Our biggest gain came this year with the approval by the Provost and UCC of two new courses, Feminist Theory and Feminism and Philosophy. Our monthly Women's Scholars Series was held providing opportunities for scholars and others to review the interdisciplinary nature of women's studies. The common response to this activity remains positive. Linda Chown, Jacquie Johnson, and Nathalie Ostroot are the prime movers of this women's studies endeavor. A student editor, Kirn Kleinhans, for our monthly newsletter, Women's Voices, got our department organ out on a regular monthly basis with the help of Sisters, our student women 's studies group. Enrollment in women's studies continues to grow, thanks at least in part to our general education offering for Group C. The general education course is Gender Perspectives On Values, WS 300. The Women 's Studies Program continues to operate with a part time coordinator, two visiting professors and a scant budget. Courses given for women's studies credit are also taught by other departments -- Women and the Law, for example. A conference with President Lubbers has been held to petition for space for a women's center in space remaining after the construction of the new science building. The student group, Sisters, has increased its membership and sponsored the annual Women's Festival which was enthusiasticaJly, but scantily, attended on Saturday, March 16, 1994. Lectures and booths of interest primarily to women students were featured. Further activities of the program include cooperation with the Grand Rapids consortium sponsoring "Legacy '94," climate study involvement and celebration of lnteroationaJ Women's History Month with an appearance by Paula Giddings, the cultural historian and scholar-in-residence at the National Humanities Center. Our goals for the coming year include an expansion of our women's studies offerings moving towards a major in women's studies. One course proposal we are presently considering is the course designed by Wendy Wenner from the English Department on Women and Philanthropy. We encourage development of women's studies courses in all related disciplines. Our most pressing goal remains H ex:pansion of resources for women's studies Hnamely, both faculty as well as budget. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Background GVSU is a member institution of the American Council on Education, the organizational umbrella for higher education in the United States . The ACE publication "The New Agenda of Women for Higher Education" was discussed widely on campus when it appeared in 1988. Among the 15 critical recommendations in "The New Agenda" are several that have received attention at GVSU, in particular: Recommendation 1 Seek a strong commitment from the leadership of the institution to understanding and addressing the concerns of women students, faculty, staff, and administrators. and Recommendation 3 Provide a supportive campus climate for women. In the summer of 1991, a number of faculty and staff women proposed the idea of a campus climate study at Grand Valley. President Lubbers supported the idea, and a request for proposals was issued. Dr. Ursula Del worth of the University of Iowa was selected to conduct the study. Known nationally for her studies of campus "ecosystems", Dr. Del worth agreed to review all GV policies and practices as well as conducting the surveys and interviews involved in the project. In the Fall of 1991, President Lubbers appointed a planning committee to work with Dr. Delworth on choosing issues relevant to women for investigation i . The planning committee has been meeting since Winter semester 1992. �2. The work of the committee In its numerous meetings, the committee identified various questions to be included in surveys to be administered to faculty, staff, and students. The committee and its processes have been public, with additional persons joinin9 in ~, and with all materials available to the campus community in 8 locations (JHZ Library; the Field House; L.V. Eberhard; the offices of the deans of Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Seidman School, science and Mathematics; and 25 Commerce) . Or. Oelworth made her initial visit to the campus in 1992. over the summer, her team worked on formulating questions for the surveys. The committee reviewed the questions and worked on a plan for implementation. The Executive Committee of the Senate endorsed the project at its meeting of December 4, 1992. 3. What next? Three survey instruments have been developed, one each f o r ~ , .s..t..a.f..f.,and~. A. All faculty and staff, women and men, will be asked to complete the appropriate survey. We need your participation! B. A large-scale survey of students, women and men, will be administered during the current semester, during one daytime class period and some segments of one evening class period. The methodology calls for a sample of 15 to 20 percent of the student body. The survey will take 3 O to 45 minutes. If your class is one that meets at the time selected, I' 11 be in touch with you directly. While I know the difficulty of using class time, the climate study is important for all of us, and I ask you to make every effort to allow your students the opportunity to be a part of the study. c. The data from the three surveys will be analyzed at the University of Iowa. or. Del worth and her team will do some on-campus interviews before completing their report for the university. �Members appointed by President Lubbers in August, 1991 Mary Seeger William Bell Lelande Bond, student Johnine Callahan Joe Cavitt Eva Cooper Deborah Downing Jean Enright June Fletcher Virginia Gordon John Gracki Jacqueline Johnson Frances Kelleher Brian Kelly Sandra Longstreet Alberto Macias Rosalind Mayberry Marie McKendall H.

Our present staffing includes one half time coordinator, Doris Rucks, and two visiting professors, Jean Blanchard and Suzanne Bellrichard-Perkins. We are presently offering four women's studies courses and have proposed the addition of a feminist theory course as one of the core courses for women's studies for Fall 1994. This proposed course has now been sent on to UCC and, if approved, should be offered in W 1995. With present staffing we could not meet what we anticipate as the demand fo r this course. To meet this eventuality and to supply increased resources for our growing program•, we request additional faculty allocation to the Women's Studies Program effective Fall, 1994. • The Philosophy Department is also proposing a feminist philosophy course for Fa!~ 1994 or Winter, 1995. Philosophy will provide staff but this will also require additional time for joint collaboration and for interdisciplinary cooperation which is one of the goals of our program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is likely that this reorganization will involve restructuring academic divisions into a single division consisting of Arts, Humanities, Mathematics, Science and Social Sciences. It is 1mperat1ve that Women's Studies address the issue of where, in the academic bureaucratic structure, we most appropriately belong. This decision is directly related to the interdisciplinary natur~ of Women's Studies. In 1991, Women's Studies became an autonomous program. Two issues were raised at that time - the bureaucratic and administrative structure of the university and its relationship to Women's Studies and the interdisciplinary nature of the Women's Studies Pr-ogram. It is these same issues which mu1it once again be addr-essed in ter-ms of r-elocating the Women's Studies Pr-ogr-am. Dur-ing the end of Mar-ch, 1992, the Women's Studie1i Pr-ogr-am held a r-etr-eat. The purpose of the retreat was long range planning and development concerning the Women's Studies Progr-am at Gr-and Valley. At that time it w.as deter-mined that the mission of Women's Studies is to foster and promote education, research and service which give value, visibility and voice to women's experience and global contr-ibutions. We need to assess how reor-ganization will affect our ability to accompl 1sh this mission. At the retreat, institutional reorganization was seen as both an opportunity and as a threat to the Women's Studies Pr-ogr•m. We ar-e faced with two possibilities regarding r-eorganization: either becoming par-t of a large division which includes all nonprofessional academic units, headed by a dean who will be hired some time this year, or to become par-t of thv Ac.a.demic Resources and Special Programs division, headed by Dean Mary Seeger. This division includes other interdisciplinary programs such as: the General Educ at ion Program, the Honors Pr-ogr-am and International Studies. This committee recommends that the Women's Studies Pr-ogram become a part of Academic Resources and Special Programs. l,hth Dean Mary Seeger as our dean, it is likely that our program will become more visible within the academic structure and more valued by the institution. Dean Seeger has in the past been an advocate for women's Studi@s and it is likely that she will add to our credibility as an academic program. �As part of our discuss1on at the retreat we assessed both the 1,,1eaknesses and strengths of the Women's Studies Pro,;iram~ In considering the location of our Women's Studies Program, we must also assess how relocation w1ll affect these strengths and weaknesses. The strengths of the Women's Studies Program identified at the retreat that may be affected by relocation are: interdisciplinary involvement tenacity, endurance, perseverance visibility in terms of rising student interest annual speakers for international women's month Will relocation into one or the other situation help to increase these strengths with1n our program or w1ll it diminish these strengths? S1nce- women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program, location within a division that consists of other interdisciplinary programs seems an appropriate choice. This 1,,,1ill encourage further interdisciplinary involve.nent, one of the strengths already identified with the Women's Studies Progr-am, Visibility of Women's Studies in terms of raising student interest is also likely to be strengthened since we 1,,,1ill be located in a division where student services are central eg. academic resources, tutoring/adv1s1ng, and TRIO programs. Thus, relocation of Women's Studies as part of Academic Resources and Special Programs 1s likely to maintain the strengths of the program. Some of the 1,,,1eakness discussed at the retreat that are related to or may be affected by relocation include: low budget lack of physical space not being valued by the institution low visibility lack of faculty resources insufficient support staff not all departments r-epresented on advisory committee Will relocation into one or the other situations help to d1m1n1sh these weaknesses 1,,,1ithin our program or i..,ill it add to our disadvantages? Relocation of Women's Studies under Academic Resources and Special Programs is 1 tkely to diminish some of our 1,,1eaknesses. We have 1n the past encountered reluctance on the part of some faculty to become involved in Women's �;;:i)J Studies because i t was seen as ai{ program linked closel.J the social sc 1ence division. Because we would be located within a division sep•rate from the academic units from uhich our faculty are drawn, i t is likely that we would have increase d participation of interested faculty since we would no longer be seen as a program t ted to the soc 1al sciences. Therefore, the participation on t h e advisory committee of fac u l ty fr om all disciplines will be enhanced .. It is likely th-.t Women's Studies may be able to ob t ai n an office since all of the programs currently in this division are housed at one facility. It is unlikely th&t we wou l d gain thts resource if we were to become part of the larg e d1vis1on of Arts, Letters, & Sciences. Final 1 y, our presence as a part of Academic Resourc e s an d Special Programs means that our bud get needs will in all l i kel i hood be more adequate! y met. Being 1 ocated among proQrams that are similar to ours in terms of structure, eg. general education, honors , etc . where there are no faculty appointments, wil 1 help us compete ,nore effecti ve l y f or limited resources (,noney, facult y r esour ces and suppor t staff>. This has been a problem in the past when 1Je ha d to compete for these resources with units having faculty appointments. How will the fact that we are an 1nterd1sc1plinary progr a m affect our ability to function 1Jithin each of the reloc•t1on alternatives? Since Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program, location within a division that consists of other interdisciplinary programs seems an appropriate choice. Are there other disadvantages or advantages connect e d with our choice of location within either alternative? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Well this seems relevant. Its from: Is That Hope? Section in What A Day, a Crooked Media daily newsletter. • Hahaha, no. The Cherokee County School District in Georgia just closed one high school and has over 1,100 students and staff in quarantine, a whopping eight days into the school year. As of Tuesday, the school district had a total of 59 confirmed cases. The district’s superintendent recommended that students wear masks to prevent more schools from closing, but hasn’t issued a mask mandate. Shout out to Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) for making this discretionary. �• But wait, it gets loonier: In Florida, another state with no mask requirement that just shattered its records for coronavirus hospitalizations and deaths, a Marion County sheriff has gone so far as to bar deputies from wearing masks in the office. Sheriff Billy Woods’s policy also prohibits civilians from wearing masks while visiting the building. All in a hard day’s work keepin’ the community safe! In China they have detected the virus on imported frozen foods, chicken and shrimp, from Brazil. Whether it is then transmitted to humans handling the foods is not known. But here in the States there have been outbreaks at frozen food processing plants. At the same time, apparently some lemons, oranges, limes and onions have been contaminated with salmonella and grocery stores have begun pulling these items off the shelf and putting signs on ‘clean’ produce. There are some days when I wonder if it will ever end. We are carefully living here in the US, my oldest and his wife are shut down in Auckland, New Zealand at least until tomorrow, where the 4 cases discovered on Tuesday morphed into a cluster of 17 cases yesterday. My youngest is 6 weeks through a complete lockdown in Melbourne, with another 4 weeks to go (I hope I got that right Asher). And Zoe and Oliver are proceeding with caution in Sydney Australia. I’m almost dispirited. �And here’s what’s happening behind closed doors: If the administration’s initial response to the coronavirus was denial, its failure to control the pandemic since then was driven by dysfunction and resulted in a lost summer, according to the portrait that emerges from interviews with 41 senior administration officials and other people directly involved in or briefed on the response efforts. Many of them spoke only on the condition of anonymity to reveal confidential �discussions or to offer candid assessments without retribution. An internal model by Trump’s Council on Economic Advisers predicts a looming disaster, with the number of infections projected to rise later in August and into September and October in the Midwest and elsewhere, according to people briefed on the data. Nearly seven months after the first coronavirus case was reported in the United States, there still is no national strategy to contain the outbreak — other than the demands, some of them contradictory, that Trump issues on Twitter or at news conferences. “OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!!” the president decreed in a tweet Monday. With polls showing Trump’s popularity on the decline and widespread disapproval of his management of the viral outbreak, staffers have concocted a positive feedback loop for the boss. They present him with fawning media commentary and craft charts with statistics that back up the president’s claim that the administration has done a great — even historically excellent — job fighting the virus. A senior administration official involved in the pandemic response said, “Everyone is busy trying to create a Potemkin village for him every day. You’re not supposed to see this behavior in liberal democracies that are founded on principles of rule of law. Everyone bends over backwards to create this Potemkin village for him and for his inner circle.” “Everybody is too scared of their own shadow to speak the truth,” said a senior official involved in the response. Washington Post, I think. And if you’re wondering what the Potemkin village quote means here’s what Wikipedia says: The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built solely to impress Empress Catherine II by her former lover Grigory Potemkin, during her journey to Crimea in 1787. And here they are, ready to take on the chaos and confusion and clear a well thought out path through the mess. They look like the A Team to me. �Stats: US - 5.21M cases with an increase yesterday of 55, 170. 166K deaths, an increase yesterday of 1,486. The national death toll is over 1,000 every single day. Michigan has 98, 825 cases with an increase yesterday of 515. Since the middle of July, Michigan has recorded anywhere between 500 and 1,000+ new cases a day. Kent County has between 6,947 and 7,635 cases and probably 157 deaths. We slide up and down daily between 25 and 80 new cases. Yesterday an acquaintance described the symptoms she was having at a zoom meeting I was attending. She had called her doctor but he refused to authorize a Covid-19 test. For a surreal moment I thought I had imagined what she said, but no, she elaborated further and no one at her practice would authorize a test. She appears to be continuing life as normal, which really bothered me. �Lets imagine that the virus resembles glitter. If you’re sick and you cough and sneeze, a little cloud of glitter comes out your nose and mouth. Some glitter is so light it stays suspended in the air for quite a while. Some glitter is heavier and it falls down and sticks to every surface around or near you. And of course, you put your hand over your mouth and now there’s glitter all over your hands and anything you touch. If you isolate at home, the glitter is your glitter. If you wear a mask, the glitter sticks to the inside of your mask until you discard it or wash it. If you wash your hands regularly, the glitter is scrubbed off and goes down the drain. If you stay at least 6 feet away from others, the glitter stays at least 6 feet away with you. I always like to ‘see’ ideas and thats how I see the virus - as glitter. I’ll leave this discussion with this: Washington Post: Here are some significant developments: • Senior aides to President Trump acknowledged Tuesday that his new executive orders will provide less financial help for the unemployed than previously advertised. • Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, said he has serious doubts that Russia’s experimental coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective. Russia has pledged to administer the vaccinate to millions of people, even before it has gone through crucial large-scale testing. • The Big Ten and Pac-12 canceled their 2020 football seasons as Trump continued to push for games to take place, saying that a fall without college football would be “tragic.” • Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) acknowledged that many schools in the state will not reopen until at least October, while one Republican lawmaker in Idaho said allowing experts to make decisions about closing or reopening schools was “elitist.” • Lebanon reported a record surge of 300 new infections one week after a deadly blast at Beirut’s port temporarily sidelined attempts to stamp out the virus and left hundreds of thousands homeless. So I can hear you saying: something nice, tell us something nice. ��Here’s an Oliver photo. He is so close to walking! One day we drove to Leucate. Wikipedia: Leucate is on the Mediterranean coast of France. It is part of the eastern Corbières Massif, which are called the Corbières maritimes. It is around 30 km (19 mi) south of Narbonne, and around 30 km (19 mi) north of Perpignan. The Phare du Cap (lighthouse) Leucate offers a view (on a clear day) over the French Mediterranean Sea from the Spanish border to the Camargue. Leucate was pretty much closed for the winter but it was a beautiful day and I do love a beach with the waves. The green is good but the beach is better. �����First 2 photos: me on the main beach; Craig on the cliffs; Craig on the beach - looking south that’s Spain and the Pyrenees in the distance. I did love being on the beach gazing at the Mediterranean Sea - and the coast was at most 2 hours drive away. When we first came to the US, we got a dog, a cocker spaniel poodle cross we called Buster. He was with us for 9 wonderful years and this cartoon is so true, especially with our neighbors on the block. �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University Libraries Description An account of the resource This collection of journals and personal narratives was solicited from the GVSU community by archivists of the University Libraries during the events of the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. During this unprecedented crisis the university closed suddenly, following federal and state guidelines of social distancing to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. The university closed its campuses on March 12, 2020, and quickly moved students out of campus housing. Faculty swiftly transitioned to fully-online teaching for the remainder of the Winter 2020 semester, and all campus events, including commencement, were cancelled. The purpose of the COVID-19 Journaling Project was to document the individual and personal experiences of GVSU’s students, staff, faculty, and the wider community during this time of international crisis. Some project participants were university student employees who were compensated for their journaling. Other participants were granted stipends or extra credit for submitting entries to the archives. Still others participated without any compensation or credit.

Kamala Harris will be Joe Biden’s running mate. I think it a good choice plus I’m really glad the Big Gretch is still looking after our state. Here are some reasons why Kamala is a good choice: The New York Times Joe Biden selected Senator Kamala Harris of California as his running mate on Tuesday. She is the first Black woman, and the first person of Indian descent, to be nominated for national office by a major party. �Today we turned to our colleague Alex Burns, who covered the announcement, to explain why Biden decided on Harris. 1. Broad appeal. Harris, long viewed as a rising Democratic star and an embodiment of the party’s diversity, was a relatively safe pick. She falls comfortably within the mainstream, but her embrace of a more left-leaning agenda as a presidential candidate last year meant that “liberals never mobilized against her during the V.P. search,” Alex told us. 2. Governing chops. Harris’s experience and pragmatism sync with Biden’s political style. Her ideological flexibility also matches his recent openness to more left-leaning economic and racialjustice policies amid the pandemic and protests over police violence. 3. Political panache. Harris sharply criticized Biden during a primary debate last year over his opposition to busing as a means of integrating public schools, an attack that left some advisers wary of putting her on the ticket. Picking Harris suggests a recognition that her more energetic style could prove an asset. I think Trump’s reaction was to name her Phony Kamala - and I want to say: is that the best you can think of? There are 82 days to the presidential election. When you receive your mail in ballot, hand deliver it to the appropriate office or put it in your city’s ballot box collection point, and then check online that it was received - or vote in person on the day, of course. Meanwhile in New Zealand where Zar and Alva are preparing to be at home again for COVID-19 Phase 2, the experts are still trying to figure out where the virus came from and an initial suggestion is this: i.stuff.co.nz A cool storage facility in Auckland will be tested for Covid-19, with the possibility that the virus could have travelled into New Zealand on refrigerated freight. Four cases of Covid-19 were discovered in south Auckland on Tuesday evening, ending a 102-day run of no community transmission. One of the people infected worked at Americold, a cool store company in Mount Wellington. Another worked at personal finance company Finance Now on Dominion Rd in Mount Eden Wait, what? It travels by itself on cold things? Okay, keep the bleach spray and cloths handy for everything entering your house - mail, groceries, prescriptions, parcels. You never know where that little blighter might be hiding. Yesterday Craig tried the mask test. He will be wearing the blue surgical masks to teach (I can’t even talk coherently about college reopening) and he had found his cloth masks too hard to be heard through. To �test masks, you out it on, light a match and then try to blow it out. If you can blow it out, throw that mask away, its useless. And speaking of masks, bandanas or neck gaiters are not safe: Washington Post: Not all face masks are created equal, as we have learned over the course of this pandemic. While N95s are the gold standard for and commonly used by health-care workers, most Americans reach for accessible, reusable fabrics to protect others as we run our errands. Now researchers have found that so-called neck gaiters — typically made from a very thin layer of stretchy, polyester-spandex blend — can be worse than wearing no mask at all. “These neck gaiters are extremely common in a lot of places because they’re very convenient to wear,” said Warren S. Warren, a professor of physics, chemistry, radiology and biomedical engineering at Duke. “But the exact reason why they’re so convenient, which is that they don’t restrict air, is the reason why they’re not doing much of a job helping people.” �Oh so true! Back to school. Trump has suggested and Betsy DeVos has endorsed the idea that children are able to go back to school full time and they’ll be safe - or not: New York Times: In the last two weeks of July, nearly 100,000 children in the United States tested positive for the coronavirus, according to data from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association. The speed and the scale of the infections — dozens of countries have not yet recorded 100,000 cases in total — further complicate the already daunting issue of reopening schools. In Georgia, Indiana and other �states, some schools that reopened have already closed down again after new outbreaks emerged. Recent research suggests that children can carry at least as much of the virus in their noses and throats as adults do, even if they have only mild or moderate symptoms. That has prompted fears that students who become ill at school may spread the virus to their older relatives. But it’s not just older people who are at risk — in some rare cases, a child’s health can be severely affected. Nearly 600 young people in the U.S., from infants to 20 year olds, have developed an inflammatory syndrome linked to Covid-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. Most of the children required intensive care. “I fear that there has been this sense that kids just won’t get infected or don’t get infected in the same way as adults and that, therefore, they’re almost like a bubbled population,” Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota, told The Times in July. “There will be transmission,” he said. “What we have to do is accept that now and include that in our plans.” ��From Zoe in Sydney where you no longer have to push a button to stop the traffic so you can cross the road. I was going to include a piece about the Big Ten canceling the football season this year, that is the big ten college football teams. But then I saw that other conferences (groups) are considering canceling seasons, so I’ll wait until that story plays out. The New Normal (NPR) Homemade sourdough bread, foraged mushrooms, open meadows, freshly picked flowers, homegrown produce, knitting, baking pies and rustic cottages. Sound like a scene from Little House on the Prairie or a spread in a 1940 Better Homes and Gardens magazine? Actually, it’s cottagecore, the new “it” aesthetic trend brought on by — you guessed it — locked-in syndrome … sorry, the coronavirus pandemic. Social media influencers and pop stars (hey, Taylor Swift!) have adopted cottagecore as a wholesome, back-tobasics response to feeling trapped and overwhelmed — sort of a honey-dipped antidote to “doomscrolling.” Ah yes, I’ll take cottagecore over doomscrolling any day. And now Oliver: ��You can just see the glint in his eye - 2 seconds later the tower was gone! One of our next excursions was to Esperaza. One of the old pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela passes this way, through the mountains and on into Spain. In the early 20th century, Espéraza was known for hat making. The town has a Hat Making Museum. Around 1815, the village experienced a considerable economic growth thanks to Bugarach hatters who settled there. First in 1830 and then in 1878 Espéraza enjoyed a prosperous period due to headwear, encouraged by the arrival of the railway. By 1929, there were 3000 Espéraza workers and 14 factories which allowed the village to become the second largest manufacturer of felt hats in the world (after Monza, Italy). But fashion had a terrible impact on the garment industry: the hat was worn less and less in the mid-20th century and Espéraza plunged into an economic depression. Now all that remains of the 14 Espéraza hat factories is a museum after the last factory burned down in 2002, although some have been converted to housing. Since the late 20th century, Espéraza has become known for dinosaur fossil bones and eggs discovered in the area. These discoveries began at the end of the 19th century and excavations continue today and new species of dinosaurs continue to be found. Dinosauria, the local museum, exhibits these fossils along with life size reconstructions of dinosaurs. Wikipedia ����This was one of the best dinosaur exhibits I have ever seen. It was so unexpected - we found it by accident, just driving through the countryside. Esperaza is a tiny town. In the 3rd photo the Tyrannosaurus Rex was motion sensitive and as I came around the corner, he roared at me. I think I jumped 3 feet in the air. Esperaza has a wonderful Sunday market and although we always intended to go, we just never got there. �Once more, many, many thanks for your readership and thanks also to all those who send me items to share.

For 101 days they had no community transmission of Covid-19 cases and life went back to Stage 1, that is, normal. Everything opened up except the borders and New Zealanders could be seen gathering in restaurants, bars and cafes; walking on beaches and in parks, riding bicycles and flying for vacations to other parts of New Zealand. On Tuesday night (remember, they’re 16 hours ahead of us) Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern closed the Greater Auckland area (Wellsford to Pukekohe) down to Stage 3 - all offices, restaurants, bars, cafes,schools etc closed. All Aucklanders not in essential services must stay home. All pharmacies and grocery stores to remain open but with restrictions. She closed the rest of NZ back to Stage 2, limiting group gatherings etc. PM Ardern also recommended the use of masks when visiting essential services. Why did this happen? Yesterday they discovered 4 cases of community transmission in Auckland. They are beginning massive testing and tracing tomorrow morning. We have seen this event in European and Asian countries where they have gotten the virus under control. A super quick lockdown, testing and tracing seems to bring it back under control very quickly. But its the rollercoaster effect: while the virus surges everyone behaves themselves but when it eases off, everyone throws caution to the wind. I find myself wondering - will masks become a fashion accessory? Will we color coordinate them with our daily outfit? Yesterday we went to Meijer where Craig noticed that every staff member was wearing a snazzy black mask with Meijer printed on it. A few people persisted in wearing their mask over their mouths only, but I guess its better than no mask at all. And they did have someone cleaning carts and baskets. Good job, Meijer! I felt dispirited yesterday. (Note to family: don’t worry, I’m almost dispirited). So, in anticipation of an outing I had made egg salad the day before and while Craig dropped Murphy at daycare (first time in 4+ months) I made the rest of our picnic lunch. We had intended to drive to Silver Lake, north beside Lake Michigan but the traffic was crazy (insane driving behavior) plus an added traffic jam due to road repairs, so we turned off the freeway and drove to Muskegon State Park. We stopped by the roadside and ate lunch watching the lake and listening to the waves. ��Murphy is being groomed on Thursday, so if the weather is good we might do another drive and picnic. Its an astonishing thing to say but the days are drawing in. Its dark longer in the mornings and the sun sets before 9pm. Its still hot weather and yesterday afternoon was horribly humid ahead of a storm. We were under a severe storm watch and in several states they experienced a Derecho which is a line of intense, widespread and fast moving windstorms and sometimes thunderstorms that moves across a great distance and is characterized by damaging winds. I believe the wind gusts got up to 100+ miles an hour. It went all the way to Chicago and then caused huge waves surging back and forth across southern Lake Michigan. We escaped most of the wind but the rain was a gully washer as my neighbor John said. Speaking of John, he corrected me regarding ghost lights in theaters. John has worked extensively in theater for much of his working life and he says: “The primary purpose of a ghost light is safety. Theaters are extremely dark, and with constantly changing scenery, the stage can be extremely dangerous, from tripping on new scenic elements, or walking into the orchestra pit or just off the stage itself. Ghosts are appeased with empty seats as well as a light to perform by in order they do not curse the theater. Every theater has a ghost and the light is for them not against them”. Thanks John. �Meanwhile ..... Grocery prices in the United States are rising at the fastest pace in decades after the pandemic sickened food plant workers, broke supply chains and otherwise upended the complex network of farms, factories and shipping routes Americans rely on to eat. The sticker shock is hitting people already struggling with unemployment and lost income, forcing families to reckon with a scarcity of basic necessities. Oct. 1 will be a day of reckoning for the airline industry.It's when major carriers will be allowed to lay off employees under the terms of a federal bailout, and many early ticket buyers are worried their flights may not exist. The Post asked industry experts whether it's risky to book a flight for the fall. Expect “an adventure,” one of them warned. (Safety wise, experts caution against non-emergency flights.) In the coronavirus economy, masks are king. Requirements that millions of Americans wear them in public has created a surge of demand, prompting some struggling companies to repurpose their manufacturing lines and get into the mask-making business. Meanwhile, we're all trying to get rid of our junk. Stuck at home and strapped for cash, Americans are widely engaged in a “great decluttering,” our Style desk wrote. “Not since the January 2019 purging tsunami inspired by Marie Kondo’s tidying Netflix series have Americans been so inspired to edit the junk out of their homes.” Are you? Washington Post This what the the two parties were arguing about before Trump took matters (illegally, I think) into his own hands. �And I had to post this: �Any day now Joe Biden will announce his running partner. Please keep this (above) in mind if he doesn’t choose a black woman. He’s basing his choice on a woman who can work closely with him and shares his ideals. Sounds like the best plan to me. And a word of warning: if you think that if Trump is reelected, you will just move to another country - not an option. NO ONE anywhere wants us anytime soon. Thats �because Trump and his minions have mismanaged this dreadful virus so appallingly that everyone in the world wants Americans to stay safely locked in America. They’ll let us out again when the virus has run its course. Last part of the Whitmer interviews: Whitmer and I had been talking for almost two months. We had covered a lot of ground: Her struggle to get medical supplies to her state; her inability to ban firearms from the Capitol; the bursting of a dam; the anger and pain now exploding across her state. As the weeks went by, it became increasingly clear to me that all of these different conversations about all of these different subjects were really one conversation about one subject: Her government — our government — was badly broken. During one of our last conversations, I asked Whitmer how she defined success, given the almost unimaginably daunting choices that lay ahead for her. She had just returned from another trip to Midland, where she learned that only a small fraction of the flood victims were likely to have their claims paid by their insurance companies. It was the sort of question Whitmer usually steered away from, migrating instead to firmer ground: the intransigent Legislature, the White House, the budget. She thought about it for an uncharacteristically long moment as she paced outside the governor’s residence and then offered the only response she could. “That’s a hard question to answer,” she said. “It’s one that we’re grappling with.” New York Times Just this morning Russia announced it was using a vaccine developed before clinical trials were completed. Putin said his daughter had been vaccinated. Before we all cheer, read this: Federal health official are worried Americans won't trust a coronavirus vaccine if and when one is developed, so they've launched a PR effort to assure people they won't release one before it's been tested, reviewed and vetted by an outside committee. The nightmare scenario is a repeat of 1976, when the Ford administration rushed a new swine flu vaccine out to the public, only for people to panic over possible side effects and force the program to shut down. Two days ago we walked again in Oak Hill Graveyard. Here are 2 famous local names, and one not so famous: ���BISSELL from BISSELL vacuum cleaners; Blodgett from donating the land for Blodgett Hospital and oh look! Benjamin. Time for Oliver ��He loves this empty cable reel called Rolly. No, I didn’t name it. About 30 minutes or so drive from us was Carcassone. As you approach it on the freeway, it rises out of the surrounding fields like a fairy castle. Inhabited since the Neolithic, Carcassonne is located in the plain of the Aude between historic trade routes, linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea and the Massif Central to the Pyrénées. Its strategic importance was quickly recognized by the Romans, who occupied its hilltop until the demise of the Western Roman Empire. In the fifth century, it was taken over by the Visigoths, who founded the city. Its strategic location led successive rulers to expand its fortifications until the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659. Its citadel, known as the Cité de Carcassonne, is a medieval fortress dating back to the Gallo-Roman period. Wikipedia �����Carcassone is actually 3 cities: the Citadel fortress, the medieval city below and the modern city further out. There were 2 ways of accessing the Citadel - the first was astonishingly steep and I hated it, and the other was an easy walk in from the adjacent parking lot. We visited Carcassone a number of times. This was our first visit to the Citadel. To leave you today, I offer this: Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars of light, are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment, the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over �the blue shoulders of the ponds, and every pond, no matter what its name is, is nameless now. Every year everything I have ever learned in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know. To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. “In Blackwater Woods” by Mary Oliver, from American Primitive. © Back Bay Books, 1983.American Primitive. © Back Bay Books, 1983. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The drawings talked about the closed Opera House that had a light left on in each of the theaters. These lights are called Ghost Lights and they originated as lights to keep the ghosts away, but they are also lights for safety (no falling in the orchestra pit etc). The person in charge of the lights at the Opera House said that this year she left the ghost lights on to say: we will be back. Here are the last 2 drawings from the post: ��This morning I read a very long article from Rolling Stone magazine by Professor Wade Davis at the University of British Columbia. Its a tough read. Here are 2 extracts Today, the base pay of those at the top is commonly 400 times that of their salaried staff, with many earning orders of magnitude more in stock options and perks. The elite one percent of Americans control $30 trillion of assets, while the bottom half have more debt than assets. The three richest Americans have more money than the poorest 160 million of their countrymen. Fully a fifth of American households have zero or negative net worth, a figure that rises to 37 percent for black families. The median wealth of black households is a tenth that of whites. The vast majority of Americans — white, black, and brown — are �two paychecks removed from bankruptcy. Though living in a nation that celebrates itself as the wealthiest in history, most Americans live on a high wire, with no safety net to brace a fall And The American cult of the individual denies not just community but the very idea of society. No one owes anything to anyone. All must be prepared to fight for everything: education, shelter, food, medical care. What every prosperous and successful democracy deems to be fundamental rights — universal health care, equal access to quality public education, a social safety net for the weak, elderly, and infirmed — America dismisses as socialist indulgences, as if so many signs of weakness. If you want to read the whole article, here is the link: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politicalcommentary/covid-19-end-of-american-era-wade-davis-1038206/ I was born and raised in a socialist country. Then I moved to another socialist country for my middle years. Since moving to the United States and becoming a citizen, I have never really understood the deeply ingrained resistance to socialism. All 3 of mu children have long annual leave and accruing long service leave. They are sometimes instructed to use up some of their annual leave as there are rules about accumulating too much. What springs to mind is that all 3 children hold important positions within their professions and yet the world doesn’t end if they take 6 weeks leave - and their job is still there waiting for them when they return. As for the cost of my college degree - this was 30 years ago and it has changed now but then the annual cost of my attending university was deferred under a national scheme called HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) which meant I would pay the cost back at an annual percentage in my annual tax bill. But here’s the kicker - it only started once you began earning wages. In other news: Letitia James, New York's attorney general, announced civil action on Thursday to dissolve the National Rifle Association after an 18-month investigation found more than $64 million in alleged fraud by CEO Wayne LaPierre and others. James claims NRA officials misused charitable funds for personal gain, gave contracts to families and friends, and bought the loyalty of former employees with lucrative contracts. The NRA condemned the allegations, saying the action is a political vendetta intended to limit gun rights and stifle free speech. NPR I hope this succeeds. And here’s something to make you laugh from a friend: �A German nudist had the last laugh after giving chase to a wild boar that had run off with a bag containing his laptop. Pictures posted on social media show the naked man running after a sow and her two piglets to the mirth of fellow bathers at Berlin's Teufelssee, or Devil's Lake. Adele Landauer, an actor and coach who says she took the pictures, wrote that the pigs first helped themselves to somebody's pizza before grabbing the bag. When the owner realised what had happened, he “gave his all” and recovered it, she said. When he came back with his yellow bag in the hand we all clapped and congratulated him for his success,” she added. Landauer said she later showed the man the pictures she had taken and “he laughed loudly and authorised me to publish them”. Wild boars are common in the forests around Berlin and can occasionally be seen venturing through city parks in search of food. Here’s the next excerpt from Gov Whitmer’s ongoing interviews: In mid-March, as Michigan’s caseload continued to grow, Whitmer faced another tough decision: Should she lock down the state? Over the next 48 hours, Michigan’s caseload doubled to more than 1,000, and it became clear that the state had to close. But how much of it? Totten brought the revised order to Whitmer in her office on March 23. He told her that the moment she signed it, she would almost certainly be exercising more power than any governor in the history of Michigan. “There has never been a governor who literally told everyone in the state to stay home,” he �said. “That’s just extraordinary.” Over the next week, Michigan’s Covid-19 numbers exploded. By the end of March, the state was reporting 7,615 confirmed cases and 259 deaths. Both totals were far higher than those in any of its neighboring states. Michigan is the nation’s 10th-most-populous state, but it had the fourth-highest Covid-19 case and fatality counts in the country. The state’s caseload was still rising exponentially. On April 9, Whitmer signed a new executive order. This one imposed some of the most severe restrictions in the country, barring any activity that wasn’t “necessary to sustain or protect life.” It prohibited the use of motorboats, closed golf courses and, in a move almost guaranteed to provoke a backlash, required big-box stores to seal off aisles devoted to lawn care. As of yesterday Michigan had 96,726 cases in total and 6,519 deaths. I remember when we were shocked by almost 5000 deaths. Two days ago we walked along the ridge above the ravine on the Allendale GVSU campus. It is lovely, quiet and shady. ��Then yesterday I found this little guy on the corner of our front porch. �And here is Craig in his happy place: ��The ‘holes’ around the tree are where he has planted wildflower seeds. Now Oliver: ��His first selfie. In the first week one of our first excursions was to Montsegur. In 1243–44, the Cathars (a religious sect considered heretical by the Catholic Church) who had sought refuge at the Montségur fortress were besieged by 10,000 troops, in what is now known as the siege of Montségur. In March 1244, the Cathars finally surrendered and approximately 244 were burned en masse in a bonfire at the foot of the pog when they refused to renounce their faith. Wikipedia ����There is still the ruins of the fortress on the top. I climbed maybe a third of the way up before I went down again and fell down the last steep bit (but only wounded my pride). All around us were cows grazing with their cow bells clonking on the breeze. It was confronting to think of those burned alive in what is a lovely meadow now. Today I’ll leave you with this photo taken by my friend Rich. Its taken from St Ignace looking back at Lower Michigan on the other side of the Mackinac Bridge. �Remember: 89 days until the election.

This was a golf course and had closed down and fallen into disrepair. The Blandford Nature Center and the Land Conservancy of West Michigan collaborated on the purchase of the 121-acre former Highlands Golf Club in Grand Rapids in the winter of 2017 with a vision to transform the property into a natural area for community recreation, nature preservation, and land conservation. Since the last time we visited they have torn down the clubhouse and the other buildings and are in the middle of regenerating the remaining piece of the golf course. We walked along one of the many interconnecting mown paths and admired the wildflowers. ��The only landmark for not getting lost is the water tower in the distance. We couldn’t believe how high the grasses and wildflowers had grown since out last visit. It is a beautiful place to walk - just not in the middle of a hot day! I have never seen so may houses look lived in. By that I mean that at least one person is at home all day now, and gardens are gorgeous, front porches look inviting and used daily and everyone is walking or biking. Last week we went to Target and the thing that struck me was the back wall of the sports section was completely devoid of bicycles. There was only a long row of empty racks. It is surprising what stores are sold out of. The little children on our block have spent the summer with one of the older teenagers on our block as their carer. It makes me smile to see the girl I remember as a little one herself, organizing activities and keeping everyone safe and happy. The shrieks of laughter and the sound of scooters and bikes riding up and down the sidewalk has been the constant hum of the summer. So what else is happening? In virus terms, the stats continue to rise. Yesterday the US saw an increase of 55,692 cases to bring the total cases confirmed to 5.01M. Remember how shocked we were as we neared 4M? We also continue to add over 1000 deaths a day ( yesterday we added 1,109) and now the total deaths �are 162K. Its hard to comprehend these huge numbers, unless you know someone who has tested positive and then it becomes a disturbing reality. I have a friend who’s spouse is ill and tested negative, but is displaying the classic virus symptoms. And here’s a piece of worrying news: tests which are found to be negative are in fact somewhere between 70 and 75% accurate. Oh. A coronavirus model the White House cited heavily in the spring now predicts the U.S. death toll will double to nearly 300,000 by December unless Americans change their ways. The director of the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said the country was experiencing a “rollercoaster” effect: briefly following safety guidelines when infection rates spike, but abandoning them as soon as they begin to bring the numbers down. Washington Post. Speaking of people abandoning safety guidelines: One of the largest events since the beginning of the pandemic has begun in South Dakota: More than 250,000 people are expected at the iconic Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. That's scaled down from previous years, where about half-a-million people have descended on the city of about 7,000 for an event that has developed a reputation as an anything-goes festival. While the 80-year tradition isn't as raucous as it once was, festivalgoers will be largely free of social distancing restrictions common elsewhere in the country during this year's 10-day festival. Bikers flocking to the small town from around the country won't face quarantining requirements if they are from a coronavirus hot spot. And masks? They're encouraged – not required. So far, few people are heeding that encouragement, according to Associated Press reports from Friday and Saturday. USA Today. �And now we can’t even go to Canada - although I know some of you have been seriously considering it. I was packing for my road trip from Colorado to Alberta, Canada, when the text came in from a gentleman I’d been helping with groceries during the pandemic. “The Canadians are actually doing damage to vehicles with United States plates on them,” he cautioned, giving me my first inkling that it wasn’t just public health officials who were serious about keeping Americans out of Canada, where the death rate from the coronavirus has been roughly half that of its southern neighbor. As a dual citizen I was entitled to cross the border, closed to most Americans because of the pandemic. With an octogenarian father in Calgary who had been largely isolated during the stay-at-home orders, I was willing to submit to Canada’s mandatory two-week quarantine in order to visit. But my friend’s warning proved prescient. Some concerned residents who fear that the virus will be spread to their communities have been taking matters into their own hands, spurring so many reports of intimidation that the premier of British Columbia, John Horgan, reminded angry Canadians to “Be Calm. Be Kind” at a July 27 news conference. Before the pandemic, when Americans could choose most any country in the world to travel, Canada was their second most popular foreign destination, behind only Mexico. Lured by the proximity, advantageous exchange rate and safety of their northern neighbor, in the first six months of last year, U.S. residents made 10.5 million trips to Canada, the highest level in 12 years, according to Statistics Canada, a government agency. But the welcome mat was rolled up on March 31, when the border between the two countries was closed to tourists. That hasn’t kept some Americans from trying, however. Many are routinely turned away at border crossings, while other have chosen to go sightseeing instead of taking the most direct route to Alaska as required of those driving from the Lower 48 — even though violators face possible fines, jail or even being banned from Canada. There were so many interlopers that on July 31, Canada began limiting which crossings along the border with the United States can be used by foreign nationals who are allowed to transit through the country for nondiscretionary purposes. It is also requiring them to register, and making them display a hang tag on their rear view mirror with a mandatory departure date. Now this isn’t cheering: 1. The outbreak may worsen come winter. That’s when the cold will bring many indoors. “We know that the biggest risk of spread for this virus is when meaningful numbers of people gather indoors for any extended period of time,” one expert told Joe Pinsker. �2. Immunology is central to the pandemic’s biggest mysteries. Understanding it is key. “Which is unfortunate because, you see, the immune system is very complicated,” Ed Yong, who also wrote one of our latest cover stories, explains. 3. Even after this is all over, the coronavirus will likely stick around. “We will probably be living with this virus for the rest of our lives,” our Science reporter Sarah Zhang warns. “In fact, virologists have wondered whether the common-cold coronaviruses also got their start as a pandemic, before settling in as routine viruses.” The Atlantic They didn’t use just masks in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, they were sometimes more creative. ��Well you could certainly still wear lipstick here! And I wanted to share this - a friend on a nearby block did this. Do remember I told you when you fly the American flag upside down this signals ‘dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property‘ ? Oliver time. �He loves toy trucks and cars and drives them everywhere - even on Mummy’s knee. �One of our first excursions form La Bastide was to the nearby town of Mirepoix. If we were allowed to walk over the farmers fields we could have walked there in 15 minutes and the road was too narrow and busy to walk along the side. At the heart of Mirepoix is one of the finest surviving arcaded market squares - Les Couverts- in France. The square is bordered by houses dating from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. The mediaeval Maison des Consuls (council house) has rafter-ends carved with dozens of images of animals and monsters, and caricatures of mediaeval professions and social groups.Wikipedia. Monday was the weekly market day and we would shop for delicious foodstuffs and Craig would put them back in the car and then we would have the Plat du Jour at our favorite cafe for lunch. It was easy to fall into the French rhythm of eating a 2 or 3 course lunch in a leisurely manner with wine and much conversation and then a picnic type dinner at home. We did eat lunch out most days and sometimes we ate a proper dinner as well. All the shops and offices closed between 12pm and 2pm or 3pm on weekdays and this made it easy to eat a longer lunch with time for a nap afterwards. ���At the top: market Monday; a view underneath the arcade and a view from the outside of the arcade looking at the houses above. I’ll leave you with the next part of Gov Whitmer’s interviews: Since then, I have been talking to Whitmer every couple of days; our conversations evolved as she found herself confronting not only a public-health crisis but an economic crisis, the catastrophic collapse of a major dam and a historic reckoning with racial inequality. She was usually in her living room at the governor’s residence in Lansing when we spoke — she set up her office there because it had the best WiFi reception in the house — though when the weather was good she would occasionally step outside and walk around the lawn. Some days, I could hear her Labradoodle, Kevin, playing with a squeaky chew toy in the background. Whitmer is not naturally introspective. Recounting the almost incomprehensibly consequential decisions she was making on a daily basis, she rarely lingered on how she felt or the magnitude of the moment. She was more inclined to review events and discuss strategy, approaching it all with the same practical mindset and vocabulary she brought to more manageable governmental challenges like fixing potholes. The effect wasn’t necessarily stirring — there was no soaring rhetoric about the need to rise to this historic challenge — but it was oddly reassuring; she was channeling panic into process. �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 Journals Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grand Valley State University. University Libraries Description An account of the resource This collection of journals and personal narratives was solicited from the GVSU community by archivists of the University Libraries during the events of the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. During this unprecedented crisis the university closed suddenly, following federal and state guidelines of social distancing to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. The university closed its campuses on March 12, 2020, and quickly moved students out of campus housing. Faculty swiftly transitioned to fully-online teaching for the remainder of the Winter 2020 semester, and all campus events, including commencement, were cancelled. The purpose of the COVID-19 Journaling Project was to document the individual and personal experiences of GVSU’s students, staff, faculty, and the wider community during this time of international crisis. Some project participants were university student employees who were compensated for their journaling. Other participants were granted stipends or extra credit for submitting entries to the archives. Still others participated without any compensation or credit. The University Archives remains grateful to all who submitted journals, for helping us to understand the impact of this crisis on our community.
