To achieve these goals, surveys were performed to gather information from ODOT and other DOTs on current technologies used by their construction personnel in the field. In addition, a market survey of all viable off-the-shelf technology to address issues experienced by field construction personnel was performed. Screen extenders as well as technologies to improve internet connectivity for construction personnel in the field were identified. Finally, cost analysis was conducted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using the identified new technologies. Based on that recommendation were made for the most efficient and cost-effective technologies to be used by ODOT construction personnel during various field tasks
Leg Braces
No full textThis photograph shows leg braces that were often worn by patients with polio to help support the weight of the body and to encourage leg bones to grow in the correct position. Polio, also known as Infantile Paralysis, is an acute paralytic disease, which can cause sore throat, fever, tiredness, nausea, and even paralysis. The first polio outbreak in the United States occurred in Vermont in 1894. By the late 1940s, more than 35,000 people had been disabled by polio. The leg braces in this photograph were donated to Toledo Lucas County Public Library by the Ability Center of Greater Toledo

Madonio music scene memoir rocks off charts
Inside story delights to tune of 1,000 copies sold
By Chas Madonio
Author, "Bars, Bands, and Rock-nRoll:
The Golden Era in Kent, Ohio"
I had always aspired to be a writer
from the time I was in high school, but
life took me in a different direction. I
freelanced a number of articles over the years, including a few to the Record-Courier about my years in music. My friend, Roger Di Paolo, always published them and after a few, he encouraged me to write a book about those years when Kent was the #1 spot
in the area for
rock 'n roll.
I resisted and never took it seriously. One day over breakfast with Roger Thurman, who was compiling information for such a book, he
encouraged me First-time author, Chas to "just start Madonio, sets 1000+ copies

would write the book if he would agree
to be my editor. But he related to me
that he was unable due to his illness.
I realized that my generation was dying at an alarming rate and ifsomeone didn't start documenting this period in Kent's history, all the wonderful stories would be lost forever. It was such a magical time in all our lives, I wanted to recreate the atmosphere for those who experienced it to relive it and for those too young to know
Writer, press chronicle local history
By Thomas Hatch
Wearer of Many KHS Hats
KHS Press is the publishing arm of Kent Historical Society. We publish books that chronicle the history and culture of those who have lived, worked, or grown up in Kent. "Bars, Bands, and Rock 'n Roll" by Chas Madonia is a great example of a story that comes out of the lived experience of some remarkable people -and Chas has told it well.
Publishing a book requires the skills of many. For this book, Jona Burton offered his graphic design expertise for the book design and typography, I served as editor, and Nancy Madonia skillfully copyedited the manuscript. Jim Gundlach designed the cover.
Editor's note: Previous KHS Press publications include "Rooted in Kent, " "Railroad Town" and "1hen & Now. "
what it was like, to find out. So, I started
writing.
It was in the fall of 2018, a few months before the word Covid debuted in our vocabularies. My plan was to contact as many of my old contemporaries as I could find and let them tell their stories. I wanted to collect all the stories about not only the musicians but also those who hung around with us, the clubs where we played, the club owners, the places we hung out and all the many characters who made everything even more interesting.
Without Facebook, I would never have found so many of them. They all had stories and nearly everyone thanked me for

undertaking the project. They all wanted to be remembered.
Sadly, many had faded memories. And even sad
der, manyhad died.
Three years later, the book was complete, with as many pictures as I could find. Unfortunately, there were few pictures from the early years. My hope is that anyone reading the book can be transported back to the magical days of the 60s and 70s to share our experiences.
