Adams County Newest Quilt Barn

Photo by Tom Cross

Pictured: Allen Miller and his crew hanging the final piece of the new Adams County Quilt Logo on Graces Run Road. Adams County’s newest quilt barn is located at 5400 Graces Run Road, near Harshaville. The quilt pattern is the new Adams County Travel & Visitors Bureau logo which consists of nine icons, each icon representing a unique aspect of Adams County. The quilt logo measures 12 feet high and nine feet wide and was hand painted by Manelius Miller

of Winchester. Allen Miller and his sons installed the mural Friday. “The idea was conceived over a year ago but finding the right barn at the right location took some time,” said Tom Cross, Executive Director of the Adams County Travel & Visitors Bureau. “The Bureau finally settled on a barn located on Graces Run Road that is owned by

Linda Fennell. Ms. Fennell was very cooperative and liked the idea of have a quilt pattern adorn her barn. What makes the location so unique is the Harshaville Covered Bridge will soon be undergoing historical renovation, plus the barn sits right on the upcoming John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail. Graces Run Road also serves as a gateway to the Amish Community.” The quilt logo was paid for with a grant from The Nature Conservancy with funds to be used toward the enhancement of tourism in the county. Adams County currently has between 30 to 40 quilt barns located throughout the county. The Adams County Clothesline of Quilts was originally conceived by Donna Sue Groves whose idea has now spread across the nation and Canada. “I expect the Harshaville bridge renovation to draw some visitors and once the Morgan’s Raid Heritage Trail signs go up on Graces Run and Wheat Ridge the new quilt barn will get a lot of attention from sightseers and visitors,” said Cross who added “The Bureau also has other projects in the works that will benefit tourism in the county.” To view Adams County’s newest quilt barn take Graces Run Road east into Harshaville off St. Rt. 247 south of Seaman.

Record $2.43 Billion Settlement of ClassAction Lawsuit Against Bank of America A historic $2.43 billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit with Bank of America over claims it made and information it omitted, about its acquisition of Merrill Lynch that led to losses for the bank's investors, including the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio and the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System. The settlement is the single largest securities class action settlement ever resolving a Section 14(a) claim - the federal securities provision designed to protect against misstatements in connection with a proxy solicitation. The settlement is one of the four largest settlement amounts ever funded by a single corporate defendant for violations of the federal securities laws. The settlement is also the largest securities class-action settlement where executives of the defendant were not criminally charged. It is estimated that the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio and the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System will receive a total of $20 million. This could be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed. A trial was set to begin on October 22 for the class action suit, filed in 2009. The suit alleged that Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and certain current and/or former officers and directors of Bank of America or Merrill Lynch violat-

ed the federal securities laws by making a series of materially false statements and omissions in connection with the Merrill Lynch acquisition regarding billions of dollars of losses which Merrill had suffered before the shareholder vote, and an undisclosed agreement allowing them to pay billions in bonuses before the acquisition closed despite these losses. Bank of America shareholders voted without these material facts on December 5, 2008, to approve the acquisition. Bank of America's stock price plunged when the facts were revealed in a series of disclosures in January 2009. The lead plaintiffs include the: State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio; the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System; the Teacher Retirement System of Texas; Stichting Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn (the Dutch national pension fund for the health care and social sector) and Fjarde AP-Fonden, (one of the largest national pension funds in Sweden). In addition to the Ohio public pension systems, approximately 70,000 individual Ohioans are potential class members in the case. They have been notified by the claims administrator, Garden City Group, with an office in Dublin, of the class action. They will receive additional information about filing a claim.

Scientists with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) made their 10,000th DNA match, linking a suspected criminal to the scene of a crime. The DNA profile connected a suspect to a Columbus burglary case. Experts at BCI have been adding DNA profiles to the national Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) since 2001. The computer database then compares the new profile to others already entered into the system. "This 10,000th DNA match is a major milestone," said Attorney General Mike DeWine. "Our forensic scientists at BCI work on a daily basis to extract DNA from crime scene evidence and DNA swabs from criminal

suspects. To be successful in not only finding and extracting that DNA, but matching it 10,000 times is something to be proud of. " The number of CODIS matches has increased significantly since the inception of Senate Bill 77, which allows law enforcement to take a DNA swab from suspects who have been arrested on felony charges. Prior laws only allowed officers to collect DNA after a suspect was convicted. BCI scientists have processed more than 422,000 DNA samples from convicted offenders, more than 49,000 samples from felony arrests and more than 14,000 samples found on crime scene evidence. Samples remain in CODIS indefinitely. Thorough investigations have helped BCI's scientists have helped local law enforcement identify serial criminals and cold case criminals and even exonerate suspected criminals whose DNA did not match evidence found

at a crime scene. Every month, there are on average 140 CODIS "hits" linking DNA left at a crime scene to a known suspect in Ohio or another state. The service is free for every law enforcement agency in Ohio.

A few thoughts… The mums are in full bloom and the pumpkins are out. Welcome to another beautiful Southern Ohio autumn. The month of October is here and it is Breast Cancer Awareness month. During the month of October we have changed our Mast Head to Pink in support of Breast Cancer. This is a decision that I made after we went into business and one that we do every October. You will see on page 11 this week's feature to Breast Cancer Awareness as in the next four weeks of this month. Breast Cancer hits close to home for many of us and for me it is, because of my late grandmother. A woman of strong

faith, but had to deal with Breast Cancer. Grandma (Elizabeth Jolly) was a survivor and lived many years after she was diagnosed. That is why at The Informer we dedicate October to Breast Cancer Awareness and trying Troy A. Jolly to highlight the issue Publisher of in the areas that we The Informer – serve. Also, to raise awareness about what Adams County is going on. Some perhaps could be reading this article and dealing with this very issue. we trust that encouragement can be found. So, this week I am going to leave you with an inspirational thought, "He promises to strengthen us in all our difficulties." Isaiah 41:10.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I am writing today to make the community aware of the upcoming tax levy renewal that will be on November’s ballot for the continued support of Adams County Children Services. I am 18 years old and have just begun my freshman year at Shawnee State University. Going to college was an opportunity I never thought I would have and a dream I didn’t know I could achieve. I am from a low income family and we have had many struggles, financially, physically and emotionally throughout most of my life. Almost five years ago, I entered foster care through Adams County Children Services due to some problems within my family. I went from being a child who struggled to attend school to someone who received several attendance awards and graduated high school, with honors. Without the support, compassion, and assistance I have had from Adams County Children Services and the people involved with that agency (caseworkers, foster

parents, residential care workers, etc.), I know I would not be where I am today. I am very thankful for all the guidance and help I have been given over the past several years. My former caseworker and other employees still keep in touch with me to make sure I’m doing okay while I begin this new chapter of my life and I’m really grateful for that. Please remember to vote “YES” for the Adams County Children Services Renewal Levy in November! Kids like me are counting on good people like you! This levy WILL NOT increase your taxes and costs $22 per year on a $100,000 home and has been the same levy since 1999. Again, thank you for your continued support of Adams County Children Services and the children and families of Adams County, who depend on their services. Sincerely, Tasha Benight Portsmouth, Ohio

Southeast Ohio During spring turkey season, State Wildlife Officer Eric Lane was patrolling Perry State Forest when he saw a hunter dressed in camouflage walking along the roadway. The hunter dropped what appeared to be a turkey in the weeds along the road. Officer Lane made contact and checked the hunter’s firearm, hunting license, and turkey permit, all of which were in order. Officer Lane picked up the turkey and asked the hunter why he had not temporary tagged it. The hunter told Officer Lane that he did not know if it was legal to shoot a hen turkey with a beard. Officer Lane told him that any bearded turkey is legal. Officer Lane issued a summons for failure to temporary tag the turkey. The hunter posted bond of $125. Just after the close of muzzleloader season, State Wildlife Officer Ted Witham was approached by a concerned sportsman. The individual informed Officer Witham that he had knowledge of a deer that had been killed, but not checked in. The sportsmen further stated that he knew the suspect’s name and had seen the picture of the deer through the social media website, Facebook. Witham was able to locate the suspect at his workplace and asked if they could set up a time and place to meet. The suspect agreed to talk with Officer Witham the following day. Later that day, as Officer Witham was finishing his shift, he saw the suspect approach him. The suspect wanted to know if he could talk to Officer Witham that day instead of the next. Officer Witham spoke with the suspect about the allegation. The investigation determined a tagging violation, and the suspect told Officer Witham that he didn’t tag the deer because he didn’t want to “waste” his deer tag on a doe. Officer Witham asked why he would brag about a deer that hadn’t been checked in on Facebook.

The suspect stated that he didn’t think it was a big deal because “It was just a doe.” The suspect appeared in court, pleaded guilty, was found guilty, and was ordered to pay fines totaling $203. Northwest Ohio Van Wert County Wildlife

Officer Brad Buening was working a sport fishing assignment at Lake La Su An Wildlife Area in May. Lake La Su An has been managed for trophy sunfish and has very specific bag limits and regulations. Officer Buening was checking anglers at the boat ramp for fishing license compliance and measuring sunfish for length limits. While he was at the boat ramp, Buening spoke to two anglers launching their boat. Officer Buening asked if they had any questions about the regulations before they started fishing. The anglers were in too big of a hurry to talk and probably figured it was not important, so they headed out to fish. Several hours later Officer Buening contacted the two anglers after they had pulled out their boat. The officer counted and measured the two anglers’ sunfish. Officer Buening informed the anglers that they were several sunfish over their daily bag limit and over their limit of eight-inch sunfish. The two anglers were issued summons to the Bryan Municipal Court and found guilty of their violations. Each angler paid $125 in court costs and fines. It was a slow day watching fishermen at the Maumee River walleye run so Wildlife Officers Craig Barr and Ryan Kennedy decided to move to a new spot on the other side of the river. It was not long before the action started to

pick up. Shortly after their move, the officers watched a man unhook a snagged walleye and place it on his stringer. At the same time, they were also watching several fishermen who had left items of litter on the bank, waiting to see if the anglers would pick up their trash or leave without it. A short time later, the man with the snagged fish began to leave. Officer Kennedy left to contact the man while Officer Barr continued to watch for potential litter violations. While Kennedy was issuing the angler his citation for snagging, another man began to leave without picking up a beverage can he had set down. Officer Barr called nearby Wildlife Officer Cody Klima to come and stop the man and his acquaintances until he was able to get there. While checking the fishing licenses of the group, the officers discovered that one of the anglers did not have a fishing license. He was issued a citation for fishing without a license, and the man who left the can was issued a citation for litter. Both of them paid their fines shortly thereafter in the Maumee Municipal Court. While patrolling the Sandusky River, Wildlife Officers Brian Bury and Troy Reimund observed a man fishing in the middle of the river in downtown Fremont. The officers walked down to the man to check his fishing license and see what he had caught. When Officer Bury asked the man if he had caught any bass, the man responded “One” and proceeded to pull a 14.5-inch smallmouth bass out of his bucket. While the fish was out of the bucket the officers could see other fish splashing inside of the bucket. The officers decided to wade out through the water and check the bucket for themselves. They found four other smallmouth bass in the bucket, and all four were under the 14inch size limit. The man was issued a summons in the Fremont Municipal Court for taking smallmouth bass in the Lake Erie Sport Fishing District under 14 inches in length.

Politics & Government Food Stamp Debate Leaves Farmers in Limbo Companies Expected to Create 526 Jobs Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; commonly called food stamps. The amount weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending on food stamps is expected to balloon to $85 billion this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up from $19.8 billion in 2000. The SNAP program has grown from 19.1 million participants in 2002 to 44.7 million last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an increase of 134 percent. The reason is twofold: (1) The economic recession has left many people out of work, and they have turned to the government for help feeding their families; and (2) the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state governments have taken advantage of overly permissive standards (such as allowing college students who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t truly needy to receive SNAP benefits). Nobody in the United States should go hungry. I volunteer at a food U.S. Rep. bank and at an inner-city Jean Schmidt mission in Cincinnati, and I R-Ohio guarantee you that the need for SNAP is great. But so is the need for reforms to the program. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Nutrition and Horticulture, which oversees SNAP. Last year, I held a hearing to discuss the program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including not only the good things it does, but also waste, fraud, and abuse. I was shocked to learn that some states allow people who apply for SNAP to deduct from their income the cost of medical marijuana in determining eligibility for benefits. This is both a gross abuse of the intent of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical cost deduction and a waste of tax dollars. Marijuana is illegal under federal law, and there is no reason the cost of buying it should be used to calculate SNAP benefits. So I offered an amendment to eliminate the marijuana deduction, and my amendment was passed by the committee. By a bipartisan vote in July, the Agriculture Committee advanced a package of reforms for the whole House to consider. Changes to SNAP and farm programs in general would result in about $35 billion in savings by closing loopholes, revamping commodity programs, and significantly reducing waste, fraud, and abuse. I also voted in committee to preserve $16 billion in cuts to SNAP over 10 years. These cuts would curtail waste in administering the program and rein in states with lax standards, but would not affect people who truly need assistance. Some lawmakers think the cuts go too far, but others think we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut enough. So now, the Farm Bill is languishing in the House. If nothing is done, the provisions that benefit farmers could fade into the sunset â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the provisions that have resulted in bloated and wasteful spending on the SNAP program would continue. We all have a stake in the outcome. We have a responsibility to ensure that America has the safest and most stable food supply in the world. Farmers in Ohio and other states deserve responsible policy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a timely manner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from lawmakers in Washington.

This is the time of year we should be enjoying harvest festivals, but farmers in Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Second Congressional District donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot to celebrate. I grew up on a farm in Clermont Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miami Township, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult for me to tell when crops such as corn and soybeans are suffering because of drought. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve witnessed stunted crops in recent weeks while driving past fields in Clermont, Brown County, Adams County, Pike County, and Scioto County. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked with farm families and local officials who fret about the economic impact. We all should be concerned, regardless of whether you live in an Adams County farmhouse, a Cincinnati apartment, or a Warren County home. Everybody needs food, and grocery store bills are likely to rise because of a poor harvest. The impact could have far-reaching effects on Ohio farmers, manufacturers, and consumers. Agriculture is the number one industry in Ohio. In addition to being consumed as food, crops such as corn and soybeans are used to make everything from hair-care products to engine oil. Why am I telling you this? Because aside from feed, sunlight, rain, and fertilizer, Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers need something else to get their goods to market. Since the end of the Great Depression and the days of the Dust Bowl, farmers have needed to keep an eye on Washington to see what Congress is doing for them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or to them. At the moment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of both. Farmers in Ohio and the rest of America are anxiously waiting on their lawmakers to reach a consensus on a new five-year Farm Bill. The current one will expire September 30. The business of farming is unique because of the unpredictability of the weather. The Farm Bill ensures we manage the risk for farmers so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose our food supply. Can you imagine the national security implications if America were dependent on other countries for food? The size and shape of the Farm Bill helps farmers figure out what to plant or how many head of cattle or hogs to keep in the feed lot. The particulars also help farmers estimate how much they should borrow and how much they can expect to deposit in the bank at the end of the year. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent much of the year working on a new Farm Bill. But it was announced Thursday, September 20, that no vote will be taken on the bill until after the November elections. I had urged my House colleagues to consider the Farm Bill on the floor before the week was up. Sadly, the holdup in getting the latest version of the Farm Bill through Congress and into law has little to do with crops or cows. The main sticking point is what to do about the growth of the

Senior Living Seniors and Disabled Individuals can Receive Help for Heating Costs through HEAP Seniors and those with disabilities can apply for possible assistance with heating bills thanks to the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). HEAP is a federally funded program administered by the Ohio Department of Development’s Office of Community Service (OCS). It is designed to help eligible low-income Ohioans meet the high costs of home heating. Thanks to a grant received by the Ohio Department of Development, the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc., is able to facilitate the application process locally to seniors and those with disabilities through a number of partners included in its 10-county District. According to the Ohio Department of Development, if you are eligible for assistance, the amount of your one-time HEAP benefit will depend on federal funding levels, how many people live with you, total household income, and the primary fuel you use to heat your home. In most cases, the one-time benefit will be a

credit applied to your energy bill by your utility company or fuel vendor. Eligibility requirements are included on the Ohio

Development’s website at http://development.ohio.go v/Community/ocs/heap.ht m, or you can contact any of the partners listed previously for more information. A limited supply of applications are also located at the AAA7’s Pamela K. Matura, office sites in Rio Executive Director Grande, Portsmouth, Monthly Column Waverly and West Union.

Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: Does a quilt always have to be made of cotton fabrics? Signed I like PollyEster Dear Ester: You can make a quilt out of any fabrics. Cotton is easier to quilt through and it binds better with cotton batting. That being said, with so much machine quilting, I like a satin quilt would be great. I have an antique one that is made out of velvet and it simply beautiful. Other fab-

rics may not be as durable but if you are making an art quilt or one you plan to display and not use, other fabrics are fine. Dear Miss Needles: What type of thimble do you use? Signed - Sore fingered Sue Dear Sue: I actually use several types of thimbles. One is plastic and is a tad adjustible. I keep it in my travel sewing case. I have two metal ones I use

when quilting at my frame and I have one that is leather that I use when my fingers are swollen or I am knotting a quilt. A lot of folks only machine quilt and do not use one or even own one. I wear mine on my middle finger but occasionally change fingers if my hands are tired. Do you have a question for Miss Needles? If so, please e-mail her at dearmissneedles@yahoo.co m or write to her in care of The Informer.

Attention to safety is especially important for an older person. Several factors that make people in the older-age group unsteady and more prone to accidents include: Poor eyesight and hearing, arthritis, medication, alcohol, mental depression, poor physical condition, neurological disease and impaired coordination and balance. Older persons are especially vulnerable to severe injury and tend to heal slowly. So try to maintain your mental and physical health to the best of your ability and always use good safety habits. Come on out and get involved in some of the activities and services we have going on every month here at the Senior Center. On the 1st Monday & Friday each month the Adams County Veterans Services are here. On the 3rd Monday we have Knitting Class from 1-4 pm.

Getting into Harvest Fair Week in Brown County As we get into harvest, we expect to hear yields with a very wide range on corn and soybeans. If you are a producer and don’t mind sharing your yields, please e-mail me. I will try to develop some kind of range as we generally discuss this as part of the conference call for the C.O.R.N. newsletter on Monday mornings. My e-mail would be the best way to send this. My address is dugan.46@osu.edu The following article addresses aflatoxin issues and this would also be good to know. If you are selling or having corn tested, please share those results, too. I will not need to pass on names, just levels for toxins and yields as we continue to try to access the results of the 2012 drought. As several in Brown Co. travel to and from the fair and producers throughout the area continue to harvest crops, stay safe. For those of you on the roads, make sure you are well lit. For those of you in automobiles be on the lookout for harvest equipment and don’t take unnecessary chances. More on Aflatoxin in Corn As I drove to and from the Farm Science Review last week, I noticed several corn fields that have been harvested. I discussed some of the issues with mold in corn last week. That article discussed the levels of concern using this corn for everything from human consumption to livestock feed. This is a major issue for producers as they begin to harvest an already poor crop in many areas due to the lack of rain and extreme heat that came at the wrong time this summer. With that said, I have received a few calls and some pictures concerning issues with corn. Smut is a common problem in corn, especially sweet corn, but it seems to be in greater levels this year in field corn. Though not normally a problem, in very high populations it can pose a problem, too. There are two great sources of information for those of you with the internet. For those of you who do not use the internet, you may need to contact your local extension office, or go to a neighbor, relative, or your local library to get this information online. With the Brown Co. Fair in session, this week may be even harder to contact me than normal. My cell is 937-515-2314 if all else fails.

thing to consider. The symptoms in livestock fed contaminate corn can range from lower milk production, lower growth rates to even death. For dairy cows, the problem can be passed through the milk so we need to take precautions to avoid problems. Keep in mind that the levels of aflatoxins is measured in part per billion, but extra precautions may need to be taken with aniDavid Dugan mals that have a large porExtension Educator, tion of their ration or diet Agriculture and Natural containing corn.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing to you to inform you of what a great time we had at Old Timer's Day this year. We have gone to Old Timer's Day for the last 10 years and really look forward to it in the fall. My son, Brad Sparks, 12yo performed this year on the main stage and I was really impressed with all the people that we dealt with before, during and after the show. It is well put together, seems to run smoothly and is entertaining for all. He was able to give a little girl her birthday present on stage (an autographed guitar) and learned how to get donations for his raffle from local sponsors, then donated the money

Tinyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wallpaper & Variety (Across from Dairy Yum Yum in Ripley)

to the Lions Club in Peebles. What a great learning experience for Brad! He brought a crew of about 13 to the city/event that would not normally be there along with some fans & a huge crowd from Peebles and around town, & from the local Opry's.

Understanding Breast Cancer Each year, Mother's Day in the United States helps shed light on the problem of breast cancer. Heightened efforts at raising awareness of breast cancer around Mother's Day include the cooperation of many corporations, including Major L e a g u e Baseball, whose players use pink bats in a show of support for breast cancer victims and survivors. But breast cancer is an issue that extends beyond the month of May, and many people might be surprised to learn of breast cancer's prevalence. In the United States alone, breast cancer incidence in women is 1 in 8, or roughly 13 percent. In fact, among women in the U.S., breast cancer rates are higher than those of any cancer besides lung cancer. With such staggering figures, it's important for both women and men (who can also suffer from breast cancer) to gain a greater understanding of this deadly disease. What Is Breast Cancer? Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. Any type of cancer is the result of mutations in genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy. In a healthy body, the cells replace themselves in an orderly fashion, as

healthy new cells take over as old ones die out. When mutations occur, changed cells gain the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more similar cells and forming a tumor. In the case of breast cancer,

can-

cerous cells gradually invade n e a r b y h e a l t h y breast tissue and make their way into the underarm lymph nodes, which are small organs that filter out foreign substances in the body. If the cancer reaches the lymph nodes, it then has a pathway into other parts of the body. Upon diagnosis, a patient will be told what stage of breast cancer they are in, which tells how far the can-

cer has spread beyond the original tumor. Is Breast Cancer Hereditary? According to BreastCancer.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reliable, complete and current information about breast cancer, only 5 to 10 percent of cancers are due to an abnormality inherited from a parent. While all breast cancers are caused by a genetic abnormality, roughly 90 percent of breast cancer cases are the result of genetic abnormalities that are a result of the aging process and the wear and tear of everyday life. Can Breast Cancer Be Prevented? Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is always an i d e a l approach, but breast cancer is never the fault of the individual. A balanced diet, a lifestyle that includes abstaining from smoking and drinking alcohol in excess and regular exercise are all ways to stay healthy, but none will guarantee a woman or man will not get breast cancer. Are There Risk Factors for Breast Cancer? BreastCancer.org notes that there are factors a woman or man can control that might lessen their risk

Volleyball for a Cure Volleyball for the cure will be held Tuesday, October 2, at the North Adams High School. North Adams will be hosting Peebles. An auction is being planned between the JV and Varsity game. The approximate time is 6:00 p.m. All the proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Awareness. The community support is appreciated.

for breast cancer. Those risks include: * Weight. Postmenopausal women in particular can reduce their risk of breast cancer by maintaining a healthy weight. Fat tissue is the body's main source of estrogen after menopause, and having more fat tissue means higher estrogen levels, which increases breast cancer risk. * Diet. Many cancers are linked to diet, but studies have yet to show for certain which types of foods increase the risk for breast cancer. In general, it's good to restrict sources of red meat and other animal fats, such as fats from dairy products. Some studies

have shown that eating a lot of red and/or processed meats is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Eating a diet low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables is often recommended to reduce cancer risk. * Exercise. The American Cancer Society recommends engaging in 45 to 60 minutes of physical exercise 5 or more days per week, as evidence continues to mount that exercise can reduce breast cancer risk. * Alcohol and smoking. Alcohol limits the liver's ability to control blood levels of estrogen, which can increase risk of breast cancer. Similarly, smoking has

been associated with a small increase in breast cancer risk. BreastCancer.org also notes additional risk factors for breast cancer can include recent oral contraceptive use, stress and anxiety and exposure to estrogen. While all of the mentioned risk factors are within an individual's control, there are a host of additional factors beyond a person's control that can increase risk of breast cancer. These factors include age, family history, personal history, and race among others. For more information on breast cancer, visit www.breastcancer.org.

Birthday Remembrance James Blevins Today would have been such a special day, but now it brings sadness and sorrow. If we could share just one more day, if there was one more tomorrow, but we know that birthdays are a time for reflection. To look over the months that has past and we can't believe it's already been four months. The time has went by so fast, but we reflect on the memories of the happier times and in our hearts they will stay. We treasure each and every memory till we meet again someday. So we may say goodbye for now and blow you a kiss to heaven above, to wish you a Happy Birthday and send you all my love! We have been missing you. Happy Birthday daddy. Love your wife, kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

HEALTH M ATTERS Adams County Kid's Health Fairs

ACRMC Physician Receives the "Daniel Drake Humanitarian Award" Congratulations to Donald L. Nofziger, M.D. for being chosen to receive the Academy of Medicine Foundation's 2012 Daniel Drake Humanitarian Award! Pictured above is Dr. Nofziger , who received the award at the Academy's Annual Meeting/Fifty Year Physician Award Recognition Dinner on Thursday evening, September 20. The meeting was held at the National Underground Railroad

Freedom Center in downtown Cincinnati. Dr. Nofziger has been providing medical care for infants and children in Adams County since September, 2011 at the ACRMC Winchester Family Medicine office. He also maintains his privileges at The Childrens Medical Center of Cincinnati where he has been on staff for 39 years. Starting November 1, 2012 Dr. Nofziger's pediatric practice will be mov-

Beginning July 31, 2012 Adams County Children Services, Adams County Health Department, Adams County Job and Family Services, Adams County Medical Foundation, Inc., Adams County Regional Medical Center, Manchester Local Schools and Adams County Ohio Valley Schools joined together to offer four Kid's Health Fairs (KHF), one at each county high school. The health fairs were for Adams County kids, ages 3-18. Our total attendance, combined from the four schools, was 1,396 kids. Blood pressure, height, weight, scoliosis and vision screenings were performed free of charge to the participants. ACRMC personnel, EMS squad members from Seaman, Peebles and West Union, Southern State Community College nursing students, and students, as well as school personnel volunteered their time to assist with the screenings. The Health Department provided 126 immunizations and 2 lead tests. The West Union Spine Center Chiropractic, LLC provided scoliosis screening for all children. Volunteers from General Electric, Adams County Health Coalition, ACRMC Auxiliary, ACRMC personnel and school personnel provided assistance with physical activities and registration. Kacey Cluxton, from Primary Plus provided information about healthy eating habits. All of the participants of the Kid's Health Fair received the results of their screenings the day of the health fair and will receive a height/weight/BMI chart with the results from this year as well as the results from the past 2 years, if they attended the 2010 and 2011 health fairs. This chart will include their blood pressure results and will be helpful in tracking their child's progress over the years. The chart will be accompanied by a letter explaining each child's BMI results. Additional information concerning making good decisions about what we eat, drink and how we exercise will be included. Donations from local businesses and organizations made it possible to provide each child with a $20.00 school supply gift card. We hope to make a difference in the lives of the children of Adams County. Our goal is to grow healthier children in our community. Providing education to parents and children about healthier food and drink choices, as well as the importance of physical exercise is one step toward this goal. In addition to those mentioned above, we would like to thank the following businesses and organizations that helped make the Adams County Kid's Health Fair possible. Adams Brown Community Action Program, Adams Brown Healthy Communities, Adams County Building & Loan, Adams Rural Electric, Cherry Fork Presbyterian Women, Commac Foods (Taco Bell/KFC), First State Bank, Greene Chiropractic Center, InterFaith Association, Link Insurance Service, Lively Lady Campground, Manchester VFW, Molina Healthcare of Ohio, National Bank of Adams County, Richmond Insurance Agency, Walmart, West Union United Methodist Women, Wilson Home for Funerals.

ACRMC Medical Staff and Nursing Staff Complete Training ing to the Seaman Family Medicine office in Seaman, Ohio (formerly North Adams Medical Center).

Pictured above is nursing staff at ACRMC who received education from Pamela Kimmel RN, BSN, Telestroke Program Manager and her team from the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute, regarding the handling and use of the "robot" telemedicine system that will be utilized for the new STROKE protocol. at Adams County Regional Medical Center. The education of ACRMC medical staff and nursing staff was completed September 25, 2012, which made Adams County Regional Medical Center the third rural facility to be part of a new initiative established by University Hospital's Stroke Team. Through this joint effort with University Hospital, suspected stroke patients brought to the Adams County Regional Medical Center Emergency Department will be evaluated by both the emergency department physician on site and a member of University's Stroke Team using a new telemedicine system. Beginning September 25, 2012, patients arriving at ACRMC will continue to be cared for by ACRMC staff, using established best practices for stroke diagnosis and treatment. The new protocol allows the patient to also be evaluated by a University Hospital Stroke Team physician through the use of a high-definition video camera, monitor and specialized software mounted on a robot. Once the initial CT scan is completed, the new telemedicine system will be utilized, allowing for real-time, two-way audio/visual communication between the stroke specialist and the patient. By utilizing the telemedicine robot, the stroke team physician is able to view and communicate with the patient much like they were in the same room. The physician can see the patient's physical features, hear their speech and monitor their response to various commands, as well as speak firsthand with family members or caregivers. In addition, the stroke specialist is able to receive up to the minute data on lab results, vital signs and CT or other images. "Time is critical when dealing with a suspected stroke patient," explained ACRMC Emergency Department Medical Director, Dr. Bruce Ashley. "The sooner the patient can be evaluated, diagnosed and treatment initiated, the greater the potential for a more positive outcome." "The stroke team physicians are experts in their field. By using this telemedicine system, the specialist is brought to the patient in a matter of minutes". "Working collaboratively, the ACRMC Emergency Department physician and the University Hospital Stroke Team physician can then determine whether it is in the best interest of the patient to be transferred or to receive care at ACRMC." "The main thing to remember is that stroke patients need to be seen quickly," emphasized Dr. Ashley.. "If you or a loved one exhibit any of the warning signs of a stroke, please do not delay. Call 911 immediately." In the future, University Hospital's Stroke Team plans to implement the system at additional hospitals located outside of the I-275 loop. The following information is from the National Stroke Association website at www.stroke.org. Common stroke symptoms seen in both men and women: * sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg -- especially on one side of the body * sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding * sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes * sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination * sudden severe headache with no known cause Women may report unique stroke symptoms: * sudden face and limb pain * sudden hiccups * udden nausea * udden general weakness * sudden chest pain * sudden shortness of breath * sudden palpitations If you think someone may be having a stroke, act F.A.S.T. and do this simple test: F-FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? A-ARMS: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? S-SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange? T-TIME: If you observe any of these signs, call 911 immediately.
