Book Description
S.D. “Doc” Regan, writer of maritime and nautical affairs, ineptly taught himself to sail upon his retirement as a professor and university dean. His original dinghy provided ample opportunity to capsize, founder on rocks, end up on the lee shore, and embarrass the alleged scholar in front of large crowds. Despite his scholarly papers and books, Doc sardonically proffers a humorous voyage through his trials and tribulations manning the helm. Described as the “worst sailor still alive to tell the tale”, Doc and his dinghy, ZONONA, and his West Wight Potter, GENNY SEA, have plied the lakes, rivers, and ponds of Iowa and Minnesota creating an inundation of laughable experiences. Boat builders and skilled sailors shake their heads and mutter that no one is THAT stupid. Always considered a bit of a class clown, Regan has baffled nuns, teachers, professors, and academia with his humor and self-deprecation. He has regaled many dock-side bars with his hilarity and wit as well as university gatherings. He is often sought as a speaker, especially by military and veteran groups. Doc has written “In Bitter Tempest: the biography of Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher”, “Pioneering Spirit: the history of Upper Iowa University”, and multitude of naval historical articles ironically because his doctorate and specialty is educational psychology to which he has written two dozen professional papers.

Book Description
As the wheels touch down on the runway at Belize's international airport, an old Buddhist saying skips through Amanda's mind; "Make the truth your island, make the truth your refuge; there is no other refuge." The life she's worked so hard to achieve has crumbled. Amanda needs a refuge; a safe place, time for bruises to heal, a space to assess the damage and gain distance from the barrage of events that nearly ended her life. To friends and coworkers, she said, "It's time to pick up the pieces. Two or three weeks alone on the beach in Cancun, soaking up the sun and visiting blue fish on the reef, should do the trick ... then, I'll return to Chicago, get back to work, and search for an apartment." She knew that was a stretch. Sorting through lies, deceits, and her disturbing dreams would take time, but heaped on top of all that is the pain from the tragic loss of her closest friend and her broken marriage. It would not be a simple vacation on the beach, or that after it, like magic, life would return to normal. Normal was over. Her true destination is a private island off the coast of Belize, far from the crowded Avenida Kukulkan in Cancun, and even farther from the danger of those that might have followed from Chicago. As she steps onto the hot tarmac in Belize, she knows — life has changed forever. Just not in the ways she had imagined. *contains profanity. Amanda J.

Book Description
Still hounded at every turn, Roland and his team limp home to find Dockside in turmoil. Clandestine corporate operations have weakened the treaties between Dockside’s gangs just in time for a disaster at the docks to shut down Earth’s mightiest marketplace. On the verge of economic catastrophe, Gateways Inc. lands an army of corporate troops to seize control. Criminals and corpos make for a tense pairing, and it’s only a matter of time before something breaks and the shooting starts. Not content to wait for that to happen, OmniCorp springs for a little extra muscle. The only surviving full-prosthesis cyborg in the galaxy shows up to have a go at New Boston’s most famous fixer, and a fair fight is not how this shooter likes to operate. It’s a full-metal slugfest as all the players collide on the streets of New Boston for one final bloody showdown. But what is all the fuss really over? Lucia has her doubts about the corporate line, and even her father seems to be hiding important information from her. As their losses mount and total destruction inches ever closer, the fixers will have to uncover the real reason all these MegaCorps are brawling it out in their backyard. The fires of corporate warfare are raging across New Boston, and only Roland Tankowicz and his group of misfits can stop it before all of Dockside burns to the ground. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire, and New Boston’s least favorite army-surplus cyborg has brought his matches… Time to light a BACKBURN.

Book Description
I write haiku when I’m feelin’ blue and when love and pain make me want. Join us on a journey through the pain of betrayal, divorce and after... We love the traditional Japanese haiku format of 17 syllables on 3 lines: 5-7-5. It is very symmetrical, terse and disciplined. However, these are not your great grandfather’s haiku. This is Modern American Haiku. We do keep the fundamental format, but that ’s all. For one thing, we give them titles, which we believe helps the reader focus on the punch in each haiku. Second, there is word play. Third, there is the extra dimension of the images in which the haiku are embedded or by which they are framed. We believe the reader will be amazed at how well the illustrations deepen the haiku. Ted and Patricia

Book Description
In this time where children are fighting the battles of low self esteem and self worth, this book will be the equivalent to a refreshing glass of water to those who are thirsty or a breath of fresh air to those who need to breathe. It is my hope that this book will rekindle the fire of a declining American art form. This book is about healing. It contains essays, poems, and insights into dance and it works in a powerful effective way to change the quality of the individual's life experience for the better. Through dance, individuals can display pride, self-expression, and identity. For the students of Dr. E. Alma Flagg School, the history of Modem dance will speak to them personally, as well as culturally. A dance would look quite different without the influence of the African and Latin contribution. Throughout history we have discovered how dance has enabled people to communicate their thoughts and ideas and provide comfort in times of sorrow and misery. I Dance Because.... Is a gift of comfort, peace, hope and inspiration. Page by page you will feel the passion and heartfelt thoughts as dancers describe the reasons they dance. Mrs. Pope has enlisted the talents of many individuals, from many different places to speak to one thing that they all love, DANCING!! She serves as a teacher truly committed towards the promotion of her students as well as her art form. In a short time, I have witnessed her transform some of the most challenging students into individuals who believe in themselves and work diligently to meet her approval. She is truly an asset to our school and I applaud her efforts in compiling this extensive volume of information to motivate the next generations of dancers. Roy T. Wilson Principal Dr. E. Alma Flagg School
