The program will run for 10 weeks and provide patients and community residents with heart-healthy food boxes and weekly nutrition education classes. The FARMACY program is free for participants and is part of an effort to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Participants will receive a 30-minute nutrition education class that includes free fruits and vegetables, bi-weekly food boxes, food demonstrations, recipes, and information about hypertension, stroke, and cancer. Rob Dudley, CEO of Coplin Health Systems, said that healthy foods and nutrition education play an important role in maintaining good health and managing and preventing diseases. “Our goal is to help FARMACY program participants implement healthy diet and lifestyle changes to improve their overall health and manage and prevent chronic diseases, such as hypertension, stroke, and cancer,” Dudley said. “The program is the beginning of the journey toward better health.” The FARMACY program focuses on individuals ages 18 to 75 who have not previously been diagnosed with hypertension, stroke, or cancer. Preference is given to individuals in rural communities with an income of 200% or below Federal Poverty Level, ethnic minorities, or individuals with disabilities. To apply for the food FARMACY program or learn more information, visit www.coplinhealth. com/farmacy/. The FARMACY program is being promoted through three clinical partners, Coplin Health Systems, Minnie Hamilton Health Systems, and Ritchie Regional Health Center. Any patients or community members are welcome to join the program if you meet the criteria stated above. The program aims to create long-lasting behavioral changes through improved health. As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to receive free health screenings for A1C, blood pressure, and weight during the first and tenth weeks. Referrals for cancer screenings will also be made for participants when appropriate. “We know that good nutrition and disease management can improve overall health outcomes, helping to lower A1C numbers and blood pressure,” Dudley said. “Even dropping an individual’s A1C and blood pressure just one to two percentage points can mean less medication for that patient and reduced prescription costs. The 14 participating organizations in the project include Coplin Health Systems, Minnie Hamilton Health System, Ritchie Regional Health Care, WVU Extension Service, WV Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program, WV Health Connections, WVUParkersburg, Rural Action, Mountaineer Foodbank, American Heart Association, WV Division of Health Promotion and Chronic Disease, WV Office of Rural Health, and WV Center for Rural Health Development.

Area veteran fights for those suffering from toxic exposure By Lorna Hart lhart@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — Andrea Neutzling is a mother, a veteran, and an advocate for The Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act, or the PACT Act. The act, which would provide comprehensive benefits to all generations of veterans who have suffered due to toxic exposure, is named in honor of Heath Robinson, a Central Ohio veteran who deployed to Kosovo and Iraq with the Ohio National Guard, and passed away in 2020 from cancer as a result of toxic exposure during his mili- tary service. Neutzling is very invested in its passage; not only has she had firsthand experience of fellow soldiers who have suffered from exposure, she herself has numerous medical conditions related to her exposure in Iraq. “I want people to know and understand, this is a real medical issue we are dealing with, and that they are not alone,” she said. “Just like the Viet Nam Veterans were dealing with health issues stemming from exposure. This bill will help all veterans get the assistance we need.” Neutzling said she wants to tell her story Andrea Neutzling and Matthew M. Fritz, Commander in Chief of Veterans of Foreign Wars, at a rally outside the Capital in Washington D.C. so that others will come forward and seek the help they need in dealing with the issues the exposure has induced. After enlisting in 2000, Neutzling received advanced individual training as an intelligence analyst at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz. She spent eight months in South Korea, then came back to Ft. Gordan, Ga., supporting the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. She remained on active duty until she became a reservist in 2004, and served until 2010. As a reservist, Neutzling was with the 391 Battalion in Columbus, was deployed to Iraq in 2005 with a Military Police See PROMISE | 10 PACT Act passes Senate, heads to Congress By Lorna Hart lhart@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — HR3967 SSC/Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2021 was first introduce to Congress in June 2021.

Biden said members of his team were to meet this week with CEOs of the major oil companies to discuss rising prices. Biden lashed out at oil companies, saying they are making excessive profits when people are feeling the crunch of skyrocketing costs at the pump and inflation. But Biden said he would not be meeting the oil executives himself. “I want an explana- tion for why they aren’t refining more oil,” Biden said. The Biden administration has already released oil from the U.S. strategic reserve and increased ethanol blending for the summer, in additional to sending a letter last week to oil refiners urging them to increase their refining capacity. Yet those efforts have yet to reduce price pressures meaningfully, such that the administration is now considering a gas tax holiday. Taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel help to pay for highways. The Penn Wharton Budget Model released estimates Wednesday showing that consumers saved at the pump because of gas tax holidays in Connecticut, Georgia and Maryland. The majority of the savings went to consumers, instead of service stations and others in the energy sector. In an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed an openness to a federal gas tax holiday to give motorists some relief. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in her own Sunday interview told CNN’s “State of the Union” cautioned that “part of the challenge with the gas tax, of course, is that it funds the roads.” �COMICS 4 Tuesday, June 21, 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing FREE DATE CHANGES $ $ 2,549 2,299 * FROM BEST OF HAWAII FOURISLAND TOUR $ $ 1,949 1,699 * CRIMSON CANYONS & MESAS NATIONAL PARKS TOUR 1,849 * 1,599 * Seattle • Vancouver • Ketchikan • Juneau • Skagway • Glacier Bay • Anchorage • Denali • and more — Visit Denali National Park and Glacier Bay National Park on the same incredible trip!

The nation’s infants, toddlers and preschoolers are finally getting their chance at COVID-19 vaccination as the U.S. rolls out shots for tots this week. Shipments arrived in some locations over the weekend and some spots, including a Walgreens in South Carolina and another in New York City, opened up appoint- ments for Monday. Fletcher’s mother said that once her son is fully vaccinated, he can finally go bowling and visit the nearby children’s museum. “He’s never really played with another kid inside before,” McKenzie Pack said. “This will be a really big change for our family.” She began seeking an appointment last week as U.S. regulators took steps to OK the vaccines for kids 6 months to 5 years old. “It’s just relief,” said Pack. “With this vaccine, that’ll be his best shot at going back to normal and having a normal child- hood.” The Food and Drug Administration greenlighted the Moderna and Pfizer kid shot s on Friday and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended them Saturday. In the U.S., COVID-19 vaccines were first tested and given in late 2020 to health care workers and older adults. Teens and school-age kids were added last year. “This is certainly an exciting moment in what has become a very long campaign to vaccinate people against COVID19,”said Dr. Matthew Harris, an emergency room pediatrician at Sean Rayford | AP Pharmacist Kaitlin Harring, left, administers a Moderna COVID-19 vaccination to three year-old Fletcher Pack, while he sits on the lap of his mother, McKenzie Pack, at Walgreens pharmacy Monday in Lexington, S.C.

Many parents have been anxiously awaiting the rollout, and Harris said shots for his own 9-month-old are a “matter of when, not if.’’ Roughly 18 million youngsters under 5 are eligible. “It’s just a huge step toward normalcy,’’ said Dr. Debra Langlois, pediatrician at University of Michigan Health C.S.

This month, he was spotted GARDINER, Mont. (AP) — Most of Yellowstone National Park should reopen within the next two weeks — much faster than originally expected after record floods pounded the region last week and knocked out major roads, federal officials said. Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly said the world-renowned park will be able to accommodate fewer visitors for the time being, and it will take more time to restore road connections with some southern Montana communities. Park officials said Sunday they’ll use $50 million in federal highway money to speed up road and bridge repairs. There’s still no timetable for repairs to routes between the park and areas of Montana where the recovery is expected to stretch for months. Yellowstone will partially reopen at 8 a.m. Wednesday, more than a week after more than 10,000 visitors were forced out of the park when the Yellowstone and other rivers went over their banks after being swelled by melting snow and several inches of rainfall. Only portions of the park that can be accessed along its “southern loop” of roads will be opened initially and access to the park’s scenic backcountry will be for day hikers only. Within two weeks officials plan to also open the northern loop, after previously declaring that it would likely stay closed through the summer season. The northern loop would give visitors access to popular attractions including Tower Fall and Mammoth Hot Springs. They’d still be barred from the Lamar Valley, which is famous for its prolific wildlife including bears, wolves and bison that can often be seen from the roadside. “That would get 75 to 80% of the park back to working,” National Park Service Director Charles “Chuck” Sams said Sunday during a visit to Yellowstone to gauge the flood’s effects.

I’ve seen See SCHULTZ | 8 Trackhouse in Nashville as hottest team in NASCAR CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It was just one year ago that an aggravated Justin Marks sat at the podium at Nashville Superspeedway. Two days earlier, he’d claimed he was blindsided to learn he was once again shut out of the sale of two NASCAR charters. He sat alongside Trackhouse Racing partner Pitbull, who ever the entertainer plugged his upcoming “I Don’t Know About You But I Feel Good” tour. The Grammy winJenna ner did feel good: Nashville was buzzFryer ing over the long-awaited return of AP auto NASCAR and people were partying racing writer all over the city — proof to Pitbull that he was amidst a post-pandemic renaissance. That charter stuff with the NASCAR team? No worries to Pitbull. He lets Marks handle the business, while Pitbull helps raise the energy around the hip new team. Well, Marks did figure it out. One year later, wow, does Trackhouse feel good. The second-year team returns to its pseudohome hot off Daniel Suarez’s first career victory. Only the fifth Cup Series winner born outside the United States, the Mexican sent Trackhouse into the only off weekend on NASCAR’s 38-race schedule with both Suarez and Ross Chastain already qualified for the playoffs. See, when Marks last June lost out on those charters — Spire Motorsports sold them to someone else — he grew weary of playing the game and pulled off the purchase of his life. He bought the entirety of Chip Ganassi’s NASCAR operations last July and landed himself not one but two charters and an organization with two decades of experience. Trackhouse overnight went from startup to bona fide contender. The team’s emergence has centered on two underdog drivers who clawed their way into NASCAR’s top series, then spent years searching for a team that believed they could win races. At the end of the 2020 season, Marks picked Suarez, who was with his third different team in three years. “I knew in 2020 that I had hit bottom. In my mind, it couldn’t get any worse than that,” Suarez said of his one season with underfunded Gaunt Brothers Racing. “It was horrible on the racetrack, but it made me who I am now, it made me tougher. I knew it couldn’t get any worse. After that, Trackhouse came to the table.” Marks saw potential and built Trackhouse around Suarez and Travis Mack, a crew chief who noted last week that he had been fired during the NASCAR off-week four years ago. Now he was vacationing as a first-time winner. So much has changed for one team in one calendar year, and Suarez is expected to announce a See TRACKHOUSE | 8 LM Otero | AP Daniel Suarez reaches to fans during driver introductions before the NASCAR All-Star auto race May 22 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

It Curtis Strange won came to rest 18 feet AP National Writer the last U.S. Open here in 1988. Justin Leonard made a long putt to lift the U.S. to its Ryder Cup victory here in 1999. Some thought the U.S. Open had simply outgrown the course, and the property, but the USGA decided to take a chance on the hilly, craggy, windswept layout filled with blind shots and crooked fairways everywhere. The Country Club delivered. So did Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris, with supporting help from Scottie Scheffler, the topranked Masters champion who tied for second with Zalatoris. Most of his best shots over the weekend came on the front nine. Scheffler was watching near the 18th green when Zalatoris’ birdie putt missed by less than an inch. “When it was two feet out, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, that one’s in,’ and for some reason it went off to the left,” Scheffler said. “It’s one of those deals. You’ve got to get the breaks.” On this day, Fitzpatrick got the biggest breaks. There was none bigger than on the 15th tee box when he and Zalatoris were tied and facing a blind shot over a hill on the 500-yard par-4. Fitzpatrick hit a massive block; Zalatoris’ miss wasn’t as far off line. But Fitzpatrick’s ball landed in an area trampled down by the fans. Zalatoris was in thick, lush grass. Fitzpatrick made birdie and Zalatoris made bogey. It was a two-shot swing that, ultimately, Zalatoris couldn’t overcome. “We’re walking down and he goes, ‘I barely miss the fairway and I’ve got a horrible lie and he misses it by 30 yards and he’s OK,’” said Zalatoris’ caddie, Ryan Goble. “But Matt played great. And yeah, it was a great experience. So you just say, ‘Yeah, we’ll get him next time.’” For Fitzpatrick, this win bookends with his title at the 2013 U.S. Amateur, also at The Country Club. He became the second person to win both the U.S. Open and Amateur at the same place. The other: Jack Nicklaus in 1961 and 1972 at Pebble Beach. After the victory, Nicklaus called Fitzpatrick to congratulate him on his victory. Fitzpatrick, though, spoke of a different phone call from The Bear — the one he received after his victory at the member-member tournament at Nicklaus’ place in Florida, The Bear’s Club. “He said “Finally, congratulations for winning in the States,’” Fitzpatrick said. Nicklaus was razzing him. Before that, all of Fitzpatrick’s seven professional wins had come on the European Tour. This time, the call from Nicklaus was no joke. Finally, Fitzpatrick has an official win in the United States — and the biggest one at that. �CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, June 21, 2022 7 ANNOUNCEMENTS (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 EMPLOYMENT Notices Help Wanted General The following vehicle(s) will be available for public sale on Friday, June 24, 2022 at Dave's Supreme Auto Sales LLC, 1393 Jackson Pike Gallipolis, OH 45631, at 1:00 pm. +HDWLQJ�&RROLQJ &RPSDQ\ KLULQJ IXOO�WLPH � SDUW�WLPH KHOSHUV DQG LQVWDOOHUV� ([SHULHQFH KHOSIXO JRRG SD\� FDOO ������������ LI QR DQVZHU OHDYH PHVVDJH� KNAFK4A6XF5315251 2015 Kia Forte LX 0LJ :HOGHUV 1HHGHG� Please apply in person at King Kutter II ,Inc. 2150 Eastern Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631.

Williams trained at a nearby club over the weekend and was expected to have an on-site session at Devonshire Park ahead of playing doubles with Ons Jabeur. Their first match is set for Tuesday against Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova. The 40-year-old Williams, who hasn’t competed anywhere since she was injured in the first round of Wimbledon last year, was awarded a wild card for singles at the All England Club. Jabeur said it was “unbelievable” to have been asked by Williams to be part of her journey back to competition at the Wimbledon warmup. “I’m a good secret keeper -- yes, I’ve known (since) before the French By Janie Mccauley SAN FRANCISCO — From the moment all those months ago that Klay Thompson uttered “championship or bust” with his team off to an 18-2 start, the Golden State Warriors seemed set to make good on his lofty proclamation. It took Thompson getting healthy at last, then Draymond Green and Stephen Curry overcoming their own injuries down the stretch, and a cast of youngsters shining on the big playoff stage for the Warriors to win again. Coach Steve Kerr and his champion Warriors celebrated with a victory parade through San Francisco on Monday as thousands packed the streets on a warm June day and blue and gold confetti fell — with all those new faces taking part this time, too. Players jumped off their respective rides to mingle with fans, Porter and Thompson dancing and Andrew Wiggins spraying fans with champagne. Curry sported his three previous championship rings on a necklace. “I had to bring the jewelry back out. I don’t look at it during the year,” Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area. Golden State captured the franchise’s fourth championship in eight years Thursday night him on this journey to a national title. “They really are the best,” he said. “I can’t From page 6 thank Coach Darst lots of crazy accomplish- enough for all he does all the time.

It’s very much still in the business development strategy to have a brickand-mortar presence in Nashville. It’s a matter of figuring out how that looks with our goals scaling as a race team. “Nashville is so important to us. I think we’ve got some momentum in getting something special going there.” by beating the Boston Celtics 103-90 in the clinching Game 6. Afterward, Finals MVP Curry, Thompson and Green — the three core members part of each title run, sat together in celebration, with Curry cradling the trophy. And this time, Thompson’s “Holy cannoli, this is crazy” reaction resounded everywhere. With the Warriors winning on the road, the home fans got their moment to cheer the team once more on Monday. “We know what we’re capable of and we’re playing at the highest level,” third-year guard Jordan Poole said Saturday as players went through exit interviews. “We wouldn’t be here if we had any self doubt.

You can kind of feel that positive vibe and positive energy, and we all have each other’s back.” Thompson returned in January from more than 2 1/2 years sidelined following surgery for a torn ACL in his left knee then another operation on his torn right Achilles tendon. But Green then went down followed by Curry late in the regular season. Fellow veteran Andre Iguodala, the 2015 NBA Finals MVP who is now 38 and also missed significant time, returned to contribute during the postseason and help Golden State get back to the top. A whole cast of newcomers contributed to this title — from Poole to Wiggins to Gary Payton II. “This one hits different for sure, just knowing what the last three years have meant, what it’s been like from injuries to changing of the guard in the rosters, Wiggs coming through, our young guys carrying the belief that we could get back to this stage and win, even if it didn’t make sense to anybody when we said it, all that stuff matters,” Curry said. “And now we got four championships. Me, Dray, Klay, and Andre, we finally got that bad boy. It’s special.” Those new faces are a big reason why this one feels a little different. When Golden State won back-to-back titles in 2017 and ‘18 before falling to Toronto the following year, Kevin Durant joined Curry, Green and Thompson as they began to build a dynasty. There were five straight NBA Finals trips from 201519. “We had Kevin Durant for three years with this core group. Those teams were untouchable,” coach Steve Kerr said. “This team has been compared to our first championship team in 2015. Maybe there are some similarities. This is still a really talented group of players.” Wiggins, Payton and Otto Porter Jr. all have expressed their desire to return to the Warriors, while assistant coach Kenny Atkinson backed out of the head coaching position with Charlotte to stay put and try to win another title in the Bay Area. AP Sports Writer Open,” said the No. 3-ranked Jabeur, who arrived at Eastbourne after winning the title in Berlin on Sunday. “Many players were jealous because I’m playing with her. Honestly, Serena is Serena. She is a legend and always will be.” Jabeur said she is hoping to learn “even like 2% from it.” “Now I’m joking with other doubles players,” she said. “I was like, ‘If you have minus 20 grand slams, don’t even ask me to play doubles with you anymore.’” Jabeur has pulled out of the singles at Eastbourne following her run to the title in Germany and will play only the doubles. Still, she’ll likely be kept busy this week given who she is partnering. “I cannot wait to see her, I haven’t seen her yet,” Jabeur said of Williams. “Hopefully we will get together and talk a little bit and see, because I’m really pumped.

According to the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs, “Airborne hazard” refers to any sort of contaminant or potentially toxic substance that service members are exposed to in the air they breath. While on active duty, military service members may have been exposed to a variety of airborne hazards including: smoke and fumes from open burn pits, sand, dust, and particulate matter, general air pollution common in certain countries, fuel, aircraft exhaust, and other mechanical fumes, and smoke from oil well fires. In Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas of the Southwest Asia theater of military operations, open-air combustion of trash and other waste in burn pits was a common practice. The Department of Defense has now closed out most burn pits and is planning to close the remainder. According to Congress.gov, the bill addresses health care, presumption of serviceconnection, research, resources, and other matters related to veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during military service. The bill provides eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical care, including mental health services and counseling, to vet- erans who participated in a toxic exposure risk activity (a qualifying activity that requires a corresponding entry in an exposure tracking record system), served in specified locations on specified dates, or deployed in support of a specified contingency operation. It establishes the Formal Advisory Committee on Toxic Exposure to assist with the various procedures in establishing or removing presumptions of service-connection, as the bill modifies or establishes the presumption of serviceconnection for certain conditions or purposes for various groups of veterans. Among other requirements, the VA must provide a veteran with a medical examination regarding the nexus between a disability and toxic exposure risk activity if a veteran submits a disability compensation claim for a service-connected disability with insufficient evidence, incorporate a clinical questionnaire to help determine potential toxic exposures as part of the initial screening conducted for veterans with a VA primary care provider, and establish a registry for current or past members of the Armed Forces who may have been exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances due to the environmental release of aqueous film-forming foam at a Department of Defense location.

She spent 10 months at Camp Bucca, a theater internment facility that conducted detainee operations. During that period, she was exposed to burn pits, making sure documents were properly disposed. “We were in the burn pits and had to remain to make sure the document disposal was complete,” Neutzling said. “And it wasn’t just paper that was being burnt in those pits.” According to the US department of Veterans Affairs, a burn pit is an area devoted to openair combustion of trash. Waste products in burn pits include, but are not limited to chemicals, paint, medical and human waste, metal/aluminum cans, munitions and other unexploded ordnance, petroleum and lubricant products, plastics and Styrofoam, rubber, wood, and discarded food. Neutzling said the burn pit was “huge, about the size of that baseball field,” she said, pointing to the field at Star Mill Park in Racine. “We had driven into it and stay most effective, some are experimental, but except for oxygen therapy, there is no proven treatment, and there is no cure for the conditions I have.” Getting a diagnosis was a long, exhausting process, and there were few if any doctors familiar with burn pits at that time when her symptoms developed in 2008. First diagnosed with asthma, her symptoms progressed until she found a doctor at Ohio State Medical Center who was familiar with burn pits. After innumerable tests, she was diagnosed by an open lung biopsy. “There was no noninvasive procedure to determine the condition at this time,” she said. “My surgeon told me my lungs were really “sparkly” from the silicon and quartz dust particles from the desert sand, and that contributes to my condition as well.” Neutzling’s daughter Paxton graduated from Southern Local High School in 2021 and is attending college. “She has been through all of this with me,” Neutzling said. “She has been with me when I couldn’t breathe, I know she is stressed by my condition.” After her diagnosis, she received her status of disabled, she began advocating for The PACT Act/ HR3967 SSC. Neutzling has made numerous trips to D.C. and around the area, including West Virginia and Ohio, to gain support for the passage of the PACT Act, and recently attended Senate hearings to move the bill through. With news of the bill’s passage in the US Senate on Thursday, Neutzling said she was happy and relieved, saying, “So many people worked to get this bill passed. It won’t undo the damage to our health, but it will help with medical treatment and assistance to our families in dealing with this issue.” Now she and other veterans await the final passage in the House and the signing into law by the president. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Just like the Viet Nam Veterans were dealing with health issues stemming from exposure. This bill will help all veterans get the assistance we need.” — Andrea Neutzling, Veteran’s advocate with the materials, there were things burning that wouldn’t have been allowed to be burned in the US.” She said she saw lithium-ion batteries, medical waste, and plastics that were lit with jet fuel and burned 24/7. “It was always burning, always in the air at our camp,” she said. As a result, she has been diagnosed by doctors with five diverse types of lung disease, two of which are constrictive bronchiolitis obliterans and pulmonary fibrosis. The conditions can be extremely painful during flare-ups, and she has been told her condition will eventually be fatal. “The condition’s irreversible, I have life-shortening diseases, even with a lung transplant, the condition will continue,” she said. “Studies are being done with veterans to see which treatments will be income households with an household member 60 years or older; if under 60 physician documentaFrom page 1 tion must be provided that cooling assistance is all household members needed for a household and proof of income for member’s health, have a the last 30 days or 12 months for each member; disconnect notice, have proof of U.S. citizenship, been shut off, are trying to establish new service Social Security Card for on their electric bill, or all household members; proof of disability if appli- require air conditioning.
