The Point Pleasant Register was awarded first place in its division for “Best Special Section” for the “Good News Edition” which comprised the annual community progress section for OVP in 2019. This edition featured work from OVP editorial staff, including Editor Beth Sergent, The Daily Sentinel Managing Editor Sarah Hawley, Staff Writer Kayla (Hawthorne) Dunham, former Staff Writers Dean Wright and Erin (Perkins) Johnson, and freelancer Mindy Kearns. Sergent and OVP Sports Editor Bryan Walters, also teamed up to take second place in the “Best Sports News and Feature Reporting” category for the story, “Hannan football helmets reportedly stolen… Wildcats tackling adversity.” The story originated in OVP’s Register, Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel, but was later picked up by regional and even national news outlets, shining a light on the small school with a big heart, also resulting in offers to assist the football program. OVP | File Photo Dozens of volunteers were on hand for the Blitz Build on the first Habitat House in Meigs County in recent years. The efforts of volunteers were featured in the “Good News Edition” which recently won first place for “Best Special Section” for Ohio Valley Publishing from the West Virginia Press Association. The “Good News Edition” featured stories focused on “the good news” from Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties. The special section contained 23 original stories meant to uplift and shine a light on what was going right in the readership area. Also included were countless informational stories and advertisements featuring local supporters of not only the project but of their communities. “Though our readers expect us to print all the news, in this edition, we focus on nothing but ‘good news’ and the good deeds being done by those who call this area ‘home,’” Sergent said at the time of publication. “We hope our readers will see the upside of life here in Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties, as we tell the stories of those who work behind the scenes to lend a helping hand on both sides of the river.” The WVPA also announced the Bluefield Daily Telegraph as West Virginia’s Newspaper of the Year for 2020. A total of 16 newspapers earned General Excellence recognition for editorial and/or advertising work. Each year, the WVPA convention is the largest gathering of newspaper professionals in the state.

The Council conversed about the installation of a cell tower with Meigs County Probate Judge Scott Powell, Meigs County Common Pleas Judge Linda Warner and Meigs County Court Judge Michael Barr. State Rep. Jay Edwards was unable to attend due to an unforeseen issue. A letter signed by county officials was read and circulated before the Council exhibiting advocacy and support for the installation of a cell tower in the Rutland area. The letter stated in part, “There are no cellular phone services in Rutland, Ohio. The Village of Rutland is the center and hub of the west part of Meigs County. It houses numerous new businesses and several restaurants. State Route 124 through Rutland is very active with both commercial and residential travel. In addition to the Village of Rutland’s 400 citizens, there are another 2000 people living in the Rutland Township that have no cellular service. “Most important to our request is the fact that Rutland is the location of the largest school in all of Meigs County. Both the Meigs Local Primary School and the Meigs Intermediate School along with the Meigs Local bus garage, are located in Rutland and have over 1000 students and staff in attendance every school day. In addition, there are countless parents and others that come every day to the school for business and extracurricular events as a result of the school. There is clearly much more going on in Rutland than a census or simple statistics would show. There is a true need to provide cellular coverage to protect our children and families in an emergency,” added the letter which was signed by 13 county elected officials. Mayor Tyler Eblin responded and indicated that he and members of Council will collaborate in drafting written support and are committed to working with county and state officials in formulating the best plan forward in launching such a project. No further action was taken on the cell tower project; however, Mayor See TOWER | 3 �NEWS 2 Thursday, October 8, 2020 HEALTHY WORDS TO LIVE BY Breast cancer: Are you at risk? With the exception of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among American women. Some of the most common risk factors for breast cancer include: Getting Older: Most breast cancers are found in women age 55 and older. Family History: Having a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) with breast cancer almost doubles a woman’s risk. Having two first-degree relative increases the risk about three-fold. Dense Breast Tissue: This increases the risk of breast cancer by 1 ½ to 2 times compared to a woman with average breast density. Other risk factors include being overweight, drinking alcohol, lack of physical exercise and having postmenopausal hormone therapy. A yearly mammogram is your best defense against breast cancer. Yet all too often, women find excuses not to have one. Women should begin having annual mammogram screenings starting at age 40 or at age 35 if they have a family history of breast cancer. A yearly mammogram is your best defense against breast cancer. A lump in the breast is a common warning sign, but it isn’t the only one and may not be the first to develop. Other common signs of possible breast cancer include: Lumps in the underarm area; Changes in breast size and shape; Pain in a specific area that does not go away; Prominent veins on the surface of the breast; Nipple discharge that starts suddenly; A sore or rash on the nipple; Swelling, redness, or darkening of the breast; Dimpling of the skin on the breast; Inversion of the nipple of other parts of the breast.

Ohio must balance the use of the federal pandemic aid dollars for such assistance while reserving money for testing, and some of the state’s approach depends on whether Congress will pass another aid package, the governor said. But even as he was making those comments, President Donald Trump announced he was ending talks with congressional Democrats over another stimulus package and that no additional aid would be negotiated until after the election. Ohio brought in $8.7 million more than expected last month, or just 0.5% above what it anticipated, with sales tax from car purchases making up for drops in other tax revenue. The state’s commercial activities tax on businesses was above what was anticipated but remains down for the business year beginning July 1, the state Office of Budget and Management reported Tuesday. Meanwhile, unemployment claims in Ohio have ticked upward in recent days after weeks of declines from their record highs at the start of the pandemic. First-time claims rose for the second time in two weeks, the state said on Oct. 1, jumping to 17,944 for the week ending Sept. 26, a 3% increase from the previous week. Also Tuesday, DeWine announced both the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns can boost the number of spectators to 12,000 per game for their remaining home games, up from 6,000. The governor also said he is looking into anecdotal reports from superintendents concerned that most students quarantined after contact with people who tested positive for the coronavirus don’t ever get sick. The governor offered continued prayers for Trump’s own recovery from the coronavirus, but also offered an uncharacteristic criticism of the president. “I wish the president would wear the mask more,” DeWine said. “I wish he would wear it all the time in public.” After returning to the White House on Monday night from Walter Reed hospital, the president removed his mask and gave a double thumbs-up from the South Portico terrace, where aides had arranged American flags for the sunset occasion. He entered the White House, where aides were visible milling about the Blue Room, without wearing a face covering.

Appeals court: Trump must turn over taxes to prosecutor By Larry Neumeister Associated Press NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s accountant must turn over his tax records to a New York state prosecutor, an appeals court ruled Wednesday in a decision that likely sets up a second trip to the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said in a written decision that a stay of a lower-court decision will remain in effect so Trump’s lawyers can appeal the ruling to the high court. In August, a district court judge had rejected their renewed efforts to invalidate a subpoena that the office of Manhat- tan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. issued to Trump’s accounting firm last year. Part of Vance’s probe pertains to an investigation related to payoffs to two women — porn actress Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal — to keep them quiet during the 2016 presidential campaign about alleged extramari- tal affairs with Trump. Trump has denied the affairs. Vance is seeking more than eight years of the Republican president’s personal and corporate tax records, but has disclosed little about what prompted him to request the records. In one recent court filing, Vance’s lawyers have said he was justified in demanding them because of public reports of “extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.” A Justice Department spokesperson said the department was reviewing the ruling. The Supreme Court in July ruled 7-2 against the president, rejecting Trump’s arguments Our Top Stories. Each Day. FREE.

But the court said Trump can challenge the subpoena on other grounds, like anyone else who receives a subpoena. The likelihood that the taxes would be released was unlikely to be resolved before the November election, especially since the high court is down to eight justices after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And any release would not result in immediate public disclosures, since grand jury proceedings are secret. Through his lawyers, Trump argued that the subpoena was issued in bad faith, might have been politically motivated and amounted to harassment of him, especially since the wording copied the language in congressional subpoenas. The lawyers also maintained that seeking tax records dating back to 2011 was a “fishing expedition” and the overbroad request should be rejected. In its decision, the 2nd Circuit disagreed. “We hold that none of the President’s allegations, taken together or separately, are sufficient to raise a plausible inference that the subpoena was issued ‘out of malice or an intent to harass,’” the appeals court said. �S ports Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, October 8, 2020 5 Lady Rebels top East, Belpre By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com Alex Hawley|OVP Sports South Gallia junior Cara Frazee (20) goes up for a block in front of teammate Emma Shamblin (21), during the Lady Rebels’ match against Eastern on Sept. 17 in Mercerville, Ohio. MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Back in the win column in a big way. The South Gallia volleyball team ended a five-match skid with a straight games sweep of non-league guest Sciotoville East on Monday, and then avenged a Sept. 10 setback to Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Belpre in straight sets on Tuesday in Gallia County. On Monday, the Lady Rebels (4-10, 1-8 TVC Hocking) trailed 2-1 in the 2 more Titans positives, Pats cancel practice NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee will not be returning to the team’s facility Wednesday after two more players tested positive amid the NFL’s first COVID-19 outbreak, and the New England Patriots have canceled practice amid reports that a third player has tested positive for the coronavirus. Sports Illustrated reported that reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore tested positive for the virus on Wednesday and was added to the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list. The Patriots did not give a reason for Wednesday’s cancellation and did not immediately respond when asked if it was related to a third positive test. Quarterback Cam Newton tested positive Saturday and is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and the Patriots placed a defensive tackle from the practice squad on that list Tuesday. The Patriots are scheduled to host Denver on Sunday. “WEAR YOUR MASK. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE,” Newton posted on Twitter Wednesday along with a photo of himself wearing a mask. Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said no one’s perfect when asked about the NFL’s stricter protocols as his Bills (4-0) prepare for a game at Tennessee that may now be in jeopardy. McDermott said no one’s perfect. “We’re fighting an uphill battle,” McDermott said. “I think we know that there’s a challenge because of how easily this thing spreads.” McDermott said the Bills have had no positives after beating the Raiders 30-23 in Las Vegas last week. The Raiders placed defensive tackle Maurice Hurst on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. The Titans had no positive tests Monday or Tuesday for the first time after six consecutive days of positive results. A third straight day was necessary for the team to be allowed back in its headquarters, stopping its planned return, according to a person familiar with the situation. Instead, the Titans’ outbreak now is up to 22 cases with 20 now returned since Sept. 29, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither the NFL nor the Titans announced the latest results. The Titans announced they will not have any See NFL | 6 opener, but took the edge at 3-2 and never looked back on their way to the 25-14 win.

Tennessee hasn’t been together as a team since Sept. 27, when the Titans beat the Vikings 31-30 in Minnesota. The Titans played that game after leaving outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen in Nashville following his positive test result Sept. 26, and the NFL shut down the team facility on Sept. 29.

As a young boy growing up in Hartford, he would often go to the side track along the railroad tracks in front of his house and talk to the engineers. As a young man out of Wahama High School, he became an electrician apprentice, and worked for both the New York Central and the C&O railroads. But for the last 56 of his 86 years, he has been the conductor of his own railroad in the basement of his house. Knight bought his first HO gauge steam engine 56 years ago as a way to have some fun and quality time with his son Kevin. He said that first engine and accompanying cars were held atop a piece of plywood. It provided entertainment for them, as well as a second son, Jason, who came after. But as the number of cars and engines grew, so did the need for more space. Dean hired workers to actually dynamite under his house to make a train room. After laying the block walls, the new town began. Now incorporating all four sides of the room, the women of the family were called upon to help, as well. Wife Bunny, and daughters Kim and Beth, were recruited to build mountains, tunnels and other terrain from paper mache. To enter the room, one must duck under a railroad bridge that crosses the doorway. Pine trees are painted along the walls, and even the curtains that hide a storage area are painted with Mindy Kearns | Courtesy photos Dean Knight has built much of the landscape that surrounds the train system in his basement. He has a replica of the former Hartford train station, a grainery made from a cereal box, tower HO gauge trains encompass all four walls of a from clothes hangers, and lights from commode room Dean Knight built in the basement of his supply water lines. New Haven home. He is pictured as he operates the system that has been enjoyed by himself and kits are often bought new from eBay at three more generations. a reduced price. Some of the buildings a theme. Among the landscape is a replica of the Hartford train station, as well as bridges named after grandsons, and a popular Deano’s Diner. It was the grandsons, Caleb and Benjamin, as well as eldest great-grandson Noah, who enjoyed the set after Dean’s own sons grew older. Now with the grandsons and Noah also grown, it is the third generation of boys, Dean’s younger great-grandsons Foster Jack and Grady, who join Dean at the train town. “Electronics and girls happen with every generation, and they finally lose interest,” Dean chuckled. He has a while before that worry will come again though. With Grady being seven, and Foster Jack, five, their interest should remain for several years. Even great-granddaughter Greta, only three, is an expert at blowing the whistles. Dean’s set-up is an even mixture of the purchased and the created. Engine were purchased, but many were made by Dean’s own hands. The “Caleb Shay” bridge, for example, is made from a heavy plastic bread crate. There is also a tower from clothes hangers, a grainery from a cereal box, and lights from commode supply water lines. “There were no hobby shops around when I built this,” Dean said. “I just love it. The wiring and all is my own design.” And there are no remote controls or computer generated trains for Dean. Underneath the town is a plethora of intricate wiring, and he has the ability to run five trains at a time off of seven throttles. Daughter Beth Foreman said one of her fondest and most humorous memories was when she and her dad were operating the set one day. She said just as an engine was coming through the tunnel, a tiny mouse ran out, being chased by the train. Trains might hold a special place in Dean’s heart, but he is quick to say not the most important place.

He has also been on two missionary trips, one to San Diego, California, to work on Mercy Ships, floating hospitals that provide free surgeries for people where care is almost non-existent, and to Mexico, where he wired a church school.

Copeland was a great company to work for; they treated us with the utmost respect. I loved working with the children and with school nurse Junie Maynard and administrative assistant Nikki Whobrey.

If you are one of the 50 million Americans who do, Pleasant Valley Hospital is here to make sure you or a loved one don’t suffer needlessly. In this article, we provide helpful information about the five most common types of chronic pain— arthritis, nerve pain, lower back pain, hip and knee pain, and migraine headaches —as well as guide you to the medical professionals who can provide the help and expertise you need. Amy Mullins, director of Jimmy Clagg, occupational Dr. John Crompton, Josh Venoy, physical Kristi Erner, physical rehabilitation at PVH. therapist at PVH. orthopedic surgeon, at therapist at PVH. therapist at PVH. PVH. Arthritis About 54 million American adults have some form of arthritis, and that number is climbing as baby boomers grow older. Simply put, arthritis is inflammation of the joints. There are 147 joints in your body, and almost any joint in the body can be affected, but arthritis usually strikes in the hands, hips, knees, feet, and spine. In the worst case, bone rubs against bone. The pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis can be severe, even debilitating. There is no known cure for osteoarthritis, but there are several remedies that can relieve or eliminate the pain. For example, a physical therapist can create a customized exercise plan that can strengthen the muscles around the joint, increase your flexibility and reduce your pain. You can also consult an occupational therapist, who can teach you the techniques that put less stress on your joints during daily activities. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is the form of the disease most prevalent in people 60 and older. This degenerative joint disease occurs when there is a breakdown of cartilage in the joints. The less cartilage there is, the greater the pain. Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the lining of a joint becomes inflamed. It’s a serious, painful and often debilitating condition. Treatment usually involves a combination of medications, regular exercise, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Surgery is another possibility. Nerve Pain Nerve pain, also known as neuropathic pain, is usually experienced as a stabbing, prickling, burning or tingling sensation. Often caused by damage or irritation to a nerve, neuropathic pain can be the result of a variety of medical issues. Medications such as anti-depressants and pain relievers are usually the first treatment used to relieve nerve pain. Electrical stimulation is another choice in some cases. When the nerve pain is caused by diabetes, managing the disease is often the first priority. Cold packs and splinting can be used for carpal tunnel. Diabetic Nerve Pain Up to 70 percent of people with diabetes will suffer from nerve damage. If you are a diabetic and are experiencing burning or numbness in your feet, see a medical professional immediately. Autoimmune Diseases A variety of autoimmune diseases can produce symptoms of nerve pain. These include multiple sclerosis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Carpal Tunnel Carpal tunnel is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand and wrist. It occurs when too much pressure is placed on the median nerve in the wrist. Fibromyalgia About four million American adults suffer from a condition called fibromyalgia, which causes pain all over the body as well as fatigue, sleep problems, and mental and emotional distress. Fibromyalgia can also cause a higher sensitivity to pain. Lower Back Pain About 80 percent of American adults experience low back pain at some point in their life. In fact, more than 25 percent of adults say that they’ve experienced low back pain during the past three months. Back pain that lasts more than 12 weeks is considered chronic. About 20 percent of people who experience low back pain will develop chronic back pain. In those cases, a physical therapist can use a variety of techniques to relieve the pain and then, after the pain decreases, teach exercises to keep the pain from returning. In the most severe cases of back pain, surgery may be an option. Lower back pain has several causes, including: Dr. Victor Jaramillo, neurologist, at PVH. or ruptured discs occur when the discs in the spine become compressed and bulge outward or rupture, irritating a nearby nerve. Sciatica Sciatica occurs when a herniated disc or bone spur compresses the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. The sciatic nerve branches from the lower back through the hips and then down each leg. The most common symptom is pain that radiates from the lower back down the side of the legs. Numbness, tingling and weakness in the leg can also occur. PVH | Courtesy photos Christa Grady, physical therapist at PVH. The hip joint can withstand repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. The hip is the body’s largest joint and fits together in such a way as to allow fluid movement. Knee joints can also withstand quite a bit of wear and tear, and typically begin to show signs of pain the Spinal Stenosis older a person gets. This painful When chronic pain condition occurs begins to creep in for when the spinal canal, either hips or knees, it located in the lower is usually the result of back, narrows, and muscles and tendons reduces the space for being overused, the spinal cord and cartilage becoming nerves, which causes damaged, or a leg pain, numbness fracture or break in and/or tingling. the bone.

There is strong scientific evidence that screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 45 saves lives! Both men and women can get colorectal cancer, and the risk increases with age. If you are 45 or older, getting a colorectal screening test could save your life. Here’s how. The gold standard for colorectal cancer screening is a screening colonoscopy. A screening colonoscopy is a simple outpatient test done under sedation that utilizes digital imaging equipment. Most colon cancers start as polyps, which can be removed during this procedure. It’s important to note that removal of these polyps may prevent colon cancer. Keep in mind: most colon polyps and early cancers usually have no symptoms. That’s why it’s so important to have a colonoscopy to prevent further problems. disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease); A confirmed or suspected hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer or Screening HNPCC); recommendations A personal history People who are age of getting radiation to 45 or older.

There’s nothing to stop insurers from covering the tests starting at age 45, and some are likely to do so, but at this time insurers are not required to (and some might not) cover the cost of colorectal cancer screening before age 50. Pricing: The Affordable Care Act requires health plans that started on or after September 23, 2010 to cover colorectal cancer screening tests, which includes a range of test options. In most cases there should be no outof-pocket costs for these tests, such as co-pays or deductibles.

Seniors are more susceptible to upper respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and pneumonia and when blood oxygen levels drop, it is advised to take a break or contact your medical provider to discuss your health. Maintaining a healthy diet is also a big part of achieving optimal health. It is recommended that seniors consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as, meat for a good source of protein.
