This Week in DPPA: 9

On 15 December, the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) organized a workshop to identify ways to help Libyan political leaders find a path towards elections and end the current political stalemate. A group of young women and men took part and presented their suggestions to Special Representative of the Secretary General Abdoulaye Bathily. “For a peaceful, inclusive and democratic country we need to bring the five major stakeholders together to find a compromise and restore the electoral process,” he said, adding that this would open a new door for Libya, its youth, and its future.

Monroe’s ‘Umpire in Chief’ goes above and beyond for adult softball

Glenn Laudenslager III, who has been the coordinator for the Monroe Men’s 35 and over softball league for the past 10 years, has been umpiring and scheduling umpires for adult softball games for the Monroe Parks and Recreation Department for a total of 32 years.

His dedication to the sport has not gone unnoticed. Laudenslager won the Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award at the Connecticut Recreation and Parks Association’s 63rd Annual Conference, held at the Mohegan Sun Convention Center on Nov. 20 and 21.

Missy Orosz, director of the Monroe Parks and Recreation Department, nominated Laudenslager for the honor.

“Glenn has a gentle soul and loves softball so much,” she wrote in her nomination letter to the CRPA Awards Committee. “He is there for our Friday night program every week keeping an eye on all the games, as well as the 146 players, countless fans and coordinating the umpires. At times he can be seen umpiring if necessary and handling any situation that can arise.”

Laudenslager also schedules umpires for other surrounding communities such as Trumbull and Shelton, according to Orosz.

“What makes Glenn so unique is that back in the Spring of 2019 he suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed on one side,” Orosz said. “He didn’t let that stop him, even though he had to miss the rest of that season. He worked so hard from the hospital, answering calls, doing emails, scheduling games, which forced him in therapy to go the extra mile to work harder.”

Two Mohegan Residents Face Federal Charges in Separate Cases

Two Mohegan Lake residents have been charged in separate cases by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

U.S. Attorney Damien Williams announced last week that Gina Mestre, 33, a former New York City police officer, pleaded guilty in connection with her involvement in obstructing a federal investigation into the Shooting Boys gang and serving as an accessory to a murder committed by the gang’s leader.

Mestre could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of accessory after the fact to murder in aid of racketeering.

“As she has now admitted, Gina Mestre, a former NYPD Officer, abused her position of public trust and betrayed the oath she took to protect and serve the citizens of New York City by helping a gang member evade capture for a murder of a rival gang member that he committed in broad daylight,” Williams said in a statement.

“When law enforcement officers break the laws they are sworn to uphold, they do a disservice to their fellow officers, to the departments that employ them and to the public they serve.”

As alleged in the indictment, Mestre, a police officer from July 2013 to May 2022, was assigned to the 52nd Precinct’s Public Safety Unit. In the summer of 2020, a major focus of the precinct and the Public Safety Unit was the reduction of gun violence, much of which was committed by members of the Shooting Boys gang.

The Shooting Boys gang is a criminal organization based in the University Heights section of the Bronx. The gang’s territory and base of operations fell within the jurisdiction of the NYPD’s 52nd Precinct. The leader of the Shooting Boys was Andrew Done, a/k/a “Caballo.”

In June 2020, Mestre began communicating with Done through secret social…

The Euro roots of a US holiday

People who have visited Greece or Cyprus may remember that the Greek word for “thank you” is euxaristó, pronounced “efharistó”. This is actually a verb-form meaning “I thank [you]”, so if several people are expressing gratitude, you should say euxaristoume “we thank [you]”.

Those readers who go to church may recognise that the Greek word for “thank you” is the source of the English word Eucharist, which is often used as a synonym for the Christian service of Holy Communion, although its basic meaning is in fact “thanksgiving”.

This is not to be confused with the American Thanksgiving celebration, of course, which was celebrated last month. Since 1941 it has always been celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November – in Canada it occurs on the second Monday of October. Historically, it is not totally unrelated to the Eucharist because thanks are involved, but it is now a predominantly secular occasion which is celebrated by Americans of all ethnicities, and of all religions and none.

It began in the USA as a kind of autumn harvest festival, a day of giving thanks for that year’s produce. It is widely believed by Americans that their modern festival is a tradition descending from the 1621 harvest supper shared between the Pilgrim Fathers and the indigenous Algonquian-speaking Wampanoag people, who subsequently came close to extinction as a result of imported European diseases, and of being sold into slavery elsewhere in New England as well as in the Caribbean, by the English-speaking settlers.

The Wampanoag language is a dialect of Massachusett, a Southern New England Algonquian language, which tragically lost its last native speakers more than a century ago. These people do not have a great deal to be thankful for.

At Thanksgiving, Americans typically eat native produce – turkey, potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin…
