---CURRENT PROJECTS---

I am currently studying domestic canine intelligence and a canines ability to learn to "read and write". Having been a school teacher for more then 12 years, I am working to teach a domestic canine (pet dog) to read and write Bliss Symbols. Bliss Symbols use simple drawings instead of words to build a sentence. My project consists of four major parts. 1) Teach the canine to read (understand) Bliss Symbols. 2) Build a boot for the canine to hold a marker and teach it to draw lines and circles. 3) Teach the canine to draw Bliss Symbols. 4) Using Bliss Symbols as a common language, encourage the canine to describe how it feels, what it likes, what does a specific bark mean, what it understands about our human technology, and how does it learn to live in a non-technical natural science world.

I am currently working on a "Village of Crivitz Disaster Management Plan". This project consists of several parts. 1) A detailed map of the Village showing every building and explaining every potential fire hazard in the Village. The map will show every fence, wall, or other obstruction to the movement of emergency vehicles and equiptment.  2)  A list of every residence and business in the Village. This list will be indexed by both location and owner's name. 3) A list of every potential chemical, mechanical, and meteorlogical hazard in the Village. This will include what materials and chemicals are stored in the Village and/or trancported by train or truck through the Village.

I am preparing to campaign for election as a Village Trustee of the Village of Crivitz, Wisconsin, in April 2009. I have lived in the Village for almost 3 years and have gained extensive knowledge of Village history, current operations, and future plans.
