CNOtes – July 31, 2018 – Project READ

Phather Phil’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, slow but surly the day light is getting shorter as we head to the darkness of December. Oh! How sad December would be if we had no knowledge of Spring or in life if we had no knowledge of You and
heaven. In life we experience the bright times and the dark times. In the dark times we can turn to You. You are to us like the promise of Spring. We can turn to You to shed Your light on our dark times. We stand in utter
amazement of Your love for us and the certainty of Your word and forever give You praise and honor for what You done for us. Amen!

CNOtes – July 24, 2018 – Carl Gill – Ohio Hospice American Pride Program

Phather Phil’s Prayer

Heavenly Father in faith we come to You and bow our heads in prayer. For we have learned how quickly our problems disappear when we turn them over to You. If for no other reason we need to give thanks for all our blessings. When we give thanks for little we find we have enough. You are with us constantly, teach us to always stay in contact in prayer and duty. You made us for Yourself and our hearts are restless till we rest in thee. Have us know that the tasks before us are never greater than the power behind us. Amen!

Today’s Presentation

Debe Dockins introduced Amy Wagner, the Chief Operating Officer of Ohio’s Hospice which is a not-for-profit, community-based organization serving patients and their families in their own communities. Born and raised in Dayton, Amy is a graduate of Wright State, and has more than 20 years’ experience in HR, most recently serving as the organization’s Chief HR and Compliance Officer. She lives in Kettering with her husband and two children. Amy has also rappelled down the side of the Key Bank Tower (27 stories) for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Great Miami Valley.

Carl Gill is Director of Strategic Development and is with us to talk about the American Pride program, which focuses on Veteran Healthcare. Prior to Hospice of Dayton and Ohio’s Hospice, Carl worked for 15 years in Hospice in Florida. AND Carl is a member of the Centerville Rotary Club.

Ohio’s Hospice was formed 5 years ago and serves 40 counties in Ohio. Hospice of Dayton is part of it. Ohio’s Hospice works with not-for-profit hospices in Ohio. Mission: Celebrate the lives of those we have the privilege of serving by providing superior care and services to each patient and family.

Hospice of Dayton can serve 53 inpatients. Ohio’s Hospice assists with approximately 1500 patients at a time. Initially, services are provided at wherever a patient calls home but they may later come to a Hospice location as an inpatient. Providing the assistance for the 1500 patients requires 1230 staff members and over 1200 volunteers.

Of the 29 hospices in the Dayton area, Hospice of Dayton is the only non-profit.

From their website, Ohio’s Hospice is an affiliation of not-for-profit hospice providers committed to:

  • Increasing access, diversifying our care and service offerings to reduce suffering, pain, helplessness and unwanted waiting for people in need of hospice and palliative care in the communities we serve
  • Continuous improvement in the delivery of superior care and superior service to all we have the privilege of serving
  • Improving efficiency and performance to ensure mission sustainability and enhance accountability
  • Creating and maintaining meaningful partnerships and collaborative initiatives with healthcare providers to improve the quality of care and outcomes of our patients
  • Creating and fostering a positive, strong culture that attracts, retains and promotes the very best staff

Hospice Honor’s Veterans

Amy Wagner introduced us to Carl Gill, Ohio’s Hospice Director of Strategic Development.

Carl Gill talked to us about the Ohio Hospice American Pride Partnership. He explained that working to become a veteran centric provider improves the experience of a veteran’s end-of-life care. It was created to honor those who have served in the military. Often there is not much time to honor these patients before they die. Lots of help is needed to be able to honor them so they are always looking for additional veterans to volunteer to help with their efforts.

Currently 680,000 veterans die annually, 25% of all deaths. We had 19 million soldiers who served during WWII and 7.9 million who served in Vietnam. Currently on average 30 Vietnam Veterans die each day. The deaths could be accelerating because of an untracked statistic of how many were exposed to Agent Orange, a herbicide and defoliant chemical used during the Vietnam war.

We also viewed the five-and-a-half-minute video Carl showed us called “Just a Common Soldier”.

When Carl was done with his presentation, he asked all veterans and relatives of veterans to come see him so that he could give them lapel pins to honor them. It is their hope that every veteran be honored with these lapel pins.

CNOtes – Optimist 2.0 July 19, 2018 – Poelking Lanes Dayton Mall – Joe Poelking

All Photos from the Event are Here

CNO 2.0 Venue and Details

The venue for tonight’s CNO 2.0 meeting was at Poelking Lanes South in Miami Township Ohio. Thank you to Joe Poelking, the owner of the venue, for donating the VIP Bowling Lounge for our meeting with complimentary bowling and for telling us the history of his family and their bowling businesses.

Greg Fay, the chair of CNO 2.0, introduced today’s guest speaker and gave information about our club to guests attending tonight’s meeting.

http://poelkingbowling.com/south/

There were 38 people at the meeting (27 members and 11 guests).

Joe Poelking, Owner, Poelking Lanes South

Joe and his cousin run Poelking Lanes. The business was started in the 1940s by his grandfather. World War II caused the lanes to close after a few years because there were not enough workers available to work as pinsetters. The Poelking Lanes on Wilmington Avenue started again in the 1950’s. In November of 2012 the VIP suite at Poelking Lanes South was opened and it is a place to have your own private bowling party.

Bowling is a multigenerational activity. The activity helps facilitate family and friend social gatherings. He remembers when bumper bowling first became popular. It allowed even more family members to enjoy bowling. People also use bowling for networking.

The industry changes. He and his partner learn about options and trends in the industry. They check with the public to see what would work the best. Recently Hyper Bowling has started at some bowling venues. It is bumper bowling with sensors and lights on the bumpers and a computer scores your bowl based on hitting the rights spots on the bumpers on the way down the lane. He is considering adding the game to some of their lanes.

High school bowling as a sport has become huge especially in Ohio. Tournaments can have over 4000 kids. It can involve 7 venues at the same time. They are working on trying to be the host of these national tournaments. They are working with the schools to help create feeder programs to continue to make the sport popular.

Bowling events for Charitable Fund Raising

In the 1980’s he got involved with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and he is on the board. They host a bowling fundraiser each year. Typical amounts raised each year are $50,000 – $60,000, but one year it hit $100,000.

Bowling for Hospice has been run 16 years and in total has raised over $800,000.

Example Events Hosted in the VIP Lounge:

  • Birthday Parties, including surprise birthday parties
  • Weddings
  • Wedding Receptions
  • Business Meetings
  • Wakes (lifelong bowling fans)

CNOtes – July 17, 2018 – Gerry Coen – Therapy Dogs

Phather Phil’s Prayer

Heavenly Father here we are; standing in the need of prayer. It is with gratitude that we open the doors to You to live life to its fullest. When we develop the habit and routine of daily prayer, we wash our blackboard clean
to fit us to combat whatever faces us today. You have established us as men and women of purpose in Your kingdom. Let Your blessings be on all our work and may diligence, productivity and excellence mark the work of
our hands and heart.  Amen!

Today’s Presentation or Speaker

Deb Saunders introduced Gerry Cohen, the president of the Miami Valley Pet Therapy Association (mvPTa). She has worked for the association for 11 years. She brought her specially trained therapy dog, Bailey. Together they work throughout the Miami Valley. Locations include Wright Patterson Airforce Base (WPAFB), schools, libraries, Dayton Children’s Hospital, Hospice, nursing/assisted living facilities and more. Joining Gerry today are Brenda Metcalf and her specially trained therapy dog Rhenn.

Bailey is part Beagle and part Lab. She was rescued when she was 2 years old and, after recovering from being homeless, she spent a couple of years as a therapy dog at a jail.

Gerry supervises the programs at WPAFB base. It is a popular program for the workers there. It took a year to get the hospital to approve the program and it is now spreading to other areas.

At WPAFB is the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC). NASIC is the main intelligence gathering center for the US. Colonel Young asked if mvPTa could help with the employees there who have to stare at computers all day. They are happy to have some downtime playing with the dogs.

All kinds of institutions and people like the therapy dog program. At libraries it encourages kids to read more. The kids read to the dogs who are not judgmental about getting every word correct. Even children that haven’t really learned to read will spend time trying to read to these wonderful animals.

The mission of the mvPTa is to bring love to children and adults. Schools really love it when they come in. They recently received many thank you notes from Trotwood Madison 4th graders.

Quick Notes about the mvPTa

  • Started in 2000.
  • There are over 125 active pet therapy teams in the mvPTa.
  • Teams are typically made up of a pet and their owner, (dogs, rabbits, cats, and hand-held pets).
  • Their tag line is, “The preferred resource for exceptional visits by certified therapy pets.”
  • They teach children how to handle dogs that they don’t know.
  • It is the largest pet therapy program in the Air Force and has been operating for 6 years.
  • Bailey can do tricks and she showed us some.
  • mvPTa helps others get their pet therapy groups running. Recently Virginia asked for help.
  • The dogs are specifically taught not to bark.

The Howl Run / Walk is their annual fund raiser. This year it is on 9/29/2018 from 9 AM to 1 PM at Indian Riffle Park. In addition to the run/walk their will be costume contests. police demonstrations and silent auction gift baskets. You can register online. There will be 4 different 5K’s and 4 prizes awarded, 2 for walking and 2 for running, both of these with or without a dog.

Therapy Animals Versus Service Animals

mvPTa is about therapy animals, not service animals. The training and purposes are very different. Don’t approach service animals; their training makes the dogs worth over $40,000 and it will make the owner nervous. Therapy dogs are trained to invite people to pet them and trained to give you love and attention. It takes 7 weeks to get certified and the dogs are tested regularly. They get a physical every year and every 2 years they need to be recertified.

Today’s Speaker

Jay McAlpine introduced Terry L. Oroszi, M.S., Ed.D., Assistant Professor, Pharmacology & Toxicology; Director, MS Graduate Program, P&T, BSOM; Director, CBRN Defense Certificate Program at Wright State University.

She has authored 2 books about terrorism so far with another about to be released. She has also published several articles.

Terry spoke to us about her study of terrorism based on data she has collected since 9/11.

Her full presentation can take over 90 minutes and Terry did an excellent job of reducing it to the 20 minutes we were able to offer her at today’s lunch. She shared a lot of interesting information from her research into terrorists

A Few Points Terry Mentioned:

  • Countries can reduce chances of terrorism by feeding the hungry.
  • Spikes in terrorist acts can occur. Often, they are from copy cats of recent terrorist events, new U.S. presidents, and ISIS in general is sponsoring a lot of the World’s terrorism.
  • Of U.S. states, Ohio ranks 3rd highest in the number of American citizens that are terrorists.
  • Men are much more severely sentenced, often getting 21 or more years, while women only get about 4 years.
  • Veterans are often recruited because of their training and that they often feel like they don’t fit in after leaving the service.
  • The main targets for terrorist attacks are bridges, military installations and military personnel.

Online Resources

A great summary of what Terry discussed is available on Wright State’s Site at https://people.wright.edu/terry.oroszi. Included on this page is a typical profile of a terrorist. She went over this profile with us and it was very interesting.

At the bottom of her WSU page is a list of her experience and other qualifications in her curriculum vitae.
