Country Club Retirement Campus has a history of quality care ASHTABULA - Since 1974, the Country Club Retirement Campus at Ashtabula has provided quality care for area seniors and those in need of rehabilitation services. “Country Club Retirement Campus at Ashtabula is a senior healthcare community, offering service-enhanced independent and assisted living apartments [and] assisted living suites when more care is needed,” Julie Hunt, marketing director of the campus, said. A wide variety of care is offered to residents all in one convenient and comfortable place. “We provide private rehabilitation suites offering individually designed therapy,” Hunt said. Country Club Retirement Campus also is proud of the many programs they offer their residents. For Nursing Home Awareness Week, a balloon launch was held on the campus with hundreds of balloons being released by residents and staff alike. The campus encourages growth with both residents and their staff and feels it is a place many can call home. “Programs and a wide range of skilled nursing services are available,” Hunt said.
The campus is proud to also provide quality service to families and understands talking about permanent housing arrangements is not always an easy subject to discuss. “County Club Retirement Campus has enhanced the lives of seniors and their families through superior personal care and progressive living concepts,” Hunt said. Country Club Retirement Campus invites those interested to make an appointment to come in and check out the facility. “Country Club is family owned and its campus offers a complete continuum of care under one roof, so our residents can rest easy knowing that we can meet all their needs without ever moving again,” Hunt said. The campus has gained a reputation for quality care and is a proud member of the Ashtabula community. “We are the only true continuum of care facility in Ashtabula County,” Hunt said. “We offer apartments, assisted living, long-term care, skilled rehabilitation and home healthcare.” Choosing the campus means spacious rooms, a fully equipped exercise gym, computers with Internet access, a garden

Dominion East Ohio offers gas choice Dominion East Ohio provides safe, reliable natural gas service to more than 1.2 million residential, commercial and industrial customers in 400 eastern and western Ohio communities. Dominion East Ohio, based in Cleveland, is the largest natural gas distribution subsidiary of Do- minion Resources, headquartered in Richmond, Va. Since its 1898 founding as East Ohio Gas, part of John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Co., the company has grown to serve the Ashtabula, Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Lima, Marietta, New Philadelphia, Warren, Wooster and Youngstown areas. In 1943, Standard Oil of New Jersey spun off its natural gas properties into Pittsburgh-based Consolidated Natural Gas (CNG). In February 2000, the company joined Dominion Resources of Richmond, Va., the nation’s largest fully integrated natural gas and electric power company, with the completion of Dominion’s merger with CNG. On Sept. 3, 2000, the company retired the East Ohio Gas name, exchanging it for Dominion East Ohio, reflecting its new corporate identity as Dominion’s largest natural gas distribution company. That same month, the company expanded its Energy Choice p r o g r a m systemwide to al-
low customers to buy natural gas commodities from the participating marketer of their choice, while allowing Dominion East Ohio to transport the gas to their homes or businesses. Dominion East Ohio operates 19,000 miles of natural gas transmission, distribution and gathering lines in a service territory covering more than 4,700 square miles. About 70 percent of the company’s 1.2 mil- lion customers have opted to purchase natural gas supplies from a different supplier. Dominion operates one of the nation’s largest customer choice programs. Dominion East Ohio purchases natural gas from a diverse source of suppliers, including lo- cal Ohio producers and several interstate pipe- lines. This diverse supply base enables Dominion East Ohio to provide customers highly reliable natural gas supplies at competitive prices year-round. The company also operates one of the largest natural gas storage systems in the United States, enabling Dominion East Ohio to buy gas during warm weather months, when prices historically are lower. The company stores this gas until it is needed in the winter, passing along savings to customers. Dominion East Ohio also works to strengthen the economic climate of the communities it serves by working with government, community and business groups to help attract new industry and jobs. Dominion East Ohio’s local office is at 7001 Center Road, Saybrook Township. The telephone number is 1-800-3627557.

Ashtabula County Arthritis Expo slated for Aug. 29 in Geneva GENEVA - The Arthritis Foundation, Great Lakes Region, Northeastern Ohio local office is hosting with several local hospitals a free program on Wednesday, Aug. 29, to help people with all types of arthritis related health issues. It will be held at the SPIRE Institute (formerly the GaREAT Complex), 1822 Broadway St., Geneva, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., said Maribeth Doran Curry, vice president for programs with the Northeastern Ohio chapter. The local special program by the NEO chapter is cosponsored with University Hospitals Conneaut Medical Center and UH Geneva
Medical Center. There will be speakers on rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder arthritis treatment options, knee and hip treatment options and a general update on rheumatoid arthritis, with community exhibits, free education information and lots of door prizes available for the public attending. There is an optional buffet lunch available for $5 per person. When it comes to aches and pains of life, it is nice to know some- one is there to help you along. While some think it is just an inconvenience, the Arthritis Foundation knows it is not. There are more than 100 forms of arthritis, and about a million and a half residents who
suffer from some form of arthritis. Arthritis can take many forms and is a common form of disability for many people in the country. The Arthritis Foundation is very active in Ashtabula County and supported by United Way of Ashtabula County, Curry said. Arthritis costs the U.S. economy more than $128 billion annually in lost wages, productivity and medical costs. It affects nearly 300,000 children, and today more people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are being diagnosed with arthritis. The foundation con- ducts regular educational program at both UH Medical centers
in Ashtabula County. There are exercise classes and programs, as well as aquatic (water) classes persons can participate in. Early diagnosis is one of the keys to controlling progression of the disease. People need to take an active role in man- aging their arthritis re- lated health issues. The Arthritis Foundation offers up to date information through Arthritis Answers help-line, free educational brochures and forums like the Expo coming up Aug. 29. Last year nearly 55,000 people in the 22-county Northeastern Ohio Chapter service area participated in AF programs or utilized the
services. Pre-registration is requested by Aug. 22 for the Geneva special Expo by calling 800- 245-2275, ext. 193. Early diagnosis and treatment are two keys to controlling the dis- ease progression. Call early to reg-
ister for the free public information program on Aug. 29. The Great Lakes Region, Northeastern Ohio office of the Arthritis Foundation is located at 4630 Richmond Rd., Suite 240, Cleveland, OH 44128.
Painesville Dental Group meets all dental needs JEFFERSON - Dentistry these days means more than having teeth cleaned, cavities filled, and teeth extracted. Cosmetic dentistry is growing by leaps and bounds. All dental needs may be met by the Painesville Dental Group, whose slogan is, “gentle and confident touch.” The Painesville Dental Group prides itself on cutting edge practices, technology, and — most important — friendly, home-town, oneon-one care. The 40-year-old practice has a staff of 26, including six dentists, with locations in Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties.
In Jefferson, Painesville Dental Group is located at 78 N. Chestnut Street (Route 46 N). The Jefferson staff includes Christopher R.E. Phillips, DDS from Case Western Reserve University; and Casey Hammond, DDS from The Ohio State University. Both are affiliated with the Northeast Ohio Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association and the American Dental Association. Painesville Dental serves the entire family. Services include crowns, or caps that are put on teeth that have lost part of their structure; teeth whitening, including the use of veneers and lami-
nates to restore natural tooth color after a lifetime of drink- ing coffee, tea, colas, spicy foods, etc.; dental implants, the newest alternative to replacing missing teeth; and root canal treatment and re-treatment, when an initial root canal fails. Root canal is treatment of the third, and deepest, layer of a tooth, underneath the enamel and dentin layers. In terms of teeth whitening, a newer, popular treatment involves the use of veneers or laminates, a thin shell of porcelain or resin bonded to the surface of the teeth to change their shape, shade and position. This improves the cosmetics of your teeth and smile, and/or replaces and restores the lost tooth structure where indicated. Painesville Dental also works on inlays and onlays, which are lab-made restorations placed on teeth when a cavity or lost tooth structure is too large to be restored by a simple filling.
The process of making an inlay is similar to that of a crown. Another area of expertise is problems caused by “TMJ,” or temporo-mandibular joint. This joint, which connects the lower and upper jaw of the skull, is one of the most complicated in the body, and when out of alignment, can cause painful problems. The Painesville Dental Group also applies teeth sealants. Sealants are thin layers of resin that are applied to the pits, fissures and grooves of mo- lars to prevent decay on these surfaces. Sealants are considered
important because the majority of tooth decay begins on the grooves and pits of chewing surfaces on the back teeth, especially the first few years after teeth erupt. Sealing the surfaces with composite resins helps prevent these kinds of decay. Sealants will not necessarily prevent all tooth decay, however, be- cause decay may also happen on surfaces be- tween the teeth. The importance of regular brushing and flossing cannot be overlooked. Painesville Dental Group believes that educating patients is as important as treating them. Answers
to questions about treatment and other dental concerns are available on Painesville Dental Group’s web site, www.painesvilledentalgroup.com. “One thing that has separated us from the others is our emphasis on educating our patients about their treatment options and oral health issues,” the web site states. Painesville Dental Group’s Jefferson office hours are 8:40 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. most Saturdays. New patients are being accepted. Call for an appointment at (440) 576-7040.

Hospice of the Western Reserve celebrating 30 years in Ashtabula County spend an hour driving into the area every day. “What sets us apart from our competition is that we have been providing exceptional care for 30 years, and we are providing services that other hospices are not,” said Community Facilities Coordinator Mary Pepperney. Those services include art and music therapy, massage therapy, and a week-long local children’s bereavement summer day camp. Hospice of the Western Reserve also works with the schools. These services are in keeping with HWR’s mission statement: “We strive to relieve suffering, enhance comfort, promote qualify of life, foster choice in end-oflife care and support effective grieving.” The word “hospice” comes from the word stemming from “hospitality.” Hospices emphasize assisting and guiding patients and families through the physical and emotional changes that occur at the end-of-life process. Calling hospice does not necessarily mean that a patient is near death Families and patients have choices in hospice care, even if it takes place in nursing homes. Patients have the freedom to seek hospice care, go off that care if their conditions improve, and re-enter the program when circumstances This Memory Box was created by family members during warrant. But families are urged to a bereavement workshop, a service offered by Hospice call soon enough to benefit of the Western Reserve. ASHTABULA - Sitting atop the reception desk inside the front door of Hospice of the Western Reserve office at 1166 Lake Avenue, Ashtabula, is a framed quotation by Albert Schweitzer: “Here at whatever hour you come, you will find light and help and human kindness.” Those words sum up the philosophy of the Ashtabula County branch of Hospice of the Western Reserve. Founded in 1982 as Hospice of Ashtabula County, the hospice was later acquired by the five-county Hospice of the Western Reserve (HWR), which has served Northeast Ohio since 1978. This year, HWR’s Ashtabula office is celebrat-
ing 30 years of serving the county and nine years at its Lake Avenue location. HWR’s mission is simple. It offers palliative end-of-life assistance to patients and their families throughout Northeastern Ohio, including caregiver support and bereavement services. One of its newest programs, “Peaceful and Proud,” serves veterans. It also offers programs to families facing the birth of a child with a life-threatening illness. Hospice of the Western Reserve in Ashtabula is staffed by 65 local residents serving local patients. They and the office’s 140 volunteers consider themselves “neighbors serving neighbors” who do not have to
Hospice of the Western Reserve is located at 1166 Lake Avenue, Ashtabula. Call 24 hours a day at 1-800-665-2619. from all Hospice services. Hospice of the Western Reserve offers three levels of care. The first, “palliative,” offers comfort for patients who may or may not be undergoing curative treatment. The second, “navigator,” is provided for up to two years to patients who improve and no longer need hospice, but who want to maintain a connection and who benefit from volunteers’ and social workers’ helping them find community resources such as Adult Day Care and Meals on Wheels. The third level, “bereavement services,” is offered to families up to 13 months after a loved one has died and up to 24 months after a child has died. Hospice offers 13 months of “bereavement services” to help families through all major holidays, the loved one’s birthday and death date.
Hospice community services are offered to anyone who is grieving or has grieved, regardless of whether the family used Hospice of the Western Reserve. These services include support groups, counseling and educational services, and seasonal programs such as holiday workshops where families create a Christmas tree ornament or decorate a memory box in which to keep mementoes of the deceased. Another new addition that promotes healing is found on the Hospice of the Western Reserve web site, www.hospicewr.org. The blog, “Soul’s Journey: Stories from the Heart of Hospice,” welcomes submissions from those touched by hospice care. The best part of Hospice of the Western Reserve is that all who request services receive them, regardless of
ability to pay. Though clients are billed for the services used, Hospice of the Western Reserve is Medicare/Medicaid certified and covered by most insurance plans. HWR’s financial service department works out a price and a payment schedule that fits. No one is denied services. Hospice of the Western Reserve office is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays, but its staff of physicians, nurses and nurses’ assistants, massage therapists, social workers, counselors, spiritual care coordinators, expressive therapists and bereavement coordinators is on call 24 hours a day. The 24-hour toll-free number is 1-800-665-2619. Reach Hospice of the Western Reserve’s Ashtabula office, 1166 Lake Avenue, at (440) 997-6619 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
Conneaut Foot & Ankle Center is area’s most inclusive Podiatric Diagnostic office CONNEAUT Conneaut’s Foot and Ankle Center, located at 167-B West Main Road across the street from UH-Conneaut Medical Center, is one of three Podiatry Associate Centers in the tri-state area of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. This office, under the direction of Dr. Richard DiBacco, is not only the most experienced regional practice for the treatment of foot and ankle problems, but the most inclusive podiatric diagnostic office. Its slogan is, “Experience and technology. It all comes together at the Foot & Ankle Center.” The Foot & Ankle Center’s advanced technological components provide patients diverse options of both surgical and non-surgical interventions to diagnose and address painful foot and ankle problems.
In the words of DiBacco, “The foot is our priority.” From basic care to the most advanced reconstructive foot or ankle surgery, the Foot & Ankle Center offers treatment to help patients with foot and ankle pain; foot deformities such as bunions, hammertoes, arch disorders; fractures and sprains; infections and wound care; and walking imbalances. The Center also provides the most complete on-site diagnostic equipment including: - X-ray to determine fractures or bone misalignment - Ultrasound to identify tendon tears, neuromas or stress fractures - Nerve conduction to evaluate numbness and spasms - Vascular analysis to assess and record blood flow New this year is the QClear laser technology for
the treatment of fungus nails. This mid-infrared wave-length applied topically penetrates the nail bed to eliminate destructive infections and revitalizes clear, healthy growth of the nail. The Center offers alternate treatments for heel pain or plantar fasciitis. One option is shock wave therapy or topaz/laser treatment. Minimal incision arthroscopic and endoscopic out-patient procedures are also available. Patients with diabetes or neuropathy benefit from regular podiatric care since the foot is often the first point of entry for infection. The MicroVas Stimulation Unit at the Foot and Ankle Center offers one means of maintaining circulation for these patients. Key to the success of the Foot & Ankle Center is the philosophy and direction of

Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgeons, a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery and the American Academy of Sports Medicine, DiBacco in 2010 was appointed by former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell to serve on the Pennsylvania State Board of Podiatry. He recently joined the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine Board of Directors.

Ashtabula Regional Home Health cares for you ASHTABULA COUNTY Ashtabula Regional Home Health’s goal is to provide the very best care it can to residents of Ashtabula County. “We’re trying to help keep people in their homes as long as possible,” said Kerry Gerken, Ashtabula Regional Home Health chief executive officer (CEO). Gerken said Karen Chech is the new private duty supervisor, overseeing the long-term care services Ashtabula Regional Home Health provides. “The fastest growing population is those over 85 years old. More and more elderly people are living longer and the need for longterm care continues to grow,” Gerken said. The agency’s CEO said that Medicare is going to be a short-term benefit in relation to long-term care. Gerken outlined several other possible long-term care solutions when Medicare is no longer an option. “There are long-term care insurance plans, self pay, the Veterans Administration has a long-term care component, Title XX services, Area Agency on Aging services and the (Ashtabula County) Senior Levy. We also get some support from the United Way for those services,” she said. Information is just a phone call away. “People can call Ashtabula Regional Home Health to see what they qualify for. It is amazing to me that I run into people

They can talk to the people here. They are very knowledgeable,” Gerken said. The telephone number at Ashtabula Regional Home Health is (440) 992-4663. The agency receives many calls and visits many homes throughout the year. “A nurse will go out to the home and assess the situa-
tion there. We will give them information on other services if it looks like the person would not qualify for our services. We will refer them to other agencies that may be able to help. Not everyone can stay at home,” Gerken said. Ashtabula Regional Home Health is a Medicare/ Medicaid certified home health agency affiliated with
ACMC Health Systems. Seventy-five people are employed at the agency. It began in 1974 as a community based agency with United Way support and has been in the ACMC family since 1985. Ashtabula Regional Home Health is located at 3949 Jefferson Road and the telephone number again is (440) 992-4663.

Austinburg Veterinary Clinic nationally recognized as one of the top five veterinary practices AUSTINBURG TOWNSHIP - Austinburg Veterinary Clinic is nationally recognized by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) as one of the Top 5 Veterinary Practices throughout all of the United States and Canada in 2012. Austinburg Veterinary Clinic continues to set the standard in patient care and client service. As a leader of veterinary medicine in Ashtabula County, Austinburg Veterinary Clinic is always looking for the latest technology to provide the best patient care. The veterinarians at Austinburg recognized long ago that it wasn’t simply good enough to offer the highest quality medicine, but the most thorough and most efficient as well. They understand that pinpointing your pet’s problem quickly allows for faster and often less expensive treatment. When your pet is sick, hours can make all the difference. Their highly trained staff and services such as a full in-house laboratory, glaucoma screening and digital x-ray make this possible. The doctors and staff at Austinburg Veterinary Clinic understand that unexpected accidents or illnesses can be costly. That is why they set out to make this amazing technology affordable so that your furry family members can have access to quality medicine. They want their clients to be able to make decisions from their heart and not their pocketbook. In order to do just that, they accept PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance, as well as other pet health insurances. PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance allows you to focus on what is best for the health of your pet, with fewer worries about cost. You can choose your annual deductible to fit into your budget. You can also choose your copay amount. Up to 80 percent of eligible expenses are reim-
bursed to you promptly. This pet insurance is AAHA approved, and offers multiple pet discounts. It even covers acupuncture and therapy laser sessions which are offered at Austinburg Veterinary Clinic. Austinburg Veterinary Clinic can also help you budget in your pet’s wellness care. They have been offering a variety of Wellness Plans for over 10 years that spread out your pet’s care into 12 affordable monthly payments. Regular visits to your veterinarian are crucial for monitoring your pet’s health – it is how your pet gets necessary vaccinations, screenings and treatment. It is also how your veterinarian can identify potential problems before they become serious and more costly to treat. Preventive care helps your pet live a longer, happier and healthier life.

The Chalk Box: Where every child is a champion ASHTABULA - At the Chalk Box, every child is a champion. The Chalk Box has a proven history of success, as just this season alone, owner Cathy Speelman said Chalk Box competitors have received more than 600 scores of 9.0 or better in Amateur Athletic Union competitions throughout northeast Ohio. The Chalk Box, located at 5521 Main Ave. in Ashtabula, offers gymnastics classes for youth ages two and up and fitness and aerobic classes for adults. The Chalk Box also offers tumbling skills classes, Tae Kwon Do, competitive team opportunities, plus an arthritis class for senior citizens or people with limited mobility. It’s not just about winning at the Chalk Box. The 35-member staff at the Chalk Box is dedicated to improving self-esteem and coordination in children and adults. “While we don’t believe that a child must become a champion gymnast to benefit from our facility, we are proud that we have trained some excellent gymnasts in our years here,” Speelman said. “‘Every child is a champion’ is the motto we have used for years, and we strive to make every child successful.” The Chalk Box was founded in December 1980 by Beverly Windle to provide a caring atmosphere for the instruction of children and adults. Chalk Box has touched the lives of more than 150,000 children in its
years of business, with more than 500 children entering its doors for classes each week. “We appreciate the support the community has shown over the years,” Speelman said. Programs at the Chalk Box begin with children as young as two years old - no “potty training” necessary. The Chalk Box also offers classes for children ages three to five. Once the children are in grade school, they are separated by gender because of the different events they must learn. “If an older child does not have an interest in working on the equipment, we offer a class devoted strictly to tumbling,” Speelman said. For youth interested in competitive gymnastics, the Chalk Box offers team opportunities for boys and girls. The Chalk Box currently has 81 competitive gymnasts who range in age from six to 17. “We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio so that each child receives personal attention and they don’t have to wait forever for their turn,” Speelman said. “Our teachers have been specifically trained to instruct the sport, including spotting and safety.” The Chalk Box also offers a fitness program open to anyone of junior high age and up. A variety of times and class formats are offered. “The Chalk Box has always been concerned about the ‘child’ or ‘adult’ as an in-

We know our families and consider the Chalk Box as an ‘extended family’ for class members and staff as well,” Speelman said. Additionally, the Chalk Box holds Tae Kwon Do classes and a stability-ball toning class taught by Master Craig Clinton (an inter-
nationally ranked Master instructor). Clinton also teaches KickFit classes, a non-impact workout, two nights a week. “Our gymnastics, Tae Kwon Do and aerobics instruction is top notch,” Speelman said.
In January, the Chalk Box added Zumba classes taught by certified instructors. The addition was made based on its popularity in the community, as the Chalk Box strives to listen to what programs the community wants. Gift certificates to the Chalk Box are available for
merchandise or classes. Merchandise includes gym apparel, simple gym equipment, ice packs, wraps and more. For more information on classes, contact the Chalk Box at (440) 992-9619 or visit the website at www.chalkboxgymnastics.com.

Petros Design is new specialty art etching business in Jefferson JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP - Petros Design is an art etching business started about four years ago by owner Kathy Housel. It is located in the Housel Construction Co. building at 942 state Route 46, north of Jefferson Village. “I decided to get into laser etching of stone, wood, glass and other materials as a sideline business to our main construction company. We bought this machine three years ago, then my son
Michael and I went to Boston to learn how to do the designs on most any material. We can either take a photograph of the design a customer wants or they can bring the digital photo in for us to use,” Kathy Housel said. The designs can be etched primarily on stone, wood, glass, acrylic or even metals like knives, which are oxidized. The owner and her two sons, Michael and Tom, help out with the design
work on a part-time basis. The trio come up with a lot of unique etched gift items for customers, which is a new field they are now offering. “We can do pens, cutting boards, plates, and other items by personalizing a design for our customers. We do have a display next to our mini-storage building in the Petros Design store part. We’ve been able to specially de- sign pieces as large as 36 inches and 24 inches, like for
a half glass in a window or door,” she said. Housel said they also can do special home flooring designs, plaques and easels for a customer. The store is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, and most afternoons. Housel suggests calling ahead for an appointment to (440) 576-7625 or

Country Doctor and Geneva Veterinary Clinics devoted to helping animals GENEVA/JEFFERSON Dr. Charles Curie, the owner and founder of Country Doctor and Geneva Veterinary Clinics, established his practice in 1978. Dr. Curie is a Jefferson native and has devoted his life to helping the animals in his home area of Ashtabula County. “Our biggest asset to the community is our staff and doctors who are very committed to the animals and the people who own them. These people are the best in the business. We are truly where Science and Soul blend!” says Dr. Curie. What he means by this is that they really understand a very basic concept of veterinary medicine. Curie states, “We must first connect with the people who own and care for the animals before we will ever get a chance to help the patient. Our staff and doctors listen carefully to the client’s needs and concerns to better understand the health issues at hand. Visits are never rushed. We schedule plenty of time at each visit so we can build this relationship.” In many cases, the doctor has the easy job of dealing with the science part of the relationship. In other words, it is often quickly apparent what the health problem is and what the treatment should be. What sets the Country Doctor and Geneva Vet Clinics apart from others is that they incorporate the client into the discussion and decision making process. “We believe that the client must be the health care team captain. They are the
ones on the front line and all of the treatment and financial responsibilities fall to them. We listen carefully to their concerns about costs, quality of life issues, potential difficulties with prescribed treatments and anything else on their mind. This is all taken into consideration when developing a diagnostic and treatment plan,” he said. That is the part where we blend Science with Soul, says Dr. Curie. The doctors and staff at both clinics make every effort to talk to, not at people and treat everyone with courtesy and respect. No one understands a lot of “doctor talk” and these doctors understand that. They will put everything they say in plain terms and discuss things until the client understands all their options. “I have been thanked by so many clients over the years for taking the time to explain things to them in terms they can understand. Every day someone tells me that they received more information in one visit to our clinics than they had received in their entire life time at others,” Curie said. We are teachers, says Curie. “That is what sets us apart,” he said. The Geneva and Country Doctor Veterinary Clinics are “your other family doctor,” your pets’ doctor. Dr. Curie says, “We focus on general medicine and surgery and we are proud of our no nonsense approach to health care. We’ll tell you what we know and tell you what we don’t know. We are
brutally honest. No one knows everything. In the latter case we will do everything in our power to diagnose the problem through testing. Sometimes we just can’t know precisely what is wrong until the tests are completed. Some cases need to see a specialist and we quickly offer referral for those.” How much or how little is done is entirely up to the client. “We never paint anyone into a corner. Clients know and understand all their options. This again is the blend of Science and Soul,” he said. Since establishment in 1978, the unwavering focus
has been prevention of disease. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, says Dr. Curie. “Thirty-five years of practice has proven this to be true on a daily basis. Those animals which receive good preventative care through a proactive approach by the owner and veterinarian absolutely live longer and have a much better quality of life,” he said. Of course, the doctors at both clinics treat sick animals but their hope is to minimize sickness in their patients by focusing on prevention. Regular checkups, vaccinations, good nutrition, parasite control, maintaining dental health and a safe environment
go a long way in improving the quality and quantity of life. It’s simple, says Dr. Curie. “Just do the basics. This will greatly increase the odds that your pets will live long happy lives,” he said. It is also much more economical to prevent illness. People who think that vaccines or heartworm prevention is expensive, find out what a deal it would have been when they pay for treating one of the diseases that vaccine or heartworm pill would have prevented. It can be a difference of thousands of dollars! Dr. Curie points out that at the end of the day, all veterinary clinics offer the same services and do the same things.
It is just that some do it better than others. He believes that no one does it better than the doctors and staff at the Geneva and Country Doctor Veterinary Clinics. In fact, they have been nationally recognized for outstanding client communication skills which have resulted in better care for animals. Furthermore, they are considered one of the top 100 best managed practices in the United States and are part of an annual study of veterinary practice management. This is reflected in the client service and patient care they give. For more info, call Country Doctor at 576-9440 or Geneva Veterinary Clinic at (440) 361-4363.

Jefferson Veterinary Clinic, the country doctor you’ve come to trust JEFFERSON - Dr. Kendra Hanneman, owner of Jefferson Veterinary Clinic, will take care of your pet as if it were her own. Dr. Hanneman, who purchased the practice from Dr. William Lake upon his retirement, is a small animal veterinarian dedicated to providing the best care of pets throughout Ashtabula County and beyond. “I have clients from counties outside Ashtabula County. They are much more than clients. My clients become friends,” Dr. Hanneman said. Since becoming the owner of Jefferson Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Hanneman has made some changes that help her in treating small animals brought to her. “I am getting modern equipment. I have an autoclave to sterilize the instruments. I’ve got a surgical suite now with state-of-theart monitor. The monitor does the EKG and measures the oxygen concentration during surgery of the animal. It also monitors the animal under anesthesia, its blood pressure, heart rate and respiration (breathing). I also have state-of-the art dental equipment,” Dr. Hanneman said. A brand new stainless steel surgical table is in the suite. Another benefit to clients is the office is totally electronic. “It’s paperless. All the
records are on the computer. We back it up everyday so we don’t lose any records,” she said. Another new piece of equipment is the anesthetic machine, which delivers anesthetic to the animal. “The granddaddy of my new equipment is a fully digital X-ray machine. There is no film and no cassettes. You put the animal on the table. The camera is under the table. The X-ray comes down from the top. The camera captures the image, digitizes it and sends it electronically to the computer. I have the image in two seconds,” she said. The Jefferson Veterinary Clinic is fully staffed. “We have two young women who volunteer. One wants to get into veterinary medicine. The other woman is from India and is trying to get her vet license,” Hanneman said. The doctor said she is typically booked two weeks in advance. “Exams are appointment, preferably. I still do walkins,” she said. Most of the blood work done at Jefferson Veterinary Clinic is sent out to a lab. “We do perform heartworm testing and feline leukemia and AIDS testing here. These are small blood tests,” Hanneman said. With the way the weather has been of late, she has been selling a lot of flea and tick products.

Businesses started off as Mom and Pop type places, then Big Box-type stores wooed customers away with cheap prices,” she
said. Now, people don’t want the automated checkouts and no one around to offer assistance. Kim said people like a personal touch. They enjoy getting to know the person who is working with their eye-glasses, and knowing that a friendly smile is waiting when they come back. People want to know they will be remembered. At Glasses to You, you will receive personal attention from an optician that knows you and becomes your friend and not just an employee. She said other busi-
nesses should take that lesson to heart and set up shop on Main Avenue. Kim said that in the past they were big 4-H’ers with saddle horses and draft horses. Although Kim and her family won’t be at the fair with their horses this year, they wish everyone a great week. Glasses to You is located at 4423 Main Avenue in Ashtabula. Parking out back makes it convenient to visit the store. For more information or to learn about what insurance Glasses to You accepts, call (440) 9984720.

Sanctuary of Geneva ranks high in resident satisfaction Ten-year anniversary to be celebrated Sept. 16 GENEVA - The Sanctuary of Geneva will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with a community open house from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16. The event will feature an open house, entertainment, food and vendors. Residents, their families and community members are invited to the free event, Administrator Melissa Schroeder said. “We’re expecting a lot of families whose loved ones aren’t with us any longer to come back and celebrate with us,” Schroeder said. The Sanctuary of Geneva has a lot to celebrate, as the facility prides itself on its employees and their hard work, as the employees are the ones caring for the residents day in and day out. “One of the things that makes a health-care facility successful is the staff,” Schroeder said. “I am so proud of the employees at the Sanctuary and the loving care that they provide.” Of the 28 employees at Sanctuary of Geneva, there are 10 staff members who have been at the facility for longer than five years. These staff members include Schroeder, managing general partner Bill Douglass, Valerie Markgraf, Bobbie Tramte, Jo Ann Mack, Mary Burch, Kellie Johnson, Carol Lemasters, Janila Sespico and Diane Samnik. “It’s important to have a consistent group of staff members who embrace the mission and philosophy of the Sanctuary to provide the

best care possible,” Schroeder said. “I have families tell me all the time how great the staff is, and how much they love them all. That speaks to the relationships that we build here, with our residents, our families and each other.” Residents have praised the facility for the care they receive. According to the results of a Resident Satisfaction Survey for nursing homes and residential care facilities conducted through the Ohio Department of Aging, the Sanctuary of Geneva ranks high in resident satisfaction. On the most recent survey, 100 percent of residents answered yes to the questions of “Do the employees treat you with respect,” “Do you like living here?” and “Would you recommend the facility to a family member of friend?” “The residents are happy,” Schroeder said. The employees are happy, too. “As an administrator, I always try to be fair and re-
spectful to my staff. I know that employees who are happy and respected will always give the best services to Sanctuary residents,” Schroeder said. “It’s easy to be the boss this group of staff because they’re all such wonderful people.” Employee Diane Samnik said that in all the years she’s worked at the Sanctuary, there has never been a day that she didn’t want to come to work. She’s proud to be an employee at the Sanctuary. “When I’m out in the community and I hear people say, ‘I hear that the Sanctuary is a wonderful place,’ I feel so proud to work here. I’ve never been so proud to honestly say that it is a topnotch facility,” employee Cindi Butler said. The Sanctuary of Geneva, located at 200 Commerce Place in Geneva, is locally owned and operated, with managing general partner Bill Douglass on site daily. “We are not part of a larger corporation and have a dedication and loyalty to
our local communities,” Schroeder said. “There’s a great commitment to the community.” At the Sanctuary, their mission is to maintain standards of excellence in the quality of care for their residents, while preserving both their dignity and their privacy. By fostering independence as well as providing for each individual’s needs, they believe this contributes to a positive sense of wellbeing and self esteem. “Our philosophy is to treat them individually,” Schroeder said. “Our mission and goal is to provide the best care possible.” Some of the assisted living services and amenities at the Sanctuary include: private or companion suite and use of common areas; basic utilities, except personal telephone service; three well-balanced, nutritious meals served restaurant style daily and snacks; accommodation of special diets; weekly housekeeping and daily trash removal; flat linen and personal laundry
services; 24-hour nursing staff, including medication administration; and assistance with activities of daily living. Other amenities offered include: social, educational and recreational programs; scheduled transportation; private dining room for family and guests; 24-hour emergency call system with voice activation in each suite; fully fire-resistant construction with sprinkler system; individual heating and air conditioning controls; and complete maintenance of building and grounds. During the open house, guests also will be able to view the most recent expansion at the Sanctuary, which includes a remodeled, outdoor courtyard that includes a garden area, walking paths and gazebo. “We’ve really developed the area for the residents,” Schroeder said.

Before opening True Sound Hearing Services, Chris and Cathy were both working for other companies. Chris was traveling and representing NuEar, helping host open houses for them. He decided he didn’t want to do that anymore, so we decided to open our own company, FasanoChmielewski said. As of right now, Chris and Cathy are the only employees at True Sound Hearing Services. True Sound Hearing Services is the area’s only authorized NuEar dealer. They are able to program, clean and check any NuEar hearing instrument free of charge.

I was having trouble understanding women’s voices and children’s were nearly impossible. I called Chris at True Sound Hearing Services and he fit me with NuEar Imagine hearing aids, which have tremendously improved my hearing and reduced the ‘annoyance factor’ for me and everyone around me, since I’m not constantly asking, ‘What?’” customer Gretchen Reed said. “Chris and Cathy operate their hearing center with integrity, professionalism, empathy toward their clients and superb knowledge of hearing care.” People are welcome to call True Sound Hearing Services and schedule an appointment for a hearing exam.
