Befhpager, Ronni Werner, Visits
Strife Torn Northern Ireland
Bethpage resident, Veronica Werner, of 344 Stewart
Avenue has recently returned from Belfast, Northern Ireland
where she spent her summer working with Belfast youths in
the Alliance/Ardoyne Summer Scheme.
Financially supported by the Belfast Education and
Library Board, the Summer Scheme is designed to provide
recreational and social activities to children and adolescents,
ages 8 to 18, in six of the Belfast communities most severely
affected by the civil violence and strife in Northern Ireland
over the past ten years. A major purpose of the scheme is not
only to divert youths from involvement in delinquent and
destructive behavior but also to promote inter-action and
communication among youths of different communities
segregated by sectarian conflict.
Miss Werner's assignment was to organize daily activities
for approximately 45 youngsters from the area known as
Deanby. She was assisted in her efforts by a volunteer from
Holland, as well as five local volunteers. As an added
challenge, the Deanby area has no community center to
serve as a base for operations, and thus Miss Werner, known
to her friends as Ronni, was forced to literally work in the
streets of Belfast. During her stay in Northern Ireland, Ronni
met with the Lord Mayor of Belfast to discuss her work in the
Alliance/ Ardoyne Summer Scheme.
Needless to say, Ronni found her involvement in this
project to be an emotionally-charged but unique and valuable
experience. While her work in the Summer Scheme was
totally unsalaried, Ronni was provided with room and board
by the Belfast satellite of the Dublin-based Glencree Center
for Peace and Reconciliation.
In addition, as a student in her senior year at Adelphi
University School of Social Work, Miss Werner was able to
use this experience as an independent study project to earn
several credits toward her Bachelor's in Social Work Degree.
Miss Werner's trip to Northern Ireland was sponsored by
the Reverend Thomas Hartman, Communications Director
for the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, who provided the
airfare. Her work assignment in the Alliance/Ardoyne
Summer Scheme and her living accommodations were
organized and arranged by Jim McKague, Program Director
of People, the Bethpage Adolescent Development
Association, Inc., who became involved with the peace
movement in Northern Ireland in 1976 and has made several
trips to Belfast in an attempt to organize the project to bring
