Notebook: A wasted week for Faxon and Parnevik
Alternates Brad Faxon and Jesper Parnevik hung around Royal Liverpool for days, but are heading home disappointed. Plus, Ian Poulter makes another fashion statement, Fred Couples calculates his finances, and more.
HOYLAKE, England -- Jesper Parnevik and Brad Faxon mingled outside the Royal Liverpool clubhouse at dawn Thursday morning, looking like two guys who were the first to arrive with hopes of getting a tee time.
That's exactly what was on the line at the Open Championship, and both left disappointed.
They were the first two alternates, needing players to withdraw to get one of the 156 spots in the field. After waiting for nearly 11 hours until the last group went off, they packed their bags and headed home.
Parnevik interrupted a vacation in Sweden when he learned he was first alternate. Faxon was sixth in line, but figuring the others wouldn't show up, he flew Monday from Rhode Island and took his chances.
"I thought he'd still get in," Faxon said of Parnevik. "I think he did, too."
Faxon warmed up in the morning, then headed to the range again to take a nap in the Titleist trailer. His only hopes of players pulling out were Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer because of their bad backs. There were doubts about Seve Ballesteros, but he went off early and shot 74.
Compounding the disappointment for Faxon was finding a flight home Friday.
"Everything is sold out," he said. "I'm going to have to check around with other airports."
Faxon recalled being first alternate in the 1986 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, and two guys who were injured tried to play and later withdrew. He wound up going to the Providence Classic, which he won.
"Maybe this will bode well," he said. "Something good will come out of this."
Faxon lost his chance to play first by having a pedestrian year that caused him to slip in the rankings. Then, the U.S. qualifier at Congressional Country Club was washed out, and he didn't get a chance to qualify.
He likes the idea of the Open expanding its criteria to get a stronger, more diverse field. But he questioned criteria that allow the top finishers from the last three PGA Tour events to qualify -- Hunter Mahan (tied for second in Hartford), Mathew Goggin (tied for second at the Western Open) and John Deere Classic winner John Senden.
"I still don't think the qualifying procedure is perfect," he said. "Why doesn't winning a tournament get you in, but finishing fourth does?"
Faxon won the Buick Championship at Hartford last year.
FASHION STATEMENT: About the only distraction Seve Ballesteros faced Thursday was playing with Ian Poulter of England, who wore bright red pants with sequins down each side and a logo of the claret jug on each leg.
Ballesteros, ever the traditionalist, wore a white shirt with dark pants.
"Something different," Ballesteros said. "He looks to me like a Spanish matador. But he should not be in red, because the bull always goes for red."
Poulter certainly didn't find red numbers on the scoreboard. He wound up one shot behind Ballesteros, at 3-over 75.
And the gallery didn't think much of his wardrobe, either.
"Oh my God, look at what he's wearing!" a female fan blurted out as Poulter walked toward the third green. "Isn't that ridiculous? Elvis lives!"
RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT: Fred Couples is a fan of Royal Liverpool, and he couldn't figure out why the R&A waited 39 years to bring the Open back to the course. Someone told him the layoff was due mainly to the infrastructure.
"I guess so," Couples said. "I mean, I'm paying 14,000 pounds [about $25,000] for my house this week, so they must have known we were coming. They had a few years to prepare for this week."
CLARKE'S DETOUR: Darren Clarke stepped up to the fourth tee box, and pulled out his putter.
When Clarke yanked his second shot at the third hole far left of the green, the ball wound up on the tee for the next hole. He considered chipping toward the flag, then decided the putter was the best way to get through a patch of beaten-down rough between the tee and the green.
Only one problem: there was a red power cord running between the two holes. So he pulled that out of the way, and finally got down to a most unusual putt.
Unfortunately for Clarke, he didn't swing hard enough to get the ball through the rough, up a ridge and onto the green. He wound up making bogey, one of his few mistakes on the way to a 3-under 69 that left him only three shots off the lead.
WELCOME BOOST: Lee Westwood gave his Ryder Cup chances a welcome boost with a 69 in the first round of the Open at Hoylake.
Westwood is down in 33rd position on the European points list, with only 10 players qualifying automatically for Ian Woosnam's team to defend the trophy at the K Club in September. Just six weeks remain after the Open before the team is finalized, but with more than a million points on offer to the winner at Royal Liverpool, Westwood cannot be counted out.
"I've been lacking confidence," admitted the 33-year-old Englishman. "From the Masters until three weeks ago I'd missed seven cuts in a row and been making a mess of it on the greens. A 69 is a lot better mentally than 70-odd and I made the most of the par 5s; that's where you make the most of your score.
"It's a tricky golf course, it's not easy. I couldn't see where some people were talking about record scoring," he added. "I would think between 12- and 15-under would be right there at the end of the week. You can tuck the pins away round here."
DANGEROUS DRIVER: England's Luke Donald accepted that the main strength of his game -- driving it straight -- deserted him on the opening day of the Open after carding a 2-over 74. The 28-year-old struggled off the tee and finished seven shots behind leader Greg Owen.
"I drove it in about every bunker I could drive it in I think and those are the hazards you can't afford to go in and I found too many of them," said the Ryder Cup star. "It was a frustrating day. Today was a great chance to post a low number and I didn't take advantage of it.
"I had a three-putt at the third from the front of the green, and then I played five horribly and was 2-over through five and already struggling," he explained. "It seemed every time I make a birdie, the next hole I drove in a bunker and gave it right back.
"I'm disappointed because you look at the scores and everyone seems to be playing well today," he said. "But at 2-over, I have still got a good chance to get back into it."
UNSTEADY START: Welsh veteran Stephen Dodd offered no excuses after beginning his Open Championship campaign with a disappointing 1-over 73.
The 40-year-old Welshman had a double-bogey on the second hole, and dropped further shots at the seventh and ninth holes. But birdies at four, 10 and 14 meant he avoided a disastrous round.
"I just played badly. It is simple as that. I do not know what went wrong," he said. "Nerves were not a factor as I have the experience of playing in big events. You always want to do well but sometimes you just have to get on with it."
FRASER FIGHTS HIS AWE: Marcus Fraser briefly owned the early lead on Thursday after posting a 4-under 68 despite admitting to being overawed at mixing it with the great and good.
The Australian missed the cut last year at St. Andrews when he made Open debut. However, he went some way to making amends this year by chalking up six birdies and two bogeys in his first round at Royal Liverpool.
"I almost forgot about playing golf for the week at St. Andrews, as I had my mum and dad as well as friends there," he said. "I was a bit overawed by it all and still am. But it is now under control. I am happy with the way things are going. I am playing well and looking forward to tomorrow."
RUING HIS RESULTS: Paul Casey, second on the European Tour Order of Merit, knew he had missed a chance to make his presence felt when he began the Open with only a level-par 72.
As one of the early starters, Casey had the best of the conditions, but he failed to build on an opening 25-foot birdie. Two three-putt bogeys quickly followed.
"I've got some work to do," he said. "It was a bit of a grind, I didn't hit the ball great, the greens were difficult to read and I didn't roll the ball particularly well."
AMATEUR HOUR: Norway's Marius Thorp leads the race for the silver medal awarded to the leading amateur at the Open. Thorp, who qualified for Hoylake by winning the European Amateur title last year, carded an excellent first round of 1-under 71 despite two double-bogeys.
The 18-year-old is one shot ahead of France's Julien Guerrier, the 21-year-old British Amateur champion recording a 72 with two birdies and two bogeys. Italian Edoardo Molinari, the current U.S. Amateur champion, fired a 1-over 73 that was one better than playing partner and Ryder Cup star Luke Donald.
England's Danny Denison, who played a practice round with Nick Faldo on Tuesday, could only manage a 6-over 78. The 21-year-old from Leeds was 8-over after 12 holes but finished well with birdies at the 16th and 18th.
DIVOTS: Tom Lehman and Graeme McDowell were the only players who did not make a bogey in the first round. ... U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy birdied the last hole for a 1-under 71. ... Davis Love III is 11th in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings and sure didn't do himself any favors Thursday, opening with a 75 that could send him home early for the second straight major. ... Jarrod Lyle, diagnosed with leukemia seven years ago, shot 74.

The world's top silver miner Fresnillo declared 2008 to be a milestone year for the company with an all-time high of 34.8 million ounces of silver production, and forecast that this year's production will be in line with last year's totals.
Attributable 2008 gold production was also in line with expectations at 263,000 ounces of gold with this year's production expected to match last year's total.
However, Fresnillo cautioned that in light of the difficult market conditions in 2009, we will focus on critical capex and intermediate and advanced exploration projects only. Nevertheless, the London-based miner declared, We are in a strong position to pursue acquisition opportunities of high quality assets to boost our rate of growth.
Meanwhile, Fresnillo said the company anticipates significant decreases in the prices of some keys, such as explosives, steel balls and reagents during 2009, which will benefit the company's production costs.
Notwithstanding our solid financial position, Fresnillo plc continues with its cost control programme which is expected to help preserve margins even in the current macroeconomic environment, the company said.
In addition, given the magnitude of the global financial crisis, the Mexican Government is putting in place a series of measures aimed at mitigating the adverse effects on industrial production. Specifically, electrical rates will be reduced between 7 to 20 percent. As energy is one of the key components of the company's production costs, these initiatives will further support our efforts to protect our profitability levels.
Fresnillo has taken a number operational efficiency measures to manage costs more effectively and enhance operating performance. Octavio Alvidrez, head of investor relations for the company, told Reuters that 2009 capex was being reduced by about $25 million to $285 million.
Whilst we remain positive on the evolution of precious metals prices, the global economic slowdown will represent a challenge to the mining industry in 2009, the company said. Containing costs and improving performance will continue to be the priority for Fresnillo.
The company forecast that this year's production at the Fresnillo and Ciénega mines, both in Mexico, will be in line with 2008 production, while Herradura, also in Mexico, is expected to gain a 6% increase over last year's production.
Fresnillo stressed the company intends to maintain its position as the world's largest primary silver producer with the aim of approximately doubling production, on a silver equivalent ounce basis, within the next ten years and increasing its gold production.

This weekend, Northern Arizona University opened the doors of its Rolle Activity Center to host a two-day event providing free dental care to hundreds of northern Arizona community members. Working 12-hour days on June 7 and 8, volunteers treated patients with dental issues small and large. The university partnered with the Arizona Dental Mission of Mercy (AZ MOM) and a number of local sponsors to create an event that brought the community together, helped neighbors in need and provided NAU students an invaluable learning opportunity.
For the event, Rolle Activity Center was transformed into a 50-chair dental clinic. Treatments included fillings, cleanings, extractions, root canals, X-rays and denture fittings. All members of the community in need of dental care were welcome without restriction or prior qualifications, and patients were not screened for insurance status, income level or residency status.
The CDAS Foundation reported:
- 616 patients served
- $650,000 in free dental services (approximately)
- $1,055 in free dental services per patient, on average
- 57 crowns
- 68 dentures
- 30 root canals
- 568 extracted teeth
Student volunteers were involved at every level, getting hands-on experience working with patients in a supervised, real-life setting. In addition to dental hygiene students, nursing students performed health assessments on patients checking in and physical therapy students screened patients for temporomandibular disorder, a pain in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement.
“We are modeling interprofessional practice, which is the wave of the future,” said Lynda Ransdell, dean of the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS). “The most effective patient care is now done in an interprofessional setting whereby the whole patient is treated based on their overall health. Clinicians from a variety of disciplines gather together to discuss optimal and holistic treatment.”
It’s not just CHHS that helped out, either. Along with the dental hygiene department and the College of Nursing, NAU PD, parking services, facility services and ITS all had leadership roles in planning and implementing this monumental task.
The idea to bring AZ MOM, a central Arizona-based organization, north started with President Rita Cheng. She’d heard of the dental events in Phoenix and thought the people of northern Arizona could benefit from the same type of care. Cheng brought Ransdell and dental hygiene chair Tracye Moore on board to figure out how NAU could make this happen for the Flagstaff community. The group saw the significant need for dental care in the area, Ransdell said, as well as the expansive community of dentists and dental hygienists willing to help provide just that.
“A new smile allows these patients to get a job, interact with friends and family again and no longer be in pain,” Cheng said. “Thank you to the hundreds of dentists and other community members who volunteer for this and other events thought the year.”
The result of the community’s collective efforts was the first AZ MOM North dental event taking place on the NAU campus, coordinated by assistant clinical professor of dental hygiene Amy Smith. On the planning committee with Smith were dental hygienists and NAU alumnae Kim Freeman and Jenny Garcia, who also is an adjunct dental hygiene instructor. Among several community partners were the Central Arizona Dental Society Foundation, which helped NAU with organization and implementation, and the Arizona Dental Association and Northern Arizona Dental Society, which offered consultation.
“This event provided a wonderful opportunity for the community to work together to provide dental care, which is linked to many other aspects of physical health,” Ransdell said. “Our students were volunteers and learned about giving back to the community and the powerful impact that can have.”

Manchester City star Raheem Sterling is one of the most sought after players in the English Premier League. In addition to this, he is a proud dad to three children. Here's a look into his role as a father.
Raheem Sterling is best known for his impressive skills as a midfielder for the English football club Manchester City. However, outside of his career, the 25-year-old is a proud family man with three beautiful kids.
Sterling is a father to nine-year-old daughter Melody Rose whom he welcomed with his ex-girlfriend, Melissa Clarke, in 2012. The forward is also a dad to sons, Thiago, four, and two-year-old Thai, whom he shares with his current partner, Paige Milan.

BEHIND THE SCENES
When Sterling is not showing off his skills on the football pitch, he enjoys sharing precious moments with his kids on social media. In August last year, Sterling posted a photo of himself hanging out with his sons on a boat.
While the proud father held Thai in his hands, Thiago adorably stood next to his dad as they posed. Captioning the image, he wrote:
"Rich in Love."
Last year, when Sterling's daughter, Melody Rose, turned eight, and as expected, the footballer spared no words in showing the world just how much his little girl means to him.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a post featuring two pictures of Melody donning a colorful printed two-piece outfit. In the first slide, the father-daughter duo smiled while striking a pose for the camera.
The second slide featured a solo photo of Melody flashing an adorable smile while standing in front of a cute birthday cake. Sterling accompanied the images with a caption wishing Melody a happy birthday, adding that the little girl has single-handedly changed his life.
LIFE AS A DAD
Sterling is fully dedicated to being a great father to his kids. Last year, he opened up about his life as a father, noting that he tries to give his kids the love he did not get as a child.
Soon his talent was discovered by the Liverpool football academy, which signed him at the age of 15.
He lost his father when he was only two, and without a doubt, this had a huge impact on his life. However, despite all of this, Sterling is hell-bent on giving his children the life he did not get as a child. Safe to say, he is well on his way.
LIFE WITH PAIGE
In a previous interview, the father-of-three said, “Having my own kids, I make sure I give them that love from the father figure that I didn’t have. And I think that’s probably helped me feel better as well.”
Luckily, he does not have to go through parenthood alone as his fiance and the mother of his kids Thiago and Thai, Paige Milian. The couple first met as teenagers and now live together in the athlete's Cheshire home.
LIFE AS AN ATHLETE
While balancing time with his kids and fiancee, Sterling remains a dedicated athlete, inspiring people around the globe. His career began at a young age and progressed with the help of his coaches, mentors, and family.
Soon his talent was discovered by the Liverpool football academy, which signed him at the age of 15. His mentors saw, not only talent, but hunger for success and humility in the boy, making him the perfect mentee.
Although Sterling’s story, bother personal and career-wise, was not one filled with roses, it brought him to the right path with the right people who support him.


The 99th annual Vancouver International Auto Show got underway at the Vancouver Convention Centre West yesterday afternoon, and runs until Sunday March 24th. Here are a few favourite cars on display at this year’s event.
This track-bred, road-legal hypercar — named after F1 legend Ayrton Senna — is limited to just 500 units worldwide. Aside from the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 lurking under the hood, producing 789 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, the Senna is also highlighted by its massive carbon fibre front splitter and layered rear wing that help the car achieve massive amounts of downforce and traction. And as if the signature dihedral doors aren’t flashy enough, owners can add available Gorilla Glass apertures in the centre so everyone can enjoy a glimpse of the matching carbon fibre monocoque.
Lincoln is getting set for the 2020 Lincoln Aviator to hit showrooms in the summer. First teased at the New York Auto Show last year, there’s no denying the three-row luxury crossover looks slick featuring a metallic grille, made up of tiny Lincoln logos, and aviation-inspired wraparound windshield and aerodynamic bodylines. The surprising news is that the bi-turbo engine will have a plug-in hybrid option, which in addition boosted performance and better fuel economy will provide the brand’s quietest drive to date. And don’t worry about carrying around the key — the SUV can be unlocked and operated all using a smartphone and the Lincoln Way app.
GMC Sierra Denali
In the premium truck segment GMC is setting the bar mighty high with the redesigned 2019 GMC Sierra Denali. Sitting at the top of the food chain, the Denali adds to the sculpted pickup an exclusive chrome mesh grille, unique badging and up to 22-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels. Debuting is a MultiPro Tailgate, boasting not one, not two, but six different positions to suit various jobs. Set it to step entry mode for easy access to the bed, or flip it up into a standing workstation when duty calls on the road. Customers can choose from six different engines, the most powerful being the 6.2-litre V8 making 420 horses and 460 lb-ft of torque.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Finalist for the 2019 Automobile Journalists Association of Canada Green Utility Vehicle of the Year Award (phew), the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV also holds the title for Canada’s best selling plug-in hybrid SUV. There’s a lot of technology going on under the bodywork, like two battery-powered 80-horsepower electric motors mounted to the front and rear axles, bolstered by a 117-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder internal combustion engine (ICE). The former works in tandem to provide instant-on four-wheel drive for maximum traction in virtually all conditions. The PHEV is capable of travelling 35 kilometres without using any gasoline, and when the ICE does engage, fuel consumption is rated at 9.2 L/100 km.

10th Summer Neurolinguistics School
HSE Researchers Identified the Age-Related Changes in Gamma-Band Oscillations in Auditory Cortex in Children
Researchers from the HSE Center for Language and Brain have identified previously unknown age-related changes in brain activity during the perception of auditory information in a group of children aged 7–12 years. The researchers used magnetoencephalography (MEG), an ultra-precise method of brain activity recording. The results obtained can be used to explore the impairments in language comprehension in children with autism. The study was published in the Human Brain Mapping.
Vardan Arutiunian has published a paper in Human Brain Mapping that touches on the age-related changes of gamma oscillations in the auditory cortex of primary-school-aged typically developing children.

The US is one of the most attractive destinations today for ambitious recruiters seeking to make their mark. With a rapidly expanding staffing market, there are abundant opportunities for life-changing success. Nevertheless moving abroad to a new country and culture, even an English-speaking one, can be an intimidating idea. So here's what America has to offer:
On average, Americans have twice the living space of Europeans. With some notable, New York-shaped exceptions, cities in the US are much less dense than here, meaning you don’t have to make the choice between space and affordability. The same rent for a charming-yet-cramped Notting Hill flat would net you this palatial Austin residence, for example.
America has an incredibly diverse range of nature attractions, including 58 national parks. From the awe of the Grand Canyon to skiing in the Rocky Mountains to the Niagra Falls, there’s something for everyone. And for those willing to go further afield, Hawaii’s volcanoes and lush island scenery are an attractive destination, while Alaskan breath-taking landscapes and untamed natural beauty offer another option for more intrepid travellers.
A welcoming environment
The US has long been known as the land of big smiles and courteous service. Recent orange aberrations aside, it is also a nation of immigrants, with a well-established tradition of providing opportunities for hard-working individuals to succeed. Plus, the American affinity for a British accent is sure to provide you with newfound charm abilities!
A smooth transition
Moving to a new country can be a daunting prospect. The booming American staffing market represents an enormous opportunity for skilled British recruiters, but trepidation over a move and the administrative and logistical hurdles is perfectly natural. That’s why Camino Partners works with some of the best brands in the US for relocation support, providing experienced help and advice to ensure a stress-free move.
And don't forget…
The international Banana museum in Mecca, California, featuring 25,000 banana-related items and holding a Guinness World Record for the largest museum dedicated to a single fruit.

I was in the area for a workshop. I wanted above all a quiet, CLEAN, secure place, located near Highway 101 (but not too close) and of course not expensive which is not easy in this area.
The North Bay Inn is a simple, traditional motel that met my requirements. The lady at the reception was really nice and that contributed to my feeling of security and well being. The room was spotless clean with every item in good order and well maintained. The bed is comfortable, the linen spotless clean, the shower is not the prickly flow but generous, the refrigerator is noiseless. There is a microwave.
I spent 2 nights and brought all my food for breakfast, the workshop and the evening dinner in the room. I give it top rating in its class. This is a place that is practical, affordable (given the area) and an excellent choice for my specific purpose.
The motel breakfast is minimal: a pot of coffee, hot water and tea bags, packaged industrial pastries. There is milk in the "staff only" fridge. Note that there is a Starbuck and a Peets coffe on Mendocino avenue towards Highway 101 past Steel Lane. Also the place is quiet as it seems that the people who come to this motel are well behaved.
The non-smoking rooms are truly non-smoking and fresh. As an incentive to keep them this way there is a penalty of $200 for those who smoke in a non-smoking room. You cannot go wrong if your priorities are similar to mine.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Travel Republic (UK), Hotels.com, Expedia, Ebookers, TripOnline SA, HotelsClick, getaroom.com, Cancelon and 5viajes2012 S.L. so you can book your North Bay Inn reservations with confidence.

In that last few years, the evangelical church has been rocked by a series of appalling abuse scandals. The latest news centres around the 146-page independent report published yesterday, which details the repeated abuse committed by former Vicar of Emmanuel Church Wimbledon Jonathan Fletcher. The report describes how Fletcher used psychological and spiritual manipulation to abuse young men under his pastoral care, leading to “coercion and control, bullying,… naked massages and saunas, forfeits including smacking with a gym shoe, and ice baths... One participant reported that JF told him to perform a sex act in front of him and when he did not, JF performed the act instead.”(1)
This grim report comes in the wake of another independent investigation released last month which documented the sustained sexually abusive behaviour of the late apologist Ravi Zacharias. It details how Zacharias used his authority, status, power and wealth to repeatedly sexually exploit and abuse female massage therapists. Here is one of many examples from the report: “one therapist reported that Mr. Zacharias spent the first half of their first massage session asking about her spiritual journey and prior abuse. This set her at ease and made her feel that he cared for her as a person before he later asked her to massage his genitals.”(2)
Sadly these are only two out of several huge abuse scandals that have been recently uncovered in the Evangelical Church. In February 2017, a Channel 4 investigation exposed harrowing acts of violent abuse of public schoolboys by the late evangelist and lawyer John Smyth(3). And in February 2020 the CEO of Acts 29 Ministries and elder in Crowded House Church Steve Timmis was removed over multiple reports of bullying, intimidation and spiritual abuse(4).
These scandals are sickening, and must make all of us in the Evangelical Church think seriously and carefully about the changes that clearly must be made to identify and reform the environments in which these abusive behaviours were allowed to fester. We must be unequivocal, for the sake of the victims of abuse, and for the repute of the name of Jesus- things have to change.
So what can be done to prevent another Fletcher or Zacharias?
Clearly there is much to be said, and it would be naive to look for a single simple fix. But one of the most important things that I think is worth considering is the role of power imbalances in abuse. One of the common factors amongst all of the above scandals is that the abusers held positions of spiritual authority and leadership over their victims. In an interview with evangelist Glenn Scrivener, Lori-Anne Thompson, who was the first brave victim of Zacharias to come forward publicly (and who was subsequently publicly disgraced by Zacharias, RZIM and the Church at large), compared the power imbalance of the pastor-disciple relationship to the doctor-patient relationship:
“We go into a doctor’s office and the doctor has the role of caring for your physical body. And so the doctor may hand you a garment and say ‘Disrobe’. And without question, what do we do? We just disrobe. We take off all of our clothing and we put on the medical garment. And then we lie down and we are assessed based on the fiduciary duty. That’s what happens in a religious setting, where the religious professional says ‘Here’s a garment, put this on. Disrobe- let us look at your naked soul’. And so when a cleric sexualises that relationship, it is catastrophically traumatic.”(6)
I think Thompson is right; a big reason why the church appears to have been fertile soil for abuse is because the relationships between Christian leaders and their disciples involve large power imbalances which are in several ways akin to the doctor-patient relationship.
So can the Church learn from the medical profession when it comes to safe-guarding against abuse? Of course the medical profession has not been immune to abuse scandals. I recently read Rachel Denhollandar's amazing and harrowing autobiography "What Is a Little Girl Worth" which details the abuse and eventual prosecution of osteopath and serial child molester Larry Nassar within the US gymnastics world. Clearly abuse can and does sadly occur in the healthcare setting. However, in my opinion, it does seem like the UK medical system has built up a fairly robust and comprehensive system of safeguards and accountability structures that appear to have prevented abuse scandals on the scales of those uncovered in the Evangelical Church.
And so, for the remainder of this blog, I’d like to unpack four things that I think the Church can learn from the health profession when it comes to safe-guarding against abuse.
1. External Accountability Structures
The medical profession in the UK is regulated by a powerful legal governing body called the General Medical Council (GMC). The GMC has several powers, including the authority to strike a doctor off the medical register and thus bar them from practising medicine in the UK (temporarily or permanently). This can be done not only on competency grounds, but also on grounds of professionalism, character, integrity, and any other “fitness to practice” concern. I know one doctor who was called to a GMC “fitness to practice” hearing due to some offensive comments he had posted on Twitter. The rather intimidating power of the GMC over doctors is seared into the consciences of all UK clinicians.
I think the sheer legal power of the GMC and the respectful fear doctors have of the organisation is a significant deterrent against abuse. In the Church, there is nothing that I have come across that is comparable to the GMC. Perhaps these abuse scandals are showing us that there is a need for a new, independent, powerful, external, legal governing body for church ministers and leaders, that has the power to investigate church leaders and "strike off" those who are found to be abusing their power.
2. Internal Accountability Structures
In addition to the external governance of the GMC, the medical profession has clear internal accountability structures. All hospitals have systems through which staff can log concerns and untoward events, liaison services for patients to raise complaints, and staff teams solely tasked to look after junior staff education and well-being. In addition, when junior doctors start in new jobs, they expect to be told who they are accountable to, who they should escalate problems to, and who to go to if the problem is with the person they are accountable to. It is worth mentioning that the NHS has had problems with the silencing of whistle-blowers, which was one of the key issues identified by the Francis Report into the Mid Staffordshire Hospital Trust (7). However, it appears to me that there are still far more internal accountability structures in place in the NHS than in the Church.
I think we need proper, clear accountability structures in place within churches which include:
Publicly known channels in place for people to safely escalate concerns
Named individuals that congregation and team members can go to if their concerns are with their direct leader/ overseer.
An ergonomic, perhaps online, portal through which congregation members can raise any concerns and log untoward events, rather than leaders simply saying “contact our safeguarding team if you’re experiencing abuse”
3. A Detailed Rulebook
Another important aspect of accountability within the medical profession is a detailed and lengthy rulebook published by the GMC, called “Good Medical Practice” (plus appendices) which lays out the responsibilities and expectations of all clinicians. Doctors are expected to know this rulebook and are asked about it in exams. A substantial amount of Good Medical Practice is directed towards keeping patients safe in light of the power imbalance between doctors and patients. For example the guide dictates unequivocally:
You must not use your professional position to pursue a sexual or improper emotional relationship with a patient or someone close to them.
Trust is the foundation of the doctor-patient partnership. Patients should be able to trust that their doctor will behave professionally towards them during consultations and not see them as a potential sexual partner.
You must not end a professional relationship with a patient solely to pursue a personal relationship with them.(8)
These rules are hardly surprising or controversial. And yet when we move to the church context, I have encountered, on several occasions, church leaders pursuing romantic relationships across the leader-disciple power imbalance. On occasion, I have personally raised concerns over these only to have had them dismissed as unimportant.
I would argue that we need some sort of clear, detailed and written rulebook for Christian leaders within churches, and I personally would like that to include a clear prohibition of romantic pursuits between church leaders and those who are directly under their personal pastoral care.
4. Standardised Education on Responsibilities
Fourth and finally, doctors have standardised education which includes strong emphasis on moral responsibilities. The GMC sets educational requirements for medical schools, which includes a clear emphasis on the immense trust the public has in the medical profession, and the associated the high level of moral responsibility. This makes it into doctors' exams. Classic “situational judgement test” scenarios include things like:
A patient says your colleague examined their breast/ genitals, but there’s no documentation of this. What do you do?
Your consultant makes romantic advances on you/ your colleague. What do you do?
You find your colleague holding hands with a patient on the street. What do you do?
Thus, as part of standardised medical education, medical students and doctors are taught in detail about the responsibilities doctors have and how to hold their powers and responsibilities in ways that maximally safeguards patients, even in tricky ethical dilemmas. I would suggest that similar moral “situational judgement” components ought to be included in the training and examinations for church leaders
It worth saying here, that this necessarily means that church leaders should, in the main, have some sort of standardised training. Or to put it conversely, I am getting increasingly uneasy about the numbers of individuals being employed into Church pastoral leadership who have never had recognised standardised training. We all expect doctors to have gone to medical school. Why is it different for church ministers?
I think this is especially true for ministry to university students and young adults. One of the commonalities between all the abuse scandals mentioned in the first part of this blog is that almost all the victims fell into the “young adults” age bracket. Clearly young adults are particularly vulnerable to abuse, especially those who are away from parents for the first time, or those seeking mentorship and/or spiritual guidance from older Christians. If there is one specific area where we shouldn’t be employing pastoral leaders who have never had formal standardised training, I would argue it should be in ministry to students and young adults. And yet I reckon these are some of the most common ministries that are headed up by lay people in evangelical churches.
Now it is worth mentioning that I know and love many lay church leaders who do an excellent job, and obviously there are many formally trained leaders who commit abuse (including Fletcher, Timmis and Smyth). But I do think a review of theological education alongside an examination of the numbers of employed church pastoral leaders with no formal qualifications is important as we try to build a framework that prevents abuse in the church.
This is without doubt one of the most uncomfortable blogs I’ve ever written. I take no pleasure in criticising my own church family and denomination. But sadly, I think the church abuse scandals of recent years require this sort of radical and painful analysis of how church has gone so badly wrong. I think the medical profession has done reasonably well in building structural safeguards against abuse, although it is far from perfect. Thus I think the Church can learn a lot from the medical profession. The question is, are we willing to change?


COLUMBUS — After the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended pausing use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, the Ohio Department of Health has advised vaccine administrators in the state to do the same.
The pause comes as six “extremely rare” blood-clotting events were reported in people who received the J&J vaccine.
In a joint statement by Gov. Mike DeWine, ODH Director Stephanie McCloud and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, the ODH called for providers to “temporarily pause” the vaccine’s use while the blood clots are investigated.
“Officials with the Ohio Department of Health are following this situation closely,” a governor’s office spokesperson said in the statement.
The Governor and Ohio health leaders spoke about the announcement during an afternoon news conference.
The following announcements were made during today’s news conference:
- Gov. Mike DeWine said the pause of the Johnson & Johnson is to help the health community recognize, report and manage the issues with the severe blood clotting.
- In Ohio, 264,311 of the 4.16 million vaccinations started in the state are the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. That’s about 6.35 percent of the vaccinations given in the state.
- The mass vaccination site at Dayton Convention Center will be continuing vaccines with the Pfizer vaccine, DeWine said.
- Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff described the events that led to the pause of Johnson & Johnson vaccine as “truly rare events” and added that the FDA/CDC decision should give Ohioans confidence in the system that approves the vaccines for use. “That system works,” he said.
- DeWine said providers of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been asked to store the vaccines for the time being.
- The Governor said vaccine clinics at the Wilmington Air Park and at Miami University will be pausing vaccinations this week. The mass vaccination site at the Cintas Center at Xavier University in Cincinnati also will be pausing vaccines.
- “I have absolute confidence in it,” said Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine about three weeks ago. He said he’s not had any complications from his shot. “Vaccines are safe and effective. They work,” he said.
HOW LOCAL AGENCIES ARE REACTING:
Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County has announced it has paused registration for future Johnson & Johnson clinics and did not have anyone scheduled to received that vaccine today. Individuals who have previously made an appointment to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with Public Health, will receive further information via email or phone regarding their vaccination options.
Montgomery County had planned on giving about 5,200 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week.
The University of Dayton and Premier Health has cancelled its Johnson & Johnson clinic that was scheduled for Wednesday on campus until further notice.
“In consultation with our medical advisory panel and in light of the governor’s new advice to pause these vaccines, we are pausing their use for our campus community,” the university said. “The University and its medical advisory panel will continue to monitor developments in the CDC’s examination of six cases involving blood clots in the weeks following use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and advise you to do so as well.”
Wright State Physicians student health clinic also has paused vaccinating students with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at its weekly clinics across from campus. Instead, students are able to register for the two-dose Moderna vaccine.
Greene County Public Health has not been offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at its general clinics, however they had received a small shipment of the vaccine for a clinic at Wilberforce on Monday. Instead, Greene County will now use Moderna and Pfizer that they have available for the Wilberforce clinic.
Preble County Public Health said it is not impacted as they have not been scheduling anyone for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in over a month.
Kettering Health said none of its clinics are impacted by today’s announcement as they have not been giving the Johnson & Johnson shot.

Modified Fricke Flap for Lower Lid Reconstruction
Dr. Preeti Yadav | Dr. Pradeep Goil | Dr. Pranay Ahari
Abstract: Eyelids are the protective mechanism of the eyes. The upper and lower eyelids have been formed for their specific functions by the nature. Reconstruction techniques have evolved over time and excellent results can now be achieved with a combination of ingenious flaps. The modified Fricke?s cheek flap is a variation of classical Fricke flap, as it is designed over the cheek rather than the eyebrow. This prospective article will discuss the advantage of modified Fricke flap. Objective: to illustrate a simple and effective technique, for coverage of lower lid. Material and Method: A total 16 cases of lower lid defect were reconstructed using modified Fricke flap between September 2019 to December2021. Results: All patients recovered completely without any flap loss , however in knrrrsome patients secondary flap thinning was required. Conclusion: Modified Fricke?s flap is an easy-to-perform flap, smooth learning curve and often only possible option with acceptable aesthetic results. This procedure can be easily performed on an OPD and daycare basis and in elderly patients who already have skin laxity donor site can be closed easily. The use of this technique is associated with a low complication rate and morbidity.

Site record MDR23044 - Cellar or Passageway and Wall Foundation at Kedleston Hall, Kedleston
Type and Period (2)
- None recorded
Cellar or passageway and wall foundation at Kedleston Hall, Kedleston, probably of 18th century date. Evidence of a previously unknown cellar or passageway was recorded during a watching brief carried out in 2017. 'The cellar rood, which is not recorded on historic maps, was observed to extend from the western edge of the excavation to the northeast corner of the churchyard, where it was truncated by a drain. The roof is built of handmade, un-frogged bricks laid on edge as stretchers to form a segmental arch. The cellar / passage way below has been infilled, save for a 0.2m air pocket below the roof where the fill has settled. As the cellar roof does not extend beyond the drain it is not clear how far to the east the cellar roof would have extended. Directly to the west of the infilled cellar is a cellar passageway, on the same orientation, with a segmental arched ceiling still in use. This suggests the two cellars may originally have been connected. Also ascribed to this phase is wall footing. This lay to the east of the drain and was formed of mortared brick rubble, part of a mortared rubble raft probably associated with cellar construction. To the north [the] footing was truncated by [the[ drain. The sequence, representing the order of construction, between footing and cellar / passageway roof is unclear as the physical relationship between the two has been truncated by the insertion of [the] drain. No evidence was observed to confirm whether the cellar continued below wall footing or that he footing cut the cellar roof. This phase of construction probably dates to the late 18th century and is contemporary with, or built soon after, the reconstruction of the Hall and the excavation of cellars.' (1)

Manifesting the Unseen
Bringing together an international group of emerging Muslim women artists ‘Manifesting the Unseen’ invites the viewer to see the unseen, challenging their perceptions of Islam and Muslim women.
The exhibition which is based at Broadway Market in Hackney showcases the talents of 11 Muslim women artists whose works include Islamic geometry, illumination, calligraphy and photography.
Alongside the visual arts, and in keeping with the rich tradition of poetry in the Muslim world, ‘Manifesting the Unseen’ also invites a series of established and emerging women poets to construct a series of poems inspired by the artworks and performed at a recital as one of a series of events offered as part of the exhibition. The exhibition will also feature a panel discussion with the artists and a series of free workshops throughout the month offering the public the chance to learn about and practice Islamic geometry, painting, illumination and calligraphy.
Funded by the Arts Council England and with the assistance of crowdfunding ‘Manifesting the Unseen’ is the brainchild of exhibition curator and poet Nazia Mirza. She explains, “The idea for this exhibition came about following a discussion with friends on the invisibility of marginalised identities in public space and how for many in the West, Islamic art remains a hidden treasure.
We want to introduce new audiences to the rich tradition and heritage of art and poetry in the Muslim world and share its modern cultural expression both with other Muslims and the wider community.
We hope that by creating moments of shared cultural experience we can challenge and dismantle stereotypes about Muslim women and help people to appreciate the beauty in our heritage.”

Geneva, January 31 (KMS): In utter embarrassment for India as well as its unfounded claim on Jammu and Kashmir, the World Health Organization (WHO) has shown Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan and Arunachal Pradesh as part of China on the world map posted on its website.
Earlier, social networking site Twitter has also shown Jammu and Kashmir as a separate entity from India.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Dr Santanu Sen has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that the World Health Organization (WHO) that the World Health Organization’s map shows Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan and Arunachal Pradesh as part of China.
“When I clicked the site WHO Covid19.int, a world map was displayed, and when I zoomed into the portion of India, it showed a blue map with surprisingly two different colours for Jammu and Kashmir,” the MP wrote in his letter to PM Modi.
Sen said when he clicked over the blue portion, the map was showing him India’s data, but the other portion was showing Pakistan’s Covid-19 data.
The Trinamool Congress legislator also claimed that a portion of the state of Arunachal Pradesh was demarcated separately.
Calling it a serious international issue, the TMC MP said that the Indian government should have checked it and taken up the issue much earlier.
In 2021, Twitter represented India’s map, depicting Jammu and Kashmir as a separate country and large portions of Ladakh as China.
Just ten months ago, in October 2020, Twitter geo-tagged Leh as part of the People’s Republic of China.

This meal is the epitome of summer.
Every single ingredient is grilled and all of the veggies are currently in season. I even grilled the tortillas just for kicks.
Okay. Pardon me. I did not grill the limes.
To ensure a consistent + flavorful blend of spices I measured out what I typically use for taco night + mixed them all together.
Feel free to use this blend or make something even simpler.
Say, garlic + smoked paprika + cumin.
Or, chili powder + cumin + garlic + cayenne.
It’s all up to you.
I kept the salt + pepper out of this mixture, so I could add a light sprinkle to all of the veggies separately.
I went fairly light on the seasoning to really let these fresh summer veggies shine. But if you want a bolder flavor, then go right ahead.
Does this platter look familiar?
I just looked on the bottom and it was actually made in England and has a little drawing of a ram in the center. No clue what line this is from, but I’m in love with it! Any ideas?
I really just can’t get over this gigantic platter of grilled veggies + avocado. Hand me a fork and I’m good to go. I really don’t need much else.
Like I said up above even the corn tortillas hit the grill. I started with soft corn tortillas. However, if you don’t want the added steps, feel free to buy a pack of shells and you’re all set.
However #2, I recommend the grilling.
Because I’m obsessed with lime salted tortilla chips, I rubbed these babies down with lime, salt, and a little oil. A minute on each side on the grill and they were done. After folding them over and cooling they crisp right up while still maintaining a slightly chewy tortilla texture.
If you’re wondering how long it took for me to prep, cook, style, and shoot this recipe it was 1 hour and 45 minutes. The photo editing took 1.5 hours.. Then, writing the post took about 1.5 hours, with the most time spent on typing up the recipe.
How long did it take to eat three tacos for lunch?
About 8 minutes.
Try not to freak out by the length of the recipe instructions. If you’re a seasoned grill master, this recipe will be cake. If you’re new to grilling, I tried to be as clear + concise as possible.
Fresh Grilled Veggie Tacos
vegan, gluten-free // yields 12-15 stuffed corn tortillas, serves 4-6
- 2 avocados
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 3 medium zucchini [~7” long]
- 1, 8oz package baby portabella mushrooms
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 3 ears of corn
- 2 medium/large red onions
- 12-15 soft corn tortillas
- 2-3 limes
- sunflower/safflower/olive oil
- salt + pepper
Prep: Total prep time: 20 minutes
Keep your tortillas wrapped in a damp towel until ready to grill. Take out about 8-12 skewers depending on their length. If using wood skewers soak them in water while you’re prepping the veggies. Preheat your grill to medium/med-high, 400*. Prep the spice mix below.
Slice your zucchini in 1/2 round sections. Leave the peppers + tomatoes in tact. Gently wipe your mushrooms with a damp kitchen towel or paper towel and remove the stems. Shuck your corn. Cut the ends off your onions then slice into round slabs about 1/2-3/4” thick [refer to photo 5]. Slice your avocados in half lengthwise + de-pit right before grilling. Make sure your taco seasoning mix, oil, salt, and pepper are all handy.
Skewer the zucchini through their green ends and not through the soft center. Skewer the tomatoes lengthwise. Skewer the mushrooms through the center. [Refer to photo 4.]
Grilling: Total cook time: 20-25 minutes
Peppers – Lightly oil. Grill for 4 minutes per side, turning 4 times, keeping the pepper on its side.
Corn – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and the salt + pepper, then rub it into the corn. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning 4 times.
Zucchini – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and the salt + pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes, turning twice, flat side face down.
Onions – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on salt + pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, turning twice, flat side down. Flip with a spatula to keep the rings in tact.
Mushrooms – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and salt + pepper. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning twice.
Tomatoes – Lightly oil. Sprinkle on the spice mix below and salt + pepper. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning twice.
Avocado – Lightly oil. Sprinkle with salt + pepper. Grill for 4 minutes, flat side down.
Corn Tortillas – Towards the end of the veggie grilling, rub the corn tortillas with a light amount oil [on both sides], a few squeezes of lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt. With your grill lid open, grill for 60-90 seconds, flip once and grill for another 60-90 seconds. You want them just starting to stiffen but still pliable. Immediately fold them in half gently to form like a taco shell[don’t pinch them together]. Lean them on one another and let them sit for 2-3 minutes until they become stiff.
Slice the corn off the cob by standing it up on its end and slicing down over a cutting board. Coarsely chop the pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Serve mixed together in a large bowl or place each ingredient in a separate bowl and serve with the tortillas + grilled avocados. Fill with desired ingredients, and add more salt, pepper, or taco spice mix if desired. Serve with lime slices.
notes: When I say to lightly oil everything, my favorite way is by lightly spraying the veggies with oil from my Misto can. The next best way is using a sauce brush and dipping it in a bowl of oil then lightly coating. You can also use your hands to make sure it’s not too heavily coated.
Taco Spice Mix
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp coriander
- 1/4 tsp cayenne [optional]
In a small bowl mix all spices together and put in an empty spice jar to shake on the veggies or sprinkle on with your fingers.
If you want to taste summer in your mouth, make this recipe. If you feel like adding protein, just make sure you grill it.
What’s for dessert? Couldn’t be easier…
Grilled peaches + vanilla bean ice cream.
Done + done.
Weekend! Have a good one!

Thousands Show Up to Properly Send Off Texas Air Force Veteran
“Let’s show our respects to an American Veteran.”
On Saturday, Fuzzy blogged that a Texas cemetery asked the public to attend the funeral of Air Force veteran Joseph Walker out of concerns that no one will be there.
This shows the power of social media. It caught the attention of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and CNN’s Jake Tapper, who pleaded with people to attend the funeral.
Joseph Walker “served in the Air Force from September 1964 to September 1968, including service in the Vietnam War.” He died on November 19 at the age of 72 of natural causes.
Fox News reported that “his family contacted a funeral home in Austin to arrange for a funeral service but then could not be reached.”
Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery asked people to come to the funeral via Facebook.
From The Killeen Daily Herald:
An unaccompanied burial for Air Force veteran Joseph Walker drew a large crowd to the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery this morning, causing officials to delay the start of the ceremony by more than 20 minutes.
A crowd estimated at nearly 2,000 people clogged the roads to the cemetery, causing a traffic backup along State Highway 195.
Cemetery officials had offered the possibility last week that no one would be in attendance for the burial. The Veterans Land Board, which runs the cemetery, works with the local community and fellow veterans support groups to ensure that no veteran is left behind after they pass away.
The Wind Therapy Freedom Riders also attended. Member Luis Rodriguez said, “Let’s show our respects to an American Veteran.”
“This is absolutely the biggest and we want to thank the media. It’s the media that pushes it out real, real far because I was receiving calls from people all the way from Oregon,” said Douglas Gault, the chief on-site representative of the Texas State Veterans Cemetery program.
A KWTX reporter at the scene said the line to get into the cemetery was miles long and initial reports indicate some 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles were in the line.
Funeral services for unaccompanied veterans such as Walker aren’t unusual at the cemetery, but most are attended by only a handful of people.

Now this is America.
Its Flyover Country, anyway. Not sure about the coasts.
Why is it so dusty in my office? This makes all the silly political things seems so much smaller.Thanks for the story.
Awesome post, Mary! I cried when I saw reports of the huge turnout and thought, as Gremlin says above, that this is America, and that we can get bogged down by socio-cultural and political shenanigans and too easily lose sight of the fact that this country is chock full of amazing, patriotic, good-hearted, awesome people.
you helped build this, and for that, we thank you.
another great reason to love, cherish, and support Legal Insurrection.
Hey, it’s Texas. It’s what we do.
Yet one more reason to be proud of my state.
This sort of thing happens here in Flyover Country with some regularity. I’m not surprised it is infrequent to seaward of both the eastern and western coastal mountains. Saddened, yes … but not surprised.
dusty in here….
seriously this was awesome.
well done people.
I would like to believe, “this is Texas and that’s what we do”, but Cruz almost lost to a nanny skateboarding buffoon and we lost many congressional seats to the anti American left

Domestic violence is an endemic problem seen in every country, culture, and class. Fanpage.it conducted a social experiment in Italy, where they asked young boys to slap a girl. The idea was to bring out children’s reactions on the subject of violence against women.
According to ‘International Center for Research on Women’, 65% of surveyed Indian men think that women sometimes deserve to be beaten. So we decided to put some of the young Indian boys under a scanner and observe how would they react in a similar situation.
Although, no one should hit nobody, but it’s the need of the hour to teach our boys to respect girls.

The concept of a data mesh has gained traction in recent years as a way to enable data democratization and decentralization in organizations. A data mesh approach ideally calls for building a data fabric that provides a unified view of all data sources in an organization. The fabric serves as a foundation for the data mesh, enabling data teams to develop and operate their own data products and services independently. But how close are we to genuinely pulling this off?
Check out this episode of DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview Doug Kimball of OntoText, and Rex Ahlstrom of Syniti.

Fridays at the library are “Small Fry Fridays”. Tiny humans and their grown ups line up at the doors awaiting a morning filled with stories, maker crafts, snack and free play. It’s one of our more successful programs, as it combines several initiatives into one day full of activities for PreK kids and their families.
With the Picture Book Maker Craft Project well underway, I am trying to make more visible connections between the book read during story time, and the hands-on activity done during Mini Makers. This week, the kids read the book “They All Saw A Cat” by Brendan Wenzel. For those of you who aren’t as familiar with picture books, this book is ah-mazing. It explores how different animals all see the same thing, a cat, in very different ways. A child, a mouse, a dog, a bumblebee, a goldfish… all seeing a cat from different perspectives. I have plans to work with slightly older kids (k-2nd grade-ish), reading the story and exploring looking at something through different “lenses”, but with my mini maker crew, I changed the project a bit to fit my audience.
After reading the book with our partnering librarian Ms. Jan, the kids came to a table covered in construction paper and oil/chalk pastels. I simply asked them to draw a cat, highlighting the passage of the book “the cat walked through the world, whiskers ears and paws.” I really loved seeing how the grown ups helped their kids with the project, allowing them to interact with the materials, but continuing to ask “Where are the whiskers? Where are the paws?”
It seemed like a simple project, but I find that something really valuable happens when the hands-on exploration connects to the early literacy experience of listening to a book.
