Weekly News and Announcements

Hello Rotarians and Friends! What a great meeting this week! Chris

Shape was back just in time for birthday cake, Nick Verina and Rob Berk

filled in on Fellowship and ALL five of our proposed members were in

attendance today. Just doesn’t get any better than that!

Rob and Nick kicked off the meeting with information on the various ways

a person could lose weight….Adkins, South Beach, low fat, no fat, low

calorie, liposuction, gastric bands….more ways than we could come up with

in an entire meeting. And they topped it off with a huge platter of

cookies from Mocha House! Losing weight is something none of us did at

this week’s meeting, that’s for sure!!!

Our guests this week were: John Brown, Christine Cope, Steve Schubert,

Joe Morgan, and Ben Moody….all who are ready to be inducted.

Expressions of Concern – Please keep Barry and Leanna Dunaway’s family

in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with a family tragedy.

Sometimes prayers are the only thing to bring comfort and we are sure

they will appreciate them at this difficult time.

Rotary on the Road – Mark your calendars that on

May 3 our club lunch meeting will be held at

Children’s Rehab in Howland. Lunch will be provided

by Panera Bread. Sign-up sheets were sent around

today and will be sent around again next week.

Remember, if you sign up for lunch and don’t show up that day, you will be

expected to pay the $10 anyway. If you can’t be at a meeting to sign up

for lunch, contact either Kim Straniak or Dave Smith to make your lunch

reservation.

RI International Convention – As you know, next year our club will be

celebrating its 100th anniversary. Julia Wetstein, Bob Hoy and Dallas

Woodall are making plans to attend to represent the club. Julia said that

Geoff Goll from Salem has reserved a block of rooms for the event and if

anyone else is planning to attend, they should make reservations ASAP.

Only three of these rooms are left. The Convention will be held from

June 10 to 14, 2017. The deadline for early registration is passed, but it’s

not too late to get registered. Expect to hear more about the upcoming

convention in Atlanta, GA as the year goes by.

exciting one!

Joint Care Center

We were absolutely delighted to welcome Dr. Ken

Jones to our meeting this week to talk about Knee

and Hip Pain and the Joint Care Center at Trumbull

Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Jones and his brothers, Dr. Tom and Dr.

Michael, are with Northeast Ohio Orthopedics on

North Road in Howland. He is a graduate of Ohio State University’s

College of Medicine, is a member of the Howland School Board and, along

with his wife, founded the Downs Syndrome organization in the Mahoning

Valley.

Most knee and hip pain is caused by arthritis. He explained the

difference between Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis and the

treatment options for both.

Osteoarthritis can be caused by wear and tear, genetics and trauma and

causes the gristle at the end of the bones to wear away.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto immune disease that wears away the

cartilage.

Treatment options can include: rest, hot or cold therapy and losing

weight. To slow down the progression of the disease the following can be

done: exercise and weight loss; physical therapy, using aids in walking,

medication such as Tylenol; NSAIDS, taking joint supplements, and using

topical anesthetics. The last line of defense is the prescribing of

narcotics and injections.

Dr. Jones also talked about how Arthritis can affect the hip and said

that the ball joint becomes egg shaped and when it reaches that stage a

hip replacement will need to be done.

He said that typically knee replacements are done 4-5 times more

frequently than hip replacements. There are several options available

when it comes to knee replacements as well. Among them: Arthroscopy,

partial knee replacement or a total knee replacement.

Knee replacement surgery has changed a great deal over the past several

years. It is less invasive, the operation taking approximately 45 minutes

to perform. Many patients go home the same day. He said the key to the

Joint Care Center’s success in joint surgeries is the pain management

process both before and after the operation. He said that their pain

management includes an injection of pain medication and a numbing agent

that lasts for about five days after the surgery, allowing the patient to

get mobile again faster and go home sooner.

Julia Ballas, who is the Joint Care Coordinator at the Joint Care Center,

attended as well and said she is the person who will work with patients

before the surgery so that by the time the surgery happens they are

better prepared and their recovery is assured. She said that the care

model of the Joint Care Center has won awards for its effectiveness and

innovation. She said that they have a 0% complication rate AND a 0%

infection rate. She also said that most patients walk more than 300 feet

within one day of their surgery and 96% of all patients go directly home

without having to go to rehab.

The Joint Care Center is a jewel in our community and Dr. Jones said that

he is taking steps to get the word out about this facility and its success.

I, for one, was so happy Dr. Jones could attend today. The information

was invaluable for anyone who experiences knee pain or has a family

member who suffers with it. Those wishing to learn more about the

subject can attend community seminars offered by the Joint Care

Center. They can be reached at 330-841-5633 for the date, time and

location of the next seminar.
