Jutte leaving Fort practice (5/29/04)
Business roundup
A longtime Fort Recovery chiropractor will be relocating to Tennessee soon, and his practice will be taken over by a Kansas native.
Dr. Scott Jutte is moving to Franklin, Tenn., and his new practice will be in Dixon, Tenn. His last day in the Fort Recovery office will be Wednesday, June 30.
Assuming the Fort Recovery practice will be Dr. Dan Carr, who will begin seeing patients on Tuesday.
Carr was raised in Garnett, Kan. He attended Dodge City Community College and Kansas State University before graduating from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, Kan. in April of 2002.
While in school, he played football, basketball and baseball and ran track, which increased his interest in treating a wide variety of sport-related injuries.
Carr plans to expand the services offered at the Fort Recovery office to include massage and physical therapy and being an in-network provider for many insurance plans.
An open house and farewell party will be held at the office, 103 E. Broadway St., on Friday, June 11, at 4:30 p.m. (Ohio time).

NEW OFFICE OPENS
Help At Home Inc. opened its new Portland office on Wednesday at Jay County Hospital.
HAH “is a home care agency committed to enhancing the quality of life for our clients and providing a viable alternative to living in a nursing home or long-term care facility,” according to its web site.
The agency has office hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it has on-call staff available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, chief operating officer Ron Ford said Thursday afternoon.
“We have a contract with LifeStream” Services Inc., Ford said. Some clients will be referred to HAH after the LifeStream officials make a determination as to the type of services required. Services also are available on a private-pay basis, Ford said.
The agency provides a variety of services from simple homemaker services, such as housekeeping, laundry, shopping, errands and companionship, to more complex care such as bathing, medication reminders, assistance with ambulation, assisted transfers and overall personal care assistance. Skilled nursing services also might be available.
The majority of their clients are frail elderly or others in need of assistance, Ford said.
HAH has hired many of the home health aides and homemakers, who previously worked for the local 1st Call Home Health and Hospice which ceased providing these types of services, Ford said.
HAH also has offices in Winchester, Muncie and Logansport, Crown Point, Indianapolis, Lafayette and Seymour, with plans to open an office in the Richmond area in the near future.
It also provides services in Alabama, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee with 43 offices, more than 8,000 employee and 15,000 clients.
SAFETY TIPS OFFERED
May is National Electrical Safety Month, and Jay County REMC offers these tips from Safe Electricity for making home improvements and repairs.
•Look around you. Always be aware of the location of power lines, particularly when using long metal tools like ladders, pool skimmers and pruning poles, or when installing rooftop antennas and satellite dishes or doing roof repair work.
•Be especially careful when working near power lines attached to your house. Keep equipment and yourself at least 10 feet from lines. Never trim trees near power lines — leave that to the professionals. Never use water or blower extensions to clean gutters near electric lines. Contact a professional maintenance contractor.
•If your projects include digging, like building a deck or planting a tree, call your local underground utility locator before you begin. Never assume the location or depth of underground utility lines. This service is free, prevents the inconvenience of having utilities interrupted and can help you avoid serious injury.
•If it’s raining or the ground is wet, don’t use electric power or yard tools. Never use electrical appliances or touch circuit breakers or fuses when you’re wet or standing in water. Keep electrical equipment at least 10 feet from wet areas.
Also, REMS urges, make certain home electrical system and wiring are adequate to support increased electrical demands of new electric appliances, home additions and remodeling projects. An older home might be inadequately wired for today’s electrical consumption, putting your family at risk for fire and electrical shock.
Safe Electricity is the public service awareness program for more than 36 organizations, and promotes electrical safety and efficiency.
