The Pantagraph has been running a series of articles on homelessness in our community. In Mary Ann Ford's article that appeared on Nov. 30, she focused on homeless youth and included a way for people to respond with any donations they would like to make for the youth served by Project Oz Transitional Living Program and Street Based Services.

Editor, the Tribune: I have noticed a series of articles on the economic effects of Columbia's smoking ban. Spirited public debate is always news when two opposing sides fight about public policy. Certainly there was a very spirited public debate that resulted in the bottle bill beingrepealed. There were a lot of articles then about how the bottle deposit was costing jobs and encouraged homelessness. Public policy is not a football game where one side wins and the other loses. It was a minority of extreme fanatics that were most interested in the media being "fair and balanced"that gave us Fox News. Perhaps we should have a spirited public debate about the media and why people should pay for news from professionals supported by corporations or get it for free from citizen journalists of...

A friend once told me that she doesn't like to read my articles, since so many of them are about people in crisis. Over the years, I've written extensively about child abuse, death and the sometimes drawn-out process of dying, substance abuse, homelessness, poverty, severe illness, fractured families and other admittedly sorrowful subjects. You are," she teased me gently, "the original bad news bear.

Consortium offers assistance to those who need a hand We'd like to offer sincere thanks to The Gazette for the series of articles this week raising awareness of the plight of the homeless in our community. As directors of local nonprofit agencies providing services to homeless families and individuals, we appreciate how important it is for our citizens to understand how devastating homelessness can be, not only for those directly experiencing the trauma, but also for the community as a whole in terms of its impact on financial and physical resources (police, medical, etc.).

No horses here please The Buckskin Charley/Arnold trail loop was my small slice of refuge in Garden of the Gods park. Perfect for a daily hike. Recently, evidence has been piling up that this once lovely trail is now favored by equestrians. Their horseshoes are not bringing us good luck but have already damaged newly constructed steps and summer trail improvements.

Supportive shelter yields super return In the last few months, there have been an increasing number of articles focusing on cuts to federal housing programs, specifically those designed to support the homeless and low- to moderate-income individuals and families. While I am concerned about the decreasing levels of funding for housing and services, I think it is equally important to continue to emphasize the benefits these programs offer to our communities. In Connecticut, we are experiencing a shortage in affordable housing at a time when poverty and homelessness throughout the state continues to rise. Although we have a reputation as a wealthy state, many of Connecticut's large cities are burdened with overwhelming poverty. Nearly 30 percent of Hartford, 25 percent of New Haven and 18 ...

There are numerous phrases inherent to FCS that include the word balance, phrases that are used by FCS professionals every day: the balanced diet, the balanced budget, the balance sheet, and balance as a principle of design. A question heard often is: "Does it balance?" This may apply to one's bank account, time spent on work and leisure, the variety of food chosen for a meal, or the arrangement of furniture in a living room. The teacher who is only technically skilled is not the teacher who is sought today to fill positions in our schools, but rather the one who is professionally trained and whose course of study and experience has been sufficiently broad to enable her to see her subject in its true proportion to other subjects in the curriculum, and who is able to apply educational ...
