ASHTON RECALLS By Ashton Hester MILLION LABELS NETTED DAR SCHOOL A NEW VAN IN 1992 - (The following story was in the November 11, 1992 issue of the Keowee Courier). . .The Tamassee DAR School has exchanged 1,135,400 labels from Campbell's products for a 1993 15-passenger Dodge van. . .Representatives of the Campbell Soup Company and Friendly Dodge of Seneca presented the keys to H. Dean Bare, the DAR School's Director of Administration, at a ceremony Monday morning. . .This climaxed a drive that began 18 months ago when the school began saving labels for the van in conjunction with Campbell's "Labels for Education" program. . .Local residents along with members of the Daughters of the American Revolution from across the nation provided labels. Some labels were printed in French, Spanish and Japanese. . .The 1,135,400 labels, which filled 60 boxes weighing over 800 pounds, was the fifth highest number collected by the 25,000-plus participants in the 1991-92 Labels for Education program. . .Campbell awards about eight vans per year to organizations that save the required number of labels. They award a variety of less-expensive prizes for fewer labels. . .Tamassee DAR School began participating in the Labels for Education program in 1984, and in past years it has received microwave ovens, a large-screen color TV, computers, and other appliances. A microwave oven requires about 15,000 labels, and a large-screen color TV requires about 25,000.

The Honeycomb Project: The Honeycomb Project has been established to increase our knowledge and understanding of who we are in the Lord, our purpose and destiny in our Creator, our authority in the Lord, and why some of us are not fulfilling that purpose and destiny. Proverbs 16:24 “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” We meet on Tuesday nights 7pm-8pm. I will send a Zoom link if you send me your email address or cell phone number. You will need to download a Zoom app on your phone, computer or ipad. Our FB group is called The Honeycomb. My FB is Martha Loftis Watson. Call 843-992-0393.( “Miss Loftis” was a teacher for many of us at T-Salem High!)

Thoughts on the Teacher Shortage: It might not be about the money. It might be about an unrealistic work load causing you to leave a job you loved that once filled your cup. Money does not fix unrealistic expectations. L Martin HOMEWORK: Studies show that students from private schools have higher academic success than those from public schools. Do some homework and study where the real gap is!

JOTTINGS FROM JEANNIE: Reflections on Emily Bronte's LAST LINES "Though Earth and Man were gone And sun and universe ceased to be, And Thou, Divine Creator, were left alone Every existence would exist in thee." Remember the COLD WAR? For most of our lives, it seemed a real possibility that a nuclear Holocaust loomed on the horizon. Friends, it's getting ugly and hateful again. I offer you this gemlike gift of poetry to commit to memory and tuck away in your heart... What ever lies ahead, GOD'S GOT THIS... Happy Thanksgiving! We can all feel blessed that providence brought us to dwell in Oconee County! Love, Miz Jeannie

Today hit me sort of hard. Caucus elections day has always been so celebratory and fun with them all trapped in that room, family and staff coming in and out, the pizza, etc. Ofc it’s on Zoom just like everything else but it’s my first big reminder since Easter that we really aren’t able to see people.

We got Paul! I don’t think any of us were expecting a picture of him, even if he was around, so that was a definite plus today.

I know that it’s hard not being able to meet up with people in real life, but we need to look at where we are now compared to Easter. Two vaccines are reporting really good stuff (and one is partially funded by Dolly Parton!!), and more are due to report. We’re getting better at treating this damn thing too. Not meeting up with people is a really rather small price in the grand scheme of things - it’s life saving. Wear a mask, keep a distance, do a low key Thanksgiving and Christmas for one year, and we go into 2021 with science finally starting to win the battle. That’s sort of miracle when you think about how long vaccines can take. The mumps vaccine, so far the quickest ever, was four years in development. This curse of a virus is only a year or so old, and less in terms of mass infection on a pandemic scale. Yeah, things can feel gloomy - and the dark days of winter don’t help - but science!! Science is fucking amazing. And Trump is “working” his notice period after being fired.

“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.” – Dolly Parton

It’s safe to say that Dolly Parton, the brains behind the song “9 to 5″ knows what she’s talking about when it comes to work-life balance. In our team dynamics meeting, guided by our excellent coaches, we came to the conclusion that perhaps our team needed to address our work-fun balance. The transition to online working somewhat took away some of the ‘fun part’ of Premium and when our team entered a Zoom meeting we really only talked about work. Premium is about completing a project, of course, but it is also about enjoying the process and building relationships with team members.

To combat this, we’ve tried to bring some more joy into our meetings. You’ve read about our prompts of sharing what we’re thankful for, and we try to keep doing some related sharing about what’s new in our lives. We had a team dinner/game night (virtually of course!) with each of us ordering delivery food to wherever we happened to be. We then played some games on Zoom. If your team is looking for some ideas, check out this article: https://www.denofgeek.com/games/best-zoom-games/ Above you will find a snapshot of what our Pictionary game looked like! Any guesses as to what Maria Alejandra was drawing for us?

‘HOW TO ADAPT THE ‘NEW NORMAL’

'CHANGE' – We have regularly heard this word. Change is inescapable. Now and again it tends to be positive and at different occasions it very well may be agonizing. The most exceedingly terrible changes are those that are sudden and wild, similar to the ones which we as a whole are looking during this pandemic. Things may never return to ordinary and we need to produce another typical and adjust the changes.

1. Life Has Changed

Accepting the current circumstance is to adjust to 'New Normal' and join the progressions in our daily practice. As said by Dolly Parton, "We can't immediate the breeze yet we can change the sails." The Journey of Life had encountered a remarkable change in different exercises of everyday life. In the wake of going through an intense period of lockdowns, countless passings, we are here to relinquish our old ordinary and to adjust to what in particular is by all accounts the new typical life. There are various limitations and key movements to our better approach forever. We should perceive what new typical is and how to adjust to this way of life.

Individual and Social Hygiene

Cleanliness has unexpectedly acquired significance in our lives. Probably the most secure measure to save ourselves from the pandemic is to follow individual and social cleanliness. We need to wear covers when we get out of the house. However a bit choking out we need to acknowledge the demand of wearing a cover out in the open as this is a significant wellbeing measure and new typical of today. Veils shield us just as others from getting contaminated. Social separating ought to likewise be considered as the new ordinary of life. The embraces when we meet our companions and family members have quite recently vanished. Presently we have grown better approaches to communicate our warmth and kinship by keeping separation. We are figuring out how to maintain separation, in any event, when we go out to shop. Individual and social cleanliness has become a piece of life and the new ordinary.

Make a Workspace

Work from home is turning into the new ordinary all throughout the planet. Work from home was a serious shock initially yet individuals are settling down with this recent fad. A tranquil corner is crucial for telecommute. Since WFH is the new ordinary, one ought to have a legitimate spot to sit during the functioning hours, not that one takes the PC and sits in any edge of the house, another spot each day. So have a legitimate timetable and an appropriate spot so relatives don't intrude on your work process.

Figure out how to Use Technology

Innovation is assuming a significant part in our lives during this pandemic. Be it requesting food or staple, a conference with the specialist, online classes for youngsters, utilization of zoom and other such applications have become an every day schedule in practically every one of the houses. Children of ignorant guardians have learnt innovation and are going to online classes. The pandemic has prompted social separating which has constrained us to follow different advancements in various fields of life. It is important to become techno wise to adjust to new typical.

So a routine must be made which has timings for the every day exercises, contemplates, office work and day by day tasks. Start and stop times will acquire discipline life and furthermore foster sound propensities. Life ought to consistently have a set routine easily and particularly when every one of the exercises are being performed at home. Focusing on work is an approach to adjust emotional well-being.

Figure out how to Draw Lines

Far off working accompanies a great deal of difficulties. However more useful external the workplace, the representatives are defenseless against long working hours. They are bound to exhaust prompting weariness and burnout. At the point when work and individual life are under a similar rooftop and a similar spot, defining fine boundaries turns into a monotonous assignment. It tends to be trying to get where these cutoff points start and end. Far off working likewise makes forlornness and a sensation of being away from the workplace climate and colleagues.One ought to figure out how to define boundaries between close to home life and WFH.

2.Right Living with Ryt Life

The pandemic test will move away yet during this eliminate we might get focused or discouraged. We might succumb to pressure of progress. Stress makes a weight on body and psyche and a few of us might think that it is hard to adapt to this pressure. Change permits us to develop new qualities and assess our needs throughout everyday life. Life changes continually bring a ton of encounters and feelings. These may be smooth for a few and may be rough for other people. We may likewise confront outrage, melancholy or issues with connections as the whole family is under one rooftop nonstop.

Connections might get influenced. In case you are feeling concerned or stressed because of any of these issues, then, at that point you can simply contact Ryt Life which is a psychological prosperity stage. It helps in interfacing with confided in analysts and therapists in a virtual meeting, whenever and anyplace. It can assist you with disposing of negative feelings like discouragement, nervousness, stress of life and so on These meetings will likewise assist with developing the unsteady connections.

3.Adapt to New Normal

Over an extended period of limitations and lockdowns to forestall the radical pandemic, we have been confronting difficulties in adjusting to new typical. Things won't resemble previously so it is better that we acknowledge the current conditions and adjust the new typical. 2020 has effectively been reserved as the 'most noticeably terrible year' of the century. It has brought a great deal of calamity and passing's and furthermore a ton of limitations. Acclimating to change is testing. There has been vulnerability over the economy, travel, work, schooling, way of life and so on during the previous few months when the pandemic was amassing over the world. Difficulties are looked in each field of life which is going through the period of progress. We people are known to be strong. We can adjust to any circumstance and figure out how to get by in any new typical in the event that we chalk out a customary daily practice and a couple of guidelines in our standard life. We can detect that our 'ordinary' won't return, essentially not in a couple of more months or a year. So we can hardly wait for the ordinary. All things considered, we need to adjust to the new typical. This might be troublesome and testing however as people we become accustomed to the schedules and can likewise defeat difficulties. This pandemic might end sooner or later of time yet we will have our practices and ways of life completely changed by then, at that point. We would have figured out how to adjust the new ordinary. Stephen Hawking said, "Knowledge is the capacity to adjust to change".

Waiting For The Host By Marc Palmieri Is A Play About The Healing Power Of Theatre

This review is dedicated to all the kids who grew up with a drug problem...drug to church, drug to Sunday School, and drug to prayer meeting every Wednesday night. @DramatistsPlayS

By Ricky and Dana Young-Howze

Review: 193

I may be the best person alive to review a show like “Waiting For The Host” by Marc Palmieri. When I was but a wee cisgendered hereto lad I was not only Baby Jesus when I was a month old, I was in the Easter and Christmas plays every year. I sat on a Church Council for three years as a Creative Worship Coordinator before I moved to New Jersey to get married. Plus Dana and I have been on church committees together and we have now reviewed over a hundred digital shows during this pandemic. So when we were given a chance to watch several productions of this play that is heralded as the first published Zoom play we were ready to dig in. Here’s what we think:

Source

The script seems very dated which will be a blessing in thirty years but might hurt the play’s chances in three years. It feels very much like a time capsule play and in a few years we may be having shows in-person and want to forget about Zoom for a while. However in thirty years people may be ready for a play that lets them peek into the shop window of history. Although hearing about it’s rich production history and it’s upcoming performances we may be totally off base. The script seems to be poised to soothe the soul and provide a good vehicle for actors of all skill levels to take a stab at it. Shakespeare probably never had the foresight to know Romeo and Juliet was going to be played in every high school but Palmieri sure did.

Source

We do know for a fact that this was written very early in the pandemic because we have been writing digital theatre reviews since March and we have never seen a two act Zoom play. If there was such a thing as an industry standard for something like this we would have said most Zoom plays never go over 90 minutes. Good news is that each act only seems to run for 45 minutes each so there’s really no harm done here. The digital theatre audience seems to have a very short attention span right now but Dana and I could follow the action just fine.

The act breaks did seem to restart the story in our heads. The first act did seem like it was a complete play all to itself but that was probably because it was a one-act originally. The second act does seem like it just tacked on in some places but the emotional arc of it all does give it a pay off. If you played these separate acts even weeks or a year apart I don’t think that we would mind or even notice.

This is very funny and cathartically so. If you’ve been a part of a Church before then you know what this play is all about. You have never really worked on a Church board unless you have contemplated murder. The church is like theatre in a lot of ways. However if you’re only time in church has been sitting in the back pew with grandma every Christmas and Easter (or if you’re not religious at all) you will still enjoy this play. Of course all of us who have lived through quarantine will get chills during many moments of this lovely show.

As far as characters there is a lot of range here. Effie is the heart and soul of this play! She’s a mixture of Dolly Parton and everyone’s grandmother. You can tell she’s our personal favorite. However all of the characters had us laughing and crying simultaneously. What resonated with me is Pastor Theodore and the weight on his shoulders. I have had to sit with Pastors who just came from hospice rooms and funerals so I also know that side of it. You’ll go home a changed person seeing a Pastor cry.

All in all this play is touching and thought provoking and gets all the praise from us for being a play written in the moment and for the moment. It doesn’t conform to a lot of the structure we’ve seen in other Zoom plays but when we’re reviewing a high school production of this in a decade I doubt we’ll remember or care. What really matters is that we need more plays like these passing through publisher’s hands and getting published so we can advance digital theatre in the American Canon. We need to get past novelty and become permanent fixtures. It’s only that way we’ll start to see lasting change in the theatre landscape.

Quarantine Q&A

The endlessly kind @pigeontheoneandonly tagged me like 2 weeks ago, but I’m always on mobile and that makes copy/pasting weird, so I had to wait until I had the non-work PC out and booted up to write this.

Are you staying home from work or school?

Next week will mark 4 weeks working from home. I am endlessly grateful to have a job still, and especially one that allows me to work from home. The changeover itself wasn’t too hard, and on days when I’m able to focus, I probably get more done at home than I ever did in the office, as I am not distracted every 30 seconds by either faculty stopping by to harass me about their issue du jour or students banging in and out of the suite asking where the testing center is (directly behind them, across the courtyard).

So far the University I work for has pivoted to online classes through June 30th and any research that can be done remotely is allowed to continue. If they decide to cancel or limit fall and/or end all research, then I imagine all non-faculty employees (aka, me) will likely be furloughed.

If you’re staying home, who’s with you?

No one. It’s just me. I think this might be why I’m kinda losing it. I keep trying to befriend the lizards on my porch, but they keep running away.

Are you a homebody?

I thought I was! But the reality is more complicated. I’m used to going on at least one weekend road trip a month to visit friends or family with a slightly longer beach or Disney trip every two months or so. Looking forward to those trips is really what keeps me going. Not having that...it’s been hard.

An event that you were looking forward to that got canceled.

I had a big beach long weekend trip planned for the first weekend in May with my two best friends. We don’t get to see each other a lot, especially because one is all the way in Texas now. We were supposed to do New Years, but I was broke because my house flooded in December, so this was supposed to be our reschedule.

What movies have you watched recently? What shows are you watching?

I watched Howl’s Moving Castle last night while trying in vain to work on a Tangled puzzle. HMC is a favorite, but this was my first time watching it on blu-ray, the animation is just gorgeous. I haven’t really watched any TV shows. I am nominally re-watching Fringe. Everyone keeps saying I should watched Tiger King, but I don’t know if I want to watch if there’s cruelty to animals?

What music are you listening to?

To hype myself up before work Zoom meetings, I have started playing Dolly Parton’s Jolene and singing along at the top of my lungs. It’s a bop. Other than that, the usual suspects of the Lumineers and Andrew Bird.

What are you reading?

I haven’t been able to settle down enough to read a lot, which shows what a state I’m in. I’ve got The Starless Sea open, and also an old copy of the first of the Star Wars EU Thrawn trilogy (Heir to the Empire). Oh and the 3rd Wolf Hall book, The Mirror and the Light, is open in the living room, too.

What are you doing for self-care?

I’m struggling on this front, to be honest. I know that I need to take good care of myself during all of this crazy, but I’m struggling on seeing the point and I’m feeling endlessly guilty for not doing/achieving/accomplishing enough during this time. I guess I ordered more coffee to replenish my supply so I won’t have caffeine withdrawal on top of everything. And every Sunday I have a little oat milk cappuccino and a trader joe’s chocolate croissant and sit outside on the back deck.

Tagging: I’m not good at picking people to tag. If you’re out there and you read this, then you’re tagged. I’m mutuals with all the literally 7 people who follow me, so I am legitimately interested in how you’re doing if you’re able to read this.
