Here is news on the battle raging to keep foreclosure education services available to the public. The $25 million seems like a reasonable cost to help keep people in their homes. I am sure the negative effect by the increase in foreclosures wills more than the out weigh the $25 million proposed savings.

Thousands of Distressed Homeowners Will Be Left in the Lurch—and Communities Devastated – by Imminent Loss of State Funding for Foreclosure Prevention Housing Counseling and Legal Defense
Albany, N.Y., January 31, 2012 - Today elected officials, including New York State Senators David Carlucci (Rockland), Adriano Espaillat (Upper Manhattan), Mark Grisanti (Buffalo), Jeffrey D. Klein (Bronx/Westchester), Diane J. Savino (Staten Island/Brooklyn), Malcolm A. Smith (Brooklyn) and David Valesky (Syracuse), and Assemblymembers James D. Conte (Nassau/Suffolk), Guillermo Linares (Upper Manhattan),Vito J. Lopez (Brooklyn), Francisco P. Moya (Queens) and Helene E. Weinstein (Brooklyn) and other legislators along with non-profit housing counseling and legal services organizations held a press conference at the Legislative Office Building to call on Governor Cuomo to restore $25 million for the statewide Foreclosure Prevention Services Program in his 30 day amendments to the Executive Budget.
At the press conference and throughout the day, advocates delivered “keys” to all Assemblymembers and Senators for the counties each serves. Each key is attached to a luggage tag reflecting the number of homes in that county at risk of foreclosure, noting the $245,000 negative economic impact for each foreclosed home, and urging the legislators to support funding for the Foreclosure Prevention Services Program. The incredibly cost-effective state program that provides housing counseling and legal services to struggling homeowners is scheduled to be shuttered in April 2012, despite recent reports indicating that New York is at best only half-way through the foreclosure crisis.
“The foreclosure crisis is far from over in New York,” said Senator Jeffrey D. Klein (Bronx/ Westchester). “These programs are on the front lines of keeping people in their homes and keeping our communities safe from the ripple effects that come with having a boarded up house on the block. Keeping them going is not only important, but vital to keeping New York on the right track.”
Nearly 250,000 homeowners of owner-occupied 1-4 family homes are in foreclosure or serious delinquency in New York. This foreclosure crisis continues to have devastating effects on communities across the State - abandoned homes and neighborhood blight create magnets for crime and severely depress nearby home values - affecting not just the homeowners and their tenants whose homes are lost to foreclosure, but communities as a whole, as local tax bases are degraded and municipalities are left with reduced revenues available to keep local government functioning.
"Anyone who remembers the bad old days of New York City remembers that with each boarded up home, comes crime, comes drugs, and comes the lowering of the quality of life for everyone who lives nearby," said Senator Diane Savino (Staten Island/ Brooklyn). "These foreclosure prevention programs are critically important to not only keep people in their homes, but also to preserve the progress made in our neighborhoods."
The services provided by the Foreclosure Prevention Services Program are essential to preserving New York's economic security and recovery. Over four years, approximately $50 million was appropriated for housing counseling and legal services providers across the State. With this modest investment, to date, over 80,000 homeowners have been assisted and at least 14,000 homes have been saved from foreclosure. This translates to over $3.4 billion in property value and tax base preserved, and a return of $68 for every $1 invested in the program - a dramatic savings in the time of austerity budgets. Without continued funding, many programs around the State will be forced to shut their doors, leaving homeowners to fend for themselves in a complicated and often overwhelming process.
Foreclosure prevention funding will provide that critical safety net for thousands of residents right here in the Hudson Valley," said Senator David Carlucci, (Rockland/ Orange). "Rockland and Orange Counties are still suffering from the devastating effects that rocked the housing market. This is a life saving program that will also save millions of dollars in revenue for local governments and ensure that home values in our communities remain stable. I would like to thank Governor Cuomo for his commitment to this vital program and look forward to working with him and my colleagues during this legislative session."
"Preserving a home through loan modification requires a homeowner to navigate a fundamentally flawed labyrinth of bank ineptitude leading to multiple document submissions, contradictory notices, and wrongful denials," observed Justin Haines, Director of Foreclosure Prevention at Legal Services NYC - Bronx. "The banks' bad behavior, including robo-signing bad ownership documents, delaying tactics, failing to file paperwork required by the courts to schedule settlement conferences for homeowners, and hiring foreclosure mill law firms that disregard the dignity and rights of homeowners, is well documented,"
Rhoda Carter, a client of MFY Legal Services and housing counseling provider Asian Americans for Equality, agrees, "It is impossible for an ordinary citizen to cut through the red tape and bureaucracy. I was terrified about what would happen to me and my home if I lost my legal services lawyer and housing counselor." Even though the foreclosure action filed against Ms. Carter was kicked out of court because the securitized trust that claimed to own her mortgage loan didn’t, it took Ms. Carter’s advocacy team almost another year to obtain a loan modification for her.
Elected officials, housing counselors, foreclosure defense legal services, and New York homeowners join Mehmet Nabi Israfil, a client of Legal Services NYC - Bronx, in "urgently and forcefully requesting that Governor Cuomo continue funding for foreclosure prevention services." Advocates urge that, without the essential services provided across the state through housing counselors and legal service providers, the consumer protections established by the New York State legislature over the past three years will be rendered meaningless. Unless this funding is restored to the budget, New York look forward to continued wrongful foreclosures, deeply underwater homes, loss of home values, erosion of local property tax bases, and increased homelessness.

Bronx Clergy Bless New Offices of the Bronx Community Pride Center
Here is news on cooperation between local pastors and the new Bronx Pride Center that just opened up.

LGBTQ Community and Faith Communities Come Together in Dialogue
On Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 8 Pastors from varying faiths joined together to tour the new offices of the Bronx Community Pride Center, ironically located in the Rev. Ruben Diaz Gardens Building. The Pastors met with staff and clients of the LGBTQ community center and participated in an Interdenominational Blessing of the Space.
The Bronx Community Pride Center (BCPC), the borough’s only LGBTQ social service agency, is predominately a youth services center, but also provides case management and social opportunities to the lesbian and transgender communities. Located on 149th Street in Mott Haven for over 15 years, the agency had to move when notified of myriad building violations in their old space. Working with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. and Kathy Zamechansky, a local real estate agent, BCPC soon identified their new site, which is accessible to the disabled, centrally located and modern.
Dirk McCall, the Executive Director of the Bronx Community Pride Center, thanked the Pastors for attending and spoke of the agency’s hopes to work more closely with the faith community, “Our clients and staff have strong ties to the faith community and religion has played a large role in their lives and upbringing. While we might not always agree on all issues, we want to engage in dialogue and find areas of common ground, working together to improve the lives of all LGBTQ Bronxites.”
Bishop Wenzell P. Jackson, Pastor of the Mount Hermon Baptist Church and the Chair of Bronx Community Board 4, offered the first blessing, noting, “This new and beautiful space offers a place of refuge for those who need it and I appreciate the opportunity to be apart of this dedication and invoking of God's presence."
Pastor Paul Block, from Transfiguration Lutheran Church on Prospect Avenue, and the dean of the Lutheran congregations in the Bronx, prayed for the clients of the agency and for a copier to be donated.
The Rev. Martha Overall from St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Mott Haven, explained, “The Pride Center is a vital sanctuary providing life-sustaining services; my prayer is that God will shower them with resources to continue their good work. I also hope that those who are not part of the LGBT community, and who may be part of a sometimes hostile world, will make an effort to get to know more LGBT people and to learn about the obstacles they face.”
Pastor Doug Cunningham, of New Day Church in the NW Bronx (East 199th Street and Bainbridge), declared, “The Bronx Community Pride Center is a great blessing as we build community for all people in the Bronx. At New Day Church we are finding the abundance of crossing boundaries of race, class, sexual orientation and age and the Bronx Community Pride Center provides critically important resources and partnership for us in that process.”
The Rev. Pat Bumgardner, The Pastor of Metropolitan Community Church of New York, closed out the blessings, proclaiming, “The Bronx Community Pride Center is a blessing to the entire Bronx community, especially the LGBT community. It offers safe space to all, including youth, and in that way furthers the future of our city as a whole. It was a blessing to me to pay tribute to the visionary leaders who laid the foundation for the center, and to those now carrying that vision forward.”
Also attending were Pastor Ulf Lunow, of First Lutheran of Throggs Neck and Pastor Paul Milholland, from Trinity Lutheran Church of Long Island City.
Prayers were offered for the ongoing good work of the Bronx Community Pride Center, for peace and understanding between all people, for greater support for these vital services in incredibly lean times (donations which can be made online at bronxpride.org) and for a new copier to be donated to replace the one seized from the agency last year.

SINFONIETTA OF RIVERDALE TO PERFORM THEATRICAL WORK AND WORLD PREMIERE
Here is news on a Classical performance taking place at the Riverdale Temple.
Enjoy

********
SINFONIETTA TO PERFORM THEATRICAL WORK AND WORLD PREMIERE
“THE SOLDIER’S TALE” A MUSICAL STORY WITH THREE ACTORS
For the first time at their concerts, the Sinfonietta of Riverdale will collaborate with actors to present the Faustian play “The Soldier’s Tale” by Igor Stravinsky. With raucous and sly jazzy musical numbers (such as Tango, Waltz and Ragtime), it tells the story of a Soldier who engages in a duel of wits with The Devil, loses to him at a game of cards, and battles over the fate of his precious violin. Also on the program by Stravinsky is his Concerto in E-flat “Dumbarton Oaks,” inspired by the Brandenburg Concerti of Bach.
In another first for the Sinfonietta, it will present a world premiere performance of music by California-based composer, Byron Adams. Exquisitely well-crafted, the lovely “Serenade” for nine instruments hearkens back to musical traditions from the time of Dvorak, with a fresh and beguilingly personal voice.
Standard ticket price is $35 per concert (more details below). Discounted subscriptions are still available
The concerts of the Sinfonietta of Riverdale have gained a reputation for fine musicianship and stimulating programs (“Off-the-hook fabulous,” Time Out New York; “High culture has flowed northward into the Bronx,” The New Yorker; “Some Big Music for Little Riverdale,” The New York Daily News). Beyond this, they are also becoming known as major events that audiences do not want to miss. The concerts have attracted the attention of world-famous composers and musicians, a principal dancer from the Martha Graham Dance Company, vocalists from the Metropolitan and New York City Opera companies—and in December, most notably, audience members Esa-Pekka Salonen (former music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic) and Alan Gilbert (current music director of the New York Philharmonic). The Sinfonietta of Riverdale, now starting its fourth season, has become established as a major new performing entity in New York City.

Susan G. Komen Foundation Withdrawals funding for Breast Cancer Exams at Planned Parenthood Facilities
Speaker Quinn issued the following related to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and it's decision to stop funding breast cancer exams at Planned Parenthood Centers.
Gregory

STATEMENT BY COUNCIL SPEAKER CHRISTINE C. QUINN
Re: Susan G. Komen Foundation withdrawal of funding for breast cancer exams at Planned Parenthood facilities
"The decision of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to cut off funding for breast cancer exams at Planned Parenthood health centers is disappointing, and despite their protests to the contrary, appear to be a direct result of years of pressure from opponents of women's healthcare.
"Planned Parenthood helps tens of thousands of women nationwide identify breast cancer early when there is the best chance of successful treatment. Although this does not directly affect New Yorkers, the politicization of breast cancer screening funding decisions by Susan G. Komen will certainly affect all women across the country.
"Komen has been a trusted leader in the fight against breast cancer for many years. I'm disappointed that an organization which has done so much good for women and their health has capitulated to anti-choice ideologues and made a terribly damaging decision."

Book Banning in Arizona School Districts ?
Here is another sign that education in the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction. The following was sent to the Boogiedowner to help spread awareness about a ban on books in certain Arizona school districts. My Russian mother-in-law has volumes of books that were hand typed by average citizens when the Soviet Union was in the book banning business. Again, is the former Soviet Union the role model of our government elites? Do we fear Arizona might succeed from the Union? Are we scarred Mexico will invade Arizona to unite all the Chicano people under one flag? Can anyone suggest where this is going? Are we heading closer and closer to fascism in the land of the free and the brave?

To members and friends of Historians Against the War,
Arizona’s HB 2281 goes into effect today, February 1, 2012, and we are asking you to join a national Teach In and take a few minutes in your classes or other places to read a passage from one of the banned books.
This bill has taken Mexican American Studies out of school curriculum especially in the Tucson Unified School District. It is also a threat to ethnic studies in public education at all levels. The TUSD has recently gone into classrooms and boxed up books considered to be part of this program (while students were in classes). They have also regulated that certain themes in other books cannot be taught. For example, if Shakespeare’s The Tempest is taught, the theme of oppression cannot be. The books being “banned” are from a variety of writers, not just those in Mexican Studies.
The seven books that were removed from TUSD classrooms are:
Critical Race Theory by Richard Delgado
500 Years of Chicano History in Pictures edited by Elizabeth Martinez
Message to Aztlan by Rodolfo Corky Gonzales
Chicano! The History of the Mexican Civil Rights Movement by Arturo Rosales
Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Fiere
Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years edited by Bill Bigelow and Bob Peterson
Occupied America: A History of Chicanos by Rodolfo Acuña
There was some confusion in the news media about other works, such as Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and Rodolfo Anaya’s Bless, Me Ultima, being removed as well. While some teachers, and administrators, questioned whether they could continue to use such works, and were told that they should “stay away from any units where race, ethnicity and oppression are central themes” the books were not removed from the classrooms.

Councilman Vacca Introduces Reusable Muni-Meter Receipt Legislation
HOLY COW!!! If you thought a snow balls chance in hell had a better probability then the city passing legislation that would save people from onerous parking tickets, you might be proven wrong. Councilman James Vacca is behind the simple but ground breaking legislation where fairness trumps the cities insatiable need for parking ticket revenue.
Gregory
*******
Continuing his fight for parking fairness, Councilman James Vacca, Chair of the Council’s Transportation Committee, will be introducing legislation at the City Council Stated Meeting on Wednesday, February 1st. The bill would allow drivers who purchase muni-meter time at one location, to use the remaining time at a different muni-meter location.
New York City Department of Transportation officials have already stated that drivers who have time left on a muni-meter receipt can use that time elsewhere. However, judges and traffic enforcement agents have disagreed with this policy, forcing drivers to pay tickets when they have attempted to use purchased muni-meter time in a different part of the city outside where the muni meter time was initially purchased.
“New York City now raises over $600 million a year from drivers through parking tickets and fines. Many view the installation of muni-meters as another way for the city to increase revenue even though the city has consistently told us this was not the case. My legislation makes it clear that we will not be nickel and quartering drivers and they will be allowed to take excess time with them to their next location,” Vacca said.
Councilman Vacca encourages his colleagues to co-sponsor this bill.
