Join the Movement: Live Tobacco, Drug & Alcohol Free
Cigarette smoking, which is the most common form of tobacco use, causes approximately 443,000 deaths and costs about $96 billion in medical costs. Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involved an alcohol impaired driver- totaling one death every 48 minutes. Chronic drug use, crime and incarceration are connected - one-half to two-thirds of inmates in jails and State and Federal prisons have alcohol/drug dependence or abuse.
 April is Public Health Month, and the Dare County Department of Public Health is calling on residents to join in the celebration. "A Healthier America Begins Today. Join the Movement" - you are encouraged to learn about the ways you and your family can live healthier and longer lives.
Start small with prevention:
- Quit using tobacco products. Contact the DCDPH to register for tobacco cessation products.
- Make your home smoke-free.
- Avoid binge drinking, use of drugs or the misuse of prescription medications.
- Ensure that youth cannot access alcohol in your home.

Kids First: comprehensive, child-focused, evidence-based, and no charge.
Kids First offers proven-effective evaluation and treatment services for children who have been abused or severely neglected. Our services are comprehensive, child-focused, evidence-based, and are provided at no charge to the families. The goal of our work here at Kids First is to help children who have been sexually or physically abused to heal and to realize that what someone else has done to them does not make them defective.
Kid's First shared the following about predators: Their Aim is to Gain Your Trust FIRST, Before Your Child's This information is taken primarily from the book, The Socially Skilled Child Molester; Differentiating the Guilty from the Falsely Accused (Carla van Dam, Phd; Hayworth Press, 2006). How is it that so many child molesters get by with what they do for decades without ever being caught? First of all, please be aware that they DO very often get by with what they are doing without getting caught. Most likely you know, and perhaps trust and think very highly of, someone who has actually been molesting children for years.
 The answer lies in their uncanny ability to know their territory. They first of all groom adults where the children are. They, in other words, gradually gain the trust and comfort with the adult parents of children in such places as churches, sports clubs, community groups, etc. They focus on the adults, sometimes for months, before ever shifting their attention to the children. It is a gradual, yet very methodical, process that happens without unsuspecting adults having a clue as to what they're up to. By the time they have abused a child, the adults are convinced that the perpetrators are perfectly trustworthy, upstanding citizens who could not possibly do such a thing. Think about this: as adults, we do not like to be so wrong in our

judgement of someone. Surely a child molester could not have fooled us.
The fact is that they are very skilled at fooling adults; it is as if they are the ultimate con artists when it comes to gaining the trust of adults.In order to get all the information you need on the "Socially Skilled Child Molester," please schedule a presentation with Dr. Brown through our agency (just call us at 338-5658).

Run, Ride and Rock
 The Ride to a Wish Foundation was founded in 2009 by a group of volunteers who wanted to give children battling life-threatening illnesses a reason to smile-for just one day, for one hour, or for one moment.

Although the Ride to a Wish is still in its infancy, it is quickly gaining recognition as an effective grassroots organization that utilizes its network of volunteers, vendors, sponsors and donors to achieve great things. Last year alone, the Ride to a Wish Foundation raised over $100,000 to sponsor the wishes of children. 100/50/33 mile cycling event, 5 K and 8 K run, duathlon, ACA Sanctioned Corn Hole Tournament, food, monster truck rides, kid activities, poker runs, raffles and a whole lot more.

Outer Banks Repeaters Association  The Outer Banks Repeater Association, with Amateur Radio Operators from all over Dare and Currituck Counties have been supplying radio coverage for many races on the Outer Banks. Included are stations all along race routes and a bicycle rider with a radio following the race. These "Hams" report needs and incidents in each race as needed.
The 501 (C)3 organization uses donations to upgrade their many repeaters in Dare and Currituck Counties, and to adding additional repeaters in the area to fill in gaps. They also man the fire and rescue stations in Dare, and the Dare Emergency Operations Center during times of emergency such as Hurricane Irene, and supply needed backup communication at events such as the ferry service during the Hurricane.
Currently the OBRA is conducting Amateur License classes in cooperation with the Nags Head Fire and Police at Fire Station 16 across the road from the Town Municipal Center.

Uniting NC
works to make North Carolina a place that respects and values immigrants. They pursue their mission by hosting events that bring people of all backgrounds together for meals, films and conversation, producing public service announcements, billboards and videos that reveal the humanity of immigrants. and are building a state-wide corps of volunteers working to make their communities more welcoming.
They are looking for volunteers to take the idea of building respect and understanding and run with it in our community.
Here are a few of the types of events United NC can help us put on:
- The Immigration Board Game: Bring a small group of people together to play this game that demonstrates the complexities and pitfalls of the U.S. immigration system, and explains why so many immigrants cannot get legal status.
- Film Screening: Host a screening of one of many films that explores the lives of immigrants. This can be in your living room, or in a large public venue. Contact us for more info about how to get a film.
- Community Dialogue: A facilitated discussion about cultural change and immigration, which encourages people to speak from personal experience.
- Speaker: If you have a willing audience, we can help you find a great speaker who will tell their immigration story.
- Community Event: Help put together a potluck, service project or social event that brings together immigrants and non-immigrants
Maybe plan and event as part of an existing one, such as a church service, book club gathering or civic club meeting that would draw people who might not normally come to an immigrant-related event. If you decide to take on one of these projects, United NC will support you in all kinds of ways. We might be able to give you a small stipend for supplies, provide volunteers to facilitate discussion, loan you a film to show, or give you any advice you need. If you're ready to start planning, contact Uniting NC Director Kristin Collins, kristin@unitingnc.org, or Volunteer Coordinator Kim Swanson,volunteer@unitingnc.org.

Dare County in top 5 for Health Outcomes
 MATCH (Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health) were released on April 3, showing Dare County ranked 5th in Health Outcomes out of 100 North Carolina counties in the report conducted by the University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dare was in the top 5 along with Wake, Orange, Union and Mecklenburg countiesin the third annual MATCH county health rankings report.
Researchers used five measures to assess the level of health or "health outcomes" by county: the rate of people dying before age 75, the percent of people who report being in fair or poor health, the number of days people report being in poor physical or mental health, and the rate of low birth weight infants.
The MATCH rankings consider health factors within 4 categories: health behavior, clinical care, social & economic factors, and physical environment. Among the many health factors, they look at: smoking, obesity, excessive drinking, access to healthcare, air pollution levels, access to recreational facilities and healthy foods, rates of unemployment, high school graduation, and violent crime, as well as the number of children living in poverty. Dare ranked 14th in Health Factors out of 100 counties.
The current rankings for Dare are an improvement from last year where Dare County was 6th in Health Outcomes and 23rd in Health Factors. The rankings are a collection of reports that compare data from a variety of sources to determine the rankings of counties in every state across the nation. Put together, these factors provide an overview of the health of our community- including both our strengths and weaknesses-and demonstrate that where we live matters.
 The full County Health Rankings Report is available online at www.countyhealthrankings.org. For more information on this report, or how you can be a part of local efforts to improve the health of our community, please contact The Dare County Department of Public Health's Health Education & Outreach Supervisor, Laura Willingham at 252.475.5079.
