Pomeroy Council meets

By Erin Perkins

Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — The Pomeroy Village council brought forth plans of
the Main Street event Treat Street
which is set for Oct. 26 at 6:30
p.m.
Council approved spending $250
on candy for the event and having
the Pomeroy Fire Department to
block through trafﬁc during the
event.
The annual event which replaced
the traditional Trick or Treat in
the village brings hundreds of kids
and adults to the village to collect candy, as well as take part in
games and a costume contest.
The event runs from 6:30-8 p.m.
along Main Street in the down-

town business area.
In other business, Pomeroy’s
water production out of a single
well was discussed. The cost of a
new well is $30,000 according to
estimates. One option raised by
Mayor Don Anderson was buying water from Middleport. Sue
Baker, ﬁscal ofﬁcer, added that
this option would lower water bills
for Pomeroy. Council member Vic
Young voiced to have the well estimate made by another entity.
Local parks located in Minersville and Mechanic Street in
Pomeroy are being reviewed by
the city’s insurance. Head entrapment zones have been found on
play equipment and suitable landings for fall heights have not been
met according to discussions. The

village has until Dec. 31 to pitch a
solution of these problems to the
insurance.
Maureen Hennessy shared she
visited Hocking College for the
Entrepreneurial Communities
Project. She stressed the importance of community support
for local businesses to prosper.
Meetings for the Entrepreneurial
Communities Project are hoped to
begin the ﬁrst week of November
where members can share ideas
and learn from one another. For

Students at Carleton School received a
lesson in safety on Friday with a visit
from several first responders. Members of
the Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department
brought three trucks for the students to
see and learn about, as well as giving the
students fire hats and goodie bags with
fire safety information. Meigs County EMS
was also at the school, showing the kids
the inside of the squad. The Meigs County
Sheriff’s Office took part in the event
with K9 Bax and Deputy Brandy King, as
well as Deputy Clint Patterson and Safety
Pup. Safety Pup was a favorite among all
ages, posing for pictures with those from
preschool through the adult participants
at Carleton School and Meigs Industries.
The annual safety day was held during Fire
Prevention Week, Oct. 8-14. The theme for
this year’s Fire Prevention Week was “Every
Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out.”

THEIR VIEW

Are you sure you
want to force
them to stand?
Assuming that you could force a six-and-halffoot-tall, 290-pound, thoroughly muscled man
with an aggressive attitude to do something —
such as stand up for the national anthem — are
you sure that you would want to inject that element of coercion into what should be a respectful, devoted and completely voluntary act?
This week, the National Football League and
the team owners will talk about this. They’ve
invited a few players to sit in, as well.
At issue is what to do about players who
choose to take a knee during the playing of the
national anthem or who prefer to stay in the
locker room until the game starts. Whatever
the league and the owners decide, no one can
be sure what will happen.
Last year the owners sent a notso-subtle message to the players
by declining to sign the original
kneeler, Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback that many agree is better
than other quarterbacks currently
employed by NFL teams.
John M.
But the message didn’t get
Crisp

Contributing began to choose not to stand durcolumnist
ing the anthem. Inexplicably, but
maybe not surprisingly, President
Trump exacerbated the controversy by urging the owners to fire any player who
won’t stand up, driving the point home with
trademark name-calling.
At first, some owners tried to placate the
players. For example, Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones knelt arm-in-arm at midfield with his
players before the anthem, during which the
whole team dutifully stood.
But this hasn’t worked, either. On Oct. 8,
Jones, a Trump supporter, took a tougher line:
“But if there’s anything that is disrespectful to
the flag, then we will not play.” The expression
is ambiguous, but presumably it means that
any player who doesn’t stand up will be sitting
down — on the bench. And presumably he
— like Kaepernick — will eventually lose his
livelihood.
No one has the right to gainsay anyone else’s
patriotism, but it’s worth noting that the owners and the league, for all their public devotion
to the flag, have an enormous stake in their
$10-billion industry. And with President Trump

wrote an open letter urging his 1,700
fellow players to “collaborate and exercise our
agency,” before they receive their “respective
marching orders.”
Of course the issues that provoked in some
players the current lack of enthusiasm for the
national anthem ceremony involve questions
of racial injustice and inequality. And while 70
percent of the NFL players are black, there are
still plenty of white players who appreciate the
right to free expression and who recognize that
the racial issues being raised are legitimate.
Besides, nobody wants to be pushed around.
And that probably includes you, the fan.
In fact, the fan’s obligation to show quiet
reverence to the flag is identical to the players’. And certainly not every fan dutifully does
so. During the anthem, plenty of fans are talking, goofing, taking selfies, buying hotdogs or
standing in line at the urinals.
And while the league doesn’t have any incentive to force these fans into line, there’s a certain strain of Americanism that doesn’t hesitate
to use outward symbols of patriotism as an
index on what’s in a citizen’s heart. Before long
we’re looking around us to see who’s standing
for the anthem, who’s wearing a flag lapel pin
and who’s displaying sufficient reverence during the Pledge of Allegiance. And we’re making
judgments about who’s a good American and
who isn’t.
That’s the problem with these patriotic rituals. They’re easily overused to the point of
meaninglessness or, conversely, they become
litmus tests for patriotism. Most important,
they have to be matters of free choice; once
coercion becomes part of the picture, the ritual
itself is hollowed out, no longer worth performing.

THEIR VIEW

Trump head, Pence tail
If a metaphor could
be used for this White
House, it might be a
two-sided coin with
President Trump the
head and Vice President
Mike Pence the tail.
The president tends
toward the bombastic
to get people’s attention
and make his points,
while his vice president
is calm and measured
in his response to questions, sometimes resembling a contemplative
monk. In many ways
they complement each
other.
During an interview
Thursday, the vice president said tax reform is
now the administration’s
top domestic priority and that “we have
the best opportunity
between now and the
end of the year to do
that.” He believes it will
get done.
Why the optimism?
Because, he says, “there
is broad-based and more
than a little bipartisan
support for tax relief to
get this economy growing again.” Pence thinks
the “failure to repeal
Obamacare in 2017
has created (an) even
greater sense of urgency.
There’s a great sense of
anticipation among the
American public. I think
Members of Congress
are very aware of that.”

WV small businesses
deserve a fair tax system
By U.S. Senator Shelley
Moore Capito (R-W.Va.)
Daily Mail opinion
page of the Charleston
Gazette-Mail
October 12, 2017
“Without question,
small businesses are a
major economic driver
and source of jobs in our
economy. They are the
entrepreneurs and the
risk-taskers. And their
success makes a big difference in our communities and in our lives.
These local businesses

create opportunity for so
many.
“In fact, more than
95 percent of West Virginia businesses are
small businesses, and
they employ half of West
Virginia’s private sector
workforce.
“Today, I am bringing
together a roundtable to
hear directly from small
business owners and
other local stakeholders
in Charleston.
“That’s because these
businesses and their
employees stand to beneﬁt
greatly from pro-growth
tax reform.
“Currently, these small
businesses face some of
the highest tax rates in
the world. And those
rates vary widely from
business to business,
leaving many small business owners unsure what
their effective tax rate
really is.
“A simpler tax code
with lower rates is critical for businesses here in
West Virginia.
“Businesses and individuals spend six billion

hours annually complying with the tax code.
That costs the United
States $195 billion a year
in lost productivity.
“Our small businesses
deserve a better system
– and that’s what the
tax reform debate is all
about.
“It’s about creating an
environment that promotes innovation and
growth, and makes small
businesses and workers
more competitive.
“It’s about creating
more jobs for the middleclass, fairer taxes, and
bigger paychecks for
hard-working West Virginians.
“It’s about allowing
small businesses to focus
on what they do best: creating products, providing
important services, and
hiring new employees.
“Tax reform, as much
as any other policy that
Congress can advance,
will promote growth and
provide more job opportunities for West Virginians.
“Across the entire country, only two in ﬁve dis-

tressed communities have
seen any job growth during the past ﬁve years.
And half of America’s
job growth has occurred
in just 2 percent of the
nation’s counties.
“It’s no wonder that
small businesses have
found it difﬁcult to
open, let alone succeed,
in many parts of the
country. Because of our
outdated tax code, real
wages for most workers
have barely increased for
decades.
“Tax reform can
change that. By modernizing the tax code, we can
achieve a simpler system
with lower rates that is
good for businesses and
workers, and leads to
more jobs in West Virginia.
“Hard-working West
Virginians deserve a tax
system that works for
them. We now have an
opportunity to deliver,
and it’s time we make tax
reform a reality.”

Gallia GOP looks to future
By Dean Wright

deanwright@aimmediamidwest.
com

GALLIPOLIS — The
Gallia County GOP Party
gathered Tuesday for an
evening of food, fellowship and looking forward
to the future of both the
state and the county.
Ohio Auditor Dave
Yost and Ohio Senator Frank LaRose both
served as speakers at the
rally. Yost is running for
Ohio Attorney General
and LaRose has his eye
set on the Ohio Secretary
of State chair.
Rally attendants listened to music performed
by the Gallia Academy
High School Band.
“I can’t run anymore
(as auditor) due to term
limits,” said Yost. “And
I’m ﬁne with term limits.
I pretty much think if
you can’t get done what
you’re there to get done
in eight years it’s time to
move on…I’ve done a lot
with the team I have and
most people don’t know
what a state auditor does.
We audit ﬁnancial statements of 5,900 entities
around the state that use
your tax dollars….We also
look for efﬁciency savings because government
doesn’t have a proﬁt
motive. They tend to run
out of money and ask
for more taxes instead

of asking how do we do
better. So, we have found
$220 million through our
efﬁciency studies at state
and local government.
We also work on public
integrity and accountability.”
Yost credited his ofﬁce
with 140 individuals and
counting who had been
convicted of criminal
offenses while in ofﬁce.
According to information provided by the Gallia Republican Party, Yost
began his career as an
award-wining newspaper
reporter for the Columbus Citizen-Journal and
later practiced law with
Burkam, Yost and Fuller

in Delaware, before serving on city council and
becoming the county
auditor. He served for
eight years as the elected
prosecutor for Delaware
County, winning the
ﬁrst capital murder case
in the county’s history
and claims to have taken
down the county’s largest
crime ring.
Yost has served as
Ohio’s 32nd auditor. The
auditor says his priorities
will be to focus on human
trafﬁcking, the opioid
epidemic and supporting
law enforcement ofﬁcers
in the performance of
their duties, if he is elected attorney general.

Influenza season
begins in Ohio
Staff Report

COLUMBUS — With
the arrival of ﬂu season,
the Ohio Department of
Health is recommending that all Ohioans six
months and older get a
ﬂu shot now. Flu activity traditionally begins
to increase in October
and can last as late as
May, with cases typically peaking between
December and February.
The Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly ﬂu
vaccine as the best protection against seasonal
ﬂu viruses. Flu vaccines
have been updated this
year to better match circulating ﬂu viruses.
“Flu vaccination can
help keep you from getting sick, missing work
or school, and prevent
ﬂu-related hospitalization and death,” said
Sietske de Fijter, state
epidemiologist and
ODH bureau chief of
infectious diseases.
“The more people who
get vaccinated help protect others, including
older adults, very young
children, pregnant
women, and people
with certain long-term
health conditions who
are more vulnerable to
serious ﬂu complica-

tions.”
Symptoms of inﬂuenza can include fever,
cough, sore throat,
body aches, headache,
chills and fatigue.
“If you are sick with
the ﬂu, stay home from
work or school to prevent spreading it to others,” said de Fijter.
Although most people
fully recover from the
ﬂu, some experience
severe illness like pneumonia and respiratory
failure, and the ﬂu can
sometimes be fatal.
People who think that
they may have the ﬂu
and are pregnant, have
an underlying medical
condition, or who are
extremely ill should
contact their healthcare
provider immediately.
Flu vaccines are
offered by many doctor’s ofﬁces, clinics,
health departments,
pharmacies and college
health centers, as well
as by many employers and some schools.
While vaccination provides the greatest protection against the ﬂu,
other effective ways to
avoid getting or spreading it include: washing
hands frequently or
using alcohol-based
hand sanitizer; avoiding touching eyes, nose
and mouth; and staying
home when sick.

The following matters are the subject of this public notice by the
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The complete public
notice, including any additional instructions for submitting comments, requesting information, a public hearing, or filing an appeal may be obtained at: http://www.epa.ohio.gov/actions.aspx

Learning about safety
Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel

Students at Carleton School received a lesson in safety on Friday with a visit from several first
responders. Members of the Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department brought three trucks for the
students to see and learn about, as well as giving the students fire hats and goodie bags with fire
safety information. Meigs County EMS was also at the school, showing the kids the inside of the
squad. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office took part in the event with K9 Bax and Deputy Brandy King,
as well as Deputy Clint Patterson and Safety Pup. Safety Pup was a favorite among all ages, posing
for pictures with those from preschool through the adult participants at Carleton School and Meigs
Industries. The annual safety day was held during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 8-14. The theme for this
year’s Fire Prevention Week was “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out.”

Senior Night win
By Bryan Walters

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A good weekend for the
Lady Defenders.
The Ohio Valley Christian volleyball team moved
to .500 on the season while claiming a 3-1 Senior
Night victory over Covenant on Friday, then the
Lady Defenders trailed only once in their OCSAA
regional semiﬁnal against Genoa Christian Academy on Saturday en route to a 3-0 triumph.
OVCS (8-8) sent seniors Cori Hutchison and
Katie Westfall out in style on Friday, although the
emotions got the best of them in Game 1.
The Blue and White led 23-20, but CCA rallied to
take a 24-23 lead and never trailed again while scoring seven of the ﬁnal nine points. The hosts went
on win the next three games in a somewhat comfortable fashion while completing the 25-27, 25-14,
25-7, 25-21 victory.
Emily Childers — who single-handily served
OVCS out to a 15-0 lead in Game 3 — led the Lady
Defenders with 24 service points and 13 aces.
Westfall was next with 10 points, while Hutchison and Marcie Kessinger each contributed eight
points apiece. Westfall and Hutchison also had
three aces apiece for the victors.
Laura Young was next with six service points,
while Makala Sizemore added four points for OVCS.
Westfall led the net attack with 12 kills and four
blocks, followed by Hutchison with seven kills and
Childers with ﬁve kills. Sizemore also chipped in
four kills against Covenant.
The Lady Defenders also made a triumphant
return to the postseason on Saturday following a
25-8, 27-25, 25-10 victory over Genoa Christian
Academy in a regional semiﬁnal in the Old French
City.
Ohio Valley Christian never trailed at any point
in the ﬁrst or ﬁnal games, but the hosts had to overcome a 24-23 deﬁcit in Game 2. The Lady Defenders won four of the ﬁnal ﬁve points to complete the
minimal two-point win for a 2-0 match edge.
Westfall led the service attack with 16 points and
ﬁve aces, followed by Childers with 11 points and
ﬁve aces. Hutchison also contributed nine points
and three aces to the winning cause.
Kessinger was next with seven service points,
while Sizemore and Young respectively added four
and three points.
Westfall led the net attack with eight kills and two
blocks, while Hutchison added ﬁve kills and four
blocks. Childers also had four kills for the hosts.
OVCS is slated to return to action Thursday in
the OCSAA Southeast Region ﬁnal against the winner of the New Hope Christian/Cristo Rey Columbus semiﬁnal.

Point Pleasant was
also a little bit of a victim of bad luck through
the night after a pair of
really great opportunities came up empty in
each half.
Miller had a 15-yard
shot from the top left

cross bar 12 minutes
into regulation, then
Farmer somehow came
away with a save on a

shot by Teagan Hay
with just 16 minutes left

Miller ﬁred just wide

the second half and also
sailed a shot outside the
post with 10:40 left in
regulation.
Regardless, the Lady
Knights controlled the
game and constantly
applied pressure by putting shot attempts up as
often as possible.
That was something
the ﬁfth-year PPHS
coach Chris Errett was
proud of following the
triumph.
“The girls played
tough tonight. They
gave it everything they
had and they played
well together. They
found a way to get it

done and get themselves another game,”
Errett said. “Getting
that early goal was big,
but then we had that
one breakdown early in
the second half. It was
good to see the girls
respond so quickly and
get the lead back, then
I was proud of how we
made that second lead
hold up the rest of the
way.
“We had plenty of
opportunities and produced a majority of
the shots. We played a
smart game and made
enough of those shot
attempts count. It was
a good win and we have
another game to play.”
The Lady Knights
now travel to top-seeded Nitro for the Region
IV, Section 1 championship game on Thursday
at 5:30 p.m. The Lady
Wildcats defeated
fourth-seeded Williamstown by an 8-7 count
on Tuesday night.
Cook made two saves
in net for Point Pleasant, which was whistled
for ﬁve of the six fouls
committed in the match.
Farmer had seven
stops in goal for the
Lady Indians, who
claimed a 6-2 edge in
corner kicks.

Winless Browns return to rookie Kizer as starting QB
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
After a week watching,
Cleveland Browns rookie
DeShone Kizer is starting again.
The second-round pick
from Notre Dame, who
threw a league-high nine
interceptions in his ﬁrst
ﬁve games, will start Sunday against Tennessee.
The Browns (0-6)
demoted an ineffective
Kizer last week in favor

of Kevin Hogan, who had
provided a spark in previous relief appearances
but threw three picks in a
33-17 loss to the Houston
Texans. Four of Kizer’s
interceptions came in
the red zone, and coach
Hue Jackson wanted him
to spend a week on the
sideline.
Kizer said standing
on the sideline has motivated him to stay on the

ﬁeld.
“Yeah, it deﬁnitely
sparked my competitive
juices,” he said Wednesday before practice. “It
was deﬁnitely important
for me throughout the
week to make sure that
I’m doing extra. I think
the most important thing
I got to see form my
perspective last week
was what my process is
and what our process is

as a unit. In this league,
you’ve got to talk less and
do more.”
Kizer has been inconsistent since winning the
starting job in training
camp and was benched
at halftime of Cleveland’s
Oct. 8 loss to the New
York Jets. But Jackson
believes in him and needs
him to develop. The
Browns are hoping to
devote the remainder of

the season ﬁnding out
if the 21-year-old can be
their long-term answer at
quarterback.
Jackson has been harping on turnovers, and
Kizer said seeing their
impact on the game has
driven home that he has
to take care of the ball.
“When you’re on the
sideline, you can just feel
the momentum of the
game a little more than

when you’re out there,”
he said. “You can see the
reactions of everyone —
from fans to coaching
staff to defense. You get
to see all the different
parts that move along
throughout the game, and
for me, it really showed
last week the importance
of making sure the ball is
simply out of harm’s way
and what positive plays
can do for a team.”

Tomlin not worried about WR Bryant being a distraction
PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Mike Tomlin isn’t
worried about Martavis
Bryant’s state of mind.
Last the Pittsburgh
Steelers coach checked,
his mercurial wide
receiver was too busy
catching two passes and
helping out in the run
game during a potentially season-turning victory
over Kansas City to get
worked up over his role
in the offense.

Asked Tuesday if he
was concerned over
reports that Bryant
requested a trade earlier
in the season , Tomlin
shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know that this
is a legitimate distraction,” Tomlin said. “You
guys can run with it and
such. Martavis has been
very open about the fact
that it is a non-issue for
him. We believe him. So,
we’re moving forward.”

Bryant shot down
the reports on Monday,
saying the only team
he wants to be traded
to is the Golden State
Warriors. Either way,
it largely doesn’t matter. Bryant isn’t going
anywhere regardless and
Tomlin is encouraged
by what he’s seen on the
ﬁeld from Bryant even if
his numbers are down a
bit from his 2015. Bryant missed all of last

Diabetes event planned
at Wellness Center
GALLIPOLIS — Diabetes is one of
the leading causes of disability and
death in the United States. One in
10 Americans have diabetes — that’s
more than 30 million people. Another 84 million adults in the United
States are at high risk of developing
type 2 diabetes.
Nov. 1 marks the beginning of
American Diabetes Month®, the
American Diabetes Association’s
annual awareness campaign. Holzer
is hosting a Diabetes Awareness
Event at the Holzer Therapy and
Wellness Center in downtown Gallipolis, Ohio on Saturday, November
11 from 9am to 12noon. A variety of
educational materials/booths will be
available, in addition to a Walk With
a Doc at 11am featuring Endocrinologist staff.
In addition, Holzer offers Diabetes
Self-Management Classes in Gallipolis, Jackson, and Pomeroy, Ohio, and
a Diabetes Support Group, which
meets on the ﬁrst Thursday of the
month in Gallipolis. “Educating our
communities on how to properly
manage and prevent diabetes is
crucial,” stated Beverly Jarrell, RN,
Diabetic Educator, Holzer Health
System. “As a diabetic, I am excited
to offer this type of event for our
communities, as well as bring more
awareness of the classes and assistance Holzer offers for diabetics. I
encourage individuals who want to
check out the wellness center, ask
questions about diabetes, or who are
looking for a support as they deal
with a diagnosis of diabetes to visit
us on November 11.”

help maintain blood sugar levels.
Try to make at least half your grains
whole grains. Many foods made
from whole grains come ready to
eat, including various breads, pasta
products and cereals. Look for the
word “whole” on the package and
among the ﬁrst few items in the
ingredient list.

The American Diabetes
Association offers these
five tips for diabetes
prevention.
1. Get more physical activity. There
are many beneﬁts to regular physical
activity. Exercise can help you lose
weight, lower your blood sugar, and
boost your sensitivity to insulin,
which helps keep your blood sugar
within a normal range.
2. Get plenty of fiber. Fiber helps
reduce your risk of diabetes by
improving your blood sugar control,
lower your risk of heart disease, and
promote weight loss by helping you
feel full. Foods high in ﬁber include
fruit, vegetables, beans, whole
grains, and nuts.
3. Go for whole grains. Whole grains
may reduce your risk of diabetes and

4. Lose extra weight. If you are
overweight, diabetes prevention may
hinge on weight loss. Every pound
you lose can improve your health,
and you may be surprised by how
much. Participants in one study who
lost a modest amount of weight —
around seven percent of initial body
weight — and exercised regularly
reduced the risk of developing
diabetes by almost 60 percent.
5. Skip fad diets and just make
healthier choices. Low-carb diets,
the glycemic index diet or other
fad diets may help you lose weight
at ﬁrst. But their effectiveness at
preventing diabetes isn’t known,
nor are their long-term effects. And
by excluding or strictly limiting
a particular food group, you may
be giving up essential nutrients.
Instead, make variety and portion
control part of your healthy-eating
plan.
For more information on Holzer’s
Diabetic Services or to sign up for
the classes or support group, call
Beverly Jarrell at 740-446-5971 or
email bjarrell@holzer.org.

I Love You
By Nellie Ruby Taylor

You can buy me a diamond ring
It doesn’t mean a thing
If you don’t love me.
You can take me out to dinner
But that’s not a winner
If you don’t love me.
You can take me to the fair
And win me a prize
That will not put stars in my eyes
If you don’t love me.
But, when you ﬂash that loving
Smile and say
Shall we dine out, order in or
Shall I prepare our dinner.
You are a winner, you don’t
Boss me around or say
Things to put me down.
You make request and say, thank you
You know when to say no
And when to say yes
Leaving nothing to guess.
That’s why I love you
And for so much more,
Don’t look so surprised, can’t
You see it in my eyes.
When you hold my hand
I know I am the only
One and you know you
Are the only man.
We both understand that
We are in love because
We can feel it.
Isn’t it wise, God gave
Us the greatest prize, that is (love)
And we can feel it!
Nellie Ruby Taylor is a retired educator
who lives in Gallipolis, Ohio.

New Medicare Cards are coming
Helping you age better
By Pamela K. Matura

We recently received some helpful information from the Ohio Senior
Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) about new Medicare
cards that will begin to be mailed in
the Spring. We wanted to share this
information so that you are aware and
prepared.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will remove Social
Security numbers from Medicare cards
and mail each person a new card. This
will help to keep information more
secure and help protect against identity fraud. Cardholders will receive a
new Medicare number that is unique
to them. The new card will not change
coverage or beneﬁts.
Here’s how you can prepare:
· Make sure your mailing address is
up-to-date. If your address needs to be
corrected, contact Social Security at
ssa.gov/myaccount or 1-800-772-1213.
· Be aware of anyone who contacts
you about your new Medicare card.

CMS will never ask you for personal or
private information to receive your new
Medicare number and card.
· Mailing new cards will take time.
Your card delivery may arrive at a different time period than your family,
friends or neighbors.
New cards will be mailed out between
April 2018 and April 2019. For more
information, you can log onto the CMS
website at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/New-Medicare-Card/index.html or
OSHIIP’s website at http://www.insurance.ohio.gov/consumer/pages/consumertab2.aspx.
Just a reminder as well that Medicare
Check-Up Days will be taking place this
Fall all across our district. There is one
scheduled in each of the ten counties we
serve that includes Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike,
Ross, Scioto and Vinton. The events are
designed to help Medicare beneﬁciaries
evaluate their current coverage and
make the determination on whether
they should switch to a plan that will
better support their needs, in addition
to help with any Medicare questions
or concerns. To learn more about the
Medicare Check-Up Day in your county,

check out our website at www.aaa7.org
under “About AAA7” and then “Upcoming Events”, or you can call our Agency
toll-free at 1-800-582-7277 or e-mail
info@aaa7.org. Most of the events feature individual counseling sessions that
require an appointment. This is impor-

tant to know so that you can call ahead
to assure you have secured a time to
talk to someone one-on-one about your
plan and any questions you may have.
Pamela K. Matura is executive director, Area Agency on
Aging District 7.

44,000 steps to fall prevention awareness
Staff Report

RIO GRANDE — The Area Agency on Aging
District 7 recently hosted a one-mile falls prevention
awareness walk at the University of Rio Grande and
Rio Grande Community College track.
The event was dubbed “10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls” and was sponsored by STEADY U Ohio
to observe National Falls Awareness Month in September. Twenty-two individuals walked 44,000 steps
in the name of falls prevention.
According to Agency on Aging claims, falls among
seniors in Ohio have reached epidemic proportions.
One in three seniors will fall this year and falls are
often considered the leading cause of emergency
room visits, hospititalizations and deaths among the
elderly. The agency does not consider falls a normal
part of aging and that they are preventable.
STEADY U Ohio is a falls prevention initiative led
by Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio Department of
Aging and supported by the Ohio Government and
state business partners. Steadyu.ohio.gov can be visited for falls prevention resources and tips tailored
to individuals, families, healthcare providers, busi-

ness and community leaders. Events similar to the
falls prevention walk in Rio Grande have reportedly
been held across the state as part of the National
Falls Awareness Month. The results have been
reported to the STEADY U Ohio initiative to tally
step counts towards the state’s goal of 10 million
steps statewide.
The agency recognized Arbors of Gallipolis, Holzer Assisted Living, Hamden Nusing and Rehab Center, Holzer Health System and the URG and RGCC
track and ﬁeld spring crew for their assistance with
the event.
For more information about falls management
