From Chilton County Chamber of Commerce

The Chilton County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Ascension St. Vincents Chilton has been selected as its 2020 Distinguished Business of the Year. Considered the highest honor bestowed by the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce, the recipient is selected by unanimous approval of the Board of Directors in recognition of a continuous level of exceptional service to the people of Chilton County.

Presentation of the award was made during a ceremony held at the Ascension St. Vincents Chilton facility in Clanton. During the presentation, Billy Singleton, President of the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce stated, Although we would normally make this presentation as part of our annual membership meeting, the circumstances of the past year have created a business and social environment that few of us could have anticipated. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of individual and organizational leaders within our communities who not only step up to meet the challenges of adversity, but who seek opportunities within those challenges to assist in meeting the needs of others. During the past year, as the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged our community, the management and staff of Ascension St. Vincents Chilton earned their reputation as true heroes by providing continuous state of the art medical care and emotional support to the families affected by this terrible virus. The residents of Chilton County are blessed to have this modern medical facility and its dedicated associates serving our community. We look forward to continuing to work with Ascension Health in meeting their commitment of delivering compassionate, personalized care to all with special attention to persons living in poverty.

Serving the residents of Chilton County and Central Alabama since 2016, Ascension St. Vincents Chilton has become an institutional leader within the community. The 30-bed hospital is a full-service community medical facility providing general acute care and outpatient services, including a 24-hour emergency department, diagnostic imaging, inpatient and outpatient surgical services, critical care, wellness services, lab, gastroenterology services, a sleep disorder center, nuclear medicine, mammography, orthopedics and more than 20 specialties from cardiology to general surgery and family medicine.

During the ceremony, Clanton Mayor Jeff Mims presented the award to Ascension St. Vincents Chilton Administrator Shanon Hamilton. In accepting the award, Hamilton thanked Mayor Jeff Mims and the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce for their recognition of Ascension St. Vincents Chilton for their service to the community. We are proud of the commitment our associates have demonstrated during one of the most challenging times we have faced in healthcare, said Hamilton. Our associates truly are heroes, and they are the reason we were selected for this award.

WOODRUFF, Wis. (WAOW) As a part of Ascension through the Howard Young Medical Center, a Sexual Assault Nursing Examiners (SANE) program has been launched.

SANE specializes in forensic care that is provided to sexual assault or sexual abuse victims. SANE nurses undergo advanced trainings and education to fulfill these roles.

The program allows the nurse examiners to collect forensic evaluations and treatments, as well as offering emotional support to victims.

In addition to that, one of the most important roles is collecting and maintaining evidence to prove a sexual assault happened. This evidence can later be used in prosecution.

Victims are usually referred to SANE through police following an initial report of sexual abuse to them.

Program availability in the Northwoods is now providing much needed additional support and resources to rural communities that otherwise would have to travel far for services.

"Sexual assault happens everywhere, and this service is greatly needed in our community," said Sarah Martin, Director of Nursing with Howard Young Medical Center. "Historically, victims from the Northwoods have been forced to go to Weston, or basically the Wausau area for testing."

Martin said having to travel great distances can impact timely data collection as well become an opportunity for additional trauma to a victim.

Martin also said the sooner evidence can be collected, the better chance for prosecution down the line.

From 2017 to 2019, there were 568 Oneida County residents that received sexual assault services. Martin said she hopes having newly available resources close to home will increase the number of people who come forward and report sexual violence.

"Having this resource available to the community; Minocqua, Rhinelander, Eagle River, Tomahawk and not putting our victims through anymore trauma or hardship is essential," Martin said.

Martin said another reason for less than 40% of sexual assault victims reporting crimes to police is not wanting to relive trauma especially in the form of a forensic test.

You do not have to be a victim that reported their crime to police to utilize the SANE program, but Martin encourages victims to report sexual violence and have forensic tests done for potential prosecutions.

The intense national interest in Kim Janeys ascension that her stewardship of Boston could change, or begin to change, perception of the city. It could also change the way the Boston sees itself. But there are some important caveats attached to the Janey era starting with the fact that it could end in November, when Boston holds the final election to replace former mayor Marty Walsh.

Yawu Miller, the senior editor of the Bay State Banner, talks about what its been like as a Black Bostonian to watch the transfer of power from Walsh to Janey, and how the candidates whove already said theyre running can respond to the undeniable advantage Janey now enjoys. First, though, Janey gets some friendly advice from Jane Swift, who ran Massachusetts after Paul Cellucci became ambassador to Canada and might have been elected in 2002, if Mitt Romney had turned his focus to Utah a bit earlier than he did.

Valberry is a fruit that you can find in the Mondstadt region of Teyvat. Heres our guide to help you farm Valberry in Genshin Impact, the ascension material used by Rosaria, Noelle, and Lisa.

Note: For more information about the game, check out our Genshin Impact guides and features hub.

To be clear, Rosaria isnt available yet in Genshin Impact, though should still farm Valberry if you wish to obtain her eventually. Likewise, Valberry is something used by Noelle and Lisa, too. But, I doubt you found much use for these characters if you were able to get better ones in your roster.

Anyway, Valberry is specifically acquired in the Stormbearer Mountains area. Youll be exploring around, battling hilichurls, and climbing cliffs to pick up these fruits. Some of the nodes are even further away, either at the edge of the map or past where you fight the Anemo Hypostasis.

On the bright side, each Valberry node provides four pieces of the fruit. As such, with 19 nodes (at least, these are the ones that weve seen so far), youre looking at 76x Valberry acquired in your farming route every couple of days.

You can refer to the image below to see the Valberry farming locations on Genshin Impacts world map:

Moreover, theres one additional source of Valberry in Genshin Impact, and thats an NPC named Chloris. This kid spawns northeast of the Statue of the Seven in Windrise, walking along the dirt road from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. based on the in-game clock.

She does sell up to five of these materials for 1,000 gold each, so be sure to grab as many as you can. Her stock gets refreshed every three days or so.

In any case, try to amass a lot of Valberry so you can prepare once Rosaria is available in Genshin Impact. She should be around once the Venti banner rerun is replaced by the Childe/Tartaglia banner rerun.

Genshin Impact is available via its official website. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.

Acension Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, MI (courtesy of Acension Michigan)

KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) With the continuing rise of COVID-19 cases across the state and hospitalizations due to the virus, Ascension Borgess has adjusted their visitation policies.

Up until now, most of the hospitals have primarily been operating at a Tier III visitation level recently which allowed one designated visitor per patient for the duration of the visit. But the current COVID-19 situation has dictated the hospital move to a Tier IV no visitor policy stating that no visitors are allowed at any care sites unless it is absolutely necessary to aid in patient care.

This includes Ascension Borgess Hospital, Ascension Borgess-Lee Hospital, and Ascension Borgess-Pip Hospital. However, there are a few exceptions.

One individual is allowed in the Emergency Department, Medical, Surgical, Inpatient Rehabilitation or Intensive Care units who has been appointed to make medical decisions for patients who have been deemed a legally incapacitated individual (guardian) or a support individual for patients for whom a support person has been determined to be essential to the care and safety of the patient.

One support visitor is allowed in Labor and Delivery in addition to a midwife/doula.

One visitor is allowed for outpatient surgery patients the care team will determine where the visitor is allowed to wait.

One visitor is allowed for outpatient radiology and lab if necessary for patient assistance.

One parent/guardian is allowed for pediatric patients in the Emergency Department or any Pediatric Unit (including PICU, NICU, and SCN).

One parent/guardian is allowed for pediatric surgery patients (21 years and younger).

One parent/guardian is allowed for pediatric patients at ambulatory care sites.

Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis relative to the patients individual needs by the management in the patient care area. These restrictions do not apply to end-of-life visitations.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man died Tuesday after he was struck by a vehiclewhile crossing 9 Mile Road in Southfield, police said.

A man died Tuesday after he was struck by a vehicle while crossing 9 Mile Road in Southfield, police said.

According to police, the 54-year-old victim from Fraser was crossing the road near Providence Hospital when he was hit. First responders tried to help the man, but he died from his injuries.

Police have notified the victim's family but are not releasing his name just yet. FOX 2 is told he worked at the hospital as a custodian.

"I just heard the scream and thats when I looked up and saw the person going in the air and down," said witness Branda McCain.

The driver stayed at the scene. Alcohol was not a factor, police said.

The man had been trying to cross the street when he emerged from behind a parked bus and was hit.

A man was struck and killed by a vehicle while crossing 9 Mile Road in Southfield on March 30, 2021.

"We had an employee of the hospital standing behind a bus that was parked at the bus stop across the street," said Deputy Chief Jeff Jagielski, Southfield police. "There was a car proceeding east bound on Nine Mile. The hospital employee ran into the road and was struck by the vehicle traveling eastbound on Nine Mile."

The driver, a woman, was stunned, police say.

"The driver is distraught, upset, naturally as you can imagine," said Jagielski."Its not something anybody wants to have go through, but it did happen and the driver is coping with it."

People who live and work in the area say its a dangerous stretch of roadway.

"We see accidents here all the time, but mostly we see vehicle accidents and this is why Ascension has our crosswalk up there," said McCain. "Were supposed to cross there."

The crash remains under investigation. Anyonewith information is asked to contact Southfield Police at 248-796-5500.

River Region Art Association volunteers were sitting in the Gonzales gallery Saturday waiting for young artists to pick up their art and ribbons from the March Into Art show.

During a lull, larger than life artist John Buckley popped in the door to announce that he was back. Holding a 3D art piece made of recycled Mardi Gras beads, Buckley, who stand over 6 feet tall and sports long hair, distinctive beard and a booming voice, said that while he created pieces for Mardi Gras, "we didn't really have much Mardi Gras."

One by one, Buckley marched in more than a dozen pieces. "These were made for Black History Month, but we really didn't do a show for that, either."

Volunteer Sharon Flanagan was excited to see Buckley again. It had been awhile since Buckley brought in any work for sale at the Gonzales gallery. In fact, it's been a while since the association has seen several artists and customers.

While art has been a popular pastime for many during the coronavirus, typical art shows, festivals that feature art exhibits and art competitions have been limited. And Flanagan said, so has the association's budget stream.

But as Buckley continued to pull art work from his truck, Flanagan said she is hopeful the group's summer art classes and workshops will bring people back to the gallery and more people getting vaccinations will result visits and shopping at the gallery.

As Flanagan and Buckley talked about how his work was be exhibited, in walked twins Madelyn and Isabella Muse. The twins participated in the March into Art contest and stopped by to pick up their art.

"We usually have a reception to honor the young artists, but not this year," Flanagan said. "We wanted to do something, so we set up this safe wa for them to pick up their ribbons and art."

Flanagan said the young talent they see from the entries each year in the group youth art contests give her hope that things will turn around for the gallery.

Some more of that young talent walked in when two sisters picked up their haul of ribbons and artwork. Natalie and Amelia Crawford each had entered several drawings and paintings in the contest and they picked up several first place ribbons.

Both girls said they've been drawing for a long time. Despite their young ages, Amelia is 9, the sisters said they look forward to working on art projects. They picked up a few porcelain bunnies and eggs to paint during an Easter break trip.

Flanagan reminded the girls of the association's upcoming Community Art Exhibit.

The show will be held at the main Ascension Parish Library, 120 S. Irma Blvd., in Gonzales. Categories of art include painting, drawing, mixed media and digital but are not limited to these.

Art will be accepted for exhibition from noon to 4 p.m. April 9 and from 10 a.m. to noon April 10. Arrangements can be made for alternative drop off dates by calling the gallery.

The show is available for viewing April 21-24.

While the budget is tight and visitors few, Flanagan is optimist that things can turn around. She said the gallery adheres to COVID-19 protocols and masks are mandatory.

The gallery is open from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. For information, call (225) 644-8496.

DULUTH, Minn. Sometime last spring, feeling distressed and distracted by all that was going on in the world, the Rev. Mike Schmitz turned to the Bible.

"I realized it was grounding me in a unique way," the Duluth Catholic priest said. "It helped me find a sense of peace."

That gave Schmitz, an avid podcast and audiobook consumer, an idea: If others were seeking similar refuge from the chaos of 2020, why not create a podcast walking them through the holy book?

On Jan. 1, he debuted "The Bible in a Year," a 365-day series of episodes in which he will read aloud and provide commentary on the entire text by the end of 2021.

By the following day, the podcast had soared to the No. 1 spot on Apple's podcast charts, overtaking well-known true crime shows, comedy bits, political programs and news briefings.

"The Bible in a Year" was iTunes' most popular podcast for 17 consecutive days and has remained on Apple's Top 15 list ever since. (As of Thursday it was No. 9.) It has been downloaded more than 33 million times, according to Ascension Press, the Pennsylvania-based Catholic multimedia network in charge of production.

"It was a pleasant surprise because I'm literally just reading the Bible," Schmitz said. "It's just what people are hungry for, and that was really encouraging."

He teamed up with Twin Cities-based Bible scholar Jeff Cavins, who is featured regularly on the podcast to introduce new biblical eras and explain forthcoming characters and themes. Cavins developed the popular "Great Adventure Bible Timeline," which organizes all 73 books into a reading plan centered on the narrative parts of the text.

"A lot of people want to read the Bible, but they don't know how," Cavins said. "You can't look at it as a storybook it's a library of books."

Schmitz and Cavins have years of experience recording other podcasts, which is perhaps why the instant success of "The Bible in a Year" caught them off guard.

"I think God is doing something, to be honest," Cavins said.

At the beginning of each episode, Schmitz introduces the podcast as a way to "encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture."

"The main goal was: How do we allow God's word to speak to us in a small way every single day in such a way that it shapes the way that we see the world?" he said.

Schmitz was raised in Brainerd, Minn., and went to college at St. John's University in Collegeville, Minn., before attending the St. Paul Seminary. The busy priest now juggles the new podcast with his duties as chaplain for the University of Minnesota Duluth's Newman Catholic Campus Ministries and director of youth ministry for the Duluth diocese, so he often records a few episodes at a time, usually early in the morning or late at night.

Each recording is about 20-25 minutes long and avoids mentioning specific dates so listeners can start the series at any time. Ascension also has a Facebook group with about 40,000 members where those listening to "The Bible in a Year" can connect and reflect on the day's readings.

Schmitz doesn't know what will happen once he reads the final verses of Revelations at the end of the year, but he's already mulling ideas for next steps possibly a podcast diving deeper into specific parts of the Bible, like the Gospels, or one exploring the Catholic catechism, which explains the beliefs of the church.

He receives a handful of emails and letters each day from listeners around the world sharing feedback and personal experiences linked to the daily passages. Cavins added that the responses aren't coming from a single demographic he's heard from families who listen to the podcast during breakfast, first-time podcast listeners, educators incorporating the podcast into their curriculum and people of other faiths curious about the Bible.

Like millions of others, each is familiar with the steady voice of the Duluth priest, who tells them at the end of his daily recordings: "I cannot wait to see you tomorrow. God bless."
