Pokemon Go” Interactive Game Poses Electric Safety Threat Lancaster, OH—South Central Power Company issued a warning today regarding the hazards posed by the popular “Pokemon Go” interactive game, which encourages players to collect, battle, track and capture Pokemon characters, in real-world settings. In particular, gamers are challenged to go to specific locations to catch Pokemon, including sites such as electric substations. South Central Power President & CEO Rick Lemonds warns people to steer clear of substations, transformers, poles and utility equipment. “Equipment associated with the electrical system poses very real safety threats,” says Lemonds. “Climbing a utility pole or a fence surrounding a substation is not only trespassing, it’s just plain dangerous. Serious injury, or worse, is a likely result. Poles, substations and transformers are for processing electricity—not for playing games.” The National Safety Council (NSC) released a statement on July 12 to alert the public to the fact that a number of injuries have resulted from people who play without regard to basic safety measures, as the game can cause distraction to pedestrians and drivers alike. The Council urges people to consider their safety over their scores. Some utilities have reported gamers “tailgating,” or following employees who have swiped an access card, into power plants, so co-op staff members are asked to remain vigilant, as well. In all cases of tailgating or distraction, call 911 and South Central Power at 800-282-5064.

As summer heats up, The Area Agency on Aging 8 (AAA8) offers the following tips on staying cool and details on Ohio’s Summer Crisis Program for elders. Increase fluid intake; drinking water is best.

Even Cats Sometimes Help
By Rick Schneider FairHope Hospice
I think in every area of healthcare the paramount focus of the medical staff is the illness. And it has to be that way. The only reason anyone goes to a healthcare professional is, well, for health. Your healthcare professional may ask a few questions about your family but it is usually just idle chatter or to ask who will drive you home after a treatment. And they generally don’t include your pet in your care plan. With our healthcare system the way it is, there is only time to focus on the illness. People consider FairHoPe to be the last stage of the health care continuum. The last house on the block, so to speak. We’re not. The last specialist that you visited is actually your last stop on the healthcare continuum. FairHoPe’s focus is completely different than a normal doctor’s focus. FairHoPe does not focus on the illness, we focus on the patient. Not only do we focus on the patient but on every part of the patient’s life; family, friends, home life, spiritual life, and pets. Pets? Do we give some of our attention to the patient’s pets when the patient is in their last stage of life? Yes we do.
Big-SycamoreFamily-Campground
Not only do we give pets attention, but we know to pay attention to them. They often help us if we watch and listen. In one particular instance a FairHoPe patient had an indoor cat. As a person with a cat, I know that there are no ordinary cats. This cat soon proved that she was a smart cat even though, like the typical unassuming cat, never let on that she was interested in anything but sleeping. A family member told me of his last visit with this patient. The patient was being cared for in his home and had his bed set up in the living room. The patient liked to be a part of the action and didn’t want to be sequestered back in his bedroom so his bed was placed where the couch had been. On this particular evening family had gathered at the house because the patient’s health was declining at a noticeable rate. The patient became tired so family and friends, who had gathered, moved to the kitchen to allow him to quietly rest. About 20 minutes later the conversation in the kitchen was suddenly interrupted by the patient’s cat. It came running into the kitchen from the living room and, as one of the family members put it, “Just through a fit. There’s no other way to describe it; he just through a fit.” At first no one could figure out what was wrong with the cat but someone suggested that they check on the patient. Very quickly they noticed that the patient’s breathing pattern had changed. This was not a good indication. Months earlier, when the patient signed on to FairHoPe’s care, the nurse explained to the family certain things that may happen as the body begins the normally slow process of turning itself off. After they went back to the patient’s bedroom they realized that he had begun the Cheyne-Stokes (pronounced “chain stokes”) breathing that signals the end is near. The family called FairHoPe to let them know what was going on then pulled up chairs around the bed and sat in silent prayer. In less than an hour the patient died. Now they understood that the cat sensed the end was very close and was trying to get everyone’s attention.
The Great 7 Mile Blue Grass Band Performed at Big Sycamore Family Campground the campers started carrying lawn chairs to enjoy the Blue Grass Music. The band also performed at the Wash Board Festival over Father’s day week-end and will be back next year. If you would like to contact the band call Manager Billy Self at 740-701-0834. We would like to thank the owners of the Campground & The Band Members for a wonderful 4th of July Week-End.
FairHoPe’s focus is not on the illness, but on the patient. FairHoPe includes the family pet in the patient’s care plan since pets are a part of the family. Sometimes the pet may become a little more involved, as this cat did and that is fine with us.

LANCASTER, Ohio - The Fairfield County Foundation is honored to announce a new fund, the Lauryn “Lu” Oliphant Memorial Fund, which was established by the Oliphant family to support an annual scholarship in Lauryn’s name and contribute to Acute Myelogenous Leukemia research projects. Lauryn was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia), a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, in December of 2014. After completing four cycles of chemotherapy, Lu went into remission in May of 2015; however, she relapsed the following August. In March of 2016, Lu reached her goal of receiving a bone marrow transplant, but after many intense rounds of treatment, passed away on May 5, 2016. Lu was on the Varsity Girls Golf Team at Pickerington North as well as the Girls Track Team. She enjoyed playing guitar and mentoring other children on the oncology unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “We’re honored to be able to help the Oliphant family give back to the community and organizations that supported them throughout Lu’s journey with the creation of this fund,” said Amy Eyman, Executive Director of the Fairfield County Foundation. To raise funds for the Lauryn “Lu” Oliphant Memorial Fund, the family is hosting a “Hitting the Links 4 LUkemia” Memorial Tournament on Saturday, July 23 at the Westchester Golf Course in Canal Winchester. The 4 person best ball event will feature a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. The cost to play is $65/person and $55/person for high school and college players, or all PHSN & PHSC Golf Alums. To register, please contact Kitty McGrievy at HYPERLINK “mailto:kmcgrievy@aol.com” kmcgrievy@aol.com or 614-8344660.

Did You Know?? Facts & Humor: FACTS: 1842 - Jerome Increase Case founds the Racine Threshing Machine Works in Racine, Wisconsin. He innovates the current thresher and separated the straw from the grain. 1847 - In Chicago, Cyrus McCormick founds the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company which will later become International Harvester. 1850-60s - Both companies grow market share and McCormick adds features to the reaper while Case diversifies power sources for the thresher. 1869 - J.I. Case and Company produces the first steam engine tractor. It is wheel mounted, but still drawn by horses and used only to power other machines. 1871 - The Great Chicago Fire destroys the McCormick factory. J.I. Case offers to build machines for McCormick. 1876 - Case builds the first self-propelled traction steam engine. However, horses are still used to steer the engine. 1892 - Case builds a gasoline-powered tractor. However, the market is not ready for the transition from steam, so Case waits until 1911 to reintroduce it. 1902 - J.P. Morgan brokers the merger of the McCormick, Deering, and three smaller brands into the International Harvester Company. 1910 - International Harvester introduces the colossal Titan tractor, confirming its tractor legacy in both size and strength. 1919 - International Harvester invents the first commercial power takeoff which premieres in the 8-16 model. 1923 - Bert Benjamin builds first of the legendary Farmall, a unified system of tractors and implements for plowing, cultivation and harvesting, featuring a revolutionary light design 1936 - Harvester Red #50 is adopted for all International Harvester tractors, crawlers and power units on 1 November 1936. 1939 - International Harvester introduces the second generation Farmall - the Letter Series - on August 9, 1939. The series included A and B (small-sized), H (middlesized), and M (large-sized) tractors. 1943 - International Harvester creates first successful spindle cotton picker. “Old Red” was mounted on a Farmall Tractor H. Both are donated for display at the Smithsonian Institution. 1958 - The Steiger family builds their first tractor with a higher horsepower than what was then available on the market. Commercial production starts in 1963
1995 - Case IH adds the innovative Austoft sugar cane harvester to its line which improves the efficiency and safety of harvesting cane. 1997 - The amazing Steiger Quadtrac tractor is introduced. The 360-horsepower vehicle has four separate tracks that reduce ground compaction and increase traction. 1998 - Case IH expands its presence in the application equipment market with the addition of sprayers. 1998 - Business Week magazine names the Case IH MX Series Magnum tractor new product of the year, in its 10th anniversary year. 2003 - The company announces the return of the Farmall brand name with introduction of the new D and DX series tractors. 2006 - Case IH announces the Case IH Module Express 625 which is the first commercial cotton picker with the ability to build modules while harvesting. 2009 - Case IH launches continuously variable transmission (CVT) technology on tractors. The CVT automatically adjusts to constantly deliver the best possible balance of power and fuel efficiency at field speeds when operators need it most. 2010 Case IH ships world’s first tractor meeting new the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Tier 4 Interim/European Union Stage III emissions requirements for agricultural equipment. The engine in the new Magnum Series tractor uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to reduce particulate matter and nitrogen oxides in emissions while actually boosting power, and improving fuel efficiency and durability. 2012 - Case IH celebrates 25 years of the Magnum tractor. 2013 - Case IH celebrates the 90 year anniversary of the introduction of the Farmall tractor, and the change in agriculture industry that resulted from it. 2013 - Case IH introduces the first two-row sugarcane harvester with variable rowspacing, offering huge advantages in flexibility and harvesting speed. 2014 - The Case IH Steiger tractor is voted “Machine of the Year XXL 2014” at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany. 2015 - The Case IH Magnum tractor is voted 2015 Tractor of the Year at EIMA 2014 in Bologna and the Magnum Rowtrac is introduced. Following this success, the Magnum was awarded “Machine of the Year 2015” at SIMA in Paris. HUMOR: Why do John Deere Tractors plow so well? They vibrate so much the ground is already broken up when the plow get there! Why did Case tractors have an Eagle as their symbol? Because they needed the eyes of an eagle to see if they were getting any work done”
1977 - The launch of the Axial Flow Combine revolutionizes the industry with its simplicity, grain quality, grain savings, crop adaptability, matched capacity and an added resale value.
Nothing runs like a Deere, ... or smells like a john Crops are green, Tractors are red. If its green, mow it or spend it! If it aint red leave it in the shed
1980 - International Harvester produces the innovative 2+2 row crop articulated tractor, with the driver seated on the rear half of the tractor.
What did the plow say to the tractor? Pull me a little closer John Deere

Why are farmers respected? Because they are out standing in their field. My girlfriend left me and all I got was a John Deere letter
1985 - The legacies of J.I. Case and Cyrus McCormick are united in one brand: Case IH. The new organization becomes the second largest farm equipment manufacturer, and the combination provides a broadened product line and a greatly expanded dealer organization. 1986 - Steiger joins the growing Case IH offering. In 1988, the first red 9100 series Case IH Steiger tractors are produced although green Steigers are still made until 1989. 1988 - Case IH launches the Magnum tractor – the first all-new machine to come from the combined engineering of Case and International Harvester. 1989 - Case IH introduces the Maxxum tractor, a powerful, versatile and economical multi-purpose tractor which stands out for its performance, maneuverability and serviceability. 1992 - Case IH celebrates its 150th anniversary serving the agriculture industry. 1995 - Case IH introduces AFS Advanced Farming Systems. The system allows farmers to maximize productivity by monitoring yields with satellite technology, an innovative solution for its time.
Do you know why John Deere’s are green and yellow? So they can hide in the cornfield when the other tractors go by. Nothing kills a Deere like a MAGNUM. Case IH Nothing runs like a Deere when the (Case) Eagle screams!!
