Today in history Today is Tuesday, June 25, the 176th day of 2013. There are 189 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 25, 1973, former White House Counsel John W. Dean began testifying before the Senate Watergate Committee, implicating top administration officials, including President Richard Nixon as well as himself, in the Watergate scandal and cover-up. On this date: In 1788, Virginia ratified the U.S. Constitution. In 1876, Lt. Col. Colonel George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were wiped out by Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana. In 1910, President William Howard Taft signed the White-Slave Traffic Act, more popularly known as the Mann Act, which made it illegal to transport women across state lines for “immoral” purposes. In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 was enacted. In 1943, Congress passed, over President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s veto, the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike Act, which allowed the federal government to seize and operate privately owned war plants facing labor strikes. In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Engel v. Vitale, ruled 6-1 that recitation of a statesponsored prayer in New York State public schools was unconstitutional. In 1988, Americanborn Mildred Gillars, known as “Axis Sally” for her Nazi propaganda broadcasts during World War II, died in Columbus, Ohio, at age 87. (Gillars had served 12 years in prison for treason.) In 1993, Kim Campbell was sworn in as Canada’s 19th prime minister, the first woman to hold the post. In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a line-item veto law as unconstitutional, and ruled that HIV-infected people are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2009, death claimed Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop,” in Los Angeles and actress Farrah Fawcett in Santa Monica, Calif.

Things to do today
TRICE CONTINUED FROM 1A
rate and looked towards what was the best outcome for her patients…. she is a very compassionate, and dedicated person,” Tays said. Trice’s background and arrival to MRHC was through a diverse path which began in nursing. “My ultimate desire is people — I love helping people…,” Trice said, including that her transition from nursing to social work was to fill a needed position with a family business where she was the facility nurse. “We had no one in the social work field there, so I went to school while I worked to get my degree,” Trice said. It was during the work towards the degree where Trice first made contact with Magnolia, via an internship and the experience soon moved towards a job offer once she finished with school. “I felt so honored, they didn’t know much about me but they took a chance,” Trice said. Three years removed from her day on the job, Trice completed a Master’s degree in public health the same month as her Employee of the Year distinction. In December she made a transition from the hospital into the Home Health and Hospice division, taking the position as a ‘growing opportunity’.
Despite a new role inside the MRHC network, Trice’s job remains the same. “Your first priority is always to advocate for the patients and their families,” Trice said “Beyond the medical care they are receiving, you are looking out for other things. Do they need financial assistance for their medicine, do they have health insurance or any family issues? I can serve as a resource for patients and their families.” Going into homes and having personal contact with families allows for a more personal relationship, an aspect of the job that Trice finds rewarding. But it isn’t always easy, Trice said. “To do this job, I really do have to have a greater understanding of who I am and what my role is both as a social worker and as a person….. sometimes its not just an easily given solution. No patient experience is the same and I celebrate that because I can make a positive change,” Trice said. Trice’s positivity and motivation to help is also secured in a deeper power, one which is rooted firmly in her active church life and faith in God. “I think her faith has 100% influence the way she approaches her job and how she makes contact with patients on a daily basis, especially with a positive influence
over patients and their families,” Tays said. Faith also provides a little more focus for her job, Trice said. “It keeps me grounded because with some of the things you see and the things you come in contact with -- it can really effect you and so you have to be able to remain objective and go beyond what you see and pull something positive,” Trice said. Every day she tells herself that she is up for the challenge, and the fact every day brings something difference is one of the favorite portions of the job. “I look back every day and make sure that I’ve been the best I could be, that I’ve been kind to people, have treated people the way I want to be treated, and that something was accomplished,” Trice said. And, above all, Trice hopes she makes a difference in a positive and encouraging way. “If I can make someone else smile, if its a patient or a co-worker, then I’ve done something good. And I’m always looking for good in something,” Trice said. Outside of her work, Trice enjoys reading, spending time with her grandchildren and keeping an active church life that includes teaching adult Sunday School. “At the end of it all, I just keep some joy in my life and try to spread it around. I’m very lucky,” Trice said.
