South Shore Veterans Park

Oregon to move forward with improvements Oregon has scheduled improvements for the South Shore Veterans Park area this year and next year after holding several meetings to gauge public input on redeveloping the park. The city has received professional engineering analysis, as well as ideas from the public on proposed features of a revised park. Ideas offered at previous meetings included a splash pad, gazebos, enhancement of the Haley Boardwalk, development of a natural beach area, facilitating the launch of kayaks or stand-up paddle boards, a fishing pier or short dock, sand volleyball, and relocating Fire Station No. 3 from its current location about a mile from the park to

the southeast corner of the park. The project is still in the discussion phase, but there are some features the city will complete this year, according to City

Administrator Mike Beazley. Those include: •Improving drainage by raising and paving a half mile segment of the walking trail. The trail currently consists of crushed limestone. “In some places, we have drainage challenges in that area. There are places where we can bring it up a little bit higher to keep it a little drier,” said Beazley. “We’re also going to pave it, making it a better experience for people who go to the park.” •Install a pedestrian bridge over the Big Ditch Creek. “There’s a sledding hill out there. The pedestrian bridge would allow people to get between the walking trail area and the sledding hill,” said Beazley. Continued on page 2

A bill to allocate more funding for reducing phosphorus levels in Lake Erie will be sent to Gov. John Kasich by the end of this month, State Sen. Randy Gardner, RBowling Green, said. The Senate voted 33-0 Wednesday on Senate Bill 299, sponsored by Gardner, and a companion bill, sponsored by Steven Arndt, R – Port Clinton, is pending in the House finance committee. Sen. Gardner said Thursday he expects one of the bills to be on the governor’s desk this month. “Our goal is to have one of these two bills sent to the governor by the end of June,” Gardner said. “I think our sense of urgency on these bills should be equal to the sense of urgency we have to do more for Lake Erie.” Rep. Arndt, a member of the finance committee and a co-sponsor of House Bill 643, last week said committee chairman Ryan Smith informed him the panel would vote this month on the bill. The finance committee held its first hearing on the bill May 16 with Arndt providing testimony. Hearings were also held May 22 and 23 when the committee heard from proponents, including farm organizations representing grain growers and dairy, cattle, poultry and pork producers as well as the Conneaut city manager and the County Commissioners Association of Ohio. In 2015, Ohio, Michigan and Canada entered into an agreement to reduce phosphorus levels in the lake by 40 percent by 2025. However, current efforts aren’t enough to meet that goal, Arndt testified. He said HB 643 and the companion bill approved by the Senate, follow the recommendations of a 2017 white paper to meet the 40 percent reduction level. “That was the blueprint for the legislation,” Arndt said. “It covered four areas they thought would allow us to get back on track for the 40 percent reduction in phosphorus Continued on page 2

Lake bill

South Shore Veterans Park

Continued from front page

Oregon to move forward with improvements Continued from front page •Upgrade paving in the parking lot. •Improve drainage in the playground area. “We will install tile that will drain that low area to our ditch system off site,” he said. •Replace Haley Boardwalk signage. “The signage right now is weather-worn,” he said. 2019 projects Projects proposed for the park next year include: •The addition of a crosswalk and signage if Bayshore Road is not to be relocated. Previously, a top priority of the project was to relocate Bay Shore Road further south. It currently runs between the park and along the edge of Lake Erie. The goal was to provide the park property with uninterrupted access to the lake. Headed east on Bay Shore Road, approaching the Haley Boardwalk, the road would curve in a southerly direction toward the rear of the park, then end on Stadium Road, if it were relocated. It would put most of the park right on the waterfront since the public would no longer have to cross Bay Shore Road to access the lake. The property in front of the Haley Boardwalk would be

lakefront property. But Beazley said that feature has been unpopular with the public at the meetings. “We’ve pushed back on that enthusiasm,” he said. “It looks like the direction we’re heading in based on the consensus of the council and the mayor, and listening to the community, is we’re not expecting to move Bay Shore Road,” he said. “There were enough people who felt they liked being able to drive along the lake shore. There are some people who want to be able to drive a car right up to the boardwalk. There are some concerns about access for public safety vehicles. We’re really getting close to the point that we’re looking at proposing alternatives that do not in-

clude moving the road. As we listened at these sessions, we heard people who wanted to move the road, and from people who didn’t. There was no strong push to move the road. We think we can achieve a lot of what the community is hoping for, like a traffic calming cross walk. We will be exploring those and presenting them at the next community meeting on the park.” •Improved lake access. “The Haley Boardwalk is in good shape and attractive. To protect the boardwalk, there is concrete rip rap. We would like to improve access to the lake for people with kayaks and small boats. Right now, it’s not easy to do that. We will have some plans for next year to find a practical way for lake access, like a pier to walk out on. We’re going to explore a number of options,” he said. •Updates to the gazebo and picnic areas. •A splash pad area. The splash pad will either be in South Shore Park, or the city’s recreation complex, said Beazley. “Right now, our direction is to look for a splash pad at our main recreation complex to complement our ball fields and soccer fields,” he said. Major projects to be determined in the future include a fire station with public restrooms, a boat launch, and a wetland and natural kayak area.

Luckey project: Soil in lagoon being removed

“

About 345 cubic yards of soil were excavated by May 24 from a lagoon at the former Brush Beryllium site near the Village of Luckey and placed in a feed pile until enough soil is available for processing, Arleen Kreusch, an outreach program specialist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said last week in an update of the project. Excavation work is currently focused in the southeast corner of the site along Gilbert Road. “Our primary activity now is ensuring our contamination control procedures are working as designed to prevent the movement of contaminants during the soils cleanup at the site. We are using dust control measures during the excavation, sorting, and stockpiling of site soils to ensure… contaminated soils do not become airborne during cleanup activities. Dust control measures in the excavation area include spraying water on the roads and using a water spray to dampen the materials as they are being excavated,” she said. A fixative is applied to the feed pile to

Specially designed nozzles spray a fine water mist on the soils as they move through the sorter to prevent airborne dust. The sorter uses a reversing conveyor to mechanically sort the excavated soils based on the radioactive cleanup goals for the site, which is a former beryllium production facility the Atomic Energy Commission op-

Bill Shupe of Elmore passed away unexpectedly on June 5th. He was born on August 14, 1935, to Albert and Susie Shupe of Genoa. He served in the U.S. Army and was a member of the Genoa Masonic Lodge #433. He served as a game warden and owned and operated his Lake Erie ſshing charter boat, “Shu-p-du.” Bill graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Education and retired from Woodward High School, where he taught biology and was a track and cross country coach. Bill was an avid ſsherman and hunter. He loved golſng, playing cards, watching old cowboy movies, and teasing and joking with friends. He leaves behind his wife, Patricia, of 55 years of marriage, son Jeffrey, daughter Kari, granddaughter Chloè, “Peanut,” his pride and joy, brother Robert (Lynette), his close nephew, Peter (Ashley), and his nieces, nephews and many friends.

loading into the western basin.” In his testimony, Rep. Arndt described the House bill as a “targeted funding solution bill” rather than a regulatory bill, providing both General Revenue Fund monies and capital funding to help address the phosphorus problem in the lake. The bills allocate: • $2.65 million in capital funds for a new research facility for the Ohio Sea Grant/ Stone Lab and in-lake monitoring equipment. • An additional $10 million in capital funding for the Healthy Lake Initiative to reduce open lake disposal of dredged materials. • Up to $3.5 million in general revenue funds to support county soil and water conservation districts in the western Lake Erie basin with soil testing, manure conversion technologies, enhanced filter strips and water management. • Up to $20 million in capital funding for the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Lake Erie Commission and Ohio Soil & Water Commission to establish programs to reduce total phosphorus and dissolved phosphorus in sub-watersheds of the western basin. “This is a targeted approach in the watersheds. We now know where the critical areas are and can be very focused on strategically implementing these funds. This bill is a two-year bill to implement some of these strategies,” Arndt said. James Hockaday, city manager of Conneaut, told the committee that the city in two years will be required to have a facility operating to take in dredged material. “We anticipate removing 60,000 cubic yards of material every two years. Currently, the regulations do not affect private dredging - which in the case of Conneaut produces a nearly equal volume of material to that in the federal channel. We believe that all dredging should be treated equal due to the potential for both to harm the water quality of the lake,” he said. Greg Labarge, associate professor of the College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University, testified in support of Senate Bill 299, the companion bill to HB 643. A member of the team that authored the white paper, Labarge told the senate finance committee the investment in the Stone Lab and Sea Grant program was needed. “Both the lab and Ohio Sea Grant are essential to the state’s efforts to assess Lake Erie’s health and inform management decisions. It should be noted that the amount of baseline data collected in Lake Erie and its tributaries has and continues to suffer from lack of financial support,” he said. Harmful algal blooms, the excessive growths of toxin-producing algae that form in Lake Erie during the summer, are triggered primarily by excess phosphorus.

erated in the 1950s as part of the national defense program. The Corps has identified soils contaminated with beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234 and uranium-238 for removal. Soils which contain radioactive contamination greater than the Corps’ cleanup goals are diverted and loaded directly from the conveyor belt into containers for offsite disposal. Soils which contain radioactive contamination that meets or is below the goals for radioactive contamination are stacked in 100-cubic yard stockpiles. The stockpiles are then sampled for beryllium, lead, and other contaminants. Soils which are above the site cleanup goals for beryllium and lead will be packaged and transported off-site for disposal. Soils that meet or are below the site goals for beryllium and lead may be used as backfill in the excavation areas or remain on-site. “We will publish a news update when we expect transportation of … materials for disposal at the US Ecology facility in Wayne, Michigan, to begin,” Kreusch said.

BP volunteers to ‘Rock the Block’ in Harbor View By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Travis Mang of DTE Energy, Detroit, trims some overgrown brush in Harbor View. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) said. The refinery is located just three miles from the village. “We have had a long standing relationship with BP. The company really likes to give back to communities in which they are located. Harbor View is a neighboring community. BP wanted to do some work there. We reached out to the Harbor View police chief and presented the idea to him. He helped us then to go out into the community and find the homeowners who would benefit from Rock the Block. So we pre-identified projects and pre-identified the homeowners. There was an application people filled out so we knew the work they wanted to get done. And it didn’t cost them anything.”

Rock the Block exemplifies the cando spirit of neighbors helping neighbors that helps build stronger communities.

A success BP provided financial support and

close to 60 volunteers for the project in Harbor View, said McPartland.

“

Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity on Tuesday teamed up with BP Refinery for a one day cleanup effort in Harbor View. Over 50 BP Refinery employees, their families, and homeowners volunteered as part of the Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity’s Rock the Block program to perform small landscaping projects, remove trash and overgrown brush, and complete yard maintenance for residents that needed help in Harbor View. The cleanup effort started at 3 p.m. and lasted into the evening on June 5. “I am personally excited to get out and support our neighbors in their efforts to maintain and beautify Harbor View,” said Des Gillen, BP Refinery Manager. “Rock the Block exemplifies the can-do spirit of neighbors helping neighbors that helps build stronger communities.” Erin McPartland, development director at the non-profit Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity, said the Rock the Block initiative is part of the organization’s repair program. “It’s a neighborhood revitalization effort that we have as part of our repair program,” she told The Press last week. “We’ll partner with a leader in a community, like we did with BP and Harbor View. We’ll find homeowners that are in need of some cleanup and light exterior repairs, and we’ll work with a large volunteer group. We’ll go into that neighborhood over one day, or a couple of hours, and do a really big cleanup. The organization has partnered with block watch groups, community coalitions, and the parks system to cleanup neighborhoods. “It really just depends on that area and who the community leaders are in that area,” she said. Usually, someone within those groups will contact Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity to organize a Rock the Block cleanup effort in their communities, she said. “We look for a community partner. With Harbor View, it was BP Refinery,” she

“We organized all the work, we took the applications, and we made sure all the tools and expertise was there. Then BP brought out their employees as part of their employee engagement and volunteer initiative.” The cleanup in Harbor View was a success, she said. “We did a ton of projects, and they rocked the work. We did a lot of brush cleanup. We took down a shed that was falling, which was a health and safety hazard. We did a lot of tree trimming and overgrowth trimming, and cleaned up the exterior of a lot of houses,” she said. The Rock the Block program has been around for several years, she said. “Just last year, we partnered with BP to help clean up some of the Birmingham neighborhood area. We will be going back to Birmingham this year on September 8. There will be a different partner this time. We’re bringing other groups in from the community to volunteer for that effort.”

Spread the word She said her group is always looking for communities that would be interested in participating in Rock the Block. “We really love the program. We do a couple of them every year. We are always looking for neighborhoods to partner with. The more we spread the word about it, the better.” Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity, which works in Lucas County, helps people of moderate income build their own homes alongside volunteers. Homeowners also attend financial management and home maintenance classes in order to be self-reliant and stable in their homes. The group also has repair programs to partner with low-income homeowners to provide health and safety related repairs. ReStore, located with its offices on Conant Street in Maumee, sells new and gently used building materials, furniture and appliances to the public, with all profits supporting the group’s two programs. Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity is celebrating its 30 year anniversary this year. It has served over 700 individuals, including 471 children, since 1988.

Ag Notes GPS technology in farming highlighted Matt Liskai, co-owner, Green Field Ag, will discuss how farmers are changing the way they manage crops through precision agriculture at the Northwest Ohio Ag-Business Breakfast Forum, Thursday, June 21 from 8-9:30 a.m. The event is

hosted by the Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) at the Agricultural Incubator Foundation (AIF), located at 13737 Middleton Pike (SR 582) in Bowling Green. Precision agriculture involves the use of a global positioning system, or GPS, via satellites to help accurately manage crop yield. Liskai will discuss real-time kinematic technology – a satellite navigation technique used to enhance the precision of position data derived from satellite-based positioning systems, remote sensing technology, variable rate technology, spray control, GPS soil sampling and more. Green Field Ag, with locations in Gibsonburg, Ohio and Warren, Indiana, provides precision agriculture technology to farmers, including satellite guidance, farm drainage and precise application equipment solutions. Breakfast and informal networking will start at 8 a.m., with the program to follow. The cost is $10 per person for those who RSVP in advance, or $12 per person at the door without RSVP (cash or check) which includes breakfast and networking opportunities. Reserve a seat in advance by visiting ciftinnovation.org. The Northwest Ohio Ag-Business Breakfast Forum is an educational networking opportunity which provides information on current issues, trends and programs available to the agricultural community and those who support its advancement.

Road bids accepted for repaving A second round of seeking contract bids for repaving sections of Ayers and Millbury roads by the Lake Township trustees yielded two bids from contractors The trustees Tuesday opened bids from Expercon, Toledo, for $343,828 and from Bowers Asphalt, Walbridge, for $286,924. The bids will be reviewed by Dan McLargin, road supervisor, before a contract is awarded, Mark Hummer, township administrator, said. The township is looking to resurface Ayers Road, from Luckey Road to East Broadway and from East Broadway to the west for 315 feet.

Also, Millbury Road, from State Rt. 51 to Walbridge Road, and Millbury Road, from Walbridge Road to State Rt. 579, is part of the repaving project. Expercon submitted a bid of $343,828 and Bowers submitted a bid of $286,924. Last month, the trustees agreed to rebid the project after one company, Henry Bergman, Inc., submitted a bid of $345,806. Loan renewed In other business, the trustees agreed to renew a loan from GenoaBank for three years at an interest rate of 4.5 percent. The loan was originally taken out to

He said the current building is larger than the building it replaced and includes upgrades not covered by insurance. At the request of resident Sue Brinker, the trustees held a moment of silence for the seven persons who died as a result of the tornado: Ryan Walters, Mary Walters, Hayden Walters, Bailey Bowman, Kathleen Bowman, Kathleen Hammitt, Ted Kranz and Irwin Welling.

What makes you happy might surprise you Do you know exactly what makes you happy? Could you make a detailed list of your top 5 happiness components? Can you identify those activities which give you the most joy? In order to be happy, you have to engage in thoughts and behavior that makes you happy. Although each person has their own individualized list of happiness components, there are a number of happiness strategies which are shared by consistently happy people. I’ll review some of them here. First and foremost is a happiness mindset which results from a commitment to be happy. In this mode, you appreciate all of the good you do have, strive to make the best of any situation, and seek solutions to problems. Your focus is constantly on those positive elements you want to attract. This is especially important when you are going through tough times. Avoid becoming consumed with what is wrong by concentrating on the way you want things to be. Because of your happiness mindset, you don’t allow circumstances or other

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden people to detract from your happiness. You take control of your thoughts and emotions. A happiness mindset becomes your default outlook. Worry detracts from happiness. Worry is an obsession with all that could go wrong. Worriers are consumed with worst case scenarios. Worry has the potential to attract the very circumstances you are worrying about. Happy people spend little, if any time worrying. If they do find themselves worrying, they stop. They take action to change what they can, while letting go of whatever is outside of their control. They allow negative influences to roll off their back. Learning from the past, while living for today, is essential for being happy. Your past demonstrates what worked, and what

didn’t. Eliminate unsuccessful behavior in order to put your efforts into strategies which worked. Today is when you take the action necessary to get you closer to your goals. Don’t worry about the future, prepare for it. Now is when you make things happen. Living in the moment is how you squeeze the most happiness out of each day. Engage in positive self-talk. Fill your mind with thoughts of what you want. Every day, tell yourself what you can and will do. Negative concepts must be purged from your self-talk because they become self-imposed limitations. Happy people laugh because laughing triggers happiness. Laugh a lot. Look for the humor which exists in most situations. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Humor is an excellent way to lower stress. Take care of your mind. Happy people think happy thoughts. They focus on the positive. Happy people seek to make the best of every situation. They constantly look for solutions to any problems they encounter. Take care of your body. Happy people

maintain their physical wellbeing. Their diet allows them to maintain their body in a way which makes them happy. Happy people understand that getting regular exercise is also vital to their overall health. Happy people help others. Assisting another person not only benefits them, it provides you with satisfaction and happiness. Furthermore, when you help find solutions for someone else, you learn a lot about finding solutions for your own life. Today is the day to make any necessary changes to your happiness strategy. If you are not as happy as you would like, you have the power to fix it. Stop doing anything which is detracting from your happiness. Start engaging in those approaches used by happy people. You can be happy too. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

Is debt-free college education still possible? Letters By Josh Hoxie As May gives way to June, the last college grad ceremonies are wrapping up and the last parties are coming to a close. Now the job hunt for recent grads begins in earnest — with the looming specter of student loan payments drawing ever closer. Today’s average student debt is around $37,000. But in America’s largest state, it wasn’t that long ago that any student could get a world-class, debt-free education — regardless of their economic background. That state was California, and Gail Leondar-Wright was one of those students. Gail came from a middle-class family — her dad was an engineer and her mom a stay-at-home parent. She attended UC Berkeley from 1976 to 1980, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in theater. At the time, the elite public school was tuitionfree and required a mere $600 per year in fees, or just under $1,400 in today’s dollars. After graduating, she got her master’s, spent 10 years working in theater, and then launched a successful public relations firm still in operation today. “I had one job — just go to school and get good grades,” she recalls. “If I’d had to work throughout school or graduated with a ton of debt, I’d never have been able to start a business or take a risk working in a low-wage field like theater.” “There’s no reason today’s generation shouldn’t have the same opportunities my generation had, Gail says.” But they don’t. Just ask Erika Jimenez. She studied political science at California State University, East Bay and graduated last year. Tuition and fees were $6,840 per year by the time she graduated — not including room, board, books, and many incidentals. Unlike Gail, Erika worked through school, first in retail and then for the school’s teachers’ union. Still, Erika gradu-

Guest Editorial ated with $27,000 in student debt. A bill now shows up every month in her inbox for $283.95. She moved back in with her folks after graduating and picked up a job as a mini bar attendant at a local hotel — a far cry from her dream of working for a nonprofit. “I watched students struggle with financial aid the whole time I was in school and after,” Erika said. “Students are thinking about food, rent, books, and tuition while they should be thinking about class and homework and education.” Erika and Gail’s stories are two striking examples of the disparity between baby boomers and today’s generation. A new report I co-authored for the Institute for Policy Studies, called Restoring Opportunity: Taxing Wealth to Fund Higher Education in California, highlights these stories. The report points out that the skyrocketing cost of attending public colleges in California, up 70 percent after inflation from 2003 to 2016, tracks neatly with the elimination of the state estate tax in California, which resulted in $18 billion in lost revenue. The result has been a big increase in the burden faced by California families. Inspired by Bernie Sanders, the California College for All Coalition proposes restoring debt-free higher education in California by restoring the state estate tax. By taxing the estates of the few thousand multi-millionaires and billionaires in California, they estimate they could raise $4 billion a year to

expand college access. Their plan could pass through the state legislature or on the 2020 ballot, they hope. College for All would recycle opportunity for the rising generation by asking the heirs of massive fortunes to chip in. It’s a model that could also help millions of students in other states like Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. Josh Hoxie directs the Taxation and Opportunity Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.

Health Published second week of month.

Teenage girls urged to be cautious of harmful UV rays With school out for summer, many teen girls are likely eager to get out of school and spend time outside — and some may want to get a tan, but a new public service advertisement from the American Academy of Dermatology encourages those who are thinking of tanning to think again. The new AAD PSA, “Protect Yourselfie” uses social media imagery to remind teenage girls that tanning could lead to skin cancer and premature aging and encourages them to protect their skin from harmful ultraviolet rays. Melanoma is the second most common cancer in young women ages 15-29, and research suggests that the majority of melanoma cases are attributable to UV exposure from the sun and indoor tanning beds. “We hope this PSA reminds young women that tanning is dangerous — and potentially deadly,” says board-certified dermatologist Suzanne M. Olbricht, MD,

FAAD, president of the AAD. “Every time you tan, including trying to get a base tan, you increase your risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, which kills one person every hour. On top of that, UV rays can make your skin age prematurely, leading to wrinkles and age spots. Don’t try to change your skin by tanning; keep it safe by protecting yourself from harmful UV exposure.” The AAD encourages everyone, including young women, to take steps to prevent skin cancer: staying out of indoor tanning beds, and protecting themselves from the sun by seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and using a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. To learn more about how to protect your skin and prevent skin cancer, visit ProtectYourselfie.net.

THE SUN’S HOT. SKIN CANCER’S NOT. Every time you go outside or use an indoor tanning bed, your skin is exposed to damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Not only can this cause premature skin aging (hello, wrinkles!), it also increases your risk of getting skin cancer, including melanoma —

the second most common cancer in women ages 15 to 29. TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN, FOLLOW THESE TIPS:

fairgrounds hall at 6:30 p.m. Raffles, games, fun activities and themed walking laps will go on throughout the evening. The luminaria ceremony – a highlight of every Relay for Life event – will conclude the evening at 9 p.m. The ceremony features numerous bags with illuminated candles placed around the pathway in honor or in memory of those who have battled cancer. “Each bag has its own story to tell,” said Tami Coppes, event lead. “Relay For Life is not a run. It’s not a race,” she said. “It’s communities joining together in the fight against cancer.” For more info about Relay For Life contact Kim Coppes at 419-265-2789 or Tami Coppes at 419-270-2194.

Ohioans reminded to take steps to stay healthy at fairs As millions of Ohioans prepare to visit any of Ohio’s 94 fairs, leaders at the Ohio Departments of Agriculture (ODA) and Health (ODH) want to encourage guests to practice good hygiene when visiting livestock exhibits this summer. Visitors should always wash their hands with soap and water before and after petting or touching any animal. Never eat, drink or put anything in your mouth in animal areas. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to leave strollers outside the animal exhibits and carry small children. Older adults, pregnant women, young children and people with weakened immune systems should consider avoiding animal areas. “Simply washing your hands can help ensure your visit to a fair is fun and safe,” said ODH Director Lance Himes. “While not common, some illnesses can be directly transmitted between animals and humans.

Don’t skimp on sunscreen.

Treat yourself to protective clothing and sunglasses (…seriously!) Since no sunscreen can block 100% of the sun’s rays, wear clothing for added protection. Look for lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and pants and sunglasses with UV protection.

Make shade your new best friend. When possible, seek shade, especially from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. when the sun’s rays are the strongest. If there’s no shade around, create your own using an umbrella or a wide-brimmed hat.

Say goodbye to tanning.

Even 1 indoor tanning session can increase your risk of developing melanoma by

Tanning – both indoors and out – can lead to wrinkles, age spots and skin cancer. If you want that golden glow, use a self-tanning product instead. Women younger than 30 are

6 TIMES more likely to develop melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, if they tan indoors.

ODA works with fairboards to increase access to hand sanitizers and hand-washing stations and provides educational signage for posting at barns. Frequent hand-washing can lower the risk of getting sick from influenza, salmonella, e. Coli and other illnesses. Ohio’s fair veterinarians are trained to closely monitor fair livestock and poultry for clinical signs of illness.

Generously apply sunscreen to all exposed skin, including your ears, neck, hands, feet and lips. Make sure your sunscreen is broad-spectrum, water-resistant and has an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

20%

Be extra careful around water, sand and snow. These surfaces reﬂect the sun’s rays, increasing your chance of sunburn.

If you see something, say something. When detected early, skin cancer – including melanoma – is highly treatable. Check your skin regularly. If you notice any new or suspicious spots on your skin, or anything that is changing, itching or bleeding, see a board-certiﬁed dermatologist.

Benefit for Northwood graduate to be held June 23

“

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

I know Lauren is very overwhelmed by everything right now. We are hoping to get the community together to support her.

“

A benefit for Lauren Salas, a 2012 graduate of Northwood High School who is battling breast cancer, will be held Saturday, June 23, at Northwood School’s AAA Building (former high school). Salas, who currently is a STNA (State Tested Nurse Aide) at Kingston Rehabilitation Center in Perrysburg, was recently diagnosed with Multi-Focal Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. According to information from the Cleveland Clinic, if there is more than one tumor in the breast, the breast cancer is described as multifocal. “I have three tumors,” Salas said. “I saw one of the tumors because it is closer to the surface of the skin. I then felt around and found two more. I am currently waiting to hear about genetic testing to decide what type of surgery I will be having.” Lauren, who is 24, will find out if she will have a bilateral or unilateral mastectomy in the coming weeks. Lauren is not the first woman in her family to get a breast cancer diagnosis. Her aunt, Shelley Welsh, of Northwood, is completing her recovery from her own bout with the disease. “I was diagnosed last September with invasive lobular-type mammary carcinoma,” Welsh said. “I had a double mastectomy and I am in the final stages of reconstructive surgery. I will have my last surgery five days prior to this event.” Welsh, a 1990 Northwood High School graduate, said she believes she is the first in the family to have been diagnosed. “Lauren has a huge heart and an even bigger smile,” Welsh said. “She radiates with happiness and has a natural ability to light up any room she’s in. She has a beautiful soul that will absolutely melt your heart. I’m amazed at Lauren’s bravery and courage since she received the devastating news of breast cancer.” In order to help Lauren with medical and living expenses while she undergoes treatment, Welsh, along with Christie

Beyond the Money by Adam Cufr

“

...they’re much more likely to sleep better at night and to get the necessary care sooner...

“

When we’re helping aspiring retirees plan their transition to retirement, I rarely hear someone ask, “What if we don’t need all of the income available to us in this plan? What if we die before it’s all used up?” The reason this sounds odd is because that’s precisely the objective in planning a successful retirement. If a person knows he or she will be able to live the lifestyle they are now without worry of running out of money, then all is well. But somehow the paradigm is different for long term care planning. When we consider that half of us will need some level and duration of long-term care assistance during our lives, it’s a wonder that more people don’t want to formally plan for the cost. Unlike income planning, where people are okay with leaving behind unused income after their death (meaning they didn’t run out), there’s a sense that people don’t want to leave behind money they set aside for long term care expenses that goes unused. Shouldn’t we view this as a good thing though? Shouldn’t we get excited to plan for a catastrophic longterm care need and then pass away without needing to use that money? I suppose when we’re dead, we don’t worry much about money any longer (let’s hope.). Then how has long term care planning become so different from retirement income planning? In a nutshell, setting aside money for long-term care means we have less money available for other things that are undoubtedly more fun than a nursing home stay. And if we don’t think a long-term nursing need will affect us (that’s for other people), then why not just keep all the available money on the table for cool stuff? After much study and contemplation, here are some long-term care planning principles that can benefit those who are either building their own comprehensive retirement plan or are potential caregivers for others who may need care in the future: • Allocating at least some money toward long term care has enormous psychological benefits. When people have earmarked resources for this possible need, they’re much more likely to sleep better at night and to get the necessary care sooner

tions to raise, I’m experiencing a shift in mindset that hasn’t come without significant investment in time and study, and these objections are not as compelling as I once thought. In the end, I’m not advocating that anyone ‘buy’ anything but rather shift some assets from one investment type to another in order to build leverage (insurance) into a comprehensive retirement plan, without sacrificing much or anything in the way of flexibility. If the cost of care is high and the need is increasingly likely, an embrace of these strategies is also very likely to yield benefits in financial and emotional ways for you and your family.

As Americans, we believe in justice for all, yet we fail to live up to this promise when we allow older members of our society to be abused or neglected. Older people are vital, contributing members of American society and their maltreatment diminishes all of us. Just as we have confronted and addressed the social issues of child abuse and domestic violence, so too can we find solutions to address issues like elder abuse, which also threatens the well-being of our community. Our policies and practices make it hard

for older people to stay involved with and connected to our communities as they age. As a result, older people are more likely to experience social isolation, which increases the likelihood of abuse and neglect. We can design stronger societal supports to keep our older people connected and protect them from abuse, whether financial, emotional, physical or sexual. When we address a root cause, like social isolation, we also make it less likely that people will neglect themselves (self-neglect). Older adults who are socially con-

nected and protected from harm are less likely to be hospitalized, less likely to go into nursing homes and less likely to die. We can and must create healthier and safer living environments for older adults, including their homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.

Caregivers

Crime Prevention Corner

Home health aides and babysitters should always be screened thoroughly By Ron Craig Crime Prevention Specialist/Community Policing Officer Lake Township Police Families sometime struggle when an elderly member of the family needs extended care they cannot reasonably provide themselves. When this occurs, the situation may require hiring a home health aide or admission to a nursing facility. If a decision is made to hire an aide that will be with the elderly family member in his or her home, care should be taken to hire the right person for the job. While most people are trustworthy, it only takes one bad experience that could end poorly. Ohio law was changed in recent years, and for good reason, to make crimes against elderly and disabled persons a more serious crime in both level of infraction (degree of felony) and possible fines and terms of incarceration. Even though the patient’s health and the care that is needed are at the forefront of the decision of whom to hire, other factors need to be taken into consideration. One of these factors regards trustworthiness of the person to be hired. References should be checked thoroughly and independently of those provided by any agency for whom the aide may be employed. Take the time to make phone calls inquiring into the aide’s background, asking about dependability, trustworthiness, and healthcare skills. Don’t be afraid to ask if there were any issues regarding items that may have come up missing while the aide was working in the home. If you get a response like “Well, we couldn’t prove it, but…” you should consider that a red flag.

Remember this person will likely have access to the entire home and all its contents. The person being hired should be considered a stranger in the home, and the patient’s family members need to be cognizant of this fact as they plan security measure they will take while this person is in the home. The elderly person will not always be able to see exactly what the aide is doing. The aide will sometimes be in a different room, possibly in another part of the house. The patient will also likely be napping at times, leaving the aide to roam as he or she pleases. Parameters need to be clearly set for the aide as to any parts of the home or property that are off limits. It’s a good idea not to let the aide have personal visitors at the home while he or she is working, and family members need to let the aide know this up front. Valuables should be secured prior to anyone being left in the home. This may require family members to remove them from the home while such care is being provided by others. This should be accomplished before the aide arrives to avoid hard feelings and so as not to let the aide know what is being removed. Purses, wallets, cash, and credit cards should not be left lay out for easy access by unauthorized persons. The ramifications of giving keys to aides needs to be thoroughly considered before it is done, remembering copies of them can be made for unauthorized entry into the home. Copies could also be given to someone family members may not wish to have access to the patient’s home. Family members should be watchful for signs of physical and/or mental abuse. Seniors and disabled people may be reluctant to report such abuse, even if they are able to do so. Fear of retribution

is a leading reason such abuse goes unreported. Unexplained bruising and other injuries should be investigated to make sure abuse has not occurred. If in doubt, family members should contact their local law enforcement agency to have the situation checked out. If the situation turns out not to be abuse, law enforcement personnel will be just as relieved as family members. All these factors should also be considered when there is a need to use babysitters to watch youngsters while parents go away for a while. Babysitters’ backgrounds should be checked to make sure children will be safe while in their care and to verify the trustworthiness of the child care provider. The issue of setting parameters for visitors is especially important as many cases of child sexual abuse involving boyfriends or other acquaintances of babysitters are reported each year. Families want to protect their children, and protection of the home and its contents are important as well. Parents would not want their children to be watched by a pedophile, nor do they want to leave someone in their home who cannot be trusted with access to their possessions. When making decisions about home health care or child care, keeping these tips in mind will allow families more peace of mind and could result in avoiding tragic circumstances.

Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Craig at 419-4816354.

Alzheimer’s Association offers support, resources The Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter offers a range of support services, information and resources for caregivers. Caregiving can be stressful, so it is important to get the help you need. Help is available by phone, in person, or online. Trained, caring professionals are available on the Alzheimer’s Association’s 24/7 Helpline (800-2723900) to answer questions about bathing, driving, communication, behaviors, community resources, and more. Care consultations are available by phone or in person to help caregivers talk through plans for the present and future.

An example of a handy online tool is the Alzheimer’s Association Care Team Calendar, powered by Lotsa Helping Hands. The free tool helps caregivers organize friends and family who want to share in the caregiving and makes it easy to share activities and information with their community. Helpers sign up for specific tasks such as preparing meals, providing rides, or running errands. Caregivers can also post items for which assistance is needed. Friends and family can use the tool to access AlzConnected message boards to ask their own questions and comments to the broader community of caregivers, post announcements and photos, and share ideas. For care partners of someone who is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, and who is in a mild, early stage, the Alzheimer’s Association offers programs that provide information and social activities that you could attend together to learn more and to connect with others like yourselves. These include Meet Me at TMA (Toledo Museum of Art), Meet Me at the Zoo, Mind Works, Memory Cafes, and education programs.

Unison marks 1st year of offering sub-acute detox After one year in operation, Unison Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sub-acute Detox Facility, located at 1212 Cherry St. in Toledo, has helped hundreds of area residents take the crucial first steps toward a life free from opioids and other addictive substances.

Many reasons people ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could you repeat that?â&#x20AC;? By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I heard you, but could you repeat that?â&#x20AC;? Do you ever find yourself asking for someone to repeat him or herself only to realize that you heard them correctly the first time? This happens to everybody, not just those with hearing loss. There are a variety of reasons why we all do this: Habit: For some people, asking others to repeat occurs so often that they ask for repetition out of habit, not out of necessity. An easy way to break this habit is to pause and think before asking others to repeat. Off topic: Have you ever been involved

in a discussion where the topic changes so abruptly that it catches you off guard? While you think you heard correctly, you may be trying to figure out what the recent comment had to do with the current topic. Changing topics abruptly can lead to confusion. Unfamiliar slang: Slang phrases, technical jargon and idioms that are unfamiliar to us can also be confusing. The first time I heard the phrases â&#x20AC;&#x153;until who tied the pupâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaning toward Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? I had to have them repeated. It was like hearing a foreign language. What does that even mean? I heard the words but I have no idea what they mean. Sometimes we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the phrase

repeated as much as we need the meaning explained. My son once told me that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrecked the exam.â&#x20AC;? He then had to explain to me that he did well on the exam. Offensive comments: Sometimes what we think we hear is unbelievable. A dry sense of humor and sarcastic remarks can leave one wondering how to respond. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure if the person is serious or facetious. The thought goes through our mind â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did he just say what I think he said?â&#x20AC;? Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to make sure. This is especially true when the comment is offensive. When these situations occur we often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel confident in what we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

heard. Rather than respond inappropriately, it is safest to ask for repetition. Stalling for an answer: When caught off guard we sometimes ask â&#x20AC;&#x153;What?â&#x20AC;? to buy time while we think of a response. Other times we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really listening and require time to process what was just said. Each of these situations occurs regardless of whether or not we have hearing loss. Needless to say, hearing aids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily prevent these situations from occurring. Rebecca Krukemyer is an audiologist at Portage Valley Hearing, LLC in Pemberville.

Coping with serious illness? Sincera improves quality of life Providing supportive care and symptom relief for seriously ill patients over the past decade, SinceraTM works with community physicians to provide an extra, highly skilled set of eyes and ears in the home when it is difficult for their patients to visit them in their offices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first goal is to find relief for pain or other symptoms a patient may be having due to their illness or side effects of treatment,â&#x20AC;? says Annette Collier, MD, Medical Director for Sincera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, we focus on overall management of the serious illness or, in many cases, help address the challenges of living with several different health conditions at once. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we have more time than is allotted in a typical physician office visit,â&#x20AC;? she explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we can answer questions, provide more in-depth information about disease progression, make recommendations about medications that may need to be adjusted, discuss goals of care and work with the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physician and others to acquire additional assistance that may be beneficial.â&#x20AC;? Improving Quality of Life The Sincera palliative care team, comprised of a physician, advanced practice nurses, RNs and social workers, focuses

solely on patients who are seriously ill. Utilizing their specialized expertise in pain and symptom management, they help improve quality of life when the patient has: * Side effects from treatment that are debilitating and difficult to manage * Repeated trips to the ER or hospitalizations due to uncontrolled pain, breathing distress or other symptoms * Several illnesses that, combined, make care needs more complex * A worsening condition and is confused or worried about the progress of the disease and treatment options * Difficulty maintaining comfort at home after being released from the hospital or a rehab facility * Emotional or spiritual concerns that are affecting overall wellbeing * Caregivers who are struggling to understand and manage the illness * Physical challenges that make it difficult to visit the physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office * Symptoms that require additional management while receiving skilled care in a nursing home or from a general home health care provider * The need to discuss goals of care and what is important moving forward

Jun-Ying Zhang turned to Sincera for relief from the side effects of chemotherapy. Once her nausea and vomiting were more controlled, she was more comfortable and able to enjoy quality time with her family. How to Seek Sinceraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Services Many questions about the program can be answered with a simple phone call to the Sincera office. Our nurse navigators will have a thorough conversation with each caller and can work with physicians to get the necessary referral for Sinceraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services. Like any medical consultation, Sinceraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

services are covered by Medicare Part B, Medicaid and most other health insurance plans. Anyone with concerns about fees can request a financial assessment.

Experience from the most experienced

For 11 years, Carole Felzer helped make sure students at E. L. Bowsher High School enjoyed tasty and nutritious lunches. On May 29, Felzer, a resident at Perrysburg Commons Retirement Center, went back to school for a day as part of the Heart’s Desire program. Carole worked in the Bowsher cafeteria from 1967-78. She has many fond memories of the years she spent at the high school, and the friendships she made with her fellow employees. Brian Burgin, director of maintenance at The Commons is a Bowsher graduate and suggested to Carole the possibility of touring the newly constructed high school. Brian’s sisterin-law, Sue Hafner, is the secretary at the school and was instrumental in setting up the visit. Before the trip, Carole was given an official Bowsher High School T-shirt to wear. Upon arriving, she was taken to the cafeteria, where she marveled at the size of the room. “That is a lot of tables to clean,” she exclaimed. The entire Bowsher kitchen staff came out to greet Carole. Linda Tandler, dietary manager, offered a tour of the dietary facilities. Linda and Carole talked about the differences from her time at Bowsher and how things are down now. Carole recalled that a hamburger was 25 cents back when she worked there. Carole expressed gratitude for the opportunity to visit Bowsher again, even if it is a new building. “It brought back so many wonderful memories, and I will be thinking of this Heart’s Desire for many years,” she said. The Heart’s Desire program gives residents at Perrysburg Commons and other HCR ManorCare facilities nationwide a chance to fulfill their wishes with the helpful planning and support from staff and surrounding community. Thousands of Heart’s Desires have been granted since the program’s inception in 1997.

Social ties could preserve memory, slow brain aging A strong social network could be the key to preserving memory. New research from The Ohio State University found that mice housed in groups had better memories and healthier brains than animals that lived in pairs. The discovery bolsters a body of research in humans and animals that supports the role of social connections in preserving the mind and improving quality of life, said lead researcher Elizabeth Kirby, an assistant professor of behavioral neuroscience and member of the Center for Chronic Brain Injury at Ohio State. “Our research suggests that merely having a larger social network can positively influence the aging brain,” said Kirby, who is a member of the Neurological Institute at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. Her research appears in the journal, “Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.” “We know that in humans there’s a strong correlation between cognitive health and social connections, but we don’t know if it’s having a group of friends that’s protecting people or if it’s that people with declining brain health withdraw from their human connections,” Kirby said. This study was designed to answer that hard-to-crack question with an animal model. Some mice lived in pairs, which Kirby refers to as the “old-couple model.” Others were housed for three months with six other roommates, a scenario that allows for “pretty complex interactions.” The mice were 15 months to 18 months old during the experiment – a time of significant natural memory decline in the rodent lifespan. “It’s like mouse post-retirement age. If they drove, they’d be forgetting where the keys are or where they parked the car more often,” Kirby said. In tests of memory, the group-housed mice fared better. One test challenged the mice to recognize that a toy, such as a plastic car, had moved to a new location. A mouse with good brain health will gravitate toward the novelty of something that has been relocated. “With the pair-housed mice, they had no

Elizabeth Kirby, PhD, of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center led a study that observed mice to examine how having a social network helps preserve memory and cognitive function in the aging brain. (Photo Courtesy of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center) idea that the object had moved. The grouphoused mice were much better at remembering what they’d seen before and went to the toy in a new location, ignoring another toy that had not moved,” Kirby said. In another common maze-based memory test, mice are placed on a well-lit round table with holes, some of which lead to escape hatches. Their natural tendency is to look for the dark, unexposed and “safe” escape routes. Both groups of mice improved their escape-route search strategies with practice – but the research team was struck by the differences in the groups’ response to repeated tests, Kirby said. The “couples” mice didn’t get faster at the

test when it was repeated over the course of a day. “But over the course of many days, they developed a serial-searching strategy where they checked every hole as quickly as possible. It’d be like walking as quickly as possible through each row of a parking lot to look for your car rather than trying to remember where your car actually is and walk to that spot,” Kirby said. The group-housed mice improved with each trial, though. “They seemed to try to memorize where the escape hatches are and walk to them directly, which is the behavior we see in healthy young mice,” Kirby said. “And that tells us

that they’re using the hippocampus, an area of the brain that is really important for good memory function.” The serial searching employed by the pair-housed mice is simpler, easier and doesn’t use that part of the brain, she said. In humans, mice and many other animals, brain function in the hippocampus markedly declines with age, even in the absence of dementia. Exercise and social ties are known to preserve memory in this region in people, Kirby said. After the housing experiment, the researchers examined the brain tissue of the mice and found increased inflammation in the pair-housed mice – biological evidence of eroded cognitive health. “The group-housed mice had fewer signs of this inflammation, meaning that their brains didn’t look as ‘old’ as those that lived in pairs,” Kirby said. The researchers also looked for evidence of new neuron growth in the hippocampus and found no differences between the groups. Previous research in this area has primarily focused on mice that have highly enriched environments with lots of toys and opportunities for exercise and compared them with mice without as much to do. This study goes further by showcasing differences that appear to be due to socialization alone, Kirby said. Future research should explore the molecular explanations for the connection between socialization and improved memory and brain health, she said. Kirby said that people who are aging would do well to consider how their choices about where to live might impact their ability to be social. “Something as basic as how long it takes to drive or walk to a friend’s house can make a big difference as we get older,” she said. “A lot of people end up isolated not by choice, but by circumstance. ‘Over the river and through the woods’ might be fun for the kids, but it’s probably not so great for Grandma,” Kirby said. Other Ohio State researchers who worked on the study were Bryon Smith and Xinyue Yao.

Magruder breaks ground on surgery expansion Magruder Hospital recently broke ground on a $3.9 million construction project that is the hospital’s largest since the 2004 Surgery Renovation and Fulton Street Expansion. “Over the last few years, we have experienced an increased demand in our number of surgery cases, especially orthopedics. Our goal with this project is to increase our ability to grow surgical services with future demand,” said Todd Almendinger, president & CEO of Magruder. “By analyzing the types of technology we could incorporate now, we were able to plan ahead for our future surgical needs.” Almendinger said after much discussion between the senior leadership team of the hospital and medical staff, a multidisciplinary team was formed to plan the project. “We brought in departments such as nursing, technology, materials management and facilities and had them sit down with the architect to formulate the goals this project needs to meet,” he said. According to Lori Koethe, RN, MS, Magruder chief nursing officer, the plan-

ning of the renovation and expansion was also patient-focused. “We paid close attention to details when it came to the patient areas. We wanted our pre and post-op areas to offer convenience and comfort to patients and families.” Koethe said a color palette of blues and greys along with neutral woods was chosen to give the new area a seaside resort feel. Anesthesiologist Rob Kerro, MD, Magruder medical director of surgery, played a big part in the overall surgical work flow design of the project. “As a physician, you want everything in the operating room to go the best it can – every time. By improving work flow efficiency, patient monitoring and technology upgrades, our surgical team is securing one more piece to ensure the best patient outcomes,” he said. Dr. Kerro added that the new upgraded technology allows for the hospital’s picture archiving and communication system (PACS) integration to be shown on high resolution large screens in the operating room (OR).

Home Instead offers final years planning for families In today’s share-everything culture, final years planning might seem like the last taboo. Looking to avoid the topic, seniors and their adult children often do not take the necessary steps to plan for their final years of life, which include getting financial affairs in order and creating plans for care in case of declining health. In fact, a new survey by Home Instead, Inc. found that while 73 percent of seniors have a written will, only 13 percent have actually made arrangements for long-term care. “When planning for their final years, many people go straight to making funeral arrangements and financial plans. Unfortunately, many people do not consider that as we age, we need extra care,” said Dana Kortokrax, owner of the Home

Instead Senior Care office in Bowling Green. “While the vast majority of seniors prefer to age at home, few take time to plan for care that might be necessary in the final years, months and days of life. They may not realize the range of options available to them and that it takes planning, too.” According to AARP, 90 percent of seniors would prefer to spend their final years at home. Despite this fact, Home Instead, Inc. found that one in four seniors have not shared those wishes with their adult children. Dr. Julie Masters, chairperson of the department of gerontology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, says one barrier to planning is the discomfort the conversation brings to seniors and their adult children. “Final years planning can bring up a

host of emotions for seniors and their adult children. These conversations, while difficult, can help people feel more prepared and empowered. They can also deliver a sense of relief for families, who already have the legal documents in place, when the time comes to face those difficult decisions,” Masters said. According to the Home Instead, Inc. survey, aging parents are far more comfortable discussing plans for their own final years (89 percent) than their adult children are discussing their parents’ plans (68 percent). To help start the conversation about final years planning, the Home Instead® network is introducing free resources to encourage seniors and their adult children

to talk to one another about their plans, while also exploring options for end-of-life care, finances, insurance and funeral planning. The program also features the online “Compose Your Life Song” music generator, which can help families think about the steps to take to be better prepared for this journey. Completing the activity will result in a customized song which reflects the user’s final years’ preparedness level. “We want families to enjoy their time together while also being able to provide loved ones with the care they need,” said Lisa Rozanski, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Toledo. “Our hope is that we can give aging adults and their families the tools they need to plan for what may come in the later years of life.”

Numbers of Americans with cataracts In the United States, more than 25 million Americans have cataracts, a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes progressively opaque, resulting in impaired vision. Research from the Prevent Blindness study, “The Future of Vision,” estimates that number will increase to 38.5 million by 2032, and to 45.6 million by the year 2050. Cataract progressively reduces the sharpness of vision and can cause a yellowish-brown tint to be applied to your field of vision. This can impact color identification, make it more difficult to read, and perform other routine activities. Prevent Blindness has declared June as Cataract Awareness Month to educate the public on risk factors, symptoms and treatment options. There are also several possible risk factors for cataracts, such as aging, intense heat or long-term exposure to UV rays from the sun, certain diseases, such as diabetes. inflammation in the eye, hereditary influences,

events before birth such as German measles in the mother, long-term steroid use, eye injuries and smoking. In many cases, cataract surgery is recommended by an eye doctor. According to the National Eye Institute, cataract removal is one of the most common operations performed in the United States. In about 90 percent of cases, people who have cataract surgery have improved vision afterward. EyeCare America from the American Academy of Ophthalmology offers the “Seniors Program,” where qualified seniors ages 65 and older can get a free eye exam and up to one year of follow-up care for any condition diagnosed during the initial exam. Most cataract surgery is covered by Medicare, however, it is important that every patient talks to his or her eyecare professional and insurance provider to determine what surgery-related expenses are covered and by how much. According the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, generally, Medicare does not cover eyeglasses or

contact lenses. However, following cataract surgery that implants an intraocular lens, Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) helps pay for corrective lenses (one pair of eyeglasses with standard frames or one set of contact lenses). Not all patients who are eligible for cataract surgery actually obtain it. “Although millions of Americans today have cataract, there are services and programs available to help,” said Sherry Williams, President & CEO of the Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness. “In fact, seniors of any age living in Ohio can contact the Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness at 800-301-2020 ext. 8 for access to a free eye exam and free glasses if financial criteria are met.” For free information on cataracts, visit www.preventblindness.org/cataract.

What was it I wanted to remember to tell you? From the American Counseling Association As we grow older, most of us forget more often than we once did. Although memory loss is a natural part of the aging process, experts say it usually isn’t problematic for most people until after age 70. This doesn’t mean that you might not be forgetful, even though 70 still may be a ways off. We all have memory lapses, regardless of our age. Even as teenagers, we forgot things (cleaning our room; that English assignment), but as we get older, we notice more the frustrations that forgetting can bring. Fortunately, if you find your memory really does seem weaker and more troublesome, there are steps you can take to combat the problem. A health check is your starting point. Talk with your physician about all drugs you are taking (over-the-counter and prescription) and have your cholesterol and blood pressure checked. These things, as well as some dis-

The

Counseling Corner eases, have been linked to memory problems. Researchers report smoking and heavy alcohol use can also affect memory. Harvard Medical School studies found that smokers perform much worse than non-smokers in memory and thinking skills tests. Staying physically and mentally active can also combat memory loss. When you exercise regularly, you’re increasing blood flow for better brain health and function. Studies have found that 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, like walking or jogging five times a week, may even reverse some memory issues. There’s also some evidence that an active

brain performs better. A full social life, interacting with family and friends, is one way. Anything that challenges your brain – from puzzles to playing games to reading and writing, also appears to stimulate brain cells and their connections. Occasional forgetfulness isn’t a reason to worry. Simply writing down things you want to remember can reduce memory frustration but do pay attention if your memory issues are more severe. If you forget things much more frequently, have difficulty learning new tasks, repeat phrases or stories in the same conversation, or forget how to do things you’ve done many times before, there may be a more serious problem. Talk with your doctor or professional counselor for an evaluation. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Mercy Health awards bike helmets to coloring contest winners Mercy Health – Children’s Hospital’s Trauma Program, in coordination with the Safe Kids Greater Toledo Coalition, recently joined efforts to congratulate winners of the Mercy Health Bicycle Safety Poster Contest. Throughout the school year, kindergarteners from 35 area schools participated in the poster contest and in a bicycle safety program. The program encouraged proper operation of a bicycle, along with the importance of wearing a properly-fitted bicycle helmet. One poster from each class was selected as a winner, with students and their families receiving an invitation to an awards ceremony hosted at Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center. Forty-six students received bike safety certificates provided by the Mercy Health Trauma Program, and properly-fitted bicycle helmets to reward their efforts. Congratulations to winners from the Oregon area, including: Cardinal Stritch Academy – Makenna Davis. Coy Elementary – Juliana Avelar, Adelyn Hall, Kinley Reynolds. Jerusalem Elementary – Dominicio Beltran, Rose Bohland, Rocco Franke and Owen Speiser. Starr Elementary – Alicia Gust, Giavana Kamelesky, Grady Oberdick and Nina Woldt. Every year, thousands of children are seen in the hospital with injuries related to bike accidents. “Seventy-five percent of bike-related fatalities would be prevented with a helmet,” said Nicole Knepper, Trauma Education and Outreach Coordinator at Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center. “Helmets reduce the risk of severe brain injury by 88%. Please make it a habit to wear your helmet. It could save your life.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Take It! If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War, slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision about whether to risk life and limb by running away. Given the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision. But we can learn something from this example. We can be enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship. This can be a hard thing to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children get used to their parents

making most of their decisions for them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, “Plan the work and work the plan.” Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isn’t going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”—Galatians 5:1 NIV

Wood Co. Committee on Aging p presents Project Wisdom Retreat

Life Line screenings Residents living in and around the Oak Harbor area can learn about their risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and other chronic, serious conditions with affordable screenings by Life Line Screenings. St Paul United Church of Christ, 165 N. Toussaint St., will host the community screening event July 10. Screenings can check for: â&#x20AC;˘ The level of plaque buildup in arteries, related to risk for heart disease, stroke and overall vascular health. â&#x20AC;˘ HDL and LDL cholesterol levels. â&#x20AC;˘ Diabetes risk. â&#x20AC;˘ Bone density as a risk for possible osteoporosis. â&#x20AC;˘ Kidney and thyroid function, and more. Screenings are affordable, convenient and accessible for wheelchairs and those with trouble walking. Free parking is also available. Packages start at $149. Consultants will help determine appropriate screening packages based on age and risk factors. Call 1-877-237-1287 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com to register or obtain more info.

Federal and State boating laws. Every VSC is conducted free of charge and a public service provided by Toledo Sail & Power Squadron, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boating Clubâ&#x20AC;? and the USCoastGuard/Auxiliary. Numerous websites provide a virtual checklist of safety requirements (ďŹ&#x201A;ares, extinguishers, etc.) that the certiďŹ ed examiner will check. A vessel check takes about 30-45 minutes depending on size of boat. The examiner will provide a VSC decal to post on boats which meet all safety requirements. This will not exempt boats from boating law enforcement boarding but will help boaters be more prepared for a positive encounter. All decals and safety checks are void Dec. 31 of year they are inspected. They are also void should the operator/owner fail to maintain the vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment or the vessel itself to the standard at the time of the safety check. If your boat does not pass the VSC, you will be provided information on what to correct. Results are conďŹ dential; no citation will be written. Results are not reported to law enforcement. Boating insurance agencies may offer discounts for passing a vessel safety check. Contact John Miga at email vsc@gtoast. net 419-539-4253, or email Larry Cole at boater734@chartermi.net to schedule an exam.
