Pet of the Week: Meet Tanner
Hi I am Tanner, a male Chihuahua mix. I am 6 months old and the smallest of the litter at just 16 pounds, I probably will not get much bigger than I am right now.
I am very shy and it will take a little reassurance to get to know me. But once I do get to know you I am a typical puppy. I am neutered and up to date on my vaccinations.
I like toys and playing with my siblings. Most of the outside world is new to me, and I will need help learning my house training.
If you think you may be interested in Tanner you can stop by the shelter Tuesday-Saturday 10a.m.-2:30p.m. for a kennel walk-through, and pick up an application while you are there.

Kiggans Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Increase Access to Nurses
Joins forces with Joyce, Underwood, and Armstrong to improve quality of care, lower costs
WASHINGTON, DC: Today, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02), a Vice Chair of the Congressional Nursing Caucus, announced she has introduced the Improving Care and Access to Nurses (I CAN) Act alongside Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14), Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL-14). This bipartisan legislation would increase healthcare access, improve quality of care, and lower costs by removing the remaining barriers imposed by the federal government in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that prevent Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) from practicing the full scope of their education and clinical training. Additional co-sponsors of the bill include Representatives Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), Kelly Armstrong (ND-AL), Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Adrian Smith (NE-03), Glenn Grothman (WI-06), Chris Pappas (NH-01), and Ann McLane Kuster (NH-02).
“As a nurse practitioner, it has always frustrated me that Medicare and Medicaid programs have barriers in place that prevent nurses from caring for patients to the full extent of their abilities,” said Congresswoman Kiggans. “Limiting the care our nurses can provide is the last thing we should be doing when our nation is facing a healthcare worker shortage. That’s why I’m proud to introduce the ICAN Act. By removing the federal barriers that prohibit nurses from practicing to the full scope of their education and training, this bipartisan bill will expand access to healthcare, reduce costs for patients, and ensure all Virginians can receive the high-quality care they deserve.”
“Nurses are on the frontlines of the effort to ensure that Americans have access to the healthcare they need, but outdated federal restrictions are limiting patients’ access to care,” said Congressman Joyce, Co-Chair of the Congressional Nursing Caucus. “By removing these unnecessary federal barriers that prevent Advanced Practice Registered Nurses from carrying out their duties, our bipartisan bill will increase access to care and strengthen patient choice. That’s why I am proud to join this effort with my colleagues to expand access to care, lower patient costs, and ensure every Ohioan can receive services from the healthcare provider of their choice.”
“Nurse practitioners and other advanced practice registered nurses provide a vast range of quality care, but their ability to serve patients on Medicare and Medicaid is unfairly constrained by outdated restrictions. The Improving Care and Access to Nursing Act (I CAN Act) will remove barriers and allow nurses to care for more patients, which will improve care and reduce costs. I’m pleased to introduce this bipartisan legislation with my Nursing Caucus colleagues Reps. Joyce, Underwood, and Kiggans,” said Congresswoman Bonamici, Co-Chair of the Congressional Nursing Caucus.
“As a registered nurse and vice chair of the Congressional Nursing Caucus, I’m focused on ensuring Advance Practice Registered Nurses can practice to the full extent of their education and training,” said Congresswoman Underwood, Vice Chair of the Congressional Nursing Caucus. “The evidence is clear: lifting practice barriers for APRNs is safe and makes financial sense. I’m pleased to join my colleagues in introducing the I CAN Act to remove outdated barriers to practice for APRNs and expand access to high-quality health care.”
“Workforce shortages throughout the long-term care sector have already strained older adults’ and families’ access to critical services and supports—and demand will only grow as America’s population rapidly ages. By expanding the scope of practice for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) in hospice, skilled nursing and other critical areas, the Improving Care and Access to Nurses (I-CAN) Act removes current barriers that inhibit the efficient use of the valuable APRN workforce and expands APRNs’ impact, which will improve older adults and families’ ability to get the care they need. We applaud the work of the Congressional Nursing Caucus and thank Reps Joyce, Bonamici, Underwood, and Kiggans for their leadership of the Caucus and on this important legislation. Solving the aging services workforce crisis requires action on all fronts; we appreciate this bill’s contribution,” said Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO, LeadingAge, the association of nonprofit providers of aging services.
“AANA thanks Representatives Joyce, Bonamici and the Congressional Nursing Caucus for introducing theImproving Care and Access to Nurseslegislation. As the only anesthesia provider in most rural hospitals, and the predominant provider in underserved communities, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) play an important role in maintaining critical access in communities across the country. Yet unnecessary regulations serve as barriers to expanding care, especially at a time when those same communities face a shortage of providers. This critical legislation is an answer to workforce shortages in healthcare, as it will reduce barriers to help ensure that everyone who needs access to the high-quality care Advance Practice Registered Nurses such as CRNAs provide, can have it,” said AANA President Angela Mund, DNP, CRNA.
“The American College of Nurse-Midwives applauds the introduction of legislation that recognizes the critical role midwives and APRNs play in providing high-quality health care throughout the lifespan. We are especially grateful for the recognition of the valuable role of midwives as educators to obstetric and gynecologic learners in our nation’s medical teaching facilities, as interprofessional collaboration is key to improving and preventing maternal mortality and morbidity. It is critical that health policy, laws, and regulations facilitate the most efficient relationships between health care professionals and create systems in which midwives and other APRNs can communicate openly, practice collaboratively, and provide quality care. The Improving Care and Access to Nurses Act ensures that certified nurse-midwives can bring their evidenced-based skillset and knowledge to fully meet the needs of their patients,” stated ACNM President, Heather Clarke, DNP, CNM, APRN, LM, FACNM.
“The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) applauds the introduction of the ICAN Act. This legislation will improve our health care system, retire barriers to practice, and enable patients to receive timely access to high-quality care from their chosen health care provider. Nurse practitioners (NPs) practice in nearly every health care setting and provide high-quality care to patients across the life span. The millions of patients who choose NPs as their health care providers should have equitable access to the health care they deserve. The ICAN Act will move health care delivery forward for patients, providers and our nation,”said AANP President April Kapu, DNP, APRN, ACNP-BC, FAANP, FCCM, FAAN.
“The ICAN Act will improve care for millions of Americans by updating the Medicare and Medicaid programs and enabling APRNs to practice to the top of their education and clinical training, like they did at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The patients and communities being served by these nurses will get improved access to care, from the provider of their choice. This is especially true for those living in underserved communities who are often faced with a shortage of providers. By removing these significant legislative barriers, the ICAN Act marks an important step towards creating a more efficient, effective, and equitable health care delivery system. I want to thank Rep. Joyce, Rep. Bonamici, Rep. Underwood, and Rep. Kiggans for introducing this bill and for their commitment to nurses and the nursing profession,” said ANA President Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, PhD, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN.
“On behalf of the Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA), we commend Reps. Joyce, Bonamici, Kiggans, and Underwood on reintroducing the Improving Care and Access to Nurses (ICAN) Act. This bill would greatly help hospice and palliative nurses, particularly APRNs, better care for patients and their families by improving access to the highest level of treatment and dignity, including at the end of life. The ICAN Act is essential in supporting the health and welfare of communities throughout the country, and we look forward to working with policymakers and stakeholders to help advance this important legislation,” said Michelle Webb, DNP, RN, CHPCA, President, HPNA and Ginger Marshall, MSN, ACNP-BC, ACHPN, FPCN, CEO, HPNA.
BACKGROUND
APRNs are nurses prepared at the master or doctoral level to provide primary, acute, chronic and specialty care to patients of all ages and backgrounds, and in all settings. Their qualifications enable them to treat and diagnose illnesses, advise the public on health issues, manage chronic disease, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medication, and direct non-pharmacologic treatments for their patients. Over 40 years of vigorous, peer reviewed research has verified the safety, quality, satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of APRN care. This has led the National Academy of Sciences to call for the removal of laws, regulations, and policies that prevent APRNs from providing the full scope of health care services they are educated and trained to provide.
Currently, several federal statutes and regulations, as well as certain state practice acts and institutional rules, require physician oversight and limit APRN practice. These barriers reduce access to care, create disruptions in care, increase the cost of care, and undermine efforts to improve the quality of care. Specifically, the I CAN Act would remove remaining barriers in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that prevent APRNs from practicing to the full extent of their education and clinical training. Importantly, this bill does not expand scope of practice or impede upon state law. Rather, the bill simply ensures that the federal government honors state law, ensuring that Medicare and Medicaid patients living in states where nurses have already been granted full practice authority are permitted to choose to seek care from a nurse practitioner.
Kiggans Introduces Legislation to Modernize the VA
WASHINGTON, DC: Today, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) released the following statement after introducing H.R. 2499, the VA Supply Chain Management System Authorization Act. H.R. 2499 would bring much needed modernization and efficiency to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by authorizing the purchasing and implementation of the supply chain management IT system for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The systems will be implemented with a focus on inventory management, beginning with a pilot program at one location and interfacing with existing supply chain systems as opposed to replacing whole systems.
“The VA medical supply chain runs on old IT systems, making it difficult to manage in the best of times,” said Congresswoman Kiggans. “It is critical that doctors and nurses have the supplies they need when they need them. However, recent years have shown us that supply chains can break, and medical providers can be left without enough supplies, putting veterans at risk. My bill would modernize VA’s supply chain IT system, focus it on exactly what doctors and nurses need, and make sure VA is being responsible with taxpayer dollars. Importantly, my legislation would avoid past mistakes that caused previous efforts to modernize this system to fail so that medical professionals have what they need to provide veterans excellent care.”
BACKGROUND
A previous effort to modernize the VA supply chain IT system was projected to cost billions of dollars and was so large and ill-suited for VA that it failed before it even got started. H.R 2499 seeks to avoid the failures of the past by requiring the Department to modernize and streamline the most important areas of the VA’s medical supply chain IT system, which will have direct benefits for medical staff and the veterans who get care at VA.
History Notes this week of April 16
1446: Death of Filippo Brunelleschi (b.1377), designer and chief engineer of the dome topping the Florence cathedral. The span and weight of the dome was orders of magnitude larger than ever previously attempted, and Brunelleschi’s innovative thinking and close supervision of the project ensured its successful completion.
1452: Birth of Leonardo da Vinci (d.1519).
1492: Genovese mariner Christopher Columbus signs a contract with the Spanish Court to find a direct ocean passage to the Indies.
1521: At the Diet of Worms ( an imperial conclave of secular and ecclesiastical nobility; Worms: a city in Germany), the monk Martin Luther is excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church for heresy and denying the authority of the pope. During his cross-examination he is repeatedly asked,“Do you recant?” (i.e., from his writings on the nature of forgiveness). In his timeless reply, he firmly responds, “Unless I am convicted by scripture and plain reason – I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other – my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me, Amen!“
1534: Sir Thomas More is imprisoned in the Tower of London. More was asked to appear before a commission and swear his allegiance to the parliamentary Act of Succession. More accepted Parliament’s right to declare Anne Boleyn the legitimate Queen of England, though he refused “the spiritual validity of the king’s second marriage”,and, holding fast to the teaching of papal supremacy, he steadfastly refused to take the oath of supremacy of the Crown in the relationship between the kingdom and the church in England.
1755: Publication of Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language. The project was contracted for three years, but took nine, and remained the standard for our native tongue until publication of the first Oxford English Dictionary in 1928.
1770: Captain James Cook in HMS Endeavour arrives at New South Wales and begins exploration and survey of the Great Barrier Reef.
1789: George Washington leaves his Mount Vernon home, enroute to New York City for his inauguration as the first President of the United States.
1861: Union forces abandon and burn the Gosport Navy Yard in Portsmouth, Virginia. Confederate engineers poking through the smoldering wreckage are later able to salvage the lower hull of USS Merrimack and convert it into the ironclad gunboat CSS Virginia.
1867: Birth of aviator, first in flight, Wilbur Wright (d.1912).
1881: Bat Masterson’s last shootout. In support of his brother James, sheriff of Dodge City, the elder Masterson travels from Tombstone, Arizona to confront and shoot two criminals who were terrorizing the Kansas cattle town. No one was killed, although several were injured. A jury reasoned that his actions were essentially in keeping with the laws of the city at the time and fined him $8.00 for disturbing the peace.
1889: Birth of Adolf Hitler (d.1945), in the town of Braunau am Inn, in Austria-Hungary.
1894: Birth of Nikita Khrushchev (d.1971), Soviet Premiere of the 50s and 60s.
1903: Birth of Eliot Ness (d.1957). The head of “The Untouchables” of the nascent FBI, who finally nailed Chicago gangster Al Capone on Tax Evasion charges.
1920: The League of Nations recognizes the Balfour Declaration and creates the British Mandate of Palestine from lands ceded by the Ottoman Empire at the close of the Great War.
1927: Mae West is sentenced to 10 days in jail for obscenity from her recent play Sex. She ended up serving 8 days, with 2 off for good behavior, and ate dinners with the warden, “…and I wore silk underwear while I was in jail.”
1939: Baseball player and US Navy F9F Panther pilot (WWII) Ted Williams’ first major league hit, a double. His last hit was a home run on September 28th, 1960 at Fenway Park.
1945: Lieutenant Colonel Boris Pash, USA, seizes 1,100 tons of enriched uranium in Strassfurt, Germany. The Nazis were not collecting it to make glowing watch faces, but you probably deduced that part. It would be fair to say this capture was a close run thing in the race for atomic weapons, if not for the incipient Nazi threat, but also for the chance that our Soviet “allies” could have found it first.
1945: Soldiers of the Soviet Red Army enter Berlin.
1947: Birth of Lew Alcindor, who later became Kareem Abdul-Jabar, holder of the NBA record for points scored, six MVP awards and six NBA championships.
1951: Mickey Mantle steps on-field for his first game with the New York Yankees.
1952: First flight of Boeing’s B-52 Stratofortress. Note: one third of our nation’s nuclear triad depends on a 71 year old airplane design.
1953: USS New Jersey (BB-62) shells communist forces in and around Wonsan Harbor from Wonsan Harbor itself.
1955: Volkswagen opens its first U.S. dealership in Englewood, NJ. An invasion of Beetles follows.
1961: First day of the Bay of Pigs invasion, a failed military landing operation on the southwestern coast of Cuba in 1961 by Cuban exiles, covertly financed and directed by the United States. It was aimed at overthrowing Fidel Castro’s communist government. The operation took place at the height of the Cold War, and its failure influenced relations between Cuba, the United States, and the Soviet Union.
1964: The British press sensationally reports sentencing of “307 Years” for the 12 men involved in the August ’63 Great Train Robbery. The heist netted 2.6 million pounds in used English bank notes. The perpetrators received individual sentences ranging from 10 to 30 years.
1970: After a harrowing trip around the moon and manual course corrections made by sightings through the LM windows along the limb of the earth, Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell, and crew Fred Haise and Jack Swigert make a successful splashdown within sight of the recovery ship USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2).
1972: Launch of Apollo 16, the fifth of six total Apollo flights to land on the moon. Astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke spend just under three days on the surface and collect more than 200 pounds of rock samples. Thomas Mattingly remained with the command module in lunar orbit.
1972: Apollo 16 successfully lands on the Moon. The landing was delayed 7 hours when a control rocket failed in the command module just after Lunar Module (LM) separation. Rather than descend to the surface and risk missing the lunar ascent rendezvous, the LM crew of John Young** and Charlie Duke flew formation on Ken Mattingly in the CM until the problem was solved. The delay cut from three to two the number of excursions taken in the lunar buggy but the instrumentation set up and 212 pound haul of lunar rocks made the mission an outstanding scientific success.
1978: A Korean Air Lines jetliner is forced down by the Soviet Air Force. Deviating with a sudden turn to the east from its normal Paris-Seoul polar flight route, the aircraft was intercepted crossing into Soviet airspace. Instead of landing at the airport indicated by the Soviet fighters, the crew put the plane down with a hard landing on a frozen lake south of Murmansk. Two passengers were killed and several others injured. Soviet authorities were “amazingly unhelpful” in helping to understand the incident.
1989: A massive explosion in turret 2 of USS Iowa (BB-61) kills 47 sailors. The initial investigation did not conclusively determine the actual cause of the disaster, with potential theories ranging from a suicide by a disgruntled gunner, to unstable powder, to faulty training and procedures, to the usual leadership and management finger-pointing. A second investigation studied in great detail the condition of the powder in the silk bags, first milled in 1930’s, and came to the conclusion that improper powder storage during Iowa’s 1988 overhaul created conditions that generated highly flammable ether gas inside the bags. Iowa’s turret was cleaned and stabilized but was never fired again. The ship was decommissioned in October of 1990, was struck from the Naval Register in 2006, and is now a museum ship at the port of San Pedro, California.
1998: Death of Pol Pot (b.1925), Cambodian revolutionary, dictator, and politician who ruled Cambodia as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea between 1976 and 1979. He was a leading member of Cambodia’s communist movement, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 until 1997 and he served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea[d] from 1963 to 1981. His administration converted Cambodia into a one-party communist state and perpetrated the Cambodian genocide.
Marcus Holman: Coastal Virginia’s Photographer
Photography embraces almost all genres, notably portrait art, landscapes, and still lifes, and captures everyday scenes with immediacy and directness. During a couple of seasons of Experimental Film Virginia, I had the pleasure of working with a photographer that captures all of that–Marcus Holman. Using line, form, light, and depth, Marcus creates a unique vision that is passionate and personal, but also embodies so much of what we love about living in the 757. He is Coastal Virginia’s photographer of record.
Find out more about his work at: https://www.marcusholmanphotography.com/
Below is a post from Mr. Hollman’s Facebook page, which we think truly sums up his passion for the work:
With the rise of digital photography and the abundance of smartphones, it’s easy to forget the value of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. As a professional photographer, I take pride in creating beautiful and meaningful work that goes beyond just capturing an image.
For me, photography is not just about taking a picture, but it’s also about telling a story, capturing emotions, and creating lasting memories. It’s about the little details that make a big difference, like the way the light falls on a subject’s face, the perfect angle to capture a unique perspective, or the subtle adjustments in post-processing to enhance the overall image.
To me, attention to detail is everything. It’s what sets my work apart from the rest and gives meaning to the product and process. Just like a chef who carefully selects and prepares each ingredient to create a delicious meal or a sculptor who meticulously shapes every curve and line to create a work of art, I believe that the value of my work lies in the attention I give to every detail.
I want to invite you to experience the difference that attention to detail can make in your photography. Whether you’re looking for a professional headshot, family portraits, or event photography, I can guarantee that my work will exceed your expectations.
Even in the digital age, film is still relevant
Digital photography is great, the resolution in even point-and-shoot cameras, which is often 12 to 20 megapixels, is high enough resolution for large prints. Digital cameras also have the advantage of being able to change film speeds between individual photographs. The cameras are generally lighter weight than film cameras, and memory cards are tiny and can store many images. Of course, there is instant gratification and images can be viewed immediately.
Is film photography still relevant?
One area where film has a clear advantage over digital is in natural light. Film is meant to be shot in natural light, and that’s where it thrives. It is much more forgiving when it comes to overexposure, and it doesn’t blow out highlights as easily as digital cameras.
Digital camera sensors, are made up of millions of tiny squares that store ‘data’. Film isn’t split up in such a linear way, so, it naturally blends light and colors better. One of the worst things about digital cameras is also one of the best things about film, the grain. The grain that you get from film is much more pleasing and natural than digital cameras, and it adds to the texture and character of the photo.
One of the best things about film is how tactile it is. Digital images require working computers with specific software to become visible. Film, on the other hand, you can see the picture stored on film with a naked eye. You can store them in a box, and then pick the photo up and hold it. When my dad passed away, I inherited his huge trove of photographs (many boxes), some going back to the 1920s. Will someone be able to retrieve the digital images of your life after you are gone? Where will they find them?
PetaPixel recommends archiving the most important digital images on film. Bit rot — or file loss/corruption — can destroy images completely. Physical medium such as film is not susceptible to bit rot. Negatives degrade in a slow, predictable fashion over hundreds of years.
99.999% of all black and white digital images are full-colour photographs converted to monochrome. The conversion involves using a filter to destroy colour information.
Capturing images in true black and white has the advantage of retaining more detail with better handling of various light sensitivities. This technology is cheap on film and available in all formats. Digital cameras that capture greyscale images w/o downsampling colour are few and extremely expensive; see Sony A6000 Monochrome and Leica Monochrom.
Analogue camera’s lack of instant feedback — as you often have to shoot an entire roll and wait for the lab to send back the photos.
And this is a good thing.
