Daily Sentinel TOPS works toward weight goals TUPPERS PLAINS — TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) OH#2013 Tuppers Plains met for their weekly meeting at the St Paul’s United Methodist Church. Judy Morgan, leader, called the meeting to order by calling for the TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) and KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) pledges. Then members recited the Pledge to the American ﬂag. Cindy Hyde led the group in two songs: “Diet Diet ” and “Lose Lose Lose”. Weight recorder protem, Judy Morgan reported that 10 members weighed in. The weekly best loser was Kathy McDaniel. It was a “no gain” meeting per weight recorders records for the evening. Cindy Hyde, secretary protem, gave the Secretary’s report with no corrections nor additions. The Treasurer’s report was given by Mary Bush. Leader, Judy Morgan presented perfect attendance awards for November and December. Those getting certiﬁcates and charms for perfect attendance in November were Nola Easterly, May Frost and Pat Snedden. Receiving the awards for December were May Frost, Pat Snedden and Judy Morgan. Judy revealed the minutes of exercise that the members recorded for the “100 million minutes” exercise challenge. This is an international challenge presented by the TOPS President Rick Danforth to get members exercising more. This chapter exercised 76,746 minutes. Those minutes were calculated into 1,279 hours. Judy reminded members that there will be a “Purse Auction” as a fundraiser on Feb. 17 with alternate weather date Feb 24. Sue Maison read the rules for the new contest, “Feed the Bank”. The contest will run for 6 weeks. Members will be given points for being weekly best loser, wt loss/ stay in leeway, keeping a food chart and drinking 48-64 ounces of water per day. Prizes will be awarded for ﬁrst, second and third places. In new business it was announced that SRD (State Recognition Day) will be May 2. Members were asked to think about naming a mascot for the Chapter. Leader, Judy Morgan presented a program entitled, “Starting Afresh”. She said that your body is like your home except you cannot move away but you can repair, remodel and maintain. The resources needed for this are time and energy. She said that there are six steps to a slimmer you: Take your body measurements, get a smart, reasonable goal, remove unhealthy foods from your house, make a plan by shopping for foods that are healthy and start moving in some method of exercise. It is also helpful if you keep a food log of foods eaten on a daily basis. Studies have shown that people who keep food logs lose twice as much weight as those who do not keep the logs. Be SMART when setting a goal: meaning that S= speciﬁc M= measurable A= attainable R= realistic and T = Timely. Members were asked to make their own goals and be prepared to share them with the group next week. Judy ended the lecture with asking members what they lack in reaching their goals. Three of the biggest excuses are exercise, motivation and nutrition. What is yours? Members played veggie bingo. Judy then had members draw for partners to encourage for the next few weeks. Each member drew a name. The group dismissed by repeating the Helping Hand Circle poem. TOPS information can be obtained from the TOPS website at TOPS. org, by calling Leader, Judy Morgan at 740-6676641 or by contacting any TOPS member. Weekly meetings take place on Mondays at 6pm at the Tuppers Plains United Methodist Church, 42216 OH St RT 7, in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. Submitted by Kathy McDaniel.

Vegetable plants can be either “heirloom” or “hybrid”, “GMO” or “Non-GMO”. Many people feel strongly about this. But what exactly is an heirloom vegetable, and why is it more desirable than a “hybrid” plant? What about GMO’s? Are they dangerous? Plant hybridizing is the process of inventing new plants by combining the best qualities of other plants. Hybridization has been going on for centuries, and it’s a major reason the earth can support increasing numbers of people. New varieties can also occur naturally by cross-pollination. “Sports” (non-matching branches or fruits) sometimes appear on plants by genetic mutation, creating entirely new varieties “naturally”. Breeders cross-pollinate under controlled conditions, or reproduce young plants from sports, to get predictable offspring. The process is a lot like raising pedigreed animals. Hybridizers patent their varieties for a certain period of years from when the plant is introduced, charging “royalties” to pay for their work. They constantly introduce and promote new varieties in order to increase their roySteve alty income. Boehme Seeds from some hybrid plants proContributing duce plants that are different from the columnist parent. Our deﬁnition of an heirloom plant is one that is no longer patented, with seed that will produce the identical plant if you save it from year to year. Some heirloom plants are patented hybrids whose patent has expired, which reliably produce seedlings identical to the parent. The important thing is that you can save the seed and get the same plant from it. Does your survival really depend on saving your vegetable seeds to plant next year? Some people believe that’s a realistic possibility, so saving heirloom seeds is a key to preparing for a world food crisis. For others, simply preserving the diversity of interesting and unusual plant varieties is an important priority. There are good and not-so-good heirlooms. Heirloom varieties can taste better or different, but heirloom plants generally yield about half as much fruit with the same amount of fertilizer, water, and space. One reason to grow them is that the more diverse our selection of food plants, the less risk from new pathogens wiping out an entire crop. The argument for patented hybrids is that breeders may have improved the disease resistance, yield, taste, attractiveness of the fruit, growth habit, drought tolerance and other traits. There are hybrids that are terriﬁc for home gardens, and some that are better for commercial growers and shippers; you just have to learn which are which. GMOs, or “genetically modiﬁed organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants. These combinations of genes cannot occur in nature or with traditional breeding methods. Most GMO food crops are engineered so that weed killers won’t kill them, or have ingredients that will poison speciﬁc insects. This makes these crops much cheaper to grow commercially. The main consumer beneﬁt of GMO’s is to reduce food prices by making farming more efﬁcient. Experts disagree about GMO safety. Many countries have restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. Increasingly, Americans are taking a cautious approach and seeking out non-GMO seeds, plants and foods. Most plants and seeds for home gardens are not GMO’s. In any case, home gardening with your choice of GMO or non-GMO seeds gives you control over the safety of your family’s food supply.

THEIR VIEW A tribute to a very special woman All of us have come in contact with certain individuals, and, if we are lucky, many individuals, who have enriched our lives simply by being in their presence. After all, none of us have enjoyed whatever successes we have achieved without help from others. I have been blessed to ﬁt into the “many individuals” category. Beginning with my parents, who were the best mentors and role models a child could possibly hope for, I have had the good fortune to be surrounded by many people throughout my entire life who were strong leaders and who were interested in helping those around them become better people. What a great gift that is! Outside of my family, the most impactful people in my life have worked primarily in the ﬁeld of education. Sadly, one of those people recently passed away at the age of 93. When I ﬁrst arrived at Troy Junior High School as a special education teacher in 1977, Mrs. Banna Smith was the principal. Banna, or as we all reverently called her back then, Mrs. Smith, has the distinction of being the ﬁrst woman to serve as a commanded principal at the respect.

A few years ago, as I began watching people who had meant so much to me pass away, I endeavored to try to let people like that know how much I appreciate what they have done for me before they leave this world. Not long ago, I sent Banna a card expressing my respect and gratitude for all she had done for me. Fortunately, just a few months later, our paths crossed at a local restaurant, where we embraced and reminisced about “the good old days.” She also told me how much she appreciated my columns on education while encouraging me to “keep up the good ﬁght.” After a few minutes, as I turned to leave, she gave me a peck on the cheek and told me she loved me. That was the last time I saw her, and I am so thankful it will be my lasting memory of her. Some people make you a better person from simply being around them. Banna Smith was one of those people. I will miss, but never forget her. Tom Dunn is the former superintendent of the Miami County (Ohio) Educational Service Center. This column shared through the AIM Media Midwest group of newspapers. TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Thursday, Jan. 16, the 16th day of 2020. There are 350 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 16, 1991, the White House announced the start of Operation Desert Storm to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. (Allied forces prevailed on Feb. 28, 1991.) On this date: In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia (popularly known as “Ivan the Terrible”) was crowned Czar. In 1865, Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman decreed that 400,000 acres of land in the South would be divided into 40-acre lots and given to former slaves. (The order, later revoked by President Andrew Johnson, is believed to have inspired the expression, “Forty acres and a mule.”) In 1912, a day before reaching the South Pole, British explorer Robert Scott and his expedition found evidence that Roald Amundsen of Norway and his team had gotten there ahead of them. In 1920, Prohibition began in the United Thought for Today: “I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them.” — E.V. Lucas, English writer and publisher (1868-1938). States as the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took effect, one year to the day after its ratiﬁcation. (It was later repealed by the 21st Amendment.) In 1969, two manned Soviet Soyuz spaceships became the ﬁrst vehicles to dock in space and transfer personnel. In 1978, NASA named 35 candidates to ﬂy on the space shuttle, includ- ing Sally K. Ride, who became America’s ﬁrst woman in space, and Guion S. Bluford Jr., who became America’s ﬁrst black astronaut in space. In 1987, Hu Yaobang resigned as head of China’s Communist Party, declaring he’d made mistakes in dealing with student turmoil and intellectual challenges to the system. In 1989, three days of rioting began in Miami when a police ofﬁcer fatally shot Clement Lloyd, a black motorcyclist, causing a crash that also claimed the life of Lloyd’s passenger, Allan Blanchard. (The ofﬁcer, William Lozano, was convicted of manslaughter, but then was acquitted in a retrial.) In 1992, ofﬁcials of the government of El Salvador and rebel leaders signed a pact in Mexico City ending 12 years of civil war that had left at least 75,000 people dead. In 2003, the space shuttle Columbia blasted off for what turned out to be its last ﬂight; on board was Israel’s ﬁrst astronaut, Ilan Ramon (ee-LAHN’ rah-MOHN’). (The mission ended in tragedy on Feb. 1, when the shuttle broke up during its return descent, killing all seven crew members.) In 2004, pop star Michael Jackson pleaded not guilty to child molestation charges during a court appearance in Santa Maria, Calif.; the judge scolded Jackson for being 21 minutes late. (Jackson was eventually acquitted.) In 2007, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., launched his successful bid for the White House. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Thursday, January 16, 2020 5A Union appeals firing of officer CLEVELAND (AP) — A union representing the white Cleveland police ofﬁcer who shot and killed Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black child playing with a pellet gun outside a recreation center, will ask an Ohio appeals court to overturn the ofﬁcer’s ﬁring. Timothy Loehmann and his training ofﬁcer were cleared of criminal wrongdoing in the death of Tamir in November 2014. But Loehmann was ﬁred in May 2017 from the Cleveland Police Department after it was discovered he did not disclose on his job application that he had previously been dismissed from a suburban police department. Last month, a Cuyahoga County judge upheld an arbitrator’s decision that Loehmann should have been ﬁred for failing to disclose that information. The Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association has argued that Cleveland violated Loehmann’s due-process rights because the city waited so long to begin the disciplinary process against him. “We think our appeal has merit and look forward to having a review by the Court of Appeals,” union attorney Henry Hilow told cleveland.com. Loehmann shot Tamir within seconds of a cruiser driven by Patrolman Frank Garmback skidding to a stop near the boy. The shooting was recorded in a grainy surveillance video that drew international attention and led to Tamir becoming a symbol for the Black Lives Matter protest movement over police treatment of blacks and minorities.

Saturday, Jan. 18 Manuel Balce Ceneta | AP House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving and Clerk of the House Cheryl Johnson carry the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to Secretary of the Senate Julie Adams on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday. Following are impeachment managers, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. Impeachment articles taken to Senate By Lisa Mascaro Associated Press WASHINGTON — In a dramatic procession across the U.S. Capitol, House Democrats carried the formal articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate late Wednesday, setting the stage for only the third trial to remove a president in American history. Trump complained anew it was all a “hoax,” even as fresh details emerged about his efforts in Ukraine. The ceremonial pomp and protocol by the lawmakers prosecuting the case against Trump moved the impeachment out of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic-run House to the Republicanmajority Senate, where the president’s team is mounting a defense aiming for swift acquittal. “Today we will make history,’’ Pelosi said as she signed the documents, using multiple pens to hand out and mark the moment. “This president will be held accountable.” Moments later the prosecutors walked solemnly through the stately hall, ﬁling into the Senate back row as the Clerk of the House announced the arrival: “The House has passed House Resolution 798, a resolution appointing and authorizing managers of the impeachment trail of Donald John Trump, President of United States.” The Senate will transform itself into an impeachment court at noon Thursday. The Constitution calls for Chief Justice John Roberts to preside at the trial, administering the oath to senators who will serve as jurors and swear to deliver “impartial justice.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged to have the Senate “rise above the petty factionalism” and “factional fervor and serve the long-term, best interests of our nation.’’ He called it “a difﬁcult time for our country.” Technically, the House was simply notifying the Senate of its delivery of the articles, with a more formal presentation Thursday. Opening arguments are to begin next Tuesday after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Earlier Wednesday, the House voted 228-193, almost entirely along party lines to deliver the charges. The split reﬂected the deeply divided nation at the start of this presidential election year. It came one month after the House impeached Trump alleging he abused his presidential power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden, using military aid to the country as leverage. Trump was also charged with obstructing Congress’ ensuing probe. Earth had hottest decade on record in 2010s By Seth Borenstein AP Science Writer WASHINGTON — The decade that just ended was by far the hottest ever measured on Earth, capped off by the second-warmest year on record, two U.S. agencies reported Wednesday. And scientists said they see no end to the way man-made climate change keeps shattering records. “If you think you’ve heard this story before, you haven’t seen anything yet,” Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said at the close of a decade plagued by raging wildﬁres, melting ice and extreme weather that researchers have repeatedly tied to human activity. Schmidt said Earth as a whole is probably the hottest it has been during the Holocene — the past 11,500 years or so — meaning this could be the warmest period since Global annual temperatures NOAA data of average temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit 1880 to 2019 60° Fahrenheit 2019: 58.71° 59° 58° 56.73° 57.02° 57.41° 57° 56° 55° 54° 1889 ’99 1909 ’19 ’29 ’39 ’49 ’59 ’69 ’79 ’89 ’99 2009 ’19 Source: NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information the dawn of civilization. But scientists’ estimates of ancient global temperatures, based on tree rings, ice cores and other telltale signs, are not precise enough to say that with certainty. The 2010s averaged 58.4 degrees Fahrenheit (14.7 degrees Celsius) worldwide, or 1.4 degrees (0.8 C) higher than the 20th century average and more than one-third of a degree (one-ﬁfth of a degree C) warmer than the previous decade, which had been the hottest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The decade had eight of the 10 hottest years on record. The only other years in the top 10 were 2005 and 1998. NASA and NOAA also calculated that 2019 was the second-hottest year in the 140 years of record-keeping. Five other global teams of monitoring scientists agreed, based on temperature readings taken on Earth’s surface, while various satellite-based measurements said it was anywhere from the hottest year on record to the third-hottest. Several scientists said the coming years will be even hotter, knocking these years out of the record books. “This is going to be part of what we see every year until we stabilize greenhouse gases” from the burning of coal, oil and gas, Schmidt said. “It’s sobering to think that we might be breaking global temperature records in quick succession,” said Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb. “2020 is off to a horrifying climate start, and I fear what the rest of the year will bring to our doorsteps.” NASA’s Schmidt said that overall, Earth is now about 1.2 degrees C (nearly 2.2 F) hotter since the beginning of the industrial age, a number that is important because in 2015 global leaders adopted a goal of preventing 1.5 C (2.7 F) of warming since the rise of big industry in the mid- to late 1800s.

IN BRIEF Medicaid errors detailed COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s Medicaid system suffers from high payment error rates and problems determining eligibility, among many issues the state Medicaid director blamed on the administration of former Gov. John Kasich. Other problems identiﬁed by Medicaid Director Maureen Corcoran include incorrect renewal dates, privacy breaches such as people receiving information about others, and incorrectly linking newborns to people who weren’t are their actual parents. In one case, a baby was linked to an 11-year-old child. Corcoran said in a memo to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine this week she inherited “a mess” from the previous administration, and failure to ﬁx problems could cost Ohio billions in federal penalties. The joint state and federal program provides health care for poor families and children. Among ﬁndings from an audit by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services were a payment error rate of 50% and a 43% error rate for determining Medicaid eligibility. A spokesman for Kasich said the former Republican governor inherited a troubled program that he improved and expanded to cover thousands more Ohioans. “The state’s leadership now has the opportunity to build on eight years of progress,” Kasich spokesman Jim Lynch said. �S ports 6A Thursday, January 16, 2020 Daily Sentinel Marauders fall at Fort Frye, 67-54 Weston Baer now Meigs boys’ all-time leading scorer By Alex Hawley Baer — who needed four points to surpass Trevor Harrison at 1,258 points headed BEVERLY, Ohio — The road into the game — started the Marauders (5-8) off with a trip didn’t result in a win, but trifecta to tie the record.

The Wahama boys basketball team reached the midway point of its league slate on Tuesday in Perry County, falling by a 62-43 count to host Miller, which is also exiting the TVC Hocking after the season. Wahama (0-10, 0-8 TVC Hocking) trailed 9-4 eight minutes into play, and the host Falcons (2-10, 1-7) — who had lost 15 consecutive league games — stretched their lead to 31-16 by halftime. A 21-to-14 third quarter gave Miller a 52-30 lead headed into the ﬁnale, in which the Red and White went on a 13-to-10 run. In the 62-43 setback, the White Falcons hit 10-of-13 (76.9 percent) free throws and made ﬁve of their 14 ﬁeld goals from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, MHS hit just 10-of-32 (31.3 percent) foul shots, but made six of their 23 ﬁeld goals from deep. Brennan Grate led the White Falcons with 10 points, including a team-best two three-pointers. Abram Pauley and Ethyn Barnitz were next with nine points apiece, followed by Josiah Lloyd with ﬁve, and Harrison Panko-Shields with four. Brayden Davenport and Michael VanMatre rounded out the WHS total with three points apiece. Miller was led by Colby Bartley with 17 points, Kylan McClain with 14, and Blayton Cox with 13. Steven Willison contributed seven points to the winning cause, Tre McCoy added ﬁve, while Drew Starlin had four and Sam Rutter chipped in with two.

Southern scored seven of the next eight points, however, and led 49-40 with 51 seconds left. SHS came up empty on three trips to the line in the ﬁnal 50 seconds, but Eastern only managed a pair of buckets and fell by a 49-44 victory. Following his team’s second straight triumph, 12th-year SHS head coach Jeff Caldwell was pleased with his team for winning a rivalry game on the road, and for taking care of the basketball, committing just 11 turnovers. “That is a good, quality road win right there, I’m really proud of the guys for their effort, because it was a tough one,” Caldwell said. “It took a lot to tough it out, we knew Eastern was going to play us all the way to the buzzer. It was a battle, it wasn’t easy that’s for sure. “We’ve been harping on it a little bit, those possessions in the ﬁrst half are just as important as those possessions late in the game. You have to get good shots and take care of the ball, and I thought we did that for the most part tonight.” For Eastern, secondyear head coach David Kight noted his team’s 14 turnovers were costly in a game where possession is so highly valued, and acknowledged that the Eagle defense couldn’t make stops when it needed to. “We didn’t turn it over as much as we have been, we did a little bit better job taking care of the ball, but it when you’re playing a game in the 40s, every possession counts,” Kight said. “That’s 14 times we couldn’t get a shot in the air. We got really good looks, we just couldn’t knock them down. We made a decent little run there in the fourth, we cut it to three, but anytime we cut it to 3-or-4, we couldn’t get that one stop on the other end of the ﬂoor to get possession back with a chance to tie it up. “We can’t pout, we can’t hold our head down and feel sorry for ourselves, because Trimble’s not going to feel sorry for us and they’re going to be here at 6:00 on Friday night, looking for a win.” Eastern won the rebounding battle by a 30-to-26 clip, including 11-to-9 on the offensive end.

Debbi Pratt and Betsy Jones decided to attend the open house about four years ago out of curiosity to see the museum and learn more about MCHS activities. During their tour these two teachers learned the museum was starting a children’s program and decided it was something they were interested in being a part of. “So we went from visitors to volunteers,” Pratt said. “We became members that same day, and now are coordinating the Children’s Program. Who knew that day where this would lead …” Pratt has been a teacher with the Easter Local School District for 37 years and is currently teaching third grade. “I love teaching little children, which is why I became a teacher,” Pratt said. “There are people for every job. I am glad there are people who want to be doctors and lawyers and police officers, I just always wanted to be a teacher.” Jones is a retired first and third grade teacher, and Pratt noted that she considers her right hand, “We do all of the planning and organizing together, and are usually both there during craft times.

It is also a good introduction to the museum. The children’s area is designed to allow multiple ages to be together but able to do different things in the same space and includes Legos, Tinker Toys, coloring and drawing materials, and a train. “Some of the children are too young for crafts, so our children’s corner gives them something to do while the older children are working on their projects, or while their parents or grandparents are visiting the Museum,” Pratt said. “We wanted the space to be child friendly, a place where children of all ages can enjoy.” Having a shared space also makes it more convenient for those bringing children of different ages.

Treating gallbladder disease Submitted POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Have you ever experienced a steady, sometimes severe pain in your abdomen, perhaps with bloating, nausea or vomiting? If you have these symptoms, you need for your doctor to determine if you have gallbladder disease. Here’s Jonathan Sedeyn, DO, PhD, general surgeon with Pleasant Valley Hospital, to tell us more. “If you are experiencing gallstone “If you are experiencing symptoms, it’s best gallstone symptoms, it’s to see a surgeon best to see a surgeon as as soon as possoon as possible.” sible,” suggests Dr. Sedeyn. “Even — Dr. Jonathan Sedeyn if there is no need for surgery in the beginning, it is beneﬁcial to get established with a surgeon should future attacks occur. Establishing the physician-patient relationship would allow us to get right to the heart of the matter helping you, the patient, feel better.” Who develops gallbladder problems? People who seem more likely to have gallbladder attacks include: �Mec[d"�e\j[d�_d�j^[_h�*&i1 �Mec[d�m^e�Wh[�eh�^Wl[�h[Y[djbo�X[[d�fh[]dWdj1 �C[d�WdZ�mec[d�m^e�Wh[�el[hm[_]^j1 �F[efb[�m^e�^Wl[�h[Y[djbo�beij�i_]d_ÒYWdj�m[_]^j1 �F[efb[�m^e�[Wj�bWh][�Wcekdji�e\�ZW_ho�fheZkYji"� animal fats and fried foods; �FWh[dji"�i_Xb_d]i�WdZ�Y^_bZh[d�e\�f[efb[�m_j^� gallbladder problems. How will my doctor know if I have gallbladder disease? Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, health problems and any risk factors that may point to a gallbladder problem and conduct a physical exam. Your doctor will likely order a few blood tests, and a sonogram of your gallbladder to look for gallstones. What are the treatment options? The most common treatment is removal of the gallbladder through tiny incisions around the abdomen. Additionally, your doctor may recommend a low fat diet for symptom resolution. How successful is gallbladder surgery? Gallbladder removal is one of the most successful kinds of surgery. Once it has been removed, your body should adapt quickly, allowing you to return to your normal lifestyle and diet in a few weeks. For more information about gallbladder disease, please contact Dr. Sedeyn at 304-675-1666. Information submitted by PVH. Your life can change in a heartbeat.

With osteoarthritis, the rubbery material called cartilage that provides a smooth gliding surface between bones breaks down. The resulting inﬂammation of the joints causes pain, stiffness, swelling and lack of mobility. This degenerative joint disease affects approximately 27 million Americans. Unfortunately, half of all Americans believe that nothing can be done to treat arthritis. True, there is currently no cure for arthritis. But there are many treatments available, such as physical therapy and medications, which can relieve the symptoms. Eventually, arthritis can wear down a joint to the point where the pain is constant. If you ﬁnd yourself not using the joint because of the pain it produces, you should consider joint replacement surgery.

Appreciating one’s sense of sight involves scheduling routine eye exams and taking steps to protect one’s eyes. But safeguarding vision also involves understanding the various conditions that can affect eye health. Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders that can lead to progressive damage to the optic nerve. People who experience glaucoma can lose nerve tissue and eventually suffer vision loss. Understanding what contributes to glaucoma can help people take the steps necessary to reduce their risk. The American Optometric Association says that glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness for people over the age of 60 — although it can occur at any age. The Mayo Clinic states that many forms of glaucoma produce no warning signs and changes in vision may occur so gradually they are not detected until the condition has reached an advanced stage. There are various types of glaucoma. However, primary openangle glaucoma is the most common form, affecting about three million Americans, indicates the Glaucoma Research Foundation. Primary open-angle glaucoma occurs when the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time and ﬂuid cannot drain out of the eye. As a result, intraocular pressure rises and damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting signals from the eye to the brain. People with a family history of glaucoma, African Americans over age 40 and Hispanics over the age of 60 have an increased risk, says the AOA. Those with thin corneas, which is the outer layer of the eye, also are at an elevated risk of developing glaucoma. A less common type of glaucoma is called acute-closure glaucoma, which occurs due to an abrupt Going once, going twice… and rapid increase of eye pressure. This is an emergency situation that requires prompt care to prevent vision loss. An eye doctor will conduct various tests to determine if a patient is at risk for glaucoma. The Mayo Clinic says tonometry is commonly used to measures intraocular pressure. During this test, the eye surface will be anesthetized with special drops. A tonometer will be applied lightly to the cornea, indenting it slightly. The resistance will be measured and calculated to determine if pressure is present. The effects of glaucoma cannot be reversed, but glaucoma can be caught early. Medications and lifestyle changes, like more frequent eye exams, can improve symptoms. Prescription eye drops can reduce the production of aqueous humor (ﬂuid) in the eye and improve outﬂow of that ﬂuid. Oral medications and surgery are other options as well.

Christa Grady, DPT, physical therapist with special interest in pelvic ﬂoor rehabilitation Going once? Going twice? Going to the bathroom way too often or having a hard time controlling your bladder? You may have a condition called urinary incontinence. And you’re not alone. More than 50 percent of American seniors have struggled with urinary incontinence and pelvic ﬂoor rehabilitaGrady tion. Pleasant Valley Hospital Physical Therapist Christa Grady, DPT, is here to talk with us about urinary incontinence. The two most common types of loss of bladder control are: �Stress incontinence—A small amount of urine leaks out when you exercise or when you cough, sneeze, laugh or lift something heavy. �Urge incontinence—you have an intense urge to urinate that occurs so suddenly, you don’t have time to get to the toilet. With urge incontinence, you may also need to urinate often, including when you sleep. The ﬁrst step in treating incontinence is to see your doctor. Blood and urine tests as well as a test to measure how well you empty your bladder may be performed. In men, an enlarged prostate gland may be the cause of the problem. The treatment for urinary incontinence is often very effective. Pelvic muscle exercises can strengthen the muscles that control urine ﬂow. Pleasant Valley Hospital Therapy Services offers pelvic ﬂoor rehabilitation. The program includes treatment for men and women that may suffer with these issues, causing urinary incontinence, urgency, frequency of urination, and/or pain in the pelvic region. Pelvic ﬂoor rehabilitation is more than solving your immediate problems; its is about restoring your entire body’s health and wellness. When working with our specially trained physical therapist, pelvic ﬂoor rehabilitation can give you a path to restoring your muscle’s ability to stabilize and support your body. Other lifestyle changes such as losing weight, quitting smoking and drinking less caffeine can help. If these treatments don’t work, other options are available, including medications and minimally invasive surgery. Don’t let embarrassment about urinary incontinence stop you from seeking help. Contact your doctor today. For more information about pelvic ﬂoor rehabilitation, please contact Christa Grady with Pleasant Valley Hospital Therapy Services at 304-675-8639.

That warning led hundreds of students to miss classes, authorities said. Russell Miley-Cruz, 22, of Scranton, was sentenced Tuesday in Youngstown and will receive credit for the 11 months he has been conﬁned since his arrest, his attorney said Wednesday. Miley-Cruz pleaded guilty in September to transmission of a threat in interstate commerce and obstruction of justice. Miley-Cruz contacted a Parma High School student on Snapchat in April 2018 warning of an impending school shooting, prosecutors said. The obstruction charge stems from Miley-Cruz providing investigators with a false phone number and denying that his Snapchat user name was “djravetastic.” The student who received the message shared it with friends who then passed it on to others. Around 1,200 students stayed home the following day with only 340 attending classes, prosecutors said. Defense attorney Dave Betras said Miley-Cruz has struggled with mental illness his entire life and called his client “extremely naive.” “He didn’t appreciate how wrong his actions were at the time,” Betras said. pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and other charges, could be sentenced to the death penalty if convicted. Neither Ford’s attorneys nor prosecutors are allowed to comment on the case due to a gag order by the judge. Ford is accused of killing two adults in one home in 2016 and two adults and ﬁve children in another home in 2017. Investigators have said Ford targeted the homes because he was angry with the occupants. Ford’s attorneys have argued that Ford has vascular dementia and brain damage, and should not be subject to the death penalty. But a court-ordered mental evaluation found that he understands the charges against him and can assist in his own defense. Ford refused to participate in a second evaluation of his mental state that was sought by his attorneys. A hearing is scheduled Friday on whether the possibility of the death penalty should be dropped from his case. Man sentenced to 10 years in 3 bank robberies in Ohio LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man pleaded guilty to charges in three bank robberies in the state between 2016 and last year and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Mark Lunsford, 59, of Hamilton, was sentenced Monday in Warren County Common Pleas Court on three felony robbery charges. The judge also ordered him to pay back nearly $14,000 that authorities said was stolen in the robberies. Lunsford used the same method each time in robbing the Peoples Bank locations in Franklin, Springboro and Carlisle, according to prosecutors. He would walk into the bank and present a note to a teller that said no one would be hurt if they turned over the money, authorities said.

Prosecutors said Thomas Close, 39, of Shelby in north-central Ohio’s Richland County, recorded boys from 2011 until 2018 and shared the videos online. Close pleaded guilty in September to two counts of sexual exploitation of children, and one count of receiving and distributing depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. A message seeking comment was left Wednesday with Close’s federal public defender. The investigation that led to Close began in 2018 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was able to identify lockers seen in previous child pornography investigations to a speciﬁc manufacturer that said only a few YMCAs had purchased such lockers, including one in Sandusky, Ohio. Authorities then tried to identify boys who had been recorded by tracing landmarks and Boy Scout logos seen in the videos before speaking with Boy Scout and YMCA ofﬁcials. Investigators learned from those interviews about an incident report regarding Close’s frequent and unnecessary contact with boys during swim time, prosecutors said. Using that information and a tip, investigators interviewed Close, who said he secretly recorded boys by a leaving a spy watch with video capabilities in changing areas, prosecutors said.
