Profiles Gerry Kowalski

Staying Present, Maintaining Balance

By Erin Holden Gerry Kowalski created a distinguished career for himself as a civil trial attorney, all while managing a rich life outside of work. A practicing Buddhist for over 47 years, Kowalski uses the principles of staying present in all things to create balance within his life.

He plays chess, studies Russian literature, cooks and travels as much as he can. Though he has no plans to retire in the near future, he would like to create more room for these pursuits, as well as mentorship of young lawyers.

Future Plans

“Eventually, I would like to slow my practice down over the coming years,” says Kowalski. “Being a litigator and a trial lawyer can be a very stressful and, sometimes, time consuming occupation. I’d like to continue to work with younger lawyers in my firm that are interested in being

litigators and trial lawyers, by mentoring them.”

When Kowalski thinks about slowing down to focus on his passions outside of law, he has plenty of interests to continue cultivating. “I would like to take up cooking on a more serious level,” he says. “I do a little bit of cooking and baking now and always have, but I would really like to attack that more seriously. I am also an amateur birdwatcher, so I’d love to do more of that as well.”

Kowalski has a couple of articles he’s been working on over the years that he’d like to have the time to finish, including an exploration of the friendship between Scopes Monkey Trial attorney Clarence Darrow and former Toledo mayor Brand Whitlock.

He shares his goals and wellearned wisdom at right.

I have always wanted to: Go to Poland. It’s where all of my grandparents were born.

all while working, and establishing a legal career is my proudest accomplishment.

What have been your biggest passions, outside of work, over the years?

I’ve been a practicing Buddhist for 47 years. I believe it’s made me a much better human being and a good lawyer. I’m also passionate about my family and about reading.

What are the words you live by?

Never give up. Change the impossible to possible. Winter always turns to spring.

What inspires you most?

Hope and optimism, and that the world can and will be a better place.

What are your favorite ways to stay active? I do 40 minutes of cardio daily. I also think mental exercise is important. For that I play chess.

Most interesting place you’ve visited: The province of Xi’an in China and Yosnaya Polyana, the Tolstoy estate south of Moscow.

A place you’d like to visit, but have never had the chance: Japan.

What do you admire in people?

Optimism and the ability to listen to one another are qualities that are really important.

Your proudest accomplishment: Finishing night law school while working full-time. I received the Dean’s Award, which is given to one student who’s contributed to the environment of the school. My ability to finish school with good grades,

Who do you most admire?

Judge Ted Walinski, who was a mentor to me in so many ways. Also, the present mentor of our Buddhist movement Aisaku Ikeda, who is important because I can rely on him for good advice on how to live and be a good human being.

and other health issues that significantly affect quality of life. Hospice of Northwest Ohio Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director Dr. Marsha Paul considers palliative care to be “an underused service,” possibly because people aren’t as aware of its benefits as they are about those of hospice.

“Palliative care services are done in the hospital, at home, or in clinics,” explains Dr. Paul. “And it’s a team approach that involves a social worker and an RN care coordinator— someone who is answering the phone and helping to make sure your questions are answered.”

Your first visit may be with a physician, but you could have follow-ups with a nurse practitioner or a social worker to determine if you’re eligible for Meals on Wheels and other supplemental programs to promote wellness. It’s a holistic approach that involves many intersecting healthcare professionals.

Take Control of Your Healthcare Journey Hospice versus Palliative Care

By Erin Holden

Dr. Marsha Paul, Hospice of Northwest Ohio Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director

Quinn clarifies that people “don’t have to be in the last days or weeks of life to qualify for hospice care. Our care is about living well in the time you have left. The sooner you call us, the better you’ll live,” she says, adding that hospice patients live longer and feel a sense of control over their lives. Hospice services also provide a break for full-time caregivers and the patient’s family. You can also leave hospice and return as needed. There is flexibility when it comes to receiving hospice care and palliative care.

No need to wait

Taking care of a loved one with a serious illness can be a confusing time that leads to a number of high-stakes questions. Do they require end-of-life care? Do healthcare plans provide for long term treatment? What are the options?

Local services can help to answer these tough questions relating to both palliative care and hospice, two healthcare options with differences and distinctions that are often not fully understood. We talked with two local experts to delineate the differences between these two care approaches, as well as expectations for you or your loved one who may require one (or both) of these services.

Palliative care

ProMedica Senior Care Director of Palliative Care Services Mary Beth Quinn, BSN, RN, CHPN, explains that palliative care offers a broad scope of care in conjunction with curative treatments for people with long term, serious illness. “You can continue to receive chemotherapy for cancer while the palliative team will assist you as you manage the side effects of your treatments,” Quinn says. “Palliative care can also be provided contemporaneously with home

What’s the Difference?

Hospice: Comfort care provided to terminally ill patients who have been given six months to live and have ceased curative treatments. It is covered in full by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plsns.

Palliative Care: Care offered to patients with longterm, serious illnesses that also supports curative treatments. A patient need not have a terminal prognosis to receive palliative care. Cost coverage can vary widely depending on your healthcare plan.

health services if the patient qualifies and would benefit from those services as well.” It’s important to check with your individual healthcare plan to determine whether the care you receive will be paid in full, or if you can expect a co-pay for each visit.

Besides cancer, other serious long term illnesses that may make patients good candidates for palliative care include ALS, heart disease, COPD,

Hospice

While hospice also has a teambased approach to treating patients, it is specifically for terminally ill patients. “Hospice care is appropriate for patients with a life-limiting condition who are no longer seeking curative treatment, and they have a prognosis of six months or less to live,” says Quinn, adding that there are other factors to be considered to evaluate eligibility. Multiple ER visits and hospitalizations, unintentional weight loss, altered mental status and other factors will be looked at when considered as an option.

Payment for hospice is covered in full by both Medicare and Medicaid.

Most insurances and the Veteran’s Administration plans often cover hospice care in full, or minimal copayments may be required.

www.mlivingnews.com

Dr. Paul wishes that people would learn about their options sooner.

“The sooner you get on one of the programs, the better,” she says. “The sooner you’re seen by palliative care about symptoms, then the better we can help get those symptoms under control so you can have a better quality of life. Then, if that person’s condition becomes terminal, the nurse practitioners recognize, and can suggest, that it might be time to switch over to hospice. That provides input for the patient from professionals with a relationship with the patient, so he/ she is not quite as afraid.”

It’s empowering to be educated about hospice and palliative care rather than waiting with avoidant trepidation for a physician to suggest end-of-life options. Helping yourself, or your loved one, take control of their own healthcare journey is always preferable to being unknowing and fearful of what is to come.

What most families need are supportive teams found within palliative and hospice care, both of which are available locally.

What’s the funniest thing a patient has asked you? A patient after having knee surgery one day prior asked me if he could start running the next day.....I get quite a few of these questions.

Slow down and let’s rehab a bit first.

You’d be surprised to know that: Physical therapists do not enjoy causing people pain, it’s just part of the process to get to being pain-free again.

I wish my patients didn’t…. Search the internet for a cure to what is bugging them. It just causes more issues and sets expectations for them before we even meet.

What is the most important part of your morning routine? Before I get ready for work I enjoy some relaxing time in my hot tub and it helps me set the mood for the day.

Why did you pick your specialty?

I am fascinated with reflexology, I love that I can help more clients working with their feet.

Virtual reality, or VR, can leverage reality technologies to make changes in the therapy world. VR is an enlarged realitybased therapy exercise for motor and cognitive training that not only provides fundamental elements of motor learning, but also a virtual environment for motivation and attention.

With VR, you interact with the virtual world in three dimensions, providing a more immersive experience that utilizes more of your senses and brain power. This helps you to rebuild those neurological pathways for improved balance and walking ability. Our Balance and Mobility (BAM) staff members know how and when to best utilize each application for each patient.

Each of these exercises in VR is utilized to work on different areas of the body for neuromuscular reeducation, with repetitive practice of motor function. It also engages and stimulates cognitive processes at the same time, as decisions are made in real time and constant adaptation is required.

VR may be used in many different cases, from focusing on gait mechanics, to dynamic standing balance and postural stability, improving range of motion and fine motor skills of the hand/upper extremity.

WE ALL DESERVE TO FEEL BETTER IN 2021

You’re invited to get relief now and feel the difference with PT Link Physical Therapy

The great part about utilizing VR is that we can control the environment. The various applications of VR allow our BAM staff to provide immersive distraction and to give a better quality of life with a new, exciting experience in a “real world.” It has been successfully used for patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, Parkinson’s, imbalance, vestibular and orthopedic conditions.

Our clinic director, Dan Sandy, PT, DPT, assistant director, physical therapist and board certified specialist in Neurologic physical therapy Melissa Miller, MPT and Stacey Miles, OTR/L, all utilize VR for more effective outcomes of physical and occupational therapy needs that are motivational for the patient.

“Virtual Reality has been a new treatment intervention that we have introduced in various concepts over the past couple of years that allows for increased motivation for therapy making it more fun, yet allowing for repetitive practice to achieve desired outcomes of therapy,” explains Miller.

ST. LUKE’S IS NOW MCLAREN ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL

McLaren Health Care, a 14 hospital system based in Grand Blanc, Mich., has acquired St. Luke’s Hospital in Maumee.

McLaren is making significant investments in St. Luke’s, including building a cancer center, an orthopedic center and upgrading the hospital’s infrastructure.

2021

Planning for the world after 2020 A worldwide pandemic, a contentious national election and a renewed examination of racism in America, accompanied by hurricanes, fires and even murder hornets, made 2020 a once-in-a-lifetime year. “The hardest thing for people to get used to in 2020 was the lack of predictability,” explained Matt Rizzo, CEO and president of A Renewed Mind, a Toledo based mental health treatment center. “While we learned to adapt, the problem was that there was no end in sight.”

But 2020 provided us with some benefits as well – a chance to try new things, to appreciate our family and friends, to be more reflective, more introspective, more grateful. Those new habits can lead to beneficial perspectives for 2021 and beyond.

Finding gratitude in everything

Gratitude – for love, friendship, traditions, even the promise of a beautiful morning – can result in calm today, and longer-lasting benefits. Gratitude benefits many areas of an individual’s life, including developing patience, improved relationships, self-care, sleep, willpower, reduced depression and improved happiness. We talked with folks around Toledo who explained that gratitude has been helpful in working through 2020, and the feeling contributes to their resolutions for 2021.

Make time for yourself

New Year’s resolutions for 2021 tend to be more introspective than previous years. Prioritizing family, reading more and perfecting your kitchen skills have likely come from the extended periods of quarantining that marked the last year.

Matt Rizzo

by Julie Pompa In this year, it’s about purposefully finding time for yourself, as suggested by these Toledoans: Matt Rizzo, A Renewed Mind:

Spend 10 minutes or more of quiet time each day, to shut things off, get centered and plan the day.

Tamara D. Willingham, CEO, Tamara TCM Wellness Clinic:

Resolve to stay healthy, handle pain naturally and be conscious about overall health.

Plan to help out

Volunteerism is a self-satisfying way to help the community. In 2020, new volunteers filled in for traditional volunteers who often were unable to leave the house. The need for volunteers continues this year as programs and services expand. Participating as a volunteer can be a good resolution to continue – or to begin.

Being helpful to others can extend to the animal world. In 2020 dog adoptions soared, to clear shelters before they had to close and to provide individuals with companions.

Those trends are expected to continue in 2021.

Local resolutions include: Billie Johnson, President/CEO of the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio: Create

Venturing from home was difficult in 2020 and remains challenging.

Resolutions to adapt can include taking car trips (for an hour or a week) or planning a trip that you may or may not be able to take.

Locally, many have sought refuge wandering the woods and prairies of our Metroparks, which recently won the national Gold Medal Award for best large park system in the country.

If wandering takes you indoors, the Toledo Museum of Art offers a safe and healthy setting for exploring the world through art, and the opportunity to find a favorite work of art with new eyes.

Resolutions for benefitting the community: Scott Carpenter, Director of PP, Metroparks Toledo:

Uphold the trust of the community to deliver on our promises while continuing to provide safe outdoor places.

Larry Nichols, Senior Curator, Toledo Museum of Art: Stay

positive because the future will be better, and take the chance to be inspired by art.

meaningful connections.

Jennifer Herbert, Board President, Planned Pethood:

Actively listen to the community and then act to support the needs and welfare of all the animals.

Health Who is this person taking care of me?

Local health systems utilize ‘hospitalist’ approach

By Jason Webber Dr. Steven Zook (right) is a hometown product and a University of Toledo Medical College graduate who works at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. He’s also a member of what has been called “the fastest growing specialty in the history of modern medicine”—hospitalists.

What is a hospitalist?

Coined in 1996, the term “hospitalist” is defined as “a dedicated in-patient physician who works exclusively in a hospital.” Dr. Zook helpfully expands on this basic definition. “Hospitalists are focused around a site of care as opposed to an organ system or specific disease. We’re a bit more of a jack of all trades,” said Zook, who has been a hospitalist for almost eight years.

Zook cites the advantage of the hospitalist system of medical care for streamlining communication between a hospitalized patient and their primary care physician. In traditional hospital settings, a physician would typically make rounds, or visits to hospitalized patients, at the hospital before tending to their regular work schedule. Under the hospitalist model, the physician works for the hospital full-time so their attention is focused solely on individual care of each patient.

“I like to manage and know a little about everything. Something I really like about hospital medicine is the variety-- I may have a patient with heart failure then I move on and I treat a patient with pneumonia and I move on to my next patient and I diagnose a lymphoma, and so on. It keeps things new and engaging and fresh for me,” said Zook, who says 40 to 50 percent of the patients he sees are 65 and older. “We take geriatric medicine very seriously,” explains Zook. “I see patients living longer and needing more complex medical care. As the population ages and the proportion of that changes, hospitalists become more important.”

January 2021

Local hospitals employ hospitalists

Locally, both ProMedica and Mercy Health Systems use the hospitalist model. According to Zook, the real advantage of using hospitalists is to ensure fast and accurate communication between a patient and their primary care physician. The hospitalist system is becoming the standard way a patient is admitted into the hospital, since primary care physicians aren’t always able to examine and decide to admit their patients before they are hospitalized.

Yes, there are drawbacks, as patients often would prefer to interact with their primary care physician during a hospital stay. Primary care physicians generally have a personal relationship with the patient and that is reassuring while providing a consistency of care.

Zook says hospitalists are the next best thing.

“Of course, it would be ideal to make your family doctor take care of you during your acute illness, but at this point with electronic medical records, the communication between hospitalists and primary care physicians is really seamless in care delivery,” said Zook. “If the ER decides to admit you into the hospital, by default it is a hospitalist, working for the hospital, who is going to admit you. Nationally, the trend is by far moving to a hospitalist model.”

As the term “hospitalist” becomes more well-known, Zook admires those who do the work he does, calling them the “front line.” “(Hospitalists) have been around for about 25 years, but we’re still kind of unknown by the general public. But what we do is very important work.”

Take off a few pounds after the holidays

Zanes

by Kyle Alison Cubbon Happy New Year! Did you eat your way through the holidays and now want to shed a few pounds while still enjoying restaurant fare? Diets and restaurants are not necessarily incompatible.

Use these tips for making healthy choices at restaurants. Drink water, split meals, pick salads full of vegetables with dressing on the side, be mindful of calories and resign your membership in the “clean plate club.”

Be mindful of hidden calories which are often found in sauces, cheeses, fried foods, bread baskets and salads packed with meats and cheeses.

Other ways to limit the calories while eating restaurant food include requesting steamed vegetables with a squeeze of lemon; asking the server, when the food arrives at your table, to immediately pack half of your meal in a go box; order fish; ask the kitchen to hold buttery sauces; eat less during the day if you are going out for dinner; skip dessert; chew slowly; select local restaurants that serve healthy food more prone to allow you to follow your diet.

Here is a list of locally-owned restaurants serving up some healthy, calorielimited options. These local restaurants are proud of their food and want you to learn, so ask if you’re not sure.

Home January Home Maintenance

Add these home maintenance tips to your 2021 Resolutions

By Lisa Alleman The holidays are behind us once again along with December’s flurry of activity and family focus.

As we begin another year, the care of our homes is a worthwhile focus. These January Home Maintenance tips will help you start the year out right!

Avoid the drip

Bruce Wixey, owner of Wixey Home Contracting of Monclova, advises that an easy way to avoid emergency repairs is to manage the water that is shed from your home. Check that gutters are clear and that water is draining away from the house. Making sure that all pipes are able to withstand single digit temperatures combined with double digit winds may keep a costly repair at bay. Being proactive can be as simple as opening a vanity door to let the warm air of the house circulate around a vulnerable pipe. Covering a pipe with some extra insulation or turning a space heater on will keep the wind chills from giving you a rough start to the new year.

Let it snow

We haven’t had many megastorms in recent years, certainly none of the magnitude of the Blizzard of ‘78, but if extreme winter weather does strike, will you be prepared? To avoid an emergency situation, make sure your furnace and humidifier are serviced and filters are changed.

Placing a snow shovel by the doorway, gassing up the snowblower and having an ample supply of snow melt products will keep you ready.

Read the label carefully on snow melt products to avoid harm to concrete or your pets.

Post-holiday Rx

Common areas of the house can become unkempt during holiday festivities. Clear out your refrigerator. Toss holiday leftovers and expired food and wipe down those shelves! If your oven and stovetop did a little overtime, this is a great time to give them a deep clean. Using a degreasing cleaner will give your entire kitchen a wonderful shine.

According to Toby Barta of Lake Chem Dry, residential carpet and flooring are subject to more wear and tear than usual, due to people being home more than ever.

Facing the upcoming winter months inside, commit to cleaning and sanitizing flooring as a healthy course of action.

January home maintenance may not sound like an exciting New Year’s Resolution, but accomplishing these suggestions will give you a sense of satisfaction and a safer, healthier home.

DIY kitchen degreaser and cleaner:

2 cups hot water 2 tablespoons Dawn (original blue) dish soap n 1/2 cup Borax n 1/2 cup vinegar n n

No objections to Toledo Opera’s return

Toledo Opera announced revisions to its planned 2021 performance schedule, now planning to return to in-person stage performances with a double bill of legally-inspired shows. On April 16, 17 and 18, the Opera will perform Scalia/Ginsburg, an acclaimed 2015 opera inspired by the relationship between the two late Supreme Court Justices.

The show will be one half of a double bill also featuring the Gilbert and Sullivan one-act Trial by Jury. Toledo Opera had previously announced performances of The Merry Widow and The Grand Tour for early 2021, but those shows have now been indefinitely postponed.

Shifting Boxes, Shifting Ideas

By Marti Healy There were more than 8,000 of them, in nearly 500 cartons. Almost 11,000 pounds. And over the course of 6 days or so, I shifted them all.

As an independent author, I warehouse all my own books at my home.

Up until last week, they were primarily on pallets under a covered carport.

But after some slight renovations and reinforcements to an old existing storage shed at the back of my property, I was able to shift all my “warehoused” books (all eight titles of them) into the shed, and away from the carport (now happily functioning as a new patio space).

And yet, as an independent woman, it never seems to occur to me when I start these projects that I’m no longer in my 20s, or even my 30s, when I could lift half my own body weight without a twinge. So it took days longer than I had anticipated to accomplish my goal, plus the eventual assistance of a very generous neighbor who pitched in at the end to help me heft the last few boxes onto the highest levels.

Besides providing a great deal of personal satisfaction, I found the project to be a rather profound experience in applied philosophy.

Stuffing books, and opinions

Books, all books, everyone’s books are human experience and thoughts; they’re observations and ideas put into words and images on paper, bound by glue and opinion, folded together with expression, stitched into place with threads of cotton and perspective. And I began to suspect that it was easier to shift all 11,000 pounds of these boxes and books of ideas and opinions, than it is to shift even one opinion or belief in one other person’s mind.

Scientists have done studies showing

January 2021

how our beliefs involve many parts of the mind as well as the body (not simply one part of the brain as was once thought). They have learned that our beliefs are “fluid” capable of changing and growing and maturing. Beliefs are known to be highly experiential, based in childhood, and influenced by what we’re told as well as what we witness.

‘‘

Our beliefs can affect every part of our being, from our physical bodies to our emotional health; from our outward behavior to individual cells within our bodies. Beliefs can also affect our health and resilience; they help us to love and let us see beauty and shape our dreams as we sleep.

‘‘

Powerful beliefs

Our beliefs can affect every part of our being, from physical to emotional, from our outward behavior to our individual cells, influencing how we think and act and affecting our health and resilience; they help us love and let us break our hearts; they let us see beauty where others may not, and shape our dreams as we sleep. Our beliefs and opinions influence how we make decisions and how we taste our food, how we decorate our homes and how we raise our children.

And yet, we hold the power to revoke or change any one of our own beliefs or opinions at will, at any given moment. And we may form a new belief just as promptly, with just the beat of a heart.

I suspect that in our current global reality, we have never had so many opportunities for forming opinions and beliefs and ideas than we do right now. But after physically shifting over 10 thousand pounds of ideas by myself during this past week, I suspect that sharing the load, lifting together, aligning with another’s generosity of spirit, is a perfectly brilliant way for achieving the same goal and reaching even greater heights. Perhaps this can be so even if the opinions belong to someone else, perhaps even when they exist as almost half a thousand boxes, all holding another’s way of thinking and believing and feeling.
