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? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.
Performances:
November 18–21, 7:00pm
@ Annenberg Center Live, Bruce Montgomery Theatre

25 Mar. 2013 - Comissão de Direitos Humanos discute a remuneração dos militares
Os convidados da audiência pública reclamaram da perda de benefícios adquiridos durante a carreira e pediram a equiparação dos atuais rendimentos com outras categorias do funcionalismo público.

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.

In June 2012, Bastrop Main Street Program’s Entrepreneur-Ready Leadership Team was responsible for Bastrop being only the second city in Texas to be awarded the designation of an “Entrepreneur-Ready Community” by the Texas Center for Rural Entrepreneurship.
As a part of this project and in partnership with Bastrop High School Business Department, student finalists presented their business plans for a start-up business in Bastrop to a panel of judges on May 2, 2013. Students were vying for over $850 in scholarship money.
These are pictures of the event were taken by Upstart Bastrop thanks to Bastrop Main Street Program and the Entrepreneur-Ready Leadership 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.

Antietam National Battlefield is seen in Sharpsburg, Md., on Nov. 5, 2017. The battle of Antietam was one of five Civil War battlefields that in the 1890s came under the administration of the War Department as a park. Almost a century later, the prospect of encroaching development led to a series of public-private partnerships that today extend preservation beyond the battlefield to the surrounding viewscape. Those efforts allow visitors to maintain a strong sense of what Antietam felt like on September 17, 1862, when well over 100,000 soldiers fought at relatively close range in a stalemate that gave President Lincoln enough of a Union victory to issue his Emancipation Proclamation.

MEDIA NEWS RELEASE
Show Me City Residents Eligible
For Flood Insurance Discounts
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has officially accepted Missouri City into the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System, qualifying residents to receive discounted premiums when they purchase new policies or when an effective policy is renewed.
Based on the City's strong CRS score of "7", the average homeowner of a $150,000 house in a floodplain, who has a $50,000 content coverage, could see an $86 a year insurance discount. Residents who live in Special Flood Hazard Areas will receive a 15 percent reduction on their flood insurance premiums and those located outside these areas will receive a 5 percent discount.
Missouri City applied for participation in the federal flood management program last August and received its preliminary score based on the City's documentation of existing practices and on improvements that were subsequently made. The first-time rating is significant because most cities enter the program with an 8 or 9 rating, City officials said. The National Flood Insurance Program, an arm of FEMA, rates U.S. cities on their efforts to implement preventive floodplain management measures and these standards are called the Community Rating System. The CRS program rates cities' flood management practices through a 1 to 10 point system that rewards them for implementing organized and proactive measures (1 is the best score and 10 the worst).
"Missouri City's years of proactive practice in drainage improvements and flood prevention have paid off, evident by the CRS scores we received," said Jing Chen, assistant City engineer.
In recognition of the Show Me City's participation in the program, Council members and staff received a certificate of honor from a representative for the Texas Water Development Board, the state coordinator for NFIP. While presenting the certificate at the June 21 City Council meeting, Debbie Cahoon said the "City's work in implementing programs and policies that protect residents from flooding went beyond the minimum floodplain requirements and has helped make Missouri City a safer place to live."
Notable achievements the City has made as a participant in the voluntary CRS program include public education initiatives such as promoting the awareness of the importance of acquiring flood insurance, sharing flood map information services, preserving open space and administering a flood warning program.
