DeWine rejects 4th cannabis petition Staff Report COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has rejected the fourth petition for a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution that would attempt to legalize marijuana for medical use in the state. On March 8, the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce received a written petition to amend the Ohio Constitution, entitled “Ohio Medical Cannabis Amendment,” from the group Ohio Medical Cannabis Care LLC, the fourth submission of such a titled amendment by this group. 1,000 valid signatures from registered Ohio voters were submitted. However, DeWine found at least 11 defects with the summary language:The summary language states that the amendment that “medical cannabis” can only be provided to individuals “with a qualiﬁed medical condition.” However, the proposed amendment does not limit qualifying medical patients to those with a qualiﬁed medical condition but more broadly to those “with a disease or pain from a disease.” The summary language states that there shall be no limit on the number of patients with a “qualiﬁed medical.” However, the proposed amendment states that there will be “no limit on patients with a medical condition as recommended by their doctor/ practitioner for the use of medical cannabis.” The summary language fails to make clear, aside from a passing reference, that the proposed amendment creates a new state agency called the Ohio Department of Medical Cannabis. The summary language DeWine states that registration fees shall be paid to the Ohio Medical Cannabis Commission (OMCC) and “after that it will be paid to the Department of Medical Cannabis.” However, the proposed amendment states all fees shall be paid to the OMCC. The summary language states that two of the seven OMCC commissioners shall be appointed “by the ﬁrst ﬁve (5) appointed Commissioners.. However, the proposed amendment does not contain that provision. The summary language appears to prohibit signage on testing facilities and dispensaries containing cannabis leaf or green cross. However, the proposed amendment instead limits signage to the use of a cannabis leaf or green cross.” The summary language fails to reference a provision in the proposed amendment that “dispensaries and CCC will be the only companies that will be allowed to have a sign on their outside building with a green cross or cannabis leaf, per local code. The summary language states that the OMCC”shall have the right to inspect all locations…at any time.” However, the proposed amendment limits inspections to “before issuing a registry card/registry certiﬁcate.” The summary language states that persons over the age of 21 must obtain a registration card or certiﬁcate from the OMCC in order to grow medical cannabis. However, the proposed amendment states that all patients over the age of 21 “possess the right to grow medical cannabis.” The summary language states that, among other entities, a “County or State Medical Assistance Program” cannot be required to “reimburse a patient for the cost…associated with the use of Medical Cannabis.” However, the proposed amendment does not include any reference to County Medical Assistance Programs. The summary language states “all agents or persons transporting usable cannabis or cannabis produces must have documentation and a registry card from the OMCC.” However, the proposed amendment does not include a requirement for a registry card in order to transport. “For these reasons, I am unable to certify the summary as a fair and truthful statement of the proposed amendment,” DeWine stated in a letter to the petitioners. DeWine rejected submissions on July 29, 2015; Oct. 2, 2015; and Jan. 22, 2016, on similar grounds. POSTMASTER: Send address changes to Sunday Times-Sentinel, 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631.

The two hospitals separately are the largest employers in Huntington, with nearly 5,000 employees between them. They are also each among the top ten largest employers in the state. The Federal Trade Commission ﬁled a complaint against the merger in November, saying it would raise costs and lower health care quality by creating a monopoly. An administrative hearing on the complaint is scheduled for April in Washington. The state Health Care Authority differed with the FTC’s interpretation. In its written decision, it said, “the proposed project will reduce duplication, increase efﬁciency, quality, and coordination of care and allow for greater recruitment of professionals, promoting more effective management of population health, enhancing existing programs of health science education, all while maintaining and potentially expanding access to essential acute services to �Ăůů�ƵƐ�ĨŽƌ�ǇŽƵƌ�� ĞƋƵŝƉŵĞŶƚ�Θ�ƐƵƉƉůŝĞƐ͊� ϰϰϲͲϬϬϬϳ� ϳϬ�WŝŶĞ�^ƚƌĞĞƚ� 60645711 Call us at: 60626744 Advertise your business in this space, or bigger HUNTINGTON, W.Va.

President and CEO Timothy Duke said in a statement emailed to the newspaper that the Health Care Authority was supposed to consider the consolidation’s impact on the consumer and whether better alternatives exist. “However, the health care authority would not require the hospitals to identify other bidders,” Duke said. “How does the health care authority know if other bidders are superior alternatives if the health care authority does not even know the identity of the other bidders?” Meanwhile, state lawmakers have passed a bill that would exempt the acquisition from state and federal antitrust laws, which are the basis of the FTC’s complaint. The bill is still awaiting action by Gov.

Added strain on the voice may make us sound weak, strained, or harsh when we speak. But unless you’ve been attending a series of exciting basketball games or acting in a play, a hoarse voice may be a sign of a bigger issue. It may be time for a laryngoscopy. The otolaryngology team at Pleasant Valley Hospital is dedicated to ﬁnding and ﬁxing issues directly related to the ear, nose, and throat. When dealing with hoarseness of the voice, we recommend a suspension laryngoscopy — an outpatient procedure that leads to great results and little downtime — to inspect your vocal cords. In simple terms, a laryngoscopy is the use of a small, suspended scope to examine the larynx, or voice box, and the pharynx, which connects the nose and mouth to the esophagus. With the help of a scope, we can explore your throat to look for abnormalities. Hoarseness can be caused by the growth of polyps, or small tumors, that may or may not be cancerous, and these issues are easily removed during the procedure. If hoarseness existed, your voice should return to normal in a few weeks. Hoarseness is a symptom of what could be a potential cancer issue, so we encourage you to take the time to talk with us.

Ida May Fuller, born on September 6, 1874, was the ﬁrst American to receive a monthly Social Security beneﬁt check. Along with Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins — who was instrumental in the creation of the Social Security Act — Ida May Fuller was one of the ﬁrst famous women of Social Security. She received the check, amounting to $22.54, on January 31, 1940. Back then, people understood that she would be one of millions that would be positively affected by retirement beneﬁts. Seventy-six years after that ﬁrst check, Social Security continues to play a vital role in the lives of women. With longer life expectancies than men, women tend to live more years in retirement and have a greater chance of exhausting other sources of income. With the national average life expectancy for women in the United States rising, many women will have decades to enjoy retirement. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a girl born today can expect to live more than 80 years. As a result, experts generally agree that if women want to ensure that their retirement years are comfortable, they need to plan early and wisely. What you can do “The best place to begin is by knowing what you can expect to receive from Social Security, and how much more you are likely to need to enjoy a comfortable retirement,” said Carolyn W. Colvin, Social Security’s Acting Commissioner and a Social Security pioneer woman in her own right. You can start with a visit to Social Security’s Retirement Estimator. There, in just a few minutes, you can get a personalized, instant estimate of your retirement beneﬁts. Plug in different scenarios, such as retirement ages or projected earnings, to get an idea of how such things might change your future beneﬁt amounts. You can ﬁnd it at www.socialsecurity.gov/ estimator. You should also visit Social Security’s ﬁnancial planning website at www.socialsecurity.gov/ planners. It provides detailed information about how marriage, widowhood, divorce, selfemployment, government service, and other life or career events can affect your Social Security. Your beneﬁts are based on your earnings, so you should create your personal my Social Security account to verify that your earnings were reported correctly. If you want more information about the role of Social Security in women’s lives today, Social Security has a booklet that you may ﬁnd useful. It is called Social Security: What Every Woman Should Know. You can ﬁnd it online at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10127.html. Marcus Geiger is Social Security district manager in Gallipolis, Ohio.

To hook and land one of these big ﬁsh you want to take some pretty serious tackle with you. I don’t think that old rooster tail spinner you used for smallmouth bass last summer will get the job done. Muskie ﬁshermen prefer big baits for big ﬁsh and that 4-pound trout line won’t do either. Most muskie anglers are using heavy duty braided line and throwing baits that on most ordinary days would look like a nice-size catch. The old saying of, “go big or go home” deﬁnitely applies to muskie ﬁshing. This time of year, muskies are looking for a big meal to get them fattened up for the spawn, so throwing a 6-inch bait is a great place to start if you are trying to entice a big bite. So, when you catch a warm spring day in the weeks to come, grab your heaviest tackle, your biggest baits and go out and beat the water and see what comes to the top. Muskies are notorious for following their prospective dinner while deciding if they are going to swallow it or not, so be watchful for those teeth swimming in behind your bait and just keep casting. The odds are good that the ﬁsh of 10,000 casts might just take the bait well before cast No. 9,999. You just never know until you throw!

Gallia County Courthouse records place John Gee as being the owner of the property in question. History as told by local historian Dorothy Casey says that John Gee was a well-known African American philanthropist and prominent community member who overcame a variety of challenges in his time just across the river from what was then considered slave territory. Gee died in 1865. Gee was partly responsible for the construction of Gallipolis’ ﬁrst African American Methodist Episcopal Church along Pine Street. The church is now called the John Gee Black Historical Center. Allegedly, organizations and structures Gee was involved with may have helped slaves escape north on the Underground Railroad. According to the Gallia County Genealogical Society’s study of old census records, Gee was categorized as a “mulatto,” meaning that he had mixed African and European ancestry. According to collected writings of Gallipolis reporter Pinckney T. Wall, his series of notes from 1889 to 1909 listed John Gee as being a son of ninth U.S. President William Henry Harrison. Oral history among Gallia County African American residents also shares this claim.

The Point Pleasant softball team held the reigning Class AAA runner-up to just one hit over the ﬁnal ﬁve innings, but host South Charleston produced three scores in its opening at-bat and ultimately held on Thursday night during a 3-0 decision in the season opener for both programs in Kanawha County. The visiting Lady Knights (0-1) did not commit an error and surrendered only ﬁve hits in the contest, but four of those safeties came in the bottom of the ﬁrst inning — and the Black Eagles (1-0) made the most of that early opportunity. Kiersten Landers and Kelly Bare started the inning with back-to-back singles, then Landers — who stole both second and third base — scored on a two-out wild pitch for an early 1-0 edge. Bare scored moments later following an RBI single from Lindsey Burdette, then Burdette came homeward on a single by Kelly Knuckles for a 3-0 contest through one full frame. PPHS starter Karissa Cochran allowed only a secondinning single to Emily Givens the rest of the way, but the damage had already been done. The Lady Knights — who managed four hits in the setback — left runners stranded in scoring position during both the second and third innings, but the guests had a golden opportunity to get back into the game during the top of the sixth. Cochran and Kelsey Byus led that inning off with back-toback singles, but the runners were ultimately left stranded at second and third after three consecutive outs allowed SCHS to escape unscathed. Cammy Hesson reached on a two-out error in the top of the seventh, but she was eventually stranded as Makinley Higginbotham ﬂew out to center ﬁeld to wrap up the outcome. South Charleston committed both errors in the contest and left four runners on base, while the Red, Black and White stranded eight on the bags. Tanner King also reached on an error in the top of the second inning. Cochran allowed three earned runs, ﬁve hits and two walks over six innings while striking out two in the setback. Amanda McDonald was the winning pitcher after giving up four hits and two walks over seven frames while fanning seven. Higginbotham had a second inning triple for the Lady Knights, while Cochran, Byus and Megan Hammond also added a single apiece in the setback. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2101. Think about wildlife when planning and planting gardens Several weeks ago my wife and I were having one of our typical off-thewall discussions when she asked me what I would think about putting in an orchard at the farm. There had been an orchard there before, the small hill overlooking the farm is still known as “Orchard Hill” even though not a single apple tree remains. However, it is visible in the old aerial photos going back to 1939. Orchards in general were pretty common and liberally scattered about the county up through the 1950s, but most of those – with the exception of a few remnant apple trees – are long gone now. But back to the discussion about the orchard, my response was that could be okay, but before we plant the ﬁrst tree I want to put in an 8-foothigh woven wire fence to keep the deer out. Back when orchards were plentiful, deer were largely absent. The mostly self-sufﬁcient family farms back in the ﬁrst half of the 20th Century didn’t experience deer damage. However, when it comes to gardens and such today, a common expression is “Fence it or share it!” Installing the fence before planting the ﬁrst tree would be an example of planning. I that I can watch over my hypothetiknow that deer cal future apple pose a threat tree saplings 24 to young trees hours a day, seven through browsing days a week.

I don’t want to invest Since the deer aren’t hundreds or thousands going away anytime soon, of dollars and countless and since I don’t actually hours of time and energy want the deer to go away into planting a bunch of anytime soon, the only trees only to have them option I have is to come browsed and rubbed into up with a plan of action oblivion. beforehand. There is simply no way So before I would plant the ﬁrst tree, I would carefully consider how large I want my orchard to be, how much fencing it would require, how many fence posts, how much time and labor I would have invested in it, and how long it would take to get any return from my investment. It is the same for a garden. Consider all the time and effort you put into your garden—you probably check out the seed catalogs and decide what you want to plant and how much of each vegetable you want, you buy the seeds, and make sure your tiller is in good working order. All of that takes place before you even touch the soil, then you have to go through and actually work up your garden, forming the rows, putting up stakes and strings, planting seeds, weeding and cultivating, fertilizing – countless hours – just to have Bambi and friends come along and munch your plants. In many locations electric fencing can be effec- tive, and it only needs to be turned on during the times that deer are active, nighttime and twilight. If you consider it as an investment, realizing that a fence system can last for years, you will see that it is a wise investment. You can always use solar-powered or batterypowered fences in places without electricity. A little planning beforehand can save you a lot of frustration. So when it comes to gardens, remember to fence it or share it. For more information about fencing strategies and damage control for deer and other wildlife, contact me at the Meigs SWCD.

Fulfilling a promise to pay it forward Local doctor, wife commit to annual medical mission in native Philippines By Bud Hunt bhunt@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — What began as a trip home to celebrate anniversaries 31 years ago has turned into much more for Dr. Mel Simon and his wife, Lydia. In 1985, the Simons left Gallipolis to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary and the 50th wedding anniversary of Lydia’s parents in their native Philippines. As Lydia recalls, “We spent more time at the hospital than we did celebrating with family.” In a city of 70,000 people, there was no hospital — only a clinic and doctors. There were no urologists. A classmate, Dr. Arturo Rivera, asked Mel to “scrub up” and show local residents how to perform some of the procedures. That trip, the Simons ﬁrst visit home since leaving the Philippines in 1959, was the beginning of an annual medical mission trip that has grown and touched the lives of thousands. As a child, Mel recalled a time during World War II when a sibling contracted dysentery. Left untreated, the disease can be fatal, and in war-time conditions there were no doctors available to treat the youngster. As the disease progressed, Mel became the only family member to maintain a vigil with his sister. He was there when she passed and at that time Mel made a promise. “I told God that if he saw a way for me to become a doctor, I would always ﬁnd a way to give back to my community,” he said. The Simons have been giving back even as their “community” has expanded. The Simons returned in 1986 and have continued to do so every year since, and by 1988 they found a way to bring more resources to their native country. In 1972, Mel became one of the founders of the Society of Philippine Surgeons of America, an organization of which he was later president and remains actively involved with today. In September 2014, he represented SPSA by presenting keys to a new ambulance for which the society had spearheaded fundraising to OSPA Hospital in the Philippines. Mel contacted his fellow surgeons to enlist help for what was then known as Medical Mission to the Philippines. The medical contingent grew from six couples and six medical professionals in 1988 to today’s contingent that’s made up of 30 personnel, 10 doctors, and the rest consisting of other medical personnel and support team members. One of those team members is “Mission Mama,” a well-earned nickname Lydia has been given for how she works in support of the team’s efforts over the years. The team has included several local medical professionals, including nurses Claudia Lyon, Pam Dovyak, Tanya Cremeens, Remy Simon, Janet North and Lisa Cox. During its seven- to 10-day stay, the team will perform roughly 300 surgeries and procedures such cleft palate, some genetic deformities, thyroid, gall bladder, tumors, eye surgery and dental surgery among others. Mel also spends a portion of the trip providing medical education to local doctors and residents. Mel then turned to one of his other passions, Rotary International, to bring additional resources to delivering health care to his native country. Mel had been president of Gallipolis Rotary Club and in 1998-99 was district governor of Rotary International District 6690. Subsequently, the mission was renamed “Operation We Care” as Rotary Foundation resources were identiﬁed and added the effort. See PROMISE | 4C Over the years, Mel and Lydia Simon have been joined by friends and family in their efforts to provide and improve medical care in their native Philippines. In 2001, they were joined by Holzer nurses, from left, Tanya Cremeens, Pam Dovyak, Claudia Lyons and Janet North. Seated is Remy Simon, sister of Mel Simon. On the first medical mission to the Philippines, the Simons were joined by other couples, all of whom were welcomed by a prominent banner in town announcing their arrival. Left over from World War II, Jeeps have found many other uses in the Philippines. This is a Jeep that’s been extended and repurposed to serve as delivery truck taking supplies to local residents re-settled as a result of Mount Pinatubo erupting. Several nurses from Gallipolis were on this trip and walked along behind the truck as it labored up hills. Local nurses on the trip with Mel and Lydia Simon were Claudia Lyon, Pam Dovyak, Tanya Cremeens and Remy Simon. �LOCAL 2C Sunday, March 20, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Childhood obesity can be prevented Saunders is Pay It combat this issue by providMy name is Juli Simpson, ing a nutrition and indoor and I am a registered nurse gardening curriculum at the Meigs County Health named VeggieU, at no cost Department. to the schools.

They tasted like sugar,” “I want my mom to buy carrots and salad now” and “I like the mint. I can still taste it in my mouth.” Of course, not all students share the same excitement about trying the vegetables, but it’s still a fun activity for both the teachers and the students. In general, kids love to play in the dirt, so the seed planting activities and the worm farms are a real hit, too.

RV Phoenix Show Choir ‘Excellent’ Contributed Article BIDWELL — River Valley Phoenix Show Choir received an Excellent rating for their performance March 11 at OMEA Large Group Contest. Under the direction of Allyson Johnston and pianist Barb White, the group of 21 singers performed the selections “Wade in the Water,” “Set Me as a Seal,” and “Nelly Bly.” This is the ﬁrst time in history that Phoenix or any large choral group from River Valley has entered in the OMEA Large Group contest. “This group has certainly risen to the standards set by its name,” said Cynthia Graham in an email to the Tribune. “In the spring of 1993, the very ﬁrst River Valley show choir named itself ‘Phoenix’ because that mythological bird rose from the ashes. The students thought this would be an apt symbol for the group because all four schools that consolidated from the Gallia County Local School District rose from the ashes to become one. In true Phoenix tradition, this 2016 group accomplished what the original choir set as an expectation.” Group ‘explores’ Philly’s flowers Courtesy photo Judy Walters, executive director of Gallia County United Way, was recently honored at the annaul Red Cross Hometown Heroes Breakfast. Walters was named this year’s community hero for her work with the agencies of United Way, as well as other involvement in the community, such as the summer lunch program at her church, Elizabeth Chapel.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �4C Sunday, March 20, 2016 LOCAL Development Center participates in ‘Operation Feed’ Rocket VII blasts off Sunday Times-Sentinel Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in Ohio, and the Gallipolis Developmental Center is doing several small projects to help the residents celebrate such. One event will highlight not only Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, but will also help others in Gallia County. The Gallipolis Developmental Center is participating in a statewide program called Operation Feed. This program will help support food pantries in the area. Thousands of people in central and eastern Ohio are facing hunger. They are children, elderly people and families; they are neighbors, coworkers and friends. More and more people that never thought this could happen to them are struggling just to get by. When bills loom and impossible decisions must be made, food dollars are often the ﬁrst to be cut. Meals are skipped and parents go without to make sure a child is fed. During summer months, children lose access to school-sponsored breakfast and lunch programs, adding to already-stretched household budgets. Senior citizens on ﬁxed incomes are often at-risk. Low-income individuals face numerous challenges ﬁnding food that is healthy, nutritious and affordable. Operation Feed raises food and funds to help ensure that no one in the community has to face hunger. The kickoff event for Operation Feed is the ﬁfth annual 5K walk/run through the historic grounds of the Gallipolis Developmental Center which will be April 2. Awards for top overall male and female, as well as top three in each age group, will be given. There will be no duplication of awards. To enter the race, or obtain more information about the event, contact Mary Holley at (740) 339-5701 or at Gallipolis Developmental Center, 2500 Ohio Ave., Gallipolis. The entry fees are $25 for adult and 12 and under are $20. Only preregistration guarantees a t-shirt and the deadline to pre-register is March 25. Make checks payable to the Gallipolis Developmental Center, in care of Mary Holley. Monetary and/or food donations will also be accepted to combat hunger in the Gallia County area in honor of Ohio Operation Feed campaign. Donations and proceeds from race will go to local food pantries. For every $1 raised, three meals are donated to the local food pantries. Promise From Page 1C By combining Rotary Foundation resources, the Simons have been able to help fund and build a 30-bed hospital in Mangaldan, Pangasinan, and furnish a 100-bed surgical wing at Region One Medical Center in Dagupan, Pangasinan. Rotary has also been an important partner in acquiring and furnishing a mobile medical clinic complete with an x-ray machine. Mel and Lydia, both Rotarians, have become ambassadors of the local club and district to Rotarians in the Philippines. Each year they visit local Rotary clubs, exchange banners (each Rotary club has its own banner with its name and club number emblazoned on it). As might be expected, Mel found a way for those local clubs to help in his mission trips as well, doing such things as helping with Photo courtesy of Jennifer Walker Rocket VII Interactive conducted its ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday with the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce.

Mel and Lydia partnered with a Canadian mission trip this year instead of organizing their own and it proved to be a reunion of sorts. One of the Canadian members was on a mission trip with the Simons in 1992. That’s not uncommon as Mel recalled another time when attending a concert this year he saw a man across the crowd he recognized, but couldn’t quite place. “I went up to him and said, ‘I know you,’” Mel said. As it turns out the fellow was Mel Santos, a fellow doctor who had been on a mission trip with the Simons in 2010. This year’s trip was unique and not necessarily pleasantly unique. Mel contracted pneumonia on this trip. He became quite ill to the point that Lydia said she was “scared.” Mel ended up in the hospital, was treated and after a brief stay was released, but only after a promise to his Filipino doctor to take care of himself. Mel explained that he was the only urologist on the trip and procedures requiring his skill could not be performed by other doctors. He felt a need to be up and working. That desire to be doing something to help others and improve their lot in life, and the promise made to God as a youth, keep Mel going. In 1959, Mel headed to Chicago to continue his studies and work at Cook County Hospital, now John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Lydia went to Rochester, Minn., to continue her nursing studies at Mayo Clinic. “I was making $50 a month and it was all going to pay phone bills,” Mel said. “Lydia said, ‘It would be cheaper if we got married,’ so that’s what we did.” Things got a little better for the Simons. Mel, now a resident, got a pay raise to $100 and with Lydia’s Upcoming specials Market 5-30$ higher Special cow sale, April 15, 6 p.m. 77 head already consigned Direct sales or free on-farm visits.

It was in Wisconsin that Mel met Dr. Charles Holzer, namesake of the health care system in Gallia and surrounding counties. Mel said Dr. Holzer kept after him to establish his practice in southern Ohio, but it took a little convincing. “I couldn’t ﬁnd it on the map,” Mel said. “I told him, ‘I see South Point, but where’s your city again?’” The couple laughs now as they recall how things really got confusing when Lydia began telling family and friends they were moving to a city on the Potomac River. By 1966, Dr. Holzer had been persuasive enough to convince the Simons that Gallipolis was where they needed to be. Another community for them to adopt and fulﬁll the promise. They became involved in, and remain part of, numerous civic activities, the arts community and their church. Nothing, however, comes closer to fulﬁlling the promise than the establishment of the French 500 Free Clinic, established in 2009. The clinic has seen several thousand uninsured patients since then and remains open. It will begin seeing patients again next month. In addition to being recognized in the Philippines by having a surgical ward named after him, Mel has been recognized here as well. He was inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame, presented with the Knights of Columbus Humanitarian Award, and one Mel said he prizes most dearly from the state of Ohio signed then-state Rep. Clyde Evans and then-state Sen. John Carey. Not known to rest on their laurels, though, the Simons said planning for next year’s mission trip is already under way.
