Bender Crimes photographs, 1873
Get PDFThree photographs taken in rural Labette County, Kansas in 1873 at the Bender family house and property shortly after the discovery of the murders of approximately 12 individuals.
Roger O’Connor (1941-2006) ran a bookstore, Mostly Books, in Pittsburg, Kansas, selling books, papers, and photographs. He previously had bookstores in Lawrence, Kansas and Omaha, Nebraska before coming to Pittsburg. He previously had attended Pittsburg State University, where he received a master’s degree. The Bender Family crimes occurred in 1872-1873 where a mysterious family going by the name of Bender (aka “Bloody Benders”) murdered, apparently for their money, approximately a dozen travelers in remote Labette County, after they had stopped at a make-shift inn they operated. The family escaped shortly before their crimes were discovered and were never caught nor brought to justice. In 2022, Roger O’Connor’s daughter, Shannon O’Connor, donated the three photographs to Pittsburg State University that had been in her father’s possession, from his own research on the Benders.https://digitalcommons.pittstate.edu/fa/1414/thumbnail.jp

An Abstract of the Scholarly Project
by Jenifer Webb, MSN, RN, FNP-C
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction levels of participants in the Train 2 Run program that was started at the Joplin VA in Joplin, MO. The program was from May 3, 2022, to October 8, 2022, for a total of 5 months. The participants for this study were selected from the patients, family members, and staff who participated in the Train 2 Run program for a minimum of six weeks. The participants were asked to fill out the Physical Activity Group Evaluation Questionnaire (PAGEQ) for analysis of perceived cohesion and satisfaction. Objective data, such as HgbA1c values, LDL cholesterol values, weight, and blood pressure readings were evaluated for participants who are patients of the Joplin VA clinic. Results of this project found participants reported a high level of satisfaction with the program and a high level of cohesion. No statistically significant improvements were noted with blood pressure readings, HgbA1c values, or LDL values, but there was a statistically significant improvement noted in weight loss. The small sample size (n=4) of veteran participants was a limiting factor in measurement of improvement for HgbA1c and LDL values

What does it mean to be a Teacher Educator? Using self-study to understand teacher to teacher educator identity shift during the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textIn institutions of teacher education, the conditions for development of a teacher-educator identity are uncertain (Dinkelman, 2011). Pinnegar et al. (2020) argues that as self-study researchers, our identities are ever emergent – always becoming. This self-study of teaching and teacher education practices examines how I, an early career tenure track teacher-educator, learned to better understand my teacher-educator identity in my COVID-19 impacted first year. Using Gee\u27s (2001) descriptions of contextual identities, I describe how my assumptions about how my identity should develop were challenged by the pandemic response. Using self-study helped me to make sense of my pedagogy of teacher education, and finding an affinity group of critical friends was instrumental in helping me to navigate this challenging time. I encourage new tenure track faculty, mentors, and administrators to consider using self-study practices to help make sense of who we are becoming and why in these challenging times
