I would either be doing drugs on the street. Or I would be dead.” — Celena, Former Foster Youth “Having a Behavior Coach working closely with my child has been very helpful. He has taught my child strategies for dealing with frustrations and social challenges, as well as helped us learn better ways to interact with our son. We’re working hard to be more positive and understand that there are reasons for his behavior.” “ — Anonymous, Behavioral Health Client “[My grandma] got her foster license and now she’s been fostering me. I’ve had help from the young adult program. My case worker, she is the best. Anything I can ask for she gets done. They’ve helped me make decisions to keep me where I’m at and keep me healthy and safe. Without Arizona’s Children Association, I’d probably be thinking about what I’m going to do next. I didn’t necessarily know what I wanted to do or how I wanted to do it yet before I got involved with them. They set up a structured path for me and also provided me with the resources to do so.” — David, Young Adult Services “This program is incredible and has helped me be a better parent. “ My educator has helped me understand where my daughter is at developmentally. It has allowed me to be more patient and connect with her when she’s upset, as well as how to work through sibling rivalry.” — Parents as Teachers Participant “Life without affection is meaningless and affection comes from your support system. I think what Arizona’s Children Association does is very, very great. Because foster kids are a stigmatized group in society. Society often doesn’t know about them and when people get licensed and learn more about the system and how it actually works, they’re more open to doing programs through AzCA. So it’s a matter of getting educated and stepping forward and seeing past what we perceive things to be. It’s really a wonderful agency that has provided, not only things for my family, but I know for many other families who are also in need.” — Samantha, Former Foster Youth statewide snapshot 40,000+ 16,207 lives were touched children, youth, by AzCA in 2018. adults, and their family members 989 benefited from one or more of children in our Outpatient current and Arizona’s Behavioral Health former foster foster care Services or Trauma 1,288 youth received system Support Services. 1,535 support and were services to provided assist with children loving transitioning “ homes. cared for into adulthood. by relative 397 adoptions caregivers were provided support services. parents and caregivers + were served by our 644 7,600 Family Education & Support Services. families received Family Preservation or Family children participated in the Reunification/ Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics Placement to identify experiences that may have Stabilization 119 impacted their developing brains.

Her dedication to the Fund was consistent with her lifetime of tireless commitment to a variety of civic and professional organizations here in New York. She will long be remembered not only as a role model for women involved in the practice of law but also as a forceful advocate for the humane treatment of all animals.

URL of article: http://www.nebraskahistory.org/publish/publicat/history/full-text/NH1972Chadron_Race.pdf Date: 6/22/2011 Article Summary: Horse racing was a popular sport of the American West. As preparations were made for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with its emphasis upon American accomplishments and customs, it was not surprising that someone suggested a horse race from the West to Chicago. The ride was designed to pit skilled Western horsemen against each other over a one thousand-mile route spanning the three states of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This article presents the planning, the promotion, the opposition, and the story of the actual race. Cataloging Information: Names: A C Putnam, N H Weir, William

  • Telling the Story: Changing Perceptions of the Lewis and Clark Journals
    TELLING THE STORY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK JOURNALS by Deborah Malony Dukes A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science Emphasis: Teaching American History May 2006 TELLING THE STORY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK JOURNALS by Deborah Malony Dukes Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee: Delores McBroome, Major Professor Date Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Member Date Rodney Sievers, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Graduate Coordinator Date Donna E. Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT The collective journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition have been objects of fascination and interpretation ever since the Corps of Discovery’s homecoming in 1806. Despite President Thomas Jefferson’s direction that Meriwether Lewis prepare the journals for publication, Lewis’ untimely death in 1809 left the editing of the expedition’s records – and much of the storytelling – to a series of writers and editors of varying interests, abilities and degrees of integrity. Understandably the several major editions and many other versions of the story have reflected the lives and times of the editors. For instance, ornithologist Elliott Coues was the first – 89 years after the fact – to acknowledge the expedition’s many scientific and ethnological observations. For their own purposes, successive generations of activists have appropriated iconic expedition members, emphasized or even invented anecdotes, and supposed discoveries. Scholarly and public interest in the journals has peaked during this bicentennial period, as often happens around the times of major anniversaries of the expedition.

  • Mining, Keno, and the Law
    MINING, KENO, AND THE LAW The Tombstone Careers of Bob Winders, Charley Smith, And Fred Dodge, 1879-1888 By Robert F. Palmquist Published in the Journal of Arizona History, Vol. 24, Number 3, July-Sept 1997) 38, no. 2 (Summer 1197): pp 134-154, reprinted with permission of the author "MINING SUIT INVOLVING MILLIONS", trumpeted the headline of the June 26, 1909 Tombstone Prospector. The accompanying story declared that "perhaps the largest mining case ever filed in Arizona was instituted yesterday in the district court here." Dr. Thomas Winders, a thirty-seven-year-old San Francisco physician who had grown up in Tombstone, had filed the action against the Copper Queen Company on behalf of the estates of his father, Robert Jackways Winders, and stepfather, Origen Charles Smith. The lawsuit, the paper observed, "is one of a remarkable record and dates back to the early history of Bisbee and Tombstone". Ironically, this venture into "courtroom mining", in which the Winder-Smith heirs claimed $1,250,000 in damages, probably marked the closest that "Uncle Bob" Winders and "Hairlip[sic] Charley Smith ever approached to fortune. Although Smith and Winders never struck a bonanza, their decade of mining ventures in southern Arizona epitomizes the efforts of thousands of hopeful souls who swarmed the Arizona mining camps in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Tombstone careers of Bob Winders, Charley Smith, and their friend, Fred J. Dodge, in mining, gambling, and law enforcement during the years 1879 to 1888, provide a glimpse of this period's workaday world in the Arizona boom towns.
