“Get Connected” in May and Boost Your Mental Health - May 12
Press Release
From: Mental Health Association of Augusta
Donna H. Gum, Executive Director
“Get Connected” in May and Boost Your Mental Health
The Mental Health Association of Augusta Challenges the Citizens of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta this May to the Mental Health Connection Challenge
In observance of 2008 May is Mental Health Month, Mental Health Association of Augusta is encouraging all residents of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County to build their social support networks throughout May to improve upon how we all deal with the stress of living in a 24/7 on-the-go society. The MHA-A is challenging all citizens to the Mental Health Connection Challenge by making FIVE positive and life-fulfilling connections this month. Research shows that social networks can reduce stress and promote overall health by providing a sense of belonging, self-worth and security.
“We all need to maintain positive connections to feel a part of our communities and families, which is why this May, Mental Health America is challenging every American to connect to family & friends, coworkers, community members and professional help, if needed,” said MHA-A Executive Director, Donna Gum. “Years of research have shown that individuals who feel valued and cared for are better equipped to deal with stress and adversity and even experience less severe illnesses than those with little social support. We encourage those who have a mental illness, their family, and friends to attend the local National Alliance on Mental Illness, We Care monthly meetings. For more information, contact the MHA-A at 886-7181 / 949-0169 or mhaa@ntelos.net”
Local MHA-A activities include our Spring Newsletter, 13th Annual Pete Giesen MHA-A Golf Tournament, displays at the Bookstack and local libraries, Get Connected billboard on W. Beverly St., and radio PSAs and interviews. Our membership drive continues as we create an awareness to uplift the importance of mental health in our daily lives by educating the public.
Mental Health America’s Mental Health Connection Challenge:
* Connect To Family & Friends – Loved ones are an important source of support and encouragement. Talk to them when you need extra help, allow them to provide guidance and be prepared to help them when they need you.
* Connect To Coworkers – Given the amount of time we dedicate to work, healthy
relationships with coworkers are a must. Spend a lunch hour with officemates or reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a while to take a walk or grab coffee.
* Connect To Community Members – Shifting from your own issues to the needs of others can be a healthy change of pace. Select a faith-based organization, school, long-term care facility or non-profit group that needs your help and pitch in.
* Connect To Yourself – Taking time for yourself can decrease stress and improve health and relationships. Try meditating, exercising, enjoying a hobby or reading a book. Whatever you choose, it’s your time, so spend it doing something you enjoy.
* Connect To Professional Help – If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope, reach out to a mental health professional. For a referral to local services, contact your local MHA-A, 886-7181 / 949-0169 or mhaa@ntelos.net.
Mental Health America founded May is Mental Health Month 50 years ago to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the importance of mental health for all. This year’s theme, “Get Connected” is focused on the important role social connectedness plays in maintaining and protecting mental health and wellness.
As Americans observe 2008, May is Mental Health Month and National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day, the Mental Health Association of Augusta asks families to recognize and promote their children's mental health and overall development through increased communication, guidance and emotional support. The theme for this year's Mental Health Month is "Get Connected" to emphasize the important role of social relationships in protecting and improving mental health and building resiliency. Research shows that children who feel warmth and caring from their parents are more likely to be successful in school, less anxious and depressed, and have higher self-esteem than those without.
"Having supportive relationships in our lives is essential for success, happiness and, perhaps most importantly, how we deal with adversity," said David Shern, Ph.D., president & CEO of Mental Health . "This is especially true for children. By supporting their mental and emotional needs, parents and other family members can help children think clearly, develop socially, learn new skills, build self-esteem and develop a positive mental outlook."
Here are some easy ways for families to "Get Connected" and build their children's mental health:
Give unconditional love - Children need to know that your love does not depend on their accomplishments
Nurture confidence and self-esteem - Praise and encourage your children. Set realistic goals. Be honest about your mistakes and avoid sarcasm.
Encourage play - Play time is as important to a child's development as food. Play helps children be creative, develop problem-solving skills and self-control, and learn how to get along with others
Enroll children in after-school activities - This is a great way for kids to stay productive, learn something new, gain self-esteem and have something to look forward to during the week. If they are home alone, check in on them after school. Children need to know that even if you're not there physically, you're thinking about them, and interested in how they spend their day.
Provide a safe and secure environment - Fear can be very real for a child. Try to find out what is frightening him or her. Be loving, patient and reassuring, not critical.
Give appropriate guidance and discipline - Be firm, but kind and realistic with your expectations.
The goal is not to control the child, but to help him or her learn self-control.
Communicate - Make time each day to listen to your children and talk with them about what is happening in their lives. Share emotions and feelings with your children.
Get help - If you're concerned about your child's mental or emotional health, consult with teachers, a guidance counselor or another adult who may have information about his or her behavior. If you think there is a problem, seek professional help right away. For more information, contact your local Mental Health Association at 886-7181 / 949-0169 or mhaa@ntelos,net
For information on local parenting workshops, support, and tips, call the Central Shenandoah Valley Office on Youth at 540-942-6757

VDOT SLATES ROUTE 42 PUBLIC HEARING IN AUGUSTA COUNTY
STAUNTON – The Virginia Department of Transportation will hold a design public hearing for a portion of Route 42 in Augusta County . The meeting is scheduled for May 15 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the North River Elementary School in the community of Mount Solon .
Citizens can come in during the meeting hours and discuss the project on a one-on-one basis with VDOT officials and designers. Written comments can be submitted at the meeting or within 10 calendar days after the meeting date to Mr. Garrett W. Moore, P.E. Virginia Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 2249 , Staunton , VA 24402-2249 . Oral comments can be recorded at the hearing with the assistance of a court reporter.
This project will replace an existing bridge on Route 42, built in 1908, over a tributary to Mossy Creek. The proposed work will also improve the road alignment, shoulders and drainage. Route 42 will have two 12-foot travel lanes with eight-foot shoulders that will include four feet of paved shoulder.
This portion of Route 42 is located between a National Historic Registered house and its spring house. The new alignment will help straighten Route 42 by relocating the road north of the spring house. The proposed improvements are located between 0.63 mile and 0.9 mile south of the Rockingham County line. Additionally the intersection of Route 42 and Route 809 will be realigned to improve sight distance.
During construction property owners and residents will have access to their entrances. However, a detour will be in place on Route 42 for both northbound and southbound traffic. The detour will use Route 646 ( Fadley Road ) and Route 699 ( Centerville Road ). The detour is anticipated to extent the travel time through this area from four to seven minutes. Travelers should anticipate the detour to be in place for one to two months.
This project will not require the relocation of any families, businesses or non-profit organizations.
An environmental document, prepared under the National Environmental Policy Act in the form of a categorical exclusion, was prepared for this project and will be available at the public hearing. In compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106 and 36 CFR Part 800, information concerning the potential effects of the proposed improvement on properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places will be available at the public hearing.
The estimated cost of this project is $1,760,000, which includes $242,000 for preliminary engineering, $206,000 for right of way acquisition and utility relocation and $1,312,000 for construction.
The project will receive consideration for design approval from the VDOT Chief Engineer in mid 2008. Right of way activities will begin in late 2008 with construction advertisement in early 2010.
Traffic alerts and traveler information can be obtained by dialing 511. In areas where 511 is unavailable, dial 1-866-MY511VA (695-1182). (TTY/TDD users, call 711). Traffic alerts and traveler information also are available at 511Virginia.org.

Enjoy Mother's Day weekend with home tour - May 4
When Jane Pfost first decided to put together a home tour for the Wayne Theatre Alliance, she had no idea how much effort it would take to pull off the event but she knew that people would be interested in the history that the Waynesboro homes had to offer.
"There are just so many stories about the homes and inns and some of the antiques in them, and I thought people would enjoy knowing something about their own hometown," said Pfost, co-organizer of the Walk Down Memory Lane home tour.
For the first year of what will likely become an annual event, Pfost worked with area homeowners, museums and inns to put together a lineup of historical treasures to tour on May 10.
One of the homes to take in on the tour is the Old Stone House at 805 Oak Avenue, along the river.
Will and Kat Strickland and their two children now live in the two-and-a-half century old home in Waynesboro.
"We weren't considering Waynesboro initially just because we liked Charlottesville but my husband read '250 year old home, two English walk-in fireplaces, on the river', and he said 'this I have to see,'" wrote Kat Strickland in the Spring 2008 edition of The Tree Streets Gazette, a newsletter distributed to homes in the Tree Streets of Waynesboro.
Nine months after signing papers and moving in, the Stricklands are now proud to call this historical marvel home. "Our house is a humble house with humble beginnings as the building where the migrant apple pickers lived during harvesting months," Strickland wrote. "There is nothing too showy about the inside of it, furnished with worn, well-lived in things ..."
"It's not a house for everyone," Strickland wrote. "It doesn't have many of the amenities modern people of today expect, the biggest being air conditioning."
Other homes on the tour include the Lambert House at 633 S. Wayne Avenue, the Geiger House at 701 Locust Avenue and the Heafner House at 607 Oak Avenue.
Also part of the tour are two inns, The Tree Streets Inn on Walnut Avenue and The Belle Hearth Inn on Wayne Avenue. The Heritage Museum and The Plumb House are also included.
"To me, it's really eye-opening that we live in such an historical area," said Pfost, who is chairing this event along with Lynn Hilton Conyers. The pair has been busy lining up volunteers at each home, refreshments and getting flower arrangements for display in all of the homes.
"I think this will be one of the most successful events that we do," said Clair Myers, executive director of the Wayne Theatre Alliance. He is optimistic that people in the community will take advantage of the opportunity to tour homes and gardens on Mother's Day weekend.
All proceeds from the home tour benefit the Wayne Theatre Alliance, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. Part of the organization's first Parade of Events, this is the fifth of six events that are part of the parade. The series of events conclude on June 14 with "Bluegrass, Barbecue and Blue Jeans" which will feature of celebration including music from High Ground, 100 Proof and Blue Mountain Sunrise.
For more information on the Walk Down Memory Lane historical home tour or the Parade of Events, please call (540) 943-9999 or visit www.waynetheatre.org.

For the first year of what will likely become an annual event, Pfost worked with area homeowners, museums and inns to put together a lineup of historical treasures to tour on May 10.
One of the homes to take in on the tour is the Old Stone House at 805 Oak Avenue, along the river.
Will and Kat Strickland and their two children now live in the two-and-a-half century old home in Waynesboro.
"We weren't considering Waynesboro initially just because we liked Charlottesville but my husband read '250 year old home, two English walk-in fireplaces, on the river', and he said 'this I have to see,'" wrote Kat Strickland in the Spring 2008 edition of The Tree Streets Gazette, a newsletter distributed to homes in the Tree Streets of Waynesboro.
Nine months after signing papers and moving in, the Stricklands are now proud to call this historical marvel home. "Our house is a humble house with humble beginnings as the building where the migrant apple pickers lived during harvesting months," Strickland wrote. "There is nothing too showy about the inside of it, furnished with worn, well-lived in things ..."
"It's not a house for everyone," Strickland wrote. "It doesn't have many of the amenities modern people of today expect, the biggest being air conditioning."
Other homes on the tour include the Lambert House at 633 S. Wayne Avenue, the Geiger House at 701 Locust Avenue and the Heafner House at 607 Oak Avenue.
Also part of the tour are two inns, The Tree Streets Inn on Walnut Avenue and The Belle Hearth Inn on Wayne Avenue. The Heritage Museum and The Plumb House are also included.
"To me, it's really eye-opening that we live in such an historical area," said Pfost, who is chairing this event along with Lynn Hilton Conyers. The pair has been busy lining up volunteers at each home, refreshments and getting flower arrangements for display in all of the homes.
"I think this will be one of the most successful events that we do," said Clair Myers, executive director of the Wayne Theatre Alliance. He is optimistic that people in the community will take advantage of the opportunity to tour homes and gardens on Mother's Day weekend.
All proceeds from the home tour benefit the Wayne Theatre Alliance, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. Part of the organization's first Parade of Events, this is the fifth of six events that are part of the parade. The series of events conclude on June 14 with "Bluegrass, Barbecue and Blue Jeans" which will feature of celebration including music from High Ground, 100 Proof and Blue Mountain Sunrise.

MAY IS NATIONAL BIKE MONTH
Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 16
RICHMOND –Get out your bicycle and prepare to take to the road as May is National Bike Month. On Thursday, May 1 at 9 a.m., bicycling advocates from across the commonwealth will gather at the bell tower at the Virginia State Capitol as Deputy Secretary of Transportation Ralph Davis reads the proclamation for Bike Month 2008.
Bicycling is good for your wallet and your health. With gas prices hitting record highs, it can significantly cut the cost of your commute. It can ease traffic congestion and reduce air pollution. And, it has also been proven to help reduce the onset of chronic disease and childhood obesity.
Friday, May 16 marks Bike to Work Day, also known as Clean Commute Day. Consider bicycling for your daily commute, and if that does not work, try walking, vanpooling, carpooling or using available transit options to help reduce air pollution.
“As Virginians ride their bicycles for transportation, recreation, fitness and family fun in May, motorists should remember to share the road,” said VDOT Commissioner David S. Ekern, P.E. “Drivers should use caution when traveling near bicyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians. We all depend on Virginia’s highways and byways to connect us to the important things in our lives, whether we use two wheels or four.”
To keep safe on the road, bicyclists should:
· Always ride on the right side of the road and never against traffic
· Ride safely and predictably. A bicycle is considered a vehicle, so ride as if you were operating a motor vehicle
· Ride at least three feet from parked cars to avoid opening doors and people stepping into traffic
· Wear a helmet that is comfortable and fits properly
Motorists should remember to:
· Pass bicyclists with at least two feet of clearance and at a safe speed
· Do not honk when passing. Honking can startle a bicyclist and cause a crash
· Do not slow abruptly or turn immediately after passing a bicyclist
· Watch for road hazards such as debris or broken pavement that may require cyclists to move into the travel lane
Highway safety is everyone’s responsibility. Take Virginia’s Highway Safety Challenge.
· Share the road
· Buckle up
· Avoid distractions
· Drive drug and alcohol free
· Obey speed limits
