The Contemplation Ed program we have started at TAS is now underway. We have a weekend retreat scheduled for the October 2-4 in Pine Hill, NY. On the agenda are some lovely mountain hikes, a few instructional meditations, a visit to the source of the Delaware River, and morning services at the Zen Mountain Monastery.
The Arts program is now in readable form. Though far from complete, we are able to say that the program seems adequate to our goals of developing basic skills and historical context in the visual arts.
We have welcomed a couple of new students in the last week.

Drug Free School Zone News
Omaha, NE - Three Millard North High School students get busted for bringing drugs to school. The school resource officer discovered the drugs Friday.
Two students had marijuana, one had drug paraphernalia and two prescription drugs, Adderall and Seroquel, both are considered controlled substances.
When prescribed by doctors, Adderall is often used to treat ADHD, Seroquel is used to treat psychotic disorders like bipolar disease.
All three students are 17 years old. Two were sent to the youth center. The third was ticketed.
Ho hum...high school students busted for drug possession in a high school. Wait! Seroquel? An anti-psychotic with the usually horrible side effects for many, that earned its maker 4,700,000,000 in sales (yes, that's billion), and is used these days for the highly over-diagnosed bi-polar disorder, is now a street drug.
Like I said, "ho hum".
