Hello, and welcome to Town Meeting's TV coverage of Town Meeting Day 2024. This program is part of a series of forms that we are bringing you in advance of Town Meeting Day on Tuesday, March 5. Town Meeting TV hosts forums with all candidates and covers the questions that you see on your ballot, introducing you to community decision makers, and connecting you with issues that shape your local community. You can find all of our forums at cctv.org slash 2024, or on our Town Meeting TV YouTube channel, where auto-generated captions are available. On tonight's program, we will hear from two candidates running for South Burlington City Council. Those candidates are Linda Bailey and Lori Smith. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. We've prepared a list of questions for each of you, and you will have 90 seconds to answer each of them. If you are tuning in live, we also welcome your questions in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you call in, we'll do our best to prioritize your questions, though we do screen calls to ensure that questions are not repeated. We ask that you share your name, the town you live in, and that your question be directed to all candidates, not just one in particular. Now, let's get started with one-minute opening statements. We'll start with Linda. Now, tell us why you're running and what makes you qualified to serve on the City Council. Okay. First off, thank you for everyone who is listening to us today or in the future, and thank you Sky and Town Meeting TV for having us. My name is Linda Bailey.  I have a whole batch of grandchildren. I want both South Burlington, Vermont, and the world to be a place where they can thrive and have a good life. I've been getting ready for doing this for the last two years. I've attended all sorts of City Council meetings, as well have attended a lot of the other committee meetings, so that I have a large amount of information, and I'm ready to hit the ground running on day one. Thanks. Great. Thank you. Go ahead with the same question. Sure. Thank you very much for having us here, and thank you, everybody, for being here tonight. I've been watching South Burlington grow for the last 14 years. I love South Burlington, and I'm grateful the direction of the growth and the thoughtful vision for our city's future. I'm very impressed with the work of the City Council and impressed with the awesome skill and professionalism and passion of our city leadership team. I'm qualified because of my background and skills as a builder and a lifelong business owner in Vermont with extensive municipal experience. I've held seats on the Shelburne Development Review Board, have been a municipal auditor for South Burlington Fire District number one for the past 10 years, and I'm currently a South Burlington Planning Commissioner. These skills will enable me to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to realize the goals that have been outlined in our city plan and our climate action plan while focusing on equity and fiscal responsibility and protecting our open spaces and natural environment. Right. Now, our next question is, do you support the proposed city budget of $64.9 million and associated 5.82% tax rate increase, and are there any aspects of the city budget that you would have liked to see changed? And we'll start with you, Laurie. Okay. I support and will vote yes for the city budget. The City Council worked hard with all departments to contain costs this year. They reduced the original draft budget, which was in excess of an 8% increase to 5.8 after facing intense inflationary forces between payroll, health insurance coverage, and COVID to mention a few. In real dollars, the 5.8% inflation budget adjustment or budget increase adjusted for inflation. This budget represents our city's operating budget on essentially a flat budget over the last five years. It contains critical investments for our city. It includes a second ambulance for our public safety. It includes a deputy fire chief, a new deputy fire chief, a new police deputy chief, and a new public works director, deputy director. All needed to support these essential services. We all want lower taxes and have to realize that continued urban sprawl and lower taxes are incompatible. We must focus on creating vibrant, livable, walkable, mixed-use communities. This is one reason the city plan focused on smart growth development. Fantastic. Thank you. And Lynn, the same question to you? Absolutely yes. I will be voting for this year's city budget. Next year I hope to do some more work on it, though. I think there are some places like the cost of our staff that are absolutely, we have a fantastic staff. We want to keep them and reward them so that they will stay here. Other places we need to look at are they needs or are they wants that we are looking at in our city? I know that the city budget was kept to a 5.82 increase by using ARPA money to cover climate change infrastructure from the climate action plan. I totally agree that climate change is real and that we need to be working on it. But I think we need to take a close look at both that and other things that we're doing in our city and make sure that we're getting a good return on our money. I am on the frugal side and I promise to do that for the city now. Thank you. Now let's move on to the school budget. So do you support this year's school budget of $71.2 million and associated tax increase of 18.26 percent? And how would you address the challenges facing the state education fund and the impact on Burlington schools and taxpayers? And we'll start with you. Yep. The school budget is really hard. It came as a big shock to everyone what the results of the 127 Act that is changed how our funding through the state is happening. A lot of that this year certainly is going to depend on what the state does to try to rectify some of that. This sort of an increase is going to hit a lot of the pocketbooks in South Burlington really hard. A lot of people like myself are on fixed income. I think that one thing that we could do for going forward in the future is see if there are ways that the city and the schools can practice synergy to do things together so that the full cost doesn't land on either one. Schools are at the heart of a community where our young people learn and learn about our community and our members. We need to support it and I'm happy to. Thank you. Go ahead. I will vote yes for our school budget if it's on the ballot on March 5th which is still in question surprisingly. However, this budget increase for our schools is outrageous and to me unacceptable. And almost every resident that I've spoken to while canvassing the city has expressed extreme frustration. The funding system for our schools right now is broken and it must be fixed. It's not the responsibility of the city council but the city council must actively engage with the school board, the legislature and the governor in ensuring that this problem gets fixed. For the sake of our taxpayers, for the sake of our children and for the sake of our future. Excellence in education is the bedrock and foundation of our community and this issue will require all hands on deck to solve and I empathize with everybody who has frustration over this issue. Thank you. Thank you. Now let's talk about the water storage bond. So do you support the 5.75 million dollar bond to build a water storage tank in South Burlington? We'll start out with you, Laura. Absolutely yes. We're in your capacity with our water storage for our city system and more capacity is needed. Public Works Department which is doing an awesome job has conducted careful analysis and have decided that two identical tanks equal resiliency and cost efficiency and will allow for flexibility for our system going forward. So that's a yes. You get a yes from me as well for pretty much all the same reasons that Lori just gave us. The tank that is currently there, it's our high capacity tank, it's at 98% usage. We need a little more redundancy in the system than that. So that if there's issues with one tower we have the other one to fall back on and just we're a growing city. We need more water. Thank you. Great. Now let's talk about policing. What does effective policing look like in South Burlington and Linda we'll start with you. Okay. We have a pretty good police force. Captain Burke works very hard and very well with other entities in the city. I know that his biggest challenge right now is strictly recruitment. They could fill a few more seats and they wouldn't be stretches then. I find from talking with him and others that a lot of the problems that the police are dealing with now are actually social service type of issues from drug use mental issues and that which takes a lot of time. We are working with the Howard Center to help with these, when these calls come up I'd like to see us exploring even more ways that we can help support our police department and our freerler citizens. Thank you. Lori. Yeah. So our South Burlington Police Department is what effective policing looks like. Chief Burke and his officers are an exemplary police force focused on compassionate community facing public safety. Their coordination with the Howard Center for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Support is an example of their excellent work. And they're really in need of support from the criminal justice system in our state. Repeat offenders are often moving through a revolving door. We need to appropriate, we need appropriate detention, intervention and rehabilitation to alleviate the frustration for our police and our community. And I fully support everything that our police department is doing. Now, where do you differ from other candidates in your proposed approach to the opioid crisis? And what are the most important initiatives South Burlington can undertake to address this crisis? And we'll start with you, Linda. Okay. As I mentioned in the last question about the police system, social services are a big part of it. I don't really have a opioid and addiction platform and I don't think I've heard of anything particular in the city going on. I think our best bet is to reach out to the experts, find out what are evidence-based ways to help the citizens in our community. Thanks. Lori? So it is a crisis, the opioid crisis, and it's a systemic national problem. And for us to deal with it in our community, we need to have a multi-pronged approach. We need to really find out how to get the drugs off the streets. We need to address how the drugs are getting to our city. We need to deal with the dealers and distribution. On top of that, we need to have effective addiction treatment, rehab, and support in helping our addicted citizens rebuild healthy lives. We need mental health support for those who are vulnerable. And we need early intervention education and mentoring for our at-risk residents. And this is going to be a problem that's going to take a lot of effort for us to get a handle of and hopefully get solved. Thank you. I'll shift gears a bit and talk about development. Now, what is an example of development in South Burlington that you're proud of and what role should the City Council play in guiding new development across the city? And Lori, we'll start with you. Thank you. I'm particularly proud of City Center and, in particular, City Hall with its library and community center. And the connection of City Center to the redevelopment of the University Mall is going to really have an impact on what the outcome of that project is going to be. It has the potential for inviting, being of an inviting, vibrant, dynamic downtown. We can have a park, restaurants, shops, pedestrian focused and family oriented. We want it so that people want to work and live downtown. We need to maintain focus on completion of the TIF district, provide needed budget funding to help offset, which will provide needed budget funding to help offset taxes. The City Plan 2024 is the guiding vision for development. And the City Council is responsible for implementing that plan, which is focused on creating vibrant multi-use neighborhoods throughout our city. We want walkable, bikeable, open spaces, neighborhoods where we can work, shop, recreate and live with less reliance on our cars. We need to focus on quality of life, which is what keeps our city vital. And protecting our natural resources will keep us desirable. Thank you. Okay. Development in our city. Has Laurie said City Center is one of our newest pieces that is being developed now? Some buildings are already up. The buildings that are going to, that are planned to be added are about 650 new homes. Those are buildings, however, already being built in conjunction with UVM and will be mainly for grad students, hospital personnel, things, people like that. So we need other types of building going on in our town for people who are going to be permanent residents. That's one thing the O'Brien Farms, which though I know it still looks a bit new and raw, is going to be a beautiful place. I would like to see the city develop more park space. The city owns and controls a lot of land. I'd like to see more of it develop as usable park space for all the new residents that are coming to our city. Thanks. Now, the newly adopted 2024 South Burlington City Plan states to meet the city's climate goals, the community needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2030 and by 95% by 2050. So what will you do as city councilor to pursue these goals? And Linda will start again. Start with me again. Okay.  One of the biggest issue, generator of them in the state by about 48% is transportation. So we're not going to solve that all by ourselves. This is one of the many places that I think working regionally with other cities and towns in our area will get us the best bang for our buck. Whether it's from the social service needs, whether it's retail theft, whether it's climate change, all of those are not things that stop at the city's borders. They are cross-border and we need to work together on them. Thank you. Laurie? I agree with Linda, but climate change is actually a global as well as local crisis. And South Burlington emissions reduction will not have a big impact on global CO2 emissions. That it will prepare our community for a fossil fuel free future and make our communities more resilient as our climate changes. We need to reduce energy use through focused conservation efforts and citywide weatherization of all buildings. We need to increase renewable electricity production and make it accessible to all residents. We need to increase electricity service and reliability. And we need to ensure that energy efficient construction and reduced building sizes are a focus of all our new buildings. We need to move space heating away from fossil fuel use. We must focus on equity and affordability so that these measures will be accessible to all our residents. And we have to focus on transportation. We need to work with regional partners to develop efficient, interconnected public transportation system, create fully connected bike, ped and transportation and recreation network and focus development on infill and higher density, vibrant, walkable and interconnected neighborhoods. Great. Thank you. Now let's talk a bit about that transportation. So sometimes there's a trade off between accompanying car traffic and making the city safer for bikers and walkers. So do you think that the city needs more bike bus and walk for friendly infrastructure? And how would you improve South Burlington's transportation infrastructure and systems? Yep. Our bike and ped committee has done a lot of work and improved a lot of the walking areas. They've added crosswalk signals on Williston Road at JC Park on Patron Road and other places in the city. We have to face it though. We are a transportation through place for a lot of the businesses in the area. The college, the hospital, places down in Burlington, south and north of us. So we do need to figure out how to manage our main transportation corridors and keep them still safe for the people who live here. I believe that there is a task force would be a good way to get any information we don't already have, but we have such a good city staff that I suspect they're already in the works with that sort of stuff. The things like the new bike and ped bridge crossing 89, that will help people get across from what is really something that cuts across the ability of most of our residents to reach Burlington or Burlington to reach our area. So I think that will be a big help in our transportation. One of the other things that I would like to see is perhaps more bus transportation within our city. I think it might be able to be done best by using small vehicles like SSTA uses to take people around. We don't always need full-size buses going in and out of the different neighborhoods. But if it was available by the smaller routes, it might be something that would be very useful and help cut down transportation. And again, regionally, can we have places outside of the city where that would be a hub for buses to stop and pick up people who park their cars when they drive in from Jeffersonville and St. Albans and the different areas that people are living these days because they can't find housing close enough to their jobs. So a multi-pronged approach might be best. Thank you. Laurie? Drivers, bikers and walkers, currently infrastructure is focused on car transportation. And this needs to change if we're going to change how we all move around our city. We need to make it safer and more convenient for our walkers and bikers and focus on reducing traffic, especially the number of daily car trips taken by our community members. The bike pit infrastructure needs to be completed, both on and off our streets, and we need to work to develop an easy and convenient public transit system. So it becomes easier and more desirable for our residents to utilize these other modes of transportation. In developing the transit system, we need to coordinate with our regional communities to ensure that the systems are effective, interconnected, and efficient. Thank you. Thank you. Now, data from the American Community Survey shows that about 4% of South Burlington's population, or roughly 800 residents, speak little to no English. How can the city meet the language access needs of its residents? Laurie? Can't meet first. I got that one right here. There we go. Language access. The city of Burlington has language access policy that I think would be an important document for South Burlington to review. It includes language identification tools, in-person interpretation services, and written translation services. Unfortunately, as with any additional city services, language access services would be subject to budget constraints. To envision a consistent and comprehensive approach, the city could designate an employee or volunteer from the community to begin to identify language access needs within our city. Laurie, great points, and I basically agree with them. Though in today's world, with the computer translation that's available, I think that adding that sort of program to our city website would be one place to start that hopefully would be relatively inexpensive. The biggest part is finding out which languages that we need, and that's one of the data collection things that we have in place to use. So basically reaching out, finding out what languages do people need things in, then making sure that those tools are available on our website and available for meetings, and then letting people know that they're there. That's often the biggest part is people don't realize that a service is there until you reach out to them. Great, thank you. As a candidate and an elected official, how would you gather input and balance differing perspectives from your own constituents? And how would you ensure that you're hearing a wide range of voices and not just the loudest ones? Linda, we'll start with you. Yep, I think that reaching out to the community is one of the biggest things that we need to do. It is unfortunately the loudest voices that most often get heard. I would like to set up something where they're into the public realm. Front Porch Forum I think reaches a lot of people, though we'd have to check if that was viable, and put a brief synopsis of what upcoming city council meetings are talking about, the results of the last one, progress reports on big projects in the city in places that people can reach them. I'd also like to see something like listening sessions done at various times of the day and the week, perhaps using one of the library rooms, could make a good place to do that. Thank you, Lori. Great points, Linda. Thank you. My goal when I'm on the city council, if when, is to remain in contact with our residents. I plan on creating a support team to help me without reach and provide feedbacks from areas throughout the city. I will encourage residents to attend council meetings and get involved in our democratic process by volunteering for one of our committees or finding other ways to engage and make sure their concerns are being addressed. I will also work with our city staff who are working hard on improving our two-way communication between our residents and government. I'll seek creative solutions to our city's issues through collaboration, seeking common ground in conflict and striving for consensus. Great, thank you. Now for the last question, could you tell us a little bit about why you care about your work, why you care about and want to work as a city councilor for the community of South Burlington and what are your favorite spots and why do you live here? Lori, we'll start out with you. So, I've lived in Chittenden County for almost 50 years, and I've lived in Burlington, Shelburne, and now live in Queen City Park where I've lived for the past 14 years. I prefer South Burlington by far. It's perfectly located between the lake and the mountains, has easy access to all the services and amenities that I enjoy, and has enabled me to leave my car parked in my driveway for days at a time. I have parents, believe it or not, children and grandchildren all living in South Burlington or close by, and I love that they are attracted to the beauty and easy access to open spaces and recreation that I enjoy. I am dedicated to protecting our open spaces and ensuring that our city increases its resilience and adaptability as we face these escalating climate issues. Thank you, Linda. I am a native Vermonter. I've lived both in LaMoyale County and for the last 20 odd years here in Chittenden County, the last dozen here in South Burlington. I like it here. It has, as Lori said, it has all of the amenities and the things that you need. We are in the heart of the highest concentration of both jobs and services in the whole state. It makes it a very desirable place to be. My family lives in the area, almost all of them here in Vermont. Some of them just a five-minute walk away from where I am. So that's another draw for me, of course. One of my favorite places in the city is my back deck, where I can hear the kids over at J.C. Park all summer long practicing their football moves, having softball games. I go by and kids are playing in the sandbox and on the children's climbing toys. There's teenagers playing in the basketball court. That's such a great hub and I want that for all the places in our city so that everyone has a community space like that in a quick walks distance. Thank you. And if you'd like, we can do a quick 30-second closing comments. Sure. All right. Linda, we'll start with you. Okay. There have been a lot of ideas and issues talked about tonight. It's good. We need to air the issues and know what's going on. What we need, though, going forward, is to look at things through the lens of what is our cost-benefit return. We can't spend our money on painting a tree blue when we need to paint a crosswalk on the roadway. So we need to look and think about what we're doing and how it's going to affect the bulk of the citizens. Great. Lori? I absolutely agree that we have to be very careful with our budget and focus on how we spend our money and make sure that it is being used for the best interest of all our citizens. And that has to include thinking about how our future is going to unfold and how we make sure that we are both resilient and adaptable to the significant changes that are coming our way. Climate change is not an option in terms of being addressed, and we need to focus clearly on that as we address all the other primary issues of importance to our city. And thank you all very much for being here tonight. Yes, and thank you both for being here tonight.

So my name is Steven Shetman and I have been part of the CWU Des Moines major since its inception in 2004, I believe. And this is Dr. Pereira, Leanne Pereira who is going to deliver the presentation today. She's been here for five years and she went to Central in Ellensburg as my grad assistant and thesis student. So we are longtime friends and she's such a whiz that after those experiences I hired her to work here as quickly as she finished her PhD. Actually in the middle of it. In the middle of it. And she finished a year early which is really incredible because this job was open and closing rapidly. So she's a major success story. And I think just to jump in, so I can speak to, I'm also part of the online, I teach half online, half in Des Moines and then I went to Ellensburg. So I can answer questions about, you might have about any of the three settings or options for you guys. The presentation is super short and there's two of you so you can have, ask all the questions you want at the end and we'll try and make sure you at least have everything you need to make a decision. You good? And I'll try again if there's any other question I do work online and also in Ellensburg. Right. So there was one little slick there that most of this information is taken from. Do you guys both, I can just ask you now. Are you both already studying some parts of psychology? So you're kind of aware of the jobs that are available in psychology in the fields. Generally you think it's like the human services or you think of things like helping professions can be in schools, clinics, community outreach. The psychology really kind of lends itself to that and we think of that naturally. But I think it also lends itself well to working in businesses. Things like human resources, things about transitioning it into and from work or industrial and organizational psychology. So I think sometimes we think about the kind of narrow field of psychology where we do counseling group or individual but there's lots of fields that are available for students. And so you'll see as we'll go through some of the courses we have courses that do speak to the traditional ideas of psychology but also things that can prepare you as well as having minors for other fields that use the skills from psychology. Does that make sense? Okay, I'm going, the toggle thing isn't working so I'm going to click over this way. So again, these are just some of the ideas of jobs. I'd say in the last three years I have students that worked for the Department of Health after graduating, the Department of Human Services. I've had students that are in human resources. They're doing case work, case management, they're acting social workers all with a bachelor's in psychology. So there is options to get into the field straight from your bachelor's degree. We'll talk about grad school a little bit later. And then also my background is in educational psychology so I look at a lot of educational impacts of learning in psychology. So I've had students that have ended up working in special ed and studied things more to do with the context of schools. And so their experience at Central has kind of led to them being able to work in the schools. Do you want to add to anything? No, I'm right with educational psychology, I'm an organizational psychologist as an example of the multiple areas that you can come from and go into. And go into. Okay, so we have two majors. The one that exists online and at Des Moines is the 45 credit major. So it doesn't mean you get to take fewer credits because the other one is 60 credits. It just means you take a few more electives that might be outside the field of psychology. Okay, so you are required to have a minor. So this is one of those instances where if you're interested in something like human resources or business or other aspects of psychology, you would pull in a minor that might help you go towards that kind of career path. Okay, so you're still taking the same number of credits. You just take fewer psychology than you do an area, I call it an area of concentration. Sociology is a popular one. Some people double major with interdisciplinary studies and psychology. So you can take a nice smattering of different classes across liberal arts and sciences, and that can go through your interdisciplinary degree.  Do you want to add to that? We at Des Moines have minors in sociology for sure. Law and justice, we call it, I think it's criminal justice at Highline, and then also business as well as human resources. So those are the, I would say, the most popular minors at Des Moines. Online you can do, I just noticed this today, we just started a minor in accessibility. Services, which is really, I think, a tremendous minor for psychology majors, and then also you name it. We have students that have earned minors in creative writing. So if you're an online student or you can earn an online minor, it doesn't matter where you are in terms of taking your major, there are a whole bunch of minors. Family studies is also very popular. So the requirements down here, this is talking to getting accepted into the program officially. So you need to have a 2.25 coming in, and you need to have taken Psych 101 and get a C or higher. Okay? Psych 100 here. Right. Well, what would be like 2.0? Yes. So you need just above a C, average. We really don't like to have students that have a 1.9 in Psych 101, because I bet you have to have a little conversation. And really, Psych 101 is a prerequisite for most of the other classes, and if you are struggling with the foundation of psychology, sometimes it's hard to do well in the advanced. So we like you to have a nice, solid understanding, and then you're able to kind of better jump to the higher level courses. Okay, 60 credit. The short version of this is that you have to take one extra class in statistics and research methods. So we have a sequence of statistics where you learn how to analyze data, research methods, where you learn how to design a study, and then in the last course for the 60 credit major, you actually conduct a study. And so for a 60 credit major, that is the major that's available in Ellensburg. It has a lab component, and so that really needs to be done in person, and then you need to do some data collection. So that is, right now, it is focused and concentrated in the Ellensburg campus. But that's the main difference for psychology. After that, you have a few more, you have a fewer number of electives, and you have to take extra credits outside of your core classes, which we'll look at in a second, to make up to 60 credits. Do you have anything, Steve? But you can see the grade point average and the minimum requirements are the same for both programs. It doesn't require a minor or other major, so that top line there should say it doesn't require a minor. We can delete that shortly. Okay. Yeah. This may be far-fetched, but is it possible to do, like, your whole, to do 45 units plus other related fields here and just go to Ellensburg just to do that? Yeah. So 363 was offered in Des Moines, and we just didn't have enough students that were taking it. So we had, sometimes I've had online students who then transferred for the one quarter to Des Moines to take 363 when it was offered here, and we actually have two students that went over to Ellensburg just for the quarter to finish up the 60 credit. I think some people make the decision at the beginning and then sort of realize, oh, maybe I don't necessarily want the larger major, maybe I want this minor instead.  You can definitely change to the 60 credit major and go to Ellensburg, and it's offered most quarters, and it's offered in the summer as well. So there's lots of flexibility if that's what you wanted to do. And fall is the nicest quarter in Ellensburg, which are the two students that are over there right now. You are like, where am I? The North Pole? Yeah. So they went over for one of them to do 363. She went over fall. And the other one is completing her minor in art. And so those classes weren't offered here, so for two quarters she's gone there to finish her minor, and then they'll both be back in spring. And the art minor student is going to then go into a master's in art therapy. That's her plan right now. Yeah, this is really important. When you apply to Central Washington University, you are applying to the university. You're applying to Des Moines, Ellensburg, online. When you apply the programs, you have a site, but it's pretty flexible. It's 100% flexible in terms of where you take the classes unless you're online. We have some priorities because we have a ton of online students, and they get first crack at it. My understanding at UW is that if you're a UW Seattle student that's taken to the University of Washington, Tacoma, or Buffalo. That's not the case with us. Washington State is the same. On their online, I believe you are in Washington State online versus Washington State Poland, or they have a Bellevue now. So being here at Des Moines, I've had students from Ellensburg who have come and taken the class because they happen to be on the west side for a quarter, so it can work both ways. Family issues, work, internship, so they just take something here. I've had students from Pierce campus who come to take something at Des Moines because they prefer to take it in person in that particular quarter. So there's lots of flexibility. Run out of money in Ellensburg and say, hi, mom and dad. I need to come back home. There's that, too. So these are just the general classes. This is the class I was talking about, the sequence. This is the statistics, and this is the research methods. These other two classes are kind of the bookend, getting you ready to finish the program here, and at the end, it's what did you learn in your time here. And so the other one is Psych 101, which you guys, or 100, which you guys have taken already coming in. So the official idea, I think it's not necessarily necessary. I'm the person who teaches research methods here. I think research methods is one of the hardest classes in the program, and I do think that people that have at least an introduction and exposure to it, in my experience, completely anecdotal, they seem to do a bit better when they get here because they've been exposed to some of the ideas and the concepts, some of the language, right? It just seems like a different language. So to come in, especially in a quarter system and then try to figure out the language and all of it and design a study, it's nice if they've taken it beforehand. So it wouldn't count for your methods. That's my theory, yeah. And I think particularly for different graduate school programs, they often look at some core classes and usually research methods across programs is one of the grades that they look at. So for me, in terms of being strategic, I'd kind of want that nice buffer beforehand and then come and take it at the 300 level. But you find as well it's one of the hardest classes, right? Yeah. And I think that's just kind of par for the course. We have 180 credits to graduate from Central Washington University. I'm pretty sure that's the case with UW because they're on quarter system. So every class that you take, that high line that's a higher level than 100 counts as credits toward your graduation up to 105. You can take, you can transfer it to CWU 105 credits from community college. So our students have 105 credits coming from here and they have five psychology classes and they're about great. It's just a body of knowledge. Just make sure it's like 100 is one of ours. Yeah, exactly. It's probably a prerequisite for some of your classes as well, right? Yeah. Right. Same. Okay. So we have our things organized by groups. Again, this is to give you that kind of broad platform to study psychology in general. And that doesn't mean that you are limited to taking one class from each group. If that's a particular area of interest for you, then take more classes. But to make sure that you guys have a foundation in all different aspects of psychology, we've broken down to groups. So you have to take one class from each of the groups and then you've fulfilled your core courses along with the other requirements from the previous slides. Then it's up to you. So for example, a lot of students want to take the introduction to clinical and community counseling. What is that? What's the difference between counseling psychology and clinical? I don't even know what community psychology is, but they're also interested in abnormal. So what happens is one of them counts towards your core, the other counts as an elective. So it's not wasted. You have to take electives anyways. So if you're kind of like, I want to take all three of these classes. You can. You're like, well, I only want to take one from that group. Well, you can too. If you want to take none from a group, well, we can help figure out what should be least painful for you, but you're going to have to take one. Do you have anything to add? No, it's just that what do you all think? Which of those groups do you think most of our students have more than one? They end up taking more than one. And then what would be the second most popular group? Group two. Those are the ones I teach. That's where you need the two and the three there focusing on what most people think about as the helping profession. Right. And so it says here total 45 to 60. This group is the same for whether you take the 45 credit or the 60 credit. So really it's only that one class, like 363, that's different in terms of the grouping and the core classes. So everybody has to do this. Okay. Let me say one thing before we move on. I wasn't sure what was next. Oh gosh, I forgot this thing. I forgot something. Psych 200 at Highline is developmental. And it's a class that all of the education majors at CWU are required to take before they start at CWU. It transfers in as an upper level psych 314 class. And that, so if you're in whatever you do, you're still going to need at least one elective class in either way. And so that's wonderful to have. So if you can take on top of the psych 100, if you can take psych 200, then you have a upper level psychology class that you can use as an elective in your major before you start. So that's the second one that's highly recommended if you have time in your schedule. Okay. Excuse me for a minute here. I have this wonderful thing that I didn't even check on. So this is just to give you an idea of some of the research interests. So I'll just speak a little bit about me. This is me in terms of self-promotion. So we have a service learning requirement to graduate. It's only 10 hours. It's mostly to get your feet wet and force you to get outside of a traditional classroom. And so you can do lots of things in the community, but one of the options you have is to do research with a faculty member. And so we give everybody in your psych 200 a list of the faculty, both in Ellensburg, online at the centers, and you can contact them and see if they're taking students. And it kind of gets you an idea of getting your feet wet in terms of doing a little bit of research. So I have students that are both online and in Des Moines that do research with me. They did their 10 hours, but now they're doing some of their elective credits, independent research. So some of them have their own projects. Some of them are working on my projects. And they go through the process and actually try and present these things at conferences. And hopefully some have been submitted for publication. Not accepted yet, but it's a way to actually have your name put on a paper or a poster, which looks really good for grad school. It's pretty uncommon, my experience has been, to be an undergraduate and have some presentations at the professional conference. So I work really hard to try and make sure that students have that. So I've had students present in Washington, D.C. at the American Educational Research Association. We've prevented in Montreal at the American Counseling Association. We presented at, I can't remember which city it was, but it's Society for Research and Child Development. And we're submitting to APA. And this year we've had some students present at the Western Psychological Association. And this year it's in Portland. So not only are we hoping to have people present, we're hoping to have a caravan of our club members and our psychology students all go down together to go and attend some of the conference proceedings there. That's Dr. Greenwald. Yeah, I was going to ask. Have a look up there and see if you can figure out who this person is. Get out of the way, Steve. Which one of those people is it? Yeah. And I don't know if you can all see this or not. That is a real brain right there.  But that's a real brain that he's holding. He's one of our wonderful, relatively new faculty. He's not new. I had him in grad school 10 years ago. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did. Well, that's relatively new compared to me. Yeah. It's all relative, right? It's a new faculty committee that can be your children. You know that. So Dr. Greenwald is another example. He teaches at Ellensburg. He has a research lab there, but I know students that have done research with him online. And he also teaches cognitive psychology online. And he lives in Sammamish. Oh, no. Snoqualmie. So we used to get him to come here to teach cognitive. It turns out that driving to Ellensburg from Snoqualmie is easier, much of the time than driving here. But every, like, we'll get ready to plan next year again. So I'm working on him again because he's not only obviously very bright and knowledgeable about the brain, he also is a very good teacher. Anyway, this is our, hey, what do you think? So this gives you an example of the different types of research that people do.  Actually, our IDS program director, Professor Cynthia Engels, she teaches cognitive psychology here. And actually one of my students, they have to do a presentation. She's like, I think I'm going to bring in a brain and we're all just going to touch it. So we actually did the same thing here, where the students did dissect the brain. Savannah. Of course. Yeah. So I've talked about research. The other thing at Des Moines, which is nice, some of the centers don't have that. We have Angie Engels, who is one of our career counselors and facilitators. And we've had students that have gone out and done internships. You can do them for credit. So if you're doing volunteer work or community work, you can actually get credit for it. And she has all kinds of connections in the community. She comes in and teaches us how to do informational interviewing. She puts on workshops. But I've had students that have gotten from their volunteer or their service learning have gotten either jobs or internship opportunities, or at least some more volunteer work and reference letters, those much needed reference letters for life after your bachelors. She's a really great connection. And she's just in the building. Yeah. It's not on here. But what Leanne is talking about is psychology. You actually earn credits in a class, which is the number of psychology 490. And you can earn one of the same. I think they've changed it now. I think it's for every 30 hours of, it used to be 40. I think they changed it to 30. So every 30 hours of volunteer work is equivalent to one quarter, one credit. And so some people have chosen to take a quarter off and just volunteer full time. You can get paid as well. And you get whatever credits. But she works with you to figure out what the agreement is. Sorry. We can't mute it. It's my email that's pinging. Probably with students wanting to know about their research. Where are you? That's why I should have muted it. Yeah. So this is Dr. Bender. We have permission. I had some pictures of students. And then I realized I should probably ask permission before I post them presenting at conferences. So this is Dr. Bender. She is our online program director. And so if you choose to go the online route, she's the one that will help you plot out which minor to take and how to navigate, including taking into account some of the flexibility and options you have. Dr. Shetman is the online advisor for the minors. So if you decide to do psychology as a minor and a different major, you'd have Dr. Shetman. Any other general questions? Snohomish. She lives on that farm. I was going to post the picture of her riding around on a tractor. But I didn't. I tried to tell her to have her APA manual on one hand and ride the tractor on the other. So her background is in counseling. And her research area is in cyber supervision and sort of more online practices, both in terms of treatment and in terms of supervision for professionals. So that's kind of the area that she does. And she is 100% online. So she literally has a space in her house. Yeah, she has a dedicated office. Her work space. Anyway, she's great. And so I think just personally anecdotally again, people are kind of like, well, I need to go to Ellensburg to get the real degree or I need to go to center or online. They're all the same. You can get the degree from that. The requirements to get in are the same. Once you're here, the courses you have to take are the same. Research can be done online or in person. Internships can be navigated no matter where you are in the state. So if you happen to be an online student, you can find an internship where you're living and people can still help you facilitate that. So don't feel like you're restricted geographically. It doesn't really matter. You're going to get the same requirements and the same opportunities. Wouldn't you say? The odds are that you would be closer to any of the campuses than Sarah Bender is. Yeah, chances are. And I will say I'm the faculty sponsor for the site club at Des Moines. And it used to be just the Des Moines site club. Then it was the West Side site club. And now it's West Side and online students. And we're finally got it functioning so you can actually attend the site club meetings from home. You can just Skype in and we have a link for it. We have a Canvas site. Do you guys use that as your platform? We have a Canvas site. And you just log in if we have information about an event. But you can just log on and log in the meeting. So Dr. Bauer is coming in next week to do a suicide workshop. And we're hopefully going to have that online as well. And so people can just join in online. We try to do one kind of community thing every quarter. We already did an APA workshop, Writing Boot Camp. Because it's one of my, say, pets. It's my pet projects to have everybody be better in terms of their professional communication. We did an Excel workshop. We did a coding workshop. We did diversity training. So every quarter we try to have something. But we're trying to make it accessible to online students as well. Yeah, come along. All right. You want to speak to dual admission? Yeah. The person, are you picking out my voice? Yes, sir. George, should I be standing over there? You're good. Okay. This is a program that you may have heard of. Have you heard of this? Have you? Have you? Have you heard of this? I haven't heard of this. Okay. Unfortunately, it hasn't been, it hasn't taken off like we were hoping to. It would.  Second year? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They didn't mind A-A. You already have completed your A-A. This is my last quarter. Okay. If you're really committed to CWDU and particularly a particular degree, you can get into this dual admission program and essentially be a high-line student toward Green River or wherever. And then also have a central advisor at the same time who can help you like, okay, well, would this be a good class to transfer in at some point? And from a financial standpoint, it's great because you'd waive the admissions fee. But you know, we really have, I think the, you can only have, is it up there? Once you get 60 credits, you can't do this anymore. So you really got to decide, really, I think that's why it hasn't taken off like the powers that we wanted it to do. One question? Yeah. What would happen if someone, suppose they had 45 out of 50 credits and they applied for dual admission and so they got into both, so they could take courses, talk to people, but then after they had 90 credits, they decided, well, actually I'd rather go to UMCF. That's fine. No problem. Because then you weren't officially applying to Central anyway. So you didn't apply? No, if you ever make a formal, complete application, you don't pay the application. So that's your situation to be absolutely fine. You're conditionally accepted, but you're not formally accepted. So once you decide to formally accept, that's when it becomes... So is there a special dual admission application? Yes, it would be on the site. We have Becca, I was hoping we could drag her up here, but she was not, she's with a whole bunch of students today. We have a person whose name is Becca, Rebecca Winn, spelled like... Yeah, lots of Winn, these days around here. And she is our general advisor. So if you happen to, let's say you have a hundred and some live credits at Highland, but you haven't finished up your Associate's AADTA Direct Transfer Agreement degree, then you would work with her to finish that. But I will say she's here only through the end of winter quarter. So if you have questions, ask quickly, because we don't know who the next person will be. I'm hoping that whenever she leaves, that she'll leave a... So if you have an email to her, it will come back, but please see... Yes. ...whoever it is. Yes, sir. So who would... What kind of student would want to do a dual admission program? Someone who wants to go to, for example, CWU and UDAL at the same time? No, no, this is a student who would be going to Highline and CWU at the same time. Highline or community. But informally, so you would have sort of a... your current advisor here and then your future advisor lets you officially... Basically, it's to help the transition be smoother. So you do your first two years here, but during that two years, you're getting help for the place that you think you might go. So things like which courses are accepted and which programs things offer. So what do you think... We can make sure you're getting the things you need in your two years as opposed to students that do the two years on their own, come in and then realize, oh, I should have taken this or I should have taken that. Right. Or let's say, you know, I really like criminal justice. I think I may be heading that way. Who can you refer me to at CWU that can help me when I cycle forward? So it's really not a etched and stalled commitment on the part of the student. It's just another resource that you'll have available to you, and $50. Submit. Yeah. And can you take courses at CWU also at this time? I don't know why not. Honestly, we can... You can. You have to apply and register as two separate registrations, two separate student IDs, that kind of stuff in terms of... Because I know we've done it the other way. Students that didn't quite have the C-Avergence 101 have to enroll at Highline. But then you... This doesn't kind of streamline that communication between the registration process. It's just in terms of advising. There are financial aid implications, too. So I think if you're on financial aid full-time and you need 12 credits, I don't think you could split it between two institutions at this point. But we do have a financial aid advisor on site at Des Moines Central does, but some of the other sites don't. There's also online financial aid, but it's nice to be able to stop in and talk to somebody here. And they're really good at figuring out what can you split, what can't you split, what are the rules for being at Highline and at CWU. We have Central has Pierce, Linwood, Yakima, Wenatchee, Moses Lake, and Des Moines as centers. And we're not biased at all. But Des Moines is... In bias or no, Des Moines has the best student support service It's the largest of the centers. And so there's more structure and support in place to have things that are on site. And the most diverse set of majors and minors also. But we're not biased. I think that we've got over and that's it. So I'm just going to mute this now so my email isn't pinging. But I'll pull up this slide because this might be the one that you have questions about. But does anybody have any general questions for either? I guess so what happens if you apply to go to Central? And they, like, credits don't match up. Like, you don't have... Like, I know for UW, Highline doesn't have like a 202 or 209. Yeah, so there's a whole giant catalog that your advisor helps you figure out as to which numbers transfer in which... So you guys take Psych 100. We know it's Central. It transfers in. And you've got credit for Psych 101. So there's some classes that are like that. So you guys take your developmental Psych 205 or 209. And it comes in as 314. We know that. There are some classes that don't come in as a specific course we already take. That doesn't mean it can't count towards the credits you need to graduate. It just comes in then as an elective. Right? We have two categories that are called lower division site, upper division site. It doesn't match up with one of our numbers. It still comes in as lower division site. Okay. And you do need to get to that 180 credits anyways. So it still counts. Yeah, and there are some courses that... Let's say that you had a little trouble wrapping your arms around math. And so you took math. I don't know when it starts. One of our colleagues took six math classes before she got to 100 level. And those don't count at all. Those will come in as non-transferable. Unfortunately, the chemical dependency classes here don't count for... I don't know why, but that's something I've been trying to figure out for 20 years. Whatever those are are non-transferable. But my hunch is that everything that you're taking here other than the chemical dependency and some of those intro math classes, math prep. It's usually the exception rather than the rule. Most things transfer in as an elective. But if you were in the AADTA, you don't have to match up. Let's say, you need a laboratory science, right? So let's say you take a chemistry, what would it be? Your 100-101 with a lab. And that particular class would transfer in to central as chemical, chemistry 101. But sometimes astronomy, for example, might count for your natural science here. And we may not have a direct equivalent at the central, but it doesn't matter if you earn the AADTA degree because your general education requirements are all done. So that's why, Becca, if you come out of here with a couple classes to finish, you usually get the advice to just finish your AADTA degree while you're at the central. It's the easiest way. It's the easiest way. It's the easiest way than trying to go, okay, well, central needs this and this and this. Let's match them up. It's better to just get the AADTA degree. Yeah. Is there a catalog that we can look at right now to batch the classes? No. I could show you. You want to try to go on? Are we online? Here we are because you're e-mailed. If you go into CWU.edu, okay? And then you do a few e-mail messages. That's just from the last two hours. Academics. I think it's your next stop here. Here? Admissions. Okay, yeah. Go to the admissions. Transfer? Transfer, yeah. And then down there, you can find transferring your college credits. Washington State credits. There, right? Okay, there's the policy. If you go to Washington State credits over on the left. On the left here? Next one down after the one you're on. Here.  Right there. And you can find if you click on accept where it is here. Click here to view our equivalencies on the second line. Yeah, there's a million of them. Yeah. Yeah, and they used to have a search where you could actually go to each college. And it's a different search. Let me see. Highline. Oh my gosh, those were all college. I'm so blind I thought they were courses. So this can tell you whether it's non-transferable. Yeah, this used to be a little more. So go to psychology. If you go to, yeah. See, a lot of these count for, like, this is a, this is a good example here, I think. I think any of you had this 206 anthropology? Something like that? Because this is a class that a lot of students at Ellensburg take. Anthropology 130. So that's a direct transfer. There's a lot of these, actually. If it isn't a direct transfer, like these independent studies, you'll come in as Leigh-Anne was saying, ant-LD lower division. It still counts as your 180 credits. So I see a normal 220 if that's transferable? It will be as a, that's good. Let's try to find psychology. Let's try. This used to be a lot easier than this. I think you can search at the function at the top, but it's... There's all these business. Okay. There we go. Okay. So all of these come in as lower psych-LD. So they meet, they are credits toward the 180 that you need. So the question you asked about earlier about the research methods, it'll come in as an elective. Yeah. It's a requirement here, but taking it at 200 level at Highline doesn't meet the requirement. So it comes in as an elective. You still have to take the 300 level at Central. Yeah. That doesn't mean that you haven't learned something and you can put it to good. We have a question for you. I transferred to a school in Baltimore and said she was the only student who found it to be really easy. Yeah. Because she had it before. But you have to take it again just like here. Yeah. But I think I would never try to dissuade somebody at Highline for taking the all of us psych-LD. Actually I'll be especially with this faculty that you have. I'll be finishing up shortly here to teach research methods at 3 o'clock. So if you're ever bored on a Monday and Wednesday and you want to just drop in to research methods, feel free to come to my class. When do we offer a research or a spring quarter? Although we probably in here in July switch. It's going to be once a year when we base into the quarter. What is it once a year? Because we're going to have enough enrollment to do more. And it's pretty low enrollment even then. We usually it's not I don't know if it's ever more than 20. One quarter once a year ahead but usually it's 14. And what are your other classes usually like in terms of size? Yeah. So at Des Moines when you said 20 I'm like that's really big because right now I have 21 students for research methods and that's almost full because it'd be 25 and online it's usually 25 as well. So that's the most number of students you have in an online class. Is this your fullest or one of your fullest classes? I'm not a social general. It's only for BAS students. Basically. Oh the social side? Oh okay. So the other class just while I remember that I think is really helpful to transfer in if you're even a sociology minor it's helpful to do this equivalent of sociology 107 which is social 101 110. 110, yeah. Because it's the I want to show you also why let me show you all math point. Yeah. One and that's confusing because sociology you can take 10 110 So it's this one so it's 101 it's 101 that comes in at 107 this is confusing don't ask me why this is the case but it is sociology 101 comes to sociology 107 that's the one you need if you have this class you only need 20 you need four classes to finish a sociology minor of any anything you want to earn the minor in sociology in sociology but see here you could take if you take the 201 it comes in here as sociology 101 so this is a little goofy however we have a colleague Michael Mulcahy he's a social minor advisor he often or whenever needed will substitute this but take this but I wouldn't count on that no you wouldn't okay so let's have a look at math math so if I I'll just jump in this is what he's talking about the little lower classes that might help you prep they are non-transferable so they don't come in as a specific course or even as an elective yeah but then you have some classes that do come in as specific classes at Central right and the one that this is if you're looking for a to fill a general requirement and with the easiest possible class that you can that's the one right there math 107 at which I'm sure needs to a lot of time right so if you're if you're like I want you know I want to get out of high line as soon as I can with a class will also end up transferring to CW with the same with a direct equivalency that's the good one to take now what do you need to get into math we used to have a prerequisite now it just says highly recommended so technically you don't need a specific course but I would recommend anything that is headed with this one the business 221 right that is a prereq for the business major if you if you any of you any thoughts at all about the business major there's like seven prereqs that you need and that's one of them this is a great if you need a math class take that and it comes in as business 221 and that's the best preparation for our statistics class good it's good to see you're getting all these advice so we used to require anything higher than this math 411 as a prereq for our statistics so we really like to have people take that that but it doesn't matter now because there's no longer that requirement alright so I think what else that's it for us prereq questions so let's let's have a quiz on the sociology let's say you want to take that a sociology minor at central which one which highline class do you want to take but no one right because it transfers into central as very good move to the head of the class move like this


Caringmoor is Wales' first regenerative seaweed and shellfish farm. We exist because we love the sea and we want to protect it for the future generations. There are a lot that's involved in doing something like this. We have these lines and buoys that's floating out in the sea, but underneath is where everything is happening. If you've got seaweed that's hanging off the lines, you've got cages that has our shellfish in and you've also got ropes that's growing mussels. That's why it's an ocean farm because we are growing multiple species in there, which in turns creates like a whole new ecosystem for the fish and nurseries for them as well. We set it up as a community benefit society to benefit everybody. It's attracted people who understand seaweed and shellfish farming and understand the compelling logic for developing the sector and also people who really want to do something about climate change. Coastal communities really rely on tourism and it's only a few months of the year that that exists. For us it was very important when we created Caringmoor that we can create full-time jobs alongside of that. By this and David's awards I think it's very good to raise the profile of what's going on because you want to celebrate it and encourage people and show people that it can do great things and there's nothing wrong with it. In fact it's wonderful to do.


No way we kick a field goal here. Agreed? Agreed. Do we agree? First thing going to five, he's only got one time out. Or down? I'm with it. I'm with the comms here, boys. I'm with the comms.  It is killing me tonight. I'll be honest. My line is killing me more than any other spy on the field, for real. That's what's killing me the most. But definitely the exact listener. I'm a pastor, though.  Oh, what the? You didn't see what I saw. You didn't see what I saw. Dude, this is something nasty. Hold up.  My line is just getting destroyed right now, boys. No, we're going to get post-ups. We're getting post-ups. We're getting post-ups. I don't care if I have 100K. We're getting post-ups. And we're getting Acrobat on Dawkins. And we're getting post-up. That's all I need this week. Yeah, my right guard is a gold. And then they have natural talent. I have edge protectors, but I have natural talent on my center and the other dude. I don't have post-ups or nothing. Oh my god, I tried to hit him. How do I get Blarker, dude? Bro, what is my outside line, babe? Like, this is such good defense. I mean, dude, Titan Attack is the best in the game, dude. Tackles?  This dude is cracked.  Oops, nasty, doesn't it? Well, I should just try to bomb it, right? That was the best Blitz I've ever played in my life.    Dude, my line is just atrocious. Like, they are getting just steamrolled. And I swear to God, they patched the game. They made them worse. They made them worse. Look, his inside stuff is just working, huh? I got him out of that defense. He's back to his Glitch Blitz defense, where he used the rushes. Oh, look at Jack Young Black, dude.  This is defense, where he just screams off edge. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What a glitcher. Well, 25 yards. Good job, Flat Zone. Good job.    I hate that. Five Wide is just OP.  Five Wide. Good sacks. OK, we got a Shetty Poo. Let's go, man.  He got two clocked on. Oh, I was going to call time out around 12. I should have called around 15. Oh, no. He broke out a different play. He broke out. He know how to. He know how to here. He know how to. Come on. Ah, good play. I went the other way. Ah, I went the other way. Bro, what is this, man?  So bad against the run. I've got to figure out what I want to run.  Quinnan, that's what I like to see. He know how to. No, he's going to come out in his wild. That's OK. No field goal. Let's go, man. No huddle. I don't love what I got here, boys. I don't almost want to call time out. That's why I hate zone drops, bro. I just wanted to, like, oh, my god, man. I just was worried about vert. Let's go talk. Go get that thing, man. Let's go, man. No seam streaks. No seam streaks. No seam streaks. Minka. No, no. Let's go, baby. Big catch. Come on. Money drop for the game. Let's go, man. Man covers, bro. Man covers. You know, the Super Boots, who knows what he got. Oh, my god. Oh, we got lucky. How do we get glitched on a tight end? How do we get glitched on a tight end? Like, there's no way, Madden. Bro, I'm really bright. Like, this is insane. We're sly. Like, come on. This is where I would love. I would love for Waddle to beat the man on his post. He's not blitzing here at all. It's cold, man. Did Waddle beat him? My, oh, Waddle was touchdown. I took Kirk. I had to take Kirk. It was fourth down. It was fourth down. Oh, I took Kirk, though. Come on, man. Little touch pass. You know, they don't teach that everywhere. I'm getting f***ing yummed at right now. This dude is sending the guy to everybody in the world at me. Ked, get you a Waddle.  It would be so easy. It would be such a touchdown with Calvin Johnson and Hester, whoever I got. But let's try to get outside left. Tech, tech, tech, tech, tech, tech, tech, tech, tech, tech. No way we kick a field goal here. Agreed? Agreed. Do we agree? First thing going to five, he's only got one time out. Four down. I'm with it. I'm with the comms here, boys. I'm with the comms. Even though I almost had a touchdown, that's cool. He's going to use the timeout after that. I just called my timeout, so I have to run here. I'm running right. This should be free. I'm telling you, unless my team sucks, it should be free. Like, look at Pitch. Oh my god. Pitch just got f***ed. What superhero do you f***? Have on defense, man. Oh my god. Like, he would not let me get outside.  Are you here? Have you been here before, Walter? I mean, he's going to send every person he's got right now. Sometimes they forget who they're playing against. TG, TG, TG.

Hello everybody, E here welcome back to Thursday theorist today. We are talking about cycle of the werewolf Yeah in kid from like the three of you out there that don't know this was Adapted into a an awesome 80s film called Silver Bullet with Corey Hain and Gary Busey in it. It was an amazing amazing film and it's also the one of the first ways that well one of the first movies that I saw that was Stephen King related in any way That one Pet Cemetery was the first one if you want to hear I didn't really watch that whole movie though But if you want to check out the story behind that one check out my top five Stephen King videos I'll link down there in the doobly-doo, but Cycle of the werewolf is so much fun It's one of those one of those introduction books where I remember Looking at the the gory just gnarly asked pictures in this book well before you know I I read it. I didn't care too much about reading the book I was I can't remember how old I was when I saw it on laying out on the My mother's night night stand and it picked up started going through it and just looking at some of the pictures and I mean things like the the image of the werewolves in the church The one let's see here. Let's see if I can find it I think it's actually really early on but one of my favorite ones is the lady who's doing her Who's contemplating suicide? I think yeah this one man this one That one was gnarly. I just I just remember wondering what the hell was going on in that picture Like I said, I can't remember how old I was but this is before I even read Dolores Claiborne when that came out I think it was 1993 I was 13. I believe when I stole that book out of the mailbox Anywho, but this one I go back to this one every every year about this time going at the run-up to Halloween And that's why I left this one for you know this time It's real there's really no significance to the dark tower with this one other than the fact that I can connect it with Tarker's mill and Chester's mill from under the dome that Chester's mill is the town that gets covered by the dome but The and Tarker's mill is mentioned in under the dome In fact, the I believe the two towns are called the twin mills If I'm correct if I'm wrong leave a comment down in the doobly-doo But up and I connected under the dome with my gray theory that I've that I've had ever since you know Carrie so if you guys want to check that out check out the video for Carrie for under the dome for Tommy knockers it any of those Thursday theorists I just have such fond memories about this book and most but most of the memories I have about this book has to do with the visuals Bertie writes in is long been One of my favorite artists. Sadly. He is since passed away as a recording this video. He's passed away, but His artwork is amazing the stuff that he did with the dark tower also the stuff that he's done For the fantasy and horror genre period the man was amazing But other than all of that the only connection that I have is the one to under the dome If you have any connections, I'd love to hear them down below I guess that's everything for this one I would like to know what is especially in the since this is a shorter video I want to know especially from you guys. What was your first introduction to Stephen King? Doesn't have to be book has never been but whatever it was whether it was something visual the first time that you ever Experienced not heard his name, but the first time that you ever experienced a Stephen King book movie a Comic book a graphic novel something like this whatever it may be leave your comments down there in the doobly doo Let's have a discussion, but until next time. I have any you've been you this been another Thursday theorist review I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye


I think we could have done better. We'll do better one. This will be a better podcast, okay. Hello, welcome to the Tightwad Dad podcast, episode 2. Uh, find a Neil. This is my son. Hello. I don't know if I should even mention your name, but I might as well because I know it's going to come out. Because everybody's going to feel like, who's him, who's him, who's him. There'll be loads of comments saying who's him. So do you want to introduce yourself? Yes, hi, I'm Jo. And I'm Neil's son. Alright, so this is the Tightwad Dad podcast. In episode 1, I explain what a Tightwad is, and you think that I am a Tightwad. I did say that I am a Tightwad dad. So thank you, that's good. Good. So my question is, do you think I talk too much about our money? Yeah, you want more. Because you think you're not earning enough. You'll get a better job. Can you think of more ways that I could earn money? Or that we could earn money as a family? Well, you know that system, 50p system, if we did that... Do you want to explain that? We're on holiday and we got these special 50p's and we thought we should collect these from the bank.  And if we did that enough a year, we'd probably get £200 a year doing it. So the idea is... That isn't going to happen, sorry. No, I interrupt you do. So the idea is that we can take... It's not just any old 50p's, they're the ones that look nice. Yeah, like Paddington, Peter Rabbit, Johnson's Dictionary. And then you could sell them on eBay for more than 50p. Yeah, you sell it for £1.50. Which is that three times the amount that it costs in the first place? Yeah, it's supposed to cost, but it's special. It's got a different picture on it. Shall we try that idea first, selling the 50p's? Yeah, and on the third episode, we should talk about... I'm not going to say it now, but we should talk about, you know, the looking under the... Yeah, that one. That's a tease. But you want to do that on the next podcast? Yes. I'm glad we've had this chat. Yeah, over a lot of people. Like, if they listen to it a lot. How should we end the podcast? We should say if you've got this far, why not subscribe? And leave a like. Please leave a comment if you wanted to know more what we should do next. Yeah, if you have any questions or ideas that we could try to make more money. Or we could just make stuff about what other people would want us to talk about. So thanks for watching, and we'll be back on the next episode of TightWord Deck. Bye. Can you please help my daddy get 1000 subscribers? Just click on his face. Thanks. Bye.
