http://www.breitbart.com/article.php? Chief Israeli rabbi denounces career women *** begin quote *** *** end quote *** Now when any religious leader talks, I listen. The fact that it’s the “wrong” religion really doesn’t bother me much. I’ll take someone else’s insights. The fact that make them public, (i.e., publishes them), means they think it’s important. While one has to bear in mind that all the qualifiers and silent assumptions may be different, one can still listen respectfully, learn something, and benefit from the experiences. When I read this, my first thought was the rabbi has really stepped into a mess. Look at all the sacred cows that he is taking on. Feminism, family values, sexual equality, ceilings, and bunch of others. I think I can distill his statement into a single question. What is the proper role of women? My short answer is whatever they want it to be. As a consultant and an IT architect, my first thought is for what are the assumptions, paradigms, and memes involved. In this case, there are three hidden lessons in the statement. The rabbi has a certain paradigm of what women should do. I’m not sure how he plans to force them to operate in accordance with his paradigm. But, I’m opposed to that force. Women often are forced financially to work outside the home because of high taxes caused by Socialist big governments. I’m vigorously opposed to that. One has to admire the rabbi’s ideal of the family as the building block of society. Every child safe and secure, nurtured by a loving Mom, protected and provided for by Father. Quite different from what we have today. I wish we had more ideal families. I’m sure that Popes would agree with that. So, I’m sure my fellow alums don’t need this cheerleading to do their duty to Family. (If they do, they must have attended a different school?) It’s just a shame that everyone doesn’t see it similarly. |

Gatens was principal of
Roosevelt Elementary in “Adam and I have a really good relationship, and we work
really well together,” said Gatens, who has two
master’s degrees in education, one as a reading specialist from At “I kind of dreamed it up, and Adam helped me bring it to fruition,” Gatens said. “And that kind of showed me that he was the kind of person that I wanted to keep working with.” For Fried, the feeling is mutual. “We believe his energy, compassion for kids and knowledge of education will be a wonderful addition to an already strong administrative team,” Fried said. Gatens, who lives in “We’re going to call it a beach party,” Gatens said. “The kids will watch the movie, and at the other end of the room we’ll have a reception for the parents where they get to meet me.” For the older kids, he’s going to reach out to members of the district’s student council. “These kids are the leaders of the building,” Gatens said. “I want to bring those kids in and have them show me the building, walk me around and get to know me.” Gatens plans to be a very active presence in the school. “Another goal that I have here is that every child sees me everyday,” Gatens said. “When children feel that the adults who are around them are genuinely interested in them, then they respond well academically and socially. He said his goal is also to develop well-rounded students. “Academics are huge but we also want to help foster children who are compassionate and caring. It’s more than about how well you can do on a test. It’s about creating good people,” he said. ***End Quote*** # # # # # {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Brian is a member of the Class of 1992. Mike (Thanks, Mike.) } # # # # # |

The birds of Mandracchia, 51, of His birding courses, which run through the spring, consist of five field trips starting at Jackson Memorial High School that continue at several prime bird spotting locations in Jackson. “I love the variety,” he said. “You can go out there and never know what to expect on any given day.” Mandracchia works for the state
Department of Environmental. His interest in birds, he said, stems from
growing up around them, as well as his educational training. He received a bachelor
of science in biology from “We try to offer a variety of events for all ages,” said Virginia Morningstern, the principal library assistant who also is a member of the program planning team. “We’ve had Mr. Mandracchia here several times for different topics.” “ Mandracchia explained how there
are about 30 types of birds in “Some birds have increased in numbers, but others have just about disappeared,” said Mandracchia, describing how blue grosbeaks have become more populated, while bobwhite quails are hard to find now. In his exhibits, he usually shows photographs of birds
that he has taken around town, and a typical presentation will last about 90
minutes, he said, depending on questions from the audience. He sometimes
provides a checklist of birds in “It’s one of those fun hobbies,” Mandracchia said. “With a digital camera, you can take some nice digital pictures of the birds. “It isn’t that expensive of a hobby anymore.” Mandracchia also will be conducting an additional bird talk at Ocean County Library’s Upper Shores Branch in Lavallette at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

From: Sheryl Chung (Class of 1996) Hello Mr. Reinke, I enjoyed reading your paper on the weekend,
as usual a lot is always occurring in the I look forward to next week’s paper. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I hope that your 4th of July was a good one despite the rainy weather that we had. Bye, {JR: So how do I convert you from a reader to say a ambassadress (is that a word?) to the Class of 1996 and have you turn all the 96-ers into Jasper Jottings addicts? Sooner or later, I’ll have to stop doing Jottings, if for no other reason than mental frailty. So would assert that I’ve passed that long ago. While no one will probably ever dedicate the time, effort, and attention to it that I have, perhaps with the blog it might be possible to have a community of reader / writers active enough that it continues on. I haven’t seen this happen on the net anywhere yet. But it seems the logical outgrowth. Instead of one person putting in 20 hours a week, it should be possible to motivate 1200 people to put in one minute a week. Or is this trying to get nine women organized to produce a baby in one month? Everyone knows you can’t get nine men to cooperate for a month unless there’s a baseball involved.} |
