Summers Native Wins
International PriZe
Emma Chanlett-Avery (HHS ’92)
won recognition for her work in US-
Japan relations with the award of
the Kato Prize in Washington DC
on May 2. The Summers County
native has dedicated her career to
better understanding Japan and its
neighbors China, North Korea, and
South Korea.
Since 2003 she has worked at
the Congressional Research Service
(CRS) of the Library of Congress.
She consults with members of
Congress and their staffs and
travels frequently to the region. She
has written over thirty reports for-
Congress. Her latest concerns the
pros and cons of President Obama
visiting Hiroshima where World
War II ended so devastatingly for
the Japanese.
The Kato Prize each year
recognizes one American and
one Japanese from selection by a
committee coming from the Center
for Strategic and International
Studies, the Council on Foreign
Relations, the Brookings Institute,
the Stimson Center. and the Center
for a New American Security. It is
“named for Ryozo Kato, Japan’s
distinguished former ambassador
to the United States.
Ambassador Kato was fond
of quoting former Sec. of State
George Schultz who said relations
between countries are a lot like
“gardening” —they require skilled
and persistent practioners. In
accepting the award, Emma said
her parents would shocked that she
got a trophy for “gardening”.
Michael Moodie, assistant
director at CBS, said: “Emma’s
receipt of the Kato Prize is well-
deserved recognition from her
peers of her consistent intellectual
leadership in a challenging field
and a strong acknowledgement
of the high-quality analysis that
always characterizes her work for
Congress.”
Emma first went to Japan in 1991
under a summer exchange program
while still at Hinton High. After
graduating in 1992, she went to
Amherst College in Massachusetts
which upon her graduation
awarded her a oneyear fellowship
to its sister Doshisha University
in Kyoto, Japan. She obtained a
master’s degree in international
relations at Columbia University
in 2003. Her path at the Library of
Congress involved rotations at the
Korea desk of the State Department
and at the Department of Defense
in Bangkok, Thailand. She recently
became a member of the board of
trustees of Japan America Society
of Washington.
She lives in DC with her husband ‘
Peter Ogden who focuses on energy
policy and climate change issues at
the Center for American Progress
and the University of Chicago.
They spend the other half of their
time raising two girls, Cora (6) and
Sasha (3).
Summers Nursing & Rehabilitation.
Center Receives Accreditation for
Quality Care Measurements
Hinton, W.Va. The decision to
consider long-term care for a loved
one is often difficult, but Summers
Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
(N &RC) can help make that decision
easier as the skilled nursing and
rehabilitation center is a nationally
accredited facility in four standards
of quality care for the first quarter
of 2016.
Summers N&RC received
full accreditation through the
Providigm QAPI Accreditation
Program that is based on four
standards for excellence in
continuously improving the quality
of care and life for residents living
in skilled nursing and rehabilitation
facilities. ‘
Those four standards are
a comprehensive number of
assessments, continuous activities
throughout the year, coverage of
varying and unique patients, and
areas of correction that have been
identified and went through the
improvement process.
Providigm creates data
management systems that mirror
the new Quality Indicator Survey
process used by state surveyors for
their annual inspection of nursing
facilities.
The value of the system is far
beyond just preparing a skilled
nursing facility for the annual
health inspection survey, but builds
a foundation in quality assurance,
performance improvement,
customer satisfaction and state and
federal compliance.
Summers N&RC is a recipient
of the 2014 Silver Quality Award
from the American Health Care
Association/National Centers for
Assisted Living Quality Awards
Program.

Attorney General Morrisey Urges
Caution With Hail Storm Repairs
CHARLESTON Attorney
General Patrick Morrisey today
urged West Virginians forced to
deal with hail damage from recent
thunderstorms to be cautious when
hiring others to assist with repair
and cleanup.
State law provides added
protections for consumers coping
with storm-related roofing repairs
covered by insurance.
Contractors must allow the
consumer five days to cancel
their contract without penalty for
any repairs, or portions thereof,
not covered ‘by the consumer’s
\
insuranoe\policy.
The clock begins with the
consumer’s receipt of the insurance
notice.
The consumer must also notify
the contractor in writing of the
cancellation.
The written notice can be via
email, letter or return of the
company’s notice of cancellation
form.
“Hail and other types of severe
weather can do substantial damage
to peoples’ homes and property,”
Attorney General Morrisey said.
“Our office wants to protect affected
West Virginians from being ripped
off by someone posing to offer
help.”
Any consumer employing the
assistance of a contractor should do
the following:
¥ Evaluate the size and
scope of their project.
¥ Obtain price estimates
from multiple companies.
¥ Research companies that
do those jobs.
¥ Ask for references to verify
the contractor’s prior work.
¥ Look for reviews of the
company on trusted websites.
¥ Check to see if the
contractor has a valid license by
contracting the West Virginia
Contractor Licensing Board at 304-
558-7890.
If you have questions or believe
you have been the victim of a storm-
related home repair scam, contact
the Attorney General’s Consumer
Protection Division at 1-800-368-
8808 or visit our website at www.

that happen, these organizations

Virginia. As Margaret explains “We
are looking for positive, outside the
box thinkers, who are ready to take
on this challenge, once and for all!
Southern West Virginia is a
great place to live with wonderful
people who work hard. It’s time
we stopped believing what people
say about us and show them
what happens when like-minded
people make a commitment to
change.” This Will be the meeting
that people talk about years from
now and say “I WAS THERE”!
To drive this point home, the
featured speaker will be Rich
