A lawmaker has proposed covering government structures and buildings in beige paint instead of yellow, orange or other colors that might be identified with a particular government officials political party affiliation.
Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo has filed House Bill 5314 requiring the establishment of a uniform Government Building Paint Color Scheme under which the performance standards for coatings are set, tested and approved.
Under the measure, no plan of work for the protective coating and color of any government structure or building shall be undertaken without going through the Government Building Paint Color Scheme and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) accrediting the contractors.
The accreditation of contractors is necessary to ensure that product standards, competency and coating requirements for government structures and buildings are consistent with the light brown standard mandated by the measure.
Castelo, chair of the House committee on Metro Manila development, said he was prompted to file the bill because of the supposed practice of several elected public officials of painting government structures and buildings with colors identifiable with them.
According to Castelo, the politicians' use of specific colors is done with the clear intent to associate the construction of such building or structure to them at full cost on the part of the government.
The lawmaker believes beige should be adopted as the official color for government structures and buildings because it is neutral and indistinct. Xianne Arcangel/BM, GMA News

Dittmer, Mo.
A quiet street and a quaint three-bedroom home drew Mike Stenzhorn and his family to Dittmer 15 years ago. He and his two children loved the neighborhood in the small community 40 miles southwest of St. Louis.
They didn't put much thought to the Roman Catholic facility across the street -- a small complex of buildings called the Vianney Renewal Center.
Stenzhorn knew the center had something to do with helping struggling priests. In any case, it seemed harmless, and the neighborhood was nice.
"If you had to live somewhere in the Midwest, and you wanted quiet, this is the place," Stenzhorn, 62, said.
But in the years that would follow, the full truth about the Vianney Renewal Center would come to light.
The facility, operated by a Roman Catholic order called the Servants of the Paraclete, cares for religious men who suffer from a variety of illnesses, including alcoholism and depression. The center also treats sexually abusive priests.
The Servants of the Paraclete would not specify how many such priests live at the center today. The Missouri State Highway Patrol's sex offender registry lists five who are convicted and who stay at the complex under court order. Other priests are sent to the center by various dioceses from around the country.
"They're putting guys there when they don't know what else to do with them," said Barbara Dorris of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
'It's like they were hiding something'

Welcome to our blog about the process and proposals for the new LARP building! With so much going on and the process moving so quickly, we wanted a way to keep our faithful alumni and future students updated on what is going on. Well post on this blog when we reach big milestones, so keep watching this space!
Its hard to overestimate what having a new building will mean for LARP. Many of you know that Hills was originally built as a dormitory, and was repurposed for academic life. Its had a good run and weve all built great memories here, but everyone who visits knows we obviously need an upgrade. This has become even more pressing in recent years, as mold issues mean that not all of the faculty can even enter the building. Because of our outstanding faculty we have been quite successful over the years despite Hills. Weve always liked to think that the best programs are often in the worst spaces, but Im not so sure anymore. I look forward to proving that the best programs can also be in the best spaces. It is invigorating to think about what we will be able to do with a beautiful new space.
The new building will bring together LARP with Architecture (now a program, but likely to be a department by the time we all move) and Building and Construction Technologies (also currently a program, but likely to merge with Architecture by the big move).
A few big picture facts:
Our architecture team is world class: Leers Weinzapfel, with principal Andrea Leers as the lead designer. You can see examples of their work at: http://www.lwa-architects.com/. Our landscape architects are Stephen Stimson Associates, http://www.stephenstimson.com/. Stimson is an alumni of the MLA program and has taught in our department. His firm did the beautiful design which puts green infrastructure to work in UMass Southwest concourse.
With such a big, complicated, fast project UMass got an Owners Rep on board early. We have been very happy with the work of Collaborative Partners in Cambridge MA in keeping us all represented in the process and doing just what their name suggests encouraging collaboration, but also assuring that we keep moving along.
The big question is WHERE! The architects are developing proposals for Lot 62, which is the parking area right across from the Fine Arts Center, or for upgrading and connecting to Clark Hall. Ultimately the final location is a decision the Chancellor will make.
Ah, but what will happen to Hills, you ask? It is destined to come down altogether, and become a parking lot. If we can work it out with the lawyers, were dreaming of having an alumni event where for $25 you can swing a sledgehammer at the building once we are all moved out! That sounds like a party.
This Friday (January 10th) the architects will present the options and their initial designs. Watch this space for a video of their presentation! In future blogs well talk more about the building design, the sustainability features, the studio concepts, and the landscape design, maybe reminiscence on Hills and more.
Happy New Year! -Elisabeth Hamin, Head of Department
