In remembrance of sacrifices, service Veterans Day ceremony in Pomeroy By Lorna Hart Special to OVP POMEROY, Ohio — “Today is a time of remembrance, a time to express gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices our veterans have made,” Army Chaplain Lieutenant Colonel Mark Mitera began. “Their service has ensured our safety and freedom.” He said the seven Army Values, loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage can be summed up by the words Jesus spoke, “Love one another as I have loved you.” “As an Army Chaplain, I encourage people to remember the ways of God and put them into practice, to always strive to do the right thing, to walk in love, to meet one another’s needs, to not just say the words, but to put love into action.” Examples of the application of this philosophy include looking for an opportunity to extend love by a kind word, helping someone out physically or financially, or to honor a veteran in Pomeroy Veterans Day Ceremony presenters, from left to right, American Legion Post 39 member Dan Arnold, Post 39 Ladies Auxiliary Chairperson Joann Newsome, Post 39 Commander John Hood, Post 39 member Jerry Fredrick, and keynote speaker Army Chaplin Lieutenant Colonel Mark Mitera pictured with the “Ragged Old Flag.” need. Mitera said while ministering in a Baghdad emergency room, he witnessed the love the staff had for their patients, and their emotional response when they lost one of them. “The love the staff had for their patients was apparent,” he said. “I saw the lengths the doctors and nurses took to save the life of a soldier injured in a roadside bomb, and when they couldn’t save him, I saw the tears they shed as that soldier passed. That was love in action.” Mitera was on activeduty service for a total of 26 years, and spent another seven years in the Army reserves. During his time of active duty, he served in the United States Air Force from January 1983 to July 1988 as an Air Force architect. Mitera was also a rifle instructor. After becoming a chaplain, he served in Bagdad, and spent two years ministering at the United States Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He is now the pastor of three United Methodist Churches, Carmel Sutton, Bethany, and Morning Star, in Racine, Ohio.

Ohio Valley Publishing World Child Abuse Prevention Day is Nov. 19 November 19th is World Child Abuse Prevention Day. Developed and launched in 2000, this day is dedicated to raise awareness on child abuse and neglect. The Women’s World Summit (WWSA) and the American Psychological Association (APA) led the development in collaboration with other agencies and governments. The following data was released by the APA/WWSA: · In 2004, an estimated 3 million children were alleged to have been victims of physical, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, and death. After investigations, almost 900,000 of these victims were found to have been victims of child maltreatment. · In the USA, children are more likely to die from violence and neglect than from accidents. Child violence permanently disables 18,000 children and youth every year and seriously injures 565,000. · Violence and neglect against children kill more than 3 children every Meigs day in America. Most of the children Health who die are younger than six years Matters of age. Of these fatalities, 85% were under the age of six; 44% of the chilAngella dren were under the age of one. Rosler, RN · Almost 80% of the perpetrators are parents.” According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 in 7 children experienced abuse or neglect in 2020 and 1,878 died as a result of abuse or neglect in 2019 in the United States. The Mayo clinic defines child abuse as any intentional harm to a child, but many times families are raised in generational abuse that is normalized. Children, by nature, imitate behaviors from their parents and are then raised to repeat those patterns with their own off spring. Examples may be corporal punishments, yelling, belittling, guilting, and even sexual type behaviors. The following are clarifications to differing types of abuse per the Ohio Revised Code (ORC): Physical Abuse- is an act where one person uses their body in order to inflict intentional harm or injury upon another person Emotional Abuse- when a person causes a child to lose self-esteem due to maltreatment such as belittling, yelling, rejecting or isolating a child. Sexual Abuse- any kind of sexual behaviors with a minor including inappropriate touching/ fondling, oral-genital contact, intercourse or any type of sexual exploitation including child pornography. Medical Abuse- a parent’s failure to provide adequate medical or dental care for their child, especially when it is needed to treat a serious physical injury or illness. In some cases, this can also include a failure to provide for psychiatric care if the child needs it. Also, some jurisdictions may hold other parties liable for medical neglect, such as custodians or guardians who have a legal duty to care for the child. Neglect- when a caregiver does not provide adequate shelter, food, safety, supervision, affection or medical care to a child. In 1997 a two-year study was conducted leading to the development of what we now refer to as ‘ACE’s’ (adverse childhood experiences) linking childhood experiences to future health and behavioral issues. The ACE study continues to gain current information as years progress, linking childhood experiences such as parental death, substance abuse, or witnessing violence as a link to many conditions later in life. An adverse childhood experience (ACE) can be as simple as a child experiencing their parents go through a divorce. The foundational conclusion is that our development, as children, is affected by the situations we encounter or experience. With that study in mind, child abuse plays an enormous role in the development of a child. The Center for Disease Control has conducted a survey that determined 61% of adults (in 25 states) experienced at least 1 ACE in their childhood. 1 in 6 of those surveyed reported 4 or more ACEs. The APA has developed ‘ACT- Adults and Children Together- Against Violence’ initiative that includes parenting classes and education for families and communities. There are currently government funds aimed at the prevention of ACEs to reduce the strain on communities and future healthcare costs. It is estimated by the CDC that 1.9 million cases of heart disease and 21 million cases of depression could have been potentially avoided by preventing ACEs. Working toward preventing ACEs is great for future generations, but what about preventing abuse NOW? There are many agencies working toward prevention of child abuse with many safe guards in place. Integrated Services assists families in parenting skills and even parenting classes. Many other local agencies assist in helping families navigate in difficult times. Child Protective Services (CPS) are constantly doing what they can to protect and keep families together and children safe. Licensed healthcare workers are mandated reporters, meaning if they even suspect any type of child abuse, they are required by law to report it. Although CPS can sometimes be viewed negatively, they are dedicated to a child’s safety and have the child’s best interest in mind. In conclusion, I hope that you now realize the importance of a community effort to prevent child abuse. What a child experiences early in life can predict their future health, behavior and future contributions to society.

Brian Liming, 44, of Caesarcreek, was also found guilty of tampering with evidence and misdemeanor charges of hunting without a license and hunting without a deer permit, Clinton County prosecutors said Thursday. Liming shot Kevin Behr, a 25-year veteran of the department, last December. Behr was among a group of ODNR officers investigating the poaching complaint, but no other officers were injured in the shooting. Behr testified at trial that his pelvis was shattered and many of his internal organs were damaged. Liming and two other men were in a pickup truck looking for deer when they spotted a buck in a wooded area, authorities said. Liming fired a shot that was intended to chase out the buck, but instead the bullet struck Behr, according to court documents. Behr called to Liming to stop shooting and asked him to call 911 to summon medical aid. But prosecutors said Liming discarded his weapon and didn’t make the call before he fled. Behr was soon helped by fellow officers and other first responders. Liming was found walking down a nearby road shortly after the shooting occurred and denied any involvement in the incident, authorities said. He also claimed to be pursuing the shooter. Behr remained hospitalized through March and underwent numerous surgeries, and must walk with the aid of two walking sticks. TODAY the holiday season.

Browns’ star running back Nick Chubb will miss Sunday’s game against the Patriots after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this week and then not passing protocols in time to be eligible to play. Coach Kevin Stefanski ruled out Chubb along with rookie punt returner Demetric Felton following Friday’s practice. The Browns (5-4) had held out hope that Chubb, who is third in the NFL with 721 yards despite missing two games with a calf injury, would be available to face the Patriots (5-4) after testing positive on Tuesday. However, he needed to be symptom free and twice test negative. And the first negative test had to be no later than Friday because players must be activated from the reserve/ COVID-19 list by Saturday at 4 p.m. to be eligible. A two-time Pro Bowler, and one of the NFL’s best backs, Chubb ran for 137 yards and scored two touchdowns, one a 70-yard run in which he clocked 21.1 mph breaking away from Cincinnati’s secondary, in a 41-16 rout last week. It’s nothing new for the Browns to be down a player or two with injuries, but it’s different when it’s a player of Chubb’s stature. “He’s one of the very best running backs in the league,” said 2020 AllPro defensive end Myles Garrett. “Of course, it will be different, but it’s next man up. Draw up different plays. We will try to do things a little bit differently for the men we have to create big plays rushing the ball on the offense. “I don’t think we will miss a beat because of the guys we have, but it’s just different not having such a dominant force out there.” With Chubb out and Kareem Hunt still on injured reserve and not ready, D’Ernest Johnson will make his second start Sunday. It’s a familiar role for Johnson, who rushed for a careerhigh 146 yards and scored in a win over the Denver Broncos in his first start on Oct. 21. “We have talked about him over the course of the last few games, and he showed in that Denver game where he had to carry the load and did a nice job,” Stefanski said of Johnson. “Our expectations for that room don’t change.” While Johnson is a solid back, he’s not Chubb, and the Browns may not be able to rely on their top-ranked (160.2 yards per game) running game. Belichick typically tries to eliminate what a team does best, so the Patriots will likely bring extra defenders closer to the line of scrimmage and force quarterback Baker Mayfield to throw more. Mayfield’s coming off a solid game — 14 of 21 for 218 yards and two TDs — but he’s also playing with an injured left shoulder and sore left foot, which limited his practice time earlier in the week. Notes: Garrett laughed and said he’s ready in case Patriots QB Mac Jones grabs him around the ankle like he did to Carolina’s Brian Burns last week. “If I tackle him or I sack him and I let him grab me, honestly, that’s on me,” Garrett said. “I’m not saying it’s on Brian. He didn’t expect it. But now we’ve all seen it. Now I know to get my behind up and get out the way.” ... DE Takk McKinley (groin) will miss Sunday’s game. ... Rookie LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah came through practice after missing three games with a high ankle sprain. The Browns have to activate him from injured reserve by Saturday evening for him to play.

The paving bid came later due to the fluctuating cost of asphalt. At this week’s ribbon cutting, Governor Justice also spoke about the contribution of the Roads to Prosperity program in regards to assisting in completing the project. According to a news release from the governor’s office, “Completion of the project will now allow travelers to utilize a safe highway to accommodate increased traffic demands in the area. Motorists will be able to drive on smooth, fourlane pavement for 37 consecutive miles, beginning at the Interstate 64 exit at Scott Depot and continuing straight through to Point Pleasant and the Ohio state line, heading toward Columbus.” “I used to hunt around here all the time years ago. I would drive 35, and at times it seemed a little dangerous. I’ve always thought, if there was ever a place that needed a bigger road, it’s this,” Gov. Justice said. “What a great day. To say I’m elated is a total understatement,” Senator Capito said. “I want to thank you, Governor Justice, and your Transportation Secretary, Jimmy Wriston, for the hard work, for the dedication. Obviously, Roads to Prosperity is working. We see it here today and we’re extremely grateful. It’s exciting to think about the safety. It’s exciting to think about the ease of transportation and the ease of moving cargo… This is a major, major thoroughfare and I’m very excited.” “When I was governor…we started working. All but 15 miles were completed by 2010. This was a tough one. But we worked and worked and worked, and committed ourselves to getting this done, and Governor [Justice], making that commitment, it takes all of us working together to put the commitment to making this final product,” Senator Manchin said. “Congratulations to all of those who have been so involved in making this Photos by Beth Sergent | OVP A shot of Thursday’s U.S. 35 ceremony with chairs and the podium assembled on the southbound lanes prior to opening to traffic.

It’s going to save a lot of people’s lives. And I’m so grateful.” “It’s such an honor to be able to see this road that is so well-traveled become safer and better to drive,” Congresswoman Miller said. “You all who live here know the accidents that we’ve had for many, many years, and I think this is going to cut those way, way down…I want to thank our great governor, Jim Justice, for making the completion of U.S. 35 possible. With his $2.8 billion Roads to Prosperity bond, he got it done. He worked hard to get it done, and I’m so proud that he had the vision to push through.” Miller also recognized Clif Farley, project supervisor for U.S. 35 for WVDOH who was also retiring. Farley was presented with a special American flag. In addition to creating 10 new bridges and a new interchange where U.S. Route 35 meets WV 869, the project required a completely new alignment for the highway.

For Handley, who served on the Blue Ribbon Commission on Highways and was invited to the State of the State address by former Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin back on Jan. 14, 2015 when it was first announced the road would be completed, the most important reason to finish U.S. 35 was “safety,” and he remembered the loss of life on the highway over several decades. Handley, along with many others at the ceremony, also recognized the “team effort” by so many people on the project over the years, including the late Jack Fruth and Charles Lanham. Lynne Fruth and Eddie Lanham were asked to join in the ribbon cutting on behalf of their respective late fathers.
