SYRACUSE — County staple Rockin’ Reggie supplied the musical backdrop for a Valentine’s Day party at the Syracuse Community Center on Saturday hosted by Buckeye Community Services (BCS). Valentine’s Day exempliﬁes love and caring, and those feeling were apparent during the party as members of BCS joined with their clients to enjoy an afternoon of music, dancing, and refreshments. BCS is a non-proﬁt agency founded in 1997 serving individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities and their families. The agency provides a wide range of services that include community integration, vocational development, employment and adult day support in seven southeastern Ohio counties. Their clients live in a variety of settings: some with their families or in foster care, others in their own homes or apartments. Group homes are also an option. Depending on the need, the agency provides a support system that allows their clients to live as independently as possible. Foster care worker Darla Garbin said her mother was a foster care provider. She pointed across the room to a young woman and smiled, “When my mother passed away, I wanted to continue to take care of my sister, I grew up with her, she was always part of our family, so I became a foster care worker, and now she lives with us.” At Saturday’s party there were guests from Meigs, Gallia, and Vinton Counties. Many BCS clients also participate in activities at Meigs Industries. “Part of the mission of BCS is to integrate those with developmental disabilities into the commu- nity,” Darla Garbin said. “This is just one way of doing it, who doesn’t love a party?!” BCS Program Coordinator Mike Garbin planned and hosted Saturday’s party using resources from fundraisers held throughout the year. He stressed that the agency was non-proﬁt, and receives no state or national funds.

I wondered if the new minister’s job would be to throw street parties or perhaps to set up Andres Oppenheimer a government-run internet dating site. Contributing But I’m not laughing anymore. columnist After interviewing British ofﬁcials and health professionals, I realize that it’s a good idea that the United States and other countries should seriously consider and, perhaps, copy. It’s true, there is a silent epidemic of loneliness in the world, and it will only get worse as we live longer and the population ages. Plus, young people are increasingly addicted to Instagram and other social media where many of them might have thousands of virtual friends, but not one single human friend. Loneliness is producing There are plenty more cases of depresof examples of sion, heart attacks and altruistic behavior other diseases that cost among animals... countries a fortune in healthcare expenditures. that have led Last month’s appointsome scientists ment of Tracey Crouch to conclude that as the U.K.’s minister of humans may loneliness aims to ﬁnd ways to combat loneliness be biologically and help the government altruistic. save money. “Loneliness destroys lives. Loneliness costs the public purse a huge amount of money,” Sir Simon McDonald, head of the United Kingdom’s Diplomatic Service, told me in an interview. “So this new minister is bringing housing policy, social policy, health policy, education policy all in one place, to support programs to help the lonely.” There are 9 million lonely people in the United Kingdom, or 14 percent of the country’s population, according to the parliamentary commission that recommended creation of the new ofﬁce. In certain segments of the population, such as elderly people, the percentage of lonely people is more than 33 percent, it said. The new minister shouldn’t have to re-invent the wheel: There are many simple things that can be done to combat loneliness, such as making more effective use of existing public places for the elderly and juvenile centers that are currently under-utilized, McDonald told me. Some studies have shown that loneliness produces stress, and that it can be as bad for your health as smoking, eating junk food or heavy drinking. We are a social species, and not communicating with our peers has dangerous effects on our health. Among younger generations, tech addiction often not only causes social isolation but also attention disorders, depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation, according to The Truth about Tech, a U.S. anti-tech addiction campaign launched recently. The campaign is led by former executives of leading technology ﬁrms who have become alarmed about the effects of tech addiction on children. Half of teenagers feel addicted to their mobile devices, and 60 percent of parents feel that their kids are addicted, according to a 2016 report by Common Sense, an advocacy group. I asked experts: What can countries do about loneliness, in addition to resurrecting underused community centers? Facundo Manes, a well-known Argentine neurologist, neuroscientist and writer who is afﬁliated with the University of Cambridge, offers an interesting idea: Get lonely people to do volunteer work. In other words, allow them to work together for good causes, while at the same time helping them be less lonely. “Volunteer work is very important, because we all need a purpose in life,” Manes told me. “Being altruistic activates certain parts of the brain that produce pleasure, just like when people consume cocaine, or eat a hamburger with cheese, or make money.” He added that unless we educate people to remain active, have purpose in life and have new projects, “Governments will have to pay for all the health complications that arise when people lead passive lives.” There are plenty of examples of altruistic behavior among animals such as ants, bees, and even gorillas, that have led some scientists to conclude that humans may be biologically altruistic. Why not take advantage of that, and turn altruism into a tool to help ﬁght loneliness? More than half a century ago, in 1966, The Beatles’ immortal song “Eleanor Rigby” asked: “All the lonely people, where do they all belong?” Since then, the loneliness problem has grown dramatically. It’s time to experiment with new ideas to solve it.

THEIR VIEW Lice in preschool, one dad’s story The text landed with a thud. Our daughter “has lice,” it said. “You need to go pick her up from Brandon school.” Levitt Ooph. A Contributing gut punch. columnist Can’t be a joke. Not an auto-correct error. This is happening. Twenty minutes later, I’m in the preschool director’s ofﬁce getting an informal training. “You see this, here. That’s lice.” OK, so what now? I’m running through the list of options: Sell the house? Trash the couch? Quarantine my daughter? Fortunately, it’s not that serious. I’m told to run clothes I’m concerned about through the dryer on high heat and to put everything else in black trash bags for a few days as a precaution. And to take my daughter to the “Lice Lady.” More on that later. I race home with my 4-year-old daughter. Naturally, she asks “Daddy, what is lice?” Here we go. This is one of those moments where my answer will frame her entire perspective on this experience. I need to hide my absolute disgust and fundamental lack of knowledge on the subject. “Well, you know how sometimes you get a cold and have a runny nose? This is a different type of cold where you get tiny little insects that live in your hair and lay eggs, and we have to go get them all out. And then your head will stop itching. It’s no big deal.” “Oh, OK.” I pause to reﬂect on how blank her slate still is. Her ability to communicate so easily these days disguises the fact that her memory of life in toto spans maybe six months. Every day continues to shape her reality. I just told her there are living creatures in her hair, laying eggs and giving birth to more living creatures. In her hair! And her reaction was the same as when I told her a restaurant didn’t have apple juice. Unlike her lice, however, my daughter’s chill was not contagious. I reacted with no chill. As soon as we got home, I ravaged the house in my makeshift lice containment suit: bright yellow rubber gloves and a dish towel secured to my head with a headband. I created piles of towels, sheets and clothes in the basement, separated by likely degree of infestation — deﬁnite lice, probably lice and maybe lice. As I was vacuuming the car seat, the shaming hit my inbox. The subject line of the class-wide email blasted: “A case of lice has been reported in the Chipmunks class,” as if the passive voice would protect my daughter’s anonymity. No kid in that class will be asked how their day was or who they played with. Kids, get ready for an interrogation at pick up: “So, who wasn’t in school today? Let’s run down the list.” No time to dwell on that now. My wife just got home to take my daughter to the Lice Lady. This woman spends all day, every day picking lice out of preschoolers’ hair. Do not pity her; she is well compensated. Four hours later, my wife and daughter return with shampoo, conditioner, a lice repellent spray, nit comb and an empty wallet. The next few days revolve around vacuuming and loads of laundry (mostly to remove any lice bodies — they can’t survive long without a human head to host them — and their excrement) and bath-time combings to make sure nothing was missed. We haven’t seen a louse in my daughter’s hair in days, but I fear our bedtime routine will never recover. “Daddy, come read a book in my bed.” “Eh, how about the chair?” Sorry kiddo.

The group - and their song blaring over the public address system - were the only things missing from Saturday afternoon’s women’s basketball game between the University of Rio Grande and Ohio Christian University. The RedStorm celebrated the career of senior Alexis Payne in pre-game ceremonies and then celebrated a championship and a national tournament berth following a 78-63 Senior Day triumph over the Trailblazers at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande improved to 26-2 overall and 14-1 inside the River States Conference with the win, capturing the league’s East Division title and the overall No. 1 seed in the upcoming RSC Tournament in the process. As a result of earning the RSC’s overall regular season championship, the RedStorm also secured a berth in the NAIA Division II National Championship Tournament, which begins March 6 in Sioux City, Iowa.

Symmes Valley eliminates Lady Tornadoes By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Unfortunately for the Lady Tornadoes, Symmes Valley was ready for the rematch. Just two days after the Southern girls basketball knocked off the Lady Vikings by a 54-51 margin in the regular season ﬁnale in Racine, No. 8 seed Symmes Valley ended the ninth-seeded Lady Tornadoes postseason with a 60-44 decision in the Division IV sectional semiﬁnal on Monday at Meigs High School. Southern (7-17) was held without a ﬁeld goal for the ﬁrst 4:30 of play, as Symmes Valley (12-10) opened a 6-1 lead. The Lady Tornadoes cut the SVHS lead to two points, at 6-4, but the Lady Vikings ended the period with a 13-4 run and a 19-8 advantage. The Lady Vikings opened the second quarter with back-to-back three-pointers and led by 17 points, at 25-8, with 5:45 left in the half. SVHS outscored Southern by a 6-to-5 clip over the remainder of the period and went into the half with a 31-13 lead. Symmes Valley stretched its lead as high as 24 in the third quarter, but settled for a 22-point, 49-27 advantage headed into the fourth. The Purple and Gold began the ﬁnale with a 9-to-2 run, trimming the deﬁcit to 15 points, at 51-36, with 5:25 remaining. Southern never made it closer, however, as SVHS ended their 60-44 win with a 9-to-8 run. ”They shot the ball a whole lot better than they did down at our place,” said SHS head coach David Kight. “We concentrated on (Jensyn Shepherd) and (Rachael Hayes), they had 41 of the 51 down at our place. We tried to take them away and let the other kids beat us, and tonight that’s what happened in the ﬁrst 10 minutes of the ball game. Then we were ﬁghting up stream all the way.” For the game, Southern shot 17-of-71 (23.9 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-20 (10 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Symmes Valley shot 21-of-52 (40.4 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 4-of-11 (36.4 percent) from deep. At the free throw line, SHS was 8-of-16 (50 percent) and SVHS was 14-of-26 (53.8 percent). “We moved the ball a little bit,” Kight said. “Zone makes you stagnant with high school kids, whether its boys or girls. We got the ball moving and we got shots, we were just sort of a step slow tonight. The bounces kind of went their way and we didn’t hit shots that we’d normally hit early. It’s kind of what we’ve been ﬁghting all year long, they played Southern sophomore Phoenix Cleland (1) shoots a two-pointer, during the second half of the the Lady Tornadoes’ 16-point loss to Symmes Valley on Monday in Rockspings, Ohio. hard, they played aggressive, we just needed a break to go our way once in a while and just couldn’t get it.” The Lady Tornadoes claimed a narrow 43-to42 rebounding edge, including 23-to-12 on the offensive glass. Southern committed 21 turnovers, two fewer than the Lady Vikings, with both teams picking up 10 steals. SVHS claimed advantages of 14-to-8 in assists and 8-to-4 in blocked shots. SHS was led by senior Josie Cundiff with 10 points, including three from long range. Baylee Wolfe recorded nine points and three assists, to go with a game-best 13 rebounds, while Jaiden Roberts scored eight points and grabbed seven boards.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Katie Smith, Tina Thompson and Chamique Holdsclaw headline the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame class for 2018 announced Monday. The three former WNBA stars were eligible for the ﬁrst time. Joining them in the seven-member class are former Colorado coach Ceal Barry, longtime assistants Chris Dailey and Mickie DeMoss and longtime New Jersey high school and college coach Rose Marie Battaglia. Dailey and DeMoss are the ﬁrst two assistant coaches to get into the Hall. The group will be enshrined on June 9 at the Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tennessee. Smith was a threetime Olympic gold medalist, former Ohio State star, and led the Detroit Shock to two WNBA championships in 2006 and 2008. She’s ﬁfth on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list. “I am humbled and honored to be chosen as a member of such a prestigious group of athletes who have given their all for this game we love,” Smith said. “Basketball has taken me from Logan, Ohio to places I never would have dreamed. I am grateful to everyone who has touched my life through this sport. Thompson won four consecutive championships with the Houston Comets after getting drafted ﬁrst in the inaugural 1997 WNBA draft. She was the league’s No. 1 alltime scorer until being passed by Diana Taurasi last year. “I am extremely honored to be inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. It is a true privilege to have my name reside in the home where so many of the greats of our game are housed,” said Thompson, who played at Southern California. “As a young girl, little did I know how good old-fashioned hard work and passion would affect my life in such a grand way. Fabulous indeed.” Holdsclaw was the all-time leading scorer and rebounder at Tennessee and led the Lady Vols to three straight NCAA championships from 1996-98. Dailey has been at UConn since Geno Auriemma took over in 1985. She’s helped the team win 11 national Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Katie Smith (center) is honored during halftime of the Division IV state semifinal on March 13, 2014, at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. championships and over 1,000 games. DeMoss has won over 800 games as an assistant at Tennessee and LSU. “I think that it’s a reﬂection just on being able to acknowledge the contributions of everyone, whether it’s a high school coach, a player or a college coach. It’s an honor to be the ﬁrst (assistant) and to go in with Mickie DeMoss, I think that’s ﬁtting,” Dailey said. “You know we’ve battled each other for a long time and we’re good friend and it just seems like it’s a ﬁt- ting move.” Barry won over 500 games at Colorado and Cincinnati and was Big Eight Coach of the Year four times. Battaglia coached for 38 years in New Jersey and an inductee of the state’s Hall of Fame. She won 702 games. The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame also will honor the Women’s Professional Basketball League, which operated from 1979-81 in the U.S., as part of the “Trailblazers of the Game” display at the Hall of Fame.
