No, just another day. my summer existence was so BOOOORING! Yes, working. No, not yet. You know, if I was going to be able to do a good job on a classroom assignment like that, then shouldn’t my parents have made sure that I did something really exciting over the sum- mer? You know, like climb Mount Everest…dine with headhunters in the Amazon jungle…or parachute out of an airplane. Heck, just flying in an airplane---at least when I was a kid---would have saved the day for me. But no, not me! What did I do? Absolutely NOTHING worth writing about, I can assure you. After all, it was a summer limited to such mundane activities as tag and hide and go seek….of tramping through the woods with my buds until we found an open field where we’d sprawl-out in the tall grass and search the clouds for perceived images of animals, cars or even God…of darting through a sprinkler on a hot August afternoon or perhaps skinny dip- ping in nearby Vesper Lake during a camp-out. They were days of scrounging the area for scraps of old wood and nails, borrowing ham- mers and saws from our fathers---usually with- out their knowledge---and building secret club- houses and forts. And while our structures nev- er matched those elaborate creations occupied by Hollywood’s Little Rascals, we were still proud of our lowly efforts. And if not fishing with a cane pole, then we’d be playing soldier, cowboys & indians, Superman or Tarzan for hours on end.

Branford High School transitioned back into the 2011-12 year with ease. “The first week was really good. The students knew what was expected of them,” As- sistant Principal Dr. Jimmy Wilkerson said. “Most of the staff that I spoke to said it was smooth as glass.” Wilkerson predicts the rest of the school year “to follow suit” of the first week. “I don’t foresee any problems this year. We got good kids here in Branford. There’s just High schoolers hang out in the drop off area and discuss the activities of the day. no other way to put it,” he said. - Photos: Misty A.

Now is the time to enroll and take care of ap- plication, testing and program entrance requirements. Classes begin Jan. 9. Deadline to apply is Nov. 1. NFCC’s patient care technician program prepares students to provide direct patient care in a variety of health care environments. While working under the supervision of a registered nurse, patient care techni- cians often have more contact with patients than any other healthcare team member. Students receive addi- tional training as assistants in the care of the elderly, physical and respiratory therapy and may also receive additional training in performance of electrocardio- grams and phlebotomy. Most PCT’s seek certification as a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Graduates may also apply to take a national certification examination to become certified patient care technician. In order to be considered for admission into NFCC’s PCT program, individuals must have a high school diploma or GED and be at least 18-years-old. Students are required to complete the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) prior to making application to enter the program. The TABE is given regularly at the NFCC campus and may be scheduled by calling The Band Patchwork to perform at 850-973-9451.
