2012 Summer Camp by Kassidy Sedore

Growing up with relatives in the field, I had always wanted to work at New Horizons. When I was finally old enough, I applied to be a Direct Support Professional. I was no longer twelve years old begging John to let me work summer camp. The June 2012 summer camp was my first time working the full week of camp and I was extremely excited! I was just as excited as the children enrolled, if not more! As the little ones arrived, many couldn’t wait to start the day. They were dashing to go play on the playground before their parents could even say goodbye! All of the staff knew it was going to be a fun-filled, action packed week that would tire both us and the children out.

Watching the children enjoy themselves by engaging in so many activities made me wish that summer camp lasted more than four days. We went to the Children’s Museum and Jump 4 Fun where they were entertained for hours by creating their own radio stations, riding in the play fire trucks, and bouncing and climbing in bouncy obstacles even after their legs were exhausted. It was hard to get them to leave to go to lunch! We went swimming at the Town of Clinton Recreational Park where they enjoyed swimming, building sand castles, and playing on the playground. Horseback riding was another popular activity of the week. On the

last day we went to the Norwalk Aquarium where we were able to touch the stingrays, look at sea turtles, jellyfish, and fish that were bigger than us! The June 2012 summer camp was definitely a success. The children and staff had a wonderful time encounter-ing new experiences together. I am so thankful for being able to participate in the wonderful opportunity of working with the children and putting smiles on their faces every day.

Congratulations to Donna Newkirk (Residence Coordinator, Clintondale)

for being selected as NHR’s Employee of the Month!

Donna’s nomination said the following: “She is always encouraging the individuals to get out, get involved in activities and finding the staff-ing to make this happen! We are a tough house, staffing wise, because of the two one-on-ones but, she always manages to work with it. She makes it possible for each person to be in-volved with whatever it may be that interests them!

During the month of April she made it possible for each person to go on a day outing! (mentioned in the May newsletter) The staff

are also a part of this process but I believe it really comes down to Donna mak-ing it happen! She is the real inspiration to get the residents of Clintondale to go out and about in the community!

She also always has a positive attitude when coming into work!”

Donna will receive a $50 gift certificate to the location of her choice for being

selected Employee of the Month. Please congratulate her when you see her!

Dance Recital by Hope Badroe On 6/16/2012, Janet Collentine participated in a dance recital at Dover Middle School. She danced to 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson. Through the CQL process, and person centered planning process, Janet shared her hopes and dreams to become a musician and dancer. We started the process in finding a place for her to learn to dance. On Mondays she attends the American Stardom Dance Academy. We also bought her a guitar. Today, Janet strums her guitar and sings at home; she also plays her guitar at Odyssey when she goes to church on Sundays. These were Janet's words as her sister was complimenting her on her dancing ability, "MY DREAM CAME TRUE." This is the true meaning of supporting someone's dreams and aspirations. Janet was so happy, the smile on her face was worth catching. As I reflected on her on stage I said, "This is why I work with people; it is about touching lives and creating change, one person at a time." Congratulations Janet!

Visit to the Fire Station by Tim Sweeney Quincy went to visit LaGrange Fire Station #1 with me in early June. Company #1, which is now named the S. W. Phelps Company #1, meets on the 1st Wednesday of each month. Quincy met all the guys and gals and will be voted in next month as an official social member of LaGrange Fire Company #1. Quincy will assist in preparing all FIRE and EMS vehicles for service and will be eligible to attend all company activities. He is pictured inside LaGrange Tanker Truck 47-31.

TBall by Mary McNamara Anyone who knows Chris Barrett, who lives at the Stormville IRA, knows that he is an avid sports fan. He is faithful to the Yankees and the Jets. Chris is also the older brother to two twin girls, and is very good with children. Over the past few months, Chris has used his love of baseball and his talent with kids to volunteer as my assistant coach for my daughters Tball league. Chris was at every game, cheering on his team and acting as batting coach as well as first base coach. The kids loved “Coach Chris” and presented him with a water bottle with a team photo on it on the last day of the season. He will also be leading the “Amenia Green Frogs” in the Amenia Forth of July Parade! Thanks Chris, we would not have wanted to do it without you!

Here are a few things to remember before going outside during the summer. An overcast day can still cause a nasty sunburn, so please follow these steps

Sunblock SPF 30 or greater should be applied before going out in the sun and reapplied every few hours and after swimming. Please be aware of those individuals who are outside at work and program. Apply sunblock each morning.

Pack plenty of water and stay hydrated. Hotter days and physical activity require more water.

Wear a hat and cool light colored clothing

Look for areas of shade to take shelter from the hot sun or bring an umbrella or tent to create your own shade.

Take frequent breaks during physical activities to prevent heat illness/stroke.

SYMPTIOMS OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESS include profuse sweating, cool pale skin, headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, muscle cramps. These symptoms can progress to heat stroke which is life threatening.

SYMPTOMS OF HEAT STROKE include hot dry flush skin, shallow breathing, rapid weak pulse, changes in consciousness. In the event of any of these symptoms get the person out of the sun

immediately and call 911.

So far Summer 2012 has been a bright and sunny one with very warm temperatures. The tick population is also very high this year due to the unusually warm winter we had. Please read below for tips to enjoy the beautiful weather and stay safe at the same time.

Summer months bring a host of insects including stinging insects, mosquitoes, and ticks. Here are tips for prevention and treatment of insect bites:

Bees and other stinging insects- Please be aware of who is allergic and who has an EPIPEN. The EPIPEN should go everywhere with the individual incase of a sting. In the case of a sting apply ice to the area and observe for swelling. If the person exhibits difficulty breathing or significant swelling call 911.

Mosquitos– These insects can carry West Nile Virus. Prevention of mosquito bites is key. Dump any standing water on the property including bird bathes, old tires, small pools, etc. Changing water frequently eliminates sur-vival chances of mosquito larvae. Also when going out apply insect repellent to clothing being careful to avoid areas of sensitive skin and eyes.

Ticks– Ticks carry a host of diseases including Lyme Disease. These tiny insects live in grass and wooded areas. When going in these environments wear light colored clothing, cover as much skin as possible and use insect repel-lent. Check individuals when returning from outdoor activities. Ticks hide in hair and crevices but may be anywhere. If a tick is found remove it immediately. Removing an attached tick– use needle nose tweezers or two thin sided credit cards to grasp the ticks head against the skin and gently pull straight up. Symptoms of Lyme disease Ob-serve the area for signs of rash which may appear in a bulls eye shape. This rash may develop up to one month after being bitten. Other symptoms include muscle and joint stiffness or soreness, fatigue, fever, headache, nausea, swol-len glands, stiff neck and other flu like symptoms.

BBQ’s and Picnic’s provide an array of delicious foods. However these foods can be a breeding ground for bacteria if they are not kept at proper temperatures. Foods containing mayonnaise, eggs, or meat should not be left out for more than one hour and should be kept on ice. When transporting these dishes pack in well insulated coolers

with several icepacks. CHOKING—picnics also provide many foods which are easily choked on, please be prepared to chop or cut foods for those with swallowing difficulties.

Heat-related illnesses and deaths are preventable. People suffer heat-related illness when their bodies are unable to cool down properly, especially in high temperatures and high humidity. People at greatest risk for heat-related illness are the elderly, the very young, people with acute/chronic illness, those with cognitive impairments, and people taking certain medications. Taking Precautions:

• Be aware of the heat, and modify or reschedule outdoor activities accordingly. • Stay in air conditioned areas whenever possible and stay in the shade when out-doors. • Drink plenty of fluids, limit caffeine, and eat well-balanced, light, and regular meals. • Wear loose fitting, lightweight, and light-colored clothing. • When indoors, use window coverings to help keep the inside areas cool. • Be aware that fans do not provide cooling—they only move hot air around.

Types of Heat-Related Illnesses: Heat Exhaustion – a milder form of heat-related illness. Signs and symptoms include:

• Heavy sweating, paleness, skin may feel cool. • Muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness. • Dizziness, headache, fainting, nausea or vomiting. • Pulse rate may be fast and weak, and breathing may be fast and shallow.

Heat Stroke – this is a medical emergency. When a person’s body temperature rises to a dangerous level, it can lead to vital organ damage and death. Signs and symptoms include:

• An extremely high body temperature (above 103 °F). • Red, hot, dry skin, and absence of sweating. • Rapid, strong pulse rate, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea or vomiting.

Immediate Steps to Take:

• If heat stroke is suspected or a person is exhibiting extreme symptoms of heat ex-haustion—contact Emergency Medical Services (EMS) immediately. • Get the person to a cool, shady area, and attempt to cool them down with cool wa-ter applied to the skin. Monitor body temperature, if possible. • Give fluids if person is alert and able to swallow. • Seek medical follow-up for milder heat-related illness as soon as possible.

Please contact OPWDD at people.first@opwdd.ny.gov should you have questions or concerns about the information in this alert or suggestions for future alerts.
