The Mystery of Devon's Pond and Other Stories

By: Shirley E. Wynn

Story 1: Alex Gabe and Calli Joe were true friends. They went to see if anything was going on at Devin's Pond. They were noticed after Calli Joe stumbled. The leader of the mermaids made them come to their queen they saw great things . Story 2: Billy and Sarah were two young kids with parents who had very little money. Their mom needed something from the store and needed to take the kids with her. While in the store, Billy noticed a bad dragon stuffy, and Sarah noticed a beautiful dolly. They both prayed to Jesus to send the toy angel--they had great hope. Story 3: A family relocated to Montana because that was where their father's job was. They settled in well. The twins, Dana and Dawn, played great basketball. They had a nice group. They practiced three-pointers and free throws. They got so good, they were playing for the championship with their rivals. It was a very exciting game! Barn burner! Great fun! Story 4: The great mystical train ride in the sky. The train operator yelled out for all to come: young, old, and of any nationality. They were invited to visit three destinations, and each would be a surprise. The places they went to, there were a few things to learn. They had snowball fights with kids that came from another country. They learned about fruit markets, guns and knives, and how to hunt and provide food. The dragon that had lost his fire was crying. When they were getting ready to leave, the dragon came running, and he was smiling because he had found his fire. Story 5: A mischievous fox who was young and just wanted to find adventure. Maybell the chicken that seemed to be in control of the chicken pen. Catfish Freddie sneaking around. And puts it right out there. Either you get caught for your mischievousness, or you can be our security in the chicken coop! What's it going to be? Finally, Freddie decides that he might get some respect, and so he said, "Eh, would love to be their security!" Story 6: A little girl of three years lost her parents. Was sent to an orphanage, and she wouldn't interact with people or kids. And then one day, after going to the kitchen, Annie Mae ran across the orphanage pet cat named Whiskers. He was a cat with very blue eyes and white long fur. She fell in love with Whiskers, and he seemed to like her too. He purred very loud. So Annie Mae and Whiskers were walking, when they heard some noise. Annie Mae tried to keep Whiskers' purring not too loud when she noticed a young boy. Jonas was his name, and he had happened on the orphanage puppy--his name was Bo. They both became friends because they had changed stories about why they were there. Most kids pray for someone to love them and ask them into their homes. Annie Mae and Jonas shied away from not wanting anything to do with adoptions. Read and see the great ending! Story 7: A sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Robertson, planned a field trip to the science museum in Astoria, Ohio. Mr. Gilbert was their tour guide. There were two areas: first was the space room, and they found it very interesting. After lunch break, a bathroom break, and a trip to the gift shop, they were ready for their second part of the tour--it was the dinosaur room. The guide was very informative, but when the tour was finished, Shana and Sheena were deep in thought about dinosaurs. Before they knew it, their class had exited the dinosaur room. The doors closed, and Shana and Sheena were left alone, not understanding why their teacher hadn't checked on them. It should be fun to see the ending!

Trails and Trailblazers

Public Education and School Desegregation in Lunenburg County, Virginia 1870 - 1970

By: Shirley Robertson Lee

Trails and Trailblazers By: Shirley Robertson Lee Following the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, this book provides a story of how Lunenburg County, a rural school district, in Southside Virginia transitioned - in the span of one hundred years - from a segregated to an integrated, unified system. The Lunenburg story is as important as that of its neighbor, Prince Edward County, although its transition is less dramatic. This story is part of what occurred in public education during this important chapter. As a life-long resident of Lunenburg County and former student attending segregated schools from the first to eleventh grade and an integrated school during her senior year, Shirley Robertson Lee offers a thoroughly researched and passionate study of public education and school desegregation. By the time segregated schools ended in Lunenburg County in the fall of 1969, it had been nearly fifteen years since America’s racially segregated school systems were found to be unconstitutional in the case of Brown v. Board of Education on May 1, 1954. The first totally integrated Lunenburg senior class graduated in spring of 1970. Shirley Robertson Lee is a member of that class. “Many people remember Brown v. Board of Education and think of that as the end of segregated schools in our country. The truth is, of course, infinitely more complicated. This book meticulously documents that transition and all that led up to it in one Virginia County. It is both scholarly and personal and will be of interest to educators and local government, but also to anyone who wants to understand the important history of mid-twentieth century America.” -STEPHANIE DEUTSCH, Author, You Need a Schoolhouse- “The telling of this story is important to Lunenburg County’s history; and I know that those who live here now, others who have journeyed from the County but stay connected, and others into the future will enjoy and learn from it. Shirley’s research was both thorough and very interesting in both the written word as well as her historical photograph collection. Well done and many thanks!” -STEPHEN S. ISRAEL, President, Lunenburg County Historical Society-

Love a La Carte

By: Dr. Shirley Jordan Bailey

This is not a "once upon a time" book. Life has been a fight. Each self-contained chapter is packed with revealing episodes of an extraordinary life. It is a sharing of her marriage, career, and children, and how love and sabotage lived as partners. In this book, I reflect on the life long friendships that sustained me through the years, and the world travel that has been integral in the enjoyment and enrichment of eight of Shirley's dearest friends. Portions of this book read like a travel log from the Carribean islands to the Great Barrier Reefs of Australia and the capitals of Europe. From the Great Wall of China to the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem, Shirley has shared meaningful memories with her friends. The book highlights her extraordinary children and their own careers as Ivy League trailblazers, as well as their lives and accomplishments. Also included are love letters to her amazing eight grandchildren, whose careers and ambitions span globally due to their early exposure to world travel. Between the anecdotes of her career and family life, the author shares "witticisms" of her parents and grandparents, favorite quotes, songs and humorous stories that are sure to leave you smiling. Also included are perspectives on challenges like Waiting, Electronic Devices, and even a day she overslept. This book shares the power of a positive attitude and is sure to stay on your nightstand as inspiring reading when faced with a need to overcome or persevere.

By: John Shirley

From the acclaimed author of Ralph Compton’s Prairie Fire, Kansas, the first in an action-packed new series starring Civil War veteran Cleveland Trewe, a master gunfighter, horseman, and lawman who’s looking to strike it rich in the gold fields of Axle Bust, Nevada… From the battlefield of Shiloh to the prisoner camp at Slocum, former Union soldier Cleveland Trewe has seen more than enough carnage for one lifetime. Now that the war is over he’s found work as a peacekeeper and prospector—the perfect set of survival skills for a town like Axle Bust, Nevada, a place seething with danger. Cleve’s uncle staked a claim in Axle Bust only to lose it to a murderous con-man partnered with Duncan Conroy, owner of the Golden Fleece Mine and a man determined to build an empire by means fair and foul. The only person keeping Conroy in check is his sister Berenice, a freethinker whose scientific education benefits the family interests—even while catching Cleve’s eye. To reclaim his uncle’s mine, and bring justice to a town under tyranny, Cleve finds himself turning the streets into a bullet-riddled battlefield. Conroy is about to learn there just isn’t room for both men in a town like Axle Bust. GOLD FEVER. BLOOD FEVER.

The Dream Weavers

A Novel of Early Archaic North America

By: Shirley G. East

Wind Walker has dreamed for seasons of a better place for his starving tribe. Once proud Bison Hunters, they must find another way to live in order to survive. Driven north by drought, they search for a place they can claim as their own. A place where the woodland tribes will not try to enslave or kill them. They reach the shores of Lake Superior, where tales of monsters and evil spirits keep their enemies from settling the apparently barren and cold land. They are the First Americans to claim this new land. The Dream Weavers portrays the life and death struggle of these First Americans while weaving in an abundance of adventure and romance. The novel takes you on a journey of discovery where Wind Walker’s people learn not only to survive but thrive. By canoe they travel along the edge of Lake Superior, where they are the first to discover copper in the Great Lakes Region. They experience the very edge of the continental glaciers north of Isle Royal where they see the last of the Wooly Mammoths grazing on the tundra. The story is set at the beginning of the Archaic period, more than 8000 years ago, before copper was first discovered in the Great Lakes region. The dependence on large animals is all but gone and the use of plants is becoming more important. In this new land they discover an abundance of food, friendly spirits to guide and protect them and most of all copper, the wonderful metal that led to the later development of the Wisconsin Copper Culture. The People struggle to understand the secrets held stubbornly in the raw metal. Only Wind Walker seems able to make the valuable copper tools that give them an advantage over their enemies, an advantage which they must work hard to keep secret.

Rochester

By: Shirley Willard,Fulton County Historical Society

The county seat of Fulton County, Rochester is a small rural town in north-central Indiana. Its history includes many famous people. Despite the mistaken trivia game answer, Elmo Lincoln, the first Tarzan in 1918, was born in Rochester, Indiana, not New York. And John Chamberlain, famous modern sculptor, was born here too. Clyde Beatty, wild animal trainer extraordinaire, lived here while the Cole Brothers-Clyde Beatty Circus had its winter quarters in Rochester in the 1930s. For a community with such a small population, Rochester has harbored more than its share of famous people.

Identity and Inner-City Youth

By: Shirley Brice Heath,Milbrey McLaughlin

What do effective youth organizations offer inner-city youngsters that schools do not? This book suggests that educators can learn much from inner-city social and youth organizations, which reach at-risk youngsters by developing a sense of family that many of them fail to get at home. Addressing a variety of issues—collaboration across organizations, the role of gangs in social control, the historical roles of ethnicity and gender in youth organizations—Heath and McLaughlin describe frames for identity that extend beyond ethnicity and gender.

Sweet Freedom's Plains

African Americans on the Overland Trails, 1841–1869

By: Shirley Ann Wilson Moore

The westward migration of nearly half a million Americans in the mid-nineteenth century looms large in U.S. history. Classic images of rugged Euro-Americans traversing the plains in their prairie schooners still stir the popular imagination. But this traditional narrative, no matter how alluring, falls short of the actual—and far more complex—reality of the overland trails. Among the diverse peoples who converged on the western frontier were African American pioneers—men, women, and children. Whether enslaved or free, they too were involved in this transformative movement. Sweet Freedom’s Plains is a powerful retelling of the migration story from their perspective. Tracing the journeys of black overlanders who traveled the Mormon, California, Oregon, and other trails, Shirley Ann Wilson Moore describes in vivid detail what they left behind, what they encountered along the way, and what they expected to find in their new, western homes. She argues that African Americans understood advancement and prosperity in ways unique to their situation as an enslaved and racially persecuted people, even as they shared many of the same hopes and dreams held by their white contemporaries. For African Americans, the journey westward marked the beginning of liberation and transformation. At the same time, black emigrants’ aspirations often came into sharp conflict with real-world conditions in the West. Although many scholars have focused on African Americans who settled in the urban West, their early trailblazing voyages into the Oregon Country, Utah Territory, New Mexico Territory, and California deserve greater attention. Having combed censuses, maps, government documents, and white overlanders’ diaries, along with the few accounts written by black overlanders or passed down orally to their living descendants, Moore gives voice to the countless, mostly anonymous black men and women who trekked the plains and mountains. Sweet Freedom’s Plains places African American overlanders where they belong—at the center of the western migration narrative. Their experiences and perspectives enhance our understanding of this formative period in American history.

Banged-Up Heart

Dancing with Love and Loss

By: Shirley Melis

Banged-Up Heart by Shirley Melis is an intimate and clear-eyed account of finding love late and losing it early—and of the strength it takes to fall madly in love a second time, be forced to relinquish that love too soon, and yet choose to love again. When her husband of thirty years dies suddenly, Shirley Melis is convinced she will never find another man like Joe. Then she meets John, a younger man who tells her during their first conversation that he has lived for many years with a rare but manageable cancer. She is swept off her feet in a whirlwind courtship, and within months, made brave by the early death of a friend's husband, she asks him to marry her! What follows is a year-long odyssey of travel and a growing erotic and creative partnership—until a mysterious bump on John's forehead proves to be one of several tumors in his brain and spine. The nine months that follow are filled with a life-threatening infection, three brain surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. Two years and one week after their wedding, John dies at the age of fifty-nine. More than just a love story or a memoir of mourning, Banged-Up Heart comes down solidly on the side of life. It takes you deep inside an ordinary woman, her deeply felt grief butting up against her desire for more than companionship: passion, sexual fulfillment, and self-realization. It bears eloquent witness to the wild trust it takes to fall madly in love and risk profound loss—a second time. Ultimately, it shows that it is possible to dance with a banged-up heart.

Re-Constructing the Book

Literary Texts in Transmission

By: Maureen Bell,Shirley Chew,Simon Eliot

This title was first published in 2001. Literary critics, textual editors and bibliographers, and historians of publishing have hitherto tended to publish their research as if in separate fields of enquiry. The purpose of this volume is to bring together contributions from these fields in a dialogue rooted in the transmission of texts. Arranged chronologically, so as to allow the use of individual sections relevant to period literature courses, the book offers students and teachers a set of essays designed to reflect these approaches and to signal their potential for fruitful integration. Some of the essays answer the demand "Show me what literary critics (or textual editor; or book historians) do and how they do it", and stand as examples of the different concerns, methodologies and strategies employed. Others draw attention to the potential of the approaches in combination.

Sweet Spot

125 Years of Baseball and the Louisville Slugger

By: David Magee,Philip Shirley,Ken Griffey, Jr.

Away from the game and the players for which it was crafted, the baseball bat is a sleek but humble creation. Yet in the hands of batters both young and old who have been stepping to the plate on diamonds around the world for more than a century, the bat is a powerful tool, capable of yielding lasting memories or making legends of a lifetime. And no bat has had more impact on baseball and the players of the game than Louisville Slugger, the tool of the trade used by millions-from the major leagues to college and youth leagues. In accordance with Louisville Slugger's 125th anniversary, the complete history of the bat, its impact on the game, and the ongoing story of Hillerich and Bradsby's family business is told in these pages. Blending firsthand stories from former and current major leaguers with details from more than 100 years of craftsmanship and contribution, this comprehensive history of baseball's bat and its impact on America's game is a must-have and must-read for anyone who has ever stood at the plate waiting on a pitch-or watched as a fan-hoping for a miracle.

By: Shirley Parkin Porath

In the summer of 1916, Mabe, and her family moved from central Utah to join Papa in Copperfield, a small settlement near the town of Bingham, and the Utah Copper Mine, The Hill, where he was head guard. His participation in the man hunt for the famous killer, Lopez, and his efforts to uphold the law earned respect for his bravery and honesty. Mama gained the love of her neighbors as she comforted women whose husbands were hurt or killed in the mines, offered protection to a neighbor whose husband beat her when he was drunk, nursed neighborhood children with serious diseases, and served in the war effort group during World War I. Mabe helped her family save their home from a fire and watched a fight in the coffee house next door erupt into a murder. Mabe, who had difficulties in school, dreamed of becoming a good student and making her mark in some positive way. She overcame those problems and succeeded as a leader in high school, but experiences confirmed her observation, Females are just as good as males, but they arent treated fairly. She embarked on a quest to change that and to show women could be as outstanding in sports and other endeavors as men. As a switchboard operator, she handled hundreds of calls during a devastating avalanche in the area, and returned in a sleigh filled with bodies. She witnessed floods and mining disasters, and experienced Prohibition, the Great Depression, and two world wars. As she helps us learn more about this fascinating place, we watch Mabe grow, with encouragement and support from her family and neighbors from many ethnic backgrounds, from unsure girlhood into an outstanding, confident woman who was far ahead of her time.

No Other Help I Know

Singing in the Key of Faith

By: Shirley Brantley

In a homespun vernacular all her own, Shirley Brantley narrates this true tale of struggle and triumph. Her debut novel, No Other Help I Know, is set in the early sixties in the rural south. It centers on a family who is looking up and reaching out and holding on to the only thing that sustains them, their faith in God and themselves. Deeply rooted in the African American tradition, the message transcends cultural and racial divides with a universal truth. For every high, there is a low, and for every mountain top there is a valley experience. We are always in pursuit of our higher selves. Largely autobiographical, the story begins with Jeane Brockton en route to her hometown of Pendelton, South Carolina. During this sentimental journey, the scenes along the countryside cause intense memories to emerge, evoking a telling of her childhood that lends itself to the heart of traditional fiction.
