Weekend doctor: Stop the bleed

Posted by LizGH on Saturday, March 16, 2019

By Douglas Yoder, MD
Surgical Associates of Northwest Ohio
Bleeding has been identified as one of the three leading causes of preventable trauma deaths before reaching the hospital, responsible for up to 40 percent of all deaths from trauma. Bleeding quickly catches our attention.

At home, work or play, bleeding is a sign of something that is not right and could potentially be serious or even life-threatening. For instance, accidental cuts from kitchen knives, table saw injuries or chainsaw lacerations happen frequently. For hunters, accidental gunshot wounds can be lethal unless aid is provided early.

Check out the park tennis courts

Only $2,685 needed to pay off the $66,075 improvement project
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, March 15, 2019

Drive past the tennis courts at War Memorial Park.

You may not believe what you see.

Thanks to a community effort by a tennis courts resurfacing fundraiser that started last fall the courts look – well, very inviting.

But, it still needs some little tender-loving donations to be completed.

The renovation project cost $66,075 and funding from all sources has reached $63,390, which means the committee seeks its final $2,685 to complete the improvement project.

The costs included $55,125 for an asphalt overlay and acrylic resurfacer, plus $10,950 to remove and replace fence fabric with tension wire.
