BOWLING BENEFIT FOR ETHAN AREND
On March 5, 2004, Brian
and Teresa Arend anxiously
welcomed their newborn
son, Ethan, into this world.
It wasn’t the typical welcome
an infant receives, however.
Ethan was immediately swept
away to be given oxygen as
he struggled for each breath.
Within minutes of his birth,
he was rushed to the NICU
where a tube was inserted
through his nose to help him
breathe. A few days later he
was transported via ambulance to Ann Arbor where he
could be seen by a pediatric
airway specialist. At ten days
old, Ethan underwent surgery for a tracheostomy. The
diagnosis: bilateral vocal cord
paralysis.
Over the past two years,
Ethan has not ceased to
amaze his family and friends
with his development. Ethan
can make some vocalizations,
but relies on sign language as
his primary source of communication. He is filled with
love and laughter and has an
infectious smile that will tug
at your heart! His philosophy
seems to be that everyone
deserves to be blown kisses
and given hugs, whether old
friend or new.
As a result of his tracheostomy tube, Ethan’s trachea has
collapsed, further restricting
his airway. He is scheduled
for surgery in Cincinnati on
April 27 during which the
doctors will graft rib cartilage
into his trachea to reconstruct
the area of collapse and laser
part of his arytenoid cartilage
(which sits above the vocal
cords and is also restricting
airflow). Ethan’s trach tube
will be removed during the
surgery and he will have a
breathing tube inserted for at
least eight days following his
operation. During this time,
he will be on a ventilator and
heavily sedated to aid in the
healing process.
Once Ethan is off of the
ventilator, he will be moved
to the recovery floor where he
will undergo various swallow
studies to insure that food
and liquids are not entering
his lungs. He will also make
several trips back to the OR
so that his surgeon can assess
his healing and determine the
status of the graft. Ethan will
be in the hospital for 2 1/2 to
4 weeks and will be required
to stay near the hospital for
another week following his
release. Frequent visits to
Cincinnati will be required
until it is determined that
Ethan has a safe airway and
that scar tissue will not cause
additional blockage.
In spite of, or perhaps
as a result of, all that Ethan
has experienced in the past
two years, he blesses those
around him with his tender
heart and immense love for
life. The road has not, by any
means, been smooth. yet with
each prayer, we are one step
closer to helping Ethan find
his voice.
The Arend family would
like to thank all those who
have turned rocks into pebbles and built bridges over
streams along Life’s Road. We
extend a special thank you to
Ethan’s grandparents, Mike
and Pam Arend and Bob and
LeAnne Breckler. Friends and
family have provided a wealth
of love and support and God
certainly knows Ethan by

Bachelor’s Degree in accounting from the Ohio State University in 2002. Her exposure
to accounting began when
she was a student at Lincolnview High School in Van
Wert county. She served as
treasurer of various organizations in high school, which
introduced her to budgeting
and requisitioning for cash
flows. Her desire to become

out her senior year at Lincolnview as she independently

class in 1996.
Lindsay moved to Paulding County in 1998. She is
employed by Payne Equity

County Republican Women. She attends St. John the
Baptist Catholic Church in
Payne. She has volunteered
for the Paulding County Basketball Marathon for the past
eight years and served on the

number of Paulding County
residents with whom she enjoys working. She looks forward to the opportunity to
serve and work with all of the
residents of Paulding County.
If elected, she will move on
from her current position to
serve as the full-time county
auditor.

GOD’S WATCHMAN
By: Jerry Bush, The Living
Word Church
God said, “If my people,
which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek My face, and
turn form their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and
will heal their land.”
Our land needs healing
more today then ever before,
will you pray? “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee
from you. Draw nigh to God,
and He will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands ye sinners; and purify your hearts,
ye double minded. He afflicted, and mourn and weep:
let your laughter be turned
to mourning, and your joy
to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord
and He shall lift you up.”
Thou shalt make thy prayer
unto Him, and He shall hear
you, and you shall pay your
vows. You shall also decree a
thing, and it shall be established unto you: and the light
shall shine upon your ways.
When men are cast down,
then you shall say, there is
lifting up; and He shall save
the humble person. He shall
deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the
pureness of thine hands.
Then hear thou from
heaven, and forgive the sin
of thy servants, and of thy
people. Then hear you from
heaven thy dwelling place,
and forgive, and render unto
every man according unto
all his ways, whose heart you
know; (for thou only knowest
the hearts of the children of
men:).
PAULDING COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The Paulding County
Commissioners met in regular session on March 8 and
March 13, and a special session on March 9.
The special session on
March 9 was scheduled to allow all three Commissioners
to attend the preconstruction meeting for the new
jail. Attending were the architects, all the contractors
involved in building the new
jail, Dave Harrow, Paulding County Sheriff and the
Commissioners. The meeting
was held in the AEP building. The meeting established
standards for communicating among the many parties,
decision-making procedures
and record-keeping responsibilities. The contractors
indicated they were preparing their final plans for purchasing and fabricating the
many items that will go into
remodeling the building.
Baker-Schindler, the general
contractor, reported that his
company would begin with
removal of interior fi xtures
within a few weeks. The area
will be secured for safety but
people passing by on 127 will
be able to see construction
trailers and other equipment
at the site as the work begins.
Marty Harmon, Chairman of
the Board of Commissioners
noted, “We are just thrilled to
see this project at the point of
actually beginning construction.”
The Wednesday session
included a regular monthly
update by the Board of Elections, a discussion with Lisa
Karcher of the Maumee Valley Planning Organization
(MVPO) and a report from
Nancy Hessler of United Way
about the recent homeless
survey.
The Board of Elections
has reported that the Diebold
Company, manufacturer of
the new touch screen voting
machines, has proposed a
contract to service the software in the machines at a cost
of $50,000.00 every year. The
machines were purchased
with federal funds by the
State of Ohio for Paulding
County and many other Ohio
counties and a warranty on
the hardware was included.
The proposed maintenance
agreement has come as a
surprise to all Ohio counties
with the Diebold equipment.
The Election Board has written to the Diebold Company
to ask a number of clarifying
questions in an attempt to reduce or remove this unanticipated cost.
Lisa Karcher of MVPO
asked the Commissioners
to approve a request for proposals from area non-profit
groups to continue operating
the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP)
in Paulding County. The
CHIP activities help qualified county residents obtain
improvements, such as insulation, to their homes. The
Commissioners approved the
request for proposals.
Nancy Hessler presented
early numbers from the recently conducted survey of
homeless and at risk homeless individuals and families.
The survey was conducted
in several area counties but
Hessler shared only the draft
figures for Paulding County.
The purpose of the survey is
to determine the number of
homeless or at risk individuals and families to determine
eligibility for federal funding.
The final statistical report for
each county will be published
in newspapers at a later date.
Following the Wednesday
meetings the Commissioners
approved the adoption of the
Paulding County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
The plan creates a Mitigation
Planning Core Group that is
assigned the responsibility to
establish goals to minimize
and reduce storm water damages to existing structures
and land use in order to
maximize the protection of
public health, safety, and welfare, and identify and develop
revenue sources to complete
the goals and objectives of the
plan. Randy Shaffer, Director of the Paulding County
Emergency
Management
Agency (EMA) is responsible
for the program.
A final action on Wednesday, March 8, was to employ
Nola Ginter as the Clerk to
the Commissioners, replacing Lisa Bragg who is leaving
for other employment.
During the Monday,
March 13, 2006 meeting the
Commissioners dealt with
regular county business such
as approving expenses for the
county and responding to
correspondence. At the same
meeting Bob Iler, 911 Coordinator, asked for and received
approval to advertise for bids
for updated 911 equipment
for the new jail building. The
existing equipment is twelve
years old and Iler intends to
use 911 funding to finance the
replacement equipment.
The Paulding County
Commissioners meet in regular session on Mondays and
Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m.
to the close of business.

INVESTMENT INSIGHTS
AIG Advisor Group
By: Chris Johnson, FSC
Securities Corporation
I just inherited an annuity from a deceased relative.
What is an annuity? (Part 1)
FSC Securities
Local Service, Global Resources, Trusted Advise
An annuity is an insurance
contract issued by a life insurance company. Annuities are
some of the most complex
investments available today.
You are not alone in your
question – many people own
annuities and do not really
have any idea what they purchased.
In order to understand
what type of investment you
have there are 2 major things
you need to find out: 1) Is the
annuity you inherited “qualified” or “non-qualified,” and;
2) Is the annuity “fi xed, “equity indexed” or another type.
In this edition of Investment
Insights I will address the
first of these questions. The
second part will be addressed
in a subsequent article.
A “qualified” annuity
means that none of the money within it has ever been
taxed. Your relative may have
taken a tax deduction for his
investment. This would be the
case if he opened the annuity
as an Individual Retirement
Account (IRA) or perhaps as
a rollover from an employer
sponsored retirement plan
such as a 401(k). If the annuity is qualified, then the original invested principal as well
as any growth will be taxed
as ordinary income when you
withdraw money from it.
A “non-qualified” annuity would have been opened
with after-tax money. Only
the growth on a non-qualified
annuity is taxable. Let’s say
your relative invested $10,000
and it has grown to $15,000. If

“LORD OF THE RINGS”
STAR SEAN ASTIN TALKS
ABOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER
AND CALLS FOR EARLIER
SYMPTOM RECOGNITION
(NAPSA)—Actor Sean Astin,
best known for his role as Sam
Gamgee in the Oscar-winning
“Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, is
willing to share his personal experience living with a family member diagnosed with bipolar disorder in order to help increase
awareness of the symptoms associated with the condition. Astin witnessed the condition’s trademark
highs and lows throughout his
childhood when his mother,
actress Patty Duke, experienced
symptoms of undiagnosed bipolar
disorder for years before receiving
an accurate diagnosis and effective
treatment. Duke’s delayed diagnosis is not uncommon and mirrors
the results of a new survey of more
than 500 people with bipolar disorder, which shows an average delay
of 13 years between symptom
onset and diagnosis.
The survey, which was conducted online by Harris Interactive and
sponsored by AstraZeneca,
included 500 persons medically
diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
“Though my mom was the one
who struggled with the symptoms,
the impact of bipolar disorder was
felt by my whole family. Her depression was sad and painful to
watch, and we’d feel frightened
when her mood became manic,”
recalls Astin. “We wrongly attributed these extreme moods to the
force of her personality. Had she
have been unlikely to seek professional help for their condition had
others in their life not prompted
them to do so.
Mood swings (49 percent), getting into arguments (40 percent)
and reckless behavior (31 percent)
were the symptoms most often
recognized by loved ones. Overspending and substance abuse
were also symptoms loved ones
often recognized first. All these
behaviors are associated with
manic episodes.
In contrast, survey respondents
were most often able to recognize
depressive symptoms by themselves, reporting that thoughts of
death or suicide, hopelessness and
loneliness were the feelings they
most often noticed. In fact, 70 percent were initially misdiagnosed
solely with depression.
You can find more information
about Astin’s family’s story, the
symptoms of bipolar disorder and
what to do if you are concerned that
symptoms are impacting your fami-

ly at www.LearnAboutBipolar.com.
“I know that family members
can help close the time gap between
symptom onset and proper diagnosis,” says Astin. “For my family, it
was something like 11 or 12 years.
In the survey, it was 13 years. I
want to help close the gap between
symptom recognition and accurate
diagnosis. My mom is proof that the
road to recovery starts with listening, communicating with empathy
and recognizing symptoms.” Astin
wants families facing bipolar disorder to know that with the right
diagnosis and proper treatment,
there is hope.

the annuity is “qualified” and
you withdraw all the money
you will pay Federal and State
income tax on $15,000 – it
will be just like you earned
an additional $15,000 from
work. If, however, the annuity
is “non-qualified” you would
pay ordinary income tax only
on the $5,000 gain and NOT
on the original $10,000 invested principal.
With any annuity you
should be very careful with
the withdrawal choices offered
by the insurance company.
Many annuities carry surrender charges – the insurance
company keeps a percentage
of your contract value – if
money is withdrawn before a
specific period of time. Usually these surrender charges
are waived due to death, but
NOT ALWAYS.
You should also use caution in deciding over how long
a period of time to withdraw
the money. You will normally
have at least 3 withdrawal options: as a single lump sum; as
a series of withdrawals over
a period of years; or as a lifetime stream of income. It may
to useful to seek advise from
a Tax Professional and an Investment Advisor Representative before you finalize any
decisions.

Study Says Eating Fish Leads To Better Health
(NAPSA)—Eating more fish is
good for your health. That’s the
finding of research conducted by
the Harvard Center for Risk
Analysis (HCRA) at the Harvard
School of Public Health.
The study, “A Quantitative
Analysis of the Risks and Benefits
Associated with Changes in Fish
Consumption,” analyzed the
potential impact of consumer reactions to federal advisories that
warn about the effects of mercury
exposure from fish. Advisories
could be misinterpreted and keep
people from eating fish and
seafood.
On average, Americans consume less than half the weekly
intake of fish recommended by the
federal government, in part due to
fears of mercury exposure. However, the immense health benefits
of fish and seafood far outweigh
the minute risk of mercury contamination from commonly consumed fish.
“Fish are an excellent source of
omega-3 fatty acids, which may
protect against coronary heart disease and stroke, and are thought
to aid in the neurological development of unborn babies,” said
Joshua Cohen, lead author and
senior research associate at
HCRA. “If that information gets
lost in how the public perceives
this issue, then people may inappropriately curtail fish consumption and increase their risk for
adverse health outcomes.”
Since the body cannot manufacture omega-3 fatty acids, people rely on fish to provide this
essential compound.
Eating less fish was also linked
to a significant increase in the
risk of heart disease and stroke.
The study concluded that pregnant women, who are at far
greater risk for mercury exposure,
could increase the cognitive development benefits for their unborn
child by eating the recommended
I’m writing in response to

Rose Kever.
My mother’s name was

servings of fish per week and
choosing from a variety of fish and
seafood low in mercury. The benefit from fish consumption during pregnancy could amount to
an increase in IQ level for the
newborn.
“There is no debate within the
scientific community that the
fatty acids in fish are essential for
human health. Study after study
demonstrates that from birth to
old age, omega-3 fatty acids confer
important health benefits, from
optimal brain function and the
reduced risk of heart attack and
stroke to improved eye health,”
said Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc., R.D.,
author of “Omega-3 Fatty Acids
and Health.” “Fish is a healthful
food for people of all ages.”
Clear messages resulting from
studies such as this encourage
people to continue to enjoy fish
and seafood as part of a healthy
diet. For more information about

Food For All The Animals
(NAPSA)—The wolves in
Yellowstone National Park and the
pack’s primary food source, elk,
continue to support the park’s
scavenger community. Wolves are
so important to the survival of
scavengers that scientists continue
to wonder what the scavengers did
until the wolves were reintroduced
to the park a decade ago.
The Food for the Masses project is a broad-scaled effort designed to quantify the diversity
and abundance of species that rely
on wolf kills in the park. These
include the black bear and grizzly
bear, bald eagle, golden eagle,
raven, magpie, coyote and fox.
Scientists have learned that
wolves mediate the flow of food by
controlling the timing and quantity of the hunt. The pack contributes significantly to the biodiversity of the region.
Food for the Masses is funded
through the Yellowstone Park
Foundation (www.ypf.org) in cooperation with Canon U.S.A. The
Eyes on Yellowstone program is
made possible by Canon; it provides funding and digital technology to support an array of
park resource management and
education programs.
Summer scavenging is much
less understood than that of winter. New research is documenting

HOSPITAL STEPS UP FOR RELAY FOR LIFE
We will be having a Family Unity Night on Monday,
March 27 in the elementary
gym from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
This is a unique, exciting, professionally produced
program by Benny Max and
Spyke Jones that tours eight
states in the Midwest and
they are going to be with us
for this incredible evening.
The program is an easy
format of activities and you
don’t have to be athletic or
have any special skills (thank
goodness). The show will include fun music and a concert-style light show with
special effects.
They have mentioned that
we should avoid wearing
warm clothing that evening.
They have stated that it is a
scientific fact that 100 people
doing the Hokey Pokey can
raise the room temperature
10 degrees. We are hoping to
have a lot more people than
100 so it could be a warm evening.
Please note though that
this event is not appropriate
for infants and toddlers. The
activities are designed for the
parents to participate in the
activities with their elementary age children.
We are looking forward to
seeing all of you at this event
and to having a great evening.
Keep in mind also that we
will be having a Family Movie

fundraisers planned including:
—An Easter Bake Sale: It
will be held in the hospital’s
outpatient lobby on April 14,
Good Friday. PCH employee,
Diane Dasher, is chairing the
event. Anyone from the community is invited to stop by
and make a purchase. Hospital employees will be providing the bake goods and, if last
year’s sale was any indication,
this is a must-visit event!
—Raffle of the Relay-forLife Quilt: This work of handmade art is on display in the
hospital’s outpatient lobby.
“You can’t believe how beautiful the quilt is unless you
stop by and see it for yourself,” said quilter and activity chair, Darlene Herber.
“Chances will be sold until
June 17, the hospital’s annual
Family Health Day.”
—Easter Baskets and
Locker Stockers: The baskets
have been filled with Easterrelated goodies for younger
children such as candy, a
plastic cup, tattoo, and stamp.
The “locker stockers” are
school-specific spirit containers (eleven schools and a
PCH-themed box) filled with
a calculator, pencils, pad of
paper, and a small mirror.
Samples of both items are on
display at the hospital’s reception desk. Orders will be
taken until March 24 and the
items will be available for pick
up the week of April 3.
All proceeds of sales will
go to the American Cancer
Society.
Paulding County Hospital is also a major sponsor of
the Relay. As such, it is highlighted on the Relay for Life
banner. The banner, now on
display in the hospital outpatient lobby, will be available
for signatures and messages
of support from event participants during the Relay.
At the conclusion of the
Relay, the banner will make
its way to our nation’s capital
and become a part of the Wall
of Hope. On September 1920, 2006, in Washington, DC,
the signatures of millions of
Americans will be compiled
into one Wall of Hope on
the National Mall. There, the
Wall of Hope will be a focal
point of Celebration on the
Hill 2006 and will demonstrate the unity of the entire
country in support of cancer
survivors and their families.

Facts on Geothermal Energy:
Fascinating Facts about Geothermal Systems-
9 The ground absorbs 47% of the sun’s energy that reaches planet Earth. This amount
of energy represents 500 times more than
mankind needs every year.
9 Installing a geothermal system in a typical home is equal, in greenhouse gas reduction, to planting an acre of trees, or
taking two cars off the road.
9 Current geothermal installations save
more than 14 million barrels of crude oil
per year.
9 If one in 12 California homes installed a
geothermal system, the energy saved
would equal the output of nine new power plants.

OUR MIDWEST SLANG
By: Rose Kever
I can remember from
way back when I was a kid,
the speech and phonics of
our parents and grandparents. Most of us have carried
it over to our children and
grandchildren. Well, I have
anyway!
I have a few examples that
should jog your memory.
When it was time to do
the laundry (always on Monday, back then), Mom would
“warsh” the clothes. I still call
it “warsh” regardless of what
I’m doing—like, “warshing” the dishes, warshing
my hands, warshing my hair,
whatever I do, that pertains
to water, I’m going to “warsh”
it. My granddaughter has
picked up on my slang and
she “warshes” everything
that needs it. Her parents are
always trying to correct both
Kira and I by saying, “There’s
no ‘r’ in ‘wash’”. I know that,
but there is an ‘r’ on ‘warsh’.
There is also an ‘r’ in ‘torlet’,
which can also be: the throne,
the john, restroom, bathroom, or toilet.
Now, we come to “crick”.
A crick is a crick is a crick. My
dad would go to the “Mary De
Larme Crick.” Ever been “up
a crick without a paddle?”
Well, who hasn’t at one time
or another?
Grandma Douglas had
her own language, and it has
carried over to some of us.
Grandma didn’t “wash the
dishes”, she “warshed the
deeshes”. Sounds southern to
me! Any bowl, plate, platter, or
saucer was a “deesh”. Grandma did lots of funny things—
she would “slop the hogs”, she
planted “taters and onyuns”,
“Run up a dress on her treddle sewing machine,” and the
best thing that I remember
was when she, “Jarred up the
garden”, (canned the vegetables from her huge garden).
She also killed snakes on her
and grandpa’s farm with her
garden hoe. “That was great!”
She kind of gave a Judo yell as
she cut them in half with that
hoe. Brave woman!
Oh yeah, she also grew
“pinies”. We know them better as “peonies”.
My sister-in-law, Carol,
had her own language, too. I
just thought it was a “Woodburn” thing, but when she
married my brother and
moved to Antwerp, she
brought it with her. I think
it was because she talked so
much, her brain couldn’t keep
up with her mouth, or “viceyversey”. She could mess up
more words than anyone I
have ever known. I really
think her vocabulary is “dyslexic”. I think the best one
she came up with was “close
only counts in handshoes and
horsegrenades”. Lordy, I don’t
want to get hit by a horsegrenade no matter how close it
is!
I have tried to repair my
“broken” english—I know
that a “crick” is a “creek”—a
“tater” is a “potatoe”, and a
“torlet” is a “toilet”, but I will
probably always be “warshing” the dishes!

This has become a Christmas supper tradition for my
family. The excitement of
the day is over, presents are
all unwrapped and we now
take time to just enjoy family
time.
My parents and my sister
usually come over and we play
games and reminisce. This
past Christmas was very special to me because my mother
was recuperating from a very
serious illness and enjoyed
the holidays with us.

Board Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology
New Timing for Down’s Syndrome Screening
For ten years or more, obstetricians have adhered to
the official standard of care
for screening fetuses for
Down’s syndrome. Blood
tests to screen for a possible
chromosomal problem were
performed at about 15-16
weeks into the pregnancy.
However, a more recent
study of over 40,000 pregnant women indicates that
the best time to screen for
Down’s syndrome is at 11
weeks into the pregnancy.
An ultrasound is also
undertaken at that time to
look for signs of trouble.
The ultrasound involved
in this early screening includes checking the fetus’
neck area for an abnormal
thickening.
According to the study,
the blood tests and ultrasound performed at 11
weeks detected 87 percent
of the cases of Down’s syndrome.
Early screening can give
us more information, but it
also leaves us with difficult
choices. My staff and I understand the sensitive nature of your concerns about
your pregnancy. We understand the health care needs
of women throughout all
phases of the lifecycle, from
adolescent medicine to
treatment for menopause.
Also, we believe in prevention which is why we
advise yearly checkups and
routine breast self-exams
and mammograms after 40.
For more information call my office at
419-399-1745
We are conveniently located at the
Paulding County Hospital Medical Office Building
1032 West Wayne Street
Note: In Down’s syndrome, the most frequently occurring
chromosomal disorder, an individual has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46.

The dedication of the new
Firehouse was in 1965. The
ladies had lots of games and
tents set up and all kinds of
kid contests where they could
win small prizes. We had a
fine parade in the afternoon.
The Masonic Temple
people served six hundred chicken dinners. The
Methodist Men’s Club had
a food tent and the V.F.W.
ladies served meals also.
We had our State Representative, Del Jeffery here as well
as our Congressman, Del
Latta, who was the speaker.
The Lucas Kids, Mark, Dave,
Scott, Julie and Jeffery were
part of the main entertainment that night. They played
and sang and everyone enjoyed them. Julie was about
five years old and that was
about 1965 so now you know
her age. She won’t be too mad
for telling her age because I’m
her uncle.
That was an enjoyable day,
a one day celebration. A lot of
people have said they would
like to have another one day
carnival at the fire house like
we did years ago. That is some
thing for the people to think
about.
In the west end of the meeting room, in the firehouse,
was a place for a kitchenette,
so Henry Littlejohn gave us a
complete set of kitchen cabinets as he was building a new
house. So with a sink and an
electric stove we had a pretty

MEDICATION AND THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITIES CAN
MAKE AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF
PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
(NAPSA)—Many people understand that getting a diagnosis of
Alzheimer ’s disease and treatment with an FDA-approved prescription medication may help
slow the progression of the disease’s symptoms. But did you
know that caregivers can complement treatment with activities
that may help reconnect their
loved ones to daily life?
“In addition to obtaining a
diagnosis and beginning medication, it’s important that caregivers
plan activities to share with their
loved one, like playing games and
going on outings,” explained Eric
Pfeiffer, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Founding Director of the
Suncoast Gerontology Center at
the University of South Florida
Medical Center. “Even doing simple tasks like baking cookies or
feeding pets can help to give a
patient with Alzheimer’s a sense
of self-esteem or self-worth.”
Engaging a person with
Alzheimer’s in activities that they
enjoy may reduce many of the
symptoms of the disease, such as
agitation, frustration and wandering, according to the Fischer Center for Alzheimer ’s Research
Foundation. These therapeutic
activities can include:
• Playing music of the person’s
choosing
• One-on-one interaction

TAKE THE QUICK HEARING TEST!
Caregiver Dick Lundgren and his
wife, Dorothee, enjoy spending
quality time together.
• Playing videotapes of family
members
• Walking and light exercise
• Pet therapy
“When I noticed that my wife,
Dorothee, was showing symptoms
of Alzheimer’s, I took her to the
doctor,” said caregiver, Dick
Lundgren. Dorothee was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease
and began treatment with
Namenda ® (memantine HCl).
Namenda is the only medication
approved for the moderate and
severe stages of the disease. In
addition to the benefits they’ve
seen from Namenda, Dick finds
that taking Dorothee for daily
walks in their neighborhood
makes an important difference in
her quality of life. “Not only do
the walks get her outside in the
fresh air, they allow her to get
moving, to get some exercise,”
said Dick.
Dick also knows firsthand that
activities shared by both the
patient and caregiver can benefit
the caregiver as well. “The walks
have given us a chance to spend
quality time together, and make
me feel like I’m really making a
difference in her life.”
“Above and beyond the benefit
to the patient,” added Dr. Pfeiffer,
“sharing in activities can help
caregivers feel more connected to
their loved ones.”
Namenda is the only medication approved for the moderate
to severe stages of Alzheimer ’s
disease and is available by prescription in the U.S. For more
information, ask your doctor
about Namenda or go to
www.Namenda.com. Individual
results may vary by patient.
Patients who are hypersensitive to memantine HCl or any
ingredients used in its formulation should not take Namenda.
The most common adverse events
reported with Namenda vs.
placebo were dizziness, confusion, headache, and constipation.
Patients with severe kidney disease should take a reduced
dosage of Namenda.

Day and special occasions it
came in pretty regular.
At that time, the Weatherhead Co. gave us a complete
set of all new office furniture.
We were very grateful for that
gift.
Along about this time we
picked up a grass unit. That
is a four wheel pick-up truck
with a tank for four hundred
gallons of water and two hundred foot reels of three quarter inch hard rubber hose. It
also had an electric start air
cooled engine to furnish pressure to the hoses. That unit
was a great addition to the department, it was as handy as a
pocket on a shirt.
In the early 70’s we established a E.M.S. Unit inside
the department. A lot of the
fellows took all the training
that was needed to become an
E.M.T. So all their units and
equipment was housed in the
north end of the fire station.
The fellows did a fine job for
years at being E.M.T’s but I
guess the rules came down
that they all had to take the
training over and to be reclassified. A lot of them didn’t
want to do that so they were
running short of help. So
they had to go outside for assistance and over a period of
time the E.M.S., as we know it
now, was formed. They are a
fine group of dedicated people
and are always ready to assist
someone. Maybe more on this
unit later.
Along about 1978, I retired
from the Fire Department
with about 30 years of service. It got to where my knees
wouldn’t let me climb a ladder
any more. So I made room for
some younger fellows to get
on the department. We are
allowed 25 officers and men
and you must be 21 years of
age and in good physical condition.
But now going back a few
years in the departments history, shortly after we built the
new fire station, we selected a
queen to represent us at the
N.W.O.V.F.A.
Convention.
That stands for North West
Ohio Volunteer Fireman’s Association. The State of Ohio is
cut down the middle from
North to South and from East
to West, therefore the state is
in four quarters. We are in the
Northwest quarter.
We have had three
queens to represent us at
the N.W.O.V.F.A. Conventions have won the honor
of being queen of the whole
N.W.O.V.F.A. For that following year.
In 1967 Linda Murphy was
queen. in 1968 Karen Deager
was queen and in 1971 Carole
Shuherk was queen. I think
our girls did well for us.
I think it was back in 1965
when Sonny and Cher made
an appearance at the roller
rink. They were just getting
started in the entertainment
business, but it was a big night
for our young folks to see
such celebrities. All the firemen furnished the security
for that night and things went
by without a hitch.
For many years the fireman have assisted in parking
the cars at the football field for
home games. Back in the 50’s
and 60’s the firemen helped
with security at the home basketball games. I guess maybe
even later than that. When
Mr. Adams was superintendent of the school system he
let the firemen and their families use the swimming pool
one evening a month without
charge in partial pay for all
the help they gave.
H
name through their loving
prayers. Thank you, also to
Scott and Michele Arend and
Patrick Arend for spearheading this benefit to support
Ethan’s medical expenses.
So many of you have
shared your excitement
with us regarding the 9-pin
bowling benefit for Ethan
on March 31 and April 1
at Hanes Lanes in Paulding. Some of you have commented that you would love
to participate and join in the
fun, but that you don’t like
to bowl. No problem! Both
nights will be fi lled with
fun and laughter and an opportunity to participate in a
50/50 raffle, an auction, door
prizes and other raffles—
even a mouth-watering bake
sale.
Even more importantly,
albeit past his bedtime, we
are planning for a special
appearance from the “star
of the show” both nights.
You have all been so very
supportive. Whether you
bowl or not, the Arend and
Breckler families would love
for you just to come and enjoy the company of so many
wonderful people brought
together by one common
bond—their love for Baby
Ethan.

be sent to: Ethan Arend, c/o

Jeff Lucas of Antwerp,
bowled the first perfect 300
game at Antwerp Alleys on
March 15. Jeff, with an average of 186, told his teammates at the start of the
night, he was tired of tapping the ten pin and tonight
he was going to do it right.
He bowled a 226 to start his
series followed by a 214. The
third game he stepped up
and rolled 300 for a series
of 740. At the beginning of
this season Marie, co-owner
of the bowling alley, asked
Jeff if he was ever going to
bowl a 300. He said he would
try and he did. We are very
proud of Jeff and his accomplishments. Jeff has a true
love of the sport and worked
hard all season to improve.
There were two previous 300
games bowled at Antwerp
Alleys when it was known
as Pin-A-Rama. The first was
bowled by Tom Friend and
the second by Bob King.
Phil and Marie Bauer reopened the bowling alley on
August 15, 2003. Each year
they work at improving the
center, its environment and
the lanes. This last summer
they installed automatic
scoring and repainted the
outside. This summer will
likely lead to further improvements. The Bauer’s are
pleased that the community
has supported them in their
efforts to provide a service
to Antwerp. Phil and Marie
would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to Jeff
Lucas for his perfect game.
