Please Join the Legislative Advocate Network
Concerned about funding of services provided by The Arc of Orleans County? Worried about how the Governor-elect’s budget may affect the services you or your family member currently enjoys? The Arc of Orleans County’s parent organization, NYSARC, Inc., has a rich history of legislative advocacy. During these very uncertain political and economic times, NYSARC along with its chapters and other major not-for-profit agencies serving people with disabilities are working together to educate the Governor-elect and the legislature on the critical importance of maintaining funding for our services. The next critical step in NYSARC’s ongoing efforts is the establishment of the Legislative Advocate Network (LAN) to provide families, self advocates, members, staff, and other supporters with the latest legislative information that affects our association and services for people with disabilities. NYSARC will keep the LAN up-to-date with the latest legislative information, from public appearances to pending policies. NYSARC will also provide training and additional resources.If you would like to become a member of the Legislative Advocate Network and work to advocate on behalf of thousands of people with disabilities and their families, please email Kellie Spychalski, Assistant Executive Director of The Arc of Orleans County at kspychalski@arcoforleans.org. Members of the LAN will be sent a welcome packet and will then be kept informed on a regular basis through e-alerts, the NYSARC & Arc of Orleans County website, and phone calls. In the event of significant threats to our programs and services, we will ask that LAN members move quickly. Your advocacy is critical!

Kevin Robison Named Arc Employee of the Month - September 2010
The Arc of Orleans County’s PERKs (Proud of our Employees Recognition K(c)ommittee) team is proud to announce that Kevin Robison has been named Employee of the Month for September 2010. As an Employment Specialist at Career Ventures, Kevin’s primary responsibilities are to assist people in finding employment through the Employment Training Program. In order to help his team members manage their many duties, Kevin has also been working with several others in the supported employment program and waiver follow along program. During September, Kevin placed three individuals in community based internships. This is not an easy task! Kevin made himself available to help coach the individuals and their employers to ensure a smooth transition. One of the individuals has limited mobility and needs assistance with eating and toileting. Kevin has been assisting this individual with these tasks until an aide can be hired even though they are not part of his traditional job duties. Thank you Kevin for going above and beyond for the people we serve and your co-workers! Congratulations!

What to watch for in a developing child
We get the call from time to time from a worried parent: My child isn’t doing X, yet? Should we be worried?
Often times, no, because children develop differently, and some delays can be easily remedied. But sometimes, delays builds on top of delay and can signal a developmental disability.
In particular, we encourage parents to watch their children if they show signs of regressing to an earlier point of development. And if they suspect problems, get an evaluation and assistance early. It will make everyone’s life easier.

An easy, nutritious meal
Icy roads, cold weather. Snow. It’s just awful to drive in, yet try to get by in Orleans County without driving.
For elderly people in particular, the winter can be a hazard – a nutritional one. If you’re afraid the roads are dangerous, you’re more likely to stay home and make do with what’s in the cupboard than go out and do the essential shopping.
That’s a tough call. Certainly, we wouldn’t suggest you drive when it’s not safe. But we don’t want you to endure poor nutrition, either. Certainly, anybody who can’t get out can contact our Meals on Wheels program. In fact, perhaps you should, anyhow, because it’s a cost-effective, easy way to get a well-balanced meal.
But if you’re stuck, here’s one of our favorite meals, which can be made entirely from stuff that keeps in the cupboard or fridge:
1 16-ounce can of beans (pick your favorite) drained and rinsed
½ cup peas (canned or frozen)
½ cup corn (canned or frozen)
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
½ tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 cup cooked rice (brown rice has more fiber and a nice, nutty flavor)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
Saute garlic, carrot and onion briefly in a small amount of oil. Add rice, broth and bay leaf and cayenne and bring to a simmer. Add remaining ingredients and cook until the liquid is absorbed.
You can change the vegetables, of course. And you can spice any way you want – we’re particularly fond of hot sauce, but you can try it with a splash of lemon juice, oregano and basil, too. Or maybe some cumin and coriander and a bit of chili powder.
The best part is that it’s nutritious, easy, and probably already available.

We’ll keep your car clean, even in winter
Winter in western New York can be idyllic – a sea of white from horizon to horizon. Enough cold to make the season a challenge and to tease Southern friends who think three inches is a national emergency.
But it’s a real mess for the car. Seriously. Outside, the salt and mud eat away at the underside, reduce visibility and the effectiveness of your headlights, and really add to your dry-cleaning bill.
And inside, all the grit from the road just weaves its way into the carpeting and dust blows all through the engine compartment. And sometimes you have to be careful that the water from melting snow doesn’t create a mildew problem.
About the only thing worse than all that is trying to clean your car in winter. The spray from the hose leads to cold, chapped hands, and who wants to climb into the car with a vacuum cleaner when it’s below freezing?
These are things our crew at Arc’s Detailing Shop understand. They’ll get into the crevices were dirt and mildew can hide, and the externals nooks and crannies that always seem to leave a smear of mud on your jacket.
It’s their job and their career. It’s not yours. Check them out at:
Gardner’s Citgo
11337 Maple Ridge Rd.
Medina, NY 14103
And make an appointment by calling 585-708-1897 or 585-798-4023.
