Jim Hershberger ’82, MA ’97
Jim Hershberger entered CTP in 1994 (one of the program’s first two
full-time students) to “re-tool” himself, as he puts it. “I
thought it would give me some options in terms of future
employment.”
Two years later Jim began work in the Harrisonburg
Refugee Resettlement Office. He found his conflict
transformation training handy when dealing with the
school system. One teacher, for example, became frightened
when a child recently arrived from Yugoslavia kept
drawing pictures of tanks, bombs and people dying. Jim
was able to explain that the boy’s own home had been
bombed and that people close to the boy had been killed.
When a hurricane devastated Nicaragua in the fall of
1998, the Hershbergers returned to that country for a year
to do relief work sponsored by Mennonite Central Committee.
Jim next became the pastor of Beldor Mennonite
Church in Elkton, Virginia, a village 18 miles east of
Harrisonburg. He pastored for nine years, sometimes addressing
conflicts within his congregation, before returning
to the Refugee Resettlement Program as its director in
September 2010.

www.facebook.com/swiftofipswich/
The TopSail Youth Program’s original vessel. She is a 70-foot wooden topsail schooner designed by Howard Chappelle and built in 1938 by William Robinson.
Originally built in Ipswich, Massachusetts (launched in 1939) as a private yacht, Swift of Ipswich is a reduced-scale replica of Swift, an American privateer (a state-sanctioned pirate ship that attacks enemy shipping) from the Revolutionary War, which was captured by the Royal Navy, transported to Britain, and deconstructed.
The drawings produced from the original Swift have been used as the basis for several tall ship designs, mostly due to their completeness in an era which produced few detailed drawings (most ship designs having been scale models which have not survived intact).
Soon after completion, Swift of Ipswich was sold to actor James Cagney and transported to Newport Beach, where she served as his private yacht and appeared in numerous Hollywood films.
After being sold by Cagney in 1958, the Swift was used for various purposes, such as harbor tours, before being acquired by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute in 1991.
After the delivery of the twin brigantines Irving Johnson and Exy Johnson, Swift went into semi-retirement while fundraising proceeded to begin an extensive rebuilding, necessary after over 65 years of wear, tear, and exposure to salt water.
Once work began, workers discovered that many more repairs would be needed. Structural and design changes were required to comply with updated Coast Guard regulations.Work now progresses on the reconstruction. The ship is now in the water at LA Maritime Institute’s yard near at the south end of (the former) Ports O’ Call Village, where the remaining work will be done in the institute’s Building G workshop on site.

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

The N-1 rocket was the Soviet space program's answer to America's Saturn V for the race to the moon. Nearly as tall as the Saturn at almost 345 feet, it was capable of producing over 2 million pounds more thrust from its kerosene/ liquid oxygen engines. While NASA chose to develop new large engines for the Saturn's first stage from scratch, the Soviets chose to use a cluster of 30 smaller, off-the-shelf engines in an attempt to save development time and costs. This proved to be an unmanageable arrangement, and the project was canceled after four failed launch attempts. This exhibit was built by Jimbo Perhaps.

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.
