BY BRETT ROLLER Sun staff After 122 years of serving the community under the name Bethel Building and Loan, the local company will have a new name starting Monday, Jan. 17. The company’s new moniker, Community Savings Bank, is designed to encom- pass recent growth in the com- pany, according to bank President John Essen. Community Savings Bank began offering checking accounts two years ago and now has a full array of check- ing options, including ATM and debit card access, and Internet banking that includes free automatic bill pay servic- es, 24-hour activity monitor- ing, and the ability to make payments to other bank mem- bers online. “These additional services allow us to serve as our client’s primary bank,” Vice President Judi Adams said. Essen said the replacement of Bethel with Community in the name is an effort to recog- nize the bank’s customers beyond the village in Tate Township, Williamsburg, Georgetown, and beyond. The bank continues to be a mutual savings institution, which means each depositor owns a portion of the bank. “Since we have no stock- holders, we are in a better position to support the com- munity,” Essen said. That community support has come in the form of spon- sorship of and leadership in a number of local events over the years. Adams said the company has been involved with Bethel Down Home Christmas, the Bethel 10k Race, and the Bethel Art and Music Festival in recent years. “Our focus is not on quar- terly returns but on returning services and quality products to the community,” Essen said. In addition to checking, those services include savings, money market, certificates, and IRA accounts in addition to the mortgage, construction, and land loans offered by the bank since a group of Bethel community leaders provided the funds to found the bank in 1889.

Senior dogs are the bestpatients we see. They knowyou well, you know themwell, they are smart and sea-soned and worth their weightin gold.They’re also worth special
care to keep them well andhappy for as long as possible.The age your dog hits seniorstatus varies by breed andother factors, so discuss thiswith your veterinarian.The checkups your dog
needs change at this time oflife, and you’ll want to visitmore frequently as your dogages past seven years of age.One particularly wise and sim-ple precaution is to take a lookat pertinent blood values likekidney and thyroid levels.Normal results are great news,meaning a wide range of treat-ments and medications areavailable for your dog if need-ed.Abnormal results are good
in a way, too, because theyguide your veterinarian inmaking appropriate treatmentchoices for your dog’s individ-ual situation. X-rays, urinechecks and other tests canbring huge benefits too.When you and your veteri-
narian know what’s going onin the dog’s body, you canadjust things that often make aworld of difference in how thedog feels and behaves. Theveterinarian’s role is to makethe services available, andyour role is to make decisionsabout what is best for yourdog. Doing this well requiresgood communication so you’llunderstand the pros and consof the options.Changes withAgeSome inherited medicalproblems take their greatesttolls as dogs reach the senioryears, especially if they havenot been previously treated.Some common ones are:1. Hip dysplasia that may
not have bothered the dognoticeably in younger yearsnow may bring some baddays. Depending on the dog’sage and other factors, medica-tion will likely help and sur-gery may be an option. Youcan restructure the dog’s envi-ronment and daily routine toeliminate the need to walk onslick floors, jump up to vehi-cles or furniture, or climb anysubstantial number of steps.2. Other orthopedic prob-
lems due to orthopedicdefects, injuries or osteoarthri-tis may require similar meas-
ures to those needed for hipdysplasia. Work closely withyour veterinarian to learn andstay current on just whatmovements are healthy foryour dog and what movementsare not.3. Hypothyroidism unde-
tected in younger years cancause serious problems in thegeriatric dog. When in doubt,this is one blood test you want.Thyroid medication is a safetreatment with extremely grat-ifying benefits for those dogswho need it.4. Senior dogs are the most
prone dogs to cancers, so haveany lumps or other symptomschecked promptlyMany cancers can be cured
if caught early and in mostcases you can at least havesome good time with the dogto say a loving good-bye.Sometimes treatment can pro-vide a normal lifespan or near-ly so. Usually there are waysto relieve pain and othersymptoms at least for awhile
Normal AgingOld age is not a disease
(cliché from vet school), andany change needs to bechecked. Most things can behelped, at least to the extent ofmaking the dog more comfort-able and sometimes a greatdeal more than that. Somethings can be completelycured.Some dogs get cognitive
dysfunction, evidenced bymental confusion. This couldbe compared to changes thathappen in some humans. Indogs as in people, it doesn’thappen to all of them. Forthose who do experience it,medication can help. Somedegree of change in house-training is normal with aging,too, for a variety of reasons. The dog with cognitive dys-
function may get confusedabout housetraining.Medication may help. The dogwith orthopedic problems mayfind the elimination posturepainful and put it off until con-trol is lost and the dog has anaccident.It may also be too painful
for the dog to make the tripoutside. Medication oftenhelps these dogs. You mayneed to modify how the doggets to the elimination area tomake it less painful (or ideallynot painful at all).Changes in the kidneys,
liver, and other organs as wellas medications needed by thedog can shorten the length oftime the dog can hold bowels
and bladder. Never blame asenior dog for housetrainingaccidents.Never expect that because a
dog could hold it a certainnumber of hours in past years,the dog can do it for life.People change with age inthese same ways. Senior dogsneed and deserve extra carefor their elimination needs.The necessary adjustmentsmay be simple once the prob-lem is identified.Coping SkillsSenior dogs
can keep learning, and theylove to learn! Many of themare the smartest dogs on earth,Teach your senior dog signalsif the dog’s vision is still good.This will serve as a back-up ifhearing fails, which it oftendoes.Signals are fun for dogs and
are a more natural languagefor them than words. Hearingloss can be moderate or pro-found. Grooming will helpyour dog cope with loss ofvision as well as hearing.Handling your dog gently andthoroughly every day will giveyou a language of touchtogether.Your touch will help guide
your dog. Also during thesedaily sessions you check yourdog for any body changes,keep skin and coat in tophealth, and keep your relation-ship with your dog close andloving.Grooming done every day
won’t hurt, because the dogwon’t have tangles. Start thisas early in your dog’s life aspossible. Teach your seniordog composure, with Stay andSettle exercises (Downs with-out Sits—Sits can hurt) andtraining that gives the dogsafer targets for human affec-tion than jumping up. It’s quitesimple to teach a dog to go topeople’s knees for petting, byputting your hands at yourknees when you call your dog,and instructing everyone elsewho pets the dog to do thesame.If your dog needs help get-
ting up or walking now andthen, there are various devicesavailable. A simple one whenonly moderate help is neededis a padded nylon chest har-ness. This must be a nonre-strictive harness, NOT a har-ness designed to prevent a dogfrom pulling on leash. Workclosely with your veterinarianwhen your dog is on a specialdiet for a medical condition.Your veterinarian needs toknow if the dog won’t eat the
food or has other problemswith it. The dog’s weightneeds to be checked and regu-larly noted in a medical log.Every single bite that goesinto your dog’s mouth is partof the dog’s “diet,” so be surenot to ruin the benefits of aspecial diet with off-plan dogtreats or people food.
Saying Good-ByeThere is no good day to lose
a good dog, but time to say aloving good-bye is a blessing.Try to make the decision thedog would want, if the dogcould know what you know.That leads to the best deci-sions in these matters.Think carefully about the
timing of a new dog. Endingyour senior dog’s life happilyis top priority. Some olderdogs will enjoy the companyof a dog a few years youngeror a pup, while others wouldhate it. You don’t want thecare of the senior to keep youfrom doing a good job oftraining the newbie, or thetraining of the newbie to keepyou from giving the senior thegood care so richly deserved.If at all possible, try to avoidgetting your dogs too closetogether in age. Losing themclose together is even harderon you.Be kind to yourself when
you lose your senior dog, andseek the company of peoplewho understand this kind ofloss. At All creatures, Januaryis senior pet month andFebruary is pet dental month.We celebrate these events atAll Creatures with 2 specialoffers which will save youmoney on your pet’s dentaland preventative health care.We have some great preventa-tive care packages gearedtowards geriatric dogs andcats to screen for problemsand prevent medical issuesthis month.

Theypass too quickly, and they arewonderful times.Senior dogs are the best. It’s
the time in a dog’s life whenthe love ripens, the intelli-gence blossoms, and you havethe companionship of a won-derful friend. Make every daycount.

Johnson said she would alsolike to see merit based payraises but the current employ-ee handbook does not providethat option.“It’s been something I’ve
prayed upon,” Johnson said.
“I’ve said this a thousandtimes, if you don’t havesomething in black and whitewe can’t just pick and choosepeople to give raises to.”Council members Gunn,
Ireton, Johnson, and TimCherry voted for the raisewhile Whitley voted against.The raises are retroactivebeginning Jan. 1.Council also held the first
reading of a resolution tochange the village cellphonepolicy. The new policy wouldprovide a flat stipend foremployees who carry cell-phones instead of providing
phones to those employees.The resolution calls for astipend of $45 for administra-tors and $25 for additionalemployees. Gunn said reim-bursing employees for usingtheir personal phones wouldsave the village about $200per month.

If you’re preparing to sell your house, start bydoing a few simple things that will make yourhouse seem more appealing and increase itsvalue to prospective buyers.
Check off the items on this handy checklist tohelp you evaluate your home and decide whatwill need work. Remember when you are ready,our experienced sales specialists can help youlocate prime prospects and get the priceyou’re looking for.
Given the economic cli-mate we’re in, you may oneday be faced with a downsiz-ing or otherwise forced toretire earlier than you hadplanned.But even if that happens,
you can still maintain controlof your financial future — ifyou make the right moves. Unfortunately, many of us
are ill prepared for eventssuch as forced early retire-ment.In 2009, more people filed
for Social Security than anyyear in history, with a bigincrease in the numberreceiving reduced benefitsbecause they filed beforetheir full retirement age.
And they paid a heavyprice, too — 62-year-oldworkers who filed for bene-fits early lost about 25 per-cent of their monthly benefitsover waiting until their “full”retirement age of 66, accord-ing to the Social SecurityAdministration.Of course, if you are forced
to take an early retirement,you, too, may need to tap intoyour Social Security earlierthan you planned.But that’s just the begin-
ning — you might also needto start withdrawals fromyour IRA and your 401(k) orother employer-sponsoredretirement plan, even thoughyou had planned on leaving
those accounts intact for afew more years. And that’swhy you won’t want to waituntil early retirement is thrustupon you before takingaction. While you’re stillworking, consider thesesteps:• Boost your contributions
to retirement plans. Put asmuch as you can possiblyafford into your 401(k) orother employer-sponsoredplan. Every time your salarygoes up, try to increase theamount you contribute toyour retirement plan. Also,contribute regularly to yourtraditional or Roth IRA.• Be prepared to rebalance
your portfolio. If you’re fac-ing a forced early retirement,or even if you think it’s apossibility, you may want torebalance your portfolio toprovide more opportunitiesfor income.Talk to your financial advi-
sor about income strategiesappropriate for your particu-lar situation. • Build up cash accounts.
Even during “normal” times,it’s a good idea to keep anemergency fund, in cash orother liquid vehicles, con-taining six to 12 months’worth of living expenses. Ifyou suspect a forced earlyretirement is heading yourway, try to beef up your cashholdings as much as possible. • Repay any 401(k) loans.
Once you’ve left youremployer, you may be forcedto repay a 401(k) loan withintwo months — an obvioushardship during a stressfultime. • Work part-time. Even if
you were forced to retirefrom one job, it doesn’t meanyou couldn’t find another.This might be the perfect
time to take a part-time job inan area in which you’vealways wanted to work. • Get some help. By con-
sulting with a professionalfinancial advisor, you mayfind that you actually canafford to retire early.A financial advisor can
help you develop thoseincome and spending strate-gies that are appropriate foryour situation. And the earlier you get this
type of help, the moreoptions you ultimately mayhave.You may not be able to
avert an unwanted, earlyretirement, but by preparingfor it, as far in advance aspossible, you can improveyour chances of maintainingthe retirement lifestyleyou’ve envisioned.
