  • Trinity College Bulletin, March 1952
    TRINITY COLLEGE BULLETIN ALUMNI NEWS ISSUE • MARCH, 1952 • HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT IN THIS ISSUE T. H. Bissonnette A M emorial Cooper and Downs on History ..... Alumni Notes by the Class Secretaries Best Sports Story of 1951 Hell Week Out Profiles of Professors Costello, Harrington Goralski Improves A T rinity student as caricatured by the Chapel architect on a misericord arm in the chancel. George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

(Michael M Santiago/GettyImages/Getty Images) Just days before the eviction moratorium was set to expire, Albany passed emergency legislation to halt evictions until May 1, 2021. For the estimated 1.2 million New York families in rent arrears — many of whom are families with children — this news brought a momentary sigh of relief, but the paralyzing fear of eviction this spring shortly followed as New York still lacks any long-term plan to keep families safely housed. With hospitalizations and positivity rates continuing to spike and new unemployment claims being led at a dizzying pace, this temporary eviction ban is not a long-term solution, nor is waiting for the stars to align so we can return to “normal.” Consider this: When the 12.1% of New Yorkers collecting unemployment are able to return to a healthy job market, how many months of rental arrears will have piled up? And is repayment even possible? In 2018, 22% of New York City renters paid more than half of their household income in rent.

An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice.

  • With Increasing Economic Pressures and Public Health Concerns, and Fueled by the Crohurst Report, the Virginia Assembly Created the Hampton Roads Sewage Disposal Commission
    Visionary citizens of the region, on November 5, 1940, passed the referendum that established the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. As it prepares to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its creation, HRSD is paying tribute to those with the courage to vote to eliminate sewage pollution in the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay by publishing the story of their legacy. We hope that by understanding HRSD’s contributions to the health of area waterways and the economy of Coastal Virginia, those we serve will appreciate their role in “Living the Legacy.” F e b r u a r y 2 015 Contents: 3 Oysters Provide the Clue The First Referendum (Coming soon) The Second Referendum (Coming soon) The 1940s (To be posted the week of March 29) The 1950s (To be posted the week of May 24) The 1960s (To be posted the week of June 21) The 1970s (To be posted the week of July 19) The 1980s (To be posted the week of August 16) The 1990s (To be posted the week of September 13) The 2000s (To be posted the week of October 11) The 2010s (To be posted the week of November 5) G r a p h i c D e s i G n : b a r t M o r r i s OyProvidesters the Clue Water is a way of life in Hampton Roads; it is the one thing that both unifies and divides us as a region.

  • JUDGE: DOMA UNLAWFUL Mahony, Edmund H
    JUDGE: DOMA UNLAWFUL Mahony, Edmund H . Hartford Courant ; Hartford, Conn. [Hartford, Conn]01 Aug 2012: B.3. ProQuest document link ABSTRACT [...]the couples said they are excluded from a host of federal programs and protections, such as paid medical and family leave and survivor benefits under some Social Security laws. FULL TEXT A federal judge in Hartford ruled Tuesday that a federal law that defines marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant ruled that Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act illegally prevents gay married couples from receiving the same benefits under federal law as heterosexual married couples. Bryant's ruling may have limited significance when considered among similar rulings in related challenges filed around the country by gay rights groups or their legal advocates. Bryant's decision is expected to be appealed, as are related suits in New York, Boston and elsewhere. The Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to decide the issue. At the center of all the suits is the question of whether the Defense of Marriage Act violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution by discriminating against gay, married couples Section 3 of DOMA requires that the word marriage, when included in any federal law or regulation, "means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife." The six gay couples from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont whose suit reached Bryant argued that the act prevents their marriages, legal in states such as Connecticut, from being recognized under more than 1,000 federal laws.
