Memorial honors unit’s 67 fallen soldiers

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Vietnam veteran Edward Hart felt compelled to honor the 67 soldiers from his unit who were killed in action.

So, he built a memorial in his front yard, which is located on the Ottawa County side of Fostoria Road facing Millbury.

Since construction, he has included honoring all veterans and civil servants, plus he’s published a website to coincide with the memorial. There is a Facebook page, too.

“I decided in 2013 and 2014 that I was going to build a memorial to honor not only my comrades-in-arms who are dying from Agent Orange, but the KIAs from my unit, which is on that website,” Hart said. “It also documents each war period from World War I to Iraq, and I also have it honoring all veterans, not only military, but law enforcement and the fire department. Eventually, I am going to put the EMS in there.”

Hart’s website lists the name of every soldier in his unit who was killed in action.

Members of The First Engineers, they died between November 10, 1965 and April 21, 1970.

I understand the life expectancy of a Vietnam vet who has been around Agent Orange is 75, so I think I broke a record.

The Lake Township trustees are pushing for safety improvements on several roadways, including a reduction of the speed limit on a stretch of Walbridge Road.

The trustees Tuesday agreed to authorize a speed limit study on Walbridge and plan to seek a reduction of the limit to 35 MPH from the current 55 MPH between Lemoyne Road and State Route 51.

The trustees also agreed to ask the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Wood commissioners to make the intersection of Pemberville and Walbridge roads a four-way stop. Currently, there are stops signs on Walbridge.

ODOT will also be asked to install a street light at the intersection of State Rt. 795 and Pemberville Road.

Richard Welling, a trustee, said township officials discussed the proposed changes with county officials when the commissioner held a town hall meeting in the township administration building last month.

Mark Hummer, township administrator, informed the trustees the Wood County engineer’s office has informed the township that the county will no longer pay for two street lights near the intersection of Rt. 51 and Pemberville Road as of Oct. 31.

Rather than having the lights turned off, he said the township will absorb the costs – about $30 a month – but he plans to discuss the matter with ODOT. “There wasn’t time for ODOT to react to this, but those lights shine on Rt. 51,” he said.

In other business, the trustees agreed to donate $1,500 to the Wreaths Across America organization that places wreaths on the graves of veterans during the holiday season.

Jeff Pettit, a trustee who coordinates the local program at Lake Township Cemetery, said he’s raised about $7,100 and the township’s donation brings the local effort closer to the $9,000 raised in past years.

threw a bomb into their tent. As Hart talks about the incident, tears well up in his eyes.

“My sergeant in our outfit is in there and there was a guy — he was told to stay out of the command post tent when they set it up,” Hart said.

“Well, when they set it up they did it during the monsoon season and of course, they used the tent and the VC blew the tent up, so it killed the guys. They are honored on my website,” Hart said. “That group there is all from my outfit — 67 guys from

my outfit were killed in ‘Nam.” Hart is not sure of exactly how many were serving in his unit but says 67 killed was a pretty good chunk. Plus, he’s still seeing additional losses due to Agent Orange.

“When we went overseas in ’65, we went out of Oakland, California on the USS Gordon, which was a troop ship, and we had 3,000 men plus equipment on there, but I don’t think they were 3,000 in our group — there were other groups on board there.”

Hart served in the U.S. Army for three years active duty and three years inactive duty. He spent 1965 and 1966 in Vietnam and says he “came back with an extra bullet in him.” He has a 100 percent service-connected disability with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He also worked for Textile Leather, a Toledo based company, for 34 years before retiring.

At age 78, he says he is glad just to be alive. If the war hadn’t gotten him, it would be possible that Agent Orange still could.

“I understand the life expectancy of a Vietnam vet who has been around Agent Orange is 75, so I think I broke a record,” Hart joked.

Refuse bid opened The township only received one contract bid for refuse collection service.

Republic Services submitted the sole bid but Waste Management wrote a letter to the trustees saying the company may bid for the service contract in the future.

When awarded, the contract will cover the unincorporated portion of the township.

The township has had a contract with Republic Services since 2014. The original 3-year agreement has expired and the township and hauling company have agreed to one-year extensions the past two years.

Grain elevators tested for moisture Moisture tests at grain elevators in Wood County have been completed, Matthew Oestreich, county auditor, said last week.

He conducted the tests with Brian King, weights and measures inspector, and samples were certified by a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab in Maumee.

Oestreich said testing of moisture meters helps ensure equitable transactions at the elevators.

“The accurate moisture content of the grain is a vital component of price per bushel received by the farmer,” he said.

His office provided training to inspectors from neighboring counties during the testing.

In all, 13 elevators and 15 meters were inspected.

up on the battlefield.

“I can remember when World War II ended,” Hart said. “Of course, my dad at that time was a welder and he had access to carbonite, and I can remember him blowing a homemade cannon off in the backyard when World War II ended, so I was 5-yearsold.”

Today, Hart is a trustee in the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 35, in Toledo.

The VVA was started by seven Vietnam veterans in 1978.

Memorial under construction Hart tried to make sure he crossed his T’s and dotted his I’s while his memorial was under construction.

“First came the sandbags. I checked with the town of Woodville, being the Portage River ran through there. Then to stop at the street department, they said they would donate enough sandbags to build a bunker around the flag. The U.S. flag flies at half-staff 24/7/365 being that my comradesin-arms are dying from Agent Orange every day. Taps will be played at 0800 and again at 1800.

Iraq. The firemen’s helmet was donated by a retired fire chief and the sheriff’s helmet was donated by 51 Custom Cycle, Genoa, Ohio. Mike, my neighbor’s son, helped with digging the holes and filling sandbags.”

Hart still has one issue with the memorial, which is supposed to play taps twice a day. His website does so anytime on request. However, the memorial’s daily taps routine was either getting to one of his neighbors, or a wild animal decided that was enough, so the audio unit was vandal-

ized.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office came to the rescue, and Sheriff Steve Levorchick’s photo is displayed on the website for good reason—not just as a civil servant but as protector of Hart’s memorial.

“They (sheriff) come out once in a while to keep an eye on my memorial,” Hart claims. “About a year ago, somebody walked into the yard and cut the wires to my speaker because it played taps at 8 o’clock in the morning and 6 o’clock at night. I went out and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t playing, so I went out there and sure enough somebody cut up about two feet of the wire.

“Since then, I’ve put in a camera and I’ve seen two dogs, a racoon and squirrels in the yard. My son, who is a computer wizard, is going to hook it up to my computer as a wireless system and my speaker will be out there, and it should be set up then.”

The website is http://millburymemorial.weebly.com.

The Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/ groups/245378329442431/member/.

“We came up with the Facebook page so that other people who have memorials in their yards can display them on this site,” Hart said.

Oregon, Jerusalem Twp. voters support levies

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved the renewal of a .5 mill senior services levy, and Jerusalem Township voters supported a .25 mill levy in the midterm election Nov. 6.

“I think voters, in passing this levy, want us to achieve our objectives in helping provide services to seniors,” said Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley.

“We’ll continue on the path we’ve been on, and partner in the community to make sure we get this done.”

The senior levy, originally passed on Nov. 5, 2013 to provide funding for senior services, was passed by a vote of 5,779 (74.67 percent) in favor, to 1,960, (25.33 percent), opposed, according to unofficial results from the Lucas County Board of Elections.

The levy will continue to provide additional funds for senior services, including the new relocated senior center on Navarre Avenue, and for CHORE services, which assists seniors in maintaining their homes longer.

In 2014, the city relocated the senior center from a small, outdated building, which used to be a water pumping station on Bayshore Road, to an updated facility more centrally located on Navarre Avenue across from Pearson Metropark.

“The senior center is a new and modern building that is better equipped to meet community needs,” said Beazley. “I think it helps to generate a little bit of energy, excitement and focus around senior related services.”

Some of the levy revenue will be used to further improve the senior center building and its parking lot.

The levy generates about $225,000 annually.

Cemetery levy Voters in Jerusalem Township passed a .25 mill, five year levy to expand the township cemetery.

Trustees recently bought property adjacent to Oakwood Cemetery, which is nearly full, to provide additional space for its residents, but funding was needed for development.

The township is required by law to provide a cemetery for its residents.

Known as Issue 17 on the ballot, the levy passed by a vote of 693 (56.25 percent), to 539 (43.75 percent).

Trustee David Bench was pleased by the vote.

“We needed this because the cemetery is almost full,” said Bench. “Now we can go forward with our plans to lay it out, put the roads and the drainage in. It’s going to take us about two years to get this accomplished. We’re going to start whittling away at it.”

The cemetery, established in 1912, is on Brown Road, between Decant and Cousino.

Bench and Trustee Mark Sattler put together a flier and went door to door before the election to promote the levy. Both were surprised how many residents were unaware of the cemetery.

“A lot of people didn’t even know we had a cemetery, and maybe don’t plan on using it possibly,” said Bench. “Not a lot of people travel down that part of Brown Road.”

Sattler agreed.

“I couldn’t believe the number of people who had no idea there was a cemetery. Some said they had driven past it, but didn’t know it was the township’s cemetery,” said Sattler.

He attributed the passage of the levy to the small millage that was requested.

“I think people respected it was not a lot of money, or burdensome. Those that knew about the cemetery said they had family buried there, and they appreciated it was well maintained,” he said.

“I want to thank our residents for their support,” he added. “The expansion of the cemetery will ensure we have enough space there to serve our community, and keep our cemetery grounds well groomed, for decades to come. I am proud of how our township residents pulled together. “ The cost of the levy to an owner of a $100,000 home is $8.75 annually.

Sensible marijuana Also on the ballot in Oregon was the

“Sensible Marijuana Law,” which was passed by a vote of 4,132 (53.10 percent) to 3,649 (46.90 percent).

Although it aims to lower the penalty for misdemeanor marijuana offenses, it has no bearing in Oregon, since the city follows the Ohio Revised Code, not the municipal code, in the prosecution of crimes. It is still illegal in Oregon to possess marijuana.

“It’s still a crime under state law,” said Beazley. “There isn’t much Oregon can do to change that. We made it clear from the beginning that Oregon follows Ohio Revised Code to enforce its criminal offenses, including drug offenses. This will not really have any effect on the behavior or our police department or our court.

Oregon City Council in July approved putting the issue on the ballot after an initiative petition with sufficient signatures was sent to the Lucas County Board of Elections.

The issue had been discussed at a Safety Committee meeting before it went to city council.

Last summer, Beazley met with the citizen’s group that submitted the petition to inform them that even if it passed, it wouldn’t change things.

“I don’t think they would notice any difference in prosecution or action. They said they understood and that it would be recognized as a political statement. They hope someday to change state law.”

Holiday Open House Petals and Plants, a flower and gift shop operated by high school students in the Floral Design/Greenhouse Production program at Penta Career Center, will host a Holiday Open House on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and Friday, Nov. 16 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

Levy falls

B-C-S board to re-group

Workplace Funeral homes form partnership

By Press Staff Writer The Benton-Carroll-Salem school board will review the results of Tuesday’s election and then decide how to again seek voter approval of additional tax funding for the school district, Guy Parmigian, district superintendent, said last week, Voters last week rejected a request for a 1 percent tax on earned income by a 323-vote margin; 2,147 for to 2,470 against, according to unofficial results.

Parmigian said the issue only passed in a Benton Township precinct.

“We were obviously disappointed in the results, disappointed for our students and our community. With that said, the need still exists to raise the revenue. Our board will be re-grouping and deciding how to go back on the ballot again to raise those funds. They’ll be talking about should it be an income tax, should it be a property tax or a combination? I think they are united that we will have to go back on the ballot again,” he said.

Parmigian said the district’s financial problems stem from the devaluation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station and the resulting loss of property taxes.

The board plans to study the voting patterns in the district when official results are compiled.

The district is facing a revenue issue, not an expense issue, Parmigian said.

“We can’t cut our way out of this,” he said.

Last May, voters rejected a 1 percent earned income tax by about 50 votes but approved a 3.89-mill property tax.

The property tax is expected to generate about $1.4 million annually.

Had it passed, the income tax levy would have generated approximately $1.98 million annually. The revenues would be used for operating expenses

As you know, we continue to face financial challenges and economic uncertainty.

“

Under a renewed two-year agreement between Ottawa County and FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company the company will pay $381,078 to help fund staffing of the county’s emergency management agency, training and other expenses related to the emergency plan for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.

The county commissioners approved the grant agreement during a meeting earlier this month.

It will be in effect Jan. 1, 2019 through Dec. 31, 2020.

FENOC informed the commissioners in October that the company will also continue to completely fund the county’s emergency radio system maintenance costs in 2019.

However, in 2020 the company will only be able to fund half of the costs, Mark Bezilla, FENOC vice president, said in a letter to the commissioners.

“As you know, we continue to face financial challenges and economic uncer-

tainty,” the letter says.

Earlier this year, FirstEnergy Corp. announced it planned to deactivate the Davis-Besse station by May 2020. The Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, Ohio is scheduled to be deactivated by May 2021 and units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pa. are to be deactivated by May 2021 and October 2021 respectively.

WSOS Community Action Commission will now be known as Great Lakes Community Action Partnership.

The name change was effective Nov. 2 in conjunction with the grand opening of the agency’s new headquarters at 127 S. Front St. in Fremont.

Founded in 1965, WSOS initially provided services to Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa and Seneca county residents.

While these remain the organization’s core counties, the new name of Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) reflects the organization’s expansion of its service area to other counties, states and even nations over the course of its 50-plus year history.

GLCAP will continue to offer early childhood education, home repair and weatherization, senior support, community development, homeless assistance, job training and a multitude of other services as it has in the past.

“The new name better communicates the scope of our work in the Great Lakes region, as well as our view that the success of our work comes from collaborative partnerships among our staff, our communities, and our clients,” GLCAP President/CEO Ruthann House said.

The name change also includes an updated logo — a combined water drop and brush stroke — as well as a new website, www.glcap.org.

The new headquarters brings together 85 employees that had previously worked in three separate locations including two downtown Fremont buildings and a Green Springs facility.

Consolidating staff will allow better workflow and communication between departments, House said.

“We emphasize that although we are undergoing significant change, Great Lakes Community Action Partnership’s staff will continue to offer the same level of service that we have in the past as WSOS,” House added.

Fremont, Ohio, and Villa Hayes in Paraguay will become sister cities on Monday, Nov. 12, 140 years after President Rutherford B. Hayes arbitrated a land dispute in Paraguay’s favor and became a national hero there.

The public is invited to a brief ceremony where officials from the two cities will dedicate a tree in honor of the agreement at 12:15 p.m. on the grounds of Spiegel Grove.

Then at 1 p.m., they will sign the sister city agreement in the Presidents Gallery of the Hayes Museum. The public is also invited to this ceremony, which will last about a half hour. Joan Eckermann, HPLM special events and volunteer coordinator, will sing the “Star-Spangled Banner� and the Paraguayan national anthem.

A reception in the rotunda with light refreshments will follow.

Ambassador German Rojas of Paraguay, Villa Hayes Mayor Esteban Rios Ayala, Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez, State Rep. Bill Reineke and Hayes Presidential Library & Museums Executive Director Christie Weininger will speak during the event.

This will be Rojas’ second visit to the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums after he was one of the speakers during the institution’s centennial celebration in 2016. “We’ve been working on a sister city relationship ever since the centennial anniversary of the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in 2016,� Weininger said. “We’re so excited to formalize the relationship between Fremont and Villa Hayes.�

Villa Hayes will be Fremont’s first sister city. Sanchez said he was excited to meet the officials from Paraguay. “This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience,� Sanchez said. “We hope it helps to broaden the appeal of Fremont and the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums to more than just the Sandusky County area.�

Villa Hayes, as well as a province, soccer team and museum in the South American country are named for President Hayes. On Nov. 12, 1878, he arbitrated a land dispute between Paraguay and Argentina after the Paraguayan War. Hayes awarded the Gran Chaco region - which is about the size of Michigan - to Paraguay, giving the country 60 percent of its land. Hayes’ memory continues to be honored by Paraguayans, who celebrate Nov. 12 as a holiday.

There is a replica bust of President Hayes at the Rutherford B. Hayes School in Villa Hayes. In a 1956 ceremony, James Keys, the U. S. embassy’s public affairs officer presented the bust to city officials, school administrators and students.

Visitors to Spiegel Grove can learn more about Hayes’ connection to Paraguay.

The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is America’s first presidential library and the forerunner for the federal

presidential library system. It is partially funded by the state of Ohio and affiliated with the Ohio History Connection. The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is located at Spiegel Grove at the corner of Hayes and Buckland avenues.

Property auctioned Landscape Design by Jeff Moritz submitted the winning bid of $72,500 for property along Lemoyne Road that was auctioned by Lake Township.

The township purchased the property nine years ago. Two parcels sit between Lemoyne and I-280 and another is located on the east side of the interstate.

The purchase included the site of a former Ohio State Highway Patrol post that was closed in 2007 when the patrol opened a new Wood County post near Bowing Green.

Vicki Schwamberger, township fiscal officer, said there were about 10 registered bidders for the auction. She said the winning bidder also paid a buyer’s premium to the auctioneer, bringing the total price to $79,750.

Design Review Oregon’s Architectural Design Review Committee has scheduled a meeting on Tuesday, November 20, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. for review of the architectural requirements requested at 2601 Navarre Avenue.

The Lucas Soil and Water Conservation District (Lucas SWCD) announced the reelection of Stephen Loeffler of Berkey, Ohio for the role of board supervisor for the district.

Loeffler has served on the Lucas SWCD Board since 2012. He has been farming in Lucas County for 41 years and has additional experience in livestock and ditch maintenance.

Loeffler said he views the role of the Lucas SWCD as managing water resources, conserving soil/water/wildlife, and continuing to bring conservation into the classroom so young people can see the importance of natural resources.

The voting polls were open from 5:306:30 p.m. prior to the district’s annual meeting on Nov. 1. Eligible Lucas County residents and landowners were invited to vote and absentee ballots were available upon request.

Like the other SWCDs across Ohio, the Lucas SWCD is governed by a board of five members who are publicly elected by county residents. Board supervisors determine the district’s long-term strategic goals, hire staff and approve all budget decisions.

Regular board meetings are held monthly and supervisors serve staggered three-year terms, so there is an election every year.

One Genoa broadcaster to another — ‘You’ll be missed’ I knew that once oppressive August gave way to September it would become a sobering reality. My friend, brother, and longtime broadcasting partner, Rick Waldron, is gone.

Waldron, who I affectionately called “R-Dub” during all of our years in the booth together, passed away June 20, 2018 at the age of 71 after being blindsided by a massive stroke.

After I received the jolting message from his daughter, Kim, somewhere in the middle of that dark night, and even as I sat stunned and silent in a pew at St. John Lutheran Church in Williston watching a video celebrating his life at his funeral service more than a week later, my mind started whirring about the good times and adventures my friend and I shared over the past decade.

Here, Rick, our wives, and I shared a couple of pounds of perch at the Tackle Box 2 in Fremont in the summer of 2012.

There, the two of us made a pilgrimage to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton in the winter of 2014, where we wandered those hallowed halls for hours, and chattered excitedly about the exhibits, the rich history, and the useless, but entertaining minutiae of the game we both so loved, like two boys on Christmas morning.

Everywhere, and during every sports season, we’d fire off text-after-text at one another, about some game or other we were both watching, and we’d analyze it for hours, talk trash, OMG, SMH, LOL, and LMAO…he in his La-Z-Boy at the Brookwood Apartments on State Route 51, me about a mile or so away on my couch on Buckeye Street in Genoa. Separate, but, never far apart when a game was on.

You see, it was our mutual love of sports, and particularly a shared passion for Genoa high school football, not to mention our journalism backgrounds, that brought us together. Rick and I were teamed up by area sports radio producer Mike Jameson and Toledo Sports Network to call the action in the Comets’ 2008 showdown with rival Lake.

After a Genoa win, I went home from the press box feeling like I’d personally gained a “W,” too. I’d discovered a new niche on the local sports media scene, but, more importantly, I’d found instant, unmistakable chemistry with another person on the air.

“Jamo” must have thought so, too, as he invited us back to call the regular season finale against Otsego the very next week, and, the first-ever playoff game hosted at Genoa Comets Stadium the week after that.

It went on and on, into the playoffs.

All of which, unbeknownst to us at the time, would culminate in a friendship that would go on to be rooted in career milestones, a genuine joy of working together, mutual respect for each others’ abilities, brotherly love, loyalty, and nearly 10 years of life-affirming memories.

For example, Rick knew every greasy spoon, burger joint, sports bar, pizzeria, et al to score a satisfying, stick-to-yourribs postgame meal from Route 6 between Sandusky and Napoleon; to up and down Interstate 75 from Toledo to Ada. ‘We’ve got triple aces’ Still, our broadcasting adventures

didn’t solely revolve around food and Comets’ football, as we also called basketball for TSN, and then WRSCsports.com, a free streaming sports source aptly nicknamed “The Score” and formed by Rick and his two business partners, Mark Reeves and Alan Singlar, in the summer of 2009.

During “The Score’s” run, we broadcasted Comets’ baseball from Fifth Third Field, the National Amateur Baseball Federation College World Series from Ned Skeldon Stadium, amateur boxing from Promenade Park and at the Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel, mixed martial arts, live high school football preview shows, and a smorgasbord of other events.

Later, we started up Underdogs Sports Radio with our mutual friend Andrew Vogelpohl in 2015. We scaled way back on the types of events we covered, but let ourselves off the proverbial leash as we saw our broadcasts, video work, on-field interviews, and written content for our Facebook page take us outside the Genoa area. We went to Bowling Green, Sylvania, Tiffin, Sandusky, and even further to places like North Baltimore, Leipsic, Miller City, and Piqua.

Again, Rick, our broadcasting teams, and I collected memories.

Like the first game we called together, when we noticed that the Comet offense was scoring with about the same frequency as the freight trains were rumbling through nearby Clay Center on the mainline. That gave birth to a fantastic, spontaneous call we’d use over and over again in the years to come: “Well, just like the train rumbling through Clay Center just now, the Comets’ offense is once again right on time, folks!

It’s 28-0, Genoa!”

During what Rick and I would come to coin “the Golden Era of Comets’ Sports,” we broadcasted live from what we called “the Comet Camper Caravan” on a few occasions, which was, and, still is, exactly what it sounds like…a caravan of mobile homes and RVs driven by Genoa football fans to both home and away games, where they’d set up little villages, throw tons of delicious food on the grill, toss the football and corn hole bags around, blast loud music, and celebrate the culture of high school football.

We watched, and chuckled as the Comets danced their wacky victory dance on the giant “G” at midfield to the Sugarhill Gang classic “Apache” whenever the team got a home win, which admittedly was a lot back in those days.

Over time, Rick had to call it quits due to health problems. Once my second daughter was born, I was forced to walk away from the microphone myself for a few years so I could concentrate on my two little girls.

Whenever I find myself sitting in the bleachers at Comet Volunteer Stadium, I can still hear that bass voice somewhere on the not-too-distant, telltale winter wind.

That voice keeps me warm. Those old, familiar calls make me smile. But then again,

Rick Waldron how could they not, seeing as how they provided a good part of the soundtrack to some of the best times of our broadcasting lives?

Calls like “We’ve got triple aces across the scoreboard” for when a contest was close, each team had one timeout remaining, and there was a minute left on the clock. There was “He yo-yos the rock” when a point guard stood at the top of the key dribbling while surveying his offense, and “She gets the hoop and the harm” for when a shot fell and a player drew the foul.

And, my personal favorite when we

PRESS The

called basketball games on Saturday nights, “Find a seat in church tomorrow!

Goodnight, everybody!”

Once again, I’m making my way up those bleachers to call a football game for TSN. I’ll probably be rusty, if not lousy, as I haven’t done color analysis in over two years. I might even well up, and have to step away from the microphone for a moment because my brother won’t be sitting in the usual spot directly to my left, in his old, familiar play-by-play chair.

Actually, when Rick’s health began to fail, I swore I’d never call another game. It just wouldn’t feel right. It wouldn’t be the same.

Yet, here I am. I guess I never could stay away from the booth for long as broadcasting is just too much in my blood. And, as a man of faith, while Rick may not be up there physically with me, I know he won’t be far, and that he’ll be nodding approvingly and encouraging me to go after my dreams as he always did in life, as he smiles down from the all-time best seat in the house.

I know I’ll see his face in the “triple aces” on the scoreboard. I know I’ll hear that familiar bass voice somewhere on the not-too-distant winter wind, or perhaps even blowing in on the cool rush of the freight trains rumbling through Clay Center on the mainline. Declaring, “There’s nothing to it, but to do it.”

Along with serving as Press sports editor and news writer in the 1990s, Waldron worked sports radio for WCWA, WSPD and 1470 The Ticket. Waldron, an ordained minister, was also a General Manager at WJYM and WPOS Christian radio stations. He was convicted of felony charges while at WPOSFM after being indicted with five counts of forgery, a fifth degree felony, and one count of grand theft, a fourth degree felony.

Mercy Health

St. V’s celebrates Burn Center “golden” anniversary Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Burn Center by hosting “A Golden Celebration” to honor the center’s achievements and recognize the lives saved since its founding.

Since opening on Dec. 7, 1967, the Burn Center at Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center has treated more than 9,000 patients.

The center began after a fiery explosion of a gasoline truck on the Anthony Wayne Trail in 1961 in which 14 people were seriously burned. The hospital saw a need to provide specialized care for burns, and opened its Burn Center as a result, joining only five other existing formal burn centers in the United States.

Even during the opening ceremonies of the Burn Center, the call was received that burn patients were being transported to the hospital.

“As a Level 1 Trauma Center, Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center offers the community comfort in knowing that we are here to help patients in the most critical situations and I’m thankful that a half century ago, our team recognized the need to offer this specialized type of care,” said Bob Baxter, president and CEO, Mercy Health – Toledo. “Now, more than 50 years later, we come together to give thanks to the many doctors and nurses who have over the years cared for our patients and to recognize the

The staff at Mercy Health - St. Vincent Medical Center’s Burn Unit joined former patients and community members in celebrating the unit’s 50th anniversary at an observance held Oct. 25. On hand were members of the Herdter family, who were among the first patients cared for in the unit after a house explosion injured several members of the family in September 1968. (Submitted photo) many patients we have been honored to serve.”

The Burn Center at Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center continues to provide our community with both acute Burn

Care as well as with fire prevention education. Looking to the future, the Burn Center will focus on providing comprehensive burn care, preparing for burn emergencies and disasters, and the education of our community.

The anniversary celebration included a history of the Burn Center, fire prevention practices and a presentation of the American Burn Association Scholarship.

Ovarian Cancer Connection named top-rated nonprofit The Ovarian Cancer Connection (OCC) has been named a “2018 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits.

The OCC provides financial support to women currently in treatment with gynecologic cancers throughout NW Ohio and SE Michigan. The OCC continues to raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of gynecologic cancer in the hope a diagnosis is found in the early stage because early detection is the key to long term survival.

“We are honored to be named a 2018 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” says Gini Steinke, Executive Director of the Ovarian Cancer Connection. We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including that 100 percent of the money raised stays right here in NW Ohio and SE Michigan.

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that the Ovarian Cancer Connection received from volunteers, donors and aid recipients. “I’m so proud to be a donor.

Seeing how many women in just our area are affected by ovarian cancer was an incredibly humbling experience. I was truly honored to meet so many amazing people.” “I can’t thank the OCC enough for your financial assistance during my time of

“Ovarian Cancer Connection is a great example of a nonprofit making a real difference in their community,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, “Their award is well-deserved recognition not only of their work, but the tremendous support they receive, as shown by the many outstanding reviews they have received from people who have direct experience working with Ovarian Cancer Connection.”

CVS completes rollout of time-delay safes in Ohio stores kets has proven to be a deterrent for pharmacy robbers,” said Alisa Ulrey, Division Vice President of CVS Pharmacy in Ohio.

“We know that time-delay safes, combined with other security policies and procedures in place at our stores, have drastically reduced robberies in our pharmacies and we are pleased to be able to implement them in all of our Ohio stores.”

The time-delay function cannot be overridden and is designed to serve as a deterrent to would-be pharmacy robbers whose goal is to enter and exit their robbery targets as quickly as possible. All CVS Pharmacy locations with time-delay safes are displaying highly-visible signage to inform the public that time-delay safes are in use to prevent on-demand access to controlled substance narcotics.

The implementation of time-delay safes across CVS Pharmacy stores in Ohio is the latest in a series of measures put in place by CVS Health to help combat prescription drug abuse in the state of Ohio.

Other initiatives aimed at preventing and addressing prescription drug abuse include community education, efforts to encourage safe disposal of unused medication and increasing access to the opioid overdose-reversal drug naloxone.

“

The installation of time-delay safes at pharmacies in several of our Ohio markets has proven to be a deterrent for pharmacy robbers.

“

CVS Pharmacy, the retail division of CVS Health recently announced that it has begun using time-delay safes in all of its 329 stores in Ohio, including pharmacies in Toledo, Cleveland and Akron.

The safes help prevent pharmacy robberies and combat the ongoing opioid epidemic by keeping controlled substance narcotic medications from being misused or abused by keeping them out of the hands of unauthorized individuals.

In addition, the safes will help CVS Pharmacy ensure the safety and well-being of its customers and employees.

Controlled substance narcotic medications that are sought after by robbers, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, are now stored in time-delay safes in every CVS Pharmacy store in the state of Ohio.

Time-delay safes help deter pharmacy robberies by electronically delaying the time it takes for pharmacy employees to be able to open the safe. In 2017, stores in Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton began using time-delay safes. Since those safes were installed, CVS Pharmacy has seen a 50 percent drop in pharmacy robberies in those markets.

“The installation of time-delay safes at pharmacies in several of our Ohio mar-

The company’s Pharmacists Teach program brings CVS Pharmacists to schools across the country to talk to students about the dangers of prescription drug abuse. More than 400,000 students across the country, including more than 15,000 in Ohio, have participated in the

program.

CVS Health has also completed installation of 29 safe medication disposal units in CVS Pharmacy stores in Ohio, in addition to the 38 units it has donated to Ohio law enforcement agencies. Nationwide, 750 safe medication disposal units have been installed in CVS Pharmacy locations, adding to the more than 900 units the company has donated to law enforcement agencies. In total, the company has facilitated more than 1,650 units nationwide, which have collected more than 480,000 pounds, or 217 metric tons of unwanted medication, including more than 18,000 pounds, or more than eight metric tons in Ohio alone. Increasing community access to safe medication disposal helps rid homes of unused medications that could otherwise be diverted, abused or contaminate the water supply if disposed of improperly.

Additionally, CVS Health has worked with 48 states – including Ohio – to increase access to the opioid overdose-reversal drug naloxone, also known as Narcan.

Patients can obtain this life-saving medication, which is a safe and effective antidote to opioid overdoses, without an individual prescription in these states.

AAP updates it’s policy statement on corporal punishment Corporal punishment – or the use of spanking as a disciplinary tool –increases aggression in young children in the long run and is ineffective in teaching a child responsibility and self-control. In fact, new evidence suggests that it may cause harm to the child by affecting normal brain development. Other methods that teach children right from wrong are safer and more effective.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strengthens its call to ban corporal punishment within an updated policy statement, “Effective Discipline to Raise Healthy Children,” which will be presented during the group’s 2018 National Conference & Exhibition in Orlando.

The policy statement, to be published in the December 2018 issue of Pediatrics also addresses the harm associated with verbal punishment, such as shaming or humiliation. The AAP supports educating

parents on more effective discipline strategies that teach appropriate behavior and protect the child and others from harm.

“The good news is, fewer parents support the use of spanking than they did in the past,” said Robert D. Sege, MD, PhD, and a past member of AAP Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect, an author of the policy statement. “Yet corporal punishment remains legal in many states, despite evidence that it harms kids - not only physically and mentally, but in how they perform at school and how they interact with other children.”

Corporal punishment and harsh verbal abuse may cause a child to be fearful in the short term but does not improve behavior over the long term and may cause more aggressive behaviors, according to the AAP. In one study, young children who were spanked more than twice a

through with them.”

AAP recommends that pediatricians use their influence in office visits to help parents with age-appropriate strategies for handling their child’s discipline. They also may refer families to community resources for more intensive or targeted help.

The policy statement provides educational resources where physicians and parents can learn healthy forms of discipline, such as limit setting, redirecting and setting expectations.

AAP also opposes corporal punishment in schools, which is addressed in a separate policy statement published in 2000.

“There’s no benefit to spanking,” Dr. Sege said. “We know that children grow and develop better with positive role modeling and by setting healthy limits.

We can do better.”

month at age 3 were more aggressive at age 5. Those same children at age 9 still exhibited negative behaviors and lower receptive vocabulary scores, according to the research.

Research has shown that striking a child, yelling at or shaming them can elevate stress hormones and lead to changes in the brain’s architecture.

Harsh verbal abuse is also linked to mental health problems in preteens and adolescents.

Experts hope to help families devise more effective disciplinary plans that help them to maintain a calm and controled demeanor.

“It’s best to begin with the premise of rewarding positive behavior,” said Benjamin S. Siegel, MD, FAAP, co-author of the policy statement. “Parents can set up rules and expectations in advance.

Survey:

Few women told breastfeeding can lower cancer risk A new survey shows that although nearly 60 percent of breastfeeding mothers knew about the link between breastfeeding and breast cancer risk reduction, just 16 percent say they learned this from a medical professional. This is concerning, says study principal investigator Bhuvana Ramaswamy, MD, because women should be informed that breastfeeding can reduce breast cancer risk and improve mother’s health.

Epidemiological studies show strong correlation between prolonged breastfeeding and reduced risk of developing triple negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of breast cancer. This knowledge is especially relevant for African American women considering whether to breastfeed, who are two times more likely to develop triple negative breast cancer when compared with women of other ethnicities.

“We have a duty as a medical community to ensure our patients have reliable knowledge,” said Ramaswamy, breast medical oncology division director at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). “When it comes from a professional, medical information is much more likely to affect people’s choices.

When it comes to breast cancer specifically, prevention is the best outcome.”

For this study, OSUCCC – James researchers conducted a survey of 724 women who had at least one live birth. Survey respondents were recruited through the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center primary care practices and a national clinical research registry.

While a majority of respondents – 92 percent – reported that they had chosen to breastfeed, only 56 percent of all respondents noted that they were aware of the link between prolonged breastfeeding and

She made the decision to breastfeed with both of her children, but says her healthcare provider did not inform her about how breastfeeding could benefit her own health in addition to the health of her baby. breast cancer risk reduction prior to making the decision. Among those that did not breastfeed, 59 percent say that knowledge of this risk reduction would have impacted their decision to breastfeed.

The data was published in the medical journal, Breastfeeding Medicine.

Ongoing research The survey was part of larger research effort at the OSUCCC - James exploring the specific mechanisms of how breastfeeding reduces a woman’s risk for breast cancer.

Previous studies suggest that giving birth and breastfeeding lowers a woman’s

overall risk of developing breast cancer, with the most recent data pointing to breastfeeding being protective specifically against triple-negative breast cancers.

African-American/black women have a disproportionately high rate of developing aggressive triple-negative breast cancer while also having higher birth rates and lower rates of breastfeeding. Research has also shown that women native to Africa have higher rates of breastfeeding and lower rates of breast cancer. The reasons how breastfeeding affect breast cancer risk remain unclear but research suggests that it may be related to pro-inflammatory processes coordinated by STAT3 activation.

Ramaswamy is leading a basic science study that will test the hypothesis that an overarching biologic mechanism of altered STAT3 activation triggering a proliferative/ inflammatory environment in the breast tissue that did not undergo gradual involution following pregnancy and prolonged breastfeeding results in a higher risk for breast cancer. Knowledge gained in this study is expected to enhance knowledge of the biological mechanisms underlying the connection between breastfeeding and breast cancer risk, particularly difficult-totreat triple-negative breast cancers. This will also help identify prevention strategies for mothers who are unable to breastfeed.

The ongoing study is funded by Pelotonia, a grassroots cycling event that has raised more than $156 million for cancer research conducted at the OSUCCC – James.

American Legion closing in on 100th anniversary

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com As Americans celebrated Veterans Day Sunday, the American Legion began a yearlong celebration of 100 years in existence.

The American Legion is an organization comprised of veterans that served their country during war time. The U.S. Congress granted the American Legion a national charter in September 1919.

Interestingly, Elmore, Ohio’s Legion Post 279 was founded on December 10 of that year, making it one of earliest Legion Post’s in Northwest Ohio.

The Elmore post has a rich history. “Although much of our current membership is made up of Vietnam era vets we currently have nine members from WWII and 15 from the Korean war,� said Elmore Community Post 279 Commander Ron Distel. “All of our veterans served this country for everyone; the truck driver; the teacher; the mechanic; the nurse, and every other American. When you say to a veteran, ‘Thank you for your Service,’ step back, think and remember. They left their families and friends for years at a time to protect you and this great country,� Distel continues “It was vital to the many survivors of war, that you are their heroes. Without you, many war veterans probably could not have returned home.�

Richard Kuhlman, 1st Vice Commander, said, “Many of our veterans continue to serve this land in their communities, participating in Memorial Day parades, Veterans Day activities, and sponsoring scout packs and troops. “Each post has the ability to send high school students to Boys State and Girls State, a weeklong government forming forum. It can be a week that changes a lifetime. Ohio has the best program in the nation,� Kuhlman continues. “We support our villages, towns and cities whenever we are asked to help. The American Legion also supports an Auxiliary Unit that is very active in veterans’ needs. Also, a group named Sons of the American Legion is active in the same areas. Some posts, like Post 279, have an American Legion Riders Chapter. These motorcycle enthusiasts support veterans that are residents in state run homes.�

While some veterans feel that they are not eligible to join the American Legion, they may be simply mistaken. “The American Legion is unique in membership qualifications. It is a fact that many did serve in a war or declared conflict zones, however many did not. Many of our brave veterans served in support of those positioned in perilous areas,� Distel said.

Kuhlman adds, “The powers to be made the decisions that some would go into harm’s way, and some would be assigned to do everything possible to make certain that those placed in combat situations were

given every available chance to come back home. Veterans are the backbone of ‘our rights and freedom.’ Importantly, every veteran wrote this country a blank check, up to and including their life.�

If you have served federal active duty in the United States Armed Forces during any of the war eras listed below and have been honorably discharged or are still serving, you are eligible for membership in the American Legion. • World War I (April 6, 1917-November 11, 1918) • World War II (December 7, 1941-December 31, 1946) • Korean War (June 25, 1950-January 31, 1955) • Vietnam War (February 28, 1961May 7, 1975) • Lebanon/Grenada (August 24, 1982July 31, 1984) • Panama (December 20, 1989-January 31, 1990) • Gulf War/War on Terrorism (August 2, 1990-present) “If you are a veteran of war and are not a member of the American Legion, we encourage you to join. One of The American Legion’s mottos is ‘Veterans Still Serving America.’ We are here for you,â€? Distel said.

Kuhlman adds, “Happy Birthday and God Bless the American Legion and the United States of America.�

For membership, Kuhlman can be reached at 419-862-2417.

One of the key functions of the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is to help nursing homes and other longterm care providers in Ohio continuously improve the care and services they provide.

Caring for adults with dementia can be especially challenging. To do so most effectively, caregivers should get to know the individual so that they can respond to their needs more directly. Unfortunately, with limited time and resources, nursing homes across the country have relied too heavily on medications as the quickest and most direct way to address difficult behaviors.

As a result, anti-psychotic medications have been given to too many residents.

This practice has been identified as dangerous or potentially fatal for those with dementia.

While medication often works in suppressing the undesired behavior, it does nothing to address the underlying cause or causes of that behavior. We know from extensive research that when nursing home

staff are fully engaged with those they care for, they can help them experience the best possible quality of life and reduce the reliance on possibly unnecessary and dangerous medications.

To help nursing homes shift from medications to a person-centered approach, the Ohio Department of Medicaid and the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have allowed us to leverage grant funds to improve resident care. The grant is funded through fines levied on nursing homes that are cited for poor quality of care. Turning these funds into grant proj-

ects that improve quality is a creative approach to improving resident care.

The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is working with the Eden Alternative to make a unique educational package of training programs available to Ohio nursing homes. These programs have been proven to build staff confidence in using non-medication approaches in dementia care. Eden Alternative is an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to transforming care environments into habitats that promote quality of life for all involved. Research has shown this leads to improved quality of care and higher rates of satisfaction for everyone involved, while also benefitting the bottom line of provider organizations.

We will fund as many as 100 Ohio nursing homes to combine the Eden Alternative’s Dementia Beyond Drugs, Reframing Dementia: Train the Change Agent, and Care Partner Workshop training programs. Limited registration for this quality improvement initiative is now open. Learn more: https://2dff35.campgn4. com/Creating-a-Culture-of-PersonDirectedDementia-Care-in-Ohio.

Medicare Open Enrollment gives seniors chance to save AARP is encouraging all seniors to review their Medicare health and prescription coverage during this year’s Medicare Open Enrollment period, which runs through Dec. 7 – and compare plans to see if there is a plan that better suits their health needs for 2019.

“Medicare health and prescription drug cost-sharing can vary widely between plans for the same drug or service from year to year,” said Lina Walker, PhD, Vice President in AARP Public Policy Institute.

“We strongly recommend that everyone look at the Annual Notice of Change from their insurer and understand all the changes to their plans, if any. People should have received these notices by September 30.”

Medicare plans often change their benefits every year. For instance, plans typically change their drug formularies each year, which can lead to considerably higher outof-pocket costs for seniors if they stay with the same plan.

6 New Improvements Coming to Medicare for 2019 • Medicare Part D doughnut hole closes for brand-name drugs.

• No caps on coverage for physical, speech, or occupational therapy.

• New Medicare cards without Social Security numbers.

• New features & tools on Medicare.gov.

• New Medicare Advantage benefits for eligible enrollees, which could include:

meal delivery, transportation to doctor appointments, home safety devices, in-home assistance, and more.

• Extra time to switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or return to original Medicare.

Changes you can make during enrollment • Switch from traditional Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, or vice versa.

• Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.

• Switch from one Medicare Part D prescription drug plan to another.

• Drop Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

• Join a Medicare Part D drug plan if you

didn’t sign up when you were first eligible. “ We know that roughly 80 percent of people stay in the same Medicare plan year to year,” said Walker. “But those who do change usually choose plans that reduce their costs. With so many people struggling with high prescription drug prices, people really should be looking at all of their Medicare plan options each year.”

Diabetes affects approximately one of every 11 people in the United States.

In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every four of those with the condition do not even know that they have it. This is because diabetes, along with its effects on the eyes, produce no symptoms at early stages.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body can no longer properly process food for energy. The chronic buildup of glucose in the bloodstream damages blood vessel walls thus restricting blood flow. This eventually damages organs, including the eyes.

Diabetic eye disease is a group of conditions that, in severe stages, can cause blindness. Risk factors include the duration that the person is diabetic, blood glucose control, other cardiovascular diseases and smoking. The most common type of diabetic eye disease is diabetic retinopathy. This is classified into subgroups: non-proliferative or proliferative.

In non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, damage to the blood vessels cause them to leak and close off inside of the eye, specifically in the retina.

In the case of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the lack of proper blood flow induces the body to produce new blood vessels. These new blood vessels leak even more and lead to scarring.

This further damages the retina.

Your primary care physician can give you the value of your HbA1C, you should be familiar with what it is, and the best ways to keep this value within normal range. In addition, eye examinations with your optometrist are vital in order to detect diabetic eye disease.

Maintaining routine eye examinations will help save your sight by providing early detection in this ‘silent’ disease process and by allowing proper intervention to minimize any impact on your vision.

For more info or to schedule an appointment, call Midwest Eye Consultants or Cataract & Laser Institute.

O’Connor highlights importance of dementia support

By Beverley Laubert Director, Ohio Department of Aging Last month, Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States, made the courageous public announcement that she has been living with dementia.

In a statement, O’Connor said, “While Sandra the final chapter of my O’Conner life with dementia may be trying, nothing has diminished my gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessings in my life.� Ohio and the nation certainly benefitted from her more than two decades in the nation’s most important courtroom, and our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this diffi-

cult time, as is our appreciation for her long and accomplished career.

There are many types of dementia; Alzheimer’s disease, which O’Connor likely has, is perhaps the best-known condition that causes dementia, affecting more than 220,000 Ohioans. The total number of people living with all types of dementia is unknown, as diagnosis can be difficult. Leading health organizations around the world are working to find a cure for Alzheimer’s and other dementias. As important as finding a cure is, O’Connor’s announcement reminds us that we must not ignore that there are hundreds of thousands of Ohioans who are focused on the day-to-day challenges of living with or caring for someone with dementia.

People living with dementia, and their caregivers, are significant members of our communities who deserve to be included and accepted, even as their needs and abilities change. For this reason, the Ohio Department of Aging included dementia throughout Ohio’s State Plan on Aging

As the holiday season is fast approaching, we all need to be aware of issues that can put a dent in the celebrations of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.

It is human nature to exhibit a more giving heart during the holidays, but be aware there are unscrupulous people who will take advantage of it.

We have talked in the past about how to prevent being swindled out of your money, but during the holidays, you may receive calls from supposed charities about which you are unfamiliar—charities that ask you make a holiday donation.

Never make a donation to an unfamiliar charity without first checking it out with the Better Business Bureau. This agency tracks legitimate and not-so-legitimate charities, and they can inform you if they have received negative information about the one seeking a donation from you.

There are legitimate charities seeking donations around the holidays, but they may employ a business to make phone calls as part of the fundraising effort.

As you are out doing your holiday shopping, always be aware of your surroundings. Keep a watchful eye for suspicious persons, and if you are walking, don’t be afraid to duck into a business if you feel you are being followed.

Avoid carrying purses with long straps and keep the purse close. Never let it hang as it makes an easy target for a quick graband-run theft. The same goes for packages you may be carrying—keep them close to your body.

It may be a good idea not to carry your cellphone in your purse. If someone makes off with the purse, you would not have a way to call 9-1-1 if the thief has your phone.

Men should keep wallets and credit

t r o f m o c

cards in their front pockets, where they are much harder to steal.

If someone attacks you, give up the goods. You could be seriously hurt or worse if you fight back.

Make frequent trips to your vehicle to place the packages securely inside and lock it. Put them in the trunk or in a covered area of an SUV. If your SUV is not equipped with a cover, take a blanket that closely matches the interior color of your vehicle and place the packages under the blanket.

If you must stop at an ATM to make a transaction, use a drive-up machine and try to do this during daylight hours.

2019-2022, which was approved by the U.S. Administration for Community Living last month.

Our State Plan infuses brain health and cognitive health into overall population health so that we can reduce the stigma of brain failure by educating and empowering Ohioans to learn more about their brains, how their brains play a crucial role in the efficiencies of their bodies, and how to have conversations with healthcare providers when our brains may not perform optimally.

Incorporating dementia into the State Plan on Aging, rather than having a separate state dementia plan, ensures that goals related to dementia are managed and have the same strategic oversight as other important and interrelated goals, such as caregiver support, access to information, aging in place and even civic engagement.

Over the next four years, the Ohio Department of Aging will provide communities with the tools to engage, empower and support people living with dementia and their caregivers.

AŌer surgery, tell your doctor

League suggests ways to prepare for retirement Planning for retirement can be daunting, leaving even the most-prepared individuals feeling anxious.

In an Ohio Credit Union League 2018 consumer survey, 92 percent of respondents said they had at least one major financial concern about retirement. A majority of the survey’s respondents, about 74.6 percent, don’t plan to retire from full-time employment in the next five years, if ever.

Ohioans’ financial fears surrounding retirement vary. Most, 27.5 percent, fear they won’t have time to save what they need. Another 24.8 percent are afraid they’ll lose what they’ve invested in retirement accounts due to stock market fluctuations, and 24.1 percent worry they just don’t know what they need for retirement.

Ohioans aren’t alone with their retirement jitters. In a study of 3,000 Americans by financial firm Allianz Life, 63 percent reported that they fear running out of money in retirement more than they fear death. The study, which included 1,000 Baby Boomers, 1,000 Gen Xers, and 1,000 Millennials, found that half of Baby Boomers believe it is impossible to determine retirement expenses. Another 32 percent of Baby Boomers nationwide are unsure they’ll ever be able to retire, and 18 percent of Ohioans feel the same way.

These fears are understandable; saving for retirement can be overwhelming.

Conventional wisdom once dictated that workers should save $1 million by the time they retire, but experts now suggest that won’t be enough, according to a U.S. News and World Report article.

Experts traditionally suggested retired people withdraw 4 percent of their savings each year. That would leave a retiree who has a $1 million nest egg about $40,000 to spend annually. On average, adults 65 and older spend almost $46,000 a year, according to a GoBankingRates survey. With those same withdraw rates in mind, the average retiree would need to save closer to $1.15 million before leaving the workforce.

Many Americans aren’t ready for that reality. According to GoBankingRates, 42 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 14 percent have nothing saved.

But retirement statistics aren’t completely bleak. Saving for the end of a career may be intimidating, but Americans have been improving.

Baby Boomers in the Allianz study showed signs of actively securing help with their retirement savings, a move they hadn’t successfully made in the past. In 2010, 46 percent of Boomers said they lacked the tools to figure out how to save for retirement. That number dropped to 36 percent in the most recent study.

Most Ohioans, 74 percent, are also proactively seeking help saving for retirement. According to the Ohio Credit Union League consumer survey, 26 percent of respondents employ a financial planner.

Another 16.7 percent seek help from family and friends, while 9.3 percent seek help from online resources found in Google searches.

Being proactive can pay off when it comes to retirement. Here are some savings tips to help you prepare.

Start now. The earlier you can start

saving for retirement, the better prepared you’ll be. Money in retirement savings accounts accrues compound interest, meaning each year the money in that account generates earnings which, in turn, generate their own earnings. The longer the money sits in the account, the more earnings it generates.

Automate your savings. It can be difficult to put away money for a retirement that can be decades away when you’re focused on affording the present. You may be tempted to spend that money on bills, groceries, and other immediate necessities.

Consider setting up your retirement savings to pull directly from each paycheck.

The money will never hit your checking account, so you’ll be less inclined to spend it on daily necessities.

Increase savings with increased funds.

While it can be beneficial to automate your savings, it’s equally as important to revisit your retirement account contributions over time. If you receive a raise, for example, consider increasing the amount you’re contributing to your 401(k). Also, consider saving a portion of the money from any bonuses or tax refunds you receive throughout the year.

Make sure you’re getting your company’s match. If your employer offers a match to your employee retirement plan, make sure you’re contributing enough to receive it. Otherwise, you’ll be leaving money on the table that could have helped toward your retirement goal.

Take advantage of government aid.

The U.S. government provides incentives for those saving for retirement. For instance, middle- or lower-income taxpayers can claim a tax credit for up to 50 percent of their retirement plans. The maximum credit is $4,000 per couple and $2,000 per individual filer. You can also take advantage of catch-up contributions if you’re age 50 or older. Yearly contributions to IRAs and 401(k) plans are limited, but once you reach 50, you’re eligible to contribute beyond those limits.

Seek help. Saving for retirement is a major undertaking and one that can be confusing. There are online resources available (AARP has a retirement calculator available that can help determine whether you’re on track, for example), but often personal advice can be helpful. Consider hiring a professional financial advisor or utilizing help from your financial institution.

Credit unions employ financial advisors and Certified Credit Union Financial Counselors who can help members get on the right track for retirement.

philosophers and psalmists than it does about the world. Life is surely also a source of great pleasure and indescribable beauty, and many of us find meaning in life precisely to the extent that we help to relieve the suffering of ourselves and others. We shouldn’t deny the pain and suffering inherent in the world, but we shouldn’t fall prey to the delusion that it is all there is to the world. “Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” —Psalm 34:12-14 NIV
