Remember The Great Blizzard 35 Years Ago Routine Traffic Stop Sends 3 to Jail Manchester Police Department K9 Officer Jason Mallott, was on routine patrol on the evening of Tuesday, January 29 and made a traffic stop on St. Rt. 136 at Brown Hill Rd. for a loud muffler, upon approaching the drivers side door Officer Mallott observed the driver to be Connie Myers, of West Union, (formally of Manchester).

Officer Mallott found that Myers had a Felony warrant through Adams County for Aggravated Drug Possession which occurred in Manchester several months prior. Also in the vehicle was Timothy McKee Sr. and Timothy McKee Jr. Officer Mallott deployed his K9 Elko and upon a search of the exterior of the vehicle Elko detected an odor of a narcotic on the passengers side door.

Officer Mallott then advised the occupants that Elko had indicated on the passen-

ger’s side door. The front seat passenger McKee Jr. then pulled a baggie of Marijuana from inside his pants and the rear passenger McKee Sr. also produced a box of Sudafed.

All three subjects indicated that they were going to trade the Sudafed for Methamphetamine.

After speaking to all occupants it was determined that an individual from Brown County was en-route to West Union possibly with more Methamphetamines.

Officer’s from West Union and the Adams County Sheriff’s Department were able to locate the vehicle and make an arrest on the driver and passenger.

Manchester Police Chief Jeff Bowling would like to thank the Adams County Sheriff’s Department and the West Union Police Department for their assistance.

Rain and fog were widespread across the region during the evening hours of January 25, 1978 with temperatures generally in the 30s and 40s. National Weather Service offices across the Great Lakes and Upper Ohio Valley had issued blizzard warnings for most of the region by late evening on January 25. Early that morning, an arctic airmass pushed into the area with bitter cold temperatures and howling winds. Blizzard conditions arrived in Cincinnati, around 1:00 a.m. and reached Dayton and Columbus within the next couple hours. By 7:00 a.m., the blizzard conditions extended all the way to Cleveland. Visibilities were near zero for much of the day and even into January 27. Temperatures rapidly plunged from the 30s to bitter-cold single digits in just a few hours. Wind gusts averaged 50 to 70 mph for much of the day on the January 26, reaching 69 mph at Dayton and Columbus and 82 mph in Cleveland. An ore carrier stranded in thick ice on Lake Erie just offshore from Sandusky reported sustained winds of 86 mph with gusts to 111 mph that morning! Extremely cold wind chills around minus 50 degrees or lower continued throughout the day, making it especially dangerous to venture outside. While snowfall was difficult to measure due to the strong winds, official storm-total snowfall amounts from January 25-27 ranged from 4.7 inches in Columbus to 6.9 inches in Cincinnati, to 12.9 inches in Dayton. Other areas across the region saw well over a foot of snow from the storm.

The powerful winds and snow caused major complications across the entire region. Widespread wind damage occurred as thousands of trees and many miles of electric/telephone lines were blown down. As a result, hundreds of thousands of homes were left without power and heat, and many important communication lines were disconnected.

Gusty winds also caused numerous other instances of structural damage as well as massive snowdrifts reaching 15 to 25 feet in height. In addition to reaching the rooftops of houses and businesses and causing many roof collapses, these huge drifts brought practically all means of air, rail, and highway transportation to a complete standstill for 24 hours or more. Cars were easily buried and many individuals were left stranded in their vehicles.

Numerous closures of interstates and highways resulted, including Interstate 75 which was closed for three days, a portion of Interstate 475 near Toledo which was shut down for six days, and the entire length of the Ohio Turnpike which was closed for the first time in its history. These prolonged highway closures resulted in food shortages in many areas, and the Red Cross and armed forces stepped in to help distribute food to those in need.

Fortunately, the early morning arrival of this

severe blizzard prompted officials to close nearly all schools on January 26, which prevented children from being stranded at school or on buses. In fact, Ohio schools did not reopen until early the following week. President Carter declared a federal disaster in Ohio on the 26th and in Indiana the following day. Meanwhile, area governors activated the National Guard in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Thousands of men and women on active duty put in many long hours to help clear roadways, restore power, perform emergency rescues and evacuations, deliver food and medicine, and transport medical personnel to hospitals. In many instances, the only means of rescuing individuals with medical emergencies was by helicopter. All across the region, thousands of volunteers with snowmobiles and four-wheel drive vehicles also risked their lives to transport emergency personnel and utility workers and to deliver medical necessities to those in need. Radio stations suspended regular programming to provide storm information and to serve as communication links where other means of communication had failed and highway travel was impossible.

The death toll from this epic winter storm rose to over 70 across the region. This included 5 in Kentucky, 11 in Indiana and 51 in Ohio. Of the Ohio fatalities, 22 were the result of exposure as individuals abandoned their stranded vehicles or homes with no heat. Thirteen individuals died from the cold while trapped inside their vehicles, and another 13 died inside their homes after losing power and heat. Two others died in buildings that collapsed under the weight of heavy snow. Falls and heart-attacks caused by snow shoveling were among the other causes of death across the region.

Fortunately, with so many highways closed, there were no traffic-related deaths in Ohio that weekend. Agricultural losses from the storm totaled around $73 million in Ohio as the result of dead livestock, lost production, property damage, and milk/egg losses. Unable to store or transport milk because of highway closures, farmers were forced to dump the vast majority of milk produced in the days following the blizzard.

To be considered a blizzard, a winter storm must produce sustained winds or frequent gusts greater than 35 mph and be accompanied by falling and/or blowing snow that frequently reduces visibility to less than 1/4 mile for 3 hours or more. Generally, temperatures will be 20 degrees or lower with a blizzard. A severe blizzard is characterized by wind speeds of 45 mph or higher accompanied by a great density of falling and/or blowing snow that frequently reduces visibilities to near zero, along with temperatures generally 10 degrees or lower. The powerful winter storm of 1978 was a severe blizzard.

Woman Indicted forBurglary and Criminal Damaging The Brown County Sheriff’s Office investigated a report of a Burglary which had been reported on August 11, 2012. The report indicated that while at her residence on Fite Avenue, Hamersville, a 88 year old woman’s electricity suddenly went off.

There were no adverse weather conditions, so she attempted to call the power company. The victim stated that her telephone was also out of service. While waiting for the power to come back on, the woman confronted an unknown woman coming from her garage into the living area of the house. The 88 year old woman asked the stranger who she was and why she was in her home.

After giving a false name and reason for being there, the woman was escorted from the residence.

Further investigation into the incident revealed that the telephone lines had been pulled apart and the breaker had been disconnected. Entry into the resi-

The Adams County Grand Jury was reconvened in response to recent Felony Criminal charges against people alleged to have broken the law in Adams County.

The Grand Jurors are average citizens of Adams County who meet regularly during a four-month term.

Although the activities of the grand jury are confidential under Ohio law, the indictments that they present are a matter of public record. Prosecutor David Kelley would like to thank the grand jurors for responding on short notice to hear these serious cases.

Politics & Government House Small Business Committee Unveils Small Biz Reg Watch Initiative Small businesses are bracing for “a tsunami of executive orders and regulations” from the Obama administration, and the House Small Business Committee is helping them make their voices heard with the Small Biz Reg Watch initiative unveiled today.

Small Biz Reg Watch will highlight pending regulations for small business owners, and give them the opportunity to speak out about how the rules being handed down by bureaucrats in Washington affect their ability to grow and hire new workers.

House Small Business Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) said, “Most small businesses don’t have lawyers or lobbyists who focus on regulatory compliance, like larger corporations may have,” said Chairman Graves.

“Therefore, our Committee wants to help them participate in the federal government rule-making process.

Not all regulations are bad, but many can be unnecessarily burdensome and it is important that small companies express their concerns before a rule is finalized. Because small businesses bear a regulatory cost that is much higher than the cost of compliance for large businesses, our Committee wants to help small companies make their voice heard as federal regu-

of more than $515 billion on the U.S. economy.” The Small Business Committee reports that small businesses “pay a regulatory compliance cost that is 36 percent higher than large businesses,” at a time when they remain fearful of rising health care and energy costs, and the threat of more tax hikes, according to the most recent Gallup survey.

Efforts To Ensure Workers Are Allowed Paid Sick Leave, Keep Ohio Families Healthy Four in 10 Private-Sector Workers Don’t Have Any Paid Sick Days. There Have Been More than 3,000 Flu-Related Hospitalizations since September 2012, Last Year, Fewer than 100 Flu-Associated Hospitalizations Occurred in Ohio.

With flu season in full swing, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) outlined efforts to ensure paid sick leave for workers and to keep Ohio families healthy. More than 3,000 Ohioans have been hospitalized because of the influenza virus this season alone and while medical professionals are advising workers to stay home to avoid spreading the flu to others, too many Americans—including four in ten private-sector workers—do not have a single paid sick day that they can use to care for themselves or to care for a sick family member. The problem is exacerbated by last week’s news that the number of Americans who are members of unions is at its lowest point since 1930.

“For too many Americans, sick day means a day without pay,” Brown said. “Business owners, like Heather, realize that healthy workers are often more productive workers. Doing the right thing is also right for business. But not all employers recognize this, and many workers are left without unions to stand up for them. The Healthy Families Act would allow American workers to earn the sick leave that would once have been negotiated on their behalf by unions through collective bargaining. Paid sick days save employers money. They reduce turnover and help increase productivity. Paid sick days are vital to maintaining public health.”

Brown announced plans to cosponsor the Healthy Families Act (HFA), legislation which would allow workers to earn paid sick time while protecting business owners. He was joined by Heather Rocco Geissler, CEO and coowner of Challenger Aviation Products, who announced her support of the bill and outlined her own company’s policy.

"As the CEO, of a small Ohio company, I support Paid Sick days for all employees,” Rocco Geissler said. “I believe it increases productivity and ensures long-term wellness among my employees, their children and members of my community."

The Healthy Families Act would ensure that workers have access to paid sick leave.

U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), chair of the

Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, is the author of the bill and plans to introduce HFA in the next month. Specifically, the bill would: Allow workers to earn paid sick time to address medical needs and care for family members: Workers can earn up to 56 hours (seven days) of paid sick time—one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked.

Workers could use this time to recover from illness, care for a sick family member, obtain preventative or diagnostic treatment, or to seek help if they are victims of domestic violence.

Senator Provide important S h e r r o d worker protections while Brown addressing business conD-Ohio cerns: Employers with fewer than 15 employees are exempt from the bill.

Employers with existing leave policies can maintain them as long as their existing leave policies meet minimum requirements described in the HFA. The bill also permits employers to require workers to provide documentation supporting any request for leave longer than three consecutive days.

Decreases employee turnover and improves productivity to benefits workers, business, and our economy by reducing the spread of disease: By reducing unnecessary emergency room visits, universal paid sick days would save the economy $1 billion in health care costs per year, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.

This year’s influenza outbreak has hit Ohio particularly hard. According to the Ohio Department of Health, there have been 3,081 influenza-related hospitalizations in Ohio as of January 19. By comparison, 97 hospitalizations were linked to the flu the 2011-2012 season.

The number of flu hospitalizations this winter in Ohio by county is available here and below.

Portman Introduces Child Custody Protection Act This past week, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (ROhio) introduced the Child Custody Protection Act (S.32), legislation which would make it a federal offense to transport a minor across a state line for an abortion if it would circumvent a state law requiring parental involvement in that minor’s abortion. Ohio and the majority of other states require parents’ involvement if their minor children have an abortion.

Yet, 13 states and the District of Columbia do not have such laws on the books. Minors

who live in the states bordering on these outliers are often transported across state lines

should be legal, on one point there is a growing consensus: we must all work together to reduce the number of abortions. By helping to ensure that the parental U.S. Senator involvement laws of Rob Portman states are not undermined (R) by transporting minors across state lines, my bill will bring us one step closer toward this goal.

“Ohio Right to Life and its statewide membership for abortions as a way to get applauds Senator Rob around their home-state Portman for sponsoring the parental involvement require- Child Custody Protection Act, ments. which when enacted will proWhile our nation is divid- tect minors and ensure parents ed on whether or not abortion are involved and have knowledge of their child’s safety and well being,” said Mike Gonidakis, President of Ohio Right to Life. “Nationally, we Financial Advisor are witnessing increased 481 Tucker Dr efforts by abortion clinics encouraging minors to travel P.O.

Cuffs & Collars Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers Southwest Ohio On November 7, Wildlife Officer Trent Weaver received a call from a landowner about trespassers looking for a deer that they had shot. The hunters knew who the landowner was, and actually called him for permission. This was after the hunter who shot the deer left the area when he found out they were going to ask for permission to look for his deer. The hunters didn't know that this hunter had previously also been warned not to come back.

The hunters had already crossed the landowner’s entire farm before calling.

The landowner allowed them to look for the deer but was upset about them not calling him FIRST. Additionally, the landowner warned the caller that he needed a license and tag.

This warning was also given by the hunter’s father that day but when Officer Weaver returned the next morning he found both the father and son-in-law again in violation. The son-inlaw was issued a citation for hunting without a license as his "Son-InLaw" exemption does not exist in the law. Only a landowner and the children of that landowner may hunt without a license, on lands owned by the landowner.

man about a deer being shot from the roadway via spotlight in the Chesapeake area of Lawrence County the day after the deer gun season ended.

Officer Abbot was able to obtain a license plate number of the vehicle and a detailed description of all parties involved in the violation.

Officer Abbot determined

the vehicle was a rental car and determined who rented it at the time of the incident. Officer Abbot issued the defendant summonses for jacklighting, shooting on/across or from a public roadway, and possession of illegally taken deer. The defendant was found guilty in Lawrence County Municipal Court and ordered to pay $410.00 in fines and court costs, and also received one year of probation, one year of revoked hunting privileges, and lost the .22 rifle that was seized as part of the incident.

the beaver was caught and found two body gripping traps. Both traps were set on land and were larger than the five-inch diameter allowed.

Body griping traps larger than five-inches must be set in water and traps larger than seveninches must be completely submerged in water. In all, four traps were located and none were tagged with the required owner's information. Officer Teders investigated and found an individual who was trying to catch a beaver causing damage to a dam. The individual was educated on nuisance beaver regulations and the tagging of traps and issued a summons for using too large of a body gripping trap on land. The individual was found guilty in Madison County Municipal Court and ordered to pay fines, court costs and complete a trapper education course.

Northeast Ohio Mahoning County Wildlife Officer Tom Frank received information that an individual had killed two deer and not permanently checked either in as required. The subsequent investigation revealed that he had killed an antlered and an antlerless deer without a deer permit. He was charged with three wildlife offenses, appeared in court, and was convicted. The judge ordered the man to pay over $700.00 in fines and court costs. The antlers and the processed venison were forfeited to the Division of Wildlife.

Master Gardener - Fun Garden Projects

By Faye Mahaffey Brown County OSUE Master Gardener Volunteer We decided to take advantage of the “warmer” weather and hiked a new trail in Greene County that ended at the foot of an Indian mound. Poised on top of a large rock was a very creative snowman with native plants and weeds for accessories.

Some of my neighbors have been very creative with their snowmen by building them upside down, in family groupings, or even riding on a sled! I should have taken time to build a scarecrow out of snow for my garden. I’m sure I will still have an opportunity in February or March.

Are you looking for a fun indoor project? Get the kids involved and create decorative garden pavers that can be embellished and personalized in a number of different ways. These pavers will be charming additions to your garden or walk-way in the spring.

Planning a small meditation grotto? These garden stones can be a wonderful focal point and allow you the chance to reflect on your family and loved ones while enjoying a moment of peace and tranquility. These garden stone kits are available at a number of craft and garden stores throughout the area.

Even your cereal box can provide some ecofriendly indoor projects for your family. Everything from using the empty box to create a recycling rack to collect junk mail, magazines and newspapers to an eco-friendly folder! You can visit GoBigForThePlanet.com for instructions and more eco-friendly ideas. We all know that recycling helps

Pictured: Eric Davenport presented the Edge of Appalachia Preserve certificate and monetary award for the Best Environmental Related Project to North Adams High School Sophomores Ryan Grooms and Alexis Cross (Monthly changes in lake quality). protect the environment for future generations. So put your creative thinking caps on and take on the challenge of an empty cereal box!

How are your indoor plants looking? Is it time to divide crowded pots? If you are itching to dig in the dirt, this is a great opportunity to do just that.

Are the seed catalog orders completed? Have you jotted down your priorities for the coming garden season? Is your garden journal current and full of designs for new projects?

Asking those questions makes my head spin! So many questions….so little time before we can start planting!

The February 11th deadline to register for the training classes to become a Master Gardener Volunteer is quickly approaching. Classes will meet on Wednesdays, 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., starting February 20 and ending May 22. The Adams County OSUE office is

handling the registration for these classes and can be reached at 937-544-2339.

There has been a change in the schedule for the gardening seminars held at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. The schedule is as follows: February 17 – Water Gardens; March 21 – Native Plants/Id; April 18 – Vertical Gardens; and May 16 – Miniature Gardens.

All seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.

The rain will wash away the snow and give you another opportunity to take a walk about and check for animal damage.

You might also want to check to see if mulches and other winter protection have heaved or loosened, exposing plants to damage.

Enjoy the warmer weather while it lasts, we all know that it can quickly change back to frigid temperatures!

Senior Living

Adams County Senior Citizens Civil War Quilt Pattern February may be the shortest month but many events happen within it.

For sports enthusiasts, we have the Super Bowl; for historians, the birthdays of two very prominent Presidents who served and led our country; for romantics, we have Valentine’s Day; and just for fun (especially if you actually ARE from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania), there is Groundhog Day! Don’t let the dark days we often see in this month get you down, learn a little history, love somebody a lot, and laugh a bit at little “Phil” as he comes out of his hole to try to predict the weather! We Ohioans already know when it comes to the weather, “we never know what we are going to get”!

February brings more than just gloomy days; find a reason to bring some sunshine into it for it won’t be long before the warmth of spring really will be here!

We appreciate you working with us on this by keeping all of us safe, therefore, serving you better.

This week for the quilt challenge I wanted to talk about stars. Five pointed stars are always hard to find patterns for.

I have seen stars drawn with the 5 line method we used as children learning to draw, to elaberate methods, to freestyle where no two are the same. Old glory had 34 stars from 1861-1863. In 1863 it went to 35 stars. Stars were popular in quilts from both the north and the south during and after the civil war. The pattern today is for 2 star variations. The first one is to be reverse appliqued, the second to be

pieced. The sashing at the bottom show sashings that when used bordering all blocks with intersection squares, will show stars in the borders. Send us in pictures of your work to be featured in our paper. Is there a block that you would like included in The Informer Civil War Quilt Challenge? IF so please contact us at the Informer.

Local Man is Given a Second Chance at Life

Pictured is Kevin Newberry of Georgetown and Pam Kelch, RN from OVM Home Health.

The Ohio Valley Manor Home Health and Christ Hospital are pleased to announce they have entered a partnership that has OVM Home Health exclusively providing post-operative care to patients in Brown and Adams Counties who have received a HeartMate II, otherwise known as a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD).

The LVADs are battery-operated mechanical pump-type devices that are surgically implanted on the upper part of the abdomen. They take blood from the left ventricle and pump it through the aorta.

LVADs are becoming more common and are often used by heart failure patients who have to wait for heart transplants. The device is designed to help the left side of the heart deliver blood to the rest of the body. While is does not replace the heart, it's considered to be an alternative for patients unable to find a donor or who are unable to receive a transplant.

"Our team is excited to be involved with this cutting edge technology. This is the first device of its kind to be FDA approved for advanced heart failure. The LVAD really provides people with new hope and improved health, allowing many of them to reclaim their lives," said Lisa Fussnecker, OVM Home Health Administrator. "We are honored to work with these remarkable patients and their families. To begin to see them feel better and have more energy when they were unable to perform the simplest of tasks before is amazing."

Kevin Newberry of Georgetown, is one of those stories. Mr. Newberry was at

the end stage of heart failure and unable to get a heart transplant. “I couldn't walk across the room without being short of breath. My quality of life was pretty much zero until I had the LVAD implant. When I came home, I received quality care and guidance from OVM Home Health and with their help I am on the road to getting my life back," stated Mr. Newberry."I'm one thankful guy!"

Christ Hospital Representative, Valerie Gadomski, RN, BSN and LVAD Coordinator said "We are very excited to be working with OVM Home Health. We want people to know to about end stage heart failure and that there is hope even without a heart transplant. OVM Home Health has done an excellent job providing care to their first LVAD patient, Mr. Newberry.

OVM Home Health is totally committed.

There is a lot of time and training involved in learning about caring for the patient, understanding the device, and educating the caregivers. OVM Home Health stepped up in every way to work with Christ Hospital so their staff could become trained and knowledgeable on the LVAD. The LVAD program is growing by leaps and bounds. We have performed 29 implants since January 2011 and hope to exceed that number in 2013. We are the only hospital in the Cincinnati area that performs these implants. There is a great need for the LVAD in end stage heart failure; we couldn't be more excited to be working with OVM Home Health and their staff. We are looking forward to working with them in the future."

Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: Recently I saw some needles that were kind of wide and flat. What on earth are they used for? Sign me Flattered Dear Flattered: There are flat needles used for tattooing, cosmetic surgery and crewel work. Also, there are times I have seen leather needles nade flat with a point sharp enough to pierce through leather. It is hard to tell what type they were without seeing them. There are even needles that the eye is "open" so it is easier to thread or can be self threading. I have seen some flat ones

for quilting that are supposed to keep the needle from turning. Personally I think the way you do yor stitches dictates what size of needle you should purchase or use for your craft.

Dear Miss Needles: What are the half circle needles used for? Signed Wanda Eing Dear Wanda: Years ago I took an upholstering course. once we had the parts of a couch upholstered that faced the room, we would finish with the back of the couch (side that usually faces the wall).

After tacking the backing along the top, we blind

sewed the sides to the other pieces nailed on with the circular needle. The stitching looked great, almost unseen and it goes relatively fast. The longer ones are for tufting or sewing the cushion covers shut, but the middle size round one is for sewing blind seams, usually in the back of the chair or couch.

Usually it is the last piece you are attaching.

Do you have a question you would like Miss Needles to answer? Please e-mail her at dearmissneedles@yahoo.com or write to her in care of the Informer.

WC Fall Dean’s List

By:Sam DeAtley, Adams County 4-H member and President, Adams County Junior Fair Board Everybody knows that 4H has a huge impact on today's youth and tomorrow’s leaders.

Recently the national 4-H organization started a movement called the Revolution of Responsibility. This movement is designed to get current 4-H members even more excited about the program and to begin using the skills they learn in 4-H to impact their communities in significant ways.

The Adams County 4-H program is excited and proud to announce that we will be joining the Revolution! Sam DeAtley, a member of the Stirrin’ Up Dust 4-H Club and president of the Adams County Junior Fair Board, with the support of the Adams County 4-H Advisory Committee, Extension staff, and outstanding members of the community, will be starting a program she calls “Revolution of Rabbits.” This unique program will offer under-privileged or at-risk youth the opportunity to raise and exhibit market rabbits at

the 2013 Adams County Fair.

Qualifying youth will join a 4-H club, learn about rabbits and rabbit care, and receive three young rabbits to raise as their project. The program will loan the members all of the supplies necessary for the project, including a rabbit hutch, feed, feeders, waterers, and record and resource books. The program will also provide the young rabbits.

After completing the requirements and selling their pen of market rabbits at the Sale in July, each participant will return $50 of the sale proceeds to cover program costs, which provides sustainability to the program. Participants will receive the balance of the sale proceeds, which could average $75 or more. The goal of this program is to teach youth responsibility as they learn to care for animals, keep feed and financial records, and so on, while at the same time having the opportunity to make friends and excel in the 4-H program.

DeAtley would like to thank all of the individuals, businesses, and organizations which are helping make this project possible: the Adams

County 4-H Advisory Committee for providing startup funds, Donnie Swayne for breeding and donating rabbits, McCoy Lumber for donating materials, and the OVCTC carpentry class and its instructor, Brent Harper, for building the hutches.

To qualify for the program, youth must be at least 8 years old and in the third grade through age 18, joining 4-H for the first time, unable to participate in a market animal project without some assistance, willing to attend 4-H club meetings, participate in the Rabbit Clinic on April 27 and the annual 4-H skillathons in May, and exhibit and sell a pen of market rabbits in the 2013 Fair. The youth will also need strong family support to be successful in the program.

Interested youth or their parents or guardians may contact DeAtley or Carolyn L. Belczyk, Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development, at OSU Extension Adams County, via email at belczyk.1@osu.edu or via phone at 544.2339. Youth must be enrolled in a 4-H club by March 1, so prompt response is required.

ACOV Spelling Bee The Adams County Ohio Valley School District Spelling Bee is scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at West Union Elementary in the cafeteria. In the event of cancellation, the make-up date is Tuesday, February 19, same time and place. The Bee will be a contest for the winners of the school-level Spelling Bees in the district. The public is cordially invited to attend. Spelling Bee pins will be provided by the Adams County Chamber of Commerce.

Trophies will be provided by the Ohio Valley Education Association.

JV Lady Jays Wins Greyhounds Win Over Dragons

Britney Bennington, Informer Sports The Manchester JV Lady Hounds came onto the floor hoping to come back after their last big loss to the Ripley Lady Blue Jays, but that wouldn't be the case. The Lady Hounds were defeated 63-44. Lady Hounds Coach Erin Reed said, "The girls played good, it was an improvement from the last match up.

Ripley beat us by more than double what they did tonight."

The first period was a rough one for the JV Hounds. With the Blue Jays coming out scoring the first basket from a steal that led to a fast break layup, putting 2 on the board. Lady Hounds Bethany Sweeney and Summer Wilbur did all they could, the two combined for a total of nine points in the first with Sweeney making a three from almost mid-court at the buzzer to finish the period with the Lady Jays 20-9. Lady Jays Alayna Blackburn, came out on fire combining 4 field goals,1 for 2 at the line and a three to give her 12 points in the first 7:00 minutes of play.

Coming into the second period the Lady Hounds picked up the tempo with Sweeney hitting one from behind the arc, getting the Lady Hounds teams momentum going. The Lady Hounds next possession #1 Tess Burns crashed the boards after a missed shot rebounding and fighting to put it back up making the shot, drawing the foul and turning it to a three point play. Lady Jays Carlee Haitz put in two back-to-back jumpers for four quick points only for the Hounds Haylee Adams to answer back, adding seven points to the Lady Hounds scoreboard. Adams was three for four on her free throws and four points from the field. At the close of the half The Lady Hounds had brought the score within 8 with the score board reading 36-24.

Coach Reed said, "I think we handled the ball well the first half. They need to work on their

defense. We are a quick team, but the team are freshman mostly with some never playing before this year and need to learn the fundamentals. Makayla Smith came off the bench and played a great defensive game, grabbing a lot of rebounds, shes improved so much."

The second stanza started with numerous calls for traveling and double dribbling. The third period being the lowest scoring period of the game for both teams with the Lady Jays only scoring 13 and the Lady hounds scoring 8. With frustration and emotions running through the players and crowd the ref had to stop the game and huddle in players from both teams to warn them to calm down and regain composure, both teams went into double bonus. Lady Jays Carlee Haitz had 7 of the 13 for the Blue Jays and Sweeney had four points with Ali Tadlock and Montana Hamilton each with 2 to close the third with Lady Jays 47-34.

Opening the fourth period the struggling Lady Hounds kept trailing farther behind. #4 Wilbur added 9 of the 10 scored for the Lady Hounds, but it was no where near enough.

The Blue Jays kept up the pace with Blackburn making three goals from the field and 3 of 5 from the line to add 9 more to her tally on the night. She would end up as the high scorer of the game with 24 points followed by Carlee Haitz with 20 respectively.

For the Lady Hounds Bethany Sweeney had 14 on the night with runner up Summer Wilbur having 12.

The final score ended up 63-44.

Coach Kent Caudill stated, "Our girls executed the ball well. We were a little sluggish at times, but did hustle on defense. We need to work on defense.

It is Alayna Blackburns birthday tonight and she done very well, a nice present to her."

Ripley Wins Over Manchester By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports The Manchester Lady Hounds came out strong in the first period hoping to add a win to their shaky season against the Lady Blue Jays, but as the night went on the Hounds lost momentum sealing their fate with a loss 53-38 on Monday, January 25, at the Manchester High School.

Lady Hounds Hannah Rideout, came out strong for Manchester leading the way in the first period with four field goals to have eight of the 16 points scored in the first. Haylee Adams and Rainelle Casey assisted with 4 points a piece to bring the Hounds ahead 16-14 at the end of the first period, the only time Manchester would lead the entire game.

Lady Blue Jays led scoring with seven points from the first and adding nine in the second to give her 16 points in the first half. The Hounds Tess Burns was six of eight from the stripe, leaving her with six points and Rainelle Casey drained a three helping keep the score close. Two baskets were made by Ripley's Tori Boone with Jessica Garrison including a three and concluded with Jaden Royal busting a long ball from behind the arc to give the Blue Jays 33 at the half.

Manchester trailed slightly with 27 heading into the locker room.

Starting the second half the Lady Hounds came out and went from hot to cold with Himes hitting a field goal and Adams making a jumper to give them the only four points of the third period. Ripley didn't come out much better only knocking down two

three pointers and a field goal to give them eight points in the third.

Ripley started the fourth a little warmer with the team working together and having multiple scorers. #4 Garrison busted a three and a layup to give her 5 of the 12 points scored in the final period. Rideout came out shooting like she had in the first making two from behind the arc giving her six points in the fourth.

Rideout would end up being the Lady Hounds high scorer of the night with 15. Despite her efforts the Lady Hounds were still defeated 53-38.

Coach P.J Wagner said, "We played good the first quarter. it went down hill from there. We need to play fast the whole game.

They start strong but fizzle out.

We need to finish strong and hard."

By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports The decision was made Tuesday, January 29, with West Union traveling to Manchester, to settle the score with both teams having a win. The rubber match game would decide. It was a nail biter from tip-off until the final seconds ticked down with the Hounds coming out ahead 43-40 over the defeated Dragons.

Greyhounds Coach Aaron Lockhart said, "Good rivalry game, it lived up to the hype. Both teams played hard and we were fortunate to come out on top." The show down started with energy and motivation to win. Both teams were hustling up and down the hardwood with plenty of fouls and on the floor scrambling from both teams that showed it was going to be a long physical game. West Union came out showing that they were playing as a team. with crisp passes and shooting by several players. James Sellars, came out leading his team in scoring the first period with two field goals and a free throw to give them five points. Greyhounds Sean Frost, matched that with five points of his own and Austin Hughes came up with a basket and two from the stripe to give him four that ended the period with a tie 11-11.

Heading into the second period Hounds Braxton Gaffin, came out battling for his team charging the lane and fighting inside to put up two. bringing it to 2:40 minutes left in the second with the scoreboard reading 17-16. Dragons Brady Hinkle, grabbed a steal from Hounds Frost, to foul him and send the team into Bonus foul shooting. Hinkle went to the line to make both shots and bringing it to 2118 with 1:49 to go. At the buzzer Dragons Adam Hall, busted a jumper to bring the visiting Dragons trailing by one. Heading into Halftime Hounds lead 21-20.

Starting the second half Gaffin, came out just as hot as the first half by making back to back baskets making the home crowd roar. The Dragons gained control putting the ball into Kade Miller's hands.

Miller drilled a three bringing the score 25-23 with 1:50 left in the third period. Gaffin, sunk another basket drawing a foul, but couldn't bring it to a three point play. After rebounding the ball Sellers grabbed an offensive board, putting it back up for two and drawing a foul. Sellers missed the foul shot and the Hounds rebounding. A. Hughes, drove the ball weav-

ing through two defensive jerseys, to put up a lay up and finishing off the third period at 31-25.

With six minutes remaining in the fourth period with the Dragons trailing and the Dragon team looking frustrated, making mistakes and forcing things on the offensive end that wasn't there. Finally #00 Trent Price pulled up for a jumper adding two to the scoreboard. With 5:00 minutes to go a time out was called to talk strategy and settle down. Back on the floor some bad calls were made leaving some upset players and a frustrated crowd. The clock was ticking to 3:00 minutes to go Greyhounds Phillip Thomas, drained a three to keep the hounds momentum going.

Dean Hall answered back to the Dragons by popping a short jumper leaving Coach Lockhart to call a time out with 2:00 on the clock and the score 36-31. With time ticking down and a minute left the Dragons had no choice, but to foul. Gaffin, went to the line and missed his free throws leaving him three for seven in the fourth and nine for 14 on the night. A.J. Frost came down the line and pulled up for a three trying to close a gap for West Union, but missed with Manchester rebounding. Shawn Frost shot, but was off the mark and was fouled. Going to the line making one and missing the second, leaving him four for six in the fourth. West Union brought the ball down the floor giving Price a hurried shot causing a miss with no offensive rebound. Hounds Smith, rebounded the ball and was instantly fouled. Dragons Coach Tarrop called a time out with 00:38 on the clock. The Hounds ball coming into play was passed to Gaffin and was fouled by Price. It was Price's fifth foul and it took it out of the game. Gaffin went to the line making the foul shots. The Dragons brought the ball back in passing it to Miller. Miller made one from behind the arc with 00:18 to go, but it wasn't enough to gain control for the Dragons. The Hounds stayed on top winning 43-40 at Home.

Coach Lockhart said, "Missing Austin Smith effected us, but the kids moving up were great and was more consistent. They played a good game."

Braxton Gaffin was the high scorer of the night with 19 points.

Dragons Coach Tarrop said, "Manchester came out short handed, but was on fire. They out rebounded us and they had enough points to win. Brady Hinkle came off the bench and done well for us."

By Britney Bennington, Informer Sports The West Union Dragons came to visit the Manchester Greyhounds. The Hounds were looking for a win, but unfortunately fell short 42-9.

The JV Hounds just couldn't connect with the basket that night.

The first period started with Tyler Sininger and Brady Hinkle trading buckets both having two baskets a piece and Gareth Shelton busting a three to give the Dragons 11 points at the end of the first. #11 Trey Brooks wearing blue scored the only four points of the half for the Hounds in the first quarter.

The second period didn't go any better for Manchester who never scored a point, but that didn't stop the Dragons Timmy Snider from hitting 4four field goals and being two for three from the line to have 10 points by the half. Teammate Trent Price helped out by putting five more on the scoreboard making two baskets and being 50% from the stripe making 1 of 2. G. Shelton and Dylan Dunn contributed to their team with Shelton making both his free throws and Dunn being one for two on his left

the score 29-4 at the half.

HEALTH MATTERS

“Working With You For A Healthy New Year�

Financing Your Health New Challenges in Paying for Your Health Care

WE DID IT! The Adams County community started the New Year off right by donating a total of 100 units of blood to save lives. Since one unit of blood can impact three different recipients this indicates that our donors impacted 300 lives!

We had 125 people attempt to donate b l o o d and 3 people w h o donated a " do uble" unit.

This hospital blood drive was held on, Jan. 2 at The Adams County Regional Medical Center and was coordinated by one of the ACRMC Volunteens, Mackenzie Harover.

With hard work and a challenging goal of 100 units, Mackenzie set out to exceed the ACRMC all time high of 70 units. With the help of the community getting involved and their desire to help we surpassed the previous all time high

by 43%.

I would like to thank: all those who came and donated; those who came to donate but was deferred; the Manchester High School and the Peebles High School for letting us place a "signup" table at basketball games; all the different business sites where we p l a c e d posters for the blood drive and to ACRMC employees who donated. I must also say that the Hoxworth employees were very efficient and friendly in keeping the donors moving. The second donor van during the day certainly helped.

"It was a great community effort and success" states Saundra Stevens. It gives Adams County residents the recognition they deserve for being a caring and giving community.

Traditionally, Adams County Regional Medical Center (ACRMC) has offered payment plans and terms to self pay patients and those with high deductible insurance. Unfortunately, the hospital can no longer afford this service.

Over the next four to six weeks, many patients of Adams County Regional Medical Center (ACRMC) will be receiving letters inviting them to contact a patient financial counselor to refinance or settle their balance with the hospital. As many of you have heard, there is less money coming into the hospital as a result of lower inpatient volumes, decreasing reimbursement and also, falling collectability of accounts.

Right now the hospital is carrying a large amount of old debt from former patients of the hospital. Unfortunately, although we appreciate the effort some patients make to pay on their outstanding balances with a small amount per month, the hospital can no longer afford to carry those accounts. We do not charge interest on balances. In addition, the hospital has to pay the physicians, nurses and staff who provided that care therefore $50.00 a month on a $5,000.00 balance, for example, threatens our ability to meet payroll and pay suppliers.

The solution is NOT to send everyone to a collection service. No, ACRMC wants to make this an easier process for both our patients as well as to allow us

to meet our financial goals to stay in business. The range of solutions will all fall within a one year (12 month) time frame. Generally, those solutions will be: * Pay off your balance in the next 12 months, if you are able. Increase your payments so that the balance is paid off within 12 months. * Finance your balance within the next 12 months: o Credit card - ACRMC will provide convenient, monthly billing to your credit card. The balance must be charged to your credit card in full within the next 12 months. o Finance company ACRMC will be working with finance companies to finance your balance. Our Patient Financial Counselors (937-3863400, Extension 3449) will assist you with questions on how to apply.

While we regret this change which will impact many of our patients and families in the community, we are among the last regional hospitals to make these changes in our billing and collections processes. The business side of health care has been changing rapidly and dramatically. We can no longer afford to carry outstanding balances, but we can partner with banks and finance companies to assist you in meeting your health care needs today and in the future.
