The American Red Cross is urging healthy individuals, especially those with type O blood, to give now to ensure blood products are available for patient emergencies when help can’t wait. Extreme winter weather has forced the cancellation of hundreds of Red Cross blood drives in about 30 states and caused more than 15,000 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. Every day thousands of patients rely on lifesaving blood donations. The need for blood is constant, even during snowstorms and the COVID-19 pandemic. To help ensure lifesaving patient care isn’t impacted, individuals are urged to make appointments to donate in the coming days and weeks by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Tina Rocco knows firsthand how important it is to have blood on hospital shelves. After welcoming baby Gemma by cesarean section, she began hemorrhaging badly and was rushed back into the operating room. “I was later told it was several pints of blood and an amazing doctor that saved my life,” Rocco said. “That allowed me to hold my first daughter and go home all together as a family of three.” Before that day, Rocco hadn’t known anyone who needed blood transfusions. Now, this grateful mother says, “You truly never know when you, or someone you love, might need it.” Upcoming blood donation opportunities Feb. 22-March 15 include: Mason County Point Pleasant — March 10, noon5:30 p.m., Pleasant Valley Hospital Wellness Center, 2520 Valley Drive. Gallia County Gallipolis — Feb. 24, 1:30-6 p.m., River of Life United Methodist Church, 35 Hillview. Meigs County Racine — March 1, 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Southern Local High School Gym, 920 Elm Street. Information provided by the American Red Cross.

See GREEN | 5 Lady Raiders eliminated at McClain, 52-34 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com GREENFIELD, Ohio — The layoff showed itself at exactly the wrong time. The River Valley girls basketball team made an impressive return to the hardwood after two weeks of quarantine, but sixth-seeded McClain ultimately had more left down the stretch Friday night during a 52-34 victory in a Division II sectional final held at MHS in Highland County. The 11th-seeded Lady Raiders (11-9) made three of their first five shot attempts while building a 7-0 lead five minutes in and eventually held a 14-4 edge after one quarter of play. The Lady Tigers (16-4), however, countered with a 12-1 surge over the opening four minutes of the second frame and took their first lead of the night at 16-15. RVHS answered with a small 3-2 run and knotted things up at 18-all with 1:54 left in the half, but Kyla Burchett added a basket with 1:02 remaining and gave the Purple and Gold a 20-18 cushion headed into the break. The Silver and Black fought to tie things up at 20-all and again at 22-all, but Payton Pryor’s offensive putback at the 5:17 mark of the third ultimately gave McClain a permanent lead of 24-22. MHS closed the canto with an 8-3 push and secured a 32-25 advantage entering the finale.

Sealants are thin coatings that when painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) can protect against 80% of cavities for 2 years, and continue to protect against 50% of cavities for up to 4 years. Although the number of children in the United States with sealants has increased over time, low-income children are 20% less likely to get sealants and twice more likely to have untreated cavities than higher income children.

Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, they still matter. Decay and other problems can set the stage for dental problems in adult teeth. To help prevent decay in baby teeth, never put baby to bed with a bottle. Milk and juice break down into sugars, which can pool around their teeth and cause cavities. Even before the first tooth pops up, get in the habit of gently wiping baby’s gums with a clean, moist cloth after feedings and before bedtime, to prevent bacteria from growing. �43(*73*)�&'4:9�5&(.I�*78�&3)�9-:2'�8:(0.3,���49-�(&3� contribute to an overbite. The Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children stop all sucking habits by 36 months or younger. But pacifiers put less pressure on the teeth than thumb-sucking, and they’re an easier habit to break. Year 1: First Toothbrush, First Dentist Visit When that first tooth pops up, it’s time for baby’s first, soft-bristled toothbrush. Also, per the Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, brush gently with plain water or just a drop of toothpaste with fluoride—no bigger than a rice kernel. Be sure to schedule your child’s first dental appointment soon after their first birthday, too. Early visits can help them become comfortable with your dentist and reduce anxiety down the road. If your child is especially fearful or has special physical or developmental needs, consider a pediatric dentist. They have years of specialized training in child psychology and development. Age 3 And Up: Make Brushing Fun By age 3, kids can begin using a pea-sized amount of toothpaste with fluoride. Make brushing and flossing a fun daily experience: once in the morning and once at night. Remember that it’s difficult for little hands to use a toothbrush correctly—and at a 45-degree angle.
