Bill and Naomi were married nearly 73 years and generally, when you saw one, you saw the other and they were holding hands. Together, they have left a rich legacy of faith and love to their family and those who spent time with them. With just five days between their deaths, they are together again, with Jesus. Naomi was 90 when she died on Feb. 10. She was born in Reedsville, the daughter of Albert and Bertha Milhoan. Bill was 95 when he died on Feb. 15. He was born in Meigs County, the son of Vint and Grace King. Bill and Naomi were lifetime members of Bradbury Church of Christ. Following and serving Jesus was their first priority. They also belonged to the Belles and Beaus Square Dancing Club for many years. They first met at a square dance and that love of dancing continued well into their later years. Bill was a veteran of the Navy, serving during World War II, a life member (65 years +) of the American Legion, and 65-year member of the Middleport Masonic Lodge. Bill and Naomi both were 64-year members of Eastern Star, serving in roles together. Naomi served a statewide office in 1968. Others have described Bill and Naomi as kind, friendly, hospitable, always smiling, dear friends, and so in love! Their journey was a beautiful love story as they chose to live their life together, to love Jesus and to love and honor each other so well. Bill & Naomi’s immediate surviving family members are daughters, Debbie and Steve Finlaw, Long Bottom; Kathy and Wayne Thomas, Bradbury; Sherry and Terry Houck, Huntington, W.Va.; and son, Kevin and Cathy King, Erie, Col.

Buckeye Hills Regional �LOCAL Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, February 24, 2021 3 House bill proposes closure of Lakin Hospital states Lakin was built in 1926. According to the bill’s language: “The age of the facilities results in continuous costly repairs and upgrades to ensure the safety of the residents. The costs for utilities, building maintenance and repairs, and payroll costs are not sustainable. The Legislature is accountable for the care of persons in these facilities and has a duty to ensure the facilities in which they live are maintained and safe. The Legislature can no longer ensure that the residents and employees are safe in these facilities. The Legislature finds that it is necessary to discontinue the operation of these facilities at this time.” According to reporting from the Point Pleasant Register from both 2007 and 2017 on Lakin Hospital’s history: “Founded by an act of the West Virginia Legislature in 1919, Lakin Hospital opened its doors on Feb. 1, 1926, with a purpose of, ‘the reception and treatment of Blacks suffering from mental and nervous disorders.’ The hospital, served patients from across the state. Although the institution’s original name reflected the era of segregation, it was a nontraditional facility with an all African American staff, including administrators, and was one of what is believed to be only two all African American mental health facilities east of the Mississippi River. “The ‘Lakin State Hospital for the Colored Insane’ hasn’t existed in years, nor has ‘Lakin State Hospital,’ as it became known to locals in the more recent past. The facility began making the transition from psychiatric to nursing care in the late 1970s, achieving its intermediate care facility status in 1984 which means it could provide nursing care to adults and adults of all races. In fact, there are very few reminders of the old hospital on the grounds — memories not withstanding.” Also reported by the Register in 2007: “One of the hospital’s oldest existing buildings is the Office Building which remains on the grounds though it is only used for storage by the nearby Lakin Correctional Facility for Woman. The Office Building, erected around the late-1950’s is said to have housed not only offices but been a place for major and minor surgery and private pay patients… “ Mason County Commissioner Rick Handley told the Register on Monday, it was his understanding the current building housing the residents was built in the mid-to-late 1970’s, not 1926. He added, the commission plans on bringing up this proposed legislation at its meeting this week. On Monday, a spokesperson for DHHR told the Register, Lakin Hospital currently has 105 employees and 54 residents. The spokesperson clarified this was not a DHHR bill and was introduced by the House Health Committee. “…We learned of the contents of the proposed legislation at last week’s committee meeting. We will abide by the decision if it passes and becomes law,” the spokesperson added. The Register also asked DHHR about the project’s reported savings to the state if the closures occurred. The DHHR spokesperson stated those additional questions were best addressed by the Legislature.

This bill originated in the House Health and Human Resources Committee and has been sent to the House Finance Committee. The bill’s current language states the employees would be offered to transfer to another position within state government that they are otherwise qualified for at the same rate of pay and benefits that they are currently receiving. If the employee does not transfer, that employee would receive a severance package which includes their current salary and benefits for one year. As for residents, the proposed bill states they would be transferred to a long-term care facility “of his or her choosing that is able to accommodate his or her level of care.” If the resident is not able to make the decision for himself or herself and his or her medical or legal power of attorney is unable to be reached to make a final decision regarding transfer, “he or she shall be transferred to the nearest location which is able to accommodate his or her level of care,” the current draft of the bill states. “The purpose of this bill is to discontinue operation of the state’s long-term care facilities,” according to a note attached to the legislation found on the Legislature’s website.

These vac- cines are safe and effective. There are many myths about vaccines and about the COVID-19 vaccine, in particular. Having questions answered with credible information can impact whether someone chooses to get the vaccine. We are excited to provide accurate and reliable information from trusted sources,” said ODH Director Stephanie McCloud. The Town Halls are designed to separate fact from fiction about the COVID-19 vaccines. Although each town hall is targeted to specific populations, they are open to anyone. Each event will feature panel- ists including medical experts, faith leaders, public health professionals, and community leaders from the target population represented on that Town Hall. They will be livestreamed on ODH’s Facebook and YouTube channels and at coronavirus.ohio.gov/townhall on the following dates and times: Monday, Feb. 22, 6:30 p.m. — African-American Ohioans Tuesday, Feb. 23, 6:30 p.m. — Hispanic/Latino Ohioans Monday, March 1, 6:30 p.m. — Asian-American and Pacific-Islander Ohioans Tuesday, March 2, 6:30 p.m. — Rural Ohioans To accommodate those Ohioans without internet access, the Town Halls will air at future times on public access television on the Ohio Channel. Ohioans can find their local channel by checking with their PBS station or television provider. Dates and times to watch include: Saturday, Feb. 27, 6 p.m. — Ohio COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall for African-Americans Saturday, Feb. 27, 7 p.m. — Ohio COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall for Hispanic/Latino Americans Sunday, Feb. 28, 2 p.m. — Ohio COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall for African-Americans Sunday, Feb. 28, 3 p.m. — Ohio COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall for Hispanic/Latino Americans Saturday, March 6, 6 p.m. — Ohio COVID19 Vaccine Town Hall for Asian-American and Pacific-Islander Ohioans Saturday, March 6, 7 p.m. — Ohio COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall for Rural Ohioans Sunday, March 7, 2 p.m. — Ohio COVID19 Vaccine Town Hall for Asian-American and Pacific-Islander Ohioans Sunday, March 7, 3 p.m. — Ohio COVID-19 Vaccine Town Hall for Rural Ohioans “As we strive toward health equity in our state, all Ohioans need accurate information about and access to COVID-19 vaccine. We are pleased to make vaccine more accessible by distributing it to every county in Ohio, supporting bilingual vaccination pop-up sites in underserved neighborhoods, recruiting vaccine providers in highly vulnerable areas, and planning a COVID-19 vaccine webpage specifically addressing equity,” said McCloud.

To schedule an appointment, call 740-4412018, 740-441-2950, or 740441-2951. The health department stresses a scheduled appointment is required to receive the vaccine. COVID vaccine registration changes The Meigs County Health Department will not be taking names for the COVID-19 immunization waiting list at this time due to the large number of individuals on the list who still need the vaccination. The Health Department will call and schedule those on the current waiting list and when that list is exhausted, we will begin having citizens self-register via an online registration process which will be announced in the coming weeks. We appreciate the communities understanding as we try to maneuver through the vaccination process in the best way possible.

The Cincinnati Reds will be able to have a limited number of fans at games this spring at Great American Ball Park. Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Spring the club will allow 1,500 fans per game — roughly 15% of the 10,300 seats at Fifth Third Field. The Mud Hens plan to open at home on April 6 after seeing their entire 2020 season canceled. Other teams have yet to announce specific plans. DeWine said he’s had extensive conversations with the Reds and Indians. For Cleveland, 30% could mean as many as 10,000 fans in the city’s downtown ballpark, which holds more than 35,000. Also Monday, DeWine said that as the number of cases plummet in nursing homes, visitation could be expanded soon. In addition, the governor has written to long-term care facilities reminding them to frequently check their county’s positivity rates, which play a role in visitation rules. Compassionate care visitation should always be offered, meaning in cases where residents’ well-being is at risk, the governor said. More than 1.4 million people in Ohio have received at least the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine as of Monday, or about 12% of the population.

Wellston rolls past River Valley, 62-47 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com WELLSTON, Ohio — A tough start … in a few different ways. Host Wellston jumped out to a 17-7 first quarter lead and ultimately never looked back Saturday afternoon during a 62-47 victory over the River Valley boys basketball team in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup in Jackson County. The Raiders (8-7, 3-6 TVC Ohio) were playing in their first full game since losing leading scorer Jordan Lambert to an injury, and the guests struggled to find any kind of offensive rhythm early on. Evan Brown poured in eight points for the Golden Rockets (9-8, 3-6) in building a doubledigit first quarter edge, then WHS used a 17-11 push in the second frame to secure a 34-18 advantage at the break. Mason Rhodes — who scored 10 first half points for RVHS — poured in seven points during the third canto, but the Blue and Gold still made a 16-12 push while extending their lead out to 50-30 entering the finale. Rhodes added another 11 points down the stretch as the Silver and Black closed regulation with a 17-12 run to complete the 15-point outcome. Wellston outrebounded RVHS by a sizable 42-16 overall margin, including a 12-4 edge on the offensive glass. The guests committed only 10 of the 26 turnovers in the game as well. River Valley made 17 total field goals — including eight trifectas — and also went 5-of9 at the free throw line for 56 percent. Rhodes led the guests with a game-high 28 points, followed by Chase Barber with seven points and Kade Alderman with six markers. Braden McGuire and Ethan Schultz completed the scoring with four and two points, respectively. RVHS starter Dylan Fulks also did not play in the contest. Wellston netted 21 total field Woods seriously injured in crash LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tiger Woods was seriously injured Tuesday when his SUV crashed into a median, rolled over and ended up on its side near a steep road in suburban Los Angeles known for wrecks, authorities said. The golf superstar had to be pulled out through the windshield, and his agent said he underwent leg surgery. Woods was alone in the SUV when it crashed into a raised median, crossed two oncoming lanes and rolled several times, authorities said at a news conference. No other cars were involved. The 45-year-old was alert and able to communicate as firefighters pried open the front windshield to get him out. The airbags went off and the inside of the vehicle stayed basically intact, and that “gave him a cushion to survive the crash,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. Both of his legs were seriously injured, county Fire Chief Daryl Osby said. They said there was no immediate evidence that Woods was impaired. Authorities said they checked for any odor of alcohol or other signs he was under the influence of a substance and found none. They didn’t say how fast he was driving. The crash happened on a sweeping, downhill stretch of a two-lane road through upscale Los Angeles suburbs. Sheriff’s Deputy Carlos Gonzalez, who was the first to get to the wreck, said he sometimes catches people topping 80 mph in the 45 mph zone and crashes are common. “I will say that it’s very fortunate that Mr. Woods was able to come out of this alive,” Gonzalez said. When the deputy arrived, a neighbor told him the driver was still in the vehicle. Gonzalez said he poked his head through a hole in the windshield and saw Woods with his seatbelt on. The deputy asked Woods questions, including what day it was and where he was. “Tiger was able to speak to me lucidly,” Gonzalez said. Woods appeared “incredibly calm,” the deputy said, likely because he was in shock. Woods was in Los Angeles over the weekend as the tournament host of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, where he presented the trophy on Sunday. goals — including four 3-pointers — and also went 16-of-24 at the charity stripe for 67 percent. Brown paced the Rockets with 17 points, followed by Cyan Ervin with 13 points and Hunter Smith with 10 markers. Garrett Brown and Gunner Harmon respectively added eight and seven points as well. Eston Riley was next with five points, while R.J. Kemp completed the winning tally with two points. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

DeWine updates on vaccines, nursing homes Staff Report at OhioOmbudsman@ age.ohio.gov or 1-800282-1206. Governor DeWine provided information on the progression of vaccine eligibility in Ohio. Because those ages 65 and older make up approximately 87 percent of all COVID-19 deaths in Ohio, no additional age groups are eligible for the vaccine at this time. Once the demand for the vaccine has been met for those 65 and older, those ages 60 and older will become eligible. After a period of vaccination for this age group, those ages 55 and older will become eligible, followed by those ages 50 and up. Individuals in specific small groups that could have an increased risk of exposure to the virus may also potentially be included in the 60 and older vaccination phase. Last week, vaccine eligibility opened up to those Ohioans born with or who have early child- ity rate at less than 10 percent. Compassionate care visits, which are special visits in which a family member or other visitor provides comfort, support, and assistance to a resident whose well-being is suffering or at risk, are always permitted regardless of the criteria above. Governor DeWine sent a letter on Monday to all nursing homes in Ohio reminding them to check their county positivity rate every week to determine their visitation status and to remind them to allow for compassionate care visits. Ohio’s nursing home facilities are required to report their visitation status to Ohio’s Long-Term Care Visitation Dashboard. If you have a loved one in need of a compassionate care visit but are having trouble scheduling a visit, contact Ohio’s Office of the State LongTerm Care Ombudsman and weekend hours to catch up.

On Monday, Governor DeWine asked Ohio hospitals and doctors with access to the vaccine to begin to proactively reach out to these patients with the specific medical conditions outlined in Phase 1B to schedule vaccination. In Ohio’s eight stateoperated developmental centers, more than 91 percent of residents have accepted their first vaccine. More than 14,000 Ohioans living with developmental and intellectual disabilities who also have a certain health condition they were born with or developed in childhood and carried into adulthood have also received their first dose of vaccine. Ohio is working to complete the vaccination of residents and staff in congregate settings for residential treatment facilities, mental health residential care facilities, and recovery housing. Lt. Governor Husted relayed the news that Rocket Mortgage has moved another step forward in its downtown Cleveland expansion plans, as the Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved the project for tax credit assistance at its meeting this morning. The company plans to bring 630 new jobs to the Northeast Ohio region, adding to its current workforce of 721. Rocket Mortgage considered several cities for its expansion and ultimately chose Cleveland. Partners on the project include the Ohio Development Services Agency, JobsOhio, the city of Cleveland, Team NEO, and the Greater Cleveland Partnership. Information provided by the office of Gov. Mike DeWine.

David McKinley, a West Virginia Republican, who questioned executives on why they were still unable to meet demand for the vaccines.

That effort is now picking up speed with plans for mass vaccination sites and an increasing supply distributed to chain pharmacies.
