Response to Demand for Alcohol and Drug Services Resulting from 9-11 Terrorist Attack What We See Happening The demand for services can be characterized in three ways: 1. The immediate impact on children and families and through schools. 2. The demand for more intensive services by those currently in treatment or the renewed demand by those patients who relapse or fear relapse. Following the September 11 attacks, there was an immediate increase in demand for services from the alcohol and drug treatment system. Many individuals currently in treatment required more intensive therapy to help them cope with increased stress caused by the trauma of the attacks. Other patients relapsed and required treatment services again for alcohol or drug addiction. In the month since the disaster, OASAS repeatedly conducted surveys to determine the needs and experiences of New York Metropolitan area alcohol and drug treatment service providers. They found significant increases in service as evidenced by: Average increases of 25 percent more group therapy sessions per week Increases of between 20 percent and 40 percent of individual counseling sessions per program per week (there was a particular need for increased services for veterans) Increases of hours of operations expanding an average of 15 to 25 hours per week

Naturally, that means spending more money: he would have Washington hire teachers and build schools. Many states, flush with cash, also plan to spend more. But the problem of education is monopoly, not money. Average SAT scores dropped from 980 to 899 between 1963 and 1992, while real per-pupil spending rose 160 percent. In fact, real spending per pupil has risen 40 percent a decade since World War II. The past decade of "reforms" has changed nothing. The 1994 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) test found that 36 percent of fourth graders, 39 percent of eighth graders, and 57 percent of 12th graders failed to meet basic history standards. In most other subjects students perform poorly, and, incredibly, do worse the longer they stay in school. Last year the journal Education Week called America's public schools "rife with mediocrity," reporting that "there is no state in which at least half the students perform at the 'proficient' level or above." It refused to give the states grades based on their NAEP results, since "all would have failed." International comparisons tell an equally dismal story, with American students scoring below foreign kids in almost every subject. The latest survey, the Third International Mathematics and Science Study, ranked America 19th out of 21 countries in math, surpassing only Cyprus and South Africa. (No Asian nations, whose students typically do well, participated.)

Among the areas this decision will touch are: Education : The ruling will impact the discussion of funding for public schools, which was a contentious issue during the 2000 campaign. Proponents of vouchers argue that the government should spend its money in the most productive educational environments regardless of religious affiliation; opponents argue that government funds should remain in public, secular school settings. Church-State Separation : Strict church-state separationists oppose all school voucher programs because they feel that such programs give students incentives to attend religious schools, in violation of the establishment clause of the Constitution. Supporters of vouchers counter that the programs provide students with a wider range of choicesincluding both religious and secular schoolsso that they can receive the best education possible. Faith-Based Initiative : The Court's ruling will likely impact the larger debate about

Profile of Wichita Falls WICHITA FALLS HISTORY Throughout the early days, farming was the major industry. Practically everyone in the city, including merchants, owed their living to the harvest. Corn was the first major cash crop in the area. By the early 1900's, wheat had surpassed corn, due to Frank Kell's efforts in establishing milling operations. One of the most prominent factories in the early days was the Wichita Broom Manufacturing Company which marketed brooms nationwide. Industry notwithstanding, as early as 1909, Wichitans enjoyed movies, vaudeville acts, live theatre, and concerts at the Wichita Opera House, which later became the Wichita Theatre. Some firsts for the area: the First United Methodist Church was built in 1881. Schools sprang up by 1890. The first automobile came to the city in 1907. Regular street car service began in 1909 and ended in 1933. Wichita Falls also became the first Texas city to have natural gas service and purchased the first motorized fire truck west of the Mississippi. We have a long aerial history spanning 1911 to 1930, as history-making visitors passed through the city. The earliest came with the "Flying Dutchman's" biplane flight and Louis Bleriot's Bleriot XI (the first man to fly across the English Channel). Frank Hawk stopped at

Find: Religious Freedom and Religious Tyranny By Howard Simon, Ph.D. Executive Director , May 1998 Back in 1992 Pat Buchanan, the firebrand political commentator and sometimes presidential candidate, told those attending a political convention that "there is a religious and cultural war going on in this country." He urged people to "take back our cities, take back our culture and take back our country." Perhaps because of his venomous delivery, his words were shocking and upsetting. They were too crude and roughedged for a prime time TV speech, the commentators opined. But he was not wrong. Though people don't like to talk about it, there is a good deal of cultural and religious warfare going on in this country. It is even thought to be impolite to characterize the issues and disputes in this way, but we are facing a number of divisive issues that are rooted in theological and religious differences. The battle to save women's reproductive freedom, specifically the right to an abortion which has been both ideological and violent here in Florida, is largely rooted in differing theological perspectives. A view held by politically powerful religious groups, but not shared by all religious denominations, is that life begins at the moment of conception. In this view, the voluntary termination of any pregnancy is murder because potential life is more deserving of legal and constitutional protection than the health and rights of women.

The North Texas Activist! Summer 1997 The far right’s "Religious Freedom Amendment" is no friend of religious freedom by Ronald B. Flowers Senators Specter (R-PA) and Wolf (R-VA) recently introduced a bill in Congress that would put the United States on record as opposing religious persecution in some countries. This legislation also demands that the United States place economic and political sanctions on nations that practice religious persecution. Unfortunately, persecution is common and is often inflicted by governments themselves. It is entirely appropriate that the United States go on record as opposing oppression of religious groups and individuals, given that one of the cornerstones of our own system is separation of church and state and the preservation of religious freedom. The irony surrounding this proposed legislation opposing government-sponsored religious tyranny is that another bill, introduced by Rep. Ernest Istook (R-Okla.), H.J.Res 78, the "Religious Freedom Amendment," threatens to do in the United States just what Senator Specter’s bill wants to prevent abroad. That is, the Istook proposal invites government to interfere daily in the religious lives of all Americans. amendment to the Constitution.

Intensive English Program The IEC Intensive English Program is open to non-native speakers of English who have a serious desire to improve their language skills. This challenging program is useful to working professionals and to students preparing for university study or professional programs. Students from more than 40 countries have attended the program. The Intensive English Program offers three, fourteen-week sessions yearly. In one year, students should be able to progress through the six-level core program. Classes meet five hours daily, five days per week. The course of study is based on an integrated skills approach with listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar components. Fluency and accuracy in both spoken and written English are emphasized. Individualized computer based instruction assures that each student has a substantial number of interactions with a native English speaking model. Classes average ten students. The small class size allows each participant a maximum of individual attention and an opportunity to develop conversational skills. Students enroll in either Intensive English for Academic Preparation or Intensive English for Communication Skills and Professional Development. Students may not enroll in both programs at the same time.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] February 11, 1999 SEARCH THE GAZETTE HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES Creating A Curriculum To Help Girls Battle Eating Disorders By Sally Anne Giedrys Special to the Gazette Lisa Sjostrom (left) and Catherine Steiner-Adair of the Harvard Eating Disorders Center, located in Boston's Back Bay. Photo by Kris Snibbe. "Full of Ourselves: Advancing Girl Power, Health and Leadership" is not your typical health curriculum. In fact, the curriculum, which is being piloted in 33 public and private schools in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma, doesn't even mention what it aims to prevent -- eating disorders. "Research shows that teaching about eating disorders can often backfire," said Catherine Steiner-Adair, who conceived the project and who is director of education, prevention, and outreach at the Harvard Eating Disorders Center (a division of Harvard Medical School). "It doesn't necessarily work, and it risks spreading the behaviors." What she hopes will work is a concerted effort to sustain girls in their health as they approach the minefield of adolescence. Along with the basics of healthy nutrition and exercise, "Full of Ourselves" teaches seventh-grade girls to be media-savvy consumers and careful observers of the world around them -- and to speak up when they don't like what they see. Lessons are devised to raise girls' awareness of "weightism" as a social justice issue, and provide them with tools they can use to feel confident in handling the inevitable stress of growing up.
