The Smithville Church
This Smithville church was built in 1867, and is the oldest standing Church of God structure in Ohio. It’s last service was held in 2005, when the congregation had become so small that it could no longer care for the church. Two of the oldest members felt it should be donated to the Smithville Community Historical Society. At that time much remodeling
was done both inside and out. A new roof was installed in 2014. One of the major changes to the church took place in the early 1920s when the 117 foot steeple was removed. The church is used for programs monthly and is still used for weddings and other events. The next event will be our annual Hymn Sing on Sunday, April 14 at 3 P.M. The event is free all are welcome.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Dr. Schenk’s Mandrake Pills—A Substitute for Calomel
These pills are composed of various roots, having the power to relax the secretions of the liver as promptly and effectually as blue pill or mercury and without producing any of those disagreeable or dangerous effects which often follow the use of the latter. In all billous disorders these pills may be used with confidence, as they promote the discharge of vitiated bile, and remove the obstructions from the liver and billary ducts, which are the cause of billous affections in general.

Wooster Daily Republican NEW PUBLICATIONS
Tried and True; or Love and Loyalty—A Story of the Great Rebellions By rs. Bella E. Spencer. This book is written by the wife of one of our Generals in Sherman’s Army, a loyal Southern woman at the breaking out of the war. It is a thrilling account of what she has herself seen and known of heroism, daring and suffering. A large array of faces and some fiction, making a book of intensely thrilling interest. The book is finely illustrated and handsomely published and will be welcomed by the loyal citizens of our country. Mr. Hibban Cheyney is agent for this work and will canvass Wooster some time this summer, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our citizens. May 16, 1867
Wooster Daily Republican Poetry Spring From a New Poem by R.W. Emerson 2 | Now & Then
Why chidest thou this tardy spring? The hardy bunting does not chide, The blackbird makes thee maples ring With social cheer and jubilee, The redwing flutes his O-K-A-LEW, The robins know the melting bow; The sparrow meets prophetic-eyed, Her nest beside the snow-drift weaves Secure the color yet will bide Her callow brood is mantling leaves, And, thou, by aglance all undone Why only must thy reason fail To see the soothing of the sun? May 16, 1867
A Visit to George Peabody.
A gentleman who has enjoyed free conversation with Mr. George Peabody writes the following account of it to the Newark Journal. Kindly invited by a relative of Mr. George Peabody to be presented to that distinguished gentleman. I called upon him on Saturday last, at the residence of Samuel Wetmore, Esq, No.15 Waverly Place, and was very cordially received. The conversation turned at once upon the remote section of the country in which I formerly resided, the difficulties in which I formerly resided, the difficulties attendant upon reaching it, by the overland stage facilities, and the rapid progress made by the Union Pacific Railroad. In this connection Mr. Peabody expressed the hope that on his next visit to this country an opportunity might be afforded him to visit the Pacific coast and the great intermediate country by railway. His remarks concerning the construction of the road, of the mountains to be tunneled or scaled, of the various obstacles to be surmounted, of the amount of Government aid bestowed, of the value of the land granted, of the probable traffic of the roots and the immense advantage which would accrue to the country from its completion, rendered it apparent that he had carefully considered the subject in all its bearings.
Joke Corner Flying Larry was a photographer for the N.Y. Times, and was scheduled to meet a plane on the runway to take him on a job. “Hit it,” said Larry climbing into the first plane he saw on the runway. The pilot took off, and was soon in the air. “OK,” said Larry, “fly low over the trees over there, I want to take a few pictures.”“What do you mean?” asked the pilot. Larry looked at the pilot and answered a little annoyed, “I need to take some pictures for the N.Y. Times, so please…..” There was a long pause, before the pilot asked in a shaky voice, “you mean you’re not my pilot instructor?”

Harvey ...is a pooka
Due to his insistence that he has an invisible six foot-tall rabbit for a best friend, a whimsical middle-aged man is thought by his family to be insane - but he may be wiser than anyone knows. by Randy Wilson Now & TheN Contributor
Due to his insistence that he has an invisible six foot-tall rabbit for a best friend, a whimsical middle-aged man is thought by his family to be insane but he may be wiser than anyone knows. Elwood P. Dowd (Jimmy Stewart) is an endlessly pleasant and delightfully eccentric bachelor living in a small town that isn't quite aware that its newest citizen is an invisible, 6'3" white rabbit named "Harvey," that only certain people can see. After supposedly meeting this rabbit its origins attributed to the Celtic legend of the Pooka - Dowd's sanity is put into question by his equally eccentric sister, Veta Louise (Josephine Hull). Elwood casually drives his sister's guests from their house by introducing and carrying on one-sided conversations with his invisible and silent friend. His sister and niece, Myrtle Mae (Victoria Horne), resort to taking him to the local sanitarium to have him committed. However, owing to people not paying attention, interrupting, and cutting Elwood off as he is about to introduce his imaginary friend, it doesn't immediately appear that there is anything wrong with him, although the examining doctor is sure he is doing the right thing by admitting him. Elwood is carted upstairs by a rough-handed and simpleminded man in the white coat while the examining doctor ushers the sister into the head psychiatrist's --Dr. Chumley's (Cecil Kellaway)--office to give a description of the problem. As
4 | Now & Then
Elwood is "escorted" to hydrotherapy, he tells the man in the white coat his friend "Harvey" is a "Pooka" The Aide later looks up the definition in the dictionary: "Celtic mythology, a mischievous spirit that takes animal form and appears sometimes to some people for the purpose of doing this and that." As Veta, still highly upset over Elwood driving away her friends, bemoans Elwoods delusions to Dr. Chumley, her frazzled manner and insistence that Elwood actually does have a six foot 3 inch invisible rabbit for a friend convinces Chumley it is she, not Elwood, who is hallucinating. He quickly has Veta carted upstairs and, fearing a lawsuit for incarcerating and treating a sane man, brings Elwood down and makes every manner of friendly gesture, including firing the examining doctor, Dr. Sanderson (Charles Drake). His nurse, Miss Kelly (Peggy Dow), who is actually quite fond of Dr. Sanderson, is crestfallen, but, upset at being fired, the good doctor is unaware of her feelings for him, and this angers her. Elwood in his normal good natured way takes no exception to any of the events and once again, as he is about to introduce "Harvey," gets cut off, interrupted and ignored while Dr. Chumley pursues his patronizing commentary. Never one to interrupt, the pinnacle of politeness, Elwood lets him say whatever he is going to say and is finally given a pass to leave. Soon Veta's friends, including Judge Gaffney (William H. Lynn), and Myrtle Mae arrive. The mistake is uncovered, and the
entire group goes into a panic trying to find Elwood. Veta and the Judge Gaffney promise to sue the sanitarium for wrongful incarceration and rough treatment. Distraught, Elwood drinks heavily and retires to his favorite watering hole, Charlie's. Dr. Chumley, himself, tracks Elwood down, but while he is doing this, everyone else is looking in other places. When it finally becomes apparent to everyone that the Doctor has been gone for over four hours and that Elwood is not back in custody, another major panic ensues and the group descends on Charlie's to see what has happened to Dr. Chumley. Elwood, of course, is sitting alone, drinking, and maintains that the doctor left the bar with Harvey. They are convinced he is a madman and has done away with the doctor. However, in his easygoing and pleasant manner, Elwood sidetracks everyone with drinks and conversation and disarms them. Eventually the subject does turn back to the missing doctor, and the panic ensues again. The police are summoned, the heavy handed man in the white coat muscles Elwood back to the sanitarium, but not before becoming infatuated with Myrtle Mae and making advances toward her. Although he is a big galoot, she's attracted to him. The entire entourage, of Veta, Myrtle Mae, Dr. Sanderson, Miss Kelly, Judge Gaffney, the guard and the police, arrive at the sanitarium in a police car and a taxi to discover the doctor is there. However, Dr. Chumley arrives back at the hospital with a look of admiration and fear. Dr. Chumley indeed did leave with Harvey, the Pooka, but he wisely does not say anything about it to anyone, dismisses them all and tells everyone that everything is under control. He tells Dr. Sanderson that he is a fine doctor and can have his job back, then disappears into his office. Sanderson then decides to administer a very powerful injection, called Formula 977, into Elwood that will make him cease with his delusions about the rabbit for once and for all. Meanwhile the cab driver wants his money for the fare. No one seems to have any money so Veta says she'll pay. Digging everything out of her handbag, she discovers her money is gone. She assures the driver that if he waits until Elwood has his injection, she'll pay him handsomely when they are driven back home. The Cab driver however has dour insights into the effects of the injection about to be administered to Elwood. He says he's given many people a ride to the sanitarium for that injection and it changes them into crabby mean people; normal but irritable and unpleasant. Elwood, the most disarming and engaging and mild mannered man in the universe, is on the verge of being turned permanently into a real nuisance, so Veta abruptly changes her mind and rushes in and prevents the injection. Dr. Chumley asks to see Elwood privately in his office where Elwood tells him tells the incredible story of how he came to meet Harvey, and explains the way in which people react when they meet them. Elwood also explains that Harvey has the power to stop time by saying: "Did I tell you he could stop clocks? Well, you've heard the expression 'His face would stop a clock'? Well, Harvey can look at
your clock and stop it. And you can go anywhere you like, with anyone you like, and stay as long as you like. And when you get back, not one minute will have ticked by. You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space, but any objections." By this point, Dr. Chumley is not only convinced of Harvey's existence, but has begun spending time with him on his own, and requests that Elwood allow Harvey to stay with him for a while and help him out by making his long-needed sabbatical a reality. Apparently this is one of the things Harvey can do if he is so inclined. Elwood asks Harvey if he will work with Chumley and tells Chumley that Harvey agrees. Dr. Sanderson pays for the cab and warms up to the nurse who has a crush on him. The entourage leaves, with the heavy-handed guard and Myrtle Mae making a date to see each other. As the sister digs in her pocketbook she discovers her money purse. She looks over her shoulder and says knowingly, "Harvey," and shakes her head. She knew Harvey existed, and was mischievous, and her only reason for wanting to have Elwood committed was that Elwood's insistence on introducing him to her guests was driving everyone away. As Elwood is leaving, Dr. Chumley asks Elwood for Harvey's help, and Elwood, being the obliging fellow he is, makes no objection. Dr. Chumley, arm in arm with an invisible companion, asks "Have you ever been to Akron?" In the final shot, after the gates to Chumley's Residence are closed, and Elwood is leaving, he stops, turns around and has a conversation with an invisible Harvey, who is already back from his trip to Akron (only a few minutes have gone by, but it was weeks due to Harvey the Pooka stopping time) and reaffirms their friendship. Harvey opens the security gate (showing only the control handles moving by themselves; Harvey is never seen on camera), and Elwood and his invisible companion saunter off towards the bus stop, following Veta and Myrtle Mae, towards the planned last stop of Charlie's Bar and another drink. “Harvey”, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, is one of Jimmy Stewart’s finest performances. The classic comedy is available on most home video formats for you to enjoy.

Appointment companions are a smart move
W
hen visiting the doctor, it is easy for anyone to miss important components of what the doctor is saying, and it’s just as easy to misunderstand certain instructions or medication information. Seniors who bring companions along to appointments with their physicians can reduce the risk of misunderstanding advice or diagnoses given by their doctors. Data from U.S. News and World Report states that about one-third of seniors still living on their own take a companion with them to their routine doctor’s office visits. Companions are typically spouses, but they can include children or other family members as well. Patients may find there are many advantages to bringing someone along to an appointment. And companions may want to learn more about patients’ goals at each appointment prior to going along so they can prepare and know how to help during the appointment.
Hearing aids that adapt to you instead of making you adapt to them.
Listen
People tend to forget at least half of what they hear in the doctor’s office, says the Archives of Internal Medicine. This tendency may be increased when patients are nervous about the potential outcome of their visits. Bringing a companion along means that both people are actively listening. Together, the information they’ve heard can combine to provide a full account of the visit.
Taking notes
Companions can jot down important notes about the appointment, such as dates and times for follow-up visits, medication advice and any other instructions that may be forgotten once the patient leaves the office. Companions can later translate the jargon-heavy language of a physician into an understandable language the patient can fully understand.

Sometimes a companion can be a useful resource, calling a doctor’s attention to a patient’s prior hospitalizations and illnesses. Companions can even call attention to any medications the patient is currently taking.
Serving as an advocate
Very often a companion can operate as a patient advocate, clarifying questions or getting further information out of a doctor if the patient is hesitant to ask. If the information isn’t clear, the companion can raise red flags or ask to have the instructions put in a different light.
Translation
Sometimes patients need companions who speak their native languages when their physicians do not. People are learning that bringing a family member or friend along to doctors’ appointments can be a smart way to make the most of doctor/ patient interactions.
WELLNESS
sharing a bed with pets
Pets provide companionship for thousands of people around the world, so it is understandable that pet owners want to be around their companion animals as much as possible — with many even welcoming them into their beds. According to PetMd, an online animal healthcare resource, around 80 percent of pet owners allow pets to share beds with human family members. Data from the American Pet Products Association has found at least half of all pet parents allow pets to sleep with them every night. Whether this is safe, healthy or wise is a matter of debate. There are pros and cons to sharing a bed with pets. Understanding those pros and cons can help pet owners make more informed decisions.
• Pro: Get into a relaxed state.
Companion animals can help relieve stress, which may translate into better sleep for their owners. Some people find that the rhythmic breathing of dogs or cats can help lull them to sleep.
• Con: Possible transmission of illness or zoonotic agents.
Snuggling so close to a pet may put people at risk of acquiring illnesses that are transmitted from animal to human. In the past, MRSA skin infections and H1N1 influenza have been transferred from pets to people.
• Pro: Pets are warm.
If the goal is to get cozy under the covers, animals can provide a little extra warmth, as their body temperatures run a few degrees warmer than their owners’.
fully develop these behaviors if allowed to sleep with humans. At the very least, it is adviseable to wait until dogs are trained and exhibiting good behavior for extended periods of time before allowing them to sleep in their owners’ beds.
• Pro: It’s a sign of trust.
According to Victoria Stilwell, an internationally renowned dog trainer, dogs only sleep with the people or dogs they trust. Therefore, dogs who like sleeping with their owners are exhibiting trust and recognizing the same from their owners. Whether or not to allow dogs or cats to share personal spaces like beds is a decision pet owners have to make. It should be based on safety, comfort and mutual agreement with any other bed partners.

• Con: An extra body in bed can disturb sleep.
Just as individuals may have trouble with a spouse or a child being in the bed next to them, pets can bring about the same disturbances. In a study from the Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center, 53 percent of those pet owners surveyed said their pets disturbed their sleep in some way each night. Dogs that snore and cats that chase “prey” around the room can disturb their owners’ sleep.
There is a reason we were chosen 2018 Daily Record Best of the Best in Five Categories!
• Pro: A deeper connection forms between pet and owner.
Many pets like to be around their owners because it gives them reassurance and comfort that they are loved. Animals that were rescued or are anxiety prone may be especially comforted by snuggling in bed with their owners. Happy pets often make for happy owners.

“The Journey of Sunshine”
Wayne Center for the Arts dancers are pursuing an intense rehearsal schedule for their spring ballet “The Journey of Sunshine.” Choreographed by artistic director Brian Murphy, the ballet will tell an inspiring story of overcoming adversity with the support of family and friends.
W
ooster High School Performing Arts Center will again serve as the host location for the spring performances on April 13, 2019.

at the 7:00 performance. With over twenty years of experience, Wayne Center Ballet Artistic Director Brian Murphy brings a high level of energy, creativity, and expertise to his role as teacher and choreographer of these young dancers. Murphy’s choreography credits include the Verb Ballet, Lakeshore Dance Theatre, and University of Akron, and he is wellestablished as a teacher of dance across the state of Ohio. In addition to teaching, Murphy has also enjoyed a remarkable performing career, appearing with such professional dance companies as NEOS Dance Theatre, Verb Ballet, the Ohio Ballet, Groundworks Dance Theatre, the San Jose Ballet, the Nashville Ballet, and Ballet Met. Murphy states the The Journey of Sunshine is a “ballet of opportunity, relationships, overcoming fear, and following the journey of life.” He encourages young dancers to make positive connections with others count. “The journey of life is spent with people daily, and with our memories of our loved ones in our heart,” Murphy says. “In the end, love overcomes all.” Murphy is dedicating the choreography in “The Journey of Sunshine” to Mel Tomlinson, a mentor, an advocate, and a friend. Tomlinson was an American dancer who performed with the New York City Ballet under the direction of George Balanchine. At the time of his debut, he was the only African-American dancer in the company. He went on to perform with prestigious
groups across the company and to teach at the Boston Conservatory of Music, Harvard University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the School at Greensboro Ballet, and Charlotte Ballet. Tomlinson passed away earlier this year. In addition to Walnut Street Ballet, Murphy will welcome the University of Akron Chamber Choir to the evening performance. Under the direction of Marie Bucoy-Calavan, the UA Chamber Choir is the premier auditioned choir at The University of Akron. This select
ensemble has recently performed at Severance Hall, The Hochschule fur Musik und Theatre in Munich, Germany, the Knight Center, and the historic First Congregational Church, among others. The choir will perform “Ad Manus” from Membra Nostri Jesu by Dietrich Buxtehude and To the Hands by Caroline Shaw as accompaniment to Walnut Street Ballet’s performance. Dance Program Coordinator Kimberly Payne is also enthusiastic about this year’s performance, stating, “The Wayne Center Ballet has continued to become a family of strong, positive dancers and I'm proud of each of them. We're looking forward to a powerful upcoming season of classical ballet." Wayne Center Ballet dancers performing principal roles in this ballet include: Alayna Green as “Sunshine,” Ashley Schroer as “Rabbit,” Hannah Arnold and Oneli Basnagala as “Cat and Mouse,” Brianna Shearer and Sammy Amier as “Ballerinas,” and Alicia Martinez as “Darkness.” Also featured will be Carter Boreman and Olivia Murray as “Jackie and Heidi,” Ivy Shearer, Emma Graziano, Brielle Burchett, and Duncan Grimes as “Family,” and Nola Holmes-Rodgers, Soren Veney, and Lillian Schultz as “Birds.” Wayne Center for the Arts is an arts non-profit in Wooster, OH, dedicated to “enriching lives and strengthening communities through art.”

Recipes Lamb is a common component of spring meals. Lamb is a go-to dish for springtime religious celebrations, most notably Easter dinners. Many cultures have their own unique takes on preparing lamb, which can be enjoyed in chops, roasts and even in stews. When Indian immigrants arrived in the Caribbean, they brought with them their rich culture, including their cuisine. One popular dish was pelau, a traditional spicy rice dish featuring meat and vegetables. While traditional Indian cuisine may use beef, chicken and even pigeon when making pelau, lamb can provide a tasty twist that remains true to the dish’s origins. Individuals interested in a new way to serve lamb can try “Lamb Pelau” from The Complete Mexican, South American and Caribbean Cookbook (Metro Books) by Jane Milton, Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli.
Lamb Pelau
Ingredients: 1 pound stewing lamb 1 tablespoon curry powder 1 onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 fresh or dried chile 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, plus extra for serving 21⁄2 cups beef stock, chicken stock, or coconut milk 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tomatoes, chopped 2 teaspoons sugar 2 tablespoons chopped scallion 21⁄2 cups basmati rice Scallion strips, to garnish
16 | Now & Then
Serves: 4
Directions: 1. Cut the lamb into cubes and place in a dish. Add the curry powder, onion, garlic, herbs, and chile, and stir well. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to marinate for 1 hour. 2. Melt the butter or margarine in a pan and fry the lamb for 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in the stock or coconut milk, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, and simmer for 35 minutes, or until tender. 3. Add the black pepper, tomatoes, sugar, chopped scallion, and rice. Stir well and reduce the heat. Make sure that the rice is covered by 1 inch of liquid; add a little water if necessary. Cover the pan; simmer the pelau for 25 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is cooked. Spoon into a serving bowl and stir in a little extra butter or margarine. Garnish with scallion strips and serve.
Recipes Pecans are a species of hickory native to northern Mexico and the southern United States. Pecan trees are cultivated for their edible nuts, and it can take 12 years for a tree to reach maturity and begin producing. The history of pecans, which are the only major tree nut that grows naturally in North America, can be traced to the 16th century. Pecans are frequently enjoyed in southern cooking, particularly in desserts. There are many different ways to incorporate pecans into recipes, such as in delicious, chewy cookie bars.

Local Blood Drive Leaders:
Develop a Passion for Saving Lives Blood donation saves 12,000 human lives a day and is one of the easiest ways people can make a positive impact on the world. For Lynne Buss and Carol Lantz it’s personal. Lynne has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and for the first two years, blood transfusions literally kept her alive, sometimes two or three bags at a time. Carol’s husband died of multiple myeloma, and during the last three years of his life received 300 units. In celebration of Tom’s life, the two women host an annual blood drive—the Tom Lantz Memorial Blood Drive-- and this year’s will be Saturday, May 4th from 9 until 2 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 777 S. Summit Street in Smithville (44677), offered through the Red Cross. Their goal is 55 units, and, in order to motivate people to donate, they encourage people to share personal stories of the life-saving nature of donating. Each year, nearly 5 million Americans need blood transfusions. According to the Red Cross, every 2 seconds someone Tom Lantz is in need of blood & only 3% of the eligible population donate. Blood helps trauma a n d burn patients, premature infants, heart surgery patients, organ transplant recipients and those fighting cancer, among others. “It’s not just for accidents and surgeries,” Lynne and Carol stress. Furthermore, one donation saves three lives. Vitalant is one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit transfusion medicine organizations. Its website offers information about the donation process and blood itself.
The donation process is easy:
1) Check in for your appointment 2) Meet with trained staff to complete health screening and questionnaire. 3) Donor Care Specialist will review results and determine the best way to donate.
18 | Now & Then
4) Relax while donor care specialist prepares materials and equipment. 5) Donor Care Specialist will then clean an area on arm and insert a sterile needle. 6) Samples of blood will be collected for testing. 7) Complete the whole blood donation until the pint bag is full. This can take up to fifteen minutes (usually ten). 8) Enjoy light refreshments to replenish fluids and nutrients. 9) Blood is typed, tested, processed and distributed. 10) Know the reward of participating in a life-saving event. It takes about an hour—from the time you arrive to the time you leave—to complete a whole blood donation. You can save time by filling out the questionnaire online. For the Tom Lantz Memorial Blood Drive go to redcrossblood.org/rapidpass.
What is blood?
—From the Vitalant website: Blood is a liquid that circulates throughout the body via a pathway of blood vessels, arteries and veins. It carries nutrients, oxygen, antibodies and other necessities of life to every cell and tissue. Blood is also the means by which waste and waste byproducts are removed from cells. The main function of blood is to act as the body’s transport system, but it also has a major role in the body’s defense against infection. Having a healthy supply of blood is important to our overall well being.
Where do blood cells come from?
Red blood cells, white cells and platelets are made in the marrow of bones, especially the vertebrae, ribs, hips, skull and sternum. These essential blood cells, suspended in plasma, fight infection, carry oxygen and help control bleeding.
What are the components of blood and what do they do?
Blood is made up of several components: red blood cells, platelets and plasma. Each of these components has a very specific and important job. Platelets – Platelets help blood clot. They are essential to support cancer therapy, open-heart surgery, blood disorder treatment and organ transplants. Plasma – Plasma carries nutrients throughout the body and is
Local Feature frequently used to help trauma and burn patients or those with clotting disorders. Red Cells – Red blood cells carry oxygen and are often used by trauma and surgery patients and those with anemia. White cells – White cells are very important to our immune system; they protect us from foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
What are the different blood types?
Blood is grouped into four types: A, B, AB and O. Each type is also classified by an Rh factor–either positive or negative. Your ABO blood grouping and Rh factor are inherited from your parents. Review the chart below to learn more about the representation in our population, the patients you’ll help and the optimal blood components you can give. If you don’t know your blood type, you’ll be told after you donate.
Minorities are especially encouraged to donate because of the rare blood types are more prevalent among them. And, “In the United States, blood donation rates of African Americans are 25-50 % of that of white individuals”(Beth M. Shaz, MD, “Minority Donation in the United States: Challenges and Needs,”Curr Opin Hematol. 2010 Nov: 17(6):544-549).
Basic Requirements for Donation
Must be at least 16 years old (16- and 17-year-olds must bring a signed permission form from a parent or guardian, if required by state or school). Weigh at least 110 pounds. Be in good general health. For your safety and to ensure a positive donation experience, make sure you eat within two hours ahead of your donation. Drink plenty of water that day and 24 to 48 hours beforehand. Have something to eat and drink afterwards. Bring your ID—something with your name and one of the following: date of birth, donor ID number or your photo. You must wait eight weeks between whole blood donations. You should not be under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs at the time of donation. If you can’t donate blood, for whatever reason, consider making a financial donation. It costs money to process and disseminate the blood. This is extremely important as well. Most of all, realize that you’re helping save a life.
