Middle School Weekend Food Program. Thank you in advance for participating and good luck. Scientists report on various materials they've studied, Janet and Nancy which are most effective for blocking out-going AND in-coming germs. Here is a summary: • Two sided cloth material masks need a filter placed for increased effectiveness • Hold the material up to a bright light. If you see the fibers and light easily passes through, it's not effec- tive. Dense weave is best, and quilting material very effective (70-80% effective). 600 count pillowcases and flannel are good weaves. • Filter materials for your personal use (DH and RH will insert their own filters): HEPA furnace filters are 75% effective vs. N95's are 95 %. Basket type coffee filters, using 3, are 40%. Vacuum cleaner bags are very effective (check no fiberglass). You also can wear 2 masks at a time! Do not use just a scarf or bandanna, too loose for protection. • No sew masks: look online for many possibilities, including the CDC. NIAID is now saying everyone should wear a mask when you go out. So think about your family and friends when you consider making masks or are gath- ering the above materials. Stay safe and be well, Barbara Lobeck [email protected] Pictures are of the same crate, before & after decorating And the People Stayed Home by Kitty O’Meara And the people stayed home.

  • Laurie LAURIE by Stephen King 1 Six Months After His Wife of Forty Years
    Laurie LAURIE By Stephen King 1 Six months after his wife of forty years died, Lloyd Sunderland’s sister drove from Boca Raton to Caymen Key to visit him. She brought with her a dark gray puppy which she said was a Border Collie-Mudi mix. Lloyd had no idea what a Mudi was, and didn’t care. “I don’t want a dog, Beth. A dog is the last thing in the world I want. I can barely take care of myself.” “That’s obvious,” she said, unhooking the puppy’s toy-sized leash. “How much weight have you lost?” “I don’t know.” She appraised him. “I’d say fifteen pounds. Which you could afford to give, but not much more. I’m going to make you a sausage scramble. With toast. You’ve got eggs?” “I don’t want a sausage scramble,” Lloyd said, eyeing the dog. It was sitting on the white shag carpet, and he wondered how long it would be before it left a calling card there. The carpet needed a good vacuum and probably a shampoo, but at least it had never been peed on. The dog was looking at him with its amber eyes. Almost seeming to study him. “Do you or do you not have eggs?” “Yes, but—” 2 “And sausage? No, of course not. You’ve probably been living on frozen waffles and Campbell’s soup. I’ll get some at Publix. But first I’ll inventory your fridge and see what else you need.” She was his older sister by five years, had mostly raised him after their mother died, and as a child he had never been able to stand against her.

A hurricane roared and raged through the night. And in the middle of the chaos, a cargo ship was sinking down down down to the ocean floor. The ship left hundreds of crates floating on the surface. But as the hurricane thrashed and swirled and knocked them around, the crates also began sinking into the depths. One after another, they were swallowed up by the waves, until only five crates remained. By morning the hurricane was gone. There were no clouds, no ships, no land in sight. There was only calm water and clear skies and those five crates lazily bobbing along an ocean current. Days passed. And then a smudge of green appeared on the horizon. As the crates drifted closer, the soft green shapes slowly sharpened into the hard edges of a wild, rocky island. The first crate rode to shore on a tumbling, rumbling wave and then crashed against the rocks with such force that the whole thing burst apart.

  • 2020 Campaign Case for Support
    2020 Resiliency Campaign for York's Arts & Culture Throughout our long history, York has been an arts town. We're a community of makers, innovators, builders, and doers. York's resilience and success has always come from our ability to 'do what you can with what you have' and making things seemingly out of nothing. York is being tested by COVID-19. As we face the uncertainties of health and economic conditions in the coming months, we now have three months of data on the effects of the pandemic on our arts sector, and the indicators are alarming. 95% of our artists and arts organizations are currently projecting loss of income into mid-2021, and will be unable to serve thousands of people who depend on them due to enhanced safety protocols. Earned and contributed revenues for 2020 will be reduced by 50-85% due to social distancing and the economic recession. York County could lose $4.7 million of economic impact that our cultural community brings into our local shops, businesses, and neighborhoods. Our artists and creative organizations are resilient. They are demonstrating all of the qualities that we need right now: care for safety and health of our people, innovative programming, and hope for the future. The arts are helping us through it all, and are ready to lead the way in these uncertain times. But they need our financial support and advocacy. Our 2020 Annual Campaign will act as the COVID-19 Resiliency Campaign for the arts, raising much-needed operational dollars to help our cultural community weather the next 12-15 months of financial hardship.

  • ARTICLE “Who Shall Return Us the Children?” Picturing Home(Lessness) and Postcolonial Childhoods in Immigrant Children's L
    ARTICLE “Who Shall Return us the Children?” Picturing Home(lessness) and Postcolonial Childhoods in Immigrant Children’s Literature Leyla SAVSAR*1 Abstract How does literature for children portray homes lost and perhaps found? Does children’s literature liberate or subjugate with these representations? What kinds of perspectives do the written and visual representations in children’s narratives offer? How is the experience of subjugated childhoods represented in these narratives? How is the sense of self and sense of place, namely home, represented in both word and image? The literary representation of children is contingent upon pre- established notions of political formations and identity, namely the dynamics of the subjugated and subjugator. Employing theories from canonical critics in the field of postcolonial study, this paper looks at several children’s narratives to explore the value of children’s stories in representing home(lessness) from the perspective of child immigrants and refugees. It argues for the need to question whether these representations in children’s narratives subjugate or liberate, considering how children’s books can be seen as political acts. It argues that literature for children can be used as a tool of criticism to critique certain ideologies (and the existing social order and postcolonial ties). Considering the relationship between the individual and the state, it concludes by considering children’s narratives as a way of configuring and even overturning the notion of home(lessness) and the significant question of whether a return to the homeland is ever possible. Keywords Migration, children literature, transnationalism, postcolonialism, homeland. * Assistant Professor, İstinye University, Department of English Language and Literature, İstanbul, Turkey.

    Zéro Mani Soleymanlou Role Photo © Xavier Inchauspé The National Arts Centre (NAC) is Canada’s bilingual, multi-disciplinary home for the performing arts. The NAC presents, creates, produces and co-produces performing arts programming in various streams — the NAC Orchestra, Dance, English Theatre, French Theatre, Indigenous Theatre, and Popular Music and Variety — and nurtures the next generation of audiences and artists from across Canada. The NAC is located in the National Capital Region on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation Mandate The NAC is governed by the National Arts Centre Act, which defines its mandate as follows: to operate and maintain the Centre; to develop the performing arts in the National Capital Region; and to assist the Canada Council for the Arts in the development of the performing arts elsewhere in Canada. Accountability and Funding As a Crown Corporation, the NAC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Of the NAC’s total revenue, less than half is derived from an annual Parliamentary appropriation, while more than half comes from earned revenue — box office sales, food and beverage services, parking services and hall rentals – and from the NAC Foundation. Each year, the Minister of Canadian Heritage tables the NAC annual report in Parliament. The Auditor General of Canada is the NAC’s external auditor. Embracing Structure A Board of Trustees consisting of 10 members from across Canada, chaired by Adrian Burns, Change oversees the NAC. The President and CEO is Christopher Deacon.
