Learn about the differences between Alzheimer's and dementia, and how Alzheimer's disease progresses. We talk about why catching the disease early can make a big difference. Dr. Sharon Cohen and Dr. Yaakov Stern walk us through the stages of Alzheimer's disease, from when there are no symptoms to when memory issues start to show. They explain the stages of Alzheimer’s and how it develops over time. We also hear from Kelly, who explains her personal experiences and concerns about developing Alzheimer’s, and what she does about it.

Grafton Railroad History with Paul Justy 57:35

1 year geleden57:35

57:35

We were lucky to speak with Paul Justy, author and Grafton railroad expert. Paul has been a part of the local railroad preservation group for many years, a group which has worked hard to save the historic railroad tower and share knowledge of Grafton's history with everyone. A lifelong resident of Grafton, Paul's interest in the railroad started when he was a child, exploring and learning early on about the industry. Also, Paul and Chris Smith are authors of the book, "The Lost Quarry Industry of Indian Hollow and Willow Park - Grafton, Ohio" which you can borrow from the Library if you'd like to learn more about the quarry industry in the area, made possible by the railroads themselves. Thank you again to Paul Justy for taking the time and sharing his passion for the history of our community. For more information, images, and documents related to the railroad history of our community, visit the Grafton-Midview Public Library's collection online via Biblioboard at https://www.gmplibrary.org/localhistory.…

On this episode I am speaking with Carl and Joe Filipiak, brothers who grew up in Grafton in the late 1940s and 50s, about their experiences and stories about what the village and community was like at the time. Both are former educators and have lots to share and I think listeners should get a pretty good picture of life here in the Grafton during that time. Thank you again to Carl and Joe for speaking with me and sharing!…

In this bonus episode we are lucky to have a guest reader, Joyce Newman from the Carlisle Township Bicentennial Committee, on the show to read from Phebe Farr's autobiography. Phebe was a child of 6 when her family settled in what became Carlisle Township in February of 1818. This reading is an account of her earlier years in the township which was published around 1894 for publication in the local newspaper. Phebe was the daughter of Henry and Eliza Halford of Ovid, New York and married Lowell Farr in 1832. They had 10 children, 9 of which survived childhood and most had children of their own. Phebe died on January 29, 1901 and is buried at South Murray Ridge Cemetery in Elyria, OH. ( https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/66907558/phebe-loretta-farr ).…

The quarrying industry boomed in the late 19th century in the area and Carlisle Township has it's share of them. In this episode we are speaking with Chris Smith, one of the authors of the book "The Lost Quarry Industry of Indian Hollow and Willow Park - Grafton, Ohio."

The Bivins Murders 1:00:03

4 years geleden1:00:03

1:00:03

One of the many articles reporting the murders of Benjamin Bivins, his wife Sarah, and their daughter-in-law Laura Brownell Bivins on January 31, 1865 by their son David F. Bivins. This article appeared in the Painesville Telegraph on February 9, 1865. Only The New York Times mentions Almira Hart by name in the reporting of the crimes. Courtesy of Family Search and Find a Grave It's our season one finale and we're going out with a bang. In this episode, Kari is revealing the story behind a triple homicide to Fred. While the murders happened in Michigan, the motive was located right here in Grafton, Ohio. The Civil War, railroads, women's education, and the illustrious Hart family of Grafton are all discussed to paint a full picture of the murders committed by David F. Bivins in 1865. The catalyst for this episode came in the form of Bivins' autobiography which was donated to the Library in the summer of 2020. You can explore Bivins' autobiography and more historical documents by visiting the Grafton-Midview Public Library, or by checking out our digital collections at www.gmplibrary.org/localhistory . We want to hear your ideas for our second season. If you have a question or topic that you'd like us to explore, be sure to email us at postcardsfromgrafton@gmail.com . After editing this episode and hearing Fred comment on how young David F. Bivins was when he died in prison, I did a little more digging. The Bivins murders appear to be pretty notorious folklore in Michigan with various mentions of them in scrapbooks and newspaper articles ever since they occurred. In 1970, the Detroit Advertiser and Tribune reported that Bivins died of "stricture" and "mortification." In the episode, you'll hear us discussing how Bivins deserted the army during the Civil War because of chronic diarrhea. What exactly did they mean by stricture in the 1860s? The old medical term referred to the narrowing and inflammation of the intestines or rectum; mortification was another term for gangrene.…

Four more GMPL staffers agreed to chat with us about what may be lurking in their family trees and take Ancestry DNA tests: Miranda Emery, Kim Null, Nancy Caithaml, and Ben Cottom.

Old Fashioned Christmas 1:00:04

1:00:04

Beginning in the late 1970s as a way to highlight the businesses along Main Street, Old Fashioned Christmas has developed into a yearly Grafton tradition. We’re chatting with Tami Mullins of the Library and Tami Smith of Smith & Schmidt Agency: Allstate Insurance about this much loved community event. Both have been involved in the planning process of Old Fashioned Christmas for several years and as we say at the top of the episode, it’s so much more than snowflakes and candy canes. From picking a theme to finding the perfect Santa and Scrooge to organizing the food, ice sculptures, reindeer, and raffles, it takes months of planning and many volunteers to bring the event to life. Topics in this episode include a lighted tractor parade, hot dogs, holiday windows, and what businesses we’d love to see along Main Street (Hint: A coffee shop). To find the most up-to-date information about Old Fashioned Christmas, please visit the event’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/GraftonOFC/ .

Meet the Farmers 1:16:58

1:16:58

We've been thinking a lot about food and farmers. When you drive through the Grafton area, it’s hard not to notice the large fields of farmland or a tractor traveling down the road. With the COVID-19 Pandemic we’re cooking more at home, and questioning our shopping and dining habits and the origins of the food on our plates. Less than 2% of the U.S. population has a role in food production. We’re chatting with three farmers in our community: Hannah DiVencenzo, and Jason and Angela Schriver. They are passionate and committed to growing livestock and crops in ways that are good for their families, their community, and the climate. Our conversation includes organic farming practices, the impact of technology and regulations, the Lorain County Farm Bureau, and how the farming tradition can be continued with younger generations. Hannah and Joe DiVencenzo currently sell eggs, whole pasture-raised chickens, and honey. Their farm, Healthy Harvest Organics, is located at 16397 Island Road, Grafton, Ohio. They can reached through their website, email, and social media channels below: www.healthyharvestorganics.com healthyharvestorganics@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/HealthyHarvestOrganics https://www.instagram.com/healthyharvestorganics/ Jason and Angela Schriver are third and second generation farmers respectively. Jason took over his family’s farm in 2000 and farmed conventionally for 16 years. In 2018, the Schrivers transitioned to organic agriculture and were certified organic (row-crop). Jason has been on the Lorain County Farm Bureau Board for 5 years, and currently serves as Vice President. Angela is currently serving as a supervisor for the Lorain County Soil and Water District. Over the past several years, the Schrivers have become active in public policy concerning agriculture, including meeting with Ohio State Senators and members of Congress, and making oral comments during the National Organic Standards’ biannual meetings. The Schrivers have focused primarily on declining organic integrity, particularly how large commercial farms have used their lobbying power to whittle away standards and fraudulent organic products, especially those entering the market from overseas. The Schrivers have hosted a State Soil and Water Supervisor Field Day at their farm in addition to an organic field day for the Community Farming Outreach Initiative. They have recently opened their farm to the public for walks along their 40 acre sunflower field. The Schrivers can be reached through their social media page below: https://www.facebook.com/SchriverFamilyFarms/ For more information about the Lorain County Farm Bureau, including events, farmer profiles, membership, and more, please visit https://ofbf.org/counties/lorain/ .…

Miss Katie and Miss Kari showing off the new 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten train in the summer of 2020; and Miss Maggie, Miss Katie, and Miss Kari celebrating the arrival of caterpillars in spring of 2021. We had a little trouble getting Fred's microphone to sync this episode. His voice carries, but there are a few moments where Katie and Kari's laughter drown him out. This is what regularly happens in the Youth Services Department, but nonetheless we apologize for any listening inconveniences. A lot of things happen in a library, like having storytimes in an old bank vault. Or discovering a dozen donuts in the wall when renovating. Or finding an abandoned kitten during a summer reading kickoff. Or a global pandemic that flips everything upside down. To complement our previous conversation with GMPL veterans, this episode features two of the newest members of the Library, Katie Corcoran and co host Kari Mariner. Katie and Kari discuss what brought them to GMPL, what youth services look like behind the scenes, and what it’s been like to be a librarian during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Harriet Spitzer spearheaded efforts to organize a free public library to serve the Grafton community in the early 1940s. In 1944, the Grafton-Midview Public Library was chartered as a school district library. The Library was housed in the Grafton School on Elm Street for a couple decades before moving to a vacated bank building on Main Street in 1971. In 1991, a renovation expanded and updated the building. The Grafton-Midview Public Library is one of seven independent public libraries in Lorain County and serves approximately 24,000 residents in Grafton Village, Grafton Township, Eaton Township, and parts of Carlisle Township and Elyria.

One of our guests this episode, Tami Mullins, at GMPL back in the day. We had a small technical issue this episode. Around the 2 minute mark when Tami is discussing summer reading, Kari's microphone cuts out. It lasts until around 04:22 when we replaced the batteries. We apologize for the inconvenience! A lot of things happen in a library, like having storytimes in an old bank vault. Or discovering a dozen donuts in the wall when renovating. Or finding an abandoned kitten during a summer reading kickoff. Or making dozens and dozens of chicken paprikash meals as part of a levy campaign. This episode features three Grafton-Midview Public Library veterans, Tami Mullins, Lauren Baldwin, and co host Fred Backstrom, chatting about what library land is really like. Harriet Spitzer spearheaded efforts to organize a free public library to serve the Grafton community in the early 1940s. In 1944, the Grafton-Midview Public Library was chartered as a school district library.
