    To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders

    To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders We closed the pool on November 17 as California slipped into the red and then the purple tier designations for COVID spread. These tiers mandated that indoor pools be closed for public use. Humboldt County progressed to the orange tier on April 6th which finally allows facilities such as ours to reopen! The approved Operational Plan has allowed the pool to reopen, but it also has a number of restrictions in place to promote a safe environment for customers and staff. Limited numbers of people in the facility, restrictions on group use, enhanced cleaning procedures are all examples of these restrictions. Aspects of these social distancing measures, additional operational costs and the nearly five‐month closure has created significant operational and financial challenges for the pool. For Season Pass holders we welcome you back to the pool and would like to inform you on how we are going to work with annual passes going forward. For 2020 Passes: 1. We will calculate a credit or a refund, based on you time lost during the most recent closure. This amount will include all days starting on the closure date in November up to the date the pass would have expired in 2021 2. You have three options for this amount. a. We can issue you a credit towards a new 2021 pass. b. A refund can be issued. Once requested a check will be sent to your physical address. This will take up to three weeks to process. c. You can donate this amount if you would like to help the pool through this unprecedented financial challenge.

    Program #40048 - Community Epidemiology 2/17/2017 Department: Health Department Program Contact: Dr. Frank Franklin Program Offer Type: Existing Operating Program Program Offer Stage: As Requested Related Programs: Program Characteristics: In Target Executive Summary Community Epidemiology Services (CES) provides the fundamental capacity that enables the Public Health Division to make data-driven decisions, program improvements, and policy recommendations. CES helps public health leaders, policy makers, clinicians, and community members assess the magnitude of disease, disorder, and injury burden among community populations. CES identifies the drivers of health and disease determinants and captures whether health interventions are working well. Program Summary Community Epidemiology Services (CES) fulfills a unique and required governmental public health role by collecting and analyzing programmatic, population health, and environmental data to prevent disease and promote and protect health among all Multnomah County populations. The CES unit leads Public Health Division (PHD) programs in coordinated public health data and epidemiologic analysis. Epidemiology is the study of the causes, distribution, and control of disease in populations. CES analyzes population and health system data to assist programs in optimizing quality and accountability to the communities they serve. CES provides data and reports to support program development, strategic planning, resource allocation, decision-making, and community priorities (including community-based participatory research). CES works closely with the Communicable Disease Services program to provide outbreak response through data analysis support, statistical modeling, and standardized investigative guidelines. CES identifies appropriate analytical approaches, helps assure the use of high quality data for analysis, and provides technical, scientific oversight and leadership for all research and assessment work in the PHD.

This report demonstrates the growing popularity of bikesharing in WNY and was The SMI and Reddy teams took a group ride to created with the intent to thank our riders, to inform and engage with our community, as the Outer Harbor during golden hour on a late summer’s night, something we do often to bond. well as to recognize our partners that help make everything we do possible. Partnering with Independent Health again in 2020 helped us to elevate the program to more of the community at a time when it was really needed. Together with Independent Health, we are focused on fi nding ways for our communities to get and stay healthy and connected in 2021. Biking is a great way to prioritize your health and well-being. After enduring a challenging year, our team appreciates self-care and well-being more than we ever have. A 222% increase in riders tells us that a rapidly increasing number of Western New Yorkers would agree that Reddy bikes are fun and support overall wellness. As champions of biking, we know that bikes also serve a holistic good – our collective public health, a greener environment, they support small business, and they make people happy. Scientists, health experts, urban planners, small businesses and community associations all agree – biking can be transformational.

    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1, 1-31 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.01.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Empathy in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling and Aldren Watson Norman Arthur Fischer Kent State University (Retired), Kent, Ohio, USA Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books depict empathy in the animal and animal-human world, and the illustrations of Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, and the American artist and prolific illustrator, Aldren Watson, help depict that empathy. Lockwood Kipling was both influence on and interpreter of the Jungle Books, as shown above all in the development from his Beast and Man in India of 1891 through his illustrations for the 1894 Jungle Book, and 1895 Second Jungle Book, to his illustrations that appear in the rearranged stories of The Jungle Book, and Second Jungle Book in the 1897 Scribners Outward Bound (O/B) editions. A variation on Lockwood’s O/B mode of Jungle Books illustrations is found in Watson’s illustrations for the 1948 Doubleday edition, Jungle Books, which is the title I will use throughout.1 Part One details the influence of two animal empathy writers, Lockwood Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton, on the Jungle Books. Part Two uses recent philosophical studies of empathy in the animal and human relationship. Part Three applies a German philosophy of art history to the new look of the O/B and Doubleday Jungle Books. Part Four interprets selected Jungle Books stories in the light of Parts one, two and three.

    Behavioral Health Administration Aliya Jones, M.D., MBA Deputy Secretary Behavioral Health 55 Wade Ave., Dix Bldg., SGHC Catonsville, MD 21228 TO: MABHA FROM: Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders Program for adults and/or minors Date: June 4, 2021 The Behavioral Health Program is issuing a “Request for Proposals” for Residential Eating Disorders Programs to serve adults and/or minors. Background: Over the past couple of years, BHA has received inquiries from entities seeking to establish a residential eating disorder program for children & adolescents and asked for advice regarding how to license such a program. The possible licensure categories are a residential treatment center (RTC), or a therapeutic group home (TGH). RTCs requires a Certificate of Need, a schooling component and maybe a higher level of care that the program did not want to meet. By statute, a TGH must be owned by a non-profit. Also, there is the question of whether a TGH provides the appropriate level of care. OHCQ has a category called Limited Private Inpatient Facility, but by regulations that is limited to adults. Thus, no category of licensure fits the model of care that these private companies wish to establish in Maryland. BHA regulations state that the Department may exempt a program from licensure requirements if the program is a pilot project and the program demonstrates to the Department that it is subject to contractual provisions, conditions of grant awards, or other requirements that are comparable to the regulations in COMAR 10.63. Therefore, to assist these providers, BHA has established a pilot project for residential eating disorder programs.
