Greg is a rancher in the western United States. Burdened by generational alcoholism, he struggles to achieve personal happiness and at the same time hold it together with his family and friends. It is not without casualties to some of the characters in the book. In Windmill, the men and women are searching for personal freedom. In America, freedom is guaranteed but the methods and means of how to achieve it inevitabley clash. People from different parts of the country have different ideas, and being compelled to search for freedom each has to suffer the setbacks that life has to offer. On the surface, life in the west seem more forgiving, more laid back. But in the end, no one in is guaranteed to find the easy road. Freedom is not easy for those living it. Like the windmill, constantly being driven by the impeller of the wind, life is the impeller that drives the characters in this book. Each has to reach deep within to withstand the adult circumstances they are responsible for putting themselves in. Through our own actions, sometimes life comes to a standstill. The impeller of life is a driving force. And like the windmill, if the wind stops or water below dries up, the living are bandoned to fend for themselves. If we are lucky, time will restart our dynamos. If the people in the story are to survive, the forces of nature must be discovered without as well as within. There are many versions of the living, yet in function they seem all alike. Living in the modern west forces choices between retaining what is thought of as good and yet, bending to what has become designated as progress. In the end, are we able to take charge and judge, or must we simply take what the wind and water has to offer and make the best of it? Only our characters know for sure.

Diamondback

By: Terry Maag

The story takes place near and in the surroundings of two towns in modern western America. It involves youth and some problems with drugs and alcohol. An outside influence from the big city is ultimately drawn into the plot adding to the intrigue. The story resides within the moral boundaries set in the modern American west, involving adult humor and situations. A crime is committed under a unique set of circumstances which sets off a chain of events that keeps the action moving 24 hours a day. Anyone who has lived or worked in rural America can identfy with the characters and situations in this book. It is moderately intense, yet enjoyable to read. The plot takes place in the time frame of approxamately two days. It has humor, but there are undercurents of a more serious nature. Some of the characters are likeable in a plot that builds and invites a surprise ending. George Norton, the sheriff of Beaumont County, is filling the shoes of his former mentor, John Madison, who is now a federal marshal. It is George's job to insure and protect the integrity of some of the more promenent citizens. George thinks he has seen it all, but the future of America brings itself in the form of it's youth along with their trappings. The generation gaps are evident and lend to providing a learning curve for all involved. For a short time at least, they "wake up" the would be sleepy nature of this small town, rural America.

Behavior and Classroom Management in the Multicultural Classroom

Proactive, Active, and Reactive Strategies

By: Terry L. Shepherd,Diana Linn

Addressing the increasing number of culturally and linguistically diverse students in today’s schools, Behavior and Classroom Management in the Multicultural Classroom provides general and special education teachers with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to make the proactive, active, and reactive interventions necessary to create a positive classroom environment in which all students can learn. Going beyond the traditional rules and hierarchy of consequences and reinforcements, the book demonstrates how to incorporate basic classroom management plans, functional behavioral analysis, functional behavioral assessments, and behavioral intervention plans into the development and implementation of response-to-intervention and school-wide positive behavior support programs. In every chapter, the authors use real world examples and case studies to explore how language and culture affect students’ responses to behavior and classroom management. Unique chapters cover social skills training and collaborating with families of diverse students.

March 1939

Before the Madness—The Story of the First NCAA Basketball Tournament Champions

By: Terry Frei

In 1939, the Oregon Webfoots, coached by the visionary Howard Hobson, stormed through the first NCAA basketball tournament, which was viewed as a risky coast-to-coast undertaking and perhaps only a one-year experiment. Seventy-five years later, following the tournament’s evolution into a national obsession, the first champions are still celebrated as “The Tall Firs.” They indeed had astounding height along the front line, but with a pair of racehorse guards who had grown up across the street from each other in a historic Oregon fishing town, they also played a revolutionarily fast-paced game. Author Terry Frei’s track record as a narrative historian in such books as the acclaimed Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming, plus a personal connection as an Oregon native whose father coached football at the University of Oregon for seventeen seasons, makes him uniquely qualified to tell this story of the first tournament and the first champions, in the context of their times. Plus, Frei long has been a fan of Clair Bee, the Long Island University coach who later in life wrote the Chip Hilton Sports Series books, mesmerizing young readers who didn’t know the backstory told here. In 1939, the Bee-coached LIU Blackbirds won the NCAA tournament’s rival, the national invitation tournament in New York—then in only its second year, and still under the conflict-of-interest sponsorship of the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association. Frei assesses both tournaments and, given the myths advanced for many years, his conclusions in many cases are surprising. Both events unfolded in a turbulent month when it was becoming increasingly apparent that Hitler's belligerence would draw Europe and perhaps the world into another war . . . soon. Amid heated debates over the extent to which America should become involved in Europe's affairs this time, the men playing in both tournaments wondered if they might be called on to serve and fight. Of course, as some of the Webfoots would demonstrate in especially notable fashion, the answer was yes. It was a March before the Madness.
