Sheriff Jode Zavesky and the Dewitt County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce that Deputy Patrick Charlton has been named DeWitt
County Project Lifesaver Coordinator

Deputy Charlton has been with the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office since 2006 where he began work as a jailor. Deputy Charlton will
continue his patrol duties and will ensure all PLS equipment is maintained as well as making monthly contacts with our clients. In
August 2003 Zavesky, then a Constable, along with the Cuero Nursing &Rehabilitation, and the Stevens Nursing Home of Yoakum, became
interested in the program. This the nation’s most effective program for locating and rescuing missing Alzheimer’s, Autism, Down
Syndrome, and related dementia-type disorders. Upon learning that DeWitt County had 1,300 persons with symptoms of Alzheimer’s, Sheriff
Zavesky and other individuals began to search for funds to make this service available to this area. M.G. & Lillie Johnson Foundation
of Victoria gave a grant of $5,000 and Stevens Nursing Home gave $2,100. This began the program for DeWitt County.
Zavesky began looking for a facility to receive his training. “Our neighbor, Victoria, Texas has the honor of being the first in the State
of Texas to initiate this program in January of 2003,” he said. “They had already begun to train volunteers.” At this time, DeWitt County
has 19 trained operators (searchers) and additional classes are planned. When the DeWitt County program is in full swing, there will be
between 30 and 40 people in different locations in the county who will be trained and able to operate the electronic tracking equipment
. They will also receive training in methods to communicate with a person who has Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders. Many times
the individual is disoriented, anxious and untrusting.

This program is the only program which is based upon an exclusive partnership with local sheriff, police, fire and other public safety
agencies trained and equipped to accomplish this critical life saving mission. DeWitt County agencies participating in the PLS program
with DCSO are Yoakum Fire Department, Yorktown Fire Department and Yorktown EMS and Yorktown Police Department.
Project Lifesaver is a free service to anyone in need, but donations are accepted to purchase the transmitters and batteries.

DID ANY OF YOU USE THIS INFORMATION BELOW TO CALCULATE YOU AND YOUR PARTNERS INCOME TAX????

Did you know some Canadian residents can split up to half of their eligible pension income with their spouse or common-law partner.
Income splitting allows some seniors to receive a substantial tax reduction. Tax software packages like H&R Block AT Home will
automatically determine the best income split to get the most tax savings.

Project Lifesaver receives donation from Division of Senior Services

Newton N.J. USA

Sheriff Strada recently accepted a donation on behalf of his office from the Sussex County Division of Senior Services. The monetary
donation was used to purchase Project Lifesaver equipment, including a mobile locator tracking system.

Project Lifesaver is an international program that assists sheriff’s personnel in locating individuals who have wandered away from home
due to Alzheimer’s, autism, Down syndrome, dementia and other related cognitive disorders. The Sussex County Sheriff’s Office has
offered the Project Lifesaver program to county residents since 2005.

Citizens enrolled in Project Lifesaver wear a small personal transmitter around their wrist or ankle that emits an individualized
tracking signal. If an enrolled client goes missing, the caregiver notifies the sheriff’s office and a trained emergency team responds
to the wanderer’s area to begin searching using a mobile locator tracking system.

Most who wander are found within a few miles of their homes and search times for these individuals have been reduced from hours and days
to minutes. The average recovery time to locate a Project Lifesaver client is 30 minutes—that’s 95% less time than standard recovery
operations.

The Sussex County Division of Senior Services is a county department mandated by the federal government as part of the Older Americans
Act. It serves as a connection for the elderly to services and programs designed to support seniors’ independence and quality of life.
The mission of the division is to enable older individuals and/or their caregivers to choose from a coordinated system of services that allows seniors to live as independently as possible in their homes and in their communities while enjoying a dignified quality of life.

Sheriff Strada, expressing his gratitude for the donation, thanked Lorraine Hentz for her agency’s continued commitment to improving the
quality of life for our county’s seniors.

Life Lessons
(Gail M.)

When you say that you agree with something in principle, it means that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out in
practice.

The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser ? in case you thought optimism was dead.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Depend on the rabbit?s foot if you will, but remember: it didn?t work for the rabbit.

Beauty comes from within. Within jars, tubes, bottles and compacts.

Never moon a werewolf.

?Easy? is a word you use to describe other people?s jobs.

Success is a matter of luck. Ask any failure.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

There is no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn?t tell you all about it?

The surest way to be out of fashion tomorrow is to be in the forefront of it today.

Accept that some days you?re the pigeon, and some days you?re the statue

FROM/DE: Essex County OPP DATE: Friday March 2, 2012
“Project Lifesaver” Locates Missing Kingsville Alzheimer’s Woman
 

(KINGSVILLE, ON) On March 01, 2012 at 4:16 pm, Kingsville  OPP officers responded to a report of a 77 year old female missing for 30 minutes from her apartment in a large complex located in the town of Kingsville. The female was afflicted with dementia and there was considerable concern for her safety. The female was also outfitted with an electronic tracking bracelet from Project Lifesaver that emitted identifiable signal which could be used to track the missing woman.
 
On duty, specially-trained electronic search specialist with the Essex County OPP Detachment attended the scene and using the tracking equipment quickly located the woman eight (8) minutes later. The woman had wandered into another apartment in the complex.
 
Inspector Rick Derus of the Essex County OPP credits the Project Lifesaver Program with the quick and successful resolution of this search. He stated “Project Lifesaver” is a valuable program that provides the Police the tools necessary to help protect the most vulnerable of society. Locating quickly  those that have medical conditions with a tendency to wander offers an extra safety net to caregivers and saves valuable police resources normally expended for a search of this urgency.
 

Background

 
Project Lifesaver Has been in existence in Essex County  since 2006 and is administered in partnership with the OPP through the charitable agency “Windsor-Essex Project Lifesaver”. The program originated in Chesapeake Virginia in 1999 under the direction of Project Lifesaver International Chief Gene Saunders.
 
At risk individuals enrolled in Project Lifesaver wear a small personal transmitter around the wrist or ankle
 that emits an individualized tracking signal. If an enrolled client goes missing, the caregiver notifies the
 police who respond to the scene with specialized tracking equipment. Most who wander are found within a few miles from home and search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. Recovery times for Project Lifesaver clients average 30 minutes or less, which is 95% less time than standard operations. 
 
TO Date, missing Project Lifesaver clients have been successfully located 2,493 times.

Businesses used to have slogans like “If you’re not satisfied, we’re not satisfied” but to get a response about a consumer complaint, you had to line up at a counter or make a lot of phone calls. Jokes about inattentive complaints departments were legion.  New technology however may be changing that, given that a complainant can now raise concerns fast and spread them around to many friends to know of the problem.  Store mangers now realize they have to nip these concerns in the bud or lose a lot of customer good will.  Westjet airlines has recognized the problem and is now reaching out to customers who make complaints via Twitter. They are quick to ask for more information and quick to try to make it right and apologize.  Scott Radford of the Haskayne School of Business says that with Twitter, employers can even be proactive and incorporate the response as company policy. Alison Roberts of Craft Beer Market says that Twitter can be a boon to business too if customers like your product.  Shaw Communications head Peter Bissonnette says that Facebook and Twitter messaging has become so common about his company’s service that he asks all employees including executive to check with customers several times a week.  The downside may be that since Twitter is immediate some customers expect instant response. Alison Robertson admits that if there is only one person in the restaurant managing the Twitter feedback it may be impossible to get back to everyone instantly

Guelph Ontario senior safe and sound after being reported missing

GUELPH — City police have located a missing Guelph man, 80.

The man, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, was last seen leaving his residence Thursday morning. He was found shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Metcalfe Street and Winston Crescent, in good condition, and taken home after a police search and calls from two individuals. That was a relief to the police service.

“The evening was getting colder, which caused us great concern,” Sgt. Doug Pflug stated in a release. He reminded residents of Project Lifesaver, launched earlier this month. It helps keep track of people suffering cognitive impairment, through transmitters they wear on bracelets that provides their location information.

Information is available through Victim Services Wellington,       519-824-1212, ext. 205.

Despite the good intentions of many charitable organizations, scandals have arisen when it became known that a few charities spend a large proportion of their fundraising on themselves, on staff and on the effort to get contributions.  To help the public determine what charities are in good standing an online service has been set up called Charity Intelligence Canada.  It looks at the state of 100 charities.   Bri Trupuc of the organization says there is a big business now in professional fundraising and some charities operate like ‘major marketing machines’.  There are 85,630 registered charities in Canada but the top 100 get 1/3 of all the donations.  When Charity Intelligence asked for disclosure, 19 charities did not comply and the organization had to make an official request for information about them from the Canada Revenue Agency.  The group hopes to eventually post information about 1000 charities on its site.

The Project Lifesaver Association of Nova Scotia delivers the program connected to these bracelets, equipping Time is of the essence when it comes to finding a lost child with Autism or an elderly Alzheimer patient. Confused and afraid, they may not even respond when searchers call their name.

A new program administrated by Yarmouth County Ground Search and Rescue (YCGSR) has the potential to cut the search time from hours to minutes for these individuals if they are wearing a personalized one-ounce bracelet that emits a unique automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day.

YCGSR received two radio frequency tracking units, ($4,500 each provided by EMO Nova Scotia through the New Initiatives Fund - NIF). Members completed their Project Lifesaver training in January and are now selling bracelets containing a personal locator unit for $300 each, plus a $25 monthly fee for battery replacement through VON.

Volunteers provided a demonstration of a search recently in an environment that was a complete departure from the brush, swamp and forested landscapes they usually tramp. Instead their search area was the Rodd Grand Hotel.

Urban tracking presents challenges that include metal infrastructures and interfering frequencies. But at the Rodd Grand Hotel volunteers were able to locate a hidden personal located unit within 10 minutes.

“With this equipment we can track someone throughout the building instead of going from room to room, cutting the search time greatly, from hours to minutes,” said president Corey Burke.

Their lives are priceless. - Ann Harrington, mother of two young Autistic children.

Ground search and rescue volunteer Ann Harrington has two young Autistic children. She says the cost of the bracelets doesn’t dissuade her a bit.

Their lives are priceless,” she said, sharing a story about her daughter Kate.“

When she was five, she slipped out of the house at 5:30 a.m. when everyone was sleeping, despite having audible alarms on the doors and windows. She was gone during a March Break snowstorm for four hours and was found very hypothermic. If we had this she would have been found right away,” she said.

In total, EMO received $273,432 for receivers that will be assigned to all 24 of Nova Scotia’s Ground Search and Rescue Units that wish to have them. Each personal locator unit emits coded radio signals unique to each user for that community. The transmitter has an approximate range of 1.6 km under ideal conditions

 Though helmets are now common place for children riding bikes, playing hockey, doing in line skating and with avid discussion of their use for snowmobiles and ATVs, another sport is also changing its rules in that regard. A U of Calgary study in 2007 found that those horseback riding have the same risks of head trauma after a fall as those who play rugby, and a higher risk than those who race cars, play football or ski. As a result the Alberta 4-H club has decided this month to require rookie horseback riders and anyone born after 2000 to wear helmets.  2700 young Albertans compete in 4-H each year.  The British Columbia and Ontario 4-H clubs already have such legislation in place.

Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy

Police say a special transmitter bracelet helped to save the day for a seven-year-old girl who wandered away from home along Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy shoreline. RCMP and search and rescue personnel responded to the report of the missing autistic child near Margaretsville around 4:30 p.m. Friday. Luckily, the girl was wearing the radio wrist transmitter, which sent out tracking signals in the heavily wooded area.

Const. Paul Landry of the RCMP’s Middleton detachment said the transmissions led searchers trained by Project Lifesaver in the right direction. Landry said they found the girl near a stream around 6:15 p.m. and she appeared to be fine. “We had a general idea where she may be … but she wasn’t found when the mother looked in a few spots,” Landry said in an interviewn Saturday. “So we knew that she had this bracelet and we got in contact with ground search and rescue, who had the capability to track her. Once they came out they actually found her in probably 20 or 25 minutes from the time they opened up their antenna and started searching.”

The Project Lifesaver website said the non-profit organization equips and trains search and rescue agencies to find people who wander. The organization said the technology is especially useful in cases involving those with autism or Alzheimer’s disease. Landry said local search and rescue teams are keen to let people know about the technology and how it works, “so that other jurisdictions will come on board to start using it.”

He said it could be useful in a number of circumstances. “For us a lot of times, when we’re conducting a search … sometimes people, whatever their condition is, young or old, they’re scared of hearing people coming through the woods and they’ll run away from you.”

NOW YOU KNOW

 (Dorothy M.)

Why do men’s clothes have buttons on the right while women’s clothes have buttons on the left?
A: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid’s right!  And that’s where women’s buttons have remained since.
 
Q: Why do ships and aircraft use ‘mayday’ as their call for help?
A: This comes from the French word m’aidez -meaning ‘help me’ — and is pronounced, approximately, ‘mayday.’
 
Q: Why are zero scores in tennis called ‘love’?
A: In France , where tennis became popular, round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called
l’oeuf,’ which is French for ‘egg.’ When tennis was introduced in the US ,  Americans (mis)pronounced it
 ’love.’
 
Q. Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify kisses?
A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.
 
Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called ‘passing the buck’?
A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing,he would ‘pass the buck’ to the next player.
 
Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?
A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously.  When a guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host’s glass with his own.
 

Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be ‘in the limelight’?

A:Invented in 1825,limelight was used in lighthouses and theatres by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre,a performer ‘in the limelight’ was the centre of attention.
 

Q: Why is someone who is feeling great ‘on cloud nine’?
A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.
 
Q: In golf, where did the term ‘Caddie’ come from?
A. When Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl,Louis, King of France , learned that she loved the Scots game ‘golf.’ So he had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned  (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced  ‘ca-day’ and the Scots changed it into ‘caddie.
 

Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called ‘pygg’. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as ‘pygg banks.’ When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a container that resembled a pig. And it caught on.
 
Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches (milling), while pennies and nickels do not?
A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren’t notched because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave.

So there !  Now you know !

The House of Commons Finance Committee has submitted to parliament its 152 page report of recommendations for the upcoming budget. The committee in the past has reported to a minority government but this year, reporting to a government in majority position, its recommendations are more likely to take effect. Among its recommendations are

-providing the tax option of income splitting to all households once the budget is balanced

-doubling the $5000 per year tax-free savings account limit

-eliminating the deficit in four years, and doing this by limiting new spending commitments and keeping transfers to the provinces at the current level only

-reviewing public sector pensions

Alzheimer’s Patient Reunited with Family Thanks to Project Lifesaver
CHATHAM COUNTY, GA —

Project Lifesaver is being credited with helping authorities reunite an Alzheimer’s patient with her family. Deputies were dispatched at 2:17 Wednesday afternoon from the elderly woman’s daughter who said her mother had walked away from their home in the 1800 block of East Gwinnett Street.

Nearly two dozen Street Operations deputies responded along with the Chatham County Mosquito Control helicopter to search for the woman. Once in the air, CCSO Sgt. James Moore and pilot Scott Yekel were able to determine that the 82 year old was in the Strathmore Estates neighborhood.

By 2:48 deputies located her in the 2200 block of Iowa Street. The woman, whose name was not released, was returned to her family. Officials say this was the first recovery of a Project Lifesaver client in Chatham County since its launch in the county in 2009.

Project Lifesaver is also used to help find patients with dementia, Autism and Down Syndrome.

Better than paper towels:  COFFEE FILTERS
(Robert S.)

Who knew!  And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for $1.00, even the large ones.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome…  Coffee filters are lint-free so they’ll leave windows sparkling.

3.  Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

4.  Filter broken cork from wine.  If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5.  Protect a cast-iron skillet.  Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6.  Apply shoe polish.  Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7.  Recycle frying oil.  After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8.  Weigh chopped foods.  Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9.  Hold tacos.  Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10.  Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot.  Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11.  Prevent a Popsicle from dripping.  Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12.  Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows?  Use strips of coffee filters..

13.  Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them..  It soaks out all the grease.

14.  Keep in the bathroom.  They make great “razor nick fixers.”

15.  As a sewing backing.  Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliquéing soft fabrics.

16.  Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odours.
17.  Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.

18.  Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.

19.  Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.

20.  Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.  Saves on having extra bowls to wash.

21.  Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.

22.  Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.

23.  Use them to sprout seeds.  Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds
inside, fold it and place it into a zip-lock plastic bag until they sprout.

24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers.  Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book.

25.  Use as a disposable “snack bowl” for popcorn, chips, etc.

OH YEAH ~ THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS TOO!

 The government of Saskatchewan has embarked on an innovative way to fund seniors’ care, to cut down on costs of institutional settings and to permit seniors to live in the care location and style they prefer. The “Saskatchewan Direct Client Funding Program’ funds the care itself and lets the client choose who provides it. There is in essence the option of a family member being paid to provide care, up to $3000 a month as income replacement. The amount helps match money saved by not having to provide nursing home care and ensures good care because of early enough intervention.  The money can be spent on groceries, salary of caregiver or any other care expense but not on travel or illicit drugs.

The system is already in operation as a pilot project and there is less bureaucracy than in earlier funding arrangements.  Researchers are fining there is easier transition also from one style of care and back if necessary because money flows with the client.  A case manager closely monitors the first month of the care and then watches for later signs of any problems.  The goal of enhanced quality of life has already been achieved by some clients who praise the government for setting up a plan that attends to the client’s priorities and lets them face end of life issues based on their own values.

Guelph senior safe and sound after being reported missing

GUELPH — City police have located a missing Guelph man, 80. The man, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, was last seen leaving his residence Thursday morning. He was found shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Metcalfe Street and Winston Crescent, in good condition, and taken home after a police search and calls from two individuals.

That was a relief to the police service. “The evening was getting colder, which caused us great concern,” Sgt. Doug Pflug stated in a release.He reminded residents of Project Lifesaver, launched earlier this month. It helps keep track of people suffering cognitive impairment, through transmitters they wear on bracelets that provides their location information.

Information is available through Victim Services Wellington, 519-824-1212, ext. 205.

GREAT TRUTHS 
(Bernadette O.)

1. In my many years I  have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and  three or more is a congress.

– Mark  Twain

3. Suppose you were an  idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat  myself.

– Mark  Twain

4. I contend that for  a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket  and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

– Winston  Churchill

5. A government which  robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of  Paul.

– George Bernard  Shaw

6. A liberal is  someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay  off with your money.

8. Foreign aid might  be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich  people in poor countries.

– Douglas Casey,  Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown  University

9. Giving money and  power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage  boys.

– P.J. O’Rourke,  Civil Libertarian

10. Government is the  great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of  everybody else.

– Frederic Bastiat,  French economist(1801-1850)

11. Government’s view  of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.  If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize  it.

12. I don’t make  jokes. I just watch the government and report the  facts.

–  Aesop

FIVE  BEST SENTENCES

1.   You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the  wealth out of prosperity.

2.  What one person receives  without working for…another person must work for without  receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that  the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You  cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5. When half of the people  get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going  to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no  good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for,  that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

Can you think of a  reason for not sharing this?   Neither could I……
