Fun at the Lorain County Fair!
Attendance at the 2022 Lorain County Fair was 107,117, and while not a record breaker, it was still way up from 2021 when 94,097 attended the fair in spite of the Covid pandemic. In 2019
attendance was at 117,403. The winner of the Hay Bale contest this year was Brianna Kutcha with her Will-Hay Nelson creation. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and his wife, Frances, stopped
by on Saturday to enjoy the fair. A special visit from the Clydesdale horses delighted visitors this year.

operating in a safe manner. Some residents said they had lived in the township for 30 plus years and
never had any trouble with neighbors complaining about gun shooting. But of course, according to SEPT. TO NOV. 2022
one gentleman, there were no machine guns or high powered guns being used. The other thought in
the crowd was over the large caliber guns and the machine guns being shot that produced extremely
loud noise. The noise level and the frequency of shooting could go all day or all night. Kennedy
It was said again that Trustees and the township do not have the authority to regulate shooting
activity or gun ranges. That is handled by the Federal Government or legislated from Columbus.
The noise range is handled by the ODNR who comes out with equipment and measure the decibels.
The Trustees told the people to work with their state legislature to get rules changed or defined. Nagel

The Trustees passed a resolution to opt out of the Township’s electric bills under NOPEC. They
recommend that residents using NOPEC opt out because NOPEC rate is 2 times the Ohio Edison rate.
Residents can call 855-667-3201. The
Trustees voted to approve the MOU for Smith Ditch. The Steering Committee has been picked - 21 Singer, Songwriter

The different types of dementia Lorain County Historical Society
care professionals participates in Ohio Open Doors
The World Health Organization describes dementia as a
syndrome that causes a deterioration of cognitive function
beyond what is typical of biological aging. Around the world,
more than 55 million people live with dementia, and there are
around 10 million new cases each year. Alzheimer’s disease
is the most common form of dementia, but there are others,
including Dementia with Lewy Bodies, vascular dementia
and frontotemporal dementia, according to WebMD.
People diagnosed with dementia may need to rely on a
vast care network to help them through every stage of their
condition. Here is a brief rundown of the various profession-
als individuals may interact with as they navigate life with
dementia.

Is Downsizing right for you?
You’ve lived in your home for decades. It’s full of the scent of holidays and time in front
of the fireplace, of fresh-baked cookies and summer nights. How could you ever leave it?
The truth is, it’s getting harder to go up the stairs or to keep the grass cut. Do you sometimes
wish it wasn’t so difficult to get the laundry out of the downstairs dryer or step over the tub
to get into the shower?
You’re also thinking about your health. You’re still in good shape, but your neighbor
recently fell and moved to an assisted living community. You aren’t sure that’s where you
need to be yet, but what if something similar happened to you?
If you’re experiencing any of these thoughts, you’re not alone. As we age, our bodies
change and we need different living accommodations to make life a little easier. Downsiz-
ing to a smaller, more manageable home — especially one with only one floor and features
designed specifically for seniors — is the answer for many people at this stage.
Once you’ve decided that you want to downsize your home, you’ll need to explain your

· Continue to water plants. Water is essential in the fall

watering duration as plants go dormant.
Fall planting and maintenance can extend gardening sea-

Did you know?
Gardening enthusiasts recognize that fall is not a time to
rest on their laurels. In fact, fall is a great season to spend
time in the yard. The Center for Agriculture, Food and the
Environment at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
indicates fall is the ideal time to improve the soil for next
season. Amending the soil in the fall allows it to react ac-
cordingly over time and reap the benefits in spring. UMass
suggests getting an accurate soil test to see what is need-
ed in the garden. Samples should be taken from various
areas. Avoid doing so when the soil is very wet. At-home
kits can test for nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous and
determine the soil’s pH. Gardeners should till the soil and
add compost or manure, which will counteract many nutri-
tional deficiencies. Worm castings also are good to add,
particularly for summer vegetable gardens. The garden-
ing company Park Seed says that worm castings are high
in minerals and effective at holding water - so much so
that they even can be used alone in place of potting soil.
Crushed egg shells, coffee grounds and banana peels
also can be added in the fall, even if they are not part of a
compost pile. The nutrients will break down throughout the
