POMEROY — The Meigs County Health Department has resumed Hepatitis C testing. The Meigs County Health Department has historically tested residents for Hepatitis C through a program funded by the Ohio Department of Health. However, ODH’s testing program ended last October due to lack of funding. As a result, the health department had to temporarily stop providing tests. Having performed 24 tests in 2013 and 11 tests in 2014 before the program ceased, health department staff knew that they had to do what they could to continue providing tests. An overall view of 2014 data showed that Meigs County had 46 confirmed and 17 suspected cases of Hepatitis C. According to ODH’s Infectious Disease Control Manual, “Hepatitis C is a virus that uses liver cells to reproduce. As the body’s immune system works to defend against this virus, inflammation, injury, and ultimately scarring of the liver may occur. The Hepatitis C virus is found in the blood of people who have this disease. Hepatitis C is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person.” Chronic viral hepatitis is considered to be a “silent” disease because it progresses slowly and rarely causes symptoms until decades after infection. By the time a person SYRACUSE — Instead of taking the children of the Carleton School in Syracuse to the zoo, the zoo came to Carleton School in the form of a presentation Tuesday done by Columbus Zoo employees. Nick Wells and Kendall Huggler, both animal program specialists at the zoo, brought with them a variety of animals for the children to meet, including tortoises, a small boa constrictor, a flamingo and a porcupine, among others. The men spoke to the students about the habits and habitats of each animal, and Lindsay Kriz | Daily Sentinel Kendall Huggler lets a Carleton School student pet after the presentation ended a tortoise, which was just one of the many animals allowed students to pet some of students got to see Tuesday morning. the animals they brought. Wells said seeing children — or anyone of any age — fascinated by animals and wanting to learn more is one of the best parts of his job. “We have a saying in our department: ‘Touch the heart to teach the mind,’” Well said. “It’s really cool to have that … where you just really have someone interested, they’re willing and wanting to learn so much on a daily basis. It’s really fun to be able to train animals for me, and then also be able to work close with families and kids and getting them excited about education conservation and wanting to learn more about the animals we’re trying to save.” See ZOO | 5 �LOCAL 2 Wednesday, April 22, 2015 OBITUARY DEATH NOTICES CATHERINE SUE (PIERCE) GIBBS NEW HAVEN, W.Va. — Catherine Sue (Pierce) Gibbs, 74, of New Haven, passed away Monday, April 20, 2015, at her home following an extended illness.

With the announcement late Monday that the Iraqi military has retaken key areas in and around the city, the tide has suddenly shifted: Thousands are turning around and heading back toward Ramadi, turning this rickety, makeshift bridge over the Euphrates River into a scene of chaos and clogged traffic. Through the heat and blinding dust, men and women loaded down with suitcases and bags crossed the bridge west of Baghdad on Tuesday. Some led livestock on ropes. Others pushed carts carrying children or the elderly and a few meager possessions. Many said they had nowhere to go. In war-weary Iraq, residents of cities like Baghdad view the mostly Sunni residents of Anbar province with suspicion. One man who was still headed away from Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, bellowed a warning to those who were streaming back toward it. “Turn around!” he cautioned as he crossed into Baghdad province. “It’s not safe!” Iraqi security forces — supported by airstrikes from a U.S.-led coalition — have been making gains in recent weeks to take back territory seized last year by extremists from the self-described Islamic State. Iraqi troops were fresh off a victory last month in the city of Tikrit when the militants pushed into Ramadi, prompting some 114,000 residents to run, according to the U.N. Buoyed by the strong air campaign and volunteer fighters, the military made a quick and decisive response in Ramadi. Still, residents took no chances and fled the city in unprecedented numbers. In the days that followed, however, some changed their minds and believed they were better off at home. That has spurring the frantic two-way traffic on the bridge — a temporary structure erected in place of one bombed by the militants. The new one was meant to support no more than the occasional fruitand-vegetable cart heading for Baghdad, whose outskirts are about 65 kilometers (40 miles) to the east. “We now have more people returning (to Anbar) than those coming,” said army Brig. Gen. Abdullah Jareh Wahib. Ambulances were stationed at both ends of the bridge, providing assistance to those who had walked for miles under the intense sun. The bridge rocked over the river’s current as residents made their way across. “We never expected that within a month’s time, tens of thousands of people would be crossing the bridge,” said Wahib. “The bridge wasn’t built for this kind of weight.” Markus Schreiber | AP Former SS Sgt. Oskar Groening, center, leaves the court building after the first day of the trial against him in Lueneburg, northern Germany, on Tuesday.

Kor, who now lives in Indiana, said she will ask Groening about what may have happened to Mengele’s files in the hope she can learn what she and her sister were subjected to — experiments she said caused her sister to die early nearly 30 years ago of kidney failure. Groening could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison if convicted. On his way into court, he told reporters that he expects an acquittal. His attorney, Hans Holtermann, wouldn’t speculate on the outcome. “Mr. Groening made a long statement about the things he did in Auschwitz and he confessed that in a moral way he’s guilty in the Holocaust, but in the end the decision whether he’s guilty or not needs to be made by the court,” Holtermann told reporters. Groening, who is not in custody, entered the courtroom with the help of a walker. He was lucid as his testimony began but gradually lost focus and Kompisch ended the court session early, saying he would question Groening further Wednesday. Hepatitis C is diagnosed when an individual has the infection beyond the acute phase or six months. People may still live a regular life with Hepatitis C infection.

INSURANCE MADE EASY! 60576863 By David Rising �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, April 22, 2015 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Generator appreciation day arrives Back in the fall of 2012, my husband developed a genuine need for a generator. He claimed his motivation was based out of love for our family. From a desire to keep us safe, warm and with readily available access to microwave popcorn and video games. Some may remember Dec. 21, 2012, as the end date of the ancient Mayan calendar. Doomsday enthusiasts (now there’s an oxymoron) predicted an end to the world as we know it, while stocking up on freeze-dried meats, powdered milk and generators. Generators are powerful machines capable of powering up any number of electrical appliances during power Jill outages or end-of-the-world zombie Pertler apocalypses. They are useful and Contributing loud and — dare I say — manly. Columnist My husband learned all about them and developed a whopping case of generator envy. I don’t think he really believed the world was about to end. He just wanted an excuse to buy a generator. He wouldn’t rest until we had one of our own. The bigger, the better. I wasn’t even aware generators existed for private families in private homes until my husband discovered our expanding need for one. Despite his logical arguments and rational rationale, I wasn’t convinced. But you know how it rolls after 20-plus years of marriage. Sometimes you go along to get along. My husband researched engine specifications, wattage needs and gas tank sizes until he found the Perfect One. Our generator could have been the flux capacitor for all I cared. It was orange and noisy and sat in the corner of our garage. Waiting to be needed. December 2012 came. And went. Without fanfare, calamity or cataclysmic outcome. Our generator remained quiet. Unused and untouched. With the power button switched to off. Since then, it’s been ready to run at a moment’s notice. If ever needed. Ever. Ever… My husband is not typically a patient man. Since that time, during every thunderstorm or batch of inclement weather I’ve watched him, ever hopeful, ever impatient — waiting for a chance to use his precious generator. Which never happened. Not until last weekend. Our generator adventure started when an electrical transformer exploded next door to our house. When I say exploded, I do not mean a little crackle of electrical activity. I mean an EXPLOSION. In capital letters. There were three explosions in all — of green, fiery electric energy pulsing through the wires overhead. My husband and I witnessed it through the window and ran, terrified, toward the interior of the house and away from the commotion outside. It was that scary. Next thing, the power went out. I thought I detected a spark in my husband’s eye. Eight minutes later he mentioned the “G” word. “The kids will be hungry soon,” he said. “I can fire up the generator and make them toast.” I reminded him of the time. It was barely 7 a.m. on a Sunday. Prime sleep hour for our kids as well as plenty of neighbors who, if they hadn’t been rocked out of bed by the explosions, were sure to be by our decibel-rich generator. I suggested we go back to bed. My husband was having nothing of my logic because he was operating under logic all his own. And he’d waited more than two years to do so. He spent the next 15 minutes untangling various extension cords, which were soon plugged into the beast in the garage and summarily snaked throughout the house and attached to various electronic devices. By 9 a.m. we had two TVs on and coffee brewing. He was beginning to speak my language. I have to admit, I woke up that morning a skeptic, but by noon I was a convert. My husband finally won me over to his generator inclinations. It only took him two-and-a-half years to accomplish the feat. Perhaps he is a patient man after all.

In the meantime, we should pass Our business tax code isn’t any a series of measures that will help better. The corporate tax rate of regain trust in the IRS and ensure taxpayers are free from government intimidation from the IRS. We can start with three commonsense bills I introduced this past Wednesday. First, we should pass a Taxpayer Bill of Rights. This will ensure every taxpayer, and the IRS, knows their basic freedoms in the tax code: paying no more than the right amount of tax and rights to appeal and be represented with regard to any abuses they’re subjected to by the IRS. Second, we must prohibit the targeting of any individual by the IRS for political purposes. Any government official that targets and discriminates against a citizen because of his or her political beliefs should be terminated immediately. This kind of government abuse cannot be tolerated. Passing the Prevent Targeting at the IRS Act is a step towards accomplishing this goal. Third, we should pass the Fair Treatment for All Donations Act to permanently ensure that donations to nonprofit organizations won’t be victims to the gift tax. This is another commonsense reform to prevent donations from being taxed based on a person’s political beliefs. These are commonsense changes, but they are very important first steps to reforming the way government agencies treat the people they are meant to serve. It’s long past due to overhaul the tax code. Let’s continue to work on that while we also put in place these important measures to protect taxpayers. Portman has represented Ohio in the U.S. Senate since 2011. TODAY IN HISTORY...

Renee Forrester, a Lebanon graduate whose children attended Lebanon High School, said she doubts the effectiveness of the programs. “They’re doing a great job of addressing issues, but addressing racism?

They talked about bullying and said something about diversity, but didn’t really explain how they’re going about it,” she said Lebanon school officials did not immediately respond to the newspaper’s requests for comment. ignored complaints of racial harassment and bullying of her children in a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on April 13.

LeBron James again has NBA’s No. 1 selling jersey CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James switched back from No. 6 to No. 23 this season. No matter, he’s still No. 1. James’ Cavaliers jersey was the NBA’s top seller for the 2014-15 season, the league announced Tuesday. James returned to the Cavaliers this season after four years with the Miami Heat, leading them to two championships. James wore No. 6 during his time in South Florida but went back to the number he wore in high school and during his first seven seasons with Cleveland after returning home to Ohio this summer. It’s the sixth consecutive year James has topped the list, his third time with the Cavs and ninth time in his 12-year career. The league does not provide exact figures on the number of jerseys sold, but said the rankings are based on overall retail sales on NBAStore.com since the start of the season. Golden State guard Stephen Curry was second followed by Los Angeles Lakers’ star Kobe Bryant, Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Chicago’s Derrick Rose. Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving was sixth. The Chicago Bulls reclaimed the top spot for best-selling team merchandise for the first time since the 2012 season. The Cavaliers were second, ahead of the Warriors, Lakers and Thunder. James has taken the Cavs back to the playoffs for the first time since 2010. His return season didn’t start off well as Cleveland dropped to 19-20 in mid-January after the four-time league MVP sat out two weeks to rest a nagging back and knee injury. But since he came back, the Cavs have gone 33-9, recently clinched the Central Division title and enter this weekend’s playoffs with the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. �8 Wednesday, April 22, 2015 Wednesday, April 22 2015 Got Knee Pain?

Blackwell struck out one batter and claimed the pitching victory, allowing just two hits and a walk in a complete game shutout effort. Wellston (3-5, 2-3) senior Brittany Johnston suffered the loss in the circle for the Lady Rockets. Colburn paced the MHS offense with a homerun, a single, two runs scored and two RBI, while Lodwick doubled once, singled once, scored twice and drove in a run.

SSAC executive director OSU game shows only part of the picture ahawley@civitasmedia.com CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Whether it’s joining the social media movement or advancing the latest techniques in athletes’ health, new Secondary School Activities Commission executive director Bernie Dolan wants the governing body for interscholastic sports in West Virginia to improve how it lets the public know what it’s doing. The SSAC announced Dolan’s hiring by West Virginia school administrators at a meeting Tuesday at Stonewall Jackson Resort in Lewis County. The Ohio County schools assistant superintendent will replace Gary Ray, who is retiring next January. “I’m looking forward to working with the SSAC again,” Dolan, 54, said in a telephone interview. “I think it’s a great organization. Athletics plays an incredible role in students’ high school careers. I just think it’s a great opportunity right now.” The SSAC oversees athletics, cheerleading and band activities among its more than 280 member schools. “I think Bernie will do a great job,” said Dave Walker, the football coach at four-time state champion Martinsburg and an assistant principal at the school. “I think he understands what the coaches and the principals will want.” Dolan served as a teacher, head track coach and assistant football coach, assistant athletic director and athletic director at Wheeling Park High School. He was the school’s principal from 2008 to 2012 before becoming a county school administrator. He served on a Wheeling committee that brought the state high school football Super Six championships to the Northern Panhandle, where it has been at Wheeling Island Stadium since 1994. Wheeling’s contract to host the games is up after the 2015 season. Dolan said he’ll spend the rest of the year working with Ray to identify his priorities. He’s already advancing the work of the SSAC’s sports medicine committee. Under Ray, the SSAC passed a regulation designed to protect athletes from sports-related concussions and keep those who have them from returning to the field prematurely. Head coaches for all sports in middle and high schools must receive training on how to recognize concussions and how to deal with them. URG From Page 6 team,” Meyer said.

Yates had a three-run homer to highlight the second inning uprising, while Flores, Tamane and Ford contributed runscoring singles. The RedStorm tacked on four more runs in the third thanks to a leadoff home run by senior Malduino Gonzalez (Caracas, Venezuela), an RBI double by senior Kevin Arroyo (Toa Baja, Puerto Rico), a run-scoring single by Yates and an RBI fielder’s choice grounder by Tamane.

You can go to the offensive backfield and you’ve got Ezekiel Elliott returning and that excites you. “You can go to a receiving corps with Mike Thomas and all those other pieces we have out there. You’ve got Jalin Marshall. And that’s not even talking about the position (quarterback) you guys all want to talk about. I couldn’t be more excited about this team, this offensive unit and where we could be in the fall,” he said. The absence of so many starters opened the door for several newcomers to show what they could do. And in some cases to not show what they could do under pressure. Redshirt freshman receiver Terry McLaurin caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from Collier. Sophomore receiver Noah Brown had an eye-catching one-handed catch. Meyer pointed to a 3-yard touchdown reception by redshirt freshman Parris Campbell as an example of a young player stepping forward. “I called him out. I said, ‘I need you to win the game right here. I need you to score. He put his left foot in the ground, made a great cut and scored. I asked a couple guys to make a play and they didn’t. Now I have to find out why,” he said. Before moving on to next year, Ohio State will have one more reminder of its national championship season when it goes to the White House to be honored by President Barack Obama on Monday.

Jimenez hit the first of his two home runs with one out in the fifth to make it 13-0 before the RedStorm set the final score with a nine-run sixth inning explosion. Jimenez had a three-run home run to highlight the frame, while Noel and Blackburn both had two-run singles and Wilburn had a pair of run-scoring hits. Meanwhile, sophomore left-hander Brandon Stevens (Louisa, KY) stymied the Knights for most of the day, limiting the visitors to just three singles and no walks over eight innings. He also fanned a career-high 10 en route to his second win in as many decisions this season. Matt Glass started and took the loss for Central Penn, allowing 13 hits and 12 runs over three innings.
