Welcome to the online catalogue produced on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition An Introspective: V.S.S.S. (Veš slikar svoj dolg / Painter Do You Know Your Duty, 1985–1995) +– Alen Ožbolt (Works 1995–2018) at Moderna galerija in Ljubljana (6 February – 30 August 2020). In addition to providing a chronologically structured and highly informative overview of the oeuvres of V.S.S.D. and Alen Ožbolt, the exhibition aimed to give insight into their extremely profuse production through a selection of works emphasizing the cyclic repetition and intertwining of motifs, content, and forms, a number of partial reconstructions of former spatial works, a selection of paintings and sculptures, and fragments of works that have changed over time or no longer exist. This entanglement or entwining of motifs reappearing in Alen Ožbolt’s work, changed almost beyond recognition, decades later, has impacted also the concept of this online catalogue. Not restricted in physical space it allows us to present works that could not have been displayed at the exhibition (in full), either due to the spatial restrictions of the museum or the nature of the site-specific, one-time spatial installations that now exist as photographic documentation. The virtual environment of the online catalogue further allows non-linear reading, moving between works, spaces, and times, spatially expressed thoughts, ideas, fragments, notes – an approach that coincides with the very nature of V.S.S.D.’s and Alen Ožbolt’s artistic production.
Like the exhibition, this online catalogue consists of two parts/subpages, exhaustively showcasing the artworks, exhibitions, and texts by and about V.S.S.D. and Alen Ožbolt. Their oeuvres are presented through wide selections of works in the Catalogue of Works (the photographs were largely taken by Bojan Salaj), while their verbal/textual/book works are in the Letters, Words, Sentences section. In V.S.S.D.’s and Alen Ožbolt’s artistic practice, the format of the artwork was/is highly dependent on the physical space of its production: the artist occupies the space, transforming it into a total work of art, a spatial installation or spatial painting, as V.S.S.D. named this specific spatial-painterly-sculptural medium from the start, i.e. the first V.S.S.D. exhibition in 1986. This approach completely blurs the boundary between exhibition and artwork (or art project), making them one. Our selection of the key exhibitions/artworks/spatial paintings/art projects highlights the milestones in V.S.S.D.’s and Alen Ožbolt’s artistic practice; the presentations of exhibitions also include selections of works that had been exhibited. The original background music on the exhibition subpages was composed by Mario Marolt for V.S.S.D.’s exhibitions.
Since words are one of the fundamental materials in V.S.S.D.’s and Alen Ožbolt’s artistic practice, often constituting an important part of the artwork or exhibition, the individual V.S.S.D.’s and Alen Ožbolt’s texts are included in the presentations of the exhibitions.
The online catalogue further includes several texts by other authors: new texts by Branko Cerovac, Andre Dekker, Bojan Gorenc, Tomo Stanič, Tomislav Vignjević, and Alenka Zupančič, here published for the first time, and reprints of a text by Mladen Dolar and an interview with V.S.S.D. conducted by Boris Čibej. Also the artists, Alen Ožbolt and Anonymus (Janez Jordan), wrote new texts for the exhibition, while the introductory texts to the production of both were written by the exhibition curator Martina Vovk. A comprehensive bio-bibliography and a selection of exhibitions were compiled by Jana Intihar Ferjan. The online catalogue was edited by Alen Ožbolt and Martina Vovk, while its design, development, and execution are the work of Marko Damiš.

Going way back in time to catch up on some sessions I didn't blog from this Fall. I'll start off with a family photo session from October at Grand Army Plaza & Prospect Park. The M family was lucky to be one of my last warm day sessions from the fall. The leaves had barely started to change and the grass was still green. Its 28 degrees today and looking at these photos makes me so excited for warm weather!
We met up at Grand Army Plaza and ventured a little ways into Prospect Park to get a variety of family photos and lots of pics of little Cecily - aren't her eyes just gorgeous? She had such a laid back attitude and the coyest little smile that the session was a breeze!
We managed to find some gorgeous green grass outside of the Brooklyn Public Library and spent a little time hanging out in it. 6 months is a fun age. She was just learning to sit up and so proud of it - which you can see by her huge smile. The opportunity to photograph babies at a variety of ages is so fun. There are so many different milestones and I love being able to document that.
Hope you enjoy a few shots from the session...


This Beaver Dam Fiesta was billed as the 1st Annual. There were twenty vendors sharing their products and services with the Hispanic community. The Beaver Dam Community Library was one of the vendors with a nice display of Spanish books. Other venders included schools, churches, car dealerships, insurance agents, service organizations, translation services, and more.
People came for different reasons and many chose to taste some of the authentic food that was served. This was an opportunity for local businesses and service organizations to reach out. Also, the Hispanic community was able to learn all that is available to them. Next years date has been set for August 5th, 2006.


House of Ideology
God Father Love and the Tao
Maybe a most optimistic myth about the existence of an infinity, divinity, eternally, one; is similar to a myth about the existence of the Tao. Maybe belief that from this infinity, divinity, eternally, one; come soul spirit of world and seed body of world; is similar to belief that from the one Tao come the two; yin and yang. Maybe for Taoists yin represents everything about the world that is dark, hidden, passive, receptive, yielding, cool, soft, and feminine. I assign a feminine gender and the name Mother God to soul spirit of world. Maybe for Taoists yang represents everything about the world that is illuminated, evident, active, aggressive, controlling, hot, hard, and masculine. I assign a masculine gender and the name Father Love to seed body of world. Soul spirit of world creates soul spirit of self. Seed body of world creates seed body of self. I believe that from the unity of soul spirit of world and seed body of world an infinite number, diversity and variety of finite creatures are born. I believe an infinite number, diversity and variety of finite creatures are created by, and in the image of, an infinite creator; each being endowed with a divine eternal soul spirit, and a fractal infernal temporal seed body. These are the Soul Children of Mother God and Father Love.
"The Tao that can be told is not the
eternal Tao." So begins the Tao Te Ching (pronounced as ‘Dow De Jing’) of Lao
written some 2,500 years ago. Chapter
25 of the book begins with a brief passage that reveals to me that Taoists have some
of beliefs that are similar to my own beliefs.
Born before heaven and
In the silence and the
Standing alone and
Ever present and in
Perhaps it is the
mother of ten thousand things.
I do not know its
Call it Tao.
say the Tao is Mother of perhaps ten thousand things. Maybe ten thousand things are not the
same as an infinite number, diversity and variety of finite creatures created by, and in the image of, an infinite one;
each being endowed with a divine eternal soul spirit, and a fractal infernal temporal
seed body. Maybe the
concept of infinity would not have been native to the thinking of those that first taught,
entertained, and led; others to muse about the Tao. I doubt the difference in enumeration
of things is significant.
How then, to describe the indescribable? How to fit into words a being that is beyond words? If you insist on a description, Taoists may call the it vast, active, and moving in great cycles. The Tao is the constant round of life and death and all that falls between. The Tao resides in us as we reside in the Tao. The Tao is the source as well as the end of our being. The Tao neither judges nor condemns but continually blesses, in all moments, with an unending cycle of change and renewal. The Tao is what has always been and always will be, regardless of whether we humans blow ourselves into the astral. The Tao actually has no need of us yet continually and forever sustains us. As Chuang-tzu says, 'It exists by and through itself,' it is self-generating, of itself so. I note that the Taoist idea of a self-generating Tao; is similar to my idea of an infinity, divinity, eternally, one; that self-organizes into, and manifests for the purposes of enjoying entertainment as, an infinite seed, an infinite body, an infinite soul, and an infinite spirit.
The Tao is the way.
is source, destination, purpose, and process. In imagining and exploring the Tao, the process
and the destination are the same. John Blofeld says that in Chinese thought "the
notion of a Supreme Being, so essential to Western religions, is replaced by that of a
Supreme State of Being, an impersonal perfection that all beings, including man, are
separated from only by delusion."
Supreme State of Being is not some unattainable something "out there", far
removed from the mundane affairs of humankind. Taoists believe this Supreme State of Being
is something that we are part of and is a part of us. Maybe it is much harder to
live with a wrathful, personified deity than to live with something so simple, so natural,
and all encompassing as the Tao. As Alan Watts said, "It may reign but it does not rule.
It is the pattern of things but not the enforcer." Maybe this all inclusive
Supreme State of Being is a step closer to the way I fashion reality than is the
idea of an exclusive Supreme Being promoted by communities of faithful
believers who self organize around Abrahamic religions.
The Tao itself does
not judge, it does not condemn, it does not punish. Taoist believe that by refusing to go
along with the majestic flow of the Tao, we punish ourselves and cause ourselves all sorts of
worries and problems. Similarly I teach that a foundation of truth and knowledge
of theory based
on scientifically reproducible discovery tells us about laws of cause and effect that predict the behavior, fate and
destiny of matter and energy in the known universe. We punish ourselves, if we refuse to
discover, know, understand, apply, analyze, create and evaluate these laws of cause and effect
that predict the behavior, fate and destiny of matter and energy in the known
universe. Maybe universal laws of cause and effect suggest a system of
reward and punishment that conditions all life forms to conform to a standard of conduct that best
produces rewards of happiness and health. Maybe our universe punishes us when we
deviate from a standard of conduct suggested by universal laws of cause and effect with
sadness, fear, anger, disease and or death.
that everything is sacred, not just musty old "holy" books or special buildings
or even special people whose job it is to act as intermediaries between the sacred and the
profane. To the followers of the way there is no difference between the sacred and the
profane. There is no escaping
the Tao or sacredness. Taoist believe that the Tao is contained within everything as
everything is contained within the Tao.

An epic road trip brought to life in the memoir: The Drive in ‘65
(SEATTLE, WA – July 9, 2020) In May of 1965, eight Alaskans packed up a nine-passenger van and hit the road to discover their great country, the United State of America. Sisters Winnie and Phyllis drove 22,000 miles in fourteen weeks, showing their five Alaska-born children—and their mother—much of Canada, 26 states, and Mexico as far south as Mexico City.
Pacific Northwest writer Sandra Lynne Reed was thirteen that summer, and the Drive in ’65 was a formative experience for her as well as her sister, brother, and two cousins. In her memoir The Drive in ’65, which will be available for sale July 31, she recounts the adventures, history, lessons of a long summer on the road. Weaving in events of 1965—civil rights demonstrations, the space race, and the escalating war in Vietnam—Reed presents a snapshot of a significant point in American history. These events form the backdrop for a summer of firsts: sunburns, fresh-picked fruit, ocean swimming on both coasts, historical sites, and natural wonders. The musical sound track of that summer included the Beatles, Herman’s Hermits, Bob Dylan, and other stars of rock, folk, and Motown music.
The book covers other historic events like the earthquake that shook Alaska in March 1964 and nearly derailed the family’s plans. Despite many hardships resulting from the quake, the courage and determination of her mother and aunt carried the plan to fruition.

Marriage and Family
It is generally and wholeheartedly believed by pastors that it is critical to impact our generation through our churches and godly marriages. Pastors further believe that churches should take an active part in helping marriages and families to be an example to the world of Christ and His bride—the Church. Doing so requires healthy churches.
Healthy marriages are absolutely essential for healthy families and help provide a solid foundation for healthy, vital, and vibrant churches in order to make a generational impact. They are connected, while being divinely and purposefully intertwined.
Cultivating Christ-centered marriages and families must be a top priority from the very beginning. But, how does a pastor accomplish that, when he does not have time for one more thing on his overflowing plate?

According to Tyndale’s Concise Bible Commentary, the entire book of Deuteronomy only spans about sixty days (TOTC, 67). Deuteronomy covers the “first of Shebat,” a month corresponding to a time period in January and February, and also thirty days after the death of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:8). There is considerable evidence to support Moses’ authorship of the book of Deuteronomy, except chapter 34, the last chapter of the book, which records the death of Moses (TOTC, 67). The purpose of Deuteronomy, says the Tyndale Commentary, is to provide a link between the Israel of Egypt and the Israel of the promised land. “It is a series of three sermons by Moses designed to remind the nations of the past and prepare them for the problems of the future” (68).
Deuteronomy 1:5 explains that the book is meant to be an exposition of God’s covenant with His chosen nation of Israel. A predominant theme of the book is the emphasis of relationship between God and His people. The motive and goal for following God was the promise of of God’s blessing. The author of Deuteronomy calls on Israel to fear God, to walk in His ways, to love Him, to serve Him, and to keep His commandments (10:12-13). “Above all, God desired that Israel would return his love from the heart as a genuine expression of gratitude and obedience” (TOTC, 69). The covenant is one of love rather than legalism (Deuteronomy 6:5).
Deuteronomy 6 takes place just after Moses recounts the Ten Commandments to the people of Israel in Deuteronomy 5:1-21. The commandments of love to follow are founded on the uniqueness of God: that “the Lord is one” (Deuteronomy 6:4), implying that God alone is their Lord. The next few verses literally go to the heart of what God desires for Israel in the Mosaic covenant: love from the heart. God asks Israel to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5). What God wants is not a legalistic, external, cold obedience to His commands, He wants His commands to be on the hearts of His people always (Deuteronomy 6:6). God is referred to here by His first name, YHWH, or Yahweh, making it even more personal to God’s own heart.
Moreover, God commands that the Israelites should teach God’s instructions “diligently to [their] children, and shall talk of them when [they] sit in [their] house, and when [they] walk by the way, and when [they] lie down, and when [they] rise” (Deuteronomy 6:7). Their love for the Lord’s instructions should be ever present in their lives; it should be the food of their thoughts and meditations all day long. “You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes” (Deuteronomy 6:8). According to Dr. Paul Barker’s ESV Bible Commentary, the “frontlets” (also called “phylacteries” and “mezuzot”) are small boxes or blocks tied to one’s arm or forehead, or attached to one’s doorpost, which contain Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and other Scripture verses. Verse 9 further reinforces the command to keep them at one’s forefront, commanding to have these words written on one’s doorpost and gates (Deuteronomy 6:9). But again, this is not meant to be legalistic in nature, but rather as something the Israelites do willingly to remind themselves of their relationship with the God of love.

Editor’s Note: This story describes the excavation of a remarkable archaeological finding by University of Connecticut researchers in Old Chesterfield, Conn., which is already making waves in the field of Jewish studies. A brief historical survey of late 19th century Jewish agricultural communities in Connecticut follows.
A practically pristine Jewish ritual bath, or “mikveh,” possibly dating back to the late 19thcentury in this tiny rural community is a one-of-a-kind discovery that will reshape our understanding of a fascinating but often-overlooked part of Jewish life in America, according to University of Connecticut researchers who excavated the site.
A mikveh is an essential part of married life in traditionally observant Jewish households, and this stone and wood-lined structure from Old Chesterfield may be the only mikveh excavated outside a major North American city and may be the only example of its kind at one of the settlements created by a wealthy philanthropist who in the 1890s established farming communities for Jewish immigrants in New Jersey and Connecticut.
The existence of a ritual bath in a rural eastern Connecticut community that barely totaled 500 people at its height throws new light on the religious and social lives of those settlements which were established during a time when American rabbis were lamenting the decline of religious observances like ritual bathing, said Prof. Stuart Miller, Academic Director of the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life at UConn and an expert on ritual baths in ancient Israel. Along with State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni, Miller was one of two UConn faculty members overseeing the excavation of the Old Chesterfield site.
“The image many people have of those who belonged to the earliest agricultural communities is that they were largely socialists, and that they weren’t particularly religious,” Miller said. “This is going to enable us to write a chapter of Jewish history which to my knowledge hasn’t been written, one that will deal with the spiritual life of these communities.”
Bellantoni and Miller plan more excavations, but for now, it’s already causing a stir in the field of Judaic Studies. Miller’s proposal to present a paper on the find at the 45th annual Association for Jewish Studies conference in Boston in December has now grown into a full-blown session, with presentations from scholars in the U.S. and Israel.
“This mikveh is very exciting because there’s really nothing else like it in the United States,” Miller said. “It’s intact, it’s magnificent, and from a religious law point of view, it’s a marvel.”
Bellantoni is the Connecticut State Archaeologist and is affiliated both with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology at UConn along with UConn’s Department of Anthropology. He recently worked with New England Hebrew Farmers of the Emanuel Society (“NHHFES”), comprised of descendants of the original Jewish community of Chesterfield, to secure the designation of the site as the State’s 24th State Archaeological Preserve, which led to its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
The significance of the discovery might have remained unappreciated if it hadn’t been for a fortuitous email from Bellantoni to Miller last Spring.

Who is Eostra's Rabbit?
Ancient Pagan legend tells the story of the earth rebirth celebration on the dawn of the vernal equinox, or spring morning.
Spring is the season of rebirth and renewal, the time where the earth heals from the bitter death of winter, and restores new life to the earth.
According to legend, Eostra saved a dying earth bird and transformed her into a mighty rabbit, and bequeathed her the destiny to become the symbol of hope and fertility.
Eama (Celtic name for Emily) had to receive Eostra's lost Egg, the only crystal element capable of controlling the four warring elements and bring new life on the dawn of the spring morn.
Emily, is not like any other rabbit. She is the representation of the four elements
As the queen of spring, Eama (Emily) represents the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
Her flamed ears are of the Fire element, her ocean eyes of the Water element, Her bushy tail of the Earth element. And finally her red paw reminds us that she was a bird, masters of the Air element.
In Emily all was made whole and harmonious.
What is Eostra's Mark?
A rare and ancient gift, Esotra's mark was bestowed on beings whom she had called on in times of great need. The mark would be used as a symbol for others to know a Chosen One was in their midst, and all help should be given in aiding their quest.
When Eostra's heavenly finger touched Emily that fateful night, she left her mark, a reminder that she was the Chosen One, called to restore harmony to the Twin Worlds.
A study of the mark will reveal the well known symbol of the pantheist spiral nested inside the crescent moon, also a powerful pagan symbol of Earth power.
And of course, the egg symbol connects the infinite cycle of the spiral and the power of the crescent moon.
Eostra's Egg and the modern Easter Egg
In the scrolls of Hawkmoth Academy, it is known among a select few that every symbol has a controlling element. In the case of the earth-rebirth ritual, that controlling element is Eostra's Egg. This most powerful of crystals was crafted by the hands of the last Elemental, Eostra. When laid in the Celestial room of Kalen-Na, the Egg has the dominion, for a short time, on the dawn of the spring morn, to harness and harmonise the unruly forces of the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This is one of the ancient artefacts that the seers of Wellwyn instruct that Emily must retrieve, through trial and worthiness, in order to restore harmony to the Twin Worlds.
It is this symbol, the crystal representation of earth power and rebirth, that is gifted in countries around the world today. Although other traditions have absorbed the seemingly simple egg for other purposes, it is Eostra's Egg that began the journey of the original Easter, in a place known only in legends and retold by pagans on Earth, thousands of years ago.


Niccolò Ammaniti is one of my favorite contemporary authors, hands down. Unfortunately, only four of his novels have been translated into English, leaving three others and a collection of short stories left for those who can read and speak Italian; and although I am of Italian descent, I unfortunately cannot speak, read or write it, which is a shame. Blame the relatives. Assimilation was the thing in their day, hence, the old world and old ways were left behind once they got off the boat - more or less, anyway.
“Me and You” is actually a novella rather than a novel proper. It clocks in at around 150 pages in a small, digest sized paperback. It was published in Italy in 2010 (and selling over 600,000 copies in Italy alone) but it’s just now making its way stateside. It’s the first English publication of Ammaniti’s work since 2009’s “As God Commands.” I eagerly awaited this and I’m happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed. It is a wonderful story, at the same time heartfelt and heartbreaking.
Ammaniti returns to familiar themes here - that of adolescence and the misfit who doesn’t fit in. Usually, the protagonist comes from some small town either in northern or southern Italy, poor, from desperate situations. This time the 14 year old protagonist, Lorenzo Cuni, is a 14 year old from a very well-to-do family in Rome, where the story is set. Lorenzo is an outcast, struggling with ‘fitting in’ and desires to spend most of the time by himself. But his parents are concerned that he isn’t making any friends, isn’t like “normal kids” his age. He changes many schools and when he winds up at the regular high school his feelings of alienation grow worse. To satisfy his parents, he makes up a lie that a young student had invited him on a skiing trip with her family and a group of other kids from school. It’s a lie he can’t back out of and he takes the lie all the way up to the day the other children are leaving on the trip. He begs his mother to drop him off a few blocks away from where they are all meeting, not wanting to “look like a dickhead” to all the other kids. But Lorenzo has a plan. When his mother leaves, he puts that plan into motion: to spend the entire week alone in a room in the cellar of the building where he lives, holed up with video games and Stephen King novels. It is the chance for the freedom from his parents and from school that he had been waiting for. To spend a week in his own world. But when his half-sister shows up unexpectedly, wanting to stay with him in the room, all his plans go awry and he learns a lot not only about his mysterious step-sister who he hadn’t seen since he was a child, but about himself as well. It’s a coming of age tale that is both hopeful and tragic at the same time.
Written in very sparse, simple prose, Ammaniti takes you right into Lorenzo’s mind and you live his experiences right along with him. But a lot is being said in this little novel, and Ammaniti manages to say so much with such very few words, something I personally admire in writers. This story ranks right up there with the others in Ammaniti’s catalog and now I eagerly await the other three novels to be translated, that is, if they ever are. He’s a great storyteller and truly a great writer and this quick but very enjoyable read comes highly recommended.


This document, which is called a "finding aid," describes an archival collection.

activities. When such records are no longer needed on a day-to-day basis, a portion judged to possess enduring historical
value may be preserved and maintained as archival collections. Archival records take many forms, including correspondence,
diaries, financial and legal documents, photographs, and sound recordings. Archival materials may also include maps, scientific
data, artifacts, and electronic records such as emails or databases.
Prepared by archival staff, finding aids provide a history of the person or organization that produced the collection, an
overview of the collection, and a detailed list of the collection's contents.

While not exhaustive, finding aids help researchers identify the particular boxes or folders that may hold items of interest.
Sherry A. Suttles (1948-), an
African-American, was a former government administrator, entrepreneur, and historian
who established the Atlantic Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Atlantic Beach
Historical Society (ABHS, 2001) in Horry County, South Carolina. Established in the
1930s, Atlantic Beach became a vacation mecca for African-Americans during
segregation. The Atlantic Beach Company, comprised of physicians from North Carolina
and South Carolina, expanded development from 1943 until 1956. Known as "The Black
Pearl," vacationers traveled by the busload for the fishing, swimming, Rhythm &
Blues beach music and dancing. The Town of Atlantic Beach was chartered in 1966 with
Emery Gore and Millard Rucker as its initial mayors, is one of the few
African-American owned and governed oceanfront communities in the United States.
Thousand of tourists continue to flock to Atlantic Beach for the nationally
recognized African-American motorcycle event, BikeFest (also known as Black Bikers
Week) held annually during the Memorial Day weekend.
The collection documents Suttles' personal and
professional life along with her consulting and grant writing business, Suttles
Management Associates, Inc. (SMA, Inc.). The majority of the collection holds
documents, visual and audio recordings relating to the establishment, organization
and functions of the Atlantic Beach Historical Society, Inc. Also, included are
recorded histories ("The Colored Wall Oral History Project") from former and present
residents of Atlantic Beach. This compilation was expanded into a public exhibit,
"The Black Pearl: A Celebration of the Times and Lives of Atlantic Beach, South
Carolina," highlighting the historical significance of the town. Of note is Suttles'
extensive research and manuscript for the published book, "Images of America:
Atlantic Beach (2009). The second half of the collection focuses on The Town of
Atlantic Beach as it relates to it's administration. Also, included are materials
pertaining to BikeFest and Suttles' ABHS sponsored programs during this annual
Sherry A. Suttles Collection of Atlantic
Beach, South Carolina
3. Suttles, Sherry A. and The Atlantic Beach Historical Society.
Images of America: Atlantic Beach. Charleston (SC):
Arcadia Publishing, 2009.
Sherry A. Suttles (1948-) was born in Chicago, Illinois to Ann E. and Nathaniel
Suttles. Raised in Detroit, Michigan, Suttles attended Barnard College, (Columbia
University, New York) majoring in government. She obtained a Master's degree in
Public Policy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1971. With extensive
experience in town and city management, Suttles became the first African-American
female city manager in Oberlin, Ohio (1979-1981). In 1982, Suttles worked as a
Government Relations Director with the United Way in Cleveland, Ohio. Throughout the
1980s and 1990s, several city management positions would follow in Charlotte and
Greensboro, North Carolina and Lawrence Township, New Jersey. During Suttles tenure
in Charlotte, she established a grant writing consultant company; Suttles Management
Associates, Incorporated (SMA, Inc.). After a bout with breast cancer, Suttles
retired from local government management in 1998.
Suttles utilized her governmental skills to launch major historical initiatives
throughout the state of South Carolina, namely in the Town of Atlantic Beach. In
2000, Suttles was recruited to apply for the Atlantic Beach town manager position.
Upon discovering the history of the oceanfront community, Suttles instead joined
efforts with Jim Goodman on the community based Restore Historic Atlantic Beach
(ReHAB). Fulfilling a need, Suttles established the Atlantic Beach Chamber of
Commerce to assist in lobbying for the town's tourism and business interests.
Concurrently, Suttles created her flagship organization, The Atlantic Beach
Historical Society, Inc. Suttles eventually ran and was elected to the Atlantic
Beach Town Council in 2003, but due to purported alleged voter fraud, she was
officially seated in 2005.
The Atlantic Beach Historical Society, Inc. (ABHS), a 501 (c)3 citizen-based
organization was established in June 2001 to counter the Town of Atlantic Beach's
neglect in establishing a historical preservation and cultural committee. As
founding president, Sherry Suttles and the ABHS sought "To preserve the history of
the Coastal Carolina African American Heritage through oral histories and
memorabilia, year-round family events, and personal and real property." Through the
ABHS's numerous accomplishments Suttles obtained a historical marker for Atlantic
Beach, and published the book, "Images of America: Atlantic Beach."
Fondly referred to as "The Black Pearl," Atlantic Beach was initially developed in
1934 by George W. and Roxie Ballen Tyson as an oceanfront community for
African-Americans denied access to surrounding Myrtle Beach area beaches due to
segregation. A decade later (1943) the co-founders of the Atlantic Beach Company;
James Ward Seabrook, Ph.D, Robert Keith Gordon, and Dr. Peter C. Kelly, III
purchased additional tracts for development. From the 1930s to the 1970s, "The Black
Pearl" was one of the most popular beach resorts on the East Coast for
African-Americans. Black tourists populated the available hotels, night clubs,
restaurants, retails stores, and pavilion every May to September. The Town of
Atlantic Beach incorporated on June 30, 1966. Prior to this date, Atlantic Beach had
no town government elected officials, mayor, or town council, nor any property
taxes, police, fire departments, or building inspectors. Yet the non-governed
community survived and thrived. In the 2000s, Atlantic Beach produced BikeFest, an
annual event that would bring the town national attention. Presently, Atlantic Beach
is signified as one of the remaining African-American owned and governed oceanfront
communities in the United States.
The collection contains materials gathered and produced by Sherry Suttles and other
entities during the 2000s. Included are brief materials relating to Suttles personal
and professional life. The bulk of the collection's materials are derived from the
establishment of several community based organizations within the Town of Atlantic
Beach, with the Atlantic Beach Historical Society being the largest. Numerous
records document the Town of Atlantic Beach administration, including the Offices of
the Mayor and Town Manager, along with materials from the Town Council. Also,
records and photographs document the history of BikeFest, the Town's major annual
event, (1999-2000). A smaller series contains general subject files as it relates to
Atlantic Beach, Horry County and surrounding South Carolina areas.
The collection is divided into four series:
1. Biographical Materials holds Suttles personal and professional documents;
biographical sketches, correspondence, legal documents, and photographs. Also,
included are materials pertaining to her business, Suttles Management Associates,
Inc. (SMS, Inc.). Of note is Suttles' consulting involvement with Freewoods
Foundation and Farm, a "living farm museum" based on agricultural practices of
African-Americans post-Civil War.
2. Atlantic Beach Organizations contains materials (administrative documents,
correspondence, grant proposals, financial statements, event flyers, newspaper
articles, exhibit text panels, and audio/visual materials) regarding organizations
originated solely or in part by Suttles to facilitate historic preservation and the
promotion of tourism in Atlantic Beach, including the organizations of Restore
Historic Atlantic Beach (ReHAB), the Atlantic Beach Chamber of Commerce and mainly,
the Atlantic Beach Historical Society, Inc. (ABHS), in which Suttles was founder and
president. Several aspects of note includes Suttles' initiatives, "The Colored Wall
Oral History Project," and the subsequent exhibit, "The Black Pearl: A Celebration
of the Times and Lives of Atlantic Beach, South Carolina." In addition to recordings
of the orals histories of former Atlantic Beach residents, this series holds the
text panels used in the exhibit. Of note are materials pertaining to the
establishment of a historical marker (2005) for Atlantic Beach. Among the numerous
events held in Atlantic Beach, the ABHS organized a 40th Anniversary six month
celebration commemorating the town's incorporation (1966). Highlights include
materials from a trip to American Beach, and remembrance of MaVynee Betsch, aka "The
Beach Lady." Betsch sought to preserve her families' beach community on Amelia
Island established in 1935, and was the inspiration for Suttles to preserve the
history of Atlantic Beach. Included in "Preserving Memories..." are original
documents pertaining to Atlantic Beach properties and businesses owned by Esau
Jenkins, a civil rights activist from Johns Island, South Carolina.
3. The Town of Atlantic Beach series comprises documents (administrative documents,
correspondence, statistical reports, meeting agendas and minutes, financial
statements, court documents, event flyers, and newspaper articles) regarding the
town government with sub-series on the Office of the Mayor (mainly Irene Armstrong);
the Town Manager (specifically Carolyn Montgomery); the Housing Authority of
Atlantic Beach; and Town Council featuring a section regarding the contentious
election involving Suttles and several other candidates. BikeFest, Atlantic Beach's
annual event is represented through organizational documents (correspondence,
memorandums, event programs, newspaper articles and photographs) from 1999-2006.
Suttles' ABHS partnered with the Town for several years featuring special events for
children and adults, namely Children's BikeFest (2002).
4. Subject Files includes mostly magazine and/or newspaper articles regarding various
topics relating directly/indirectly to Atlantic Beach and Suttles interests.

Ideas of race, tribe and religion, which have played a dangerous part in continental politics, have also shaped English identity. But they were qualified and moderated by the concept of home. England was first and foremost a place – though a place consecrated by custom.–- Roger Scruton
[Sinclair] talks about the poet John Clare, who as a child walked beyond his knowledge, beyond what he knew, only to find that he no longer knew who he was because the birds and the trees didn't know him. "This is what I feel about this landscape. I've walked out into it so often that it accepts me. Bits of stone and river accept me, and I know myself by that. If the landscape changes, then I don't know who I am either. The landscape is a refracted autobiography. As it disappears you lose your sense of self.-- from a profile of Iain Sinclair.

Handcrafting Chain and Bead Jewelry
"This book is dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the Sequential Byzantine chain."
From the Publisher, Watson-Guptill Publications
* Beaders and wireworkers will be en-chain-ted by the chance to make their own chains
* Classical chain designs in silver, copper, and brass
* Entire chain-making process is explained and illustrated step-by-step
* One of a kind!
Handcrafting Chain and Bead Jewelry shows how to create beautiful, dimensional silver, copper, and brass chains using simple tools. The main style is based on the elegant, classical Byzantine pattern, and uses the Golden Ratio to determine the circumference of a chain’s interlocking rings based on the thickness of the wire. Illustrated step-by-step directions show how to calculate the circumference of the rings, how to wrap wire into coils, how to cut, and finally, how to assemble the chain. Starting from the basic Byzantine, new chain makers can then progress to increasingly Byzantine variations, including linear, knot, crown, and combination chains. Incorporating beads and charms offers endless possibilities for crafters who will soon, surely, be locked up in chains!
Scott David Plumlee, an authority on ancient chain designs, has created more than sixty unique chain designs based on mathematical formulas. His chain-making workshops have been presented throughout Washington State. He now lives in Manhattan, Kansas.
Pssst....you can order the book from the author and get it autographed!


The Peacemaker - Iroquois Confederacy Social Studies Grade 6
Centuries ago, the Iroquois nations found a way to establish peace and unity among themselves. Even today, they rediscover the source of their peace in the story of Peacemaker. It is said that somewhere in "the land of the crooked tongues," the region that is now eastern Ontario, an old woman had a dream that a messenger from the Great Spirit was standing before her.
"Your daughter will bear a child," said the messenger. "And when this child has grown to manhood he will leave home and become the Peacemaker among the nations." When the child, whose name was Tekanawite, was a young boy he received a vision of the Good Message of Peace, and he knew the mission of his life. He grew to be a strong and handsome man, honest and straightforward, but his people held him in low respect because he valued peace rather than war.
One day Tekanawite called his grandmother and mother to him and spoke to them.
"I shall now build my canoe," said Tekanawite, "for the time has come for me to stop the shedding of blood among the people." Tekanawite did not fashion a birch bark canoe, but carved it from solid stone.
He called his grandmother and mother to the shore, and told them, "This stone canoe will float, and this shall be a sign that my words are true." It is said that when Tekanawite took his place in the stone canoe, it began to move, without the help of a paddle, out onto Sganyadaií-yo, the Beautiful Great Lake now called Lake Ontario, and then turned south toward the land of the People of the Longhouse.
In those days, the people lived in constant conflict. The five Iroquois nations, which are known as the Mohawk, the Onondaga, the Oneida, the Cayuga, and the Seneca, had become entrapped by unceasing warfare brought on by their chiefs.
The pattern was the same in every settlement. The young men were glorified for their bravery and fighting strength, winning praise and admiration for their feats of daring, and for the spoils they brought back from their raiding parties. Such activity, however, generated a perpetual cycle of bloodshed, revenge and hatred between the settlements. Fear and mistrust clouded people's minds. It was a time of great anxiety and suffering.
It is said that when the warfare between the people of the five nations was most intense, Tekanawite appeared in one settlement after another, bearing the message of the Longhouse, the Good Message of Great Peace, and the Power of the Good Mind.
"Let the people love one another," Tekanawite would say. "We are all children of the great Spirit. We are brothers and sisters. Forego and forget your revenge. Let us live in peace." The people listened and were impressed, for in their hearts they were tired of the bloodshed. They longed to tend their crops of maize and melons without the menace of raiders from the forest. And so they welcomed the proposal of Tekanawite that there should be a permanent alliance between the nations.
Of course there was opposition to Tekanawite's message of peace. There were those who had become so accustomed to the life of the warrior that they could not imagine life without warfare. One such hold-out was old Atotárho, a sorceror of the Onondagas.
It is said that Atotárho had a twisted body that matched his twisted mind, and that his hair was a mess of tangled snakes. People were afraid to look at him, and the sound of his voice carried terror throughout the land.
Ai:ionwatha was a Mohawk living among the Onondagas. He had grown weary of the bitter strife among the people, and had tried to set up a peace council. This attempt, however, brought him into direct conflict with Atotárho, who used witchcraft to kill Ai:ionwatha's three daughters, and political pressure to drive Ai:ionwatha from the Onondaga community.
An outcast and a wanderer, Ai:ionwatha lived alone in the forest without human company. One day, while sitting on the bank of a small river, weeping over his mourning beads, Ai:ionwatha looked up to see Tekanawite.
"My brother," said Tekanawite, "I see you are suffering some deep grief. You are a chief among your people, and yet you are homeless." When Ai:ionwatha had recounted his sad story, Tekanawite began his mission of peace among the Iroquois people by healing Ai:ionwatha's grief. The Peacemaker's bitter-sweet condolence dried the tears from Ai:ionwatha's eyes, cleared his ears, and opened his breathing. Ai:ionwatha's grief left him.
"Now let reason return," said Tekanawite. "Join me now to bring a new understanding among the people of the five nations." Thereafter the two men travelled together, carrying the Good Message of the Great Peace to the Iroquois nations. The Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Cayugas and the Senecas received the message and joined together in a Confederacy. The Onondagas, too, joined the Confederacy, but the powerful sorcerer, Atotárho, refused.
"We must seek the fire of Atotárho," said Tekanawite. "He alone stands across our path. His mind is twisted and there are seven crooks in his body. These must be straightened if the Confederacy is to survive." "You and I must visit the Great Wizard. I shall sing the Peace Song and you shall explain the Words of the Law. Then you will comb the snakes from his hair and I will straighten the crooks from his body." "What are these foolish words?" screamed Atotárho, as Tekanawite and Ai:ionwatha stood before him, chanting their songs of peace and speaking the words of the great Law of the Longhouse.
"We bring a new understanding," said Tekanawite. "Our words tell of a new life for the people. Our words are for those who wish to raise their families in peace and harmony. There shall be order when the people desire justice, health when they obey reason, and power when they accept the Great Law of the Longhouse." "And what is that to me?" asked Atotárho.
"You, Atotháro," replied Tekanawite, "shall be the Fire Keeper of the League of Five Nations. You shall tend the Council Fire, the fire that never dies. And the smoke of that fire shall reach the sky and be seen by all the people." Then Ai:ionwatha combed the snakes from Atotárho's hair, fulfilling his name, "He Combs the Hair." Tekanawite laid his hand on Atotárho and straightened the crooks from his twisted body.
"You, Atotárho," announced Tekanawite, "will preside over the Great Council, and strive in all ways to make reason and peace prevail. Your voice shall be the voice of the Great Law." And as Tekanawite spoke these words, the mind of Atotárho was made straight and clean.
As a symbol of the League of the Five Nations, Tekanawite chose the pine tree. Under the tree was a great hole filled with rushing water. Into this hole the warriors flung their hatchets and war-clubs. Then they raised the fallen tree together, planting it firmly in the land of the Onondagas, the place of the Great Council Fire.
Under the shade of the Tree of Peace sat Atotárho and other Onondaga chiefs, caretakers of the Great Peace. The tree had long roots spreading north, east, south and west. If any nation wished to join the League, it could follow the roots to the source and take shelter under the tree's shade. Atop the tree, Tekanawite placed the Eagle-that-sees-far to watch and scream a warning at the approach of danger.
"We bind ourselves together," said Tekanawite, "by taking hold of each other's hands so firmly and forming a circle so strong that if a tree should fall upon it, it could not shake nor break, so that our people and grandchildren shall remain in the circle in peace, security and happiness." The Iroquois people trace their great Confederacy back more than 1,500 years. In 1713 the five nations were joined by the Tuscaroras to create the League of the Six Nations, the Confederacy that has lasted down to the present day. The Great Peace was accepted across North America by all of the native nations.

The Statistics and Growth of the Scientology religion
No religion in history has spread as fast or as far in as short a time as Scientology. Today it is practiced in more than 30 languages in 129 countries on every continent.
This part details the expansion of Scientology from its birth in the United States in the early 1950s to its scope today. The next five chapters cover a wide variety of data on the Scientology religion and Scientologists, the breakthrough “firsts” which have spurred its ascendancy, the history or its expansion, documentation of the sources who have opposed it and the predictions about Scientology by sociologists, religionists and others.
Here is a look at the phenomenon of a new religion emerging and flourishing in a time of generally declining religious influence.

(Griffith, 1921) Music composed and compiled by Louis F. Gottschalk and William Frederick Peters.
In Orphans of the Storm D. W. Griffith crossed A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens with The Two Orphans by Adolphe d’Ennery. The resultant story about two orphan girls (Dorothy and Lillian Gish) in Revolutionary Paris rivals an opera in complexity and spectacle. The film’s original musical accompaniment was composed and arranged by William Frederick Peters (1876-1938) and Louis Ferdinand Gottschalk (1864-1934) (not Louis Moreau Gottschalk) under the supervision of Griffith. Peters was the musical director for David Belasco, Mrs. Leslie Carter and Maude Adams. Trained in the U.S. and in Germany, he wrote a number of background scores for films. Gottchalk won his reputation initially by leading the company that introduced Lehar’s Merry Widow to American audiences. He also prepared the music for The Three Musketeers, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
