Community Holiday Coalition -Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Mission - to serve less fortunate families children and senior citizens by proshyviding much needed items in a manner that promotes dignity and self respect We believe that a single act of kindness can be the turning point towards a brighter future for those in need

History - In 1996 a number of agencies met to design a better way to serve families in need during the holidays while preventing duplication and assuring fairness and equitability to all From that meeting a coalition was formed to deshyvelop a plan to coordinate holiday efforts Local governments and many nonshyprofit agencies now work together There is one application process for those in need and all food and gifts are distributed from a centralized location in a fair and equitable manner

Eligible families shop in a store that has been stocked with donated food and merchandise allowing families a sense of choice and dignity The coalition beshylieves that every family is special and that their dignity and privacy need to be preserved The store is stocked with thousands of new items that have been doshynated or purchased with donated funds

The stores are held annually at both Thanksgiving and Christmas Hundreds of volunteers and donors come together to set up the store and help with distribushytion It is truly a community effort to bring the magic of the holidays to every one

Applications for Assistance - Applications in English and Spanish for Thanksgiving and Christmas assistance for 2006 are now available online Clishyents may apply for assistance for both the Thanksgiving and Christmas stores on one application Visit httpinetdocsloudoungovdssdocsholidaycoalitio_ applications_indexhtm

日本語アカデミー

The 2006 Governorrsquos Japanese Language Academy

Sunday July 16 2006 The Japanese Academy was over The closing ceremonies had concluded and my belongings were crammed into my momrsquos car I said my goodbyes and returned to my ldquonormalrdquo life I was leaving an academic enshyvironment in which my only form of communicashytion with the outside world were letters hastily scrawled at night under my covers in near darkness illuminated only by a flashlight I was attempting to evade being caught by one of my せんせい or sensei (teachers) and receiving

punishment for being up past our eleven orsquoclock ldquolights outrdquo curfew As the car rolled away from Virginia Commonwealth University I had already begun reminiscing about what I had just accomshyplished and how it changed my life

On June 25 only eleven days after the start of summer vacation I found myself in the middle of Richmond sitting in an auditorium with my parents and sister at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2006 Governorrsquos Japashynese Language Academy Accompanying me in the audience were 37 other strangers and their families from all over Virginia whom I was going to spend the next three weeks with Feeling like a lab mouse placed in a tank for the purpose of an experiment I was at first timid and quiet as the sensei outlined our curricula ldquoOur goalrdquo they said ldquois to provide you with a yearrsquos worth of instruction in the lanshyguage and culture of Japanrdquo They succeeded Once I said my goodbyes to my parents and sisshyter I was left with my peers and we all began to introduce ourselves and become acquainted with one another I soon knew everyone in the Acadshyemy and became good friends with them all

On the first night after dinner the sensei took us to a classroom and told us that we had to elect within the academy six Presidents to lead us through activities such as parties July 4th celeshybrations (yes we did celebrate) a memory book and activities involving the other five Governorrsquos Language Academies (Latin Russian French Spanish and German) One of my new friends

nominated me and I ran against twelve others for the six spots After the votes were counted the sensei notified me that I had been elected a president Being a very athletic indishyvidual I decided to lead the company whose major job was to coordinate the Global Olymshypics an athletic competition in which each academy hosts one event Realizing early on that this job was not going to be easy I seshylected five other members all with different talents to help maximize the creative output of the company When the day for the Global Olympics finally arrived the JLA came in secshyond place but not without a price I lost my voice for two days thanks to an entire day of screaming

consisting of hiragana for Japanese words and katakana for foreign words Also there is kanji symbols that convey ideas and phrases Being a

beginner I was taught only hiragana and katakana The difficulties emerged when simultaneously learning how to write speak and read Japanese My sensei taught me romaji or Romanized Japanese which is designed to help westerners translate the language Comprehensive learning in this environment demanded constant studying and review With only one hour per day allotshyted for studying time management was esshysential to success I studied as frequently as possible reviewing flashcards reading

notes and speaking to my roommates in Japashynese Waking up at 645 every morning and beshying in bed by 1100 every night when the time came for sleep I never avoided it With a manshydatory four hours of language class per day and

spending another eight hours learning other elements of Japanese the Acadshyemy gave me an illusion of actually being in Japan I often studied well into the night sometimes confining myself to the depths of my closet the only way to avoid being caught awake

In addition to the classroom we went on three field trips one to the Maruchan factory where the entire academy saw how Ramen noodles were made and one to a Japanese garden which

Loudoun County Virginia- In recent days members of the Sheriffrsquos Office Traffic Safety Unit have received numerous complaints of cars passing stopped school buses unloading children

The Sheriffrsquos Office would like to send a friendly reminder to all drivers to obey the signals of school buses as well as crossing guards By ignoring their signals the drivers put the lives of the children and the crossing guard in danger

According to the State Code of Virginia sect 462-859 a person is guilty of reckless driving who fails to stop when approaching from any direction any school bus which is stopped on any highway private road or school driveshyway for the purpose of taking on or discharging children It further states that the driver of a vehicle however need not stop when approaching a school bus if the school bus is stopped on the other roadway of a divided highway on an access road or on a driveway when the other roadway acshycess road or driveway is separated from the roadway on which he is driving by a physical barrier or an unpaved area

In regards to crossing guards per the State Code of Virginia sect 462-834 ldquowhenever any law-enforcement officer assumes control of traffic all drivshyers of vehicles shall obey his signalsrdquo The code also states that all ldquouniformed school crossing guards may control traffic at any marked school crossing whether such crossing is at an intersection or another locationrdquo Disobeying a law enforcement officer or crossing guard who is controlling traffic could result in the driver being charged with Reckless Driving

The Sheriffrsquos Office Traffic Safety Unit wants drivers to please remember to watch for children walking to and from school as they may forget to watch for you

was beautiful The lanterns waterfalls bridges carp and bamboo were all elements of a true Japanese garden We even went to Washington DC and visited the Japanese International Culshytural Center While there we were shown tradishytional Japanese clothing such as kimono and yukata We also learned how to cook Japanese food making yakisoba or fried noodles onigiri rice balls and curry rice We indulged in the fine cuisine of Japan every Sunday when the cafeteshyria at VCU was closed

When it finally came to leave the JLA I did not want to go I had already made plans to visit my new friends within a week after the academy was over When I

A Yukata or summer kimono left I posshysessed knowlshy

edge of an entirely new language and an intershypretation of the world from an entirely different perspective Aside from Japanese I honed my leadership skills through my role as president improved my team working abilities through conshystant interaction with my peers and made true friends whom I still keep in touch with I also learned firsthand the experiences of living in a dormitory away from my family and not having the comforts of home such as my momrsquos cookshying my dadrsquos personality or my sisterrsquos sibling duties All these prepared me for college next year but most importantly I left the Governorrsquos School with a new college major in mindmdash Japanese

LOUDOUN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS PREPARE HYGIENE STRATEGIES

Loudoun County Public Schools has been working closely with the Loudoun County Health Department for pandemic flu preparshyedness Reducing the spread of the flu virus is an important part of this planning Several hygiene measures can help to reduce the likelihood of spread The Centers for Disease Control the Virginia Department of Health and the Loudoun County Health Deshypartment recommend hand washing as one of the most important measures that can be used to prevent the spread of a pandemic flu virus as well as other common viral illnesses In addition covering your cough with a tissue or your sleeve staying 3-5 feet away from people with respiratory illnesses and staying home from work and school when sick are other recommended measures to preshyvent the spread of viral respiratory illnesses Parents are encouraged to remind their children to routinely practice these hygiene measures

As a proactive measure for pandemic flu preparedness a hand washing lesson using a program called ldquoGlo-Germrdquo will be taught in classrooms and health and physical education classes in grades kindergarten though 10th grade beginning in October The lesson includes using a plastic resin with orange and blue colorant and a black light to teach the spread of germs and proper hand washshying

Good hand washing consists of washing hands for at least 15-20 seconds before eating after toileting after coughing or sneezing and after playing with pets or playing outside When soap and water are not available a hand sanitizer with at least 62 alcohol is a good substitute Hand sanitizer dispensers will be installed in classrooms cafeterias libraries and other rooms used by staff and students in all Loudoun County Public Schools beginning in late September 2006
