News and notes from County Supervisor Dianne Jacob Help on the home front: My colleagues on the Board of Supervisors recently joined me in stepping up the development of more affordable housing. We agreed to award more than $13 million to six projects that will result in over 450 new homes for low-income seniors, veterans and others. The project list includes Villa de Vida, a 54-unit housing complex planned in Poway for those with developmental disabilities.

McNelis, elected for a 3rd tern, has been involved with helping to ensure the City of Santee continues on its course to greatness by being a part of the Santee Charter City Advisory Committee and Santee’s COMPOC Committee. He is very pleased to follow in the footsteps of some great previous Santee leaders by having served as the 2009 President of the Santee Chamber of Commerce.
Dianne’s Corner
Many low-income veterans, seniors and families struggle to keep a roof over their heads. These awards are the latest step in our efforts to address this crisis. Stop sex trafficking: State lawmakers recently gave local law enforcement and others additional tools to combat human trafficking. A new state law requires the lodging industry to train employees on how to identify and interact with victims of sex exploitation, while another gives the District Attorney’s Office the ability to seek increased monetary judgements for victims in civil cases. Sex trafficking, often involving young women and girls, remains rampant in our region. I will continue to do all I can to fight it.

Dee has been active with the Kiwanis Club, Stoney’s Kids, Multiple Sclerosis Society and many other groups. She has done all this while dealing with her own serious medical challenges.

ADVANCED HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY $ For LessThan 200
“I was amazed! Sounds I hadn’t heard in years came back to me!” — Don W., Sherman, TX
How can a hearing aid that costs less than $200
be every bit as good as one sells for $2,250 or more? The answer: Although tremendous
strides have been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now...
MDHearingAid® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registered hearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade hearing aid offering sophistication and high performance, and works right out of the box with no timeconsuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone — even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know...why pay more?
Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia? A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent this by improving hearing!
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR
45-DAY RISK-FREE TRIAL!
Hearing is believing and we invite you to try this nearly invisible hearing aid with no annoying whistling or background noise for yourself. If you are not completely satisfied with your MDHearingAid, return it within 45 days for a FULL REFUND.
