The Ohio Division of Liquor Control knows how to jump-start the new year.

Starting today (Jan. 1, 2018), retailers across the state that sell high-powered spirits will offer closeout prices on nearly 700 products, ranging from cheap vodka to $100-plus single-malt scotch. The discounts will amount to 25 to 40 percent off the regular retail price.

Officials at the Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Liquor Control have dubbed the discounts the “Last Call” campaign, and it does have its caveats.

Not every product that is being discounted will be available at every liquor store — in fact, far from it. Customers won’t be able to order any of these closeout items because the state says those products will not be restocked. If you find it, you can buy it, for the discounted price. You might want to think of it as a scavenger hunt.

Here’s how a spokeswoman for the division of liquor control summarizes the Last Call campaign:

“These are de-listed items, and once sold, will no longer be stocked in Ohio. The product will vary by Agency (store). I’d suggest if someone is interested in a specific product, that they contact their local “store) to see if it’s in stock. Again, once it’s sold, it won’t be restocked.”

“The discounts will allow these products to move faster, freeing up space on shelves and in storage. This will allow for more room for products consumers would like as well as new products, allowing (Ohio’s) Liquor Enterprise to continue its innovative approach to the business.”

We asked for the product list and price list from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control, so we can show you what’s available, and how much it’s discounted.

This copy-paste from the liquor-control folks shows the name of the product, followed by the regular retail price, and then the discounted retail price effective Jan. 1, 2018 — all followed by the bottle size. In some cases, only one SIZE bottle of a particularly brand will be discounted, while other sizes will not be.

(And purely as an aside — Cilantro Vodka? Really??)

The final chapter to a perfectly awful Browns season will be written Saturday when the 0-16 Perfect Season 2.0 Parade kicks off at high noon outside FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

There was a glimmer of hope on New Year’s Eve when the Browns threatened to rally for a win in Pittsburgh, but that ended when Corey Coleman let a fourth-down pass from DeShone Kizer slip through his hands late in the fourth quarter. The Browns lost 28-24.

So there was no holiday miracle this year to dash the chances of an 0-16 parade, unlike last year when the Browns pulled off a late-season win over the San Diego Chargers to finish 1-15.

As the final seconds ticked away in Sunday’s game, Browns fan Chris McNeil, who lives in Granville outside Columbus, sat in a Buffalo Wild Wings in Canton and realized the real work was about to begin.

The whole Perfect Season Parade started out as a joke last year as the Browns fumbled their way through a forgettable season.

He tweeted that the city should throw a parade — a la the Cavaliers victory parade after winning the 2016 NBA championship — should the Browns do the unthinkable and not win a single game in the regular season.

The joke gained momentum, and soon fellow Browns fans were chipping in donations to cover the cost for everything from security to portable toilets to insurance.

When the Browns then won on Christmas Eve, money raised was donated to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank instead.

Thanks to donations from the Browns and their coaching staff, along with some local radio personalities, McNeil said, the food bank netted some $50,000.

But this time around, there was no comeback, and the Browns joined the dubious ranks of NFL teams that have completed winless seasons.

McNeil is still hoping to make a donation to the food bank this year, but first he has to spend $6,000 on security, another $1,000 on portable toilets and $1,500 on insurance.

To help ease the pain, Excedrin headache relief has donated $7,683 to help cover the costs of the parade.

McNeil admitted he was hoping for a win — just as he has every game this season.

“This game was brutal,” he said. “It was such a microcosm of the whole season — watching Corey Coleman drop a ball most receivers catch.

“I take no joy in [organizing] this parade.”

The reaction from players after the game was mixed when asked about the parade.

Browns running back Isaiah Crowell said “it doesn’t bother me” and the thought of fans gathering to mockingly celebrate a winless season “is what it is.”

“I know we’ve got real loyal fans, and I got a lot of respect for them just because they stick with us when we’re not doing so great,” he said. “So I feel for them, and I feel like it’ll get better.”

Cornerback Jason McCourty said he understands fans are simply frustrated.

“I feel for the fans,” he said. “They’ve had to go through some pretty bad seasons — 1-15 last year, the team was 3-13 the year before — it’s frustrating for them as well.”

Linebacker Christian Kirksey said the city has a pretty loyal fan base.

“We have our Cleveland fans who love us regardless,” he said. “Wins or losses, they’re going to have our back. But I’m not [dwelling on] the parade. I’m not thinking about that. They do what they choose to do.

“But I know my mind is fixed on just getting better and winning.”

The Twitterverse has not been kind to McNeil, who once lived in Bath Township and attended Revere schools before his family moved to southern Ohio when he was a teen, as he has had his fair share of detractors.

But there are several thousand fans who say they plan to attend the parade, including some who claim they plan to fly into Cleveland to spend the weekend commiserating with like-minded followers of the Brown and Orange.

Now it is a matter of organizing the 40 or so units that have said they want to march in the parade.

McNeil said the parade will include some notoriously decked-out Browns tailgate vehicles and a band or two.

There is one guy, McNeil said, who creates new tombstones for his annual Halloween display for every starting Browns quarterback dating back to the team’s return to Cleveland.

It seems he has lined up 28 people to march with him in the parade to help carry the tombstones.

McNeil said he is hopeful this is the first and last Perfect 0-16 parade he ever has to organize.

“The Football Gods are out there,” he said. “I don’t want to even think about next season. God willing, we will never talk about another 0-16 parade ever again after Jan. 6.”

HURON — Ashten Taylor Robson and Craig William Casper, both of Huron, exchanged wedding vows on Oct. 7 at the Norwalk reservoir. Timothy Naro was the officiant. A reception was held at the Huron County Fairgrounds.

The bride’s sister, Ciara Robson, of Milan, was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Ashley Simmons, of Collins; Reanne Montgomery, of Norwalk; MacKenzie Napholz, of Sandusky; Jessie Shepherd, of Mansfield; and Alexandra Bowers, of New London. Kaliana Nester, goddaughter of the bride, of Huron, was flower girl.

Taylor Todd, of Huron, served as his brother’s best man. Groomsmen were Brian Hance, of Bellevue; Jacob McKenzie, of Norwalk; Kyle Nickoli, of Norwalk; Devon Hipp, of Norwalk; and Mason Robson, New London, brother of the bride. Vinton Robson, nephew of the bride, was ring bearer, and was led by Casey Scheid, cousin of the bride.

The bride is the daughter of Kevin and Heather Robson, of Wakeman. She is a 2011 graduate of Western Reserve High School, and is employed with Maurice’s in Sandusky.

The groom is the son of Leslie Casper, of Norwalk. He graduated from Norwalk High School in 2008, and from Bowling Green State University in 2012. He is employed with Norwalk Custom Order Furniture.

COLUMBUS — Just as voters are recovering from the record-breaking onslaught of TV ads over drug pricing, they’d better prepare for what could be a busy ballot in 2018.

Recreational marijuana could be back.

There could be dueling issues to change the inherently political process through which Ohio redraws congressional districts every 10 years.

Petitions are in the field to put a pair of constitutional amendments on the fall ballot to give voters in counties and townships home-rule power — like cities and villages have — to pass laws via the ballot box.

A proposed constitutional amendment would require the state to provide more local rehabilitation and treatment options for low-level, non-violent drug offenders and give sentence credit for time they’ve spent in treatment, work, or education programs.

Another would impose stricter regulations on puppy mills.

“The reason people go to the ballot is because the legislature isn’t dealing with their problems,” said Peg Rosenfeld, elections specialist for the League of Women Voters of Ohio. “That’s why we have initiative and referendum. They figured that out in 1912. If the legislature can’t or won’t do it, this is a way for people to do it for themselves. It looks like that’s what’s happening.”

Two years ago voters agreed to change the redistricting process for state legislative districts. The new system will be used for the first time after the next U.S. Census in 2020.

Among other things, it is designed to provide for more bipartisan input, require the resulting map to be more politically representative of the state as a whole, and attempt to keep counties and communities intact when possible.

If similar rules were applied to congressional districts, there would be no “snake by the lake” — the 9th District represented by U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, a Toledo Democrat, that snakes along the Lake Erie shoreline from Toledo to Cleveland without keeping a single county fully intact.

There would be no 4th District “duck” with its beak in Lorain County, its feet in Urbana, and its tail feathers in Mercer not far from the Indiana border. That district is represented by U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, an Urbana Republican.

Legislative leaders were initially reluctant to do something similar for congressional districts until an effort by government watchdog and voting-rights groups began gathering steam for a November 2018 ballot appearance.

Now there’s the potential for two proposals — one on the May 8 primary ballot and another on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Senate President Larry Obhof (R., Medina) said he expects passage of a resolution with bipartisan support by the end of January. The deadline to put a constitutional amendment proposed by the legislature on the primary ballot is Feb. 7.

It remains to be seen whether the citizen-proposed effort would continue once its backers see what’s in the legislative proposal. The deadline for filing petitions for November ballot issues is July 4.

“We deserve real reform that is meaningful. If it’s on the May ballot and it’s not acceptable, we’ll marshal the resources to fight it and continue to collect signatures,” said Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio.

While the accuracy of the summary language for petitions for most of the proposals have been certified by Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office, no language has been submitted for the latest plan to legalize recreational marijuana and industrial hemp.

It’s being pushed by elements behind 2015’s failed pot legalization proposal who are angry with the process used by the state that did not pick them among the state’s 24 licensed cannbis-growing operations.

While the 2015 proposal failed badly at the polls, it did serve as impetus for lawmakers to legalize cannabis for medical use only.

Every one of the pending issues is a proposed constitutional amendment. None is a proposed initiated statute, which has a lower signature threshold up front and gives the General Assembly first crack at passage before another round of petitions puts the question directly to voters.

The result is a statute, which could eventually be altered by lawmakers like any other law, as opposed to a constitutional amendment, which can only be changed by another voter-approved amendment.

Ms. Rosenfeld said she was disappointed that discussions about reforming the system by the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission were cut short when the General Assembly eliminated funding.

“They were very close to coming up with a really creative solution to make it easier to get initiated statutes on the ballot and maybe make it more difficult — but not too much — to do constitutional amendments,” she said. “They were consciously and explicitly urging people to go for statutory rather than put everything in the constitution.”

Once the issue of redistricting is decided next year, Ms. Rosenfeld said ballot issue reform might be next on the league’s agenda.

“If you’ve got enough money, you can get anything on the ballot,” she said. “It you don’t, it makes it more difficult for citizen initiatives, but that’s not going to stop the people who want casinos or marijuana, and it won’t stop PhRMA from outspending everybody in the world.”

TAMPA — When Ohio State and Vanderbilt met Oct. 14, 1933, only a smattering of fans showed up to Ohio Stadium despite the unseasonably warm temperatures that crept into the mid-70s.

The cavernous football cathedral, just 11 years old at the time, had a seating capacity of 66,210. The attendance was 21,358. The Buckeyes won 20-0 in an uneventful game that has but one lasting memory: It was the first game between Big Ten — then known as the Western Conference — and Southeastern Conference schools.

Eighty-four years later, debate about conference supremacy among the leagues’ athletic directors, coaches, players, and fans burns bright with a blue flame.

“I can tell you this: we at the Big Ten don’t want to be like the SEC in any way, shape, or form,” then-Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said in 2012 before exiting to — Arkansas in the SEC.

The Big Ten has an opportunity to shut out the SEC this season. Northwestern already defeated Kentucky in the Music City Bowl, and the Big Ten was 2-0 in the regular season. If Michigan beats South Carolina in the Outback Bowl, it will be a clean sweep, which hasn’t happened since 1993.

In 153 all-time meetings, the SEC holds an 89-62-2 advantage against the Big Ten. In bowl games, the SEC is 51-30. The two most high-profile games the conferences have played occurred in the 2006 and 2007 national championship games, when Ohio State suffered back-to-back blowout losses to Florida and LSU. The SEC hasn’t had a losing decade against the Big Ten since the 1970s.

During the Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke eras, Michigan contributed to the Big Ten’s national woes. But it’s actually propped up the conference against its chief rival, the SEC — especially if you forget about that 41-14 loss to Alabama in 2012. The Wolverines are 14-7 all-time against the SEC, including a 4-0 record against Florida and 2-2 mark against the Crimson Tide.

There were murmurs about a Big Ten resurgence in recent years — Ohio State won the national championship in 2014, the arrival of Jim Harbaugh at Michigan elevated the downtrodden program, and Penn State and Wisconsin have soared.

In the past five seasons, the conference is 33-29 against Power Five leagues. But the conference hasn’t scored a single point in a playoff game since the Buckeyes defeated Oregon in the first College Football Playoff championship game, and the Big Ten was left out altogether this season.

In its place is the mighty SEC, with Alabama nudging Ohio State to the side. The one-week debate, which felt like an entire lifetime, featured college football’s most powerful programs. The SEC might have a two-teams-to-none advantage over the Big Ten in this season’s playoff, but that’s not to say it’s lapping college football like it did a decade ago.

When the conference won seven consecutive national championships from 2006-12, it was the undisputed kingpin of the sport. It never was more apparent than in 2011, when Alabama and LSU played in the championship game in New Orleans. Four different teams won those seven titles, and the average margin of victory was 17 points. The final score was only within a touchdown once.

The SEC has lost some of its luster during the first three years of the playoff. It’s only captured one national title, and Alabama is the lone dominant program. Traditional powers Florida, LSU, and Tennessee are a combined 112-75 in the past five seasons, an average record of 7-5. Until Auburn’s November surge, the Tigers also were entangled in mediocrity.

When Urban Meyer arrived at Ohio State in 2011 and challenged Big Ten coaches to start recruiting more aggressively, it had an impact. Meyer, who spent five seasons at Florida and defeated the Buckeyes 41-14 for the 2006 title, cited the SEC’s superior athleticism in stating his case for why the Big Ten lagged behind.

“Having played in the SEC, the talent level is just off the charts with the athletes,” said former Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson, who recently transferred to Michigan. “But talent level is all relative. Obviously, the Big Ten is an incredible conference with a lot of great players. You’re going to play against talent wherever you go.”

Big Ten coaches, while miffed, heeded Meyer’s call and stockpiled their rosters with talented players, oftentimes from the south. In 2012 — Meyer’s first season as OSU’s coach — the Big Ten had two teams ranked in the top 30 recruiting classes. Currently, the Big Ten has six of the top 30, according to ESPN. The SEC has eight.

“I think the Big Ten has picked it up,” said Allen Trieu, a recruiting analyst for 247Sports.com. “Ohio State, in the last 10 or so years, has consistently recruited at a national level. Michigan has for a majority of those years as well. But now you have Penn State recruiting at a high national level. You add in that some of the other schools in the conference have picked it up — Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Minnesota have all turned in recent class rankings that are among the best in school history. As a whole, there has been a rise in the way the conference has recruited.

“It is part of the college football arms race. I think the Big Ten has gained respect. For one, there are a good number of conference players from a variety of schools getting drafted and thriving. That helps. You have very notable coaches, recognizable names at many of the schools, and then you consistently have teams that are competing for playoff spots. That trickles down and helps the conference as a whole when it comes to visibility and perception.”

Harbaugh, James Franklin, Scott Frost, Paul Chryst, and Jeff Brohm are among the strong coaching hires. Ironically, it was Bielema who left Madison for Arkansas after winning three consecutive Big Ten championships because he felt like he couldn’t win a national title at the school. Bielema was fired in November after a 29-34 record (11-29 in the SEC) in five seasons at Arkansas.

I’m sorry, but seriously boys, has the @bigten lost a bowl game?!?? Keep piling it on boys!!! What happen to “strong, physical, SLOWWWWW B1G?!?!? Hahahahaha!!!!!! Love it!!!!! Go @bigten!!!!!!!!!!!

— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) December 31, 2017

Six years after Meyer’s initial comments, he issued a different statement at this season’s media day gathering in Chicago.

“I don’t think there’s a gap at all. And that’s no disrespect to other conferences,” Meyer said. “I’ve coached in the SEC East when that was one of the strongest in the country, and I think the Big Ten East right now is every bit as strong as I can remember the SEC East.”

In the past decade, the SEC is 24-15 against the Big Ten and half of those victories have come by at least two touchdowns. During that same period, the SEC is 18-10 in bowl games, which brings us to the most popular argument in the Midwest: SEC schools won’t play in the north.

It’s true.

Missouri and Vanderbilt are the only SEC schools to play in a Big Ten team’s stadium dating to 2008 (LSU played Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay). Only three of the 39 games played since 2008 have occurred north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The Big Ten has put a dent in the SEC’s superiority, and the SEC has become a top-heavy league with a sizeable gap between Alabama and the rest of the teams. Still, there is work to be done for the Big Ten. In recent seasons, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Michigan State have joined Ohio State in the top 10 of the rankings, although the conference still lags behind in marquee games.

The Big Ten was 3-7 in bowl games last season. But a Michigan win against South Carolina on Monday would cap a remarkable 8-0 record for the conference this season.

Perhaps signalling a textbook maneuver in college football’s civil war.

“I’m sorry, but seriously boys, has the @bigten lost a bowl game?!??” ESPN broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback, tweeted Saturday. “Keep piling it on boys!!! What happen to ‘strong, physical, SLOWWWWW B1G?!?!?’ Hahahahaha!!!!!! Love it!!!!! Go @bigten!!!!!!!!!!!”

SEOUL, South Korea –– Kim Jong Un Monday repeated claims that he could hit the U.S. with a nuclear weapon, saying that its deterrent is “irreversible” and would prevent President Donald Trump from starting a war.

“It’s reality, not a threat, that the nuclear button is always on my desk,” Kim said in a televised New Year address. “The U.S. can never start a war against myself and our nation now.”

South Korean television stations stopped broadcasting the speech before it ended.

Kim’s Jan. 1 speeches have previously set the direction for tensions on the Korean peninsula. A year ago, he said North Korea was in its “last stage” of preparations to test-fire an intercontinental ballistic missile, and he ended up launching three of them.

Besides those tests, North Korea also detonated its sixth and most powerful nuclear device and fired more than a dozen rockets. South Korea assessed that the most recent launch in late November of a new Hwasong-15 ICBM –– its largest yet –– could potentially reach Washington, though additional analysis was needed to determine whether it was capable of re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.

Last year was also notable for a war of words between Kim and Trump, who repeatedly threatened military action to stop the rogue state’s nuclear program. Trump referred to Kim’s weight in one Twitter post, prompting the North Korean leader to call Trump a “dotard” and warn of the "highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.”

Even so, Trump has also floated the idea of friendship with Kim on occasion, and has called on him to “make a deal” on its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The United Nations Security Council last month approved its strongest sanctions yet on North Korea -- a move that Pyongyang described as an “act of war.” In recent days, Trump has warned that alleged illicit Chinese oil sales to North Korea may jeopardize a peaceful resolution to the confrontation. China has denied the accusations.

Norwalk celebrated the end of 2017 and made way for 2018 Sunday night.

About 400 people rang in the new year at Ernthausen Recreation Center’s Family First Night, where families and friends gathered to have fun for the year’s last few hours in an environment free of alcohol, drugs and any bad influences that are common during the holiday.

Wholesome family fun is something the center strives for and seeks to continue providing during the next 365 days, said Nikki Cross, recreation director.

Huron resident Kandy Briggs said that’s why her family has attended this New Year’s Eve event for the past several years.

“We love it and we come every year because it’s family first,” said Briggs, the mother of Rihana Briggs and Jazmine Johnson. “That’s how it should be. And they love it. (The kids) like the swimming a lot. That’s what they do first and then the bouncy houses and then the dance party is just the top of the cake.”

Her daughters and their cousins, Janna Milleson and Peyton Koch, won the event’s Minute-to-Win-It games challenge, taking home the family games bundle. All agreed it was “a lot of fun.”

For the Watson family, first-time attenders, the event was in line with its values and expectations. 

“We wanted our kids to have a really good, fun environment,” mother Amy Watson said. “We just love kids and we love this rec center. We moved here about four years ago and I just think it’s great that we live in a community that does something like this for the kids. … We’ve enjoyed everything. The events and the activities and everything there is to offer. It’s wonderful — especially for the price.” 

An entrance fee of $5 per person was charged.

For Jeff and Amy’s son Silas, 4, this was a big year.  

“This is his first year staying up for it,” Amy said. “Last year we actually made our own ball and dropped it at 9 o’clock before he went to bed and so this is a pretty big year for him. He’s had a blast.”

Their daughter Alice enjoyed making the noise makers used to celebrate the new year after the clock struck midnight, while Silas said his favorite part of the night was the “jumpy houses” and playing the life-sized Hungry, Hungry Hippos game. He was looking forward to seeing the New York Times Square grand ball drop.

“It’s really fun,” Silas said.

“I’m excited to see what God is going to do within Norwalk in 2018,” said Jeff Watson, who serves as pastor for Norwalk’s Foundation Church. “I think we’re going to start seeing a revival begin to take place within people’s hearts. People will be closer to God than ever before and we’ll really start to see the power of prayer revealed. I’m excited to see what it brings.”

Norwalk Mayor Rob Duncan said the community looks forward to seeing the new fire station completed and some monetary issues fixed. 

“We’ve had some real budget issues in 2017,” he said. “It’s not bad but I don’t like running that kind of a deficit so I’m really looking forward to fixing some of those problems — living within our means and taking care of the city the way we should without some of the struggles we’ve had.”

Overall, Duncan said he views 2018 with optimism for the city. 

“If you look at the stock market, I think it’s optimistic,” he said. “I think some of the bigger cities have seen the recovery a lot quicker. The smaller cities and municipalities, I think it’s taking a little longer, but we’re seeing a steady growth in our businesses and some of our local businesses are expanding.

“We just got a new chamber director, (Kelly Lippus). Melissa (James) did a great job, but I think anytime someone’s in there that long, someone else is going to come in with fresh, new ideas. I can see the collaboration already and people are excited about it.

“Moving forward, I think we’re going to see some exciting things going on in the community,” Duncan added. “I think you’ll be able to see, from many different areas, just more people getting involved right now.”

A wind chill advisory will be in effect until noon Wednesday for Huron County and the surrounding areas.

The South Central Local Schools were closed today because of the extreme cold.

Arctic air continues to flow into northern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania.

The flow of air will begin to shift around to westerly direction and then southwest direction tonight, pushing the snow bands up to the lake shore. Eventually, the snow will gradually come to an end in the southwest flow Tuesday.

Very cold wind chills are expected. The cold wind chills will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin.

Expect wind chills to range from 15 to 24 below zero.

Wind chill temperatures will improve slightly during the afternoon but will quickly drop back during the evening. The cold wind chills will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin.

A wind chill advisory means that cold air and the wind will combine to create low wind chills. Frost bite and hypothermia can

occur if precautions are not taken. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves.

Improvements

While the improvements made and begun in Norwalk during this year 1895 have not been as numerous and costly as in former years, yet they have been substantial and show a steady growth for the city. Many of the houses which were vacant at the beginning of the year have been filled up and quite a large number of new ones have been erected, Included in the latter list are the following residences: 

Louise M. Beniff, South Pleasant; D.A. Woodward, Milan; A.S. Rogers, Hickory; S.L. Altafisr, West Main; G.M. S. Sanborn, West Main; L.D. Ward, Christie; Elizabeth O’Byrne, Newton; Albert Crosby, North West; H.C. Shedd, Benedict; J.Q. Adams, Benedict; Frank Batchman, North West; O.F. Walton, South Linwood.

Added to these is the new electric light plant on Water Street, the new school house on Benedict Avenue and the new Methodist Church on West Main Street, all fine, costly structures which entailed the expenditure of large sums of money and gave employment to a large number of men.

As we start the New Year, it’s time to make your New Year’s resolutions and a great time to think about scheduling your annual Wellness Visit. Simply contact your primary care physician/provider to schedule your appointment for the year. This visit is part of your Medicare benefit and most insurances covers a similar type of service each year.

Medicare exams: What you need to know

Did you know that Medicare covers two types of wellness visits for people aged 65 and older? Those who are new to the Medicare program are eligible to receive a one-time Welcome to Medicare preventive exam. After that, Medicare covers Annual Wellness Visits for Medicare recipients.

The Welcome to Medicare exam is for new Medicare patients, and must be done within your first year of coverage. This initial preventive physical exam occurs only once during your first 12 months as a Medicare patient. After that time window, you may receive an Annual Wellness Visit … but you must wait at least one year following your Welcome to Medicare exam.

Included in your Welcome to Medicare exam:

· An evaluation of history, health conditions and prescription medications.

· A baseline check of blood pressure, vision, weight and height.

· A recommendation of screenings and vaccinations.

At the annual wellness visit your healthcare professional will:

· Talk to you about your medical history.

· Review your risk factors.

· Develop a personalized prevention plan to keep you healthy.

Be aware that your Medicare annual wellness visit is not the same as a regular yearly physical exam. Medicare is very specific about what its annual wellness visit includes and excludes.

The annual wellness visit does not include:

· A hands-on exam.

· Testing recommendations.

· Discussion of new or current medical problems, conditions and medications.

For these issues, patients must schedule another appointment.

Medicare pays 100 percent of your welcome to Medicare exam and annual wellness visits with no copayment and no deductible.

For more information about the welcome to Medicare preventive exam and Medicare’s annual wellness visit, ask your family physician or primary care provider. If you do not have a primary care provider, Fisher-Titus Medical Care can help you find one. Call 419-660-2900 for more information or to schedule an

Average retail gasoline prices in Ohio have risen 10.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.48 per gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 5,345 gas outlets in Ohio.

This compares with the national average that has increased 3.9 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.48 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Ohio during the past week, prices Sunday were 16.9 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 15.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 1.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 13.6 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on January 2 in Ohio have ranged widely over the last five years:

$2.31/g in 2017, $1.90/g in 2016, $1.93/g in 2015, $3.35/g in 2014 and $3.28/g in 2013.

Areas near Ohio and their current gas price climate:

Akron- $2.39/g, up 2.7 cents per gallon from last week's $2.36/g.

Dayton- $2.51/g, up 17.6 cents per gallon from last week's $2.33/g.

Columbus- $2.51/g, up 18.7 cents per gallon from last week's $2.32/g.

"It's mostly a happy New Year as gas prices remain in the low-to-mid $2 per gallon range, but it's not quite as happy as could be as it's the priciest start to a New Year since 2014," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "2017 wrapped up a fairly tame year, but keep in mind oil prices are among the highest we've witnessed in over two years, and we're in the middle of a severe cold snap, one which is likely to drive up demand for heating oil, propane and other petroleum products, which is certainly a bullish start to the year. GasBuddy's 2018 Annual Fuel Outlook, being released tomorrow morning, will be giving motorists a good look at what to expect in the year ahead. In looking at our own report card from our 2017 Fuel Outlook, we had forecast a yearly average gas price of $2.49 per gallon, and were less than 10 cents away from hitting it head on. Anyone who's got a tank to fill- whether gas or diesel- will want to stay in the know for what's coming in the year ahead."

FREMONT — Started in 1868 by Ohio settler Washington Gordon, Gordon Lumber this year celebrates 150 years of building communities throughout Ohio and Michigan.

From the small sawmill built 15 decades ago by Gordon in Oak Harbor, the company now has seven locations employing 120 people and servicing 3,500 customers. Bellevue has been home to one of those stores since 1937, though the company moved to its current site at 1275 W Main St. in 1974.

"The history of our company fascinates me," said Pamela Goetsch, great-, great-granddaughter of Washington Gordon and a member of the Gordon Lumber board of directors. "We can accurately trace the life of this company from its founding shortly after the civil war. For the first 30 years my great-, great-grandfather had a prosperous sawmill operation and over time brought other family members, including his brother-in-law, Henry Kilmer, into the management of the company.

"A year after his death in 1903, The Gordon Lumber Company was incorporated in Ohio to support the continued growth of the business."

According to historical records, a basket manufacturing business was added to the business for several years in 1908, and then in 1916 the company went back to focusing on lumber.

During the next several decades the company added a variety of lumberyards and stores. A components (truss) division was added in 1961 and in 2013 the company began transacting business in Michigan. The company has weathered the Great Depression, two world wars and the 2008 housing crisis and continues to serve communities in Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan.

Today, Gordon Lumber operates six home center/lumberyards and a components manufacturing facility in Ohio. Locations include Bellevue, Bowling Green, Findlay, Fremont, Genoa, Huron and Port Clinton. The corporate offices are in Fremont.

"This milestone 150th anniversary cannot be replicated by many companies," says Erin Leonard, president of Gordon Lumber. "Our roots trace back to a time when a single man decided to open a sawmill. From that first step to now, Gordon Lumber has evolved as a standout Ohio business.

"We not only have grown Washington Gordon's original vision by opening home centers and a component plant, we're contributing to the different communities where we have operations,” Leonard added. “And, our company has been a source of employment and support to the building industry for decades."

Today's Gordon Lumber focuses on seven reasons why people should bring their business to their stores: dedicated customer focus, local expertise, real-world experience, hometown pride, rental centers, helpful advice and support, and the longevity of its employees, Leonard said.

The average Gordon Lumber employee has been on the job for 13 years, and half of the employees have been with the company for 20-plus years, Leonard added. Some employees have been with Gordon Lumber for 30 or more years.

"We've embraced the same principles that Washington Gordon and the original family members did when starting this company," Leonard said. "These are our core values. They're what sets us apart in the marketplace and will help us grow into our next 150 years."

Residents of the Mahoning Valley hardly needed an empirical health report from Uncle Sam to enlighten them that the scope of the insipid opiate scourge continues to spiral out of control.

Nonetheless, a report released in December by the National Center for Health Statistics, an arm of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, serves a purpose in validating the depth of the epidemic and reinforcing the need for ongoing concerted action on local, state and federal plains.

As we head out of a year that all indicators show will again set new records for opiate overdoses and deaths, any report card on the quality of responses from the public sector would, at best, be a mixed bag of achievements and letdowns.

The bottom line, however, remains that the deadly trend lines of the epidemic continue to move in the wrong direction — higher and higher.

As the new CDC study so vividly illustrates, the opiate menace reached new and alarming heights nationwide in 2016. That study reports 62,600 Americans died of unintentional overdoses, a 21 percent increase over 2015 levels.

It also showed Ohio had made little progress in shedding its notoriety as a national capital of the epidemic. The Buckeye State ranked second only to West Virginia among the 50 states in highest overdose death rates at 39.2 per 100,000 population. The national average is less than half that at 19.2.

In addition, the report documented a 100 percent rise in the number of deaths from synthetic opiates — most commonly fentanyl that is 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin. Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia sit in the epicenter of that disturbing trend.

Collectively, the data serve as a clarion call for continued vigilance and concrete actions on multiple fronts.

On the local level, we’ve seen numerous promising initiatives and actions in 2016. Just this week, Trumbull County commissioners joined officials in many other counties and states who have sued pharmaceutical companies that many regard as complicit in the drug-death trap.

“This case is about one thing: corporate greed,” the 270-page Trumbull suit says, adding, “Defendants put their desire for profits above the health and well being of the County of Trumbull consumers.”

A victory in the lawsuit could funnel millions of dollars toward compensating the county for excessive costs in fighting the epidemic on the streets and treating its victims in clinics

Other positive developments

Elsewhere this year, Mahoning County launched countywide Quick Response Teams comprised of deputy sheriffs, emergency medical services representatives and professional drug counselors. The team contacts OD victims within 24 to 72 hours of their brush with death and leads them to counseling and treatment.

Valleywide, new opiate action groups and a campaign led by The Vindicator and other local media outlets known as “Your Voice Mahoning Valley” is gathering input from those caught deepest in the plague as tools to fight it.

Statewide, advances have been made as well. Ohio, too, this year filed lawsuit against major pharmaceutical companies, claiming they fraudulently marketed painkillers as safe and nonaddictive. The state also slapped strict limits on painkiller prescriptions and broadened access to Narcan, an opiate antidote, to law enforcement and the general public.

Progress on the federal level, however, has been more spotty. Among the best news of the year came late Thursday, when U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, through persistence and new support from the Fraternal Order of Police, pushed through his INTERDICT Act hours before senators beat feet for their long holiday recess.

Although unanimous Senate approval of the measure was tardy (it was introduced in March), the act offers another layer of protection from fentanyl. It provides $15 million for additional high-tech screening equipment and lab resources to detect the opioid before it enters the U.S.

Given the president’s declaration of a national emergency over the epidemic, Donald Trump should waste no time in signing the INTERDICT Act into law.

Speaking of his national declaration made last fall, state and local communities are still awaiting concrete funding and assistance from it. We’re waiting, too, for action on other key legislation, such as the STOP Act sponsored by U.S. Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, that would require packages to include electronic data to detect drug contraband and the CARE act to vastly increase access to opioid abuse treatment for those on Medicaid. Like Brown’s INTERDICT Act, STOP and CARE have languished in committees for months and months.

Now that Congress has indisputably shown bipartisan support for fighting the opiate epidemic, there is no good reason for our representatives and senators not to act with all due speed come January on those and other anti-opiate abuse measures.

Inaction would translate into shameful apathy toward one of the gravest public-health crises of our times.

The nearly nationwide cold snap is expected to continue for a week or so, increasing chances that household pipes might freeze, and in some cases burst.

Here are some tips from American Water, the nation's main for-profit water company, on how to prevent and deal with frozen pipes, which usually occur in areas such as crawl spaces or along the outside walls where unprotected plumbing is more vulnerable to the elements.

• When below-freezing temperatures occur, keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets that are supplied by pipes running through an unheated or unprotected space to keep the water from freezing. Also, keep kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open to allow warm air to reach water pipes.

• Set the thermostat no lower than 55 degrees if you’re going out of town.

• Know the location of your home’s main water shut-off valve so that you can turn off your water quickly if a pipe bursts inside your home. This valve is often located in a utility room or closet or in the basement, close to where the water supply enters the home.

• If a pipe freezes, first shut off the water to your home immediately, at the main shut-off valve.

• Thaw your pipes with warm air so that you melt the frozen water in the pipe. Do this with a space heater, for example, but avoid the use of kerosene heaters or open flames.

• Once pipes are thawed, slowly turn the water back on and check pipes and joints for any cracks or leaks that might have been caused by freezing.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) is now accepting applications for the 2018 Ohio Tax Amnesty.

Ohio Tax Amnesty officially began Monday and will end on Feb. 15. This limited-time program is available to eligible taxpayers — individuals and businesses — with unreported or underreported tax debts. Over the course of the next six weeks, taxpayers who fully pay qualifying tax delinquencies will owe no penalties and only half of the interest normally charged. ODT is encouraging eligible taxpayers to take advantage of the Ohio Tax Amnesty and move forward without tax liabilities.

“The Ohio Tax Amnesty is intended to help well-meaning taxpayers to make good on their obligations and it allows the State of Ohio to collect outstanding tax revenues to help keep tax rates low for everyone,” Ohio Tax Commissioner Joe Testa said.

Testa says similar amnesty programs in the past have resulted in millions of dollars of additional tax payments from thousands of participants. That money was funneled back into state and local government services benefitting all Ohio residents. The goal this year is to generate upwards of $20 million in tax revenue for the State of Ohio.

Applications and instructions for the Ohio Tax Amnesty are now available online via http://www.OhioTaxAmnesty.gov/PrepareAndApply. To file, eligible taxpayers must mail their completed applications, tax returns, and full payments to this address by Feb. 15:
