Nov 4: 1-4pm - High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)
Training
USA room 104
The HOV training program has been
modified to meet State of Arizona requirements. HOVs are
defined as any full size van or Sport Utility Vehicle with
seating capacity of 8-15, and full size cargo vans. Minivans
and SUVs with seating capacity of less than 8 do NOT require
HOV driver training or certification. All HOV drivers
(faculty, staff, students, volunteers) must attend a
classroom training session, AND successfully complete a
behind-the-wheel road test conducted by RM&S or other
authorized observer. Road tests conducted by RM&S are
scheduled separately from the classroom training, and must
be done by appointment. The behind-the-wheel road test takes
about 30 minutes to complete. Departments may conduct the
behind-the-wheel road test at their own convenience with
their own staff upon prior approval and authorization by RM&S.
Those interested in conducting their own behind-the-wheel
road tests should contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu
for orientation and approval. For details on these new
requirements, and other important policy changes, see the
new UA Fleet Safety Policy. Classes are subject to
cancellation or re-scheduling based on the number of
registrations received. To register for an HOV
training session, or a behind-the-wheel road test, contact
Sara Thomas at 626-1136 or
sthomas@email.arizona.edu
or
register on-line.
For questions about the training requirement and HOV policy,

Nov 5: Noon - 1pm - UA Caregiver
Support Group
Student Union Presidio Room
UA Life & Work Connections, in
collaboration with Pima Health System Caregiver Education &
Support Program, announces the formation of a caregiver
support group meeting for a place to share our concerns and
develop new coping skills. The "open-ended" support group is
facilitated by a Master's level professional known in the
Tucson area for her expertise in caregiving, aging and
health care. Participants may attend on a regular basis or
less frequently, as needed. According to Jan Sturges,
Caregiving Coordinator at Life and Work Connections,
Networking with other caregivers is a healthy way for them
to connect with people who have similar concerns, and to
share ideas for coping with the daily issues they face.
Participating in a caregiver support group is a great way to
refocus, re-energize and rebalance." Go to
http://lifework.arizona.edu/ec/events.php

support group, or to schedule an elder care consultation,

Nov 13: 5pm - Two-Spirit Film Festival
Gallagher Theater, Student Union
Transgender Awareness Week and Native
American Heritage Month present a film festival of shorts
exploring the Two Spirit identity. Byron Chief Moon: Grey
Horse Rider melds the history and art of Chief-Moon's
Blackfoot Cree First Nations heritage with issues of
contemporary life, and makes profound statements about
identity and tradition. Two Spirit, One Journey is
about forbidden love on a reservation. Secret Weapons
is an experimental animated filmic essay that tries to work
through the emotional and political conflict that has shaped
how many queer Aboriginal artists relate to the world.
Two Spirited, by Sharon Desjarlais, is the empowering
story of Rodney Geeyo Poucette's encounter with prejudice
inside and outside the First Nations community. These
films, working in tandem, delve deeply into ideas about
gender identity, tradition, colonization, pride, prejudice,
and how these things intersect with culture. Sponsors:

Nov 19: 9-noon - High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)
Training
USA room 104
The HOV training program has been
modified to meet State of Arizona requirements. HOVs are
defined as any full size van or Sport Utility Vehicle with
seating capacity of 8-15, and full size cargo vans. Minivans
and SUVs with seating capacity of less than 8 do NOT require
HOV driver training or certification. All HOV drivers
(faculty, staff, students, volunteers) must attend a
classroom training session, AND successfully complete a
behind-the-wheel road test conducted by RM&S or other
authorized observer. Road tests conducted by RM&S are
scheduled separately from the classroom training, and must
be done by appointment. The behind-the-wheel road test takes
about 30 minutes to complete. Departments may conduct the
behind-the-wheel road test at their own convenience with
their own staff upon prior approval and authorization by RM&S.
Those interested in conducting their own behind-the-wheel
road tests should contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu
for orientation and approval. For details on these new
requirements, and other important policy changes, see the
new UA Fleet Safety Policy. Classes are subject to
cancellation or re-scheduling based on the number of
registrations received. To register for an HOV
training session, or a behind-the-wheel road test, contact

The
Farmers' Market at The University of Arizona
is moving from the Mall to East University

community loyalty to be built now that there
is more accessibility,” said Welter, who is

Thanksgiving: A Wampanoag-American Perspective
Kiva Room, Student Union
The Wampanoag "People of the Dawn" are
the Native Americans who, in the fall of 1621, engaged with
the European colonists, commonly referred to as the
"Pilgrims" at the location of present-day Plymouth,
Massachusetts. This meeting between the Wampanoag and the
colonists would frame many perceptions now associated with
the Thanksgiving holiday. This presentation will discuss not
only who the Wampanoag were, but who we ARE today, including
the efforts of many Wampanoag to re-educate Americans with
our own story of thanksgiving, genocide, cultural survival
and self-determination. Sponsors: Indigenous Thinkers,

Support Group
Student Union Copper Room
UA Life & Work Connections, in
collaboration with Pima Health System Caregiver Education &
Support Program, announces the formation of a caregiver
support group meeting for a place to share our concerns and
develop new coping skills. The "open-ended" support group is
facilitated by a Master's level professional known in the
Tucson area for her expertise in caregiving, aging and
health care. Participants may attend on a regular basis or
less frequently, as needed. According to Jan Sturges,
Caregiving Coordinator at Life and Work Connections,
Networking with other caregivers is a healthy way for them
to connect with people who have similar concerns, and to
share ideas for coping with the daily issues they face.
Participating in a caregiver support group is a great way to
refocus, re-energize and rebalance." Go to

support group, or to schedule an elder care consultation,

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
