Thursday, February 4, 2016 s 50¢ A new ‘Den’ in Tuppers Plains By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Health Department recently made the decision to not apply for the Fiscal Year 2017 five-year Competitive Cycle Reproductive Health and Wellness Program, also known as Family Planning, through the Ohio Department of Health. Leanne Cunningham, director of Nursing at the Meigs County Health Department, also serves as the reproductive health and wellness grant director. She said that the fiscal year 2016 for the program runs through March 31 of this year, with no new patients being taken at this time. The program itself is a Title X-funded program, which means it is a program that is offered on a sliding fee scale, or reduced cost. The current program offers pre-pregnancy planning, cervical cancer screenings, birth control, STD testing and confidential services for teens, women and men. The grant provides two clinics a month at the Meigs County Health Department, as there is not a full-time doctor on-site, Cunningham said. According to an email sent by Cunningham on Jan. 28, the health department is not applying for the grant because the new grant requirements are not realistic for the department. These requirements include unfunded mandates within the grant, such as the procurement of electronic medical records, which have a minimum cost of $13,000. Other requirements include a considerable time increase that must be spent on the grant, including additional training and time to serve the actual patients. However, none of these requirements have additional funding, Cunningham said. Another reason for the decision to not apply is the lack of new patients and the lack of patients who show up to appointments. Cunningham said that for the 2016 fiscal year, the department hoped to have 300 new patients, but only received 47 . And of those new patients for the 2016 fiscal year, the department only saw a 61 percent show rate of patients, or patients who actually show up to their scheduled appointments. “Our overall program numbers are down, and even if we reach people to confirm their appointments, they don’t show come the appointment time,” Cunningham said. “We, therefore, are paying a provider to be on-site for (the) clinic when very few show up. I have researched the numbers of people reached by the grant, and the majority do have Medicaid, which means they can seek this type of care through other providers.” Cunningham said the department has advertised for these services with a billboard currently located at the intersection of Highland Road and State Route 7 in Pomeroy, and that they also make reminder calls regarding appointments. Another reason for the decision to not re-apply is that as of Jan. 1, 2016, all new grants that start from that day onward are 100 percent reimbursable, which means the department must spend the money on whatever they need before being reimbursed by the state health department. According to Cunningham, this reimbursable grant change is a federal-level decision, but is tough on the smaller health departments in Ohio and across the country. “We have sought input about whether or not to continue this grant both internally through many hours of conversation and debate, and externally through the Meigs County Consortium and the Get Healthy Meigs!

See DEN | 2 Ex-officer rejects deal to keep K-9 MARIETTA (AP) — A recently retired police officer says he has rejected an offer from the southeastern Ohio city where he worked that would allow him to keep his K-9 partner Ajax if he agrees to work on a volunteer basis, according to news media reports. Matt Hickey had offered $3,500 to buy Ajax, but Marietta officials rejected that deal, saying they would have to follow the law and sell the dog at auction because Ajax was city property and could still work. They said they never intended to separate Hickey from his former canine partner, and Mayor Joe Mat- thews said the city council would meet Thursday night to authorize a resolution that would allow Hickey to keep the dog if he joined the auxiliary police. Hickey said he can’t join the Marietta auxiliary police because he retired in January out of health concerns and hasn’t worked since July because of neck and shoulder injuries. Ohio law allows officers to purchase their K-9 partners for $1 when the dogs are retired. But it also says an officer who leaves a law enforcement agency while a canine or equine partner is still fit for duty forfeits the right to buy the animal. State Sen. Lou Gentile, a Democrat from Steubenville, has said he plans to introduce legislation to change the law. “Officers and their dogs spend every day together, risking their lives to protect our communities,” Gentile said in a statement Tuesday. “They should be given the option to spend retirement together, but unfortunately state law is standing in the way.” A phone number for Hickey could not be found. City officials didn’t immediately respond to messages left for comment Wednesday.

We said we would put it off until we felt confident that it was something we could accomplish together. “A wedding, a baby, and three years later, and here we are. It is so gratifying to see the process from start to finish, to see something that we dreamed up on a piece of notebook paper late one night. It’s amazing and terrifying at the same time.” Another plus to the new business is the creation of new jobs, with 12 employees hired to run the Tuppers Plains store. “This is what this is about — giving people the opportunity that wasn’t there before, the chance to put themselves or their children through college and put food on their tables,” Kelsey said. “This is how we pay our bills, and its also how our employees pay theirs. It’s very important to us that everyone knows that once you are here, you become a part of our family, whether you are here to stay or just passing through. There is no way we could do this without the people with whom we call the ‘heartbeat’ of our business.” According to Kelsey, the store hopes to have their merchandiser coolers in by Super Bowl time, and said the delay has been because of weather. However, there is still a soda machine currently in the store for drinks as well. In the end, the Stewarts hope this new addition to Tuppers Plains can continue to bring about positive change in the community. ”This store is also like a second child — or third, if you’r counting our actual daughter in the mix — to us,” Kelsey said. “There isn’t a part of this building that wasn’t hand-picked by us, together as a team. We hope that each person that comes through our doors feels the love and dedication that we put into it, and we hope they truly enjoy the fun, laid-back atmosphere we hope to provide.” For more information, visit their Facebook page at Fox’s Pizza Den TP, or for orders call 740-667-3697.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, net interest income increased $15,000 from the previous year. Positively impacting net interest income was the growth in earning assets. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, average earning assets increased over $27 million, or 3.6 percent, from the same period the prior year. The growth in earning assets was attributable to an increase in interest-bearing deposits with banks and to average loan balances. The growth in interest- bearing deposits with banks was related to higher balances being maintained at the Federal Reserve in relation to seasonal tax refund processing. The growth in loan balances occurred primarily within consumer and residential real estate lending. Although the OVB experienced growth in average earning assets, the net interest margin declined. Contributing to the lower net interest margin was a decrease in asset yields, which more than offset the reduction in the cost of our funding sources. With the prolonged low interest rate environment, there is limited opportunity to further reduce our funding costs, while the average rate on loans continues to trend lower. Additionally, the higher balances maintained at the Federal Reserve have a dilutive effect on the net interest margin due to the balances only earning .25 percent for most of 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the net interest margin was 4.22 percent compared to 4.54 percent for the same period the prior year. With the recent signing of a merger agreement with Milton Bancorp Inc., it is anticipated that the transaction will be 8 percent accretive to the company’s earnings per share in the first full fiscal year of operation following the merger, assuming MBC cost savings of 15 percent. MBC operates five branches with assets of $141 million, loans of $110 million and deposits of $126 million. After the merger, the company’s total assets will exceed $900 million and branches will increase to 19 locations. The merger consideration was valued at $20 million at the time of signing the merger agreement. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of regulatory authorities and the shareholders of MBC. The merger is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2016.

On Friday we marked Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Awareness Day, dedicated to getting the word out about the tax credit that can be a lifeline for working families. Last year, 950,000 Ohio households claimed the EITC, and received an average refund of $2,400—but too many families don’t realize they’re eligible. One in five families who are eligible for the EITC fail to claim it, and miss out on potentially thousands of dollars. We know that filing taxes is complicated, and it can be particularly Sherrod challenging for families claiming the EITC. But getting help doesn’t need Brown Contributing to be expensive—in fact, it can be Columnist free. One tool available to Ohioans is the IRS Free File program, available at IRS.gov. Commercial partners of the IRS offer free brand-name software to individuals and families with incomes of $62,000 or less. For families claiming the EITC, another option is to use one of Ohio’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites. VITA sites are not only free, they are more reliable than paid sites—the majority of EITC errors result from returns filed by paid tax preparers. All VITA volunteers are trained by an organization partnering with the IRS. They know what they’re doing. That’s why I fought to secure $3 million in additional funding for the VITA program. And it’s why I’ve introduced the VITA Act to make the VITA grant program permanent. Wall Street CEOs and billionaire corporations have armies of accountants at their disposal. I want to make sure working families across Ohio know that VITA sites are there to work for them. Finally, whether they’re filing online or going to a VITA site, Ohioans need to be on the lookout for tax scams, and report them to authorities. Unexpected emails and phone calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatening Ohioans with arrest are always scams. The IRS never initiates contact with taxpayers by email, and they don’t initiate phone calls demanding immediate payment and issuing threats. You should report possible scams immediately to 1-800-366-4484, or online at treasury.gov/tigta and select the “report scam” button. We must ensure that all Ohioans know about the resources available to help them claim the tax credits they’ve earned. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, serves in the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C.

They aren’t the right option for everyone, but for some parents they are the best choice. Educational opportunities shouldn’t be determined by a child’s zip code; rather, our children deserve a quality education regardless of where they reside. The American people want better for their children than the status quo. Furthermore, each student has different needs, and every student deserves the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to succeed in this global economy. I’ll continue to support policies that restore local control, reduce the federal footprint in our classrooms, support and reward good teachers, and empower parents to have a louder voice and more choices in their children’s education.

DeWine announced an investigation in midJuly after anti-abortion activists began releasing undercover videos they said showed Planned Parenthood personnel negotiating the sale of fetal organs. Spokesman Dan Tierney said Right to Life was among many groups concerned by the videos, but they didn’t prompt the probe. Planned Parenthood has since been cleared of the fetal organ allegations by several states, including Ohio, and two activists have been indicted and are fighting the charges. “Obviously, the attorney general and Mike (Gonidakis) have known each other for many years, and obviously they do care about a lot of the same issues,” Tierney said. “As is evidenced by the records request, it’s certainly not an uncommon occurrence (for the two to communicate).” The records request turned up no evidence that DeWine’s office had shared its Planned Parenthood report with Gonidakis in advance.

Three minutes into the second quarter, the Southern boys basketball team trailed by just three points, but TriValley Conference Hocking Division guest Trimble ended the first half with an 18-5 run and the Tomcats rolled to a 71-40 victory, Tuesday night in Meigs County.

Southern scored the first five points of the second canto, cutting the deficit to 17-14, but the Tornadoes were held off the scoreboard for over five minutes as Trimble built its lead to 31-14. The Purple and Gold ended the first half with a 5-4 spurt, but THS held a 35-19 lead at halftime. The teams played close to even to start the second half, Trimble outscoring Southern by a 13-12 clip in the first six minutes of the third quarter. However, the Red and Silver scored the final 11 points of the third and led 59-31 head- ed into the finale. Trimble outscored its host 12-to-9 over the final eight minutes, capping off the 71-40 victory and the season sweep of the Purple and Gold. “What we’re having trouble with right now is that we give up big runs to the other team,” SHS head coach Jeff Caldwell said. “We have to find a way to stop those, especially on the defensive end. At times we didn’t get into our offense and we tried to force some things. We have to play better, we’ll work at it and try to get ready for Friday night.” SHS junior Crenson Rogers led the Tornadoes with See TOMCATS | 8 Wahama sweeps Lancers, 62-54 By Bryan Walters the Red and White, as the Lancers (4-3, 2-10) stormed out to MASON, W.Va. — It’s a 17-9 advantage after not how you start some- eight minutes of play. thing, but rather how Wahama found its offenyou finish it. sive touch in the second The Wahama boys canto as senior Mason basketball team erased Hicks scored eight a five-point halftime points during a 15-12 deficit with a 38-25 run, allowing the hosts second half surge Tues- to close to within 29-24 day night en route to a at the break. 62-54 victory over visitJunior Philip Hoffman ing Federal Hocking erupted for 10 points in a Tri-Valley Conferas part of a 19-10 third ence Hocking Division quarter push that gave matchup at Gary Clark WHS a slim 43-39 cushCourt in Mason County. ion headed into the finaThe host White le, then Ryan Thomas Falcons (7-6, 7-5 TVC provided seven points Hocking) picked up for the hosts as part of their second straight a 19-15 run down the win while also claiming stretch — allowing the a season sweep of the White Falcons to pick Lancers.

Enduring a pair of epic droughts from the field, host River Valley combined for a mere six points in the middle two quarters on Tuesday night — and fell 57-41 against the Athens Bulldogs in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division boys basketball bout. The loss left the Raiders winless in the TVC-Ohio in nine tries, part of a 3-15 overall mark. Athens, minus its standout performer Griffin Lutz with a likely season-ending injury, improved to 10-7 — and 7-3 in the TVC-Ohio. The Bulldogs were also without the injured Robert Dickelman again, but thanks to outscoring the Raiders 29-6 over the middle two cantos, Athens afforded itself the luxury of resting its starters in the entire fourth quarter. The Raiders raced out to a 12-5 first-quarter lead on Tyler Twyman’s back-to-back three-point goals — the second one occurring at the 3:35 mark. Unfortunately for River Valley, its next field goal wasn’t until the 5:49 point of the third period — when Twyman drove the baseline and scored inside. By then, the Bulldogs had doubled up the Raiders 28-14, as Athens actually reached its largest leads of 46-19 and 48-21 when Jarrett McCarley scored the next Raider field goal exactly eight minutes later. “Those two quarters just killed us. Scoring two points in the sec- ond quarter and four in the third quarter. Just killed us,” said River Valley coach Jeremy Peck. The end of the first frame actually set those wheels in motion. Brody Ball made a steal and layup for Athens with two-anda-half minutes left, then Dalton Cozart drained a three-pointer at the 50-second mark to close the gap to 12-10. Cozart then — just 40 seconds into the second stanza — popped another three-ball, giving the Bulldogs the lead for good. River Valley, meanwhile, went scoreless from the field — and endured a full five-minute scoring drought to trail 22-13. Dustin Barber made a free throw for the Raiders at the 5:37 mark, then Twyman sank another free throw exactly five minutes later. But Justin Hynes’ putback for the Bulldogs, with four seconds left in the first half, made it a double-digit (24-14) advantage at halftime. The third period saw Athens open with back-to-back putbacks by Zacciah Saltzman, doubling the cushion to 28-14. Twyman then scored to finally stop the astonishing 13-minute, 46-second field-goal drought — but it was then another full five minutes before the Raiders scored again. McCarley made a pair of free throws to make it 32-18, but Cozart’s third three of the game, a pair of Cozart free throws and finally another Saltzman stickback boasted the Athens advantage to 21 points (39-18). The Raiders did outscore Athens 23-18 in the fourth quarter, but got no closer than the final score on a Scottie Hughes basket at the buzzer. Twyman tallied 12 points, including 4-of-7 free throws, to pace the Raiders. McCarley, who also had four fourth-quarter field goals, added 10. Hollis Morrison mustered a deuce and trey in the fourth quarter, as Barber finished with 4-of-6 free throws. Kirk Morrow with a first-quarter three-pointer, Jacob Dovenbarger with a first-quarter free throw, Jacob Morris with a fourth-quarter field goal, and Patrick Brown with two four-quarter free throws rounded out the Silver and Black. Saltzman, on six total field goals and 2-of-2 free throws, led Athens and all scorers with 15 points. Cozart canned three threes and 3-of-6 foul shots — plus a fourthquarter two — for 14 markers. Ball made two twos and a three towards seven points, while Logan Maxfield scored six on two field goals and 2-of-2 free throws. Treyce Albin had five fourthquarter points, while Hynes had a pair of second-quarter field goals and Micah Saltzman four fourthperiod points. Nick Lutz’s layup in the third quarter rounded out the Athens scoring. The Raiders returned home, and returned to TVC-Ohio action, on Wednesday night with a makeup matchup against Wellston. River Valley will then host league-leading Vinton County on Friday night.
