Miles, a veteran of the American Civil War, and a survivor of Andersonville, was honored with a grave marking ceremony earlier this month at South Bethel Community Church Cemetery in Reedsville. Miles was born in Athens County, Ohio in 1842, and enlisted in the Union Army in July 1861. He joined the 30th Ohio Valley Infantry Company C when it was formed in August of the same year. Company C participated in numerous battles, including the Atlanta Campaign, where Miles was captured by Confederate forces. He and fellow prisoners of war were taken to Ft. Sumter, also known as Andersonville, a stockade in Georgia built to hold Union Army prisoners captured by Confederate soldiers. Miles spent the remainder of the war in the camp. With the surrender of the Confederacy in 1865, he was reunited with the Union Army and discharged in June, 1865. The remarking of Miles’ gravesite came as a result of research done by Brian Ash. While compiling a history of his great great grandfather William Franklin Townsend, who had served with the 30th Ohio Company C, he came across memoirs written by Townsend himself. The memoirs were published in series of articles in “The Leader,” a newspaper published in Pomeroy, Ohio from 1895 to 1918, in a section of the paper called “The Campfire.” The articles are now online at the Ohio University Library in Athens, Ohio. Through his research, Ash came across a story of his Townsend’s time in Andersville, where he mentions Loren Miles. Townsend recounts their camaraderie and survival in the horrific conditions of the prison, and their assistance from a man Townsend later suggests was an angel, since there were no records that a person bearing his name was ever at the Andersonville stockade. The story was retold by Ash in a presentation during Miles’ rededication ceremony. “I have always had an interest in history,” Ash said. “When I began researching my great great grandfather, I found more than I could ever have expected. What I discovered are memories in the form of words.” He said he was very moved when reading the words, it was as if his great great grandfather was speaking with him. “It was amazing to find these memories so well documented and preserved. They came from someone’s first hand experience with the Civil War and being a prisoner at Andersonville, words cannot express their importance, not only to me, but to others.” Ash said they tell a story that only someone who has lived through the experience could do.

Investigators reportedly found that a deer-meat processing operation known as A&E Deer Processing and associates allegedly “poached 30 Ohio white-tailed deer and skimmed more than 700 pounds of meat from deer that hunters paid to have processed by the business,” stated the release. In addition, the news release also alleges, “A&E Deer Processing then sold the stolen meat for a profit.” See POACHING | 10 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio governments would be prohibited from stopping sales of guns or ammunition during a public emergency, under legislation approved by the GOP-controlled Senate Wednesday. The bill is one of several General Assembly proposals meant to restrict governments’ powers as they relate to emergency orders issued during the coronavirus pandemic as well as concerns raised by Republican lawmakers about the racial injustice and police brutality protests in the summer of 2020. The measure says the law would be in effect during a declared emergency as authorities suppress “a riot, mob, or potential riot or mob.” The Senate Veterans and Public Safety Committee passed the bill earlier this month. The legislation doesn’t add gun rights but merely protects existing ones, said bill sponsor Sen. Tim Schaffer, a Lancaster Republican. He noted that Ohio’s stay-at-home pandemic orders closing businesses did not include gun stores, but said orders in other states did, including Michigan. Sen. Cecil Thomas, a Cincinnati Democrat and former police officer, expressed concerns about the bill’s potential for eroding local municipalities’ home rule authority. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, October 22, 2021 THOMAS OBITUARIES ANITA K.

By this time, Loren Miles and his friend Billy Townsend had formed a bond to survive a place where men were treated worse than animals. When the train reached Florence South Carolina during the first week of October 1864, the POWs were hurried off but were not met with a prisoner exchange. Instead, they were moved into a newly constructed stockade that was nothing more than a mini copy of Andersonville, with an even more cruel and brutal commandant. Realizing if they were going to survive the coming winter, some sort of shelter must be built. The two men began the scrabble for sticks and pine boughs. They formed a dugout and used mud in the construction of a crude shelter. God’s Word tells us that we are to show hospitality to strangers because we could be in the presence of angels and not even be aware of it. One night during the winter of 1864, a Friday, October 22, 2021 3 stranger seeking shelter showed up at the hut of Loren and Billy. He introduced himself as Willis Burrell of the 3rd Ohio Valley Infantry. Willis informed them he was sent up from the Charleston South Carolina prison and given the task of patrolling the grounds and sending those in worst condition to the makeshift prison hospital. Billy states in his memoirs, “We gave him a place.” As time went on, the health of Loren and Billy deteriorated. Weekend by malnutrition, their joints swollen by the ravages of scurvy, both men were now in serious condition. While on patrol one morning, their friend Willis stopped by to visit. Union his arrival he found both men very will with one being unable to walk. Using the help of others nearby, the men were carried to the prison hospital. With the aid of increased rations, tea made from herbs, and now resting in a bed, their condition improved. Billy Townsend credits Willis for saving their lives. There is something interesting I want to point out about Willis Burrell. While searching the roster of the 3rd Ohio Valley Infantry, his name does not appear. I have considered the circumstances and have had confirmation concerning this. I am convinced that Willis Burrell of the 3rd Ohio Infantry was an angel. Just weeks before the fall of the Confederacy and the surrender of Robert E. Lee, the prisons of the Florence stockade were loaded once again on rail cars and transferred to Goldsboro North Carolina. The men were informed as they disembarked the train that they would now be paroled. The guards were removed. They were advised however not to escape. Parole records were to be signed before the men could be returned to the Union army. It would take several days for this to be completed. Loren and Billy took liberty to walk into the nearby countryside to search for some better clothing since they were now wearing was threadbare and ragged. During their search, Billy tells us in his memoirs, “We met some black people who gave us cotton garments and a cows horn full of softsoap. They fed us corn dodgers and meat. They showed us a brook where we could bathe. We used the soft soap and sand to remove the layers of dirt from out skin. We borrowed a pair of shears from the black people and cut our hair closely. We put on the clean cotton garments given to us and went back to camp feeling like new beings.” After spending eight more days in Goldsboro, the parole records were completed. Loren and Billy were sent to Wilmington, North Carolina to be reunited with the Union army. Soon they were put on a ship that took them to Annapolis, Maryland. From there they traveled by train to Todd Barracks in Columbus Ohio on April 5th, 1865. Loren Miles was discharged from the Union army on June 15th 1865 and Billy Townsend on June 20th, 1865.

The Golden Bears, who defeated the RedStorm for the third time in as many meetings this season, moved to 11-14 overall and 7-4 in league play with the victory. Rio Grande, which had a two-game win streak snapped, slipped to 7-12 overall and 5-6 in league play with the loss. Head coach Billina Donaldson’s squad also stayed winless on the road, dropping to 0-7. Rio’s only lead in the opening set came at 2-1, although the RedStorm stayed close throughout and pulled to within 24-23 following a kill by sophomore Shalea Byrd (Canal Winchester, OH) to cap a 3-0 spurt. WVU-Tech sealed the set victory, though, with a kill by Ariana Gentzler on the enusing serve. Rio Grande rebounded in the second stanza, leading from start to finish thanks to a .423 attack percentage (14 kills, 3 errors, 26 attacks), but the Golden Bears gathered themselves and rebounded over each of the next two stanzas. The Golden Bears led just 14-13 in set three following a kill by Rio sophomore Amanda Rarick (Canal Winchester, OH), but Tech took control by scoring the next six winners and 11 of the final 15 points. Rio had a 9-8 lead in set four until a 7-1 WVUTech run put the hosts in front for good. The RedStorm thrice sliced the deficit to two points, including 22-20, but consecutive kills by the Golden Bears’ Coralys Maldonado Rivera and a Rio attack error sealed the match win for Tech. Ana Muniz Rocandio had a match-best 18 kills to go along with 13 digs for WVU-Tech, while Gentzler finished with 16 kills of her own and Julia McClanahan had 45 assists. Valentina Abondano added a match-best 18 digs foe the Golden Bears. Rarick and Byrd paced Rio Grande up front with 15 and 14 kills, respectively, while junior Jess Youse (Pettisville, OH) finished with 13 kills. Freshman Avery Huntzinger (Canal Winchester, OH) had a team-high 44 assists and 14 digs in a losing cause, while sophomore Darcie Walters (Sparta, OH) had 13 digs of her own for the RedStorm, who actually had a better swing percentage for the match (.240) than the Golden Bears (.229). Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Friday night when it opens a three-game homestand — the final three home contests of the season — against St. Mary-of-the-Woods College. First serve is set for 7 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

Akron-based FirstEnergy’s friend on the inside in early 2020 was Sam Randazzo, chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Randazzo resigned last November after an FBI search of his home and revelations that top FirstEnergy executives had approved paying him $4.3 million, weeks before his appointment as Ohio’s top utility regulator in 2019. The March 2020 texts between the two executives — who have since been fired — represent a new peek into the specifics of what Randazzo did on the company’s behalf. CEO Chuck Jones and senior vice president Dennis Chack said Randazzo’s help included “over ruling” utilities commission staff and commissioners on a revenue guarantee in a nowtainted 2019 energy bill. Randazzo also helped with “burning” an updated audit report on FirstEnergy charging its customers $456 million — charges later deemed improper by the state Supreme Court. The customer charges were intended for grid modernization, but instead, FirstEnergy used the money to create a lending pool that its subsidiary electric companies, including those outside Ohio, could draw from. “He (Randazzo) will get it done for us but cannot just jettison all process.” Jones texted Chack, adding that Randazzo’s help had led to “a lot of talk going on in the halls of PUCO about does he work there or for us?” About five months later, federal authorities accused FirstEnergy of secretly funding an elaborate $60 million bribery scheme to elect a new Ohio House speaker. The company hoped the new speaker would pass legislation bailing out two nuclear plants operated at the time by a wholly-owned FirstEnergy subsidiary, and then quash a ballot effort to repeal the law. The text exchange was obtained the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel Bruce Weston in a subpoena issued to the utilities commission for investigative documents concerning FirstEnergy and the bribery scandal. “We are pursuing justice for FirstEnergy consumers at the PUCO, where there has not been enough of it,” Weston said in a statement Thursday. FirstEnergy signed a deferred prosecution agreement in July that called for the company to pay $230 million in penalties and abide by a long list of reform measures to avoid criminal charges. The company, in a statement attached to the agreement, described its role in the bribery scheme and how the company benefited from Randazzo’s help. Randazzo has not been criminally charged and has denied wrongdoing. A message seeking comment from his attorney was not immediately returned. Ties between passage of the nuclear bailout bill and FirstEnergy’s bribery efforts were first laid bare in July 2020, when federal authorities arrested then-House Speaker Larry Householder and four others on conspiracy charges. Householder has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial.

Ohio Valley Publishing Haiti gang leader threatens to kill kidnapped missionaries PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The leader of the 400 Mawozo gang that police say is holding 17 members of a kidnapped missionary group is seen in a video released Thursday saying he will kill them if he doesn’t get what he’s demanding. The video posted on social media shows Wilson Joseph dressed in a blue suit, carrying a blue hat and wearing a large cross around his neck. “I swear by thunder that if I don’t get what I’m asking for, I will put a bullet in the heads of these Americans,” he said in the video. He also threatened Prime Minister Ariel Henry and the chief of Haiti’s National Police, Léon Charles, as he spoke in front of the open coffins that apparently held several members of his gang who were recently killed. “You guys make me cry. I cry water. But I’m going to make you guys cry blood,” he said. Earlier this week, authorities said that the gang was demanding $1 million per person, although it wasn’t immediately clear that included the five children in the group, among them an 8-month-old. Sixteen Americans and one Canadian were abducted, along with their Haitian driver. The missionaries are with Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries, which held a news conference before someone posted the video of the gang leader. Weston Showalter, spokesman for the religious group, said that the families of those who’d been kidnapped are from Amish, Mennonite and other conservative Anabaptist communities in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Ontario, Canada. He read a letter from the families, who weren’t identified by name, in which they said, “God has given our loved ones the unique opportunity to live out our Lord’s command to love your enemies.” The group invited people to join them in prayer for the kidnappers as well as those kidnapped and expressed gratitude for help from “people that are knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with” such situations. “Pray for these families,” Showalter said. “They are in a difficult spot.” The same day that the missionaries were kidnapped, a gang also abducted a Haiti university professor, according to a statement that Haiti’s ombudsman-like Office of Citizen Protection issued on Tuesday. It also noted that a Haitian pastor abducted earlier this month has not been released despite a ransom being paid. “The criminals … operate with complete impunity, attacking all members of society,” the organization said. Meanwhile, hundreds of demonstrators blocked roads and burned tires in Haiti’s capital to decry a severe fuel shortage and a spike in insecurity and to demand that the prime minister step down. The scattered protest took place across the Delmas neighborhood of Port-au-Prince. In addition to kidnappings, the gangs also are blamed for blocking gas distribution terminals and hijacking supply trucks, which officials say has led to a shortage of fuel. Many gas stations now remain closed for days at a time, and the lack of fuel is so dire that the CEO of Digicel Haiti announced on Tuesday that 150 of its 1,500 branches countrywide are out of diesel. “Nothing works!” complained Davidson Meiuce, who joined Thursday’s protest. “We are suffering a lot.” Some protestors held up signs including one that read, “Down with the high cost of living.” Demonstrators clashed with police in some areas, with officers firing tear gas that mixed with the heavy black smoke rising from burning tires that served as barricades. Alexandre Simon, a 34-year-old English and French teacher, said he and others are protesting because Haitians are facing such dire situations. “There are a lot of people who cannot eat,” he said. “There is no work … There are a lot of things we don’t have.” The above described contains 0.207 acres more or less including the present road which occupies 0.207 acres and is contained in Auditor's parcel Number N/A which presently contains N/A acres.

Literally billions upon billions of dollars are gambled away every-year in this country, often with the direct encouragement of the state, which is a full-fledged participant in all too many cases. To get some idea of the scope of the issue, New Jersey recently bragged that they had received over a billion dollars worth of sport-related bets in one single month. While this makes them the largest receiver of sports-bets in the country, several other states reportedly are eager to compete. Nor is it solely the province of the states. Anytime a small group wants to raise money, nearly the first suggestion latched onto is the holding of a raffle, allowing people to gamble away their money so as to create profit for the charity. Throughout the years, gospel preachers have routinely pointed out that material gambling, defined as two or more parties putting up material stakes with the winner taking those stakes based on the outcome of some random or semi-random event, is sinful and that ily the enriching faithful Christians of self, but an who care about increase in the doing right should capability of doing not participate. good for others.

Gambling is antithetical to the heart of faith which God desires in His people. God wants us to believe that He will reward us, and He desires for us to seek for that reward from Him (cf. Hebrews 11:6) not from some other. “All your commandments are sure (Psalm 119.86),” the Psalmist declares of God’s word. God can be relied upon by His children to provide what is necessary (cf. Matthew 7:11). Moreover, when we obey God’s word, we can expect blessings to follow. Granted, reaping these benefits requires effort on our part in the form of obedience but it is the slothful who prefer the dream of good things happening apart from effort. God who promised is faithful (cf. Hebrews 10:23), and God teaches that we will reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7). If we will trust God, and obey God, we will “win” ever so much more than we ever could from any lottery, but we have to have the faith which trusts God, rather than that seeking to find a shortcut to happiness.

Ed Eddy was for a brief time a member of the second church I pastored right before I moved to the Willow Island Baptist Church. He and his wife were very good members. The thing I remember most about Ed was that he was the quickest wit I have ever known. He would respond with the wittiest responses without having to give much thought to what he heard anyone else say. And, usually, it was hilarious. Once, when he was in the hospital awaiting surgery, he told me the following account during my visit with him. In a certain church he attended, he noticed that, whenever he was around a certain lady, how she would look curiously at his legs. This went on for a long time. Finally, she asked the question that she had long wanted to ask, “Ed, do you have a wooden leg?” That was why she kept eye-balling his legs when she was around him. She had heard from someone that Ed had had one of his legs amputated, and that it had been replaced with a wooden peg leg. She was trying to make the determination if he had a wooden leg or not without asking such a personal question. Ed said quickly, “No, but my daddy has a cedar chest!” Wow! You have to admit that that was an impressive and witty off-the-cuff response. had been conIt caused me to fronted by one we laugh. refer to as the rich So, as I have young ruler.

Giving thanks to those in our church I know you all remember that Halloween is in October, but October is also designated as “Pastor Appreciation Month.” Many churches around the country take this time to thank not only their minister(s) for all the hard work, caring concern, leadership, studying, and teaching on their behalf, but also the church staff, Sunday School teachers, choir, choir director, organist, and pianist - anyone who works in the church really. Have you ever thought about how different your church would be without all these people working together to worship Christ by preparing, preaching, teaching, cleaning, singing, or playing? They all work with each God’s Kids other to help us learn about God Korner and His Kingdom and worship Him Ann together in many different ways. Moody They all love the Lord so much that they want to share that love with us by working for Him in His church and helping us to learn how to be good Christians. God has entrusted each of these people with special skills, assignments, and talents, so as to lead His flocks closer to Him. We believe that the concept of clergy appreciation started with the Apostle Paul as he was establishing the first Christian churches. In 1 Timothy, he wrote, “The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching” (1 Tim. 5:17). And, in 1 Thessalonians, he said, “Respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work” (1 Thess. 5:12-13). Accordingly, over the centuries, decades and years, pastors and staffs have been recognized and honored, either formally or informally, by many denominations and local churches at various times of the year. Focus on the Family Group named and began emphasizing Clergy Appreciation Month in 1994, reminding congregations that it was biblical and proper to honor their pastoral staffs throughout the year, but suggesting that they set aside the month of October for a special tribute. How can you as children honor those who help us in church each Sunday? The best ways are the simplest and most straight-forward. Tell them thank you and give them a hug or handshake. Draw them a picture of how they have helped you by what they do. Give them a small token of your appreciation such as a card you made, a pretty rock you found, a flower or plant, even some candy or cookies are all good ideas. The important thing is to let all these people know just how they are helping and influencing you and others by their work and dedication to God’s Kingdom here on earth. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Lord, You told us to worship You together in communities of faith so as to support and help each other. You also gave ministers and leaders special gifts to do those tasks that need to be done in the church. Thank You for all those people. Please help them to realize just how important they are to our living the Christian life and bless them as they do Your work. In Your holy name, Amen.

This is what cancer does, it fills the “survived by” with the missed memories…the “missed” in general. It fills them with questions of “why?” They wonder “why did my loved one not make it?” The only way I make sense of that one is that our human brains, and hearts, can’t handle the answers. It’s like trying to explain Shakespeare to a dog. No matter how smart that pooch is, all they hear is the noise the words make, not the meaning. Or, maybe, it’s simply an intense lesson in accepting what we cannot change. What doesn’t change are the memories of the “survived by.” I believe, over time, that lost loved one’s function in our lives may be replaced by other people without replacing the actual loved one themselves. For example, I have multiple maternal figures in my life but no one could replace my mom’s sense of humor; her love of little dogs in sweaters and three-legged cats; her cassette tapes scattered inside her car…John Lennon here, James Taylor there. She was a person who was often asked where items were located at in retail stores by random strangers, not because she worked there but because she had an approachability that can’t be faked. Her ability to take life in stride will never be undone or untangled in my memory. She made every attempt to not let cancer take away the habits that made her happy; to maintain the routines that made up life as she knew it “before.” I remember she would have her chemotherapy treatments and afterward, leave the doctor’s office and go to a mall to be distracted, or maybe to search for something to feel better about. She never really clarified that for me but I also never asked. So many things I wish I’d asked. During a recent health issue of my own, I remarked to my mother’s longtime, childhood friend, Mary Jane Getty, that I didn’t know how mom dealt with being so sick for so long. Mary Jane said she’d asked her that very question once, and her reply was “I just look past it.” In that moment, during my own struggle, it felt like my mother was there with me, telling me to look past the present moment and know a better day is possible and inevitable. After all, nothing is forever, including the bad and the pendulum always swings back. This is what all survivors teach us. They teach us to “look past it” no matter what that “it” is in life. The “survived by” eventually learn this and it’s up to them to help carry the torch “past it” and to one day, find that cure. Beth Sergent is the editor of Ohio Valley Publishing. Holzer recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — Each year, individuals all over the world show support for those affected by breast cancer. Numerous organizations come together to bring awareness to research, information, and education of the importance of caring for our breast health. “Mammograms are important,” shared Amity Wamsley, RN, clinical coordinator, Holzer Center for Cancer Care. “During the pandemic, we have seen that our community members have let some of the annual exams slip as we deal with other health demands. However, we want to stress that it is very important to keep your regular exams and have the annual tests to maintain the best health possible. Early detection is key when it comes to cancer treatment.” Annual mammograms are recommended for every woman that is age 40 or older. However, if there is a family history of breast cancer, special considerations will be made with those patients. If an individual needs a mammogram appointment, scheduling can be made by calling 1-855-4-HOLZER or through our patient portal, MyHolzer. “We want to encourage monthly self-exams as well,” continued Wamsley. “Holzer Center for Cancer Care offers several resource materials if individuals are in need of information. We encourage people to stop by and we can share materials and information for anyone that has any questions.” As stated by the American Cancer Society, it is important to know how your breasts normally look and feel. You should be aware of any changes and know the signs and symptoms to look for. The most common symptom is a new lump or mass. A painless, hard mass that has irregular edges is more likely to be cancer, but breast cancers can also be tender, soft, or round. They can even be painful. For these reasons, it is important to have any new mass, lump, or breast change checked by an experienced health care professional. Other symptoms include: swelling of all or part of the breast, skin dimpling, breast or nipple pain, nipple retractions, nipple or breast skin that is red, dry, flaking or thickened, nipple discharge (other than breast milk), and swollen lymph nodes. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will be diagnosed breast cancer at some point. The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. If you are a woman age 40, talk with your doctor about starting your annual screening mammograms. It is important to discuss your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms. Mammograms are provided at Holzer locations in Athens, Gallipolis, Jackson, and Pomeroy, Ohio. For more information or to schedule your mammogram, call 1-855-4-HOLZER or visit www.holzer.org. Courtesy of Holzer Amity Wamsley, RN, is clinical coordinator, Holzer Center for Cancer Care.

As the only hospital in the area to offer three dimensional (3D mammography), Pleasant Valley Hospital offers technology that delivers clearer pictures, making it easier to catch breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. 3D mammography produces a threedimensional view of the breast tissue that helps radiologists identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 3D mammography can increase detection of invasive breast cancers by up to 40 percent (over traditional 2D mammography). “Our new 3D mammography system offers exceptionally sharp images, an ergonomic design for better patient comfort, and the ability to screen all breast types,” said Suresh Agrawal, M.D, radiologist. “It’s especially helpful for screening dense breasts, since the tissue can be viewed in paper-thin slices.” During a 3D mammography exam, multiple, low-dose images of the breast are acquired at different angles. These Photos courtesy of PVH Pleasant Valley Hospital offers three dimensional mammography. images are then used to produce a series of 1-millimeter (1/32 of an inch) sections that can be viewed as a 3D reconstruction of the breast. “Breast cancer screening with 3D mammography enhances visibility, which can decrease the need for additional images and reduce ‘call backs’ and anxiety over false alarms,” Dr. Agrawal said. The breast 3D mammography screening experience is similar to a traditional mammogram. No additional breast compression is required, and it only takes a few more seconds to capture the 3D images compared to the standard 2D images. “Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer,” said Sam Badran, M.D., a gynecologist/surgical gynecologist at Pleasant Valley Hospital. “Statistics indicate that one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. The stage at which breast cancer is detected influences a woman’s chance of survival.” For women of average risk, the American College of Radiology recommends annual mammograms starting at age 40, with no upper age limit as long as the woman is in good health. Women at a higher risk for developing breast cancer may be advised to begin having mammograms at an earlier age. Different guidelines apply to women at higher risk. * “By offering women the most advanced and accurate technology in mammography, Pleasant Valley Hospital expects to increase the number of women in Mason County and the surrounding community who will be Dr. Sam Badran, M.D., is a gynecologist/surgical gynecologist at routinely screened as well Pleasant Valley Hospital. as the number of lives that will be saved,” Dr. Badran said. Ask your doctor if breast 3D mammography is right for you. An order from a physician is not required, but the patient must provide a physician/ provider name when an appointment is made. All mammogram reports will be sent to the physician/ provider. Pleasant Valley Hospital offers breast imaging services including 3D Mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and stereotactic breast biopsy.

However, in certain situations, doctors may feel that the existing standard for breast cancer treatment may not be enough to help women overcome their disease. In such instances, doctors may discuss clinical trials with women battling breast cancer. The American Cancer Society defines clinical trials as research studies in which people volunteer to help doctors find ways to prevent or treat disease. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® points out that all current standards B of treatment began as clinical trials. However, that does not mean women diagnosed with breast cancer should automatically sign up to participate in clinical trials. There are pros and cons to participating in clinical trials, and breast cancer patients can speak with their medical teams about the advantages and disadvantages of each trial they’re considering. One myth worth dispelling is that clinical trials are only an option for people who have been diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. In fact, the NCI notes that clinical trials are available for all stages of cancer.

Five-year survival rates for breast cancer have increased dramatically in recent decades, and much of that success can be credited to cancer researchers and campaigns designed to inform women about the importance of screenings. Breast cancer is highly treatable, but treatment typically leads to some unwanted side effects. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, women undergoing treatment for breast cancer may experience a host of side effects, including fatigue, pain, headaches, and dental issues. Cancer treatments, most notably chemotherapy, also can take a toll on women’s immune systems. T Why does chemotherapy affect the immune system? Cancer is caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in the body. According to Breastcancer.org, chemotherapy targets these abnormal cells, but also can affect fastgrowing cells that are healthy and normal. So chemotherapy can damage cells throughout the body, including those in bone marrow. When bone marrow is damaged, it’s less capable of producing sufficient red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Breastcancer.org notes that the body is more vulnerable to infection when it does not have enough white blood cells. Does chemotherapy always weaken the immune system? The effects of chemotherapy on the immune system depend on various factors. According to Breastcancer.org, a patient’s age and overall health may influence the effects of chemotherapy on their immune systems. Young, healthy patients may be less vulnerable to infections from weakened immune systems than aging, less healthy patients. However, Susan G. Komen notes that the median age for breast cancer diagnosis in the United States is 63, so many patients are likely to be affected by the impact that treatment can have on their immune systems. The length of treatment and amount of medicines patients receive also can affect the impact of chemotherapy on patients’ immune systems. Breastcancer. org notes that being administered two or more chemotherapy medicines at once is more likely to affect the immune system than just one medication. Other treatments Chemotherapy is not the only treatment that can affect breast cancer patients’ immune systems. The Cancer Treatment Centers of America® notes that surgery, radiation, CAR T-cell therapy, stem cell transplants, and even immunotherapy can affect the immune system. Surgery can overtax the immune system and compromise its ability to prevent infections and heal wounds caused by the procedure. Like chemotherapy, radiation therapy can damage healthy cells and lead to an increased risk of infection. And while immunotherapy is designed to boost the immune system by helping it recognize and attack cells more effectively, it also can lead to an overactive immune system that attacks healthy cells. Cancer treatment is often highly effective. However, patients may need to work with their physicians to combat treatment side effects that can adversely affect their immune systems. Friday, October 22, 2021 3 Did you know? A ccording to the American Cancer Society, cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment are generally urged to avoid vaccinations other than the flu shot, though that conventional wisdom may not be applicable in relation to the COVID-19 virus. The ACS notes that vaccines require an immune system response to work effectively, and cancer patients’ immune systems may not be able to produce an adequate response to vaccines during treatment. That can make vaccines, including those for COVID-19, less effective. However, while traditionally cancer patients have been urged to avoid vaccinations during treatment, the ACS notes that cancer patients, due to fragile immune systems resulting from both their disease and the treatments for it, are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease. As a result, doctors may still advise their patients to receive the COVID-19 vaccination even during treatment, as having some measure of protection against the virus may still be better than having none at all. No two cancer patients are the same, so those concerned about COVID-19 and the vaccinations against it are urged to discuss those concerns and their options with their cancer care team. David R.

That’s especially so in the rare instances when women under 40 are diagnosed with the disease. According to the American Cancer Society, it’s uncommon for women under 40 to receive a breast cancer diagnosis. In fact, data from the ACS indicates that only about 4 percent of all women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are under age 40. But 4 percent is nothing to brush aside, especially when the ACS estimates that more than 300,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. That means roughly 12,000 women under 40 in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and many of those women will understandably express concerns about cancer recurrence in the years to come. The medical experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine note that learning to cope with fears of breast cancer recurrence is an important part of the recovery process. Those same experts note that A various lifestyle changes can help women regain their health, strength and optimism and quell any fears they have about cancer recurrence. š�Take care of yourself, both emotionally and physically. Johns Hopkins Medicine urges breast cancer survivors to put their own needs first sometimes. That can be difficult for younger breast cancer survivors with children at home, but prioritizing their own emotional well-being can help women overcome their fears of recurrence. Support groups can connect women with fellow breast cancer survivors, and women should not hesitate to discuss any fears or concerns with their doctors. It’s also vital that women prioritize their physical well-being. Routine exercise and a healthy diet can help women reduce stress and maintain a healthy weight, which can reduce risk for recurrence. š�Stay on top of screenings and vaccinations. Another way to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence is to stay up-to-date on screenings, flu shots and vaccinations. Annual physicals and screenings for cardiovascular conditions like high cholesterol and diabetes can help women stay on a healthy path forward. š�Monitor vitamin D levels. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that the Nurses Health Study found a link between low levels of vitamin D and breast cancer incidence. It remains unknown if vitamin D supplements can lower risk of breast cancer recurrence, but maintaining sufficient levels of vitamin D can promote overall health. Women can speak with their physicians about Staying current with screenings and vaccinations can help breast cancer survivors reduce their risk for recurrence. vitamin D and which supplements to consider. In addition, spending 20 minutes per day in the sunshine while wearing sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 can help women reach recommended levels of vitamin D. Cancer recurrence is a significant concern for survivors. However, various strategies can help women reduce their risk for recurrence and help them regain their optimism for the future. How physical activity can help in the fight against breast cancer activity helps women reduce their risk for breast cancer. The ACS notes that more than one study has linked sitting time to a higher risk of various diseases, including breast Body weight and breast cancer The National Cancer Institute cancer.

OH-70257351 Breast cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of women across the globe each year. Though the American Cancer Society reports that only about 4 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are under age 40, women of all ages can take steps to protect themselves against this deadly disease. Exercise benefits women in myriad ways, and that includes lowering their risk for breast cancer. The ACS notes that researchers are increasingly linking exercise to a reduced risk for breast cancer. Though the reasons behind that link remain unclear, some theorize that the positive effects of exercise on body weight, inflammation, hormones, and energy balance could be why regular physical �BREAST CANCER AWARENESS 2021 6 Friday, October 22, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Support groups and resources for breast cancer patients A strong support network can help breast cancer patients navigate their treatments and all of the uncertainty that can arise after a cancer diagnosis. Many women undergoing treatment for breast cancer lean on friends and family for everything from emotional support to help with household tasks and much more. Though family and friends are often invaluable to women during their battles with breast cancer, sometimes a little support from women going through the same ups and downs can be just what patients need to stay the course and overcome their disease. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the globe. The WCRF estimates that breast cancer accounts for roughly 25 percent of all cancers in women. The World Health Organization reports that 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. Those figures are significant, but it’s important that women recognize that five-year survival rates have improved dramatically in recent decades. In fact, the American Cancer Society notes that the five-year survival rate for localized breast cancers is 99 percent, while the rate for breast cancers that has spread outside the breast to nearby structures or lymph nodes is 86 percent. Rising survival rates for breast cancer mean that millions of women across the globe have already survived the disease, and many such women play vital roles in support groups that help women every day. CancerCare® is a national organization in the United States that is dedicated to providing free, professional support services to anyone affected by cancer.

The Canadian Cancer Society has a database that cancer patients in Canada can use to find local support services in their area. That can be accessed via the CCS Community Services Locator at www.csl.cancer.ca. Support groups can be invaluable resources for women as they navigate breast cancer treatment. Did you know? hough most breast cancer survivors don’t get cancer again, the American Cancer Society notes that they are at higher risk for getting some types of cancer. According to the ACS, the most common second cancer in breast cancer survivors is another breast cancer. That only underscores the importance of continuing to get screened even after successful T treatment. In addition to a second breast cancer, breast cancer survivors have a greater risk of developing salivary gland cancer, cancer of the esophagus, stomach cancer, colon cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. The risk for thyroid cancer, sarcoma, melanoma of the skin, and acute myeloid leukemia also is greater after successful treatment for cancer. The road to recovery continues after cancer treatment ends he American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rate for all cancers combined that were diagnosed between 2009 and 2015 was 67 percent. That’s a noteworthy and encouraging statistic, though global figures compiled by Ourworldindata.org indicate that five-year survival rates following diagnosis are significantly lower in poorer countries. In addition, the road to recovery for cancer patients typically does not end when treatments T Telephone: 749.992.4100 Call or Text Text is Best! are completed. The National Cancer Institute notes that many cancer survivors have indicated that information and support was abundant during their treatment. However, once treatment stopped, a new wave of questions and uncertainty soon emerged. For example, the NCI points out that many cancer survivors recognize that life after treatment is less about “getting back to normal” than it is about discovering the new normal. In fact, the Memorial Fax: 800.992.4055 Sloan Ketting Cancer Center reports that most people indicate it takes between six and 12 months after they complete chemotherapy before they truly feel like themselves again. Follow-up care also is a vital part of recovering from cancer. The NCI notes that cancer survivors typically return to the doctor every three to four months during the first two to three years after treatment. After that, survivors may see their doctors once or twice a year. Follow-up care is vital for cancer survivors, as it provides their doctors an opportunity to determine if patients are experiencing any side effects from treatment. These appointments also allow doctors to determine if the cancer has returned or spread to other parts of the body. In addition, follow-up visits provide an opportunity for cancer survivors to bring up any symptoms or questions they might have.

Doctors often employ a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to treat breast cancer, and such an approach may be more likely to be employed if the tumor is large. š�FWj^ebe]o�j[iji0� Pathology is the science of causes and effects of diseases. When treating patients for breast cancer, doctors order pathology tests so they can better understand how the disease is affecting their patients’ bodies. For example, the Cleveland Clinic notes that pathology tests like hormone receptor tests and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/neu) can indicate if hormones or growth factors are helping the cancer grow. The results of these and other pathology tests can then help doctors determine an effective course of treatment. š�F[hiedWb�Y^WhWYj[h_ij_Yi0� Doctors will consider women’s age, general health and family history when mapping a course of treatment. In addition, doctors discuss menopause with women when determining a course of treatment. Breastcancer.org notes that some breast cancer treatments can bring on menopause more abruptly than it would happen otherwise, so doctors will consider women’s history with menopause when determining treatment.
