Portion of US

for Steve Story

Thursday, July 12, 2018 s 50¢

Throwback Thursday: Middleport Pool

Legislation
awaits signature
of Governor
By Sarah Hawley

COLUMBUS —
After approval by both
the Ohio House and
Senate, legislation
which would name a
portion of U.S. Route
33 in honor of the late
Steve Story now awaits
the Governor’s signature.
According to the
analysis of Senate Bill
239 posted on the Ohio
Senate website, both
lanes of U.S. 33 from
Darwin to the northern
border of Meigs County
(near Rainbow Lake
Road) will become
known as the “Steve
Story Memorial Highway” following the governor’s approval.
State Rep. Jay

Steve Story

Edwards announced
the approval by the
House in a news release
on Tuesday.
“Steve Story was a
paragon of this community, as well as a friend
and mentor,” Edwards
said. “It is an honor to
name this portion of
33 after him, because
he has done so much
for this community
over the years. Without
Steve, 33 would not
have been built. Southeast Ohio will always
remember Steve’s contributions.”

Beginning in the 1950s, the Middleport Pool was a summer time staple for children in the village until its ultimate closing decades
later.The Middlepport Pool was last open to the public in 2007 (having opened and closed multiple times in the early 2000s), and was
demolished in 2015. The former pool site is now home to a splash pad. Pictured is the pool in the 1950s (left) and the 1970s (right).
The county’s last remaining public pool, London Pool in Syracuse, is closed this summer with the plan to reopen it in the future after
structural and other issues are addressed.

12-year-old summer can
be a time to relax, have
fun and take a break
from school, but for one

need.

those in need in the area.
Eblin was recognized by

he continues to work
toward that goal.
As of last week Eblin
had completed nine
yards, but is currently
delayed as his push
mower is down and in
need of repair.
The resolution
approved by the commissioner recognized Elbin

Holzer Hospice provides care to patients, families
End-of-life discussions with
your family can be uncomfortable and full of mixed emotions. However, in choosing
Holzer Hospice, individuals
are provided peace of mind
of knowing you are receiving
the type of care you need and
want.
Holzer Hospice, a licensed,
certiﬁed program that provides
in-home along with contracted
nursing home services to
patients with life-limiting illnesses and families, ofﬁcially
began providing care to the
southeastern Ohio region in
1994. Holzer Hospice provides
services to the following counties in Ohio: Athens, Gallia,
Jackson, Meigs, Vinton, and
portions of Lawrence.
The team at Holzer Hospice includes: nurses, social
workers, nurse aides, department coordinators who assist
with general ofﬁce duties and
bereavement services, billing
specialist, and an in-take coor-

dinator. In addition, Holzer
Hospice utilizes volunteers to
enhance our care program.
“We have a great team at Holzer Hospice. Our staff is very
patient-centered to assure all
needs are met for the individual and his/her family,” Vicki
Nottingham, BSN, RN, CHPN,
Director of Hospice and Extra
Care stated.
Staff operate on a team
approach called the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to provide
exceptional care. The IDT is
available 24/7 and consists of a
variety of providers including
the medical director, primary
care physician, nurse case manager, aides, social workers,
local pharmacies, volunteers,
and music and physical therapy
individuals working together to
ensure the patient’s care plan is
effective and if it is not, taking
measures to improve on the
plan.

How Apple’s app store changed our world Starbucks, citing
By Michael Liedtke
AP Technology Writer

SAN FRANCISCO
(AP) — A decade ago,
Apple opened a store
peddling iPhone apps,
unlocking the creativity
of software developers
and letting users truly
make their mobile devices
their own.
The resulting explosion
of phone apps — there
are now more than 2 million for the iPhone alone
— has changed daily
life for billions of people
around the world.
It has unleashed new
ways for us to work and
play — and to become so
distracted that we sometimes forget to look up
from our screens. It has
created new industries —
think ride-hailing services
like Uber, which would
be unimaginable without mobile apps — and
pumped up demand for
software developers and
coding schools.
But it has also opened
the door to an age of
technology anxiety, rife
with concerns that apps
are serving us a little
too well and holding our
attention whether we
want them to or not.

only 6 million devices

Together with other
Apple services, the app

ocean threat, is
ditching plastic straws
By Candice Choi
AP Food Industry Writer

NEW YORK — Starbucks will eliminate plastic
straws from all of its locations within two years,
the coffee chain announced Monday, becoming
the largest food and beverage company to do so
as calls for businesses and cities to cut waste
grow louder.
While the straws account for a small percentage of the pollution that ends up in the ocean,
they’ve become a ﬂashpoint because they’re seen
as an easy way to reduce waste.
“There are several of these single-use items the
public is realizing, hey, we don’t actually need
these,” said Denise Hardesty, a scientist with
Australia’s Commonwealth Scientiﬁc and Industrial Research Organisation who studies plastic
pollution.
A week after its hometown of Seattle banned
plastic drinking straws and utensils, Starbucks
said Monday that by 2020, it will use straws
made from biodegradable materials such as paper
and specially designed lids. The company already
offers alternative straws in Seattle.
Other cities, like Fort Myers Beach in Florida,
have banned plastic straws, and similar proposals are being considered in New York and San
Francisco. The push to ban the straws gained
traction after a viral video in 2015 showed rescuers removing a straw from a sea turtle’s nose in
graphic detail.
The issue of waste more broadly is coming up
in company boardrooms.
In February, Dunkin’ Donuts said it would
eliminate polystyrene foam cups from its stores
by 2020.
McDonald’s said it would switch to paper
straws in the United Kingdom and Ireland by
next year and test alternatives to plastic straws
in some U.S. locations. The burger chain also
said this year it would use only recycled or other
environmentally friendly materials for its soda
cups, Happy Meal boxes and other packaging by
2025.
Starbucks notes the cups for its cold drinks are
made from recyclable materials.
Plastic drinking straws make up only about 4
percent of plastic trash by number of pieces, and
far less by weight. Straws add up to about 2,000
tons of the nearly 9 million tons of plastic waste
that ends up in waters around the globe each
year.
Still, the advocacy group 5 Gyres notes that
the top ﬁve biggest sources of single-use plastic
are plastic bags, water bottles, to-go containers,
to-go cups and straws.
Other plastic items have also been targeted in
recent years.
Several local governments have enacted bans
and fees on plastic bags. Reusable water bottles
have also gained popularity as a way to reduce
use of plastic water bottles, with reﬁlling water
stations popping up on college campuses and
elsewhere.
One reason big chains say it will take time to
change practices may be the difﬁculty in securing
adequate supplies. Imperial Dade, a food service
and janitorial supplies distributor based in New
Jersey, says it’s seen a huge spike in demand for
alternative straws in recent months.
“Our biggest challenge is trying to locate alternative sources so we can satisfy the demand,”
said Laura Craven, the company’s director of
marketing.
Craven also said she’s starting to see more
awareness about the need for exemptions for
straws that bend, which people with disabilities
and others may need. Starbucks says it expects
an alternative it has to work in that regard.
The strawless lids will begin to appear in
Seattle and Vancouver Starbucks this fall, with
phased rollouts within the U.S. and Canada next
year. A global rollout of strawless lids will follow,
beginning in Europe, where they will be used in
some stores in France and the Netherlands, as
well as in the United Kingdom.

Breaking the
silence about
mental illness
When I broke my rib (which I did by coughing
too hard … it’s a long story), I immediately went
to the doctor and got an X-ray.
When I started experiencing symptoms of type
2 diabetes, I got tested at the ﬁrst opportunity and
had my metformin prescription ﬁlled
within an hour of the test results
coming back to me.
When I thought I might be suffering from depression and anxiety,
however, I waited.
I ﬁgured I might snap out of it. I
thought
I needed to be more posiDavid

was a weak person. I believed I had a
Contributing
self-inﬂicted illness that I needed to
columnist
work through by myself. I self-medicated. I struggled through days that
felt like weeks. I stayed awake for days at a time. I
became withdrawn. I didn’t allow myself to enjoy
things that had once made me happy. I became
a zombie, often at the expense of very patient
friends and family.
I also nearly waited too long to get the help I
needed.
My name is David Fong and I am a father, a husband, a son, a brother, an uncle, a journalist, an
author, a graduate of Troy High School and The
Ohio State University, a new dog owner, a lover of
White Castle sliders, a football fanatic and a huge
fan of professional wrestling. I am proud of all of
those things.
My name is David Fong and I also happen to
suffer from mental illness. While I wouldn’t go so
far as to say I’m particularly proud of that fact,
I’m also not ashamed. Not anymore, at least.
For much of my life, however, I was. Like many
suffering from mental illness, I felt stigmatized.
I thought people might think less of me if they
found out I had depression and anxiety.
We live in a world in which it is perfectly acceptable to treat our physical ailments, while those
suffering mentally are often pushed to the fringes
and forced to lead lives of silent desperation. We
are told to have a more positive outlook on life. Is
that something you would tell someone who was
having a heart attack? We are told we have to be
strong enough to get through the tough times.
Would you consider that sound advice to someone with a compound fracture or massive head
trauma?
Mental illness is a medical condition that should
be treated by professionals, just like any other
medical concern. It took me many years to come
to grips with that fact. It’s taken me even longer to
admit it publicly. Even when I ﬁnally started to get
the help I needed roughly eight years ago, I didn’t
feel comfortable sharing my battle in this forum.
For the past 22 years, I have discussed nearly
every facet of my life in this weekly column. I have
shared nearly all of my triumphs and failures with
my readers. For more than two decades, you have
been there as I’ve given intimate details of my life.
You’ve been there with me, reading along as I’ve
gotten married, had children, raised those children, found out my son was autistic, learned of my
sister’s cancer diagnosis and buried my father.
You’ve told me I’ve made you laugh. And I know
that sometimes I’ve made you cry. On more than
a few occasions, I’ve made some of you mad. I
promise, you are never shy about letting me know
when I’ve made you mad … and that’s OK. Hopefully, at the very least, I’ve always made you think.
Whether you agree or disagree, it’s always been
humbling to know there are people who have
cared enough to follow along as I’ve shared every
facet of my life.
With one notable exception, of course.
For the entirety of my career, I’ve remained
silent — at least in print — about my struggles
with anxiety and depression. Part of me was afraid
of what you might think of me, obviously. But part
of me also was afraid no one would believe me.
I’ve created a character of sorts in these pages —
the happy-go-lucky columnist who views the world
with a certain childlike innocence and irreverence.
And don’t get me wrong, that’s absolutely a major
part of who I am.
But that’s only part of the story. There’s also
a part of me that struggles with the weight of
the world. It’s a part of me that never feels good
enough or worthy enough. A part of me struggles
just to make it through the day sometimes.
I can’t in good conscience stay silent about that
part of me any longer, however. Too many people
are out there suffering. We were reminded of that
last week with the suicides of celebrity fashion
designer Kate Spade and noted chef, author and
television personality Anthony Bordain. It hit even
closer to home for me recently when I learned of a
friend’s family member who took his own life.
Maybe, in some very small way, I can help.
There are people out there who need help in
their battle with mental illness. Chances are,
someone close to you is ﬁghting that battle.

Raising kids who read
Why is it important to
expose babies, toddlers,
and younger children to
the world of books? Why
is it important to read
aloud to babies and toddlers? Why is it important to make reading fun
for children?
“Children are made
readers on the laps of
their parents,” surmised
Emilie Buchwald. I agree.
Parents are a child’s
ﬁrst teachers, ﬁrst role
models, and ﬁrst communicators; talking,
listening, singing, making
sounds, smiling, laughing, and hugging. Homes
are the building blocks of
society. And parents are
like the royal family in
the United Kingdom —
of utmost signiﬁcance in
their castle.
In a 2016 Scholastic
study, the results revealed
three out of four parents
who have children ages 5
and younger start reading
aloud before their child
reaches his ﬁrst birthday.
And 40 percent of parents
reported they started
reading when their child
was less than 3 months

VanMeter competes in area all-star game

Courtesy Photo

Recent graduate Paige VanMeter represented Southern one final time on Monday during the 11th Annual Fastpitch Softball All-Star game being held at VA Memorial
Stadium in Chillicothe. VanMeter — a four-year starter with the Lady Tornadoes’ program and soon-to-be Ohio University-Chillicothe Hilltopper — was the Ohio Valley
Publishing area’s lone participant in the event. VanMeter helped guide the North All-Stars to a 9-8 victory over the South. The event featured two games showcasing
area high school and Ohio Regional Campus Conference players, as well as a home run derby competition. VanMeter also played in the college all-star contest,
providing a home run in a 9-1 victory. She is slated to play third base and catcher for the Hilltoppers next season.

Defense makes difference
France close to another World Cup title

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia
(AP) — France’s defense made
the difference — on both sides
of the ﬁeld.
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris kept
out the shots and defender
Samuel Umtiti scored the winning goal from a corner.
It was France’s backline, not
its slick attackers, that carried
the team to the World Cup ﬁnal
with a 1-0 victory over Belgium
on Tuesday.
“This is why football is magical, it gives everyone emotions.
It’s tough not to give into
euphoria, but it’s a fantastic
moment,” Lloris said. “We
feared them on set pieces, but
in the end it was us scoring
from one.”
France coach Didier Deschamps fell into Umtiti’s arms
after the ﬁnal whistle. His
superbly drilled defense, led
by Raphael Varane, neutralized
Belgium’s much-hyped attack to

record a fourth shutout in six
games so far.
“They have so many athletic
players, to have resisted in
defense is very good. We had to
defend very deep sometimes,”
Deschamps said. “We came up
against a very good Belgium
side which controlled the game
more than us. But we also hurt
them.”
Umtiti danced in front of the
France fans, while center back
partner Varane walked over to
them and pumped his clenched
ﬁst. Varane was injured when
France lost the European
Championship ﬁnal two years
ago, and he looks determined
to make up for it.
The spotlight has been on
19-year-old sensation Kylian
Mbappe in Russia, whose electric pace and skill lit up the
tournament. But for the second
consecutive knockout game,

Ex-Louisville players sue NCAA over vacated national title
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A group of
former Louisville men’s basketball players
have ﬁled a lawsuit against the NCAA over
the organization’s vacation of the Cardinals’ 2013 national championship and 2012
Final Four.
John Morgan, one of several attorneys
representing former Cardinals captain
Luke Hancock, the 2013 Final Four Most
Outstanding Player, and four teammates
from that title team, said a lawsuit had
been ﬁled and described the NCAA as
“a morally bankrupt organization” that
exploits student-athletes during a Wednesday news conference.
The NCAA stripped Louisville of the title
as part of sanctions for violations discovered during an escort scandal investigation.
The governing body in February denied
the school’s appeal and vacated 123 victories, including their third NCAA title,
following an escort’s book allegations in
October 2015 that former basketball staffer
Andre McGee hired her and other dancers for sex parties. Louisville removed the

championship banner from its home arena
soon afterward.
“We are used to ﬁghting giants,” Morgan
said. “In the sports world, I don’t think any
giant exists like the NCAA. The NCAA is a
giant, but the NCAA is a morally bankrupt
organization that has taken advantage of
economically disadvantaged kids throughout the country.
“They answer to nobody but are bad for
everybody.”
Morgan also mentioned former Louisville players Gorgui Dieng, Tim Henderson, Stephan Van Treese and Mike Marra
as plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
The liability attorney did not mention
former Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who
has denied knowledge of the activities
alleged by Katina Powell in her book
“Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and
the Escort Queen.”
Several investigations soon followed
after Powell’s allegations, including ones
by the school and the NCAA. Louisville’s
own investigation found that violations did

occur and imposed penalties including sitting out the 2016 postseason in an effort to
mitigate NCAA penalties.
The organization in June 2017 ordered
Louisville to vacate victories that included
the championship and Final Four appearance for activities it described as “repugnant” in its decision. Pitino was suspended
for ﬁve games for failing to monitor
McGee and vowed to ﬁght the penalties.
The school and the coach vowed then to
ﬁght the penalties.
As the appeals process unfolded, the
Hall of Fame coach was suspended and
eventually ﬁred after 16 seasons last fall
following Louisville’s acknowledgment of
its involvement in a federal corruption of
college basketball.
Pitino is not named in the federal complaint and has denied knowledge of any
payments made to the family of former
Louisville recruit Brian Bowen. The coach
is suing the school along with sportswear
maker Adidas, which dropped him after
his ﬁring.

Ryan
defends
Jordan as
‘man of
integrity’
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — House Speaker
Paul Ryan on Wednesday defended an Ohio
congressman accused
of ignoring ex-college
wrestlers’ allegations of
sexual abuse, calling him
“a man of honesty, a man
of integrity.”
Ryan, a Republican,
also suggested the House
Ethics Committee doesn’t
need to examine the
allegations against fellow
GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.
Ryan said that panel
isn’t supposed to investigate allegations from
“a couple of decades ago
when they weren’t in
Congress.”
Jordan was an assistant
wrestling coach at Ohio
State University from
1987 to 1995. Some exwrestlers from the late
1980s and early 1990s
have said in recent weeks
they were inappropriately
groped by doctor Richard
Strauss during medical
exams, and that Strauss
participated in odd behavior such as showering
with athletes from different teams several times
a day.
Some of these wrestlers
have said Jordan knew at
the time about Strauss.
Jordan, leader of the
conservative House Freedom Caucus, has denied
that. Several other exwrestlers at Ohio State
have countered the allegations that Jordan knew
and have come out in support of the congressman.
Jordan was a celebrated

AP SPORTS BRIEFS

Pacman Jones attacked
by employee at airport
ATLANTA (AP) — Police say former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones
was attacked during a run-in with a facility-service
employee at the airport in Atlanta.
Atlanta Police spokesman Jarius Daugherty says
Jones confronted ABM Industries employee Frank
Ragin after Ragin made a “gesture” toward the
football player Tuesday night at Hartsﬁeld-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport. Police say words
were exchanged before Ragin struck Jones with a
closed ﬁst, causing a cut to Jones’ face.
Cellphone video footage shows that Jones and
Ragin traded several punches with each other.
Jones ultimately knocked Ragin down to the
ground with a punch to the face then hit the
employee one more time before a man broke up
the ﬁght.
Daugherty says that at some point during the
ﬁght, Ragin ended up hitting a woman who was
with Jones, injuring her hand. He says Ragin was
the aggressor and Jones defended himself.
Jones and his friend declined medical treatment.
Ragin was arrested on two counts of battery and
taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries.
Jones, a one-time Pro Bowler, spent eight seasons with the Bengals. He’s also played for the
Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys.
Even though police determined Jones wasn’t at
fault, the NFL veteran has had other off-the-ﬁeld
issues. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charge
after his confrontation last year with hotel security
personnel and an obscenity-ﬁlled tirade against
arresting police ofﬁcers.
Police said Jones kicked and used head-butting
as he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a hotel
employee. The NFL suspended Jones for one
game for a violation of its personal conduct policy.

Giants, Redskins make
picks in supplemental draft
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants have
spent a 2019 third-round draft pick on Western
Michigan cornerback Sam Beal, and Washington
has selected Virginia Tech cornerback Adonis
Alexander in the sixth round Wednesday.
New York will surrender its third-round pick in
next April’s draft in Nashville, while the Redskins
give up a sixth-rounder.
Both players were ruled academically ineligible
for the upcoming college football season and
entered the supplemental draft.
Not selected were Mississippi State safety Brandon Bryant, Grand Valley State running back Martayveus Carter and Oregon State linebacker Bright
Ugwoegbu.
Beal’s strength is in man coverage, featuring agility and good hands; some scouts projected him as
a higher prospect than a third-rounder in the next
draft. The Giants need depth in their secondary.
Alexander has good size at 6-foot-3, 196 pounds
and is physical. He does his best work against
passes in front of him and isn’t shy about defending the run.

Marketing firm to pay more
than $24M in bribery case
NEW YORK (AP) — A Spain-based sports
media company must pay a hefty penalty after its
U.S. afﬁliate pleaded guilty to charges it bribed
Latin American soccer ofﬁcials.
A New York City judge ordered the company
Imagina on Tuesday to pay more than $24 million in ﬁnes and restitution on charges stemming
from the U.S. corruption investigation of FIFA, the
international football league.
A lawyer for the Florida-based afﬁliate admitted
in court that the company bribed the ofﬁcials in
exchange for marketing rights to qualifying games
for the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The allegations included an agreement by the
company to split the cost of a $3 million bribe to
Jeffrey Webb, then president of CONCACAF, the
governing body for the sport in the region.
Webb has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
Under the plea agreement, more than $6.5 million will go to various CONCACAF member associations in Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El
Salvador and the Caribbean Football Union.
“As the Confederation and the member associations continue to receive restitution of this kind
for the various harms we have suffered, we look
forward to working with our member associations
and regional unions to direct the payments and
reinvest in football and development to grow our
sport,” CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani

Indians lose to Reds 7-4
Cleveland
allows 7 runs
in 9th inning

CLEVELAND (AP) —
Indians manager Terry
Francona expected to
see Oliver Perez run out
of the bullpen. Pitching
coach Carl Willis made
the call for Dan Otero
instead.
The mixup was a miserable one for the AL Central leaders.
Joey Votto hit a goahead, three-run double
off Otero in the ninth
inning as Cincinnati
scored seven times with
two outs, overcoming a
gem by Trevor Bauer to
beat Cleveland 7-4 on
Tuesday night.
Francona instructed
Willis to have “O-P”
warm up, referring to
Oliver Perez, with the
bases loaded and a 4-3
lead with closer Cody
Allen struggling. Willis
misunderstood the message, believing he had
used Otero’s nickname of
“O-T.”
“When I saw O-T coming through the gate,
it’s not that I don’t think
he can pitch, but it just
wasn’t the guy I was
expecting,” Francona
said. “We had a communication (error). That one
lands squarely on me, no
getting around it. I know
Carl is beating himself up
right now, but that one
lands on me.”
Willis, who rejoined the
staff this season, accepted
responsibility for the mistake. He noted that Votto
was 0 of 4 in his career
against Otero, but said he
should have asked Francona for clariﬁcation.
Allen (2-4) initiated
the sequence by loading
the bases after recording two outs in relief of

Tony Dejak | AP

Cleveland Indians’ Francisco Lindor, left, throws to first base after getting the Cincinnati Reds’ Jesse
Winker out at second base during the fifth inning Tuesday in Cleveland. Tucker Barnhart was out at
first base for the double play. The Reds won 7-4.

Bauer, who struck out 12
in eight shutout innings.
Cleveland’s bullpen
entered the day with the
third-highest ERA in
baseball at 5.13.
“Quite frankly, heart
of hearts, I felt like Cody
was going to get out of
the situation,” Willis
said. “But you know, I
made the mistake, got
the wrong guy up. It’s
not that O-T can’t get the
job done, but it probably
wasn’t the best matchup.”
Adam Duvall also
doubled in a pair in the
ninth, while Jose Peraza
and Eugenio Suarez had
RBI singles off Allen. Cincinnati’s ﬁnal seven batters reached base before
Scooter Gennett ran into
the third out on Suarez’s
hit.
“I take sole responsibility for everything that
took place there,” said
Allen, who was charged
with a career-high six
runs. “We’re conﬁdent
in every guy that runs
out of that gate and we
shouldn’t have been in
that position in the ﬁrst
place.”

Making his ﬁrst start
since being named to his
ﬁrst All-Star Game, Bauer
only allowed three singles
and didn’t surrender a hit
until Jesse Winker’s oneout liner up the middle in
the ﬁfth.
The right-hander
became the second major
leaguer to post seven
consecutive quality
starts with eight-or-more
strikeouts and no homers
allowed, according to the
Indians. Pedro Martinez
holds the record with
eight in 2002.
“Bauer was a handful for us and we ended
up scoring all of our
runs when he exited the
game,” Votto said. “There
is a reason why he’s an
All-Star and there is a
reason why he is fastly
becoming one of the better pitchers, if not one of
the best pitchers in the
game.”
Former Cleveland
reliever Kyle Crockett
(1-0) netted the ﬁnal two
outs in the eighth after
righty Sal Romano went
the ﬁrst 7 1/3 innings.
Raisel Iglesias worked

the ninth for his second
save in two nights and his
19th of the season.
Francisco Lindor hit
his ﬁfth leadoff homer of
the year and fellow AllStar Jose Ramirez had a
solo shot for the Indians.
Ramirez’ home run was
his 25th, marking the
eighth time in franchise
history the milestone has
been reached in the ﬁrst
half of the season.
Very memorable
Reds interim manager
Jim Riggleman earned his
700th career win, but was
unaware of it until after
the game. Cincinnati is
38-36 since he took over
for Bryan Price on April
19.
“This is really an energetic, high-energy group,
a fun-to-manage group,”
he said. “It was on display at its best right
there. That’s probably
the best inning I’ve been
involved in for a long
time.”
The four-run comeback
in the ninth was the Reds’
ﬁrst since June 30, 2006
against the Indians.

Holzer receives funds
for low-dose CT scan
GALLIPOLIS — Finding early signs of lung cancer was once next to impossible, however, studies
are proving that screening with low-dose CT scans
may identify the beginnings of disease in high-risk
patients. Holzer is proud to offer this type of screening at our Athens and Gallipolis locations and has
received a grant from Whedon Cancer Detection
Foundation to provide a limited number of free
screenings to those who qualify.
Holzer Health System is designated as a Lung
Cancer Screening Center by the American College
of Radiology (ACR). Holzer began its Low-Dose
CT Scan Program on Sept. 1, 2015, and to date has
completed over 90 studies. In addition, a number of
patients have not been able to have the scan due to
ﬁnancial constraints. By obtaining these grant funds,
Holzer is able to offer a limited number of screenings
for individuals who qualify.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death
in the U.S. with about 175,000 new cases diagnosed
each year. The 5-year survival rate for lung cancer
patients is only 16.6 percent. An annual Low-Dose
CT Screening Test for individuals at high risk has the
potential to dramatically improve lung cancer survival
rates by ﬁnding the disease at an early treatable stage.
It is estimated that if everyone who is at high risk is
screened, there will be a 14 percent reduction in lung
cancer deaths in the United States.
The goal of screening is to detect lung cancer at
a time when it is not causing symptoms and when
treatment can be most successful. Screening should
increase survival and quality of life. An important
recent study referred to as the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) has demonstrated that screening
under the appropriate conditions and in the right
individuals can reduce death from lung cancer by
20%. Additional factors such as family history and
occupational exposure can play a role and should be

The cancer care you need, right here at home
By Debbie Mitchell
Nurse Navigator

Cancer can strike
anyone, of any gender, at
any age, and at any time
— even in a close-knit
community like ours.
And while the numbers
seem scary (there will
be over 1.7 million new
cases of cancer in the
United States this year),
Pleasant Valley Hospital
is fully prepared to
help you from the
moment you receive a
diagnosis. I will be by
your side facilitating
and scheduling all of
your appointments
and follow-up care and
treatments.
We’re proud to say
you’re in good hands

cancer care to all of

are about more than
convenience; it’s to get
you back to normalcy
as quickly as possible as
we keep your comfort in

It’s never too late to
start taking control
of your health, either.
While the vast majority
of new cancers are found
in adults over the age
of 55, you can still be
proactive, even well into
your golden years. Taking simple steps toward
good health is often the
best preventative, so be
sure to eat right and get
regular exercise. Eating
foods like fresh fruits and

vegetables, whole grains,
and lean meats will help
you maintain a healthy
weight. Plus, you’ll need
quit smoking and avoid
direct exposure to sunlight. And every bit as
important is your need
to get regular health
exams and checkups.
Some cancers—like prostate and colon cancers,
in particular—can be
easily removed and dealt
with as long as they’re
detected early.
Your doctors, surgeons, and nurses are
proud to bring you the
most compassionate and
comprehensive care possible. For more information about the Edwards

Center or the Comprehensive Breast Health

(LIS) or “Extra Help” is
a discount plan that can
lower your prescription
co-pays; cover all or part
of your Medicare Part
D monthly premiums;
or eliminate the “donut
hole” of coverage for
your medications. Part
D is Medicare’s prescription drug coverage and
is available to anyone eligible for Medicare Part
A or Part B. Those with
Medicare may enroll in
Part D coverage through
either a stand-alone plan
or a Medicare Advantage plan. To be eligible

for “Extra Help,” income
guidelines and qualiﬁcations must be met,
and the AAA7 can help
determine whether you
might be able to beneﬁt
from this program, and
if so, assist you with the
application process.
Each year, our Agency
conducts outreach to our
communities in order
to better identify those
who might be eligible
for the “Extra Help”
and Medicare Savings
Programs. Over the past
four years, our Agency
has saved Medicare beneﬁciaries in our 10-county district a grand total
of $2,358.663. Just last
year in 2017, eligible
individuals who reached
out to us qualiﬁed for
either the Medicare Sav-

ings Program, the “Extra
Help” Program, or in
some instances, qualiﬁed for both programs.
In addition, individuals
who called to have their
Medicare drug comparisons checked during
the “Open Enrollment”
period, which runs from
Oct. 15 through Dec. 7
each year, were also able
to save money simply by
changing their Medicare
Part D provider. In all,
through the special programs or drug plan comparisons, our Agency
was able to save individuals $760,800 in 2017!
These savings have
made a huge impact on
peoples’ lives
All of the individuals
we were able to reach
out to throughout our

communities during the
year were also assisted
in additional ways,
including Medicare
Part D sign-ups, help
with ﬁnding a Medicare
supplemental insurance, providing other
services made available
through our Agency, and
references to additional
community organizations that may be able to
help. The AAA7 covers
the following counties:
Adams, Brown, Gallia,
Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto

Thriving from the inside out with Marshall Orthopaedics
POINT PLEASANT
— You may have already
started to see the signs.
Knees that pop and crack.
Pain shooting through
your ﬁngers and arms.
Aching in your joints.
They’re all signs that you
may be having problems
in your bones that need
to be addressed. Thanks
to Pleasant Valley Hospital’s partnership with
Marshall Orthopaedics,
the Center for Arthritis
&amp; Joint Rehabilitation is
dedicated to managing
and treating the symptoms associated with
degenerative joint disease
and weakened bones.
“Joint pain can be debilitating, but we’re here to
help ﬁnd the right treatment that’s speciﬁc to
your particular injury or
health issue,” says John
Crompton, MD, Marshall
Orthopaedic Surgeon.
“Some people have health
needs that require surgery; others do not. Rest
assured, we’ll determine
the right path for you.
Our goal is to help you

bounce back quickly from
injuries or learn to better
manage chronic conditions.”
Older adults often have
such issues as carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid
and osteoarthritis, and
diabetic health issues.
Or, joint replacement —
particularly the hip, knee,
and shoulder — may be
a reality in your future.
The Marshall Orthopaedics team cares for these
types of issues and more
using the most technologically advanced techniques available to us.
And whenever possible,
the Orthopaedics team
encourages you to focus
on your health before
they ever have to see you.
“The best way to prevent major health issues
is to be proactive — preferably before we have to
get involved,” Dr. Crompton says. “Like any other
health concern you have,
we recommend you eat a

emphasizes the persons’
role in managing their
illness and building their

they can be successful in
adopting healthy behaviors. Participants in the
class learn to deal with
pain, fatigue and depression; discover ways
to be more physically

health with physicians

and family; set personal
goals; and ﬁnd ways
to relax and deal with
stress. Participants can
represent an individual

a caregiver of someone
with a chronic disease,
or someone who wants
to learn more about
healthy living.
The “Chronic Pain
Self-Management” workshop is an educational
series presented by the
Area Agency on Aging
District 7 (AAA7) that
is designed to help individuals age 60 and over
with learning proven
strategies to manage
chronic pain and feel
better. The program was
developed with Stanford
University and has been
evaluated in clinical
trials. People who participate in the program

generally report more
energy, less pain, and
improved mental health.
They are also less
dependent on others,
more involved in everyday activities, and are
more satisﬁed with their
lives. The class is not a
substitute for medical
treatment, but can give
you tools and ideas to
improve or complement
treatments and other
efforts to manage your
pain. Participants will
learn about treatment
options and be better
able to make informed
decisions about the
treatments that are right
for them.
“Powerful Tools for
Caregivers” is an educational series that is
designed to provide
family caregivers with
the tools to take care of

yourself while caring for
a relative or friend. It is
available to help family
caregivers reduce stress,
improve self-conﬁdence,
communicate feelings
better, balance their
lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions, and locate helpful
resources.

Getting you back to what you do best
Jackson General Hospital Therapy and Sports Care
Our therapists have
experience working with
people of all ages, targeting individual needs for
personalized treatment
programs. Our staff recognizes the health
and economic impact
of injury in today’s workplace. We understand the
need for a comprehensive
program to ensure a
rapid, safe return to productivity. Our therapists
focus on reducing the risk
of re-injury, preventing
future injuries and returning patients to work
safely and quickly.
“Physical Therapy
begins with a comprehensive evaluation prescribed by the patient’s
medical provider for the
development of a treatment plan to meet the
patient’s needs and goals
to include increasing
strength, relieving pain,
self-management techniques, preventing further
injury and education.”
stated Stephanie McCoy,
CEO.
Specialized Services
Our team works closely
with our orthopedic and
swing bed programs
which include evaluation and rehabilitation of
musculoskeletal injuries
for postsurgical and soft
tissue diagnoses.
Vestibular rehabilitation can be effective in
improving symptoms
related to many vestibular (inner ear/balance)
disorders. People with
vestibular disorders often

experience problems with
vertigo, dizziness, visual
disturbance, and/or imbalance. These are the problems that rehabilitation
aims to address. Other
problems can also arise
that are secondary to vestibular disorders, such as
nausea and/or vomiting,
reduced ability to focus or
concentrate, and fatigue.
Symptoms due to vestibular disorders can diminish
quality of life and impact
all aspects of daily living.
They also contribute to
emotional problems such
as anxiety and depression. Additionally, one
of the consequences of
having a vestibular disorder is that symptoms
frequently cause people to
adopt a sedentary lifestyle
in order to avoid bringing
on, or worsening, dizziness and imbalance. As a
result, decreased muscle
strength and ﬂexibility,
increased joint stiffness,
and reduced stamina can
occur. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a
specialized form of therapy intended to alleviate
both the primary and secondary problems caused
by vestibular disorders. It
is an exercise-based program primarily designed
to reduce vertigo and
dizziness, gaze instability, and/or imbalance and
falls. The goal of VRT is
to use a problem-oriented
approach to promote

problem(s).
Kinesio Tex Taping is
the original elastic adhesive tape developed by
Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979.
Kinesio Tape is latex-free,
hypoallergenic and wearable for days at a time.
It is safe for populations
from elite athletes, weekend warriors to geriatric
and pediatric patients.
Kinesio Tape alleviates
discomfort and facilitates
lymphatic drainage by
microscopically lifting the
skin. This lifting affect
forms convolutions in the
skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing
for a decrease in inﬂammation, reducing pressure
while enabling a more
effective ﬂow of blood
and lymphatic ﬂuid in
and out of the target area.
With the utilization of
single “I” strips or modiﬁcations in the shape of
an “X”, “Y” or other specialized shapes as well as
the direction and amount
of stretch placed on the

tape at time of application, Kinesio Tape can
be applied in hundreds of
ways and has the ability
to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce
inﬂammation, prevent
injury and promote good
circulation and healing,
and assist in returning
the body to homeostasis.
Aquatic Therapy is
offered at the Ravenswood Senior Center
which allows you to get
back to health quicker by
using the natural, physical properties of water in
assisting patients healing
and exercise performance.
It encourages strength
and excellent recovery by
allowing patients to take
on only as much as they
can handle.
“After six weeks in a
rehab hospital, I was able
to get insurance approved
water therapy through
Jackson General Physical
Therapy at Ravenswood
Senior Center indoor
pool. The therapy was

very efﬁcient and enjoyable. I had one-on-one
therapy care and was able
to set a plan with goals.
I improved in physical
strength and movement.”
stated Beverly Segsworth.
Jackson General Hospital’s Therapy accepts the
