I am a 76 year old male and I come from a family of 16 children. 3 died young, my brothers. That left 13 and 13 must be an unlucky number. I lost my sister 11 years ago and that left 12 of us in my family. I am number 3 of the 12. My dad worked in coal mine #8 in Lundel in Logan County West Virginia. I spent 39 years working in the steel mill in West Virginia and at that time I belonged to the union. I was proud to be a union man. But today I no longer support the union because they are not for the working man. So there for I am not happy for the past 8 years of Obama and Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton got on national TV and said we took the miners jobs and shut the mines down. As a steel worker not only did she take the miners jobs but she took the steel workers jobs, barge workers, railroad workers etc.. For Every single miner that lost their job 12 other people also lost their jobs. I paid into a retirement and insurance plan and I lost it like several other companies. With in the next four years if Hillary Clinton gets elected we will no longer have medicare because of Obamacare. If we do it will be cut 30%-40% I want to thank the people of Gallia County. People are so friendlier in Gallia county than Lawance county. Things are so much cheaper and you are treated so better. Do Not Let Politics Get In Your Way!

To express his sense of aloneness, Jarrod had a wolf head and shoulder image with the words “lone wolf ” tattooed upon his upper arm. Jarrod was not a “lone wolf ”...exactly the opposite. Numerous neighbors, employers, co-workers, friends, teachers, firemen, and family members shared the same feelings of disbelief and sense of loss at Jarrod’s passing. Each individual parroted how Jarrod would do “anything for anybody” and that he had a “good heart” or “heart of gold”. Jarrod’s family expresss heartfelt appreciation for the firemen’s special tribute to him, to the many who shared kind words of comfort as they attended the calling hours and funeral, to those who expressed love and sympathy by sending prayers, arrangements, cards, food, tapestries, wind chimes, etc., to Dana Bentz for conducting the funeral service, and to those who sent monetary gifts which will be applied towards the purchase of Jarrod’s monument. Jarrod is certainly missed by all who loved and appreciated his “good heart”, especially his family members. He will never be forgotten, because he was never a “lone wolf.” 60681962 Suzanne Bentz Rent the FAC Pavillion for Weddings, Reunions, Special Events!! 60681520 SEE MORE LOCAL NEWS ONLINE AT MYDAILY TRIBUNE.COM �E ditorial 4A Sunday, October 2, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel OUR VIEW Ohio needs ‘Jessica Berry’s Law’ on the books Dismembering a human body is a sickening, heinous act. It boggles the mind when one tries to understand how a person can commit such an act against another human being. A Gallia County man, Richard Hurt, 47, of Gallipolis, is accused of committing such an act in late July to a fellow Gallia Countian, Jessica Berry, 32 at the time, after she allegedly overdosed on drugs at a home near Gallipolis. He is also accused of transporting those remains across state lines into Mason County, W.Va., and burying them – after allegedly carrying said remains in his vehicle for about a day and half – at a home where he once performed yard work. Court records allege he took the woman’s clothing and a saw used to carry out the gruesome deed and discarded them in a trash receptacle, where it was then hauled off to a landfill, presumably lost and gone forever in mountains of other discarded waste. Berry remains were left contained in trash bags in a shallow hole in the ground, like discarded waste never to be thought of again. That was a miscalculation. She is being thought of again — most certainly by her family and friends, as well as the entire Gallia County community and tri-county area, where familial ties and close friendships run deep and strong. The community is upset. This type of act is better known to occur in larger urban populations, not here in the Ohio Valley. But it did happen here, and Berry’s family and friends want justice to be served. At his arraignment Tuesday, Hurt pleaded not guilty to charges of abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence — fifth- and third-degree felonies, respectively. Judge Dean Evans, based on the degrees of the aforementioned felonies, denied Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins’ request for a $500,000 10 percent bond and lowered it to a $50,000 10 percent. Hurt later made bail and is free on bond until his trial date next year, unless lab, toxicology and autopsy report data warrant further charges. Those won’t come in until the West Virginia Medical Examiner’s Office completes those reports. Because the discovery was made on the other side of the Ohio River, West Virginia took custody of the remains. It should be noted that Hurt is also charged in West Virginia with felony concealment of a human body in connection with the Ohio case. Lowering bond for such a disgusting act is perplexing, to be sure, but the attorneys, judges and others connected to the case did exactly as they should. The defense attorney asked for a lower bond, the prosecuting attorney asked for a much higher bond, the judge denied the prosecutor’s request and settled on a lower bond based on the severity of those charges. Dismembering and burying a human body isn’t severe, you ask? We believe so, but according to the Ohio Revised Code, it’s abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. The judge’s decision was based upon only what the law allows him to do. It’s not — and cannot ever be — based on emotion or one’s personal feelings about the deed. And let’s remember, people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law — not on social media, not in the media or any public forum. The judicial system works, but needs a major tweak in Ohio. Dismemberment of a human body deserves a much stronger penalty than fifth-degree felony abuse of a corpse. It is vague, at best. As currently written, ORC 2927.01 refers to it in two divisions, one of which is a second-degree misdemeanor and the other a fifth-degree felony. The only difference is the wording.Misdemeanor: No person, except as authorized by law, shall treat a human corpse in a way that the person knows would outrage reasonable family sensibilities. Felony: No person, except as authorized by law, shall treat a human corpse in a way that would outrage reasonable community sensibilities. Doesn’t dismemberment of a human body outrage everyone’s reasonable sensibilities? In Illinois, dismembering a human body is a Felony X charge, the most serious offense classification in that state where, “Regardless of how long the individual had been deceased or the relationship of the perpetrator to the individual, it is strictly forbidden to ‘sever, separate, dissect, or mutilate’ any part of a deceased person’s body.” The penalty, if convicted there, includes mandatory minimum sentences of 6-30 years in prison and no possibility of probation. We urge Ohio lawmakers to consider taking ORC 2927.01 Abuse of a Corpse under further advisement and revision to make for stronger penalties associated with such a heinous act. Further, we urge lawmakers to consider creating a law — Jessica Berry’s Law, let’s say — specifically for human body dismemberment that includes wording similar to Illinois’ law. Jessica Berry’s memory deserves it. THEIR VIEW Journalism isn’t rocket science, it’s harder Whenever I hear someone say, “Journalism isn’t rocket science” or some variation thereof, I refer to a blog post by Chip Scanlan, an instructor of The Poynter Institute’s online NewsU classroom: “Yeah, it’s much harder.” He goes on to explain that journalists work hard to report the news and tell timely stories with all the creativity, energy, passion and critical thinking skills to reflect the community in which they live and work, “all while covering an eight-hour marathon council meeting” or “staying on top of a fluid election and producing story that is fair, accurate, balanced, solidly reported and written with compelling clarity.” I would also add that journalists today must also be technologically web savvy. There’s a ton of information out there in cyberspace, but you can’t trust everything that’s on the internet. Imaging, while working at your job, a situation in which you ask a question and 1) you can reach anyone, either by phone, email, text, whatever, and 2) you leave a message and that person doesn’t get back with you, again, for whatever reason. of the community You need this already knows or information to has heard about it, adequately perform and the local media your job.

Journalism doesn’t In the case of criminal work like that. If most justice stories, journalists can’t really rely on online court records and social media accounts. Some online court records may be incomplete and almost never contain all the information one would see on a hard-copy document. And social media … well, I need not explain further on that one. The best information can be had through publicly accessible hardcopy court documents, especially in cases in which information is difficult to come by through traditional interviewing tactics. Of course, there are always interviews with witnesses and neighbors, which can be unreliable and inaccurate, at best. I’ve never been a big fan of that approach. Every day is different and brings new challenges. Sometimes those challenges present themselves at the drop of the hat. The key is to always be prepared, have a plan once the proverbial floodgates break and hopefully learn a little about a lot of things. Time to start building that rocket.

I’ve had exposure to both. By and large, people from this area are hardworking individuals. I’ve said it before, nobody gives us anything, so we have to work hard to get it — and I’m speaking generally of the area.” Smith said he feels his experience as a financial consultant prepared him to be a good listener in learning to meet client needs. “I think having a little bit of (a variety of demographics) throughout my district has made me see things a little bit differently,” Smith said. “Not just politically, but also in the dichotomies between the wealthy and the poor. I tell people I don’t have to drive to an area of my district to see the poor areas. I drive through it every day. It’s always kind of with me.” Smith’s ability to see multiple walks of life has apparently won him the support of the public as he has twice held his seat as a state representative of the district. Smith said he feels fortunate and appreciative to also serve as chairman of the House Finance Committee being a “sophomore” representative. Smith was part of the “Red Dot” campaign to bring new schools to the Gallia County area. He has served on the board for the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Community Improvement Corporation. Smith said he would like to see stronger broadband and internet access brought to his district as soon “everything will be done through the internet.” He would further focus on combating the drug epidemic in the area, as well as bringing better educational and employment opportunities. “Those things kind of all go hand in hand,” Smith said. “You need better internet access for educational opportunities. Better education means better jobs and better jobs means, hopefully, people won’t turn to drugs to cope with problems in their lives.” Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2103.

South Gallia (2-4, 1-3 TVC Hocking) had the opening position in the first quarter, but David Kuhn fumbled the ball at the Rebels own 36-yard line and Belpre recovered the unfortunate fumble. The Golden Eagles (3-3, 3-2) wasted no time off the clock as Tojzae Reams rushed for a 31-yard touchdown at the 10:25 mark. An unsuccessful PAT by Brandon Simonette gave the Golden Eagles a 6-0 lead. With 7:55 remaining in the first quarter, Johnny Sheets of South Gallia rushed for a five-yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion run by Sheets gave the Rebels an 8-6 first quarter advantage. At the 2:55 mark of the second quarter, Sheets had another rushing touchdown — this time for 11 yards as South Gallia extended its lead out to 14-6. The ensuing kickoff went to Belpre’s Deijon Bedgood on the Golden Eagles’ own 21-yard line, and the senior returned the kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown. A successful two-point conversion run by Ryan Simonette tied the game at 14-all entering halftime. At the 9:31 mark into the third quarter, Isaac Tullius capped off a 20-yard touchdown run and a successful two-point conversion run by Tullius allowed Belpre to regain the lead at 22-14.

With Wellston trailing 7-6 in the second half, the Golden Rockets punted three times — before the Raiders reached as deep as the Wellston 14-yardline early in the fourth period. A bad snap on 4thdown-and-3 from the 16 resulted in a Raider turnover on downs, but Wellston went only four plays before fumbling right back — at the River Valley 40 with only eight minutes to play. This time, the Raiders drove eight plays and all the way to the Wellston 8, but a River Valley fumble and a Joshua Bodey recovery for the Rockets gave them new life with three-and-a-half minutes left. However, after eight plays and a march to midfield, Michael Graham’s deep pass down the sideline for Daivon Newell was intercepted by Tre Craycraft with only a minute to go. Newell actually had a step or two on his defender, but Craycraft charged over from free safety — and made the racing pickoff. Craycraft, who enjoyed an all-around excellent game, also intercepted Graham on a deep ball with a minute and nine seconds left in the first half. “Being opportunistic. We had some big plays that obviously helped our plight and some things that we set up to take advantage of,” said Sparling. “Again, that is kids and coordinators, and I thought both did a great job.” The Rockets’ first turnover, which ended a nice nine-play drive to the Raider 14, was their first lost fumble. “It was a lack of consistency. In the first half, we had five procedure penalties. Those took us completely out of drives. Turnovers and penalties are things we’ve not had a lot of this year.

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils — who were celebrating Homecoming — it was visiting Fairland that ended its 15-game slide with a 49-34 Ohio Valley Conference victory. The Dragons (1-5, 1-2 OVC) scored on the game’s opening drive, as sophomore quarterback Joel Lambiotte broke a 60-yard run for a touchdown. Gallia Academy (0-6, 0-3) came up empty on its first drive of the game, but the Blue Devil defense then forced an FHS punt to keep the deficit at six. The Blue Devils methodically marched down the field — covering 92 yards in 17 plays — and sophomore quarterback Justin McCelland connected with classmate Cory Call for a 10-yard touchdown pass to cap off the series. GAHS senior Ty Howell kicked home the extra point and gave the Blue Devils a 7-6 lead with 8:20 left in the first half. The Blue Devil defense forced a turnover on downs on the ensuing Fairland possession, and the GAHS offense set up shop at the FHS 49. Gallia Academy picked up a pair of first downs and was at the FHS nineyard line, before the drive stalled out and Fairland took over at its own 21. On the first play of the FHS drive, Keedrick Cunningham broke a 79-yard run for six points, giving the Dragons a 12-7 lead headed into the half. The Blue Devils were forced to punt on their first drive of the second half, giving FHS the ball on its own 20. Despite three 10-yard penalties on the drive, the Dragons rushing attempts. Sipple ran nine times for a total of 119 yards and two scores, while catching four passes for 38 yards and one TD. Cade Roberts ran three times for 27 yards, while Quinton Yarger added 10 yards on five attempts. Call led all GAHS receivers with 41 yards and one score on five receptions. Garrett Burns caught three passes for 23 yards, Stout hauled in two passes for 29 yards, while Campbell had one 11-yard TD reception. Brody Thomas recovered three fumbles and recorded one sack to lead the GAHS defensive effort. Cunningham had 276 yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries to lead FHS, while catching one pass for one yard.

The visiting Marauders (3-3, 1-2 TVC Ohio) were simply overmatched by the Buckeyes, who scored 14 points in each of the first two periods en route to a commanding 28-0 halftime cushion. NYHS (4-2, 2-0) tacked on 13 more points in the third canto as the Orange and Brown extended their lead out to 41-0, but the Meigs finally cracked its way into the scoring column late in the fourth as Christian Mattox plunged in on a one-yard run — making it a 41-6 contest with five minutes left in regulation. Nelsonville-York concluded the scoring with 2:51 remaining in the game as Keegan Wilburn scampered 50 yards to paydirt while wrapping up the 41-point outcome. Garrett Maiden started the Buckeye scoring at the 7:17 mark of the opening canto after haul- ing in a 13-yard pass from Hunter Edwards, making it a 7-0 contest. Alex Mount followed with a 16-yard touchdown run with just 12 seconds remaining in the first for a 14-0 edge through 12 minutes of play. Mount added scoring runs of 42 and 21 yards in the second period, allowing NYHS to double its lead to 28-0 with 6:58 remaining in the half. Aron Davis gave the Buckeyes a 35-point edge after hauling in a 31-yard pass from Edwards at the 9:38 mark of the third, then Wilburn broke free on a 25-yard scoring run at the 4:30 mark of the third for a 42-0 advantage. Nelsonville-York outgained the Maroon and Gold by a sizable 409111 overall mark in total yards, which included a 347-99 advantage on the ground. The hosts claimed an 18-7 edge in first downs and were penalized six times for 88 yards, compared to only three penalties for 28 yards on the Marauders. NYHS — which finished the night plus-1 in turnover differential — averaged 9.9 yards per carry on the evening after producing 347 rushing yards on 35 attempts.

Gallia Academy is 6-0-0 and still leading the OVC — and can clinch no worse than a share of the crown with a win over visiting South Point this Thursday (Oct. 6). The Pointers put up four goals on the Blue Devils in their initial meeting, but the Blue and White rallied for a 5-4 win in that particular contest. With the shutout against the Dragons, Gallia Academy has outscored its OVC opposition 25-8. The Blue Devils have allowed one goal apiece in each of their other four league tilts. Lester’s goal was also Gallia Academy’s first in almost 113 minutes of game time. The club’s last point prior to Thursday night was also a Lester penalty kick — at Athens on Tuesday with 32 minutes remaining. Lester and Pedro Carrascal took five shots apiece for the Blue Devils, while Gallia Academy goalkeeper Caden Wilt made two saves. The Blue Devils defeated Fairland 2-1 in the two teams’ first matchup, as Gallia Academy led 2-0 at halftime — before the Dragons drilled home a penalty kick with 13 minutes to play.

After needing five games to pull off a win in the first matchup on September 8, the Eastern volleyball team wasted far less time Thursday night while claiming a season sweep of visiting Trimble during a 25-16, 25-12, 25-13 victory in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division match at The Nest in Meigs County. The Lady Eagles (9-6, 7-4 TVC Hocking) trailed only in Game 1 as the Lady Tomcats established early leads of 1-0 and 5-2, but the hosts rallied to knot things up at seven before scoring eight of the next nine points en route to a 15-8 edge. EHS went on a small 10-8 run the rest of the way while wrapping up a nine-point win and a 1-0 match lead. The Green and White led wire-to-wire in Game 2 after taking early leads of 8-0 and 17-1, but THS did score 11 of the final 18 points before running out of chances in a 13-point loss — giving Eastern a 2-0 match advantage. The Lady Eagles led 3-0 early in Game 3, but the guests put together a small run to close to within 7-6. EHS followed with a dozen of the next 14 points for a 19-8 edge and eventually closed out the straight-game decision with a 12-point victory. Morgan Baer led the Eastern service attack with 15 points and four aces, followed by Morgain Little with 12 points and Allison Barber with 11 points and three aces. Katlyn Barber was next with three points, with Abby Litchfield and Alexus Matheny each contributing two points. Makenzie Brooks also had one point for the victors. Little led the EHS net attack with 13 kills, followed by Katlyn Barber with 12 kills and Brooks with 10 kills. Allison Barber and Baer also contributed four and three kills, respectively. Allison Barber had a team-best 12 digs, with Baer and Elayna Bissell both chipping in 11 digs apiece. Baer also had a team-high 34 assists. Emily Ward paced Trimble with five service points, followed by Taya Lackey and Alexa Shust with four kills apiece. Kaitlyn Spears and Sydney Hardy also had a point each in the setback.

But the Spartans were simply too tall, too talented, and in the end just too good. In a three-game sweep on Thursday night, in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division volleyball tilt, the Spartans turned aside the Marauders 25-18, 25-7 and 25-15 inside Meigs High School’s Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. With the loss, the Lady Marauders fell to 2-6 in the TVC-Ohio — part of 6-10 overall. Alexander, whose only league loss is against league-leader Athens, is now 15-3 — and 7-1 within the division. Meigs is also glad to be finished with the final week of September, of which the Marauders also lost at Warren and Wellston. Prior to last week, the Maroon and Gold had won four consecutive contests. Against Alexander, they played the Spartans tough in the opening and closing games, but Alexander pulled away — sandwiched around an easy 25-7 triumph in the second set. In game one, Meigs held brief advantages at 3-2 and 4-3, as the set Staff Report Paul Boggs | OVP Sports Meigs’ Kassidy Betzing (3) returns a volley during the Lady Marauders’ Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division volleyball match against Alexander on Thursday night at Meigs High School’s Larry R.

But the Spartans scored three consecutive points to make it 8-5, and Meigs — despite only trailing anywhere from five to seven points the remainder of the game — got no closer than 8-6. Jenna Terry tallied the game-winning kill for Alexander, which then scored six straight points in the second game to lead 8-1. The Spartans kept building the lead, as the 25-7 final was their largest advantage of the entire second set. Alexander scored four straight to make it 13-4, seven straight to make it 20-5, and finally three in a row to wrap it up. In fact, the Lady Marauders’ only points in the period came courtesy of four errors — and separate kills by McKenzie Ohlinger, Alliyah Pullins and Devyn Oliver. In game three, Meigs scored the opening three points — and even held leads as large as 6-1 and 7-2. But six straight by Alexander gave the Spartans their first cushion, as the set was tied at 7-7, 8-8, 9-9, 10-10 and finally 11-11. Another Terry kill pushed the Spartans in front 12-11, and they never trailed again in scoring 13 of the final 17 points. Jala Mace amassed 13 kills, eight digs and two blocks, while Terry tallied 11 kills and had one block. Lexi Whitney, the Spartans’ strong middle hitter, hammered home nine kills and eight blocks. Setter Sydney Davis dished out 38 assists, while Hunter Markins managed four kills and 10 digs. Nicole Hudnall led the Lady Spartans with 11 digs, while she and Mallory Rankin registered three aces apiece. Oliver led the Lady Marauders with four service points, as Maddie Hendricks had three and Kassidy Betzing added two.

Wellston is big and physical and strong. This game may have been decided on the perimeter, but in the trenches was where it was won,” said Sparling. “As far as our backs go, our kids played hard and they ran hard.” Jayjohn paced all rushers with 140 yards on 23 attempts, as Nick Cox chipped in 80 yards on 17 tries.

A failed two-point conversion allowed BHS to maintain a 22-20 edge headed into the fourth quarter. As the fourth canto started ticking down, the Rebels marched the ball down the field and approached Belpre’s 10-yard line. The Red and Gold lost the ball on downs and Belpre seized the moment, driving the ball down to the opposite field with ease. With 8:14 remaining in the game, Belpre’s Isaac Tullius capped off a 14-yard touchdown run and a successful two-point conversion pass from Brandon Simonette to Jesse Collins gave the Black and Orange a 30-20 cushion. Johnny Sheets of South Gallia — who surpassed the 1,000 rushing yard mark in the contest with 325 yards — pushed his season mark to 1,202 rushing yards through six weeks. Colten Coughenour led SGHS in passing after completing 1-of-3 passes for 13 yards.

Perhaps it is because there has been more discussion about Monarchs than ever before, but we paid a lot of attention and observed caterpillars, chrysalises, and adults, mostly using the swamp milkweed. Monarchs are also easily reared in classrooms or homes and then released into the wild, and are of course totally harmless to humans (unless you try to eat one).

Colton Holbrook became the fifth Tornado to reach the end zone, scoring on a nine yard touchdown run through the middle. With 9.1 seconds remaining in the half, Federal Hocking scored its first points on a 40 yard touchdown pass from Dillon Wilfong to Gavin Conkle. Getting the ball back with less than three seconds remaining in the first half would be the only possession of the first half in which the hosts did not score. After a quick three and out by the Lancers to begin the third quarter, Southern running backs Roush and Akers moved the ball down field, with Roush taking the ball in from two yards out for the score.

That building at 111 Court St. has served as the home of Meigs County’s newspaper since the late 1960s, when Farmers Bank moved from the building into its location on West Second Street. Established in 1948, The Daily Sentinel (or just The Sentinel in some of the early years) may not be at its familiar location on Court Street, but rest assured we are not far away (just down the street) and will continue to be part of the Meigs County community, providing daily news to Meigs County and beyond. The move is bittersweet for some inside the office, as well as some in the community. As people say, “If the walls could talk.” I’m sure there would be many stories and laughs, some of which made it in print, and others which never left those four walls. As we prepared to move out of the office where I have spent a small portion of my journalism career (about two-and-a-half years), I wanted to reflect back on the past of the Sentinel and what the future may hold. So where do you go when you work at the newspaper and want to look back at the past — the digitized microfilms at the Meigs County Library. While the Sentinel, according to information I found at the office, dates back to 1948, the first edition on microfilm was July 16, 1949. So that will be the point where we start — July 16, 1949. The front page of The Sentinel was a mix of local news, state news and national news, including Sunday Creek Coal Company building near Cheshire. Like news, sports also featured some local, regional and national coverage, much the way the sports pages still do today. Some of the names of businesses and individuals have also remained the same over the years, as have some of the topics that make headlines in the daily editions. Headlines in the 1960s included the Route 33 project which would place the fourlane road from Darwin to Rocksprings. Some 40 years later, Route 33 was again in the news in the early 2000s as Route 33 again traded in some curvy roads for a new highway between Athens and Pomeroy, as well as Pomeroy to Ravenswood, W.Va. Only time will tell if another project on Route 33 will make headlines 40 years from now. In July 1967, Ohio Power Company (eventually AEP) made head- Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel The Daily Sentinel office at 111 Court St. had been home to the newspaper since the late 1960s. On Friday, the Sentinel officially closed its doors at the location, moving to 109 W. Second St. in Pomeroy. The Sentinel — 1949 The Daily Sentinel — April 1967 The Daily Sentinel — July 1967 A special section of The Daily Sentinel for the 175th anniversary of Meigs County The Daily Sentinel — 1993 lines, purchasing 750 acres in the Cheshire area. In recent weeks, the company has made headlines for selling the power plant located in the same area. Charles Chancey also made headlines in 1967, returning to Meigs as football coach. Chancey would coach the Marauders for the next two decades. Now, it is his son, Mike Chancey, and his football team who are making headlines. The year 1967 was also big for the Sentinel itself as that was the time in which Bob Wingett, who served as publisher, purchased the 111 Court St. property and Bob and Charlene Hoeflich joined the paper. The Hoeflichs had been Meigs County correspondents for the Athens Messenger before coming over to the Sentinel in April 1967. Bob Hoeflich served as the paper’s general manager/editor from that time until the late 1980s when Charlene Hoeflich became general manager/editor. Charlene Hoeflich remained at the Sentinel until 2014. While the faces in the office and the names in the paper have changed over the years, one thing remains the same — the Sentinel is here to provide local news coverage to the area. One difference I did notice when looking at the older editions, compared to today’s papers, is the amount of personal news that appeared in the editions. For the record, which now includes marriage licenses, court news and bits of other information once listed all of the admissions to the hospital, along with visiting hours and information. With current HIPAA laws, it is hard for me to imagine day in which information such as that was made public, let alone printed for everyone to read. There also seems to be more photos and color in the paper in recent years. I think we can chalk that one up to changes in technology. I am sure there have been many other changes along the way — some for the better and some not so much — but the thing that remains at the end of the day is that the Sentinel, and its sister papers in Gallipolis and Point Pleasant, remain dedicated to providing local news coverage to the area’s residents. Beginning on Tuesday, visit us at our new office at 109 W. Second St. in Pomeroy, conveniently located at the intersection of Second Street and Mulberry Avenue. Our phone number remains the same at 740-992-2155. �ALONG THE RIVER 2C Sunday, October 2, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS Early detection key to fighting breast cancer October is nationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. American Cancer Society estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2016 are about 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women; about 61,000 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer); and about 40,450 women will die from breast cancer. In Meigs County, breast cancer was one of several leading sites/ types of cancer incidence between 2008-2012. It was also one of the leading sites/types of cancer mortality during this period of time. According to the Meigs County Community Health Assessment Overview Report compiled by Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs (on behalf of the Meigs County Health Department), “Though the rates of several types of cancer (i.e. breast cancer ) are lower in Meigs County than state and national rates, the mortality rate is higher in Meigs County. … This underscores the community’s limited access to preventative care and treatment services and suggests lower cancer screening rates and possible reluctance to change necessary health behaviors.” According to the ACS, breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is malignant (cancerous) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too. It’s also important to understand that most breast lumps are not cancer, they are benign. Benign breast tumors are abnormal growths, but they do not spread outside of the breast and they are not lifethreatening. But some benign breast lumps can increase a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer. has irregular edges Any breast lump is more likely to or change needs be cancerous, but to be checked breast cancers can by a health care be tender, soft or provider to deterrounded.

Cancers that are found early — when they’re small and haven’t spread — are easier to treat and have better outcomes. Why is it important to find breast cancer early? The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances that treatment will work. Breast cancers that are found because they can be felt tend to be larger and are more likely to have already spread outside the breast. But screening exams can often find breast cancers when they are small and still confined to the breast. The size of a breast cancer and how far it has spread are some of the most important factors in predicting the outlook (prognosis) of a woman with this disease. At this time, there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. This includes women still being treated and those who have completed treatment. Most doctors feel early detection tests for breast cancer save thousands of lives each year. Many When a person becomes disabled, it can be a very stressful time in their life. There are many questions and unknowns when you have to transition out of the workforce due to medical issues. While an employer may offer short or long-term disability, most people faced with a disability will file for benefits with Social Security.

Additionally, you can contact us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visit your local office if you wish to apply for disability benefits. When applying for benefits, you should be prepared to answer a number of questions including:When your conditions became disabling: Dates you last worked; The names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of visits to your doctors; The names of medications that you take and medical tests you’ve had; and Marital information. In addition, if you plan on applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability payments, for people with low income who haven’t paid enough in Social Security taxes to be covered, we will ask you questions about: Your current living arrangement, including who lives there and household expenses; All sources of income for you and your spouse, if applicable; and The amount of your resources, including bank account balances, vehicles, and other investments. You can view our disability starter kit at www. socialsecurity.gov/disability/disability_starter_kits. htm.
