🧀✨ Happy National Cheese Day! ✨🧀

June 4 is National Cheese Day, so let’s take a moment to honor the cheddar, the brie, the gouda, the goat, the grilled, and the smoked. Whether you're into classic American slices or artisanal wedges, today is for the cheese lovers!

In Special Collections, we’re celebrating by sharing Some Cheese for Charles by Helen E. Buckley (1918-2001), a preschool and elementary school teacher. It was illustrated by Evaline Ness (1911-1986), a commercial artist, illustrator, and author of children's books. The book was published in New York by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. in 1963.

Here’s a little cheesy knowledge for you:

Wisconsin produces more than 3 billion pounds of cheese a year. The oldest known cheese dates back 3,600 years (found in a Chinese tomb!) There’s an entire field of study called fromology — the science of cheese.

Men in women’s sports isn't just about fairness it's about safety. The second article details how women are being injured by competing against men.

By Jennifer Sieland July 23, 2024

Three trans-identified males were on the winner’s podium at a race in Washington last week, marking the first time men won first, second, and third place in a women’s race.

The Marymoor Grand Prix is an annual track bike race at the Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome in Redmond, Washington. The venue is known for its strict “no bullying” policy, which warns that it will not tolerate any derogatory remarks or criticism towards racers. The warning has become significant in recent years, especially as relates to protecting athletes on the basis of their “gender identity,” as males have been known to regularly compete in women’s races at the track.

The Grand Prix was no different, as at least three men were present in the female category during the women’s Madison race, a high-speed, two-person relay. During the race, one partner from each team starts while the “resting” partner pedals slowly along the top of the track. Partners exchange positions by pulling even with each other and then relaying or “slinging” the incoming partner into the race.

At least three Madison teams at the Grand Prix featured one female, and one male who identified as a “woman.”

Jenna Lingwood, Jordan Lothrop, and Eva Lin were the three men recorded as being present on Madison teams, and each had previously competed with other men.

Lothrop, a cyclist from Canada who had been racing with men as recently as 2023, came in first place with his female teammate. In second place was Lingwood, formerly James, who is the women’s masters 40+ national cyclocross champion, with his female teammate. And in third was Lin, who used to race as Henry Lin for San Jose State University’s men’s team, with his female teammate.

The wins were first highlighted by a women’s rights advocate on X who monitors males self-identifying into women’s cycling. The user, @i_heart__bikes, sarcastically questioned why the three teams with males beat out the all-female teams.

“I wonder what gave those teams an edge over the 100% female teams?” She asked.

An Australian football club for “self-identified women and non-binary people” has been dominating women’s competitions, just weeks after concerns were raised about the safety risks to actual female players. The Flying Bats Football Club in North Sydney has at least five males who identify as transgender on the team, and has previously been accused of causing career-changing injuries to female competitors.

As previously revealed by Reduxx, one of the five men on the women’s football team is trans activist YouTuber Riley Dennis, who was previously accused of severely injuring women while participating on another women’s team in the region. But the Flying Bats attracted even more controversy earlier this year after audio recorded during a March 20 meeting of the North Sydney Football Association was leaked.

During the meeting, Frank Parisi, president of St. Patrick’s Football Club, described another incident in which a female player was so severely injured by a trans-identified male Flying Bats player that she was no longer able to participate in the sport.

“A couple of years ago, one of the Flying Bats players broke one of our players’ legs in a game. It was a clumsy tackle from behind. Our player had her leg broken in two places and she’s no longer playing football. It was a direct result of a real bad, tall player… he didn’t get a red card. Accidents happen, but this could have been avoided,” Parisi was heard saying in audio that was released by Reduxx on X.

SNOW DAY!

Because of inclement winter weather, Special Collections, along with the rest of the university, will be closed today. Some of us will be working from home, while others might use this opportunity to take a snow day and enjoy the time off (although to be honest it looks pretty bleak out there right now). Nevertheless, with the expectation that it might turn into a full-on winter wonderland, we offer this children's book from our Historical Curriculum Collection: Josie and the Snow by American educator and children's author Helen E. Buckley (1918-2001), with Illustrations by American artist Evaline Ness (1911-1986), published in New York by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. in 1964.

Buckley's story is pleasantly simple: a family's day-long rollick in the snow. Ness matches this simplicity with illustrations informed by her career in commercial artwork. Helen Buckley began her career as an elementary school teacher, earned a doctorate in education from Columbia University, and was an English professor at the State University College of New York at Oswego when she wrote this book.

After a long career as a fashion illustrator and model, Evaline Ness began illustrating children's books in 1951. She was at the height of her children's illustration career when she illustrated Jose and the Snow, receiving Caldecott Honors in 1964, 1965, and 1966, and finally receiving the 1967 Caldecott Medal for her own book, Sam, Bangs & Moonshine. The name "Ness" might sound familiar, as she had a colorful, 5-year marriage to Eliot Ness of "The Untouchables" fame.

John Lothrop

Artist: John Durand (American, active 1765/1782)

Date: c. 1770

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

John Lothrop

Rev. John Lothropp (1584–1653) – or Lothrop, or Lathrop – was an English Anglican clergyman, who became a Congregationalist minister and emigrant to New England. He was among the first settlers of Barnstable, Massachusetts in 1639.

Lothropp was a strong proponent of the separation of church and state. This idea eventually became the mainstream view of people in the United States of America, because of the efforts of Lothropp and others. Lothropp influenced the culture of New England, and through that, upon the rest of the country. He has had many notable descendants, including at least six US presidents, as well as many other prominent governors, government leaders, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and businesspeople.

Sebastian Stan, Leo Woodall to Star in True-Life Thriller ‘Burning Rainbow Farm’

Justin Kurzel, who last helmed true-life tale 'The Order,' will direct the feature that is heading to the Cannes film market.

BY BORYS KIT

Sebastian Stan, Leo Woodall

Sebastian Stan, currently starring in Marvel’s Thunderbolts*, and White Lotus season two breakout Leo Woodall will star in Burning Rainbow Farm, the latest true-life thriller from Justin Kurzel.

Rocket Science will introduce the project to international buyers at the Cannes Film Festival next week. CAA Media Finance is handling North American distribution rights.

Per the sales company, Burning Rainbow tells the true story of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, a gay couple in rural Michigan who build a peaceful, pot-friendly utopia called Rainbow Farm. When the two run afoul of local authorities and their young son is taken from them, a standoff ensues, leading to one of the largest and most dramatic sieges involving police and the FBI America has ever seen. Stan is playing Crosslin, Woodall will play Rohm.

Tommy Murphy (Holding The Man, Significant Others) wrote the screenplay based on the book by Dean Kuipers. The siege took place in 2001, just days before being overshadowed by the events of 9-11.

Producers include Nicole O’Donohue, Kurzel and Alexandra Taussig for Thirdborn, as well as Adam Shulman of Anonymous Content, Alix Madigan of Mad Dog Films, and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel of Votiv.

“Burning Rainbow is a love story about two outliers who raise their middle finger to hate and declare ‘This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us’,” Kurzel said in a statement. “I’m excited to create this loveable and courageous couple with Sebastian and Leo, their union will be one to remember.”

Kurzel is no stranger to true-life stories, having directed last year’s well-regarded thriller The Order, which told of white supremacists acting as domestic terrorists in the 1980s and starred Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult.

The story has captivated filmmakers for a few years now, with a previous incarnation of the project having Lenny Abrahamson (Room) as director.

Stan, who last year earned rave reviews portraying Donald Trump in The Apprentice, is repped by CAA, Brookside Artist Management and Sloane Offer.

Woodall, who earlier this year starred opposite Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, is repped by WME, Hamilton Hodell, Anonymous Content and Goodman Genow.

Kurzel is repped by HLA Management and Sloane Offer, while Murphy is represented by Cameron’s Management and Range Media.
