This is a manual for choice making when couple relationships begin to suffer and difficult passages become more frequent. One assumption is that both partners intend to preserve and enhance the relationship they have formed. “COUPLE” is defined as a two-person relationship wherein each regards the other as “ SIGNIFICANT”! This would include special friendships, people who live together, people who are engaged, and people who are married to each other. The suggestions provided in this reading may also apply to colleagues, fellow workers, neighbors, and those of you who enjoy doing “Random Acts of Kindness” occasionally as well as intentionally. These ideas have accumulated since 1954, and have developed in design and teaching of a special course entitled “Facilitating Interpersonal Relationships” and Workshops at Miami University, Indiana University, and Eastern Illinois University. This work is intended for all of us who have hoped that all was well and discovered that it wasn’t, and didn’t quite know what to do about it. Stride firmly as you find things that may make positive differences for you and the significant ones whose hopes are blended with yours.

Stillwater Mysts

Growing up in West Milton, Ohio

By: Robert E. Saltmarsh

About these Mysts: They emerged as silent invisible vapors from the gentle currents of our neighborly river. We hardly knew they were there until cool weathers would demand appearance from them. As mists, they would rise, roll, or disappear on their own terms, but we would still barely notice them. Native Miltonians paid attention to our river only when she acted up with accidents, floodings or ice floes. At such times our mists would become our Mysts. We were a small town. Our dramas were meager or kept hidden from view until new Mysts would become our legends. Such Mysts would encase the Great Depression, the Fears we were not to fear, Days of Infamy, and the Second World War. Not only we children of the 1930s, but all good citizens along the Stillwater River were bathed by her mists, swept by her currents, and etched by the legendary Mysts formed as we concluded the first half of the twentieth century. As the fifty two members of the graduating class of 1949 were sweeping into the second half of our century, we had created some Mysts of our own. As a member of that class, with help from others, I have recorded my views of our passage into adulthood and the rest of our lifetimes.

Sovereignty for Survival

American Energy Development and Indian Self-Determination

By: James Robert Allison

In the years following World War II many multi-national energy firms, bolstered by outdated U.S. federal laws, turned their attention to the abundant resources buried beneath Native American reservations. By the 1970s, however, a coalition of Native Americans in the Northern Plains had successfully blocked the efforts of powerful energy corporations to develop coal reserves on sovereign Indian land. This challenge to corporate and federal authorities, initiated by the Crow and Northern Cheyenne nations, changed the laws of the land to expand Native American sovereignty while simultaneously reshaping Native identities and Indian Country itself. James Allison makes an important contribution to ethnic, environmental, and energy studies with this unique exploration of the influence of America’s indigenous peoples on energy policy and development. Allison’s fascinating history documents how certain federally supported, often environmentally damaging, energy projects were perceived by American Indians as potentially disruptive to indigenous lifeways. These perceived threats sparked a pan-tribal resistance movement that ultimately increased Native American autonomy over reservation lands and enabled an unprecedented boom in tribal entrepreneurship. At the same time, the author demonstrates how this movement generated great controversy within Native American communities, inspiring intense debates over culturally authentic forms of indigenous governance and the proper management of tribal lands.
