AND CALCIUM CHALLENGE
AT BATTERY PARK, NEW YORK, NY

WHAT: The Big Bones Bash/Calcium Challenge is a free and fun educational competition designed to inspire teens to use their own best talents to persuade their peers and adults about calcium intake and why it matters. Prior winning projects include ideas from cooking demonstrations, to designing a board game, sculpting, producing infomercials and even creating a bone phone!

Finalists will present their projects at New York’s Battery Park on Saturday, August 7. $5,500 in cash prizes will be awarded to the sponsoring school or organization of the top 17 exhibitors.

The deadline to enter Cabot’s Big Bones Bash/Calcium Challenge is Friday, July 16, 2010.

The event will showcase a team of judges that include: Olympic Soccer Champion and ESPN Analyst Julie Foudy, Bruno Frohlich, forensic scientist from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and healthcare professionals.

Who says you can’t teach an old dad new twists? All across the nation this Father’s Day weekend, people are telling their fathers, grandfathers, and other special men in their lives about a new “twist” in the law that may help them qualify for extra help paying for costs associated with their prescription drugs.

When you’re spending time with Dad this weekend, ask him if he can use some help paying for his prescription drugs. If so, tell him about the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan and the extra help available through Social Security.

If Dad is covered by Medicare and has limited income and resources, he might be eligible for extra help to pay for his monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. The extra help is worth an average of $3,900 per year.

If you’re met with a resistant, “No, I’ve looked into it before and I don’t qualify,” then let him know the law changed in January 2010. As volunteer spokesman Chubby Checker will tell you, a new “twist” in the law makes it easier than ever to qualify for the extra help.

Thanks to this new “twist” in the law, we no longer count any life insurance policy he has as a resource, and we no longer count as income any financial assistance he receives regularly from someone else to pay his household expenses like food, mortgage or rent, utilities or property taxes.

Don’t take our word for it, see Chubby Checker’s rocking message at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp.

NEW SAVAGE SHOW

“He was powerless to save her.”

NUMBERS, a New Drama by Scarlett Ridgway Savage, directed by Richard Rose, will open Nov 11 at the Dionysus Theater’s L’il Peach, 270 West 36th (at 8th Ave.), NYC.

NUMBERS is a haunting new drama based on real-life events exploring the emotional turmoil of rape through the eyes of a victim’s loving brother. Journalism student Alex tries to make sense of the jumbled memories of events that caused his life to spiral unrecognizably out of control. Through his attempts to recollect, he takes the audience on an agonizing and astonishing journey — watching his little sister survive the most heinous event a woman can face. This is a Work-in-Progress (Staged Reading) of a vital new play for imminent full Off-Broadway production!

Scarlett Ridgway Savage is a multi-award-winning playwright, author, and journalist. Her play DEAR DADDY LOVE CASSIE has raised tens of thousands of dollars for sexual assault support services around New England. Author Stephen King described her as “a gifted young writer and a talent to watch for in the future.” Author Michael Kimball writes “Scarlett Savage is such a fine writer, you might think she was genetically designed for the work. The way she disappears inside her characters and kick-starts their hearts, then sets them wandering together in all their flawed glory for better or worse – you might think she’s been doing this all her life.”.

Richard M. Rose is a director, producer, actor, designer and teacher. His credits include New Jersey Shakespeare Festival, Playwrights’ Theater of New Jersey, Theater Breaking Through Barriers, Theater of Necessity, Theater for a New Audience, St. Clements, Ensemble Studio Theater, BAM, Tiny Mythic @ HERE, Xena Group, TimsLoft, Powerhouse Theatre, One Dream Theatre, and Grandfather Films. Richard is the founder and Artistic Director of Loud Acting School Productions and Shakespeare-on-the-Spot.
