I caught an edge and i was trying to avoid this tree. And then i caught another edge and went boom, right into the tree. I just stopped. I could not feel my legs. Blake mendenhall of napa spoke with me while recovering in a reno hospital. He crashed into a tree while snowboard at a tahoe ski resort sunday afternoon.

The family, says blake, has undergone multiple hours of neurosurgery and has rods holding his s
I have another question. Just like to remind the commissioner, we have a full agenda. You say the current residents will not be affected. The current residents of these housing generally are elders, seniors, many housing, you do have Young Children. The Young Children it could be a couple of years old or teenagers. You know, they are currently residing with their mothers. Are you covering those Young Children too when they get older. When they currently, under the 29 properties, seven of them are designated as family buildings. Hump designate family . Seven. Thats just the designation meaning that if you to apply to get in there, you will be applying to those children. There are grandparents that are taking care of their children. I understand that. Thats the designation per hud. Basically if you are on lease on the property, then you are part this program. You are eligible for the temporary relocation for being on lease. We did run a huge ad Family Member campaign for the last couple
Should have. We sent a letter indicating our concerns and input. At the meeting, we also had ann hintton give update about the scan grant that we received. Which was about 10,000. The purpose of that grant was to have our staff mentor three other counties to develop their Long Term Care integration plans. Bill haskell who was our former staff person along with ann hintton worked together with three different counties in california. Specifically ventura, stanislaus and yolo counties to put together their Long Term Care integration plan. Theyve done that and now theyre going to be submitting to to the scan foundation. We completed the work that we were given the money to do. In the meantime, our department is submitting another grant with scan and so scan will consider our grant proposal to continue the work. The other item we had on the agenda would highlight the event that we had to commemorate our tenth anniversary of the down sill. That was on october 23rd. Maureen took a lot of phot

They didnt want to change the Food Voucher Program because they were used to that for over 20 years. Anyway, in may, 2014, they had a procurement meeting with all the different vendors. They look at different models how they can implement this because resources are pretty scarce and they didnt have the type of infrastructure that we have, but they have restaurants and they have schools, they looked at schools. But finely they nothing that i have went with was working with caterers and having the restaurants be able to provide the food for the different senters that they will offer the new program. There are 15 new sites where they started this program in different parts of the island. Interestingly they wanted to start out with a few pilot programs, but nobody wanted to start so they said oh the heck with it. This is a sample of the me
Volunteers was different in the islands than here. They train the seniors, theyre able to use them as food service aids helping with the new service. These are just some very few highlights of the visit back in january of last year. On the very top is the chief ali and he met with the seniors at the Samoan Community Development Center to get their insights and also get their feedback of what works for them here in the city and they took a lot of the ideas back. And we visited several new sites, including 30th street. This is a sample of the meals served there. Also this Senior Center so they have an idea, the meals can be very appealing.
