Drug Take Back Day adds location in Mason By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP OHIO VALLEY — For the ﬁrst time, Mason County will have three locations to properly dispose of their unused or expired prescription medicines when Drug Take Back Day occurs on Oct. 26. Mason County Sheriff Greg Powers said his department will once again have two locations where the medicines can be dropped, the New Haven Fire Station and the parking lot on Fifth Street in Point Pleasant, next to the county courthouse. A new location this year will be Mason Walmart, where the store and the Mason Police Department will team up to offer the third drop off point, according to Chief Colton McKinney. All locations will be accepting the drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. According to the National Drug Take Back Day website there are no drop off sites planned for that day in Meigs County, although a drop box is available daily at the Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. Drug Take Back Day is a national event, offered twice a year in April and October, and is sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It is a safe and anonymous way to dispose of unwanted medicines. This will be the 18th opportunity in nine years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding homes of potentially dangerous drugs. Last fall, Americans turned in nearly 469 tons (more than 937,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at nearly 6,300 sites operated by the DEA and almost 5,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 17 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in more than 11.8 million pounds of pills. Sites cannot accept liquids, See DRUG | 3A A NEWS Obituary: 2A Weather: 3A Business: 5A Sports: 6A Classifieds: 7A B GENERATIONS Comics: 7B JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

These ISPs will provide “last mile” service to connect homes and businesses to high-speed internet in the remote unserved and underserved areas of Gallia, Vinton, Meigs, Athens, Lawrence, and Jackson counties. “We are excited to be part of the ﬁrst step toward the expansion of broadband into areas of southeastern Ohio, where it would not otherwise be possible,” said BREC Executive Vice President and General Manager Tonda Meadows. Project construction is expected to take three years. Today’s announcement is one of 54 investments totaling $44.4 million via ARC’s POWER initiative, a congressionally funded opportunity targeting federal resources to help communities and regions that have been affected by job losses in coal mining, coal power plant operations, and coalrelated supply chain industries due to the changing economics of America’s energy production. A portion of the ARC POWER Initiative funds were set aside to fund broadband deployment projects that enhance access to and the use of broadband services, which is a critical infrastructure component needed by all segments of the community for business development, job creation, and health care services (including telemedicine). Broadband expansion is necessary in order to help rural areas compete with more densely populated areas. The ARC grant total sum is not to exceed $2,500,000 of actual, reasonable, and eligible project costs. The Buckeye REC non-ARC share is expected to be $1,100,000, in equity, contributed services, or in-kind contributions. Approximately 70% of the total project cost will be funded with grant money from the federal government. “I congratulate Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative for being an FY 2019 POWER grantee and commend them on the leadership they have shown in their community,” said ARC Federal Co-Chairman Tim Thomas. “POWER grants are playing a critical role in supporting coal-impacted communities in the Appalachian Region as they diversify economies, invest in growth-oriented infrastructure, train a next-generation workforce, and ingrain resiliency and hope into their local fabric. Projects like this help ensure a prosperous future for Appalachia.” Associated Press AKCAKALE, Turkey — Turkey launched airstrikes and ﬁred artillery aimed at crushing Kurdish ﬁghters in northern Syria on Wednesday after U.S. troops pulled back from the area, paving the way for an assault on forces that have long been allied with the United States.

For those of us old enough to remember those days, National Newspaper Week 2019 could be one big, fat elegiac nostalgia trip. Today, many newspapers are ditching the imposing buildings for low-rent storefronts and have outsourced the printing. Those could be the newspapers that are left. My hometown had three daily newspapers when I was a kid. Now it’s down to one that shows up in print just three days a week. Youngstown, Ohio just became the ﬁrst major American city without any newspaper at all. As University of North Carolina professor Penny Abernathy has documented in her groundbreaking research on the news desertiﬁcation of America, upwards of 1,300 communities that had newspapers of their own in 2004 now have none.

Yet this is your story too: The future of democracy is inextricably bound up with the future of a free press. So here, dear readers, are some facts you need to know: Biden declares Trump must be impeached By Bill Barrow and Hunter Woodall Associated Press ROCHESTER, N.H. — Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Wednesday for the ﬁrst time that President Donald Trump must be impeached for abusing the powers of his ofﬁce to help his own reelection. Biden made the remarks as part of a blistering 25-minute speech in New Hampshire, departing from his usual campaign pitch and signaling that he will aggressively confront Trump as the president faces an impeachment inquiry rooted in his unfounded accusations that the former vice president and his son had nefarious dealings in Ukraine. Trump is “shooting holes in the Constitution,” Biden said, by asking foreign powers to ﬁnd dirt on the Bidens and then refusing to cooperate with the resulting House impeachment inquiry. “This is a president who has decided this nation doesn’t have the tools, the power, the political will” to punish bad behavior, Biden said, cataloguing a litany of Trump’s actions that the former vice president said warrant impeachment. The speech comes after two weeks of uneven responses from Biden as he and his advisers debat- Elise Amendola | AP Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden gestures Wednesday as he speaks at a campaign event in Rochester, N.H. ed internally the best way to handle Trump’s broadsides. Biden had alternated between muted dismissals at a series of fundraisers and more aggressive public displays, urging reporters to “ask the right questions,” promising he’d beat Trump “like a drum” and using a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada, to hammer the president. His New Hampshire speech, though, was his most thorough, visible retort to date, with his impeachment call timed at midday to ensure that it carries the news cycle. “He’s not just testing us,” Biden said. “He’s laughing at us.” Before Biden had concluded in New Hampshire, Trump retorted via Twitter. “So pathetic,” he wrote, to see Biden calling for his impeachment. The president maintained that he had done nothing wrong. In a July 25 phone call to Ukraine’s president, Trump asked for “a favor” of investigating Biden and his son Hunter, who previously served on the board of a Ukrainian energy ﬁrm that had drawn scrutiny in that country. A rough White House transcript of that call and a related whistleblower complaint prompted House Democrats to begin impeachment proceedings. Without evidence, Trump insists Biden used his role as vice president to protect his son from corruption investigations when Biden pressed for the ﬁring of the top Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, during President Barack Obama’s second term. Ukrainian ofﬁcials, including one Shokin successor, have disputed Trump’s theories; the Obama administration’s position was supported Pyrenees Mix Female Black & Tan White tip on tail �� %�� Black & Tan 1 Blue eye 1 Brown eye 740 742-4204 or 740 444-2331 ��!$��'��#"��'� ��!$�� OH-70149605 $300 For Safe Return by many other Western governments, who saw Shokin as incompetent or corrupt. Since the disclosure of Trump’s Ukrainian telephone call, the president has publicly suggested China should investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings there, comments that Biden noted came with Trump “standing in front of reporters and cameras like I am at this moment.” U.S. election law forbids soliciting or accepting foreign aid in American elections. “It’s stunning and it’s dangerous because it directly threatens our democracy,” Biden said of Trump’s requests. Biden on Wednesday again blasted Trump’s “lies and smears and distortions,” saying the president peddles them because he fears facing Biden in a general election. “He’s trying to create a campaign where truth and facts are irrelevant,” Biden said, adding that the spectacle covers the president’s “manifest incompetence.” But Trump advisers believe impeachment could help him politically, energizing his base and leaving some independents disenchanted with Democrats. The administration, however, has made clear it will not cooperate with Democrats on Capitol Hill and has been resisting requests for documents and testimony from administration ofﬁcials — all while keeping up the verbal assault on Biden. “We’re not going to let Donald Trump pick the Democratic nominee for president,” Biden declared. “I’m not going to let him get away with it. He’s picked a ﬁght with the wrong guy.” But even with Biden’s more assertive posture, questions remain about how Trump’s tactics and the impeachment proceedings affect the Democratic primary. by providing our personal data every time we log on and, often, every time we make a purchase IRL (in real life). Social media sites that data to deliver information that’s likely to keep you on their sites: A resident of Moberly, Missouri who shops at Cabela’s and is Facebook “friends” with Donald Trump supporters is likely to get a very different news feed on Facebook than one who lives in New York City, listens to NPR and “likes” former President Barack Obama’s page. It’s a recipe for never having your received opinions challenged or your mind changed. You can do something about this OK, I will cop to waxing sentimental for the rumble of the printing presses underfoot. But I’m not arguing that we should turn off the internet and replace it with ink and paper. What I do think readers can do this National Newspaper Week is become more mindful about their information diet. Right now, a lot of us are living on nutrition-free snacks. There are still plenty of sources of whole-grain news out there. Some of them, are non-proﬁt news organizations; some are launching web start-ups to ﬁll the gap left when legacy media outlets folded. And some are still at those legacy outlets, trying hard to ﬁnd new revenue streams. Here are some ways to recognize purveyors of real news: Do they sometimes make you a bit uncomfortable by raising doubts about what you thought to be true? Do they make it easy for you to reach a real human being if you have a question or a complaint? Do they correct their mistakes? Do they ask you to subscribe or donate? Because gathering facts costs. Yes, supporting real news is a more expensive proposition for readers than it used to be, but it’s cheap when you consider what you’re really paying for.

WH, Dems clash over rules for impeachment WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Constitution gives the House “the sole power of impeachment” — but it confers that authority without an instruction manual. Now comes the battle royal over exactly what it means. In vowing to halt all cooperation with House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, the White House on Tuesday labeled the investigation “illegitimate” based on its own reading of the Constitution’s vague language. In an eight-page letter, White House counsel Pat Cipollone pointed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s failure to call for an ofﬁcial vote to proceed with the inquiry as grounds to claim the process a farce. “You have designed and implemented your inquiry in a manner that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process,” Cipollone wrote. But Douglas Letter, a lawyer for the House Judiciary Committee, told a federal judge Tuesday that it’s clear the House “sets its own rules” on how the impeachment process will play out. The White House document lacked much in the way of legal arguments, seemingly citing cable TV news appearances as often as case law. And legal experts cast doubt upon its effectiveness. “I think the goal of this letter is to further inﬂame the president’s supporters and attempt to delegitimize the process in the eyes of his supporters,” said Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas. Courts have been historically hesitant to step in as referee for congressional oversight and impeachment. In 1993, the Supreme Court held that impeachment was an issue for the Congress and not the courts. In that case, Walter Nixon, a federal district judge who was removed from ofﬁce, sought to be reinstated and argued that the full Senate, instead of a committee that was established to hear testimony and collect evidence, should have heard the evidence against him. The court unanimously rejected the challenge, ﬁnding impeachment is a function of the legislature that the court had no authority over. As for the current challenge to impeachment, Vladeck said the White House letter “does not strike me as an effort to provide sober legal analysis.” Gregg Nunziata, a Philadelphia attorney who previously served as general counsel and policy adviser to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, said the White House’s letter did not appear to be written in a “traditional good-faith back and forth between the legislative and executive branches.” He called it a “direct assault on the very legitimacy of Congress’ oversight power.” “The Founders very deliberately chose to put the impeachment power in a political branch rather the Supreme Court,” Nunziata told The Associated Press. “They wanted this to be a political process and it is.” �BUSINESS Daily Sentinel Thursday, October 10, 2019 5A Fruth Charitable Trust makes donation Gallia Legislative Town Hall Submitted story POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Jack & Frances “Babs” Fruth Charitable Trust recently made a donation to Trinity United Methodist Church. Twenty-Five years ago, when Jack and “Babs” Fruth were working on their wills, they decided to start a trust that would be distributed upon both of their deaths to several organizations within Point Pleasant. Mrs. Fruth passed away earlier this year on Jan. 21. Both Jack and “Babs” held a special place in their heart for their hometown and the people they lived and worked beside for many years. Their hope was to help contribute to the needs and education of Point Pleasant and Mason County communities. Trinity United Methodist Church received $52,344.55 from the trust. This donation will go toward the principle on the loan for the Trinity Christian Community Center building. The Trinity Community Center was built in 2011. Members of Trinity United Methodist wanted a way to connect the church with the community, and the idea for a community center soon became a reality due to generous people donating both time and ﬁnances. Today, the church sees over 500 people come and use the Trinity Community Center on a regular basis. The most popu- Staff Report Fruth | Courtesy Pictured back row, from left, Rev. S.

Also, the Christian based CenterShot Archery Program has a home there, with 132 individuals participating in the program. “The church members wanted to create a conduit – to reach out and see people embrace the church and what it represents – faith in Jesus,” Rev. S. Jeff Anderson shared with Fruth staff members and family, “Trinity’s Community Center provides an environment of Christian love and support. This love can be modeled and witnessed by children, grandparents, and parents who come to watch their children participate in the programs.” The Trinity Christian Community Center has brought kids and families together from other churches, children with no church background, and children who come from broken and painﬁlled families. Thanks to Point Pleasant having The Trinity Christian Community Center, these children have all come to one place to be loved, given attention, and shown respect by adults who take an interest in helping in the different programs available. Trinity United Methodist Church members expressed their gratitude for the Fruth Family’s gift, “We are very appreciative to the Fruth Family for this gift – when we as Christians see benevolence like this – it reminds us in our inner being what Jesus would have wanted us to do for one another and we feel uplifted, and rejoice in the kindness of others,” Anderson spoke for his church. Jack and “Babs” were co-founders of Fruth Pharmacy. Fruth Pharmacy is a family-owned business with 31 locations in West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky. It has been in business since November of 1952.

The Meigs and Athens volleyball team — who will meet in the Division II sectional quarterﬁnal on Oct. 14 — met in Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division action on Tuesday at McAfee Gymnasium, with the hosts winning by a 3-1 tally. Meigs (3-17, 2-9 TVC Ohio) — which also fell to the Lady Bulldogs (10-11, 6-5) by a 3-1 count on Sept. 3 in Rocksprings — took its ﬁrst lead of the night at 4-3 in the opening game, and led the rest of the way to the 25-16 victory.

Teammates back Kendall after 4-pick game MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Coaches and teammates are rallying behind West Virginia quarterback Austin Kendall as fans question his ability to lead the team following another multiple-interception game. Kendall leads the Big 12 with 190 pass attempts. He knows he needs to limit his mistakes in order for the Mountaineers (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) to have a chance to win games with Brock Purdy and Iowa State (3-2, 1-1) up next on Saturday. “We’ve just got to be consistent,” Kendall said. Offensive lineman Colton McKivitz put his arm around Kendall as the players left the ﬁeld after the junior’s fourinterception performance in a 42-31 loss to Texas on Saturday. “Austin’s my guy,” McKivitz said. “Anything I can do to help him know that we’re going to be behind him no matter what. You have bad games as a player. I know a few guys said they’re pretty upset at their performances. It’s a tough game to lose. But overall, you can’t let this game affect next week.” Kendall had never played a complete game in college before this season while backing up two Heisman Trophy winners at Oklahoma. He’s had had to learn a new system at warp speed since joining the Mountaineers in January under ﬁrst-year coach Neal Brown. Kendall has thrown seven interceptions and nine touchdown passes. Only Oklahoma State’s Spencer Sanders has thrown more interceptions among league quarterbacks. Brown chooses to amplify the positive side of Kendall, who is completing 67% of his passes and twice has thrown for three touchdowns in a game, including against the Longhorns when he had a career-high 367 yards and also scored on a 1-yard run. For the popular coach, sticking with Kendall may be an unpopular choice. Fans on social media implored Brown to make a change after Saturday’s loss. Kendall might be the only true option at this point. Junior Jack Allison attempted two passes in a loss at Missouri and one of them was intercepted. Redshirt freshman Trey Lowe played brieﬂy against Missouri. Brown has said he plans to redshirt Jarret Doege, a Bowling Green transfer who has played in 19 games. Brown said Kendall, who completed 31 of 46 passes against Texas, “gave us a chance” to win. “When you throw the ball that many times you put yourself at risk for some turnovers,” Brown said. “I thought at times he played as well as he’s played all year.” Cyclones coach Matt Campbell is equally as complimentary about Kendall. “The thing that jumps off the screen is just his talent,” Campbell said. “I think anytime you get into a new system and you’re working through that, you’re going to have both positives and negatives. But I think the biggest thing that jumps off is the amount of positives that he’s having. “You can see a young man that’s got the ability to make all the throws, a young man that’s athletic enough that he uses his legs to make things happen.” Kendall said it’s satisfying to have his team’s backing. “I had no doubt that they’re still behind me,” he said. Not all of Kendall’s interceptions have been his fault. Brown said some wide receivers either had the chance to catch the ball or ran the wrong route. Still, three of the picks Saturday led to Texas touchdowns. Wide receiver T.J. Simmons said Kendall’s mistakes stick out because quarterbacks in general are in the spotlight more. “He knows what he did wrong in the game and knows the mistakes that he had,” Simmons said. “Austin is always the guy that has a lot of time in the ﬁlm room, has a lot of time correcting his mistakes and a lot of time just working with the coaches and working with the receivers to get ready for the game. So I think he’s going to take that same approach this week and come back and have a great game.” �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Rebels while Olivia Johnson had a block and an assist in the triumph.

Many choose to remain active in volunteer programs that continue to beneﬁt students, as highlighted in the recent Ohio Association of Retired Teachers, Meigs Chapter, luncheon. The group met on Sept. 19, the exact date on which the chapter was founded in 1969, to celebrate 50 years. Although ORTA was established as a resource for retired teachers, it has become a vehicle for many community and educational programs, and a resource for students requiring some assistance with “necessities.” The ﬁrst endeavor the Meigs Chapter set upon was to help establish the Meigs County Council on Aging and to help start classes for the mentally disabled. Members contributed time and money to help establish the Carleton School. During it’s 50 years the chapter has received state awards for their numerous volunteer activities. The group currently volunteers at area schools with the history program Yesteryear, and presents Meigs County history to students. They collect resources for many different groups, including household supplies for Habitat for Humanity. In addition, a scholarship is available each year for a student entering the educational ﬁeld. President Gay Perrin opened the anniversary meeting by welcoming those in attendance, and followed with the Pledge of Allegiance. Becky Lurched gave A HISTORY LESSON The Ohio General Assembly created The State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS), in 1920 to protect teacher retirement benefits. In 2017 ORTA’S by-laws were updated and its purpose included to state: ORTA’S mission is to monitor, advocate for, and protect the pensions and benefits of its members. The Association shall encourage individuals to improve the social and economic changes and issues relevant to their retirement. the devotion and prayer before turning the podium over to Don Ullman, Southeast Ohio Region OART Liaison. Ullman congratulated the chapter on their successful 50 year and commended the outgoing secretary Janice Weber for her 15 years of service to the group. He also thanked the members for their work in the community. One of the groups more recent programs, and one that Perrin is especially proud of has been to sponsor “Care by the Stairs,” a free store at Meigs High School that stocks easy to ﬁx meals, school supplies, and toiletries. The store is supplied primarily by the Meigs Chapter and offers students the opportunity to “shop” in private. She said teachers know the group understands the difﬁculties both teachers and students face, and can be a good resource. “As teachers we understand the needs of many students whose basic necessities are not being provided at home, so this allows students to get what they need without the stigma of others knowing they need a little help,” Perrin said. The chapter also provides help for teachers who, when they see a student in need, will reach into their own pocket to provide necessities. Courtesy photo Pictured are Delores Ullman, past ORTA officer, Don Ullman, cSoutheastern District ORTA liaison, Gay Perrin, ORTA Meigs Chapter president, Charlene Rutherford, ORTA Meigs Chapter vice president “As a teacher you just can’t see a student go without the basics. I always kept supplies in my drawer and it could get quite expensive, so we try to help out when we can. We provide classroom supplies and gift books for children, and are in contact with area teachers who can reach out to us if they see a need.” See TEACHERS | 2 The three musketeers Events set for By Lorna Hart Special to OVP “We have enjoyed life despite tragedies” MIDDLEPORT – Three women, born in 1922, one in June, one July, and one in August, each grew up during the Depression Era, graduated from high school with business training, had careers, a marriage, and children. Their paths have crossed on many occasions, but for the past several years Velma Rue, Helen Bodimer, and Faye Wallace have called themselves the Three Musketeers. On the occasion of their 97th birthdays, they sat together to reminisce about their connections. First was Rue, the oldest and born on June 10. She graduated from Courtesy photo — The Three Musketeers Middleport High School in 1940. Having taken business courses in high school that today would be the equivalent of an associate’s degree, she entered the workforce and spent one year in John W. Gareth’s ofﬁce in Columbus, Ohio. In 1941 she married, and according to her, “Followed my husband from the time he began ofﬁcers training college and for the next seven years.” The couple came home to Middleport, and established Tom Rue Motors. “I worked in the ofﬁce and he sold the cars for 39 years,” she said. Bodimer and Wallace responded that she was the “brains” of the business, and Rue just smiled. After her husband’s passing, she began to “work on the books” at her nephew’s ofﬁce in Jackson, and spent 20 years driving herself to the ofﬁce every Wednesday until recently, when medical difﬁculties prevented her from operating her vehicle. Bodimer was born on July 23 and Pictured from left, Faye Wallace, Velma Rue and Helen Bodimer.

They did not see each other until his return in 1945, and they married soon after. “We married when he returned, I guess I had time to decide he was the one for me,” she said with a wink. “Actually I knew the ﬁrst time I saw him that I was going to marry him!” Bodimer worked at the Meigs County Courthouse for three years, and spent 15 at a doctor’s ofﬁce, “doing a little bit of everything.” She said until recently, exercise was always part of her morning. “I walked, took exercise classes, I only recently stopped my morning exercises.” Rue and Wallace said, “You could always see her out walking, she never missed a day of exercise.” Rue and Bodimer ﬁrst met in seventh grade at a Gallipolis Junior High, and went on through high school together; Wallace joined them at Middleport High School. Wallace was born Aug. 9, and graduated from Middleport High School in 1941, also having taken business courses that prepared her for jobs in Washington, D.C. After graduation, she said she took a test, passed, and the next thing she knew was on a bus for D.C. “I didn’t know anybody,” Wallace said. “They had women’s housing ready for us, there were quite a few of us arriving at the same time.” After spending one year at the U.S. Treasury, she moved to the Pentagon and spent two years as a secretary for two captains. Wallace remembers vividly the day WWII ended. “There was such a celebration, everyone ran out of the buildings, we were so happy.” A highlight was seeing General Eisenhower and General Wainwright pass by in the parade that day. Wallace was soon reunited with her “sweetheart” after a three-year absence; they married in 1946. Wallace and Bodimer recalled how difﬁcult ILITIES ALL UT AID ARE P it was to be apart from their ﬁancées for so long, with only occasional untimely delivered letters often edited for national security concerns. “We didn’t have phone calls, we didn’t always know where they were or what they were doing,” Wallace said. “It is so different now with cell phones and emails and Facebook. We didn’t have that, it was hard.” Even as the women were separated by distance, their paths were in parallel: each worked in ofﬁces, loved to dance, enjoyed Roy Rogers, experienced President Roosevelt’s passing and lived through World War II. Eventually all three women found themselves back in Middleport, their homes within a few blocks of each other. Again their paths began to cross. Rue’s and Bodimer’s sons played football together at Middleport High School, and all three worked together helping out with Bible School and at the Library. They were always seeing each other at community activities, and said, “It is a small town you know, it was natural for us to get together and go places.” With birthdays in June, July, and August, the women decided to wait until all their birthdays had passed before celebrating together, and have carried on this tradition for over a decade. The women enjoy ﬁnding a different restaurant to go to each year, and until recently, Rue was their driver. “We went to Parkersburg, Point Pleasant, Athens, Gallipolis, all over,” Wallace said. “And Velma would drive.” It was at one of those birthday celebrations that Wallace suggested they call themselves the Three Musketeers and Velma and Bodimer agreed; after being together so long, the name seemed appropriate. When asked what had kept them so youthful, they all responded that exercise and staying active was the secret, and remaining optimistic. All have seen loss and tragedy and gone through some very difﬁcult times while continuing to have a remarkably optimistic outlook. Their conclusion, “We have enjoyed life despite tragedies.” Lorna Hart is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

The more you focus on maintaining your weight, eating a healthy diet, and exercising the better your chances are of preventing serious health challenges down the road.” Those health challenges may range from chronic issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes to more serious issues like heart attacks and cancer to falls and other accidents that can result in broken bones and a loss of independence. In fact, the Ofﬁce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommends that older adults get regular exercise, at least 2.5 hours of moderate physical activity a week plus two days of resistance training to stay at your best as your body ages. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to stay active and ﬁnd health professionals who will help you achieve your goals. The Pleasant Valley Hospital Wellness Center is the perfect location File photo for staying on top of your health. You can enjoy working out in the recently renovated facility with new cardio equipment, including stair climbers, treadmills, rowing machines, stationary bikes, and more—and the Wellness Center also offers classes and services designed for you in mind. The Wellness Center is a member of Silver Sneakers—a program speciﬁcally for ages 65 and older.

It’s easy to ﬁnd out if you qualify for the program. Just visit silversneakers. com to look up your insurance information. The center also offers free aerobics classes to the community on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Aerobic exercise is the best way to boost your heart rate, which in return helps strengthen your heart, increase your stamina, keep you active, and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases. Group classes are also available and provide a great network of like-minded individuals who become close friends while encouraging you to stay on track. The Wellness Center’s Tuesday yoga class features a low-impact workout. Low-impact yoga is a great way to challenge both your mind and body. Deep breathing combined with stretches elongates and strengthens muscles to give better range of motion and ﬂexibility. Yoga is also great for protecting joints, reducing stress, and helping maintain balance. “Here’s a secret to staying healthy as you age: ﬁnd a form of exercise that you love to do,” says Darin Smith, sports physiologist. “Whether it’s taking the dog for a walk, going out for a swim, or meeting up with your friends at yoga or aerobics, it’s easier to make it a habit when it’s fun for you to do every day.” At Pleasant Valley Hospital, we are proud to offer these incredible services to the people within our community.

National Physical Therapy Month, celebrated each October, is a nationwide event that seeks to give the public ﬁrsthand knowledge about the beneﬁts of physical therapy. Physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, and physical therapy students across the country host special events such as ﬁtness clinics, fun runs, athletic competitions, open houses and seminars on health and ﬁtness topics. Activities focus on general physical ﬁtness training and education; injury prevention; rehabilitation following injury, disease or surgery; and other areas of physical therapy practice that help patients achieve and maintain good health. Physical therapists are highly-educated, licensed health care professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility – in many cases without expensive surgery or the side effects of prescription medications. APTA represents more than 88,000 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students of physical therapy nationwide. Its purpose is to improve the health and quality of life of individuals through the advancement of physical therapist practice, education, and research. In most states, patients can make an appointment directly with a physical therapist, without a physician referral. This year’s theme revolves around APTA’s #ChoosePT Campaign, which raises awareness about the dangers of prescription opioids, and encourages consumers and prescribers to follow guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to choose safer alternative treatments like physical therapy. Holzer Health System offers therapy services at our locations in Athens, Gallipolis, Jackson and Pomeroy. For more information on physical therapy, or other services, call 1-855-4-HOLZER or visit www.holzer.org. Submitted by Holzer Health System. File photo Seeking kinship/grandparent caregivers Submitted Grandparents play an important role in families passing along traditions and their wisdom to future generations. Grandparents Day was celebrated Sept. 8 and the month of September is now recognized as Kinship Care Month as increasingly, relatives, such as grandparents, are providing loving and stable homes to their grandchildren. Nationally, eight million children are raised in a family led by a grandparent. In Ohio right now, nearly 100,000 grandparents are currently raising their grandchildren because their own parents are unable or unavailable to care for them. Kinship families face many challenges such as separation or loss of a loved Falls one, inadequate housing, ﬁxed incomes that don’t meet the needs of a larger family, and kinship/grandparent caregivers perhaps not taking care of their own health as they try to navigate the increased demands in their lives. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) offers the Caregiver Support Program for relatives raising children, such as grandparents. The program can provide assistance and support in ﬁnding resources, education including a class for caregivers, and in some circumstances, make small purchases to assist in the care.

Our journey together begins when you’re born and get your Social Security card. It continues when you get your ﬁrst job and follows you through your entire career, marriage, and retirement. Our commitment is to be with you throughout life’s journey. Our promise extends to surviving family members when a worker dies. Some of the Social Security taxes you pay go toward survivors beneﬁts for your family. In the event of your death, certain members of your family may be eligible for survivors beneﬁts; these include widows and widowers, divorced widows and widowers, children, and dependent parents. The amount of beneﬁts your survivors receive depends on your lifetime earnings. The higher your earnings are, the higher their beneﬁts will be. The value of your survivors beneﬁt may be more than the value of your individual life insurance. By making sure your earnings are posting correctly, you are passing down protections to your survivors, just as your parents did before you. You can do this by: Creating a personal my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. Your personal my Social Security account is secure and gives you immediate access to your earnings records, Social Security beneﬁt estimates, and a printable Social Security Statement. Visiting our Beneﬁts Planner for Survivors to help you better understand your and your family’s Social Security protection as you plan for your ﬁnancial future at www. socialsecurity.gov/ planners/survivors. Checking your Social Security Statement to see an estimate of survivors beneﬁts we could pay your family at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. It also shows an estimate of your retirement and disability beneﬁts and provides other important information. For more information, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov or read our publication Survivors Beneﬁts at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/EN-05-10084. pdf. You can also help us spread the word by sharing this information with your family and friends. Understanding Social Security spouses’ benfits Marriage is a tradition that exists on every continent and in nearly every country. Having a partner not only means creating a family unit, it means sharing things like a home and other property. Understanding how your future retirement might affect your spouse is important. When you’re planning for your retirement, here are a few things to remember: Your spouse’s beneﬁt amount could be up to 50 percent of your spouse’s full retirement age amount, if you are full retirement age when you take it. If you qualify for a beneﬁt from your own work history and a spouse’s record, we always pay your own beneﬁt ﬁrst. You cannot receive spouse’s beneﬁts unless your spouse is receiving his or her retirement beneﬁts (except for divorced spouses). If you took your reduced retirement ﬁrst while waiting for your spouse to reach retirement age, when you add spouse’s beneﬁts later, your own retirement portion remains reduced, which causes the total retirement and spouses beneﬁt together to total less than 50 percent of the worker’s amount. You can ﬁnd out more about this at www. socialsecurity.gov/OACT/ quickcalc/spouse.html. On the other hand, if your spouse’s retirement beneﬁt is higher than your retirement beneﬁt, and he or she chooses to take reduced beneﬁts and dies ﬁrst, your survivor beneﬁt will be reduced, but may be higher than what your spouse received. If the deceased worker started receiving reduced retirement beneﬁts before their full retirement age, a special rule called the retirement insurance beneﬁt limit may apply to the surviving spouse. The retirement insurance beneﬁt limit is the maximum survivor beneﬁt you may receive. Generally, the limit is the higher of: - The reduced monthly Courtesy photos Your spouse’s benefit amount could be up to 50 percent of your spouse’s full retirement age amount, if you are full retirement age when you take it. Some of the Social Security taxes you pay go toward survivors benefits for your family. retirement beneﬁt to which the deceased spouse would have been entitled if they had lived, or: - 82.5 percent of the unreduced deceased spouse’s monthly beneﬁt if they had started receiving beneﬁts at their full retirement age (rather than choosing to receive a reduced retirement beneﬁt early). - Knowing how your ﬁnances affect your spouse’s beneﬁt can help both of you avoid future impacts on your incomes. We have decades of experience, and the information to go with it. Access a wealth of useful information and use our beneﬁts planners at www.socialsecurity.gov/ planners. You can get social with Social Security Social Security means many different things to many different people. To a spouse who has lost their partner, it may mean a monthly check to help with childcare costs. For a wounded warrior, Social Security might mean a lifeline of income that improves their quality of life. And chances are, you’ll rely on us one day as well.
