While this film is valuable on its own, the guide is instrumental in effectively covering all areas surrounding opioid use and abuse, particularly the mandates given by Governor Kasich in 2016 for all schools serving students in grades 6-12. This film began initially as a conversation between Amy Clark, Board President of SGEF and John Tharp, Lucas County Sheriff, in 2015 as an idea about how to combat what was quickly becoming one of the deadliest issues the state of Ohio has seen; overdose deaths largely due to addiction to opioids. Today, at the time of this print, the state of Ohio leads the nation in accidental overdose deaths with no end in sight.

  • If You Really Knew Me Activities
    AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO USING THE “IF YOU REALLY KNEW ME” ACTIVITY CREATED BY CHALLENGE DAY a guide for parents, teachers, young people and other people desiring more connected relationships Separation, isolation and loneliness are enormous challenges for any human being. For young people, however, these feelings can be devastating to physical and mental health, leading many down the paths of self-harm, addiction, bullying or violence. Under these conditions, academic learning becomes virtually impossible. What causes separation, this profound feeling of loneliness and isolation that so many of our adolescents struggle with daily? The answer is simple....FEAR. It is one thing to know a person’s title, accomplishments, successes or “image.” It is entirely different to connect to their humanity, to learn the intimate details about them that you would know if you really knew them. Many people are so afraid of getting vulnerable or, as we say at Challenge Day, “getting real,” that they end up settling for superficial relationships and conversations rather than risking the possibility of sharing more personally, and then perhaps being rejected. People often compare their “insides” to other people’s “outsides,” and relate image-to-image rather than heart-to-heart. As a result, many of us spend our lives feeling separate and alone. -from “Be The Hero You’ve Been Waiting For,” p.49 by Yvonne and Rich Dutra-St.John What if the solution to the challenges of separation, isolation and loneliness was as simple as taking a couple of minutes each day to connect with those people around us? Students are surrounded by others constantly, usually spending more time with their peers and teachers than with their own families.

  • Presidents Message
    New York State Retired Teachers’ Assn. DBA Presidents Message This article is being written at the end of June. My wife and I are safe and comfortably living in the North Country of New York State, which opened up to Phase IV yesterday. We now fully realize what a real estate agent means when he/she says “location, location, location”. Yesterday, New York State had less than 1,000 hospitalized COVID patients for the first time since mid-March, 2020. The people of New York State have risen out of a very dire occasion to “flatten and descend the curve” of COVID-19 infections. This effort took courage, common respect from our fellow man, and LEADERSHIP. Kevin Mulligan, Three years ago, at the NYSRTA Convention, I gave a well attended workshop titled - President “Public Education Enemy #1- Governor Andrew Cuomo”. Today, June 2020, I hold an all new respect for Governor Andrew Cuomo. For 100 consecutive days, beginning in mid-March, Governor Cuomo held a news conference that provided much needed factual information, details of how the State was addressing the pandemic, and reassurance that we are “NY Strong”. He shared with us his personal family stories, even named a law protecting the elderly, Matilda’s Law, after his 87 year old mother. We got to know the names of his daughters, and his trials as a single parent in raising them. Andrew Cuomo, in my eyes, depicted himself not as the politician we have all come to know, for better or for worse, but as a human being faced with the daunting task of a pandemic that involved life and death.

Today’s podcasts are a major forum for the exchange of ideas, and many are calling this time the “renaissance of podcasting.” Born out of the marriage of public radio and the internet, podcasting has adapted to follow modern consumption patterns and the high demand for readily accessible entertainment. Podcasts are making New York City their home. The density of advertising firms, technology companies, major brands, digital media organizations, and talent has established New York City as the epicenter of the burgeoning podcast industry. New York City is home to the fastest growing podcast startups, which have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled their size in the past several years – in employment, office space, and listenership. New York City’s podcast networks are growing rapidly, reflecting the huge national audience of 42 million weekly listeners. Employment at the top New York City podcast networks has increased over the past several years, from about 450 people in 2015 to about 600 people in early 2017.
