say that middle-
dementia typically lasts two
and it is often charac-
by worsening mental func-
ed confusion and of-
ten-disruptive behaviors. Patients
may suffer delusions ("John is
stealing money from me") or hal-
lucinations (seeing things that no
one else can see), have appetite
swings and sleeping problems and
may experience trouble with their
balance and also engage in rest-
less or repetitive behaviors such
as pacing.
In this dementia stage, inno-
cent phenomena, such as shadows
or bath water, may be perceived
as threatening and the patient
may fail to perceive genuine risk
(leaving the stove on). They may
also show dramatic change in per-
sonal habits such as bathing and
dressing. There is also increased
risk of wandering and the patient
may forget how to get to long-fa-
miliar places or how to do every-
day tasks.
The workshop will help the
caregiver learn to decipher dif-
ficult symptoms, communicate
appropriately and plan for the
future, including anticipating fu-
ture symptoms and needs. There
is no charge for the workshop, but
reservations are required.
For more information or to
make reservations call Lydia Rog-
ers at 1-866-714-0479. For more

ease or related dementias call 1-

Editor, The Herald:
So interesting that when a word
is misused it changes the meaning
of the writer's intent. For example,
the word "retirement" - the time
of someone's life after completing
their working career - as opposed
to the word "resignation," which
is a formal notice of one leaving a
position to go on to something else.
About the word 'raging," or out of
control: My comments regarding
some of our North Mason school
board's actions were strongly word-
ed opinions which are entirely my
own.
As to the extolling of the pres-
ent board's accomplishments, fine,

plishments more correctly need to
Having had children, grandchil-
dren, nieces and nephews in the
North Mason school system since
1954, I have had ample opportuni-
ty to observe the workings of many
boards and the results of their ef-

of three rooms - first, second and
third grades in one room, fourth,
fifth and sixth grades in another,
and seventh and eighth grades in
another - to what we have today
