contributors 2022 after getting run over by her own school bus — now her family is pushing to create a law in her name Hazel + Root By Adrianne Larson It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jack Edward Sayre a remarkable man who touched the lives of many Jack was preceded in death by his parents and his stepson Jack’s journey was one of resilience and ambition he pursued higher education at Colorado State University where he laid the foundation for a life filled with purpose Jack and Annette exchanged vows in a celebration in Las Vegas marking the beginning of a beautiful partnership that would blossom over the years Jack possessed a sharp wit that brought joy and laughter to those around him He had a profound love for his feline companions and a unique spirit; he inspired those fortunate enough to know him to enjoy life’s simplicity and complexities To honor Jack’s incredible life and enduring legacy a celebration of life service will be held on

Cremation - Southeast Denver/Aurora The University is currently operating under normal conditions The Thomas Jefferson Award winner’s “Geoffervescence” is “a tremendous asset to philosophy as an academic field.” Geoffrey Sayre-McCord’s students describe him as “amazing,” “engaging,” “academically stimulating,” “respectful” and “brilliant” — as well as “a little goofy They make it clear that it’s not only the content of an introductory class like “Virtue Value and Happiness,” with its readings of Plato that has helped them explore the nature of value It’s also the enthusiastic way he teaches — moving through the classroom sharing personal stories — that provides them a living example of a man happy in his work and in his life “He finds a way to make dusty philosophic diatribes come alive and applies them well to the lives we live today,” one student wrote of the Morehead-Cain Alumni Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and the director of the philosophy, politics and economics program in the College of Arts and Sciences His introductory class addresses the basic questions of life What’s the connection between getting respect and flourishing?” Sayre-McCord said real issues that we ignore at our peril when we get caught up in the maelstrom of trying to make more money or get bigger houses.” Showing philosophy’s relevance to everyday life is a driving force behind the class and the rest of Sayre-McCord’s work at Carolina: his development of PPE program and the founding of the Parr Center for Ethics and the National High School Ethics Bowl the most prestigious teaching award in the UNC System given each year to a single instructor at each constituent institution Marc Lange reads the citation for the presentation of the 2022-23 Thomas Jefferson award as award recipient the Theda Perdue Distinguished Professor of philosophy quoted from students’ reviews and praised Sayre-McCord’s “Geoffervescence” as “a tremendous asset to philosophy as an academic field.” (Jon Gardiner/UNC-Chapel Hill) Another link between the Jefferson Award winner and the author of the Declaration of Independence is their focus on happiness who famously transformed John Locke’s list of natural rights from “life That pursuit led Sayre-McCord to college and philosophy He took a philosophy class his first semester and fell in love with the subject and with one of his classmates The Sayre-McCords were married in 1980 and have two children two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren Sayre-McCord’s attraction to philosophy was originally pursued a doctorate in philosophy She eventually switched to sociology because it offered her better job prospects “Philosophical thinking and discussion were a daily part of my life long before I had any idea what philosophy was,” he said Sayre-McCord’s focus in recent years has been the interdisciplinary PPE program the fast-growing program is the largest of its kind in the country The PPE minor requires five courses: one course each in philosophy with a PPE Gateway course to begin and a PPE Capstone to end Just what the next steps are for the PPE program is under discussion Possibilities include a PPE major or a four-plus-one degree in which a student could convert a minor in PPE into a master’s degree with one additional year of study The driving idea behind the interdisciplinary program is that the social and political institutions that shape our lives and opportunities can best be understood by bringing together the tools concepts and discoveries of the three disciplines “Each discipline shines a bright spotlight on social life revealing details that we would never see without the benefit of that discipline Yet each also casts a long shadow,” he observed “The PPE program seeks to minimize the shadows by bringing the three together.” Geoffrey Sayre-McCord (Jon Gardiner/UNC-Chapel Hill) A commitment to philosophy’s relevance to everyday life naturally led to Sayre-McCord’s involvement with the Parr Center for Ethics (which he helped establish in 2004) programs and events focusing upon ethical questions in the arts sciences and professions is the National High School Ethics Bowl The Ethics Bowl reaches approximately 4,000 high school students each year thought-provoking learning Sayre-McCord felt he didn’t get in his high school the teams discuss realistic scenarios that present ethical dilemmas The Ethics Bowl competitors don’t debate in the traditional sense teams must answer a difficult question prompted by the case and are scored on the quality of their contribution to a discussion about the question Sayre-McCord regularly asks students to interview an elder about a difficult moral decision they faced as a way to help them appreciate how moral theory can and does apply to people they know One example came from a student whose minister faced the dilemma of whether he should connect a parishioner with glaucoma to a parishioner who sold marijuana He would be facilitating an illegal activity But he would also be helping someone reduce her suffering To share that with the student was a genuine gift It offered an excellent example of the kind of choices people can find themselves facing,” Sayre-McCord said The dean of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy talks about her research The Well compiled all the details you need before

Tokyo A seminal figure in postwar Japanese photography, Daido Moriyama has spent decades capturing the visceral pulse of Shinjuku. His grainy, high-contrast black-and-white images dissolve narrative in favour of fleeting impressions, saturated with the tension and sensuality of the urban moment. For Moriyama, the city is not a backdrop but a living skin, with which he maintains a tactile, intuitive engagement. In contrast yet in resonance, Los Angeles-based artist Sayre Gomez creates photorealistic paintings that interrogate the psychological and visual clutter of American consumerism. Through airbrushed trompe l’oeil and semi-fictional depictions of decaying strip malls, cell towers and glowing signage, Gomez reconfigures urban banality into poetic fragments layered with irony and melancholy. From April 12 to May 31, Taka Ishii Gallery presents ‘Hellooooo’, a compelling cross-cultural dialogue between two artists deeply rooted in their respective cities. Curated by Matt Black, the exhibition unfolds across the gallery’s Kyobashi and Tennozu spaces. Together, Moriyama and Gomez transform urban detritus into icons, blurring the line between documentation and dream, memory and myth. facebooktwitterpinterestinstagramAbout us was selected as Utah’s 2025 Teacher of the Year She teaches 8th-grade History at Northwest Middle School in Salt Lake City where her imaginative and experiential approach to learning has resulted in regional and state-wide recognition for both herself and her students She and four other finalists were honored at a banquet dinner at the Utah State Capitol Posey also received a prestigious $10,000 award “I’ve had the privilege of working with Sayer Posey in several courses,” said Brian Ludlow “It’s inspiring to see one of our own graduates recognized for such an incredible achievement."

grandchildren and Anna (Shelly) Sayre; and too many nieces and nephews to mention here but the Island’s own world-renowned windsurfer is alive today because of the heroic response of a fellow kitesurfer after a harrowing accident near Big Bridge on Sengekontacket Pond on Friday Recently inducted into the Windsurfing Hall of Fame was midflight on his kiteboard at some 20 feet in the air when a sudden shift in wind direction sent him crashing headfirst into the water If it were not for Robert Harding — who goes by Bear and is the first mate of the sailboat Juno in Vineyard Haven Harbor — Sayre very likely would have died “In the absolute moment of truth and the ultimate test you never know how you will respond,” Sayre told The Times “Bear was the absolute perfect person in the perfect place at the perfect time with the best training and fitness and wherewithal to save my life “I am forever in gratitude to Bear,” Sayre said but someone who is trained in lifesaving skills and was in the right place at the right time “Anyone would have done the same,” he said “Part of being a member of the community as a waterman you have to be willing to support each other.”  Bear and Sayre are bound together by the tight-knit community of the Vineyard’s waterfront and water-sport community but the life-saving experience has brought the two closer together highlights the need for the right equipment to be readily available on Island waterfronts and beaches especially a long surfboard that could help reach someone in distress On an Island with such a vibrant community of athletes They hope telling the story will remind others about the importance of knowing CPR and other lifesaving skills The Times gathered what happened on Friday at Sengekontacket through firsthand accounts and from emergency officials near 70° with strong Northeast winds — good conditions for Sengekontacket Pond and kitesurfers can fly right along the shorefront sometimes allowing them to jump directly over spectators below and one other kitesurfer were on the water Sayre said that he was feeling a little off his game and he had recently been spending more time with a different watersport called wing foiling Sayre believes he was about 30 yards from shore and near Big Bridge when it happened In what was likely a combination of bad timing with a shift in the wind and an error on his end if not higher — when his kite suddenly shifted the wind pulling him headfirst into the water with extreme force “My memory stopped midair and I remember thinking Sayre lay face first in the water after the impact from what he estimates was about 100 yards away and arrived within what he believes was 30 seconds he turned Sayre on his back and saw that he was unconscious “He was gray and turning blue when I got to him,” Bear said but it seemed like nothing was happening at first.” Bear ejected the kitesurfing equipment from both of them and grabbed Sayre in a “bear hug.” He started speaking to him and reassuring him that everything would be OK the two had drifted 150 to 200 yards from shore he held Sayre and swam toward shore using his legs because he had taken in so much water; Bear had to work to keep his chin above water As he was bringing him to shore over a number of minutes seemingly responding to Bear’s efforts; and his color started to return When they were about 20 or 30 yards from shore a bystander named Quinn Keefe swam out to meet them to offer assistance witnessed the impact and was the first to call emergency responders He grabbed a foam board and raced out to meet Bear and Sayre as they were coming closer to shore emergency responders from both Edgartown and Oak Bluffs were there to meet them Sayre remembers coming into consciousness as he was jostled into the back of an ambulance He remembers people on the beach shouting and coaxing him on Bear was the absolute perfect person in the perfect place at the perfect time Miraculously — a testament to Sayre’s fortitude and to the amazement of the medical staff — Sayre hadn’t suffered any broken bones or brain damage and no evidence of a concussion.’ No brain damage He did have a significant amount of water in his lungs and there was a concern that he might get an infection from all the water Sayre said that he’s lucky the tide was coming into the pond freshwater with an outgoing tide — mixed with wastewater from nearby septic systems — and he might be telling a different story but he otherwise felt fine — so much so that it was recommended that he move out of the ICU But there were no beds available in the rest of the hospital Sayre chokes up when he retells how the nurses and doctors were amazed to see him leave straight from the ICU either get moved from the ICU and stay for weeks or months in the hospital The nurses at the Intensive Care Unit at Brigham and Women’s told me they had never seen anyone walk out of the ICU under their own power,” Sayre said One of the first things Sayre did when he got back to the Island was meet with Bear on Monday night The two talked through what happened for hours They had been friends and acquaintances on the water beforehand but their relationship took on new meaning after the rescue “I’m so impressed with this guy,” Sayre said Sayre is hopeful that the story won’t discourage others from the sport He has been windsurfing and kiteboarding for decades and has gotten to a level where he can take risks He has been shifting toward wing foiling recently which he considers a safer and more accessible sport and expects to be on the water soon (if he hasn’t been already “I love doing this; it would kill me not to do it.” he’s committed to making things safer for himself and everyone else who enjoys the water on the Vineyard and further water safety training,” Sayre said “I also want to dedicate myself to making sure there is a lifeguard rescue surfboard 24/7 at the Big Bridge A floaty rescue board would have made a big difference.” Charles Sennott contributed to this report Bear is a true hero.
