The Newtown Gate Master Association, representing nearly 400 households and more than 800 residents, raised urgent concerns in a November 13, 2025 letter to supervisors following a sudden wave of parking tickets. The Newtown Gate HOA boards are seeking a collaborative path forward to address both the parking limitations and safety issues. They requested an immediate step to relieve the current hardship: a temporary moratorium on parking ticket enforcement along Fountain Farm Lane. They urge the Board to reconsider this option, citing the newly unified position of the three HOA boards. For longer-term, data-driven solutions, the HOA strongly urges the Board of Supervisors to commission a professional, township-funded traffic engineering study. The key objective of this study would be to determine the viability of changing the road's classification from an arterial road to a non-arterial road, which could potentially allow for parking in designated areas. The study would also assess whether additional stop signs would slow traffic and discourage cut-through driving. Finally, the HOA hopes the Township will address concerns regarding communication and transparency, specifically regarding the origin of the enforcement directive and the sharing of traffic monitoring data.

This podcast offers a detailed look into the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors meeting on November 12, 2025, through both pre-meeting notes and a transcript of the proceedings. The agenda highlights significant financial matters, including the payment of over half a million dollars in bills and the 2026 budget discussion, which features a proposed four-mill tax increase and concerns about underfunding road maintenance. A major point of contention during the meeting is the negotiation of a fire services fee for the Newtown Borough, with the board eventually voting to charge $350,000 for 2026 despite previous offers. Additionally, the documents cover the authorization of new fire and EMS tax ordinances, the adoption of the 2021 International Fire Code, and public and board discussion on issues like controversial parking enforcement on Fountain Farm Lane and concerns about development projects amid outdated zoning laws.

The source records a contentious Newtown Board of Supervisors meeting concerning a proposed fee for borough fire services. The central conflict revolves around the borough's contribution for fire protection, with many township residents, including speaker Eric Pomerantz, arguing that the suggested payment of $275,000 is unfairly low and forces the township to raise their own taxes via a millage increase. The residents and several supervisors maintain that the borough should pay at least $350,000, a figure apparently supported by a Harrisburg calculation, to ensure an equal share of the burden. Ultimately, a motion was made by Supervisor John Mack and passed by a three-to-two vote to send a letter demanding the higher $350,000 fee for the year 2026. The discussion also included strong criticism toward certain supervisors accused of advocating for the borough's interests over those of their own township constituents.

The differences between the 2026 Fire Services Agreement and the 2020 Fire Services Agreement touch upon the duration of the agreement, organizational structure, funding specifics, operational requirements, and reporting details. To summarize the operational shift: the 2026 agreement reflects a more integrated and formalized structure ("Newtown Fire Rescue") that relies heavily on a unified "Operations Manual," while eliminating specific performance metrics (like response times and specific initial funding) and detailed internal procedures found in the 2020 document, moving those details into the new manual or generalized language. It also introduces the Township's right of refusal on equipment. This agreement between Newtown Township and the volunteer Newtown Fire Association will come up for approval by the Newtown Board of Supervisors at its November 12, 2025, public meeting.

Often our organizations are structured in such a way that we have the potential for several supervisors, and their requests may differ. How might one prioritize or navigate a situation when there is more than one supervisor with a request? Today we discuss some options for how one might approach this complicated scenario. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

What happens when clients don't come back after the first or second session?For supervisors, this pattern is more than a numbers problem. It's a mirror. High early drop-off often reflects gaps in a supervisee's session structure, boundaries, or clinical stance that can (and should) be coached, not shamed. When supervision reframes “ghosting” as actionable data, associates gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools to keep clients engaged.The first trap is interrogation disguised as concern. Firing off questions (“What did you do? Why didn't they rebook?”) breeds defensiveness and shuts down learning. A better path starts person-centered: slow the pace, reflect on what you're noticing, and observe the process through short role-plays. That's where parallel process and isomorphism surface, manifesting in over-seriousness that constricts warmth, humor that avoids depth, or family-of-origin patterns that make hard moments feel unsafe. Name the pattern, then coach the skill.Sometimes the fix isn't deep. Rather, it's logistical. Clock placement, session endings, and professional presence matter more than new clinicians realize. Starting late, eating during sessions, or letting intakes feel like interrogations can push conscientious clients to quietly disengage. Supervisors can normalize structure as care: clear openings, visible time cues, and intentional closures that protect the client's hour.Evaluation turns insight into growth. Anchoring remediation in concrete assessments (e.g., SPAI for Level 1 skills, CCSR for Level 2) keeps plans specific and fair. Define target behaviors, practice them on camera or in role-play, and document small wins at each supervision. When supervisors coach like future colleagues (not bosses), associates learn to convert first sessions into second, third, and a full course of meaningful work.In this episode, you'll learn:How to replace rapid-fire questioning with person-centered supervision that reduces defensiveness.Where parallel process and isomorphism show up in early sessions—and how to coach around them.Simple environment and structure fixes (clock, openings/closures, intake framing) that improve retention.How to use SPAI/CCSR-anchored remediation so growth plans are objective, specific, and doable.Ready to turn ghosting into growth?

CUPA-HR has released the results of another Higher Education Employee Retention Survey. The 2025 results found that supervisors are facing even more stress and responsibilities.

Whether you're supervising non-managerial staff or leading a team of supervisors, this episode will show you what areas you need to assess and upgrade if you want to retain your supervisors on campus, including increasing your own job satisfaction so you want to stay.

Grandparent Alienation - Navigating Challenges with Tutors In Episode 352 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the nuances of switching supervisors, including when change is necessary and how to manage transitions ethically and professionally. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Suzanne Degges-White about the deeply emotional issue of grandparent alienation – a growing concern with long-term implications for clients and families. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken address how to navigate challenges with tutors, a topic frequently raised by students facing difficulties in training environments. Talking Honestly About Switching Supervisors [starts at 03:15 mins] This section explores when and why counsellors might consider switching supervisors and how to approach this decision ethically and with confidence. Key points discussed include: Changing supervisors is a natural part of a counsellor's development and not a sign of failure or disloyalty. Repetition without growth, lack of freshness, or misalignment in specialisms can indicate it's time for a change. A managed ending ensures continuity of supervision and safeguards ethical standards. Discussing the transition with your current supervisor can lead to supportive and mutual decisions. Paul Cullen, Counselling Tutor's supervision correspondent, shares insights on how supervisors and supervisees can navigate this change with openness and courage. Reflective questions can help assess supervision fit, such as: Is this relationship still supporting my professional growth? Grandparent Alienation [starts at 36:04 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Suzanne Degges-White, who shares her research and clinical insights into grandparent alienation – when grandparents are cut off from contact with their grandchildren. Key points from this conversation include: Grandparent alienation often arises from fractured relationships between adult children and their parents. Political differences, perceived abuse, and societal changes are common triggers. The loss experienced is often ambiguous, ongoing, and filled with grief and shame. Children also suffer developmental and emotional consequences when denied access to grandparents. Therapists can support clients by validating loss, helping reconstruct identity, and working with meaning-making and boundaries. Intergenerational healing is possible through empathy, family therapy, and creating new ways to maintain symbolic connections.

Supervision can be lonely. While supervisors carry the weight of risk, mentorship, and leadership, they're often doing it alone—without guidance, reflection, or community.In this solo episode, Dr. Amy Parks invites us into a new conversation: What if supervisors had the same kind of support we expect them to give? She shares insights from her upcoming course Supervision of Supervision, highlighting how we can build capacity, confidence, and clinical courage—together.You'll also get a preview of what's coming from the Clinical Supervision Directory, including peer consultation pods, downloadable tools, and a growing community of supervisors who are done flying solo.

When supervision goes sideways, what's a pre-licensed therapist to do? In this candid conversation, Dr. Kate Walker and Jennifer Marie Fairchild pull back the curtain on one of the most anxiety-producing challenges facing associates and interns—addressing problematic supervision.Many therapists-in-training find themselves frozen when faced with supervision red flags, trapped between speaking up and risking their relationship with someone who holds power over their career. This episode offers practical, actionable strategies for having these difficult conversations with confidence and professionalism.We tackle the supervision power dynamic head-on, reminding associates that while these strategies empower you to advocate for yourself, the ultimate responsibility for a healthy supervision relationship lies with the supervisor.

Jewish Voice for Peace, alongside coalition partners, is calling on Alameda County to ensure  tax dollars aren't  invested in entities complicit in human rights abuses — including Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. This past May, the County's Treasury Oversight Committee took a key step by passing an ethical investment policy that bans taxpayer money from going to corporations and institutions that enable such atrocities. Now, the final decision rests with the Board of Supervisors, who must vote to approve the policy. On today's episode, we speak with Cynthia Kaufman, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace. Show your support for the Ethical Investment Policy, which will be up for a vote on October 3 https://actionnetwork.org/letters/let-alameda-county-supervisors-know-you-support-an-ethical-investment-policy   — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Alameda County's Ethical Investment Policy w/ Cynthia Kaufman from Jewish Voice for Peace appeared first on KPFA.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. The episode focuses on working with the negative view of self in Stage Two of EFT therapy, exploring the deep, vulnerable process of helping clients confront and share their most painful self-perceptions. Main Points: 1. Negative View of Self Characteristics: - Goes beyond just emotions - Represents core identity messages - Often rooted in past traumas and attachment injuries - Involves believing fundamental negative things about oneself 2. Stage Two Therapeutic Approach: - Linger and excavate the deepest negative self-messages - Use enactments to reveal core identity beliefs - Help clients share their most vulnerable self-perceptions - Create opportunities for partner acceptance 3. Key Therapeutic Strategies: - Slow, careful exploration of negative self-view - Validate and reflect deeply - Allow partners to provide compassionate, attuned responses - Avoid rushing or trying to immediately "fix" negative beliefs 4. Goals: - Help clients reveal their most painful self-perceptions - Create space for partner acceptance - Gradually restructure negative self-beliefs - Support healing from past relational wounds The episode emphasizes that working with a negative view of self is a profound, delicate process requiring patience, depth, and compassionate therapeutic skill.
