2008 USPTA Member of the Year: Tom Sweitzer
In the 33 years Tom Sweitzer has been a full-time teaching pro, he has just about seen it all — from pros who are bored and show it, to overly technical instructors who won't let players hit two shots in a row without correcting their strokes.
A successful junior and college player despite never having taken a lesson himself, the Hershey, Pa., native has dedicated his career to sharing his love of the game with others. And for 2008, Sweitzer is RSI's USPTA Member of the Year.
"Tom Sweitzer has shown his continued commitment and dedication to the USPTA and the sport of tennis," says USPTA CEO Tim Heckler. "It is evident from his success in so many facets of tennis, including as a teaching professional and through contributions to the community, education and publications."
Now a USPTA master pro, Sweitzer teaches his players the strokes and strategies he has honed since those days. He is just as committed to his fellow USPTA members, speaking at numerous national and sectional conventions and writing more than 30 articles. He's a USTA Middle States Hall of Famer, former USPTA Middle States Division president, past USTA and USPTA Middle States pro of the year, and past recipient of Pennsylvania's Outstanding Community Service citation for helping to raise $8 million for local health care facilities through charity tennis events.
Sweitzer has taught more than 50,000 hours of tennis lessons, with more than 200 of his former students involved in teaching or coaching tennis, and has directed over 250 USTA tournaments.
"I could probably make more money doing something else," Sweitzer says, "but the biggest paycheck for me is seeing my students do well and families come together through tennis."
- Get involved. Attending the USPTA national convention is a great first step for members, and all 17 divisions offer regular meetings and educational opportunities.
- It's a big world out there. Visit and experience the good and the bad of other clubs. You may gain valuable networking opportunities, or learn something new which may benefit your own players and club.
- You are your own business. Your business doesn't have to stop when you step off the court. Promote and market your skills.

Cassie M. Seinuk (MFA '13) wins second place for Latino Playwriting in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival
Thursday, April 17, 2014
"From The Deep" received second place in the festival's Award for Latino Playwriting, in addition to other recent recognition. Seinuk graduated from Lesley University in 2013 with a master of fine arts degree in creative writing, and the play explores what people do to survive in captivity.
"Cassie is an exceptionally strong dramatist who isn't afraid to tackle big issues in her plays," applauds Jami Brandli, a Stage and Screen faculty member in Lesley's MFA in Creative Writing low-residency program. "'From the Deep' is one of those plays that has complex characters, it's highly theatrical and it's emotionally honest."
Seinuk is Cuban and Jewish, and grew up as a first-generation American in North Woodmere, NY.
"I've been a storyteller for as long as I can remember, and spent my childhood doing theater and writing fiction," says Seinuk. "When I took my first playwriting class, I found that I was able to bring my two passions together and create evocative theatrical and personal moments in a live medium."
Seinuk travels to Washington this month where there will be a reading of an excerpt from "From The Deep". Along with the second place Latino Playwriting Award, Seinuk receives a $500 prize.
"From The Deep" tells the story of Andrew, a missing Boston University graduate student, who arrives in the surreal Land of the Missing and meets Ilan, an Israeli prisoner of war. Ilan must convince Andrew to play games, keep his mind active, and face the truth of his captivity before they both go missing forever.
In addition to the Kennedy Center honors, "From The Deep" won the 2014 Firehouse Center for the Arts Pestalozzi New Play Prize, and is a semi-finalist at nuVoices Festival at Actors' Theatre of Charlotte in North Carolina.
"My heart was tugged by the story of Israeli POW Gilad Shalit and his five years in captivity, and I wanted to understand how someone could mentally survive that," says Seinuk, who lives in Somerville, Mass. "Then, after hearing more stories of young, successful, seemingly happy students disappearing, my need to know what happens to these people lead me to imagine a world where a prisoner of war and a missing student from opposite sides of the planet could come together and fight to survive."
Seinuk graduated from Brandeis University in 2009 with a bachelor of arts in creative writing and theater arts. She is the co-founder and president of Interim Writers, a Boston-based playwrights collective that is focused on new play development, and she is "Playwright #2" at Boston Public Works, a new theater company in Boston. She is also an Actors Equity Association stage manager and freelances with many of the top theater companies in Greater Boston including the American Repertory Theater, Actors' Shakespeare Project and Boston Playwrights' Theatre. Learn more about her work at www.cassiemseinuk.com.
"I couldn't be more proud of her achievement," notes Brandli, "and I'm looking forward to hearing about her future productions."

G'Vine Nouaison
A French Gin? Absolutely! The distillery was so excited about crafting the juniper-based spirit that it made two versions, the G'Vine Nouaison and the G'Vine Floraison. The Nouaison version offers a more historically accurate nose than the more floral Floraison, with botanicals such as cassia bark, ginger root, lime peel, coriander, grape flower and licorice all melding into a robust introduction. You then get aromas of mint, almond and menthol. This grape-based gin is distilled five times, retaining a rich palate and a bouquet of floral, citrus and spice — with the lead being taken by cinnamon. Finishing with a woody herbaceousness balanced by touches of citrus and floral, G'Vine Nouaison is divine and unique.
Check out the official website to learn more about this rare Cognac-made gin
Origin: France; $35

Expression & AssemblyStatement A Symbol of Peace Turned Inside Out: Two Students Entrapped
August 19, 2013
The Cambodian Community Legal Education Center (CLEC) and Cambodian League for the Promotion & Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) call on the authorities to drop all charges against students Tut Chanpanha and Sok Dalis. We similarly call for charges against small shop owner Lim Lypaeung and Hiv Borin to be dropped.
August 7, 2013
We, the undersigned civil society groups, urge Metfone, an Internet service provider (ISP) registered and operating in Cambodia, to issue a full explanation of today's temporary blocking of Facebook, as well as the ongoing unavailability of the Ki-Media website.
Earlier this morning, at about 9 AM, Metfone users began to report that they were denied access to Facebook. The outage lasted for more than three hours.
July 7, 2013
We, the staff and members of the civil society groups listed, and our partners, families and friends, who are registered voters throughout Cambodia, will only consider voting for members of parliament of all political parties that keep the media free at all times.
July 1, 2013
We, the undersigned civil society organizations, welcome the government's decision to rescind shocking measures issued last week to censor Cambodia's local news media in the final weeks before the July 28 National Assembly elections, and condemn the decision ever to implement such measures. We remain deeply concerned about an order to ban foreign news reporting of election polling which will come into force five days before the vote.
We condemn this ban in the strongest possible terms and urge the government to remove all restrictions on the news media during this critical pre-election period. We also call for the government to guarantee that it will not repeat its attempts to censor the airwaves or any other media, including social media on the internet.
June 25, 2013
Cambodian Community Legal Education Center (CLEC) and Cambodian League for the Promotion & Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) welcome the conviction of former Bavet governor Chhouk Bandith for shooting three garment workers last year, but condemn the light sentence – one-and-a-half years in prison – for actions that amounted an attempted triple-homicide.
The sentence is little more than a slap on the wrist, and is emblematic of Cambodia's pervasive culture of impunity for the well-connected elite.
May 30, 2013
This morning near Phnom Penh city hall, authorities called in three fire trucks, which used high-pressure water from their hoses to disperse peaceful protesters from the Boeung Kak, Borei Keila and airport communities. Firefighters also targeted some community members who came to rescue colleagues who had fallen down due to the impact of the water. This video was taken at the scene.
May 1, 2013
On May 1, 2013, between 6,000 and 7,000 garment workers, union leaders, local communities, motodops, students, NGOs and others gathered in Phnom Penh to mark International Labor Day. The group marched from Freedom Park to the National Assembly in Phnom Penh, calling for living wages, improved working conditions and for justice in the Born Samnang/Sok Sam Oeun and Chhouk Bandith cases. This album contains a selection of photos from the march.
March 14, 2013
We, the undersigned civil society groups, welcome the Court of Appeal's long-overdue decision today to release independent radio station owner Mam Sonando and his two co-appellants, Touch Ream and Kan Sovann, but caution that a long road remains to rehabilitate Cambodia's democracy ahead of National Assembly elections in July.
March 13, 2013
On the morning of March 13, 2013, a group of military police and police officers, accompanied by district security guards, stormed a peaceful protest by the Boeung Kak Lake community. In what turned out to be the most violent crackdown against this community, five citizens were left injured, including broken teeths and bones.
March 13, 2013
Authorities' escalated their ongoing crackdown on the Boeung Kak Lake community today, as police launched a brutal attack on demonstrators who had gathered in a public park outside the Prime Minister's house.
Three people were detained and five were seriously injured, including Lous Sokorn, the husband of imprisoned Boeung Kak rights activist Yorm Bopha. The demonstrators were calling for the release of Bopha, who has been designated a Prisoner of Conscience by Amnesty International.
February 18, 2013
The human rights situation in Cambodia began 2012 teetering on the edge of a precipice, and by the end of the year had fallen off the cliff, according to a new report from LICADHO.
The past year was the most violent year ever documented in terms of the authorities using lethal force against activists, according to the report, "Human Rights 2012: The Year in Review." The year also saw four deaths related to conflicts over natural resources, a growing atmosphere of fear and intimidation and the mass arrests of activists.
February 13, 2013
As the frequency of land grabs has grown, so has the sense of desperation for Cambodians faced with eviction. The perpetrators of land grabs – from business leaders to police to hired hands who carry out actual evictions – operate with near complete impunity. Recourse to the notoriously corrupt judiciary is not an option. For the average Cambodian, the only avenue that offers the prospect of success is civil disobedience, namely public protest and individual action.
The government has become increasingly aggressive in attempting to shut down this avenue as well, despite the fact the vast majority of citizen protests documented by LICADHO during 2012 have been peaceful. Violence is often the government's tactic of choice.
December 27, 2012
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court convicted Yorm Bopha on a trumped up charge and sentenced her to three years' imprisonment. The charges against her and three other defendants were purportedly in connection with the beating of a suspected thief, but the real case against her is crystal clear – she, and the rest of the Boeung Kak community land activists are thorns in the side of the authorities, and they need to be silenced.
December 19, 2012
From December 8th to December 17th, more than 42,000 Cambodians across the country celebrated "International Human Rights Day". Events were held to highlight land, labor, and human rights with the unifying slogan "We All Need Justice & Freedom!". The final event took place in Phnom Penh the morning of December 17th, when organizers & volunteers danced to a land-rights themed rendition of "Gangnam-style" in front of the National Assembly wearing t shirts which had been endorsed by over 11, 000 Cambodians. Participants also presented over 40,000 signatures calling for an end to evictions in Cambodia coordinated by Amnesty International volunteers living in France, Germany, New Zealand & South Korea.
December 13, 2012
The government has issued a new circular ordering the closure of all Internet cafes within a 500 meter radius of schools and educational institutions – an order that, if implemented, would amount to a near-complete ban on such businesses in central Phnom Penh.
The circular, issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on November 12, 2012, also provides for further restrictions not limited by this school buffer zone. All Internet cafes are also required to forbid playing "all kinds of games," essentially equating such activity with viewing pornography or committing crimes
