Congratulations to Community Support & Outreach employee Kenneth Prusiensky for receiving the Lifesaver Award for helping a senior adult who was choking.
On Wednesday, Sept. 27, Kenneth was filling in for a site manager at the Indian Trail senior meal site. He noticed a client was choking, and he rushed over to perform abdominal thrusts. He was able to successfully dislodge the food particle and clear the upper airway, allowing the client to breathe again.

Don’t Delay: Why You Should Install Software Updates As Soon As Possible
Have you ever ignored available software updates on your phone or computer? Do you consistently postpone updates? If so, you may be putting your device and your data at risk. Software updates are not just annoying reminders that interrupt your work or personal life; they are essential for keeping your device secure and functioning properly. Software updates often include security patches that fix vulnerabilities or bugs that hackers can exploit to access your device or steal your information. Updating your software can help prevent cyberattacks and protect your privacy.
Software updates can also improve your device’s performance and functionality. They can fix errors, add new features, enhance compatibility, and optimize speed. Updating your software allows you to enjoy a better user experience and avoid potential problems.
The next time you see a notification to update your software, don’t ignore it or delay it. Install the update as soon as possible or enable automatic updates to keep your device up-to-date and cyber-safe.
