Throwback Thursday: Carmel School

The Carmel School, pictured in this photo from the Meigs County Historical Society, was struck by lightening on March 25, 1913. The recent Meigs County Historical
Society newsletter gives an account of the event as written by Inez McNamee Radford, whose brother Ralph was injured. The account goes as follows, “Ralph was sitting
by the window and was badly injured with a big gash across the top of his head, a streak down his neck and across this shoulder. His arm had no skin from the shoulder
down. His hair was all burned. He had a wool coat on and there wasn’t a mark on it bit the cotton shirt sleeve underneath was in shreds. Dr. Philson said he could not
live until morning but he recognized everyone that visited. He had no feeling in his arm what was injured by the other arm pained him. He complained of his left ear
hurting but it was his right side that was injured. I (Inez) was outside doing laundry and Ralph came and asked me to look in his ear. I took a hairpin and got a hunk of
either wood or metal from his ear. He never complained any more after that. His hair grew back very think. The experience did not seem to be make him nervous about
storms after that.” Ralph was about 12 years old at the time. Other accounts of the event can be found in the Meigs County History book and in The Daily Sentinel on
the 75th anniversary of the event in 1988.

The Broadway play then
became a movie in 1955 staring Frank Sinatra and Marlon
Brando.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — No topic seemed
off limits, including tales
of back alleys and coat
hangers, as abortionrights supporters in Ohio
fought perhaps the last
battle over a twice-vetoed
heartbeat abortion ban,
which Gov. Mike DeWine
has said he will sign.
After nearly 10 years
of ﬁghting, Democrats
let loose during run-up
to ﬁnal House and Senate approval Wednesday
with lessons from slavery,
predictions of economic
harm, references to the
book of Genesis, and
testimonials about their
own rapes. Faith groups
brandished banners and
made pleas for religious
tolerance. An advocate
for reproductive rights
threatened Republicans
with the loss of young
voters’ support in 2020.
Opponents vowed to
sue.
Ohio’s closely divided
politics have slowed the
progress of the so-called
heartbeat bill as it has
caught momentum elsewhere , forcing years of
debate in the state where
the movement originated.
Five other states have
now passed similar bans,
two of which have been
blocked by the courts.
Republican Ohio Gov.
Mike DeWine, who took
ofﬁce in January, has said
he will sign the bill, after

Principals from
schools with shootings
form support network
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In the days after
a teenager shot and killed three fellow students
at Ohio’s Chardon High School in 2012, thenPrincipal Andy Fetchik remembers getting a call
from someone who knew just what he was experiencing.
It was Frank DeAngelis, the principal of Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, during
the deadly 1999 shooting. DeAngelis told him: It’s
going to be OK. You’ll get through this. If you have
questions, feel free to call me.
Fetchik called, and he found DeAngelis to be
a comfort and a resource as Chardon began its
recovery.
Now both men are part of a new network of
current and former principals who hope to offer
support to other school leaders in the aftermath of
violence.
“This is the network each of us wishes we had
when the shooting occurred in our school,” DeAngelis said in a written statement.
The Principals Recovery Network will also advocate for educational resources and policies to help
schools prevent violence. It convened this month
ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Columbine
shooting.
The group, organized by the National Association
of Secondary School Principals, includes 17 current
and former principals from schools in 11 states,
including Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
in Parkland, Florida, the site of a shooting in 2018.
Collectively, the participants have lost more than 40
students and staff and seen scores more wounded
in shootings over the past two decades.
“We’re not experts in recovery, but we’re experts
in the fact that we lived through it,” Fetchik said,
“and I think that it will provide a resource that
kind of conﬁrms to the school leader that there’s
others out there and they’re not alone.”
When a teenager shot and wounded a classmate
at West Liberty-Salem High School in 2017, leaders from two other Ohio schools that experienced
shootings reached out with valuable suggestions,
such as having an open house before resuming
classes so students and staff could ease back into
the building that some had ﬂed, Principal Greg
Johnson said.
A year later, after two students were fatally
shot and others wounded at Kentucky’s Marshall
County High School, Johnson wanted to offer help
but had trouble connecting with the principal —
understandable, he said, given the crush of communications, support and well-wishes that a school
must sort through in such circumstances. Johnson
waited months, tried again and eventually connected with the principal to share some of what
he’d learned with her, he said.
The new network gives that kind of outreach
structure and a centralized contact, participants
said.
“What better group of people to do it than the
folks who have experienced it?” said Michael Bennett, a former principal who was shot in the leg
by a student in 2004 when he was a teacher at
Columbia High School in East Greenbush, New
York.

W.Va. tax collections
fall below estimates
in month of March
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia revenue collections are $191 million ahead of estimates
with three months left in the ﬁscal year.
Gov. Jim Justice says tax collections in March
were $3.8 million lower than estimates. He says the
performance reﬂected an anticipated slowdown in
winter construction.
Justice says the state remains on track for a signiﬁcant year-end surplus. Nearly all of the current
surplus occurred in the ﬁrst six months of the ﬁscal
year.
The general revenue tax collections of $333 million last month were 1.6 percent higher than collections in March 2018.

Yoho achieves 340B Expert Designation
LOGAN — R. Logan
Yoho, Director of Pharmacy at Hopewell Health
Centers, has completed
the Apexus Advanced
340B Operations Certiﬁcate Program and is now
recognized as a 340B
Apexus Certiﬁed Expert
(ACE) in the 340B Drug
Pricing Program.
Yoho received his Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree from Ohio
Northern University in
2010. He is a graduate
of Warren High School.
He currently resides in
Pomeroy, Ohio.
The 340B Program is
a federal drug discount
program that permits
eligible hospitals, community health centers,
and clinics to purchase
outpatient prescription
drugs at signiﬁcantly
reduced discounts as
a way to extend their

scarce federal
resources within
their communities. The program is critical
to generating
savings for
America’s safety- Yoho
net hospitals and
clinics to provide programs and services for
poor and underserved
patients.
“Completing the
Advanced 340B Operations Certiﬁcate program was a difﬁcult but
rewarding achievement
that will greatly help our
organization,” said Yoho.
“The 340B program
is incredibly complex.
Completing this level
of education provides
knowledge that is vital
to implementing and
maintaining a compliant
340B program.”
The Apexus Advanced

340B Operations
Certiﬁcate Program offers specialized training for
340B eligible hospitals, community
health centers, and
other stakeholders,
and was designed
to address the 340B
Program’s most complex situations for all
340B participants. The
award winning Apexus
education program is
a 24-module online
training course. The
curriculum provides
an in-depth review of
policy around 340B
requirements and guidance on how to apply
that policy in support
of 340B operational
integrity. The education
series evaluates decision points, potential
compliance challenges,
and audit areas of focus

for each topic. The
modules also provide
real case situations that
teach learners how to
turn 340B policy into
practice.
Learners who successfully complete
the program receive a
certiﬁcate and are distinguished as experts in
the 340B Program. This
is the highest standard
of 340B learning available. A publicly available certiﬁcate-holder
lookup tool is available to validate active
340B ACE graduates.
The Advanced 340B
Operations Certiﬁcate
Program is a separate
Apexus offering that is

MEIGS BRIEF

Meigs
From page 1A

is a resident of Meigs, where he once served
as an assistant prosecutor. Now, he serves as
an assistant prosecutor in Gallia and as the
Meigs Magistrate.
“They have part-time magistrates in
Meigs,” said Fisher. “It’s a smaller county. I
part-time in Meigs and my (duties) are one
day every two weeks…All new magistrates
have to take a mandated training because we
fall under judicial rules, the same as judges.
So we have to take a mandated training like
them. We were both in Columbus for three
days.”
For three days, the pair were put through
mock settings and interactive scenarios for a
judicial position. The pair were also able to
tour the governor’s ofﬁce.
“I thought it was pretty cool because it’s
not often you get to hang out and talk about
the area (with the governor),” said Fisher.
“We had a private tour of the governor’s
ofﬁce when the Statehouse was closed. We
met Governor DeWine and he welcomed us,
gave us a tour and asked about Gallia and
Meigs…He said he has plans to head down
our way again.”
Magistrates handle hearings and duties
assigned to them by judges. Fisher serves
beneath Meigs Common Pleas Court Judge
Linda Warner and Meigs Probate and Juvenile Court Judge L. Scott Powell. Saunders
serves beneath Gallia Common Pleas Judge
Margaret Evans and Gallia Probate and Juvenile Court Judge Thomas Moulton.
Due to size differences between Gallia
and Meigs, Saunders serves as a full-time
magistrate and has no other legal practices,
whereas Fisher serves as a part-time magistrate and continues his assistant prosecutor
duties in Gallia.
“The training was very beneﬁcial,” said
Saunders of his magistrate training. “Normally, when you go to a continuing legal education class, you’re learning how to win. As
a newly appointed member of the judiciary,
you’re getting to look at it from a neutral
standpoint as opposed to which side you’re
representing. When I was a defense attorney,
I’d go to defense seminars and you’d learn
how to maybe try to lessen a sentence or
(prevent a conviction). When I was prosecuting, you were looking at how to get a conviction. In this position, you want to make sure
everyone gets treated with what’s right and
just.”
“Every county is different in how they utilize their magistrates,” said Saunders.
Saunders said the majority of his work as a
magistrate focused on domestic issues.

The Children with Medical Handicaps (CMH) Program, under the director of
coordinator Angella Rosler,
served 76 families in 2018,
up one from 2017.
The 76 families utilized
service coordination assistance through the Meigs
County Health Department
to connect to local resources. The families were eligible to receive additional
health care that may have
included medications,
copays, diagnostic procedures, physician visits, and
equipment which they may
not have otherwise been
able to afford.
Additionally, 20 of the
families participate in
additional county service
coordination though the
Family and Children First
Council.
In 2018, CMH had a
reimbursable hours total of
$23,420.
A quarterly newsletter is

Eagles gets
3-1 victory
over Southern
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

RACINE, Ohio — Another dominant performance for the Eagles.
Eastern junior Colton Reynolds surrendered
just two hits and struck out six over seven
innings of work Monday night during a 3-1 victory over host Southern in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at Star Mill Park
in Meigs County.
Both teams went scoreless through three complete frames, but the visiting Eagles (8-0, 6-0
TVC Hocking) ultimately secured a permanent
lead in the top of the fourth as a two-out single
to left by Conner Ridenour plated Isaiah Fish for
a 1-0 edge.
The Green and White made that lead stick for
three innings, then added to their cushion in the
top half of the seventh as Brayden Smith scored
after Blake Newland was hit by a pitch with the
bases loaded.
Ryan Harbour scored one batter later when
Fish was hit by a pitch with the bases still loaded,
making it a 3-0 contest.
The Tornadoes (5-3, 5-3) ﬁnally broke into the
scoring column in the seventh as Billy Harmon
doubled home Gage Shuler with one away for a
two-run deﬁcit.
Reynolds, however, induced a groundout and a
strikeout in the next two at-bats, allowing EHS to
wrap up the 3-1 triumph.
The Purple and Gold left runners stranded in
scoring position in each of the ﬁrst ﬁve frames,
including runners at second and third during the
fourth and ﬁfth innings. The hosts also left baserunners at third in the third and seventh frames.

The Big 12 has agreed to a deal that gives ESPN
the rights to all football championship game
through 2024 and makes the league the ﬁrst Power
Five conference to provide exclusive content to
ESPN+, the cable giant’s online subscription streaming service.
Sports Business Journal Daily ﬁrst reported ESPN
will pay the conference about $40 million from
2019-24. A person with direct knowledge of the contract conﬁrmed the value to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity because the network and
conference were not speaking publicly about ﬁnancial terms.
The new agreement calls for Big 12 content on
ESPN+ to be branded speciﬁcally for the conference, creating a de facto digital conference network.
The deal calls for each school, except Texas and
Oklahoma, to have one football game per season
exclusively shown on ESPN+, starting in 2020. Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State will
have football games on ESPN+ starting this season
and Iowa State, West Virginia. TCU and Texas Tech
will join them in 2020.
Texas was excluded because it has a deal with
ESPN’s Longhorn Network for rights to at least one
football game per season. Oklahoma had a local television agreement for at least one game per season.
Also, all Big 12 men’s basketball games not
appearing on an ESPN television network —
expected to be at least 75 per season — will be
shown on ESPN+.

NEW YORK (AP) — For a
second time in the storied history of St. John’s basketball, the
Chris Mullin era is over.
The school’s greatest player
resigned as coach Tuesday after
four years on the job, citing a
“personal loss.” And while the
program progressed under Mullin during his time on the sideline, the results fell far short of
his four sensational seasons on
the court.
Athletic director Mike Cragg
announced the decision, noting
Mullin’s contributions and “deep
passion for this program,” but
did not detail reasons for the
move.
Mullin, however, said in a separate statement he had suffered
a “recent personal loss,” without
elaborating. His older brother,
Roddy, died last month at 58
after battling cancer for years.
Mullin had two years remaining on his contract. The 55-yearold coach was coming off his
ﬁrst winning season and only
trip to the NCAA Tournament,
an accomplishment he described
as a “lifetime memory.” The Red
Storm lost to Arizona State in a
First Four game last month.
Mullin called it an “extremely
emotional decision.”
“I took time to reﬂect upon my
true values and believe this is the

Eastern, conversely,

ﬁve innings at the plate,
leaving runners at third
in only the third and seventh frames.
The Eagles outhit SHS
by a 7-2 overall margin
and also committed both
errors in the contest.
Southern stranded 10
runners on base, while
the guests left only six
on the bags.

distance for the win,
allowing one earned run

right time to make a change,” he
said. “I am extremely grateful to
the administration, which has
supported me and our basketball
program on every level.”
Cragg said St. John’s will
now pursue an experienced
coach “committed to building
a championship-level program”
and someone who is “ready to
build upon the recent successes
of our program with integrity
by recruiting young men of high
character.”
Bobby Hurley, the Arizona
State coach with a New Jersey background, is reportedly
thought to be a top target for St.
John’s to replace Mullin. Hurley
was a star point guard at Duke,
where Cragg spent more than
three decades before being hired
by St. John’s last September.
The Red Storm went 59-73
under Mullin, including 20-52 in
Big East play, after he replaced
Steve Lavin in March 2015
and embarked on a substantial
rebuild.
St. John’s President Bobby
Gempesaw said that because
of Mullin the “university community has grown closer, there
has been excitement throughout
campus.”
Led by star guard Shamorie
Ponds and several talented transfers, the Red Storm won their

ﬁrst 12 games this past season
for their best start since Mullin
was a sophomore in 1982-83. St.
John’s brieﬂy cracked the AP Top
25 for the ﬁrst time in four years
but faded down the stretch, losing ﬁve of their ﬁnal six games
and six of the last eight to ﬁnish
21-13.
St. John’s squeezed into the
NCAA Tournament as the last
team to receive a bid and lost
74-65 to Arizona State in Dayton, Ohio. That left the program,
once a national power, still without an NCAA Tournament victory since 2000.
In the weeks that followed,
Ponds announced he would pass
up his senior season to enter the
NBA draft and hire an agent.
Top recruiter Matt Abdelmassih, an assistant to Mullin, left
for a position on the new staff
at Nebraska under old boss Fred
Hoiberg. And touted recruit
Cam Mack, a junior college point
guard, asked to be released from
his national letter of intent.
Mullin, a two-time Olympic
gold medalist and member of the
Basketball Hall of Fame, led St.
John’s to the 1985 Final Four, his
elegant left-handed shot and the
antics of coach Lou Carnesecca
captivating all of New York. Mullin remains the school’s career
scoring leader.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — A pitchers’ duel, and a
senior coming through in the clutch.
The Eastern and Trimble baseball teams battled
through 6.5 scoreless innings on Monday in Meigs
County, with EHS senior Ryan Harbour hitting a
walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh to give
the hosts a 1-0 victory.
Eastern (7-0, 5-0 TVC Hocking) only made it into
scoring position once in the ﬁrst six frames, leaving
runners on the corners in the bottom of the third.
After leaving one runner in scoring position in the
second inning, Trimble loaded the bases with one out
in the third, but the Eagles escaped unscathed after a
strikeout and ﬂyout to ﬁrst.
The Tomcats made it to third base again following
an error in the top of the sixth, but left the runner
stranded.
In the home half of the seventh, Conner Ridenour
singled to leadoff the frame, moved to second on a
Brayden Smith sac-bunt, and then stole third. Following a walk, Harbour fought off a 1-2 count and came
through with a single, bringing Ridenour home for
the game-winning run.

record, striking out 10 batters and walking three in
a complete game shut out for the Eagles. Blanchard
allowed just three hits in the contest, while striking
out at least one batter in six of the seven innings.
Hooper took the setback in a complete game for
the guests, allowing one run on seven hits, with zero
strikeouts and one walk.
Each of Eastern’s seven hits were singles and each
came from a different player. Smith got things going
with a hit in the second, Colton Reynolds, Blake Newland and Isaiah Fish followed with hits in the following inning, while Nate Durst came up with a safety in
the fourth. The ﬁnal two EHS hits came in the ﬁnale,
with Ridenour singling and then scoring on Harbour’s
single.
Kittle, Brooks and Rossiter each singled once for
the guests.
Each team committed an error in the contest, but
neither led to a run. EHS stranded four runners on
base, while THS left seven.

Magic abruptly resigns as Lakers’ president
two years ago.
Johnson didn’t tell
owner Jeanie Buss or
general manager Rob
Pelinka about his shocking decision before he
announced it in front
of reporters about 90
minutes before the ﬁnal
game of the Lakers’
sixth consecutive losing
season.
Los Angeles, which is
missing the NBA playoffs yet again despite
the offseason addition
of LeBron James, played
well after Johnson’s
announcement, but still
lost 104-101 to Portland.

LOS ANGELES
(AP) — Magic Johnson
abruptly quit as the
Los Angeles Lakers’
president of basketball
operations Tuesday
night, citing his desire
to return to the simpler
life he enjoyed as a
wealthy businessman
and beloved former
player before taking
charge of this tempestuous franchise just over

TENOGLIA &amp; SALISBURY
LAW GROUP, LLC.

“I want to go back to
having fun,” Johnson
said, ﬁghting off tears. “I
want to go back to being
who I was before taking
on this job. We’re halfway there with LeBron
coming (last summer). I
think this summer, with
that other star coming
in, whoever is going to
bring him in, I think this
team is really going to
be in position to contend
for a championship with
the growth of the young
players.”
Johnson didn’t directly
tie his decision to the
future of Luke Walton,

but the third-year coach
was widely expected
to be ﬁred by Johnson.
Without using names,
Johnson repeatedly
mentioned Buss’ afﬁnity for Walton, who was
in place before Johnson
got his job in February
2017, and Johnson’s
desire not to cause
upheaval between the
owner and her chosen
coach.
“(On Wednesday) I
would have to affect
somebody’s livelihood
and their life,” Johnson
said. “And I thought
about it and I said,
‘That’s not fun for me.
That’s not who I am.’
And then I don’t want
to put her in the middle
of us, even though she
said, ‘Hey, you can do
what you want to do.’ I
know she has great love
for him and great love
for me.”
Johnson and Buss
had a three-hour meeting Monday about the
direction of the 16-time
NBA champion Lakers,
who haven’t made the
postseason since 2013.
Magic claimed he didn’t
ﬁnalize his decision until
Tuesday morning.
“Somebody is going
to have to tell my boss,
because I know she’s
going to be sick,” Johnson said. “But I knew I
couldn’t face her face-toface and tell her.”

POMEROY — The future home of

ing on renovations to the former
Meigs Junior High/Middleport High
School.
“We thought long and hard
about this over a period of years,”
explained Executive Director Beth
Shaver. “One day John (Matson)
came in and suggested a name and
it was perfect. I don’t know why
we didn’t thing about it a long time
ago.”
Shaver went on to explain the
involvement of Blakeslee in the community, before revealing the center’s

name.
“In 1972 there was a group of
people who put their time, their
skills and their talents together and
started what we now know as the
Meigs County Council on Aging. In
that group was a very special man
who not only gave countless hours
to this organization for nearly 40
years, he also gave his time and talents to many organizations in Meigs
County,” said Shaver.

in Point Pleasant and
Mason, as well as
the Meals on Wheels
program, is that the

all expenses incurred
for preparing, delivering and serving the
meals. The state is then
invoiced for the number
of meals served that
month.
She continued that the
rates for the reimbursement have not increased
since 2009, and the rate
per meal is currently
lower than the cost of

a Big Mac meal from
McDonalds. Rifﬂe said
some agencies in the
state have had to change
the number of days per
week that their senior
centers are open, and
reduce the days that
they deliver meals to
homebound seniors.
To avoid that, the
county action group
decided to start the

“Senior Free Meal Day”
initiative. For a donation
of $568, groups, organizations, businesses and
individuals can provide
the cost of the food for
a day.
Valerie Johnson,
branch manager of Peoples Bank Point Pleasant
ofﬁce, said when they
ﬁrst saw the initiative,
they knew it was some-

thing they wanted to
participate in.
“We believe the Mason
County Action Group
does a great job providing our senior citizens
with activities, social
gatherings, and most
importantly meals to
those who need it the
most,” Johnson said.
She, along with
40-year bank employee

Roxanne Weaver, recently presented the check
to Rifﬂe.
Anyone wishing to
join in the initiative can
contact Rifﬂe at 304675-2369. All donations
go directly to support
the nutrition program,
she stated.

a 50-year member of the
Grange and also served as
the director of the Meigs
County Regional Planning Commission. He
was President of the Ohio
Association of Museums
and Historical Societies,”
said Shaver of Blakeslee.
Blakeslee served as the
Meigs County extension
ofﬁcer for many years
and was devoted to the
4-H program.

Blakeslee and his
wife, Daisy, raised their
two daughters in Meigs
County.
“He loved this county
and the people,” said
Shaver.
“We chose to honor
him and his legacy by
naming the building after
him so that his good
deeds would never be
forgotten. It is with great
pride we announce The

Blakeslee Center,” concluded Shaver.
In thinking of a name
for the new center,
Shaver noted that simply
calling it a senior center
would not be reﬂective
of what the building will
encompass.
“We are excited to soon
open the doors to the
public and show you what
is available to you. We
will host concerts, small

conferences, business
trainings, dances, banquets, parties and more,”
said Shaver. No opening
day has been set as work
is getting ready to take
place on the heating and
cooling systems, as well
as the plumbing.
“On any given day
there will be activities
going on simultaneously
in the building. There
will be people eating in

the cafe, people attending adult day care,
people shooting pool,
playing basketball, walking on a treadmill, lifting weights, attending
spin class or boot camp.
There will be an arts
class and a group doing
Tai Chi in our courtyard.
… The possibilities are
endless,” said 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.

From page 1B

OH-70117156

April, charities, hospitals, and communities
recognize volunteers
and foster a culture of
service.

Volunteering has a
long and distinguished
history at Holzer. The
American Red Cross
Gray Ladies served the
Holzer Hospital Cedar
Street location, which
opened in 1917 with
25-beds, delivering mail
for our patients. Holzer
Medical Center - Gal-

lipolis opened in 1972
with ﬁve separate groups
involved in the total
volunteer program: the
HMC Volunteer Service
League, the Red Cross
Gray Ladies, RSVP members, Foster Grandparent
Program, and Volunteens.
Since those early

beginnings, Holzer volunteers have contributed
thousands of hours of
service. In addition, they
have been instrumental
in many other endeavors
including the Lifeline
Program, a personal
emergency response system for people of all ages
that began with seed

money through Holzer
Heritage Foundation.
Holzer is proud to be a
part of a generous community ﬁlled with individuals willing to give time
to the patients we serve.
Volunteers are included in
various special employee
functions such as the
Annual Picnic and the

Christmas Dance.
We want to take this
time to recognize the
important role that each
volunteer plays in the
success of our organization. For more information about volunteering,

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

Healthy sleep and the impact of electronics
Every living creature
needs to sleep. Healthy
sleep habits can make a
huge difference in your
quality of life! Having
healthy sleep habits
is often referred to as
having good “sleep
hygiene”.
Let’s face it —
electronics are a part of
life in the 21st century.
Ninety percent of people
in the U.S. admit to
using a technological
device during the hour
before turning in, and
children often use
electronic media to help
them relax at night.
If you’re among these
nighttime technologyusers, you may not
realize the extent to
which this can make it
harder to settle down
to sleep. But it can. The
truth is, using electronic
devices before bedtime
can be physiologically
and psychologically
stimulating in ways that
can adversely affect your
sleep.
Here’s what happens:
Using TVs, tablets,
smartphones, laptops,
or other electronic
devices before bed
delays your body’s

internal clock (a.k.a.,
your circadian rhythm),
suppresses the release
of the sleep-inducing
hormone melatonin, and
makes it more difﬁcult
to fall asleep. This is
largely due to the shortwavelength, artiﬁcial
blue light that’s emitted
by these devices.
The more electronic
devices that a person
uses in the evening,
the harder it is to fall
asleep or stay asleep.
Besides increasing your
alertness at a time when
you should be getting
sleepy, which in turn
delays your bedtime,
using these devices
before turning in delays
the onset of REM sleep,
reduces the total amount
of REM sleep, and
compromises alertness
the next morning. Over
time, these effects can
add up to a signiﬁcant,
chronic deﬁciency in
sleep.
This is true for kids
and adults alike. It’s
important to have a
digital curfew for the
entire family, a time at
which you and your kids
turn off all electronic
devices for the night.

memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop
slowly and get worse over
time, becoming severe enough
to interfere with daily tasks.

Times like this with my mom Karen Tabor are more special than ever. Even though she’s recently been
through a battle with breast cancer, our family always had hope. Pleasant Valley Hospital’s advanced
diagnostic capabilities allowed her cancer to be pinpointed early with stereotactic biopsy and treated
by experienced specialists close to home. They even had an entire support system in place to keep her
fully informed and her plan of care on track. Today, my mother is cancer free. Thank you, Pleasant Valley
