Shirley Tasso-Haggard | Obituary | Terre Haute Tribune Star - Terre Haute Tribune Star

Shirley Ann Tasso-Haggard, 81, of Winter Haven, Florida, formerly of Clinton, went to be with Jesus at 3:15 AM on Sunday, June 13th, 2021, with her family at her side, after a hard-fought battle with an aggressive infection. She was born in Clinton on August 3rd, 1939, to Joe Carrera and Mary Stariha, who preceded her in death. She was the oldest of four sisters and grew up on her parents' dairy farm located on the outskirts of town. She graduated from Clinton High School in 1957, while also working part time at the Daily Clintonian newspaper, before getting married and moving to San Clemente, California. While in San Clemente, Shirley waitressed at a local diner and happily spent her spare time at the beach soaking up the California sunshine. Eventually, she divorced, moved back to Clinton, and began working as a secretary at Ethyl Visqueen. It was then that she married Louis Tasso, and had a daughter. After a few years, she began working as an administrative assistant at Eli Lilly and Company, where she later retired after 25 year of service. Although she divorced a second time, Shirley eventually met and married her current husband, Robert Haggard, with whom she recently celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary. In addition to being an amazing mom, grandma, wife, aunt, and sister, Shirley was simply someone fun to be around. She loved life, she cherished her family and friends, she loved to dance, she was a fierce card player, she could tell a joke better than anyone, and her smile and laughter would light up a room. She was defini...

Plants not seen in Ohio in decades found in Summit, Portage counties - Akron Beacon Journal

Ohio in 1991, when Bissell found it with a volunteer in a fen, a type of wetland, on the east shore of Clinton’s Luna Lake in southern Summit County.Bissell made the May 2019 find in Long Lake Fen, a nearly 60-acre nature preserve owned by the museum on the southeastern shore of Long Lake.The species, along with the three others found in Ohio last year, had been presumed extirpated in Ohio, meaning a naturally occurring population had not been observed in more than 20 years. Statewide, there are more than 80 species considered extirpated, some not seen in more than a century."It's always nice to find something that hasn't been seen in over 20 years," Bissell said.Now that the American cuckoo-flower has been found in Ohio, Bissell said the species — a member of the mustard family with small white flowers — has been listed as endangered in the state.Division of Natural Areas and Preserves Chief Botanist Rick Gardner said the American cuckoo-flower typically only occurs in fens, a type of wetland often only visited by botanists, biologists and other scientists."You have to be out in the right time of the year," he said. "When it's not in bloom, it could be easily overlooked."Other "lost" plants found in Ohio in 2019 include the water marigold — an aquatic flowering plant last seen in Ohio in the 1930s — found in Portage County in September; the black-stemmed spleenwort — a type of fern last seen in Ohio in 1900 — found in Adams County in May; and Vasey’s pondweed — an aquatic plant last seen in Ohio in 1935 — found in Lorain County in June.Gardner said the water marigold was found at a natural lake in Portage County. He said he couldn’t provide additional information, as the landowner who found the species on their property wants to remain anonymous.The Vasey’s pondweed was found by Cleveland Metroparks and Lorain County Metro Parks employees working on aquatic invasive species, while the black-stemmed spleenwort was found by a group of coll...

A New Toni Morrison Documentary Gives the World’s Greatest Living Writer Her Flowers, and Plants New Seeds - The Root

Morrison first appeared before him with a pipe. Greenfield-Sanders, who’s shot portraits of Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Serena Williams, and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, says he was first struck by Morrison’s confidence: “She always did have a kind of presence that was undeniable.”AdvertisementGreenfield-Sanders tells The Root he first conceived of doing a Morrison documentary after doing a film about singer, songwriter and Velvet Underground lead Lou Reed. The timing of the retrospective, filmed more than 15 years before the singer passed, allowed Reed and his legendary contemporaries, like David Bowie and Patti Smith, to participate.“You want to do a film about someone when they’re still able to participate in it,” Greenfield-Sanders says. “And I think that that’s what’s so strong here, is that Toni tells her story.”AdvertisementOne technique Greenfield-Sanders uses to foster intimacy between Morrison and the viewer is to let her talk directly to the camera while everyone else talking about her is set at an angle—a nod to the fact that the focus, even when she’s not in the frame, is always on Morrison.There is much in the film for viewers in all stages of Morrison fandom. The most devout Morrison readers will likely be familiar with the criticism she received in the ’70s and ’80s that her work was too concerned with black Americans; she is “is far too talented to remain only a marvelous recorder of the black side of provincial American life” read a New York Times book review of Sula). They’ll also be familiar with Morrison’s fierce and persistent refusal to bow to the white gaze in her work and to defer to white critics, predecessors, and contemporaries.Advertisement“I was more interesting than they were. I knew more than they did. And I wasn’t afraid to show it,” Morrison says in the doc.br...

Saving SF's Conservatory of Flowers, Golden Gate Park's grandest building - San Francisco Chronicle

On the same day the House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach her husband, Hillary Clinton came to San Francisco to help save the lovely old Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park," columnist Carl Nolte wrote in The Chronicle on Dec. 12, 1998. Clinton's 10-minute address announced a $5 million grant from a private foundation, with potential matching funds to cover the gap for the estimated $18 million bill. It is "a national treasure," the first lady said after a private tour of the conservatory. "One of the most important landmarks in the entire country." With Clinton's help - as well as $2 million from the city - the conservatory was restored and celebrated its grand reopening in September 2003. More from Chronicle Vault •Survivors: Installed in 1903, the Golden Gate windmills are still standing, despite years of repair, neglect and partial fixes. •"You'd think roller skating was just invented": The year is 1978, and Golden Gate Park a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/oursf/article/...
