Potsdam, NY 13676
Kristin Esterberg, President
Raymond Hall/SUNY Potsdam
44 Pierrepont Avenue
Potsdam, New York 13676-2294
03 October 2014
Dear President Esterberg:
This is to confirm the arrangements for the Labor-Management meeting of
Thursday, October 09, at 2:00 PM in the 7th floor boardroom in Raymond Hall. Members of our Chapter Executive Committee will be attending. We look forward to your input and attendance for this meeting.
We propose the following items for discussion:
1. Announcements and Updates
The Potsdam UUP Chapter would like to share general announcements with Management as they may impact the workforce.
2. Lost key fee
There is now a fifty dollar fee for lost keys. How was that amount arrived at?
3. Adjuncts Restricted to Part Time Service Request for Data and Information
When and why was this policy adopted? How many full-time(4 or more courses)adjuncts were appointed in each of the last six semesters, type of appointment, and assignment area data are requested.
4. Academic salaries
Academic members request a timeline for the development of a plan to address faculty salaries.
5. Seamless transfer
What is the current status of efforts by the college to meet Seamless Transfer and Open SUNY timelines? Who owns an online course and/or its content which is offered through Open SUNY via Potsdam?
6. I.D.A.and Drescher program; JLMC Professional Development Grant Status
7. Update on system of promotion for lectures
8. Performance programs and evaluations
Progress update and concerns; timeliness and its consequence to evaluation, promotion and salary increase requests; conformity of performance program to A-28 requirements
9. Authority in positions and committees
A dialogue is requested on over-reaching of authority in positions and/or committees including but not exclusively, information pertaining to terms and conditions of employment being given to members by someone other than HR who is the official designee for such matters. Such over-reaching has jeopardized contractual rights for members.
10. Start up N.Y.
Has a plan been developed? Are any businesses currently submitted for review or anticipated in the near future?
11.Deficit Reduction Leave Payout
Have the payments been approved and sent? Upon separation from service the DRL should be paid without delay
12.Uncompensated Instruction
The Chapter has been alerted that faculty members are being asked/encouraged/"demanded" to cover courses previously taught by adjuncts. The adjunct hiring is reported to have been significantly reduced if not eliminated entirely across campus.
Members must be compensated for the work they are employed to provide. Instruction is the basic work for faculty and thus must not be demanded, coerced, or "requested" to be performed for free to meet the operational needs of the College.
13. Information Requested Under Article 17
Documents requested have not been received. Explanation of the delayed response and delivery of the documents is requested.
14. Status of Sabbatical funding for the 2015-2016 academic year and application deadline; please provide a list of the current sabbaticals by name and including the department, length of leave and compensation for the leave.
15. Bulletin Boards
One bulletin board in each department as described in Article 13 of the contract should be available for U.U.P. to post notices. Does the college maintain a record of
the total bulletin boards available for posting U.U.P. notices and their locations?
Notes chapter meeting September 18 2014

Those goals being:
-The areas have been split into 10 sites each site will hold a meeting to recruit volunteers and educate members.

Central location. Bed was extremely comfy, bathroom was very clean and the shower was great.
Perfect location; walked to nearly everything but Battery Park. Surprisingle clean rooms.
Modern hotel and very central
great location, friendly helpful staff and lovely comfortable room. Room rate included breakfast which was great and helpful in managing a budget.
breakfast at next-door "Butter" was a nice menu however all laid out in the open on a counter which meant the nice-looking breads and scones etc dried up quickly. This would be easy to fix with covers for the plates of croissants etc. The yogurt should be placed on ice and kept covered too. On our last day we weren't informed that breakfast was closing early so we missed out.
Staff were really friendly and happy to help. Real warm welcome . Room was lovely and clean and the location was perfect for all you need but quiet for a good nights sleep.
Would like tea and coffee making facilities in the room but it is supplied in the lobby in the morning.
Location was excellent, within easy walking distance of Times Square. Comfortable room, bit dated, suited us fine. Friendly front desk staff, very helpful.
The heating/AC unit was noisy. The bathroom extractor didn't appear to be working.
Close walking distance to all top attractions.
Breakfast expensive
The staff at the Cassa 45th are amazing. They know what costumer service is and they deliver excellence. The rooms are very comfortable, fresh and modern.
The king size room was not as big as expected. Don't expect too much of a city view.
The price we expected to pay was higher than the actual reality due to three additional taxes. These were not made very clear when booking, actually, two of these were not even mentioned until we checked our credit card bill.
Noisy lift and water pipe noise 24 hours, sound of gushing water is not good! Tried to move, no luck Don't send requests for a quiet room in advance as it wont happen! No tea and coffee in rooms
Friendly staff, excellent location, comfy beds
Great location, Free wifi, friendly staff, room was decent size, free coffee in the mornings, free later check out.
Free wifi was VERY slow
We just had a return stay at Cassa 45 Street and again very pleased with everything the Cassa has to offer. The reception staff are always friendly and helpful. We got a free upgrade to an executive package which included breakfast. The breakfast was very nice served in the restaurant Butter, downstairs. The rooms at Cassa are lovely. The best showers and beds are really comfy. The location is great. We walked all over New York. So close to Times Square and Broadway Shows. We highly recommend the Cassa 45 Street. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The staffs are very friendly.
The room is too small and TOO DARK.
I grew up in NY yet was never there as a tourist. I loved being in the city and at such a perfect location. Someone from the hotel greeted me as soon as my taxi pulled up. Everyone was always smiling and very helpful The hotel room was very nice, beds were very comfortable and the shower was great I would definately come back in the future.
That I couldnt stay longer !!
Good location Clean room and lovely bathroom Perfect for a week in NYC
The rooms weren't ready when we arrived and we gave them an hour to sort it out and it still wasn't done. They only offered to give us another room after we insisted that we wanted a room then and there (even though it was an hour after check in time)
We had a great stay in this hotel. We slept well, the beds were comfortable and the room was a reasonable size (for NY!). The hotel is in a great location and the staff were very friendly and helpful (gave my wife a round of applause when she entered wearing her medal after the marathon!). Everything was clean and the rooms were decorated tastefully (if a little on the dark side). We would stay here again.
The Wifi didn't work well on the first two days and broke completely on the last. The hotel could do with some kind of seating area/lounge for guests to hang out/meet up in. tea/coffee making facilities in the room would be good, as would bigger wardrobes.
Butter Rest.
room a little on the small side
Pleasant, helpful staff Good value for money Walking distance to tourist sites and transpotation hubs
Room is small but comfortable
The hotel despite under going a refurbishment, was fantastic with no disruption to us. The location was perfect to allow us to explore NYC. The staff were lovely and exceptionally nice.
Hose the concierge was great! So helpful and really had a impact on our stay - some of thr best highlights came from his recommendations. The beds are very comfotable in the junior suite. Location is the best - pitty about other aspects.
Considering I paid $2 600 for 5 nights, I know from other hotels within this price range one could expect a lot more. Even small things like charging $6 for a bottle of water in the room when you arrive - most hotels give you a complimentary bottle. It felt like staying in an apartment rather than a hotel. When next in NYC - I would go for something different. Junior suite was not what the pictures depicted when booked (they used the cassa suite pics) and was a lot smaller.
the location. Patrick the concierge who was patient, effective and helpful. He merits 5 stars.
I reserved a room (6 nights) 10 months before arrival . I asked for upper floor(the hotel has 45 floors) and quiet room. Upon arrival they put us in low floor(5th) and very noisy one.(we heard the street noise and could not sleep) we found a big insect on towels. (they changed our room only after 2 nights) The business center does not function and we searched computer in the near by hotels. The hotel does not have lobby. It certainly does not merit 4 stars.

It is a beautiful rug, just the wrong color for our house.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? the color looks gray and the description actually says gray, but when it arrived, it was more of a taupe.
- Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

well...it's scorpio season again. yay!! so once again I'm offering up a poem to the dead that reaches for the rest of us living folk....
I've got my grandmothers fingers
thin and long
weirdly strong and almost always cold
my time with her was her cancer years
just into her forties
she dyed her hair pitch black
painted her lips a blood crimson
never smiled because her teeth were bad
I remember a stern face
a buried distress
her bones rising to the surface
I remember thin
then nothing
she was diagnosed when I was two
I was seven when she died
and here I am with her fingers
her cancer hands
were the hands I knew
with her fingers I make
as many beautiful things as I can
she haunts me with her stubborn self destruction
she haunts me with her grief hard beauty
my hands feel my breast free ribcage and sternum
where all the complexities
of self love and survival converge
her hands played the banjo
her hands cradled endless cigarettes
her hands
didn't touch me
I'm learning to touch people with intent
as I would touch animals and plants
with ease and open need
Its hard to remember that it's important
human touch
as important as making beautiful things
as important as inhabiting
as important as illness
that thrusts impermanence at us
with all the pain of change
with all the beautiful things that bloom and wilt
and bloom again
it is the poison
it is unwanted touch
it is the hard cold and weirdly strong world
that moves to break us
and so we smoke strum paint and die
we inherit bones and grief
we make do
make hard choices
lean into pained beauty
pass everything on
we make things grow
and neglect them

There is a Glenwood in central NL but I don't think it existed in 1913. I believe a part of Mount Pearl was called Glenwood so I assume he lived there. As he was only here a year, he may not show up in any records. I doubt if people were cremated back then. There is a list of NL headstones on stonepics.com but I don't see one for him. I'll see what I can find.

Karen Klein, Bullied School Bus Monitor, Receives $140,000 in Donations, Feels Sorry For Kidsby Free Britney at . Comments
Students on Greece, N.Y., school bus No. 784 tormented Karen Klein to the point of tears this week, calling her awful names and spewing hateful comments.
Amazingly, the 10-minute verbal attack was caught on video and has since gone viral, with support pouring in for the 69-year-old bullied school bus monitor.
Support to the tune of $140,000. That's not a typo.
It took "a lot of will power" to not fight back, the Greece Central School District employee told NBC's Today this morning. "I'm not usually that calm."
The unidentified middle school students under investigation; any disciplinary action will have to wait until September when school is in session.
Their torment of a widow and grandmother of eight whose son committed suicide is upsetting to say the least, but there is a silver lining to be found.
An online fundraising effort to send Klein on "a vacation of a lifetime" has long surpassed its $5,000 goal, with more than $140,000 (and counting) raised."I'm so amazed," she said. "I've gotten the nicest letters, emails, Facebook messages. It's like, wow – there's a whole world out there I didn't know."
Klein, who is semi-retired and worked as a bus driver for 20 years and as a bus monitor for the past three, said she doesn't want the kids to be punished.
Instead, she hopes the parents simply watch the video you see above.
"I'm sorry that your sons acted the way they did," she responded when asked what she would say to their parents. "I'm sure they don't act that way at home, but you never know what they're going to do when they're out of the house."
Most of the 1.5 million people who watched this online wouldn't be so even-handed.
You can find the bullying kids' names quite easily if you look around - we have not posted them here - and local police say they fear serious retaliation.
UPDATE, 6/22: Donations have eclipsed $440,000! Amazing.
Wouldn't have been allowed in the city where "the west was won". No nonsense choices should have been utilized. Prairie justice is simple. The bus driver pulls over. Gets on radio or cell---calls 911. Cops come and handles the little juvenile delinquents! (If anything..just to intimidate the little boogers and make 'em shake in their sneakers for a bit!)
And if these little beasts treat an elderly person like that, how do you think they treat classmates they consider beneath them? That's why bullying NEEDS to be addressed with strong lessons and sharp consequences.
Who video'd this? Why didn't THEY stop it?
We need "LIKE" buttons here. ;o) Personally, I pray she deals with all that money wisely, like perhaps finding a way to support either
(1)-Parenting classes where parents can learn how to raise kids that don't behave like those did, or
(2)-Anti-Bullying class where people can learn how to deal effectively with bullies or
(3)-To have cameras put in as many school buses nationwide as possible so that more behavior like this can hit both the web and attorney's offices for lawsuits to be filed against the parents of kids who act like this on the school bus. Would LOVE to hear comments from the parents of these beasts.
I am so glad I wasnt on this bus because I would have ended up in jail for beating everyone of their asses like their parents should have done a long time ago. If these were my kids I would be ashamed to know that I raised such low life pieces of crap because that's all they are. Shame on them and their parents this is horrible.
One question, "Why in the hell didn't the bus driver step in?" Thank the lord that wasn't my grandmother those punks would have gotten a mudhole stomped in their asses by everyone in my family. It's sad that these little pathetic bastards think it's okay to torment the elderly. Karma is a BITCH!!! Then again their asses my not even live to see their golden years at the rate they are going.
Oops, protect them from me.
I like Tara was a teen mom. I had three sons by age 22. You do one of two things, become a deadbeat or grow up. I feel this applies to parents of every age. It took me to age 26, but I am an RN.
My boys are now 19, 17 and 15. I have taught them respect and manners. My children know if they acted this way, they would deserve what she dished out. The cops stationed would have to protect them
tell those kids to come sit on a vallejo school bus and theyll see what bullying is. PUNKS!!!
I think this is outrageous!!! those kids should be off the bus, riding isnt a right its a privilage, these kids are horrible for doing and saying all those things. People have been expelled for less!!! I hope something was done about those horrible children and their bull crap! dont parents teach respect for elders anymore. obviously something has to be done about them!!! Parenting classes and punishment for the children involved!!!!

Your holiday shopping can help to support REC's Classroom Libraries
In the last few years, English teachers have been working to build classroom libraries in order to encourage students to read more often for pleasure. Classroom libraries help to get more students reading independently, foster positive attitudes toward reading, and help students to develop the reading stamina they need to do required readings in high school, college, and university.
The problem is, books are expensive, and funding for classroom library book purchases is limited.
You can help us. If you're going to be doing some holiday shopping in November and December, consider purchasing a Chapters Indigo e-gift card online from our REC Classroom Libraries campaign. Cards can be purchased in the amounts of $25, $50, and $100, and while you receive the entire gift card amount, our classroom libraries receive 20% of the total of all e-gift cards purchased as credit toward the purchase of books. E-gift cards can be used online or in Chapters, Indigo, or Coles stores.
Chapters Indigo carries books, e-books, movies, music, toys, baby gifts, electronics (including headphones and video game consoles), fashion accessories, and unique serving and home décor items. There are often sales and discounts leading up to the holidays, such as at the end of November, when a daily toy deal is offered.
To purchase a Chapters Indigo e-gift card and help to support our classroom libraries, please go to REC's campaign site at https://indigo.flipgive.com/campaigns/18034-river-east-collegiate-classroom-libraries. Our goal is to raise $1000 for classroom libraries at REC.
Thanks for your support!

The Lady Mustangs of Mineola lost two heart-breakers, to Seaford and to West Hempstead teams, earlier this month.
Seaford beat Mineola 52 to 44, on Jan. 4, and West Hempstead bested the Lady Mustangs, 51 to 39, on Jan. 8.
Erin Connolly and Ryan Keenan have been selected as Outstanding Physical Education students by the Wheatley School Physical Education Department.
Connolly and Keenan were recently honored at an awards banquet held at the Crest Hollow Country Club. The Nassau Zone of the New York State Association sponsors the awards program for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance.
The SUNY Old Westbury Panthers had a fantastic 2012 season on the baseball diamond—finishing with a record of 30-12—but will be receiving a significant boost by adding Lou Bernardi to the coaching staff as the pitching coach.
"The team had a great deal of success last season, but we're looking to build on that," said Bernardi. "I'm looking to instill a good work ethic, and I feel I can help that beginning with their off-season throwing program."
The New Hyde Park native has had extensive success on the mound. He finished his collegiate career at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in 2010 as the program's leader in appearances (67), and led the team in saves in 2008 with three.
Two major programs to prepare runners for the 2013 Long Island Marathon/Half Marathon/10 Kilometer Runs are getting started within the next few weeks, and anyone thinking about doing one of these events on the big day, May 5, 2013, can sign up.
The 3rd annual RunSmart Training Program kicks off at the Old Bethpage Village Restoration on Saturday, Jan. 26. It will be the first of a series of training sessions for runners of all levels of ability that will be held on one day every weekend for 14 weeks through April 27.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano welcomed and thanked staff from the Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy this week as they presented a check for $3,500 to Andrew Malekoff, executive director of the North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center for program support.
Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy, located in Levittown, hosted the annual New York Open Taekwondo Championships/Korean Cultural Festival this year and donated proceeds from the admission to the non-profit North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center located in Roslyn Heights.
North Shore is a not-for-profit children's mental health agency on Long Island and leads the way in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, training, parent education, research and advocacy. They are dedicated to restoring and strengthening the emotional well being of children and families.
The foundation for character building and success starts at home. The schools and role models that impact your child's life assist in reinforcing the aspirations that you have for your child's development and future.
Karatatot, which is a unique program offered by Charles Water Karate & Fitness, located at 122 Hillside Avenue in Williston Park, is a combination of exercise and karate in a format specifically designed for children ages 4½ and up. In a fun filled and nurturing setting your children learn concentration, discipline, respect, as well as an understanding of self defense at his or her own level.
Students at Charles Water Karate & Fitness, located at 122 Hillside Avenue in Williston Park received belt promotions after successfully completing a series of extensive exams.
"Our goal at Charles Water's Karate & Fitness is to facilitate mental growth enabling our students to reach their highest potential as human beings," says Charles Water, owner and director of the school. "The studio teaches students how to defend themselves responsibly while instilling self-confidence, self-discipline and respect for others."
Charles Water's Karate & Fitness is a full time, professional martial arts school, with classes for children, adults and teenagers. The school is the only one on Long Island that also offers Karatatot, the only program specifically designed for children 4 1/2 to 6 years old.
At the Kellenberg High School Athletic Awards Banquet this past month, Mineola's own Michael Patalano won the Bernie Ward Commitment Award for his hard work this past season on the High School JV Football Team. Patalano is a product of the Mineola PAL Chiefs Organization where he played both football and lacrosse. His Mineola Chiefs Football Coach Tim O'Connell said, "I coached Mike five years in football for the Chiefs and his hard work and commitment as a young player was an inspiration to his teammates."
The Mineola Physical Education Department congratulated Erica Cunha and Fred Lang on receiving the 2012 Physical Education Student of the Year Award. Both Cunha and Lang were selected as award recipients based on their achievements in school as students, athletes, volunteers and leaders.
Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jon Kaiman and Councilwoman Lee Seeman joined forces with State Senator Jack Martin and Nassau County Legislator Richard Nicolello last week to break ground on a long-awaited reconstruction project to restore the New Hyde Park Police Athletic League clubhouse to its former glory.
The kickoff of the renovation project, which was also attended by PAL officials, Nassau County Police Officer Kevin Worth, and Sgt. Doug Kenah, heralded the start of a project that had been hampered by a lack of funds and had consequently languished for over seven years.

We all deserve to know our own story. Many people who were adopted wonder where they began their life. Michaela Pereira of CNN shares her story of growing up in a family of girls who joined their family through adoption. As an adult, Michaela found her birth family – and a new wonderful friend.
In Washington state, 2,167 children live in foster care, waiting for their own forever family. We all know there are no unwanted children: it really is just a case of geography – matching eager little ones with adults who long to become parents. Spokane celebrated National Adoption Day with families bound in love, now legally bound - forever!

Mike Nichols died suddenly Wednesday of cardiac arrest. He was 83. Nichols was an admired and award-winning director. His genius earned him Oscar, Emmy and Grammy awards. He won nine Tony awards.
Stars loved him: Jack Nicholson, Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Ron Silver, Anne Bancroft, Candice Bergen and Gene Hackman all worked with Mr. Nichols more than once.
His work includes: "The Graduate," "Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" "Carnal Knowledge" on the screen. He won an Oscar for "The Graduate." He directed theater successes "Barefoot in the Park," "The Odd Couple" and "Death of a Salesman" on stage.
Nichols' unparalleled success spans decades.
Mike Nichols was born Mikhail Igor Peschkowsky in Berlin, on Nov. 6, 1931. His dad, A Jewish doctor from Russia, escaped the Nazis and fled to America in 1938; Mike and his brother followed the next year. Mike's mother arrived in 1941.
Longtime friend, Elaine May once said: "So he's witty, he's brilliant, he's articulate, he's on time, he's prepared and he writes. But is he perfect? He knows you can't really be liked or loved if you're perfect. You have to have just enough flaws. And he does. Just the right, perfect flaws to be absolutely endearing."
Mike Nichols is survived by wife Diane Sawyer, daughters Daisy and Jenny and his son Max, his brother, Bob and four grandchildren.
(S-R archive photo: Director Mike Nichols at the premiere of "Closer" in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, in 2004.)
When couples long for a child and are unable to conceive, they seek various options. Liz and Kevin Krainman opted to "adopt" a snowflake baby – a frozen embryo that was implanted into Liz.
The frozen embryo is considered "property" and the rights of the property are transferred to the receiving couple. The action can be perceived as an ethical alternative to destroying or donating the embryo.
Liz says, "Love is what made her. The love of so many people went into creating her and bringing her here."

Some stories feel too painful to tell, yet they are extraordinary tales of human compassion and resurrection of the spirit.
Chris Picco buried his wife, Ashley and their son, Lennon, on Saturday. Chris met his wife while they were both assisting firefighters after the September 11, 2001 attacks. They married in 2007. His pregnant wife – with their child due in February - died in her sleep last Saturday. The baby, named Lennon, was delivered 16 weeks premature. Lennon died on Wednesday.
As the baby struggled to live, Chris Picco, played a guitar and sang the Beatles' song, "Blackbird" with the tender words: "take these broken wings and learn to fly."
The video, posted on YouTube, evoked responses of sorrow and compassion from viewers.

I have been away for nearly three weeks.
Traveling home to my native Minnesota and then to the Caribbean with friends from high school, offered perspective. St. Augustine wrote: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page."
Conversations with Mom and friends connected my present to the past. Cool, crisp Minneapolis weather reminded me of childhood ice-skating parties and high school days of marching band and boyfriend kisses. A week in the Caribbean forced me to listen to myself.
I left home at 18-years-old; seems I have been on a field trip for decades. At the Minneapolis airport yesterday I felt I was leaving home to travel home. And while travel means I have read many pages of the world's book, I can only stay on one page at a time. My heart, dissected by time and place, always leaves pieces behind.

Today we honor our veterans, men and women who left their known lives to serve our country. May we honor all those soldiers who courageously walked into the unknown to serve America. No matter the act of remembrance - free drinks at a local restaurant, a parade, a holiday - we honor all our service people whose commitment to freedom made our gestures of gratitude possible. Peace from a grateful nation.

While Ebola has hit the headlines, we must pay attention to a bigger threat to our health: the flu. Each year that illness claims thousands of lives.
People over age 65 and younger than 2 years are at higher risk than others. Anyone who lives among a lot of other people in places like school dormitories or long-term care facilities may be at higher risk. And those with chronic health issues such as heart, lung, or kidney conditions, diabetes, or a weakened immune system should consider the vaccine.
(S-R photo: Jessica Shinn, a third-year pharmacy student at WSU Spokane, puts a bandage on nursing student Addie Burkhart after giving her a flu shot. )
A previous supervisor told me her husband never votes, never has, never will. And because I wanted to remain employed, I said simply, "Oh, that is interesting." And kept my opinion quiet.
He doesn't vote because he believes his vote does not count. Try telling that to former Governor Chris Gregoire. She won in a recount by nearly 130 votes.
Today I say,"Vote!" It is a privilege and a responsibility. We take it for granted in our country, but voting gives us a chance to have our opinion counted, our views considered. Millions of people around the world, in different countries, have walked miles and miles, stood in line for days to drop their vote into a box.
Take time, consider the candidates, their views; consider the Initiatives and what you believe and then…vote accordingly. Don't keep your opinion quiet.

Justus Uwayesu started at Harvard this fall as a freshman. He has traveled a long distance – across the globe and through a sea of sadness. As an orphaned child, he lived in a garbage dump in Rwanda.
Then along came Clare Effiong, an American charity worker who offered several children a chance to leave with her. All but Justus refused.
When he told Effiong, "I want to go to school," she made certain he did.
He lived in an orphanage run by Esther's Aid, the charity Effiong founded. In Rwanda, he learned English, French, Swahili and Lingala. He earned straight A's; he attended a high school specializing in science and he oversaw the student tutoring program. Uwayesu helped found a youth charity among his nation's high schools, a charity that buys health insurance for poor students and gives medical and scholastic aid to others.
And now the young man adjusts to his American setting: Harvard. He has a full-scholarship, studying math, economics and human rights. He would like to earn an advanced science degree.
Juliette Musabeyezu, a sophomore, another student from Rwanda has posted a photo of Rwanda's Harvard students. The caption reads: "My people are finally here."

Art Miller, 91, hung onto life in the open sea for two days during World War II. He knew he had to get home to Norma, the love of his life. He did. They married, raised their children and traveled after his retirement.
When we say, "I do," we often imagine a life of passion and joy and fun. We do not easily anticipate the end times when health deteriorates.
After 68 years of marriage, Norma lives in a retirement community where her health needs can be met. Art lives with one of their daughters. But Art still visits Norma, six days each week.
Says Art: "Every afternoon when I leave, I leave a piece of my heart there. I'll always say, 'Honey, I'll see you tomorrow.' The next morning when I come in she always says, 'There you are!' "
Sometimes the remarkable people around us are those who live their vows, in good times and in bad, with quiet compassion and grace. Saints in our midst; people to celebrate.
When Kelvin Peters was diagnosed with terminal cancer, his young daughters knew they would miss many special moments with him. They knew he would never dance at their weddings.
Kaitlin Peters, 21, could not miss that special moment with her dad. She knew her two younger sisters needed that moment, too.
Last month the girls created a wedding event to share with their dying dad. Businesses contributed the necessary dresses, cakes, and photographer. Just three grooms missing. The special event – complete with dad dancing a wedding dance with each daughter – was recorded.
Kelvin Peters will be present when his daughters marry. Present in spirit. He has recorded a message for each future husband and purchased a special gift for each daughter to open when she marries.
The courage and compassion of the girls and their dad may inspire other families to create time capsule moments for each other.

The three children of comedian Robin Williams were on the pitcher's mound at the World Series. Zak Williams, Robin's son, threw out the first pitch of the game. Robin's dear friend Billy Crystal acted as catcher.
As we continue to seek answers to mental illness, the beloved comedian – who died from suicide in August – reminds us of the need to be vigilant and stay close to each other. Mental illness cannot always be detected by those who suffer with it or those who love and stay close.
If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Sometimes in the middle of horrific tragedy, like Friday's shooting at Marysville, kindness offers hope.
The Oak Harbor football team was slated to play Marysville Pilchuck Friday night in a championship game. But all school activities were cancelled.
In the evening, as the Marysville football players met to share their grief and shock, they saw a group of Oak Harbor players walk in, dressed in their purple jerseys. They came to offer presence and reassurance and kindness. They offered to forfeit the game–giving Marysville Pilchuck the league title and the No. 1 seed for next week's Wesco 3A crossover games.
The Oak Harbor gesture is an object lesson in a grief observed: show up, offer to make the path ahead a bit easier. Stay close.

With the insane heat of the summer only a memory and autumn leaves cascading down, October bliss brings lovely days and the World Series.
October brings relief and the grace of baseball – no chains to measure distance, just the crack of baseball bats, balls bouncing into the hands of eager fans and the best mini-series of the year.
We live in a world of increasing chaos and daily violence. But a few hours of America's favorite past time, seems a lovely escape. Tradition has its place.

Oscar de la Renta, fashion designer and celebrity among stars, died at his Kent, Conn. home. He was 82.
The designer had battled cancer for nearly eight years, but continued to dress famous women: Sarah Jessica Parker, Amy Adams, are two of the glamourous women who wore his creations. George Clooney's bride, Amal Alamuddin, wore a de la Renta gown at their recent Venice nuptials.
Oscar de la Renta, born in the Dominican Republic, went to Madrid to study art where he spent time drawing clothes for newspapers and fashion designers. When the wife of John Davis Lodge, the United States ambassador to Spain, saw some of his sketches, she asked de la Renta to design a coming-out dress for her daughter. The daughter and the dress made the cover of Life magazine. Soon de la Renta was working in Paris at Christian Dior.
In the last eight years, his business grew 50 percent to $150 million in sales. He dressed socialites and first ladies.
Oscar de la Renta is survived by his wife, Annette.

Lots of talk last week about what to call the October 12 holiday. How did you observe, or not observe, October 12?
We like to romanticize our heroes, their personal characteristics and their accomplishments. However, when we seek historical accuracy, we often make our own discovery: they possessed failings and faults.
So disappointing.
Perhaps it would be more disappointing to our heroes if they knew we often observe their days of honor with trips to the mall seeking "holiday sales" and whining when the mail is not delivered.
Hopefully, our leaders will leave Veterans Day just as it is. That group of brave people deserves their holiday: a day of admiration, gratitude and, yes, parades.

Volunteers continue their poignant and compassionate care of Ebola patients in West Africa.
Dr. Stephen Hatch, an American volunteer with International Medical Corps, cares for Ebola-infected patients in a Liberian hospital. He is part of a four-week rotation. Hatch and nearly two dozen others trained last month in Anniston, Ala. at a former Army base, learning how to safely care for Ebola patients.
While suited up in protective gear, Hatch and other physicians touch Ebola-infected patients and soothe their pain. Without drugs to cure, the caregivers offer fluids, medications to treat symptoms; they offer compassion as they feed patients and clean them. They offer frightened patients the solace of human touch.
Last week Hatch cared for a gravely ill pastor who arrived at the Liberian hospital. The pastor insisted on praying for Dr. Hatch. The man prayed for him again the night before he died.
While we witness West Africa's crisis from afar, compassionate care continues: Caregivers comfort and grieve as they witness suffering and remarkable courage.
(S-R photo: n this photo taken Thursday Oct. 2, 2014, Promise Cooper, 16, is helped filling a bottle with chlorine solution by Kanyean Molton Farley, a community activist who visits Promise and her two brothers, Emmanuel Junior, 11, right, and Benson, 15, not pictured, on a daily basis at their St. Paul Bridge home in Monrovia, Liberia. The Cooper children are now orphans, having lost their mother, Princess, in July, and their father Emmanuel in August. Their 5-month-old baby brother Success also succumbed to the virus in August. Ruth, their 13-year-old sister is being hospitalized with Ebola. The three never fell sick to the deadly disease.)
…is an Ethiopian proverb. Perhaps when one conceals their disease from themselves, they can never begin to get well – find medication, support or change behaviors needed for healing.
Perhaps when one conceals their disease from the community, they are not part of a group who changes perceptions, advocates for cures. Together, we encourage each other, find hope.
In an interview on The Queen Latifah Show, the beautiful actress Rene Russo revealed her lifetime battle with bi-polar disorder. Another lovely face – like actress Catherine Zeta-Jones - now associated with a mental health illness.
Rene Russo's story may encourage others to get medical help, change how people perceive others who live with mental health disorders. And perhaps enough stories will lead to the longed-for cure.

The bishops have continued their conversation on family issues; they are midway in their two-week meeting. While the doors are closed, seems some minds have opened. A document summarizing their discussions has been released.
"The bishops said gays had 'gifts and qualities' to offer and asked rhetorically if the church was ready to provide them a welcoming place, "accepting and valuing their sexual orientation without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony."
Saturday was National Coming Out Day and our wonderful parish acknowledged the day, encouraging parishioners to wear a parish t-shirt with the parish logo, LGBT on the front and Pope Francis' quote - "Who am I to judge?" - on the back. A man, his wife –both wearing the shirts -brought the gifts of bread and wine up to the altar.
We are not waiting for a document from Rome to direct our parish life. We are a loving, joyful community with many gifted people worshipping here. All are welcome – we sing it, we pray it, we live it.

Singer John Denver died on this day in 1997. He was a folk singer, song writer, humanitarian and activist –advocating for the land and against war.
For many boomers, he was their voice, singing a little bit country, a little bit folk music about issues of the sixties and seventies as he strummed his acoustic guitar. He sold millions of records.
Denver married a woman from Minnesota, Annie Martell. The couple lived in my hometown for a few years and John performed at our high school in 1970. Students walked out in protest of proposed cuts in student activities and the teachers who supervised the activities. A student knew John Denver and asked Denver to play in support of our cause. He was not famous at the time; students loved his music and listened for hours.
Denver won an Emmy Award in 1974 for his live concert special "An Evening with John Denver." He also made it to the big screen in 1977 when he played an everyday, working man in "Oh, God." (George Burns played God.) Denver's common-man persona endeared him to many.
John Denver died in a plane crash in 1997; the cause of the crash cited as his inability "to execute safely a switch of fuel tanks in flight." Many of us remember where we were when we heard of his untimely death, a voice silenced. He was 53 years old.
Seventeen years later his music legacy continues with timeless messages and memories, sweet.

Show synopsis Excerpt: ... the land which was common to the village. They could, the count said, be sold, but in point of fact never were sold except with the land. "It's a bad system, and I wish that they were as free is your laborers are in England." "Of course our people cannot be sold," Jack said, "but after all there's not so much difference in that respect, for if an estate changes hands, they work for the new owner just as yours do." "Yes, but your laborers cannot be killed or even flogged by their masters with impunity." "No, I should think not," Jack exclaimed. "We should have a revolution in no time, if masters were to try that sort of thing." "I fear that we shall have one too, some day," the count said, "unless the serfs are emancipated. The people are terribly ignorant, but even among them some sort of enlightenment is going on, and as they know better they will refuse to live and to work as mere beasts of burden." "Will they be better off, sir, than before?" Dick Hawtry asked. "I have heard my father say that the negroes in the West Indian islands are worse off than they were in the days when they were slaves. They will not work except just enough to procure themselves means of living, and they spend the rest of their lives lying about and smoking." "It would no doubt be the same thing here," the count said, "for a time. The Russian peasant is naturally extremely ignorant and extremely fond of 'vodka.' Probably at first he would be far worse off than at present. He would be content to earn enough to live and to get drunk upon, and wide tracts of land would remain untilled. But it is of the future we must think; and who can doubt that in the future, Russia, with a free people and free institutions, with her immense resources and enormous population, must become the grandest empire on earth?"
