    David R. Craig,

    Harford County Executive

    As most county employees are by now aware, we have a ne

    director in place in our Human Resources Department. La

    month I asked Janet Schaub to serve as the departments ne

    director, and I am very pleased that she accepted the position.

    Janet is someone who needs no introduction for many of yo

    She has served this county with distinction for 37 years, all

    which has been in Human Resources. She has performed t

    duties of every position within the department at some pointher career, and has been Deputy Director for the last 10 years.

    It is rare that there is someone available who is as well-prepared to step up and lead a

    agency as is Janet. I am pleased that she was unanimously approved as director by t

    County Council on November 12. I also thank Deborah Duvall for serving as director in

    acting capacity.

    HR, and the dedicated employees who work in it, serves a vital role in the administrati

    of government. County government is more than just buildings, roads, snow plows, a

    mowers. It is people the people who provide the services that our citizens expect, a

    who do so with dedication, respect, and integrity.

    The HR issues faced by all local governments are not unlike those faced by small a

    medium-sized businesses, and they will continue to require significant attention for yea

    to come as a result of future state mandates and federal changes to the American hea

    coverage system through the irreparably flawed system of Obamacare.

    I feel that compared to other counties in Maryland we have done an excellent job

    recent years of making our programs, benefits, and obligations sustainable for the lo

    term, and that fact should provide some peace of mind for county employees and coun

    taxpayers alike.

    Finally, as we close out 2013 and look ahead to 2014, I thank you all for another positi

    year of serving the citizens of Harford County. I wish you and your families a happy a

    healthy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas.

    Cordially,

    Change to Pharmacy Manager with CareFirstsubmitted by Beth Griffith

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support, congratulations,

    and well wishes during and after my confirmation as Director of Human Resources. The

    whole process was overwhelming at times but in a good way and very humbling.

    Our workforce is highly dedicated, hard working, top notch and in my opinion second to

    none. I am glad to have the opportunity to serve as Director of Human Resources and am

    proud to be in this role for such a great workforce.

    The Human Resources Staff would like to wish you and your families a safe and happy

    Vitamins that Help Reduce Stresssubmitted by Tamara Simmons

    Stress is defined as a nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it which results in symptoms such as

    rise in the blood pressure, release of hormones, quickness of breath, tightening of muscles, perspiration, and increased

    cardiac activity. Stress is not necessarily negative. Some stress keeps us motivated and alert, while too little stress can

    create problems. However, too much stress can trigger problems with mental and physical health, particularly over a

    prolonged period of time. So, it is very important to reduce stress.

    Avoiding dependence on stimulants such as alcohol, ensuring you eat a healthy diet and learning

    effective techniques to deal with stress are all important in managing stress.

    Vitamins for Stress

    Vitamin Ahelps to mop up toxins that deplete energy levels.

    Vitamin B1improves mood and is vital for nerve function.

    Vitamin B3regulates sleep patterns.

    Vitamin B6is essential for optimum production of the mood-enhancing brain chemical serotonin.

    Vitamin B12helps to produce feel-good brain chemicals.

    Pantothenic acidcontrols the action of the adrenal glands, which play a crucial part in the stress response.

    Cholineand Inositolhave a calming effect.

    Vitamin Cis used up quickly during stress reactions and a deficiency can worsen anxiety and irritability.

    Vitamin Eis a powerful antioxidant.

    Minerals for Stress

    Calciumhelps you to relax. Seleniumincreases the effectiveness of vitamin E.

    Chromiumstabilizes blood sugar levels. Zincincreases resistance to infection.

    Magnesiumreduces stress.

    More Nutrients to reduce Stress

    Omega-3 oils support the immune system. St John's Worthas a calming effect.

    Valerianhas long been used to relieve stress.

    Foods helpful in reducing stress

    Whole grains, oats, oily fish, lentils, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.

    Foods to avoid

    Fast-releasing carbohydrates found in sugar, white bread, white rice and refined cereals stimulate the release of the

    stress hormone cortisol. Stimulants such as coffee, alcohol and nicotine put a strain on body systems.
