This blog is an offshoot of my previous blog, Spreading Our Wings... http://www.spreadingourwings.blogspot.com.
As before, this blog is personal and political... serious and sometimes silly...
My goal is to relay what I deem to be important information, express some of my viewpoints, engage in some online creativity - and find out (please comment appropriately) what others are thinking, as well!

["Patty Ritchie fights Albany's New License Plate mandate"; as submitted to You Tube by RPFlower13601 on October 24, 2009; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUEEYBb_8rk]
A County Clerk, Patricia Ritchie [who has since been joined, according to the video above, by a Clerk from another county] has an online petition circulating to oppose "Governor Paterson's plan" to mandate license plate renewals accross the board (As of April 2010) - in New York State.
With many, if not most families, already suffering from the recession, increased mandates (certain license fees; such as fishing, hunting, etc...) and/or tax hikes (property, school, cigarettes...) - this new requirement would mean that everyone - as of April 2010 - would have to renew license plates for every vehicle [estimated to be over 10 Million, collectively; including all ATVs, cars, trucks and trailers] they own and/or register - at $25.00 [a ten dollar hike for new plates even minus the proposed (and almost set in stone...) mandate] each.
Over 5,000-6,000 people plus have reputedly signed Clerk Ritchies online petition, and if you [this would particularly effect those of us - living upstate and/or in rural communities that don't rely on the public transit system] would like to join them [sign onto the petition, as I have] - a direct link to www.nonewplates.com is provided in the sidebar >>>

You can also call your representatives in Albany regarding this issue - which is strongly suggested - because apparently New Yorkers need to be heard on this issue as soon as possible [See Alderman Mike Madsen's blog, "Kingston Progressive" (there is a blog link in the sidebar >>>)] for more information on this topic.

Bottom line (My Opinion...) --- we are still living in the aftermath of the above [I do not agree with the generalized partisan (targeting all Republicans) commentary...] --- and we (collectively) need to get a grip!
For example, if the people in New York State can't afford their taxes, lose their homes, can't afford to keep vehicles on the road, can't afford to engage in the wonderful privileges that New York State has to offer (tourism, fishing, hunting, etc...) and keep having their constitutional rights [I still believe former President Bush Jrs funding of Faith-based organizations was a violation of the "Separation and Church and State" - and I'm not happy with the fact that President Obama has kept it (modified somewhat) in place...] stomped on --- what good will all the revenue - raised by all of these rate increases, tax increases and/or new "control mechanisms" [Is all of this in the best interest of the majority of the population?] do?????
No one will choose - if this goes on and on in this manner - to LIVE (or DO BUSINESS!) HERE...
Which is already, for far too many people [Is New York State going to become purely a "Welfare State?" A "Bankrupt State?" A ghost of what could have and should have been?] - the case!

I'm also wondering what local folks - those who have been able to invest in solar energy of some sort - have to say about the cost and/or outcomes...
I would love, should I get the chance, to try this out via a relatively small solar (I really caught the garden 'bug') greenhouse.

Addendum: I think I read somewhere that there is going to be a cleanup day at Forsyth this coming weekend. If anyone knows more about that please touch base!
Photos from yesterday's family event / Fall Festival at Forsyth Park (Thank you to everyone that made this great family event happen!) are pending...
The event was well intended - the corn maze was super-cool (smile) - and if you missed this year's event, I would highly recommend putting it on the calender (especially for families with young children) for next year! Some things (food, drinks, games) cost money... Some things were free... All of the offerings were pretty "nifty", creative and light-hearted...
[Note: The Italian Fest was so crowded (Must have been good!) that we couldn't find a place to park!]
The Halloween shop in the Town of Ulster (This is not a paid add!) is also awesome - as it is very much like a spook house (possibly too scary for some children) in and of itself... and it is also [unless you choose to shop...) free.
The Executive committee of the Kingston Uptown Resident's Association (KURA... over one-hundred individuals strong...] is seeking the involvement (no dues or fees) of people (diverse talents are appreciated) to collaborate in the improvement (a collective enterprise) of the community - so please pass the following information on (Help KURA build a collective citizens "voice"!) to anyone that might be interested:

Although technically I think Domestic Violence is defined as violence that takes place in the context of intimate relationships and/or in the home - the following video about violence in the workplace (This made me cry...) is very powerful:

Some photos are pending - but for right now I want to extend my "thank yous" (from the heart) to all of those involved!
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month; and tonight - at 6:30 PM - there will be purple lighting (to continue all month) at the U.C.

As someone that has worked in the human services area, I have been exposed to videos - during trainings - such as the following. They are tough to watch. But if we don't face the fact that these issues are real... and do what we can (as individuals and as a community) to educate, advocate and (where applicable) take the appropriate actions [I noticed, recently, that one of the Ward groups was going to address the topic of child sex offenders and child safety (Kudos!)] --- who will?

Some (outdated but still pertinent) statistics:
"Early identification of sexual abuse victims appears to be crucial to the reduction of suffering of abused youth and to the establishment of support systems for assistance in pursuing appropriate psychological development and healthier adult functioning . As long as disclosure continues to be a problem for young victims, then fear, suffering, and psychological distress will, like the secret, remain with the victim" [Bagley, 1992; Bagley, 1991; Finkelhor et al. 1990; Whitlock & Gillman, 1989].
"Young girls who are forced to have sex are three times more likely to develop psychiatric disorders or abuse alcohol and drugs in adulthood, than girls who are not sexually abused. Sexual abuse was also more strongly linked with substance abuse than with psychiatric disorders. It was also suggested that sexual abuse may lead some girls to become sexually active at an earlier age and seek out older boyfriends who might, in turn, introduce them to drugs. Psychiatric disorders were from 2.6 to 3.3 times more common among women whose CSA included intercourse, and the risk of substance abuse was increased more than fourfold, according to the results. Family factors -- parental education, parenting behavior, family financial status, church attendance -- had little impact on the prevalence of psychiatric or substance abuse disorders among these women, the investigators observe. Similarly, parental psychopathology did not predict the association between CSA and later sychopathology" (Kenneth S. Kendler, M.D., et al, Medical College of Virginia Commonwealth University, Archives of General Psychiatry 2000;57:953-959; Medscape (Review)]
"Adolescents with a history of sexual abuse are significantly more likely than their counterparts to engage in sexual behavior that puts them at risk for HIV infection, according to Dr. Larry K. Brown and associates, from Rhode Island Hospital, in Providence. Inconsistent condom use was three times more likely among youths who had been sexually abused than among the 55 who had not. A history of sexual abuse was also significantly associated with less impulse control and higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases. According to Dr. Brown, 'These results suggest two things. Abused kids need adequate counseling around abuse issues. A lot of these kids keep re-experiencing the anxiety and trauma for years.' The second issue, he said, is that 'most therapy does not address current sexual behavior' and the anxieties that sexually abused adolescents experience" (Larry K. Brown, M.D., et al, "American Journal of Psychiatry"; 2000;157:1413-1415).
As of 1992 (CCPCA), "approximately 95% of teenage prostitutes [reported having been] sexually abused."
"Long term effects of child abuse include fear, anxiety, depression, anger, hostility, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor self esteem, tendency toward substance abuse and difficulty with close relationships" [Browne & Finkelhor, 1986].
As of 1991 (U.S. Department of Justice), "approximately 31% of women in prison state that they had been abused as children."
As of 1993 (Forward) there were reputedly an estimated "60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America."
["Blue - an introduction - child abuse"; as submitted to You Tube by bleaux42 on March 29, 2007; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_UCrnbleCk]
"Sexual and Other Abuse May Alter a Brain Region..."
"Many women and men who have been subjected to severe physical or sexual abuse during childhood suffer from long-term disturbances of the psyche. They may be invaded by nightmares and flashbacks -- much like survivors of war -- or, conversely, may freeze into benumbed calm in situations of extreme stress. Two recent studies find that survivors of child abuse may also have a smaller hippocampus relative to control subjects. If substantiated, the discovery could fill out the profile of an abuse survivor and help define what constitutes abuse."
"Changes in the hippocampus--the part of the brain that deals with short-term memory and possibly the encoding and retrieval of long-term memory--could, researchers suggest, be wrought by hormones flooding the brain during and after a stressful episode."
"Dissociation and PTSD are not sharply separated and often alternate in the same individual. Dissociation, often employed by children who cannot escape from the threat of abuse, is a means of mentally withdrawing from a horrific situation by separating it from conscious awareness. The skill allows the victim to feel detached from the body or self, as if what is happening is not happening to her or him."
"David W. Foy of Pepperdine University notes that within days or weeks of a traumatic experience, therapy seems beneficial in dispelling PTSD. This period, Bremner speculates, could reflect the timescale over which the hippocampus organizes experiences into a person's worldview. Although some functions of the hippocampus are known, its mechanics are poorly understood."
"Psychiatrists contend that if repeatedly invoked in childhood, dissociation prevents memories from being integrated into consciousness and can lead to an altered sense of self. Many normal children play with imaginary companions; abused children can use such creative resources to a pathological extent, in extreme cases falling prey to multiple personality disorder (MPD). Adults may continue to use dissociation as a coping mechanism. Once dissociation or PTSD develops, the majority of psychological symptoms and the hormonal profile are very resistant to treatment" ("Scientific American," N.Y., (273: 4) 10/95, P. 14.)
"The typical child sex offender [My guess is that this number only pertains to serial pedophiles - but this is still huge...!] molests an average of 117 children, most of who do not report the offence" [National Institute of Mental Health, 1988; bold emphasis mine)].
"It is estimated that approximately 71% of child sex offenders are under 35 and knew the victim at least casually. About 80% of these individuals fall within normal intelligence ranges; 59% gain sexual access to their victims through, seduction or enticement" (Burgess & Groth, 1984).
----------------------------------------------
"Survey Shows Dramatic Increase in Child Abuse and Neglect, 1986-1993... Excerpts from HHS Release, September 18, 1996...
The Department of Health and Human Services released a survey estimating that child abuse and neglect in the United States nearly doubled during the seven years between 1986 and 1993.
According to the HHS study, the number of total child maltreatment instances that were investigated by state agencies remained constant from 1986 to 1993; however, the percentage of cases investigated declined dramatically.
'It is shameful and startling to see that so many more children are in danger and that proportionately fewer incidents are investigated,' HHS Secretary Donna E. Shalala said. 'Now states, schools, health care professionals -- all of us -- must commit ourselves to investigating and preventing child abuse with far greater effectiveness than we have seen in the past.'
The report estimated the number of abused and neglected children increased from 1.4 million in 1986, to over 2.8 million in 1993. The number of children who were seriously injured quadrupled from about 143,000 to nearly 570,000.
Schools identified the largest number of children at risk, yet state services investigated only 16 percent of these children. For the cases identified in the study, less than 50 percent of children identified as maltreated by any source (except law enforcement) were investigated by child protective services. [Bold emphasis mine].
Shalala said, 'We are giving states more flexibility, demanding more accountability and focusing on the only bottom line that matters: results.'
In regard to sexual victimization, the NIS survey concluded: Girls are sexually abused three times more often than boys; Boys have greater risk of emotional neglect & serious injury than girls.
The NIS is funded by HHS National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect and mandated by Congress. Previous NIS studies were released in 1981 and 1988."
