Veterans Affairs Media Summary and News Clips 2 March 2016 Veterans Affairs Media Summary and News Clips 2 March 2016 1. Top Stories 1.1 - The Wall Street Journal: Veterans Affairs Takes Action Against Five Staff Members Over Alleged Discriminatory Remarks, VA files a complaint against two judges and proposes disciplinary action against three attorneys (1 March, Daniel Huang, 41.5M online visitors/mo; New York, NY) The Department of Veterans Affairs disciplined two judges and proposed action against three staff attorneys after an internal investigation revealed email exchanges that allegedly carried discriminatory remarks. The five staff members at the Board of Veterans Appeals, a VA administrative court in Washington, D.C., that handles appeals over veterans’ claims, were implicated in a “pattern of inappropriate emails that were racist and sexist in tone,” VA officials said. Hyperlink to Above 1.2 - The Washington Post (Power Post): Was VA watchdog dismissive of whistleblowers reporting wrongdoing? (1 March, Joe Davidson, 23.7M online visitors/mo; Washington, DC) Inspectors general are like cops on the beat. IG offices include law enforcement officers among others who patrol their agencies — something like neighborhoods — hunting waste, fraud and abuse. But what happens if IGs, watchdogs who operate independently of agency management, are dismissive of those who report wrongdoing? That’s the upshot of a report to President Obama last week about the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) inspector general’s office. Hyperlink to Above 1.3 - Star Tribune: Minneapolis VA cleared in three cases of alleged manipulation of patient appointments, wait times, Inspector general clears Minneapolis VA Health Care System in three cases (1 March, Mark Brunswick, 7.8M online visitors/mo; Minneapolis, MN) The Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Hospital has been cleared in three cases where it was alleged to have manipulated patient appointments and wait times. The results of the three Minnesota cases were part of a massive release Monday of summaries of wait-time investigations nationwide by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs inspector general, the VA’s internal independent watchdog. Hyperlink to Above 1.4 - The Arizona Republic (Video): Sharon Helman, ex-Phoenix VA hospital director, pleads guilty (1 March, Dennis Wagner, 2.5M online visitors/mo; Phoenix, AZ) Helman gets probation after admitting to false financial disclosure in connection with gifts from a lobbyist. Sharon Helman, the former Phoenix VA Health Care System director who was fired in 2014 amid a scandal over patient care, pleaded guilty Tuesday to filing a false financial disclosure that failed to list more than $50,000 in gifts she had received from a lobbyist. Hyperlink to Above 1.5 - Hartford Courant: CT Veteran's Findings Spur VFW's Fight For Expanded Agent Orange Benefits (1 March, Peggy McCarthy, 1.5M online visitors/mo; Hartford, CT) A Connecticut veteran who has spent years trying to gain Agent Orange benefits for veterans who served in Korea in 1967 has persuaded the Veterans of Foreign Wars and two other Veterans Affairs Media Summary and News Clips 2 March 2016 1 veterans' organizations to take his case before Congress. On Wednesday, VFW National Commander John A. Biedrzycki Jr. will ask Congress to pass a law requiring the VA to grant VA health care and compensation to veterans who served in Korea in 1967 if they have illnesses linked to Agent Orange. Hyperlink to Above 2. Access to Benefits/Care 2.1 - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Clean house at the VA (1 March, 1.8M online visitors/mo; Pittsburgh, PA) The Department of Veterans Affairs' suicide hotline scandal should be the final straw in a rotting haystack. Changing this “culture,” as Secretary Robert McDonald describes it, begins by firing its foot-dragging enablers. “Use the authority you have to demonstrate that repeated failure at the VA is unacceptable by firing Dr. (Mary) Schohn (the VA's director of mental health operations),” writes Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., in a letter to Mr. McDonald. Hyperlink to Above 2.2 - WCPO (ABC-9): Editorial: An open letter to Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald, 'We need action now' (1 March, 940k online visitors/mo; Cincinnati, OH) An open letter to Robert McDonald, secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Dear Secretary McDonald, Two years ago, the president appointed you to turn around the Veterans Affairs department. Two years ago, your predecessor resigned after a nationwide scandal over lengthy wait times for health care. We applauded your appointment, but two years later, we haven’t seen much change where it really counts… Hyperlink to Above 2.3 - WCCO (CBS-4): Veteran Affairs: Minneapolis VA Cleared Of Wait-Time Allegations (1 March, 927k online visitors/mo; Minneapolis, MN) The Minneapolis VA Health Care System has been cleared in three cases of allegations of manipulation of patient appointments, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced Tuesday. Veterans Affairs officials say the department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), an internal independent “watch-dog” of the VA, found out that “the allegations were not substantiated.” The cases involved two former Gastroenterology Clinic employees claiming they were instructed to alter appointment and scheduling records… Hyperlink to Above 2.4 - KPHO/KTVK (CBS-5/TV-3, Video): VA employee letter reveals shocking allegations (1 March, Ashleigh Barry, 771k online visitors/mo; Phoenix, AZ) It's a shocking statement from a man who not only works on the inside, but he was also one of the whistleblowers who got the feds to take a closer look at the Phoenix VA Hospital. "The Phoenix VA, there's blood on all of our hands at this point," said Brandon Coleman. This might just be the most disturbing as Coleman has nothing to do with a letter that was addressed to reporter Ashleigh Barry and signed by other concerned employees of the VA health care system. Hyperlink to Above Veterans Affairs Media Summary and News Clips 2 2 March 2016 2.5 - WBBM (CBS-2, Video): VA Crisis Hotline Puts Suicidal Chicago Vet On Hold (1 March, Jim Williams, 758k online visitors/mo; Chicago, IL) Every day 22 veterans kill themselves, and every day some of them reach out for help. But recently, as CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports, that help wasn’t there when they needed it most. Chicagoan Dedra Clady, an Army veteran, honorably discharged, was facing unemployment and mounting bills and the haunting memory of a sexual assault that happened shortly before she joined the service. Hyperlink to Above 2.6 - KOB (NBC-4, Video): VA trying to locate rural veterans who need services (1 March, Devin Neeley, 573k online visitors/mo; Albuquerque, NM) There is a new push to find New Mexico's veterans living in rural areas who may be in need of help. “It has been a long time coming; it’s going to be an asset to native veterans,” said Leon Curley. Tuesday, a ribbon cutting was held at the Shiprock Veterans Center for a rural outreach program. The program is dedicated to finding veterans living in rural areas, previously unregistered, and signing them up with the Veterans Administration… Hyperlink to Above 2.7 - KARE (NBC-11): VA Report: Wait time claims 'not substantiated' (1 March, Steve Eckert and A.J. Lagoe, 548k online visitors/mo; Golden Valley, MN) An internal investigation has failed to confirm claims made in 2014 of wait time manipulation at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. In September 2014, two former VA employees told KARE 11 that that they were pressured to falsify appointment dates to hide long delays in patient care. A new report issued by the VA’s Office of Inspector General says their “allegations were not substantiated.” Hyperlink to Above 2.8 - The Times Leader: VA nurse Pieri, accused of assisting in surgery while drunk, has troubled past, Drums resident accused of assisting in surgery while drunk (1 March, Steve Mocarsky, 394k online visitors/mo; Wilkes-Barre, PA) In October 1985, Richard J. Pieri was charged in the hit-and-run death of a veteran near the Wilkes-Barre VA Hospital. Now, 30 years later, he’s facing reckless endangerment charges after allegedly staggering into that same hospital and aiding in emergency surgery as an operating room nurse after drinking four or five beers at Mohegan Sun Pocono casino. The 59-year-old Drums resident faces DUI and public drunkenness charges as well. Hyperlink to Above 2.9 - WPEC (CBS-12, Video): Report: VA Medical Center violated policy (1 March, Al Pefley, 380k online visitors/mo; West Palm Beach, FL) Another black eye for the Veterans Affairs Administration. A new report shows the medical center in Riviera Beach is among those VA hospitals that manipulated wait times to make the facility look better. The findings are spelled out in a report just released by the VA Office of Inspector General in Washington. And it says when staff set veterans' appointments, some things were done improperly. Hyperlink to Above Veterans Affairs Media Summary and News Clips 3 2 March 2016 2.10 - WXOW (ABC-19, Video): Veterans address officials at Tomah VA town hall (1 March, Ginna Roe, 351k online visitors/mo; La Crescent, MN) Veterans who use the Tomah VA Medical Center for their health care had the chance to take their concerns straight to the top officials Tuesday night. The Department of Veterans Affairs held a town hall forum. It's all part of an attempt to rebuild a facility that's come under great scrutiny over the last year, primarily due to the prescription drug scandal and retaliation against those who complained.

  • 2006 Progress Report
    The mission of the Prostate Cancer Foundation is to find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer. 2006 Progress Report 1 As the Prostate Cancer Foundation nears its 15th year of seeking better treatments and an eventual cure for prostate cancer, we pledge to you – trusted partners, directors, donors, friends, survivors and families – that we will not rest until we accomplish the goal of ending death and suffering from prostate cancer. We’re accelerating our timetable, harnessing every available resource and delivering needed funds to investigators on the brink of finding new discoveries to benefit men and their families. Since 1993, generous donors like you have provided the means for the PCF to fund more than 1,400 investigators. We’ve received nearly 6,000 applications for our Competitive Awards Program that were submitted from scientific investigators at leading medical institutions in 43 countries. These investigators are on the frontline of research, working in concert to streamline their research approach and share best practices. And each year we bring together the world’s finest prostate cancer experts to collaborate on ideas, educate each other and energize the research field during the PCF Scientific Retreat. All this activity is focused on the fact that one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, the most-diagnosed non-skin cancer in the United States. In 2006 alone, more than 234,000 men received the unfortunate news. But there is cause for hope. When the PCF began in 1993, there were seven approved drugs for prostate cancer – today there are 13.

PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH Waverly, Iowa 1872-1997 written by Mary Cheville Sue Hagemann Ray Harms Dale and Sandy Johnson Bill Lynes Fran Mueller Ed Zelle edited by Ron Matthias and Linda Moeller cover design by Jon Liebau 1 DEDICATION This history of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 1972-1997, is dedicated to the glory of God in loving memory of Pastor Arnold Jahr by his wife, Lillian, and his family-whose generous gift together with other memorial gifts made possible this 125th Anniversary project. 125th Anniversary Banner Theme: "Called to Be Saints" 2 INTRODUCTION This history has been prepared as part of a year-long observance of the 125th anniversary of the founding of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Waverly,Iowa. Dr. Gerhard Ottersberg wrote a detailed history of the congregation published during the 1972 centennial. The pages that follow focus on the life of the congregation during the first 25 years of its second century. For anyone without access to or interest in Dr. Ottersberg's centennial history of St. Paul's (1972), the following brief summary may be useful. Iowa became a state in 1846. At that time Bremer County was still a wilderness untouched by the plow, one sixth of its land covered with forests which had not yet felt the blow of an ax. Native Americans still lived and hunted on the land. A few white settlers moved into Bremer County in the 1840s, but rapid development did not begin until the 1850s. In 1853, William Harmon came to the Waverly area, purchased land, surveyed lots, and began the establishment of a town.
