Middlepm:t Village Council introduced a proposed ordinance regulating the placement of mobile homes in the village, which will further limit the age of mobile homes pennitted, and more closely regulate how they are installed. · The ordinance, which was given a first reading at Monday evening 's regular meeting, is largely inspired by regulations ·required by the state and federal govemc ment, relating to flood plain PlAY COVERALL BINGO ST.

Bronson Arroyo (1-3) worked six so]jd innings for the Reds, who · won their frrst series opener after losing the first nine. Adam Dunn and Brandon Phillips had 1111 RB'I apiece to help Cincinnati win three in a row for the frrst time this .s eason and even its record at 3-3 since Walt Jocl:etty became general manager. Rick Ankiel bit his fifth berne run for the Cardinals, for whom !Jooketty ser-ved as GM the previous 13 seasons before getting fired last October. Albert 'Pujols singled twice and walked, extending his hitting streak to 12 games, and bas reached base .in ail 27 , games to stan the seasBn. Alroyo allowed thFee nms on liix bits and struck: out six for ·his first victory since Sept. 12 against .the Cardinals. He had been 0-4 in eight outings since, including an 0-3 start to the season for the second time · in his car~. He entered with .a 7.56 ERA after failing to make it out of the fourth inning while allowing eight runs in his previous start, against Houston. Francisco Cordero allowed a bit in the ninth for his founh save in faur chances. The Reds bunched five hits in the second .and tlrlrd off Todd Wellemeyer (2-1), scoring twice · in each inning to go ahead 4-0. Encarnacion had an :RBI double in each inning. Encarnacion' s second RBl double put the Reds lihcad 4-0 and was a gift after le.f t fielder ·C hris Duncan iost his ,routine pop fly in the lights. Wellemeyer allowed only two hits in his last three innings, striking out five and walking two. He . bad been 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in 'h is first two starts at home this seasOn. Troy Glaus drew a basesloaded walt in tbe third, Ankiel hit his fifth homer . iu the fifth. and Cesar lmuis' oppoaite-fteld UI double in the sixth off a lideann 2-2 delivery from Arroyo cut the gap to 1 run.

MIDDLEPORT Middleport Village Council authorized a $350,000 line of credit through the Ohio. Water Development Authority for preliminary work on a planned sewer system upgrade. • Council also approved' a $138,100 contract with the Columbus engineering firm URS to complete pri:liminary survey work and develop accura~ pl~ns of the existing sewer system. Meeting Monday night. council approved an emergency ordinance providing for an interim financing loan for planning the $2.5 million projeCt. designed to separate the village ·s saniwry and storm sewers. The Ohio. Environmental Protection Agency has · approved preliminary plans for th e project and last month, council passed a resolution approving a ]qngterm control plan for submission to the EPA. The planning loan approved by co unci I Monday night will linance survey work and work at the actual outfalls to measure the amount of rain water discharged. That work is expected to be completed in early fall. and the project will then go into a final design phase . . The project involves. a new system for treating and conveying material from the village "s combined sanitary and stonn sewers to the outfalls in the 'Ohio River. The project is expected to be far more · affordable than separating the rwo systems. Mike Froemmer from the engineering firm URS said the interim financing loan approved Monday night will be available to the Yillage for five year>. URS will work with the village to secure a funding package of grants and loans to pay off the planning loan approved Monday and for construction. The new system i' expected to . be completed no later than - ~0 14. The village hope' to use funds for the project for a local match reqqired. for Lhe Tier II downtown revitalization program. Many cities villages a nd approYed for 'the project have used sewer and wat.er projects for the ir !peal match . The Middleport Development Group has decided to forego addition a! applications for funding until ' such a significant match is availab]£. • •• ;. I �' .

Which is why he wbo is a fan or compassion used the bully pulpit to provide a platform for a nahonal conversation on innovative approaches to savin!l faithbased education en the United States. You've no doubt heard about Catholic school closings. According to .the White House, between 2000 and 2006, almost 1,200 faith-based schools closed in America's inner cities. Tbe closings have thus far affected nearly 400,000 students in the United States. President Bush calls the alarming numbers a ••crisis." A? the summit, he srud: "They're places of learning where people are getting a good education and they •re beginning to close, to the extent that 1,200 of them have closed. Tbe impaCt of school closings extends far beyond the children that have to leave these classrooms; 1l:e closings place an added borden on innercity public schools that are Slru$!1ing. And these"School closmgs impoverish · our country by really denying a future of children a critical source of iearning not only about how to read and write, but about social justice." So what to do? 1l:e whole point of the summit was to put a national spOtlight on innovative aP,Proaches to k~p faith-based education alive and strong. The Catholic archdiocese or Memphis reopened schools that had closed with the help of $15 million in private-donor money. Ten years after seeking . ?o reclaim a stake in the communities they had abandoned for financial reasons, l ,400 children are attending the ••Jubilee" schools, with most of the students · at or below the poverty line. The University of Notre. Dame is an example of an institution · of higher education looking to the elementary and secondary schools an4 providing a service with their resources: a teacher-andprincipal training program, the · Alliance for Catholic Education. One author went through possibilities . for religious charter schools: You can't explicitly endorse a religion there, but you can accommodall! religion with government funds. That may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's another creative approach to solving a real problem. Bush shows the power of the president to lead. Not just as commander in chief. Not just signing bills into law. Sure, he's got concre?e policy proposals, his Pel! Grants for Kids being the most notable. He •s pushing to help end the "crisis," but what he did by holding and speaking at this summit, and speaking about school choice and faith-based education being at the heart of our modem-day ••civil rights" movement, was powerful. Most close to home, the summit set the stage as Congress prepares for a debate over the future of Opportunity Scholarships in the Distric;t of Columbia. But it also provided Americans with a . reminder · that the party of Lincoln still believes in freeing victims. · At. the same time as . the summit was gocng, presumpti~ Republican presidential nominee John McCain was 'on an "It'6 Tcme for Action Tour," visiting ..forgotten places" in Ameriea. Actually, on the exact day Bush spoke to thj: summit, McCain toufe!l Xavier, . the only predominately black Roman Catholic university in ~ · country, in Louisiana. This could be the start nf SOI\l6thin$. Throughout the week, stanmg out in Selma and talking about poverty i(: America, there was ~­ thing missing: He could have been more proactive and picked up the mantle of a modem-day civil rights leader.

Tbought for Today: ··More ~· on .t he wbole, are humbugged by believing nothing, than by believing too much."- P.T.

TODAY IN HISTORY Kathryn Lopez . able and it is unsustainable for our country." Which is why he wbo is a fan or compassion used the bully pulpit to provide a platform for a nahonal conversation on innovative approaches to savin!l faithbased education en the United States. You've no doubt heard about Catholic school closings. According to .the White House, between 2000 and 2006, almost 1,200 faith-based schools closed in America's inner cities. Tbe closings have thus far affected nearly 400,000 students in the United States. President Bush calls the alarming numbers a ••crisis." A? the summit, he srud: "They're places of learning where people are getting a good education and they •re beginning to close, to the extent that 1,200 of them have closed. Tbe impaCt of school closings extends far beyond the children that have to leave these classrooms; 1l:e closings place an added borden on innercity public schools that are Slru$!1ing. And these"School closmgs impoverish · our country by really denying a future of children a critical source of iearning not only about how to read and write, but about social justice." So what to do? 1l:e whole point of the summit was to put a national spOtlight on innovative aP,Proaches to k~p faith-based education alive and strong. The Catholic archdiocese or Memphis reopened schools that had closed with the help of $15 million in private-donor money. Ten years after seeking . ?o reclaim a stake in the communities they had abandoned for financial reasons, l ,400 children are attending the ••Jubilee" schools, with most of the students · at or below the poverty line. The University of Notre. Dame is an example of an institution · of higher education looking to the elementary and secondary schools an4 providing a service with their resources: a teacher-andprincipal training program, the · Alliance for Catholic Education. One author went through possibilities . for religious charter schools: You can't explicitly endorse a religion there, but you can accommodall! religion with government funds. That may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's another creative approach to solving a real problem. Bush shows the power of the president to lead. Not just as commander in chief. Not just signing bills into law. Sure, he's got concre?e policy proposals, his Pel! Grants for Kids being the most notable. He •s pushing to help end the "crisis," but what he did by holding and speaking at this summit, and speaking about school choice and faith-based education being at the heart of our modem-day ••civil rights" movement, was powerful. Most close to home, the summit set the stage as Congress prepares for a debate over the future of Opportunity Scholarships in the Distric;t of Columbia. But it also provided Americans with a . reminder · that the party of Lincoln still believes in freeing victims. · At. the same time as . the summit was gocng, presumpti~ Republican presidential nominee John McCain was 'on an "It'6 Tcme for Action Tour," visiting ..forgotten places" in Ameriea. Actually, on the exact day Bush spoke to thj: summit, McCain toufe!l Xavier, . the only predominately black Roman Catholic university in ~ · country, in Louisiana. This could be the start nf SOI\l6thin$. Throughout the week, stanmg out in Selma and talking about poverty i(: America, there was ~­ thing missing: He could have been more proactive and picked up the mantle of a modem-day civil rights leader. Obacna is not talking about real solutions that could lift poveny-stricke(l Americans out of a cycie of dependj:ncy.

Eventually, the original rough, dull diamond becomes a beautiful, clear, many faceted piece of art that is proudly d1splayed to the public. In Meigs Local, we strive to wort wilh the parents to transform !heir rough cut diamonds into that beauty to be proud of at graduation time. In order to make lhe transformation, we, as parents, teachers, administrators and Board of Education members, must give our diamoods the opportunity to shine.

The primary function of a school is to educate children . ·Education can be likened to a diamond in the rough. When that diamond is found (or born), it appears dull and has many rough edges. As lhat diamond is handled by the diamond cutter (parent, grandpareut, aunts; uncles. teachers) it becomes more smooth, shiny and clear. Eventually, the original rough, dull diamond becomes a beautiful, clear, many faceted piece of art that is proudly d1splayed to the public. In Meigs Local, we strive to wort wilh the parents to transform !heir rough cut diamonds into that beauty to be proud of at graduation time. In order to make lhe transformation, we, as parents, teachers, administrators and Board of Education members, must give our diamoods the opportunity to shine.

Walter Heinz has :been pastor at Sacred Heart : since 1991. : Sacred· Heart O!UJch was :completed in 1902, and is ·easily one of the most beau:tiful in Southeastern Ohio. So, too, is its Barcldtoff Organ, which was built by Carl Barckboff and the Barckhoff Church Organ Company and the American OrgaR Supply Company. The Barkhoff factory is believed to have moved to Pomeroy after building the Catholic church's organ. . Last year, the church installed a new state~f-the­ art Allen electronic organ, which is now used for most $ervices. An organ recital by the parish's two talented Organists, John A. Anderson and Carla Schuler, is planned for later this year. Sacred Heart Parish was founded in 1849 by 46 German Catholics who came to Pomeroy to work ,in 19thcentury coal mines and industry. The cornerstone of !he current building was laid 9n May 22, 1898. The sandstone church with its 157-foot spire w;ss completed the following year and .4blicated by the Very Rev. :Msgr. Specht, Administrator ' :(1( tbe Diocese of Columbus. :lllhe entire cost of the new :!(!lurch was $42 ,000. Today, .the classic Gothic church. is _priceless, and a constant reminder of the hard work , dedication and faith of our earnest Pomeroy settlers. .: . While the interior of. the :bUilding bas undergone a :IJI,lmber of changes brought ·:pn by changing lit11rgical peeds, there are still a number -()f items that are believed to ~ from the 1898 period. The D!lk pews, choir balcony, :wooden. altars and stained ' glass windows are all original. 'l}Je canvas paintings of the . 12 apostles (Mathias replaced :the betrayer Judas) also date ·back to the church's first days. :"These fragile canvases can be .seen in the ceiling vault. : Five wooden sanctuary · dmdles were refinished and psed for the first time in .JIUII.IY years at the Christmas The Delta Queen has become a familiar ·sight at the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park and is scnedUied tD dock 10 times in the comi~ months.

Walter Heinz has :been pastor at Sacred Heart : since 1991. : Sacred· Heart O!UJch was :completed in 1902, and is ·easily one of the most beau:tiful in Southeastern Ohio. So, too, is its Barcldtoff Organ, which was built by Carl Barckboff and the Barckhoff Church Organ Company and the American OrgaR Supply Company. The Barkhoff factory is believed to have moved to Pomeroy after building the Catholic church's organ. . Last year, the church installed a new state~f-the­ art Allen electronic organ, which is now used for most $ervices. An organ recital by the parish's two talented Organists, John A. Anderson and Carla Schuler, is planned for later this year. Sacred Heart Parish was founded in 1849 by 46 German Catholics who came to Pomeroy to work ,in 19thcentury coal mines and industry. The cornerstone of !he current building was laid 9n May 22, 1898. The sandstone church with its 157-foot spire w;ss completed the following year and .4blicated by the Very Rev. :Msgr. Specht, Administrator ' :(1( tbe Diocese of Columbus. :lllhe entire cost of the new :!(!lurch was $42 ,000. Today, .the classic Gothic church. is _priceless, and a constant reminder of the hard work , dedication and faith of our earnest Pomeroy settlers. .: . While the interior of. the :bUilding bas undergone a :IJI,lmber of changes brought ·:pn by changing lit11rgical peeds, there are still a number -()f items that are believed to ~ from the 1898 period. The D!lk pews, choir balcony, :wooden. altars and stained ' glass windows are all original. 'l}Je canvas paintings of the . 12 apostles (Mathias replaced :the betrayer Judas) also date ·back to the church's first days. :"These fragile canvases can be .seen in the ceiling vault. : Five wooden sanctuary · dmdles were refinished and psed for the first time in .JIUII.IY years at the Christmas The Delta Queen has become a familiar ·sight at the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park and is scnedUied tD dock 10 times in the comi~ months.

UETART FAlLS , Ohio - After achieving some permitting and planning milestones in -the past year, the American Municipal Power Generation Station project still has some bur. dies left to be cleared , but work is progressing on those fronts. American Municipal 'Power-Ohio, the organization behind the AMPGS project, is the . nonprofit. wholesale electric supplier and services provider for 122 ·member municipal electric systems in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, West V.irginia and Kentucky. . Groundbreak:ing at the Meigs County site is tentatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2009. Construction is slated to take appmximatelyfour and one~ half years and will · .e mploy approximately 1,600 woFkers at its peak, resulting in an estimated 2013 on-line target for the facility. . The facility witl also support 150 full-time employees after its completion with an additional 15 full-time positions at the fertilizer plant associated with the project When operational , it is estimated that the AMPGS will generate approximately $20 million annually for the Meigs Counry area. · The next step in construction planning for the facitity will be the selection of an Engi. neer-Procure~onstruct (EPC) contractor for the plant An EPC contractor oversees aU elements of design and construction of the facility. !Proposals were. solicited in JaniJlll)' and are currently being reviewed with fmal negotiations excpected to take place in the coming months. Of course. to connect the facility to the electric grid, transmission facilities must be con. structed and the process of procuring land for the.line is currently underway. The preferred roule for the transmission line traverses ·primarily througb wooded land. At the interconnection with the electric grid, some five miles north of the AMPGS site, a substation will . be built to handle the interchange. fwo key permitting milestones were reached in 2008. In February, the Ohio Environ; mental Protection Agency released i.ts final air permit-to-install notice and in March , the ·Ohio Power Siting Board issued a final plant certificate. The approvals capped months of . work by AMP-Ohio staff. . Additional needed permits include a final landfill permit for the plant, permits assocmted · to the aforementioned transmission line and various permits related .to ensuring water qual- ity. These permits include the landfill permit to install,1he National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, the Ohio Power Siting Boatd transmission certificale and US ·. Army Corps of Engineer permits for water quality and .the diseharge of Iii!! material., · Some 85 AMP-Ohio member communities have executed power sales agreements to take power from the AMPGS. Cleveland is the lar~est participant1n .t he project, followed · by Danville, Va., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Niles, Ohio, and Wadsworth, Ohio. ·. Despite some opposition , community support within Meigs Community ·has been considerable. Meigs County community members and elected officials have taken part in testimony in communities around the state that have considered the project and at formal : bearings such 11s. the Ohio Power Siting Board hearings. Congressman Chamie Wilson (00hio) and Ohio Representative Jimmy Stewart '(iR-92) in particular have aided .with · process by voicing support for the project. · Going forward, the process of.selecting an EPC contractor will continue with proposed milestones of providing a limited noticed to proceed to the selected EPC in July and a full · · notice to proceed in October. Additional information on the facility, including a description American Municipal Power-Ohio has this local office in Pomeroy while its home office is of the technolbgy to be used in the facility, can be found at www.amp-ohio.org/ampgs.php. located in Columbus. :Potential for identity theft a fact of life Cancel cards you don use : (MS) - Over the last half security number.

Within that 1,000 square feet expansion will also he two editions onto the existing building, one of ·which will allow easier handicapped accessibility and the other will house the drive thru facility as well as a couple new offices . Home National Bank President Bill Nease said he hopes the project wi 11 be completed by the end of the year. The main lobby will also be modernized with a new look to match the new technology and cutting-edge banking services the business already offers. Home National Bank services include online banking , overdraft protection, check imaging, bill pay and even payroll assistance. Nease said the decision to expand was made to "betteF Sf:nLI(_our current .customers" aiid of course, to attract new ones. Home National Bank is now sitting very close to some major economic development happening in Meigs County.-including a proposed coal mine just outside of 'Racine and the $2.9 billion power plant proposed by American Municipal PowerOhio for nearby Letart Falls. In addition . to modeni banking services, Home National takes pride in taking a small-town approach to banking, speaking face to face with customers who have specialized needs, particularly in the area of personal loans . Because the bank has no ·corporate offices hundreds of miles away; it can react quickly and locally to loan requests. The Home National Bank can trace· its roots back to l 910 when it was born out of a disagreement within the town's sole bank,.T he Racine Banking Com,plUly. Of co~rne the hatchet was ,buried years later when the two competing banks merged into one and into what is now known as Home National . By planning a half-million dollar expansion in downtown Racine, the bank ltas backed up its stance of staying rooted in the community. The bank also regularly makes donations to local organizations and works to raise funds for · scltolarships for seniors at . Southern High,'School. The bank also · has a branch located in Syracuse.

Again, this can seem •impJe, but worten; se~ :countless e-mails per day, iDd busy workers might n<?' recognize a message s ~ncy or intent and could therefore put it in the sljWk of things to ad~s latet. That, needless to say. only makes things more disorganized. ln addition. m~ate that inboxes and out xes be cleared out (or at I ast have e-mail s.tored els~­ where) after a set 81l10unt ilf time. This will make it easi~ er to find urgent messages when necessary, saving time and money in the process. Simply because it's an electroruc , and not a physical, mailbox doesn't mean it cannot grow cluttered. • Set oftke auJdelines: Cluttered desks are perhaps the b~st friend to disorganization . In addition, an office filled with cluttered desks does nat exactly give the impression of a precise, top-notch operation. Employen; can mandate a certain level of cleanliness in an office, limiting what can and can't be on a desk. The less extra' oeous material on a desk , the less likely an employee is to be disorganized. To combat . lost documents (and subsequently lost and wasted time). ,set up each office or cubicle with a designated in- and outbox for documents. All documents that have yet to be seen should be-plac!:d in the inbox, while employees should be discouraged from placing documents they've already examined back on their desk. • Promote time mar., - t : "Distribute planners .to employees so they cail better manage their time. PliiiUien; can he tbe more traditional desktop choices, or modem electronic handheld versions. Either way, productiv· ity often increases when workers can look at a list of things they have to accomplish , as they'll spend less time thinking about what it is they need to get done and more time doing it.

Again, this can seem •impJe, but worten; se~ :countless e-mails per day, iDd busy workers might n<?' recognize a message s ~ncy or intent and could therefore put it in the sljWk of things to ad~s latet. That, needless to say. only makes things more disorganized. ln addition. m~ate that inboxes and out xes be cleared out (or at I ast have e-mail s.tored els~­ where) after a set 81l10unt ilf time. This will make it easi~ er to find urgent messages when necessary, saving time and money in the process. Simply because it's an electroruc , and not a physical, mailbox doesn't mean it cannot grow cluttered. • Set oftke auJdelines: Cluttered desks are perhaps the b~st friend to disorganization . In addition, an office filled with cluttered desks does nat exactly give the impression of a precise, top-notch operation. Employen; can mandate a certain level of cleanliness in an office, limiting what can and can't be on a desk. The less extra' oeous material on a desk , the less likely an employee is to be disorganized. To combat . lost documents (and subsequently lost and wasted time). ,set up each office or cubicle with a designated in- and outbox for documents. All documents that have yet to be seen should be-plac!:d in the inbox, while employees should be discouraged from placing documents they've already examined back on their desk. • Promote time mar., - t : "Distribute planners .to employees so they cail better manage their time. PliiiUien; can he tbe more traditional desktop choices, or modem electronic handheld versions. Either way, productiv· ity often increases when workers can look at a list of things they have to accomplish , as they'll spend less time thinking about what it is they need to get done and more time doing it.

Ohio GALLlPOus ; Ohio The Holzei Center for Cancer Care (HCCC), )OC)ItPAl at 170 Jackson Pike iii Gallipolls, is proud to offer an advanced canoo: treatment technique for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy: . Unlike traditional CT scans (lhree-dimensiooal) and Xrays (two-dimensional), respiratory gating brings a fourth dimension to radiation 'lberapy treatment by making it possible to place radiation beams precisely and trnck the position of lumors that move when a patient breathes. As a result, these .precisely placed . beams can be focused to earefully tuget cancer ceUs without banning siii1Uililding healthy tissue. · Before respiratory gating, · · margins of anywhere from . three to five centimeters were used around a tmnor to ensure adeQuate coverage, allowing radiation bealfls to kill not only cancerous tis,ues, but surrounding heallhy tissues as well. Respiratory gating allows this margin to be decreased by pinpointing exactly where a tumor is located, even when it is moved due to natural breathing motions. The result is a more exact beam to eliminate cancerous tissues while sparing liJi much heallhy tissue as possible. "Respiratory gating is lhe illOst adv.anoed and powerful non-invasive ·teclmique for treating cancer ~y." said . Ken Moore, ex,e,Cuti\;e director of the Holier Center for Cancer Care: "'We llave lbe · ability to. successfully treat ' cancerous tissues with pinpoint accuracy and spare .as much healthy tissue surrounding the tumor as we can. ..

Ohio GALLlPOus ; Ohio The Holzei Center for Cancer Care (HCCC), )OC)ItPAl at 170 Jackson Pike iii Gallipolls, is proud to offer an advanced canoo: treatment technique for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy: . Unlike traditional CT scans (lhree-dimensiooal) and Xrays (two-dimensional), respiratory gating brings a fourth dimension to radiation 'lberapy treatment by making it possible to place radiation beams precisely and trnck the position of lumors that move when a patient breathes. As a result, these .precisely placed . beams can be focused to earefully tuget cancer ceUs without banning siii1Uililding healthy tissue. · Before respiratory gating, · · margins of anywhere from . three to five centimeters were used around a tmnor to ensure adeQuate coverage, allowing radiation bealfls to kill not only cancerous tis,ues, but surrounding heallhy tissues as well. Respiratory gating allows this margin to be decreased by pinpointing exactly where a tumor is located, even when it is moved due to natural breathing motions. The result is a more exact beam to eliminate cancerous tissues while sparing liJi much heallhy tissue as possible. "Respiratory gating is lhe illOst adv.anoed and powerful non-invasive ·teclmique for treating cancer ~y." said . Ken Moore, ex,e,Cuti\;e director of the Holier Center for Cancer Care: "'We llave lbe · ability to. successfully treat ' cancerous tissues with pinpoint accuracy and spare .as much healthy tissue surrounding the tumor as we can. ..

Emergency Prepal'edness O'Bleness has enhanced its preparedness procedures for a possible influenza pandemic, as well as for other emergencies that could affect the health of community members. The hospital participates in cOunty- and region-wide drills specifically designed to assess and improve preparedness· for emergency situations. As part of O' Bleness' continuing involvement in emergency preparedness, a trailer containing a portable decontamination unit to be used in emergencies is stored at the hospitaL Development Counc:il . O'Bleness created a Development Council to serve as a liaiSon between the hospital and the communities ·served. The. goal of the council is to build and strengthen relationships that enoourage charitable giving and community support for the. hospital. The Development Council promotes education about hospital services, fundraising and "friendraising" as the more thl\11 60 Council volunteers make contacts with community members. The DeveloPment Council .will continue to encourage col)lJDunity generosity that leads to enhanced hospital services and benefits, and will enoourage individuals, businesses and orgariizations to become involved with die hospital. The addition of digital breast .imaging •to O'Bleness' imaging capabilities 'is the goal. for fundraising planned by the O'Bleness Development Council. A new digital mammography system wiU replace conventional film technology for breast imaging at a cost of approximately $500,000. The Guild ofO'Bleness has contributed $55,000 to the dig1tal- ma.rnrtlography campaign. Digital mammography has the capacity to serve 30 percent more patients, since a digitized image eliminates film-development time. Digitization also allows test results to be sent easily to specialists for a second opinion or surgical planning. Michael Sostarich, former vice president for student affairs at Ohio University, is the Development CounCil chair. Community members who are committee chaits include: Russ Noms, annual support: Jodie Daugherty. hospital employee annual support; Michael Mullins, business relations; Dorothy Schey, community relations; ·Mark Snider, planned giving; and Marty and Gary North , special prospects.
