ROXBURY, Conn. (WTNH) -- A seven foot angel statue now stands near Roxbury Town Hall. It's a "freedom angel," keeping watch over veterans.
"I invented the Freedom Angel as a new national symbol," said Sterett-Gittings Kelsey, Freedom Angel Founder. "And the reason behind that is not because we need another new monument, we don't. But what we need is a way to reach the rest of America."
The creator hopes to reach Americans by one day making angel pins and other memorabilia. The proceeds will benefit veterans organizations.
If you're a hospital and you want to do research on PTSD or whatever, we can fund that," Kelsey said. "If Wounded Warriors say we need more help, we can do that."
The Freedom Angel Foundation is new, unveiling a 3,000 lb. statue Wednesday.
"She's beautiful, just gorgeous," said visitor Linda Chapman. "For people who have family that are in the service. It's just so so important that we have something that we can look up."
The angel will be in the town of Roxbury for six months, the plan after that is to take her touring across the country.
"She will be the most recognized symbol in the country and everybody will know what she stands for," said Kelsey.
The spirit of freedom for the men and women who fight to protect it.

Dulles, VA (PRWEB) November 07, 2013
Freedom Alliance, an educational and charitable organization that supports military personnel and their families, has awarded college scholarships to 270 children of military heroes in 2013. The scholarships total $1.3 million and were awarded to students whose parent is a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine who was killed or permanently disabled in a combat mission or training accident.
"These scholarships are made available," explained Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon, "because these students have a parent who sacrificed life or limb defending our country. Both the parents and the students have made tremendous sacrifices for our country which we hope to recognize and honor with these scholarships."
In total, Freedom Alliance has now awarded more than $7 million in scholarship assistance to students to help them finance their college educations.
"This Scholarship Fund," Kilgannon said, "is a living memorial to military heroes. Each scholarship is a practical act of support for a family that has made incredible contributions to our country. Each scholarship is also recognition for a patriots sacrifice and a reminder to his or her child that the sacrifice of their parent will never be forgotten by a grateful nation."
Among the scholarship recipients are students whose parent served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Persian Gulf War, the 1983 terrorist attack on the Marine Barracks in Beirut, the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993, and other military campaigns in defense of our country.
Kalie Walters is one of Freedom Alliances scholarship recipients. She recently graduated from the University of West Florida, and is currently serving an internship with the organization. Walters father, Tech. Sgt. Howard Walters, died in a helicopter crash in November of 2003 in Afghanistan. He was assigned to the 20th Special Operations Squadron in Hurlburt Field, Florida. Walters was 13 years old at the time of her fathers death.
The Scholarship Fund is one of several programs sponsored by Freedom Alliance in support of those who serve our country. To be eligible for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship, students must have a parent that has become 100 percent disabled or deceased due to an operational mission or training accident, and under the age of 26.
Students who may qualify for the Freedom Alliance scholarship can visit our website at http://www.fascholarship.com or the organizations main website at http://www.freedomalliance.org.

Freedom Alliance Provides College Scholarships to 270 Children of Military Heroes
FREEDOM A year ago when Freedom was marching through the playoffs it surprised many being a No. 8 seed and not having a track record of winning in the postseason.
This year, the Irish is seeded No. 2 and is just where everybody expected it to be Level 3.
No surprises this year but the Irish do want to at least match its accomplishment last season when it reached Level 4. To do that, Freedom, which has outscored its first two playoff opponents by a combined score of 63-8, has to win at No. 1 Roncalli in the GameTime Game of the Week.
"We're playing good right now, everything's clicking, we're peaking at the right time, senior defensive end/tight end Mason Sturm said. Our coach always says just a steady incline all season and we're peaking perfect.
Like last season, Freedom (8-3) is finding success in the playoffs with its running game. Last year, Nathan Peters did it on his own, leading the state with 2,249 rushing yards.
This season, Peters battled an ankle injury and has had help. Peters has 1,185 yards and 20 TDs, while Isaac Gonnering has added 511 yards and 11 TDs.
We have two backs, theyre battling between each other for carries, coach Clint Kriewaldt said. Each one wants more of the carries. Its fun to see these guys duke it out and fight for the carries. Theyve both been running pretty hard for us.
And they will need to Friday, as Freedom will be on the road for the second week in a row after winning last week at Campbellsport 30-8. Notwithstanding, Freedom almost embraces road games.
"If you look at all our losses the last two years, every one is on this field here, Kriewaldt said. I don't know what it is, but for whatever reason it seems we come together more on that bus ride there.
I think we get the kids away from, whether it be their girlfriends, just get them out of their house and get focused on football right away. So going on the road isn't a big deal. It should be a pretty fun atmosphere to play in Friday night."

Internet Freedom Monitoring in New Zealand
Summary
We conclude that of the 29 Internet Freedom indicators in the La Rue Framework New Zealand: 14/29 compliant including: basic legal framework; no generic bans / restriction on political content; high levels of access , no State sponsored cyber attacks and strong privacy laws 4/29 non-compliant: child sexual abuse images filter has no legal basis; protection of journalists and bloggers is weak; access to legal information needs improving; and the private sector is not transparent on content removal; 11/29 unclear: these include access issues for marginalised and vulnerable groups and proposed laws on national security and counter-terrorism (which were not developed at the time this research was completed, but have since become law).
Where we are doing well New Zealanders are generally free to express themselves online There is no criminal defamation New Zealands legal structure applies to and supports freedom of expression on the Internet Content blocking for solely political reasons does not occur and policies for operation of .nz adhere to rule of law in relation to takedown of online content. Government actions generally adhere to the rule of law and due process but there are significant exceptions which raise serious concerns The local Internet community is active in promoting human rights in Internet policy Internet access rates are high, there is diverse content and infrastructure development and improvements
Where we need to do better: There is a high degree of soft censorship and an apparent acceptance of this by many internet users. This is a concern given lack of transparency and few opportunities for input into filtering and content blocking policies of Internet service providers. Overall, Internet freedom related public policy is fragmented and contradictory: for example, on the one hand the law on Internet intermediary liability and the lawful basis for filtering of child sexual abuse images are unclear and have not been tested in the Courts. On the other hand there is increasing specificity and control over regulation for some online content and proposed new laws for online communications will set a lower legal standard for removal of online content than would be possible for offline content. Privacy laws are strong, but there are increasing concerns about privacy breaches by government agencies and the need to protect whistleblowers. The private sector is doing poorly in transparency reporting and is not generally engaged in Internet freedom debates. New Zealanders have access to some legal information for free, but access is poor for those who cannot afford premium fee-paying services and for access to secondary legal information, including case law.

Even Granny Herald has come to love Kiwibank. To the point where in May 2010, it was saying in an editorial that Kiwibank had been such a success, it should be semi-privatised! ...
So, riddle me this. Since Kiwibank has been such an acknowledged success, why on earth has Granny Herald been editorialising so strongly this week against the Labour Partys announcement of a Kiwi owned and operated insurance company, along Kiwibank lines?

The free service may stop or change significantly without enough financial assistance
By Sarah Fleischman
sfleischman@eveningsun.com @sefleischman on Twitter
Without enough financial support, Freedom Transit may permanently discontinue or significantly change its service.
Four municipalities and the Adams County commissioners were asked to provide funding to help keep Freedom Transit from reducing its service or ceasing it entirely, but none have made any commitments, said Richard Farr, executive director of the York Adams Transportation Authority.
The free system, which provided more than 149,000 trips in 2013 and grew 76 percent between 2012 and 2013, started in 2009 as a three-year demonstration project, according to a news release.
Now the demonstration period has ended, the authority no longer receives 100 percent of its funding from the federal government through a U.S. Department of Transportation grant, Farr said.
The annual operating cost of Freedom Transit is more than $900,000, he said.
The authority needs $65,264 in local funds to access more than $900,000 in state and federal funds, according to a news release.
Farr said the authority wrote letters to Cumberland Township, Straban Township, Gettysburg Borough and Mount Joy Township in May asking the municipalities to help supply the needed funds.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
The Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) honored Freedom High School of Freedom, Wisconsin last night at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas with a $10,000 classroom makeover grant furnished by a donation from CCC Information Services. The Freedom High School Automotive Repair Program is a nationally recognized program, educating and preparing students for a career in collision repair for more than 40 years. CCC Information Services is a leading provider of software and services to the automotive claims and collision repair industries and a longtime supporter of CREF.
The tools, technology and information needed to complete quality repairs have changed a lot since I was a student in this very program more than 10 years ago, said Jay Abitz, Instructor, Freedom High School Automotive Repair Program. CCC has been kind enough to donate estimating software to our program for many years, but the classroom makeover grant was something I never expected. It has allowed us to buy educational DVDs, equipment and most importantly a tablet device, which means we can work with the latest technology and keep our students on the front edge of innovation. We appreciate what CREF and CCC has done to support our program.
CCC is one of only five industry organizations that have donated over $1 million to the Collision Repair Education Foundation in the charitable organizations lifetime, said Brandon Eckenrode, Director of Development, CREF. We would like to thank CCC for helping to provide Freedom High School with the classroom tools and equipment needed to provide an updated technical education to their collision students.
CCC is proud to support collision repair education programs like the one Mr. Abitz and Freedom High School have established, said Joseph Allen, General Manager of CCCs Automotive Services Group. Its critical that schools keep pace with technology advances so that their students are best equipped to enter the industry. The Collision Repair Education Foundations Classroom Makeover program is a great way for CCC to help schools stay ahead of the information and technology they need to prepare the next generation of collision repair professionals.
To learn more about the great work taking place through the Freedom High School Automotive Repair Program, read an interview with instructor Jay Abitz: http://ccc.cccis.com/pages/news_detail/352.php?article_id=201. To learn more about CCC, please visit: http://www.ccc-one.com.

It is the goal of the automotive program to expose students to a variety of hands on experiences to prepare them for a career in the automotive industry or personal vehicle maintenance and repair. Students use a variety of current industry standard repair techniques, tools, and materials to complete repairs on vehicles.
