South Carolina National Guard Soldiers, and fire department/EMS rescuers with the S.C. Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (SC-HART) program, S.C. Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 (SC-TF1), perform hoist and rescue-training operations aboard a UH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter during “Patriot South 2017 Exercise” (Patriot South 17), a joint training-exercise focused on natural disaster-response and preparedness, Gulfport and Port Bienville Industrial Complex (PBIC), Mississippi, Jan. 31, 2017. Patriot South 17 is taking place at multiple locations across Mississippi, from January 23 through February 7, 2017, and it offers the National Guard and its local and federal partners a realistic-training opportunity to test response capabilities, procedures, and readiness through a simulated earthquake and Tsunami scenario “hitting the coastal areas of the state.” In preparation for future operations, South Carolina’s Headquarters and Headquarters and (-) Company A 2-151st Security and Support Aviation Battalion, 59th Aviation Troop Command, deployed both its current HART-capable platforms, the UH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter and its LUH-72A Lakota light utility helicopter--the latter being a recent addition to the HART program for South Carolina.

Oberlin theater program's production of Terrence McNally's irreverent comedy, Where has Tommy Flowers Gone? ran December 8th through 10th. The show is a quick-paced tour de force in which the main character takes the audience on a wild roller-coaster ride of comic sketches, dramatic scenes, anti-authoritarian diatribes, and fantasy sequences that collectively portray his life, personality, and politics.

Annenberg Center Live
On Thursday evening, October 29th, in partnership with the Theatre Arts Program’s fall production of Bury the Dead, a war play by Irwin Shaw directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter, members of the University of Pennsylvania Student Veterans Association (UPSVA) and Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) attended a rehearsal of the play. Following a discussion with the cast, Warrior Writers of Philadelphia conducted a writing and art-making workshop with the veterans that focused on some of the issues raised in the production. In particular, they wrote and created art on the subject of “thoughts of home,” which is central to the action of the play and to veterans’ experience during deployment. Some of the work created will be displayed in the lobby of the Bruce Montgomery Theater, Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, during the run of the production, November 18-21 at 7:00.

Participants in the Florida Master Naturalist Program's Coastal Restoration Course volunteered with Tampa Bay Watch to place oyster homes around Fanatasy Island in Hillsborough County. Oysters will eventually settle on the domes, resembling a natural oyster reef. The new reef will serve as a living shoreline to prevent coastal erosion and improve water clarity.
Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg’s Induction into the Teaching Profession Ceremony showcased the heart of the education program’s mission of preparing educators who are ready to lead, inspire, and transform classrooms from day one. The celebration opened with affirmation that these graduates are stepping into the profession equipped with “critical thinking… problem solving… and communication skills” drawn from a rigorous, real world Bloomsburg education.
Keynote speaker Jeremy Winn, superintendent of Shikellamy School District and proud Bloomsburg alumnus, delivered a compelling call to action rooted in the unforgettable story of Mrs. Thompson and Teddy Stoddard. His message was clear — great teachers don’t just deliver content — they change lives by seeing potential where others see obstacles.
“Be the person who notices. Be the person who cares,” he urged.
S.O.S. Remar en Ecuador informa de su trabajo solidario
EL PROGRAMA S.O.S. REMAR EN ECUADOR SIGUE INCREMENTANDO LA ATENCIÓN A LOS DAMNIFICADOS DEL SEÍSMO.
El 16 de abril la tierra tembló en Manabí y Esmeraldas dejando miles de viviendas destruidas y decenas de miles de personas en situación de gran necesidad. La comunidad internacional se movilizó de inmediato con equipos de rescate y apoyo material de asistencia básica y la ONG REMAR en su delegación de la República de Ecuador con su director, Miguel Maté, al frente pusieron de inmediato en marcha el protocolo S.O.S. REMAR que la ONG tiene diseñado para situaciones de emergencia y que ha funcionado con éxito en las catástrofes de Haití, Colombia y en la crisis de refugiados por ilustrar solo con unos ejemplos recientes.
S.O.S. REMAR ECUADOR acudió con sus voluntarios a la zona para participar en las tareas de rescate y proporcionar alimentos y ropa a las víctimas del impresionante seísmo que costó la vida a más de 660 personas.
Nos llegan ahora imágenes del reparto de raciones de comida caliente en la ciudad de Manta dónde se entregan cada día alimentos cocinados a más de seiscientas personas y también de la instalación de una nueva carpa en Playita Mía en la localidad de Tarqui de la misma provincia de Manta.
La reconstrucción de la zona afectada del país llevará tiempo y recursos económicos cifrados en más de 3.000 millones de dólares y, mientras todo vuelve a la normalidad, la ayuda internacional debe incrementarse por las graves dificultades que atraviesa una población carente de recursos que ha visto cómo lo poco que tenía se perdía con la tragedia natural sufrida.
Cualquier ayuda por insignificante que pueda parecer será útil para que los voluntarios de REMAR ECUADOR puedan continuar esta importante labor de socorro y la ONG desde España y otros puntos en los que trabaja tiene previsto el envío de contenedores de ayuda extraordinaria a Ecuador por lo que hace un llamamiento a empresarios, instituciones y particulares para que colaboren en las medidas de sus posibilidades. Entre todos el AMOR se abre paso y las dificultades, con la ayuda de Dios, desaparecen. Más información en info@remar.org

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.
