ROTARY AWARENESS

MONTH

During this month, Rotarians are

encouraged to share with the community

the vast work Rotarians do.

The more they know what we do , the

more we can do.

Dr. Ken LaPolla, back from a

trip out of the country, kicked off

Fellowship this week by welcoming

visiting Rotarians, Jim Tallman from

Niles and Don Mumford of Howland.

Our Club was also pleased to have

Adrienne Steward and Julian Scott

with us, both of whom are potential

new members.

In the humorous style we’ve

come to love, Ken offered several

puns and jokes, including:

No matter how much you push the

envelope, it’ll still be stationery.

Energizer Bunny Arrested: Charged with Battery.

What do you call a midget fortune teller who just escaped from prison?

A small medium at large!

Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to

the other: You stay here; I’ll go on ahead.

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy and said, “I

would like to buy some cyanide.” The pharmacist asked, “Why in the

world do you need cyanide?” The lady replied, “I need it to poison my

husband.” The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he exclaimed, “Lord have

mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against

the law! I’ll lose my license! They’ll throw you in jail! All kinds of bad

things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her

husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looked at

Of the things we think, say

Is it the truth?

Is it fair to all concerned?

Will it build goodwill and

Will it be

the picture and replied, “Well now. That’s different. You didn’t tell

HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION MADE TO THE ROTARY CLUB OF WARREN

Canal Fulto

JOIN US T

Four and a half years ago, Don Mumford entered a contest to write

a monthly column for the Tribune Chronicle for a year. His articles

entitled, “Good Old Warren”, won, and after that year, he was asked to

continue writing for the paper. Since that time, he has published over

100 columns about the history of Warren spanning the 1930’s through the

1960’s. Don presented a compilation of these articles for our Club’s

archives. Incidentally, Don’s father, Avon Mumford, was a member of

the Rotary Club of Warren, and these two fine gentlemen comprise 82

years of service to Rotary! Congratulations on your accomplishments, Don,

and thank you for your generous contribution!

Four years ago, the Rotarian began to

publish a collection of first-person accounts

of what it’s like to do something unusual.

According to the feature, which takes up the

majority of this month’s edition of the

Rotarian, “ordinary Rotarians can find

themselves in extraordinary circumstances.”

Diane Sauer summarized this year’s unique

and sometimes heroic feats, which included

Rotarians who:

*** survived a plane crash

*** visited Rotary clubs in 22 countries

*** fell in love

*** went undercover for the FBI

*** fought polio

*** won an Olympic gold medal

*** built an ice hockey rink; and more.

You can also meet six trailblazing Rotary and Rotaract members who were

honored as young innovators during Rotary Day at the United Nations in

Nairobi, Kenya. These men and women, under the age of 35, taught

vocational and business skills to incarcerated women, organized Rotary clubs in

refugee settlements, and were in other ways committed to solving problems

and connecting local issues with global concerns.

Finally, Diane encouraged us to check out tips for decluttering our homes

in “Clean Out of Excuses - Downsize Now. Our Children Will Thank You

Later.” (Isn’t that the truth!!)

MAGAZINE REPORT

MERCY HEALTH SLEEP CENTER

Amy Estock is a Registered Therapist, Registered Sleep Technician, and Manager

of the Mercy Health Bon Secours

Youngstown Region Sleep Centers and

Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.

She has taught Polysomnography (Sleep Technology) at Youngstown State

University and has over 30 years of

experience in the healthcare field. She

received her degree in Respiratory Care

at Akron University and a degree in Allied Healthca

Healthcare at YSU. She lives in Alliance,

Ohio with her husband, Andy and two

daughters, Madison and Alivia. They

reside on a small farm outside of town. Amy spoke to us about sleep and

sleep disorders in order to help us understand the necessity of sleep in our

24/7 society. According to Webster’s Dictionary, sleep is the “natural periodic

suspension of consciousness during which bodily powers are restored”. We

spend one third of our life sleeping, and Estock emphasized that sleep is

important because it: conserves our energy, restores our bodily functions,

and contributes to brain plasticity (i.e. gives us down time so we can better

learn and use our cognitive abilities). In a nutshell, if we don’t sleep, we

will die.

The recommended sleep requirements per age are as follows:

Older than 65 years of age: 7 to 8 hours

26 – 64 years old: 7 to 9 hours

18 - 25 years of age: 7 to 9 hours

Teenagers: 8 to 10 hours

School Aged Children: 9 to 11 hours

Preschoolers: 10 to 13 hours

Toddlers: 11 to 14 hours

Infants: 12 to 15 hours

Newborns: 14 to 17 hours

In order to improve your sleep habits, Estock offered the following

advice: 1. Stick to a regular schedule;

2. 2. Practice relaxing bedtime rituals;

3. discontinue watching TV ½ hour before bedtime;

4. evaluate your bedroom and make sure it is neither too cold nor too warm,

eliminate light, decrease noise, and have a comfy mattress;

5. eliminate caffeine and alcohol 2 hours before bed – they are hidden

sleep stealers because they take away deep, dream sleep;

6. exercise more than 2 hours before bed;

7. don’t eat heavy snacks before bed; and

8. make sleep a priority in your life.

Along these same lines, the Ten Commandments of Good Sleep

include: 1. Thou shalt not stay in bed too long if you can’t sleep –

get up after 30 minutes and do something else.

2. Thou shalt not go to bed unless you are sleepy.

3. Thou shalt avoid daytime naps (or limit them to 20 minutes).

4. Thou shalt avoid stimulants after lunchtime.

5. Thou shalt not have a hot toddy before bed.

6. Thou shalt not smoke.

7. Thou shalt exercise regularly.

8. Thou shalt not go to bed hungry.

9. Thou shalt not watch TV or read in bed.

10. Thou shalt keep noise down and keep your bedroom at a comfortable

temperature.

The list of health problems and other dangers related to

insufficient sleep is numerous. Concerns that can arise include:

stroke, cardiac problems, migraines, a tendency to grind your teeth,

memory loss, insulin resistance, weight problems, and increased traffic

violations, to name a few. In addition, sleep disorder, such as

insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea , narcolepsy, and sleepwalking, can

have a negative impact on our lives.

Sleep is important to all of us. Yet, more than 10 million

Americans of all ages fail to get a good night’s sleep! The good news is

that with adjustments to our sleep schedules and/or available

treatment from medical specialists, we can get the sleep we’ve been

dreaming of and feel good!
