In 1962, in New York, four women from South Carolina formed The Gypsies. They were Lestine Johnson and sisters Ernestine Pearce, Shirley Pearce and Betty Pearce. In 1964, they signed to Old Town Records, where they released their debut single "Hey There, Hey There". The song only achieved airplay on local radio stations, but their next single was more successful. "Jerk It" was a major hit for the quartet in 1965, after the song charted at #111 (Pop Chart) and #33 (R&B). Despite the small success Lestine Johnson left, being replaced by Viola Bullips. Only two more singles were released on Old Town Records through 1966, giving them a grand total of four. That year, now on Josie Records, the four women redubbed themselves The Flirtations and released the classic Northern Soul song "Change My Darkness Into Light". Despite it being a great ballad (unlike the forgettable B-side "Natural Born Lover"), it was ignored by DJ's and taken for granted in sales. After the release flopped, they moved to Festival Records where they released the now-famous songs "Stronger Than Her Love" and "Settle Down" as a single. Unfortunately, this song also failed to spark much interest (sounding old-fashioned at the time). Betty Pearce left the group, reducing the Flirtations to a trio. Packing up their bags and heading for England after winning a small local talent contest in 1968 to see who could sound the most like the Supremes, they signed to the Parrot label. Tom Jones was signed to the label at that time. Their only release was "Someone Out There" b/w "How Can You Tell Me". Although the song got much more airplay and much more recognition than their others, it still did little. Next the trio went to Deram Records in late 1968 and released a catchy Phil Spector-styled number, "Nothing But A Heartache". The B-Side was a Christmas song entitled "Christmastime Is Here Again". The record was then re-released in early 1969 with another B-side ("How Can You Tell Me") in the United States. In March the song entered the chart and entered the Billboard Hot Top 40 in May, peaking at #34. The song also made #31 in Cash Box. The follow-up was not as much of a dance tune as the first single was. "South Carolina" was a mere inferior ballad that only made #111 pop in July 1969. In 1970, "Keep On Searching" was released and did nothing, bubbling under the Hot 100 at #133. However, this is partially due to confusion over whether the newest single was "Searching" or "What's Good About Goodbye My Love". "What's Good About Goodbye My Love" rocketed quickly to #17 R&B in early 1970 but it did not chart in the Billboard Hot 100 or Billboard Bubbling Under chart. In July 1970, they scored another hit with the original version of Tom Jones' "Can't Stop Loving You". The song bubbled under the Top 100 in the US at #101 and made #96 in Cash Box. 1971 saw their sixth and last Deram single, "Give Me Love". It was not one of the best songs on their 1970 LP "Sounds Like the Flirtations", and so did not do well on the charts, making only #105 Billboard. The rest of their singles were not released in the U.S. Throughout the Seventies, they released classics on various labels like "Little Darling (I Need You)", "Take Me In Your Arms (& Love Me)", "Hold On To Me Babe" and "Love A Little Longer" on Polydor in 1971 and 1972. In 1973, releases were seen on Mojo Records with "Why Didn't I Think of That". In 1975, RCA saw three more singles: "Dirty Work", "Mr. Universe", and "One Night of Love" which could have been hits with the right promotion but gained enough sales and airplay for another LP entitled "Love Makes the World Go Round" just before 1976. 1977 saw a disco song "Earthquake", which had a 12-inch version that was a big hit in 1983. Loretta Noble replaced Viola Bullips in 1972. Viola Bullips had a solo career as Vi and as Pearly Gates. The Flirtations sang high energy songs like "Time", "Earthquake", "Read All About It" and "Back On My Feet Again" through 1989 as they continued their long career. [edit] (Less)
Psychology students tackle real-world issues Michael Brown

Edmonton -- Done right, teaching can have an impact beyond the lecture hall. Done exceptionally well, those lessons take on lives of their own.
That's what has happened with the Psychology 400/409 Honours Seminar II full-year course Connie Varnhagen taught last year -- its effects are still being felt today.
"The goal of the class is to help students develop professional skills in communications, information literacy, time management, team work -- all that sort of stuff," said Varnhagen "As professionals they need to be able to transfer their research to a lay audience. You can't go tell your grandmother that you're studying aggression in convict cichlids because grandma's not going to know what you're talking about and why you would be studying fish."
"You have to be able to talk about what you're doing in any science in terms that any layman can understand and that helps society advance."
As one of their major assignments, each of three groups of students selected a target age group and a relevant health topic for that group. The students then translated the latest research on that health topic into an appropriate visual medium for their audience.
One group selected children and stress. They realized that they needed to target parents and decided that a public service television announcement would be the best medium for disseminating information about stress among kids. Working with KidshaveStressToo.org, a program of the Psychology Foundation of Canada, a local filmmaker and child actors, the group produced a 30 second public service announcement that is currently airing on City TV Edmonton and Calgary.
"There are so many pressures on kids that we thought it would be good just to raise awareness of it," said Emily Handford who, along with Karen Ross and StephanieYan, produced the dramatic commercial that puts children in adult situations, to communicate the fact that children suffer from stress as much as adults do. "It already had a well-developed website around it so we decided to make a commercial around it, to hopefully send people to the website and raise awareness about it."
With a budget of $500 and the help of local filmmakers Tyler MacIntyre and Ian Ketehu, the threesome went about begging and borrowing their way to a television commercial.
"Karen had the idea of having kids dressed up in actual office attire," said Handford, whose team borrowed kids from their own families and a local theatre group. "The idea was these are some things that cause stress in adults, and although that doesn't cause stress in kids it kind of grabs people's attention."
The group consulted with U of A sociology professor Lisa Strohschein, who conducts research into the effects of divorce and different stressors on children, to help develop the commercial's theme, and then put it into script form on the advice of Silvana Babchishin, a television commercial writing instructor. From there it was a day of lights, camera, action.
"Our hope was to get it on TV eventually," said Handford. "At the end of class we had the commercial done, and Karen did a lot of work over the summer to finish off the process of getting it on TV."
Because KidshaveStressToo.org is a non-profit organization, the commercial is categorized as a public service announcement, which TV stations run for free. As luck would have it, City TV agreed to run the announcement in its Edmonton and Calgary markets 12 times a week from October - December.
"It was kind of cool when I came across it on late-night TV, but my sister phoned me and said she saw it on Ugly Betty in prime time on Sunday night," said Handford. "That was more than we ever hoped for."
The TV exposure was just one of three success stories that last year's class produced.
Another group selected the diagnosis of schizophrenia in young adults for their project. With the help of the Edmonton Chapter of the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta, the students designed a series of facts-and-myths posters entitled Let's Talk Schizophrenia that was displayed in a poster campaign in the City of Edmonton's transit fleet.
A third group selected the issue of HIV/AIDS among seniors. Working with pharmacists and several local HIV/AIDS groups, the students developed a brochure, AIDS Doesn't See Age, targeted specifically for older adults.
