Each issue of Cornerstone in 2008 will feature a story focusing on a particular aspect of the chapter’s history. In this issue- the chapter’s early years are highlighted.) iana Trenkamp remembers her first meeting of caregivers and health care professionals at the University of Cincinnati in 1981. The focus of the meeting was Alzheimer’s disease. “There must have been more than 100 people in attendance…there were people lined out the door. It was obvious that there was a definite need for education in our community,” said Mrs. Trenkamp, who played a major role in the development of what eventually became the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Cincinnati. Originally founded as a support group for caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, the Cincinnati chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association was officially granted 501 c (3) status by the state of Ohio in 1983. But the chapter’s origins date back several years earlier when a small group of Alzheimer family caregivers, including chapter founders Elizabeth Bolles, Janet Trame, Anne Shapero and Erline Hawkins first began conducting group meetings for caregivers. When the group heard about the creation of the Alzheimer’s Association (then based in New York) in 1980, they applied for membership. The first chapter-sponsored family support group was formed in 1983 and met in a private home on the west side of Cincinnati. A quarterly newsletter, with an initial mailing list of about 200, was also distributed to interested member families and professionals. The chapter also offered caregiver support via the telephone – what would become known as “helpline.” “As board president, Betty (Bolles) conducted chapter business from her home and responded to many of the helpline calls herself,” said Mrs. Trenkamp who was hired in August, 1983 and served 20 years as chapter executive director.

2008 008 is a is significant a significant year<br />
for us (as they all have been)<br />
but this is more so because it is<br />
the Alzheimer’s Association’s 25th<br />
year as a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization<br />
delivering family and educational<br />
programming <strong>to</strong> those living with<br />
Alzheimer’s disease and the other<br />
dementias in Greater Cincinnati.<br />
What started in 1983 as a support<br />
By Clarissa Rentz group and evolved in<strong>to</strong> a one<br />
Executive Direc<strong>to</strong>r woman show, in a one room<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice, with one telephone and a<br />
very small budget has now grown <strong>to</strong> a staff <strong>of</strong> 20 utilizing<br />
sizable <strong>of</strong>fice space and many communication modalities,<br />
with an annual budget that has grown <strong>to</strong> approximately<br />
$1.4 million.<br />
In terms <strong>of</strong> understanding the disease process, much<br />
has changed as well. This past 25 years have seen<br />
great advances in the understanding <strong>of</strong> the molecular,<br />
biochemical and biological mechanisms associated with<br />
the pathology <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer’s disease and the other<br />
dementias. We have seen phenomenal growth in the<br />
area <strong>of</strong> care; with an abundance <strong>of</strong> dementia facilities<br />
and products geared <strong>to</strong>ward the care <strong>of</strong> persons with<br />
dementing illnesses. Unfortunately, this growth in care<br />
services and products parallels the increase in the number<br />
<strong>of</strong> affected individuals we are seeing in our communities<br />
nationally and locally.<br />
If we look at the most recent numbers released by<br />
the National Alzheimer’s Association, by year 2050 we<br />
anticipate that there will be approximately 120,000<br />
affected individuals in our chapter terri<strong>to</strong>ry. Indeed we are<br />
facing an emerging epidemic while dealing with a slowing<br />
economy. This impacts our families especially in the<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> health care affordability, accessibility and for the<br />
chapter, families’ philanthropic giving, which ultimately<br />
affects our ability <strong>to</strong> fund our programs and services.<br />
Over the past 25 years, through targeted core programs<br />
for families and affected individuals, our chapter has<br />
served thousands and thousands <strong>of</strong> individuals all for no<br />
or a very limited fee for service. As a nurse who has dealt<br />
with this disease on a pr<strong>of</strong>essional and personal level for<br />
close <strong>to</strong> 15 years, I wish I could say that the next 25 years<br />
will be a different s<strong>to</strong>ry and the Alzheimer’s Association<br />
will not be in existence. However, this may not the case<br />
so the Board and staff will need <strong>to</strong> think about how we<br />
continue <strong>to</strong> serve our families and affected individuals<br />
free <strong>of</strong> charge in difficult times with unexpected negative<br />
turns in the economy.<br />
Of course it is our hope <strong>to</strong> be freely accessible <strong>to</strong> families<br />
and individuals affected by the dementing disorders but<br />
this may not be possible without relying on the generosity<br />
<strong>of</strong> our volunteers and supporters. Our volunteers are our<br />
greatest hope for the future success <strong>of</strong> our organization.<br />
We so strongly believe in this concept that we have<br />
addressed the role and the importance <strong>of</strong> the volunteer in<br />
strengthening our chapter’s capacity in our strategic plan<br />
for FY 2009-2011. We acknowledge that we must look<br />
<strong>to</strong> volunteers <strong>to</strong> augment our clinical and development<br />
staff in the delivery <strong>of</strong> programs, services and volunteer<br />
development functions. Presently we have nearly 300<br />
volunteers who assist us in our advocacy, administrative<br />
Mission Statement<br />
The Alzheimer’s Association <strong>of</strong><br />
Greater Cincinnati is committed <strong>to</strong><br />
support, education, advocacy and<br />
research on behalf <strong>of</strong> those affected<br />
by Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
A Word About Us<br />
A 25-Year Commitment <strong>to</strong> Caring<br />
Various programs and services are funded in part by the<br />
Ohio Department <strong>of</strong> Aging through the Council on Aging <strong>of</strong><br />
Southwestern Ohio and the Area Agency on Aging District 7.<br />
and fundraising areas. They are capable and <strong>of</strong>ten speak<br />
from the heart because they have experienced the disease<br />
first hand and believe passionately in our cause. Wouldn’t<br />
it be wonderful if we could bolster our volunteer base<br />
<strong>to</strong> four times our current number so during those <strong>to</strong>ugh<br />
times we can better serve our constituency and sustain<br />
our vital programs and services? Then we can utilize the<br />
passion and voice <strong>of</strong> the volunteer <strong>to</strong> help us carry the<br />
load. These are our untapped philanthropists.<br />
Honoring Those Who Give <strong>of</strong> Time and Talent<br />
We try <strong>to</strong> honor the many volunteers and philanthropists<br />
who have made our world at the Alzheimer’s Association<br />
a better place. All are important <strong>to</strong> us but every year<br />
we highlight one person who over the years has made<br />
a difference, who gives freely and without need for<br />
recognition or expectation <strong>of</strong> anything in return. On<br />
May 3, at our Spring Benefit, the Alzheimer’s Association<br />
will not only focus on our 25 years <strong>of</strong> commitment<br />
and service <strong>to</strong> the community but will also honor<br />
an individual who has had significant impact on our<br />
organization. This year we have chosen not one person<br />
but two; a devoted couple who are not only well known<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Alzheimer’s Association but also <strong>to</strong> the arts and<br />
health related communities. They are Ruthann and Dr.<br />
Jim Sammarco. We at the Association are fortunate <strong>to</strong><br />
have them as long time supporters. Ruthann and Jim<br />
have given <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>to</strong> the chapter, first through Ruthann’s<br />
service as a board member and member <strong>of</strong> the executive<br />
committee and Jim’s support <strong>of</strong> her work at the chapter.<br />
Ruthann has been a constant and faithful board member,<br />
always available <strong>to</strong> counsel and guide. Ruthann and Jim<br />
have opened their home and wine cellar, hosted lovely<br />
dinners prepared by nationally known chefs all <strong>to</strong> the<br />
support and benefit <strong>of</strong> the association’s programs and<br />
services. I invite you all <strong>to</strong> join us as the Alzheimer’s<br />
Association is Broadway Bound <strong>to</strong> honor the Sammarcos<br />
in style and with great appreciation.<br />
As the executive direc<strong>to</strong>r now for 16 months, I have<br />
been privileged <strong>to</strong> meet and speak <strong>to</strong> many generous<br />
individuals; volunteers who are there for us, during<br />
rain and shine; people who continue <strong>to</strong> donate needed<br />
dollars monthly or yearly on an ongoing basis because<br />
they believe in our mission. They are our constant and<br />
generous volunteer cheerleaders and supporters. Mr.<br />
Carl Lindner, and many like him are providing a solid<br />
foundation so that we can meet whatever demands face<br />
us in the coming years. When I review what I have<br />
written in these columns over the past 16 months, I note<br />
a common theme; one <strong>of</strong> thanks but also constant appeals<br />
for help. Please forgive me if I am repetitive but know that<br />
I am doing so on behalf <strong>of</strong> those who repeat because they<br />
have forgotten and who cannot coherently ask for help.<br />
So here it is, if you have a skill and a need <strong>to</strong> help<br />
others in some way, please call us and let us know your<br />
preferences. We have a variety <strong>of</strong> job and tasks; answering<br />
the phones, volunteering at events, helping with our<br />
Memory Walks, assisting with administrative tasks, all<br />
which help <strong>to</strong> keep our <strong>of</strong>fice running efficiently and<br />
effectively. Without you we cannot meet the demands<br />
<strong>of</strong> an emerging silent epidemic known as Alzheimer’s<br />
disease.

the many challenges and caregiving issues<br />
surrounding Alzheimer’s disease, familiarity can<br />
be a good thing.<br />
For Roger and Carol Rosenthal, facilita<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>of</strong> an<br />
Alzheimer’s Association Family <strong>Support</strong> Group in<br />
Montgomery for the past 18 months, the experience<br />
has been both personally beneficial and gratifying.<br />
Having lost both <strong>of</strong> their mothers <strong>to</strong> Alzheimer’s<br />
disease, the couple has experienced first-hand many <strong>of</strong><br />
the issues <strong>of</strong>ten discussed at the meetings.<br />
“When my mother (Annette) had Alzheimer’s, my<br />
sister and father attended a support group but I never<br />
went,” said Mr. Rosenthal. “It wasn’t until Carol’s<br />
mom (Eva) had Alzheimer’s that we started going <strong>to</strong> an<br />
Alzheimer’s support group.”<br />
Family <strong>Support</strong> Groups <strong>of</strong>fer caregivers and family<br />
members <strong>of</strong> individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease an opportunity <strong>to</strong> meet<br />
and share their personal experiences. The monthly meetings are conducted in<br />
community settings that <strong>of</strong>fer convenience for participants.<br />
“One <strong>of</strong> the most important aspects <strong>of</strong> the support group experience is the<br />
realization by participants that they are not alone. The fact that others are going<br />
through the same things can be a real source <strong>of</strong> comfort,” said <strong>Chapter</strong> Program<br />
Direc<strong>to</strong>r Anne Von Hoene.<br />
After attending a “When the Diagnosis is Alzheimer’s disease” series program,<br />
the Rosenthals decided <strong>to</strong> attend the family support group in their area. After two<br />
years <strong>of</strong> being group participants, they decided <strong>to</strong> take training <strong>to</strong> serve as FSG<br />
facilita<strong>to</strong>rs. Their group meets the second Monday <strong>of</strong> each month at the Church<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Savior, 8005 Pfeiffer Road.<br />
The Rosenthals say the experience has been a very positive one.<br />
“We always share our own s<strong>to</strong>ries <strong>to</strong> put the new people at ease,” said Mr.<br />
Anniversary from page 1<br />
Business was conducted from residences until 1984 when the chapter moved<br />
in<strong>to</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice space donated by Cincinnati Area Senior Services (CASS) at the Holiday<br />
Office Park in Queensgate - the site <strong>of</strong> the current Cincinnati <strong>of</strong>fice. CASS provided<br />
the fledgling chapter with a desk and one telephone line for helpline.<br />
“When they (CASS) moved <strong>to</strong> the 10th floor, the chapter moved in<strong>to</strong> a small<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice. By then we began attracting pr<strong>of</strong>essionals who were assisting us with the<br />
support groups,” said Mrs. Trenkamp, who conducted the day-<strong>to</strong>-day administration<br />
<strong>of</strong> the chapter for 20 hours a week - $5 an hour.<br />
During its first year, the chapter had an operational budget <strong>of</strong> $35,000 - with the<br />
majority <strong>of</strong> funding coming from memorial donations and paid memberships from<br />
families. The chapter’s first organized “fundraiser” was a treasure chest raffle. Items<br />
were collected for inclusion in a treasure chest and raffle tickets sold for a winner take<br />
all. The raffle raised about $2,000.<br />

Within months, however,<br />
donors from various sources<br />
began taking a much more<br />
active role in supporting the<br />
chapter.<br />
In 1983, The Greater<br />
Cincinnati Foundation awarded<br />
the first (about $2,000) <strong>of</strong><br />
many grants <strong>to</strong> the Alzheimer’s<br />
Association <strong>of</strong> Cincinnati <strong>to</strong><br />
support chapter programs and<br />
services.<br />
“The Foundation gift<br />
was a sign that we were being<br />
recognized for our mission and<br />
our work,” said Mrs. Trenkamp.<br />
“It was very important <strong>to</strong> our<br />
credibility.”<br />
From left, the late Betty Bolles, Anne Shapero and<br />

With the support <strong>of</strong> Bill Templin, Ameris<strong>to</strong>p was the first corporate sponsor <strong>of</strong><br />
the local Memory Walk. The chapter’s first walk in 1989 raised about $23,000. In<br />
addition, Chi Omega Sorority began conducting a black-tie fundraiser that would<br />
eventually develop in<strong>to</strong> the annual Spring Benefit. During this period, the chapter<br />
also received its first major foundation gift – a three-year grant <strong>to</strong>taling $75,000 from<br />
the Corbett Foundation.<br />
The increased financial support enabled the chapter <strong>to</strong> hire full-time pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
staff.<br />
In 1989, Jane Spille, a psychiatric nurse, was hired as the chapter’s first program<br />
direc<strong>to</strong>r. Her husband, Jack, would become a long-time board member and “recruiter”<br />
for the chapter.<br />
“At one time we had just about everyone from Jack’s men’s club members on the<br />
board,” said Mrs. Trenkamp. “He brought in a number <strong>of</strong> people who really did a lot<br />
for us.”<br />

Making A Connection<br />
With Minority Community<br />
By Regina McDonald<br />

ecent studies indicate that African-Americans<br />
appear <strong>to</strong> be at greater risk for developing<br />
dementia-type diseases due <strong>to</strong> genetic and<br />
environmental risk fac<strong>to</strong>rs such as cardiovascular<br />
disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, obesity<br />
and diabetes.<br />
A similar correlation between health risk fac<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
and dementia in the Hispanic/Latino population is also<br />
being found in many new studies. This is particularly<br />
alarming given the fact that Hispanic/Latinos are the<br />
fasting growing minority population in the United<br />
States. Recent reports also indicate that strokes may be a contributing fac<strong>to</strong>r<br />
for developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementing illnesses within the<br />
African-American community.<br />
Currently, the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Heart Association<br />
and the American Stroke Association are partnering <strong>to</strong> create greater public<br />
awareness about the connection between cardiovascular risks and brain health.<br />
Cardiovascular diseases are prevalent within many minority populations which<br />
can put many African-Americans, Hispanic/Latinos and other minorities at<br />
risk for developing vascular related dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
Celebrating 25 years <strong>of</strong> service, the Alzheimer’s Association <strong>of</strong> Greater<br />
Cincinnati is here <strong>to</strong> help and provide hope <strong>to</strong> those dealing with dementia.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fer a variety <strong>of</strong> programs and services targeting many phases <strong>of</strong> the care<br />
giving journey. April is Minority Health Month and it is important <strong>to</strong> not only<br />
recognize but <strong>to</strong> target health care needs <strong>of</strong> the minority community. A number<br />
<strong>of</strong> our chapter programs specifically address the needs and concerns <strong>of</strong> African-<br />
Americans and Hispanic/Latinos, such as our African-American Caregiver<br />
Forum and our community Promo<strong>to</strong>ra de Salud education program.<br />
We also provide early educational intervention in the elementary, middle<br />
and high schools through health education. Alzheimer’s disease does not<br />
discriminate between the rich and the poor, the well educated and the<br />
uneducated, or African American, Hispanic/Latino and White. The Alzheimer’s<br />
Association is here <strong>to</strong> provide education, help and hope <strong>to</strong> all – let’s make the<br />
connection!<br />
Please mark your calendar – the 2008 African-American Family Caregiver<br />
Forum will be held on Friday, Oct. 31. Further details on the forum will be<br />
announced later this summer.<br />

Cincinnati <strong>Chapter</strong> Unveils<br />
New Web Site<br />
he Alzheimer’s Association<br />
<strong>of</strong> Greater Cincinnati has a<br />
Web site with a new look<br />
and a new address.<br />
The updated Web site was<br />
unveiled in January with a new<br />
address: www.alz.org/cincinnati. The<br />
site features complete information<br />
on local programs and services as<br />
well as special events.<br />
“For a growing segment <strong>of</strong> the<br />
public, the Internet is becoming a<br />
primary source <strong>of</strong> information on<br />
Alzheimer’s disease,” said Steve Olding, <strong>Chapter</strong> Communications direc<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
“Usage <strong>of</strong> our chapter Web site, for example, has doubled in the past three years<br />
while calls <strong>to</strong> our Helpline have stayed about the same in number. More people<br />
are coming <strong>to</strong> us for information, but a growing percentage <strong>of</strong> people are using<br />
a different method <strong>to</strong> obtain information from us.”<br />
During the past fiscal year, the chapter site recorded more than 1.4 million<br />
hits from 30,000 individual users.<br />
A<br />
Alzhemed Clinical Trial<br />
Results Disappointing<br />
fter consulting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on<br />
revising its statistical model, Neurochem has completed its statistical<br />
analysis and released the results <strong>of</strong> the company’s first Phase III clinical<br />
trial <strong>of</strong> Tramiprosate (Alzhemed) which was held in the United States<br />
and Canada.<br />
While the trials found numerical differences between people taking the<br />
drug and those taking a placebo, the results, both on cognitive functioning and<br />
daily activities, did not reach statistical significance.<br />
The trial results highlight the important need for more volunteers <strong>to</strong><br />
participate in Alzheimer’s clinical studies. Recruiting and retaining study<br />
participants is one <strong>of</strong> the greatest impediments <strong>to</strong> developing the next<br />
generation <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer treatments.<br />

“She knows Northern Kentucky well and understands our mission<br />
<strong>of</strong> service.”<br />
As an adult learner, Ms. Drews earned a degree in Social Work<br />
from Northern Kentucky University and a master’s degree in Social<br />
Work from the University <strong>of</strong> Kentucky. A certified social worker in<br />
Kentucky, she has a personal connection <strong>to</strong> dementia. Last year, her<br />
mother, Agnes, was diagnosed with dementia.<br />
“I am honored <strong>to</strong> join the Alzheimer’s Association and look<br />
forward <strong>to</strong> helping families in Northern Kentucky,” said Ms. Drews.<br />
“I know that there is a great need in Northern Kentucky for many<br />
families and I hope <strong>to</strong> be a source <strong>of</strong> support for them.”<br />
Ms. Drews has two children, Deanna and Debbie, and three<br />
step-children, Gary, Nicki and Bob. She and her husband, Gary,<br />

Join Celebrities As<br />
Alzheimer’s Champion<br />
oday, an estimated 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s<br />
disease, and by 2050, there will be almost a million new cases a year — unless<br />
we do something about it now.<br />
That’s why celebrities from the worlds <strong>of</strong> entertainment and sports, including<br />
Penny Marshall, Garry Marshall, Ronny Marshall, Molly Sims, Wayne Brady and<br />
Leeza Gibbons, have lent their faces and voices <strong>to</strong> help the Alzheimer’s Association<br />
challenge 5 million Americans – one for every person with the disease – <strong>to</strong> learn about<br />
Alzheimer’s and become an Alzheimer’s Champion.<br />
The celebrity Champions are highlighted in a series <strong>of</strong> compelling pho<strong>to</strong>graphs<br />
that will be exhibited across the country. In addition, national television, print and<br />
radio advertising aims <strong>to</strong> dispel public misperceptions and move people <strong>to</strong> take action<br />
in the fight against Alzheimer’s in the following ways:<br />
• ACT now <strong>to</strong> end Alzheimer’s – learn about the disease and get involved in the fight.<br />
• VOICE your support – become an advocate, help spread the word about the disease<br />
and tell your s<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />
• MOVE the Alzheimer’s Association’s cause forward – join a Memory Walk or<br />
volunteer at a local chapter.<br />
• OPEN your mind – learn the facts about Alzheimer’s and donate <strong>to</strong> the<br />
Association.<br />

<strong>Chapter</strong> Honors Volunteers For Service<br />
T<br />
he Alzheimer’s Association <strong>of</strong> Greater<br />
Cincinnati thanked its supporters while<br />
honoring three individuals with special<br />
awards <strong>of</strong> recognition at the 2007 <strong>Chapter</strong><br />
Leadership Luncheon at the Kenwood Country<br />
Club in November.<br />
An audience <strong>of</strong> nearly 120 volunteers, donors<br />
and sponsors enjoyed a luncheon and awards<br />
program recognizing the many contributions<br />
made by supporters <strong>to</strong> the Greater Cincinnati<br />
<strong>Chapter</strong> during the past year. Approximately<br />
325 volunteers contributed more than 4,500<br />
hours <strong>of</strong> service <strong>to</strong> the Greater Cincinnati<br />
<strong>Chapter</strong> during the past year.<br />
“The generous donation <strong>of</strong> time, effort and<br />
treasure from all our volunteers, donors and<br />
sponsors enables our chapter <strong>to</strong> better serve<br />
the thousands <strong>of</strong> families in the Tri-state area<br />
who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease,” said<br />
Executive Direc<strong>to</strong>r Clarissa Rentz. “We are<br />
truly grateful for their generous support.”<br />
Mary Ann Jacobs, Esq., received the<br />
Presidents Award - the chapter’s highest honor<br />
- for her exemplary service <strong>to</strong> the Greater<br />
Cincinnati <strong>Chapter</strong>. Ms. Jacobs, an at<strong>to</strong>rney<br />

president <strong>of</strong> the chapter’s board <strong>of</strong> direc<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
“Mary Ann has been a true friend <strong>to</strong> our<br />
chapter and instrumental in helping our chapter<br />
grow,” said Ms. Rentz, who presented the<br />
award <strong>to</strong> Ms. Jacobs. “Her leadership and legal<br />
expertise has been a tremendous help <strong>to</strong> me<br />
personally.”<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> her long-time service <strong>to</strong> the<br />
board, Ms. Jacobs has served on the chapter’s<br />
governance and executive committees and has<br />

events. She has also served as a presenter at the Summer<br />

The Greater Cincinnati <strong>Chapter</strong> also honored Curtis<br />
Sellers and Steve Schumacher for their outstanding<br />
contributions <strong>to</strong> the chapter.<br />
Mr. Sellers, president and CEO <strong>of</strong> Curtis Inc. Visual<br />
Communications, was presented the John Horn “Roll<br />
Up Your Sleeves” Memorial Award for his support <strong>of</strong><br />
the production <strong>of</strong> a chapter video. The 10-minute video<br />
featured interviews with family caregivers regarding<br />
their personal s<strong>to</strong>ries about Alzheimer’s disease and the<br />
support their families received through the programs<br />
and services provided by the Alzheimer’s Association<br />
<strong>of</strong> Greater Cincinnati.<br />
“For years we wanted <strong>to</strong> create a video that would<br />
tell our s<strong>to</strong>ry in a personal and effective manner, but we<br />
didn’t have the money <strong>to</strong> do it. When we approached<br />
Curt with the idea, he not only agreed <strong>to</strong> donate his<br />
firm’s services, but they went that extra mile in creating<br />
a truly special video,” said Communications Direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
Steve Olding, who presented the award.<br />
Steve Schumacher <strong>of</strong> Cincinnati was presented the<br />
Elizabeth Bolles Outstanding Service Award for his<br />
long-time support <strong>of</strong> the chapter’s Memory Walk as<br />
well as his countless hours <strong>of</strong> work on various chapter<br />
events.<br />
“Steve is a great example <strong>of</strong> what every volunteer<br />
should be,” said Ms. Rentz. “I don’t think anyone has<br />
contributed more volunteer hours over the past decade<br />
than Steve and he has done it all in a quiet manner<br />
without much fanfare.”<br />

All we could depend on was<br />
Hope.<br />
We knew our lives would hurt,<br />
Because <strong>of</strong> a disease called Alzheimer’s.<br />
I knew she couldn’t remember,<br />
The times we shared;<br />
But would she still hug, kiss, love or care?<br />
Sad sorrow;<br />
She didn’t know who <strong>to</strong> follow.<br />
Each step she tried <strong>to</strong> take;<br />
Failure always came her way.<br />
But when I see worse suffer;<br />
I have <strong>to</strong> thank God for this Grandmother.<br />
No matter how bad she gets;<br />
I will always be there.<br />
Because some <strong>of</strong> God’s greatest gifts,<br />
Are unanswered prayers;<br />
Even though these are our times <strong>of</strong> despair.<br />

Memory Walk 2008<br />
We're On the MOVE <strong>to</strong> End Alzheimer’s<br />
T<br />
he statistics are truly sobering. An estimated 5.1<br />
million Americans affected…the seventh leading<br />
cause <strong>of</strong> death in the United States…a new case<br />
every 71 seconds…a $148 billion annual cost. The latest<br />
figures regarding Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on the<br />
United States bring a heightened sense <strong>of</strong> urgency <strong>to</strong> do<br />
something about this growing epidemic.<br />
But for many who participate in Memory Walk, the<br />
statistics are overshadowed by more personal reasons <strong>to</strong> be<br />
involved in the event.<br />
“Participating in Memory Walk has become a family<br />
tradition,” said Ben Koenig, a <strong>to</strong>p fundraiser who lost his<br />
wife <strong>of</strong> 53 years, Ruth, last year <strong>to</strong> Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
“The Alzheimer’s Association has been a source <strong>of</strong> great<br />
support and information for our family and we’re happy<br />
<strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> give back with the donations we solicit for<br />
the walk.”<br />
Serving as the primary national fundraiser for the<br />
Alzheimer’s Association, Memory Walk is an annual<br />
event that brings those affected by Alzheimer’s disease,<br />
family members and community <strong>to</strong>gether in a show <strong>of</strong><br />
love, remembrance and support. Proceeds from the walks<br />
directly benefit local programs and services as well as<br />
support <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer research efforts.<br />
Last year, an estimated 3,600 walkers participated in<br />
the Greater Cincinnati <strong>Chapter</strong>’s five Memory Walks,<br />
raising a record <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>of</strong> $325,000.<br />

your web page link <strong>to</strong> your family, friends and co-workers<br />

and why their donation is so important.<br />
“It’s never <strong>to</strong>o early <strong>to</strong> register your Memory Walk<br />
team and start raising money in support <strong>of</strong> your team’s<br />
efforts,” said Tami Jones, Memory Walk team captain<br />

hether it affects a neighbor who quietly fades<br />
behind the upstairs curtains, a relative who<br />
no longer comes <strong>to</strong> visit during the holidays,<br />
or a former president, the effects <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer’s disease<br />
are drawing closer <strong>to</strong> each <strong>of</strong> us every day. We must be<br />
the last generation <strong>to</strong> face this disease without hope.”<br />
Maureen Reagan<br />
When the daughter <strong>of</strong> former President Ronald<br />
Reagan spoke those words in 1999, there was growing<br />
momentum in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
Heightened public awareness <strong>of</strong> the disease was helping eliminate false perceptions<br />
that it was “just old age.” At the same time, government leaders <strong>to</strong>ok notice <strong>of</strong> studies<br />
forecasting an alarming increase in the number <strong>of</strong> those affected by Alzheimer’s<br />
as well as the enormous future economic impact the disease would have on the<br />
country’s health care system and business community.<br />
During the decade <strong>of</strong> the ‘90s, annual federal funding <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer research<br />
increased more than 250 percent (<strong>to</strong> $400 million by 1999).<br />
Prompted by the concerted efforts <strong>of</strong> the Alzheimer’s Association and its advocates,<br />
as well as encouraging developments in Alzheimer research, Congress further<br />
increased funding through the National Institutes <strong>of</strong> Health (NIH) <strong>to</strong> nearly<br />
$660 million per year in 2003. In addition, federal funding supported a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
important Association programs, including Safe Return © “<br />
W<br />
and a national 24-hour<br />
Helpline“ contact center.<br />
In recent years, however, momentum in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease<br />
has slowed dramatically. Pressures on the federal budget caused by a growing deficit<br />
and struggling economy, coupled with large commitments <strong>to</strong> the war in Iraq<br />
and homeland security, have affected Alzheimer research efforts. Over the past five<br />

Are We Losing The Fight Against Alzheimer’s Disease?<br />
Ramsey Places Sharp Focus On <strong>Chapter</strong> Events<br />
8 • Corners<strong>to</strong>ne • Spring 2008<br />
By Steve Olding<br />
Communications Direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
The Alzheimer’s Association <strong>of</strong> Greater Cincinnati<br />
is fortunate <strong>to</strong> have hundreds <strong>of</strong> generous<br />
volunteers serving in various capacities throughout<br />
the year. Although we cannot possibly spotlight<br />
every volunteer in Corners<strong>to</strong>ne, we appreciate<br />
their valuable support and service. In this<br />
issue, we feature Shad Ramsey.<br />
Shad Ramsey describes the last five years<br />
as among the happiest in his life. And he says<br />
his volunteer work with the Alzheimer’s Association<br />
has played an instrumental role in pro-<br />
Shad Ramsey<br />
moting that happiness.<br />
Despite a challenging pr<strong>of</strong>essional schedule that includes operating his own pho<strong>to</strong>graphy<br />
business, Ramsey Pho<strong>to</strong>graphy, he has served the Greater Cincinnati <strong>Chapter</strong><br />
in numerous ways.<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> utilizing his pho<strong>to</strong>graphy skills at various chapter events, he has<br />
served on the planning committees for the chapter’s Memory Walk and Spring Benefit.<br />
“Shad has been a wonderful friend <strong>to</strong> the Association and has played a very important<br />
role in our fundraising efforts,” said <strong>Chapter</strong> Development Direc<strong>to</strong>r Brigid<br />
Mercer. “Shad is simply a great person <strong>to</strong> have in your corner.”<br />
A native <strong>of</strong> San Diego, Mr. Ramsey was the oldest <strong>of</strong> four children in a military<br />
family (his father, Don, served in the U.S. Navy). The family moved frequently until<br />
settling in Day<strong>to</strong>n, Ohio.<br />
“Mom was a good military wife and raised four neat kids. She was like Phyllis<br />
Diller…she was always very funny,” he said.<br />
Mr. Ramsey lost his mother, Jean, <strong>to</strong> Early-Onset Alzheimer’s disease in 1998. The<br />
experience <strong>of</strong> “slowly losing her” had a pr<strong>of</strong>ound impact.<br />
“In 1980, she was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s when she was only 55<br />
years old,” he said. “Mom and dad moved <strong>to</strong> the Fort Worth (Texas) area where the<br />
rest <strong>of</strong> my siblings were living. I was living in Day<strong>to</strong>n at the time so I dealt with things<br />
from a distance. It was difficult.”<br />
An Alzheimer’s Association support group in Day<strong>to</strong>n helped him cope but it was<br />
a pho<strong>to</strong>graphy assignment at a nursing home that provided a life-changing experience<br />
and an eventual move <strong>to</strong> the Cincinnati area.<br />
“I was asked by a family <strong>to</strong> take a picture at their grandmother’s 85th birthday party,<br />
which happened <strong>to</strong> be in an assisted living unit. I was so struck by the improvement in<br />
years, funding for Alzheimer research has actually declined. The shrinking pool<br />
<strong>of</strong> funding is creating a “brain drain” in Alzheimer research as a growing number<br />
<strong>of</strong> researchers begin <strong>to</strong> focus on other diseases.<br />
When President Bush unveiled his FY2009 budget proposal in February,<br />
it painted a bleak picture for the current and future generations <strong>of</strong> Americans<br />
who face Alzheimer’s disease. The President’s budget proposal included cuts <strong>to</strong><br />
all Alzheimer programs, including reductions <strong>to</strong> Alzheimer research through<br />
the NIH.<br />
As our nation continues the process <strong>of</strong> selecting presidential candidates<br />
and ultimately elects a new president in November, it is encouraging <strong>to</strong> note<br />
that health care has been a prominent campaign issue. We can only hope that<br />
the current rhe<strong>to</strong>ric will translate in<strong>to</strong> substantial and effective policy changes<br />
under a new administration.<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> the mental and physical <strong>to</strong>ll on affected individuals and<br />
their caregivers, <strong>Alzheimer's</strong> disease currently costs the United States more than<br />
$100 billion a year in health care costs and lost worker productivity. It also<br />
threatens <strong>to</strong> overwhelm our nation’s health care system and bankrupt Medicare<br />
and Medicaid, if research fails <strong>to</strong> find the answers that will prevent the current<br />
5.1 million Americans with <strong>Alzheimer's</strong> disease from growing <strong>to</strong> a projected<br />
14-16 million by 2050.<br />
This year’s Alzheimer’s Association Public Policy Forum will be held May<br />
12-14 in Washing<strong>to</strong>n, D.C. Hundreds <strong>of</strong> advocates from across the nation will<br />
march on Capi<strong>to</strong>l Hill <strong>to</strong> speak on behalf <strong>of</strong> the millions affected by Alzheimer’s<br />
disease. Even if you can’t attend the forum, you can still play an important<br />
role through letters, phone calls and emails <strong>to</strong> your federal legisla<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
Alzheimer’s disease is a critical threat <strong>to</strong> a growing segment <strong>of</strong> our nation’s<br />
population as well as <strong>to</strong> our nation’s health care system. Today, more than ever,<br />
your help as an advocate is needed. For more on the Alzheimer’s Association or<br />

the level <strong>of</strong> care from the time that my mom passed away in a similar facility. I came<br />
<strong>to</strong> the realization that I wanted <strong>to</strong> work in senior care,” he said.<br />
In 2003, he <strong>to</strong>ok his pho<strong>to</strong>graphy work <strong>to</strong> part-time and joined Sunrise Senior<br />
Living <strong>to</strong> assist with marketing. His work at Sunrise brought him in contact with<br />
families confronting many <strong>of</strong> the same issues that he had experienced in his own<br />
family.<br />
“My work at Sunrise and Right at Home and my volunteer work at the Alzheimer’s<br />
Association have really helped me grow as a person. I think I am the better for it,<br />

Former First Couple <strong>of</strong><br />
Kentucky Join Advocates<br />
Former Kentucky first lady and Miss America Phyllis George joined more than<br />
100 advocates from across Kentucky for the second annual Kentucky Alzheimer’s<br />
Advocacy Day in Frankfort on Jan. 30. Advocates met with their legisla<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong><br />
discuss their concerns.<br />
Serving as emcee <strong>of</strong> an afternoon program in the state capi<strong>to</strong>l rotunda, Ms.<br />
George spoke about the loss <strong>of</strong> her mother <strong>to</strong> Alzheimer’s disease in 2004. She<br />
later welcomed her former husband, former Kentucky Gov. John Y. Brown, who<br />
spoke briefly <strong>to</strong> the audience (pictured <strong>to</strong>gether).<br />
Representatives <strong>of</strong> the Kentucky Alzheimer’s Advisory Council later presented<br />
a report on Alzheimer’s disease, along with a list <strong>of</strong> recommendations, <strong>to</strong> state<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficials and policy makers. State <strong>of</strong>ficials are expected <strong>to</strong> use the report as a<br />
guideline for adopting new policies <strong>to</strong> confront the growing prevalence <strong>of</strong><br />
Alzheimer’s disease in Kentucky and its impact on the state’s health care system.
