Jacksonville, FL – A fundraiser to help the St. Gerard Campus in St. Augustine, FL and unwed mothers in northeast Florida will be held on Saturday, March 6 at 8 pm with a theater production of “Miracle in Rwanda – A Story of Courage, Faith and Forgiveness”. The event will be held at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, Terry Theater, 300 West Water Street in downtown Jacksonville, FL. Ticket prices are $75 per person; $35 for students. For ticket information, contact Terry Theater box office at 904.633.6110 or purchase online at Ticketmaster. For more information, contact Judy Klein at 904.219.2484.

“Miracle in Rwanda” is a one woman show and features Leslie Lewis Sword who brilliantly transforms herself into a host of characters to tell the powerful story of Rwandan genocide survivor Immaculée Ilibagiza, a real life messenger of hope.

Sword is a performer and writer who traveled to Rwanda with Immaculée to develop the unique piece of theater. The return of Immaculée to Rwanda was the subject of a “60 Minutes” television feature, bringing international attention to the story.

According to Sword, Immaculée’s family was brutally murdered during the three-month slaughter that began in April 1994. However, Immaculée managed to survive. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently and cramped together in an undiscovered extra bathroom in a local pastor’s home. Immaculée’s terror escalated as hundreds of machete-wielding killers searched the house repeatedly for her without success, determined to find and butcher her. Ultimately, Immaculée moves beyond intense fear and rage, to find a deeper connection to God than she ever thought possible.

The story is crafted by Sword and the play’s co-creator Edward Vilga. The show features an uplifting message of forgiveness and compassion and chronicles the dramatic events through the interior life of Immaculée. The message is one of personal empowerment, of overcoming all obstacles through the power of faith, and ultimately finding peace of mind amidst unbelievable hardship and her ability to forgive.

The production premiered at TheatreZone in Naples, Florida along with a triumphant New York City run which inspired a world tour on five continents.

According to Marguerite Mumford, Paul Davis Restoration of North Florida owner, as part of St. Gerard’s ongoing fundraising campaign, the Paul Davis Restoration office in Jacksonville will donate $5,000 to underwrite the show production and to support St. Gerard Campus.

St. Gerard Campus, founded in 1981, is located at 1405 U.S. 1 South in St. Augustine, Fl. and provides an on-location high school, on-site day care, and a dormitory program for young, unwed pregnant women and mothers. The non-profit focuses on a three-step process of individualized, professional services for clients who qualify for the program. St. Gerard also provides free pregnancy testing, along with food and clothing for those in need. A 24-hour hot line, plus professional counseling is available for those who need spiritual, medical, or emotional advice. For more information, visit the website at www.stgerardcampus.org or call toll free 800.833.6073.

“We applaud those who support St. Gerard Campus and will continue to raise much needed funds for the teen moms have put forth the effort while they strive to turn their lives around. Upon graduation from the accredited on-campus high school, many of these young women will continue their education at local academic institutions,” said Mumford.

Vancouver, WA – Justin Graham, Paul Davis Restoration of Portland and Vancouver owner, announced today that he and company employees Adley Michalek, Randy Kalmik, Dylan Simpkins and Justin Graham have completed industry training and certification as EPA Certified Renovators. According to Graham, the certifications were received on February 1 at Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling offices in San Jose, CA.

“As a local Paul Davis office, our company can now be credited with having full time, certified technicians who are accredited by EPA to provide training for renovators and technicians under the program,” said Graham.

Lee, Mass. – Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling, a national franchise company and leading provider of fire and water damage clean up and restoration services for residential and commercial properties, provides consumers with safety tips when using electric space heaters in cold weather months. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), electric space heaters are associated with more than 2,400 fires each year that result in deaths, injuries and millions of dollars in property loss.

According to David Lessard, Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling office owner, many people get a false sense of security when using electric space heaters because the heaters don’t have an open flame. However, the heating elements of some types of electric heaters are hot enough to ignite many common household materials like draperies, paper, clothing, and furniture. “Those who use electric space heaters need to take special care when determining where to place them,” said Lessard. “Consumers should refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to see how far the heater should be placed from combustible materials, and how the heater should be placed on the floor so that carpeting or flooring materials don’t ignite,” he said.

Additionally, to prevent electrocutions, Lessard recommends keeping portable electric heaters away from water and never using them in a bathroom or near a sink. “If you must use an appliance near water, always use a ground fault circuit interrupter,” said Lessard.
 
Paul Davis Restoration offices across the United States in concert with safety and fire industry professionals will help to spread the word in their communities about the use of electric space heaters which is one of the leading causes of home fires and personal injury during cold weather months.
For more information, go to www.cpsc.gov.

Paul Davis Restoration recommends the following when selecting an electric heater.

• Look for a heater that has been tested by a nationally-recognized testing laboratory and meets federal safety standard requirements.
• Purchase a heater with a safety guard or wire grill around the heating element. The safety guard should be constructed to prevent a child’s fingers or combustible materials from touching the hot element.
 
Lessard also recommends the following safety tips for additional uses of space heaters:

• Before using the heater, read and follow the instructions for its operation and maintenance.
• If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is the correct cord for the model of heater you are using. An incorrectly-sized cord may create a fire hazard.
• Never run the heater’s cord (or any cord) under rugs or carpeting.
• Do not leave the heater operating unattended or operating while sleeping. Portable electric air heaters are designed for use only as temporary supplemental heating and only while attended.
• Do not use an electric heater as a dryer by placing clothing over it and never use it heater to thaw pipes.
• Keep the heater in safe working condition. Replace missing guards and controls at once. Never operate a defective heater.
• Don’t place the heater where children might play near it or where people might trip over or bump into it.
• Place the heater on a level surface for stability.
• Regardless of the type of heating system you have, install and maintain at least one smoke detector that is in good working condition on each floor of your home.

In the unlikely event that your home experiences a fire from using a space heater, it is important that you act quickly to prevent further loss and damage. The potential for further damage doesn’t stop after the fire is out.
 
“If you experience a fire from space heater accidents, it is crucial to begin emergency services procedures immediately. Delaying the start of this work can drastically increase the cost and complexity of the loss to your home,” said Lessard. “Also, contact a professional in the restoration and emergency mitigation service industry about losses in the home. Look for properly licensed individuals and companies with certifications from leading industry organizations like The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).”

Traverse City, MI – Scott Thomas, President of Paul Davis Restoration of Northwest Michigan, a provider of fire and water damage clean up and restoration services for residential and commercial properties, announced today that his staff is now accredited with the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) as providers and structural renovators and restoration technicians for renovations, repairs and painting specific to lead based paint. According to Thomas, employees who are now certified include Scott Powers, estimator; Brett Bonjernoor, project manager, and Mark Rose, Emergency Services Division Manager.

“We are proud of our employees who attend the local Home Builders Association course, Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting. The program covered lead-safe work practices for remodeling, renovation, repair, painting and general rehabilitation,” said Thomas. “Scott, Brett and Mark learned the basics including what lead based paint is, where it’s found and how it affects our health. They also learned about lead based paint regulations and how to train workers for lead-safe work practices, to name a few,” he said. 

According to the EPA, students who successfully complete the course are certified renovators and are able to work on projects using lead safe practices in accordance with the government’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP).
