Monday, October 24, 2016Neri, 46, moved to Boise in 2004 for her BSU position, along with her husband, sound artist Ted Apel. The couple met as undergraduate students at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif.Her death is the second major loss for the BSU art department in recent years. In 2015, art professor Cheryl Shurtleff died of breast cancer.A visual culture scholar, Neri’s research looked at the role of images in the construction of knowledge about nature during the early modern period (1400-1800). She published her book, “The Insect and the Image: Visualizing Nature in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1700,” in 2011.She shared an aesthetic and interest in nature and art with BSU Visual Arts Center Gallery director, lecturer and friend Kirsten Furlong. The two collaborated on several projects.“Janice was incredibly smart and a really interesting scholar,” Furlong says. “I was so interested in what she was doing from her first interview.”With a strong understanding of what was traditional in art, Neri could often offer new and unique perspectives on the work of her colleagues and students.“She was funny with a dry sense of humor,” Furlong says. “Really sweet and always positive. With everything she went through in the past six years, she was always just will...
Monday, July 18, 2016Republicans to influence state policy despite being far outnumbered by Democrats in the Legislature, said Douglas Johnson, a research fellow at the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College. They showed that conservatives could start a conversation in the Legislature, then build momentum before going directly to voters with a ballot initiative, he said.“Most of the time, when we talk about political couples historically, the man holds the office and the woman is behind the scenes advising him,” Johnson said. “They were not like that. She was often holding office, and they were an equal team.”Runner is the first California lawmaker to die in office since Sen. Jenny Oropeza, D-Long Beach, died in 2010, said Alex Vassar, who studies legislative history and runs the One Voter Project website.Following her high-profile illness and recovery, Runner volunteered with organizations committed to increasing organ donations.“It would be a great tribute to her memory for more Californians to sign up to be part of this vital program,” Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, said in a statement.___Associated Press writer Alison Noon also contributed to this story.
Monday, June 06, 2016The two met while Hasti, who grew up in the Twin Cities, was in school in California from 2009-10. Hasti attended a one-year post-baccalaureate pre-med program at Scripps College in Claremont. Sarkar seemed like a quiet, smart man, but he was “real hyper,” Johnson said. “He had trouble sleeping. He just needed to see a doctor.”Johnson said she didn’t know whether there was any animosity or anger after the two split. “I would ask about him and Ashley would say, ‘He’s got his own place and he’s doing just fine.’?”At a midday news conference, Beck said Sarkar left a note at the UCLA scene asking authorities to check on his cat. That led police to the St. Paul apartment, where a second note with the “kill list” led them to Hasti’s body.St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders said he could only confirm that the department searched an apartment in the 1000 block of Agate Street, traced to Sarkar through police and court records, to assist another agency. He said a suspicious package was found nearby and rendered safe by the bomb squad. At the request of Los Angeles police, Brooklyn Park authorities arrived at Hasti’s home in the 2400 block of Pearson Parkway and found her dead inside from a gunshot wound.“What I can tell you is we believe she was deceased prior to the UCLA shooting Wednesday, but because it is so early in the investigation the timing [of her death] we don’t know at this point,” said Brooklyn Park Deputy Chief Mark Bruley.There were no other police calls that week to the home.Sarkar’s only contact with police aside from Wednesday’s search was in 2006 for a traffic accident.Hasti was stellar studentAt the time of her death, Hasti was enrolled for the summer term in the University of Minnesota Medical School, a university spokesman said. She’d been enrolled in the med school continuously since 2012. In 2008, she received a bachelor’s degree from the U in Asian languages and literatures, the spokesman said.Jason McGrath, an associate professor at the U, taught two of her undergraduate classes. Even 10 years later, he remembers her earning top grades and having a warm personality, he said. In a recommendation letter for Hasti’s pre-med program, McGrath described her as “a student of rare intelligence and talent” who wrote a paper so good that he asked her if he could post it anonymously to the course website as an example to other students.“She was one of the best students of her time,” he said. “She had an easy familiarity in talking even to her professors, which was appreciated because you like students who are approachable and don’t keep you at arm’s length.”Hasti ...
