HomeMy WebLinkAbout1998-01-13 AppointmentJanuary 3, 1998 Randy Rohovit, Chairman Iowa City Design Review Committee Dear Rand and members of the Design Review Committee: As you are aware, I submitted an application to serve on the low~ City Airport Commission. A requirement of that submittal is that if I am appointed, I would have to resign from this committee because the city will not let you serve on two groups. On December 16th, the Iowa City council selected my application and appointed me to a 6 year term on the Airport Commission. This being the case I here by tenure my resignation on the Design Review Committee effective immediately. If you would like some names of others to replace me I'd be more that happy to offer a few. Respectfully Mark Anderson, AIA December 18, 1997 I am submitting my resignation to serve on the Housing and Community Development Commission Due to the stringent standards regarding conflict ofintexest for HCDC, I would not be able to participate in most of the discussions for the remainder of my term and think it would be only fair to have someone serve that could add to the discussion. Hopefully I have contributed during the 20 months that I have served on the commission. I am extremely grateful to the Community Development staff for aH their help during the last 20 months. Whenever I asked for something, they responded promptly. I would also like to wish the current Commission members luck on their upcoming funding allocation-it seems to get more difficult every year. I have enjoyed my time on the Commission and hopefully in the future can serve on a different city commission or committee.

I have always been interested in human rights issues world-wide, and am currently a participating member of Amnesty International, USA. I would like, however, to do something more concrete at the local level, as well. I have been a resident of Iowa City for about 15 years, having _rece_Aved an MFA and Doctoram in music from the University of Iowa. I am currently employed at the university's Broadcasting Service as a radio producer, and also work as a pianist, both flee-lance and through visiting artsist contracts at the university (Music, Theatre and SF~w, ch Pathology). My musical work is primarily as accompanist, and I have also served as editor for a number of internatio~ students' papers and doctoral theses. I have attended the Iowa City Friends' (Quaker) Meeting for about 8 years. Throughout this time, I have been part of their Peace and Social Concerns Committee, acting as convertor (a rotating position) for one year. Our most recent project was a t.ypical one: we invited a woman from Colombia to give a talk about the School of the Americas and the current political situation in her country, and helped circulate a petition requesting that our government permanently close the School. I have also been the Friends' representative to the Iowa City Ecumenical Peace Council (when it was existant) and am currently the Friends' representative on the Emergency Housing Project board, where I have served on the fund-raising committee for two years. Finally, I have also been active in the Friends' volunteer work helping a Bosnian refugee family to resettle in the area. Other activity in the community includes some involvement with the Friends of International Students, acting as host person and English language parmer for Taiwanese students. And, for several years, I have been a friend and companion to a seriously mentally ill woman who currently lives at Chatham Oaks. While I do not believe it is entirely possible for someone to identify completely with another whose di~bility or status they do not share, I do believe that one can develop insights through one's own experiences and self-education. I have been in a state of partial disablement for several years, at times barely noticeable. at other times quite severe, causing some financial difficulties and loss or work. Although my condition is completely recoverable (and should be soon), I have perhaps become much more aware of the myriad frustrations and inconveniences that can accompany the day-to-day lives of those who must make extraordinary accomodafions in order to lead otherwise ordinary lives. In my work as editor, I gained insights into the kinds of problems that can arise due to misunderstanding and fear of an unfamiliar culture. Most misudnerstandings were merely that, requiring a simple explanation to clear up questions. I did confront two cases of serious ethics violations, one involving an untrue charge of plagiarism that nearly co__~ a woman her degree, the other an out-and-out case of blatant sexual harassment. Both situations involved Asian students who had no idea where to turn, were afraid of au!h. ori_t~ and were unaware that the university provided channels to remedy their concerns. Tin bot~ cases, once they knew where to seek help, the problems were successfully resolved. From my "unoffical" experience, I have come to believe that a major part of huma~ ..rightg~': work r~,~!s to be educational. Certainly, people who are victims of harassment ~ :: discrimination need to know bow to find help. There are, unfortunately, instances whem~ enforcement is the only workable solution. However, I believe that many problems are~ caused by people who simply don't know better and would be more than willing to a~pt to fairer practices if they only knew how to go about it, or bettin' understood the nature of a particular problem (this seems most often the case with the physically and mentally dibbled: I have never encountered problems when I needed to ask for help for myself, or for my mentally ill friend). There are also those who won't bothex to go out of their way but who do want to 'play by the rules;' here, instituting fairer practices can lead to their routine acceptance. I also have learned the absolute importance of getting to the bottom of a situation, getting all the facts and trying to keep an open mind. My background and work in human rights activities has been, obviously, unofficial (unless you co.unt an accompanise..s . .neces~. development of diplomatic skills and the ability to work, literally and figuranvely, m harmony with others!); however, I am convinced that because in these activities I relate~l~ to people on an equal basis or as a friend, I have been able to gain some insights not otherwise afforded to someone in a more authoritative position. I admire Iowa City's human rights ordinance. I believe one of its purposes, which reflects one of my own sWongly held beliefs, is to help overcome barriers and ensure that every resident be able to work, interact together and participate in the life of the community to the fullest extent possible. Holly Hart 337-7341 10/30/97 I do plan to move to Iowa City before January 1st. I believe this position is important and I am willing to move to be in compliance. I will however need to know if I have the position before I can move. Marianela L.

We only get together every few years and seeing her thin was quits a shock. I was used to her round body and face and hers she was -- a thin, 'fit-looking' figure I did not readily recognize. The only thing about her that looked the same was her fine, long hair. It is hard for her to keep this weight ofT. She does not eat fat, and since fat is what makes us feel satiated when we eat, she is often hun~*y. She eats plenty of vegetables, but she is still hungry. When I ukod her why she lost the weight, she said that, froAkly, she did not want to be alone for the rest of her life. The unspoken assumption hers is that being fat means being alone. While I would like to tell her that her beauty and intelligence and engaging personal- ity will surely be the determining factors in her finding a life-partner, ! cannot honestly say this is 8o because I do not know. Part. of.me wants to condemn her for not accepting herself as she was and demanding that others do, too. But ! can't do that, either. I have never been fat, so I don't know how she felt. All I do know is that whatever fears of alonehess she had were strong enough to result i- her radical body change and her forever for- ~g pecan pie, ice cream and other earthly delights. I see how hard it is for her to restrict her diet as rigidly as she does, and I see her continue these restrictions in spite of the stresses of living constantly on a diet. ' Perhaps some would congratulate her on her discipline and be impressed with her fortitude. While I recognize that m~ friend is doing some- thing difficult, I do not readily join in on these congratulations because I am fist surs that dif- ficult actions that requirs discipline are to be congratulated unequivocally. I wonder what my friend could be doing with all the energy it takes her to stay thin if she lived in a world where fat didn't matter. If women in general spent less time counting the number of bread slices they consume, calculat- ing calories, searching labels for fat content and reading those omnipresent 'Nutrition Facts" affixed to every food product, what could we be doing instead? Many women spend more time looking down at their bellies than they do looking out at the world. How we look to oth- ers, how fat we are and other body-mainte- nance questions take up a sizable portion of our time and energy. If my friend were a man, would her fat be as much a source of concern and of potential aloneness? I wonder what prevents us from eating as much as we want of whatever we want, when- ever we want. And don't tell me it*s health. Don't even think that. Fitness and the slim body ideal have nothing to do with health. How many women do you know who, rather than gain weight, take up smoking? What about all the artificial sugars and chemically processed low-fat foods eaten by those who are on a quest for thinness? And the fanatical exercisers who' run with shin splints, and the aerobicizers who" work out with sprained ankles? These do not seem to me to be healthy choices. Health is about listening to our bodies. When ' they are hungry, we should feed them (and no~ calculate the number of calories we ate that day and then 'decide' to eat), and when they are tired, we should rest (and not work out because we said we would work out three times [ a week). Being healthy is about letting our'bed- ' ies have a say in what we are doing with them. Disciplining the body takes a lot of energy.' Some are proud of the results they obtain by dieting and exercising hard, and I will not begrudge them that. However, I do think that the phenomenon of a guilt-free feast with friends Is an endangered one in this age of hypervigilance of the body. I love eating with friends who eat a lot, encourage me to eat mors and take delight in these oral pleasures. Those who judge my ali- mentary habits, count my calories for me and comment on the "healthiness' of my choices do not make for pleasurable company at meal- time. Food can be a joy, a communication and an expression of love. It can be fun, creative and celebratory. My advice to you this cold- weather holiday season is to eat, drink and let that make you not guilty, but satisfied, grateful and merry. Lea Haravon's column appears Tuesdays on the Viewpoints Pages.

I'll 8o lievet each one of these responses m turn. 1. W~at does this ~rm mean? : Fat acceptance is a subset of size acceptance. ;which is a subset of body acceptance. The main.

We don't all look like Even if fat were unhealthy, does that give not-fat people the right to harass fat people? I don't hear a lot of invectives yelled at cancer pa6ents on the street. Smokers do not have people walk up to their shopping carts and remove their cigarette cartons; two of the fat women at dinner told me this happens to t~em when they ~o shopping. People will approach them and remoi, e food from thei,r carts. "You don't need this," they will say. Barbie or Ken. Those 1o~ks deserve no privilege. All bedy types are OK. ' 2. Body acceptance; size acceptance; fat acceptance - is this Just snother politically correct cause to fight? Yes. Where ! come f~om, °politically co,race" another tor~ for 'sensitive,' 'empe0~ic,' or 'conaid. ereta." it only got to IM a stigmatized phraM when soma insensitive, non-empathic end inconsiderate people took it over and mede fun of it, and of every- thins el~, too. 3. But, fat is unhealthyl Not necessarily. And even if it is, so whet? Our culture has confitted heauty, fitness end health so that things we thi~k of se being in one cat- eSory are automatically in the other. Are tanning beds healthy? Diet pint? Chotmcally-pr~e~Md hair dye? Fat people can be healthy and unhealthy, just as than p~ple can. Some studies have found that fat women are less likely to suffer from os~oopor~2sis &ud certsArt cancers, and are more likely to survive heaA disease. If they are mothere, they have fewer compli. carlene w~th childbirth. The medical literature is not unequivocal on the "fat is unhealthy' iseu..

I diet, why can't they? They've atoppod die~,ng. Why can't you? l IARA VON Perpetuating A friend of mine was on a tour of Eastern Europe. She was visiting a small town in Poland which was for the most part uninhabited because of the extermina- tion of Jews in Poland before and during World War II. My friend found that the tour guide spoke about Jews as if we no longer exist - anywhere. To her, we are simply a dead people due to the atrocities of the Holocaust. Later, in a museum, my friend saw a group of school children who looked different from most of the young people she had seen. She wondered if perhaps these children were Jew- ish. She asked one of the children what kind of school she attended. The girl said only "a pri- vate school.' Already she had learned that hers was an identity not to be flaunted or even men- tioned. My friend noticed that in a gift shop there, necklaces with pendants of the Star of David were for sale. This would be like selling rosaries or crucifixes at a newsstand. Taken out of context, these necklaces lost all their meaning as religious symbols and were merely items for consumption for the sympathetic or the intrigued. My friend, a Jew, felt absent, invisible and like a curiosity. a myth of cultural novelties. /low different is the attitude of those in this Polish town from the attitude of those in the United States who advocate the use of Native American mascots as representatives of athlet- ic teams? While neither the Polish town's tour guides nor the fans of Native American mas- cots are directly responsible for the respective holocausts of these peoples, both assume implicitly that the Jews and the Native Ameri- cnns, respectively, no longer exist. Of course, this is true in neither case, but it encourages a feeling of invisibility and unimportance among Jews in Poland - like the schoolgirl and my friend - and among Native Americans in this country. In addition. the cornmodification of cultural and religious artifacts of each group is similar. People buy Mogen Davids, native feathers or peace pipes as a novelty. Again, while the con- sumers of these items are not directly responsi- ble for massacres, they perpetuate the myth that these people no longer exist and encourage us to think of both the people and the items for sale as cultural novelties. When apologists claim that they are "honor- ing" Native Americans, they, as a friend of mine pointed out, forget that an honor is only recognized as such when it is accepted by those whom one is supposedly honoring. 1 know of no Native American who considers the 'tomahawk chop" and other such rituals to be anything more than an insensitive appropriation of a culture that few in the institution of athletics ' understand, much less respect. This is not an' honor. It is an instance of cultural colonization. The similarities between the' treatment of Jews in Europe and our own treatment of Native Americans in this country was further exemplified for me in this juxtaposition, pic- tured above, of the Cleveland Indians logo with a cartoon caricature of a Jew from 1933 (reprinted from "Indians Are Us?" by Ward Churchill). A non-Native American reaction to the mascot controversy might be to ask, ~Rrhat is the big deal?" My response is: Look at these pictures and tell me, what is the difference? Lea Hatavon's column apl)ears Tuesdays on Viewpoints PaRos. t [A t IARA V( )N Facing fear as the No. 1 lesbian on campus "Hey Lea, I saw your name on a bathroom wall today," a friend of mine said to me one evening a few years ago. Iler tone was one of lighthearted amusement, but I needed more information before I was going to be equally amused. Why would my i name be on a bathroom wall? ~: '~ Hypotheses flooded my brain !. while I calmly asked her to tell me the story. 'Well, I was in one of the bathroom stalls in o tJi camires building and I saw a list of mimes under the heading 'Lesbians on Campus,' and you were No. 1." Wow. The No. I lesbian on campus. I asked her who else was on the list, but she could not remember. Wow. The No. 1 lesbian on campus by a long sbot. ! wondered who ranked me as such. I joined in my friend's laughter, trying to toss my public outing off as a harmless prank executed either by a homophobe not worthy of my angst or by some shy woman who was madly in lave with me. Still, though, a feeling of unrest lingered, so I decided to check out the bathroom stall Ibr myself. There were a few things that my friend did not tell me about the "Lesbians on Campus" list. First of all, it was next to another scrawled list titled 'Rapists on Campus." Secondly, next to my name was written 'aerobics TA." These two pieces of information added a context to my fame that changed my perception of the incident from a harmless prank to a malicious anti poten- tially dangerous situation for me. I think Ihl, part that h,thl,red mr? most associate my job with my alleged sexual orienta- tion. I wasn't just Lea, some lesbian. I was Lea, the aerobics Teaching Assistant. Given that this was next to a list of rapists, I couhhft I~elp but think that the underlying message of hotb lists was #people to watch out for on campus." Specif- ically, the between-the-lines message allout me was 'Don't take a class from l,ea because she is the No. I lesbian on campus, and you know those lesbians." As I stood in this stall staring at my name, 1 wondered if my students were scared of me. I wondered if any of them had done tiffs, and I started ~nentally going through all tile names af the women in the aerobics classes I tenell to try to guess who might be tile potential author of this list. Usually, there is nothing I love more tiles teaching aerobics classes. I love encoursging end motivating people who may feel uncomfort- able about movement; I love helping them find that they like sweat and exercise and that they don't have to take themselves too seriously to do it. For the first time, I dreaded teaching class. ! knew that I would be wondering which, if any, of the women in the class had written this. The trust and affection I felt for my students was gone. I felt only wariness, anger and hurt. I left the bathroom and tried to think. A few minutes later, I returned to the bathroom, red pen in hand. I had an idea. I circled my name, drew an arrow from it and wrote, "Actually, am a lesbian-identified bisexual. If you are going to out me, get it RIGlIT." ! signed my name, dated it and let' Five minutes befi ny nerohies class was I.,gin tilt, n(.xt day, I .~till did n,,t kn.w if' I was students. When I walked into the room and saw them sitting against the wall looking at me like they always do, I knew that I couldn't just go on with aerobics as usual; I had to talk to them. It didn't matter whether one of them had written about me or not; tile point for me was that my whole perception of the class, and of teaching, had changed. ! could not treat them with the same warmth, care and energy as usual until 1 talked to them. "Today we are not going to workout," I said. As they moved into a seated circle on the floor, visions of the .exu,llly explicit meteri,l~ policy and of my credibility us an instructor flashed into my mind. But I dismiesed these fears because I knew tbut I could not be the teacher they bad come to know until I told them what bad happened and what it felt like to be outed on a bathroom wall, job description and all. In u world where people can be condemned and feared for who they love or what they look like, sometimes these kinds of discussions are more impotent than a cardiovascular workout. My students seemed to agree. Some of them even shared stories of their own about aimilar unwarranted condemnations. While my stu- dents did not sweat as much aa they usually do in that day's class, I aweat enough for all of them I still don't know who thinks I am the No. I lesbian on campus, but I don't much care because I found out something much more valu- able: the importance of facing fear with commu- nication, vulnerability and bonesty.
