IVol.118,o.39 3 346T UR A720aiteCu yFlrd4S TIN Wetter winter predicted Threat of wildfire still remains Ira Mikell Free Press Reporter The National Weather S Service is predicting a wet- ter winter for Florida, which Suwannee River Water Management offi- cials hope will bring a suf- ficient amount of rain over the course of time to the area and help water levels return to normal before spring arrives. Until this happens, district officials say the water shortage ad- visory implemented a few weeks ago is here to stay. To further compound the water level problem, the danger of wildfire still exists. According to Cindy Johnson, SRWMD commu- nications director, as the rainfall deficit grows, the drier our area becomes, in- creasing the chances of fires taking place. "There is a greater danger of fire when we're in a rainfall deficit and the vegetation is so dry," Johnson said. SR\VMD, as well as local officials, continue to en- courage everyone to abide by the water shortage ad- visory and do as much as is possible to conserve wa- ter. "Lack of rainfall also greatly affects our ability to fight wildfires. Many of our ponds and lakes are ei- ther extremely low or dry and that leaves us without S water used by the forestry helicopters to fight the fires," Donnie Land, Emer- gency Operations Manage- ment Director for 'Lafayette County said. Land also advises cau- tion for anyone who goes camping in the woods. He urges those who partici- pate in camping activities to make sure that your campfire is completely out before you leave. Other things Land encourages people not to do include throwing lit cigarettes or matches out of the car win- dow, and leaving your ve- hicle idle in tall grass.

According to the Taylor County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) report, Helms was traveling at a high rate of speed in excess of 100 mph, weaving in and out of traffic, and nearly caused several vehicles to collide as he ran the traffic light at the intersection of US 19 and Puckett Rd. in Perry.

When you are away from the house, particular- ly for an extended period, be sure to make it look lived in. Put timers on a few lights at varied times, put a timer on a radio set to a talk-station, install a dusk/ dawn outside light or motion detector, ask a neighbor to pick up any cir- : culars that might pile up on your doorstep, and stop de- livery of newspapers and Smail.

Walk around the interi- or of your home and inven- Story your major posses- sions. An easy way is to place valuables out on ta- bles and videotape your house, room-to-room:of all furniture, paintings and other 'possessions. Make a list and place it, any pho- tos/video you took, and perhaps the valuables themselves in a safe deposit box. Tell a trusted neighbor on your block that you will be away. Activity or noise that might otherwise seem normal to them could be alarming if they know you are away from home. The only thing worse than losing your posses- sions is not being sufficient- ly covered to recoup your losses, so check to see if your homeowner's insur- ance coverage is up to date.

Battery Check: You won't get far if cold weather puts your car battery in a deep freeze, so have battery fluid.levels, battery posts and cable connectors checked by a reliable mechanic. Assess your antifreeze level: Verify that you have the appropriate level and concentration of an- tifreeze/coolant in your car before venturing out on winter roads. .. Keep your fuel level up: The more gas you keep in your tank during cold weather, the less chance that moisture will form and cause gas line freeze. So try to keep at least a quarter tank of gas in your car while you're up north. Regularly review tire pressure: For every 10 degree Sdrop in temperature, tires lose close to one pound of pressure. So regularly check vour tires for proper infla- tion and uneven wear. Watch out for worn wipers: If your windshield wipers aren't making full contact with the windshield or if they're dried out, make sure to replace them. Prepare for emergency: Even with a fully winter- ized car, you can still run into trouble on the road. So equip your car with a first-aid kit, cell phone, water, spare batteries, a working flashlight, tire chains, flares, blankets, gloves and boots. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2006 PAGE 4A THE MAYO FREE PRESS, Mayo, FL Home Submitted by Heather Neill Well, I just got back from Mayo Mayo, IRELAND, that is! Being of Scottish-Irish descent, I have wanted to see Ireland for as long as I can remember. I had been planning a solo trip, but at the last minute my sister-in- law, Billie Jo, signed on for the adventure. We arrived in Shannon airport at 6:30 a.m., sleepless, with only a sketchy itiner- ary, no clue what to expect, but ready for anything! Right off the bat, I can tell you driving in Ireland is an adventure in itself. If you can imagine a winding, paved rabbit trail in heavy traffic, with everyone traveling at speeds rivaling the German Autobahn, while driving on the "wrong" side of the road, then you will have a tiny glimpse of introduction to driving in Ireland! We toured as much of the countryside as our itty-bitty car could cover in ten days, for the most part avoiding the touristy areas, and exploring off the beat- en path. Our rambles took us all the way up to Northern Ireland and Belfast. Sometimes, driving along the highway, we would spot a little country road, and head down it just to see where it led. We were never disappointed each bend in the road was truly more beautiful than the last. Though only a little more than half the size of Florida, Eire is an extraordinary and diverse country. Dublin, for instance, is a cosmopolitan city with a population of about 1.5 million.. But just a few hours' drive away are villages with thatch- roofed cottages and bucolic, stone-fenced fields of impossible green, where Irish ,back again IFI -. Il4PJ :i ISA~l r : :- ' ~aL: ~ A.4 Ty Gaelic is still the first language. Beautiful rivers roll down out of the mountains and through pastoral countryside dotted with lakes and bogs and strewn with heather. Craggy, barren cliffs stand guard over magnificent seashores which look out to the little islands a select few call home. The remains of ancient history are com- monplace: monoliths, crosses carved with intricate Celtic designs, stone circles, cairns, and castles, stir the imagination and draw you back to days and ways long past. The Hill of Tara in County Meath was the seat of the High Kings, including King Niall, my ancient forefather, who is said to have captured a young Saint Patrick and brought him to Ireland. The moun- tains of the North were home to Irish- born writer C.S. Lewis, and its rugged countryside was his inspiration' for the magical world he called Narnia. W.B. Yeats drew from his Irish heritage-and beloved country for many of his famous poems. He is buried in Sligo, which he said influenced his life more than any- place else on earth. Overwhelmed by the lovely splendor of everything we saw and the genuine warmth of the people we met, I know how he felt! One of the things about the Emerald Isle and its people which touches me most is their joyful resilience. Like Scotland, throughout history Ireland has often been a place of hardship and war. Northern Ireland or simply "the North," as they call it has a rugged beauty and a differ- ent "feel" than its sister counties to the south, and it was not very long ago the North was at war. I can remember the hunger strikes of the '80's, and recall see- ing footage of strife on the evening news. There are few there whose families were not touched in some way. You will find diverse opinions on the "Troubles," as that time is called, as well as the continua- tion of British governance. But, regard- less of politics, we found ourselves wel- comed with open arms and smiles in a land reborn in peace. We wandered many places Shannon, Sligo, Galway, Ballyboffin, Omagh, ahd Londonderry, to name a few. One of the highlights was our stay in Westport, County Mayo, where we had a friendly welcome from the folks who run the "Mayo News" there. They showed us their antique printing press, and we told them about our own "Mayo Free Press" here at home. Westport, nestled where the foot of the holy mountain Croagh Patrick meets Clew Bay, is a lovely little town with tree-lined streets, through which the Carrowbeg River winds the last of its journey to the sea. We fell in love with Galway, too, a charming coastal town with quaint shops and cobblestone streets. We had the op- portunity to sit in on several traditional Irish music sessions there. And I can tell you, if you haven't heard old men singing old songs acapella, or Irish jigs played flawlessly at breakneck speeds, with ac- cordions, tin whistles, fiddles, flutes, foot- stomping, and laughter shaking the whole house, then you haven't heard music! It was a beautiful, clear day as I stood on the coast of County Antrim in North- ern Ireland, from whence my family came. With the waves crashing against the towering hexagonal columns of the Giant's Causeway beneath me, I could see across the channel to the shores of Scot- land where the Neill clan immigrated some 900 years ago, taking up residence in a castle they built on a. tiny island in the Outer Hebrides. It is not possible to convey with words the melancholy joy that welled up in my heart as I stood on the shores of one homeland, looking across to another. Tears filled my eyes and it was difficult to turn and walk away. Of the many places I have had the privi- lege to visit, none has touched me the way Ireland has. I think maybe Bing Crosby said it best when he sang "Galway Bay;" "And if there's going to be a life hereafter, and something tells me sure there's going to be, I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven, in the dear old land across the Irish Sea." I will be going back to Ireland, and I will be going home.

Smith, CCDC and CEO of Narconon Arrowhead (one of the country's leading drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education organizations) re- ferring to a nation wide survey just completed by his orga- nization. According to Smith, a random survey was done on the 33,934 people that have contacted Narconon Arrowhead for help for an addiction problem since January of this year. Narconon Arrowhead has been operating a 1-800 drug. in- formation help line for 15 years and an Intrnet/email drug information site forthe last 10 years. "We know from past ex- perience that our websites, email information request line and our 1-800 helpline traffic increases dramatically from Thanksgiving to the end of the year. These people seem to' experience more drug and alcohol related emotional and physical problems during the holidays. This year we want- ed to find out what drives people to call us and what prob- lems addicts and/or their loved ones are experiencing that prompt them to make contact and reach for help." The surveyed group also included 561 people who en- tered the Narconon Arrowhead program for treatment since January 1st of this year. "The outcome of this survey was a real eye opener for us," Smith said. There were three very important facts that came from this study: The first being that of those surveyed, 73% reported that addicts or their loved ones seem to experience more problems, upsets and emotionally traumatic situations during the Holiday Season' than any other national holiday or event of the year. The second was that 61% of those who entered treatment this year reported that they were motivated to do so because of I., PrC.. E:M' rf.l 0 31111 $k . U.S.D.A.

The four most common types of loss in order were: 1 family relationships; loss of self respect or self esteem; 1 employment; and financial loss or loss of material w The third fact noted from the study is that of the people veyed, nearly 80% did not understand how one become addict and wondered if addiction could ever be cured The Narconon Organization has been in operatic over 40 years and Smith has over 30 years of experie the substance.abuse treatment field. In reviewing the r of this survey, Narconon's Smith speculates that the cra for drugs and alcohol, linked with the guilt and depn an addict experiences due to their declining quality and relationships with family and friends, is magnified ing times when family and friends get together to soc and interact. "The holiday season is the time for family when addiction has entered into this relationship it cai this joyous time into one of severe stress." Mr. Smith states the good news is that something c done about addiction. "Most people afflicted by subs abuse do not grasp the concept,of the actual mechar addiction which is the first step to take in solving this lem. Once a person can fully understand what is cau problem, solutions begin to present themselves." Nar Arrowhead is gearing up its efforts to make easily u stood information available for anyone that wants to what addiction is and what can be done about it. "Liv be saved, families reunited and communitiesmade str through understanding the mechanics of addiction what workable solutions are available."

The gift that keeps on Adults and children alike seem to have e erNihing readily available to them these days. Thanks to televi- sion, the Internet, DVDs and an assortment of other tech- nologies, it now seems easier to stay occupied than ever be- fore. However, in spite of such technologies, boredom still rears its ugly head more wit' Ll 14,995 .15,995 .15.995 .415,995 2006 FORD 2006 HYUNDAI 2004 FORD 2005 FORD F-150 SONATA SPORT TRAC EXPEDITION LIM,- often than most people would prefer. Kids whose bedrooms bear a close resemblance to electronic store showrooms still say things like, "I'm bored" or "there's nothing to do." Adults, as well, often find that despite having hun- dreds of television channels, nothing's ever on. Though quelling.the bore- dom can at times seem like a lost cause, people looking to do just that while also chal- lenging themselves might want to try Scramble Squares, a 12-by-12 inch puzzle made of nine 4-by-4 inch square pieces that might seem as though it's easy to solve, but as anyone who has tried it can attest, is much more than meets the eye. "Whenever I get the chance I play with the puzzle," said Jillian Joseph of Columbia, Maryland. "They're right when they say 'Hours of con- centrated fun'. However, even with the help of my family and friends, the answer re- mains unsolved." With over 120 exquisite styles of original art on nature sports, history, geography, art and culture, science and tech- nology and hobbies and activ- ities, Scramble Squares puz- Szles are far more difficult to solve than they appear. The very essence of:a brain teaser, the puzzles leave most play- ers, adults and children alike, spending hours twisting and turning pieces that deceptively look similar in pattern, often- times only to find they need to begin anew. The puzzles have proven so challenging that many players have sought the assistance ofthe company that produces them, b. dazzle inc. Though certainly challeng- ing, the difficulty the puzzles present is one of their better qualities, particularly for chil- dren. So says childhood de- velopment specialist Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., who's also known as "Dr. Toy." Auer- bach believes that parents looking to stimulate their chil- dren with something more challenging than a video game will find an ally in Scramble Squares: "Parents must plan, prepare and shop ahead for their chil- dren's leisure time," Auerbach says. "These great products will help all parents to over- come the challenge of finding innovative, fun and interesting things for their kids to do." Which isn't to say the games are mere child's play, as many a challenged adult can attest. Designed for adults and children alike, Scramble' Squares have proved difficult for both parent and child, and even grandparent and grand- child. "I really enjoy them," said 77-year-old Iowa native Grace Zaspel, who worked on and recently solved the "Birds of Prey" puzzle. "They're a lot of fun for an older person and I have fun trying to figure them out." Packaged in a heavy-duty resealable see-through vinyl pouch, Scramble Squares puz- zles can work well both as a gift to put under the tree or as a stocking stuffer.

According to the State of Florida, enrollment of Hispanic students in Florida's public universities in fall 2006 increased by 7.3 percent. To help .Hispanic families save for their children's future college education, the Florida Prepaid College Board and the Florida State Hispan- ic Chamber of Commerce have partnered to inform Chamber members about the state- sponsored college savings plans: the Florida Prepaid College Plan and the Florida Col- lege Investment Plan. "We realize the value of higher education and will continue to support our Hispanic community 'toprogress in the right direc- tion," says Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Julio Fuentes. "The most important step is to educate Hispanic families about college savings options, aid we are committed to doing so through our partnership with the Florida Prepaid College Board." "We want to make sure that every family in Florida knows that college can be made affordable and attainable," states Florida Prepaid College Board Chairman Ted Hoep- ner. "For less than a dollar per day, parents of newborns can open a Florida Prepaid Col- lege Plan* and send their children to great college affordability Florida institutions to help them reach their dreams." With the Florida Prepaid College Plan, families can lock in the cost of college tu- ition, local fees and dormitory housing to- day. Once enrolled, the plan payments are fixed and never increase. When the child is ready for college, the plan covers the actual cost at any Florida public college, or the val- ue of the plan may be transferred to most private colleges in Florida, select technical schools and most out-of-state colleges. The Florida Prepaid College Plan is the largest program of its kind in the country with more than 1.1 million contracts sold. The plan is financially guaranteed by the State of Florida, making it a safe way to save. To qualify, the child of the child's parent/guardian must be a Florida resident. Anyone, including parents, grand- parents, friends or even businesses, may purchase a plan. Enrollment for the Florida Prepaid College Plan started Monday, Oct. 16.

Hoboken, NJ (November 2006)-Who doesn't feel like they are drowning in paper? Receipts, bills, deeds, tax returns, pay, check stubs, the list goes on and on, we keep them because we are too afraid to throw them away.. You never know when you might need them, and there is always the growing threat of identity theft that makes you think twice before tossing them in the garbage (invest in a shredder!). We'may be keeping these papers, but many of us aren't organizing them in a way that they can' be retrieved quickly when needed. If you're like many Americans, any time you go to organize your pile of im- portant papers, its size overwhelms you, and you decide to tackle an easier task. Don't worry, Jim Lange, CPA, attorney, and author of the new book, Retire Secure! Pay Taxes Later: The Key to Mak- ing Your Money Last as Long as You Do (Wiley, 2006, ISBN: 0-470-04354-7, $24.95), says.there is a way to chip down that paper pile'so that organizing your important documents won't seem like such an uphill battle. He wants to set you straight on which documents you should keep and how long you should keep them. "Many people have no idea which important documents they should keep and which they shouldn't," says Lange. "So they end up either keeping everything or throwing away doc- uments that they should have kept. Simply knowing the time frame for keeping certain documents is the first step to getting organized." As for getting organized, Lange says now is as good a time as any. In fact, it may be better than most. "I think everyone should use this bit of down time before, the holiday crunch to,get a leg up on the New Year:..and even tax. season," suggests Lange. "April ma\ seem like it's eons away, but you \\ ill save yourself a lot of headaches with just a bit of organization. The best way to get organized is to start going through all of those important papers that hav'e been piling up all year." Below Lange has compiled a summary of tax and account- ing documents with rough guidelines of how long you should keep them. Keep the list and post it somewhere, preferably where it won't get buried: . Documents you never want to part with. There are some documents everyone knows to keep for life: birth certificates, marriage licenses, and wills, for exaniple. And others that you may know are very important, but aren't quite sure what their shelf life should be. particularly those tax related documents, such as tax returns, the cost basis of investments, and records of non-deductible IRA contributions. The bottom line,, you should keep them all. "These documents may not need to be: readily accessible, but you should definitely find a safe place for them," says ,ange. "You may want to keep birth certifi- cates,deil .crtiicptes.'\ills, and insurance policy informa- tion mia safety deposit box'at your local bank." Records that should go out with the old. This category in- 'volves documents such as house deeds and car'titles. With these documents, the general rule is that as long as you are re- sponsible for the item related to the document you should keep its papers. What falls into this category? "These documents are high on the list'of important papers," says Lange. "But there is no need for you to keep them forever.

These are documents that you can get rid of after seven. years. When filing these you may want to file them by date to ensure you don't keep them longer than necessary. Documents,in this category include' canceled checks/receipts with tax implications (aliniony, charitable contributions, mortgage interest and retirement plan contributions) and credit card state- ments if tax related expenses are doc- umented. Records to toss after the ball drops: Generally the fastest growing piles of documents are those records that should be purged at the end of every year. These include quarterly state- ments of retirement plans, bank statements and bills with no long-term tax importance. "These documents generally make up the bulk of those that are piled up in your home or office because they are coming to you repeatedly throughout the year," says Lange. It's silly to keep them indefinitely. After a year,, they become trash and that is where they should go." Just -remember, with the increasing threat of identity theft- shred- ' ding, rather than tossing, is the way to go. Even if you know which papers to keep and which you can get rid of, there will still be a lot of important documents for you to manage. What's the best way to keep everything orga- nized? If you have access to a computer and scanner, you can. make electronic back-up copies of all papet documents by scanning them into your computer and saving the file to one of those handy-dandy portable memory sticks. "Then in the event of an emergency you can simply grab that little memory stick and know that you will have numbers , and records at your disposal," says Lange. "The sticks are also a great place to store your information for online accounts. Some of the larger capacity memory sticks also come with password protection so you don't have to worry about othet people getting access to your information. It may be one of the best little investments of your time. and money." "As for the hard copies of these important documents, be sure to keep them in a fire proof storage box," continues .Lange. "The best case: scenario would have you saving your information both electronically and in hard copy form. Either way, be sure to 'develop a filing system that is easy to use. If your system is too complicated, you won't keep it up. Once you're organized, you will be thrilled with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have all of your important doc- uments 'organized and at they are ready any time you need them."

When she forgets to check, she doesn't know when to take her medication which can be dangerous and even deadly. "It's just something Idon't think about doing," says Mayover. "When I'm in the middle, of dinner with someone. I don't want to ruin the mood and waste a lot of time checking my glucose levels." Diabetes is a chronic disease that has no cure and can be a silent killer. According to the American Diabetes Association, 20.8 million Americans have diabetes more than 6.2 million of whom don't even know they have it. Doctors say monitoring and managing the care of diabetes is the key to slowing the onset and progression of the eye, kidney, and nerve problems often associated with the disease. A study of more than 3,000 people, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, showed that those who began self-monitoring their blood glucose took their medication more regularly and had lower, healthier long-term blood glucose levels than those who did not... Blood glucose meters that require only a drop of blood ~rom a patient are the most popular method of self-testing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the Sidekick, the world's smallest diabetes testing system. The Sidekick is about the size of a roll of film, requires no time-consuming coding like other testing meters, and takes less than ten seconds to give results. "Its small size makes it easy to carry discretely and may encourage people with diabetes to analyze their blood glucose levels more frequently, thereby better managing their blood glucose levels," says Martha Mitchell Funnell, administrative director of the University of Michigan's Diabetes Training and Research Center. Many meters, like the Sidekick, are also covered by Medicare and most Medicaid and private insurance plans. That makes testing easy and economical for diabetes patients like Mayover. "I want to be seen as a normal person, not just someone with diabetes," Mayover says. "The simpler and mioie inconspicuous a test is, the easier it will be for me to test myself regularly."

Remember, when you are celebrating the holidays this year, the name of the holiday is CHRISTmas, it is Jesus Christ's birthday, invite Him into your celebrations and most of all, into your heart. I Corinthians 2:2 is the answer to how we should celebrate the holiday, the birth of our savior. Jesus. "For I am deternnined not to know anything among you, sav e Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." The greatest Christmas gift has ever been given is Jesus and is the reason Christmas is all about sharing Christ's love.

I imagine you are really looking forward to Christmas and all' the fun the holiday brings. I know most kids are thinking about the presents they hope they will get! The stores have so many Christmas decorations, Christmas music and Christmas presents. It seems everyone, Skids and adults, get so busy with so many Christmas parties, parades, shop- ping, decorating, Christmas programs,. plays, caroling, baking and so many other activities they forget this holiday is actually:a birthday celebration! There is nothing wrong with all these fun Christmas activities, I love them, too! We just need to make sure we don't forget the real reason we are cel- ebrating Christmas. You see. Chrismhas is a birthday celebration for Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world! God knew we all needed Jesus to be born as a little baby in a manger so someday He would grow up and pay for our sils by dying on the cross. He rose again, and He still lives today! The Bible,says in Matthew 1:21 "And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins."' You see, Christmas all started when Jesus was born. That is why the holiday is called Christmas, it starts with the Je- sus Christ's name, CHRISTmas, the birthday of God's own Son born in a manger. When we give a gift to someone, it Should be done.because we want to give it, not because we hope they give us a gift too. We should give it to show we love them and to show Christ's love. The greatest gift has ever been given is the one God gave to you and me, and to the whole w world, the: gift of His Son, Jesus! So remember, as you are celebrating the wonderful holiday CHRISTmas, do as the wise men did when they fol- lowed the star and it led them to Jesus in the manger. They rejoiced with ex- ceeding great joy! Enjoy the Christmas holidays, re- 'member the greatest gift that has ever -been given is Jesus, and that is why Christmas is a time for sharing Christ's rating Jesus birthday! love!, kids in the New Year!

I 2006-one of eight or- ganizations in the state selected for taking a lead- ing role in promoting living wills. Aging with Dignity Foundation Presideht .Paul Malley presented the award at a 10th anniversary celebration recently in Tallahassee, attended by Gov. Jeb and first lady Columba Bush. Haven Hospice Executive Director Tim Bowen said he was delighted to hear of the Florida Pace- setter award. "As an organization whose mission is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care that respects each person's needs, beliefs and wishes, we are committed to educating people facing life-limiting illness and end-of-life deci- sions," Bowen said. Since 2003, Haven Hospice has distributed more than 5,000 copies of Aging With Dignity's "Five Wishes'" advance directive as part of its commu- nity outreach efforts. The document, which meets legal requirements in 40 states including Florida, enables people to express how they want to be treated should they become seriously ill and un- able to speak for themselves. The five wishes are: 1. Which person you want to make health care de- cisions for you when you can't make them; 2. The kind of medical treatment you want or don't want; 3. How comfortable you want to be; 4. How you want people to treat you; and 5. What you want your loved ones to know. "We see our role in distributing 'Five Wishes' as an essential part of our service delivery approach, which we call 'Commitment to Caring," Bowen said. "The program is unique because it is based on the importance of understanding and meeting the diverse needs of all the people we serve." 'Commitment to Caring' is Haven Hospice's inno- vative and multifaceted service delivery model designed to enhance access to care, responsive- ness and customer satisfaction. It recognizes and addresses the, multiple needs of' all customer groups: patients and families, physicians, hospi- tals and;li ,e1 ca refacilities' The Aging with Dignity award is the newest honor for Haven Hospice-also selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as one of only two hospice organizations nationwide to serve as a demonstration site for ex- ploring new ways to increase access to hospice care for patients in rural areas. Haven Hospice is North Central Florida's expert in end-of-life and palliative care. Licensed in Florida since 1980 as a not-for-profit hospice, Haveni Hospice has served more than 30o,00 pa- tients' and families. . Haven pioneered the de- |~- --a- - velopment of stand-alone care centers working to provide a home-like environment for patients whose situation makes it impossible for them to stay at home. The Haven mission is to serve peo- ple and their communities affected by life-limit- ing illness and loss by providing comprehensive, compassionate care, while respecting each per- son's needs, beliefs, and wishes.
