A few years had passed In 1999 I'd gone through a divorce and subsequent bankruptcy It's my belief that everyone should have a purpose in life some sort of dream to strive toward: for the only life worth living is the one in pursuit of dreams to achieve But I lost my dreams I left the poster program and art teaching and then returned to Wyoming in 2000 to once again become a Special Education instructor for a short whileIn 2001 I found an art position in Lampasas Texas to be closer to my three sons and make a little more than the paltry salary up north Here I again started tutelage of how to make posters to sixth grade students A couple years later I met a beautiful and wonderful woman a third grade teacher Joan Butts One year later we were married on the anniversary of our first date (Now some of you may be thinking "How amusing she's become Butts Bear"; however it gets better Her maiden name was originally Ware Now from time to time I tease her with "Ware Butts Bear" Certainly truth is funnier than fiction)The summer of 2004 Joan and I headed toward Yellowstone on our honeymoon where I used to enjoy cross-country skiing in the winter Joan had never had the pleasure of experiencing the grandeur of this incredible area On the way we got a call from my sister Erlene that our aunt Velma was in the hospital in Aberdeen South Dakota and being sent home with Hospice I was to be one of the executors of her will So we made a big detour to visit Velma the last week of her life Then we continued on our honeymoon to Yellowstone National Park and farther west to meet Joan's son Kyle and his family in Utah August the following year I was the winner of a visit from the local sheriff I was being sued by Velma's adopted son who's ten years my seniorAs you are astutely aware 1991 was not fifty years ago and are probably curious s to how the focus of the Star Poster Program has become a half century odyssey in such a short time Well here is where it starts jetting backwards painfully fast and furiousWithin a few short days I was getting ready to go to work and attend teacher in-service for the upcoming school year Joan had already left I'd been pacing in the house wearing only my shirt underwear and socks I just couldn't continue to get dressed I can't remember for how long this was going on but it seemed like a couple of hours I'd called Joan and pleaded over and over for her to take me to a psychiatrist I needed help now Obviously I was having a nervous breakdownJoan hurried home and contacted a psychiatrist but what I needed was more immediate My heart was racing and blood pressure was dangerously high The family physician prescribed medication and we made arrangements for me to be counseled the next dayIt wasn't the lawsuit itself that was the biggest conflict It was who was doing it and some of what I had to face that were deeply buried secrets from my past that I'd been forced to confront experiences I'd never confessed to anyoneDuring the second grade I lived with my aunt Velma and uncle Dick on a farm just north of Warner South Dakota One spring evening my older cousin a senior in high school and I'd gone to the barn It was part of our chores to feed and milk the cows On occasion we also had to clean the stalls and put the manure in the spreader to later use as fertilizer The latter was not a favorite job since I'd gotten a pitch fork full of fresh dung flung in my faceThis time the excursion to the barn was different: there was no feeding no milking and no cleaning I climbed on the boards separating stalls as I'd often done before My cousin and I started talking: then he secured a loop of bailing twine around a ceiling rafter He pulled me over and put a noose around my neck I was terrified This time he had fortunately let my feet stay caught on the stall boards After supper a few days later when we had to go to the barn to do chores he hung me from the rafter again This time he made sure my feet couldn't reach the stall There I was dangling fighting for my life choking while helplessly trying to get my fingers to pry the rope loose of my neck A moment later my uncle Dick burst through the barn door and hurriedly rescued meOh I'd shared this trauma with others over the years but not what else he'd done to me something to me that was worse Something men are too ashamed and scared to admit especially because of the stigmas that go with it when you've dedicated your life to working with kids This was the deeper scarring I had to face and finally needed to seek professional help and come to terms with sexual abuseThat summer I got to return to live with my dad mom two older sisters and two younger brothers in Minneapolis In mid-April the next spring my father was riding his bicycle to get his car at his sisters on the Lower Sioux Indian reservation near Morton Minnesota and was killed by a drunk driver in a hit and run I'll never forget answering the door to the knock of a policeman informing my mother of the life shattering news I was eight years old and suddenly had to become the "man of the house" and grow up fastThe lawsuit forced me to review the past with other numerous unpleasant memories That fall my mother moved us to Aberdeen where I would enter fourth grade Looking back at this time in northeastern South Dakota I could see that my mom probably suffered with a manic/depressive disorder if not just depression Who could blame her We were living on welfare as my mother Mable had to raise five kids alone didn't own a driver's license and hadn't had employment in thirteen years Sometimes she'd get upset and throw at me whatever was within reach Once I was assailed from across the kitchen by a can of green beans and another instance fortunate enough to dodge the whirling flight of a butcher knifeWe lived in a rent house there that Velma had owned Having started kindergarten at four at the beginning of the sixth grade I was still ten years old Mom aunt Velma and grandma Wobick decided I needed a male role model Therefore just before my eleventh birthday I was sent alone on a Greyhound bus from Aberdeen to meet my uncle Neil and grandpa Samuel Bear at the bus station in Ventura CaliforniaDealing with these issues also made me look at earlier ordeals that have had some effect on the development of the Star Poster Program and its current emphasis on trying to reduce child abuse This goes all the way back to the age of four and I was taken from my parents and placed in a foster home where the head of the house was a police officer Why I was put in a "home" has never come to my recollection but the distress of the event has always been hereNo one can convince me there is no God.no one can convince me that He doesn't intervene.no one can convince me He doesn't have a plan for our lives I've seen the evidence.I've felt the gentle guiding pressure of the Potter's hands on this body of clay Hind sight is undeniably more acute than present vision When we are open to taking a glimpse at God's shaping of our lives of the direction redirection rescuing and tacit voice we become sublimely humbled with awe of His participation in it allWhen I was waiting for the conscientious objector discharge from the Army in 1974 I asked God what He wanted me to do with my life Art was a strong interest of mine and for a long time I wished to become a commercial artist and art director As a still small voice in my mind I heard "Teacher Art" So that is what I've pursued I've dealt with all four categories of child abuse to some degree: neglect physical emotional and sexual It is the culmination of the training and experiences all the good ones as well as the painful scars that have lead to the development of the Star Coolality Kids and the direct influence of God in my life that the Star Poster Program has traversed its' courseThe Star Poster Program is designed as a collaborative altruism involving individuals organizations and businesses It teaches kids how to create posters by employing the elements of design along with words and graphics to successfully create immediate and long term emotional and intellectual impacts in the minds of other children and adults in light of social and environmental responsibilities Peer influence has been recognized for affecting behavior and is an important part of this system Ultimately the goal of the Star Poster Program is to aid children in making a committed effort toward the improvement of not just the local regional or national but also the greater collective global communityIn this age the media and sentiment seems to focus on the US military presence in other parts of the world and the billions of dollars spent on fights against terrorism They also spotlight those involved as heroes This may certainly be true However each day all over this country and around the world there are other battles just as important just as devastating to the victims of abuse The lives of tens of thousands of children are shockingly affected each day physically emotionally sexually and through neglect The children who battle their own circumstances of terror are truly heroesWhere are the billions of dollars spent on the terrors of child abuse There seems to be no hope for the government to expend needed assets on the war against child abuse It's just apparently not that important to politicians Subsequently it's up to us as individuals to try and fight these battles a little at a time to affect positive change Sometimes it doesn't take much but here and there it can mount up to a matter of monumental consequenceYou don't have to be wealthy a famous personality or a community leader to make a productive change to any degree I'm just a simple teacher that trains children in art in a small town in Texas who thus far has been on a fifty year odyssey in the development of art lessons for children a dedication to change the world one poster at a time I really don't make a sizeable transformation on the fight against child abuse It is the legacy I leave behind that actually makes a difference It's the Star Poster Program and the children who have learned to add a visual voice to their repertoire of communication skills in sharing their concerns hopes and dreams as a compass that leads toward a better community These children are our unsung heroes; they truly need our intervention support and prayersA fantasy of mine at the onset of this program was for Star Coolality Kid to someday win the Nobel Peace Prize after all Mickey Mouse won an Oscar why couldn't a cartoon character be recognized for influencing peaceful measures Now I have a greater more important and noble vision for Star helping children empower themselves to fight against abuses for them to make a positive difference in their own lives as well as those of othersAre you are willing to help affect a small difference toward a greater good in your community If so please go to the web site ursidaeenterprisescom to share free lessons on making posters and consider sponsoring a Star Poster Program contest in your community
