Health Department appeals to November voters Vol. 151, Issue 42

Strict government mandates could leave the county without critical health services BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

Are Adams County residents in danger of losing their local Health Department? The short answer is yes! The longer answer – yes, if the department fails to the meet the state standards required for accreditation. The Ohio Board of Health has mandated that all county health departments become accredited – a lengthy and costly process which places the very existence of many rural health departments in jeopardy. Every county health department in Ohio must pay an initial $14,000 application fee, according to

Dr. William Hablitzel, Commissioner of the Adam's County's Health Department. "In cities and larger counties that application fee isn't an issue," Hablitzel explains. "The money we get to take care of the community and the people comes from the villages and the townships, and they can't give anymore, they've given their all." The current funding provided by the county's villages and townships will be inadequate to meet the bill for accreditation, so this November Adams County voters are being asked to pass a county-wide, fiveyear, .05 mill health services levy to ensure that coun-

ty residents will continue to have local Health Department services. Additionally, Hablitzel says that funding the Health Department through a levy will allow townships and villages to keep more of their own money for the benefit of their citizens. So what will it cost? The average Adams County property owner should expect to pay about $14 a year, less than a nickel a day. In return the community benefits from the basic, but critical services provided by the Health Department including: immunizations for children and school nurses, a free clinic for the uninsured and under-insured, inspections of retail food

Wearable robots are designed to work with humans and improve performance BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

NASA has given a whole other meaning to "lending a helping hand". Scientist and techs from the Johnson Space Center in Houston recently visited the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion plant in Piketon to present one of the latest advances in robotic technology, the RoboGlove. The glove is basically a wear-

able robot featuring an exomuscular design that includes four sensors in the fingertips which can be fine-tuned to the individual user. Kim Browning of Peebles, a RadCon Tech at the plant had the opportunity to try out the glove. "It was amazing," Browning said. "As you grab something, the glove increases your grip strength, and when you want to release,

operations, septic systems, swimming pools, hotels, and campgrounds, tracking and preventing the spread of communicable diseases such as the flu, and the ability to respond to emergency situations such as floods and severe storms. In short, the problems they solve makes them the government agency that the public cannot safely do without. So, what happens if the levy doesn't pass?

"The director of the Ohio Department of Health has made it clear that he will have our responsibilities reassigned to other county health departments," said Hablitzel. "That's what we risk if we do not become accredited, having outsiders and other communities deciding what happens in our county." Hablitzel says he prefers a "neighbors helping neighbors" approach at the Health Department. "The

state rules and codes have to be followed," he explains. "But there's also ways to meet the spirit of the rules so that it fits the community, and that's what we're always trying to do. When we go out to inspect a septic system for instance, if repairs are needed, we will often call the Office of Economic Development and try to find a grant to help the people find funding for the repairs to their system. That's the kind of service and attention to the community that I don't think we'll see if we have to bring in outsiders from other health departments to do the job."

The robotic demonstrations were part of the Department of Energy's "Science of Safety" workshops. During the event, Browning and other personnel at the Portsmouth plant partnered with expert

roboticists and researchers from universities, private industry and non-profit research organizations. "It was a collaboration of science and health and safety personnel to work more effectively and get the job

done safely, and in a timely manner," said Browning. The event included 12 demonstrations from participating universities, National Laboratories, other government agencies

Preparing for Flu Season West Union Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Defender

The flu season typically spans the fall and winter months in the United States, with the illness peaking between December and March. Now is the time to prepare. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. The illness can be mild to severe and some infections can result in hospitalization or even death. There are actually four types of influenza viruses. Type A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics almost every year. Influenza type C viruses cause mild respiratory illness and are not associated with Preparing for epidemics. Type D viruses are primarily found in cattle and are not known to cause human illness. Symptoms of influenza often develop suddenly and include fever, body aches and muscle pain, headache, sore throat, dry cough, and fatigue. The body aches and pains are often severe. Nausea and vomiting are not typical, but can be seen in children. In most healthy people, symptoms resolve in 5-7 days, the worst of the symptoms lasting 3-4 days. The fatigue and dry

cough though, can take a week or more to fully resolve. Influenza generally travels from person to person through the air, although touching oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, nose or mouth after touching a contaminated surface may also spread the illness. It was previously thought that influenza virus traveled only a short distance by large particle droplets during coughing or sneezing, but recent studies have shown that the virus can spread up to 6 feet from an infected person via minute particles released in the air during talking and breathing. It can take one to four days after being exposed to influenza to develop

symptoms of the disease. Adults may be able to infect other people beginning 1 day before their symptoms start and up to five to seven days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Getting a yearly flu vaccineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which will be discussed in a future articleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the single best way to protect you and your family from influenza. Other preventative actions include avoiding close contact with sick people, frequent hand washing with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and refraining from touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you get the flu, stay home from school or work and do not return until you have been fever free for 24 hours. Call your doctor to see if antiviral drugs might be appropriate for you. Antiviral drugs, if started early in the illness, can lessen the severity and shorten the duration of influenza. Flu shots and more information about influenza are available at the Adams County Health Department, (937) 5445547.

Supporting the Health Department Levy To The Editor:

continue to provide many needed health care services that our residents use on a daily basis. Some of the nursing services include adult and childhood immunizations, BCMH (assists children with special health care needs), school health nursing, travel immunizations,

communicable disease control, tuberculosis tests, pneumonia vaccines, etc. The Health Department also provides environmental health services, birth and death records, and community health promotion and planning. I have the utmost respect for the professionalism of

the Adams County Health Department staff and board. PLEASE VOTE YES on NOVEMBER for the citizens of Adams County.

we would do odd jobs or sell pop bottles for spending money. Many values you learn when you are young stay with you forever. One of the best things we had were the small country stores with the old metal pop coolers. We

could go in and get those big bottles of red creme soda that were ice cold and so good. It seems like a simple little thing but it was really special to us. Our parents didn't have to worry about us being subjected to such things as alcohol sales because

they didn't sell it. I guess the ones before us thought it wise not to compromise their values or maybe they just sat down and counted the real costs. Maybe we should too.

It is appropriate to remember that the people pay for the costs of the election and the salary of the office holders, giving their interests primary over the private ambition of a candidate or party committee. The Republican Party is a private organization, made up o f private citizens. It is a serious offense for one of its committees to deny other people the vote in choosing their elected officials. Because the consequences of corrupting the democratic process wound all of the people who depend on its integrity, it would be better if the Republican committee members failed to accomplish their ambition, the argument of being unprepared for the contingency of needin g an alternate candidate not withstanding. The abridgement of the equal protection extends to the men who have identified themselves as candidates for the office of County Commissioner, in that they shoulder the personal costs of their commitment to enter office through the election process; while, if the Republican ballot manip-

ulation succeeds, one of the commissioners seated after the election, thoug h he chose to be unnamed on ballot, would enter office by an appointment made by a Republican committee, without the expense of an election campaign. A contract of rapport develops between the people and the candidates who have won their confidence and their vote that inspires people to good works during the term of office. Trust in the leadership develops because the people can see that their vote transforms a private citizen, one of their own, from a candidate to an elected public official, a leader. The Republican Committee's attempt to by-pass the trust building that occurs because of the election process, distances the public office from the people, who see the appointment as the objective of a small group of operators within the party system. It would be better to fail the ballot manipulation outright on le gal grounds before the election, rather than allow it to jettison the trust and cooperation that the process was designed to

build between elected officials and the electorate. Ambition can obscure a lot of things, but good laws rely on clarity, and good public administration demands attention to the law and awareness that every action is held to a standard of truth by accountability in the public record . It seems misguided to use the procedures designed for fairness in ways they were not intended, because someone had to think about how they could twist what is straightforward into an advantage for themselves. We did this playing baseball as boys, making up the rules as we went along, arguing (and lying) about strikes and balls, and fair and foul balls, just to win. Government has to be different. People's lives depend on it. Just government, at very level, stands on the people's trust in the Constitution, in the laws and procedures of order, and in the people they have elected.

Before our country changed, life was carefree and fun. You could drive up to an airport front entrance, unload, walk non-stop with bags down the terminal ramps, up to the gates, through he metal detectors, and board. Imagine that-so easy. I should know, I‘ve been on my fair share of planes. Once while running late, a hostess held the door open as I charged towards her, dragging my bags and screaming for her to “wait!” If I tried that today, I’d

be a suspect and shot down, not that anyone can get that far without being scanned, ID’d, waiting for hours and stripped of essentials. So what is my point you ask? Times change you say, it will never be like it was. Terror happens, it is the new normal. people get shot, stabbed, and blown up. How can we stop it? Well, our present administration isn’t going to stop it. Not now, not later. You see, they accept us as acceptable collateral damage. Part of the process which

happens, as they advance their agenda to multi-cultualize us, regardless as to how, they get it done. If we die, it is worth it to them, it’s for the greater good, which expands other ideologies and religions throughout our country and the world. Our occasional deaths are just numbers. Not to mention, these newcomers vote for them. Ladies, we have a Godgiven right to defend ourselves and this is our last chance. There are many reasons why I love Donald Trump. He has a plan. he says, let’s hunker down, become energy independ-

ent, secure our borders and investigate thoroughly newly arriving people. Send back the trouble makers and let in the gratefully here. No, he is not God and he can’t do it all, but like me, he remembers the good times and he has the heart, the will, and the love for our country to bring back some of the security we have lost and make America safe and great again.

Oliver Township voters be aware. We are being asked to approve a permit for Murphin Ridge Inn and Restaurant to sell liquor higher than 21% on Sundays, in addition to wine and beer. This is a change from the current license. I embraced the Inn and Restaurant when I moved in to the neighborhood in 2010 and really enjoyed the former owners, Daryl and Sherry McKinney. I

ate there many times and recommended the inn and cabins for out-of-town company wishing to stay over. Recently I called the current owners to make a dinner reservation. I was told I could not get a reservation for Tuesday or any other night the following week. No explanation. Two days later I was with friends who called and were able to make reservations for the exact

day and time I had requested and been denied. Since I am a neighbor, I went in to speak with the owner.

Count the costs of voting for alcohol sales To the Editor,

As someone who has lived in Liberty Township most of my life I've learned there are some things many of us have in common. Growing up there wasn't much money so as kids

Voting privileges cannot be legally abridged by political maneuvers: the costs are too great To the Editor,

By their recent ballot manipulation the Republican Central Committee intends to deny the people equal participation in the vote for all three offices of the Board of County Commissioners, and tries to take the privilege of filling one those seats to itself by engineering an appointment. The motives of the Republican committee for this ballot manipulation, whether to maintain a majority on the B oard of Commissioners, by giving a seated commissioner a better chance of competing with Democrat Mr. Richard M. Dryden, do not justify the abridgement of the voting privileges of the electorate they create. The motive to win always exists in politics, but it is never sufficient to justify political maneuvering that abridges the voting privileges of the people. That undermines the foundation of democrac y. The abridgement of the right to vote and of equal protection by the law is specially proscribed in the Constitution of the United States.

Winchester Happenings

BY JOYCE PORTER AND FLORENCE BRYSON

The annual Halloween Carnival is scheduled for Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m. (immediately following trick-or-treat) in the W3CU gym. This event is free. We will have inflatables, a raffle, cake auction, and costume contest. Plans are in the making for a hayride, possibly through our haunted cemetery. The Knothole league will be serving a chili supper beginning at 5:30 p.m. for a nominal donation. For all you folks who like to bake, we need donations for the cake auction, with 100% of the proceeds going toward supporting our community events. This year we also made a generous donation to the Village for new Christmas decorations. We are in need of volunteers to help set up and decorate tables on Thursday evening. Our prayers go out to Matt Johnson whose mother passed away last week. Judy Johnson, age 72, is survived by her husband Jerry, Sr., children Cynthia Ocampo of Seaman, Matt Johnson of Winchester, Jeannine Johnson of Hillsboro, Jerry Wayne Johnson, Jr. of Wilmington and several grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, William Dale and Blanche Elizabeth Thompson. There are certainly lots of people in our community who continue to need our prayers and support.

Wylie

From page 1 “I don't see how she made it,” says Wylie, “She worked till 1 a.m. some nights. Before I went to bed, I'd stand and feed her dinner because she wouldn't stop to eat.” Wylie says she got her work ethic from her mother. “I was brought up to believe that if you're able to get up, walk around, and get dressed, then you're able to come to work,” she says. “We were taught that you have to keep up, but as I said, I worked for my mother, and I've never worked anyplace else.” Customers at Ruby's walk into a tiny waiting room that was the original beauty shop opened by Wylie's mother 68 years ago. Now it is a shrine to her memory. The vintage chairs lining the walls all came from Mrs. Potts' original salon, the painted walls are decorated with her mother's state licenses, photos, and a plaque recognizing her 55th year in business. Mrs. Potts worked another seven years in the shop before retiring at the age of 80 for health reasons. Wylie has no intention of following suit. “I won't retire until all my customers are gone, then I'll consider it, but as long as I'm able, I'll be up here

On Thursday, Oct. 20, (third Thursday every month) W3CU Compassion Ministries will be hosting the food and clothing program from 2:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the building adjacent to the church. The nutrition education program will begin in the main church at 1:30 p.m. hosted by Marsha McCormick. If you have questions about eligibility for the program, please call 6950025. The United Methodist Women met at the church fellowship room on Monday evening Oct. 10. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the tables were decorated in pink. Diane Lewis had the devotions before the food prepared by the committee was served. The President, Kathy Willman then introduced the speaker for the evening, Beverly Mathias from the Adams County Health Department. She gave a very interesting and informative talk about cancer and asked if anyone who was a cancer survivor would share their story and several did. A short business meeting followed. Clipboards were passed around for people to sign up for the

from Tuesday to Saturday, ” she says laughing. “Until then, I'm going to try to keep up with myself, and stand behind the chair, and give people advice.” Wylie wasn't always enthusiastic about being a beautician. “I didn't want to go to beauty school,” she says. “I had to work in my mother's shop when I was a little girl. My job was picking hairpins up off the floor with a magnet every evening, so I was really tired of it.” Graduating from high school at 17 years old, she says she didn't have many options. “I wanted to leave home, everyone does at that age,” she said. “So, I went to live with my aunt in Dayton and I went to beauty school.” During her training Wylie returned home every weekend to work in her mother's shop. “Mother would try to teach me how to do things her way, and I'd tell her 'Mother, I'm going to beauty school and I have to do things the way they're teaching me. When I'm out of beauty school, you can teach me your way.” Through the years, both she and her mother have given many other young beauticians a start in their busy shop. “My mother was very good about that, many of them are still working,” Wylie says, but adds that it

Seventeen members and one guest brought candy to the meeting to be given out for Trick or Treat. October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we need to support our local victim’s advocacy program (Kim Newman, Prosecutor’s Office) by wearing purple. Winchester’s Past (Florence Bryson): Lucille Wheatley had a daughter Eula Mae Swick in 1925 in Winchester. She married Carl Rudisill before 1934. Carl was from West Virginia but he, his mother, two brothers and a married sister were in the 1930 census in Winchester. Carl was listed as a farmer and his brothers were in school. All of them except the two brothers were back in West Virginia by 1934 and Carl was working as a coal miner. The brothers graduated from Winchester High School, William in 1935 and Woodrow "Rudy" in 1937. They lived with an aunt while going to school. Rudy was an outstanding basketball player and Winchester won the county championship in 1936 and 1937. Rudy went on to college at Holbrook in Manchester. Red Roush and he were in the same class at Winchester and at Holbrook and both played basketball and football.

is becoming more difficult for stylist to succeed in business. “So many have quit the business that were so good,” she says, “In beauty work you have no insurance, and today insurance is the main thing.” At 80, Wylie is considered a fount of wisdom by customers who bypass the waiting area to gather in the salon. “She's always willing to help,” says Grooms. “If you have something on your mind and you need to talk to somebody, you can talk to her.” People who come seeking advice from Wylie don't always hear what they want to hear. She says she tells them the truth: “I love them, and when you truly love somebody, you have the right to tell them the truth, even it it's good or bad, or it hurts.” Concerning beauty shop gossip, Wylie shrugs and says, “We don't know what goes on under the dryers.” She relates tales of angry customers calling her mother to complain that they were the subject of shop gossip. Mother would tell them, “It may have been told, but I didn't hear it.” Wylie says that after she expanded the shop's space it became impossible to hear customers talking. “We don't hear a thing,” she says, “And besides, all the gossip comes from barber shops, not beauty salons.”

From page 1 and industrial research organizations. Members of USW Local 689 participated in the demonstrations and provided extremely useful feedback to the developers. In addition to the robotic glove, Browning and her coworkers got a close up inspection of "FirstLook" and "PackBot" robots. The FirstLook robots are designed for rugged use and can perform a visual inspection of an area and communicate with one another by radio. In unknown and potentially dangerous emergency situations, the FirstLook provides information from greater distances, thereby ensuring the safety of responding personnel. The PackBot, built by Endeavor Robotics senses chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive devices. It also provides HazMat detection and mapping, and has been battletested by the military. Browning admits she had some reservations about meeting with the NASA techs. "We weren't sure how well they'd communicate with us," she said. "But, they listened to our ideas because they want to know how their products should be adapted to work in our situation at the Portsmouth plant."

Memorable experience for West Union, North Adams boys BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

Even though the final results may not have been what they hoped for, last Friday and Saturday will be two days that a group of young men from West Union and North Adams will not soon forget. They spent those two days playing 36 holes of golf as part of an elite group of golfers, those competing in the OHSAA Division III State Tournament at the North Star Golf Club in Sunbury, Ohio. When you are playing in the state tourney, the competition is pretty steep , but the Dragons were making their consecutive trip to state so the nerves may have been a little calmer than those of the North Adams boys, but

both teams acclimated themselves well and took home a lifetime of memories. The state championship went to Cincinnati Seven Hills while the individual state champion was Columbiana's Jared Wilson, who shot 71 on both days for a 36-hole total of 142, winning the title by six strokes. For West Union, the top two golfers in state play were dead even after 26 holes, with Craig Horton closing out his high school career with an 88 on the first day and an 83 on the second for a 171 total. Even with Horton was Elijah McCarty, who went 82-89 and also finished at 171. Jacob Pell was next for West Union, shooting 85 and 93 to finish at 178, with senior Tyler Fowler

On this night, it was the home team that found themselves down by two sets as West Union came to town and took set one 25-19 and set two 25-21. With their backs to the wall, the Lady Indians came back with a fury, winning the third set 2520 and then the fourth, 2513. That set up the always exciting and decisive fifth set which fittingly ended on a serve by Peebles senior Brittany Lloyd as the Lady Indians took the set and the match, 15-11. “We really played a great first two sets,” said West Union head coach Debbie McClanahan. “After that, we just seemed to run out of steam.” After the match, the three seniors from both teams were honored-from West Union, Kendall Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender Gallowitz, Brittany Caldwell, and Gloria It’s a battle at the net between Peebles’ Tatum Arey and West Union’s Kiersten Rowe in action from last week’s varsity volleyball match in Peebles, won by the See Volleyball / 8 Lady Indians in five sets.

North Adams ends regular season with two shutout wins BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER

It was an impressive regular season for Coach Dave D’Avignon and his North Adams Lady Devils soccer squad, but that is all behind them now as they have their sights set on a postseason run. North Adams finished the regular season at 11-2-3, 61 in the Southern Hills Athletic Conference with their only defeat coming to SHAC champion Lynchburg, and the Lady Mustangs were the only SHAC team to score on the Lady Devils in 2016. That last stat mirrors the fine season of Lady Devils’ goalkeeper Madee Shipley, who broke her own record (one that she had set twice), with nine shutouts in 2016.

Shipley also holds the NAHS career record with 25 shutouts, one which she will add to next year in her senior season. The final two of those “clean sheets” came in the final two regular season contests for the Lady Devils as they hosted Piketon on Oct. 11 and came away with a 6-0 win and three days later hosted West Union, where they posted a 9-0 victory. In the Piketon win, junior Lakyn Hupp had her second hat trick of the season (she would add her third in the win over WUHS), and senior Kitasha Mesmer had three assists, adding to her school record, now totaling 38 in her four years. “Piketon is a first-year program just getting used to varsity play,” said Coach

D’Avignon. “They fought hard and did a lot of things well. We were able to substitute liberally and get everyone a lot of playing time.” On Friday, Oct. 14, the Lady Devils hosted a very game West Union squad, with a group of just 11 Lady Dragons who play their hearts out for 80 minutes without the luxury of substitutions, as opposed to the North Adams available bench. The Lady Devils got three goals in the first half, the first by Mesmer on a beautiful shot from a tight angle into the top right corner of the net, then added goals by Hupp and another by Mesmer. The second half saw North Adams pull away, with three more goals from Hupp, one by Allison Harper, and a pair from Breanna Piatt, including the game’s final score on a nice left-footed kick that got past West Union goalie Caitlyn Cooper. “It has been a good season for us,” added Coach D’Avignon. “There are a few games that we would like to have back, but that is always the way it is. I am proud of my girls for earning a number two tournament seed and a second place SHAC finish. Now it is on to the tournament.” The North Adams tourney run began on Oct. 18 when they again faced Piketon in a sectional final, with a trip to the districts in Waverly on the line. The Lady Dragons began their postseason a day earlier, hosting Northwest on Monday, Oct. 17.

Dragons

From page 8

Dragons ran into more bad luck when Neal collided with the Lions' goalie and ended up with a bloody nose, and later Zane Kingsolver and a Fairfield player ran hard into each other, forcing Kingsolver to the sideline, leaving West Union playing 9 vs. 11. The Lions took full advantage, scoring two goals while the Dragons were shorthanded. The two injured players were able to return, giving the home team a full lineup on the field, but according to Coach Hunter, Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender “they were never really able to find a rhythm.” Fairfield scored again West Union goalie Mikala Wolke (52) goes low to to lead 3-1 and in the stop this shot by North Adams’ Lakyn Hupp (6). game's final minutes, Hunter shifted his lineup around to allow his eight seniors to move to the front and play together as a unit one final time as the clock ran out on their 2016 campaign. “Although it was a humbling defeat for us, Fairfield certainly earned their win today,” added Coach Hunter. The Dragons closed their season with a record of 5-9-3, but they are a team that has put themselves on the radar of a lot of opposing squads for the 2017 campaign.

"I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 34:4

Phyllis Jane Lloyd Young was born to William Taylor and Grace Lee (Wasson) Lloyd on December 2, 1929 in Liberty Township. God called her home on May 31, 2016 at the age of 86 at her home surrounded by her loved ones. Phyllis was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Howard "Sparky" Young and two sons-in-law; David Newman and Ronnie Bradford. She is survived by her three loving daughters; Marilyn Francis (Ed), Connie Phelps (Tim), and Debbie Newman (Larry), all of West Union; one sister; Virginia Satterfield of West Union; three grandchildren; Sarah Newman and Rachel Newman both of West Union and Wesley Newman (Whitney) of Lawshe in Adams County; three great-grandchildren; Alisha Hargett of West Union and Walker and Wylie Newman of Lawshe; sisters and brothers in law, several nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends. Phyllis married Howard "Sparky" Young on October 17, 1953. They enjoyed 47 wonderful years together before his death on February 18, 2001. She was a loving mother to her three girls; Marilyn Sue, Connie Lee and Deborah Ann and was always there to help when needed. She was loved dearly by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a graduate of West Union High School, Class of 1947. She was a former member of Liberty Chapel Methodist Church in Liberty Township and current member of the West Union Christian Union Church where she had served as president of Ladies Aide and a member of the Care Team. She enjoyed sending birthday and anniversary cards to church members and tried to remember all the sick. She and Virginia Grooms were Advisors together for the Cook, Sew and Grow 4-H club in West Union for several years. Phyllis enjoyed working at Blake Pharmacy and Blake's Hallmark. She retired from Blakes after 42 years. She loved being manager at the Hallmark Shop where she took pride in meeting her customers' needs and keeping the store clean and organized. She appreciated her coworkers and they respected her dedication. Phyllis spent the last two months of her life earnestly waiting on God to take her home. Her body was frail and her spirit weak, but her love for the Lord and desire to make heaven her home was strong. She knew what was waiting on her. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

CARD OF THANKS We would like to thank everyone for texts, phone calls, Facebook comments, flowers, food, visits, donations to West Union Christian Union Church and Hospice of Hope Ohio Valley and attendance at Mom's visitation/funeral. All acts of kindness will be remembered for years to come. A special thanks to Lafferty Funeral Home for their help during the service, Hospice of Hope Ohio Valley for all the excellent care during Mom's illness and the pall bearers. A huge thank-you goes to the West Union Christian Union Church for all their support, the delicious funeral meal, and especially Pastor Lee for his visits and comforting words at the funeral. We would also like to thank our husbands for carrying out responsibilities at home during the time we were away caring for Mom. May God bless you all, Marilyn Francis, Connie Phelps, Debbie Newman

● Never smoke in bed or near an open oxygen source, gas stove or other flammable object. ● When cooking, don’t leave pots and pans unattended. Use a timer to remind you of food in the oven. Avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking. ● Don’t overload electrical outlets or extension cords. The Senior Services Levy with a .20 mill increase will be on the Nov. 8 ballot. Our agency receives money from this levy to help with our operating expenses and to provide senior citizens with homecare and/or transportation services. Without this levy, our agency would not be able to provide these much needed services that help seniors stay in their homes and get the medical care that they need. The .20 mill increase is levy money that would go directly to ABCAP to support the Meals on Wheels program for Adams County. If you have any questions, please stop by our agency. MediGold, a supplement to Medicare, will have a seminar to learn more about MediGold as well as sign-up at the following location:
