WEST END ARTS | SAINT PAUL, MN: Minutes of September 3 WEA Meeting
Good attendance and much desire to socialize. Nance and Mary began the transition to new Coordinator by sharing the leadership role in this gathering. Deborah Padgett, Co-coordinator, butted into the business frequently to play the resident “control freak” and demand specific commitments, dates, times… that sort of thing. It was announced that the September WEST END ARTIST profiled in the Community Reporter is Michael Padgett. Copies of the paper were passed around and attendees urged to read it and further urged to put together profiles of their own work and send it to Nance Derby, via email at westendarts@fortroadfederation.org and to Jerry Rothstein, Editor The next order of business concerned the upcoming, October 10th Iron Pour coordinated by Marty Hicks in conjunction with David Thune. Marty will host a pre- iron pour workshop for WEA members on Thursday evening, 7 PM, September 17 at his studio, 2223 Stewart Ave, St. Paul, MN 55116, marty@hixwerx.com . Nance is making contact with provider of scratch tiles and she and Marty will negotiate costs for materials and participation on Friday when they meet with Dave Thune. Nance proposed getting Monroe Art School 8th graders involved in working with scratch tiles. She will follow up with the teacher there. Nance and Marty will also discuss the possibility of the work being displayed at Thune’s gallery. There was talk of potential permanent display on a garden gate next year. Paulette Meyers-Rich will contact John Yust to discuss possibility for display at Highbridge Park. It was reported that Dave Thune has committed to the Iron Pour every year he remains Council person. Marty and Nance will get back to people about cost for workshop and Iron Pour within the next couple of days. Iron Pour Schedule: As an item of FYI, Mary E. pointed out to attendees that if they are having difficulty viewing the WEA blog http://westendarts.blogspot.com/ they need only (and I paraphrase only slightly here) “fondle...
RR~Joining As One To Bring Them Home: The Irons Family & The Keno ...
As we enjoy our 4-day weekend holiday, may we also be in prayer for our families. May the Lord bless our gifts & allow them to be a blessing. He is the Father to the fatherless & He is moving in mighty ways for all our children. Thank you Lord, for each and every family heeding Your call on their lives. As a new mama to our Ukrainian blessing may I encourage every family to stay strong in your faith in the Lord...His hands are at work in each of our lives and in the lives of our children whom He destined for us long before time began. These are our children! He will provide! Clint and Heather are high school sweethearts who have been married for 9 years and have two energized boys ages 5 and 2.5 years old. Both boys have been begging for more siblings and would love to have a sister or two. Clint is a general manager for a pallet manufacture and Heather is a stay at home mom. They met as young kids when they both competed at horse shows during the summers. Clint and Heather dated for 7 years prior to getting married and with both being only children, they dreamed of having a large family. Heather has always known that adoption was the way she wanted to build her family. Her family teases that even as a very young child all of her bears and stuffed animals were adopted. Lucky for her Clint feels the same way and both are excited to start this adventure to bring their little one home. John and Mary Ellen Keno represent our very first CANADIAN family to adopt through our ministry! Most of Canada does not permit families to adopt children with life-long special needs, but British Colombia does, so this family is very special to us and we are so excited to have them! They will also be our first family to adopt from BULGARIA! They are hoping to adopt our little Valentin. The Kenos have been married for 23 years and God has blessed them with 7 beautiful children; three young adult daughters 22, 20 and 18 and four domestically (from Canada) adopted blessings 13, 8, 7,...
Local workers remember the past, look toward future
Wyoming's economy is strong, but not everyone at Monday's Labor Day picnic was resting easy with the November election looming.
"I'd like to see decisions and policies that are made with working people in mind," said Craig Thomas, of Iron Workers Local 454 and president of the Casper Building and Trades Council.
Casper and Wyoming haven't felt the national recession the way other states have, he said, and with a change in leadership, he hopes that the state won't ever have to suffer to the same degree.
He became an iron worker as a young man because he thought it would be a way to live self-sufficiently and "retire with dignity." At 53 years old, he thinks he will be able to retire with the dignity he hoped for and credits the unions for that security.
It's because of union workers that hundreds were able to gather at the Iron Workers Local 454 office on Monday, said Mary Ellen Renz, a representative for the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters. The picnic, sponsored by the Casper Area Trades and Labor Assembly and the Casper Building and Trades Council, was supposed to be in City Park but moved to the Iron Workers building because of rain.
Waiving her arms around a room full of retired, current and future workers, Renz said, "We forget these are the people that are collecting the pensions and that did the right thing so long ago."
It's people like H. Paul Johnson, she said.
Johnson joined the local carpenters union in Anchorage in 1952 and moved to Casper in 1955.
He started work on the Glendo Dam and in 1956 worked on the Dave Johnston Power Plant.
During the next several decades he oversaw dozens of strikes, moved to Portland, Ore., to be vice president of the International Carpenters Union and was president of the Wyoming AFL-CIO.
He worries, after 56 years as a member of the Carpenters Union, that while there's plenty of work in Wyoming, not enough of it is going to union workers.
