Honorable Judge Paul E. Fowler Kiwanis Scholarship
Each year’s Kiwanis scholarship applicants who receive the highest scores are awarded the Honorable Judge Paul E. Fowler Kiwanis Scholarship. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of Judge Fowler’s daughter, Jennifer Perry, and her husband, Steve. The judge’s son, Dave Fowler, is also a member of our club.
Judge Paul E. Fowler was a Kiwanian for many years. A native of Portsmouth, he attended Portsmouth High School, and he was a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Business Administration and a Doctorate of Jurisprudence. He served in the U.S. Army in Headquarters Battery 447 AAA-AW-BN and continued in the Army Reserves until the 1960s.
Judge Fowler became a member of the Ohio Bar in 1952 and was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1955. He was State Representative of the Ohio General Assembly from 1948 to 1952 and was Assistant Attorney General for the State of Ohio from 1957-1958. He served as an elected Judge of Probate and Juvenile Courts in Scioto County from 1960-1972.
Judge Fowler believed that educating our youth was critical. He served on the faculty at Scioto Technical College, Shawnee State University and the Ohio University while maintaining his private law practice in Portsmouth.
He was past president of the National Judges Association, past Worthy Patron of Eastern Star, Mason, and Board member of Southeastern Ohio Legal Aid Society. He was a member of the Ohio Judges Association, Ohio State Bar Association, Portsmouth Bar Association and Law Library Association, American Judicature Society, Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth, Farm Bureau Association, American Legion in Portsmouth and Sciotoville, and a member of Wesley United Methodist Church in Portsmouth.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated
to changing the world one child and one community
at a time. We meet every Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m.

Thank you to Dr. Jeremiah Martin, Sr. Medical Director of Thoracic Surgery at Southern Ohio Medical Center, for his excellent presentation on lung cancer awareness. Originally scheduled to speak in-person, he had to schedule a surgery that conflicted with our luncheon on Wednesday, so he did a video presentation which you can watch at www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhUTFfBWwwY.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that lung cancer is the #1 cancer diagnosis in our region? Yet most people with early-stage lung cancer go through their lives with no outward signs and symptoms.
Screenings are available to patients who meet the following criteria: - Age 50-77 - Tobacco smoking history - Current smoker or one who has quit smoking within the last 15 years - 20-pack per year smoking history - No history of lunch cancer - No signs or symptoms of lung cancer
Call the SOMC Lung Health Navigator at 740-356-LUNG for more information.
In addition, free smoking cessation classes are offered year round in-person or online. For more information, call 740-356-8070 or 740-356-8078.
