The beautiful little building on South Oval has been, and continues to be, the site of many of OSURA’s finest meetings. Until recently our Annual Meetings were held there and currently the Dinner Series is held there. Five OSURA Presidents have also served as Faculty Club Presidents – and Isabell Miller, College of Education, was the first woman president of BOTH organizations!
“The Club” has been changing its name and “rebranding” itself to assure that ALL of the university community feels welcome and included – but indeed, it began as a Faculty Club. The first mention in the Board of Trustees minutes was in 1915. In 1922 meeting space was set aside in The Administration Building (now Bricker Hall).
In 1938 the Board of Trustees approved the request for funding. No university funds were used. The members of the faculty club raised 55% of the cost – and a grant from the WPA provided the other 45% of the funding. The University did
provide the actual space on The Oval, next to Orton Hall and next to the Mirror Lake glen. It would replace Botanical Hall,” home to the OSU Herbarium. The latter is now housed on Kinnear Road at the Museum of Biological Diversity.
Evidence points to Howard Dwight Smith as the architect for the building. He is best known on campus as the architect for Ohio Stadium, but at the time of construction of the Faculty Club he was the University Architect, attended planning meetings of the Faculty Club Board of Control, and committee members also met with students in his architecture classes!
April 24, 1939 The Faculty Club took up residence at 181 South Oval Drive. In the almost 80 years since it opened it has been the site for many good meetings and excellent cuisine. With redecoration inside, and a new patio overlooking the new Mirror Lake soon to open, The Club will add even more
gracious opportunities to the university community.
The Faculty Club
FROM: The PresidentSpring OpportunititesIt is that time of the year when daylight is clearly winning over nighttime hours, and the days are finally warming up to ward off the temptation to move to Florida, Arizona or other southern territories.
But it’s way too early for spring cleaning, mowing your lawn, trimming hedge, or performing similar domestic duties. It is during this lull between winter and such duties that I’d like to offer two interesting and exciting opportunities with OSURA. You can thank me later.
The first is an opening in the position as the OSURA representative on the FCBC (Faculty Compensation and Benefits Committee). This is an extremely important committee that deals with wages, health care, retirement-pension plans, and related topics of employed faculty; but these issues often extend into the retirement years. FCBC is a major advisory committee for the University President and OSU governance. This position has been dutifully occupied for the last three years by Dr. Raimund Goerler and it is time now for Rai to step down from this position (effective July 1, 2018), so he can devote full-time to chairing the Cultural Arts Committee for OSURA. The FCBC meetings are held monthly on campus with a time commitment of two hours each. The position is for a retired OSURA faculty member. I can’t think of a better way to stay connected to the inner workings of OSU faculty and OSU governance.
The second opening, also occurring on July 1, 2018, is the OSURA Chair of the Travel Committee, available to both retired Staff and Faculty. This committee meets once every 2 months for < 2 hours. Alabelle Zghoul RN has done a great job over the last 6 years as the Chair of this Committee, but other forces in her life (some health related) currently occupy a competitive edge over chairing the Travel Committee. I’m sure that many of you have enjoyed the OSURA trips, averaging 8-12/year, arranged by Alabelle and her committee. My wife and I have traveled with OSURA on a number of occasions, including a tour of Great Lakes Museum (with lunch at Klinger’s Tony Packo’s restaurant); a ride on the canal boat near Coshocton; an enlightening visit at Berea, KY; a daylong excursion at the Air Force Museum in Dayton; and several others. We have yet to join the OSURA groups that have traveled internationally (e.g. Scandinavia, Italy, Canada by Rail), but we’ll eventually get there as well.
So you see, the FCBC position and the Travel Committee provide great services for OSURA members and are two of the many benefits that make the annual donation of $25 (formerly “dues”) one of the best bargains on earth. For more information about these two positions or any interest in them (or any other OSURA committee), please contact Raimund Goerler at [email protected], Alabelle Zghoul at [email protected] or Carl Leier at [email protected].
And so, go ahead, look over those windows, sharpen the mower blade and oil your trimmer, but before you take on the actual tasks of cleaning, mowing or trimming, please consider these two opportunities as a great way to assist fellow OSURA members. And it is certainly more interesting and exciting than filling out those #%!$@& tax forms.
I remain, optimistically yours,

The Top 10 Mistakes Made in Estate PlanningThe Spring Issue of the University of Nebraska Retirees Association-Lincoln carried a timely discussion about Estate Planning. We will carry the article in three parts. Here is Part I.
Mistake #10: No planning at all
Only 41 percent of Americans have an estate plan in place. Unfortunately, failing to have an estate plan means that the court system and state statutes will govern where an estate goes when someone dies, leading to unnecessary probate proceedings, fights over who may serve as executor or personal representative and unnecessary taxes and fees.
Mistake #9: Waiting until the last minute to plan
Unfortunately, we often receive phone calls from folks who have received a bad diagnosis and/or know that they are going to pass away. This is an extremely stressful time and the wrong time to plan your estate. The best time to plan an estate is when you are healthy and can make clear decisions.
Mistake #8: Failure to update your estate plan
Many clients we meet with have not updated their plan in 10, 20, or even 30 years! Life happens, and circumstances change dramatically. Perhaps one of your children has gone through a divorce, or a loved one of yours has passed. Failure to update the plan could mean that it will not work how you desire it to at the time of your death. Federal and state laws have changed dramatically in the last 15 years, and your estate plan may be unnecessarily complicated or just out of date.
Mistake #7: Forgetting about your “stuff” – (i.e., personal property)
When we work with individuals on estate planning, we plan for disposition of tangible personal property. Where do items such as jewelry, fire arms, art work and family heirlooms go when you die? Sadly, I have learned that the number one reason family members fight after a loved one dies is over belongings. By properly using a laundry list, you can ensure that it is less likely your children will fight over your “stuff” when you pass away.

OSURA News 6
There is increased attention on elder financial fraud and scams (known as EFFS) as 5.6% of older adults are estimated to be victims. These are acts performed by a stranger (rather than family or friends) and defined in a recent article in the American Journal of Public Health as “an intentional distortion of truth initiated to convince another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.” This could include sweepstake scams, false investment scams, and the popular grandparent scam (in which an individual claims to be a grandchild and calls and asks for money to be sent quickly because of a legal problem). Identity theft is also included in this definition.
While these scams can occur to anyone regardless of age, older adults are often targeted disproportionally because they are more likely to have financial resources, may have poorer decision-making skills, and are less likely to report the scams. Those suffering from social isolation and from depression are more likely to become involved in the scams.
Public health professionals have become concerned because EFFS is associated with serious physical and mental health problems. Among the difficulties faced by victims are major depression, anxiety, increased hospitalization, and even premature death. Health professionals report that victims are more likely not to comply with medication regimes or follow up with required tests. Many victims experience anger, stress, embarrassment, and shame because their competence is called into question and because it is more difficult to recover from financial losses later in life.
Suspected cases of scams should be reported to law enforcement and to adult protective services. Among those suggestions to prevent involvement in scams are using bill paying services, bank account fraud alerts, and fraud protection services that monitor credit histories.
Elder Financial Fraud Scams
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Joyce Ann Smith
Joyce continues her association with The Ohio State University after 24 ½ years as Extension specialist in Textiles and Clothing with a joint appointment in the College of Food Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and the College of Human Ecology. She volunteers weekly in the College of Human Ecology Historic Costume Collection cataloging donations and researching biographical information on individuals associated with the collection garments and has been doing this for more than ten years. Joyce
served on OSURA’s Benefits Committee for six years, chaired the fall conference in 2006 and co-chaired it the following year to mentor the incoming chair. Joyce attends the conference every year to stay connected to OSURA and to continually update on the breadth of topics offered at the conference.
She is on the Board of Trustees of her condo association, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and is active in St. Agatha Church, serving as lector, member of the Handbell Choir, a member of the team which makes about 70 embroidered white tabards for the newly baptized each year, and is a Sunday collection counter each month.
Joyce western style square dances, taking this up in the last two years after first learning to do so in the late 1960s. Western style square dancing, which involves 30 weeks of beginner lessons,
is more complex than the Eastern style or barn dancing most people are familiar with. It is good exercise but also challenging and good stimulation for the brain, as some of the advanced calls are complex. She is also taking a class on Native Americans at the Upper Arlington Senior Center. She travels and takes at least one special trip each year: In August she will visit Scotland. She dabbles in furniture refinishing and tries to restore one item a year.
Joyce earned the Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Vermont, Master’s at Iowa State University, and the Ph.D. at The Ohio State University. In addition to her OSU employment she has taught at Bowling Green State University and Kansas State University and was a county Extension agent for seven years in New York State, both in the Catskills and in Syracuse, New York.
