Parents encouraged to obtain state IDs for kids Staff Report OHIO VALLEY – National Missing Children’s Day was May 25, and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles wants to remind parents of the tools available to assist in a quick recovery should a child be reported missing or abducted. When a child is reported missing, the first few minutes and hours are crucial. Parents must have accurate and current information about the child, including photographs. The BMV can issue state identification cards, which include a digital photograph, to children of any age. The photographs and information can be quickly accessed by law enforcement if a child is reported missing or abducted. When a state ID is issued, the photos become part of a statewide operator’s license/identification database and can be readily accessed by law enforcement officials through the Ohio Attorney General’s secure wbesite, the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway. “Having an identifi- BACKGROUND INFORMATION National Missing Children’s Day was first observed in 1983, following a proclamation by President Ronald Reagan.

Memorial Day tributes planned in Meigs By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY — Memorial Day is set aside to honor the more than 1.8 million soldiers who have died in service to the United States since 1775. Originally called Decoration Day, the service came about as a result of the Civil War and a desire to honor those fallen soldiers. The date of Decoration Day was chosen because it was not the anniversary of any particular battle. Gen. John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, proclaimed in his General Order No. 11, “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” Locally, several trib- utes are planned in Meigs County on Memorial Day. American Legion Post 39 in Pomeroy announced their plans for Memorial Day services; tributes begin at 9:30 a.m. at Rockspring Cemetery. The post then travels to Beech Grove Cemetery at 10 a.m.; Sacred Heart Cemetery, 10:30 a.m.; and the Bridge of Honor (Pomeroy-Mason Bridge), at 11 a.m. Post 39 will gather at noon on the Pomeroy Levee for a memorial service with guest speaker Commander Dale Thoene from Meigs Chapter 53 Disabled American Veterans. Thoene is a native of Bow Valley, Neb., who moved to Meigs County in 1979 after serving in the U.S. Air Force. Also part of the program is Pastor Dennis Moore of Common Ground Mission Church, Gladys Cummings who will be speaking on “Poppy Fields,” and the Southern High School Marching Band.

John grew up at the upper end of Pearl Street near Button Hole Park, and his wife, Marilyn, lived at the bottom end of Pearl Street at the Ohio River. They were married in November 1950 during the “Big Blizzard” and they lived 59 happy years in the home they purchased midway on Pearl Street. John continued to live there until he passed on this week. Shortly after marriage, John was sent to serve as a private in the Korean War, for which he received a Purple Heart.

Some of the changes the state has made still are being put in place. They include prohibiting farmers in northwestern Ohio from spreading manure on frozen and rain-soaked fields and requiring training before they can use commercial fertilizers. Other aspects of the plan include continuing to make improvements at waste water treatment plants, fixing leaking septic systems and restoring wetlands. Chris Weaver, a dairy farmer from Montpelier, said there needs to be a comprehensive effort that looks at all contributors to the problem. “It’s easy to be negative and focus on one industry,” he said. “It’s a really complicated issue. It’s going to be hard to make sure we’re putting money in the right places.” A final version of the plan is expected in mid-July following a monthlong period to collect comments from the public and make any revisions.

Public health officials say it is spreading rapidly, and the World Health Organization calls it “a threat of alarming proportions.” It took 60 years for Zika to make it out of Africa, where it originated, to Asia, but just another eight to reach Latin America. Today, it has infected people in 62 countries, including the United States and pretty much all of the countries in the Western Hemisphere. In fact, Zika is already here in Ohio, with 12 Ohioans having been diagnosed with it. Thus far, it looks like all of the Americans who have Sen. Rob become infected did so either by Portman Contributing traveling somewhere else and being bitten by a mosquito, or by sexual Columnist contact with someone who had Zika. For most adults, Zika is not fatal. But for the most vulnerable, like the elderly or the unborn, it can be a sentence to a life of suffering and disability, or even death. It can have tragic consequences for babies. When Zika spread to Brazil in 2015, health officials reported an increased incidence of babies born with a birth defect that causes abnormally small head and brain size. We know of more than 900 confirmed cases of Brazilian babies born with this birth defect since then, with another 4,000 suspected cases. Officials also reported an increase in Guillain-Barre syndrome, which causes the body’s immune system to attack its own nerves. These are just two of the neurological side effects that can result, and like Zika, they are currently incurable. There’s a lot that we don’t know about the Zika virus. Sometimes we don’t even know it when we see it: it’s difficult to distinguish from similar viruses like dengue, and it can only be detected for a few days in the blood. Four out of five people who have it don’t even know that they have it. We do know that Zika is spread by mosquitos, and that it also can be transmitted through sexual contact. Because most people who have it don’t know that they have it, they’re even more likely to spread it. I believe that we have an obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us. Protecting people from Zika is one concrete way to do that. Here’s what I’m doing about it in the United States Senate. I have sponsored and voted for bipartisan legislation that President Obama signed into law that will give accelerated, priority review at the FDA for new drugs and vaccines that could treat Zika. Recently, I joined my colleagues in the Senate to vote for a bipartisan agreement to provide $1.1 billion in emergency funding to fight Zika. The vast majority of this funding would go to strengthen health programs here in the United States, including research and development toward a vaccine, as well as support international programs to prevent Zika from crossing our borders again. Funding would also go toward health services for pregnant women, improving infrastructure for testing for Zika, and enhance mosquito control programs. I believe that this investment up front will save a lot over the longer term and save lives. I have also urged the Secretary of the Air Force to engage the reservists at Youngstown’s Air Reserve Station, who are ready to help eliminate the mosquitoes that cause the threat. The 910th Airlift Wing in Youngstown is the only fixedwing aerial spray capability in our military. The 910th has played key roles in other public health emergencies, spraying millions of acres in Louisiana and Texas after Hurricane Katrina to keep mosquitoes from spreading infectious disease. As Rear Admiral Stephen Redd, M.D., told me in a hearing of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, many counties across the country do not have effective mosquito control infrastructure; some have hardly any at all. He went on to say that there could be a role for the 910th in these areas, and that “the Zika virus is pointing out the need to revitalize mosquito control efforts.” I couldn’t agree with him more. We should use some of the resources we voted for this week to upgrade the Youngstown military mosquito abatement efforts we already have at our disposal. My priority in the United States Senate is to keep Ohioans safe, and to give them peace of mind. If we can contain the Zika virus from spreading further, then we can do both.

Tyler Twyman’s misfortunes only proved that a lot of people were wrong. The 6-foot River Valley senior guard fulfilled his dream of playing college basketball at RVHS on Thursday, May 19, when he signed a letter of intent with the Davis and Elkins College Senators in Elkins, W.Va. Twyman — one of only two boys to surpass 1,000 career points during his tenure with the Raiders — battled through playing in two different leagues and having three varsity coaches during his four years in the Silver and Black, not to mention sufBryan Walters | OVP Sports fering a terrible knee injury during River Valley senior Tyler Twyman, seated center, signed a letter of intent to continue his basketball career at Davis and Elkins College.

Edwards, and Lauren Twyman (sister). the two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference and two-time All-Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division selection finished his high school hoops career with 1,099 points — second only to Joey James in the program’s two-plus decades of existence. Still, the three-time District 13 and three-time Associated Press AllSoutheast District selection never doubted that he could play basketball at the collegiate level — despite what some people in other circles may have thought or expressed. After working his way back onto the court late into his senior season, Twyman was ultimately able to silence his critics while proving that his passion for basketball was never stronger. And, as Twyman said himself, the main people to thank for that fortitude were at home. See TWYMAN | 10 Dalton to Green: Like old times at Bengals workout CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton took the snap during an 11-on-11 drill, looked deep and let it fly. A.J. Green had barely a step on cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, leaving a small space to fit one in. It was right there. Dalton completed his long throw to Green on Tuesday, leaving Jones punching at the air in frustration. And then Dalton did it again and again, beating a different defender each time. In his first time running the offense since he broke his thumb, Dalton was right on the mark. “It’s been awhile now,” Dalton said after practice, wiping sweat from his forehead. “It feels good to be back out there and not have any concerns.” The Bengals are a work in progress on offense, trying to finally get over their historically bad run of playoff losses. They spent much of the offseason keeping their defense intact, but they lost two of their top three receivers and changed offensive coordinators. Receiver Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu left as free agents. The Bengals signed receiver Brandon LaFell and drafted Tyler Boyd in the second round to fill out the receiving group. Former offensive coordinator Hue Jackson helped Dalton get to his breakthrough season last year. He was among the league’s top passers when he broke his right thumb while making a tackle during an interception return last Dec. 13 during a loss to the Steelers. Dalton missed the rest of the season, including a first-round playoff loss to the Steelers. When Jackson took Cleveland’s head coaching job, the Bengals elevated Ken Zampese to coordinator. He was the quarterbacks coach for the last 13 seasons, so Dalton is familiar with him. Jackson liked to draw up unusual plays. During his two years as coordinator, Dalton caught a touchdown pass and would be used as a lead blocker on occasion. Jackson liked to use unbalanced lines and split an offensive tackle as a slot receiver so he could block on the perimeter. He had Sanu take snaps in a special package. Zampese plans to be creative as well, although nobody will know how until the season begins. “He’s been my coach since I’ve been here,” said Dalton, who was a rookie in 2011. “He’s been around this team a long time.

Wilcoxons qualify for state tennis after all By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com ATHENS — Indeed, Tuesday was the Wilcoxons’ day of Monopoly. After all, it had to feel like drawing the “Bank Error in Your Favor” card, then landing on Boardwalk and building a hotel. That’s because, upon further review, Gallia Academy’s Adriana and Pierce Wilcoxon will be playing in the Division II state tennis doubles tournament — having won Tuesday’s third-place match as part of the annual Southeast-East District event. That’s correct — the Wilcoxon siblings secured a state tournament trip to the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason. After learning on Monday that they would be getting a second chance to qualify for Friday and Saturday’s state meet, Adriana and Pierce played in the third-place tilt on Tuesday afternoon at Ohio University’s Tennis Center. This time, with sunny skies overhead and on the outdoor doubles courts, the Wilcoxons won 7-6 (7-4 tiebreaker), 6-2 over East Liverpool’s Jonathan and Chris Montgomery. Thus, the Wilcoxons went 2-1 at this year’s tournament — a year after finishing as district semifinalists. On Saturday, the Wilcoxons — the district doubles top seed for the second consecutive season — won their quarterfinal match before losing in three sets to Cambridge’s Clay McCauley and Andrew Eddy in the semifinals. A report on Saturday’s matches appeared in Tuesday’s editions of Ohio Valley Publishing. McCauley and Eddy, who captured the district doubles championship, automatically secured a state tournament berth by advancing to the district title match. It was also initially understood that the Wilcoxons were eliminated from the tournament, since it was originally believed that only two state qualifiers emerged from the Southeast-East district. However, it was discovered on Monday that the SoutheastEast was supposed to send three qualifiers to the state — and so the Wilcoxons and Montgomerys got another opportunity on Tuesday. And, Adriana and Pierce — playing outdoors this time as opposed to Saturday’s all-day indoor session, played well and gained a straight-set sweep. It marked the second such sweep of an East Liverpool squad, as the Wilcoxons won a pressure-packed 7-6 (7-5 tiebreaker), 7-5 encounter against freshmen Klayton Kosak and Isaac Davidson in the quarterfinals. By being the top seed, the Wilcoxons had an opening-round bye in the 12-team event — as all three of their first-time opponents represented the East District. Thus, Adriana — the only female player at this year’s district tournament and the only Gallia Academy senior — earned at least one more match on Friday. “I’m happy that both of them (Wilcoxons) got another opportunity and we’ll definitely take it. It’s rare to get a second chance like that,” said GAHS tennis coach Randy Christian. “They played well, were in sync together, and playing outdoors this time made a difference too. It allowed us to hit more lob shots, played to our strengths as outdoor players.” Consider also that since Adriana and Pierce played primarily singles matches in the regular season, Saturday’s competition marked only their sixth and seventh matches all year as an actual doubles team. Tuesday’s bout was the eighth, and their first outdoors matches since sweeping through the five in the Division II sectionals at Portsmouth. The Wilcoxons have now won 13 postseason matches together, and will have a maximum of four more matches in this weekend’s state tournament. The single-elimination bracket features 16 clubs, with the opening round and quarterfinals set for Friday. The Wilcoxons will play seniors Devesh Modi and Maddox McGrae of Gates Mills Hawken in the round of 16. Modi and McGrae gained a berth by finishing as the Northeast District’s runner-up, as the Northeast and Southwest districts sent four qualifiers apiece. The Southeast-East, along with the Northwest District, advanced three each — while only two teams qualified from the Central District.

Eastern golf scramble Warriors on brink of elimination Vance shuts down OU in 6-0 win in Big 12 tournament OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Suddenly, these Golden State Warriors who have been compared all season to the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s are on the brink of elimination. Russell Westbrook had 36 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Warriors 118-94 on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals. Golden State, which won a league record 73 games in the regular season, lost consecutive games for the first time this season. The Warriors must win Game 5 on Thursday in Oakland to keep their season alive. “We all have to bounce back,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “The good news is, we go home. Obviously we play well at home. The idea now is to go home and get one win. Do that, and we put some pressure on them and we’ll see what happens.” Klay Thompson led Golden State with 26 points, but two-time league MVP Stephen Curry was limited to 19 points on 6-for-20 shooting. Curry’s shooting performance was so uncharacteristic that reporters asked if he was hurt. “He’s not injured,” Kerr said. “He’s coming back from the knee, but he’s not injured. He just had a lousy night. It happens, even to the best players in the world.” The Warriors lost consecutive playoff games by at least 20 points for the first time since Games 2 and 3 of the 1972 Western Conference semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks. Golden State’s Draymond Green, who was fined for kicking Steven Adams in the groin in Game 3, finished with six points, 11 rebounds and six turnovers. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Senior left-hander Ross Vance held Oklahoma to one hit over the last 8 2/3 innings and Kyle Davis hit a three-run homer, leading West Virginia to a 6-0 victory over Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday. Vance took over with one out in the first inning after starter Michael Grove injured his leg when he fielded a sacrifice bunt and tagged out Ben Hollas. Vance (7-3) struck out seven and walked three, and the Sooners managed only two hits for the game. The Mountaineers (34-21) play Thursday afternoon against the winner between Kansas State and Texas Tech. The Sooners (28-26-1) meet the Kansas StateTexas Tech loser in the morning. Davis’ team-leading ninth home run highlighted West Virginia’s four-run fourth inning against Jake Irvin (6-2). The freshman right-hander allowed eight hits and walked four in 3 2/3 innings. Cole Austin and KC Huth had two hits apiece for the Mountaineers. C-USA agrees to TV deals with 4 networks, including ESPN Maryland to visit Louisville in ACC/Big Ten Challenge GREENSBORO, N.C.

Patriots ask appeals court to rehear ‘Deflategate’ case NEW YORK (AP) — The New England Patriots have asked a federal appeals court in New York City to rehear the “Deflategate” case. The team said in court papers filed Wednesday in Manhattan that it has a “strong interest” in sparing quarterback Tom Brady from starting the season with a four-game suspension. The papers say the Patriots “strongly believe” nobody tampered with footballs at the 2015 AFC Championship game. New England defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in that game and went on to win the Super Bowl. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-to-1 last month to reinstate Brady’s four-game suspension. A lower-court judge had ruled last September that the NFL erred in its handling of the probe of the deflated footballs and he rejected the suspension a week before the season began.

How is it possible to make monthly credit card payments and never get anywhere? This problem is caused by high interest rates that eats up most of your payments. Even though you make your minimum payment, you don’t make much headway eliminating the debt. Luckily, there’s a way to find debt relief without incurring more debts. Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster. Freedom from debt can become a reality!

The last two? Not so much. The Pittsburgh Steelers running back took the field with his teammates Tuesday for the first time since tearing the MCL in his right he’s going to do different things because he’s different from Hue. But the nature of what he does, we’ll get used to that. We’ll see over time.” The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the sixth-longest streak of playoff futility in NFL history. They’ve lost an opening-round game each of the last five seasons, an NFL record — no other team has lost more than three straight. Coach Marvin Lewis is 0-7 in the playoffs, also an NFL record. With the offense in flux, Dalton and Green are going to be counted on to get the new receivers up to speed. “We know we’ve got a new locker room,” Green said. “My job and Andy’s job is to push this offense. Andy and I have been here long enough that this offense goes as we go. We don’t need any coaches or anybody to push us. We know what we have to do.” knee last November against Cincinnati. Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict twisted Bell awkwardly as the two tumbled out of bounds just a few yards away from where Bell’s 2014 season ended after taking a shot to the same knee from Cincinnati’s Reggie Nelson. Burfict celebrated openly as Bell writhed in pain, a memory that lingers even Twyman Do your part!

Twyman is also involved with the LEO Club, Student Council, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is a member of the Business Professionals Association at RVHS. Twyman was also a three-time letterwinner in football, but his knee injury prevented him from taking part in the Raiders’ firstever appearance in the playoffs. Out of respect for their fallen comrade, River Valley had a different player wear Twyman’s jersey (No. 1) each week on the gridiron. Twyman acknowledged that it was tough to watch all of that history being made from the sidelines, but he also noted that he felt as included as anyone by both the coaching staff and his teammates.

That run ended with a loss to Denver in the divisional round, a game in which Fitzgerald Toussaint served as the primary ball carrier with both Bell and backup DeAngelo Williams sidelined. season. It was hard for me to not be out there and I did tear up a bit when I saw that they made the playoffs, but I was also very happy for my friends and teammates that they got to have that experience,” Twyman said. “I learned how much love and respect that they had for me during those 11 weeks and I am very fortunate to have such good friends throughout the years. “It was a special moment for me seeing those guys play in Week 11 and I’m glad that each of them was able to have that moment for themselves. Even though I wasn’t out there with them, it was special just to be part of that with them.” Twyman plans on majoring in Sports Management and is looking forward to his upcoming time with the Red, White and Black. He also noted that Elkins and Davis College has a very high rate of helping its graduates find jobs, which factored into his final decision.
