MCHD report continues to point to successful year
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

Editor’s note: This is Part 2
of three in a series of reports
from the Meigs County Health
Department.
POMEROY — The Meigs
County Health Department
released its annual report, with
a long list of milestones and
achievements in 2015.
Part one of three was published in The Daily Sentinel on
Tuesday.
Angela Rosier is coordinator of Children with Medical
Handicaps (previously known

as BCMH), for the Meigs
County Health Department.
CMH is a comprehensive
health care program funded in
part by the Ohio Department of
Health. The program connects
families of children 0-21 years
of age with quality providers
and assists families in obtaining coverage for medical costs
related to an eligible condition.
CMH joined with Family
and Children First Council’s
program titled Intersystems
Service Coordination. The
two groups met monthly and
collaborated on cases to meet

individualized goals, provide
transportation assistance and
help with service coordination.
As a result, CMH was able
to assist and collaborate with
seven families in need.
Rosier shared one of their
success stories: “Donald has a
chronic and debilitating condition. Upon meeting him for
the ﬁrst time, his caregivers
were struggling to provide
care. Several agencies had
ceased their services. Family
members were left to provide
around the clock care for Donald. Although happy to spend

time with their loved one, the
lack of equipment and his size
made care difﬁcult. The family
had applied for waiver services
and spoken with area schools
about services, without success. Following a CMH visit,
a referral to intersystem’s
coordinator Brooke Pauley
was immediately submitted
on his behalf in an effort to
address his need for additional
resources and assistance.
Through collaborations with
Job and Family Services, the
Board of Developmental Disabilities and several resources

within the waiver program
itself, Donald was approved
for a Medicaid waiver. The
family is now provided with
several hours of nursing care
every week along with needed
equipment for his care.”
It was reported the family,
despite some stressful situations, have been doing very
well. WOUB, a public TV
station in Athens, released a
story on the family that can
be accessed at http://woub.
org/2016/01/30/a-familys-struggle-against-time.

Coroner: Pike
Co. victims
shot many times
By Dan Sewell
Associated Press

CINCINNATI — A coroner’s report released
Tuesday showed new details of vicious violence
in the shooting deaths of eight members of a rural
southern Ohio family, ﬁnding most victims were
shot three to nine times each and some of them
were bruised.
Meanwhile, the hunt for whoever is responsible
continued to expand, with more than 200 law
enforcement ofﬁcials involved.
A 911 caller on Friday said the bodies of two
people found in one home looked to be beaten up.
Attorney General Mike DeWine has called the
slayings a carefully planned and “sophisticated
operation” carried out against eight members of
the Rhoden family by one or more killers.
The Hamilton County coroner said the victims
— three women, four men and a 16-year-old boy
— had wounds to their heads, torso and other
parts of the body. Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco said one
victim had a single wound, one had two wounds,
and the rest had three or more. The report
didn’t specify which victim had which number of
wounds.
Some victims showed “signs of soft tissue bruising,” her report stated. Sammarco’s ofﬁce declined
to discuss its ﬁndings, citing the ongoing investigation. Funeral arrangements for the victims
hadn’t yet been announced.
Authorities haven’t suggested a motive or
suspects. DeWine has said there were marijuanagrowing operations found at three of the four
places where bodies were found in Pike County,
a rural county roughly 80 miles east of Cincinnati
and Hamilton County.
DeWine said Tuesday that investigators have
received more than 300 tips and are still serving
search warrants. He said 79 pieces of evidence
have been sent to a state crime lab for testing
and analysis, including for DNA and ﬁngerprints.
Ohio and Pike County authorities are leading
the investigation, with help from some two dozen
other agencies including other county sheriffs.
The FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration
are also offering assistance.
A woman who called 911 on Friday morning to
report ﬁnding two of the bodies said that she saw
“blood all over the house” and that the two looked
like they had been badly beaten.

she hasn’t gone back on
the opioids.
“Before, I couldn’t even
function. I couldn’t get
anything done,” Ham said.
“Now, I actually organize
volunteers, and we have a
donations center to help
the needy.”
Bolstered by stories like
Ham’s, doctors are experimenting with marijuana
as an addiction treatment
in Massachusetts and
California. Supporters
in Maine are pushing for
its inclusion in qualifying
conditions for medical
marijuana, and Vermonters are making the case
for addiction treatment in
their push to legalize pot.
Authorities are also
desperate to curb a sharp
rise in overdoses; Maine
saw a 31 percent increase
last year, and drug-related
deaths in Vermont have
jumped 44 percent since
2010. Vermont ofﬁcials
also blame opioid abuse
for a 40 percent increase
over the past two years of
children in state custody.
“I don’t think it’s a cure
for everybody,” said Maine
Rep. Diane Russell, a Portland Democrat and a leader
in the state effort to legalize
marijuana. “But why take a
solution off the table when
people are telling us and
physicians are telling us
that it’s working?”
Most states with medical marijuana allow it for
a list of qualifying conditions. Getting on that list
is crucial and has resulted
in a tug of war in many
states, including several
in which veterans have
been unsuccessful in getting post-traumatic stress
disorder approved for
marijuana treatment.
“It’s hard to argue
against anecdotal evidence when you are in
the middle of a crisis,”
said Patricia Hymanson, a
York, Maine, neurologist
who has taken a leave of

absence to serve in the
state House. “But if you
do too many things too
fast, you are sometimes
left with problems on the
other end.”
In New Hampshire,
where drug deaths more
than doubled last year
from 2011 levels, the
Senate last week rejected
efforts to decriminalize
marijuana.
There are some promising ﬁndings involving
rats and one 2014 JAMA
study showing that states
with medical marijuana
laws had nearly 25 percent fewer opioid-related
overdose deaths than
those without, but even
a co-author on that study
said it would be wrong to
use the ﬁndings to make
the case for cannabis as a
treatment option.
“We are in the midst of
a serious problem. People
are dying and, as a result,
we ought to use things
that are proven to be effective,” said Dr. Richard
Saitz, chair of the Department of Community
Health Sciences at the
Boston University School
of Public Health.
Cannabis could have
limited beneﬁts as a
treatment alternative,
said Harvard Medical
School’s Dr. Kevin Hill,
who last year authored the
JAMA study that found
beneﬁts in using medical
marijuana to treat chronic
pain, neuropathic pain
and spasticity related to
multiple sclerosis. But he
urged caution.
“If you are thinking
about using cannabis as
opposed to using opioids
for chronic pain, then I
do think the evidence
does support it,” he said.
“However, I think one
place where sometimes
cannabis advocates go too
far is when they talk about
using cannabis to treat

Cameras show wildlife returning
NEW STRAITSVILLE (AP) —
Video footage of bobcats recorded in a forest near a reclaimed
coal mine is a hopeful sign of the
species’ recovery in southeast
Ohio and that environmental
rehabilitation efforts are working, wildlife and environmental
group officials said.
Rural Action recorded a bobcat
and her three kittens using an
infrared motion sensing camera
attached to a tree in the Wayne
National Forest, The Columbus
Dispatch has reported. The
group has installed six of the
cameras in forests around unregulated coal mines where millions
of dollars have been spent on
environmental cleanup.
The footage included the

carcass at a bait station where
the camera was focused. Other

“It was exciting to see kittens and know that bobcats are
successfully mating here,” said
Katrina Schultes, a wildlife
biologist for the forest. “That
suggests these animals have
come back on their own and are
recolonizing the available habitats in Ohio.”
Bobcats were nearly wiped
out in Ohio during the 1800s
by hunting and loss of habitat.
After what has been a slow
revival, bobcats were removed
from Ohio’s endangered species
list in Ohio in 2014. Wildlife
officials plan to use footage from
the infrared cameras installed in
December for the state’s annual
bobcat report. There were 197
verified bobcat sightings in 39

EHS participated in the Ohio

services. During the 10-day
mission, EHS completed over
250 work hours and coordinated over 60 volunteers. Their
report shows 986 dogs and
cats were examined, 950 were
vaccinated for rabies and distemper and 97 were spayed or
neutered.
EHS is also reported on enviromental health activities: 59
rabies/animal bite were investigated. Of those 59, there were
40 dogs, 16 cats and 1 raccoon.
Two specimens were tested for

Twenty public school health

said.
Work to reclaim the 27-mile

includes neutralizing the highly
acidic, orange-tinted, and smelly
water that leaks from nearby
abandoned mines.
The Monday Creek Project
covers more than 100 square
miles while contending with
15,000 acres of underground
abandoned mines. The creek
was highly acidic when cleanup
began 20 years ago. Schlater likened water in the creek 20 years
ago to vinegar.
Aquatic wildlife has since been
revived, increasing from four fish
species then to 35 today, including seven types of darters along
with large-mouth, small-mouth
and spotted bass.
“This shows that water quality is improving significantly,”
Schlater said.

THEIR VIEW

Confronting
your greatest fear
In the aftermath of the 1974 Xenia tornado,
people in surrounding communities did what
they could to help with the cleanup. Although my
father was a teacher at the vocational school at the
time, he also had heavy trucks so we
went to help as well.

and cultivated a fear of storms that’s
Deer
hard for me to, even now, put into
words.
During my ﬁrst couple of years of college, I was
fortunate enough to live at home and commute.
One day after class, I went home and settled in
to watch a movie and scarf down some drive-thru
before hitting the books. It was a dark, rainy day
and the sky had that “look” about it.
Ever since that day in 1974, I’ve been keenly
aware of unstable weather, as if I had some kind of
built-in biological barometer in my head and this
was one of those days when that sense was at its
peak.
As I plowed through my burger and onion rings
in front of the TV, the power ﬂickered several
times, but I did my best to ignore it. I was home
alone, and as the wind and rain picked up, the
trees in the valley surrounding our small farm
sounded like wild animals roaring in the distance.
At one point, I ventured out the back door and
stood behind the house, watching the clouds off
to the southwest. The wind became still. The rain
stopped. It was dead quiet. I walked to the other
side of the house for a better view on the far side
of our barn.
And there it was.
About a hundred yards away, spinning down
from the sky to the pasture in front of me — a
tornado. It was small, gray, kicking up debris and
dancing its way across the ﬁeld in front of me as if
with some kind of purpose in mind.
I was frozen; not with fear, but with fascination. There it was, right in front of me, the thing
I feared most; no, more than that. It was the only
thing I’d ever been afraid of. Any normal person
would have bolted to the nearest cellar.
But I didn’t. I stood there, motionless.
A moment later, the funnel met the ancient
wooden sideboards of one of my dad’s old farm
trucks and they exploded into splinters with a
sound like the cracking of a dozen brittle bones. I
still didn’t move. I wasn’t afraid at all.
It seemed like it took an eternity for it to cross
the 10-acre spread of pasture ﬁeld, but it was probably more like 30 seconds. It bounced across the
road a quarter mile away, circumvented one neighbor’s home completely but then crashed into an
adjacent barn, destroying it in the blink of an eye
and scattered bits of wood, sheet metal and hay
for miles. I stood there, still motionless, taking it
all in.
And as quickly as it came, it was gone. After it
wrecked the barn across the road, it dissolved into
nothing. A moment later, I realized I was being
soaked by rain but still staring off across the ﬁeld.
It left a path of small debris along the way and
mashed down the high grass as if some kids had
tromped a trail through the ﬁeld. But it was over.
And any fear I once felt of these storms was gone.
As I got older, I studied everything I could about
tornadoes, even going on a few local storm chases
back in school. Over the years, I faced two more of
the swirling monsters but no longer fear any kind
of storm.
Today, I am respectful of their power and unpredictability and still have a sixth sense when things
aren’t right in the wind. The best thing any of us
can do during Ohio’s tornado seasons is to be alert
and prepared.

has plenty more safe burning tips
to help prevent forest ﬁres. A good
rule of thumb is that if you have
any concerns about a ﬁre getting

Luckily forest ﬁres have always
been a part of nature. Granted,
those ﬁres weren’t always started
by man, but Mother Nature and
her creatures are very well versed
in adapting and surviving in areas
prone to wildﬁres.
Don’t give up hope if your favorite hunting ground is hit by a forest ﬁre. Given time, the forest will
recover and be even healthier than
before.
The ﬁre will clear away the dead
leaves and brush and allow more
sunlight and moisture to reach the
forest ﬂoor. This breath of fresh
air allows a diverse group of plants
and animals to come into a burned
area and begin to thrive in a short
period of time. Before you know it,
you will barely be able to tell the
ﬁre had been there.
Still, the more ﬁres we can prevent the better off we will be, but
when one does occur, it doesn’t
spell doom for the local wildlife.
Given time and a growing season,
the forest will recover and the wild
critters we love to chase will be
back to business as usual and will
have forgotten all about the smoke
and soot that ﬁlled their home.
Nature truly is amazing if we
just sit back and watch.

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis
The battle with credit card debt can
be a constant struggle against high
interest rates and monthly payments
that never seem to make a dent in
what you owe. How is it possible to
make monthly credit card payments
and never get anywhere?
This problem is caused by high
interest rates that eats up most of
your payments. Even though you
make your minimum payment,
you don’t make much headway
eliminating the debt.
Luckily, there’s a way to find debt
relief without incurring more
debts. Using certified credit
counseling like Consolidated
Credit, you can get professional

advice to identify the right solution for your needs.
A certified credit counselor
can review your options to
see which solution is best for
you. You can qualify for lower
interest rates or even eliminate
them, while consolidating your
credit card debt into one easy
payment to get you out of debt
faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see
a reduction of total payments
by up to 30-50% as they pay off
debt faster.

Freedom from debt can
become a reality!

Point
avenges Red
Devils, 16-4
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

RAVENSWOOD,
W.Va. — The Point
Pleasant baseball team
picked up its ﬁfth
straight win while also
getting a little revenge
on host Ravenswood
following a 16-4 victory
Monday night in a nonconference matchup in
Jackson County.
The Big Blacks (13-9)
avenged a 4-3 setback to
the Red Devils (14-7) at
PPHS back on April 12,
as the guests overcame
an early 2-1 deﬁcit by
plating eight runs in the
top of the third en route
to securing a permanent
lead at 9-2.
Point held a 12-4 edge
headed into the top of
the sixth and scored
four times in the frame,
then RHS went down in
order in the home half
of the sixth to wrap up
the mercy-rule outcome.
Point Pleasant outhit
the hosts by a 16-3 overall
margin and committed
only one of the six errors
in the contest. PPHS
stranded 10 runners on
base, while the Red Devils left six on the bags.
Point starter Abe
Stearns was the winning pitcher of record
after allowing two
earned runs, one hit
and four walks over
three innings while
striking out three.

Derek King allowed two
earned runs and two
hits while fanning one
in two innings of relief,
while Chris Lush also
struck out three in an
inning of relief work for
the guests.
Nathan Curtis suffered the loss after surrendering six earned
runs, seven hits and two
walks over 2.1 frames
while fanning one.
Garrett Litchﬁeld,
Cody Sockwell, Tristan
Austin and Justice
Chapman led Point
Pleasant with two hits
apiece, while Lush,
Stearns, King, Kaleb
Beckner, Matt Richardson, Trey Tucker, James
Littlepage and Tyler
Mitchell also had a hit
each for the victors.
Tucker — who hit a
two-run homer to leftcenter in the bottom
of the ﬁfth —joined
Beckner, Richardson
and Sockwell with a
team-high two RBIs and
also scored a team-best
three runs. Litchﬁeld,
Sockwell, Austin, King
and Alec Smith also
scored two runs apiece
in the triumph.
Chase Swain, Lakin
Tucker and Brennan
Barr had the lone hits
for RHS. Barr also
drove in half of the
hosts’ four runs.

NASCAR adds
penalties for teams
that ignore lug nuts
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR has
added mandatory ﬁnes and other penalties for
teams caught without ﬁve lug nuts on each
wheel.
The move announced Monday comes less than
a week after three-time series champion Tony
Stewart urged NASCAR to take action. The
series had stopped monitoring lug nuts during
pit stops, and some teams were using fewer than
ﬁve, allowing them to send cars out faster in
hopes of getting better position and a better ﬁnish.
NASCAR can only check for every lug nut
before and after a race, but may call a car back to
pit road during a race.
The series said a tire falling off in a Sprint Cup
race due to “improper installation” would mean a
minimum four-race suspension of the crew chief
and other pit crew members involved. If lug nuts
are found missing after a race, Cup teams face at
least a $20,000 ﬁne and a one-race suspension for
the crew chief.
Veteran crew chief Rodney Childers, who works
with 2014 NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick,
reacted to the change on Twitter by saying “I will
sit at home for a week at some point.” Childers
noted that rarely does his car end a race with all
20 lug nuts still attached.
The penalties are less for the Xﬁnity and Truck
series, but still substantial for the lower-funded
teams.

DALLAS (AP) — An

Manziel was indicted

in late January. Crowley
said in court documents
that Manziel struck her
so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one
ear, and the indictment

Manziel faces a charge
of misdemeanor assault
related to family violence,
which carries up to one
year in jail and a $4,000
ﬁne.
Manziel’s attorneys said
Tuesday that their client
will plead not guilty.
One of the attorneys,
Robert Hinton, told The
Associated Press that
he thought police and
prosecutors had treated
the case as though they
didn’t want it to go forward. Lawyers who aren’t
involved in the case have
noted that Dallas police

chose to refer their case
to a grand jury rather
than arrest Manziel outright, which is unusual
for misdemeanor cases.
“If this were Johnny
Smith, the district attorney’s ofﬁce would have
declined to accept the
case, in my judgment,”
Hinton said in a phone
interview Tuesday. “This
is not a very credible
case. As a matter of fact,
it’s incredible. There’s just
not much to it.”
Hinton said he did not
anticipate making a deal
to end the case before
trial, though he said talks
of any deal were premature.

Manziel is in Los Angeles, but is expected to
present himself for booking Thursday or Friday,
once the case is formally
assigned to a judge and
bond is set, Hinton said.
“He’s got a great attitude,” he said. “He’s
ready to face it and do
what we need to do to
defend him.”
Dallas County District
Attorney Susan Hawk
said in a statement Tuesday that prosecutors
“respect the criminal
justice process and the
decision” by the grand
jury. A spokeswoman for
Hawk declined to comment further.
