PAWS CAT OF THE WEEK: AZALEA This is Azalea! Her bright green eyes and spotlessly thick coat of black fur makes her a very pretty girl, but her love and charm make her even prettier. Azalea is 2 or 3 years old. She came to the shelter from a severe hoarding case, where most of the cats were thin, mal- nourished, full of fleas and just plain filthy. Our sweet Azalea was no excep- tion. 111 Westcott Road Since she’s been here at the shelter she Danielson, CT 06239 has come full circle. She’s packed on a few pounds and her sleek fur is now 860-774-9540 clean, soft and without fleas. She seems pretty happy about it too. All she ever gives anyone is love. Azalea is a bit shy with new people, and who wouldn’t be after the neglect Betty Francisco, RN, CDP ~ she’s lived through? Despite her initial timidity, one of her favorite things is to roll on her back, show you her tummy and purr until you pet her; once she’s Director of Nursing determined that you’re a nice person, that is.

Regency Heights Director of Nurses, Betty Francisco, sets this standard of professionalism and excellence in clinical care. Her example and leadership can be seen throughout the facility and is reflected in the nursing staff she supports and oversees. Celebrating one year as the Director of Nurses at Regency Heights, Betty comes to the facility with over thirteen years of nursing experience. It was a longstanding dream of Betty’s to become a nurse and after establishing a career in human resource management, she made the decision to go back to school to make her nursing dream a reality. For Betty, the ultimate goal was to become a Nursing Director. Step-by-step, Betty gained experience in a variety of settings, resulting in an applied understanding of the continuity of care from the hospital, to the rehabilitation setting, then home. Betty’s time as an Assistant Director and subsequently as a Director, equipped her with the skills to run large buildings, bring- ing facilities to deficiency-free status. Prior to her time at Regency Heights, Betty honed her skills by spending six years as the Director of Nursing at a large facility specializing in short and longer-term care in Rhode Island. As Director of Nurses at Regency Heights, Betty oversees operation of the facility’s nursing departments with responsibilities that include budgeting, staffing, and ensuring the nursing staff follows the plan of care for each patient. Regency Heights encourages Betty to teach her staff high-level skills and has given her the tools and resources to utilize for optimal staff development. Looking to the future, Betty is eager to build on the existing high-skilled care services Regency Heights offers to the community. For patients with Tracheotomies or with feeding tubes, I.V. nutrition and I.V. services are available. These services, among many others will expand in years to come. As a provider of longer-term care services, Regency Heights is home to many patients that are in need of continued care. Betty, a dementia certified nurse, is proud of the care offered by Regency to those patients with dementia. Likewise, the partnership between Regency and Hospice services give patients peace of mind and even more resources in their time of need. All of this is part of Regency Heights’ focus on serving the communi- ty. Collectively, the facility celebrates the way the nursing staff embraces patients and their family members. Often, the nurses become extended family to their patients and are dedi- cated to the care and comfort of the residents. Fundamentally, it is this dedication that drew Betty Francisco to the nursing field and is what continues to fuel her passion for her role as Director of Nurses. If you or a loved one is in need of short-term or longer term care, call Emma or Melissa in the Admissions department for more information or to schedule a tour: 860-774-9540.

All ROTARACT DONATES TO DAILY BREAD three of them came from a home where they had been lovingly cared for, until the family fell on hard times and could no longer afford to care for them. All three of them stay together in a large cage at the shelter. Mickey and Chance are very sweet but take some time to feel comfortable around new people. Onyx, on the other hand, is just a big love bug who will take a hug and some attention wherever and whenever he can get it, from whoever is around. His thick fluffy fur and fuzzy paws make him perfect for those long hugs he loves. The volunteers here have trouble getting work done in the room where Onyx’s cage is because in between each chore he would really like a hug or at least some of your attention. And he’s just too cute to resist. Onyx and his friends are all about 10 years old, which makes it very difficult for them to find a loving home, no matter how sweet and friendly they are. We hope that Onyx can have another chance at having a family anyways. They were well cared for all their lives and are very healthy and would bring a whole lot of love and devotion to any home. If you would like to break tradition and adopt Onyx, an older cat that needs your love and patience like no other, please call the PAWS shelter at (860) 480- 1104.

ART continued from page A1 people place much of their affection toward their pets. “Animals are a replacement for children in some cases,” Underhill said. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in illustration. Underhill paints mostly with oils and has been painting horses for over 20 years. Her subjects at the Audubon exhibit also include cattle, dogs, birds, ducks, pigs, a llama and flower studies. The exhibit features roughly a year’s worth of work — although many of the paintings were done a few years back. Underhill was born in Bristol but has lived in North Grosvenordale for the last 13 years. She and her husband, Michael, have one son, Max. The family also includes two horses, one dog, two cats and a “flock of chickens.” She is represented by several art houses including Fine Art Firm in Louisville, Ky.,Blue Stone in Philadelphia and Silver Circle in Putnam. Underhill has also done set design for the Bradley Playhouse in Putnam and she also per- formed in the chorus for the production “Anything Goes” at the Bradley. But her first love is painting. And more times then not the subject is horses — some things never change. “I just want to keep painting and have more shows,” she said.

This is pure- ly subjective measure but put the Equus at 98% of the refinement level of the Lexus and Mercedes. By the way, for the true number crunchers among us, the Equus has a higher residual value than the Lexus and Mercedes models. Are you looking for the best luxury model on the market without paying the full price? The 2014 Hyundai Equus is your best bet. Do you covet a Lexus or Mercedes just for the nameplate? Your vanity is going to cost you. The dashboard of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala is nicely intuitive and pleasing to look at.
