There was so much feedback on the positive results of the Bethlehem Recovery Center in the Bethlehem community that Northampton County funded the new RCO, “Change on 3rd St”, located at 117 North 3rd. street Easton, PA 18042. Hi, my name is Phillip Chaney. I am the program director at “Change on 3rd Street. I’m grateful to serve the community of Easton and to help individuals begin their journey in recovery. I am a recovering member of a 12-step fellowship with over 16 years’ clean. I want individual’s seeking recovery to know that they are not alone. The mission of Change on 3rd Street is “to help those with their recovery with the resources that we and other agencies have to offer because together, recovery works!” Change on 3rd Street offers persons in recovery a safe place to find support and access to resources that will help them to be successful in the journey ahead of them. We collaborate with the existing community resource centers to meet the needs of people who are in need of a variety of things. A soft-opening occurred on July 5, 2016; our official opening will be announced soon. We continue with our renovations and have added furniture which includes a television. This establishes an inviting ambience that can be felt the moment you enter Change on 3rd Street. The county funding has been put to good use by providing the renovations which also includes two new computers with internet access. With this valuable resource, we can offer assistance with career search, resume writing and resume editing. We also offer health & wellness, yoga, board games, 12-step meetings and much more to be planned. Change on 3rd Street wants to help. Recovery is real. Recovery is possible. It’s not surprising that I had never heard of National Recovery Month before getting involved in my own personal recovery from addiction. I had barely even known of recovery, or understood that it was possible. I certainly would have never thought it was something worth celebrating. I didn’t really know many people in long term recovery. As it turns out, they were there all along, cloaked in personal anonymity. Despite the fact that Recovery Month had been around for nearly two decades at the time, it wasn’t really happening in my community.

The 22nd annual ALPB Mid-Summer Classic will feature Freedom and Liberty Division players selected by fans and team officials in a matchup beginning at 7:30 p.m. “Our fans again stepped up and championed their favorite players to create two great rosters,” said Atlantic League President Rick White. “We want to thank the thousands of fans who voted and the team officials who helped us shape another terrific All-Star Game, and we congratulate the players selected. It’s going to be a great event.” The Liberty Division roster (see below) will feature 25 players – eight Somerset Patriots, seven High Point Rockers, six Long Island Ducks, and four New Britain Bees – led by 18-year Atlantic League veteran player and coach Enohel Polanco, bench and third base coach of the hosting York Revolution. The Liberty Division will be the “visiting” team for the All-Star Game. The Freedom Division team will consist of 23 players – eight Revs, six Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, five Lancaster Barnstormers, and four Sugar Land Skeeters – and be managed by Revolution skipper Mark Mason, the 31-year veteran coach/manager and the winningest manager in Revolution history. Mason’s Freedom Division team will serve as the “home” team for Wednesday’s game.

    VA SYL NI A N N C E O A P 2011-12 Annual Report L I A T I G O A N I N S T R A P E NIA VA CO L A Y L S A letter from our CEO I I’m proud to present to you the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR)’s Annual Report for fiscal year 2011-12. The year provided an opportunity for our coalition to engage communities across Pennsylvania in a broader conversation about child sexual abuse. T In November 2011, the national spotlight focused on former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky who was facing multiple criminal charges related to accusations that he sexually abused 10 boys. In June N 2012, he was tried for 48 related charges and convicted on 45 counts. All eyes were on Pennsylvania. With that spotlight came increased attention to child sexual abuse—and sexual assault in general. I’m proud to say PCAR led the way in advocating for the rights of sexual assault victims and educating the public about sexual abuse. We fought to keep the names of the survivors who testified about Sandusky private I by filing an amicus curiae in conjunction with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the Victim Rights Law Center, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, The National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Crime Victim Law Institute. Members of our staff stayed on-site throughout the entire trial process, offering victim perspectives to members of the media and their audience, and combating claims by Sandusky’s attorneys through blog responses and N O national media releases.

  • May 4, 2017 Mark Butler, Owner Harrisburg Senators Via Email
    May 4, 2017 Mark Butler, Owner Harrisburg Senators Via email: [email protected] Dear Mr. Butler, We write to you in opposition to the monkey rodeo shows scheduled to take place during a Senators game on May 26th. As experts in the field of primate care, we respectfully ask that you reconsider these events – for the good of both the monkeys and public perception of your team. While it may seem amusing on the surface, the monkeys used in these spectacles are poorly treated. Although the records of many monkey rental operators are generally less than stellar, and training and housing conditions can be incredibly stressful (and often abusive), the simple fact that they are forced to dress up and perform on cue in a terribly unnatural situation is reason enough for many people to boycott such events. The North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance is a coalition of eleven of the leading primate sanctuaries on the continent. In our sanctuaries, we care for close to 700 primates, many of whom were formerly used in entertainment. So that you may learn more about the harms of monkey rodeos, our advocacy position statement on this topic is attached. Also included is a fact sheet from the Humane Society of the United States and a collection of expert opinions which detail concerns about the public safety of your attendees and the substandard living conditions of the monkeys. An increasing number of teams have forsworn this archaic form of entertainment, including your fellow Minor League Baseball teams The Williamsport Crosscutters, The Lexington Legends, The Sugar Land Skeeters and The Long Island Ducks, as well as Northwoods League team The Kalamazoo Growlers.
