Mike DeWine said Tuesday. DeWine did not provide details but hinted it could include smaller amounts of money meant to spread out the odds so more people win. He said he’s concerned about the continued spread of the so-called delta variant of COVID-19, as well as the fact that some parts of Ohio still have low vaccination rates. The highly contagious delta variant, first identified in India and now spreading in more than 90 other countries, will be dominant in Ohio by month’s end, DeWine said. The governor also noted that 99% of Ohioans hospitalized with the coronavirus are unvaccinated. “Anybody who’s not been vaccinated is just very vulnerable with this delta variant on the loose,” the Republican governor said. “That’s the real challenge.” The governor said some people are motivated by big prizes, while others are motivated by smaller but still significant amounts of money with better odds, according to experts. “Those are the two, and we’ve tried one,” he said. About 5.6 million people in the state have received at least one shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as of Tuesday, or 48% of the total population, according to the Department of Health. About 5.3 million people, or 45%, have completed the process. Some counties, particularly in rural areas, have much lower rates, including 24% in Adams County in southern Ohio, 30% in Darke County in western Ohio, and 32% in Noble County in eastern Ohio, according to Health Department data. The governor did not set a new goal for vaccinations, but said, “Ohio probably needs another million people to be vaccinated.” In May, DeWine launched the national movement to offer millions of dollars in incentives to See COVID | 3 Sarah Hawley | Sentinel file photo Ohio University’s Alden Library is pictured in this 2017 file photo.

Under the Fair School Funding Plan, the state’s cost per pupil is based on actual expenses faced by a district, such as teacher salaries and benefits, transportation, technology needs, and the number of administrators. The bulk of the money, about 60%, goes to direct classroom instruction. In the school funding plan approved last month, the base cost averages $7,200 per student for most districts. “It costs out the day COVID in the life of a student, and it takes the student’s perspective,” said Ryan Pendleton, chief financial officer for Akron Public Schools. “So, from the time they’re picked up to the time they log off at night, and everything in between.” More than 80% of Ohio’s 600-plus districts would receive between $7,000 and $8,000 in per-pupil base funding, according to a legislative analysis. District share The way the local community’s contribution is measured is also changing. Under the old system, what a district could pay was based mainly on property tax values. That could skew what some districts could pay if they had a large company in the district but most people were low-wage earners in town. It also depended on a comparison with local support in other districts. That meant a particular district’s ability to provide local dollars was determined largely by what other districts were contributing. This led to instances of districts being judged wealthier or poorer than they actually were. With the school funding plan now in law, the local district share is based on both property tax value and district residents’ income, giving a more accurate picture of what a local district can actually contribute to the base cost. The plan also increases accuracy because a district’s share is determined by what it can actually pay, regardless of what other districts contribute. Guarantees The former school funding plan contained provisions ensuring that districts wouldn’t see funding decrease year over year, a method known as the guarantee. This system protected districts that saw temporary changes in factors that could affect fund- “Anybody who’s not been vaccinated is just very vulnerable with this delta variant on the loose. That’s the real challenge.” From page 1 boost vaccination rates in May, including five million-dollar prizes and five full-ride college scholarships. The state concluded the program last month with mixed results. Initially, the May 12 announcement had the desired effect, leading to a 43% boost in state vaccination numbers over the previous week. But numbers of vaccinations dropped afterward. Multiple other states followed Ohio’s lead, including California,Colorado, Louisiana,Maryland, and – Gov. Mike DeWine New York state, with the effect on vaccinations hard to pin down. Also Tuesday, DeWine declined to say whether he’ll veto a measure approved by the Legislature and aimed at coronavirus vaccines that would prevent public schools and state colleges from requiring that students receive vaccines that have not been fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. DeWine did urge the FDA to move coronavirus vaccines from emergency use authorization status to full approval. He said many Ohioans hesitant to receive the vaccine cite the lack of full approval. “It is past time for the FDA to take into account that hundreds of millions of people have received these vaccines, and move it from an emergency basis over to a regular basis,” the governor said. “That will help us, in Ohio and across the country, to get more people vaccinated.” Thursday, July 15, 2021 3 ing, such as enrollment, the value of property, or local income. About 350 districts received guarantees in fiscal year 2019, a number that has continued to increase. Under the Fair School Funding Plan, guarantees are predicted to dwindle and potentially disappear. “There’s a conceptual need for the guarantee, but the goal is that if we have a formula that can be in place over time, and adequately funded, and slowly implemented, then a need for a guarantee should go away,” said Will Schwartz, legislative services deputy director for the Ohio School Boards Association. Caps The previous school funding system also put limits known as caps on how much money some districts could receive based solely on how much state money was available. “The state just did not have the funds to fund all those districts at the level the formula said it should,” said Tom Hosler, superintendent of Perrysburg local schools in suburban Toledo. That limitation often affected fast-growing districts whose costs rise as more students enroll, forcing districts to turn to voters more frequently to make up the difference. The Fair School Funding Plan aims to eliminate caps once the plan is completely funded. Wellness Additional funding was proposed two years ago by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine and was meant to pay for programs — such as mental health services and services for children on welfare — to enhance a child’s education by addressing needs outside of the normal school requirements. DeWine had asked for $1.1 billion in wellness funding when he first proposed the state budget this Suspends signing ceremony. “I can think of no greater way to honor him than a law in his name designed for From page 1 the sole purpose of protecting others.” Stone Foltz of alcohol The law will go into poisoning in March.

The Fair School Funding Plan incorporates wellness spending into the new formula, with requirements that the money pay for those enhanced services. Because it’s now permanently part of the funding system, it should remain even after DeWine leaves office. Categorical funding The state will continue to support poor children, gifted children, students in special education and those in career technical education programs, but the new system will grow funding for those children as a percentage of the base cost, rather than add a specific dollar amount of extra money as the state has done in the past. The exception to the new plan’s percentage rule is funding for poor students, which rose from $272 to $422 per student with a goal of transferring that funding to a percentage down the road. tions. “We can’t wait to get serious about this until we lose another child, until we lose another college student,” DeWine said last week when he signed the bill.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A little closer, but nothing changed since the first goround. The Meigs Post 39 baseball team — which swept Jackson Post 81 in a season-opening twinbill on June 5 — met with the Apple City squad again on Tuesday at Meigs High School, with Post 39 squeaking out a 3-2 victory in eight innings. Jackson — the home team in the game — took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second, as Ingalls made it home on a one-out bases-loaded Meigs (Post 39) 3, Jackson (Post 81) 2 M 002 000 01 — 3-5-2 J 011 000 00 — 2-6-1 WP: Andrew Dodson (2IP, H, K, 2BB) LP: Bartoe (8IP, 3R, 5H, 5K, 3BB) Meigs (10-9): Coltin Parker 2-3 (RBI), Lukas Finlaw 1-2 (RS), Matthew Blanchard 1-3 (RS, 2RBI), Conner Ridenour 1-4.

Post 39 (10-9) escaped the jam without allowing any more damage, however, with a fielder’s choice grounder, followed by a flyout. Post 39 took a 2-1 lead in the top of the very next inning, as Matthew Blanchard doubled home Lukas Finlaw and then scored on a Coltin Parker single. Post 81 tied the game in the home half of the third, however, with a two-out single from Landon bringing Frisby home to score. Meigs didn’t make it back into scoring position until the seventh inning, but left the runner on second. Jackson left a runner on third in the bottom of the sixth, and had a runner thrown out at the plate trying to tag-up from third in the following inning. Post 39 ended the scoreless drought in the top of the eighth, with Chase Barber See POST | 6 Reds heat up, chipping away at Brewers’ lead in NL Central By Mitch Stacy AP Sports Writer CINCINNATI — The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati start the second half of the season the same way they ended the first — with Nick Castellanos and the Reds hoping to pick up where they left off. After Castellanos and the resurgent Reds won three out of four in Milwaukee last weekend to pull within four games of the NL Central-leading Brewers, the schedule matches them up again for a three-game set in Cincinnati right after the AllStar break. In the last two games the Reds scored go-ahead runs in the ninth inning off All-Star closer Josh Hader. Cincinnati’s spare-parts bullpen has struggled for much of the season but suddenly looked unbeatable. The Reds are sizzling in July, winning nine of 11 since dropping a rain-shortened game to the Padres on June 30. Cincinnati won the series finale with San Diego on July 1, swept the Cubs and took two out of three from Kansas City before besting the Brewers. Eugenio Suarez, hitting just .175, homered to lead off the Reds ninth Saturday night in the 4-3 victory, and Castellanos’ two-out hit in ninth drove in two runs in a 3-1 win Sunday. “The players are stepping up in every way, having fun, enjoying themselves, believing in themselves and having confidence they can do it,” Reds manager David Bell said. “It’s just been a pleasure being around these guys, watching them go about it this way. You couldn’t ask for any more.” Cincinnati’s revolving-door staff will get some more arms soon. Right-hander Michael Lorenzen, who has yet to pitch this season because of a shoulder strain, could be activated before Friday’s game against the Brewers. Right-hander Jeff Hoffman, who began the season in the starting rotation, also will be available soon. Tejay Antone and Lucas Sims, two of the top bullpen guys, could return from the injured list by the end of the month. Jesse Winker (.301) and Castellanos (.331) have been among the major league’s top hitters all season and started in the outfield for the National League in Tuesday night’s All Star Game. Hustling rookie Jonathan India has become a fixture leading off and playing second base, pacing the team with a .397 on-base percentage. Joey Votto, the 37-year-old first baseman who missed a month with a fractured thumb, is getting key hits. He singled in the first inning Sunday to drive in the Reds’ first run. “We have to play some really strong baseball the rest of the way,” Votto said. “We think we can do that.” The Brewers, who piled up 11 straight wins from June 22 to July 3 to build an eight-game lead over the Reds, have lost six of their last eight since. Hader was terrific in June, allowing just three hits and no runs and logging eight saves. He got his 21st save in Thursday night’s 5-3 win in the opener of the Reds series but wasn’t so fortunate on Saturday and Sunday. Brewers manager Craig Counsell isn’t concerned. He knows the long season has ups and downs, and he says Hader will be fine. “It’s been a really good first half, and there’s exciting baseball ahead of us,” Counsell said. “There’s a lot for us to prove.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, July 15 Baseball Meigs Post 39 at Glouster Post 414, 6 p.m. Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Ohio head coach Frank Solich talks with an official, during the Bobcats’ non-conference game on Sept. 21, 2019, at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio.

The 2012 season began with the Bobcats earning a signature win at Penn State, upsetting the Nittany Lions by a score of 24-14. Ohio captured division titles in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2016. Solich led the Bobcats to 11 of their 13 bowl appearances and the first five bowl victories in program history, with back-to-back wins in the 2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and ‘12 Independence Bowl and backto-back-to-back victories in the 2017 Bahamas Bowl, ‘18 DXL Frisco Bowl and ‘20 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (2019 season). “Coach Solich has been a deeply valued part of the Ohio University family not only for his record on the field but also for his support of student athletes and their success at OHIO and after graduation,” said Ohio University President Hugh Sherman. “I’m thankful for his leadership and for the continuity that Tim Albin will bring as he steps into the role of head football coach. He knows our program and our players and has been a significant part of the team’s success.” Albin joined the Ohio Football coaching staff as offensive coordinator in 2005, reuniting with Solich after four seasons together at Nebraska. The 2021 season will mark Albin’s 17th year in Athens. Since his arrival in Athens, Albin has produced offensive units that have consistently ranked among the top of the Mid-American Conference. He also has directed an offensive attack that has practically rewritten all of Ohio’s rushing, passing records, and scoring records. In the past 10 seasons, Albin’s offensive units rank No. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 on the Ohio all-time Top 10 single season scoring list. The Bobcats 368 points in 2018 rank fourth on the all-time list. “We are so fortunate to have someone with Tim’s experience, character and vision already within our program,” Cromer said. “There are few situations where a transition can be as seamless as this one. Tim has been an integral part of the sustained success of OHIO football and with his leadership we expect to maintain our competitive pursuit of MAC Championships, even as he establishes his own imprint on the program. We are excited for Tim to lead our football program.” Albin spent the 2004 season as offensive coordinator and running backs coach at North Dakota State, helping the Bison to an 8-3 record and No. 25 national See BOBCATS | 6 �SPORTS 6 Thursday, July 15, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Jags’ Meyer, Baalke subpoenaed in Iowa discrimination suit Hawkeyes staff of demeaning Black players with racial slurs, forcing them to abandon Black hairstyles, fashion and culture to fit the “Iowa Way” promoted by head coach Kirk Ferentz, and retaliating against them for speaking out.

AP Sports Writer Olympic athletes to put on own medals at Tokyo ceremonies TOKYO (AP) — Athletes at the Tokyo Olympics will put their medals around their own necks to protect against spreading the coronavirus. The “very significant change” to traditional medal ceremonies in the 339 events was revealed Wednesday by International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach. “The medals will not be given around the neck,” Bach told international media on a conference call from Tokyo. “They will be presented to the athlete on a tray and then the athlete will take the medal him or herself. “It will be made sure that the person who will put the medal on the tray will do so only with disinfected gloves, so that the athlete can be sure that nobody touched them before.” The Olympic approach is different to soccer in Europe where UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has personally hung medals around the necks of players at competition finals in recent weeks. Ceferin also shook hands with Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Euro 2020 medal and trophy presentation in London on Sunday. His save in a penalty shootout clinched the title for Italy against England. Bach confirmed Wednesday that in Tokyo “there will be no handshakes and there will be no hugs during the ceremony.” PEACHES INDIAN RIVER DIRECT TRUCKLOAD PEACH SALE OH-70238425 JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

The IOC had previously said medalists and ceremony officials would have to wear masks. With no paying spectators allowed to attend most Olympic events, what Bach described as an “immersive sound system” will try to create atmosphere for the athletes in the stadiums and venues. Crowd noise recorded from each event at previous Olympics will be fed into the arena as one of several ways to support the athletes, he said. Some athletes will be connected after their event via screens to their families, friends and fan clubs at home, while fans will be able to send video clips of up to six seconds that can be displayed next to the field of play.

The midday session was to be Biden’s first working meeting with lawmakers at the Capitol since becoming president. It’s the start of his efforts to firm up support for forthcoming legislation embodying his priorities among Democrats, whose skinny congressional majorities leave him with virtually no votes to lose. Late Tuesday, top Democrats announced an agreement among themselves on plans to spend a mammoth $3.5 trillion over the coming decade on a wide range of domestic programs, an expansion Biden has proposed financing with tax boosts on the rich and big corporations.

Separately, a bipartisan group of senators is working to flesh out a related measure that would cost around $1 trillion — including around $579 billion in new spending — on roads, water systems and other more traditional infrastructure projects, another Biden priority. Biden and that group had agreed to an outline of that measure last month, and bargainers are hoping to craft a compromise bill in coming days. Together, the infrastructure and social program packages fall a bit short of the roughly $4.5 trillion Biden had proposed to help communities and families in every corner of the country. That means some increases Biden has proposed will have to be curtailed or cut. The Democrats’ goal is to push a budget resolution reflecting Tuesday’s agreement through the House and the Senate before lawmakers leave for their August recess. Budget passage would let Democrats move a followup spending bill that actually finances the party’s priorities with just 50 votes and Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote in the Senate, not the 60 votes Republicans could otherwise require with a bill-killing filibuster. coverage. Yet Democrats’ emerging plans — most details remain a work in progress — fall short of even bolder progressive goals, like extending overall Medicare coverage to people as young as 60. Biden and party leaders face a tricky task of winning over moderates wary about tax boosts and further ballooning budget deficits, and progressives demanding even more spending. “We know the road ahead is gong to be long. There are bumps along the way,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York acknowledged Wednesday. But he said Democrats would press ahead because “we must make average American lives a whole lot better.” Underscoring the political complexities, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin stopped short of saying Wednesday that he would back all the policy initiatives that Biden and top Democrats are pursuing. “I really haven’t seen everything yet,” Manchin, one of the chamber’s more conservative Democrats, told a reporter. Republicans could well oppose the effort unanimously, criticizing its costs and likely tax increases.

Vermont had the largest jump, of about 58%, but smaller numbers — 118 to 186. The proliferation of fentanyl is one reason some experts do not expect any substantial decline in drug overdose deaths this year. Though national figures are not yet available, there is data emerging from some states that seems to support their pessimism. Rhode Island, for example, reported 34 overdose deaths in January and 37 in February — the most for those months in at least five years. For Collin McGlashen, last year was “an incredibly dark time” that began in January with the cancer death of the family’s beloved patriarch. Their father’s death sent his musician brother Jordan into a tailspin, McGlashen said. “Someone can be doing really well for so long and then, in a flash, deteriorate,” he said. Then came the pandemic. Jordan lost his job. “It was kind of a final descent.” Biden heads to Capitol to firm up support for spending Official: Worrying vaccination trends leading to ‘2 Ohios’ TODAY lion deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed death certificates to come up with the estimate for 2020 drug overdose deaths. The estimate of over 93,000 translates to an average of more than 250 deaths each day, or roughly 11 every hour. The 21,000 increase is the biggest year-to-year jump since the count rose by 11,000 in 2016. More historical context: According to the CDC, there were fewer than 7,200 total U.S. overdose deaths reported in 1970, when a heroin epidemic was raging in U.S. cities. There were about 9,000 in 1988, around the height of the crack epidemic. The CDC reported that in 2020 drug overdoses increased in all but two states, New Hampshire and South Dakota. Kentucky’s overdose count rose 54% last year to more than 2,100, up from under 1,400 the year before. There were also large increases in South researches geographic patterns in overdoses. “Nearly all of this increase is fentanyl contamination in some way. Heroin is contaminated. Cocaine is contaminated. Methamphetamine is contaminated.” Fentanyl was involved in more than 60% of the overdose deaths last year, CDC data suggests. There’s no current evidence that more Americans started using drugs last year, Monnat said. Rather, the increased deaths most likely were people who had already been struggling with addiction.

The Meigs County Farmer’s Market brought the idea to the community this spring, with market secretary-treasurer leading the effort to secure funding for the project. Market Director Stephanie Rife said the market board wanted to give back to community and to encourage healthy eating habits. “We have so much fresh produce at the Market each week to purchase, but we also wanted people to have the opportunity to grow their own,” Rife said. She continued that there is so much that growing your own food can teach you. Just as the sun and rain enrich the soil, the community garden enriches the community with the idea of coming together for a common purpose. “Part of being involved in a community garden is not only learning how to grow plants, but also about growing the community with a shared goal,” she said. “It is about experienced gardeners imparting their knowledge to new gardeners, it is about Peggy Crane | Courtesy The raised beds are bursting in the community garden. “I can just see what this will look like in a few years.

How sweet it is: Bees working hard in local flowers By Lorna Hart HONEYBEE FACTS Special to OVP OHIO VALLEY — While it might sound corny to say flower gardens are abuzz this summer, it would be accurate. Butterflies go about their business silently, but the beating wings of bees are quite audible. If gardens are a bit noisy at the moment, keep in mind bees are working hard at their job as pollinators, and their efforts in gathering pollen will manifest later in the honey they produce. According to Scientific American, the buzzing sound we hear is because bees can flap their wings at a 230 beats per second, causing the air around the bee to vibrate. Humans interpret that vibration as a buzzing sound. The larger the bee, the slower the wingbeat and the lower the pitch of the buzz. Some types of bees are capable of vibrating their wing muscles and middle segment of their body while visiting flowers. The vibrations shake the pollen off the flower’s anthers and onto the bee’s body. Some of that pollen is deposited on the next flower the bee visits, resulting in “buzz-pollination.” The remainder of the pollen Lorna Hart | Courtesy Bumblebees can be quite loud during their “buzz pollination” endeavors. is groomed by the bee onto special pollen-carrying structures (on the hind legs of most bees) and taken back to the hive. Bumblebees can be quite loud during their “buzz pollination.” Since honeybees are incapable of pollinating in this manner, they are usually quieter than bumblebees when foraging, although large numbers can still be quite uproarious. There are many types of bees, including solitary or native bees, bumble bees, and feral bees, but in this series the focus will be on honey bees and the sweet nectar they produce. National Geographic explains the division of labor of a hive as the following: One queen runs the whole hive.

The queen also produces chemicals that guide the behavior of the other bees. Workers are all female and their roles are to forage for food (pollen and nectar from flowers), build and protect the hive, and to clean and circulate air by beating their wings. Drones are male bees, and their purpose is to mate with the new queen. Several hundred live in each hive during the spring and summer, but come winter, when the hive goes into survival mode, the drones are kicked out.

Fifty years later, Holzer Home Care now provides services in Athens, Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton counties in Ohio and Mason County, West Virginia and employs over 50 individuals including nurses, therapists and aides. One of the nurses who was there at Holzer Home Care’s beginnings, Sara Northup, recently discussed her experiences and home health in general with a few of our staff members. “I loved home health,” shared Northup. “It was new, and you could see that was where the future of health care was going.” The team in 1971 consisted of Northup, Jean Neal, RN, who was director of Home Care Services, and Carol Cremeans, RN. They worked for six weeks to develop Holzer Home Care services. Northup shared that the team worked on a grant that Neal then presented. Following approval of the grant, she and Cremeans began making visits shortly thereafter to about seven to eight patients a day. Northup is a graduate of the Holzer School of Nursing and shared that working for home care prepared her for future employment positions. She remembers teaching diabetic care, showing patient’s family members how to give injections, and how to change wound dressings. Northup said that her favorite memory over the course of the three years she was long a patient wants to talk, listen and take the time to be there for them.

No matter how Holzer Senior Care Center Employees awarded Submitted Holzer Senior Care Center recently congratulated employees who were awarded scholarships from the Educational Foundation of the Ohio Health Care Association (EFOHCA). Candace M. Moore, RN, director of Nursing, received the David F. Lucid Scholarship, and Jennifer Baker, RN, BSN received the District III Nadra Bacome Scholarship. According to a news release from Holzer Health System, Baker and Moore discovered the scholarship through email updates from the Ohio Health Care Association. Baker and Moore shared that the application included providing a letter of verification. “In order to be considered, you had to be employed by your current organization for over a year, describe what area of care you were receiving education for and why you chose that area, work history, proof of being enrolled in school, and a letter of verification from the employer,” Moore said. The EFOHCA was established in 1989 with the goal of creating and fostering careers in long-term care settings. Since its establishment, accord- ing to OHCA’s website, EFOHCA has awarded over $2.2 million worth of scholarships to over 1000 people. If someone is interested in working in a long-term care setting, Moore encourages them to work in a nursing home to see if it is the right fit. Baker shared that long-term care settings are her favorite, and she prefers them over hospital settings. “With acute settings, patients rotate through; whereas in a long-term care facility, you form a bond with the residents Holzer Health System | Courtesy who will be living there Pictured are Candace M.

Risk Factors Some of the highest risk factors for prostate cancer include: Age: The risk of prostate cancer increases as men grow older. Race: African American men have a higher risk of developing and dying from the disease. Family History: Men with a close family member, such as a father, uncle, or brother, diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65 have a greater risk. Diet: Eating foods that are high in animal fats increases the risk. Symptoms In its early stages, prostate cancer may have no signs or symptoms. That’s the reason it’s so important to talk to your primary care provider about your screening options. The following symptoms may indicate a more advanced form of the cancer. Talk to your primary care provider if these symptoms persist: Trouble urinating, decreased force in the urine stream, blood in the urine, blood in the semen, bone pain, losing weight without trying, erectile dysfunction. Screening There are two screening tests for prostate cancer: A PSA blood test and a digital rectal exam. Before any screening begins, the American Cancer Society recommends that men first discuss their options with their healthcare provider in order to make an informed choice. This discussion should take place at: š�7][�+&�\eh�c[d�m^e� are at average risk; š�Age 45 for men who are at high risk, African Americans and men with a first-degree relative (father, uncle or brother) diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65; š�7][�*&�\eh�c[d�m^e� are at even higher risk — have more than one first-degree relative who had prostate cancer before age 65 medical conditions.

Migraine Headaches More than 39 million Americans have suffered migraines, a severe, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, and often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. About one-fourth of those who suffer from migraines also experience vertigo, the sensation of feeling off balance or dizzy.

Any visit to a nursing home or assisted living facility can confirm there is a gender gap among the elderly. So why do men have shorter life spans than women? The reasons are many. Boys and men are more likely to die in accidents or from violence, including suicide. On the whole, men engage in more dangerous professions, such as the military. Men are also 50 percent more likely to die of heart disease at a younger age. Fortunately, there is one factor that men can easily address if they want to live longer. See your primary care provider! Regular physical exams and recommended medical screenings can detect serious health risks, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, before they become serious medical conditions. Unfortunately, almost 60 percent of men don’t regularly see their healthcare provider, going only if they are seriously ill. In fact, women are 33 percent more likely to see a healthcare provider and 100 percent more likely to have their recommended medical screenings. Men: It’s time to do better!
