CFH Director Steve Camilleri said that he didn’t plan to preach but wound up doing so, taking as his text the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
According to Steve, Gale told his friends at the CFH that his family was dead. After the report of Gale’s passing, Steve received a visitor, Gale’s brother Terry, 50.
Terry told Steve that he hadn’t seen Gale in seven years, that he would like to have seen him before his passing.
“There is a lot of disconnectedness here due to crime, drugs or whatever,” said Steve. “Anyone who says his family is dead shows disconnectedness. We have to forgive ourselves and try to reconnect.”
“If something has disconnected you, know there is hope that you can reconnect,” Steve concluded.

“Dr. Z” Recommends Flu Shots: Brandon Zabukovic, M.D. (Dr. Z) of the Memorial Clinic told guests and staff at the Monday night to “get a flu shot wherever you can get it.”
Dr. Z answered some common flu-related questions.
§The vaccine currently being used does not use a live virus; it will not give you the flu. The nasal spray does contain a live virus.
§Having the flu does not give you an immunity to it. Protection from the flu shot fades in five to six months which is why they are usually given before the start of the flu “season” in October.
§The true influenza “season” lasts from October-November through February-March.
§Flu has nothing to do with the common cold.
§Over-the-counter remedies can make you feel better and some can shorten the illness. There is no “magic bullet to help you once you’ve been exposed.
§People with auto-immune diseases should still get the vaccine.
