I Love the Fair

By Rick Schneider

I love the Fair. One of the things that make it so important to me is that no matter what goes on in my life the Fair will be held at the fairgrounds during the second week of September. That consistency, like the mail carrier stopping by every day, helps to keep my life in order.

My first memories of the Fair involve cotton candy; I loved it. However, I soon found out that the only place that I could get cotton candy was at the Fair. Another early memory of the Fair was Mom saying, “Oh my, look at those prices. We’ll buy just one and share.”

The Fair evolves yet stays the same; young 4-H’ers grow up to be 4-H judges, cars that I remember as new are now in the Demolition Derby, and the kids on the rides will someday bring their grandchildren to the Fair. The Truck & Tractor Pull will always be on Saturday night and the “Attention on the Midway!” announcements will never be replaced by email blasts. All of these things give me a secure feeling in a life of constant change and turmoil.

So many of FairHoPe’s patients have fond memories of the Fair, and like myself, these memories sometimes deal with the high prices. A patient told me that when he was a child, during the Depression, his family would eat dinner before they went to the Fair in the evening. He remembers all of the bright lights and the excitement. As an adult he realized that his mother fixed a big dinner before they went so that he and his siblings wouldn’t be begging for fair food. Of course they did anyway so while at the Fair his siblings would each get a box of Cracker Jacks. He said the boxes were bigger back then.

Last September The Pickering House’s Kitchen Mgr, Linda, came in to my office and asked if she could have a pass to go in the Fair. Why? Because she had been reminiscing with a patient about the Hocking County Fair and as they were talking the subject of Fair food came up. Around here that’s all it takes. Linda came in, asked for and received a pass, and was off to the Fair to pick up the two items that the patient had been dreaming about: Italian sausage with onions and peppers, and those sugar waffles covered with powdered sugar. I know that Linda would have gone to get the food even if the Fair passes weren’t available.

The patient was overjoyed to see and smell such special food. Even though he, technically, couldn’t eat The Pickering House aide put just a dab the juices from the sandwich on his tongue. After he savored the sensation for a few heavenly moments she placed just a “touch” of powdered sugar on his lips so that he could lick it off.

Is Fair food good for a FairHoPe patient? (Is it good for anybody?) That isn’t a question we ask. Who cares what’s “good for you” in the last stage of life? It is simply a matter of if the patient wants it, the patient gets it.

On a more serious note, if you’ve lost someone close this past year it’s going to be a different Fair this time. Nothing will be the same, yet it will all be the same. If you’re thinking about going to the Fair my suggestion is to go ahead and go. Consider going with someone who has also suffered a loss. Visit the places that bring back memories. Support each other as you share the good memories that a booth, a ride, or a certain building evokes. While there it’s okay to cry. It is good to cry and then laugh.

The Fair isn’t just about 4H and fried food; it’s also about happy memories and emotional food. The Fair is about everything that is good in life. I love the Fair.

SOUTH CENTRAL POWER COMPANY FOUNDATION GRANT AWARDS SURPASS $1 MILLION LANCASTER, OHIO, August 22, 2016 -- The South Central Power Company Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in grants to 178 projects since it launched Operation Round Up in 2014.

“Between the grants and scholarships, the South Central Power Company Foundation has returned $1,115,551.25 to civic, charitable and educational organizations across the service territory,” said Don Jones, Foundation chairman.

“Exceeding $1 million is a milestone that reflects efforts to feed the hungry, support education and youth activities, assist substance abuse programs and purchase life-saving medical equipment.”

“The million dollar mark demonstrates that a little change is making a big difference in the lives of our members – for agencies, schools and safety service departments across the 24 counties served by South Central Power,” said Vice President of Member Service and Community Relations Cathy Bitler.

The Foundation awarded 36 grants totaling $139,343.86 at its July meeting. Locally, the Foundation awarded grants to: • Jacob Getz • Marion Township Fire Department The South Central Power Company Foundation is separate from the electric cooperative and operates with its own 11-member board of directors. Grant applications are reviewed quarterly, where the Foundation awards the approved grants.

Operation Round Up, a program that automatically “rounds up” the electric cooperative members’ monthly bill to the next highest dollar funds the South Central Power Foundation.

The next Operation Round Up grant application deadline is September 30, 2016. Applications are available at www. southcentralpower.com.

RECOGNIZING DEPRESSION IN TEENS

By Melissa Poling, Director of HVCH Social Services Back to school is a great time to revisit that depression is a common illness affecting many of our teens. It is estimated that one in five teens struggle with at least one depressive episode before they reach adulthood. Despite depression striking many of our teens, the individual can feel so isolated and alone. When teens and parents are educated on depression they are more likely to reach out to get the help they need and deserve! It is important to remember that depression is a health problem and it gets better with treatment. There are many options/resources for our young population that are suffering with depression.

There are “different forms” of depression, and it can be caused by transitions in life. Stress can also cause depression so starting back to school is no exception! Depression can also be caused by a change in body chemistry. Symptoms to look for that MAY indicate depression are: • • • • • • • • • • •

Withdrawal from friends/family Sadness/Hopelessness Lack of energy/motivation Anger/rage Poor performance in school Poor self-esteem Restlessness/Agitation Changes in eating/Sleeping patterns Lack of concentration Substance abuse Suicidal thoughts

Recognizing depression early is key and can prevent more harm in the disease process. Make sure you tell your teen they can ask for help and there are people that want to help! A teen can go to a teacher and/or a guidance counselor at school.

A website I found very helpful is Erika’s Lighthouse. There is a “teen toolbox” that has many useful resources. There is also a hotline available 24 hours/7 days a week that a teen can call at #1-800-273-TALK. “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through the experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved”.

Health Awareness Buckeye Hills Area Agency on Aging 8 Receives an Aging Achievement Award from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a)

The Buckeye Hills Area Agency on Aging 8 (AAA8) announces that the Southern Ohio Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) has been honored with an Aging Achievement Award by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a). The Southern Ohio CCTP was among 46 local aging programs to receive honors at the n4a Annual Conference.

The 2016 n4a Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards recognizes Area Agencies on Aging and Title VI Native American aging programs that develop and implement cutting-edge approaches to support older adults, people with disabilities and their family caregivers. A part of the criteria for the selection of the honorees was the ease with which other agencies could replicate the program in their communities.

“With the health care landscape continuing to change rapidly, our members are discovering new ways to position themselves in the long-term and health care marketplaces, as well as to strengthen long-standing services, to meet the needs of America’s rapidly growing older adult population,” said n4a’s Chief Executive Officer Sandy Markwood. “Our members work tirelessly, and with little fanfare in their communities, and this program enables us to shine a well-deserved spotlight on their critical work to support older adults’ health, safety, independence and dignity,” Markwood added.

The Medicare-funded CCTP is sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The program is designed to make the transition from the hospital to another setting as seamless as possible. According to CMS, nearly one in five Medicare patients discharged from a hospital—approximately 2.6 million seniors—are readmitted within 30 days, at a cost of over $26 billion annually.

“With our staff of community and hospital-based coaches, the Southern Ohio CCTP is working to reduce unnecessary readmissions through its process improvements and regional partnerships created across the region’s health systems,” said Carolyn Ditchendorf, LSW, program Manager for AAA8 who served as the lead agency. “The goal is to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions, but also to empower people to be engaged in their care. The AAAs are also focused on connecting individuals to home and community-based resources,” noted Ditchendorf.

South Central Power Annual Meeting LANCASTER – Results of the Board of Trustees election were announced at South Central Power’s 80th annual meeting held August 18 at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds. Reelected to three-year terms were Harold Cooper of Waverly, Alan Gabriel of Circleville and Richard Poling of Somerset.

Voting was conducted by mail.

it really truly does,” Jones says. “We try to give them (grants) to projects that will better the communities and the lives of you, our members.”

As Ohio’s largest rural electric cooperative, South Central Power Company serves more than 117,000 homes, farms, schools and businesses in 24 counties. It operates offices in Lancaster, Canal Winchester, Circleville, Hillsboro and Barnesville.

In his report to the members, Treasurer James Evans said the co-op had a strong year in 2015. Assets exceeded $469.2 million, up 5.5 percent. “That’s a nice, reasonable amount of growth for this past year.”

Operating revenue was $273.8 million, while operating expenses totaled approximately $269 million. Member equity was up 6 percent to nearly $267 million. “Our equity level ended at 56.89, meaning almost 57 percent of the assets are owned free and clear. A really strong financial position to be in,” Evans said.

Additionally, the cooperative retired $6.9 million in capital credits to members served by the co-op in 1994.

President and CEO Richard Lemonds reported that South Central Power is the 20th largest electric distribution cooperative in the U.S. “In the past 20 years, we’ve grown by almost 20,000 meters and now serve 117,000 consumers in 24 counties. Also since 1995, we’ve added more than 2,000 miles of line,” he said.

The co-op has grown to this level with the same number of employees it had in 1995. “Yes, we contract a few more things out, but, by and large, we’re here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year because we have employees that keep us at the forefront of a rapidly changing electric industry,” Lemonds said.

To ensure it is meeting members’ needs and expectations, South Central Power conducts regular surveys. “I am proud to report that from the spring 2016 survey, we achieved a satisfaction score of 86 – our best ever,” Lemonds says of the co-op’s American Customer Satisfaction Survey score.

Lemonds also discussed South Central Power’s participation in Project Ohio, a joint effort of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s International Foundation and Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives (OEC). In March of this year, two South Central Power linemen were among the team that brought electricity to 450 residents in the remote Guatemalan village of Le Soledad. The endeavor was the first of its kind for OEC and South Central Power.

South Central Power Company Foundation Chairman Don Jones also spoke to members. The 11-member Foundation board, which is separate from the cooperative’s board of trustees, awards grants and scholarships through Operation Round Up. The program rounds up participating members’ electric bill to the next dollar. Over the past two years, the Foundation has distributed more than $1.1 million to communities across the 24-counties served by the co-op.

“When you think a little bit of change doesn’t make a difference,

Re-elected to South Central Power’s Board of Trustees were (from left): Richard Poling of Somerset, Alan Gabriel of Circleville and Harold Cooper of Waverly.

Did You Know?? Facts & Humor: Carnivals consist of games, rides, shows, feasting, and overall merriment, which developed from the traditional outdoor festivals of Europe in honor of seasonal changes or religious holidays that date back hundreds of years ago.

Fairs are large theme based events held to promote and present agricultural, commercial, industrial, and artistic exhibits to fairgoers while also providing the fun and amusement of carnivals.

The traveling carnival began in America in the late 1800’s as a result of improved transportation and technology.

A famous American carnival is the Mardi Gras, which is held in late winter in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was introduced to America on March 3, 1699 by French explorer, Iberville.

The first annual fair in the American colonies was held in 1641 in New Amsterdam (now New York City) to showcase farm products of the local area.

The USA’s first state fair was held in Syracuse, New York in September of 1841.

The first World’s Fair was held in 1851 in England at London’s Crystal Palace. The fair exhibited American machinery of the Industrial Revolution.

The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the Paris World’s Fair of 1889, which honored the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

The Ferris wheel was invented by George W. Ferris for the 1893 World’s Fair, which was held in Chicago to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s landing in America.

The first time that fairgoers ate hot dogs and ice cream as they walked along the midway was during the Saint Louis World’s Fair in 1904, thus coining these two foods as the world’s first “fast foods”.

What we call “Cotton Candy” was originally called “Fairy Floss” and was invented in 1897 by candy makers William Morris and John C. Wharton of Nashville, Tennessee. It was introduced at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. It has also been called “Spun Sugar” and in the United Kingdom it is called “Candy Floss”.

The Midway is the main path or street that fairgoers walk along to find sideshows, concession stands, and other amusements.

Games you play at a fair or carnival also go by the slang name, “joints”.

Midnight Madness is when the fair stays open past midnight and into the early morning hours.

Krumlauf retires from HVCH LOGAN – Kathy Krumlauf has retired from Hocking Valley Community Hospital after serving as the executive director of community relations and the HVCH Foundation for the past 28 years.

Krumlauf, a North Carolina native, moved to Logan at the age of 18 and joined a hospital TWIG fundraising group. She was hired as the hospital’s community relations director in 1988.

“My 28 years at HVCH have been a growing experience. It’s been a wonderful opportunity to work with everyone at the hospital and to collaborate in partnership with so many agencies and businesses in our community,” Krumlauf said. “The people in our community are giving, supportive people and we appreciate their support.”

In addition to her role as community relations director, Krumlauf also coordinated the hospital auxiliary and volunteers, and acted as the director of the HVCH Foundation to raise funds for the hospital. She managed the hospital’s capital campaign in 1996 which raised more than $1.2 million as well as the Foundation’s annual golf tournament and auction which raised more than $1.5 million in the event’s 31-year history.

“I wish the hospital and its leaders much success as they continue to bring new ideas and physicians to our community. I’m grateful for every gift we ever received, whether it was a $5 amount or $10,000,” Krumlauf said. “Thanks for all the great memories.”

“Kathy has been a tireless worker, supporter and leader for Hocking Valley Community Hospital and her contributions have been countless over the 28 years with the hospital,” Julie Stuck, HVCH CEO, said.

During her retirement, Krumlauf will be traveling, riding bikes and visiting with family.

Hocking Valley is a community non-profit hospital with an emergency department, urgent care and a wide variety of clinical, specialty and outpatient services. For more information, contact the Community Relations office at (740) 380-8154.
