SLCC Celebrates Black History Month: David N. Dinkins

To contact us Click HERE
David N. Dinkins served as the 106th Mayor of New York City from 1990 to 1993. He was the first and only African-American to hold that office.

Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Dinkins moved with his father to Harlem as a child. He returned to Trenton and attended Trenton Central High School, graduating in the top 10 percent of his class in 1945. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and trained at Camp Montford Point.
Following President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s signing of Executive Order 8802—which barred government agencies and federal contractors from refusing employment in industries engaged  in defense production on the basis of race, creed, color or national origin—Montford Point in Jacksonville, North Carolina trained the first African-American marines beginning in 1942. Between 1942 and 1949 more than 20,000 African-American men trained at Montford Point. In July 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, mandating the U.S. Military be desegregated. This order led to the deactivation of Montford Point in 1949. After Montford's deactivation, new African-American recruits were sent to Parris Island and Camp Pendleton. During the Korean War, the United States Marine Corps was fully integrated.
Dinkins served in the Marine Corps from 1945 through 1946.
After his military career, Dinkins rose through the Democratic Party and served briefly in the New York State Legislature. Dinkins was named Deputy Mayor by Mayor Abraham D. Beame but was never appointed. He defeated three-term incumbent Mayor Ed Koch in the Democratic primary and Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani in the general election to be elected Mayor of New York City on November 7, 1989.
Dinkins is currently Professor in the Practice of Public Affairs at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. He graduated magna cum laude from Howard University with a degree in mathematics. He later graduated from Brooklyn Law School.

SLCC Celebrates Black History Month: Carl Maxie Brashear

To contact us Click HERE

Carl Maxie Brashear was the first African-American to become a U.S. Navy Master Diver. Born in Tonieville, Kentucky, the sixth of eight children to sharecroppers McDonald and Gonzella, Brashear attended Sonora Grade School before enlisting in the U.S. Navy. He graduated from the U.S. Navy Diving & Salvage School in 1954, becoming the first African-American to attend and graduate from the Diving & Salvage School.


Brashear first did work as a diver retrieving approximately 16,000 rounds of ammunition. On his first tour of shore duty in Quonset Point, Rhode Island his duties included salvaging airplanes and recovering dead bodies.
Early in his career, Brashear’s duties included escorting U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the presidential ship Barbara Ann.

In 1966, Brashear was involved in the accident that has come to be known as the Palomares incident. A B28 nuclear bomb was lost off the coast of Palomares, Spain when two U.S. Air Force aircraft collided during aerial refueling. Brashear was then serving aboard the USS Hoist, which was dispatched to find and recover the missing bomb.
After a search that took several months, the warhead was found. Brashear’s left leg was injured when a line broke during the recovery effort. He was evacuated to Torrejon Air Base in Spain, then to the USAF Hospital at Wiesbaden Air Base, Germany, and to the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia. His leg was eventually amputated due to the injuries caused in recovering the warhead.
Following his amputation and convalescence, Brashear was assigned to the Harbor Clearance Unit Two, Diving School, preparing for return to full active duty and diving. In April 1968, Brashear was the first amputee diver to be certified as a U.S. Navy diver. In 1970, he became the first African-American U.S. Navy Master Diver.
Brashear retired from the U.S. Navy as a Master Chief Petty Officer and Master Diver. Following his retirement, he served as a civilian employee for the government at Naval Station Norfolk until his retirement in 1993.
U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen presented Brashear with the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service in 2000.
In 2007, the Newport News Fire Department dedicated a fireboat named Carl Brashear to be used by their Dive and Marine Incident Response Teams.
The following year, the U.S. Naval Service christened the Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Carl Brashear in his honor.
In 2009, Nauticus—a Norfolk, Virginia science and maritime museum—opened the exhibit "Dream to Dive: The Life of Master Diver Carl Brashear".
His life story is dramatized in the 2000 motion picture Men of Honor; actor Cuba Gooding, Jr. portraysBrashear in the film.
Following his death in 2006, his sons DaWayne and Phillip Brashear started the Carl Brashear Foundation in his honor.

Listener's Community Radio

Listener's Community Radio of Utah, or KRCL 90.9 FM ~ All the Radio You Need, is one amazing place to work. I have now been their Administrative Assistant for a month and a half, and I've learned so much about how they do what they do. I have lots of cleaning and organizing projects to keep me busy, which I love, as I am able to listen to the radio live while doing them, or think my busy thoughts to myself. I've also been recorded a couple of times for "KRCL is supported by . . ." and "We would like to thank . . ." spots to be played on air throughout the days.

What Listener's Community Radio offers me is different and unique in every way. I feel that what this station offers each of their listeners is individually and collectively identifiable! What I mean is, I get something out of KRCL (RadioActive news and thoughts, a safe place to be out as a lesbian and use my skills to benefit a community) that not everyone else does. Many people listen for Bad Brad's Afternoon Show, to hear the weather and traffic and awesome music they won't hear anyplace else. Others listen for Democracy Now; many listen to our amazing weekend shows ranging from Strange Radio and a Science show to Vietnamese, Chinese and Native American shows. What an eclectic mix!

I am very much looking forward to meeting an eclectic mix of this community's listeners, at our December 3 Polar Jubilee. If you like live music and want to be part of Bad Brad's Hanukkah Harmonica Army, you had better buy your tickets here soon. It sounds like a riot to me . . . not something I would likely attend if I weren't working here, but an event I'm glad I won't be missing now that I am. KRCL makes me smile every day, for one reason or another. I hope you'll start streaming shows online, or listening during your day, to find your reason or another to be a part of the KRCL community! This is where Salt Lake City is found, through and through. I am KRCL ~ are you?

Elaine's Responsibility Code

To contact us Click HERE
First of all, the inspiration for this post's title :

1. Always stay in control.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way.
3. Stop in a safe place for you and others.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging, look uphill and yield.
5. Use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe signs and warnings, and keep off closed trails.
7. Know how to use the lifts safely.

I saw this posted near the cashier at the Park City Mountain Ski Resort yesterday when checking out my ski rental equipment. It comes from the National Ski Areas Association and is called "Your Responsibility Code." I found it most helpful to have start-off guidelines for etiquette and safety in an area I had never been and where I had no idea of what to expect. Many of the code items were similar to what I observe or expect when hiking, so this immediately put me at ease. But the first one on the list sure made me smile! Stay in control. So, here is my "Responsibility Code" of sorts; these are my suggestions for how to "stay in control."

What I learned the first day :

1. This is not a comfort sport. Don't expect to be comfortable when learning; it will hurt! As I read on one site, "Get in shape to ski. Don't ski to get in shape." I found this amusing more than annoying, because honestly, skiing is a luxury sport. The lifts and runs and equipment are all expensive to maintain and make available. So I found it amusing to put my foot into that first rental boot, only to look around me thinking, people pay for this kind of discomfort? (see what I learned day 2 for better news) But how could I feel annoyed? Surprised a bit, but perfectly ready to take a deep breath and think about something else ... like the fact that I would soon be learning how to ski down a mountain of snow!

2. Don't take your skis inside restaurants. People look at you funny. This is why there are complimentary ski racks to lean them against right outside the restaurant doors.

3. Learn how to walk in heels. (again, see what I learned day 2 for better news) I spent all of the first day thinking I should go home and practice walking in heels more often ~ toe-to-heel, toe-to-heel, like an elegant princess! I used to walk like this, "to practice being a princess," when I was a little girl ... but I never did become graceful, I always looked like a fool doing it! I also looked like a fool all the first day of wearing those rental boots.

4. Do yoga. I should have done an hour of yoga the night before my first time skiing ~ you wouldn't think it looking at those people all bundled up the way they are, but you want to be flexible if you're going to be a skier.

5. Skiing can be very much like ice skating.


What I learned the second day :

1. Wake up early, eat delicious and filling food, drink plenty of water (and go to the bathroom), and don't be opposed to warming up the insides with an early afternoon cocktail! I luckily learned each of these things simply by being grateful I did them, not by experiencing any mishaps like having to go home early because you peed in your getup.

2. Rent equipment from a place that gives you amazing-quality boots that don't hurt and beautiful blue Salomon skis! Then you also learn that your toe-to-heel endeavors didn't actually make any sense whatsoever, so scratch that bit about learning to walk in heels ... there still remains no reason I can think of for that kind of torture being a good idea.

3. Don't cry when you fall. It's not so bad, and then once you have fallen, if you went on something super-challenging for your level, you learned exactly what you should work on next so you can do what you just did again, later, without falling.

4. Always stay positive. Look around you and learn. Even if something's hard or it hurts, you're still skiing! Keep moving (and be willing to move SLOWLY) and you'll get better.

I bought a book a few weeks ago from the First Unitarian Church book sale, called "Earth Bound," which contains "Daily Meditations For All Seasons." The first meditation I read yesterday, January 1, 2012. It was about the atypical human tradition of crafting "resolutions" for the New Year. I adore this tradition, personally. For probably all of the month of December, I find myself thinking about what I would like to see change the most in my own life the coming year. I don't often write my resolutions, but I voice them, to myself and my partner. We encourage each other in pursuing some that are meaningful to us both.

But this meditation/thought I read yesterday pointed out that we are the only species in nature who seek for perfection in this way. I am trying to craft my resolutions now in terms of what will bind me more to the earth and the natural world I am a part of. Eating & moving healthily. Practicing consideration and compassion for others (people, plants, animals, all life). The reading suggested that, rather than seek for 'perfection,' or resolve to be 'perfect,' we embrace the changes and inherent imperfections as parts of who we are as human beings.

Utah women in politics vastly outnumbered

To contact us Click HERE
Jennifer Seelig is among a few handfuls of women legislators who are vastly outnumbered by their male counterparts. Half of all the state is female, but fewer than one in five legislators are women. Neighboring Colorado tallies two female legislators to every three men.

Nationally, almost a quarter of state legislators in the United States are women. But the proportion of women in the Utah Legislature is the lowest it has been since 1998. According to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, only four states have a smaller female percentage: Alabama, Oklahoma, Louisiana and South Carolina. And no women in Utah hold a statewide or congressional office.

Now, lawmakers and others are working to change that by recruiting female candidates.
Real Women Run, a Utah group dedicated to raising the number of Utah women in politics, urges women to join boards or commissions like Seelig did. The group also holds classes for women interested in running for office.

As a woman and a nurse, Biskupski said, Lockhart brought a new perspective to the House floor. That perspective made Lockhart instrumental, Biskupski said, in passing legislation which allowed midwives to enter homes without a doctor present. "There was so much work that went into it," Biskupski said. "She was instrumental in bringing both sides together."

Lockhart cited what she called Utah's cultural focus on family as a reason that few women in the state run for office.

Lockhart emphasized the importance of networking at local political party gatherings as an important tool in recruiting women.

After serving as a commissioner, Seelig, the House minority leader, said she hesitated for a few months before deciding to vie for a seat in the House. She credits her stints as a commissioner and a common counselor as training grounds that taught her to state her case, listen actively and adjust to the public spotlight. Deseret News

Salt Lake County modernizes business license ordinance

To contact us Click HERE
A yearlong editing process eliminated 45 fees for specialized business licenses by Salt Lake County’s Planning and Development Division— such as $30 for an indoor, year-round miniature golf course or $150 for a slaughterhouse.

And that sits just fine with leaders of two local chambers of commerce that helped county officials to remove provisions no longer relevant in the modern business world.

Now was the time to update the document, added Alan Anderson, president/CEO of ChamberWest Regional Chamber of Commerce, which covers Kearns, West Valley City and Taylorsville, and the East Valley Regional Chamber in Millcreek.

"With any rebounding economy, it’s the entrepreneurs of the world who come into play," said Anderson, whose chambers represent about 3,000 unincorporated-area businesses. "It should be easier now to start a business in Millcreek or Kearns."

Division Director Rolen Yoshinaga cited several other oddities removed from the books. Laundromat owners will be spared a fee of $6 per washing machine — and county officials won’t have to put stickers on machines to show the fee was paid —while grocery stores won’t be charged an extra fee based on the gallons of milk in the store.

All that remains in the ordinance are chapters dealing with businesses regulated by state or federal governments — establishments selling alcohol and tobacco, massage parlors and sexually oriented businesses, residential solicitors, taxi companies, check cashers and alarm businesses.

The County Council voted 6-1 last week in favor of the revisions. Salt Lake Tribune

Utah hospitals absorb $698 million in unpaid bills

To contact us Click HERE
The economy appears to be on the mend, but Utah’s hospitals are getting no relief from demand for free and discounted care.

As ranks of uninsured and underinsured swell, the state’s four major health systems have seen their uncompensated care — charity care plus unpaid bills — more than triple in nine years, to $698 million in 2012.

Nonprofit Intermountain Healthcare alone forgave more than half a billion dollars in charges. So at what point do hospitals insist that Utah expand Medicaid to cover more of the state’s uninsured?
Utah leaders are undecided about whether to stretch Medicaid in 2014 to cover an estimated 58,000 uninsured adults.



The federal government will pick up the entire bill for new enrollees the first three years, and at least 90 percent of the expenses after that, totaling $4.1 billion between 2014 and 2019.

But the state’s portion is considerable and predicted to mount to $174 million by 2020, and possible more if the deficit forces Congress to trim entitlement spending.

Lawmakers, industry leaders and advocates are awaiting the unveiling of a state-commissioned cost study by Public Consulting Group, which has been delayed twice.

The economics of a Medicaid expansion make it a no-brainer, consumer advocates argue.

Federal Medicaid dollars generate rounds of spending as hospitals staff up and invest in equipment upgrades, and as health care workers spend their earnings on restaurants and cars.

Hospital executives agree that covering the uninsured is a good for public health and their bottom lines. The most recent earnings forecast for HCA, owner of Utah’s for-profit MountainStar Hospitals, fell short of analysts’ expectations as revenue gains were overshadowed by unpaid patient bills.
On a national level, HCA supports expanding Medicaid.

But Utah’s uninsured rate isn’t as high as in other states, "which is why we are working with other health care providers [to find] … solutions that help in the short term and are sustainable in the long run," said MountainStar spokeswoman Audrey Glasby.

Unpaid care at University Hospitals and Clinics has grown from 6 percent to 8 percent of the budget in recent years, said CFO Gordon Crabtree. The system doled out $39 million in financial aid in fiscal 2011-12 and wrote off $59 million in bad debt.

To compensate, the university has cut about 300 staff through attrition over the past three years and squeezed drug and device makers for better prices. Salt Lake Tribune

There will be information about the Cottage Food license for those who run or want to start a food business from home. Along with food safety, marketing your business to ensure its success is another important topic that will be addressed. KCSG

Utah Senate committee debates prison relocation

To contact us Click HERE
Utah lawmakers are considering a plan to relocate the state prison in southwest Salt Lake County.

Sen. Scott Jenkins introduced legislation that creates an authority to manage the relocation of the Utah State Prison and evaluate proposals from companies seeking to build a new prison or develop the old site.

The Utah State Prison occupies about 700 acres in Draper where tech companies such as eBay and Microsoft have opened offices.

Gov. Gary Herbert has called on lawmakers to fund the relocation so the corridor can develop as a technology hub. State officials have been weighing relocation for several years.

The Utah State Prison was built in 1951 and houses about 4,500 inmates. Before that, Utah's state prison was at what is now Sugar House Park.

The state also operates a prison in Gunnison, the Central Utah Correctional Facility.

The goal is to get the legislation passed quickly so the authority can get up and running by April 15, as required by the bill, Sen. Scott Jenkins said.

The authority would then seek proposals from companies and come back to the Legislature and governor with a viable option.

It's unlikely any proposal would be ready to come before the Legislature by the time next year's session concludes, but the governor could convene lawmakers in a special session to approve the plan.

Some of the possible sites that have been considered for the new prison are in northwest Utah _ specifically Box Elder County, Juab County and Tooele County. Cache Valley Daily
