  • The Alzheimer's Podcast
    The Alzheimer’s Podcast Episode 137: What’s the Value of a Human Life? Christy Turner: As somebody who advocates for people living with dementia and their families—I or anybody else in that position should never have to make an argument about why people living with dementia are valuable enough to save. Phil: Right. Christy: No advocate of any kind should be in a position where they have to talk about why the population, or the segment of the population, that they are advocating for is valuable enough. When we get sucked into that, I feel like we're losing. And it's also speaking a lot to the people who control things like essential supplies and funding and all of that kind of stuff. Because the fact that we are talking about a fellow human being ought to be enough. Full-stop. Phil Gutis: Right. Christy: You're listening to The Alzheimer's Podcast with Christy Turner of Dementia Sherpa, where we're all about bringing the Good Stuff --that's respect, kindness, love, empathy, and compassion--for people living with dementia, their families, and the professionals who support them. I'm Christy Turner, AKA The Dementia Sherpa. I've enjoyed the privilege of working with over 1,500 people living with dementia and their families so far, including multiple experiences in my own family. In the course of my career, I've transformed from total train wreck on my first day as a professional to local go-to expert, speaker, trainer, and consultant. And if I can go from scared spitless to confident care partner, I promise you can, too.

  • Mcclintock Drive Resident Feedback Via Email and Phone Calls Excluding 311 April 2015 to March 17, 2016
    McClintock Drive Resident Feedback Via email and phone calls excluding 311 April 2015 to March 17, 2016 POSITIVE 1. 4/24/2015 Dear Tempe City Council Members, Please install bike lanes on McClintock between Broadway and Guadalupe. This will make crossing the US-60 between my apartment in Tempe and my parents' house in Chandler much safer. Thanks for considering this proposition and for making our city safe and beautiful! Sincerely, Julie Cameron 2. 4/24/2015 Members of the Council, I am writing you to express my strong support for the City's recently announced project to remove excess, no longer needed, vehicle lanes on McClintock from Broadway to Guadalupe, which will reduce speeding and crashes on the corridor while creating space to add bike lanes and improve transportation options. As someone who has lived here for about 8 years (2005-2015, with a 2 year exodus to Chicago from 2009-2011), I can testify to the fact that this improvement is sorely needed, and that traffic levels have dropped in the last decade to the point that this is a feasible opportunity that won’t have negative impacts on traffic. When I first moved here in 2005, I remember both driving and riding a bike from ASU to the Target store on Baseline and McClintock fairly often, before Tempe Marketplace opened. When driving, I would often get stuck in a lot of traffic on McClintock, and when riding my bike, I would often feel very unsafe. The road had too much traffic for me to feel comfortable or safe riding on the street, while the sidewalk felt unsafe because it is narrow, with many driveways interrupting it.

And not so affectionately, I might add,” said Kevin Brandt, the superintendent of the C&O Canal National Historical Park. The breach — an estimated 100 feet wide or more and at least 20 feet deep — was the result of water seepage and subsequent erosion over time, but the massive fallout and landslide into the Potomac River were made more severe by Tropical Storm Hannah, which hit the Potomac area on Saturday, Sept.
