Dr. Andrew Pasquale, 93
Ripley Bee
Rodney Gray, 91
After completing two years of service in a MASH unit in the Korean War and a six year surgical residency at Cincinnati General Hospital (now University Hospital) Doctor Andrew Jim Pasquale and his wife Emily were looking for a community that needed someone with his skills. CGH had trained him to be a trauma surgeon. They found that place in Georgetown, OH a small rural community about 45 miles from Cincinnati. Brown County General Hospital served many of the nearby small towns. Cincinnati physicians provided elective surgery with follow-up care by their local general practitioner. Most elective and all emergency surgical procedures were sent to major hospitals in Cincinnati. The hospital administrator was happy to meet a surgeon who was interested in locating in the community. They moved to Georgetown in 1961. A serious car accident occurred on his first week on the job. The four victims were transported to BCGH. Dr. Pasquale triaged the situation and sent one patient to Cincinnati. Eighteen surgical hours later the three other patients had been operated on and were recovering. Full time emergency medicine and general surgery were now available to the residents of Brown, eastern Adams, and western Clermont Counties. Soon Dr. Pasquale expanded the practice by adding obstetricians, John “Jack” Powell and Robert “Ben” Benintendi. For 26 years they delivered babies, removed tumors and appendices, set broken bones, and attended to victims of accidents and gunshot wounds. Jim Pasquale was born June 6, 1927 in the coal mining town of Williamson, WV to parents who emigrated from Southern Italy. His father worked on the railroad and in the coal mines of Mingo County. Jim graduated from Williamson High School in 1944. By the summer of 1946 he completed his undergraduate studies at West Virginia University in Morgantown. He enrolled in medical school at West Virginia University for two years of classroom study and then completed two clinical years at the Medical College of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. He graduated in 1950 and moved to Cincinnati General Hospital for eight years of training. He served 2 years in the US Army during the Korean War. Dr. Pasquale retired from his group practice in 1987. He never regretted retiring as it was the first time since before his college years that he had more than one consecutive week of free time. In retirement his humorous and collegial personality bloomed. Dr. Pasquale and his wife of 62 years travelled extensively in retirement. They settled in Sarasota, FL. Dr. Pasquale loved nothing more than his wife, children and grandchildren, telling jokes, and eating ice cream. At 93 years of age, Dr. Pasquale died of natural causes on May 15, 2020 with several members of his family by his side. He is survived by his wife Emily Penfield Pasquale, six children: Jeff (Margaret) of Cincinnati, OH; Mike of Georgetown, OH; Melanie Terry of Lone Tree, CO; Amy Schulte (William) of Sarasota, FL; Scott (Lorraine) of Chicopee, MA; and John (Hannah) of Newmarket, NH; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild, Andrew born April 2020.

Farmers Market Nutrition Program
The Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is a federally funded program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Services Agency and in Ohio, by the Ohio Department of Aging (ODA). ODA provides additional state funds to support SFMNP operation within Ohio. The program is managed locally by the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) and provides eligible older adults with $50 in coupons each growing season to use at participating farmers’ markets and roadside stands to purchase produce. To be eligible for the $50 in coupons for this year, individuals must live in the ten counties included in the AAA7’s district which include Adams, Brown Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Individuals must be age 60 or over at the time of application and households must be at 185% of the poverty level. In a household, both the husband and wife can be eligible separately for the coupons. Individuals can only receive the $50 in coupons (ten $5 coupons) one time per year and items must be purchased from authorized farmers only. Coupons will be mailed in late June to begin use in July and continue through October. Applications can be found on the AAA7’s website at www.aaa7.org, under the “Happening Now” section on the Home Page, or you can call 1-800-343-8112 to request an application or to ask any questions. The Agency can also be reached via e-mail for applications or questions at FarmersMarket@aaa7.org.
Support for caregivers
During this time when families find themselves more isolated, it is important to reach out to others to find help and support. Through the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7), a Caregiver Telephone Support Group is being started for just this reason for the ten counties the Agency serves which includes Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. The group will offer caregivers support from the AAA7 Caregiver Program, education on various caregiving topics, and resources for caregivers during this time. The telephone option will provide caregivers with the opportunity to learn and gain support from each other without leaving their homes. Caregiving is a loving and giving act, but can bring stress and questions for the one providing care, especially during this time. The Caregiver Telephone Support Group will be open for caregivers age 18 and older who are providing assistance for relatives, friends, neighbors, or others; but are unpaid for the services. This also includes grandparents or other relatives raising children. Currently, the group support is planned for a monthly call and will have defined caregiving topics, discussion, time for sharing, and an opportunity for questions. If you are interested in learning more about the Telephone Caregiver Support Group at the AAA7, please call Vicki Woyan at the AAA7 by May 15th. She can be reached by calling 1-800-5827277, extension 215 or e-mail info@aaa7.org. The Caregiver Support Program at the AAA7 has been in existence since 2000 and is funded by the federal Older Americans Act. It provides caregivers with services that can help reduce stress, in addition to resources that can aid with providing better care for not only the loved one, but the individual caregiver as well. Caregivers age 18 and over are eligible for the caregiver support program services in addition to grandparents raising grandchildren.
