One has only to go through some internet sites to gauge how women will be celebrating International Women’s Day. Socialists may have started the trend of celebrating 8th March as Women’s Day, but capitalists make the most of it.
In western countries, the day was earmarked to fight for equal rights. The day also marked ‘suffrage’ or women’s right to vote. In India, women never had to do that. Women always had the right to vote. Therefore, we cannot let the day go, without dwelling on what we want to celebrate this day.
According to historian and author Arthur Llewellyn Basham’s book, The Wonder that was India, “A woman, according to most authorities, was always a minor at law. As a girl, she was under the tutelage of her parents, as an adult, of her husband, and as a widow, of her sons. The Arthashastra reveals the restrictions that were imposed on women in Vedic times.
A woman had little initiative. Women were faithful and obedient to their husbands. A wife’s first duty was to her husband. And unmarried women were a liability to their families. However, they were treated with honor and accorded the respect due to her. In later times, women sometimes took part in the war.”
History shows that the women who fought on the battlefields were mainly to protect their husbands and sons. Rani Lakshmi Bai rose as a fighter during the Indian Rebellion of 1857; Razia Sultan and Sarojini Naidu rose during the freedom struggle.
Primarily their role has been that of a nurturer and caregiver of the family. The age of science brought with it Janaki Ammal Edavaleth Kakkat, a botanist who researched cytogenetic and geography; and the organic chemist, Darshan Ranganathan.
Most of the texts of that time, give the impression that life was looked at from the perspective of the Man. Society, Occupation, Family, Rituals, Life itself is described for a man. Women were their bhagidaar (partners). In fact, one of the texts says, “The wife is half the man…for a woman is the everlasting field, in which the Self is born.”
Reflect the importance of the woman in a man’s life. Her importance is there only if she is important to the man. Outside of it, she doesn’t exist.
It becomes easier to understand.
The past gives birth to the future and therefore, to script a new way of ‘being’ for the Indian woman, we have to discard what is not working in the social constructs of the past.
And to carve out a sense of ‘Self’
Today decide what do you want to celebrate!
On the enticement of marketers?
Or to celebrate YOU?
Who YOU are – pure emotion, creation, life itself?
What YOU make of your life!

The Wind in the Willows Christmas
The Wind in the Willows is a classic children's tale with
animal characters. It was written in 1908 by Kenneth Grahame
and has become a popular story all over the world, and has
been republished many times over the century it has been in
print. It has four main characters that are anthropomorphic
(animals with human characteristics).
Mole is a homebody that is very mild-mannered. He loves the
countryside and Mole End where he lives. Although a bit
overwhelmed when he first moves there, he eventually settles
down into the riverside community.
Ratty is a friendly citizen of the riverside and helps Mole
settle into the community. He is laid back and helps
everyone he can.
Mr. Toad is a friendly but rich and conceited toad that
lives in his family manor named Toad Hall. He is prone to
obsessive compulsive tendencies which express themselves by
his going after the newest thing until he gets bored and
drops it. This bad habit gets him into trouble that nearly
loses him Toad Hall and endangers his life and that of his
friends several times.
Mr. Badger is a no nonsense character that keeps everyone
else in line. He is often being driven crazy by Mr. Toad's
obsessive tendencies and tries often to control things for
Mr. Toad's own good. He is brave and courageous. He dislikes
society and tries to socialize as little as possible.
The Wind and the Willows Christmas story is from a chapter
in "The Wind and the Willows" called "Dulce Domum". Here
Mole has been living with Ratty for quite some time. Mole
finds his way back to his old home, Mole End, and Ratty
helps Mole transform Mole End into a cheerful place for
Christmas. Some mouse carolers come by and share in the
celebration. It is a touching chapter of warmth and
So, when you are snuggled up with your young one at
Christmas and want to read a good holiday book read this
chapter out of "The Wind and the Willows" entitled "Dulce
Domum" and share with your child this wonderful story of
love and friendship between Mole, Ratty, Mr. Toad and Mr.
Badger in "The Wind and the Willows."

Bird Droppings September 30, 2020
Is the seat of the soul in the heart or mind?
I believe I was prepared from childhood to discuss this topic. It has been many years since my first introduction to Native Peoples. I was three or four years old when I first remember my father’s Little Strong Arm and Black Eagle stories. The term Native American was not argued, and the word Indian was not officially becoming politically charged, so we grew up with Indian stories. My father’s stories came from his background in the Boy Scouts of America; he had been an Eagle Scout, a scout leader, and a summer camp program director. Indian lore was a significant portion of Boy Scouting in those days. As he told us as kids, some of the stories came from meeting the code talkers on his ship in the Navy ferrying marines onto the beach fronts. I am borrowing from a favorite book on Indian Crafts my father told us of counting coup. W. Ben Hunt explains the word and meaning.
“Riding into battle with no weapons save a coup stick, and touching your enemy then riding back. It was considered a great honor to count coup” W. Ben Hunt
My father worked his summers during college in New Hampshire at Camp Waunakee using Indian Lore as a base for camp activities, and he was chief of the campfire. During his military service, as a medic on a navy LSM in World War II, I learned he had spent many hours talking with Navaho code talkers as his Navy ship delivered them to islands in the South Pacific. He would say he was part Indian through all of those years, but it was not until he was in his seventies that his sister uncovered my great grandmother’s lineage, Leni Lenape, a clan of the Delaware tribes, and confirmed it. To me, as a child, Indians were special, my father instilled this in us, but there was always a spiritual aspect I could not explain. As I was reading for this dropping, a thought I pulled out of another old book from my childhood days by William Tompkins. My father would use this book to teach us rudimentary sign language if we ever needed to converse with Indians.
“The originators of the Indian signs thought that thinking or understanding was done with the heart, and made the sign “drawn from the heart” Deaf mutes place extended fingers of the right hand against the forehead to give the same meaning” William Tompkins
As I read this line, thinking and understanding come from the heart in so much of Indian philosophy; perhaps this drew me to this group of people. I grew up with feathers, drums, rattles, and other Indian paraphernalia always around the house. In my own experiences, the spirituality and acceptance of all things as sacred in Native people’s culture intrigued me. As I started into a graduate school program on curriculum theory, it had never occurred to me how education had been so misused and so often deliberately so in history. Those in power avoided teaching some things; I use the term fine print concerning our indigenous peoples.
Modern culture used the trust inherent in their culture, and their understanding of life and nature was turned against them for profit and greed. Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman, a member of the Dakota tribe, a medical doctor and known in his tribe as Ohiyesa is quoted in Kent Nerburn’s, The Soul of an Indian as he addresses a significant difference in white and Indian thought.
“Many of the white man ways are past our understanding …. They put a great store upon writing; there is always paper. White people must think that paper has some mysterious power to help them in the world. The Indian needs no writings; words that are true sink deep into his heart, where they remain. He never forgets them. On the other hand, if a white man loses his papers, he is helpless” Dr. Charles Eastman, Ohiyesa
In reading and discussing in graduate school, not much is different from the many innuendos in today’s education and curriculums of hidden agendas and political maneuvering. As I progressed in my own schooling, I learned that Columbus mistakenly called the indigenous people he encountered Indians thinking he had found a way to the Spice Islands of the West Indies. The name would stick until more recently as we became politically correct and use the term Native Americans. Columbus even wrote in his journal of presenting letters from the King and Queen to the Great Khan, thinking he was in China or near, according to noted historian Ronald Takaki.
As I became older and too sought out my understanding of Native Peoples and my readings went deeper. During my undergraduate years, I spent a semester in Texas and experienced firsthand a powerful hatred even then in 1968 for Indians. My journey very much paralleled my spiritual and educational pathways as with each step, my ties and understanding grew. I was looking for answers even back then.
“When you see a new trail or footprint, you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.” Uncheedah, grandmother of Ohiyesa
I was searching for answers even in those days. As I finished up my undergraduate program at Mercer University, I realized why Indians were never taught to read the fine print. In classes and from friends, I received books and articles to read, adding to my understanding. From one of our course texts, Author Joel Spring points out the concept of deculturalization.
“Deculturalization is one aspect of the strange mixture of democratic thought and intolerance that exists in some minds. The concept of deculuralization demonstrates how cultural prejudices and religious bigotry can be intertwined with democratic beliefs. It combines education for democracy and political equality with cultural genocide – the attempt to destroy cultures. Deculturalization is an educational process that aims to destroy a people’s culture and replace it with a new culture.” Joel Spring
From earlier on, there was an effort to assimilate and dismantle the Native peoples’ cultures in America. In the early 1500s, Spanish colonists were first to deceive and destroy the native people? Several nights ago, a recent History channel episode was based on Cortez and the conquering of the Aztecs. One of the historians made a statement that in fewer than two hundred years from that first encounter with Cortez, ninety percent of America’s indigenous people were either killed or died from European-based disease. The Europeans enslaved a new world.
So many times, it was through deception. As the white man pushed into the new world, treaties and agreements were signed often with little understanding of the Native peoples’ part. The land was not for sale, yet the white man is offering us trinkets. How foolish is the white man? Vine Deloria Jr., states very clearly in his book Custer died for your sins:
“In the treaty of August 5, 1926, almost as if it were an afterthought, an article (III) stated: The Chippewa tribe grant to the Government of the United States the right to search for, and carry away, any metals or minerals from any part of their country. But this grant is not to effect title of the land or existing jurisdiction over it. The Chippewa’s, in the dark as to the importance of their mineral wealth, signed the treaty. This was the first clear-cut case of fraudulent dealings on the part of Congress. Close examination of subsequent Congressional dealings shows a record of continued fraud covered over by pious statements of concern for their words.” Vine Deloria Jr
I wonder if the Indian agents held their hand over portions of the treaty or wrote in such small lettering that most people could not read. It may have been perhaps using Old English lettering and only having taught in Times Roman fonts, which would bewilder most educated people even today. This concerted effort by those in control throughout American History was even condemned by the US government who were themselves, orchestrating much of it, as shown by Joel Spring in his book.
“The US Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare issued in 1969 the report Indian Education: A National Tragedy-A national Challenge. The report opened with a statement condemning previous educational policies of the Federal government: “A careful review of the historical literature reveals that the dominant policy of the Federal Government toward the American Indian has been one of forced assimilation…. Because of a desire to divest the Indian of his land”, Joel Spring
In many ways, it was a naivety that undermined the Indians in their dealings with the Europeans and, eventually US Government. But it was also an inherent trust that bound the various tribes and peoples together. There was no fine print to an Indian; his word was bond. It would be many years and near extinction till Indians realized the treachery. Kent Nerburn writes extensively about Native Peoples Spirituality and offers.
“The rule of mutual legal compact, with its European roots, had no precedent among the individualistic native peoples of the continent. In addition, the idea of land as personnel property, a key principle on which the United States was basing its treaties, was alien to the native people. How could one own the land?” Kent Nerburn
Our current curriculum study shows many overlapping and residual effects, and it goes far beyond just Native Peoples. Those in power write fine print for one reason so that is not read and essentially control the overall outcome and direction of whatever is in question. My position is we have been as a people continually dealt with agreements; contracts riffed with the fine print regarding education and curriculum to a point it has become what we expect.
Each year teachers sign their contract with numerous areas of extremely fine print. Daily we are being handed fine print in the news and through the media about Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, politics, religion, and many too numerous to mention, including our president-elect by the electoral college. Maybe one day, we can indeed have a democracy in our democratic nation funny thing is educator John Dewey said and felt the best way to ensure democracy was through a democratic classroom. So, as I set my thoughts to paper and close for this morning, please help others read the fine print, and please keep all in harm’s way on your mind and in your hearts namaste.
My family and friends, I do not say this lightly,
(We are all related)

Manga, or Japan’s answer to Comics, has been around since the late 1800s. But it wasn’t until the early 20th century that manga started to be widely consumed in North America and Europe. Though there are many different theories about how manga began, one of the most popular is that it was actually a response to the shōnen manga movement, which was taking off in Japan at the time.

Devavrata was the son of King Shantanu, and due to his great ability as an able leader and warrior was made the crown prince of Bharata dynasty. Karma is part of the natural order, and can be controlled. Hence he became popular as Bharata Chakravarti or Emperor of Bharata. Dhritarashtra, Pandu and Vidura were biological children of Vyasa. Among the principal works and stories that are a part of the Mahabharata are the Bhagavad Gita, the story of Damayanti, an abbreviated version of the Ramayana, and the Rishyasringa, often considered as works in their own right. Bharata established his dynasty with the rule of giving prominence to merit over inheritance. Join Now! Listen. Don’t spread this type of dirty fictional stories… If vrishali didn’t love her spouse karna… Why she did sati after karma’s death… And also Know the truth that kunti begged Karna to spare pandavas.. Karna is superior warrior to Arjuna.. Not only arjuna everyone in the Mahabharata… Bhishma, bound by his vow to protect the king, ends up a mute spectator to all the wrongs that take place. They fall into deep discussion about their love for the Pandavas and dislike towards Duryodhana. His best friend was Karna. The Mahabharata is actually not just a series of stories - it is actually a beautiful lesson on the cause-and-effect theory, a lesson on Karma itself.

The story of Mahabharata is well known to all Indians if not through the books taught in the school, but at least through parents, grand parents, TV serials and Amar Chitra Katha. What was denied to Bhishma was again denied to Yudhishtira. When Yudhisthira becomes the king of Hastinapura, Indraprastha and the Emperor of India at the end of the war, Draupadi again becomes Queen. (5).Shakuntala, who was protected by the birds, is found in Mahabharata (1-71) and Kalidasa’s most famous Shakuntalam drama. But to their surprise, Pandavas return alive – that is when the story takes an ugly turn. His blind love towards his son Duryodhana causes the destruction of his lineage – the Kauravas – and there by Satyavati’s biological lineage. The Vana Parva (or Aranya Parva), also known as the "Book of the Forest", is the third of eighteen parvas in the Indian epic Mahabharata. Copyright © 2010–2020. Devdutt Pattanaik uncovers the hidden stories of the greatest epics in Hindu mythology, Ramayana and Mahabharata. The justice denied by Dashraj to Bhishma, to give inheritance (Satyavati’s children) the right to throne over merit (Bhishma) , started the cycle of Karma – which brought back merit (Pandavas) to rule the throne – winning against inheritance (Kauravas). All the male protagonists' tales have been retold again and again. Karna was the son of Kunti from the Sun God. Throughout his life, Karna only believed in his “Karma”. Karna was one of the most unfortunate characters in the epic story of Mahabharata. This great epic is divided into several Parvas or chapters, each of which deals with a phase in the life of the central characters.

Satyavati is forced to bring in her another son, Veda Vyasa – to father children with the wives of Vichitravirya through Niyoga. Devavrat observes this, finds out the reason for this father’s sadness. KARNA is one of the most fascinating characters of Mahabharata, the longest Sanskrit epic written two millennium ago.Besides being an invincible warrior he was known for his generosity. Throughout his life, Karna only believed in his “Karma”. So Bhishma compensates for Dhritharashtra’s blindness after Pandu’s death. Regardless of his bad luck and fight with fortune, he proved to all that he was a real man. The Mahabharata war gives back prominence to merit (Pandavas) over inheritance (Kauravas).

How should we deal with oral history that does not have any accompanying documents? Most people have powerful and important stories in their family history and we respond to one listener’s question about the validity of family history stories that do not have reliable sources to verify the events. Richard shares a personal experience of family oral tradition that drifted into some inaccuracies.
This discussion leads to a wider examination of the unique section of the Doctrine and Covenants, Section 135. This tribute to Joseph and Hyrum Smith was written very shortly after the terrible events of Carthage and added to the 1844 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants that was in production at the time of their murders. In the 1981 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, this memorial to Joseph and Hyrum Smith was attributed to John Taylor. In the 2013 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, that attribution was removed. We discuss the authorship of this powerful section of the Doctrine and Covenants.

Transforming Lives through Books, Libraries, and Services
A child’s access to reading material is one of the strongest predictors of his or her ability to succeed academically, yet more than 60 percent of children living in low-income families have no books at all in their homes, according to The Heart of America Foundation®, a nonprofit dedicated to providing children in need with the tools to read, succeed and make a difference.
Since 1997, The Heart of America Foundation has been growing children’s interest in reading in low-income communities across 43 states.
When The Heart of America Foundation’s co-founders Bill and Angie Halamandaris first created the Washington, D.C.-based charity, their mission was to promote volunteer service among children and students. They sponsored a speaker’s series that brought inspirational young ambassadors to local schools to talk with children about the value of volunteering and making a difference in their communities.
Yet, from its very earliest days, the young speakers returned from their school visits with stories of unmet needs at local schools. One speaker returned from a public school in one of Washington, D.C.’s poorest neighborhoods to report the children had no books.
Bill and Angie were stunned that schools just miles from the White House and U.S. Capitol lacked the most basic tool in learning. So, they organized a book drive and collected 6,000 books for the school.
“We did a survey and found out that many poor children not only didn’t have books at home, but they were also attending schools where there were no books in the libraries and classrooms,” recalls Angie. “If you have no books in the classroom, no library and no books at home, how are you going to compete with children who do?’’
Within a few years, Bill and Angie realized that providing the books alone was not sufficient. The classroom and school libraries in many urban schools were falling apart with old worn furniture and carpeting.
It broke our hearts. A library should be the heart and soul of the school, a safe harbor — Angie Halamandaris
Through this organic discovery, The Heart of America Foundation evolved and acquired a new focus - putting books into the hands of children who need them the most and providing all students with an inviting, safe place to develop a lifelong love of reading. Uniquely committed to education and volunteerism, The Heart of America Foundation’s programs engage volunteers in revitalizing school libraries and reading spaces in under-resourced communities into vital and vibrant centers of learning.
Capital One has been a key partner of The Heart of America Foundation since 2001. Together, Capital One and The Heart of America Foundation have revitalized more than 40 libraries for children in low-income communities across the country and donated books valued at more than $9.5 million to over 470,000 students.
More than just a financial commitment, hundreds of Capital One associates have volunteered to help transform the new library spaces and provide books for students in low-income schools. Capital One volunteers also provide financial education activities for children at the schools where it is revitalizing libraries.
“Heart of America would not be what it is today without Capital One’s investment,’’ Angie says. “Tens of thousands of lives have been changed because of that investment. The beautiful thing we get to do is help put into practice a corporate culture of investing in the community. All of the people we work with at Capital One have a commitment to community and a love of the company and what they are doing."
Since 1997, The Heart of America Foundation has provided children living in poverty with over two million library and take-home books and has engaged volunteers in more than one million hours of service to communities nationwide.

Pevsner kept diaries for over sixty years. For the first six of these years, between the ages of 12 and 18, before he had other and larger projects to catalogue, he not only wrote the diaries every day but kept minutely detailed indexes to what he had written, almost more revealing than the entries themselves.
‘Abhorrence of a vacuum’ is followed by ‘longing for a brown complexion’, ‘nailbiting’ and ‘the first drink’. ‘Pevsner the poseur’ is counterbalanced by ‘dealings with his conscience’. His views on ‘the coming rise of the proletariat’ sit side by side with thoughts on the relative merits of trousers and bare legs. He both confesses his fear of having no talent as a scholar and congratulates himself on his new-found self-assurance. This blog will aim, like the diaries, to provide insights into Pevsner’s character as well as angles on his work. But it won’t be indexed and the entries will come in no particular logical or chronological order.
The reading list
Some early clues to his interests. He thought it was worth the effort to make a list of what he had been reading: Thomas Mann above all, Goethe, Schiller, Schopenhauer, Strindberg, Dostoevsky — not many laughs here — but also Longfellow, Poe, Molière, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, George Bernard Shaw and Shelley. In contrast with the Buildings of England years, when he complained that he never read a novel at all, the young Pevsner seems to have tried to keep up with recent fiction as well, some of it racier than one might have expected.
Danish novelist Herman Bang was described by Monet as ‘the first impressionist author in the world’; his novel Families Without Hope (1880), centred on a young man’s love affair with an older woman, was banned. Peter Altenberg, Austrian poet and essayist, an influential member of the ‘Young Vienna’ movement, was a professional bohemian given to aphorisms very likely to appeal to a teenage diarist: There is only one thing indecent with nakedness, and that is to find nakedness indecent, Art is life, life is life, but to lead life artistically is the art of life, and so on.
The poet Richard Dehmel (author of the poem which Schoenberg set to music as ‘Verklärte Nacht’) was another author to cause a scandal through his championing of sex as the weapon with which to break the bonds of bourgeois morality. Arnold Zweig was an anti-war activist, Frank Wedekind a satirist and cabaret artist who had gone to prison at the turn of the century for lèse-majesté. Arthur Schnitzler had just written a play – Professor Bernhardi (1912) – attacking anti-semitism, and was one of the first writers in German (he was Austrian) to experiment with the stream-of-consciousness narrative.
Theodor Storm had been consumed by his love for a very young girl – an echo, perhaps, for the sixteen-year-old Pevsner of his love for the fourteen-year-old Lola. Storm believed in the therapeutic effect of reminiscences: hard to know if Pevsner found his diaries therapeutic, but they were a habit that he would find very hard to break.

Posts about books I’ve read
This was initially recommended to my by my friend, Colleen, as a good read. Then I heard it referred to as the new Twilight, which did not bode well. But then my friend, Sharon, referred to it as the Smarter Twilight, which seemed a better recommendation.
It’s a great concept: in a post apocalyptic future, The Capitol is surrounded by 12 Districts. Every year, each district must send two of their children, one male, one female, between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death. It’s a great, and disturbing, idea and it makes for a great jumping off point, and the novel lives up to it for the most part.
Because it’s a YA novel, the brutality of the concept is soft pedaled somewhat. Most of the deaths happen off screen, except for one notable exception that is a pivotal moment for the POV character. I couldn’t help thinking it would have been nice to see the concept handled for an adult audience, so it could really explore in detail the horror of making teens fight to the death. Other than that, my only other quibble with the story is a bit too much Team Edward/Team Jacob style emotional hand-wringing.
Those things aside, the book was an exciting read that kept me interested and has me now reading the second book, which further explores the universe. The YA writing style makes them easy reads and the characters are engaging. Worth a read.
Devoured this book over a weekend. Exciting and chilling in so many ways. It takes a familiar theme of an AI taking over the world and gives it a fresh new spin by making the weapons the AI uses very familiar and close to the modern uses of robotic technology. The armageddon comes in the form of objects we use all the time and think nothing about, which makes them all the more frightening.
Wilson structures the novel as a series of stories from different points of view, meticulously recorded by Archos, the rogue AI, interpreted and told by a man in the aftermath of the war. It’s an unconventional structure that really works, taking us from scene to scene in a way that no single POV character could have done, yet maintaining some familiarity in the voice through Cormac.
Cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Renate Schultz [nee Hartig]
Reni's History & Recollections
Summary From An Interview
By Her Brother, John
February 25, 2012
At Nick's Birthday Party
Renate Hartig graduated from St. Mary's High School in Kitchener in 1967. Her first job was as a secretary at the old city hall, working for two of the city's mayors: Mayor Sid McLennan and Mayor Edith MacIntosh. The old city hall was a real historical landmark in Kitchener in those days, with its dome and its stately pillars, and in fact, Queen Elizabeth II herself stood there on the steps of the old city hall, in her pink coat and pink hat, waving to adoring onlookers in the summer of 1957. The old city hall, despite protests was demolished, along with the old Kitchener market, to make room for a new city hall and a new market by 1993.
Renate married Dave Schultz on August 16, 1969. Dave was a grad of St. Jerome's High School and he became a manager of one of the Zehr's Supermarkets in Kitchener. Reni and Dave had Tricia in 1974 and Kelly in 1978 and they raised their kids at 44 Plaza Court, a house only a few blocks away from where mom Rosa lived in the Frederick Street Apartments. Mom Rosa used to walk with her high heels to babysit the girls when they were small. Dad Mike built the facade to the fireplace in Reni and Dave's house since he knew how to do brickwork from his construction working days. St. Ann's Church was the home church for the family as the girls were growing up.
Both Trish and Kelly graduated from St. Mary's High School like their mother did and now both of them are married too. Trish married Matt Duckett in 2004 and they have two boys, Kieran and Jackson, so Oma Rosa became a great grandmother.
Dave and Renate were married for 28 years. They divorced in 1991. Reni moved to a condo at the Trinity Seniors' Home when her multiple sclerosis got worse and she needed more care. From the condo, she transferred to the full care suites in the Home itself after several years. Reni was on the first floor of the Home and mom Rosa was on the third floor. Nick Giesler, a close friend, came to visit Reni regularly at the Home and he would guide her wheelchair into the elevator to go up to the third floor to visit mom Rosa or vice-versa, he'd bring Rosa down for a chat with Reni.
Nick became a close friend while Reni still lived in the Trinity condo. She broke her pelvis in February 2003. and had to recuperate at the Sunnyside Nursing Home for a month or so where she got to know Nick. He was a church volunteer, at the time, who delivered communion to the sick and shut-ins and that's how Reni and he became friends.
They've known each other for over 9 years and Nick is still faithful in visiting and spending time with Reni. A huge part of what bonds their friendship together is their Catholic religion and a strong Faith in God. Nick does a lot for Reni, anything from reminding her of her appointments to getting her coat on on time when she has to go somewhere.
Renate celebrated her 60th birthday party at the Concordia Club in 2008 [arranged by brother George and his wife, Shelley]. Nick danced with 88 year old Rosa while she whistled to the music. Nick himself celebrated his 90th birthday party on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at the Trinity Home so Reni was able to attend easily with her wheelchair. Nick's daughters arranged this shin-dig with banners, cake, coffee, sandwiches and a roomful of well-wishing relatives and guests. Everybody had stories to tell.
Reni remembered mom Rosa as a good mother, though somewhat domineering in always telling the kids to put their coats on. She said that mom used to call her "Kritsch" when she was a kid. When asked why mom called her that, Reni laughed and said: "Because I was the little one." Reni was a skinny little blond girl when she was a kid and so the German nickname somehow fit her. Reni also recalled how she leaned over the railing on the boat we took to Canada when she was only 5 and that I grabbed her away from the railing. Again she smiled: "Otherwise I wouldn't be here anymore."
It's been a long history for Reni since coming to Canada in 1954 as a 5 year old girl. A lot of time, places and people have come and gone. There are 3 ironies which stand out in Reni's life:
There were lots of stories floating around at Nick's 90th birthday party. On his side, his girls recalled Nick's favourite pastimes with fishing and riding horses. There were plenty of pictures in the family album to show off Nick's favourite hobbies: Nick proudly holding up a huge fish he caught for the camera lens and another picture of him perched astride on top of a palomino in a parade. Reni said that she was thankful she had met Nick Giesler and that he was her friend through all these years.
Passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 3, 2016: Renate [Reni] Hartig-Schultz at Trinity Village Long Term Care, Kitchener after a long battle with multiple sclerosis at the age of 67. Dear mother of Tricia Duckett (Matthew) of Breslau and Kelly Grebinski (Evan) of Ayr. Loved grandmother of Kieran, Jackson and Emma. Dear sister of George (Shelley) Hartig and John (Marjorie) Hartig. Also survived by her good friend Nick Giesler. Predeceased by her parents Michael and Rosa Hartig and sister Nelly Kuppek.
Renate's family will receive relatives and friends from 2-4 p.m. & 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, July 5, 2016 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener, 519-749-8467. Prayers will be held at 8:45 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home and on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 10:20 a.m. then process to St. Aloysius R.C. Church, 11 Traynor Avenue, Kitchener where Mass of Christian burial will take place at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception in the church hall. Private cremation and family interment to take place at a later date.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Multiple Sclerosis Society would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).

As the hopes, dreams and hard labor of our forefathers settled this countryside, let us build on that firm foundation, valuing the past as the future inevitably brings change, tempered with wise judgment and good taste.

Life can be so surreal sometimes.
While at Eslite looking for a new book today, I picked up Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers And Sons. I’d been hoping to read it ever since I took the Introduction to Russian Literature class with Professor Michael Henry Heim, a noted translator, during the first quarter of my freshman year at UCLA. That class changed my life.
I adored Professor Heim; he remains my favourite UCLA professor to this day. His lectures – the topics, the structure, the way he spoke – somehow put into words all the reasons I loved literature, expressed in a way I wasn’t able to my perception of the world and the role of literature in it.
I kept in contact with Professor Heim during my freshmen year, sometimes visiting him in office hours. We weren’t super close, but I remember him clearly and fondly, often seeing him walking around campus with his raggedy backpack filled with books. Professor Heim died of melanoma in 2012, when I was in my third-year. I had no idea he was sick.
Fathers and Sons was on the top of a list of recommended books Professor Heim gave us after the quarter was over, which was why I had wanted to buy it in the first place. And I almost did today, until I realized that I had no idea which translation to buy. I thought of Professor Heim then and wished he were still here so I could ask him.
Instead, I bought a beautiful paperback copy of Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being, without thinking twice about checking the translation as I was in a rush and sold by its beautiful cover. When I got home, I re-read a few of Professor Heim’s obituaries in the L.A. Times, the Daily Bruin, and I see this sentence in the New York Times‘ obituary:
He was known in particular for his translations of Mr. Kundera’s novels, including the original English-language editions of “The Book of Laughter and Forgetting” (1980) and “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” (1984), which became a best seller in the United States.
I rush over to my newly-bought The Unbearable Lightness of Being book, flip it open, and what do you know?

About William Francis
Prior to the birth of his daughter, William began journaling as a reprieve from the anxiety he felt towards the idea of his daughter arriving prematurely to an “irresponsible” dad. But when Abby was born, it was clear it would be William’s childish spirit that would build the foundation of their uniquely imaginative relationship.
He did as all parents do and read to his child and as she grew, so did her imagination. While Abby would recount tales of her expeditions, William would write them down and when little Nathan was born, and it became somewhat of an ongoing family tradition for the kids to sit and dream up stories for their father’s amusement. The three of them would pitch a tent in the living room, get out their sleeping bags and write out their stories. Some were silly, some were incomplete and some of the favorites became the inspiration for Ankle Biter Publishing Inc.
We hope you grow to love and cherish them and make them your own.
William resides with his wife and kids in Calgary, Alberta.
