Finding a Good

Nursing Home

Researchers at University oPittsburghs Graduate School o

Public Health took a close look

at the citations or 16,000 nurs-

ing homes rom the years 000

to 007. Tey discovered that 15percent o the acilities had been

cited or a deciency in inection

control. Tis is important be-

cause nearly 400,000 people die

each year rom inections.

More than 400 inection-re-lated citations were in acilities

that had low stang o regis-

tered nurses, nurse aides and

licensed practical nurses. From

the study results, it appears

that understang can be a bigreason or the lack o inection

control. Could it be as simple as

nurses being too busy to wash

their hands? It also was learnedthat those acilities cited or lack

o inection control had a poor

rating o care in general.

Middletown still without budget, deadline approachBy Sue GoldenFrederick County Report

MIDDLETOWN own councilmet or a committees meeting onMonday, May 17 and discussedthe lack o a budget o the upcom-ing scal year.Council and town sta have

spent hundreds o hours goingthrough the budget line items,one at a time. A budget has beenpresented to council, but was voted down, along with a pro-posed cigarette tax increase.Citizens spoke out against the

$1.8 million proposed budget,

and tax increase taking councilback to square one. Accord-

ing to Mayor Mark Brown, thetown budget has only increased$10,000 in the last ive years.Tere are two problems, accord-ing to the mayor, the cost o themandated waste water treatmentplant, and the current economy.Brown opined that the budget

could be balanced i the cost owater and sewage was increasedby 50 percent. Currently there aretwo options on the table or pos-sible increases; 30 percent or 50percent. With Councilmen MarkDavis and John Blaisdell absent

rom the Monday meeting no o-cial votes could be recorded.

own Manager Joan Roche saidthe town is not eligible or grants.Due to being considered an un-der charging municipality thetown does not qualiy or grantmonies.Don Rifey, supervisor o public

works, noted that there are nu-merous and signiicant issuesgoing orward with the watertreatment plant. Unortunately,the town cannot sue the engineerthat designed the plant or deectsin the building, as it signed awayits rights in the initial contract.

Te town is looking into suing ormalunctioning equipment.

Council member Donna G.H.Gum emphasized that she willnot vote or a water and sewertax increase. She enumerateda number o not very riendlycuts that could be made.Council member Charles Har-

baugh agreed with Gum on everyissue except one; the eliminationo the town manager and the web-site. No one advocated a loss ojobs or the police department.

A new budget must be in placeby July 1.Council will meet again on June

6, to review and ultion a budget.

Council member Gumssuggested cuts:

1. Eliminate the cost o living increase

given to town employees,

saving approximately $5,000.

. Cancel the recently approved raises or the

town clerk and treasurer.

3. Eliminate the town manager,

saving $40,000 (with benets).

4. Eliminate the ull time supervisor mechanic position,saving $4,300.

5. Eliminate the town website,

saving $,000.

6. Eliminate the cleaning o the Police Department

uniorms, saving $800.

7. Eliminate the contract or computer maintenance,

saving $4,00.

8. Eliminate the cleaning o uniorms or the maintenance staf.

9. Eliminate the installation o large water meters.

rom becoming homeless, saidstudent Mark Peier. Ending ageneration o poverty.Te orum was one o the nal

phases o a thorough, comprehen-sive project on homelessness thatwas initiated with assigned read-ings by Painter, which includedTere Are No Children Here byAlex Kotlowitz, A Framework orUnderstanding Poverty by RubyK. Payne and the acclaimed LesMiserables by Victor Hugo.Tey have denitely opened my

eyes, and opened the eyes o mypeers, said student Ashlee Ander-son in reerence to the texts.

Nurse volunteer o the WASprogram, Reen Markland, and thePresident o CCAP, Fran Ricketts,recounted a heart-breaking storyabout one particular homeless

man who was not able to survivethe brutally cold and snowy winterseason this past year.

Te two women solemnly in-ormed the attendees about themans simple lie, explaining theonly reason he wouldnt spendthe rozen winter nights in a warmchurch is because he elt too guiltyabout the lie o homelessness hewas living by day, to spend a nightsleeping in Gods house.

to develop their own inormedideas beore the orum even beganuesday aternoon.

Tey had already come up withthe idea o a Planned Parentingcenter and a program that home-less, or similarly less ortunateindividuals could enter that wouldhave them working to better thecommunity by day, and wouldgive them a warm place to sleep atnight. Te program also includededucational classes and sessionsthat could help the homeless be-gin to assimilate to a non-povertyliestyle.It became apparent that con-

tributing to this cause was moreimportant to the students thantheir actual grade or the assign-ment; their concern or those lessortunate was genuine.One o the recurring messages

rom the Frederick County o-cials was that homelessness isalmost always the efect o someseemingly minor disruption inemployment or loss o income thatsnowballs until the point wherea amily or individual can loseeverything they own.

Nearly every single one o therepresentatives expressed thatno one was immune rom thecatastrophic chain o events thathas sent countless peoples livesspiraling out o control.

Homelessness has no ace, saidJimmy Dimartinis o the Win-chester Rescue Mission. Manythings can bring it on.Painters curriculum along with

the orum representatives dedi-cation has already inspired manystudents to take real action in thecommunity, as a result o theirincreased awareness and newlyacquired perspectives on home-lessness.However, both students and o-

cials o the orum agreed thatshedding the exterior negativereputation attached with home-lessness would be the biggestchallenge or uture generationsin dealing with this ever-growingquandary o society.I dont think homelessness will

ever be solved in my lietime be-cause o the attached stigma, saidCCAP Director Ricketts.Despite the steadast and rigor-

ous challenges homelessness pres-ents to those who combat it, theyremain determined to provide thesimple provisions o lie that makea person eel more like a humanbeing to those in dire need.Dimartinis, the aorementioned

ocial rom the Winchester Res-cue Mission, conronted the stu-dents o Sherando High-Schoolin attendance with a resonatingchallenge in the closing minuteso the orum.I challenge you to make a di-

erence, said Dimartinis. Oneperson can make a change.

I dont thinkhomelessness

Will you be ready?By Meghan MoesleinFrederick County Report

Te Center or Disease Control(CDC) launched a new campaignrecently in order to help every-one be prepared in the ace o anemergency. Teir advice?Prepare or the zombie apoca-

lypse, and be prepared or any-thing.Just as in a zombie attack, there

are a ew steps you can take toprepare yoursel or real-lieemergencies, said Dave Daigle,associate director OPHPR com-munication oce.On the silver screen they can

have super human strength, andmove with great stealth, or theycan be slow and intense with aninsatiable urge to devour brains.No matter what their skillset theyall have one thing in common, inorder to survive, everyone has tobe prepared.

Families/neighbors can copewith disaster by preparing inadvance and working together asteam, Daigle said. Create a di-

saster plan including a communi-cation plan, disaster supplies kit,and an evacuation plan. Knowingwhat to do is your best protectionand your responsibility.Disaster, or zombie attacks,

could happen without warning, inthe blink o an eye. Most recentlya tornado tore through Missouri,

leaving 116 dead, and the countcontinues to rise.I disaster strikes your commu-

nity, you might not have accessto ood, water or electricity orsome time. By taking time nowto prepare emergency water sup-plies, ood supplies and disastersupplies kit, you can provide or your entire amily, said Daigle.Even though it is unlikely thatan emergency would cut of yourood supplies or two weeks, con-sider maintaining a supply thatwill last that long.Aside rom keeping a supply o

non-perishable ood and water

on hand, it is also important toprepare an emergency evacuationplan or the amily home. Anevacuation plan can help am-

ily members get out saely andmeet all together in a speciedlocation. In the event the amilyis separated when the emergencystrikes a meeting place will helpkeep track o members who maynot have been in the home.Having an emergency escape

plan in place and practicing that

plan can save lives, said Daigle.Gov. Bob McDonnell has beenmaking his way through Virginiawith the same message o pre-paredness as hurricane seasonarrives June 1.For the last several weeks in

Virginia we have seen rst-handhow extreme weather eventscan take lives, as well as destroyhomes, disrupt businesses andburden amilies, said McDonnell.As we recover rom the historicoutbreak o tornadoes, we needto be especially mindul thathurricane and ooding season israpidly approaching. I urge every

citizen o the Commonwealthto take the appropriate steps toprotect themselves and theirproperty.

Hindsight Is 20/20

As Matt Kenseth charitablypointed out, had it not been orlate caution ags, his Roush Fen-way teammate, Carl Edwards,might have won the last twoSprint Cup races.

Kenseth, o course, could a-ord to be understanding, sinceit was he, not Edwards, who wonthe FedEx 400 at Dover Interna-tional Speedway.

In spite o all the Mondaymorning crew chies who havebeen insisting ever since thecheckered ag waved that Ed-wards, Jimmie Johnson and ClintBowyer collectively botched therace, blew the victory, struck outand umbled the ball, its reallymuch more complicated thanhindsight would seem to sug-gest.

In recent years, a certain odd-

ity gradually has become appar-ent. When the strategic situa-tion that decided the seasons11th Sprint Cup race arises, theleaders are sitting ducks. What-ever they do dictates what otherdrivers do. I the leaders changeour tires, the next group will

either change two, as in thecase o Kenseth, or not changeany, which was good enough tosecure second place or MarkMartin.

As Johnson said, I knew wewere outnumbered once wecame of pit road, and so manyguys who had taken two ordidnt stop ... I knew we were introuble.

I only he had known that be-ore he came of pit road ...

When the leaders stay on thetrack, or change two tires, thenext group probably changesour. Te situation at Dover madeit even more complicated. Rainshad limited practice. No one hadreally studied how much asterour resh tires were than two.In practice, they ran with our

tires that had been placed on thecars at once. Until near the endo the race, most everyone duti-ully changed all our tires dur-

ing each visit to the pits.Edwards, Johnson and

Bowyer all played it sae. Teyseemed to have the astest cars,so it would stand to reason thatthe best way to keep it that waywould be to complete the raceon resh rubber.

What they perhaps didntrealize was that Kenseth had aast car, too. He had just neverquite been able to show it at theront o the pack, largely becausehe had started 4th and spentmuch o the race trying to estab-lish track position. Te act thatJohnson had started rst hadmuch to do with the act that heled 07 laps.

But, said Kenseth, I knewone o the rst three cars onthe restart was going to win therace. Te rubber (rom tire wear)would build up (on the track)and make it almost impossibleto pass.

Kenseth quickly got pastMartin because he had the tireadvantage. Bowyer, Edwards andJohnson nished sixth, seventh

and ninth, respectively, because,once trapped back in the pack,they couldnt get ree o trac.

Now it all seems crystal clear,

but it wasnt really a no-braineruntil everyone took his chances.Kenseth pulled out his second

victory o the season becausehe and crew chie Jimmy Fennigmade the right call.

A baseball expert once saidthat i a certain manager wrotea book about strategy, it wouldbe titled Let Tem Play and SeeWhat Happens.

Substitute the word raceor play, and thats pretty muchthe story o the FedEx 400s nallaps.
