When a lobster has outgrown its existing shell, it splits its old shell in January 2018 half and crawls out, leaving behind the old shell. The hard shell is the lobster's only protection from predators, and Behavioral Health Employee of the Month without it the lobster becomes extremely vulnerable. It can easily be attacked, severely injured or even killed during this AUTUMN VINING,CSW time, but the lobster is willing to risk its life in order to grow. Wilton Branch Can you imagine, risking your entire life in order to grow! That is what a lobster does. It entirely embraces change. Home Health Employee of the Month We too have a hard, outer shell comprised of fears, JESSICA MILLS, PSS insecurities, and comforts that we must shed to grow. As we shed our outer shell, we too will become vulnerable to the Waterville Branch outside world because we are in a place of transition that is new. But this is what we need to embrace to change, grow Autumn and Jessica we are proud to have you as valued and be all we are meant to be. It is the only way to get to the members of our Care & Comfort family and thank you for next level. all you do for those we serve. Your Employee of the If a lobster never shed its existing skin, living would be pretty Month awards are well deserved! painful. The lobster's body would keep growing while its shell stayed the same. The shell would become a jail for the lobster, and it would constantly keep cramping its growth. 3 Care & Comfort Proudly Announces Our 2017 Employees of The Year The heart of Care & Comfort has always been our employees, and it gives us great pleasure to recognize and honor two exceptional individuals who have dedicated themselves to caring for our clients with enthusiasm, expertise, professionalism, and selflessness for many years. We are delighted to introduce our Employees of the Year. Virginia Sturies, DSP ~ Behavioral Health Employee of the Year Sandra Sechrest, CNA ~ Home Health Employee of the Year Virginia and Sandra, congratulations on being selected by your peers as our Employees of the Year. Each of you certainly exemplifies the excellence in healthcare which these distinguished awards represent. We are so very proud of you and thank you for choosing to be members of our Care & Comfort family. Virginia Sturies, DSP Care & Comfort 2017 Behavioral Health Employee of The Year Virginia, pictured with Mike Stair our President & COO, has been with our Waterville Branch for 15 years Sandra Sechrest, CNA Care & Comfort 2017 Home Health Employee of The Year Sandra has been with our Bangor Branch for 15 years. 4 We all know our behavioral and home health staff make real, positive and impactful differences in the lives they touch ~ both for clients and their families. There are also times when all their training, experience and intuitiveness tell them something is just not right, and by going above and beyond they prevent serious, possibly devastating, events and consequences from happening...for Mike Stellar this meant saving a life! Mike, who has been a DSP with Care & Comfort for over 20 years, has worked with our client Dave (not his real name of course) and his Dad the entire time. A very perceptive and observant person, Mike has worked with Dave since he was very young and has been dedicated to guiding his growth and development. Over the years he has been with the family he naturally has come to know them well ~ their personalities, habits, routines, etc. so it is not surprising that while finishing a Friday shift, he was concerned when Dad wasn’t acting like his usual energetic, cheerful self. Dad said he wasn't feeling well, yet made David's dinner and said he'd be fine so Mike left for the weekend. On Sunday, it was necessary for one of our on-call staff to contact the Dad. After repeated tries, she was able to reach him, but she too was concerned as his responses were not coherent. When Mike received a call at 11:30 on Monday from the learning center David attends telling him that he had not arrived and that they were Mike Stellar, a hero among us unable to contact Dad he knew something had happened.

Her first step was to survey paraplegic rid- ers to find out what they needed the most. Then she created a hoist that can lift a saddle onto a horse. Other obstacles paraplegic riders may face when getting ready to ride a horse are already taken care of with wheelchair ramps and lifts to place them on the animals. However, with- out Burris’ hoist, these riders need someone else to maneuver the saddles for them. “Knowing this population and knowing some of the struggles that they go through try- ing to tack up their own horse and how benefi- cial riding is to them, I wanted to figure out a way to make it more accessible and help them be more independent,” Burris said. Burris is a non-traditional student. She has worked in health care for many years and was inspired by the many lifts used to move pa- tients. Her research and the hoist were presented at a symposium at the University of Califor- nia-Berkeley this past summer.

My cuddling makes you soft, On my sofa cushion. I sit with you on my lap. Oh bear, I meet you in the forest. I see all your huge fur, And large, sharp teeth, In your big mouth. And I run the other way. Vera Sidhwa www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 A Bird A Bird It was in my brain. It was in my veins. It just took off and then, Flew it's own way in and out. The trees rocked in the wind. All nature seemed in, A fury and crazy. The bird flew away. This was a real bird you see. It was in and out of me. I looked at in glee. It was the bird of perfection. I knew it would bring news to me. For this I could really see, That all ideas have wings of their own. And this idea did too.

A chime heard by the flowers, Was their ever wanting need. You see, their field was silent, And the flowers needed a sound. The chiming bell knew this, So it chimed about and around. Through the loud fields now, The flowers began to listen.

  • HAPPINESS Copy.Pages
    QUOTES ON HAPPINESS I asked professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness. And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men. They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them. And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the DesPlaines River And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion. --Carl Sandburg Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery. —H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. --Joseph Addison I am 100% responsible for my own happiness. It is a state of mind cultivated by my choices and habits, not by things or people. Yes, my children make me happy. Yes, sitting at the beach and watching a sunset makes me happy. But I don’t ever want to make the mistake of thinking my happiness is dependent on something—a different job, more money, another child, wood floors, a remodeled bathroom. --Kelle Hampton We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. --George Bernard Shaw There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. —Ben Williams - 1! - The happy people are those who are producing something; the bored people are those who are consuming much and producing nothing.

Much of this information is in the form of public input received throughout the process from surveys and public meetings. Appendix A – Additional Tools and Techniques The following are tools and techniques briefly discussed as possible actions within the comprehensive plan. These tools are explained in greater detail below. Form Based Code “Form Based Code” could be used as an alternative to the creation of design guidelines for the hamlet zones. Form based codes place less emphasis on use regulations than do conventional zoning documents. Instead, form based codes are more flexible about use, perhaps only prohibiting certain uses that are clearly inappropriate, while being very proscriptive about architecture and urban design. A useful model for this type of code is called the Transect. The Transect is a concept developed by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, a Florida based town planning firm. As the figure below illustrates, the Transect represents the continuum of development form from rural to urban.

  • Of Audiotape
    1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. CLARK TERRY NEA Jazz Master (1991) Interviewee: Clark Terry (December 14, 1920 – February 21, 2015) Interviewer: William Brower Date: June 15 and 22, 1999 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 150 pp. Transcriber’s note: Evidently there was no recording engineer available for the Clark Terry interview, and the interviewer, William Brower, handled the record process by himself. He had some technical problems. In the interview of June 15, 1999, one of the two channels is shorted out and emits nothing but a buzz, disrupting the entire session; this problem is exacerbated, affecting both channels, in the last two hours of this session. Brower acknowledges these problems at the beginning of the interview that took place one week later, on June 22, 1999. This later session has an excellent stereophonic sound. Terry: Saw a fellow sitting there, standing on a rock. He was driving around the corner, in the middle of the block. Is that close enough? Brower: Okay. We’re going to try this again. This is Bill Brower, talking with Mr. Clark Terry on June 15th for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Project, and we were getting background on the Terry family, and I’m going to ask if you would, to repeat the things that you told me about your parents’ background. For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 2 Terry: My mother’s name was Mary Scott.
