Monday
Staff and residents (and pets) could be photographed at many
beautifully-themed displays in The Villas.
Daughter Plants More than a Tree with Living Tribute to Mother
Memorial and honorary gifts of trees and benches improve residents’ life experiences
Many take for granted the simple ability to sit outdoors
and enjoy the scent of newly blooming flowers or fresh cut
grass; or to feel the sunshine on your face and the gentle
breeze in your hair. For the residents at St. Paul’s and their
families and friends who visit, this experience is made
more pleasurable through the generosity of donors whose
gifts provide beauty, shade or a convenient place to sit.
Rust, who lives in Florida, chose to have a Dogwood and a
Cleveland Pear tree planted near the putting green behind
The Villas. It was an area that her mother’s window overlooked.
When Kathleen Rust’s mother, Betty Miller, passed away on
Nov. 28, 2012, her co-workers generously made a gift in her
name to St. Paul’s.
“When I was given the suggestion to plant trees, I thought
it was a great idea,” Rust said, adding that when they would
visit, her mother enjoyed going into the courtyard garden
and all around that area. “It seemed like a good spot. My
mother enjoyed being outdoors and would very much
enjoy the trees and the shade they will eventually provide.”
“I have to say that I am so grateful for the care that my
mother received from everyone at St. Paul’s,” said Rust.
“Everyone is loving and caring to all the residents. I am
also grateful for all the help I received regarding how
to best honor my mother.”
With the simple act of planting a tree, a loved one is
remembered while others simultaneously benefit from
the shade and beauty they provide … for a very long
time to come.
Betty Miller, center, is pictured with her daughter, Kathy Rust,
left, and granddaughter, Amanda Rust-Rainey, enjoying a
beautiful day outside.
To find out more about making an honorary or
memorial gift of a tree, shrub or bench, please contact
Director of Development Diane O’Brien at 724-5889613, Ext. 1237 or email [email protected].
Kathy Herman, a long-time St. Paul’s
employee, remembers Betty fondly,
and thinks she would appreciate the
trees planted for her. “My mother
(Emma Collins) and Betty were friends
from when they were younger. They
both worked at Schuster’s,” Herman
said. “Betty was sweet and loving.
She and my mom would sit and hold
hands.” Herman recently enjoyed a
beautiful spring day outside with
resident Dottie Jennings near one of
the trees planted in Betty’s honor.

and AUXILIARY
St. Paul’s Auxiliary gathers for annual meeting
Group presents first $10,000 check to begin new project
Through its efforts to raise funds during the year, St. Paul’s Auxiliary has
pledged $30,000 to enhance outdoor spaces at The Villas so that residents can better enjoy the outdoors.
The Auxiliary will pay for these enhancements in $10,000 increments over the
next three years. The first check was presented to Executive Director G. Bryan Oros
during the May 3 Auxiliary meeting in Headland Friendship Commons at The Villas.
“This project is going to be a real benefit to all of our residents,” Oros said. “There
are a lot of things we couldn’t do for our residents without what our Auxiliary does
for us. Thank you.”
The Auxiliary just completed another $30,000 pledge that provided spa tubs in
The Heritage and The Ridgewood.

The May 3 meeting opened with devotions by Director of Spiritual Services Bill Kautz, left, and President Lois EastKirker, after which Oros addressed the group with a program about changes in lick, right, present a check for $10,000

Oros during the annual Auxiliary
how they must approach the rising costs and changes in costs in the future.
meeting on May 3. The money is part
“The one truth is that health care in the United States is the most expensive in one of a three-year pledge to enhance
the world,” he said. “Continued changes in health care are why we launched the outdoor spaces at The Villas.
Keeping the Promise Campaign here at St. Paul’s so that nobody will have to leave
because they run out of funds. We always want to be able to keep that promise so support for that campaign is ongoing, greatly
needed – and deeply appreciated.”
He concluded, “It is a challenging business but it is important business and we will find a way to make it work.”
A member from St. Paul’s UCC Church in Meadville presented a donation from her church to Auxiliary President Lois
Eastlick and expressed her appreciation for the work of St. Paul’s in Greenville.
“I read about all the activities here and we feel the love here when we come to visit,” she said. “We feel it is very important
to support what goes on at St. Paul’s.”
Lois asked all church representatives present to be sure to report any address changes for their church or members. She
asked that St. Paul’s be included in their budget plans, as it helps the Auxiliary help St. Paul’s.
Officers for the coming year were installed. All officers are continuing on for another year. They are President Lois Eastlick, First Vice President Adele Lehosky, Second Vice President Karen Crawford, Recording Secretary Nancy Morgart, Corresponding Secretary Joan Walschmidt, and Treasurer Bonnie Kautz.

A Message from Pastor Bill
I can make a difference...
Have you ever thought something similar to, “Can I really make a difference in the Kingdom of God?”
Sometimes we rationalize that since I am “just an individual” and it takes someone with a special title or function,
someone working full-time in ministry, to impact lives for Christ. Possibly someone we refer to as a “professional” in
ministry. But sometimes things happen because of those not considered as the most likely to impact others.
June is the month that we celebrate Flag Day. So we might assume that this day honoring Old Glory was created by
a President or possibly someone in Congress or a high-ranking military veteran. In other words, probably someone
of high rank in the government.
Interestingly, Flag Day is believed to have originated in 1885 when BJ Cigrand, a Fredonia, WI, schoolteacher arranged for his pupils to celebrate June 14 as “Flag Birthday” in recognition of the 108th anniversary of the adoption of
the Stars and Stripes. In the years that followed Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate for Flag Birthday or
Flag Day in numerous magazine and newspaper articles and in public addresses.
In 1889, a New York City kindergarten teacher planned appropriate ceremonies for his students. And soon places
like the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia and groups like New York Society of the Sons of the Revolution celebrated
the day. By 1894 the governor of New York directed that the flag be displayed on all public buildings on June 14.
But it wasn’t until May 30, 1916, that President Woodrow Wilson officially established Flag Day by proclamation.
While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until August
3, 1949, that President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag
Day.
So, would this day of honoring the flag ever have come about if it was not for some schoolteachers? Who knows?
In the same manner, might someone you are able to share the love of God with not experience that, or not for a
long time, if we wait for the pastor or chaplain or others we consider as the ones best able to share the Good News
with the person? How might the Lord be calling you to “fly a flag” over our heart signifying that the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords resides there and that you are humbly prepared to share the Good News with whomever God
brings across your path today? Yes, we all can make a difference for the Kingdom of God!!

Cleaning out the medicine cabinet
It’s good news when your loved one can switch to a
lower dose of a drug or quit a medication altogether. But
what should you do with the unwanted pills, patches, or
inhalers? Children and pets need to be protected from potentially fatal exposure. Yet chucking everything into the
toilet is not recommended.
SAVE THE DATE!

Read the label for instructions. Some drugs bear special
instructions for disposal. For instance, the label may state
if the drug is approved for flushing down the toilet. Sometimes the danger of the drug, such as an opioid, makes this
the preferred method. But unless the label says it’s okay,
do NOT flush!

Ask your local pharmacist. Some pharmacies provide a
drug-disposal service. Or, your pharmacist may direct you
to a community drug-take-back program.
Check with your local trash hauler. Trash haulers are up
to date on local laws and regulations concerning medication disposal. For instance, inhalers, because of their
propellants, can be dangerous if punctured or thrown in
a fire. Your trash hauler can likely advise you of nearby
take-back programs.
Advance Directives
for Health Care
Follow these steps to safely dispose of meds at home.
• Dirty the drugs. Take the medication out of its original container. Mix it with an unappealing substance,
such as coffee grounds or kitty litter. In other
words, disguise the drug’s appearance and make
it unattractive to children or pets. Do NOT crush
tablets or capsules.

• Seal the drugs. Put the mixed preparation in a lidded container or sealable bag and put the container
in the garbage.
• Change the label. Disfigure the label on the empty
bottle so that personal information is no longer
readable.
All are welcome!
Use these guidelines for disposal of over-the-counter
drugs, too!

Earth Week 2014
Congratulations to Mary Ann Palmer, left, a 10year employee at St. Paul’s, who won this amazing
basket of fresh vegetables and other food items
from two Community Supported Agriculture
systems. She won the prize by guessing the closest
number of recycled batteries in a bin that made
its way around campus during Earth Week (the
correct number was 157 and she guessed 155).
The contest was sponsored during Earth Week by
The St. Paul’s Green Committee which strives to
increase environmental awareness and encourage recycling efforts at St. Paul’s. Colony
resident Nancy Marts, right, is a member of the committee and arranged for the prize
through the CSAs, which are Nu-Way Farm in Fredonia and Spring Harvest Farm in Cochranton. Thank you to everyone who assisted in the project, to the CSAs for the great
prize and to everyone for playing!
In this photo, Villas resident Irene Majcher and
Villas Life Enrichment Specialist Stephanie Russo were the winners of Earth Day Jeopardy and

to be planted here on campus. The game was organized by Colony Life Enrichment Specialist
Mariah Corson and played by resident and staff
teams from The Colony, The Heritage, The Ridgewood, and The Villas.
