authorities to participate in prohibited May Day processions resulting in the occasional fracas with the police. In those days the Queensland government regarded any protest as the result of communist agitation and portrayed protesters as traitors, taking punitive measures against anyone they could identify as involved. Feeling his activism had damaged his career advancement, Ted became less passionate, less outspoken, more cautious, perhaps even overly cautious. He stopped espousing controversial causes, and he maintained a complete silence on the matter of his sexuality. In January 1963, the Education Department transferred Ted to Parramatta State School in Cairns and he worked there for 23 years, in 1971 appointed the first Teacher / Teacher Librarian in North Queensland. Shortly after his arrival in Cairns, Ted joined the Cairns Little Theatre and became a respected and valuable member, participating on and off the stage - at one production he 'd be the bloke serving you coffee in the canteen, and at the next, the star performer, in plays like: Bell, Book and Candle, Roar like a Dove, A Man of All Seasons, Gaslight and The Man Who Came To Dinner. Ted enjoyed some long term relationships over the years but remained very discreet, an intensely private man, his penchant for ignoring other gay people in public, much remarked upon. Even when he worried he might be HIV positive he never gave up that discretion, knowing that if his name appeared on a Queensland Department of…

In 1909, Hall set up a Children’s Institute at Clark (Pickren, 2012). Afterwards, he created a section in the institute for studies of Psychology, Pedagogy, and Hygiene of Sex. Hall decided to have a section on those topics because he found Freud’s theories about childhood and sexuality interesting (Pickren, 2012). The Children’s Institute at Clark was not around for long and because of this, there was only little research conducted from 1909 until 1914 (Pickren, 2012). Although Hall’s fame…

Fortunately, Bert’s long time friend, well known STD and AIDS Specialist, Dr. David…

and on the tundra. Regional archaeological surveys encounter stone caches. They occur in Taltheilei tradition sites. Stone cairns are piles of stones. They protect materials from predators. Bryan Gordon thinks, “Unless hunters cached meat as did the transient Caribou Inuit, the barrenlands were unfit for winter habitation. But there is no indication of caching or winter sites on the tundra in 8,000 years of Beverly prehistory” (Gordon 1990:400). Archaeological surveys have revealed that this…

Consequently, came the homemade diet, constant monitoring of his bloodwork and the quest to find a vet that would clean his teeth in Korea. Being Cairnless has been difficult, I was just not sure I was able to provide a new addition the adequate amount of time due to being in school and being in an apartment didn’t help either. I did apply for a rescue Cairn this past summer with the New England Westie Group but the male available was adopted by his foster. Thank-you for the…
