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.

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.

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.

HUMOR: Why do John Deere Tractors plow so well?

They vibrate so much the ground is already broken up when the plow get there!

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.

If it aint red leave it in the shed

My girlfriend left me and all I got was a John Deere letter

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!!
