The men then went to the chicken house and took out a sack of chickens. When they returned for another sack, Beckett yelled at the men, asking what they were doing.

Joke Corner Blood Pressure Joke A doctor remarked on his patient's ruddy complexion. “I know,” the patient said. “It’s high blood pressure, it’s from my family." “Your mother’s side, or father’s side?” questioned the doctor. "Neither, my wife’s." “What?” the doctor said. “That can’t be, how can you get it from your wife’s family?” “Oh yeah?” the patient responded. “You should meet them sometime!” -www.greatcleanjokes.com

NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
W
hile this column is usually about movies, I’ve switched gears a little to take a look at several childhood stars, mostly from TV, and where they are today. Some of them crossed over into the movies and some did not. See what your favorite childhood star is up to today. Jerry Mathers: LEAVE IT TO BEAVER: He was 9 years old when the show premiered in 1957. It ended in 1963, and he later joined the Air National Guard and went to college. Now 69, Mathers is happy that he’s still being linked to the Beaver: "I can go anywhere in the world and people know me." Lauren Chapin: FATHER KNOWS BEST: The young actress beat out 78 other hopefuls for the role of 9-year-old Kathy, or “Kitten” as she was called by her dad (Robert Young). Chapin’s life since then wasn’t as cheery. Now 72, she is thrice-divorced and has done jail time and rehab for drug abuse. Keith Thibodeaux: I LOVE LUCY: The drumming prodigy, billed on the sitcom as Richard Keith, was “Little Ricky,” pint-sized sidekick to dad Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz). Thibodeaux later played in a band called David and the Giants. Now 67, he runs Ballet Magnificat!, his wife’s Christian ballet company. Rusty Hamer & Angela Cartwright: THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW: As Rusty, Hamer went joke for joke with TV dad Danny Thomas. His career later
Now & Then • 4
stalled and he committed suicide in 1990. Cartwright (who played Linda), appeared in The Sound of Music and was Penny on TV's Lost in Space. Now 64, she’s a photographer. Jay North: DENNIS THE MENACE: North was 8 when he became the impish kid who pesters neighbor Mr. Wilson (Joseph Kearns). A role in the 1966 film Maya made him a teen idol. He later joined the Navy and helped start A Minor Consideration, a nonprofit that counsels child stars. He's now 65. Butch Patrick: THE MUNSTERS: Patrick was an 11-year-old novice when he was cast as Eddie, the werewolf son of Herman and Lily Munster. He went on to a recurring role on My Three Sons. In 2010, he entered drug rehab. Now 63, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011. Lisa Loring: THE ADDAMS FAMILY: As spiderloving Wednesday Addams, Loring (with TV dad John Astin) was all pallor and deadpan delivery. She had roles in sitcoms and soaps afterward, but her life spiraled into sadness and addiction. Now 59, she makes appearances at horror conventions. Marc Copage: JULIA: A 5-year-old Copage played Corey on the groundbreaking 1969 sitcom. “He was so lovable,” Diahann Carroll once said about her TV son. More work was scarce, though. At age 55, he's now an L.A.-based singer and dancer with a Facebook page as a “social dance instructor.” Anissa Jones: FAMILY AFFAIR With her curly blonde pigtails and ever-present Mrs. Beasley doll, Jones played Buffy on the late ’60s sitcom. She didn’t act after the show went off the air in 1971. Five years later, at age 18, she died of a drug overdose. Erin Murphy: BEWITCHED: Maybe it was magic that helped Murphy avoid the troubles that befall many child stars. After playing Samantha and Darrin Stevens' spell-casting tyke Tabitha, Murphy modeled and acted in commercials. Now 53, she appears at conventions and works as a TV host. Quinn Cummings: FAMILY: Cummings (far left) was 10 when she joined the ’70s soap as Annie. But she was already accomplished: She had earned an Oscar nomination for her scene-stealing turn in 1977’s The Goodbye Girl. Now 49, she writes a popular blog — qcreport — and has written three books. Danny Bonaduce: THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY: He was a standout as Danny Partridge, the family act’s wheeler-dealer bass player. The adult Danny’s career nosedived amid bad marriages and addiction. Now
57, his troubles are a selling point, with bad-boy gigs as a radio host, reality TV star, even a wrestler. Melissa Gilbert: LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE: She won hearts as Laura Ingalls. A string of romances and struggles with substance abuse later made more news than her acting. Last year, she appeared on Dancing with the Stars. Now 53, she's married for a third time, to Emmy-winner Timothy Busfield. Gary Coleman: DIFF’RENT STROKES: Tiny, feisty Coleman played Arnold, the younger of two brothers adopted by a rich white businessman. His catchphrase (“Whatchoo talkin’ about, Willis?”) still resonates. Health and money problems plagued him after the show. He died of a brain hemorrhage in 2010 at 42. Ron Howard: THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW: Howard, now 63, is the exception that proves the rule that most child actors peak early. PostOpie, he landed another iconic TV role as Richie Cunningham on Happy Days. He has directed a
slew of hit movies and won an Oscar for 2001’s A Beautiful Mind. Johnny Crawford: THE RIFLEMAN: Crawford (born March 26, 1946) is an American character actor, singer, and musician. At age 12, Crawford rose to fame for playing Mark McCain, the son of Lucas McCain (played by Chuck Connors), in the popular ABC Western series, The Riffleman, which originally aired from 1958 to 1963. Crawford first performed before a national audience as a Mouseketeer. Today at age 71, he leads a vintage dance orchestra and makes appearances at special events and conventions.

A Visit To The National
9/11 Memorial & Museum
T
In the memorial plaza, visitors will find trees harvested from locations within a 500-mile radius of the WTC site, and additional trees coming from locations in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Visitors will also see the “Survivor Tree,” which was recovered from the rubble at the World Trade Center site in October 2001. According to The National September 11 Memorial and Museum Foundation, the museum serves as the country’s principal institution concerned with exploring the implications of the events of 9/11, documenting the impact of those events and exploring the continuing significance of September 11. The underground museum has many different artifacts from 9/11, including steel from the Twin Towers, fire trucks and debris. It houses 110,000 square feet of exhibition space and has multimedia displays, monumental collections, archives, and stories about the men, women and children who died during the attacks. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum archives the story of destruction that occurred, but also represents the hope and camaraderie that the attacks spawned.
housands of people were directly affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Millions more were glued to their televisions as they watched the news coverage of the attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and rural Pennsylvania. The former World Trade Center site was decimated by the attacks. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were part of the New York skyline for more than 40 years. The World Trade Center spanned 16 acres and opened to the public on April 4, 1973. Including the two towers that fell, World Trade Center Building 7 and many other surrounding businesses were ultimately demolished. While 2,977 people perished in the 2001 attack, many find it miraculous that so many others were able to evacuate and escape death. After the iconic towers fell, thoughts turned to the best ways to commemorate the memories of the people lost on 9/11, as well as the heroism that took place on that fateful September day. Out of the rubble came The National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Millions of people have visited the memorial, which opened to the public on September 12, 2011, and the museum, which opened on May 21, 2014. Many tourists make it a point to visit the National September 11 Memorial and Museum when traveling to New York City. The memorial portion was the first to open and includes twin reflecting pools that are each nearly an acre in size and feature the largest manmade waterfalls in North America. The pools sit within the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood. The names of every person who died in the 2011 and 1993 attacks are inscribed “Last Column” is a component of the National September into bronze panels along the edge the pools. 11 Museum.

The Physician Assistant Will See You Now
Article by BREANNE POMPEY PA-C WOOSTER ORTHOPAEDIC & SPORTS MEDICINE CENTER
A
question all too familiar, what is a physician assistant (PA) and what exactly can they do? At a glance, it is a role that is easily misunderstood. The educational model for a physician assistant is based on the fast-tracked training of physicians during World War II. At that time, there was a shortage of physicians. With an immediate need for health care providers and limited time for training, the physician assistant career was developed. A PA is trained within the medical model and completes these qualifications in a shorter period of time compared to a traditional medical degree. When the career was initially developed, PAs were only required to obtain a two year associate's degree. Today they are required to earn a four year bachelor's degree as well as master's degree in physician assistant studies. On average, physician assistant programs are 26 months (three academic
Now & Then • 10
years). Of those 26 months, the time is split between classroom education and clinical rotations. Upon graduating from an accredited program, they must pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE). After their initial certification, a PA must take the Physician Assistant National Recertifying Exam (PANRE) every ten years. Additionally they are required to complete 100 hours of continuing medical education (CME) every two years to maintain their licensure. As physician assistants, we are proficient in taking medical histories, conducting physical exams, ordering tests, interpreting results, diagnosis/treating illness, educating patients, developing treatment plans, performing procedures, prescribing medications, and doing clinical research. The level of supervision by one's supervising physician is dependent upon state rules and regulations as well as their level of experience. Evaluation and treatment by a physician assistant is covered by nearly all private payer insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE.

Wooster Native
Jack Perkins
Recalls Childhood Memories
In First Novel
Article by TAMI MOSSER THE DAILY RECORD STAFF WRITER
F
or more than a century, the Dingman’s Ferry Bridge in eastern Pennsylvania has spanned the Delaware River, operating as one of the few remaining privately owned toll bridges in
the U.S. And that bridge is now the topic of a novel authored by a Wooster native whose family owns it to this day. Jack Perkins, best known as a reporter, war correspondent, news anchor and former host of “Biography” on the A&E network, recalls the history of the bridge — as well as some nostalgic narrative on Wooster — in “God’s Bridge: A Novel of Believing,” published earlier this year and available on Amazon. It is not the first venture Perkins has made into the book world, though it is his first novel. “The bridge itself was a story that wanted to be told,” he said. Built
Now & Then • 14
117 years ago by three brothers, one of whom was Perkins’ grandfather, it spans a stretch of the Delaware where other bridges were previously washed away, either by storms or from the debris of other bridges farther up river. “It still exists and it carries about one-and-a-halfmillion people each year,” according to Perkins, and still the members of the Dingmans Choice & Delaware Bridge Co. gather each year for an annual meeting, which also serves as a family reunion. The company remains responsible for the inspection and upkeep of the bridge as well. The tale of that bridge, once called “God’s Bridge” by a local pastor, is the focal point of a partially fictional story based on a character much like Perkins himself. Like the main character, Perkins grew up in Wooster,
where he, his father and brother would make trips downtown to patronize Dick Morrison’s Barber Shop, a hub for local gossip and tale telling, then venture over to the bank on Public Square to make deposits into their savings accounts. The book also puts the family home of its main character on Overlook Drive, where the Perkins family once lived, with the late Elinor Taylor, longtime Daily Record reporter and columnist, right next door. “God’s Bridge” is not only a story of an historical bridge, but of the protagonist’s spiritual awakening and faith journey, something Perkins also knows a bit about. In Wooster, he said, his parents “went to church pro forma. And as I say (in the book), it had to be a church certain people did not go to. There’s a lot of honest family recollection there.” For Perkins, discovering his faith came later in life while he and his wife were living on a small island off the coast of Maine. Residents of Los Angeles, the couple had talked about getting out of the city to “somewhere like the Ohio we used to know.” Sent to Maine to profile then up-and-coming author Stephen King, Perkins found the area to his liking. After a career that took him to Hong Kong, Saigon, New York City and Washington, D.C., “we liked the feeling of recapturing a little of that Wooster-ness,” he said, in an area peppered with small towns amid agricultural areas. Perkins recalled telling fellow newsman David Brinkley about his plans to relocate and live closer to nature. Brinkley responded, “You lucky bastard, I’d love to do that, but my wife would not have anything to do with it.” While on the island, Perkins said he took up photography and “accepted that nature was the tool God used to create the beauty around us.” From that came the memoir, “Finding Moosewood: Finding God.” He also has produced “Marveling” and “Island Prayers,” books of photographs and poems, as well as “Nature of God” and “HomeWords.” Perkins, who now lives with his wife in Florida, said he doesn’t get back to Wooster too often, though he did return for the 50-year class reunion of the Wooster High School class of 1951. “That was fascinating,” he said. “I’m glad we were wearing name tags.” It’s not that he’s completely removed from Wooster, though. Perkins still occasionally sees friends from his old hometown who also live in or are visitors to

Florida. “It’s interesting,” he said, “how some of us come out with completely separate memories of the same days, same times.” Reporter Tami Mosser can be reached at tmosser@ the-daily-record.com or 330-287-1655.

amily history and race are two significant risk factors for prostate cancer. While the Prostate Cancer Foundation notes that nearly 60 percent of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65, making age the single greatest risk factor for prostate cancer, men with family histories of the disease and/or those of a certain race must recognize that their vulnerability to the disease is greater than others’, even if they are nowhere near retirement age. According to the PCF, African American men are 73 percent more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to Caucasian men. African American men are also 2.4 times more likely to die from the disease than Caucasian men, which only serves to emphasize the importance that African American men must place on discussing prostate cancer and prostate cancer screenings with their physicians. Men with a relative who has developed prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease than those without such family histories. That risk is even greater among men with more than one relative who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The PCF notes that men with two or more relatives who have had prostate cancer are nearly four times as likely to be diagnosed with the disease than those without such a link. Men whose relatives were diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65 have an even higher risk of getting the disease than men whose relatives were diagnosed after turning 65. But men should also be mindful of their family histories with other cancers, as men may be at a greater risk of getting prostate cancer if their families have a history of breast cancer, colon cancer or pancreatic cancer.
