Nursing Home patient Mary

Ricciardi and WPXI TV Anchor

Peggy Finnegan. See story

on page 7.

Just before Faith & Work went to print, Mary Ricciardi died. Our thoughts and sympathies are with her family.

About 116 years ago, St. Barnabas started to find space for

those in need. First, the Free Nursing Home. Then, the

Medical Center and The Village at St. Barnabas, followed

by Valencia Woods at St. Barnabas, The Washington Place,

The Woodlands and The Arbors at St. Barnabas. All are

Christian endeavors. We try our best to find space for

persons who come to us for help, for care, for security.

We are not the St. Barnabas Inn, but we try to be a good

example of what Christians can do for others regardless of

their faith, their station in life or their needs. For decades,

thousands of persons have given a gift each year to

St. Barnabas and we pray that this will be the year for you.

The Word became flesh in Bethlehem a long time ago.

Faith and work have preserved the Word over many years

through individuals such as you and me. We are obligated

to share our Christian faith through the generous giving of

our time, our talents and our treasure.

Please remember to go to church, to thank God for

His blessings and to help Christian charities such as

St. Barnabas and your local organizations.

Merry Christmas and God Bless,

WVD

A Mess age f rom W i l l i a m V . D a yDo the “Inn Thing”

The Inn season is upon us. In the coming days, we

will once again read and hear about a very

special young couple and how they did their Inn

Thing. They were Villagers by background and they

found no room at an Inn where they needed space. It

wasn’t even a holiday season in those days!

If only the manager or desk clerk of the Inn had known!

It may have been the forerunner of the Bethlehem

Holiday Inn which claimed “no vacancy.” Of course, how

was the Innkeeper to know about the imminent arrival of

that Special One? Maybe he would have rooms the next

day or the next year.

But space for Mary and Joseph was offered. And a free

gift was given to the world and it has never been the

same. Jesus was born in that stable in the Middle East

more than two thousand years ago. It was the center of

the world then and it is now.

It took some 32 years for Jesus to fulfill His mission

here on earth, from the humble beginning

near an Inn to a torturous cross at

Calvary. Perhaps one of the

lessons we all should

learn is that good

things do take time to

accomplish. Perhaps

decades.

FAITH & WORK 6

My fondest memories of Christmas are those of my childhood

when Christmas began well after Thanksgiving and focused on

church and family. Our parents told the story of Jesus’ birth,

explained why we exchanged gifts and why we are visited by a Saint named

Nicholas. Those were days of joy and wonder, music and worship.

Of course, those idyllic memories have long been eclipsed by the almost

complete commercialization of Christmas. The season begins in early Fall

with store decorations, piped music and the daily arrival of catalogs

hawking gifts that are not needed. We read about Christmas “success”

measured by retail sales rather than how many people celebrated the birth

of Christ. Yet despite this adulteration of what should be a sacred holiday,

there are still ways to recapture the spirit and importance of Christmas.

Several years ago I was introduced to a program begun by the president of

St. Barnabas, Bill Day. His very simple but elegant idea was to identify

patients in health care facilities who had been abandoned or forgotten by

circumstances or uncaring families. Patients who were not likely to receive

a visit or a gift during the Christmas season. Once identified, the patients

would be visited by volunteers bringing small gifts and wishing them a merry

and blessed Christmas.

Bill Day’s idea became a wonderful program called PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS®

which is now in its 33rd year and has created visits and brought gifts to

thousands of grateful recipients.

I became a volunteer and in doing so recaptured the spirit of Christmas in

my life. Those fading memories of my childhood Christmas celebrations

had been rekindled by the sparks of happiness I felt by making someone’s

Christmas a little brighter.

Since that first enlightening visit, I have become a dedicated volunteer for

PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS®, visiting a nursing home every year. Most often

I am now accompanied by a group of Boy and/or Girl Scouts who sing

carols, help deliver presents and make Christmas

memories that will be forever cherished.

If you, your organization, company or family want to

inject some cheer in your lives and the lives of others

this Christmas, consider joining the many volunteers at

PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS®. I promise you will remember

Christmas in a way for which the holiday was originally

created. Please join us! Call 724-443-0011 or go

online: PresentsForPatients.com.

more than visits from their family,

neighbors, a friend, children, their church or club.

Long-time PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS® donors have

adding a patient to their holiday gift list, spreading

Christmas cheer to thousands of men and women

attention to diet and exercise

maintaining relationships

gift of spirituality

meaningful workOne of the most important things

people learn early on in life is

Nothing is Free! Everything we do,

become or want has a cost. In my latest

book, Square One: A Simple Guide to a

Balanced Life, I reveal the terrible cost I

paid trying to have it all and the lessons I

eventually learned to rebalance my life and

start living again as a whole person.

I suffered from an extreme case of career

burnout. Burnout in America is not just

people working longer and harder but the

extreme toll it takes on your health, family

and social interactions. Eighty-three

percent of workers now say they’re stressed

about their jobs and nearly 50 percent say

work-related stress is interfering with

their sleep. Fatigue, cynicism, substance

abuse, poor judgement and discontent

with co-workers are also common

symptoms of burnout.

Using my own life changing events, I

provide numerous insights and proven

tools that can help prevent burnout and

stress. In my book, I discuss four critical

elements to balanced living: attention to

diet and exercise, meaningful work,

maintaining relationships and the

gift of spirituality. Ideally, each should

be equal in importance for a balanced

life, similar to four sides to a square.

Whether you read this book or not, it is

important to find balance in your life.

Think of the four sides of a square and

strive to include each side in your life daily.

LIGHTSOF LIFE

FAITH & WORK 10

Memory Care Specialist Anna Foust and Richard Markin enjoy the last warm days of Fall near The Arbors waterfall.

A cherry coke at an old fashioned

soda fountain brought Richard and

MaryAnn Markin together 65 years

ago…not to be separated until MaryAnn’s

death on Jan. 15, 2016.

Richard, a pharmacy intern, was a soda

jerk and MaryAnn became his life partner.

Their memories and the care and love of

family and the staff at St. Barnabas have

kept Richard going since he lost MaryAnn.

“The staff promised my Mom they would

look after him,” their daughter Margaret

Martin, Director of Advancement at Vincentian

Academy, said. “And she told us to ‘to take

care of your Dad.’”

The Markins had moved to The Arbors at

St. Barnabas in Valencia in February, 2013.

MaryAnn had had a stroke and she and

Richard came to live with Margaret and her

husband Jeff in Zelienople, PA. The Martins,

who both worked, soon realized that this

was not the solution – Richard would forget

the soup boiling over on the stove and then

MaryAnn fell down the stairs. St. Barnabas

was the answer.

“Mom and Dad absolutely loved St. Barnabas,”

Margaret explained. “They were allowed to

stay together and they had freedom – a

feeling of independence in their private

room in the Penthouse, yet there was the

St. Barnabas staff looking after them. This

made us feel good.”

Born and raised in Ohio, Richard received

his degree in pharmacy from the University

of Toledo and went on to own his own

Rexall Pharmacy in Toledo. He worked at

St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo for 15 years.

MaryAnn was an aide in the school system

and very active in the community, always

volunteering Richard.

They had three daughters: Margaret, Diane

of El Segundo, CA, and Patricia of Concord,

NC, and eventually two grandchildren and

eight great-grandchildren.

“Mom and Dad had a wonderful 65 years

together,” Margaret confided, “ first in

Toledo, and then 20 years of retirement in

Parrish, FL, doing whatever they wanted.

They traveled extensively and loved to throw

parties and to dance.”

FAITH & WORK 11

Take Care of Dad

MaryAnn attended classes at Ringling

Brothers University in Sarasota, FL, and

became involved in clown ministry,

volunteering at area hospitals and nursing

homes. Her clown name was Peanuts.

The Markins had many wonderful memories

and they continued to store up memories at

St. Barnabas where they participated in all

the Village get-togethers, the ice cream socials

and birthday parties where they became the

entertainment, singing and dancing.

“They loved to waltz,” Margaret added. “That’s

how I think of them, together, waltzing.

Mom is just waiting for Dad to join her in a

waltz. And in the meantime, St. Barnabas is

watching over Dad for her and for us.”

For Richard and MaryAnn Markin and

their family, the St. Barnabas experience

has been and continues to be a blessing.

If you would like to help other less

fortunate patients, please send a donation

to St. Barnabas Charities in the enclosed

yellow envelope or give online at

St.BarnabasCharities.com.

Memory

From spoon playing to sing-a-longs

to movies and Mass, Charles

Hinkle did it all and won the

hearts of fellow residents and staff at

The Village at St. Barnabas.

Charles and his wife Alice moved into The

Village Oct. 5, 2010 planning to enjoy

St. Barnabas together. Unfortunately, just

one month later, Alice died. Determined to

carry on, Charles jumped into St. Barnabas

activities, feet first, full throttle and never

cut back until his death in August 2016.

Born in Sunbury, PA, 90 years ago,

Charles served as a Radio man in the

U.S. Navy during WW II. After the war

he earned an electrical engineering

degree from Bucknell University and

worked for General Electric for more

than 30 years in Lynne, Mass., Syracuse,

NY, Philadelphia and finally Pittsburgh,

PA, retiring in 1986. For more than 15

years he worked at St. Clair Country Club,

mowing the grass on the golf course, a

job he loved. A dedicated gardener, he

liked to be outdoors and continued to

garden at St. Barnabas.

“What he most enjoyed,” his daughter,

Diane Baldwin, of Cocoa Beach, FL,

confided, “was making people laugh,

entertaining them. He did that at

St. Barnabas.”

Charlie learned to play the spoons and

delighted in performing for the residents.

He also took piano lessons at The Village

and played a mean “Chop Sticks.” One

of his favorite people at St. Barnabas was

Pam Fickes, retired St. Barnabas Recre-

ation Director now working part-time.

“He was a great help,” Pam said. “ Every

Friday morning he would set up and serve

at Mass. On Friday evening he was the

‘movie man,’ selecting films, running the

DVD player and acting as usher. Thursdays

was sing-a-long time. He assisted the

leader and when she was absent, donned

a black wig and dress and led the singing.

On Saturdays it was bingo. And when the

entertainment ran late, he would stay to

the end and turn off the lights, so I could

go home to my family, “

“He did so many kindnesses for the

residents and staff, cleaning off snow

from their cars, buying monthly birthday

cakes for his neighbors,” Pam added.

“He thrived at St. Barnabas,” his

daughter Diane said. “The last six years

of his life were full to overflowing.

When he was diagnosed with cancer, he

was disappointed that his life was

coming to an end. He kept volunteering

until just two weeks before his death.”

Diane and her husband Ted left their

home in Florida and rented an apartment

in Pittsburgh to be near Charlie the last

months of his life.

“He held on tight to his life, the life he

had made for himself with his friends at

St. Barnabas,” Diane said.

Charlie Hinkle died Aug. 4, 2016. More

than 70 of his friends attended the

services for this kind, gentle, loving man.

Please join us in honoring the

memory of Charles Hinkle with a gift

in his name to St. Barnabas Charities.

You may send your gift in the

enclosed yellow envelope or give

online at StBarnabasCharities.com.
