to wear your comfy jeans. I describe the atmosphere as “classy
casual.”
Purchasing a gift certificate in advance has the advantage of
an added $10 for every $100 purchased. Dining at The Cornerstone saves on my grocery bill. Happy husband!
Speaking of gift certificates, know someone who has everything? A Cornerstone gift certificate makes a wonderful surprise
for Valentine’s Day, or any day for that matter.
The Cornerstone is a great place to bring friends and family and I love hosting a meeting or special gathering there. It’s fun to
be a “regular.” Yep. Everyone there knows my name.
There is no tipping allowed. This is the toughest part for me, I
must admit. I do love the staff and always receive terrific service.
We can also bring our own wine and beer - or not. This is a nice
choice for diners. The coffee is O’Neill’s - simply the best. Sorry,
wrong commercial.
I enjoy everything on The Cornerstone menu, and I’ve tried
almost everything. From lunch to dinner items to fabulous desserts, it’s all fantastic - but this article is about cravings. So what
do I crave at The Cornerstone this month? My all-time favorite
item so far comes from the appetizer section and I highly recommend the stuffed mushrooms. Cream cheese and spinach-stuffed
mushroom caps served hot with crispy chopped scallions. I look
forward to starting every meal with these tasty little treats.
And then I recommend the balsamic chicken, and the honey
ginger shrimp, and the crab cakes, and the filet mignon, and the
reuben...oh, yes, I definitely recommend the reuben!
Until next month...it’s all good.
Cornerstone
Cravings
By Beckie Erwin, St. Paul’s Marketing Specialist
Now that The Cornerstone is established in The Keifer Building (currently for our St. Paul’s family of residents, staff, volunteers, Without Walls members, and their families and guests), I
thought it might be fun to do something I’ve always wanted to
do - review food.
Since The Cornerstone opened in October, my family made
the decision to take advantage of this beautiful, convenient restaurant at every opportunity. I don’t like to cook, my family prefers food that isn’t charred beyond recognition, and eating here is
delicious and practical. (Bonus: we go home to a clean kitchen!)
The choices on the regular menu are plentiful and varied but then
we have yet another choice of a home-style special each week.
Soups are amazing and different from the normal fare, such as
one of my scrumptious favorites - butter bean sausage, but we can
choose the delectible wedding soup every day. Rolls are freshly
made, salads are crisp and fresh, veggies are oven-broiled.
Sunday brunch can’t be beat by any restaurant as far as my
family is concerned, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner items
off a special menu from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Everyone gets something unique to their liking. No guess-work for Mom.
Beyond the food, tables are set for fine dining, but feel free

Spiritual Services
New Ministry
Opportunity for
Spiritual Visitation
Join our
Pastor Bill and Pastor Julia are seeking volunteers
among St. Paul’s staff and residents for a new
ministry opportunity.
Specifically, they are looking for individuals willing
to be trained and then to carry out spiritual visitation to
residents in The Villas, The Heritage, The Ridgewood, or
The Colony across the course of the calendar year ahead.
Pastor Glenn Sadler will help lead the visitation training on a date this winter yet to be determined.
Buoyed by the positive results of the Eucharistic Ministry program, Pastors Bill and Julia are excited about this
new ministry which is similarly intended to provide ongoing spiritual support for residents in need of that as well as
the opportunity for others to grow in relationships and
service.
If you are interested in taking part, please call Pastor
Bill Kirker at ext. 1349 or Pastor Julia at ext. 1145.

A Message from Pastor Bill
What is your life verse?
What is your life verse? Do you have one?
A life verse is a verse or passage of scripture that has a significant impact on your life. It often is also referred
to as a favorite verse and is probably a passage that you have committed to memory.
Often a life verse provides comfort, encouragement and peace. But it may also be a verse that challenges you!
My life verse is found in the Book of Proverbs, chapter 3 and verses 5-6: “Trust in the LORD with all your
heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which
path to take.” (NLT)
I am quoting from the New Living Translation above, as it offers greater clarity.
For some reason we don’t always put our full faith and trust in God within a specific situation. Whether it is
our desire to be in control or to exercise our free will, we don’t always seek God’s plan or direction.
Solomon notes that we need to trust God completely rather than depending on our own reasoning and
thoughts. Verse 6 notes that we need to seek His will in all we do. This includes every facet of our lives. We affirm that He is an all-knowing God, yet we hesitate to always turn to Him for guidance and answers.
I encourage you to review your life verse, or if you do not have one, to look into God’s Word to discover yours.

Help a caregiver beat
‘cabin fever’
Kelsey Sturm
Feeling housebound is common among family caregivers, and is particularly so for partners caring for a
loved one with an "unpredictable" disease. Some conditions, such as congestive heart failure, make planning
difficult because the patient's stamina can fluctuate dramatically. The inability to make plans and get out of the
house can be especially hard for spouses who are used
to doing things together.
Doug Sopher, certified occupational therapy assistant; hometown: Harmansburg, PA; family: lives with wife and two sons;
education: associate’s degree in occupational therapy from
Penn State; years experience: 18; areas of clinical practice:
acute care, skilled nursing; what he loves about working at St.
Paul’s: “The friendly staff.”
Jenna Alexander, occupational therapist; hometown: Sandy
Lake, lives in Fredonia; family: husband, Nathan; education:
master’s degree in health science from Gannon University,
occupational therapy; years experience: 2.5; areas of clinical
practice: skilled nursing and home health; what she loves about
working at St. Paul’s: “Working in a close, team-oriented environment with great residents.”
Isolation frequently leads to depression in both patients and their partners. It has also been linked with
worsening physical health among family caregivers.
Unfortunately, spouses tend to feel guilty if they go out
with friends or engage in pleasurable activities. But
staying cooped up only puts their own health, and ability to care for their loved one, at risk.
James Bancroft, certified occupational therapy assistant;
hometown: Greenville, lives in Grove City; family: wife, Marrie, and two sons; education: associates degree in occupational
therapy from Kaplan University; years experience: 2; areas of
clinical practice: skilled nursing; what he loves about working
at St. Paul’s: “Wonderful residents and coworkers.”
There are many solutions to "cabin fever." Help your
relative's spouse:
Wade Bucher, physical therapist; hometown: Suffern, NY,
lives in Grove City with fiancé, Kassandra, their cat and two
birds; education: doctorate in physical therapy from Slippery
Rock University; years experience: 2; areas of clinical practice:
skilled nursing; what he loves about working at St. Paul’s: “The
residents and my rehab family.”
Reach out. Maintain relationships with friends and
family, even if just by phone or email. Join an online
support group to connect with others who understand.
Kelsey Sturm, speech language pathologist, CFY; hometown:
Edinboro, lives in McKean; family: parents in Erie and brother
in Utah; education: master’s degree in speech language pathology, Clarion, recently graduated; areas of clinical practice:
acute care, schools; what she loves about working at St. Paul’s:
“Getting to know the residents.”
Stay active. Do something physical every day, even if
it's just a walk around the house or yard.
Create personal time. Set aside time each day for a
pleasant activity, unrelated to caregiving.
Get out of the house. Take a real break. Do something carefree. There are 168 hours in a week. Taking
one or two hours for personal time without responsibilities is not too much! (If your loved one requires constant attention, consider getting in-home assistance or
respite care.)

Safeguard health. Encourage your loved one's spouse
to talk to a doctor if you think he or she may be depressed. Depressed caregivers have much greater health
risks. If they hesitate, remind them they will not be able
to help their partner if their own health goes south!

Seeking wedding dresses for Angel Gown project
The Ridgewood at St. Paul’s is starting a new
activity with staff and residents. Along with the
layettes and hats they have made over
the last year for Magee Women’s Hospital, they are starting a new project
making Angel Gowns. These gowns
are worn by premature babies who do
not survive birth. Even though this is a very sad
subject, it is an important need and something
that helps families cope with their loss.
The gowns are made from donated wedding
dress material. Anyone who would be willing
to donate a wedding dress is asked to contact
Ridgewood Life Enrichment Specialist Roxanne McElhinny at 724-5887610, ext. 1156, or at rmcelhinny@
lifeatstpauls.org.
For more information about the
project itself, visit www.nicuhelpinghands.org

Thank you to everyone who considers this
project by making a donation.

Notice: When leaving The Heritage for an appointment

leave and sign in when you return.
There is a sign out/in sheet at each nursing station
on 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor, and at the receptionist desk on
1st floor.
This is important for the staff to know in case of an
emergency so every resident can be accounted for.
Country Kitchen Available
for Resident, Family Use
Home cooking, regular cooking groups, baking, and
homemade soup days have resumed in our Country
Kitchen. All interested residents are encouraged to join in.
Help to make a casserole or favorite dish and organize
a small luncheon, bake a special dessert for tablemates or
your dining room, whip up a batch of cookies or bake a
favorite cake or pie to share.
There is nothing like the aroma of home cooking and
baking coming from our first-floor Country Kitchen.
Please remember that our Country Kitchen is also available to our residents and their families to use for special
dinners, celebrations, parties, or just to order a pizza for a
late night snack.
The Country Kitchen can be reserved by calling Michele

Auxiliary crafters
Relocate to Keifer Building
2015 Craft Show is Nov. 6, 7,
moves to Keifer Gym
Can’t believe we’re already well into the New Year and
meetings are now underway in preparation for the 2015 St.
Paul’s Auxiliary Craft Show and Bazaar. The Craft Room formerly located in The Heritage has been relocated to the basement of the Keifer Building. I would like to thank all those
who helped in any way to help prepare our new space and
to those who helped in any way to make this move possible.
Crafters are meeting every Tuesday morning from 9–11
a.m. from January through April, then on the first and third
Tuesdays from May until August, and once again every
Tuesday beginning Sept. 1 until the craft show.
I would like to announce that this year’s craft show will
have a new venue in 2015, and by popular request, will now
be held over two days. This year’s craft show is scheduled
on Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7, and will be held in
the Keifer Building Gymnasium. We still plan to have many
wonderful crafts, delicious baked goods, awesome Chinese
auction and raffles, and everything else that helps makes our
craft show and bake sale the best around. Admission will
also remain free of charge.
All are welcome to attend our craft meetings. Please come
and bring your suggestions or ideas to share. We have many
projects and welcome all help. If you are unable to attend the
meetings, and need to complete your crafts at home, that is
also fine. We still welcome any donations and crafting supplies, which can now be placed in the “Drop-Off Box” located outside the entrance of Craft Room.
We look forward to another wonderful year! If you have
any questions, I can be contacted at 724-588-9613, ext. 1135,
or at [email protected].

For our furry friends
Instead of exchanging gifts with each other this Christmas, staff members at The Heritage and The Ridgewood
made donations for Strayhaven Animal Shelter in Greenville. They collected cash, food, towels, comforters, and
toys for the shelter, which is a non-kill facility, something that was most important to the staff. The Ridgewood also
collected food items for a local food bank.
