At a Jan. 13 meeting of more than 150 health educators, First Lady Carla Markell presented the Order of the First State on behalf of Gov. Markell to Jeanne and Don Keister and Dave and Gail Humes, founding members of the grassroots advocacy and support group atTAcK addiction. The First Lady said the Keisters and Humeses were honored with the highest civilian award for their work to reduce the stigma of addiction, their advocacy for increased treatment and recovery services, and their support of individuals in active use and their families. “Thank God we have this group of people," she said. "There is not a family in our state that isn't touched by this disease."
The First Lady joined Lt. Governor-Elect Bethany Hall-Long and DHSS Secretary Rita Landgraf, along with teachers, school nurses, administrators and representatives from DHSS, police and the nonprofit community at the statewide meeting in Cheswold on preventing addiction among Delaware students. The group will vet new videos for potential use in Delaware public schools. The Lt. Governor-elect said addiction is “the number one public health epidemic” in Delaware. “At the end of the day, you have the opportunity to save someone,” she told the educators.
Secretary Landgraf said preliminary numbers from the Medical Examiner’s Office show that 224 people died of suspected overdoses in 2016, including more than 90 deaths that involved the use of fentanyl. “The addiction is the disease,” she said. “The opiates and the heroin are the substance.” She said the educators have a critical opportunity to intervene in order to prevent addiction.
If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, call DHSS' 24/7 Crisis Helpline at 1-800-652-2929 in New Castle County, or 1-800-345-6785 in Kent and Sussex counties. Or go to www.HelpIsHereDE.com to search for prevention, treatment or recovery services in Delaware or nearby states.
The Valdosta-Lowndes Retired Educators Association et on Monday, November 15, 2011 at the Holiday Inn on W. Hill in Valdosta, GA. Thanks so much to Commissioner Joyce Evans, Mayor Pro Tem Alvin Payton, and Mrs. Pat Hester for being our guests and program speakers. It was a wonderful meeting, as Commissioner Evans and
Mayor Pro Tem Payton, along with our own Ron Irwin, read County, City. and Gubernatorial proclamations
commemorating Retired Teachers Day in Georgia! Mrs. Hester presented information on the need for
good nutrition and exercise for seniors. She even got us off our "chairs" and moving around.
The meetings are a great time to get back with friends and make new ones.

In June 2018, the Education Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory hosted 50 pre-service teachers for a weeklong professional development workshop, during which they got hands-on experience with STEM lessons, heard from JPL scientists and engineers, and toured the Pasadena, California, facility. The experience was part of NASA's Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Educator Institute, which takes place at NASA centers across the country each summer. The first of the two sessions at JPL this summer focused on elementary-school STEM education.
