Waqaa, My wife and I will be traveling to Maine this Spring Break, (mid-March for jobs). She is a lab tech and will seek work at Aroostook Medical Center. I am a certified K-8 elementary teacher in the State of Michigan and Alaska. What is the job market like in Aroostook county? We have three children who will be in the school system for another 10 years. Does Alaska or Michigan cerification reciprocate with Maine certification? What teachers union is there, NEA or AFT? Any response would be helpful. Thank you, Donald

July 7-11, 2003. "Reclaiming Connections: Caring, Trust and Social Justice in Schools and Communities".
A Summer Institute in Cambridge, Mass. sponsored by the Center for Peaceable Schools at Lesley University.
Practical solutions and hands-on practice for educators, parents and community members engaged in creating alternatives to a culture of disconnection and injustice. What role does the teaching of social justice play in the creation of strong and caring communities? How can we develop trust across the differences that so often divide us? What are the components of a truly caring classroom? How can we rethink and relearn the messages we receive from the larger culture about how to resolve conflict? What does it mean to teach peace instead of teaching war? Keynotes this year include educator Nel Noddings and performance artist Michael Fowlin. 30 PDPs. $450.

The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth is a new public health project at Georgetown University funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We're focusing attention and action on alcohol industry marketing practices that jeopardize the health and safety of youth, and hope to be active in Maine. The information we produce is often troubling to teachers and parents, since the alcohol industry places ads where adults are less likely to see them.
Some of our findings to date are:
* Youth ages 12-20 saw 45% more beer magazine ads and 27% more hard liquor magazine ads in 2001 than people over 21. That same age group saw 95 percent more beer magazine ads than people over age 35. Yet youth saw 58% fewer magazine ads for wine.
* Youth saw 60% more magazine ads for "malternatives," or sweet low-alcohol refreshers like Smirnoff Ice and Mike's Hard Lemonade, than adults.
* Youth saw more television commercials for beer and ale than for fruit juice, gum, chips, sneakers or jeans in 2001.
* One quarter of alcohol advertising on television in 2001 was more likely to be seen by youth than adults.
Please contact me if you'd like brochures, newsletter articles, reports, sample letters, a Power Point presentation or other resources.

Maine school personnel: Help us fight for repeal of the Government Pension Offset and the Windfall Elimination Provision, the two nasty laws that keep many of us from getting our social security at retirement. Bills have just this week been filed in Congress that would eliminate them, but we need you to contact your Congressional delegations and encourage their support for repeal. Hundreds of thousands of school personnel across Maine and 14 other states would really make a difference. Please fight for your rights. Check this out: [link removed]
