Mercy Works donated $1000 to the Seals Community Center at Kirk Park, as part of its "Day of Giving" in the Community. The donation will go toward the purchase of games and equipment for the Seals After School Program. Youth from Kirk Park, under the lead- ership of center director Denise Moore, have been regular participants in community programs offered through Mercy Works, including its popular Teen Tech program. The Public Affairs program from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School donated $630 worth of refur- bished computer equipment to Wilson Park Community Center.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ----------------------------------------------------- )( ANDRE EPPS and TREVON HANKS, SUPPLEMENTED AND AMENDED COMPLAINT Plaintiffs, Civil Action No. 5:10-CV-1542 v. (DNH) (TWD) CITY OF SYRACUSE; OFFICER JURY TRIAL DEMANDED JAMES STONE, in his individual and official capacities; OFFICER JAMES MORRIS, in his individual and official Capacities; and OFFICER MICHAEL THOMAS, in his individual and official capacities, Defendants. ----------------------------------------------------- )( PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. This is an action about the rights of students to be educated in a safe environment free from unnecessarily violent and frightening encounters with the arrned police officers who permanently patrol their schools. Plaintiffs Andre Epps and Trevon Hanks, students at the time of the incidents described herein, bring this action against the City of Syracuse and three of its police officers who recklessly tasered and handcuffed them in violation of their constitutional rights. 2. The police officers' actions were an unfortunate but inevitable result of the City of Syracuse's policies and practices governing the deployment of armed police officers in Syracuse public schools, which were designed to govern police activity on the streets of Syracuse, not the hallways and the playgrounds of its schools. The officers who shot and handcuffed Andre Epps and Trevon Hanks were guided by policies and training that failed to acknowledge the important 1 differences between regulating adult criminal behavior and regulating children within the educational environment. 3. The officers' actions were also a result of the City of Syracuse's failure, as a matter of policy and practice, to treat tasers as weapons capable of inflicting serious injury and even death.

  • Levens to Improve Thornden Park
    THE NOTTINGHAM CONNECTION 3100 East Genesee Street Syracuse, New York 13224 SPRING 2010 Nottingham Commemorates World AIDS Day The Nottingham chapter of the Teen Aids Task Force (TATF) commemorated World AIDS Day by displaying several panels from the Syracuse NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on December 1st. Each panel was made locally to commemorate a loved one lost to AIDS. The entire display filled a large part of the school li- brary. It included posters, pictures of TATF teens, and HIV Q&A. A panel was set up for students to sign their names and leave short messages. A “Common Threats” movie played in one corner of the room. The display was a collaboration between ACR and the Student Leadership Class, run by TATF advisor Janice Hammerle. Close to 400 people viewed the display. Levens To Improve Thornden Park Dorsey Levens (’89) visited the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce in the fall of 2009 to discuss plans for improvements to Thornden Park. Dorsey, who retired as a football player for the Green Bay Packers, played for the Sherman Park Bulldogs in Thornden Park, the city’s second-largest park. He plans, through the Dorsey Levens Foundation, to make Thornden into the first “green” park in New York state by making sure all improvements are environmentally sound. Some of the areas needing improve- ments and repairs are the athletic field, basketball courts, tennis courts, and amphitheater stage. The goal is to restore the park to provide a safe place for children and adults to enjoy. Dorsey has rallied other SU greats including Jim Boeheim and Carmelo Anthony.
