County offers Digital Inclusion and

Literacy courses for area residents
Medina County has launched
a digital inclusion and literacy
(DIAL) program for residents and
communities.
Digital inclusion refers to the
actions required to ensure that
all individuals and communities
in Medina County, including the
most disadvantaged, have access
to information and communica-
tion technologies.
“We in Medina County have
developed the Digital Inclusion
and Literacy pro-
gram,” says Steve
Hambley, Medina
County commis-
sioner. “In having
this new technology
Steve available, we want
Hambley to make sure people
have full access [to it, and] once
they have it in their homes, that
they know how to use it.”
Digital inclusion has the follow-
ing elements: Affordable, robust
broadband internet service; inter-
net-enabled devices that meet the
needs of the user; access to digital
literacy training; and quality tech-
nical support. The fifth element
focuses on the applications and
online content designed to enable
and encourage self-sufficiency,
participation, and collaboration.
DIAL programs are available
online and in-person to teach par-
ticipants how to access streaming
services on your television, how
to choose the best internet pro-
vider for your needs, how to cre-
ate a non-carrier-specific email,
and combine with your existing
email account, and how to use a
Chromebook laptop. DIAL also
offers a course on internet basics
and online safety, available via
in-person only.
DIAL partners include the Me-
dina County Commissioners, the
Medina County District Library,
the Medina County Office for Old-
er Adults, Medina County Career
Center, Medina County Law En-
forcement, and Medina Fiber.
With the successful completion
of each learning program, partic-
ipants can receive a certificate of
completion.
By presenting their certificates
to Medina Fiber, they can receive
a 50% discount on their month-
ly bill for the first three months of
service. Or they can show their
certificate at any Medina Coun-
ty Library to obtain a two-month
loan on a cellular hotspot.
Hambley notes there is a “uni-
verse of opportunities and vari-
ability of programming out there
that you can have at your finger-
tips,” by participating in the DIAL
program.
Residents can learn more about
the DIAL program and register for
courses by visiting www.medina-
co.org/dial.

OFFICE FOR OLDER ADULTS

Medina County commits to justice on World Elder

Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) Thursday, June 15
The International Network for
the Prevention of Elder Abuse and
the World Health Organization at
the United Nations (UN) launched
the first World Elder Abuse Aware-
ness Day (WEAAD) on June 15,
2006 in an effort to unite commu-
nities around the world in raising
awareness about elder abuse.
World Elder Abuse Awareness
Day provides an opportunity for
communities to promote a bet-
ter understanding of abuse and
neglect of older adults. WEAAD
reminds us that elder abuse has
implications for all of us. It is a call
to action for individuals, organi-
zations, and communities to learn
how to identify, address, and pre-
vent elder abuse so we can all do
our part to support everyone as
they age.
Elder abuse can include physi-
cal, emotional, and sexual abuse;
financial exploitation; and neglect
(including self-neglect). Abuse can
happen to any older person, by
a loved one, a hired caregiver, or
a stranger. Abuse can happen at
home, at a relative’s home, or in
an eldercare facility.
There are many signs of possi-
ble elder abuse. The community is
an important set of eyes and ears.
Therefore, it is critical for family,
caregivers, health practitioners,
friends, and neighbors to watch
for these signs and act accordingly
if an individual:
• Seems depressed, confused,
or withdrawn.
• Is isolated from friends and
family.
• Has unexplained bruises,
burns, or scars.
• Exhibits poor hygiene or
appears underfed, dehydrated,
overmedicated or undermedicat-
ed, or is not receiving needed care
for medical problems.
• Has bed sores or other pre-
ventable conditions.
• Exhibits recent changes in
banking or spending patterns.
If you suspect that a vulnerable
adult age 60 or over may be a vic-
tim of abuse, neglect or exploita-
tion, do not hesitate to call the
Adult Protective Services hotline
at 330-661-0800.

Happy Retirement!

Manns returns for more drum fun
by Amber Holahan, Recreation Coordinator
Residents loved their first visit with Olugbala Manns so much back in
November that Access the Arts brought him back for a second time to
have fun with the residents at the Medina County Home.
Manns, a professor of African Studies at Kent State University, taught
about topics that corresponded with drumming such as working as a
group, being receptive to others, and
kindness.
Residents learned how to drum to-
gether, stay on beat, and learned a new
song about love.
The Medina County Home loves
Manns’ talent and teachings and hopes
he comes back to visit soon.

May was ‘National Drug Court Awareness Month’
Drug Court Awareness Month is
a celebration of restoring lives and
families by providing opportuni-
ties to justice involved individuals
that struggle with addiction.
What is RECOVERY?
Recovery is a process of change
through which individuals improve
their health and wellness, live a
self-directed life, and strive to reach
their full potential. Recovery is:
Rebuilding, Empowering, Coura-
geous, Opportunity, Valuable, En-
couraging, Resiliency, Yours.
Below are a few stories from
some of the brave men and wom-
en who participated and graduat-
ed from the Medina County Drug
Court program out of Judge Joyce
Kimbler’s Court.
What has Drug Court
done for me?
“It has shown me that I have
been powerless in my life. I was
living on drugs and alcohol. It has
taught me to live life on life’s terms
and to love myself, my family, and
my surroundings and to have so-
ber friends and enjoy them. It is a
blessing in disguise. It has shown
me that I can make better deci-
sions in life and that I don’t have
to repeat the cycle, and above all
of that, it taught me to live a sober
life and to be happy about me!
This is what the drug court has
given to me.” – C.W.
Journey Through
Drug Court
“This Drug court has been one
of the best things to happen to
me! I was using drugs for about
11 years and have been through
Leadership Medina County’s 2023 Medina County Administration Leadership Class volunteered several hours planting
167 trees along the Chippewa Inlet Trail for the Medina County Park District on Thurs., May 18. The class has met monthly
over the last 12 months and will meet on Tues., June 13 for the final time for their graduation recognition and celebration.
DRUG COURT
a few programs that weren’t work-
ing for me until I got accepted to
Medina drug court. Since then,
I have been able to keep my so-
briety and stay engaged with my
treatment. Everyone on this team
is amazing and wants to see me
succeed. Without the nudge of
drug court, I might not have 11-
1/2 months off opiates and meth.
I am truly blessed and grateful to
be given this opportunity!” – S.L.
Drug Court
“Drug court has changed my
life. Drug court has changed my
life so drastically that when I was
asked to write this letter, I really
had to put some thought into this,
not because I didn’t know what
to say, but I didn’t know how to
say it. I was given this opportunity
as a last resort, and it completely
showed me a new way of life. It
gave me so much structure, ac-
countability, and a great founda-
tion as a stepping stone to the pro-
gram. I was given a gift of a new
life and another chance I didn’t
think I was deserving of, and be-
cause of this, I now see what I de-
serve. I am so grateful that I was
given this opportunity of a better
way of life. Without Drug Court,
I would have never been able to
do this. Forever appreciative and
grateful.”
Drug Court Awareness
“I don’t have anything bad o say
about drug court. I am glad I was

my life around! Drug court helps
you with a lot of things. They will

a job if you need one. But most
importantly, they help you live a
normal life again. They will keep
you accountable, but still give
you chances in case you fall tack
down. They will help you back up
again and help keep you on track.
Drug court has helped my life tre-
mendously. Thank you for helping
me save my life!” – J.E.
Drug Court
“In my addiction, I had to learn
to juggle. I had too many unnec-
essary things taking precedence
over what I was taking for granted.
In my recovery, I learned balance.
I have a better understanding and
appreciation for the ‘simple’ life.
By definition, the term ‘recov-
ery’ means to return to a normal
state of health, mind or strength.
Meaning the action or process of
regaining possession or control of
something lost or taken away. I
am very proud of the progress and
accomplishments I have made. I
have goals set to better my future.
I have learned to make better de-
cisions. I have learned to identify
my weaknesses and triggers; and
how to redirect those negative im-
pulses into positive actions. I am
grateful for the support I was will-
ing to find through the drug court
program. I have learned from
many great and accomplished he-
roes. If it’s your turn to join this
life-changing journey, embrace it!
If you’re living with addiction, you
know your life needs to change.
Change begins with knowledge.
Good luck to all of you.” – L.W.
