Their success or failure through these programs are strictly left to the individual defendants. ” Assistant Prosecutor Britt Wiseman added that many drug-related crimes in Gallia County are fueled by addiction. “We remain committed to working with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, Gallipolis Police Department, Rio Grande Police Department, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the Attorney General’s Organized Crimes Task Force to combat the influx of heroin and other drugs into our community,” he said. “Law enforcement is a critical piece of the overall solution to the drug epidemic and we come to work every day in a coordinated effort to tackle this complex problem our community faces.” Reach Michael Johnson at 740-446-2342, ext. 2102, or on Twitter @OhioEditorMike. Holzer Wound Care Center earns award Staff report GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Wound Care Center has received the Center of Distinction Award by Healogics Inc., the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. The center achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including patient satisfaction higher than 92 percent, a minimum wound healing rate of at least 91 percent within 30 median days to heal, and other quality outcomes. There were 506 centers eligible for the Center of Distinction award — only 172 achieved the honor. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an essential part of chronic wound treatment plans. This type of medical treatment increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood, allowing oxygen to pass more easily through the plasma into wounds. In the chamber, the patient is surrounded with 100 percent oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. Throughout the treatment, the patient is supervised by a specially-trained physician and monitored by a technician. While a patient is in the chamber, there is the opportunity to watch television or listen to music. In addition, the technician can be available to speak to the patient through the conveniently located phone available on the chamber to answer any questions, or to provide conversation during the treatment. Holzer Wound Care Center is staffed with a team of doctors, nurses and therapists specializing in healing chronic wounds. The causes of wounds are complex, and Holzer officials said their team offers expertise in all areas needed to handle a particular wound circumstance.

Then out of nowhere, a longtime dear friend of mine, Jennifer Bays, called me Thursday morning and asked, ‘Do you need a ride to Chicago? Do you want me to take you?’” Gillman said he was thankful his friend came through for him. “I found it pretty amazing and pretty much miraculous to be quite honest. Jennifer has been there since almost the beginning of when I started performing country music. She has, on many occasions, been my designated driver, and the one to make sure I made it to various karaoke contests and venues I have performed. So I felt it was only appropriate that she join me on this adventure, also.” Because of the weather, the pair decided to leave for the Windy City at 3 a.m. Feb. 13, with the temperature so low that Gillman’s beer froze in the back of Bays’ truck. After arriving in Chicago around 9:30 a.m., Gillman and Bays decided to head to Navy Pier, where the auditions would be taking place. “It was pretty awesome,” he said. “As we walked around the pier, you See MUSICIAN | 6A 14,600 blighted properties demolished By Ann Sanner — SPORTS Basketball: 1B Schedule: 1B Courtesy photo Cory Gillman COLUMBUS, Ohio — More than 14,600 blighted properties around Ohio have been demolished in the past two years under a program aimed at benefiting areas affected by foreclosures, the state’s attorney general said Friday. Ohio used $75 million from a national settlement with major mortgage servicers to create a grant program in 2012 to revitalize neighborhoods and eliminate abandoned structures. A portion of the settlement money also was designated for consumer relief in the form of cash payments, loan modifications and refinancing. Attorney General Mike DeWine released a report on the results of the demolition program at a news conference Friday. The grant program helped get rid of eyesore properties that posed as safety hazards and havens for crime, he said. For instance, one threestory property in Hardin County had become known as “The Heroin Hotel” because of the number of police calls for drug activity. The building was in such poor shape that a side street near it had to be closed at times, according to the report from DeWine’s office. “The demolition took longer than expected as the contractors took extra precautions to avoid the large number of needles they found during inspections and debris removal,” the report read. The site is now a green space. Each of Ohio’s 88 counties received grant money based on their percentage of foreclosures from 2008 to 2011. Cuyahoga County, home to Cleveland, saw the most housing units razed at 3,449. Franklin County demolished 1,800 units, while Hamilton County tore down 1,626 units.

She is already sorely missed by her family and many friends. Dottie was born April 1, 1943, the only child of Orville “Pete” and Dorothy Brown. She grew up on Rose Hill surrounded by the many aunts, uncles and cousins who gave “Browntown” its name. Her passing was preceded by the death of her father in 1961, a stepfather, Charles Sheets in 1987, as well as that of her inseparable mother, Dorothy, in 2012. On August 26, 1962, Dottie married her high school sweetheart, John Musser. Over the last 52 years, they have demonstrated a deep and steadfast love that embodied the promise, “for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health.” Dottie was a wonderful mother to her son, Steve, and daughter-in-law, Barbie Musser. She adored and occasionally bragged (just a little) about her grandchildren, Elena, Bobby and Jack. In addition to John, Steve, Barbie, Elena, Bobby and Jack, Dottie is survived by two aunts, Dee Bentz and Sarah Dill. She had a brother-in-law, Rudy (Lois) Musser who passed in 2004, and has two surviving sisters-inlaw, Ruby Ann Hender- ROBERT E.

Remarkably for an only child, she has 22 nieces and nephews and scores of great nieces and nephews. In addition to her family, Dottie leaves behind special friends Dixie Sayre and Dee Hysell. She worshipped at Trinity Church in Pomeroy for forty years, and especially loved singing in the choir and serving on the library board. The Red Hat Society afforded camaraderie among members who shared “fun and friendship after 50.” During her years working at Farmers Bank and the Meigs Inn, Dottie developed many close and lasting friendships. Dottie always loved to travel. She and John even had the chance to tour much of Europe while John was in the army and stationed at SwabischGmund, Germany. “Roughing it” in her motor home was one of her favorite things to do, and many of her family’s most cherished memories were made on those vacations. She also loved flowers, and took great pride in her flower beds each summer. Dottie’s funeral will be held on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy. Calling hours for family and friends will be from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday. Funeral services will be conducted jointly by her good friend, Paul Reed, along with her pastor, Randy Smith. Dottie was very grateful for the medical care she received in recent years. As an alternative to flowers, the family is suggesting donations to two charities she favored: The American Diabetes Association at www.donations. diabetes.org and St. Vincent Hospital Foundation Organ Transplants 8402 Harcourt Rd, Suite 210 Indianapolis, IN 46260 www.give.stvincent.org.

Crop insurance deadline is coming Staff report OHIO VALLEY — The USDA’s Risk Management Agency reminds producers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio that the final date to purchase or modify crop insurance coverage on most insurable spring-planted crops is March 15. Crop insurance protects producers from natural disasters which affect crop yields and revenues. Producers have a number of coverage choices, including yield coverage, revenue protection and area risk policies. “Farmers have several new insurance options to consider for the 2015 crop years, as well as improvements to the farm safety net for beginning farmers and those with diversified operations,” said Brian Friedan, RMA Springfield Regional Office director. Many of the new options are provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill that RMA was able to implement in time for spring crops this year. The Supplemental Coverage Option is available this spring for corn, grain sorghum and soybeans. SCO is a county-level policy endorsement that covers a portion of the producer’s deductible of their underlying crop insurance policy. Whole-Farm Revenue Protection insurance expands options for livestock, specialty crop, organic and diversified crop producers. Whole-farm insurance allows the crops and livestock to be insured under a single policy and provides premium discounts for crop diversification. It protects against low revenue due to unavoidable natural disasters and market fluctuations that affect income during the insurance year. The Actual Production History Yield Exclusion provides relief to producers affected by sever weather, including drought. A producer may exclude his yield in years the county average yield is at least 50 percent below the 10 previous consecutive crop year average yields. There are also new benefits for beginning farmers for the 2015 crop year. These benefits help farmers just starting out establish production history and reduce cost of insurance. Producers are strongly urged to contact a crop insurance agent as soon as possible for premium quotes and more details. Crop insurance is sold and delivered soely through private crop insruance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator at www.rma. usda.gov/tools/agent. html. Producers can use the RMA Cost Estimator at https:// ewebapp.rma.usda. gov/apps/costestimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Meigs Local Board accepts bid for vehicle By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs Local Board earlier this week accepted a bid from Thornhill Ford for a 2015 pickup truck in the amount of $32,912.

With staggering numbers of Ohioans struggling with addiction to opiates, it is our duty as state legislators to continue finding new ways to help our fellow citizens overcome these dependencies. While my colleagues and I in the House have addressed these issues in previous general assemblies with success, it will take continued work in the coming years to keep Ohioans from falling victim to these destructive drugs. From 2013 to 2014, I served as the vice chairman of the House Prescription Drug Addiction and Healthcare Reform Study Committee, which researched these issues extensively. Our committee spent the summer of 2013 traveling the state to cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo to hear stories from Ohioans who struggled with addiction, consult Rep. Ryan with medical professionals at the Smith area hospitals and discuss the probContributing lem of addiction with local officials. Columnist The research and experience we gained during this time was invaluable. Over the past two years, we in the state Legislature have worked on many pieces of legislation designed to combat this epidemic and help those suffering from addiction. Recently passed legislation has been designed to improve the level of care at Ohio’s rural treatment centers, crack down on “pill mills” distributing these powerful prescription drugs and improve oversight on prescribing other opioids used to treat opiate addiction. We have also seen penalties increase against those who sell drugs to pregnant women and designated the first Friday of May as “Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness and Education Day.” However, I believe much more work needs to be done. We have made improving Naloxone protocols a priority in the House for this General Assembly. Naloxone is a medication used to treat drug overdoses. I believe that if it is distributed under physician-established protocols to addicts and to individuals who are in contact with addicted drug users, it can be a tool we use to keep Ohioans alive and on a path toward treatment instead of death. House Bill 4, sponsored by my colleagues Rep. Robert Sprague and Rep. Jeff Rezabek, seeks to achieve this. My colleagues and I will continue to place great importance on these issues. Please contact my office if you have any additional questions, concerns or ideas about this issue or any other state government related issues. I look forward to hearing from you. Rep. Ryan Smith, R-Bidwell, represents the 93rd District in the Ohio House of Representatives. Sunday Times-Sentinel Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

On the other hand, of the budget that is discretionary the federal debt — what we owe to spending, Congress never rewrites creditors who financed our accu- mulated annual deficits — is higher than it’s been for generations, and we’re not dealing with the hard choices necessary to get it under control. In particular, this means finding ways to control entitlement spending in an aging society. We do not need to panic about our finances, but we can’t afford to be complacent either. There will be voices in Congress over the next few months urging that we curb spending sharply. In a recovering economy that is still beset with income stagnation, I’d argue that slamming hard on the brakes would be a mistake. Instead, we need to shift our spending toward investment, focusing on areas that generate or underpin economic growth: infrastructure, research and development, education. Congress used to reign supreme in budget-making. George Washington didn’t even think it was his job to send a budget to Congress, and the president wasn’t legally required to submit one until the budget act of 1921 codified the practice. Now, of course, the President has become the chief budgetmaker, and the Congress reacts to — and largely accepts — his proposals. The maneuvering on Capitol Hill over the next few months will, indeed, nudge the country in one direction or another. But our basic course was already set by the time those 2,000 pages hit lawmakers’ desks. Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Sunday, March 1, the 60th day of 2015. There are 305 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 1, 1565, the city of Rio de Janeiro was founded by Portuguese knight Estacio de Sa. On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed a measure authorizing the first U.S. Census. In 1815, Napoleon, having escaped exile in Elba, arrived in Cannes, France, and headed for Paris to begin his “Hundred Days” rule. In 1867, Nebraska became the 37th state. In 1890, J.P. Lippincott published the first U.S. edition of the Sherlock Holmes mystery “A Study in Scar- let” by Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was kidnapped from the family home near Hopewell, N.J. (Remains identified as those of the child were found the following May.) In 1940, “Native Son” by Richard Wright was first published by Harper & Brothers. In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, back from the Yalta Conference, proclaimed the meeting a success as he addressed a joint session of Congress. In 1954, four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the spectators’ gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, wounding five members of Congress. The United States deto- nated a dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, codenamed Castle Bravo, at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Robert Clary is 89. Singer Harry Belafonte is 88. Actor Robert Conrad is 80.

Public open houses will be held Saturday, March 7 from noon to 3 p.m. at all district offices. Here in southeastern Ohio that means the District 4 office at 360 East State Street, Athens. It is hard to miss the District 4 office, it is pretty much the only office with a pond in front of it. Open houses give the public an opportunity to view and discuss proposed fishing, hunting and trapping regulations with the ODNR Division of Wildlife officials. For Ohioans who are unable to attend an open house, comments will be accepted online at wildohio.gov. The online form will be available until Sunday, March 8. Undoubtedly most people will be commenting on deer hunting regulations. The division recently proposed the following dates for upcoming deer seasons: deer archery season, Sept. 26-Feb. 7, 2016; youth deer gun season, Oct. 10-11; deer gun season, Nov. 30-Dec. 6, and Dec. 26-27; muzzleloader deer season, Jan. 2-5, 2016. The early antlerless-only deer muzzleloader season is going away, and the youth deer gun season is moved to early October (and out of the rut), gun hunters get an additional two-day bonus season the weekend after Christmas and muzzleloader and archery seasons are largely unchanged. Meigs and Gallia counties will be two-deer counties, with an overall trend towards lower bag limits and a statewide bag limit of six deer, with only one antlerless buck. A statewide hearing on all of the proposed rules will be held at the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s District One office on Thursday, March 19, at 9 a.m. The office is located at 1500 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43215. The Ohio Wildlife Council is an eight-member board that approves all of the ODNR Division of Wildlife proposed rules and regulations. The council will vote on the proposed rules and season dates during its meeting on Wednesday, April 8, after considering public input. Small game and wild turkey hunting season dates were proposed at the January council meeting and will also be voted on by the council on April 8. Council meetings are open to the public. Individuals who want to provide comments on a topic that is currently being considered by council are asked to preregister at least two days prior to the meeting by calling 614-265-6304. All comments are required to be three minutes or less. Lately it seems like the Ohio Division of Wildlife has become the Ohio Division of Deer Hunting, with many hunters forgetting that there are plenty of other great hunting opportunities; ones that don’t particularly cost a lot of money or require specialized equipment or lots of travel. The best example of that may be squirrel hunting. In other matters, Ohio’s 2015 hunting and fishing licenses are officially on sale and 2014 licenses are no longer valid. Also, trout stocking will be held at Forked Run Lake on March 13, Lake Alma on March 27, and Dow Lake on April 2.

(AP) — Marlon Byrd knows the Reds traded for him because they think he’ll bring them more than just another run producer in left field. Cincinnati is hoping the 14-year veteran also helps with a clubhouse that’s still got a lot of young players. Byrd notes that he’s been demoted, suspended and traded during his career, so he can help everyone learn from his experience. “That’s what veterans do,” Byrd said. “I tell all the young guys about being traded, being designated (for the minors), being suspended. I’ve done it all. I’ve played winter ball. I tell them watch me. This is what you do.” Byrd was suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball during the 2012 season after testing positive for a substance that Recycle this newspaper!

The two All-Stars average a combined 41.7 points and 12.5 assists. Not surprisingly, Cleveland lost both of those games. Pacers: Paul George has returned to practice, but he’s still not suiting up for Indiana. The twotime All-Star sat on the Pacers bench dressed in a brown sport coat and dark slacks. He’s hoping to make his season debut in mid-March, less than eight months after having surgery to repair his broken right leg. UP NEXT Cavaliers: Visit Houston on Sunday.

Reds looking for more than offense Washington Recliners $ doomed from the moment coach David Blatt decided to sit James, one night after he scored a seasonhigh 42 points. James wasn’t even on the bench with his teammates for Cleveland’s third loss in 21 games. James has missed 11 games this season, nine because of a back injury. But Cleveland still had chances. It used a 9-0 fourthquarter run to close to 76-70 with 7:18 left. Indiana answered with nine straight points, then gave up 11 straight to the Cavs, who got within 85-81 with 1:35 left. Stuckey 3-pointer with 1:14 to go made it 88-81 and Indiana closed it out at the free throw line. TIP-INS Cavaliers: Friday night can reduce side effects of steroid use and increase testosterone. Byrd said he took it for a medical condition unrelated to baseball. The Reds got Byrd in a trade with Philadelphia in December to play left field, a trouble spot for the last two years with Ryan Ludwick hurt or slumping. He joins a lineup that struggled to score runs last season. Byrd batted .264 with 25 homers and 85 RBIs in 154 games for Philadelphia last season. He also struck out a career-high 185 times. Reducing the strikeouts is one of his main goals this year. He knows he’ll get a lot of attention as the only newcomer in the everyday lineup. “Yes, there is pressure and there should be,” Byrd said. “This is a team that wanted me. I’ve got to come in to fill that veteran role, the left field spot, and bring some pop to the lineup. I have to do what I’ve done the last two years. To do any less is just a failure on my part.” Notes: Starter Homer Bailey threw off a mound for the first time on Friday, making 20 cautious pitches. Bailey is recovering from surgery last September to repair a torn tendon in the right forearm by the elbow. “A couple came out of my hand pretty good, but I’m not going to say I got after it 100 percent,” Bailey said. “All things considered, it went pretty well.” … Manager Bryan Price plans to have Bailey throw off the mound three more times as he works his way back from surgery. Bailey doesn’t expect to be ready for the first homestand of the season, but hopes he can reclaim his spot in the rotation by mid-April. Browns, quarterback agree to terms on contract BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns have yet another new quarterback, and this one has a familiar last name. Josh McCown, who went 1-10 as Tampa Bay’s starter last season, agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Cleveland on Friday. McCown’s younger brother, Luke, played for the Browns in 2004 — one of 22 different starting quarterbacks the Browns have used since 1999. The 35-year-old McCown had also been in contract talks with the Buffalo Bills, who like the Browns have QB issues. While McCown didn’t play well in 2014, he does give the Browns options as they try to solidify a problematic position. McCown will likely compete for the starting job, but if he doesn’t win it, he can serve as a mentor for Johnny Manziel and Connor Shaw. Or possibly be a backup if the Browns sign another veteran in free agency or draft one of the top college prospects in this year’s draft. “I just want to serve our team and help everybody in that locker room, do my best to help everybody in the locker room be better at their job, and they’re going to help me, too,” McCown said. “It’s a twoway street. I’m just excited about coming in and being a part of a team.” McCown’s signing also likely means the Browns have decided not to re-sign Brian Hoyer, who won 10 games for them the past two seasons. Poised to become a free agent next month, Hoyer made 13 starts last season before he was benched in favor of Manziel, who entered a rehab facility last month. Hoyer had hoped to meet with Browns general manager Ray Farmer next week to discuss his future, but now that meeting might be unnecessary. Farmer trusts McCown will have a positive impact on the Browns. “Josh is your consummate professional,” Farmer said. “He’s known to be a great guy in the locker room and will be great for the quarterback room. He knows how to get an entire offense on the same page and get a team to rally behind him. He has been exposed to a lot of different types of offenses and we think still has the drive and skill set to be a successful quarterback in this league. �CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, March 1, 2015 5B JORDAN LANDING APARTMENTS Land (Acreage) Yes, we have apples!

Five grapplers from Mason County had their state title dreams thwarted on Thursday. Five more had their championship hopes dashed on Friday. But, like last year, one Point Pleasant sophomore is still in the running for a gold medal after Day 2 at the 68th annual WVSSAC Wrestling Championships being held at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. Sophomore Grant Safford aims to become the 14th Big Black in program history to win a state title during the Class AAA finals of the 195-pound division Saturday night after posting a perfect 3-0 mark in the opening two days of the state meet. Safford — a first-time state finalist and two-time state qualifier — will face Tyler Koreski of Parkersburg South in the large division final. Safford enters the championship match with a 50-2 overall record this winter, while Koreski — a senior — owns a 38-7 mark.

Safford then claimed a 13-2 major decision over Isaiah Myers of Wheeling Park in the semis to earn his spot in the championship bout. Safford is one of only three Mason County wrestlers that will still be competing headed into the final day of the event. PPHS teammates Hunter White (170) and Jon Peterson (182) are still alive in the consolation brackets Panthers From Page 1B two-pointer just a minute later, but RVHS junior Tyler Twyman sank a trifecta at the buzzer to give the Silver and Black the 10-9 lead through eight minutes of play. The Raiders held a 9-to-6 rebounding edge in the first quarter and outrebounded Chesapeake 3-to-2 on the RVHS end of the floor. Chesapeake shot just 3-of- 13 from the field in the opening canto, but forced five turnovers. The RVHS lead was short-lived as CHS scored the first four points of the second quarter and held River Valley scoreless until the 4:08 mark when Twyman ended the RVHS drought with a two-pointer. Chesapeake ended the half on a four-minute, 10-3 run that put Purple and White ahead 23-15 headed into the locker rooms.

The single win by Kearns, however, allowed the White Falcons to score one point at the 2015 meet, extending the program’s state scoring streak to five consecutive postseasons. WHS was the last of 41 teams to score at least one point in the Class AA-A field after two days of competition.

The teams traded baskets for the first three minutes of the second half, but River Valley went on a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to 27-24 with one minute left in the third period. The Panthers, who did not turn the ball over any in the third, closed the quarter on a 5-to-2 spurt that extended the lead to 32-26 with eight minutes to play. River Valley outrebounded CHS 7-to-3 in the third, but the Raiders — who were 5-of-7 from the field — committed four turnovers in the period. The Silver and Black scored the first four points of the fourth quarter on back-to-back field goals by Hardway, which cut the deficit to one score. Chesapeake marked five straight points over a 30 second span, but RVHS answered with a 5-0 run of its own and the Raiders were down just two points with 2:41 left. The Panthers scored six of the next eight points, and River Valley was forced to foul to try and extend the game. CHS was 6-of-7 from the line over the final minute with River Valley’s only points coming on a Kirk Morrow three-pointer with eight seconds left. Chesapeake, which committed four of its six turnovers in the fourth period, claimed the season sweep of RVHS and its 28th sectional crown by a 49-40 count. “We fell a little behind in the beginning because our intensity wasn’t there,” first year RVHS head coach Jeremy Peck said. “We came in at halftime and got ourselves settled, we talked about what we needed to do to get back in it and win the game, but we had just fallen too far behind and couldn’t recover. I’m not taking anything away from Chesapeake, they played a great game and down the stretch they knocked down crucial free throws.” Morrow led River Valley with 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in the setback, while Tyler Twyman marked 10 points and a teamhigh eight rebounds. Jon Qualls marked 10 points and two steals, Dayton Hardway added eight points and two blocks, while Jacob Dovenbarger finished with one point and six rebounds. Chesapeake was paced by Gage Rhoades with 14 points, six assists and three steals, all of which were team-highs. Jake Stevens marked 12 points, Aaron Thompson added eight, Austin Carpenter chipped in with seven, while Brad Meadows and Kolton Webb rounded out the Panther scoring with five and three points respectively. Meadows pulled in a game-high 12 rebounds, while recording two steals and a block. Both Chesapeake and River Valley hit 17 field goals in the game, including three trifectas apiece. The Silver and Black shot just 3-of-10 (30 percent) from the free throw line and 17-of-41 (41.5 percent) from the field, including 3-of-13 (23.1 percent) from beyond the arc. CHS was 12-of-17 (70.6 percent) from the free throw line, 17-of-48 (35.4 percent) from the field, and 3-of-11 (27.3 percent) from beyond the arc. RVHS held a 29-to-25 advantage on the glass, but Chesapeake pulled in two more offensive rebounds that the Raiders. As a team River Valley marked seven assists, four steals, two blocks and 17 turnovers, while the Panthers tallied eight assists, nine steals, two blocks and six turnovers. “I can’t take anything away from my boys, I’m proud of them,” Peck said. “They’ve achieved double-digit wins for the first time since 2007, won their first tournament game to make the sectional finals and they’ve set the standard for River Valley. I’m proud of every single one of them and the effort they gave was magnificent.” Chesapeake, which has now won back-to-back sectional titles and won 13 of the last 15, will face Piketon in the district semifinal on March 8, at Ohio University. The Panthers also defeated RVHS on January 20, by a 55-50 count in Bidwell. River Valley, which is still looking for its first sectional crown since 1999, has two regular season makeup games remaining on the schedule. The Raiders will host Meigs on Monday and travel to Athens to take on the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division champion Bulldogs on Tuesday.

According to the American Heart Association, one woman dies every minute from heart disease. More women die from heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. She said it’s important for the women to learn how to take care of their heart and take notice of the risks and symptoms of heart disease. Information on what individuals can do to take care of their heart and prevent heart disease was shared with those in attendance. Eating right, exercise and knowing your numbers are essential to knowing your risk of heart disease. Numbers refer to blood pressure readings and cholesterol amounts in the body. The panel expressed the importance of portion control in eating one’s favorite foods, and to incorporate healthy options in one’s diet whenever possible. In addition, exercise and physical fitness are important to keeping one’s heart healthy. Building a relationship with a primary care physician was stressed to those in attendance. A show of hands represented how many in the room have a primary care physician, and how many have regular appointments with their providers to monitor numbers and overall health. Dr. Matos stressed the importance of having a primary care physician and making sure they are aware of an individual’s numbers and symptoms to properly address health concerns. Murphy stressed the importance of exercise and how the American Heart Association encourages individuals to receive at least 150 minutes a week of cardiovascular exercise. This could include walking, gardening, etc., and can be broken down into increments of three 10 minute sessions each day if schedules allow. A video was shared featuring Beaver and her family’s recent experiences. Her husband, Larry, recently passed away from a heart attack. “Create a relationship with your doctor. Know your numbers. Take care of yourself,” she said. “Life was perfect, and it changed overnight. Don’t let it happen to your loved ones. Go to their doctor appointments and make sure all the symptoms are reported to keep yourself and your family healthy.” In addition, Beaver shared her grandson Bennett’s experience with his heart surgery. “Bennett is our miracle baby. He has overcome so much and he’s doing so well.” Bennett has undergone several surgeries to fix a heart issue with which he was born. “Take care of yourself. Don’t take anything for granted,” stressed his mother in a video message shared during the luncheon. When asked for health tips, Dr. Nelson stressed the importance of starting “sooner the better, but it’s never too late. We are seeing coronary diseases at an earlier age, a large part of this is because we are seeing more obesity in children. Encourage your children to go out and play, and go out with them. Start soon, start now.” The takeaway message from the event included tips:Know your numbers, Know your body, Exercise, and Take good care of you. Since the American Heart Association began “Go Red for Women” in 2004, nearly one million women have joined the movement, 34 percent fewer women are dying of heart disease each year, 330 fewer women are dying every day, and more than 627,000 women’s lives have been saved. For 15 years, the Holzer Cardiovascular Institute has provided the region with the highest level of heart services available. The Holzer Cardiovascular Institute has assembled a staff of the region’s most qualified cardiac health care professionals.

Former students return to BHCC for Mentor Week Staff report RIO GRANDE — In honor of Vocational Education week, the diversified health occupations class hosted Mentor Week. The DHO class invited area nurses and nurse assistants who claim that the Buckeye Hills Career Center’s Diversified Health Occupation Program has accelerated their chosen career by giving an excellent foundation in terms of experience and knowledge. Previous students returned to speak to the current students. “These professionals who have now excelled in their careers once sat in chairs exactly where the students are now sitting,” said instructor Rebecca Stump. “These former students gave us inspiration in terms of what is possible in the health care career fields,” student Cheyenne Arthur said. “I know this is going to be hard, but I know if I put my mind to it, I can do it, just like they have done.” The Diversified Health Occupations Class teaches high school students skills in areas of Ohio State Tested Nurse Assistant and American Red Cross certification in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, first aid, asthma, epi-pen, oxygen therapy and blood borne pathogens.

GALLIPOLIS — The Rev. and Mrs. Charles Curry, of Gallipolis, will celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary on Saturday, March 14. The marriage ceremony took place at Mrs. (Beckett) Curry’s home in her mother’s rose garden on a beautiful day at Peach Creek, Logan County, W.Va., on March 14, 1948. The Rev. and Mrs. Curry have three children: Sheila (Paul) Turn, of Union Furnace, Ohio, Randall Curry, of Charleston, W.Va., and Larry Curry, of Jacksonville, Fla. The Rev. Curry was ordained to preach in 1960. He has preached and pastored churches in Ohio and West Virginia, and organized Faith Freewill Baptist Church in Logan, Ohio. The Currys said that, after 67 years, they would do it all over again “for God has blessed us in many ways.” The Rev. Curry said he plans to continue to preach the true word of God. BOSTON — Bill Cosby’s lawyers asked a federal judge on Friday to throw out a defamation lawsuit filed by three women accusing the comedian of decades-old sexual offenses. The women, all of whom have stepped forward in recent years, say Cosby’s representatives publicly branded them as liars while trying to defend his innocence. But Cosby’s lawyers say the actor was merely acting in self-defense as his character was under attack. “The law does not require that one stand idly by while he is publicly attacked,” the lawyers argue in their 38-page filing. “Instead the law entitles an individual who is accused of serious wrongdoing to rebut the allegations without facing defamation claims.” Joseph Cammarata, a lawyer for the three accusers, said his clients disagree with that position. “We believe that the law provides that when you make a public statement about an individual, it must be truthful,” he said. “We look forward to an opportunity to have the truth tried by a jury who can ultimately determine which of the parties was being truthful.” Cosby’s lawyers say their client denies all of the allegations of sexual misconduct. Cosby, who starred as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the beloved sitcom “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992, hasn’t been charged with any crime. At least 15 women have stepped forward in recent years to level various assault accusations. Tamara Green, a California lawyer, says Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in her Los Angeles-area apartment in the early 1970s. Notre Dame president credited for transforming school dies a school known almost as much for academics as for football, even if it meant SOUTH BEND, Ind. — challenging popes, presiThe Rev. Theodore Hesdents or legendary football burgh transformed the Uni- coaches. And he did it while versity of Notre Dame into Associated Press championing human rights around the globe, from civil rights close to home — he joined hands with Martin Luther King Jr. at a 1964 rally and opened campus doors to women — to supporting Third World development. The work often took him far from campus, where the joke became that while God was everywhere, Hes- burgh was everywhere but Notre Dame. But Hesburgh, who died late Thursday at age 97, spent enough time on campus while at the helm from 1952 to 1987 to 60565446 By Tom Coyne build Notre Dame into an academic power. He was featured on the cover of Time magazine a decade into his tenure for an article describing him as the most influential figure in the reshaping of Catholic education, and he was awarded 150 honorary degrees. During his tenure, student enrollment spiked and the school’s endowment grew from $9 million to $350 million. The charming and personable priest found as much ease meeting with heads of state as he did with students. His aim was constant: Better people’s lives. “I go back to an old Latin motto, opus justitiae pax: Peace is the work of justice,” Hesburgh said in a 2001 interview. “We’ve known 20 percent of the people in the world have 80 percent of the goodies, which means the other 80 percent have to scrape by on 20 percent.” Hesburgh died late Thursday night on the school’s campus in South Bend. Hesburgh had lost his sight and had been slowing down, yet he still celebrated Mass daily and showed up at his campus office every day until last week, said the Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame’s current president. “We knew when he wasn’t going to the office, that was a sign,” Jenkins said. In a letter Friday to the student newspaper, President Jimmy Carter recalled his 40-year friendship with Hesburgh, saying he devoted his life to serving humanity and taking courageous stands. “Father Hesburgh has made the world a better place — for those of us whose lives he has touched directly and as an inspiration for generations to come,” Carter wrote. Hesburgh’s goal coming out of seminary was to be a Navy chaplain during World War II, but he was sent to Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., to pursue a doctorate. He then returned to Notre Dame, where he became head of the theology department, then executive vice president. He was named president at age 35 in 1952. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
