For the past five years, the Broadalbin-Perth boys' soccer program's Patriot Pink Out has been as much about increasing breast cancer awareness and raising funds for the American Cancer Society as it has been about playing the game. The Patriot Pink Out soccer match has become a huge community event to help increase awareness about cancer and pay tribute to those community members that have battled or are currently battling cancer. Each year, the game has been dedicated to individuals that have taken this disease head on and have beaten it or are currently fighting it. They have been a source of strength and inspiration to many and their courage gives us all hope.

 

Both the junior varsity and varsity soccer teams wear pink uniforms and play with pink soccer balls for this event.

 

The Patriot Pink Out started in 2009, when the boys' soccer team dedicated its season to high school principal Robin Blowers, who was battling cancer at the time. Blowers' cancer is currently in remission.

 

Since 2009, the Patriot Pink Out has raised approximately $15,000.00 for cancer research. It is a tremendous community event with a festival atmosphere and certainly one of the biggest highlights of all Section 2 sports in the New York State Capital District area.

Militares pedem nivelamento de salário com outras carreiras

Em audiência pública na Comissão de Direitos Humanos e Legislação Participativa (CDH) do Senado, representantes dos militares ativos e aposentados debateram a defasagem na remuneração do setor. Ao final da audiência, o senador Paulo Paim (PT-RS), que a presidiu, prometeu encaminhar um documento com o pleito da categoria às autoridades competentes.

 

Segundo relatos dos participantes da audiência, desde a edição da Medida Provisória 2215/2001, a situação dos militares começou a se deteriorar progressivamente. A MP acabou com gratificações como adicional de inatividade e o chamado “posto acima” - promoção que o militar recebia ao passar para a reserva. Outros auxílios também foram retirados pela medida, como o auxílio moradia e a licença-prêmio.

 

O presidente da Associação dos Militares da Reserva, Reformados e Pensionistas das Forças Armadas, Genivaldo da Silva, citou essas perdas como um dos principais motivos da defasagem de remuneração.

 

- Por isso que nós estamos hoje com um salário superdefasado. E além dessas questões aqui citadas, nós ficamos dez anos sem um real de aumento – disse.

 

Genivaldo informou que um segundo-sargento das Forças Armadas ganha R$ 2,7 mil com 30 anos de serviço. Um capitão das Forças Armadas recebe R$ 5,3 mil – salário considerado baixo se comparado a outras categorias.

 

- Ganha menos do que um soldado da Polícia Militar do DF e dos Bombeiros, que são excelentes profissionais. Nós tiramos o chapéu para eles, mas não podemos ganhar menos do que eles.

 

Salário-família

 

Outra reclamação recorrente durante a audiência foi o salário-família que os militares recebem para ajudar no custeio da educação de seus dependentes, no valor de apenas R$ 0,16 por filho. A presidente da Federação da Família Militar, Rita Deinstmann, comparou o benefício ao que recebe a família de um presidiário.

 

- Por que o dependente de um presidiário recebe R$ 915 e nós recebemos R$ 0,16? É uma vergonha! – reclamou.

 

O senador Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB-DF) esteve na audiência e deu apoio aos militares. Para ele, a valorização da categoria deve ser uma questão de interesse nacional, devido à importância do trabalho no país. Segundo o senador, a defesa de riquezas como a Amazônia e o pré-sal é um imenso desafio para o Brasil, que conta com as Forças Armadas.

 

- Hoje vivemos num ambiente de paz, e todos nós torcemos para permanecer assim. Mas a gente sabe que não pode se descuidar para uma eventualidade de o Brasil ter que defender o seu território ou suas riquezas. Portanto, a questão dos militares não é uma questão apenas dos militares – afirmou Rollemberg.

 

Paim sugeriu a realização de uma reunião com a categoria em seu gabinete para formular um documento com o pleito dos militares e prometeu todo o apoio para sensibilizar as autoridades competentes.

 

- Farei de tudo para ajudar para que os pleitos cheguem lá e que, oxalá, eles sejam efetivamente atendidos – prometeu.

CDH debate situação de militares reformados e pensionistas (Da Redação)

 

Começou a audiência pública da Comissão de Direitos Humanos e Legislação Participativa (CDH) para debater a situação de militares reformados e pensionistas. O senador Paulo Paim (PT-RS), autor do requerimento para realização do debate, afirmou que o tema é urgente, pois os militares são os servidores mais mal remunerados do país.

 

- Os militares sempre tiveram uma remuneração modesta, mas depois de 2001 a situação começou a piorar gradativamente – lamentou Paim em seu discurso em Plenário na última sexta (22).

 

Paim lembrou, logo no início da reunião, que a realização dessa audiência é um compromisso assumido quando ainda era presidente da CDH. Em fevereiro deste ano, ele foi substituído na função pela senadora Ana Rita (PT-ES), que também terá dois anos de mandato.

 

Foram convidados para o debate o representante da Associação de Praças das Forças Armadas (APRAFA), Antonio Vicente da Silva; e os presidentes da Federação da Família Militar do DF (FAMIL), Cantidio Rosa Dantas; da Comissão Nacional QESA Brasil (CNQB), Eduardo Souza Silva; da Associação dos Militares da Reserva, Reformados e Pensionistas das Forças Armadas (AMARP), Genivaldo da Silva; da União Nacional de Esposas de Militares das Forças Armadas (UNEMFA), Ivone Luzardo; da Federação da Família Militar - Mulher/DF (FAMIL Mulher), Rita Deinstmann; e da Confederação Nacional da Família Militar (CONFAMIL), Waldemar da Mouta.

 

A audiência está sendo realizada na sala 2 da Ala Senador Nilo Coelho e é presidida por Paulo Paim.

Portraits of Hope Teams with Gain

New York City: Laundry - Laundromat/Lavanderia Makeovers -- Bronx, East Harlem, Washington Heights Portraits of Hope's Laundromat Public Art and Civic Initiative

 

Conceived and developed by Ed Massey and Bernie Massey, Founders of Portraits of Hope www.portraitsofhope.org

 

A select group of laundromats in New York City now beam colors and flowers throughout their interior settings -- on ceilings, walls, washing machines, dryers, floors, and tables -- as part of Portraits of Hope’s latest creative therapy, civic education, public art and community undertaking involving children in hospitals, schools, and social service programs.

 

This Portraits of Hope public art and civic initiative is a continuation of the program’s large-scale, national projects which have visually transformed and brightened public settings and symbols ranging from the NYC taxi fleet, blimps, planes, and buildings to LA’s coastal lifeguard towers, NASCAR race cars, and frontline fire and rescue vehicles.

 

Gain has partnered with Portraits of Hope to beautify and enhance the laundromat settings and experience through participatory community opportunities culminating in the public art makeovers.

 

Traditionally, Portraits of Hope selects iconic public settings and symbols for its visual makeovers that people routinely take for granted or expect will continue to be “the same as they've always been.” For this project, POH and Gain have picked a set of locations that are almost universally taken for granted: Laundromats/Lavanderias. These venues are necessities for millions of people -- and in urban areas, laundromats also do double-duty as mini-social centers or places where adults with their kids spend hours of time. POH and Gain decided to change the visual dynamic of that experience and add positive energy to those settings.

 

After visiting 170 NYC laundromats as potential sites for Portraits of Hope laundromat makeovers, POH narrowed it down and selected six; four in South Bronx and two in upper Manhattan: Washington Heights and Spanish Harlem.

 

Children and youth in the Bronx and Harlem, among others, have participated in Portraits of Hope art, creative therapy, and civic leadership sessions in schools and hospitals in which much of the art has been created. The vibrantly hued art is floral themed -- as the flower is the universal symbol of beauty, joy, life, renewal, and nature. The flower is a theme integral to Portraits of Hope.

 

For the Laundromat project, Ed Massey designed special exhibition elements including chandeliers, freestanding lamps, laundry baskets, carts, fountains, corn hole boards, and recycling containers to enliven the laundromat makeovers.

 

The 2D and 3D art and designs in the laundromats are everywhere -- whether looking up, down, forward, back, or side to side -- making these New York laundromats the most unique and festive anywhere.

 

Background:

 

Portraits of Hope conceives and develops high-profile motivational art projects that merge the production of dynamic public art works with creative therapy for hospitalized children and civic education for children of all ages.

 

Special Portraits of Hope brushes and methodologies have been developed for children and adults with illnesses and physical disabilities, including telescope brushes for those in wheel chairs or attached to IVs, shoe brushes for people unable to manipulate a brush with their hands, and fruit-flavored mouth brushes for kids and adults with limited or no movement in their limbs. For persons who are blind or visually impaired, Portraits of Hope utilizes special textured paints.

 

In schools, Portraits of Hope participants engage in interdisciplinary education sessions in which students assess, discuss and communicate their thoughts on social issues affecting their communities and the world, including: civic leadership, education, health care, the environment, foreign aid, and senior care. The larger art collaboration is a group effort to demonstrate tangibly the power of community teamwork and civic engagement.

 

Founded by brothers Ed Massey and Bernie Massey, Portraits of Hope has engaged tens of thousands of children and adults in huge civic collaborations - in the U.S. and abroad – and involved nearly 1,000 hospitals, schools, and social service programs in its projects.

 

The exhibition will run through Summer 2014 – or until a later date determined by the participating Laundromats.

 

Laundromat locations:

 

1. "Up All Night Laundromat," 1965 Amsterdam Ave., Washington Heights

2. "All Clean Laundromat," 2035 3rd Ave, East Harlem

3. "Happy Family Laundromat," 275 E. 163rd St, Bronx

4. "3rd Ave Laundromat," 3825 3rd Ave, Bronx

5. "Super Coin Laundromat," 938 E 163rd St, Bronx

6. "Clean Circle Laundromat," 1210 Webster Ave, Bronx

 

Portraits of Hope is extremely grateful to Proctor & Gamble and Gain for exemplifying civic spirit and generosity in making the project possible and for sharing in the project’s themes and goals which has allowed for the beautification of these community Laundromats.

 

Portraits of Hope gives bear hugs to: New York Cares and their teams of outstanding volunteers who participated in hospital and school sessions for another POH project; Hudson River Park and its staff which has been involved in 3 POH projects; MACtac which has provided top performing adhesive material for multiple POH national projects; and Laird Plastics, national materials suppliers, who provide great product know-how, recycling capabilities, and wonderful civic spirit.

 

Portraits of Hope gives a loud shout-out to the laundromats selected for the project and, of course, to the hundreds of children who had a chance to participate in its sessions and are the stars of the initiative. www.portraitsofhope.org

 

Healing Touch Program's 2014 Worldwide Conference, Schaumburg, IL, August 14-17

It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.

 

The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.

 

SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.

 

"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."

 

SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.

 

"She made a big difference," Pickard said.

 

Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.

 

The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.

 

The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.

 

Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.

 

"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."

 

Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.

 

"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.

 

The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.

Penn Theatre Arts Fall 2015 Mainstage Production

 

Directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter.

 

The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, BURY THE DEAD, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers. About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried?
