Between 1995 and 1997, Kaiser-Permanente, a healthcare consortium, surveyed over 17,000 of its own employees to examine how their childhood experiences impacted their lives as adults. The bottom line of the survey was that there was a connection between how much adversity someone faced in childhood and risk factors for health in adulthood. In short, childhood experiences such as child abuse, neglect, violence and other challenges in the home, such as family disruptions caused by substance abuse and mental illness, can lead to emotional problems and health-risk behaviors. These behaviors can then lead to disease and social problems, even resulting in earlier death. Researchers have discovered that ACEs are common and about 64 percent of adults in the United States have some. ACEs are linked with diseases such as cancer, heart disease and mental illness. A person’s ACE “score” (derived from a simple Adverse Childhood Experience assessment) is similar to a cholesterol score, but measures for trauma in childhood. Someone with an ACE score of 4 is twice as likely to be a smoker and 7 times as likely to be an alcoholic. By having a score of 4 or more, there is a 400 percent increase in the chances of having cares, they have lung problems and membership in a a 1,200 percent Amy group like church increase in the like- Sisson lihood of attempted Contributing or Boy Scouts, and they grow up suicide. columnist knowing that they Violence, multihave value, they ple marriages, and autoimmune disease were are more likely to not be plagued by the unforalso higher with higher tunate results of ACEs.

Strong support from educators, healthcare, and social institutions can help children recover. For adults who have ACEs, we can provide the emotional support and relationships they need to heal. People do recover, but they need caring relationships in order to do so. People need to know that they are not going to just “get over” the traumatic loss they have experienced. But they are going to go on; they can learn and grow from the adverse experiences and lead a healthy life. They just need the support in place to help them do so.

Va. Dreams, cars and a mountain vacation were on my mind, when Grandson Jack, a new teenager, came for a visit this past weekend. I was relaxed, rested and tanned, looking forward to his visit. Jack and I joke all the time about interpreting dreams, so he brought me a book titled, “50 dream interpretations and themes” we could enjoy during his time with us. Jack has a variety of interests, as young men sometimes do, but his prime love at this time is super cars. His dad bought an impressive Mustang a couple years ago, which had aroused Jack’s appetite for nice cars. This weekend he and I traveled to Columbus for the Columbus International Car Show, where a ﬁne-car aﬁcionado might heighten his automobile dreams. We ﬁrst traveled to Dublin to the “Million Dollar Mile” where ﬁve or six luxury auto dealerships were located. The dealers had every “super car” imaginable. We saw several McLarens, a Ferrari, two Lamborghinis, a blue Porsche convertible, a silver Lotus, along with a Rolls Royce and Lexus models. “Grandpa, do you think I could sit in the Lamborghini?” Jack asked. The Pat Haley salesperson overhead Jack’s question Contributing and said, “Sure, son. Hop in and take columnist some pictures if you like.” Jack slid into the driver’s seat and I slipped along side him on the other side. It was a warm and bright afternoon in the showroom as we pretended to pull out of the display room and turn south on Interstate 71, heading toward Lexington, Kentucky. As we crossed the Brent Spence Bridge into Kentucky I asked Jack how the car was handling. “Smooth as silk, Grandpa. Smooth as silk.” Twenty minutes later we were approaching Walton, Kentucky. We stopped near our favorite spot along the railroad to watch trains. It wasn’t long before a CSX freight train blew its whistle and approached our crossing. The engineer saw us sitting in the Lamborghini and gave us several toots of his horn. “Look, Grandpa. There’s Lexington,” Jack said, as we pulled into the driveway of Leestown School. Just as we pulled in front of the building, the bell rang and hundreds of Jack’s classmates came running out and made a direct route to the Lamborghini. Finally, it was time to leave. As we slowly started to pull away, Jack downshifted the smooth machine. “Grandpa, I want to take you somewhere ﬁrst,” Jack said. “Where are we going?” I asked. “Let’s go see Jesco White in West Virginia!” Jack replied. Jack had heard his dad, Greg, talk about Jesco White, the “Dancing Outlaw”, and wanted to go see him down in the hollers of West Virginia. I said okay, and we were quickly on our way. Jesco White was born in Bandytown, a tiny community located in the Appalachian Mountains of Boone County. White’s father was a mountain Flatfoot and Tap dancer, and Jesco was following in his footsteps, so to speak, before his dad’s untimely death. Jack slowly pulled the Lamborghini around mountain curve after mountain curve until we came to a worn and battered-down house sitting across a creek that we had to drive through to get to the residence. The White homeplace was hard to describe. There were old skinny coon dogs, barking at an invisible moon. Sitting in the front yard were four old junk cars. One was rusted, with all the windows broken out. “Jack, how are you doing? Long time no see,” Jesco said, as he stumbled out the front door. I see you have Grandpa Pat with you,’ I looked a Jack. “How does he know us”?” Jack shrugged. “Boys, that’s a mighty ﬁne looking machine. I have one just like it in the garage. Do you mind if I give it a spin?” Jesco asked, as Jack and I looked at each other uneasily. “Okay Jesco, but just around the yard,” I said. Jack and I got out of the car, and Jesco slipped behind the wheel and quickly sped down the highway. Twenty minutes later, Jesco’s brother showed up. We asked him if he had seen Jesco. “Yes. He is down at the river near the auto compactor. He just had a car he was driving shredded for cash.” Jack and I looked at each other and almost fainted. About that time, Jesco pulled up into the front yard, laughing and yelling. “Boys, that was just a joke. You have a mighty ﬁne car there,” he said as we hopped back into the Lamborghini and headed back to Columbus. “Grandpa, are you awake? You fell asleep as we were siting in the car in the showroom. You were dreaming. You were yelling the name, Jesco!” Jack said. “Maybe it was the White Castle I had for lunch,” I said. “Sometimes they make you dream.” “I don’t understand,” Jack said. “You will when you get older,” I said, as I stepped on the gas and headed back to Wilmington.

THEIR VIEW The forgotten When Hurricane Michael hit the South in October 2018, it devastated Panama City, Florida, then it turned northeast and headed to Georgia. It crossed the Carolinas and Virginia. All these communities received tremendous damage. A friend of mine, who lives in Bullock County, Georgia, advised me of a very small community in southwest Georgia that lost almost their entire inner structure. This community is the county seat, with a population of around 2,500 people. It’s very small compared to the standards we are familiar with. So, imagine a village like Radnor or Ashley, in an area of about 400 square miles, and a very bad storm goes through it, destroying every major building, store, grocery, restaurant and most of the homes and schools.

And I mean no money! Where would you start? The ﬁre chief there told me that they were all still alive, and God would help them recover. I have to say that I am very blessed. I hope that the people who have lost so much are able to recover. If you pray, say a prayer for them. If you believe in other ways, send good thoughts to them. I hope everyone ﬁnds peace.

YOUR VIEW On the ‘Heartbeat Bill’ Dear Editor, I am writing this letter in regard to the Heartbeat Bill that our politicians in Ohio will be voting on soon. I do feel every woman should have the right to control her own body. Things happen, rape, incest and we should not be judging what a person wants to do in this position. I do not believe in abortion, but I also know I am not to judge on this. A person who has an abortion will have to answer to our Heavenly Father, not I. We will all have to answer to God on what we have done and what we are doing now and in our future. I do believe a person who does have an abortion will go through many trials in their life. We were put here on earth to help and take care of people in all situations. We are also told to forgive those who do wrong. I can remember many years ago when it was illegal to have an abortion and many women faced many traumas and some death, because they were not in a hospital and the surroundings were not sterile. It is so terrible that we are still ﬁghting this and if this bill is passed, we will be going backwards instead of forwards. For all the people that say they want the law, are they going to care for the infant that is born to someone who is hurt from whatever happened to them? They will have this burden to live with the rest of their lives, but I do believe Jesus will forgive them if they truly ask for forgiveness. We are blessed to have had Christ who was born and died and then rose for US all of US! I really feel our politicians are too quick to judge. They do what the party says and do not listen to their constituents. Karen Williams Rutland On behalf of the Madrigals… Dear Editor, In regards to (last Sunday’s story) “Next stop, Carnegie Hall” I just want to thank everyone who has supported us and made the “Madrigals take Manhattan” trip possible - our families, choir boosters, school and community. Because of you, we were able to see the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Broadway and, of course, Carnegie Hall. You can not imagine the lifelong memories we made thanks to all of you and we want to thank each and every one of you for the opportunity that you gave us. Thank you all!

The moves illustrate that, even as his annual spending plans seek draconian reductions in many areas, Trump is uncomfortable as a budget cutter and readily backtracks when popular programs are at stake. Democrats and environmentalists in the Great Lakes region, which includes battleground states such as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that Trump carried in 2016, were skeptical that his conversion on the restoration initiative was more than a momentary gesture to draw applause at his rally. Negotiations over Ohio gas tax increase delayed By Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — The state gas tax would rise 11 cents under a deal worked out by Gov. Mike DeWine and House Speaker Larry Householder to ﬁx deteriorating roads and bridges, but the next step in negotiations is to bring Senate Republicans on board. Those negotiations appeared stalemated Friday after the joint Congressman Bill Johnson spoke with students at Southern High School on Friday morning. Johnson From page 1A education funding. Johnson believes the government is spending money in education on many of the wrong things. He believes teachers should receive a living wage, he told the students. Johnson also believes students are not being taught how to learn and study, which is an issue he said he sees with his own 15-year-old son. Other questions the congressman received were about local farmers and prayer in school. Johnson said protecting small farms is an important issue for him. He also said he is a “big fan” of putting prayer back in schools. One student asked Johnson what he felt was the biggest issue in the nation. Johnson said he believes people have stopped thinking for themselves — that society is told what is important and how to think. The Congressman was invited to Southern High School by social studies teacher David Maxson. Naming The Blakeslee Center,” concluded Shaver.

Discussions on ﬁnding a new location for the Senior Center had been taking place for the past 25 years, noted Shaver, leading to visits to other centers for ideas. She added that there is no reason the people of Meigs County cannot have the same things that the rest of the state has. On the wish list of items were to be back in the heart of a village, a large ﬂat parking lot, and a yard. All of those things are available at the new location in Middleport. The Council on Aging is still accepting donations toward the work at The Blakeslee Center, with several levels of sponsorships available.

OHIO VALLEY HISTORY Stones with stories I’ve always believed that history is so much more than what ﬁnds its way into our history books, so much more than the great men and women that we learn about in school. In our case, our county’s Chris history is so Rizer Contributing much more than George columnist Washington, Andrew Lewis, John McCausland, or Olivia Poffenbarger. Now don’t get me wrong, their stories are extremely important. Washington surveyed this county and pushed for western settlement. Lewis commanded the Southern Army at Point Pleasant. McCausland represented the Virginia Military Institute at John Brown’s hanging, served in the Confederate Army with the ﬁnal rank of Brigadier General, and was at Cloyd’s Mountain, Petersburg, and Appomattox, among other battles. Poffenbarger was editor of the State Gazette and, while not alone, was a major ﬁgure in the campaign to have the Battle of Point Pleasant nationally recognized, eventually leading to the designation of TuEndie-Wei State Park and construction of the Battle Monument. But what of all the other people that helped build our community? What of the teachers? The blacksmiths and carpenters? The rivermen? The coal miners and salt furnace laborers and mill workers? The seamstresses? The farmers? The slaves? The doctors? If not in the history books, where do we ﬁnd their story? I tend to start in the local cemetery. Many of us know cemeteries as solemn places of ﬁnal rest, where we pay our last respects, or as a place of remembrance. I know my family, along with many more, make it Chris Rizer | Courtesy John and Katherine Ginther’s grave at Brown Cemetery. a point to visit all of the family graves on Memorial Day and put out ﬂowers. And, if your grandparents are anything like mine, you usually end up hearing a story or two about your great-greatgrandparents or an uncle or aunt that you never knew. Of course, as the family historian, that automatically makes it one of my favorite family traditions, but I do have other reasons. Two, actually. First, some unknown person once said, “So long as one person remembers, someone is never truly gone.” I just think that’s a beautiful concept. Second, it reminds you that these were once living, breathing people. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and children. They lived and worked in your community, and just from that simple fact, they played a part in its history. Starting with just the information on their headstone gives you quite a bit. What was their name? How old were they? Were they a veteran? Were they a member of any fraternal organization (Masons, Odd Fellows, Rebekahs, etc.)? From there, birth, marriage, and death records add more detail. Business directories give you their occupation. Newspapers can tell you pretty much anything, from who they visited last week to the construction of a new home or destruction of an old one. Add it all up, and you have a person’s story, a piece of the community’s story. That said, allow me to introduce you to John Ginther. Born in 1833 in Germany, he was one of the “Forty-Eighters” that came to America following the failed 1848 German Revolutions. In 1850, he joined over 30,000 other “FortyEighters” that settled in Cincinnati’s Over-theRhine district, named for the large German population. He was joined there by his father and siblings in 1852. In 1855, the family moved to Pomeroy, where John continued his iron foundry work that he had practiced in Cincinnati. It wasn’t long after, on November 10th, 1856, that he and Katherine Kauff were married. He and Katherine had seven children and lived to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 1906. In 1862, following the salt boom that accompanied the Civil War, Ginther moved his blacksmith operations to Hartford. As one of only two blacksmiths in town, he did everything. He maintained and repaired the boilers and machinery at the salt furnace, fashioned iron tools for farmers and laborers, and built many of the wrought-iron fences in town, some of which still survive. Many of these were produced by the Cincinnati Iron Fence Company and assembled by Ginther, but I suspect that the one around his own grave at Brown Cemetery was made by his own hand. He continued his trade until his retirement in 1903. Being such a crucial part of the town tends to make one well-known, and that certainly didn’t hurt when Ginther ran for town ofﬁce. He served one term as Hartford’s mayor and an impressive thirteen terms on the city council. He was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, evidenced on his tombstone by the three links representing friendship, love, and truth. John Ginther died on February 16th, 1915 of “paralysis,” also known as apoplexy or a stroke. The same killed Katherine a little less than two years later, in December of 1916.

Following the 6-3 victory, sixth-year EHS head coach Bryan Durst acknowledged some areas his squad needs to work on, but was glad a pair of seniors stepped up to save the day. “We had a good preseason, but in our season we haven’t found that consistency that we’d like to have, but we’re working on it,” Coach Durst said. “I see a lot of good things happening in practice, our swings are getting better, and once we develop that chemistry within our team and start hitting some good, hard shots, we’ll be in good shape. Luckily Mollie and Cera bailed us out tonight, both hitting home runs.” See EAGLES | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, March 31, 2019 Sunday Times-Sentinel Meigs shuts out Lady Golden Eagles, 10-0 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Defensive dominance.

With Johnson leading the way after a ﬁnalstage fast lap of 188.890 mph to get his ﬁrst pole anywhere since 2016, Hendrick Motorsports took the top three qualifying spots Friday. William Bryon was second, and Chase Elliott third.

We are looking for community members to help in our plight to spread awareness of CDH. Our goal at the Samual Zion Foundation is to do just that, spread awareness of CDH and give the best support we can to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia patients and their families. “CDH is a birth defect where there is an opening in the muscle that helps you breathe, called the diaphragm. This opening can be on the right or left side, but is most common on the left. The contents of the belly, including the stomach, spleen, liver, and intestines go up into the chest. There is little room for the lungs to grow and develop.” according to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where our son Samual Zion Eddy was born February of 2017. “CDH occurs in about 1 in 2,000-1-5,000 live births,” according to Columbia University Medical Center- DHREAMS Study. A study our Samual still is a part of, even though he received his cherub wings May-2017. “Over 1600 babies are born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia EVERY YEAR in the United States alone. With a 50% survival rate, 800 of those babies will die. Today, and every day, at least 4 families with be devastated with the news of CDH.” according to CHERUBS, the family support division of CDH International, “the world’s largest charity for CDH”. Our Samual was one of the lucky ones to get a chance to be at home, although complications of CDH only allowed us a little under four months, he was truly an amazing soul, his brother describing him as a superhero. We have created his non-proﬁt, because it isn’t over for him. To bring awareness to CDH we are asking your help with our APRIL CDH CALENDAR. Each calendar will be $30 to helping CDH patients and their families. The purchase of a calendar gives you a daily chance to win our extravagant, beautiful prizes donated by dedicated folks that share our vision in spreading awareness for CDH. The April Prize Calendar is listed below. If you do not want to help in that way, a donation helps. Our goal is to let you know about it, and hopefully you will tell someone else what you have learned if nothing else. Please know that any little thing will go a long way in what we are trying to achieve.
