Notes from our Executive Director

Well summer is over so we should see 100 degree days for only a couple of more months. Yes it is hot and sometimes muggy or on a glorious day, even raining. However we will not have to shovel ourselves out, slide on the ice or use more than a blanket after we turn the A/C off. These trade- offs are something most of us seem willing to accept. Enjoy the rain. The end of our fiscal year is upon us and we expect another solid year as far as the financial part of business goes. However we are really not getting the word out to Veterans who are member eligible. The vast amount of services and potential for quality of life improvements should be shared with all veterans; many of whom do not even realize the far reaching scope of their benefits. Two new clinics opened this year; a two exam room in Tucson and a complete three exam private clinic in Phoenix. If you like the new facilities, or if you have had problems, please feel free to call the National Service Office 602-627-3311 or the Chapter at 602-244-9168 and let us know. We will have our Annual Trap Shoot at the Tucson Trap and Skeet Club on October 25th-26th; our Pistol Shoot is the 24th and will be limited to the first 25 registered shooters. We have the rooms set at the Casino Del Sol with eleven (11) wheelchair accessible rooms. We are looking forward to a good turnout of local shooters. Cyndee has been busy and has at least three (3) casinos who have donated nights and other gifts. Prizes will be Cabala’s Gift cards. Come enjoy yourself as this should be a great event. The Chapter is presently getting ready to close out this year and has numerous undertakings planned for next year. The State Fair is going to be a big part of our outreach in October and if you would like to volunteer for a few shifts please call the Chapter. If you volunteer please make sure you can do it and if an issue comes up please call a live person so we can cover that shift. We are happy to announce a long time partner and friend “Coach” Peter Hughs is the new Peer Support Director at Direct and will be working with us to co-host more events in Southern Arizona. Hopefully this will help us find additional veterans in need; along with some possible new members. Thank you for your support. Please update any changes in your contact information, especially email addresses. It is very time consuming and challenging for the Chapter to do this on our own. Enjoy the fall weather!

Notes from our NSO

HISA Home Improvement and Structural Alterations

The Home Improvement and Structural Alterations (HISA) is a one-time grant that is intended to provide for medically necessary improvements and/or structural changes to your residence for the following purposes: 1. Allowing entrance to or exit from your residence 2. Use of lavatory and sanitary facilities 3. Allowing accessibility to kitchen or bathroom sinks or counters 4. Improving entrance paths or driveways in immediate area of the home to facilitate access to the home

by the veteran Improvements can include, but are not limited to:

Door latches- Door latch handles must be easy to operate and grasp. Entrances- Minimum width of all doors should be 3 feet (36 inches). Renovation work where 3 feet

openings are impossible, opening of 2 feet, 8 inches (32 inches) are acceptable. A maneuvering area with a minimum length of 4 feet 6 inches (54 inches) should be provided on each side of all doors.

Electrical outlets and wall switches- Wall mounted outlets should be located at a maximum height of 4 feet (48 inches) and a minimum height of 1 foot 6 inches (18 inches).

Handrails- The primary functions of hand rails are to act as a safety barrier to protect the user from a fall, to aid with balance, or to allow a wheelchair user a means for propulsion. The railing can be of wood or metal that is a minimum 1.5 inches in diameter with a 1.5 - 2 inch clearance from the wall. The railing needs to be smooth, continuous, and uninterrupted in the vertical or horizontal plane. If used with a ramp, handrails must be provided on both sides.

Windows- Windows must have a maximum sill height of 2 feet, 9 inches (33 inches). Window controls must be accessible and easy to operate. Controls for windows are to be located at a maximum height of 3 feet, 6 inches (42 inches). Controls for curtains and blinds need to be similarly accessible. NOTE: Window tint or shades can be provided if prescribed and sufficient medical justification substantiates the need to block harmful sunrays from entering the primary living quarters.

Central Air- Central air systems may be provided, when prescribed to an eligible veteran suffering from a spinal cord injury, neurological conditions, and severe respiratory or coronary disease, which are substantially worsened by exposure to heat and humidity, and where the absence of a controlled environment subjects the veteran to health-threatening circumstances. NOTE: Room air conditioners are provided, if necessary, and are charged as a prosthetic item. If the need for a central air conditioning system exists, the medical justification must be sufficient to substantiate cooling an area beyond the primary living quarters

Flooring- New or improved flooring can be provided for veterans when it is necessary for the veteran to navigate the interior of the home in order to access essential sanitary and lavatory facilities, e.g., if a veteran has a manual wheelchair and his home has carpeting that doesn’t allow for optimum operation of the wheelchair, the HISA Grant may be used to remove the carpeting and replace it with vinyl or wood flooring or thinner carpet.

Roughly 200,000 people in the United States – including more than 40,000 veterans – live with spinal cord injury, a new such injury occurring every 48 minutes. While there currently is no cure for spinal cord injury, promising new research could provide hope to some with low-level injuries. Recognizing that research as well as pushing for new therapies and resources is the goal of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, which runs each year in September in an effort to improve quality of life for the millions worldwide living with paralysis. The U.S. Senate in 2011 designated September for the month-long awareness effort, a result of a resolution sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla. Currently, there are roughly 40,000 veterans who use the Department of Veterans Affairs health system for spinal cord injury care, with the most common injuries resulting from fall and diving accidents from the Vietnam War. Spinal cord injuries are less common among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, in large part because of new research, technologies and preventative measures. Paralyzed Veterans of America since its inception has supported spinal cord research as well as educational initiatives to improve the lives of individuals with spinal cord injury – more than $100 million into research that promises new therapies, treatments and potential cures for paralysis. One such research investment is the Yale University Center for Neuroscience and Regeneration Research, which was established in 1988 in part due to funds from Paralyzed Veterans of America. That partnership – which in 2013 celebrated its 25-year anniversary – has led to some promising research, said Lana McKenzie, associate executive director of medical services at Paralyzed Veterans of America. “There was a study done by the Yale Center that shed some light for people with low-level injuries that one day they could walk again,” McKenzie said. “We’re hoping that the study can go on to the next phase.” There’s also increased focus on improving outcomes for individuals with higher-level injuries like quadriplegia, with several manufacturers focused on developing new devices to assist that community, McKenzie said. “We’re excited to hear from the mainstream of developers that have an interest in finding ways to better life for people with spinal cord injuries,” she said. Paralyzed Veterans also hosts an annual Summit that provides continuing education and promotes best practices among clinicians who treat spinal cord injury patients. This year’s Summit took place Aug. 26-28, in Las Vegas. Paralyzed Veterans also continues to advocate for better long-term care for veterans with spinal cord injury within the VA system as well as outreach to veterans with spinal cord injury who may not be taking advantage of the high quality of care within the VA health system. Veterans should contact Paralyzed Veterans of America’s Helpline at 1-800-232-1782 or Benefits Department for more information on how to access these benefits. “The VA has been acknowledged as the best system of care for spinal cord injury patients not only in this country but in the world,” McKenzie said. “We need to reach out to veterans in the rural health area who may not have taken the opportunity to get their assessment or care in the VA health system and encourage them to do so.”

Phoenix International Raceway hosts “$1, $3, $5…Let Freedom Drive” Donation Campaign Benefitting Paralyzed Veterans

Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber announced today that Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) has joined the track’s family of partners. This Veterans Day, individuals purchasing tickets online or by phone will have the option to support severely disabled veterans and their families through the “$1, $3, or $5…Let Freedom Drive” donation campaign in honor of Veterans Day, November 11. Fans purchasing tickets to the upcoming Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event weekend, November 6-9, can make a donation to Paralyzed Veterans of America through an optional ticket add-on. The donation option is available for tickets purchased online at PhoenixRaceway.com or over the phone at 866-408-RACE (7223). Fans who have already purchased tickets, but would like to donate may also do so by contacting PIR through the same channels. “We are proud to partner with the Paralyzed Veterans of America and assist them in their efforts to support disabled military veterans during the Quicken Loans Race For Heroes 500 race weekend,” said PIR President Bryan R. Sperber. “Race fans are among the most patriotic in all of sports, and we are honored to play a role in helping the men and women who served in uniform on Veterans Day Weekend.” Paralyzed Veterans is a congressionally chartered veterans service organization that has developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of our members – veterans of the armed forces who have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction. They are a leading advocate for quality health care for all members as well as research and education on spinal cord injury and dysfunction. “We’re very excited about the partnership announcement today with Phoenix International Raceway, and we’re thankful for their willingness to support our fundraising efforts,” said Paralyzed Veterans’ National President, Al Kovach Jr. “Veterans Day can sometimes become another day off for Americans, but for Paralyzed Veterans of America and the many veterans we serve, it’s a very important day of remembrance and thanksgiving. This campaign will help bring light to veterans issues during the patriotic holiday weekend, and support our ongoing efforts to serve those who have sacrificed for our country’s freedom.

Statement Regarding Smithsonian Desire to Collect Adaptive Mobility History Smithsonian National Museum of American History Kenneth E. Behring Center

News The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is committed to documenting the experiences of disabled Americans. One aspect of this story is how vehicles and adaptive technology have empowered individuals with disabilities through freedom and mobility. Transportation has played a major role in redefining the identity of disabled Americans, the social construction of disability, and public perceptions. A century ago, many persons with disabilities were confined to their homes or institutions. Adaptive transportation has enabled access to public spaces, employment, recreation and the thrill of the open road. Mark Mullen, a project assistant in the museum’s Road Transportation department, spent the last year researching this topic. On July 23, 2013, Mullen presented his preliminary research findings at a museum colloquium and is now working on a collecting initiative. Documenting this story through research materials, oral histories, periodicals, photographs, video, and objects will inform museum staff along with current and future researchers. Small objects, examples of adaptive technology, hand cycles, and vehicles are key components that will help tell this national narrative. The Smithsonian plans to share this story with the public through web essays, blog postings, and social media. Objects will be preserved in collections for future museum purposes. Disabled veterans have and continue to play a central role in the disability rights and independent living movements. Their efforts to re-enter society after serving the country drove technological advancements and facilitated legislation that blazed the trail towards a more accepting and inclusive society. Paralyzed Veterans of America has been a leading advocacy and activist organization in this movement. Its publications, Paraplegia News along with Sports and Spokes, have documented the story of adaptive transportation from early innovations during the polio epidemic through today’s high technology. Help from the organization, its membership, and affiliates can advance the Smithsonian’s endeavor to narrate the experience of wounded warriors and their empowerment through adaptive transportation. Smithsonian curators use a variety of criteria to select objects for acquisition. Completeness of the collection, storage constraints, historical significance, educational uses, and provenance are used to determine how desirable an object is for the collection. To discuss objects and stories for possible collection, individuals should contact Mark Mullen, project assistant in the Division of Work and Industry, by email at mullenm@si.edu or phone at (901) 490-3881 during normal business hours. Roger White, associate curator of Road Transportation, is an additional contact. He can be reached at whiter@si.edu or (202) 633-3925. Through incomparable collections, rigorous research and innovative public outreach, The National Museum of American History explores the infinite complexity of America and the American experience. The museum helps people make sense of the past, understand the present, and shape a more humane future. The online exhibit Everybody: An Artifact History of Disability in America is one example of how the Smithsonian uses objects to tell the story of Disabled Americans. It can be found by visiting www.everybody.si.edu. The museum is currently renovating its west exhibition wing developing galleries on business, democracy, and culture.
