May 1993
Table of Contents
May Is Mental Health Month (front cover)
News From "Collage" (3)
Time again for softball, as the "Social Club Sentinels" are looking good
at practice. Community Food Advocate Nilda Colon explains the SICM Food
Pantry. For further information, call Collage at 381-3956 or visit them
at 730 State Street in Schenectady.
In Memoriam: Dan BaRoss (3)
"Many people were saddened by the loss of Dan BaRoss, who died recently
after a long illness. Dan worked as a counselor at Mohawk Opportunities
and was well known by many. Perhaps the best way to honor someone who has
died is to remember the good things about him. Dan was intelligent,
enthusiastic, and very understanding, and he brought these qualities to
his work in counselling. He was also an artist, and his creative and
fresh thinking made him especially pleasant to work with...I had the
privilege of spending time with Dan when he was ill...We would have long
talks...and I hope that I may have cheered him up somewhat during the
time I spent with him. I will never forget Dan. He was a wonderful person
and so full of creativity, enthusiasm, and energy...The world is a sadder
place without him but we will all carry his memory in our hearts."
--Dinah Dietrich. CURE Comment: Thanks for reminding us one person can
make a difference, Dinah.
Goodby to Dr. Dempsey (3)
"We here at Ellis Hospital Continuing Treatment Program have recently
been informed that Dr. Dempsey, who has been our psychiatrist for many
years, is moving to the Franklin Street Clinic. He helped many people and
he will be missed. Good luck, Dr. Dempsey!" --Lori Weinstein. CURE
Comment: Another reminder.
Children and Mental Health: Articles from "The New York Times" (4)
The New York Times publishes some 50 articles a year on mental health
topics. A recent article on child therapy was written by Daniel Goleman,
co-author (with Jack Engler) of "The Consumer's Guide to Psychotherapy."
The article includes a list of questions to ask the therapist and
describes psychodynamic, behavioral, and family systems therapies. In an
article on state-run psychiatric hospitals for children, Diana Jean
Schemo cites a study by the Commission on the Quality of Care for the
Mentally Disabled. The study reports the institutions "often failed to
notify parents that their children were given medication. D.J. Jaffe, a
spokesman for the New York City Chapter of the Alliance for the Mentally
Ill said that this issue has been part of a longtime complaint among the
mentally ill and their families." --Richard Segal.
The Budget Gourmet (4)
Citrus Sparkle Salad --Anne-Marie Romeo.
The Wall (4)
The only difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone is how
you use them. --Mike Abair.
Spring (5)
"Spring is mostly thought of as a new beginning. It marks the start of
the growing season for farmers and for homeowners, it marks the time that
lawns, planting new trees and flower beds are uppermost in their minds. I
like to walk along a street near my home and look up at the trees, sky,
and the surroundings and breathe in the fresh air, which is a miraculous
change from the winter that we are all happy to bid good-bye to." --Ann-
Marie Romeo.
Jamaica Kincaid: A Writer to Look For (6)
"Jamie Kincaid is a writer now living in America who was born in Antigua.
Her stories are frequently seen in The New Yorker magazine. Her books
include 'At the Bottom of the River,' 'Annie John,' and 'Lucy.' For a
good read settle down with 'Annie John' on a rainy day or whenever you
have free time and want to relax. 'Annie John' is the story of a young
girl coming of age in Antigua." --Dinah Dietrich.
May 1993 Activities Calendar (centerfold)
A New STEMSS Meeting!!! (centerfold)
Support Together for Emotional and Mental Serenity and Sobriety is a
self-help group for people affected by both mental illness and chemical
dependency. For mote information, call Cliff Walden at 374-9139 or
Katherine Crouch at 374-3403.
Mothers and Daughters (7)
"'Close Company,' edited by Christine Park and Caroline Heaton, is a
collection of stories about mothers and daughters by such authors as
Margaret Atwood, Jamaica Kincaid, Jeannete Winterson, Alice Walker,
Sylvia Plath, Fay Weldon, and Katherine Mansfield...Another collection of
stories by women is entitled, "My Mother's Daughter," edited by Irene
Zahava. This book includes stories by Audre Lorde, Joyce Carol Oates,
Grace Paley, Ntozake Shange, and many others." --Dinah Dietrich.
Audre Lorde: How She Became a Poet (8-9)
"'Wherever the bird with no feet flew she found trees with no limbs.'
Thus wrote Audre Lorde, poet, essayist, novelist, feminist, who died
recently at the age of 58, leaving behind a vast and vitally influential
contribution to literature." --Dinah Dietrich.
Special Thoughts (10)
"As I sit here alone, my words are unheard
I speak no one listens, it's really absurd
I feel oh so lonely, forgotten and blue
Will someone please listen, I'm begging please do
Sometimes I awake in the still of the night and
sit here in fear for I know of my plight
Will a day ever come when so happy I'll be
I hope so sincerely this wish comes to me..." --Fred R.
CURE Comment: Why not drop Fred a note of appreciation c/o Reach Out?
You might simply let him know you listened.
Three Short Stories (11)
"The 'Best American Short Stories' anthologies present their short
stories from some of the best fiction-publishing magazines, including The
New Yorker, Story, and The Paris Review...In Amy Bloom's 'Silver Water' a
girl grows up while viewing the nervous breakdown and subsequent series
of doctors and halfway houses experienced by her sister...In Tobia
Wolff's 'Firelight' a boy and his pretty mother exchange subtle allegian-
ces while living in a boarding house of a strange town...in 'The Way
People Run' Christopher Tilghman presents a man driving about, far from
home, in search of a job." --Richard Segal.
Grins and Groans (back cover)
"There was an order of Monks that were only allowed to speak once a year,
one at a time, at dinner. One monk said, 'I don't like the mashed
potatoes, they are too lumpy.' The next year another monk stood up and
said, 'I rather like the mashed potatoes here. I find them rather tasty.'
The third year another monk got up and said, 'I want to be transferred to
another monastery. I can't stand the constant bickering.'" --Mike Abair.
