COLUMBUS — Doctors could authorize individuals to hand out a drug overdose antidote to addicts, their friends and family members without requiring a prescription under an Ohio bill aimed at expanding the drug’s availability. The bill approved by the House Health and Aging Committee on Wednesday also would allow pharmacies to distribute the drug naloxone without a prescription as long as a doctor’s rules are followed. The bill “will increase access to the medication and allow more funding to go towards buying naloxone,” the bill’s Republican sponsors, Rep. Robert Sprague of Findlay, and Rep. Jeff Rezabek from Clayton in suburban Dayton, testified earlier this month. The bill, a priority for House Republicans, expands availability to the antidote authorized last year by a law that allows friends or family members of addicts to administer the drug without fear of prosecution. That bill also made it easier for police and emergency responders to administer the drug. Supporters say requiring prescriptions before addicts and their families can get the drug has slowed its availability as the state’s addictions epidemic, fueled by growing heroin abuse, has continued. A record 680 Ohioans died of heroin-related overdoses in 2012, according to the most recent state Health Department records. Accidental overdoses are the leading See ANTIDOTE | 5 �LOCAL 2 Thursday, February 26, 2015 OBITUARY Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES PATRICIA A. SHAIN RACINE — Patricia A.

Collaborative education helps prepare HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — More than 300 Marshall University students, including ones from the School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy and the College of Health Professions, are gathering over the next several weeks for a series of interprofessional education sessions designed to teach health care students collaborative team skills for providing high-quality patient care. This is the third year for the program, which encourages students from different disciplines to learn team-building skills in the delivery of health care. The concept of interprofessional education or common learning has gained traction over the past few years as a way to break down the traditional “silos” associated with higher education and to provide higher quality patient care. “Having students from these different disciplines come together and work in a climate of shared values only strengthens our future health care givers,” said Amy M. Smith, assistant dean for medical education at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. “They embrace diversity and individual differences by understanding each other’s roles and responsibilities toward patient care. This is truly the way health care in the 21st century is designed to work.” Dr. Michael Prewitt, dean of the MU College of Health Professions, said innovative approaches to team-based medicine allow for greater understanding of global health workforce challenges. “For the past three years, we have been proud to partner with the schools of medicine and pharmacy to bring interprofessional col- laboration opportunities to our students while increasing available resources and improving the delivery of patient care,” Prewitt said. The objectives for the interprofessional classes were derived from the interprofessional education collaborative which has representatives from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, American Dental Education Association, Association of American Medical Colleges, and Association of Schools of Public Health. “The planning group took the objectives set forth from the interprofessional education collaborative and designed these events,” said Dr. Brittany Riley, assistant professor, Marshall University School of Phar- SCHNEIDER IS HIRING TRUCK DRIVERS!

It is our hope that the students understand why these objectives are important for them to master as future health care professionals.” MU interprofessional education is a series of three events with the first event designed as a group introduction to the health care team and reviewing patient care cases. The second independent teambased session allows the students to meet as a group and discuss the inequities of health care by watching and discussing a video, book or articles. The third event allows the students to come together as the health care team and discuss their findings and recommendations in a simulated scenario with a standardized patient. �LOCAL Daily Sentinel Thursday, February 26, 2015 3 Partnership aims for improved recycling data Pictured, from left, are Donna Deal, Julie Howell, Linda Borton, Dr. Alice Dachowski, Hayley Johnson and Debbie Elliott.

Marshall to host Science Olympiad Staff report HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The Science Olympiad, which organizers say is the “nation’s most exciting K-12 science competition,” will take place in West Virginia for the first time Saturday on Marshall Fire From Page 1 and there were pictures from the 1950s. Business records, financial records, historical records … all of that’s gone. Information for the coming year and anything involved with planning of the fair … that’s all gone, too.” Fair board secretary Tim Massie echoed similar sentiments about the loss of historical fair data. “A lot of history just burned up here today,” he said. “Buildings, furnishings … those can be replaced. It’s the things of historical value that can’t be replaced. A lot of history is just lost.” Massie said the loss of the Commercial Building and all of its contents would probably be valued between $250,000 and $300,000. He added that it was “only a wild guess.” Massie said the fire was first discovered by a caretaker who had just arrived for work. No one was injured in the fire. Null said the fire was so intense that it melted “holes” in its aluminum shell. “At the time, we didn’t let any of the firemen go inside because we didn’t know what the contents consisted of,” he said. “Anytime you have a fire start overhead like that, you don’t want to be underneath it because University’s Huntington campus.

It was not worth the risk.” Investigators from the State Fire Marshal’s office in Columbus were called to the scene to help, Null said. “Although we don’t suspect anything, as a matter of precaution and because it’s a little unusual as to what it is, we called for the State Fire Marshal’s office to investigate,” he said. “They are here. I don’t know what the outcome of that will be until their investigation is complete.” Lindsay Burnworth, public information officer for the Ohio Department of Commerce’s fire and explosion investigations bureau, said the investigation is ongoing and no cause for Wednesday’s fire has been determined. Massie said the fair board must now make contingency plans for one of its most central buildings. “We will bounce back from this and move forward,” he said. “We’ll have to set up some temporary things. Fortunately, we will have some time. We will still have the fair and other activities here. We just lost one of our major buildings.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Recycling saves Ohio’s landfill space, conserves natural resources and saves on disposal costs. Recycling also creates jobs and is good for Ohio’s economy. However, getting accurate information about recycling activities that take place at businesses throughout Ohio is challenging. As a result, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, Ohio EPA and Ohio’s local solid waste management districts have teamed up for a statewide initiative to encourage commercial, retail and industrial businesses to submit their recycling data. Each year, Ohio’s 52 local solid waste management districts survey businesses in their districts about the amounts and types of materials being recycled. The data is reported to Ohio EPA, which compiles the information to get a statewide picture of recycling activities, trends and opportunities. The data collected help determine how much material is being diverted from Ohio’s landfills, reveals infrastructure needs and determine whether local solid waste management districts are meeting Ohio’s recycling goals. Greater participation in the surveys leads to more accurate data and a better understanding of what is happening locally and throughout the state. Voluntary participation in the survey benefits businesses by connecting them to the local solid waste management districts that serve their region. Solid waste districts offer services such as waste assessments (figuring out what waste materials may be recycled rather than thrown away and identifying markets for these materials), financial assistance through grants, employee education and other technical assistance. “Recycling is important to Ohio’s environment and its economy. The surveys help us know if we are meeting recycling goals and how we can better serve Ohio’s businesses and communities,” said Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler. “Industry is an enormous consumer of recycled materials, such as metals, glass, paper and plastics; thus, manufacturers are strong advocates for recycling systems in Ohio. Measuring and reporting recycling efforts is valuable for all of Ohio’s audiences,” said Rob Brundrett of the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association. Ohio EPA recently launched a collaborative website that includes contact information for each solid waste district in Ohio and access to the recycling survey. Recycling data from the previous year also is available. The survey only takes about 15 minutes to complete. Hard copies of the surveys may also be mailed out by solid waste management districts. Participating either way – through the new website or a hard copy received directly from a solid waste management district – will help Ohio’s solid waste management districts and Ohio EPA improve their understanding of recycling by businesses and identify where more help may be needed. In addition to the services offered by solid waste management districts, Ohio EPA offers grants, technical assistance and recognition to businesses and organizations who want to recycle more or develop markets for recycled products. Ohio EPA staff can help businesses audit their processes to find ways to become more efficient, reduce waste and find places to recycle materials. Many businesses in Ohio have already found that recycling helps them meet their own sustainability objectives and improve their bottom lines. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, Ohio EPA and Ohio’s local solid waste management districts hope that this new partnership will encourage more businesses to share their recycling information, whether they have been recycling tons of material for years or are just getting started. “People realize what the fair stands for and the importance of the fair,” Massie said. “They’ll try to be there and help us whenever we need some help. It’s good to know that. It’s good to know we have the community’s support. We’ll just have to start meeting and planning for something we weren’t anticipating. “This place means a lot to us on the fair board — and to many other people who spend a lot of time here. To see it just go down the drain because of a fire … it hurts.” Reach Michael Johnson at 740-4462342, ext. 2102, or on Twitter @ OhioEditorMike.

Vilsmeier # 2004000137 60566681 �E ditorial 4 Thursday, February 26, 2015 Daily Sentinel OUR VIEW It’s OK to be different Oscar acceptance speeches tend, with rare exceptions, to be bland/dull/excruciatingly boring thank-you lists of names of people who few in the television audience recognize. So when a true gem comes along, shines amid so much cubic zirconium, it tends to be remembered, talked about. On Sunday night, the best of these, aside from best supporting actor J.K. Simmons’ exhortation for everyone to call his or her mother, had to be Graham Moore’s speech when he won the best adapted screenplay Oscar for “The Imitation Game.” “When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself because I felt weird, and I felt different, and I felt like I did not belong,” Moore said. “And now I’m standing here, and so I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she’s weird or she’s different or she doesn’t fit in anywhere. Yes, you do. I promise you do. You do. Stay weird. Stay different. And then when it’s your turn and you are standing on this stage, please pass the same message to the next person who comes along.” Perhaps it is a sign of the times, or perhaps it is because “The Imitation Game” is about Alan Turing, a British mathematician whose work as a codebreaker during World War II is believed to have cut the war short by two years and saved millions of lives, even though it wasn’t enough to save him when he was outed as gay in a time when homosexuality remained illegal in England. But, by Monday morning, social media was abuzz with talk of Moore’s speech. Some questioned whether Moore’s use of the term “different” — a word and concept that played heavily in his film — was code for “gay.” It was a popular enough conversation topic that Moore felt the need to explain that, no, he’s not gay. And rightly so. Not to dismiss homosexuality or downplay the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer community’s struggle for acceptance and the right simply to be, but Moore’s point was — is — larger than sexual orientation or gender. Not every teenager who feels different, weird, like a square peg that doesn’t fit in our round world, is struggling with issues of sexual orientation or gender. We are all different. Every single one of us. The girl who likes comic books better than meet-cute-teen romance novels. The boy who is as comfortable in a skirt as his female friends are in blue jeans. The kid who simply isn’t comfortable speaking up in class — or anywhere, for that matter. Or, like Moore, the teen who struggles with depression. People at any age are, at their core, so much more than simply gay or straight or other. And each of us is different, weird in some way. But it’s a big round planet with room for everyone’s square peg. We just have to give ourselves permission — and time — to find our place.

As a practical matter, Walker used college as vocational education for what was his true passion: politics. He took up political science, but studying political science has about as much bearing on becoming a politician as studying marine biology does on becoming an Olympic diver. Politics is something you learn by doing. Walker ran for student office repeatedly at Marquette, then for real office almost as soon as he left school, building a career that has made him more successful and influential than world-class political science Ph.Ds. We shouldn’t overlearn from Scott Walker’s example, of course. For many people, it’s better to graduate from college than not. But not for everybody. It would make more sense if we had a postsecondary system that had ways of training and credentialing young people that wasn’t so overwhelmingly dependent on a four-year degree, which is controlled by a lazy, inefficient and tuition-hiking academic establishment. If Scott Walker wins the Republican nomination, Democrats will, of course, attack him as anti-education, but they will be falling into a trap if they make his lack of a degree an issue. When it comes to college, Walker is a representative of the 68 percent, and a symbol of all that is possible even without a diploma hanging on a wall.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 26, 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba and headed back to France in a bid to regain power. On this date: In 1904, the United States and Panama proclaimed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to undertake efforts to build a ship canal across the Panama isthmus. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. In 1940, the United States Air Defense Command was created. In 1945, authorities ordered a midnight curfew at nightclubs, bars and other places of entertainment across the nation. In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb. In 1962, after becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, astronaut John Glenn told a joint meeting of Congress, “Exploration and the pursuit of knowledge have always paid dividends in the long run.” In 1970, National Public Radio was incorporated. In 1987, the Tower Commission, which had probed the Iran-Contra affair, issued its report, which rebuked President Ronald Reagan for failing to control his national security staff.

Kasich also defended proposed tax increases to oil and natural gas extraction and the Commercial Activities Tax. He said those who claim the tax on oil and natural gas would kill the industry were making a “joke,” and that the commercial activities tax would allow small businesses to have the “same shot in the arm” that larger businesses received 10 years ago. On education, the governor said his proposed changes to education, funding and otherwise were needed “to make sure we give hope to people who think they are stuck.” Kasich’s budget calls for the largest investment in education in the history of Ohio, according to the governor. But it doesn’t give increases to everyone, a fact that Kasich acknowledged. “If you can do more for yourself, you should,” he said. “We cannot take from schools who are worse off and give it to schools who could do more. We’ve got to do better than that.” He said that many of the school Society Kaye Fick, Linda Blosser, Judy Rigsby, Sheila Curtis and Debbie Kennedy are greatly appreciated for the hours From Page 1 that they volunteer to keep the Chester Courthouse and Academy open.

A message was left with the company. districts his proposed budget would affect the best included children from weak families who often hear gunshots in their neighborhood at night. “They deserve a chance, too,” he said. “We’re going to help them get up — plain and simple.” And, Kasich called upon the Legislature to consider his budget because it calls for welfare reform, aiming to simplify and streamline the process, help the needy and not “penalize you for getting ahead.” He said welfare shouldn’t be “a way of life” but a “way station” on the path to getting back on one’s feet, and he praised Nina Turner, a Democrat in the Legislature, for her service in reforming welfare. He said it might not be “Republican” to praise Democrats, but added, “Who cares? We’re not here to serve a party or ideology. We’re here to solve problems.” Despite the large number of subjects Kasich touched on, there was a common thread unifying each. “It all starts with a strong economy. If we’re not creating jobs, ladies and gentlemen, all the other goods things don’t happen,” Kasich said. “Do not miss the opportunity to create a new Ohio.” The governor presented the Governor’s Courage Award to the nurses of Ohio, Shane and Brittney Robinson, and basketball playerLauren Hill. He thanked the nurses for their service, compared the Robinsons to the good Samaritan for their rescue of two critically injured people from a flaming car. Kasich played a video detailing Hill’s story — where, despite her inoperable brain tumor, she managed to play her first collegiate game in November. Now she can no longer attend school “I don’t know if Lauren is watching. She may be. … Maybe Lauren can hear us from this place in Wilmington tonight to her hospital room,” Kasich said to applause.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team is once again headed to the Ohio Christian Schools Athletic Association Final Four following a 60-44 victory over visiting New Hope Christian Academy in a Southeast Regional final Monday night in the Old French City. The Defenders (19-5) capped their final home contest in memorable fashion, with six players reaching the scoring column – including five with at least eight points apiece. OVCS also shot 42 percent from the field and trailed only 2-0 in the early moments of regulation. It will be the program’s third straight trip to Ohio Christian University in Circleville, where the Blue and Gold will face Mansfield Temple Christian in the first state semifinal at 6 p.m. Friday. DePaul Cristo Rey and New Day Academy face off in the second semifinal at 7:30 p.m. The second-seeded Statesmen (14-6) got a pair of early free throws from Caleb Engen for their only lead, but the topseeded Defenders answered with nine consecutive points en route to a 17-7 edge after eight minutes of play. NHCA made a 10-7 run to start the second quarter, but the hosts countered with the final eight points of the first half – allowing Ohio Valley Christian to secure a 32-17 edge at the break. The guests made one last charge to start the second half, going on a 13-2 run to close to within two possessions at 34-30. The Statesmen, however, were never closer the rest of the way. OVCS responded with seven straight points as part of a 7-3 run to finish the canto, giving the hosts a 41-33 cushion headed into the finale. The Defenders twice led by 17 points down the stretch as part of a 19-11 finish, which concluded the 16-point outcome.

Buckeyes win TVC wrestling crown By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com BELPRE, Ohio — The king is dead. Long live the king. Athens had its six-year reign as champions come to an end Monday night after Nelsonville-York came away with the title during the 2015 Tri-Valley Conference wrestling tournament held at Belpre High School in Washington County. The Buckeyes earned four individual championships en route to a winning team tally of 183 points, which was a mere three points better than eventual runner-up Vinton County. The Bulldogs were third out of 10 teams with 167 points, while Alexander (62.5) and River Valley (57) rounded out the top half of the field. Belpre (51.5) and Trimble (26) respectively finished sixth and seventh, while Meigs (14), Waterford (13) and Wellston (11) rounded out the final three spots. The second place Vikings had the most individual champions at the event after scoring six divisional winners, followed by NYHS with four, Athens with three and Belpre with one. The Buckeyes also had five runners-up individually, giving the Orange and Brown a total of nine grapplers in the finals. Both Athens and Vinton County were next with seven wrestlers apiece in the championship finals. The Raiders – who were making their first TVC Championships appearance – had six grapplers finish in the top four, although none of them competed in the championship finals. Grant Gilmore and Anthony Harmon both came away with third place finishes for RVHS in the 170- and 195-pound weight classes, respectively. Jeremiah Dobbins (120), Chance Gilman (126), George Williams (138) and Brandon Cornell (152) also placed fourth in their divisions for the Silver and Black.

Marijuana case continued for NFL running back Bradshaw EATON, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio marijuana possession case involving an Indianapolis Colts running back was continued Wednesday while authorities wait for crime lab results. Eaton Municipal Judge Paul Henry rescheduled a pretrial conference for Ahmad Bradshaw to April 8. Bradshaw pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor count after being stopped this month by state troopers on a western Ohio interstate. A Super Bowl player while with the New York Giants, Bradshaw, 28, would become a free agent in March after signing one-year Colts contracts the last two years. The team’s website had carried a story earlier in which Bradshaw said he hoped to remain with the Colts. A Colts spokesman didn’t immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment on Bradshaw’s status. Bradshaw had 725 total yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games for the Colts in 2014 before suffering a season-ending fractured fibula. His Dayton attorney, David Williamson, didn’t immediately return a call for comment. The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Bradshaw was stopped for a traffic violation on Interstate 70 on Feb. 5. A trooper said he found 1.5 grams of marijuana in the vehicle and sent some unidentified substances and other items to the patrol’s crime lab. 6 6 PM WSAZ News (WSAZ) 3 WTAP News (WTAP) at Six ABC 6 News (WSYX) at 6:00 p.m. Arthur 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE Eyewitness News at 6 10TV News at 6 p.m. Two and a Half Men BBC World News: America 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM 6:30 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26 7 PM 7:30 NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Newswatch Wheel of Jeopardy!

The Buffalo boys basketball team lost 13 straight games to start the 2014-15 campaign, but the Bison have now won four of their last six, including a 66-48 victory over non-conference guest Hannan, Tuesday night in Putnam County. Buffalo (4-15) began the game with a 17-to-10 run through the opening stanza, and the Blue and Gold pushed their advantage to 36-18 at halftime. The Bison outscored Hannan (4-17) 17-to-12 in the third canto, expanding the lead to 53-30 with eight minutes remaining. The Wildcats ended the game on an 18-to-13 run, but Buffalo claimed the 66-48 victory. Tyler Burns led Hannan with 17 points, followed by Adam Wilson with nine and Corey Hudnall with eight. Isaiah Burgess and Cole Poore each marked six points, while Levi Cade rounded out the HHS scoring with two markers. Buffalo was led by Austin Hensley with 21 points, followed by Devin Rich with 10 and Ethan Burgess with eight. Nathan Casto and Kerry Smith both scored six points; Logan Hunt, Tyler Morlachetta and Jacob Easton each added four, while Nicholas Whittington rounded out the Bison scoring with three points. Buffalo also defeated Hannan on January 27, by a 84-60 count in Ashton, which was the first win of the season for the Blue and Gold. BHS is now 3-5 at home with three consecutive wins, while the Wildcats fall to 1-9 away from Ashton. These teams will meet again on Monday in the Class A, Region IV, Section II sectional quarterfinal at Buffalo High School. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

The quintet of Kenzie Baker, Cheyenne Huffman, Kenna Justice, Kaela Shaw and Alyssa Lollathin, from left, represented the RVHS program at the district level for a seventh consecutive season, with Justice serving as an alternate on the relay squad. The foursome of Baker, Huffman, Shaw and Lollathin finished 25th out of 30 teams with a time of 2:04.04, which wasn’t fast enough to get the group to the state meet this coming weekend in Canton.
