go to the doctor for treat-
ment, as well as information
on the diagnosis and medica-
tion.
Gershenzon said that con-
versations with family mem-
bers who are showing signs
of dementia can be challeng-
ing and uncomfortable. The
fear or lack of awareness that
may accompany these con-
versations can result in
delays that have serious con-
sequences for the entire fam-
ily.
Alzheimer’s Association’s
workshops reinforce the need
to plan ahead and build a care
team that communicates well
in order to reduce the stress
that can accompany degener-
ative diseases. In addition,
the workshops can connect
attendees and caregivers with
helpful resources.
The Alzheimer’s Assoc-
iation is the leading volun-
tary health organization in
the care, support and
research into the disease.
Its mission is to eliminate
Alzheimer’s through the
advancement of research; to
provide and enhance care and
support for all affected; and
to reduce the risk of demen-
tia through the promotion of
brain health.

Talent
from 1A
“There’s not a lot of oppor-
tunity in our community for
young children with those tal-
ents to shine,” Holdahl said.
“So once a year they get to
shine at the FEC and show off
the talents that they’ve grown
over their years.”
Included in the program
were piano solos, gymnastics
routines, song performances
and comedic skits.
To finish off the night,
Harklerode serenaded Siuslaw
Middle School Principal Andy
Marohl, dressed in full lunch
lady attire, to the song “Lunch
Lady Land” by comedian
Adam Sandler. The two were
soon joined by other members
of Siuslaw School District
staff dressed as different types
of cafeteria food.
“We live in a very tight-knit
community that is always very
supportive of our schools and
programs inside and outside
that benefit our kids,” Holdahl
said. “The night is a great
chance for the community to
come together and cheer on
the youngest members of the
community.”
