dent saw that position as unnecessary and satisfied with the support HR provides in
In fact, the report states that “various staff
members” shared the FADSS team’s con-
cerns about a lack of written HR protocols
and procedures – particularly for situations
involving staff discipline, low performers
and employee investigations – resulting in a
lack of consistency in addressing such issues.

“It was reported that individuals who re-
quest [information about] how certain HR
functions are handled often receive different
answers from different staff members or re-
ceive conflicting responses when compared
to how certain functions were handled in the
past,” the report states.

Worse, the report exposed a glaring flaw in
the district’s handling of employee miscon-
duct: There’s no policy for determining what
types of cases should be investigated at the
school/department level, or by the HR De-
partment or outside legal counsel.

The result has been a series of some-
times-lengthy, often-costly and usually fruit-
less investigations that unnecessarily were
farmed out to outside attorneys.

“We’ve seen a lot of these investigations –
too many of them, and they go too far,” Zorc
said. “One of the first questions Dr. Moxley
asked when she got here was: ‘Why are we
having all these investigations?’

“She believes that we should try to deal
with issues before they get to the point where
there needs to be an investigation.”

For that to happen, however, district em-
ployees need to be able to trust the HR De-
partment – something many of them have
said they were unable to do during the Ren-
dell years. “The district’s employees need to
be able to go there without fear of retaliation
or fear that HR will go to their supervisors,”
Zorc said.

Moxley echoed that sentiment, saying,”
We want our employees to feel they have an
avenue – that if they have a work-related is-
sue, they can feel comfortable going to HR to
address it.” It’s now Osypian’s job to rid the
HR Department of Rendell’s influence and
create a safe and welcoming environment
for employees, all while he works to produce
a manual of HR policies and procedures.

“Those are high priorities and we’re ad-
dressing them,” Moxley said, adding, “My
takeaway from the feedback we received in
the FADSS report is that many of the HR De-
partment’s issues could be traced to not hav-
ing an assistant superintendent for almost
two years.” 

programs this season with “Naugh-

the Me-Too Movement.” “Naughty

through Nov. 12. It explores, in part,
the Hays Code, which tried to clean
up moves of the late 1920s. But it
wasn’t until 1934 when enforce-
ment took over and Hollywood’s
“Sin City” persona was sanitized

Cultures, traditions woven into ‘Basketry in America’ exhibit

By Pam Harbaugh | Correspondent Carla Funk, executive director and
[email protected] chief curator of FIT Museums.

Functional art can weave its way PHOTOS: LEAH DUBOIS
through a nation’s history, stitching to-
gether the traditions and peoples of multi-
ple communities and even cultures.

That’s just one aspect to “Rooted, Re-
vived, Reinvented: Basketry in America,”
the new exhibition running through Dec.
4 at the Florida Institute of Technology in
Melbourne.

“There’s something for everyone in this
exhibition,” said Carla Funk, director of
museums at Florida Tech. “It’s really a big
show. It’s a real history of American bas-
ketry from Native American to contempo-
rary fine art.”

The exhibition, on tour by the National
Basketry Organization and the University
of Missouri, comprises 92 objects, ranging
from utilitarian to conceptual. The works
are informed by traditions of Native Amer-
icans, European immigrants and enslaved
people brought here by the African dias-
pora. It is funded in part by the Windgate
Charitable Foundation and the Center for
Craft, Creativity and Design.

Funk, who is no relation to the muse-
um’s late founder, Ruth Funk, expects the
exhibition to broaden the institution’s au-
dience. She also hopes people leave it with
an appreciation of just how wide the scope
is when it comes to textile arts, which, she
said, is generally perceived as dealing only
with cloth and fabric.

The museum’s previous Japanese bas-
ketry exhibition was well received. Funk
expects the same with “Rooted, Revived
and Reinvented.”

“Bringing in fiber arts is really exciting
because it expands the definition of what
we do,” she said. “I think that’s a big im-
pact … The complex mathematics in the
patterning and designs should be very ap-
pealing to engineers, which we have a lot of
here at Florida Tech.”

organized into quarters – Cultural Ori-

“They’re keeping traditions going but it’s
people looking at them from a design per-

A humorous example is a basket titled
“Yuppie Indian Couple,” created in 2003 by
Pat Courtney Gold.

“It looks exactly like traditional basket-
making of the Wasco people, but interpret-
ed in a new way,” Funk said. “She’s known
for reviving traditional techniques.”

The basket features a contemporary
couple created by geometric forms iconic
in Native American art but dressed in con-
temporary clothing. One side has a bird,
the other an airplane.

The popular lunch specials at Sumo House
are a good value for the generous portions of
food served fast, hot (or appropriately cold)
and fresh.

The Scallop Bento Box ($13.95) one of
my companions chose was a delightful,
sectioned box of goodies, something we
all dipped our chopsticks into, with nicely
seared scallops and vegetables cooked in a
sweet Teriyaki sauce, plus three plump piec-
es of sushi – tuna, salmon and a white fish
– and three pieces of luscious tuna sashimi.
Other sections held half a California roll and
the daily appetizer, lightly tempura-battered
fish with a yummy spicy sauce.

Another companion opted for the Combo
Roll Special ($10.95) which, like the Bento
Box, came with a miso soup or salad. Out of
the 16 different rolls listed, she chose the JB
roll and the spicy tuna roll. Both were very
good, exactly what you’d expect of the dish.

The Chicken Pad Thai ($8.95) was another
hit; a large portion of rice noodles, good-sized
pieces of chicken, bean sprouts and scallions
in a slightly sweet, peanut-based sauce,
served with miso soup and a Thai Spring Roll
just like our appetizer.

The nest of sautèed rice noodles arrived
steaming hot and thickly coated with a sa-
vory-sweet sauce. There were enough ten-
der pieces of chicken to accompany every
mouthful. Bits of scallion, bean sprout, egg,
and ground peanut complemented the
sweet, nutty flavor.

The meal was generous with plenty to
share with lunch companions and still have
leftovers. Sumo House presented a beautiful

are always dry. U.S. wineries may make
a range of styles. These may be labeled
as dry or semi-dry, to indicate mod-
erate sweetness, which I prefer to call
fruitiness. Ripe fruit, after all, tastes
sweet.

2. Riesling is a great food wine.
A food-wine pairing maxim pitches
sweeter wine with spicy Asian foods,
because the sugar in the wine moder-
ates the food’s heat. Riesling fits that,
especially a semi-dry version. But the
wine’s key is really its fruitiness and
acidity, a combination that equal ver-
satility.
“Riesling can be made in many dif-
ferent styles, from low to high alcohol,
from dry, to off-dry and then the many
dessert styles,” says Stu Smith, wine-
maker at Smith-Madrone Vineyards
on Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain.
Smith-Madrone planted its riesling
vineyard in 1972 and is now celebrat-
ed as one of the few riesling holdouts
in the land of cabernet sauvignon. “It
goes with just about any food, meat,
soup or cuisine – or all by itself.”
Riesling is great with smoked fish,
salads, curries, even braised beef – one
of my most memorable meals was beef
