The Red Cross must collect 15,000 blood donations every day to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood.

Author reveals ‘A Senior Smart House: The Home That Cares for You’

Author Teri Lyn Vander Heiden has never built or designed a house in her 80 years. The true story about “A Senior Smart House: The Home That Cares for You” (published by Xlibris) came to this 80-year old widow, following an accident which rendered her in a coma for nearly a week. When she awoke, she could not sleep at night, so to rest her eyes, she was aware that voices came from within her when she began to write down what they were saying. Not being asleep or quite awake, she called this event her “twilight dreams.” Keeping these words in a spiral pad, she shared them with a friend who was a contractor and he told her she was building a “smart house.”

In this book, she reveals a revolutionary house, first of its kind – a bedroom at night that becomes a sitting room during the day. There are sensors that turn lights on or off, as well as sensors for heat, air, plumbing, etc. There is no need for her to move in with family or friends as she gets older, nor does she have to go into a senior center to be waited on. The

house will take care of her. Using Feng Shui to create the ‘CHI’ energy to keep her strong and healthy, she designed and created a home that is a prototype for a handicapped person to live in, where he/she can enjoy the stay and feel independent. It is a unique system that looks after the inhabitant, complete with thoughtful designs and technology to make everyday activities easy.

While watching the house being built, she has written and published two books and she is currently finishing her third and fourth books, hopefully within the next six to eight months. To experience this special home, she encourages anyone to come by and visit. It is her hope that through this book, “A Senior Smart House: The Home That Cares for You,” readers will get ideas, especially for a handicapped person, that they can take back to their home for comfort in their healing.

Teri Lyn Vander Heiden was born in East Liverpool, Ohio, on February 18, 1935. She’s been married four times

and widowed twice. Heiden has been blessed with three children (two boys, Don and John, and a girl, Robin), thirteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. She has been a masseuse all her life and found she possessed a healing touch and a calling to help others. Heiden has always been involved in the community. At Fremont Junior High School in Mesa, Arizona, she worked as a media assistant. She has served as a health and safety coordinator for an underground gold and silver mine in Virginia City, Nevada. She held the office of president of the Real Estate Board at Incline Village, Nevada, near Lake Tahoe; real estate commissioner; and owner of two real estate offices (Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas).

Minority-Owned Businesses Continue To Grow in OhioFor the first time ever, the state recently

announced it exceeded its goal of 15 percent by purchasing 19 percent of all goods and services from certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) businesses. The most recent report shows $228.5 million was spent with minority-owned businesses across the state, up from $165 million in 2014.

“We are extremely excited about this year’s success and we intend to continue the momentum moving forward,” said Kenyatta Chandler, Interim Chief of the Minority Business Development Division at

the Ohio Development Services Agency. “By encouraging minority-owned businesses to do work with the state we ultimately grow a more diverse workforce.”

“Participation in the MBE program has been a key component supporting the growth and expansion of my business,” said Milton McIntyre, President of Peak Electric, Inc. “At Peak, we have been able to provide goods and services to a cross-section of state agencies.” Every state agency has created a spending plan for 2016 and will continue to include minority-owned businesses for

contract opportunities. From IT services to medical service providers to food services, the state needs it all and is looking for minority-owned businesses to provide these goods and services.

“The key to the success of the MBE program is having a strong and diverse pool of talented, MBE-certified businesses that are ready, willing and able to help state agencies meet their program needs,” said Greg Williams, Deputy Director and State EEO Coordinator, Department of Administrative Services.

Minority Business Assistance Centers (MBAC) are strategically placed across the state to help business owners with certification and any other assistance needed to start or grow a business.

“We hope the continued focus and growth of the MBE program will allow the MBAC to help even more businesses in Ohio do business with state agencies and access the capital and bonds needed to grow and expand their business,” said Portia Ash, Director of the Toledo Minority Business Assistance Center.

As a new school year begins and summer slowly turns to fall, I think about how the world is constant-ly changing. For some people, change is feared and avoided, for others change is exciting and seen as presenting new opportunities. Whichever view you have, change is certainly inevitable.

Those of you who have been patients of Jane L. Dodson, DDS & Associates may have noticed changes in our office.

After meeting your dental needs at 88 Center road for the past 29

years, Dr. Dodson is making a change. She is transitioning into a new career about which she is very excited. We wish her well in her new adventure and know that she will be very successful. I am proud that she has chosen me, Dr. Mychael Davis, to carry on the tra-dition that she has established over these many years. High quality dental care in a caring atmosphere will continue to be the focus of our practice. I have practiced in this area for 29 years, and am honored that you have accepted me as your new dentist.

We’ve had some other staff chang-es as well, all with the never end-

ing goal of improving our service to you. And we’ve made a slight change in the name, to Bedford Dental Associates, to emphasize our commitment to our community and to you.

Thanks for your continuing con-fidence in us and for letting us be a part of your health care team.

Yours in Health,Mychael E. Davis, D.D.S.Dr. Mychael Davis

If Your Student Struggles To Read, Help Is On The Way! Does Your Child Struggle to Read?

Garfield Heights Elementary Schools have a plan. If you have a child in the primary grades who has struggled to learn to read, help is on the way.

What we will do…

Our schools follow the steps contained in Ohio’s Third Grade Reading Guarantee. We assess the reading skills of every child in kindergarten through grade 3 at

the beginning of the school year. If we find that your child is not reading at the level needed for his or her grade, we will create a Reading Improvement Plan just for your child. The plan will include extra reading time each day led by a trained reading teacher.

Our goal is to make sure that by the end of third grade, your child has the reading skills needed to be successful in higher grades, where learning relies more heavily on the ability to read.

With the extra attention we give our struggling readers, many catch up before third grade.

What you can do…

You can help improve your child’s reading skills at the same we’re working on that at school. An organization called InfOhio offers 10 tips to help parents support reading at home. You can also make sure your child attends school

every day and arrives on time so we can provide instruction and assistance.

Reading is the key to learning throughout a child’s school years. That’s why it’s very important to bring struggling readers up to speed as early as possible. Working together, schools and parents can make sure every child is armed with the reading skills needed to be successful in school.
