To: The Editor:

In an article in another Rochester newspaper, the Democrat and Chronicle on December 6th, 2003, there was a featured story on an organization known as The International College of Homeland Security.(ICHS). I am a reporter and did a story with the Director of that organization (as I do with many other credible educational facilities.) I was looking for work and gave them a bio- which they used before I was hired. I subsequently declined to be hired due to skeptical reasons. In that column, it stated that I was an instructor with ICHS. Please note that I have no affiliation with ICHS, no contact,am not an employee, have never signed any documents relating to hiring , am not a board member, have never been in a decision position with ICHS, and know nothing about its course contents. This is fact.

Please print this on the web-site addition and newsletter.

Hobbies and mediocrity: you don’t have to be good at everything

Writing became something I had to be good at in order to share.

Conversations can’t happen in empty rooms. Join us.

It can be uncomfortable and deeply frustrating to hear people say things about these sensitive topics that feel inaccurate, unacceptable, and sometimes hurtful.

Whatever happened to the dormitories of yesteryear?

Two images come to mind: One is of cinder block-walled rooms hidden behind brutalist edifices, and the other is of air-conditioned suites bathed in natural light.
