IS IT TRUE we are hearing that a couple of candidates running for elected office in the upcoming General election are doing research on how many contracts the city is awarding to out of town consultants, vendors or contractors? …we can already predict the answers? …the answer is to many?

IS IT TRUE our Computer IT guy told us last week the reason why we are having computer issues is because we have 13,664 posts, 5,321 picture images, 72,167 comments and 84,931 spams posted on our site? …we are presently working on trashing the 84,931 spans posted on our site? …we also will be addressing other archive issues in order to speed up our website? …we thank you for your patience’s?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why the City, DMD, State and Federal Agencies, past Alhambra Board of Directors and others didn’t do proper research concerning the best use for the Alhambra Theatre before raising many hundred of thousand of dollars to restore it to its grand state? …the restoration efforts have been remarkable, however, this building needs a purpose?  … letting this building sit idle will be allowing the building to deteriorate again?

Disease is the Reason for Outdoor Awareness Season

Tick-borne Illnesses Can Cause Problems Such as Lyme Disease

By Scott Thomas

Today is the first of June.  School is out in most counties.  Summer is upon us, which brings on the outdoors: camping, fishing, barbeques and more.  This time of year, many prepare for the season’s dangers by educating their family and friends such as campfire safety, sunscreen use to prevent sunburn and the eventual firework safety closer to 4th of July time.  However, one epidemic that is often less discussed but still rather important is Lyme disease.

Charity Doane, 30, a local Evansville Area woman, has battled Lyme disease since 2007.  Recently her efforts has been focused on raising awareness and prevention of blacklegged tick bites in addition to raising funds to provide for her own care.  Treatment can prove costly in the area of $1,000 monthly for nine months to two years.

According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks.  Only about 20,000 to 200,000 cases are reported in the United States each year.

Though not as prominent in Indiana, the most common cases of Borrelia burgdorferi are found in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, from northeastern Virginia to Maine in addition to the north-central states, mostly in Wisconsin and Minnesota as well as the West Coast, particularly northern California.

Another famous case of Lyme disease is the wife of Grammy Award Winning Producer & Songwriter David Foster.  His wife, Yolanda, is also a star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo.  The show has served as a platform as she chronicles her journey fighting against Lyme disease as well.

Even our former Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2007.  He received treatment following a tick bite assumed to have occurred during a regular bike ride.  It was detected by the observation made of a rash on his skin.

Prevention begins by taking care and showing concern for the outdoors.  Be sure to use insect repellent and pesticides.  Also be prepared by conducting self-inspections to check for ticks.  Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated with the use of antibiotics in the first few weeks.

Between the first three to thirty days, symptoms can include fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes.  Erythema migrans (EM) can also develop.  These red, expanding rashes may appear on the skin.

The CDC also reports that ‘Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne illness in the United States. In 2013, it was the fifth most common Nationally Notifiable disease. However this disease does not occur nationwide and is concentrated heavily in the northeast and upper Midwest.’  For more information regarding Lyme disease from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), visit their website at http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/index.html.

0

Elfreich attains the highest level of credentialing from the National Association of Certified Child Forensic Interviewers (NACCFI) Credentialing Board, the Diplomate Child Forensic Interviewer (DCFI) certification.

 

(Evansville, Ind.) Holly’s House is pleased to announce that Molly Elfreich, Assistant Director and Forensic Interviewer, has attained the highest level of credentialing from the National Association of Certified Child Forensic Interviewers (NACCFI) Credentialing Board, the Diplomate Child Forensic Interviewer (DCFI) certification. The DCFI certification indicates advanced and expert level practice experience and training, existing legal and psychometric requirements.  The National Association of Certified Child Forensic Interviewers (NACCFI) is the only professional credentialing program for child forensic interviewers in the United States.  NACCFI was founded on June 16, 2006 on the principle that conducting child forensic interviews should only be performed by properly trained and credentialed practitioners in compliance with the universally accepted standards of the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).  The NACCFI multi-tiered credentialing standards include; actual work experience in the profession, specialized evidenced based forensic interview training, evidence of good moral and ethical conduct and a commitment by the credentialed practitioner to the pursuit of continues learning and skill building in the practice of their profession. The primary mission of the NACCFI Credentialing Board is protecting the welfare and safety of the clients we serve and the public’s trust and confidence in the professional practice of child forensic interviewing.

 

Currently, Elfreich is the only person in Indiana to hold this advanced certification. 54 people hold this designation in the United States, three in Latin America, and two in Canada. Sidney Hardgrave, Holly’s House Executive Director, said, “Molly’s achievement speaks to her dedication and commitment in being the area expert in child forensic interviewing. Holly’s House, and the community, is fortunate to have such talented person available to insure that interviews are conducted in an ethical manner while preserving criminal evidence and making the child victim feel at ease.” Holly’s House interviews over 300 sexually abused children a year.
