This is a case of Caller ID “spoofing,” a high-tech manipulation of the Caller ID feature that allows the scammer to disguise their true identity by making the phone number appear to be that of the Regional Health Center at PVH. Scams, such as this one, have been targeting hospital patients nationwide. Please help educate your family, friends, neighbors, and others about this. Our hospital offers the following tips about this recent phone scam: -If you have not been a patient at PVH, or are not currently scheduled for a medical procedure, it is unlikely that you would be receiving a call from PVH. -If you are a patient of PVH and the Regional Health Center (or a patient at one of their physician practices) and you are unsure as to why you would receive a call from them, ask for the caller’s name, hospital department, and a direct phone number to call them back. You may also call 304.675.4340 to talk with Administration. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) offers these tips: -You may not be able to tell right away if an incoming call is spoofed. Be careful about responding to ANY request for personal identifying information. -Never give out personal information such as account numbers, Social Security Numbers, mother’s maiden name, passwords, or other identifying information in response to unexpected calls, or if you are at all suspicious. -If you get an inquiry from someone who says they represent a company or a government agency seeking personal information, hang up and call the phone number on your account statement, in the phone book, or on the company’s / government agency’s website to verify the authenticity of the request. -Use caution if you are being pressured for information immediately. -If you have a voicemail account with your phone service, be sure to set a password for it. Some voicemail services are preset to allow access if you call in from your own phone number. A hacker could spoof your home phone number and gain access to your voicemail if you do not set a password. Is blocking a phone number the same thing as spoofing? Spoofing is not the same thing as blocking a phone number. FCC rules require telephone companies to make phone number blocking available and free for all calls between states (each state makes its own rules about calls that stay within the state). If you receive a phone call from an “unknown number,” that phone number has been blocked, but not necessarily spoofed. Also, you can legally block the transmission of your phone number when you make calls, so your number will appear as “unknown.” What are the FCC rules regarding Caller ID for telemarketers? FCC rules specifically require that a telemarketer: -Transmit or display its telephone number or the telephone number on whose behalf the call is being made, and, if possible, its name or the name of the company for which it is selling products or services. -Display a telephone number you can call during regular business hours to ask to See SCAMS | 10 AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

AP file A hearing is underway in federal court in Cleveland that will result in a judge determining how much CVSHealth, Walgreens Co. and Walmart Corp. should pay two northeast Ohio counties to help them abate the continuing opioid crisis.

It was the an epidemiologist from first time pharmacies in Columbia University, the U.S. have been held Associated Press testified Tuesday that her estimates show nearly 6,000 people were addicted to opioids in 2019 in Lake County and nearly 7,600 suffered from opioid use disorder in Trumbull County that year. Thousands of children in the two counties suffer from mental illness, learning problems and other issues like PTSD because their parents use illicit opioids, Keyes testified. Drug overdose deaths increased since 2015 because of synthetic opioids like fentanyl in the two counties, Keyes said, and some of those users’ drug problems began after initially becoming addicted to prescription opioids. Children of parents who illegally use opioids are at a higher risk for addiction as well, she testified. Attorneys for the pharmacy chains questioned Keyes at length about the methodology she used to arrive at her estimates. Back in November, a jury in U.S. District Judge Dan Polster’s courtroom sided with the counties and agreed that the way the pharmacies dispensed pain medication played an outsized role in creating a public nuisance.

New Mexico fire fight tops $65M as wildfires march on By Susan Montoya Bryan Associated Press 740-446-2342 All content © 2022 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition. All rights reserved. No portion of this publication may be reproduced in any form without permission from the publisher, except as permitted by U.S. copyright law. Gallipolis Tribune Many homes near America’s largest wildfire survived the latest barrage of howling winds and erratic flames, but New Mexico’s governor said Tuesday the risk remains high and she expects long-term costs of recovering from the massive blaze to soar. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said during a briefing that northern New Mexico was in the best position that could be expected given the high potential for losses and the extreme challenges faced by firefighters. Crews worked to shepherd the flames around homes that make up numerous small villages on the northern and southern ends of the fire by bulldozing lines, putting up sprinklers, clearing trees and raking pine needles. A force of nearly 1,800 firefighters and support personnel were assigned to the blaze, including elite hot shots and several special strike teams. The cost of fighting the blaze has topped $50 million. While that’s expected to grow with wind predicted through Wednesday, the governor said the cost to reconstruct homes, prevent post-fire flooding and restore the blackened forest once the flames are out will likely stretch into the billions of dollars. “When you think about rebuilding communities, it is not an overnight process,” Lujan Grisham said. “So we should be thinking in terms of significant resources and those resources in my view should largely be borne by the federal government given the situation.” �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, May 11, 2022 3 Drivers bemoan high gasoline prices By Cathy Bussewitz, Julie Walker and Joshua Boak Associated Press NEW YORK — Just as Americans gear up for summer road trips, the price of oil remains stubbornly high, pushing prices at the gas pump to painful heights. Drivers were paying $4.37 for a gallon of regular Tuesday, on average, according to AAA. That’s 25 cents higher than a month ago, and $1.40 more than a year ago. “The price of gas is ridiculous,” said Joel Baxter, a nurse, who was filling up his car at a BP station in Brooklyn, New York, so that he could commute 26 miles (42 kilometers) to work. “The money, your salary, is practically the same, and everything is going up, so they should do something about it.” The high price of oil is the main cause of the biting gasoline prices. A barrel of U.S. benchmark crude was selling for around $100 a barrel Tuesday, a price tag that has been climbing throughout the year. The high price of oil is largely because many buyers are refusing to purchase Russian oil because of its invasion of Ukraine. The European Union is considering an embargo on oil from Russia, which is a major supplier. Those pressures leave less oil to go around. Drivers such as Baxter say they wish the government could step in to help, although few can say what solution that would bring lasting relief. “There are very few things that a president Timothy D.

President Joe Biden released oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in November and March, hoping to reduce prices. That helped temporarily, but prices shot back up and stayed stubbornly high. Biden in remarks Tuesday stressed that fighting inflation is his top priority, a sign of both the economic challenges caused by prices rising at the fastest pace in four decades and the political drag for Democrats that has resulted. “I believe that inflation is our top economic challenge right now,” Biden said. He said that switching away from fossil fuels and greater energy efficiency will ultimately protect Americans from higher gasoline and heat- ing and cooling costs. The president noted that Americans are finding ways to limit how many fill-ups they need because of higher prices. “They’re doing everything in their power to figure out how to not show up at the gas pump,” he said. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said a suspension of the federal gas tax is “an option on the table.” The suspension could in theory reduce gas prices by as much as 18 cents a gallon. Republican lawmakers say the key is to lease more federal land for oil and gas drilling and send a positive message to energy producers by greenlighting the Keystone XL pipeline that Biden nixed last year. As the war Russia is waging on Ukraine continues and demand for gasoline continues to grow, experts are not expecting relief at the pump any time soon. “We will see this trend continue probably throughout summer, mainly because of demand,” Gross said. “The weather’s getting warmer. The days are getting nicer. People are hitting the road.” That’s particularly hard on people who drive for a living, or those who must drive to get to work. “It’s expensive,” said Peter Lector, 28, who spent $60 Tuesday to fill up his tank in Brooklyn. “I’m doing Uber, so it’s costing me a lot of money every morning.” If the price of gasoline keeps going up, he feels like he might have to find another job, he said. Still others have accepted that high gasoline prices may be here to stay. “It is what it is,” said David Stephen, who was also buying gasoline in Brooklyn. “Everything goes up, never comes down ....

Jackson Carman, a second-round draft pick in 2021, is expected to complete with third-year man Hakeem Adeniji and others at left guard. “We all kind of know it’s a business and the team wants to get the best product on the field possible, so I think everyone is just going to approach this season as a competition, even against the new guys that came in,” Williams said. “I think that’s going to kind of lift all of us up competing at every position.” He said the offensive line is well aware that it was a weak spot, especially in the postseason. “We were in a position where we were fighting to make the playoffs towards the end of the year, and then suddenly we beat Kansas City at home and we were division champs, and we were making the playoffs,” Williams said. “From there we were just stacking our chips trying to keep on going. As you do that, the level of competition rises and everyone is bringing their best. I don’t think we did enough to step up when we needed to.” The Bengals gained some respect in 2021 after going a combined 6-25-1 in coach Zac Taylor’s first two seasons. They finished 10-7 in the regular season and won the division as the traditional AFC North powers faded in December. They got through without major injuries and widespread COVID19 issues as was the case in 2020. Field goals by rookie Evan McPherson decided five of Cincinnati’s games, including a 52-yarder as time expired for a 19-16 win over Tennessee in the divisional round and a 31-yarder to give the Bengals a 27-24 win over Kansas City in the AFC championship game. They played their way into a Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years, but lost 23-20 to the Los Angeles Rams. “I take losses pretty hard,” defensive tackle DJ Reader said Tuesday. “Especially when you get that close. I didn’t really talk to that many people. My mom knows how I am. I didn’t talk to my agent for a while. I didn’t talk to my mom for about a week. Everybody just hung out for a little bit, then I get back and everything is all good.” IN BRIEF Brady to join Fox Sports when playing career ends NEW YORK (AP) — Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady will join Fox Sports as its lead football analyst once his playing career ends, the network said Tuesday. When that actually happens is unclear, because Brady recently changed his mind about retiring and said he plans to continue playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd NFL season. Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch made the announcement during a corporate investor call on Tuesday. “Over the course of this long-term agreement, Tom will not only call our our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, he will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives,” Murdoch said. Murdoch said it’s “entirely up to” Brady when he decides to retire from football and join Fox. Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title following the 2020 season and NFC South championship last season. He teamed with coach Bill Belichick to win six Super Bowls during 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. Spurs owner insists team will stay in San Antonio SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio Spurs owner Peter J. Holt on Tuesday told fans not to worry: The team isn’t going anywhere. A plan to have the Spurs play a few games in Austin, 80 miles away, had raised some local anxiety that the owners may be considering moving the team. “I want to reassure you that the Spurs are in San Antonio to stay,” Holt said in a message posted on Twitter. “My family became involved in the Spurs in the 90s because there was a real threat the team would be moved. We would not let that happen then and we will not let that happen now,” Holt said. “There are no Spurs without the city and the people of San Antonio.” Bexar County owns AT&T Stadium where the Spurs play home games. County commissioners last week raised concerns about the team’s request to play two homes games in Austin’s new Moody Center, which will host University of Texas games. A team official told the commission the franchise is simply trying to expand its brand. Emily Barber. Rounding out the Southern hitting were Chloe Rizer and From page 6 Michelle Adkins.

That prediction, based on market trends, was made this week by Blake Lawrence, co-founder and CEO of a company that helps athletes and schools navigate the ever-changing NIL landscape. The increasing dollar amounts available to college athletes through the recent formation of collectives has drawn the attention of the NCAA, which this week released market,” LeRoy said, “and it really reflects the pent-up demand to pay players.” Lawrence said a top, five-star recruit could have NIL earning potential of more than $1 million per year when money coming from sources outside the booster collective is considered, especially if he is a quarterback. Four-star recruits could earn well into the six figures. But even a lower-ranked recruit at a less glamorous position would be well-compensated — the $50,000 earner — because the booster collective will make sure of it to keep peace on the team, Lawrence said. “If an entire class arrives to campus and they are all scholarship athletes and one individ- opportunities to college athletes to cash in on their fame and developed compliance technology that allows schools to keep track of the deals. Lawrence based his $50,000-a-year per player minimum on the assumption booster collectives are directing about $5 million annually into NIL pools and that some of the money will go to athletes in other sports. There are collectives supporting NIL at more than half of the 65 Power Five schools, including Notre Dame, and more are forming. Michael LeRoy, a University of Illinois labor law professor who researches college athlete compensation, said Lawrence’s projection is spot on. “It’s an overheated guidance for schools in the hopes of maintaining the original intent of NIL compensation. College sports leaders are concerned some collectives have gone beyond paying athletes for activities such as endorsements and appearances and breaking the pay-for-play ban by offering cash to influence athletes’ decisions on where to go to school. NCAA rules prohibit boosters from making contact with prospective recruits. Lawrence co-founded Opendorse in 2012 to facilitate endorsement deals for professional athletes. The former Nebraska football player was among the advisers who worked with the NCAA on forming NIL policy, and he expanded his company to bring ual is earning six figures and another is earning zero dollars, that is going to create a rift,” Lawrence said. “What these groups have done in certain markets is realize it’s about equality. Each individual in this locker room will receive some sort of support so there is equality at a base layer. And there may be additional value for the most marketable and influential individuals in each recruiting class.” How long booster collectives choose to fund NIL opportunities is debatable. Jason Belzer, an attorney and founder of Student-Athlete NIL, which has worked with Penn State and Rutgers to set up collectives, said establishing fair market value for athletes is a moving target and that it is critical for the athletes getting paid to provide real services in return. Belzer used the example of each SEC school having a collective with $10 million a year going to football players. He said members of the collective supporting the last-place team could become disenchanted and regret funding NIL. “They’re gonna say, ‘Well, I’m not putting money in anymore, because my investment didn’t provide any return whatsoever. I didn’t get my name on a building. I didn’t get access to anything otherwise. And wait a second. Now I don’t want this coach anymore, but I just gave all my money to the studentathletes, I can’t even pay to buy the guy out,’” Belzer said. Andretti receives direction on how to proceed with F1 bid By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Michael Andretti walked through the Formula One paddock quite literally going door-todoor. He wants into the most exclusive club in motorsports and figured pleading his case to the current team bosses was his best shot. Andretti carried with him a white Miami Dolphins folder — he said he borrowed it from the promoters of the inaugural Miami Grand Prix last weekend — and inside was a piece of paper asking the 10 current F1 team leaders to support the addition of Andretti Global to the grid. By the time he made it to the end of the paddock, Andretti’s chances seemed grim. He left his conversation with Red Bull principal Christian Horner — held in the outdoor, open area of Red Bull hospitality — with only two signatures. Horner did not sign. Andretti didn’t even bother going next door Wilfredo Lee | AP Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner, left, talks with Michael Andretti after the qualifying sessions for the Formula One Miami Grand Prix auto race Saturday at Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Fla. Andretti failed last year to buy an existing F1 team and has since applied for expansion to start a team. TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 55° 75° 76° Mostly sunny and very warm today. Clear tonight.

But that hasn’t been demonstrated yet.” Zak Brown, the head of McLaren Racing, joined Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi as the only F1 team leaders to sign Andretti’s form in Miami. Brown, a Californian, has a long relationship with the Andrettis and announced Tuesday he will let Mario Andretti drive a McLaren F1 car at the U.S. Grand Prix in October. He believes Andretti Global would be a benefit. “A very credible racing team with a credible brand, with the right resources, I think is additive to the sport,” Brown said. “That appears to be what Michael has put together. So, on that basis, we are supportive.” Rossi said he he believes adding an American team “goes along with the expansion in the U.S.” There are two F1 races in the United States this year for the first time since 1984, and a 2023 trip to Las Vegas will make three American races on the schedule. 82° 61° Waverly 84/53 Pollen: 1402 Low MOON PHASES FRIDAY season commuting back and forth from the U.S. to Europe to drive for McLaren in F1, wants to put IndyCar driver Colton Herta of California in his seat. Andretti maintains he’s committed to a true effort, and argues an American team with an American driver can only add to F1’s financial worth. He figures Andretti involvement will help all existing teams court North American sponsorship. Wolff has yet to see any benefit to expanding the grid to anyone and estimates F1’s current successful teams have “put more than a billion into the Formula 1 projects over the years.” “We have 10 entries today, we divide the prize fund among those 10 entries,” Wolff said. “If a team comes in, how can you demonstrate that you’re bringing in more money than it’s actually costing?

He said the same thing to new FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem when they spoke before the race. “We finally have some direction,” Andretti told AP. “It’s the first time we’ve been given any direction on how to make this happen.” Just when it seemed that Andretti had no shot at cracking the country club — there’s a $200 million buy-in fee — he was given hope. It had to have been encouraging that to Mercedes, where boss Toto Wolff has not wavered in his opposition to adding teams because he believes that would dilute profits for those on the grid. Andretti was discouraged but not defeated. By the time Sunday’s race began, he felt a lot better about his chances of returning the Andretti name to F1. Andretti told The Associated Press he had an encouraging meeting with F1 CEO Stefano Sulayem, who was elected head of F1’s governing body in December, not only recognized Andretti but stopped to lean into his ear for an exchange in which Sulayem did most of the talking. The Andretti effort to field an American team was the talk of F1’s firstever race in Miami. The North American market has at last embraced the series — Sunday’s race on ABC was the mostwatched live F1 race in U.S. history — and Andretti wants to expand the famed racing name. Mario Andretti, Michael’s father, is the 1978 F1 champion and one of the greatest drivers in motorsports history. But there has not been an American driver in F1 since Alexander Rossi in 2015. The only current American team is Haas F1, which is owned by California businessman Gene Haas, partially headquartered in North Carolina but does not employ any American drivers.

Chris Carlson | AP A sign posted at a CVS pharmacy describes a shortage of baby food Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. Nationwide about 40% of large retail stores are out of stock, up from 31% in mid-April, according to Datasembly, a data analytics firm. Parents hunt for baby formula amid shortage By Matthew Perrone and Heather Hollingsworth Associated Press Map Daily Sentinel WASHINGTON — Parents across the U.S. are scrambling to find baby formula because supply disruptions and a massive safety recall have swept many leading brands off store shelves. Months of spot shortages at pharmacies and supermarkets have been exacerbated by the recall at Abbott, which was forced to shutter its largest U.S. formula manufacturing plant in February due to contamination concerns. On Monday, White House press secretary Jenn Psaki said the Food and Drug Administration was “working around the clock to address any possible shortages” and will try to expedite imports of foreign baby formula to increase supply. For now, pediatricians and health workers are urging parents who can’t find formula to contact food banks or doctor’s offices. They warn against watering down formula to stretch supplies or using online DIY recipes. “For babies who are not being breastfed, this is the only thing they eat,” said Dr. Steven Abrams, of the University of Texas, Austin. “So it has to have all of their nutrition and, furthermore, it needs to be properly prepared so that it’s safe for the smallest infants.” Laura Stewart, a 52-year-old mother of three who lives just north of Springfield, Missouri, has been struggling for several weeks to find formula for her 10-monthold daughter, Riley. Riley normally gets a brand of Abbott’s Similac designed for children with sensitive stomachs. Last month, she instead used four different brands. “She spits up more. She’s just more cranky. She is typically a very happy girl,” Stewart said. “When she has the right formula, she doesn’t spit up. She’s perfectly fine.” Scams From page 1 no longer be called. This rule applies even to companies that already have an established business relationship with you. How do I report suspected spoofing? If you receive a call and you suspect Caller ID information has been A small can costs $17 to $18 and lasts three to five days, Stewart said. Like many Americans, Stewart relies on WIC — a federal program similar to food stamps that serves mothers and children — to afford formula for her daughter. Abbott’s recall wiped out many WICcovered brands, though the program is now allowing substitutions. Trying to keep formula in stock, retailers including CVS and Walgreens have begun limiting purchases to three containers per customer. Nationwide about 40% of large retail stores are out of stock, up from 31% in mid-April, according to Datasembly, a data analytics firm. More than half of U.S. states are seeing out-of-stock rates between 40% and 50%, according to the firm, which collects data from 11,000 locations. Baby formula is particularly vulnerable to disruptions because just a handful of companies account for almost the entire U.S. supply. Industry executives say the constraints began last year as the COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in ingredients, labor and transportation. Supplies were further squeezed by parents stockpiling during lockdowns. Then in February, Abbott recalled several major brands and shut down its Sturgis, Michigan, factory when federal officials concluded four babies suffered bacterial infections after consuming formula from the facility. Two of the infants died. When FDA inspectors visited the plant in March they found lax safety protocols and traces of the bacteria on several surfaces. None of the bacterial strains matched those collected from the infants, however, and the FDA hasn’t offered an explanation for how the contamination occurred. For its part, Abbott says its formula “is not likely the source of infection,” though the FDA says its investigation con- tinues. The shortages are especially dangerous for infants who require specialty formulas due to food allergies, digestive problems and other conditions. “Unfortunately, many of those very specialized formulas are only made in the United States at the factory that had the recall, and that’s caused a huge problem for a relatively small number of infants,” Abrams said. After hearing concerns from parents, the FDA said last month that Abbott could begin releasing some specialty formulas not affected by the recalls “on a case-bycase basis.” The company is providing them free of charge, in coordination with physicians and hospitals. Food safety advocates say the FDA made the right call in releasing the formula, but that parents should talk to their pediatricians before using it. “There’s still some risk from the formula because we know there are problems at the plant and FDA hasn’t identified a root cause,” said Sarah Sorscher of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “But it’s worth releasing because these infants might die without it.” It’s unclear when the Abbott plant might reopen. An FDA spokeswoman said the company is still working “to rectify findings related to the processes, procedures, and conditions.” The agency also is working with other manufacturers to consider options for increasing production. Industry professionals say it will be hard to boost supply quickly, because the FDA requires extensive testing, labeling and inspections. “It’s a long and rigorous process to bring any new manufacturers into this country,” said Ron Belldegrun, co-founder of ByHeart, a New Yorkbased formula maker that recently launched its first product after four years in development. falsified, or you think the rules for protecting the privacy of your telephone number have been violated, you can file a complaint with the FCC.
