Athletic Concussions - Part 1 in a 2-part series
Concussions in sports have been in the news and on social media frequently over the last few years.
Over that same time period, there has also been an increase in research on concussions, and this new knowledge has changed many aspects of concussion treatment. The depth of this topic calls for a two-part column, and this first part will discuss what research has taught us about the initial evaluation and management of concussions.

Here is a series of signs at one home on South Johnson Street. The next photo shows just two measly Republican signs in front of Pete Previte’s house on North Main (the Prevites traditionally post GOP signs in their yard prior to an election.)

The countdown begins, just one minute until 5 o’clock.
The McDonald’s counter is ready with cashiers at each register and servers behind the counter prepared to deliver orders. The more sales made in two hours, the more likely a school is going to win.
It was the Battle of the Burgers—or as McDonald’s calls it “McTeacher Night”—on Monday at Ada McDonald’s with Upper Scioto Valley Schools—last year’s winner—competing against Ada Schools. Ada will have its turn on Wednesday, Oct. 17.
