Woodland’s BCT Trade Hitting The Pavement

Last week, Woodland’s BCT students knocked out a job that had been on the

Center Director’s “To Do List” since arriving on Center last year. Norman

Turner, Center Director of Woodland Job Corps was pleased when the BCT

students stopped him outside to take a look at the resurfaced outdoor basketball

court that they had painted.

“I’m always glad when students take a vested interest in their community. This

court is just the start of the projects that I have on center that will give my

students an overall better time after the training day,” stated Mr. Turner.

The Woodland Informer is now hearing talks that Mr. Turner is setting his sights

on the gym moving forward.

“I know that Mr. Turner is a huge basketball fan and loves playing with the

students, so it will be of no surprise to us, if in fact he is indeed setting his eyes

on the gym,” stated Jobina C. Brown, BCL.

Whatever the next project will be, we are so glad to have such dedicated students

that want to use what they have learned in their trade to beautify the Center.

Hats off to the BCT students and Mr. Talley their instructor!

RECRUITMENT IS WHAT WOODLAND DOES

The Capital Guardian Youth Challenge Academy attended Woodland Job Corps Center for a tour last week. The students

were interested in continuing their educational/career needs after they successfully complete their program at Capital

Guardian Youth Challenge Academy.

Among other things, Woodland is making recruiting the areas best and finest students to their program a top priority.” The

students are taught respect, leadership, and discipline,” said Ms. Betty Stuckey, Placement and Mentor Coordinator at

Capital Guardian Youth Challenge Academy.

The students were very excited about the trades offered at Woodland and look forward to joining our campus in the near

future.

Woodland’s Fun Day

Woodland’s Fun Day was enjoyed by all last Friday as staff and

students were able to relax, socialize and enjoy each other’s company

over ice cream and popcorn just to name a few.

Senior staff members like Scotta Norris- Records Manager, Audrey

Davis- Purchasing Agent, and Tyrone Kent- Security Manager were

all too happy to serve the students as well as talk to the students

about what’s going on in their lives.

Every other Friday each dorm hosts a “Fun Day” and each Friday

there is a different theme or event that they focus on.

“Even if it rains we don’t stop the event from happening. We just

improvise and make it happen. The students look forward to it and

truth be told so do I,” stated Ms. Jobina C. Brown, BCL.

Great job to the entire staff and students on center for a successful

event!

Walking Taco’s Movie Night

The Social Development Department is in full swing as several dorms hosted a “Walking Taco Movie

Night” on June 12th, 2018 in the roll call area. The movie of choice was “Lean On Me”.

Aspen dorm staff took the liberty of showing our trainees a good time to relax and enjoy a movie with each

other while having a cool snack (Dorito bags, nacho cheese, and chili sauce). This was an opportunity for the

trainees to experience a positive relationship with their peers and also learn life morals through the movie.

Even our quietest trainees came out to enjoy the fellowship. Overall it was a great night and we can’t wait

for our next movie night!

Safety Corner

It can happen when you least expect it. You’re minding your own

business, outside having fun, riding in the car and even swimming in the

lake, pool or ocean, and when you are done you realize that you have a sun

burn. Maybe it was a cloudy day. Maybe you forgot your hat or your

sunscreen. Sunburn happens, even when you're prepared and careful.

Prevention: regardless of the seeming weather conditions, use an

appropriate level SPF sunscreen for your skin type and the weather

conditions. Apply the sunscreen frequently especially when you are in and out of water or if you perspire a lot.

Always remember to protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses to prevent glare and damage to your eyes from direct sunlight and or reflective sunlight.

Remember: Skin not normally exposed to sunlight on a daily basis will burn first

Things to do to deal with sunburn when one happens:

When the burn is fresh -- red, itchy, and achy -- you need to focus on

keeping the skin hydrated and soothing the inflammation. Use a

moisturizer as frequently as needed. A cream with steroids, like

hydrocortisone, will help relieve the discomfort, too. Aloe vera juice or gel

is good to help with the healing and feels nice and cool on the burn. You

can deal with the inflammation from the inside out by taking aspirin or

ibuprofen. Dermatology experts believe that controlling the inflammation

can reduce the risk of wrinkles and brown spots.

SAFETY FIRST

Sunburn, It Can Happen to You!

Sunburn, It Can Happen

To You!

The Three Norms of Woodland Every Monday a Woodland’s Business Meeting, the student body stand up and repeat this saying which is

led by the talented members of the Student Government Association.

The purpose of this saying is to make sure that the students understand their purpose and their goals

while they are in the program.

So repeat after me:

We show concern for self.

We show concern for others.

We accept supervision.

Lets’s go and show our Warrior Pride

Once the sunburn starts to sting -- maybe after a night of sleep or a

shower -- you can ease the pain with tannins. Steep a few tea bags

(black tea is best) in hot water, then let them cool in the fridge.

Place the tea bags on the burned area to take the sting out of the

burn and soothe your irritated skin.

As the burn heals, stick with the hydration. Drink plenty of water to

stay hydrated from the inside out. Use a lotion that contains

antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E to help take care of free

radicals in the damaged skin cells.

1. Be gentle with your skin. Rough sponges and exfoliating

scrubs can really hurt sunburned skin. Give yourself a

break and switch to a softer washcloth and a soap without

any gritty bits.

2. Not all sunburns peel, but if yours does, you can gently

buff away the dead skin with a dry washcloth. Don't be

too rough -- you don't want to scrub off any skin that isn't

ready to go, or irritate the new skin beneath the dead skin.

Make your time out in the sun, fun time and not pay for it later with

sun burns, blisters and challenges to sleeping because it hurts to lay down. Be Safe out there.

when it comes to community service,

Delaware Valley's Carpentry students really

nailed it this month. The students have been

busy building game booths for the Callicoon
