This means over half of the people in Canada know some- body with Alzheimer's disease and that one in four people see Alzheimer's disease amongst their family members. The disease will affect more than double that number, or three-quarters of a million Canadians, by 2031. Preliminary analysis estimate that there will be 60,000 new cases of dementia per year. "Canada could be facing an Alzheimer's disease crisis in this Goderich on Wednesday, Dec. 27 from 10 a.m. until the time of the service at 11 a.m. Rev. Nicholas Vandermey of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Clinton, offici- ated. Interment will be in -Ball's Cemetery. Donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church would be grate- fully acknowledged as expressions of sympathy, JOHN LEISHMAN John Leishman of RR6, Woodstock, passed away peacefully at Woodstock General Hospital on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2000, in his 56th year. Mr. Leishman was the beloved husband of Millie McCooey. He was the dear father of Angela and Lisa millennium," said Steve Rudin, executive director of the Alzheimer Society of Canada, "and we have to act now to prevent it. With vast numbers of people likely to get this disease," Rudin says, "it's even more urgent for us to find a cause and cure for Alzheimer's disease and develop better methods for diagnosis, care- giving and providing the needed services specific to people with this disease." Huron County is not immune to the rising number of people affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Dementia projections for Huron County estimate a rise from 804 persons affected by dementia in 2001 to 1,204 persons by 2028. Caregivers are eager for any help they can get, including day pro- and stepfather of David, Wayne, Gary and their spouses. He was the beloved grandfather of Sean, Alex and Rylee and step-grandfather to Melissa, Melinda and Cheryl. He will be sadly missed by his parents Jim and Ruby Leishman of Clinton. Mr. Leishman was the dear brother of Frank and Joan Leishman' of Dashwood, Ann and Terry Bauer of Whitechurch, Jim and Marie Leishman of Grand Bend, Jean Leishman of Belgrave, Lois Leishman of Toronto, June and Don Mitchum of South Carolina, Joan and Danny De Felice of Toronto, Allan and Waneta Leishman of Belgrave. He as survived as well by many nieces, nephews and friends. John was predeceased by his brother Bobby Joe. Funeral service was held at the grams, respite, overnight and week- end care. All three levels of the Society (National, Provincial and Local) work together to provide sup- port groups, counselling, informa- tion, services and programs, such as the national Alzheimer Wandering Registry, which helps people return home after wandering. Caregivers are also seeking home- care hours that mesh with their work schedules and increase with the dis- ease's severity — and workers spe- cially trained to care for people with dementia. The Alzheimer Society of Huron County in partnership with Fanshawe College will be offering courses for the Dementia Studies Certificate Program in Huron County this year.
