Rec Department eyes grant for dog park

Downtown cleanup set

By Becky Brooks

Managing Editor

The Committee to Grow Bellevue invites the public to a fall clean-up of downtown on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Those participating will meet in the city parking lot next to the Bellevue Fire Department on Southwest Street. Those volunteering are invited to stay afterwards to join the committee for a lunch downtown. For more information call 419-2171416.

Bellevue City Council approved two resolutions in one night Tuesday one of which gives the local Rec Department the chance to apply for a grant that could be used for a new dog park. Rec Director Mark Weisenberger asked the council to approve Resolution R11-13 as an emergency with three readings so he could

apply for $7,500 from the Sandusky County Park District’s 2014 grant program. He reported the deadline was in early December and he was seeking the money for a local dog park. Weisenberger commented that there has been interest in a dog park in the community and locations are being reviewed even before the department had applied for this grant. Councilwoman

Peggy Missler questioned whether the Rec Department would go ahead with a dog park if the city did not receive grant funding from the county park district. Weisenberger said he planned to try and find funding even if the grant is declined. The council approved that legislation as an emergency so it is immediately in effect. The other resolution approved by the council

Tuesday night was the annual legislation to confirm real estate tax collections from the counties, according to city auditor Steve Smith. In other business, Safety Service Directory Jeffrey Crosby reported he had received the last bills for grinding out stumps - left by damage from the July 10 storm. He added he would be submitting the city’s total expense soon to seek a grant from the state

to cover 75 percent of Bellevue’s city expenses for recovery. Crosby also reported that he had good news in that the city’s health insurance rates will not be increasing in 2014 for employees. He added that the city also has gained to holidays on payments in the month of December and January - it does not have to pay the premiums. See PARK | 2

Volunteers at the Bellevue Fish and Loaves Food Pantry, 203 Maple St., said so far the reduction in monthly SNAP allowances has not resulted an increase in patrons using the local pantry. Les Sherman, a board member for the pantry, explained, “It just happened Nov. 1.” Ohioans lost $193 million which had boosted funds going into the the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - formally known as the USDA Food Stamp Program. Estimates are that a family of three, two of which would be children, could lose $30 a month in SNAP support as a result of the reduction. “It probably will have an affect,” Sherman said Wednesday as patrons were standing outside the door waiting for Fish and Loaves to open at 1 p.m. This will not be the first decrease in food funding to families that Fish and Loaves has seen. The agency is noting its 30th anniversary this year. With 12 board members and other volunteers, the food pantry assisted nearly 13,500 people in 2012, according its website.

Fish and Loaves board member Charlotte Waskielis stands at the counter Wednesday behind items being prepared for pantry patrons. The local pantry saw 111 Loaves workers will be handfamilies last week alone. This ing out Thanksgiving baskets month, the pantry has only on Monday, Nov. 25 to 363 famithree Wednesdays that it will lies, who have signed up for be distributing food due to the distribution, the volunteers the Thanksgiving holiday, on reported. Nov. 28. That week, Fish and Volunteer Larry Ocker said

that officials at the the regional pantry which serves Bellevue are concerned about the U.S. Farm Bill. SNAP (food stamps) are funded in the United States as part of that bill, which is still being reviewed in Congress. Bellevue’s Fish and Loaves is served by Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio, which also provides food to more than 100 soup kitchens, pantries and shelters. Forty to 50 percent of the food stuffs distributed to local pantry patrons come through Second Harvest, Sherman pointed out. “We buy locally the rest of the stock,” he added. The local pantry has a budget of between $100,000 to $110,000 annually. Those funds provide basic supplies to an average of about 340 families monthly. Ocker said Fish and Loaves solicits support from the community and local businesses. Board member Charlotte Waskielis said on Wednesday that the local pantry has long had strong support for its mission. She added she had just received a check to the pantry from an insurance agency in

T A C L O B A N , Philippines — A rundown, single-story building with filthy floors at Tacloban’s ruined airport has become the area’s main medical center for victims of last week’s powerful typhoon. It has little medicine, virtually no facilities and very few doctors. What it is not short of are patients. Hundreds of injured people, pregnant women, children and the elderly have poured into the squat, white building behind the control tower since Typhoon Haiyan

ravaged the eastern Philippines on Friday, killing thousands. Doctors who have been dealing with cuts, fractures and pregnancy’ complications said Wednesday they soon expect to be treating more serious problems such as pneumonia, dehydration, diarrhea and infections. The medical woes add to the daunting tasks for authorities, including dealing with looters and clearing the bottlenecks holding up thousands of tons of aid material from coming in. “The priority has got to be, let’s get the food in, let’s get the water in.

WASHINGTON — Putting a statistic on disappointment, the Obama administration revealed Wednesday that fewer than 27,000 people signed up for private health insurance last month in the 36 states relying on a problem-filled federal website. States running their own enrollment systems did better, signing up more than 79,000, for a total enrollment of over 106,000. Still, that was barely one-fifth of the nearly 500,000 people administration officials had projected would sign up the first month of Obama’s signature program, a numerical rebuke to the administration’s ability to deliver on its promise. The 106,185 people who made it all the way through to selecting a plan represent just 1.5 percent of the 7 million people the administration hopes to enroll by next year. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said things will get better, and quickly. “There is no doubt the level of interest is strong,” she said. The administration

said an additional 1 million or so applicants have been found eligible for government-subsidized private coverage in new state-level insurance markets, and about half are within sight of having their plans lined up for the start of next year. An additional 396,000 have been found eligible for Medicaid, the safety-net program that is shaping up as the health care law’s early success story. The numbers landed amid a political storm on Capitol Hill. Democrats who had hoped to run for re-election next year on the success of the health care law are increasingly worried. It’s not only the website woes, but a wave of cancellation notices hitting constituents whose individual health insurance policies don’t measure up to the law’s requirements. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has scheduled an all-Democrats meeting Thursday with White House health care officials. The administration has staked its credibility on turning the website around by the end of this month. From the president on down, officials have said that HealthCare.gov will be running smoothly for the vast majority of users by Nov. 30.

Some outside experts are concerned. “People are starting to get nervous because there is not enough indication from the government that things are on track,” said Caroline Pearson, who runs the health reform practice at Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. “You wonder if there are still underlying programming problems that are causing the system to shut down when volume is high.” Administration officials have not specified what “running smoothly” means, or what would constitute the “vast majority” of users. On daily media calls, Health and Human Services department officials have described a situation where problems get fixed and then new issues crop up as consumers are able to venture further into the website. It’s a bit like traffic heading back to a city late on a summer Sunday: You get past one jam, and odds are you run into another. There was a hopeful sign this Tuesday when Julie Bataille, HHS communications director for the rollout, said that 275,000 people who got hung up in the early days are being invited back to try to complete their See HEALTH | 2

New guidelines issued for obesity

From page A1 Northeast Ohio. “Everybody gets a handwritten thank you note,” she pointed out. Sherman said that even before the recent SNAP cut, the pantry had been seeing new people at its door weekly. Although the agency has not yet seen a spike as a result of Ohio cuts to SNAP funds, Ocker commented that the agency has dipped into its surplus funds to get through already this year. Those needing assistance from Fish & Loaves Food Pantry can visit its Facebook site or www. b el l ev u e f i s h a n d l o ave s . com.

ATLANTA (AP) — Next time you go for a checkup, don’t be surprised if your doctor gets on your case about your weight. The medical profession has issued new guidelines for fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic, and they urge physicians to be a lot more aggressive about helping patients drop those extra pounds. Doctors should calculate your body mass index, a weight-to-height ratio. And if you need to lose weight, they should come up with a plan and send you for counseling. “We recognize that telling patients to lose weight is not enough,” said Dr. Donna Ryan, co-chair of the guidelines committee.

The good news? By next year, most insurance companies are expected to cover counseling and other obesity treatments, following in the steps of the Medicare program, which began paying for one-onone help last year. More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, and that’s been the case since the middle of the last decade. Officials define someone with a BMI of 30 or higher as obese. A 5-foot-9 person would be obese at 203 pounds. Doctors are well aware that excess weight can trigger diabetes and lead to heart disease and other health problems. Yet surveys have shown that only about a third of obese

patients recall their doctor talking to them about their BMI or counseling them about weight loss. The guidelines were released this week by a group of medical organizations that include the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and the Obesity Society. They come amid a spate of important developments in the fight against obesity. Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved two more obesity-fighting drugs. And this year, the AMA labeled obesity a disease, a measure intended to get doctors to pay more attention to the problem and prod more insurers to pay for treatments.

Death Notice LAWSON Jeffery Lawson,48, of Bellevue, died away Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013 at the University of Toledo Medical Center. Friends will be received on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013 from 1 p.m. until a funeral service begins at 4 p.m. at Foos and Foos Funeral Service, 151 Yorkshire Place, Bellevue.

Health From page A1 applications. The administration is sending the email invitations in batches, so as not to risk any disruptions. White House chief technology officer Todd Park told Congress on Wednesday that system response times are much faster, and error rates have plunged. But other signals have raised questions. In a blog post on Saturday, Bataille quoted chief White House troubleshooter Jeff Zients as saying improvements would continue in “December, January, February — just like you do with any website.” Asked whether the Nov. 30 target was still achievable, Bataille said on Tuesday, “I want to be clear that our plan remains the same. We are on a path to make improvements week by week so that by the end of November, the site will be working for the vast majority of users.” It’s unlikely that Congress will let the effort keep floundering much beyond Nov. 1. Millions of lawmakers’ constituents are losing current individual policies that don’t meet the law’s requirements. To guaran-

tee they don’t experience a break in coverage they would have to select new plans by Dec. 15. That’s a major political problem for Democrats who so far have stood by the president. The main federal website is central because other enrollment routes, from call centers to counselors to paper applications received by mail, all depend on having that access. “They either need to get HealthCare.gov up and functioning smoothly, or they need to come up with work-arounds so enrollments can be processed without going through the website,” Pearson said. In Congress earlier Wednesday, the House’s chief investigator plunged into the technical issues behind the dysfunctional rollout. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is investigating a long list of issues: insufficient testing, possible security flaws, design shortcomings — even allegations of political meddling.

sive international aid effort are beginning to turn, they are not quick enough for the 600,000 people displaced, many of them homeless, hungry and thirsty. With the Tacloban airport battered and roads made impassable by debris, very little aid has arrived in the city. Most of it is stuck in Manila and the nearby airport of Cebu, a 45-minute flight away. Many among the desperate residents have

resorted to raiding for food. Mobs overran a rice warehouse on Leyte, collapsing a wall that killed eight people. Thousands of sacks of the grain were carted off. Also Wednesday, security forces exchanged gunfire with an armed gang. Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez urged residents to flee the city because local authorities were having trouble providing food and water and maintaining order,

Park From page A1 Council members questioned how the city achieved the holiday and steady rate. Crosby said the change in the employees’ share of insurance bills had appeared to make staff members more responsible for health care expenses. Also on Tuesday night, the council approved a motion to declare 336 Northwest St. a nuisance and allow Crosby to move forward with having the property demolished using funds through Huron County. It is the third property slated for demolition by council action since mid-summer.

Despite those incidents, police said the situation was improving. “We have restored order,” said Carmelo Espina Valmoria, director of the Philippine National Police special action force.

Sharing an evening with Fabien Cousteau

Deep-ocean explorer and environmentally conscious business strategist HURON — Be a part of history at Bay Area Diver’s 30th consecutive Shipwrecks and Scuba Symposium, Saturday, Nov. 23 at Sawmill Creek Lodge in Huron. Fabien Cousteau will come to us live, on an interactive feed, from the Acquarius Habitat in the Florida Keys. He will be two weeks into living under the sea for 31 days. This will be almost twice as long in Aquarius as any previous

mission and a full day longer than his grandfather, Jacques Cousteau’s Conshelf Two habitat. Shipwrecks and Scuba is North America’s largest shipwreck and diving symposium outside of Chicago and New York. It’s world renowned presenters attract 250 to 350 people to this one day symposium each year. Reservations may be made online at www. s h i p w re c k s a n d s c u b a . com. All day admission is

$85, dinner program $45, daytime sessions $40. The conference features three events: daytime shipwreck programs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., evening dinner programs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., and exhibitor booths open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. You’ll be able to converse with Fabien, ask him questions, and experience every step of exploration from inside Aquarius, the only under-

sea marine habitat and lab in the world. This is a live, real-time opportunity to experience the adventure, risk and mystique of what lies beneath. Growing up on the salt-stained decks of his grandfather Jacques Cousteau’s ships, Calypso and Alcyone, Cousteau was destined to follow in the family footsteps of exploring and tirelessly working to protect our planet’s immense and

endangered marine habitats. Diving since age four, Cousteau was irrevocably imprinted with an unwavering appreciation for the wonder, beauty, and importance of our aquatic ecosystems to sustaining life on this big blue planet of ours. The daytime program provides seven additional well recognized speakers: technical diver, instructor, dive shop owner, shipwreck explorer, aux-

iliarist Mike Drexler; author, diver, videographer Joan Forsberg; producer, lecturer, author Ric Mixter; videographers, authors, divers Jim and Pat Stayer; technical diver, instructor, deep wreck explorer Sue Smith; shipwreck explorer, deep diver, author, lecturer and photographer David Trotter; and authors, shipwreck hunters and producers Georgann and Mike Wachter.
