As an adult, she’s had guns waved in her face near Standing Rock, and felt their silent threat on the concealed-carry campus where she teaches. And she has always known that in this she is not alone.

In Carry, Jensen maps her personal experience onto the historical, exploring how history is lived in the body and redefining the language we use to speak about violence in America.

In the title chapter, Jensen connects the trauma of school shootings with her own experiences of racism and sexual assault on college campuses. In “Women in the Fracklands,” Jensen takes the reader inside Standing Rock during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests and bears witness to the peril faced by women in regions overcome by the fracking boom. In prose at once forensic and deeply emotional, Toni Jensen shows herself to be a brave new voice and a fearless witness to her own difficult history–as well as to the violent cultural landscape in which she finds her coordinates.

With each chapter, Carry reminds us that surviving in one’s country is not the same as surviving one’s country. National Best Seller Named one of TIME magazine’s ” Most Influential People” A TIME and Entertainment Weekly Best Book of So Far An illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a longtime friendship; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see the natural world Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she’s studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil.

Her first book is a revelatory treatise on plant life–but it is also so much more. Lab Girl is a book about work, love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren’s remarkable stories: about her childhood in rural Minnesota with an uncompromising mother and a father who encouraged hours of play in his classroom’s labs; about how she found a sanctuary in science, and learned to perform lab work done “with both the heart and the hands”; and about the inevitable disappointments, but also the triumphs and exhilarating discoveries, of scientific work.

Yet at the core of this book is the story of a relationship Jahren forged with a brilliant, wounded man named Bill, who becomes her lab partner and best friend. Their sometimes rogue adventures in science take them from the Midwest across the United States and back again, over the Atlantic to the ever-light skies of the North Pole and to tropical Hawaii, where she and her lab currently make their home.

Jahren’s probing look at plants, her astonishing tenacity of spirit, and her acute insights on nature enliven every page of this extraordinary book. Lab Girl opens your eyes to the beautiful, sophisticated mechanisms within every leaf, blade of grass, and flower petal. Here is an eloquent demonstration of what can happen when you find the stamina, passion, and sense of sacrifice needed to make a life out of what you truly love, as you discover along the way the person you were meant to be.

The Amazing Spider-Man. The Incredible Hulk. The Invincible Iron Man. Black Panther. These are just a few of the iconic superheroes to emerge from the mind of Stan Lee. From the mean streets of Depression-era New York City to recipient of the National Medal of Arts, Lee’s life has been almost as remarkable as the thrilling adventures he spun for decades. From millions of comic books fans of the s through billions of moviegoers around the globe, Stan Lee has touched more people than almost any person in the history of popular culture.

In Stan Lee: The Man behind Marvel, Bob Batchelor offers an eye-opening look at this iconic visionary, a man who created with talented artists many of history’s most legendary characters. In this energetic and entertaining biography, Batchelor explores how Lee capitalized on natural talent and hard work to become the editor of Marvel Comics as a teenager.

After toiling in the industry for decades, Lee threw caution to the wind and went for broke, co-creating the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, and others in a creative flurry that revolutionized comic books for generations of readers. Marvel superheroes became a central part of pop culture, from collecting comics to innovative merchandising, from superhero action figures to the ever-present Spider-Man lunchbox.

Batchelor examines many of Lee’s most beloved works, including the s comics that transformed Marvel from a second-rate company to a legendary publisher. This book reveals the risks Lee took to bring the characters to life and Lee’s tireless efforts to make comic books and superheroes part of mainstream culture for more than fifty years. Stan Lee: The Man behind Marvel not only reveals why Lee developed into such a central figure in American entertainment history, but brings to life the cultural significance of comic books and how the superhero genre reflects ideas central to the American experience.

Candid, authoritative, and utterly absorbing, this is a biography of a man who dreamed of one day writing the Great American Novel, but ended up doing so much more–changing American culture by creating new worlds and heroes that have entertained generations of readers. This fun, pocket-sized and practical guide is jam-packed with helpful tips on how to remember those all-important medical facts crucial to exam success and invaluable throughout the medical career.

The Science of College by Patricia S. Herzog; Casey T. Harris; Shauna A. Morimoto; Shane W. Barker; Jill G. Wheeler; A. Justin Barnum; Terrance L.

Boyd ISBN: The transition to adulthood is a complex process, and college is pivotal to this experience. The Science of College aids entering college students – and the people who support them – in navigating college successfully, with up-to-date recommendations based upon real student situations, soundsocial science research, and the collective experiences of faculty, lecturers, advisors, and student support staff.

The stories captured in this book highlight how the challenges that college students encounter vary in important ways based on demographics and social backgrounds. Despite these variedbackgrounds, all students are more likely to have successful college experiences if they invest in their communities.

Universities have many resources available, but as this book will show, students need to learn when to access which resources and how best to engage with people serving students. This includes having a better awareness of the different roles held by university faculty and staff, and navigating who to go to for what, based upon understanding their distinct sets of expertise and approaches to support. There is no single template for student success. Yet, this book highlights common issues that many students face and provides science-based advice for how to navigate college.

Each topic covered is geared towards the life stage that most college students are in: emerging adulthood. In addition tothe student-focused chapters, the book includes appendixes with activities for students, tips for parents, and methods information for faculty. Supplemental website materials suggest classroom activities for instructors who adopt this book within first-year seminars and general education courses.

College students facing their first illness, accident, or anxiety away from home often flip-flop between wanting to handle it themselves and wishing their parents could swoop in and fix everything. Advice from peers and “Dr. Google” can be questionable. The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook provides accurate, trustworthy, evidence-based medical information served with a dose of humor to reduce anxiety and stress and help set appropriate expectations for more than fifty common issues.

What if you can’t sleep well or can’t sleep at all in your dorm room? What if a pill “gets stuck” in your throat? What if your roommate falls asleep or passes out wearing contacts, and wakes up with one painfully stuck? Your friend’s terrible sore throat isn’t Strep or Mono? What else could it be? What if everyone from your group project thinks they’re coming down with the flu the day before your presentation?

Jill Grimes has the answer to these questions and many more. Her guidebook is designed to help you: Decide if and when to seek medical help Know what to expect when you get there Plan for the worst-case scenario if you don’t seek help Learn how you can prevent this in the future Realize what you can do right now, before you see a doctor Understand the diagnostic and treatment options The topics of tattoos, smoking, vaping, pot, piercings, and prescription drugs will also be tackled throughout the pages of this handbook, ensuring you, your roommates, and your friends have a healthy semester.

It took me into the hearts of women I could otherwise never know. I was transported. Spanning eras and generations, it tells of the lives of three unforgettable women: Miss May Belle, a wise healing woman; her precocious and observant daughter Rue, who is reluctant to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a midwife; and their master’s daughter Varina.

The secrets and bonds among these women and their community come to a head at the beginning of a war and at the birth of an accursed child, who sets the townspeople alight with fear and a spreading superstition that threatens their newly won, tenuous freedom. Magnificently written, brilliantly researched, richly imagined, Conjure Women moves back and forth in time to tell the haunting story of Rue, Varina, and May Belle, their passions and friendships, and the lengths they will go to save themselves and those they love.

Praise for Conjure Women “[A] haunting, promising debut. Through complex characters and bewitching prose, Atakora offers a stirring portrait of the power conferred between the enslaved women.

This powerful tale of moral ambiguity amid inarguable injustice stands with Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black. Atakora structures a plot with plenty of satisfying twists. Life in the immediate aftermath of slavery is powerfully rendered in this impressive first novel. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people.

Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.

A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down–a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists.

At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished village of Croix-des-Rosets to New York, to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti–to the women who first reared her.

What ensues is a passionate journey through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence, in a novel that bears witness to the traditions, suffering, and wisdom of an entire people. Making History Happen by Derrilyn E. Morrison ISBN: Engaging familiar themes and issues of time, language, and identity, the readings focus on Signifying moments in the works of the poets under discussion.

Reflecting on some of the ways that transnational women poets of the black diaspora are using tropes of mobility to create a renewed sense of identity and a sense of belonging to a communal network, the readings also demonstrate that the project of re-writing individual self-identity in light of one’s expanding consciousness or awareness of the other is more urgent, and more demandingly realistic, in contemporary poetry written by women poets who occupy transnational spaces.

In these works, re-memory becomes a process that transforms, the gathering of memory reflecting the interrelatedness of communal and individual subjective identities. Rankine’s poetry collections are used to close the discourse in this book, for the call they make. An intriguing crossing of genres, their structural use of time and space reflects the stylistic inventiveness that has become a hallmark of transnational poets of the black diaspora.

In its transformation of language, and of images that remain open-ended in their meanings, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely fuses poetry, dialogue, and prose with images from television and other forms of communication media to create a poetic collection that is relentless in its confrontation with the way we make cultural meanings.

The collection of essays in this book calls attention to an emerging poetic body of Caribbean writing in America that requires naming, for it is new. Beset by the forces of European colonialism, US imperialism, and neoliberalism, the people of the Antilles have had good reasons to band together politically and economically, yet not all Dominicans, Haitians, and Puerto Ricans have heeded the calls for collective action.

So what has determined whether Antillean solidarity movements fail or succeed? Our Caribbean Kin considers three key moments in the region’s history: the nineteenth century, when the antillanismo movement sought to throw off the yoke of colonial occupation; the s, at the height of the region’s struggles with US imperialism; and the past thirty years, as neoliberal economic and social policies have encroached upon the islands.

At each moment, the book demonstrates, specific tropes of brotherhood, marriage, and lineage have been mobilized to construct political kinship among Antilleans, while racist and xenophobic discourses have made it difficult for them to imagine themselves as part of one big family. Recognizing the wide array of contexts in which Antilleans learn to affirm or deny kinship, Reyes-Santos draws from a vast archive of media, including everything from canonical novels to political tracts, historical newspapers to online forums, sociological texts to local jokes.

Along the way, she uncovers the conflicts, secrets, and internal hierarchies that characterize kin relations among Antilleans, but she also discovers how they have used notions of kinship to create cohesion across differences.

Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider celebrates an influential voice in twentieth-century literature. Her prose is incisive, unflinching, and lyrical, reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope. This commemorative edition includes a new foreword by Lorde-scholar and poet Cheryl Clarke, who celebrates the ways in which Lorde’s philosophies resonate more than twenty years after they were first published.

These landmark writings are, in Lorde’s own words, a call to “never close our eyes to the terror, to the chaos which is Black which is creative which is female which is dark which is rejected which is messy which is. Based on true events–and narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS–Two Boys Kissing follows Harry and Craig, two seventeen-year-olds who are about to take part in a hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record.

While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teens dealing with universal questions of love, identity, and belonging.

It is phenomenal. There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this?

We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent–even from ourselves. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love.

Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice–the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances.

This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world’s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live.

It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member’s ability to bring her full self to the table. And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is.

Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get. Divulging the rich tradition of homosexuality in the arts from an unabashed perspective, Gay Art represents a unique effort in the art publishing market whose cultural relevance will ensure its success.

It is a scientific study led by Professor James Smalls who teaches art history in the prestigious University of Maryland, Baltimore. The author highlights the sensibility particular to homosexuals, and abandons all classical clichs and sociological approaches. This book examines the process of creation and allows one to comprehend the contribution of homosexuality to the evolution of emotional perception.

In a time when all barriers have been overcome, this analysis offers a new understanding of our civilisations masterpieces. Libby is the oldest child of six, going on seven, in a family that adheres to the “quiverfull” lifestyle: strict evangelical Christians who believe that they should have as many children as God allows because children are like arrows in the quiver of “God’s righteous warriors.

Zo and hir family are as far to the left ideologically as Libby’s family is to the right, and yet Libby and Zo, who are the same age, feel a connection that leads them to friendship–a friendship that seems doomed from the start because of their families’ differences.

Through deft storytelling, built upon extraordinary character development, author Watts offers a close examination of the contemporary compartmentalization of social interactions. The tensions that spring from their families’ cultural differences reflect the pointed conflicts found in today’s society, and illuminate a path for broader consideration. Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award — An achingly beautiful novel about grief and the enduring power of friendship.

Until you leave with only your phone, your wallet, and a picture of your mother. Marin hasn’t spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Not even her best friend Mabel. But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she’s tried to outrun.

Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit and Marin will be forced to face everything that’s been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart. This gorgeously crafted and achingly honest portrayal of grief will leave you urgent to reach across any distance to reconnect with the people you love. A quietly moving, potent novel. This is a perfect book. Beautifully written, heartfelt, and deeply real.

It explores sex, dating, relationships, puberty, and both physical and online safety. The issue today is not whether or not queer youth will get sex education; the issue is how and where they will gather information and whether or not the information they gather will be applicable, reliable, or exploitative. Equipping teens and their families with knowledge and self-confidence, this book provides the best protection against the unfortunate backlash that is sometimes encountered by those who grow up queer.

From internationally bestselling author Sarah Winman comes an unforgettable and heartbreaking novel celebrating love in all its forms, and the little moments that make up the life of one man. Sparsely written and achingly beautiful The most powerful take on love, loss and vulnerability I’ve read in years. But it’s not as simple as that. Ellis and Michael are twelve-year-old boys when they first become friends, and for a long time it is just the two of them, cycling the streets of Oxford, teaching themselves how to swim, discovering poetry, and dodging the fists of overbearing fathers.

And then one day this closest of friendships grows into something more. But then we fast-forward a decade or so, to find that Ellis is married to Annie, and Michael is nowhere in sight. Which leads to the question: What happened in the years between? With beautiful prose and characters that are so real they jump off the page, Tin Man is a love letter to human kindness and friendship, and to loss and living.

Her alienation grows when her mother is swept up into an evangelical church, replete with Christian salsa, abstinent young dancers, and baptisms for the dead. But there, Francisca also meets the magnetic Carmen: opinionated and charismatic, head of the youth group, and the pastor’s daughter. As her mother’s mental health deteriorates and her grandmother descends into alcoholism, Francisca falls more and more intensely in love with Carmen. To get closer to her, Francisca turns to Jesus to be saved, even as their relationship hurtles toward a shattering conclusion.

They are a merciless satirist in control of a pitch-perfect voice that makes an indisputable case for Spanglish as the perfect vehicle to express what we are really like right now.

Why are public toilets such a political issue? How has feminism changed the available gender roles — and for whom? In this unique illustrated guide, Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele travel through our shifting understandings of gender across time and space — from ideas about masculinity and femininity, to non-binary and trans genders, to intersecting experiences of gender, race, sexuality, class, disability and more.

Tackling current debates and tensions, which can divide communities and even cost lives, Barker and Scheele look to the past and the future to explore how we might all approach gender in more caring and celebratory ways.

At twenty-two, Fort had escaped Nashville’s debutante scene for a fresh start as a flight instructor in Hawaii. She and her student were in the middle of their lesson when the bombs began to fall, and they barely made it back to ground that morning.

Still, when the U. Army Air Forces put out a call for women pilots to aid the war effort, Fort was one of the first to respond. She became one of just over 1, women from across the nation to make it through the Army’s rigorous selection process and earn her silver wings. While not authorized to serve in combat, the WASP helped train male pilots for service abroad, and ferried bombers and pursuits across the country.

Thirty-eight WASP would not survive the war. But even taking into account these tragic losses, Love and Cochran’s social experiment seemed to be a resounding success–until, with the tides of war turning, Congress clipped the women’s wings.

The program was disbanded, the women sent home. But the bonds they’d forged never failed, and over the next few decades they came together to fight for recognition as the military veterans they were–and for their place in history. Israeli Nobel Laureate S. Agnon’s famous masterpiece, his novel Only Yesterday, here appears in English translation for the first time. Published in , the book tells a seemingly simple tale about a man who immigrates to Palestine with the Second Aliya–the several hundred idealists who returned between and to work the Hebrew soil as in Biblical times and revive Hebrew culture.

Only Yesterday quickly became recognized as a monumental work of world literature, but not only for its vivid historical reconstruction of Israel’s founding society. This epic novel also engages the reader in a fascinating network of meanings, contradictions, and paradoxes all leading to the question, what, if anything, controls human existence?

Seduced by Zionist slogans, young Isaac Kumer imagines the Land of Israel filled with the financial, social, and erotic opportunities that were denied him, the son of an impoverished shopkeeper, in Poland. Once there, he cannot find the agricultural work he anticipated. Instead Isaac happens upon house-painting jobs as he moves from secular, Zionist Jaffa, where the ideological fervor and sexual freedom are alien to him, to ultra-orthodox, anti-Zionist Jerusalem.

While some of his Zionist friends turn capitalist, becoming successful merchants, his own life remains adrift and impoverished in a land torn between idealism and practicality, a place that is at once homeland and diaspora.

Eventually he marries a religious woman in Jerusalem, after his worldly girlfriend in Jaffa rejects him. Led astray by circumstances, Isaac always ends up in the place opposite of where he wants to be, but why?

The text soars to Surrealist-Kafkaesque dimensions when, in a playful mode, Isaac drips paint on a stray dog, writing “Crazy Dog” on his back. Causing panic wherever he roams, the dog takes over the story, until, after enduring persecution for so long without “understanding” why, he really does go mad and bites Isaac. The dog has been interpreted as everything from the embodiment of Exile to a daemonic force, and becomes an unforgettable character in a book about the death of God, the deception of discourse, the power of suppressed eroticism, and the destiny of a people depicted in all its darkness and promise.

Wide-ranging and poignant reflections on literature, art, science, and memory. In this collection of essays, stories, and poems, award-winning poet and fiction writer Myra Sklarew traces a journey across the latter half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.

Her point of view is Jewish, though her subjects include science, exile, the future, the Holocaust, the remaining Jewish community of Morocco, Yiddish poetry, the visual arts, and teaching.

Many of these pieces deal with personal subjects—the search for a grandfather’s birthplace, the death of a mother, the profound effect of a teacher, the struggle of a woman to embrace Judaism.

Whether writing about medicine, Messiah, or the first speech of an infant, Sklarew’s work finds its roots in Judaism, a Judaism fashioned in large part by the author’s own hands. Ultimately, the book is about access, about following one’s own curiosity despite the obstacles that might appear along the way. And it is about a kind of belief: that nothing will be wasted, that all that we can learn will have a place in our lives eventually, though we may not know its purpose at the time.

The Second Scroll by A. Klein; Elizabeth A. The Second Scroll, the only novel by poet A. Klein, is an ambitious and complex work that interlaces prose, poetry, drama, and commentary. The narrative follows a Canadian Jew to the newly established state of Israel on a double mission – to collect the emerging national literature and to search for his Uncle Melech Davidson, a Holocaust survivor. Klein creates a modern Torah out of the uncle’s crises of faith as he attempts to come to terms with the atrocities of the Second World War.

The five chapters of The Second Scroll mirror the books of the Pentateuch the ‘first scroll’ and the language is rich with biblical, talmudic, kabbalistic, and literary allusions as both the narrator and his uncle wrestle with the meaning of Jewish identity, messianic faith, and homecoming.

Popham and Pollock’s scholarly edition re-creates the feel of the Knopf publication of now a collector’s item-but restores the text to Klein’s original vision. This includes echoing the architectural structure of the Sistine Chapel in the physical layout of ‘Gloss Gimel,’ Klein’s powerful commentary on Michelangelo’s famous ceiling. Extensive annotations, and appendices that cross-reference the finished book to the raw material gathered during the author’s trip to Israel and to the fund-raising speeches he delivered on his return, give the reader access to the process by which the novel took shape.

Klein, and of interest not only to Klein scholars, The Second Scroll marks the inception of Holocaust literature and holds a central place in the Canadian literary canon.

Award-winning videomaker, performance artist, and pop-culture provocateur Kip Fulbeck has captivated audiences worldwide with his mixture of highcomedy and personal narrative.

Early voting, which is underway in Minnesota, is a great option for people with disabilities. But many people still like to cast ballots in person, on the day of the election. Voters with disabilities can find assistance at the polls or bring a helper.

Be ready to follow specific rules. Bringing a helper? A family member, friend, neighbor, legal guardian or staff member from a residential facility can come along and help with voting. Let the election judges know that a helper is present as soon as the voter signs in. Make it clear that help is needed to fill out a ballot.

Having a candidate assist at the polls has been a controversial topic in Minnesota in recent years. A helper can assist in all parts of the voting process, including in the voting booth. The voter can show a ballot privately to an election judge to check that it is correctly marked. Helpers are also not allowed to tell others how someone voted.

Voters with disabilities can also use motor voting or curbside voting at a polling place. Have a helper go into the polls and request help. Two election judges, each from different parties, will come out and help with the ballot. This option of voting can also be used to register at the polls. Or it can be used to update voter registration, as registration materials can be brought to a waiting vehicle.

Ask for assistance at the polls. Election judges are there to help. An example of an update might be when someone moves withing an assisted living facility. The apartment number may be different and the voter still lives in the same precinct.

But that requires a new registration. Election judges are always available to help. Ask when signing in. Help with marking a ballot can be obtained from two election judges from different political more parties. Election judges can also help voters find a seated voting booth or place to fill out a ballot.

A precinct should have at least one voting booth where a person can vote using a chair or a wheelchair. Assistance can also be obtained by using a ballot marking machine. A simple way to provide such proof is to ask the facility staff to go along to the polls with the voter, and vouch for that person.

Vouching is when the staff swears that they personally know people who live in the facility. Any staff person can vouch for all eligible voters who are facility residents. However, staff must prove their employment with election officials. Methods of proof include showing an employee identification badge.

It is helpful for a facility to send a certified staff list to election officials in advance. The list must go to the county election office at least 20 days prior to the election.

If a company has facilities in different precincts, a form must be sent for each facility in each precinct. If staff work at multiple locations, they can appear on more than one list. If a staff list is taken directly to a polling place, it must be on facility letterhead, with the address. List the staff members who will take residents to vote. The letter must be signed and dated, and have the name as well as the title of the signer. It is then taken to the polling place. Elections coverage is provided in cooperation with Ramsey County Elections.

For others, it will offer opportunities for greater choice, flexibility and independence. Like PCA services, CFSS can get help with activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living and health-related tasks. Improvements of CFSS include greater flexibility and funding for technology and home and vehicle modifications that help to increase independence. Service amounts will be based on each. People receiving services will develop their own service delivery plan with help of a new consultation service.

The Consultation Service will assist individuals to make informed choices about their options and responsibilities within CFSS. From page 1 a safeguard against improper influence. Some voters may find themselves in a hospital or care center prior to an election. Local election officials send teams of election judges to these facilities during the 20 days before the election.

The judges distribute ballots to eligible residents of the facility and assist voters as needed. Only residents of the city or town where the facility is located can vote in this manner. Others must request absentee ballots from their home communities. Or a designated agent can deliver a ballot to the voter. What if the voter is living in a residential facility?

A voter can register online, fill out and send in a paper form, or go with a facility staff member to register in person during the election. Residential facilities can include group residential housing or group homes, assisted living facilities, nursing homes. From page 1 action. Workers at the state level has also been tied up with other work related to the pandemic.

The ability to have staff drive clients to appointments, shopping and on other needed trips was seen as a huge gain. Many people on the PCA program have been told in recent years that state law prevents staff from driving them anyway. During hearings during the session, people with disabilities and advocates emphasized the importance of the change,.

PCAs currently can go to the store and shop for their clients with a shopping list. They can accompany them using state-reimbursed, nonemergency medical transportation services. If a PCA does drive a client to a destination, the staffer must clock out for the time spent in transit, and clock back in once arriving at the destination.

As for CFSS itself, delays have been an issue since CFSS has been on the drawing boards for several years. The PCA program has served Minnesotans with disabilities for almost 50 years.

CFSS was presented as having varying impacts on the lives of people with disabilities. A overview by DHS staff indicated that the new program would mean little change in the daily lives on some people with. Receiving an award? Joining a board? Moving to new space? Winning a race? Filling a top post? Access Press welcomes submissions for the People and Places pages. Submissions are due by the 15th of each month.

They trigger grand mal seizures, headaches and nausea. They have been proven to be dangerous for the health of everyone. There are no medications for this type of epilepsy. Even anti-seizure medications on the market cause light sensitivity. I have reached out to senators, as well as Gov. Access Board. The people who have been elected or assigned to help those with disabilities seem to be turning a deaf ear to our pleas.

I am currently giving my time to Soft Lights www. It is an advocacy group dedicated to protecting civil rights of those with light sensitivity disabilities. This includes people with autism, epilepsy, lupus, PTSD etc. We are desperate, that these lights get changed and the strobes outlawed. The invention of LED lights for illumination has dramatically changed the world in an incredibly short amount of time. Citizens and government leaders alike jumped at the chance to save energy.

We need your advocacy. Additional supports for parents with disabilities would benefit families by Nikki Villavicencio When it comes to supports for people with disabilities, we often discuss quality of life. Creating supports for people with disabilities who want to have a family, is not frequently discussed.

Widespread discrimination leads to parents with disabilities to also have their parental rights terminated, barriers to prospective parents, barriers to adopting and fostering children.

The NCD report notes that multiple systems are to blame, including but not limited to, the child welfare, family law and adoption systems. One of the proposed recommendations from the NCD report is to steer change through state statues. Several states have passed legislation that addresses a patchwork of issues.

According to the Minnesota State Demographic Center, Minnesotans with disabilities are more than two times as likely to live in poverty than non-disabled people. It should not be surprising to anyone then, that parents with disabilities are three times more likely to have their parental rights terminated than their nondisabled counterpart.

Many know the challenges that all families face, involved in the child welfare system. Parents with disabilities are two times as likely than their non-disabled counterpart to also have the child welfare system involved in their lives.

So we can see the difference between parenting with a disability and parenting without a disability is economics.

These disparities are reported from the Minn-LinK Project. Minn-LinK is a system of data, that uses multiple agencies that the most marginalized children and families are served. In Minnesota about five years ago, a small group of advocates, providers, policymakers, and youth came together to draft legislation that would address parenting with a disability. This legislation creates a state-funded pilot program to provide supportive parenting services to parents who are eligible for personal care assistance services or Community First Services and Supports.

This new service would be called Supportive Parenting Services. The service would be eligible for parents that are currently receiving personal care assistance. The service would also be in addition to their current services and would not exceed 40 hours per month. Another section of the pilot project is to provide adaptive parenting equipment that would not otherwise be covered by medical services. One of the most promising sections of the state-funded pilot project is the establishment of the Parenting with a Disability Advisory Committee.

The advisory committee would include a number of members, but not limited to, legislative members, personal care attendants, people with disabilities, a representative from Child Protection Services, and representation from the Department of Human Services. The advisory committee, in conjunction with the Commissioner of Human Services, would also give a report to the legislature.

As we further the supports for parents with disabilities, the hope is to increase the quality of life for all people. We all deserve to live in whatever family we choose. Silver linings are hard to find when enduring a pandemic, but I am sure this is one of them. Thank you to all the supporters of parents! Nikki Villavicencio is a longtime disability rights activist. They felt safe and enjoyed their Minnesota State Fair experience As a longtime reader, and funder, of the Access Press, and as the parent of a daughter with disabilities, I cannot let pass the one-sided condemnation of the Minnesota State Fair, by the Minnesota Council on Disability MCD , that you gave voice to on the front page of your September, issue.

Let me offer a counterpoint. We all felt our visits to be COVID safe, just avoid the few crowded places entrance to the Midway , and wear masks for short visits in buildings with almost no visitors,.

My daughter especially likes to go there because of all the free give-aways; she made a haul this year. I strongly feel that almost all fair attendees I saw were doing a good job of social distancing, and keeping themselves safe.

There were a few crowded places, yes, but they were easy to avoid. What the MCD fails to recognize is that people can learn, and have learned in the last 18 months, how to stay COVID safe and still have some fun; even disabled people, of whom we saw many at the Fair.

I think the State Fair people deserve kudos for bringing back so much needed joy to so many people, and providing the means for each of us to do it safely it would have been impossible, as they said, to enforce a mask mandate; a mandate which, in my view, was totally unnecessary.

To be fair pun in tended , I do agree with MCD on the need for attendance caps — record setting crowds. The Paralympics, which ran from August 24 to September 5, received outstanding and unprecedented television coverage thanks to the good folks at NBC!

It was exciting to be able to watch Minnesota athletes Chuck Aoki, Rose Hollermann, and Mallory Waggemann compete for gold in their respective sports live from Tokyo! Thank you NBC for great coverage and for highlighting these 4, deserving Paralympic athletes from across the world! I am excited to see what you have planned for Beijing beginning March 4!
