FLORIDA STATE PARKS CELEBRATE LITERACY WITH FREE ENTRY SEPTEMBER 8

~September is Literacy Month at Florida State Parks. Enjoy free entrance to state parks on Sunday, Sept. 8~

Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park volunteer Gretchen Scoggins reads to children at the park.

TALLAHASSEE –The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Park Service will celebrate National Literacy Month with special events at state parks statewide. The month will be celebrated in conjunction with International Literacy Day on Sunday, Sept. 8 and National Library Card Signup Month.

Florida's state parks will offer free* entrance on Sunday, Sept. 8 to visitors who bring a library card, a library book or who donate a new or gently-used, family friendly book (*excludes Skyway Fishing Pier State Park).

"Literacy is very important for people of all ages," said Florida Park Service Director Donald Forgione, "We are excited to celebrate reading and provide the best spots in the state to curl up with a good book to enjoy nature and the great outdoors."

The Florida Park Service, Department of Education and Department of State have joined together to stress the importance of literacy for all ages. This partnership follows the summertime activities of Florida’s First Lady Ann Scott, who encourages children to read through her Summer Literacy Adventure.

“Reading is the foundation for student learning and helps them prepare for success in life and in the classroom,” said Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart. “Literacy Month puts a focus on strengthening students’ skills in a fun way. I encourage parents and their children to pick up a book and read together as they experience the wonderful adventures in state parks throughout the Sunshine State.“

More than 20 events are scheduled around the state in state parks throughout September. Statewide events will be held for children providing them with the opportunity to participate in activities, accentuating the importance of literacy. Book fairs will assist with issuing library cards. Children will hear stories, read from a variety of books and partake in outdoor crafts and activities.

Children authors and illustrators will make appearances and give hands-on interaction. For example, Evelyn Gilmer will read her book Maggie the Beagle with a Broken Tail and the Baby Sea Turtles at the Ochlockonee River State Park in Sopchoppy. At De Leon Springs State park in Deland, children will get the chance to meet with author Lucy Tobias, a member of the Florida Outdoor Writers Association.

Activities and crafts will include scavenger hunts, adventure walks, games and prizes. Magic and the Gentle Carousel Therapy Horses will give performances of characters from their favorite books at O'Leno State Park in High Springs. Children can also complete craft projects at the Museum at Fort Mose Historic State Park. Book exchanges will take place where one can either donate or exchange books will other participants. Braille and books-on-tape are welcome.

Throughout September, Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park will host events where park rangers spend time with 4th grade students in Hamilton County reading Marjorie Kinnan Rawling’s Classic novel The Yearling. Students will read in class with their teachers and visit the state park to hear more about the pioneer family braving the wilds of what is now the Ocala National Forest. The Grand Finale will take place on Wednesday, September 25 when the final chapters of the book will be read by a Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings look-a-like.

Comienza “Rosh Hashaná”, el año nuevo judío 5774

Comienza “Rosh Hashaná”, el año nuevo judío 5774, felicidades a toda la comunidad judia en los Estados Unidos.

Israelíes celebran el Año Nuevo judío en medio de la inestabilidad regional

EFE).-  La festividad, conocida en hebreo como "Rosh Hashaná", comienza al anochecer cuando el pueblo judío iniciará el año 5774 (2013-2014), que una vez más coincide con una situación de incertidumbre y calma contenida, de las que suelen preceder a los tambores de guerra.

La jornada festiva, en la que los judíos suelen volcarse con los dulces en multitudinarios encuentros familiares, concluye el viernes a la caída del sol.

El aplazamiento de un eventual ataque estadounidense por la intención del presidente, Barack Obama, de acudir al Congreso para obtener apoyos a una intervención militar limitada, parece haber relajado en los últimos días los ánimos entre la población, por lo menos hasta que transcurra esta fiesta de dos días.

"Yo personalmente no siento ninguna amenaza. Me siento seguro porque todo lo que está ocurriendo a nuestro alrededor no es asunto nuestro", dijo a Efe Roland Kaidar, de 51 años y terapeuta de profesión.

Emigrado a Jerusalén desde Francia hace dos décadas, destacó que "si hay algo de tensión es la que este tipo de fiestas provoca en mucha gente -a quién invitar, qué regalos comprar, qué preparar de cena- pero no por la situación política".

Un sensación que contrasta con la que la semana pasada se vivió en algunos centros de reparto de máscaras antigás, a los que acudieron miles de personas.

También están los que, más acostumbrados a coexistir con este tipo de situaciones desde la misma creación del Estado en 1948, viven el momento "como cualquier otro".

"Nosotros festejamos la fiesta como siempre. La vida continúa. EEUU debe atacar a ese asesino que sigue masacrando a su propio pueblo y la guerra no llegará a nosotros porque tenemos un ejército fuerte que nos defenderá. No tenemos miedo", afirma Rachel Lev, una jubilada que ya ha vivido otros episodios similares en Jerusalén.

Tras conocerse que la ofensiva en Siria está en espera, el Ejército israelí ha desmovilizado, de momento, al millar de reservistas que habían sido convocados la semana pasada.

Con todo, las Fuerzas Armadas mantienen en alerta las baterías de su escudo anti-misiles desplegadas en el norte del país y los planes de emergencia son actualizados a diario, según la información de los servicios de inteligencia y las amenazas procedentes de Damasco, Beirut y Teherán.

En una entrevista el lunes con el diario francés "Le Figaro", el presidente sirio, Bachar Al Asad, dijo que un ataque estadounidense en el polvorín de Oriente Medio, provocará una "guerra regional".

Ante este tipo de advertencias, el primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, viene insistiendo en los últimos días en que las fuerzas de seguridad de su país están preparadas para cualquier contingencia y aconseja a la población hacer vida normal.

"Los ciudadanos israelíes deben saber que nuestros enemigos tienen muy buenas razones para no probar nuestra fuerza. Ellos saben por qué", manifestó el domingo ante los ministros de su gabinete, a quienes ha instruido no referirse a la cuestión siria o ninguna decisión de Washington al respecto.

De momento y según reveló la prensa local, el presidente Obama mantiene a Netanyahu al tanto de sus decisiones, principalmente para coordinar posiciones y dar tiempo a Israel a prepararse ante una eventual intervención en el país vecino, además de evitar críticas.

La Casa Blanca también es la principal patrocinadora del actual proceso de paz que han retomado israelíes y palestinos, y que pese al ruido circundante y los múltiples obstáculos continúa entre bambalinas en la mayor de las discreciones, algo de por si inusual.

La festividad "Rosh Hashaná" se caracteriza por la degustación de alimentos dulces, siendo típico la manzana, la granada y la miel, y el sonido del "shofar", un instrumento musical hecho con el cuerno de un carnero.

Otra de las costumbre seguidas por los más devotos es acudir a fuentes de agua como mares, ríos o manantiales para leer oraciones y a donde se arrojan trozos de pan para deshacerse simbólicamente de los "pecados e inmoralidades" del año que concluye.
