The couple met at MU while both were sophomores in the nursing program. DUTIES Continued from Page 1 would transport critically in- jured patients there and re- turn with patients for follow- re, just to keep the beds [ ¥ ship open for the most seriously injured. The relief effort took on an international flavor when teams from Mexico and Co- lumbia arrived in mid-Febru- ary. “Even though there was a language barrier, we worked well together and successful- ly helped each other out,” Williams said. The son of Nancy and Hank Williams, of Dallas, the lieutenant colonel has some amazing numbers to report from the 29-day deployment. The team treated more than 1,250. patients from newborn to 77 years old, performed 64 surgeries and assisted a Mex- ican orthopedic surgical team with 34 additional sur- geries. There were a few ba- by deliveries along the way, including one woman who delivered in the tent while surgery was being perform- ed. Williams returned to Hon- duras on Feb. 29. He was ex- pected to complete his tour ®° there in June and re- t to his home base, Kees- ler Air Force Base in Biloxi, LAW Continued from Page 1 Fox said. Tying up loose ends, Malak was authorized to research possi- ble legal action against Pasonick Engineering for the 537 plan, a sewage enforcement plan enact- ed about two and half years ago by the former municipal author- ity. Malak will work with the De- partment of Environmental Pro- tection and the Dallas Area Mu- nicipal Authority to make sure there are no deficiencies in the plan. In other business, the resigna- tion of Joann Wright as planning commission secretary was ac- cepted. Supervisors made a rec- ommendation to the Planning Commission that Denise Rittin- ger, township secretary, serve as secretary. Supervisors approved a re t to apply a fee of $1,000 for @ iin to reserve use of the fields at the Jackson Town- ship Recreational Park. Wilkes said the recreation board is al- ready charging the fee to Back Mountain Soccer, Back Moun- tain Baseball and the Back Moun- tain Lacrosse teams. “It pays for the general upkeep of the park,” he said. The next meeting of the Jack- son Township supervisors will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, in the municipal building. Miss., to be reunited with his wife, fellow Misericordia nursing graduate Karen Ann Haduck, R.N., ’88, and their daughters Amanda, 17, and Dana, 12. He and Karen, a native of Pittston, met during their sophomore year in the Miser- icordia nursing program. Fol- lowing graduation, Karen went into civilian nursing practice and her husband en- tered ROTC, serving for sev- en years before enrolling in the Uniformed Services Uni- versity of the Health Sci- ences for anesthesia training.

PA 18612 675-2143 DISABLED Continued from Page 1 was born in a nondescript, aca- demic setting at Misericordia University. In teaching the Environmental Aspects of Disabilities course for MU’s occupational therapy pro- gram, Anson noticed that some of his students did not clearly un- derstand the complicated ADA standards for signage, slopes and other applications. “Some of the standards for ac- cessibility are hard to grasp with- out actual demonstration,” he ex- plained. “In an effort to find a bet- ter way to enable the students, I came up with instruments to help them test the difficult features more easily.” His rudimentary, hand-built prototypes were developed fur- ther with the assistance of design engineers at Pride Mobility Cor- poration in Exeter. The end result is a product that offers quick answers to questions of accessibility. The multifaceted Story Stick, for example, identi- fies barriers to wheeled accessi- bility along sidewalks and hall- ways, while also measuring a wide range of height require- ments from desktops to light switches. The kit also includes the Multi Tool, Door Force Tool, Stop Watch, Key Torque Tool, Spirit Level, Light Level Meter, Magic Slope Block, Sound Level Meter, Font Guide and Tape Mea- sure. “Slopes are specified by the ADA in grade ratios such as 1:12 or 1:48,” Anson says, explaining how the Magic Slope Block is uti- lized for the complicated mea- surement. “People with limited math skills may find it difficult to assess slopes. The block takes the difficulty out of the process by providing a simple pass-fail test.” The standards for accessible signage, likewise, are very com- plex. They are described in terms of ratios based on the height of a letter. The ratios are complex enough that many signmakers cannot reliably interpret them, according to Anson. The ADA- CAT Font Guide helps determine whether signage meets mandat- ed requirements. ” Is that fire extinguisher ex- tended too far out from the wall? Does the height of water flow from a drinking fountain meet ac- ceptable standards? The Multi Tool can determine that. The Door Force Tool measures whether a door is too hard to open or close. The Key Tool as- sesses the ability of a person with limited hand function to turn a key in a lock. The Sound Level and Light Level meters check whether sounds and illumination are in appropriate specified rang- es. The Tape Measure marks the width of hallways and doors, the height of signage and barriers, and clearances under desks and tables. The market for the kit includes occupational and physical ther- apists who teach others how to assess facilities for ADA compli- ance. It also includes managers of public facilities ranging from schools to independent living centers to public parks and coun- ty fair grounds. Disability sup- port groups in communities could also use it.
