The Marylee Bendig Team<br />

Warehouse proposed<br />

By Katelyn Sattler<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Tyler Ford, with Oakridge Development Company, presented a<br />

preliminary site plan for a warehouse to Obetz City Council on<br />

<strong>May</strong> 9 to determine council’s interest before purchasing the property<br />

at 1441 Williams Road.<br />

The 35 acre piece of property is owned by the Obetz Cemetery<br />

Association and located behind Mulberry Grove. The land is zoned<br />

for cemetery use. Obetz City Administrator Rod Davisson suggested<br />

Ford present to council and get some feedback before creating<br />

engineering drawings to present to the city’s Planning and Zoning<br />

Commission.<br />

“I don’t know that people would be thrilled with the concept of<br />

replacing the cemetery with industrial,” said Davisson. “I think<br />

they originally wanted to do two buildings and we talked about<br />

reducing that down to a building and trying to keep the industrial<br />

development to the north of Mulberry Grove, which has access on<br />

Williams and then turning the back half of that into a park/parking.”<br />

Ford replied, “So the thought was to donate approximately 15<br />

acres to the city for park land and we would install the pond. As<br />

you can see on the plans, there is some additional tree line there.<br />

We can put an additional screen there to screen the development<br />

in front of the residential development. We would need to rezone<br />

and break ground sometime in 2023, probably the second quarter<br />

of that year.”<br />

Ford said the warehouse usage would be as flexible as possible.<br />

Councilman Robert Kramer asked if the proposed warehouse<br />

we would put the office portion facing<br />

east, so we would limit truck traffic<br />

The city of Obetz began union negotiations with<br />

the Fraternal Order of Police on <strong>May</strong> 4.<br />

According to Obetz City Administrator Rod<br />

Davisson, Obetz police officers recently voted to<br />

unionize, with all patrol officers and supervisors voting<br />

to unionize with none dissenting. One officer did<br />

not vote.<br />

The city contracted with Benjamin Albrecht with<br />

Fishel Downey Albrecht & Ripenhoff LLC to represent<br />

them in the negotiations. Albrecht, Davisson,<br />

Law Director Gene Hollins, Deputy City<br />

Administrator Mike Corbitt, and Police Chief<br />

Michael Confer are negotiating for the city.<br />

Obetz Police are being represented by Fraternal<br />

Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9 Vice President<br />

Jason Pappas and Officer Eric Baker and Officer<br />

Joseph Jacobson are negotiating for the new contract.<br />

When asked when he can update the public on<br />

how the negotiations are proceeding, Davisson said,<br />

“Unfortunately, the discussions are private and I<br />

Find a Cure Rock<br />

The Hamilton Township High School crafts class participated in a project where they created unique artwork<br />

that expressed a positive message or theme. One group of students (Emma Taylor, Lexi Lebron,<br />

Maddy Heath, and Ray Nextle) put the following positive message out to the high school: “We are hoping<br />

to make kids understand that they are not alone and that they need to have H.O.P.E (Hold On Pain Ends)<br />

because hard times don’t last forever.” The group asked students to write how they feel or something<br />

encouraging on a sticky note. Each note was painted on a small rock and placed around the “Find a Cure<br />

Rock” for others to read and know they are not alone. The Find a Cure rock is located next to the entrance<br />

of the Hamilton Township High School football field.<br />

Obetz Police vote to unionize<br />

“Unfortunately, the discussions are private and<br />

I can’t reveal what is said there. I can tell you that<br />

the process generally takes a few months with<br />

several meetings to reach an accord.”<br />

- Rod Davisson<br />

Obetz city administrator<br />

can’t reveal what is said there. I can tell you that the<br />

process generally takes a few months with several<br />

meetings to reach an accord. Our initial meeting was<br />

more introductory and set the foundation for the<br />

other sessions. I expect that we will have a session<br />

every other week or so for the next three months.<br />

That’s about all I can say about the process right<br />

now and I am required to keep the discussion confidential<br />

until the agreement is done and approved by<br />

council. I am permitted to update council on the<br />

progress from time to time in executive session.”<br />

Police departments unionize to be able to collectively<br />

bargain to determines wages, hours, terms,<br />

and other conditions of employment. The right of<br />

public employees to collectively bargain is codified in<br />

Ohio law O.R.C. 4117.10.<br />

Hiker explores Ohio & Erie Canal<br />

By Kendall Collins<br />

Special to the <strong>Messenger</strong><br />

When Americans dream about their next adventure,<br />

usually they envision jumping in the car and<br />

driving to a fancy hotel with all the extras - fluffy pillows,<br />

room service, and relaxation.<br />

Sleeping outside in the elements while walking over<br />

70,000 steps per day does not come to mind for most of<br />

us, but for Ed “The Hiker” Talone, it is his “American<br />

Dream.”<br />

Talone was curious from a young age about, “What<br />

is just around the bend?” His father took him for his<br />

first hike in 1966 and he has yet to stop exploring.<br />

With a hiking career spanning over 40 years, 800<br />

trails and 70,000 plus miles, Talone has seen it all. On<br />

his most recent trek, Talone is walking the southern<br />

part of the Ohio & Erie Canal <strong>South</strong>ern Descent, starting<br />

near his home in Portsmouth and ending near<br />

Baltimore, Ohio. On his route, he passed through<br />

Lockbourne, Groveport, and Canal Winchester.<br />

“Canal trails and rail trails are my main interests<br />

right now,” said Talone. “I have already walked the<br />

nation’s most scenic paths including the Appalachian<br />

Trail.”<br />

Carrying a large backpack, a 20-year-old map, a<br />

canal book and his AM radio, he has everything he<br />

needs to stay on track.<br />

“I don’t use GPS or have a lot of technology. I still<br />

have a flip phone,” he said.<br />

Talone enjoys the serenity of hiking alone and the<br />

disconnection from the world around him.<br />

“It is all mental,” Talone said. “Every hike is different,<br />

no two hikes are the same. My favorite aspect of<br />

hiking is seeing all the interesting<br />

places and small towns like<br />

Lockbourne that I would’ve<br />

never had the pleasure to visit.”<br />

Talone has hiked through<br />

every state in the continental<br />

U.S. and completed many trails<br />

spanning across Canada. He<br />

shared memories of his longest<br />

hike to date that began in Key<br />

West, Fla., and spanned north to<br />

the tip of Canada. The journey<br />

took over nine months and was<br />

close to 5,000 miles, with a few<br />

pit stops in between. In the<br />

future, he plans on hiking across<br />

Europe for the first time with<br />

“extra time to enjoy all the wonderful<br />

foods.”<br />

From Lockbourne, Talone<br />

headed northeast to Groveport<br />

and see Ohio and Erie Canal<br />

Lock 22.<br />

JUNE 16TH @ 12:05 PM While in Groveport, Talone<br />

When asked what he thinks<br />

makes a good hiker, Talone said,<br />

“I believe it’s the ability to deal<br />

with the elements. If you love to<br />

walk, you deal with it. There is<br />

There have been 28 films released within the<br />

Marvel Cinematic Universe and I can no longer whip<br />

up any sense of excitement over the prospect of watching<br />

another. However, I admit to experiencing a slight<br />

stirring of interest toward its latest, “Doctor Strange in<br />

the Multiverse of Madness.”<br />

This rare creation of a long-lost sensation had little<br />

to do with a particular fondness for the title character<br />

— despite wielding mystical powers, his personality<br />

tends to run a bit dry — and more to do with a love of a<br />

particular word within the title itself.<br />

The multiverse, by definition, offers infinite possibilities<br />

of infinite worlds beyond our own. In some theories,<br />

a different version of us is inhabiting these<br />

worlds — and we don’t always have to be human or<br />

have traditional human parts (see the hot dog fingers<br />

universe in the utterly fantastic “Everything<br />

Everywhere All at Once”).<br />

Exploring the multiverse can bring forth so much<br />

creativity to books, television, and film. Upon watching<br />

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” I can<br />

say it has a style that sets itself apart from its predecessors,<br />

but it also continues to lack in true character<br />

development and character continuity through-lines.<br />

Though still arrogant to a fault, Dr. Stephen<br />

Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) has been humbled<br />

and haunted since we last saw him in a solo film; humbled<br />

because his love Christine Palmer (Rachel<br />

McAdams) has fallen for another, and haunted<br />

because of the choices he made to allow half the population<br />

to turn to dust for five years. He believes a side<br />

effect of his guilt is the terrifying nightmares he has<br />

been having of being chased and eaten by an otherworldly<br />

octopus-like creature but he cannot shake the<br />

sensation it may be real.<br />

While attending a wedding reception shortly thereafter,<br />

a ruckus outside gains his attention. During an<br />

initial investigation of the cause, he sees a young girl<br />

from his dreams being chased by the same otherworldly<br />

octopus-like creature that was the cause of his<br />

death. Fortunately for him, things do not go as they<br />

were in dreamland, but he does find out that this girl,<br />

America Chaves (Xochitl Gomez), has the ability to<br />

leap into any multiverse with one caveat — it only happens<br />

when she is scared.<br />

She tells Stephen that another version of him did,<br />

in fact, die via otherworldly octopus-like creature but<br />

it is her that is being haunted and hunted — not him.<br />

He has just been helping her try to discover who wants<br />

to steal her powers, while sometimes betraying her<br />

along the way.<br />

Determined to not end up like his deceiving and<br />

deceased multiverse counterpart, the sorcerer enlists<br />

entertainment<br />

the help of Wong (Benedict Wong),<br />

now Sorcerer Supreme, and Wanda<br />

Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), now<br />

the Scarlet Witch, to help him find<br />

a powerful book of magic that<br />

would allow them to stop this<br />

unknown adversary before the multiverse<br />

is put into any danger.<br />

But he soon discovers that sometimes<br />

the enemy hides within<br />

plain sight.<br />

The Reel Deal<br />

Dedra<br />

Cordle<br />

of the familiar Marvel beats, “Doctor Strange in the<br />

Multiverse of Madness” embraces darker themes in a<br />

way its predecessors have not, and maybe could not.<br />

There is a heavier feeling to this movie, a more sinister<br />

vibe, and that is mostly due to its director, Sam Raimi.<br />

Marvel has a reputation for reeling in some of the<br />

individualistic flair of its directors, but they seemed to<br />

have allowed Raimi to go a bit wild — to a certain<br />

extent. While I think more could have been done to<br />

establish off-beat multiverses (we get a glimpse of a<br />

paint verse, but it features more Earth-like verses), his<br />

focus is instead on adding touches of visual horror like<br />

bloodied characters crawling out of mirrors, screaming<br />

souls of the damned reaching out to choke the living,<br />

and, on occasion, the snapping of a neck and a clothed<br />

evisceration.<br />

Watching this film was an amazing experience,<br />

especially when we got to see the awesome power of<br />

witchcraft and wizardry but listening to it was a different<br />

experience altogether. Some of the dialogue, written<br />

by “Loki” scribe Michael Waldron, was so bad that<br />

it nearly took me out of the place of awe I felt while<br />

watching the movie. It almost feels like the final script<br />

was a rough draft, an unfinished product that needed<br />

to pay more attention to character development, character<br />

relationships, and character motivation.<br />

While there are plenty of things to like about<br />

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” such as<br />

the horror-inspired visuals and the acting from<br />

Cumberbatch and Olsen especially, there are also<br />

plenty of things that could have been better to make<br />

this a truly exciting cinematic experience.<br />

Memorial Day events<br />

By Rick Palsgrove<br />

Managing Editor<br />

Memorial Day is a solemn and<br />

moving tradition for Americans -<br />

whether they live in big cities, small<br />

towns, or the countryside - dating<br />

back to the day’s origins in the post-<br />

Civil War period.<br />

Each Memorial Day of the past,<br />

present, and future is special in its<br />

own right as we pay respects to the<br />

fallen as flags gently flutter by each<br />

tombstone and flowers grace the graves.<br />

Time rolls on. Memories of some things<br />

in life may fade, but not the memory of the<br />

sacrifices made by these, our honored fallen<br />

members of the military.<br />

Memorial Day endures and is an elegant,<br />

dignified reminder to us all of the<br />

profound sacrifices made by members of<br />

our communities in service to their country.<br />

Local Memorial Day ceremonies<br />

include:<br />

Canal Winchester<br />

In remembrance of fallen veterans,<br />

VFW Post #10523 will host Canal<br />

103, Cub Scout Troop 103, and the Canal<br />

Winchester High School Band.<br />

Immediately following the Canal<br />

Winchester Memorial Day ceremony, the<br />

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will host a flag<br />

retirement ceremony on the cemetery<br />

grounds.<br />

The public is invited to attend both ceremonies.<br />

Lawn chairs or blankets are<br />

Groveport near Heritage Park. The parade<br />

will begin at Groveport Town Hall, 648<br />

Main St., and proceed west down Main<br />

Street to College Street, then south on<br />

College Street to the Groveport Cemetery.<br />

This year’s guest speaker at the ceremony<br />

Lockbourne<br />

Lockbourne’s annual Memorial Day<br />

Parade and Ceremony will be held on <strong>May</strong><br />

30 to honor veterans and to recognize the<br />

village’s military legacy.<br />

The event begins at noon with a parade<br />

through the village followed by a ceremony<br />

at Lockbourne Veterans Park, 95 Landis<br />

St. “We will continue to focus on the history<br />

of Lockbourne Air Force Base as we<br />

plan to honor the generations of service in<br />

the military and our military legacy<br />

throughout the region,” said Lockbourne<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Christie Ward. “We anticipate several<br />

veterans to be in attendance at this<br />

event along with a strong presence of<br />

armed forces from the area. This historic<br />

local event is a central part of the village as<br />

well as the surrounding areas. Residents<br />

from neighboring communities attend year<br />

after year.”<br />

Lockbourne village officials said there is<br />

a deep-rooted history between Hamilton<br />

Local Schools and the Lockbourne Air<br />

Force Base.<br />

When Lockbourne Air Force Base was<br />

active, the “base kids” went to Hamilton<br />

Schools.<br />

Hamilton alum, John Gorczyca (class of<br />

1967) was a pilot of Air Force One for presidents<br />

Ronald Reagan and George H. Bush.<br />

Another Hamilton alum is Jay Silveria<br />

who attended HTHS in 1977-1978. His<br />

father was stationed at Lockbourne AFB.<br />

He was only a Hamilton Township Ranger<br />

for one year because his father’s Air Force<br />

career and orders took them overseas to<br />

England. He grew up and later became Lt.<br />

General Jay Silveria, the 20th<br />

Superintendent of the United States Air<br />

Force Academy.<br />

According to Lockbourne village officials,<br />

there are many generations of military<br />

families throughout Lockbourne,<br />

Hamilton Local Schools and Hamilton<br />

Township. Lockbourne and Hamilton continue<br />

to produce outstanding military service<br />

members that go on to do incredible<br />

things. Hamilton currently has eight students<br />

who will join the Military after graduation.<br />

Protect yourself from<br />

title theft and fraud<br />

Franklin County Auditor Michael<br />

Stinziano launched a Property eAlert system<br />

that helps protect homeowners from<br />

title theft and fraud.<br />

The auditor’s Property eAlerts notification<br />

system is a free service that allows<br />

property owners to sign up to receive an<br />

email alert whenever a change is made to<br />

the owner name, address, or appraised<br />

value associated with a property’s record.<br />

The Property eAlerts system is integrated<br />

into the office’s real estate record database<br />

Station were cleared out to make way for<br />

the firefighters’ annual plant sale <strong>May</strong> 6-<br />

8. Firefighters Donald Charles, left, and<br />

Patrick Kauble, right, helped buyers<br />

pick out the perfect plant for Mother’s<br />

Day or to brighten a local garden.<br />

and provides registered homeowners with<br />

immediate notification of a change in their<br />

property’s ownership or value.<br />

The new system addresses concerns<br />

about the security of property deeds and<br />

the threat that a home’s title could be<br />

stolen by a fraudulent actor who files a<br />

counterfeit deed and transfers the home<br />

out of their ownership. In addition to the<br />

new eAlerts system, all property transfers<br />

are processed by the auditor’s office and<br />

require notarization as a safeguard against<br />

fraud. Anyone who suspects they are a victim<br />

of fraud can call the auditor’s office<br />

WAREHOUSE<br />

Continued from page 1<br />

coming through that portion of the building,<br />

so the residential wouldn’t see too<br />

much truck traffic.”<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Angela Kirk said, “My concern is<br />

the noise and constant traffic in and out of<br />

there upsetting the neighborhood.”<br />

Davisson requested council give Ford<br />

clear direction.<br />

“If, for instance, your clear direction<br />

was that project’s never going to interest<br />

me, then that's clear direction,” said<br />

Davisson. “I don’t want them to leave here<br />

confused about what your intentions are or<br />

your initial reaction to it. So I encourage<br />

you to speak up.”<br />

Kramer said it looks like it’s 200 feet<br />

from the corner there. Ford affirmed it is.<br />

Kirk said “I’m not interested because of<br />

the noise and the pollution and the trucks we<br />

have already across those track on the other<br />

side, which is the Industrial Park. We have<br />

nothing but constant noise from those warehouses<br />

and they are way far off than this one<br />

would be, which is next to the neighborhood.”<br />

Councilman Derek Varney said he’d<br />

have a hard time justifying to a resident<br />

why they were trying to squeeze a warehouse<br />

next to them.<br />

Added Kramer, “It’s the uncertainty of<br />

having some kind of warehouse with some<br />

kind of industry with some kind of hours<br />

being right next to a neighborhood like<br />

that. If it was down south on Alum Creek,<br />

great. There are a million down there. But<br />

that’s what’s kinda nice about the city. We<br />

have stuff and not everything is warehouse,<br />

house, warehouse, warehouse. It’s<br />

kind of set up nicely that way.”<br />

COMMON MYTHS ABOUT DENTURES<br />

Everyone knows when you are<br />

wearing dentures, or do they?<br />

They probably know only if your<br />

dentures look unnatural or need<br />

refitting. Many of the “tell-tale”<br />

signs of dentures – clicking or<br />

slipping, unpleasant odor or<br />

stains – are actually signs of poor<br />

fit or improper home maintenance.<br />

Regular professional examinations<br />

and following your<br />

dentist’s instructions on home<br />

care are essential steps in assuring<br />

a “natural appearance.”<br />

Denture wearers can’t eat normally<br />

or even speak properly, or<br />

can they? While not all denture<br />

wearers can eat everything they<br />

would like, many have very few<br />

restrictions in their diets. So, if<br />

you develop persistent speech or<br />

eating problems at any time,<br />

have your dentist check the fit of<br />

your denture as soon as possible.<br />

Good nutrition is just as important<br />

for mature adults as it is for<br />

younger persons. Properly fitting<br />

dentures actually encourage you<br />

to eat a varied and well-balanced<br />

diet that maximizes your overall<br />

health.Prepared as a public service<br />

to promote better dental health.<br />

“We’re trying to be better stewards for our<br />

neighbors.”<br />

Councilman Guiles Richardson said, “So<br />

on this back street, you had empty houses.<br />

Now all those lots are full. It’s a finished<br />

neighborhood. The warehouses set way<br />

back here. I mean, it’s constant noise. I<br />

don’t think this would be a good idea.”<br />

Added Kirk, “Like Councilman Flaherty<br />

said, we didn’t really plan that for that corridor,<br />

so now we have a neighborhood there<br />

that we have to be mindful of. So, if you<br />

want to come up with something different<br />

and new and exciting quickly before you<br />

have to make a decision, I’m willing to listen<br />

to that. But this is not it for me.”<br />

Davisson said, “We get a lot of requests<br />

for flex office, which seem to be something<br />

that would probably fit better - sounds like<br />

anything that’s more quiet would be best.<br />

Kramer said the city is not “development<br />

averse.”<br />

“It’s just to get the right thing in the right<br />

place, more office space, making it a little<br />

more low key might fit better,” said Kramer.<br />

“I’m available if you fellas come up with<br />

some different ideas,” Davisson said.<br />

“I don’t know how many times you’ve<br />

seen things over there where they’re putting<br />

an additional (business) in, so it’s<br />

needed here. People do see the need for<br />

that. And honestly, it excites me to see,<br />

because those are usually your incubator,<br />

new businesses,” said Varney.<br />

Kramer thanked them for coming out<br />

and said he hopes something will work for<br />

them here.<br />

Kirk said, “Let us know what your next<br />

idea is.”<br />

A bi-monthly feature celebrating our community’s senior citizens<br />

Benefits of growing older<br />

Seniors are a rapidly growing segment<br />

of the population. With so many people living<br />

longer, it’s time to celebrate the perks<br />

of getting older rather than the drawbacks.<br />

Here are some benefits to growing old.<br />

•Higher self-esteem: The insecurities of<br />

youth give way as one ages, and older people<br />

have less negativity and higher selfesteem.<br />

Qualities like self-control and<br />

altruism can contribute to happiness.<br />

•Financial perks: Seniors are entitled to<br />

discounts on meals, museum entry fees,<br />

movies, and other entertainment if they’re<br />

willing to disclose their ages.<br />

Discounts are available through an<br />

array of venues if one speaks up.<br />

Seniors also can enjoy travel perks, with<br />

slashed prices on resorts, plane tickets and<br />

more.<br />

•Reasoning and problem-solving skills:<br />

Brain scans reveal that older adults are<br />

more likely to use both hemispheres of<br />

their brans simultaneously something<br />

called bilateralization. This can sharpen<br />

reasoning skills.<br />

•Less stress: As people grow older, they<br />

are able to differentiate their needs from<br />

wants and focus on more important goals.<br />

This can alleviate worry over things that<br />

are beyond one’s control.<br />

Seniors may realize how little the opinions<br />

of others truly mean in the larger picture,<br />

thereby feeling less stress about what<br />

others think of them.<br />

Growing older may involve gray hair or<br />

wrinkling skin, but there are many positive<br />

things associated with aging.<br />

Eat healthy at 50 and beyond<br />

www.columbusmessenger.com <strong>May</strong> 15, <strong>2022</strong> - MESSENGER - PAGE 11<br />

A balanced diet is an integral element of<br />

a healthy lifestyle for men, women and<br />

children alike. But while kids and young<br />

adults might be able to get away with an<br />

extra cheeseburger here or there, men and<br />

women approaching 50 have less leeway.<br />

According to the National Institute on<br />

Aging, simply counting calories without<br />

regard for the foods being consumed is not<br />

enough for men and women 50 and older to<br />

maintain their long-term health. Rather,<br />

the NIA emphasizes the importance of<br />

choosing low-calorie foods that have a lot of<br />

the nutrients the body needs.<br />

But counting calories can be an effective<br />

and simple way to maintain a healthy<br />

weight, provided those calories are coming<br />

from nutrient-rich foods. The NIA advises<br />

men and women over 50 adhere to the following<br />

daily calorie intake recommendations<br />

as they attempt to stay healthy into<br />

their golden years.<br />

Women:<br />

•Not physically active: 1,600 calories.<br />

•Somewhat active: 1,800 calories.<br />

•Active lifestyle: between 2,000 and<br />

2,200 calories.<br />

Men:<br />

•Not physically active: 2,000 calories.<br />

•Somewhat active: between 2,200 and<br />

2,400 calories.<br />

•Active lifestyle: between 2,400 and<br />

2,800 calories.<br />

When choosing foods to eat, the NIA recommends<br />

eating many different colors and<br />

types of vegetables and fruits.<br />

Phytochemicals are substances that occur<br />

naturally in plants, and there are thousands<br />

of these substances offering various<br />

benefits.<br />

The NIA advises men and women over 50<br />

make sure at least half the grains in their<br />

diets are whole grains. Numerous studies<br />

have discovered the various benefits of<br />

whole grains, which are loaded with protein,<br />

fiber, antioxidants and other nutrients.<br />

Another potential hurdle men and<br />

women over 50 may encounter is a change<br />

in their sense of smell and taste. A person’s<br />

sense of smell may fade with age, and<br />

because smell and taste are so closely related,<br />

foods enjoyed for years may no longer<br />

tantalize the taste buds. That can be problematic,<br />

as many people instinctually add<br />

more salt to foods they find bland.<br />

According to the U.S. Office of Disease<br />

Prevention and Health Promotion, older<br />

adults should consume no more than 1,500<br />

milligrams of sodium per day. That<br />

equates to roughly 3/4 teaspoon of salt.<br />

Older men and women should resist the<br />

temptation to use salt to add flavor to<br />

foods, instead opting for healthy foods that<br />

they can still smell and taste.<br />

Maintaining a healthy diet after 50 may<br />

require some hard work and discipline. But<br />

the long-term benefits of a healthy diet<br />

make the extra effort well worth it.<br />

Arthritis and exercise<br />

<strong>May</strong> is Older Americans Month, a nationwide<br />

awareness campaign led by the Administration<br />

for Community Living (ACL) that observes the<br />

positive impact older adults make in society. ACL<br />

sets a theme each year to celebrate the month.<br />

This year’s theme is “Aging in Place,” which<br />

focuses on how older adults can stay in their<br />

homes and live independently in their communities<br />

for as long as possible.<br />

The theme ties directly into the work of<br />

Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAAA).<br />

COAAA arranges and coordinates in-home services<br />

that help older adults and individuals with<br />

disabilities live independently in their homes.<br />

Exercise can be beneficial in the treatment<br />

of arthritis, say many doctors.<br />

Physical activity can reduce stiffness<br />

and increase muscle strength and flexibility.<br />

It also has overall health benefits, such<br />

as improving cardiac fitness and physical<br />

endurance. Three types of exercise are<br />

most appropriate for those who have<br />

arthritis:<br />

•Strength training: Strong muscles help<br />

support and protect joints affected by<br />

arthritis. Lifting weights can provide this.<br />

•Range of motion exercises: Dancing,<br />

tai chi, Pilates, swimming, and other activities<br />

that push the body to stretch and<br />

move help maintain normal joint motion<br />

and relieve stiffness.<br />

•Aerobic activities: Activities such as<br />

brisk walking, bicycle riding, skating and<br />

more are good for the heart. They also moderate<br />

weight, which in turn puts less strain<br />

on joints, particularly the knees. Some<br />

studies show that aerobic exercise can<br />

reduce inflammation in some joints.<br />

Before beginning an exercise program,<br />

discuss with your doctor what activities<br />

might be right for you.<br />

Older Americans Month<br />

COAAA is proud to help people live independently,<br />

but the agency knows that age does not<br />

define a person’s energy and vitality, which is<br />

why it hosts the Central Ohio Senior Citizens<br />

Hall of Fame to acknowledge exemplary older<br />

adults for serving their communities and enriching<br />

the lives of others.<br />

Eleven inductees will be honored later in the<br />

month during the annual recognition ceremony.<br />

Franklin County Board of Commissioners: President Erica C. Crawley • Commissioner John O’Grady, and Commissioner Kevin L. Boyce<br />

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Franklin County Office on Aging join with the <strong>Messenger</strong> Newspaper in providing this update on aging issues in Franklin County.<br />

Older Americans Month<br />

There is more to recognize in the month of <strong>May</strong> than Cinco de <strong>May</strong>o and<br />

Mother’s Day. In fact, <strong>May</strong> is also recognized as Older Americans Month<br />

(OAM). Every <strong>May</strong>, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the<br />

celebration of OAM in order to celebrate the contributions and continued impact<br />

our senior residents have within our community. In Franklin County, nearly<br />

234,000 older adults play vital, positive roles in our community – as family<br />

members, friends, mentors, volunteers, civic leaders, members of the workforce<br />

and more. Just as every person is unique, so too is how they age and how they<br />

choose to do it – and there is no “right” way. That’s why the theme for OAM<br />

<strong>2022</strong> is Age My Way.<br />

This year’s theme for OAM focuses on how older adults can age in their communities<br />

while maintaining to live independently for as long as possible. The Franklin<br />

County Office on Aging has always been committed to providing the essential<br />

resources seniors and their families need in order to remain independent, safe<br />

and together for as long as possible. While Age My Way will look different for<br />

each person, there are common things everyone can consider:<br />

• Planning – Think about what you will need and want in the future as an older<br />

adult, from home and community-based services to community activities that<br />

interest you. Learn more about what programs and services are offered in your<br />

community by visiting the Office on Aging’s website. (Officeonaging.org)<br />

• Engagement – Remain involved and contribute to your community through<br />

work, volunteer, and/or civic participation opportunities. The Office on Aging<br />

provides community support, outreach and specialized services to older adults so<br />

they can improve their ability to live and function in the community.<br />

• Access – Make home improvements and modifications, use assistive technologies,<br />

and customize supports to help you better age in place. The Minor Home<br />

Repair Program offered through the Office on Aging ensures that your home is<br />

safe and secure.<br />

• Connection – Maintain social activities and relationships to combat social<br />

isolation and stay connected to your community. The Office on Aging can<br />

connect seniors to care and support services when facing mental and emotional<br />

health challenges, including a free online tool called CredibleMind (Franklin-<br />

CountyOhio.CredibleMind.com) which connects residents and families to<br />

national and local mental health services.<br />

Diverse communities are strong communities. The Office on Aging works every<br />

day to ensure that older adults remain involved and included within our community<br />

by providing centralized access to programs and support services needed in<br />

order to preserve their independence.<br />

Since 1993, the Office on Aging has provided services like home-delivered<br />

meals, personal care and adult day care through its Senior Options program. It is<br />

the “one-stop shop” for seniors to gain information and access to these services<br />

so they can preserve their independence and experience an improved quality of<br />

life. The Agency also provides Minor Home Repairs such as repair services to<br />

main walkways and steps, to other minor plumbing, electrical, gas and furnace<br />

repairs. These services allow senior residents to live in their homes free of barriers<br />

and unsafe conditions.<br />

In addition to ensuring the homes of older residents are free of barriers and<br />

unsafe conditions, the Office on Aging also focuses on making sure their physical<br />

and emotional well-being is safe as well. The Agency’s Adult Protective<br />

Services prevent, remedy, or reduce situations that endanger an older adult and<br />

are meant to maximize their independence and self-direction.<br />

Lastly, the Office on Aging also provides support for caregivers including adult<br />

day services, caregiver counseling, kinship support services and more. These<br />

services are available to non-paid caregivers of adults aged 60 and older who<br />

have a need for home care assistance, non-paid parents or relatives aged 55 or<br />

older caring for an adult child with disabilities, and kinship caregivers aged 55 or<br />

older who are caring full-time for a minor child that is not their biological child.<br />

All of the services provided by the Office on Aging are here to help older<br />

residents Age My Way. There is little to no cost for residents to participate in<br />

these programs and services, and a simple call can help you, your loved ones and<br />

your family maintain living independently in your own home.<br />

To learn more about the programs and support services provided by the Franklin<br />

County Office on Aging, visit officeonaging.org or call (614) 525-5230.
