Fwd: The end of bees, thanks to Bayer's chemical?

EPA: Ban the pesticide that's threatening American bees with extinction
Sign Susan's Petition

Here's the buzz: American honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate and the government knows why. 

Scientists say a pesticide called clothianidin, made by chemical giant Bayer, is strongly linked to the rapid decline in bee populations. When exposed to the chemical, bees get lost: they are literally unable to find their way home back to the hive and drop dead from exhaustion.

Susan Mariner uses her backyard garden to grow extra fruits and veggies for her family and teach her children where their food comes from -- and in the past few years, she's seen the decline in bees firsthand. 

When Susan heard about the recent studies linking this specific chemical to the widespread death of the bees who pollinate our food, she started a petition on Change.org to get the chemical banned. Click here to sign Susan's petition asking the Environmental Protection Agency to ban these bee-killing pesticides ASAP.

One-third of the U.S. food supply relies on honey bees. Without bees to pollinate crops, many essential (and favorite) foods are at risk, including apples, squash, tomatoes, strawberries, almonds, and even chocolate. 

Several countries, including Germany and France, have already banned clothianidin. And after the bans, bee populations began to rise again. 

But in the U.S., clothianidin is used on millions of acres of crops and American beekeepers report losses of up to 90% of their bees. Many worry that their hives won't survive another season. Sign Susan's petition urging the EPA to save the bees and immediately end the harmful pesticide's use.

Thanks for being a change-maker,

- Corinne and the Change.org team

School news and request letter from parents of Phillips and South Side

Also, for Phillips parents and incoming parents for next year, there's a letter circulating for parents to sign (I believe that there are close to 100 signatures already) to Deputy Superintendent Rudiak asking that with the budget cuts that the district make three commitments to Phillips. One is to fund a Spanish teacher position out of district funds rather than the individual school budget just as the Post-Gazette reported this week that the District already agreed to do at Colfax, which is a Spanish magnet just like Phillips.  A second is that the district will agree to stick to its practice of funding an additional paraprofessional position for grades where enrollment hits the maximum numbers out of additional district funds rather than out of the existing Phillips budget.  The third is that with the elimination of two teaching positions and the hiring of a FTE to cover some classrooms, that Phillips be able to hire one of the displaced teachers who already knows the school and students. 

Below is a copy of the letter in case you and/or your spouse/significant other wish to sign on and send, or there are parents collecting signature before and after school.  I'll have a copy of the letter with me at POPS. Parents of students entering school next year are welcome to sign, too.  It's authored by Michele Margittai and Carey Harris (related by marriage to POPS Peter Margittai and John Werling).

Pittsburgh, PA 15213

                    

Dear Dr. Rudiak –

We are writing, on behalf of 315 Pittsburgh Phillips K-5 students, regarding the changes to occur in the 2012/13 school year at Pittsburgh Phillips K-5. 

As you know, the parents/guardians of Phillips students have actively collaborated for many years with the school’s administration to create and sustain an excellent school environment.  This family engagement has resulted in many successes at the school including:

•     an engaged PSCC that meets with school administration about various school issues.

•     an active PTO that provides financial and other support for student enrichment activities.

•     excellent attendance by families at school’s events in support of the students’ work (e.g., Fiesta de la Paz, Are You Smarter than a 3rd/4th Grader?)

Not only have these efforts helped Phillips K-5 to be recognized locally as an excellent public school, but its family engagement efforts have also been recognized nationally, by PTO Today.

As a result of the recent budget cuts, Phillips is entering a critical time of challenges and transitions.  Families again are asking, “What can we do?”  Through the PSCC, families have already met several times with our school’s principal. Based on these discussions, we are writing to request clarity from the district, regarding several issues of concern:

·         Principal Transition: We are looking forward to working with the new principal who will be appointed to lead Phillips – particular in addressing changes that will occur regarding the budget cuts. When will the new principal be available to start working with us and what will his/her availability be for meetings in May through August?

·         Class Size:  We are concerned about the kindergarten class sizes, and want to provide those classrooms with the maximum amount of support.  Our current understanding is that a paraprofessional will be provided to support a kindergarten classroom if that class size reaches or exceeds the maximum allowed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.  These additional staff members would be provided at the district’s expense, and not out of Phillips’ site-based budget.  We would like to confirm with the district that this understanding is correct.

·         FTE /ITL2:  Phillips will lose at least two classroom teachers for the 2012/13 school year.  We understand that district and building seniority will determine which teachers must leave.  We request that the FTE, who will be assigned to Phillips to supplement the schedule of the ITL2, be offered to one of the teachers whose current position will be eliminated or who will be bumped due to district transitions. .  Our current teachers are part of the culture and understand the expectations of Phillips.  As such, they are in the best position to work effectively with our students, staff, and families. An assigned FTE who is new to Phillips, would only exacerbate an already challenging year.

·         Spanish Teacher: We noted in the Monday, March 26th Pittsburgh Post Gazette article that the District is providing a Spanish teacher to Colfax to continue that school’s Spanish program.  Will the district provide the same resource to Phillips, if needed, to ensure that all of our students receive Spanish instruction at least periods per week?

Dr. Rudiak, thank you, in advance, for your time spent providing us with answers to these important questions.  Our PSCC meets again on April 17th.  It would be extremely helpful to receive a response prior to that meeting.

We look forward to working with you and your colleagues.

Sincerely,

Pittsburgh Phillips PSCC                                Pittsburgh Phillips K-5 PTO

We want to get our Pittsburgh kids swimming and playing water polo soon -- before we do Summer Dreamers again

Hi Friends in Pittsburgh,

Last year our staff of 12 and about 150 middle school students had a wonderful time swimming and playing water polo. I loved coaching and teaching swimming to PPS students with Summer Dreamers at Peabody High Schools' pool. We had five great weeks. Now the challenge is to get that going again, this spring and summer, for campers and even some beyond the specific Summer Dreamers program.  

You are invited to attend any of the THREE informational meetings in the community in April, at different times and places, to talk about the changes for the 2012 Summer Dreamers Swim and Water Polo Camp -- and to give details for getting the kids into the water in April, May and June -- before the start of the official program July 9, 2012.

We are NOT at Peabody in the summer of 2012, but the venue shifts to UPREP and The Hill District. 

Swim and Water Polo Camp is held in conjunction with PPS Summer Dreamers, 2012 with

Neighborhood Learning Alliance
5429 Penn Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Phone: (412) 363 - 1910

We want you swimming and playing water polo again, real soon!

New players are welcome too.

Informational meetings for parents, guardians and others with an interest in the program are going to be held with Coach Mark Rauterkus,

Bringing the Community to Schools, a national webinar.

The "community school" model is turning school buildings into vibrant neighborhood hubs of activity. In addition to the academic program offered to students during the day, community schools provide a wide range of services to children in partnership with local organizations. The services include breakfast and dinner for low-income children; early-childhood programs; after-school recreation; academic enrichment; and adult education.

One thriving program with a long track record in this field is the 13-year-old SUN Community Schools network in Portland, Ore., which stands for "Schools Uniting Communities." The network now includes 64 schools in six districts serving high numbers of poor and minority students across Portland and Multnomah County, and it says it has improved student academic growth while providing other neighborhood needs. Join us for a discussion about the SUN Community School model and how it interacts with students and their families.

Guests:

Diana Hall, program supervisor, SUN Community Schools

Lynn Blevins, principal, Lynch View Elementary School

Ginny Scelza, SUN site manager, Lynch View SUN Community School

Obama Academy is in East Liberty. School newspaper re-reprint

Where we live: East Liberty Posted: 24 Mar 2012 04:55 AM PDT If you didn’t know that our school is in the neighborhood of East Liberty, you should, because you’ve probably walked or taken a bus down Penn Avenue numerous times. What you probably didn’t know, or never would have guessed, is that it used to be a booming business district. However, it’s not so booming anymore. Many of the stores are boarded up and the ones that are open don’t get the business a store in the mall might get. The East Liberty Business District wasn’t always like that. In fact, it thrived and flourished during the 1940s and 50s. To add to the prosperous commercial businesses, the residents of East Liberty were all very close, creating a tight community.  Sometimes, it was referred to as Pittsburgh’s “second downtown.” In 1958, East Liberty’s strength was put to the test when they experienced their first commercial vacancies.  In response, the major business owners began one of the biggest urban renewal projects. However, the project had the opposite effect that many people had hoped it would have; the small local businesses were replaced with one-story retail stores placed up and down the streets, and Penn Circle was built, which actually drew the traffic away from the business district. The failure of the renewal project was the reason so many businesses closed and families moved away. In 1979, the East Liberty Development, Inc. was founded (ELDI) to organize the revitalization of East Liberty. However, many of their attempts to get businesses up and running again failed and East Liberty remained in the same economic situation. Starting in the 1990s ELDI began to plan more development projects and became determined to bring the booming business district back to life. Looking at East Liberty now, we could say they have done a pretty good job. A Target was just opened this past summer on the corner of Penn Avenue. In the vacant lot next to Eastminister Presbyterian Church they are starting the construction of new townhouses, just like the ones on Negley Avenue. In the plaza on Center Avenue, there is a Starbucks, a Whole Foods and many other small chain stores. Down the street there are a bunch of newly opened small restaurants including Spoon and Paris 66, which are both very nice and expensive places to eat. We can’t forget about Bakery Square, which is right across the street from our school and has become a popular place to go for coffee at Coffee Tree and subs at Jimmy John’s. East Liberty has come so far since its economic downfall in the late 1950s. Its business district is quickly expanding in a variety of different directions and the residential area continues to slowly make a comeback. ELDI continues to plan for development projects and look at traffic patterns. East Liberty is slowly but surely continuing to make its return to the popular, booming business district it was in the 1940s and 50s. http://www.eastliberty.org/about-east-liberty/history

Fwd: No Clue

Subject: No Clue

Dear Liberty Activist, "You don't have a clue!" That's what my Campaign Chairman, Jesse Benton, said to an MSNBC talking head yesterday who was belittling my chances at winning the Republican nomination. The truth is, Jesse was 100% right.  I'll explain everything shortly. But first, Liberty Activist, if you haven't yet contributed to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb, please do so IMMEDIATELY! You see, the reality is that my campaign is racking up delegates in state after state, but it's absolutely critical I reach $1 million . . . With your support, my campaign will keep winning incredible victories like we saw in Missouri today! Just hours ago, St. Louis City and Jackson County – the second largest county in the state – held their caucuses to elect delegates to the Congressional District and State Conventions. The results? ***    In St. Louis City, my supporters completely SWEPT the caucus – winning ALL 36 delegates and alternates to the District and State Conventions; ***    In Jackson County, after five hours of caucusing, my supporters won the overwhelming majority of delegates, doubling the number of the next closest candidate. As a result, I'm now leading the delegate count in the largest caucus state in the entire country! Rick Santorum? SHUT OUT! While several weeks ago, Rick Santorum spent days campaigning to win Missouri's meaningless straw poll beauty pageant, my campaign was working hard to win the votes that really matter – Missouri's delegates. That's because my campaign is strategic, smart – and very frugal with our donors' hard-earned money. I'm making sure we spend our resources where it counts.  Rick Santorum can be elected beauty queen all he wants.  I'll stick to delegate hunting. And all this success is despite the establishment's attempt to shut out patriots like you from participating in their elections. Remember what happened last week in St. Charles County, Missouri, when GOP officials declared the caucus over with no winner and no delegates elected? Well, the Missouri GOP is holding a new caucus in St. Charles – and has guaranteed a free and open process. They've even agreed to allow TV cameras in to film the Caucus. Liberty Activist, this is just one example of where you and I are WINNING where it counts in state after state. But if we're going to take an army of delegates from Nevada, Iowa, Washington State, Alaska, Missouri, and elsewhere to the National Convention, the bottom line is my campaign must have the resources to continue organizing at the next level. That's why I'm hoping you'll make a generous contribution to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb! Your generous contribution will be put to immediate use in my campaign's hunt for delegates. So please, dig deep and make a contribution to my campaign's Give Me Liberty Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY! You and I are ROCKING the entire political establishment nationwide. Now we must finish the job. Please contribute TODAY! Together, you and I can Restore America NOW! For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.   After the results of today's Missouri Caucuses, I am now leading in the delegate count in the Show Me State. But the battle is still raging on, and I must have the resources to continue organizing these delegates for the next step of the process. So please make the most generous contribution you possibly can afford to my Give Me Liberty Money Bomb!

The Black Political Empowerment Project(B-PEP) and the Coalition Against Violence stand with the Black Graduate Students of Carnegie Melllon University in their Rally for Justice for Trayvon JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN RALLY PITTSBURGH Monday, March 26, 2012. 12:30pm until 1:30am. ON THE LAWN (by the fence) of CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY Please join the Black Graduate Student Organization at Carnegie Mellon University as we rally for justice and remembrance of Trayvon Martin. THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND ALL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN PITTSBURGH. MARCH 26,2012 12:30-1:30PM ON THE LAWN (by the fence) of CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY (5000 Forbes Ave.). We seek justice, not only for Trayvon's family and friends, but in honor of everyone who has been victimized by the plague of gun violence sweeping our communities. We are Trayvon. If you are unaware of the events of February 26, 2012: On February 26th, Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old high school student visiting his father and soon-to-be stepmother in Sanford, Florida was gunned down in a gated townhouse community. Trayvon had left the house he and his father were visiting to walk to the local 7-Eleven. On his way back, he caught the attention of George Zimmerman, a 28- year-old neighborhood watch captain. Zimmerman spotted Trayvon and called the police, stating that he "looked real suspicious" and "looks like he's up to no good and on drugs or something." The 911 dispatcher urged Zimmerman to stay in his vehicle while the police were dispatched to the scene. Zimmerman left his vehicle to pursue Trayvon and, soon after, 911 received calls from neighbors that the two were engaged in a scuffle. Shortly after, two gunshots rang out. When the police arrived, Trayvon was face down in the grass with a fatal bullet wound to the chest. Zimmerman was standing with blood on his face and grass stains on his back. Trayvon was unarmed, carrying a pack of Skittles and an iced tea. Zimmerman was armed, carrying a 9-millimeter handgun. Trayvon was black. Zimmerman is white. The Sanford Police Department took Zimmerman into custody and released him after he admitted he shot Trayvon, but stated he "acted in self-defense." Zimmerman has not been charged or arrested since the incident.   News reports warn that Florida's reckless "shoot first, ask questions later" law may actually protect George Zimmerman, the vigilante who gunned down an unarmed teenager with nothing in his hands except candy and a drink. But what you might not know is that the same thing could happen here in Pennsylvania. That's because, last year, Governor Corbett and our state legislature passed a law modeled on Florida's "shoot first" statute - they called it the Castle Doctrine expansion, and it allows the use of deadly force even when it is not absolutely necessary. They put our state on record as one that allows the brand of vigilantism promoted by the gun lobby. Say no to gun-toting vigilantes. Tell Governor Corbett and your state legislators to repeal Pennsylvania's "shoot first" law. The last thing Pennsylvania needs is a new excuse for gun violence. But that's just what this law encourages. It enables the reckless use of deadly force - and it makes it difficult to prosecute someone who guns down a person and then claims after the fact that he or she felt threatened. The new law threw out the long-held standard that, outside of one's home, a person has an obligation to avoid using deadly force. That reasonable standard was law on the books for decades - and the gun lobby couldn't show a single case where somebody who acted in legitimate self defense was inappropriately prosecuted.. How many more innocent people like Trayvon Martin must die before Harrisburg comes to its senses? Does it need to happen so blatantly in our own community before our legislature will act? Sign the petition now. Take a stand against state sponsored, gun-toting vigilantes. The Pennsylvania legislature acted recklessly when they passed this law. Now we need to demand that they reverse their terrible mistake before it's too late.   In the meantime... WE INVITE: All students, community leaders/activists and residents to discuss the role of ethnic/racial profiling, stereotypes, and judicial bias in perpetuating violence in the United States. ALL ARE WELCOME.   Very truly yours,   Rob Conroy CeaseFirePA, Western PA Field Coordinator (412) 965-0383

Obama students visit PPS board meeting; decry budget cuts

Posted: 21 Mar 2012 06:47 PM PDT

Mr. Reid’s ninth grade class has met with Ms. Har from YMPA (Youth Media Advocacy Project) every Thursday since the beginning of the year. Every Thursday, we discussed specific topics that we were passionate about changing (school lunches, need of upgraded technology, ect.).
Each period has changed in their topic. Period six is starting a food council so that our school’s lunches can improve their quality. First period made two billboards (one in Harrisburg and one in Oakland) that say, “Cutting our budget is cutting our future”.
On March 19, 2012, Mr. Reid gave his students the opportunity to speak at the Board of Education’s public speaking. There, we had a chance to speak for exactly three minutes about a topic that we feel passionate about. About twenty of his students went and all of them who spoke, talked about budget cuts. Our message was: DON’T LIMIT OUR EDUCATION WITH BUDGET CUTS!
I personally was one of the speakers. I was number thirty-three. I remember being so nervous my hands and legs were shaking. A lot of people showed up that evening, and I was supposed to voice my opinion to them all. That’s every teenagers dream, but in reality it turned into a kind of scary one. Once they called my name, I went up and smiled at the important people sitting at their big table, and sat in the chair. Then I turned on the microphone and started talking. I let the words come out, and took a dramatic pause to look at my audience in their eyes and I said, “This will destroy the future of our state”. I think they really felt the emotion in my speech.
Molly Newell spoke about budget cuts as well and she even commented on the poor technology that we are given. She said that we need new computers and software. Molly said, “The Pittsburgh Public School’s motto is ‘Excellence for all’, yet how can we excel with inferior technology?”
Joel Akrie, who went to speak on behalf of Sabria Mitchell, said “It was actually calmer and cooler than I thought it would be”.

Fw: Stand Tall or Stand Down?

From: "Ron Paul" <ron_paul@ronpaul2012.com>

Subject: Stand Tall or Stand Down?

Dear Liberty Activist, Yesterday, my campaign manager, John Tate, sent you a critical email about our upcoming "Give Me Liberty" Money Bomb on March 23. If you haven't responded to his email by pledging to donate this Friday, I urge you to do so right away. John reported on the successes we've had with securing the crucial delegate spots needed to win the nomination, and I can tell you that those are just some of the terrific victories we're experiencing. Here's another one: ***     In Greene County, Missouri, last Saturday, my supporters won 57% of the county's delegate spots - with 63 delegates chosen to go on to the Congressional District and State Conventions!  In contrast, Rick Santorum, who was touted by the media for winning the state's beauty contest primary in February, only got 6 delegates (5%). Matter of fact, one report on the Greene County caucus noted that party members said they had never seen so many young people show up before! And Missouri's delegates are unbound - meaning they can vote for the candidate of their choice at the Republican National Convention! Liberty Activist, these are the kind of results we're seeing in state after state. Despite what the media says, this race is WIDE OPEN. No candidate has wrapped up the delegates needed to win. I can assure you right now that no other campaign is as organized as ours when it comes to doing the hard work needed to fight for delegates. And no other candidate can rely on as many passionate supporters to sacrifice their time to become delegates. There's only one thing standing between us and continuing this incredible momentum. Resources. The plain truth is, if I can't count on the funds to come in, I'm going to have to scale back in states where we could either gain a significant amount of delegates or outright WIN the delegation to the Republican National Convention. That's why I'm depending on you to give this Friday. Please pledge now to make your most generous contribution. This Money Bomb's theme is based on Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty" speech. Patrick Henry challenged the doubters, the naysayers, and the critics with his powerful words. He stood up boldly because he relied firmly on timeless principles. Now, freedom is being challenged again - by our own government. And, frankly, no other candidate is going to do anything about it. Sure, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum will tell the voters what they want to hear. But their records prove how they will actually govern - as big spending, Big Government, status quo politicians. Will we stand tall at this crucial hour like Patrick Henry did? Or will we simply stand down? This Friday's Give Me Liberty Money Bomb is our chance to prove that we're in this race to win. That means securing delegate spots and providing them with what they need to make it all the way to Tampa. That means keeping as many staff on the ground as we can in as many states as possible. That means needing funds to fight back against any attempts to shut us out at the local, state, and national conventions. And that means I'm relying on you more than ever. Please, pledge right away and then honor that pledge by donating on March 23. "Restore America Now" is more than a campaign slogan. It's what we can DO - if we give it our all when it matters most. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.  Patrick Henry stood up to the naysayers and proudly argued for liberty. Today, our campaign is the only one promising to bring real change and get this nation back on track. We're experiencing success after success all across the country in securing the delegates critical to winning the nomination. But if my campaign is to capitalize on this momentum, I must have the funds to strengthen our efforts. Please, pledge today to donate to our Give Me Liberty Money Bomb on March 23. I'm relying on you now more than ever.

Public Service Announcement

PennDOT Announces 2012 Allegheny County Highway and Bridge Improvement Projects

PennDOT District 11 is pleased to announce major improvements will occur in 2012 on state-owned roads and bridges in Allegheny County.

District 11 will invest an estimated $220.1 million on 102 projects to improve, preserve or rehabilitate key infrastructure including 54 bridges in Allegheny County in 2012. In addition, 69 miles of roadway will be paved or resurfaced and 12 landslides will be remediated at a cost of $13.7 million.

"This will be an important year for Allegheny County as we will see significant projects underway that are vital to maintaining our infrastructure," District Executive Dan Cessna said. "Many of those projects are going to impact traffic, particularly in the downtown Pittsburgh area. We urge motorists to use caution, be informed, be patient and stay alert in highway work zones for the safety of highway workers and themselves."

Here's a preview of the major improvements scheduled for 2012 in Allegheny County:

Parkway East (Interstate 376) Squirrel Hill Tunnel Rehabilitation:

 *   Work on a major $49.4 million project to rehabilitate the Squirrel Hill Tunnel will begin March 19. Westbound (inbound) work will occur in 2012 followed by eastbound work next year. The project includes update electrical systems, lighting system, control system, ventilation system, structural repairs to the walls and arched ceiling, installation of a water line and other improvements. To minimize impacts on the traveling public, rehabilitation work on the bridge that carries the Parkway East over Commercial Street will be performed as part of the tunnel project. Expansion dam on ramps at the Edgewood Swissvale interchange (Exit 77) will also be replaced. The work will require overnight and weekend single lane traffic in the tunnel. In addition, 16 weekend closures (8 westbound in 2012, 8 eastbound in 2013) will occur as part of the project. No full closures will occur on weeknights. Only one direction will be restricted at a time. Overall work will conclude in summer 2014.

Fort Pitt and Duquesne Bridge Ramps

To:


On Tuesday County Park Officials, Dave Biber (President of Ptag), Jamie Pfaeffle and I met in North Park regarding the April 1st North Park Mountain Bike race. We made a plan with the park administration to try to get the trail in shape for the ABRA race. We rode the trail and identified about a dozen muddy spots that need to be repaired. This combined with the sunny days should make the trail good to go barring any monsoons in the days before the race. 
ABRA has pledged to come out and do trail work next Saturday, March 24th @ 10AM. Please try to come out and help repair winter's damage to Pfundstein! If you are racing the North Park Mountain Bike Challenge ABRA MTB Series #1 we will give you a 50% discount code to use on the online entry fee. 
If the trails are too muddy come March 28th, the race will be moved to June or July but Dave and I feel that if the weather cooperates and the trailwork gets done then the race will be a go and the trail will be improved! 
Let's show Ptag our support for all their hard work by having a great turn out for this train work day!
The Deet!
ABRA's North Park Trail Work Day
Time: 10am - 3pm
Where: Olympic Shelter, across from North Park Ice Rink.
50% off race entry for your participation
What to Bring: If you own a metal rack, gloves, water and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty!
Please pass this email along to anyone that maybe interested!
