Life is a
beautiful
ride
By Beth Sergent

POMEROY — The Meigs
County Health Department
recently released its 2018 annual report detailing the services
provided, giving updates on the
programs offered and looking
back at what was accomplished
during the year.
“2018 was a very successful year at the Meigs County
Health Department (MCHD),”
stated Health Commissioner
Marc Barr in his message.
Among the recent successes
was the submission of accreditation documentation.
“The continued public support, and the driven work
ethic of the MCHD employees,
allowed for submission of the
State-mandated accreditation
documents ahead of schedule,”
stated Barr.
Administrator Courtney Midkiff touched on the resilience
of the agency. Midkiff deﬁned
resilience as constancy, tough-

a professional dance couple from
Charleston, W.Va. performing several
of the dances on stage in front of
the 50-member band. Many of the
dances will feature latin rhythms the
audience will enjoy. As in past concerts, video will be shown throughout the concert highlighting the
musical program.

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Life can be a
beautiful ride but that
doesn’t mean the road
will be smooth.
“Life is a Beautiful
Ride” is this year’s theme
for National Donate Life
Month, a time of year
meant to raise awareness
about the importance
of organ donation. Each
year, Pleasant Valley
Hospital, in partnership
with the Center for Organ
Recovery and Education
(CORE), host an observance featuring remarks
by those affected by organ
donation.
PVH CEO Glen Washington gave opening
remarks and introduced
each speaker at this
week’s ceremony, including Jane Layton.
Layton spoke about
her journey to receive a
kidney, after being ill for
ﬁve years in a battle that
included diabetes. She
was diagnosed in stage
four kidney failure and
then end stage. In January 2015 she began dialysis but afterward had a
heart attack that required
a signiﬁcant bypass and
therefore wasn’t able to
go on the transplant list
for another year. She
eventually made it onto
the list, calling it “a process.” There were more
ups and downs, including hope from a friend
who wanted to donate a
kidney but then had unexpected health issues that

From page 1

derailed that plan. Legally
blind from the diabetes,
Layton couldn’t drive and
many days didn’t feel well
enough to do what most
healthy people take for
granted.
She said a church
friend told her “it’s okay
to pray for your own
miracle.” Three weeks
after these prayers, she
received the call from The
Ohio State University
Medical Center where
she received her kidney.
“I was never afraid,
I was never worried …
God had this..all signs
pointed that God had
this,” she said. “…the
doctor came out and said
it (the kidney) ‘started
to work before we got it
completely hooked up.
We think it’s perfect.’ It
had to be God.”
Layton’s recovery
was best-case scenario,
expecting to be in the
hospital 10 days but only
staying four. She spoke
about the second chance
on life she’d been given,
to spend time with her
husband and son and to
live a normal life.
“Without that donor,
I don’t know how long
I would’ve had,” she
explained. “My life has
totally changed thanks to
someone who just cared
enough to donate.”
Karen Jodon, diagnosed with a genetic
disease that can cause
irreversible damage to the
lungs and liver, ended up
with cirrhosis of the liver.
The only way to overcome that grim prognosis
is through a liver transplant, which she received
in May 2016, following a
diagnosis that happened
in March 2015.
She lost a brother in
2014 to cirrhosis and
the same genetic condition that caused it. Due

early on to “not lay down
and cry” about the hand
she’d been dealt. She and
her family instead put
“faith in God,” echoing
the sentiments of her fellow donor recipients.
“This year’s theme for
Donate Life is ‘Life is a
Beautiful Ride’…I look
at it like, life truly is a
beautiful ride…we’ve got
mountains that we’ve got
to climb…we have bumps
in the road, especially in
West Virginia, that we
have to go over, but if it
weren’t for those bumps
and weren’t for those
hills we had to climb, we
wouldn’t appreciate and
enjoy the beauty around
us,” Brandy said. “It’s
those small things.”
Leading the invocation
and prayers was Pastor John Holland with
remarks from Christy
Conley, Community Outreach Coordinator CORE
Liaison. Members of
the color guard from the
American Legion Post
#23 of Point Pleasant,
assisted with the ﬂag
raising ceremony outside

As Jodon had put it, “I

Then, Brandy Barkey
Sweeney shared her
experience with receiving a heart transplant.
Sweeney, a strong
advocate for organ donation, had a rare type of
heart failure in 2014
during her pregnancy
with daughter Braylon.
The diagnosis left her a
mother of three young
children with a plethora
of unknowns on the
horizon. That horizon
became much brighter
after receiving the heart
of a hero, but there were
a few bumps along that
“beautiful ride.”

decline in her health, she
was ﬂown to the hospital
in Virginia, where she was
told she was too weak for
a transplant. Following
some care to get her more
stable and stronger for an
eventual transplant, she
was sent home but still
discouraged. She said her
sister was told by medical professionals, she had
possibly two weeks to
live…though her sister
never shared this news
with her. She said her
sister insisted “God’s got
this.”
“At that point, I was
too week, I know God
was there but I was too
weak to carry myself to
God, I had to depend on
the prayers of others,” she
said.
Following many
prayers, Jodan ﬁnally
received the call and she
went back to Virginia
where she was told a
perfect match was found.
Jodan said she was rejoicing but aware another
family was feeling something much different.
“It’s not fair to be so
happy that I’m going to
live and this person sacriﬁced his life,” she said of
that mix of emotions.
Like Layton, Jodon’s
recovery went smoothly

to other complicationss,
he was unable get on the
donor list. She began to
have troubling symptoms
but with memories of
her brother’s death, was
hesitant to go to the doctor at ﬁrst. Her fear was
conﬁrmed and she ended
up in end stage liver failure, followed by a rapid
decline in her health.
She said she couldn’t
eat well, she was exhausted all the time and after
27 years of working at
one place, she had to
make the “difﬁcult decision” to step away from
her job.
After much research,
she found the “only
answer” was a transplant
but “getting on a list
turned out to be very
difﬁcult.” After feeling
drawn to the University
of Virginia Medical Center, she was able to get on
a waiting list there, but
the wait was discouraging
due to her disease’s progression.
“Things were progressing so rapidly, I didn’t feel
I could make it,” she said.
“My family is my world. I
just thought, I can’t give
them up.”

THEIR VIEW

It’s showtime for
Sunny Yellow
Forsythias
The ﬁrst warm days of spring awaken drifts of
cheerful yellow forsythia, one of the ﬁrst shrubs
to bloom each year. Managing these sprawling
plants for best bloom, trying to keep
them neat and orderly, is a challenge
for many gardeners. If you like your
shrubs neat, tidy, and clipped into
geometric shapes, forsythia probably
isn’t the shrub for you.
The fact is that shearing is simply
bad for forsythias, for several reaSteve
sons. A major one is that forsythias
Boehme
form their ﬂower buds during the
Contributing summer and fall, so shearing them
columnist
during dormancy (the right time to
trim most other shrubs) removes
most of the ﬂower buds. Forsythias
should be pruned immediately after blooming, and
not at any other time.
Shearing forsythias at any time is poor practice
because pruning cuts should be made immediately
above outward-facing buds, so that new stems will
grow outward and not toward the center of the
plant. Shears leave stubs. Pruners or loppers are
the best tool for pruning forsythias.
Forsythias naturally grow in long, drooping
suckers, making a casual fan or fountain shape.
Where the tips of branches touch the ground, they
will often take root and form a new plant. The
technical name for this is “soil layering”, and you
probably should discourage it or the bush will
gradually take over your entire yard.
All your pruning cuts should be made close to
the base of the plant, starting with the oldest and
fattest canes. This is because forsythias eventually stop ﬂowering on old wood. Thinning out old
canes encourages new ones and gets rid of branches that are rubbing together.
Extremely old forsythia bushes beneﬁt from
being cut completely down to the ground. We call
this the “bush hog approach”. Making the plant
start over will help it grow more evenly and gracefully, and once the new suckers get through their
ﬁrst year the plant will bloom much more heavily.
It’s a good idea to feed the plant whenever you
prune it or cut it back. It’s also an opportunity to
get rid of sapling trees and other invaders that
have gotten started under the spreading branches.
If you mulch heavily, the forsythia will get a head
start and shade out weeds.
Because they colonize and spread by soil layering, forsythias can be a problem solver on steep
banks and rough areas that are hard to mow. They
do best in full sun. An informal hedge of forsythia
is a great privacy screen, and aside from occasional thinning it doesn’t need much attention.
We often see forsythias that have been sheared
into balls and squares. Usually this practice results
in an ugly, lopsided plant with bare patches where
there should be blooms at this time of year. It’s
better to let the plant ﬁll out and droop naturally,
as long as you’ve allowed enough space for it.
There are compact and low-growing forsythia
varieties, but most forsythia hybrids need a six to
eight-foot circle to reach their potential.
We like to say that if you want a low maintenance landscape you might have to change your
ideal of beauty. There’s no better example of this
than forsythia.

Today is Tuesday, April 9, the 99th day of 2019.
There are 266 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On April 9, 1968, funeral services, private and
public, were held for Martin Luther King Jr. at the
Ebenezer Baptist Church and Morehouse College
in Atlanta, ﬁve days after the civil rights leader
was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.
On this date
In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.
In 1913, the ﬁrst game was played at Ebbets
Field, the newly built home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0.
In 1939, singer Marian Anderson performed a
concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,
D.C., after being denied the use of Constitution
Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
In 1940, during World War II, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway.
In 1942, during World War II, some 75,000
Philippine and American defenders on Bataan
surrendered to Japanese troops, who forced the
prisoners into what became known as the Bataan
Death March; thousands died or were killed en

the chill of early morning has lost its bite. I’m
ecstatic over the real

Suddenly — wonderfully — I’m faced with
the dilemma of choosing my day’s outdoor
adventure. Do I grab the
photo pack and tripod
and go wildﬂowering
or birding? How about
a long hike — muddy
trails be danged! Maybe
I should take a tote sack
and try gathering a mess
of greens, or perhaps
even a few early mushrooms?

somewhat, on water

Dear Editor,
If you had the chance to save
one of your neighbor’s lives, would
you? Right now, nine people in
Meigs County are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, along with
300 others in Central Ohio. Their
only hope of survival is through the
generous gift of an organ donor.
This April is National Donate
Life Month, and I ask you to consider the life-saving legacy you can
leave through organ, eye and tissue

donation.
Myths and misconceptions often
prevent people from registering
to be organ donors. I urge you to
learn the facts about donation, register your decision and share your
decision with your family.
The truth is registering to be
an organ donor will never stop a
medical team from saving your life.
Organ donation will not change
your ability to have an open casket
at your funeral. And organ, eye and
tissue donation is possible even if
you have a serious medical condition.
Organ donation provides the
only hope of survival for nine

of your neighbors – and nearly
114,000 people nationwide – who
won’t survive without a life-saving
transplant. One person can save
the lives of eight others by registering to be an organ donor and heal
more than 50 people through tissue donation. And that one person
could be you.
Register to be an organ, eye
and tissue donor today. Say “yes”
to donation at the BMV, register

US declares Iran force a foreign terrorist organization
By Matthew Lee
AP Diplomatic Writer

WASHINGTON — The
United States on Monday
designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps a
foreign terrorist organization, an unprecedented
declaration against a
foreign government that
may prompt retaliation
and make it harder for
American diplomats and
military ofﬁcers to work
with allies in the region.
It is the ﬁrst time that
the U.S. has designated
an entity of another government as a terrorist
organization, placing a
group with vast economic
resources that answers
only to Iran’s supreme
leader in the same category as al-Qaida and the
Islamic State.
“This unprecedented
step, led by the Department of State, recognizes
the reality that Iran is
not only a state sponsor
of terrorism, but that the
IRGC actively participates in, ﬁnances and promotes terrorism as a tool

had also raised concerns
about the impact of the
designation if the move
did not allow contact
with other foreign ofﬁcials who may have met
with or communicated
with Guard personnel.
Those concerns have in
part dissuaded previous
administrations from taking the step, which has
been considered for more
than a decade.
Critics of the hardline
policy also see it as a prelude to conﬂict.

WELLSTON, Ohio — An unfortunate turn for the
worst.
The Gallia Academy softball team was three outs
away from its third consecutive win, but host Wellston
plated three runs in the home half of the seventh en
route to a 3-2 victory Saturday in a non-conference
matchup in Jackson County.
The visiting Blue Angels (2-7) took a 1-0 lead in the
third as Malerie Stanley doubled home Alex Barnes,
then Hailey Ehman singled home Bailie Young with
two outs in the fourth for a two-run advantage.
The Lady Rockets — who mustered only three baserunners through ﬁve innings — left runners stranded
at the corners in the bottom of the sixth, but found
their offensive rhythm when it was needed most.
Molly Smith started the rally with a leadoff walk,
then Brailey Rainer and Sydney Spencer followed
with consecutive singles that allowed Smith to come
home for a 2-1 contest. Rainer and Spencer also
moved up a base on the late throw to get Smith at the
plate.
With nobody out and a pair of runners in scoring
position, nine-hole hitter Emily Kisor fouled off three
consecutive pitches after falling behind 1-2.
The seventh offering, however, saw Kisor bloop
a single into right ﬁeld that plated both Rainer and
Spencer for a victory in walkoff fashion.
The Blue Angels outhit WHS by a sizable 10-5 overall margin, but also committed the only two errors of
the contest. The hosts stranded six runners on base,
while the Blue and White left seven on the bags.
Gallia Academy left runners in scoring position in
the ﬁrst, second, third and ﬁfth frames, plus had a
runner thrown out at the plate in the top of the third.
Smith was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two earned runs and 10 hits over seven innings
while striking out six. Ehman took the tough-luck loss
after surrendering three earned runs, four hits and a
walk over six-plus frames while fanning three.
Bailey Meadows entered in the seventh and faced
only Kisor in that short stint of relief for Gallia Academy.
Young paced the guests with three hits, followed by
Barnes and Chasity Adams with two safeties apiece.
Stanley, Ehman and Hunter Copley also had a safety
each in the setback.
Rainer, Spencer, Kisor, Jenna Johnston and Ashley
Compston had a hit apiece for the Lady Rockets.

“They just kept doing what
we’ve been taught to do, and
that’s guard people,” Baylor
coach Kim Mulkey said. “We

champions. That team is so

Kyle Busch grabs 8th Bristol win Tomcats
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP)
— Kyle Busch was in the
race Sunday at Bristol
Motor Speedway, so of
course, he won.
Busch grabbed his
third Cup win of the
season, eighth overall
at Bristol, and 10th this
year spanning all three
of NASCAR’s national

series. He beat his older
brother, who said if given
the chance in Sunday’s
race, he’d have wrecked
him so that Kurt Busch
was the one celebrating
in victory lane.
“He told me in victory
lane and I told him ‘You
can’t tell people you’re
going to wreck them

before you do it because
when roles are reversed
that person is going to
wreck you because you
already told them you
were going to wreck
them,’” Kyle Busch said.
“So I guess if I’m ever
running second to Kurt,
I’m going to wreck him.
I’m glad it didn’t turn out

that way.”
The Busch brothers
lined up side-by-side
on the ﬁnal restart, but
Kurt Busch had nothing to slow Kyle Busch’s
steamrolling of the competition this year. They’d
inherited the lead as the
ﬁrst in line not to pit
for tires during the 11th
caution, and it set up a
ﬁnal shootout between
Bristol’s two winningest
active drivers.
“He gave it one hell
of a ﬁght,” Kyle Busch
said. “Busch and Bristol,
sounds familiar.”
Kurt Busch is a sixtime winner at the .533mile high-banked oval
and lamented the loss
over the P.A. system.
When he said he would
have wrecked Kyle Busch,
the crowd roared and
afﬁrmed Kurt Busch’s
frustration with the ﬁnal
results. He’s emerged as
the top driver in the winless Chevrolet camp with
seven ﬁnishes of 12th or
higher in his debut with
Chip Ganassi Racing.
“That one is tough.
I really wanted to beat
him. I was going to
wreck him,” Kurt Busch
said. “Figure he could
give a little love to his
brother. I wanted that
one bad. Feel like him
right now — I’m all mad
because I didn’t win.”
The wins go to Kyle
Busch, seemingly all the
time this season, in anything he drives. Along
with teammate Denny
Hamlin, they’ve given
Joe Gibbs Racing ﬁve
wins through the ﬁrst
eight races. If a Gibbs car
doesn’t win, then a Ford
from Team Penske has,
and that organization has
the other three Cup victories this year.

Wahama, 5-2
By Bryan Walters

GLOUSTER, Ohio — Too little, too late.
The Wahama baseball team was limited to two
hits over ﬁve scoreless innings before tacking on a
pair of late runs Friday night during a 5-2 setback
to host Trimble in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Athens County.
The White Falcons (8-3, 5-2 TVC Hocking)
struggled to ﬁnd any offensive rhythm as the
guests mustered only one baserunner through
two frames before producing back-to-back twoout singles in the third — with that rally ending
unsuccessfully.
WHS managed only one more baserunner in its
next two innings at the plate, all while the Tomcats built a ﬁve-run cushion.
Jonathan Frye and Byron Roush turned a single
and a walk in to a pair of scores in the top of the
sixth, thanks to consecutive errors — with Tanner
Smith knocking in both runs on the ﬁnal miscue.
The guests went down in order in the seventh,
allowing THS to wrap up the three-run decision.
Rossiter singled home Brooks in the ﬁrst for
a permanent advantage, then a trio of Wahama
errors allowed both Brooks and Rossiter come
home in the third for a 3-0 edge.
Brooks walked to start the bottom of the ﬁfth,
then moved to third on a double by Hooper. Rossiter reached on an error that plated both Brooks
and Hooper — extending the lead out to 5-0.
Trimble outhit the White Falcons by a 5-3 overall margin and both teams committed ﬁve errors
apiece. THS stranded ﬁve runners on base, while
Wahama left only four on the bags.
Rossiter went the distance for the win, allowing two unearned runs, three hits and a walkover
seven innings while striking out 11. Cooper Peters
took the loss after surrendering three runs (one
earned), three hits and one walk over four frames
while fanning three.
Frye led the White Falcons with two hits and
also scored a run. David Hendrick provided the
other safety in the setback.
Brooks, Hooper, Rossiter, Naqucki and Wisor
had a hit each for Trimble. Brooks scored three
times, while Rossiter provided the lone RBI.
Wahama hosted Miller on Monday and returns
to action Wednesday when it travels to Wirt County for a non-conference contest at 5:30 p.m.

Pittsburgh Pirates top Reds
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Yasiel Puig
looked eager to take a big swing. And
not with a bat, either.
An enraged Puig barreled into a
bunch of Pirates during a bench-clearing fracas Sunday, and was among ﬁve
ejections in Pittsburgh’s 7-5 victory
over the Cincinnati Reds.
The trouble started in the fourth
inning when Pirates starter Chris
Archer threw his ﬁrst pitch behind the
waist of Derek Dietrich. His previous

time up, Dietrich dropped the bat and
stood to admire his 436-foot home
run clear the fence atop the Clemente
Wall and bounce into the Allegheny
River.
Dietrich froze in the batter’s
box when Archer’s 93 mph fastball
whizzed by. Plate umpire Jeff Kellogg
warned both benches and new Reds
manager David Bell jogged from the
dugout to the inﬁeld, arguing Archer
should’ve been ejected.
