U.S. measles-free status threatened as Valley cases increase

Measles continues to spread in northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania as international health officials meet to decide if the United States will lose its measles-free status. When the Pan American Health Organization meets this week, it’s expected to decide whether the U.S. will retain the measles elimination status it earned in 2000 or, as many observers expect, it will be revoked after more than a year of continuous measles transmission.

LANCASTER − A U.S. Navy veteran James Hanley has collected a lifetime of memories. But the surprise that awaited him during his September Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., brought him to tears. That's because his family in Virginia surprised him with a visit when he arrived in Washington. "It was wonderful," Hanley, 89, said. I'll never forget it. It was a tearjerker. My family met me. They came up from Virginia and met me at the Iwo Jima (monument). It was a surprise because I didn't know they were doing that. Oh my gosh. I teared up." Hanley and his fellow veterans got see a lot of the sites in Washington, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Naval memorial, the World War II memorial, the Korean War memorial, the Vietnam Wall and much more. Hanley served from 1955 to 1990. He joined upon his high school graduation in Youngstown. "I wanted to make something out of myself," Hanley said.

New Ohio public assistance verification program arrives in Portage

The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services is using a new system to verify income and employment for those applying for public assistance. When Portage County residents apply for programs such as Medicaid, SNAP (food assistance), Ohio Works First,or certain child support services, Portage County JFS must verify employment and income information to determineeligibility. Until June 30, county agencies across Ohio used The Work Number, an Equifax employment verification service, to access payroll information from participating employers. Ohio's contract with that service has expired, and counties now use the Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform to verify employment and income information. Although The Work Number remains an active service, county agencies no longer have access to it for public assistance eligibility determinations. As a result, some employers may receive requests directly from Portage County Job & Family Services to verify employee income. The Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform allows income verification through: Employee-Authorized Payroll Access: Applicants may securely connect their payroll account to the verification platform, allowing authorized income information to be shared electronically. Experian Payroll Verification If an employer reports payroll information through Experian, income information may be available through that source. Direct Employer Verification: When electronic verification is unavailable, Portage

Massillon data center reps outline 'neighborhood friendly' project

MASSILLON – Developers for a proposed data center near Washington High School said the facility would bring hundreds of construction jobs, millions of dollars in tax revenue and hands-on training for students if built. Sam Khouri and Felicia King, both of LEG Centrum in Westlake, shared details Nov. 9 about the effort with City Council during a nearly three-hour work session. Their company is in line to buy the proposed data center property and it is asking for a zoning change necessary for the project. The planned data center is smaller scale and not to exceed 40 megawatts, said King, adding that negotiations are ongoing with potential companies or tenants to operate the facility. "Banks and insurance agencies are examples of companies that use a 40 megawatt data center," she said. LEG Centrum could be a future seller or a builder and operator of the data center, Khouri said. The 9.8-acre property targeted for a facility previously housed the Standard Testing Lab — 1835 and 1845 Harsh Ave. SE — just south of WHS and next door to Crown Cork & Seal. The site has been inactive for about 20 years. On Oct. 14, the Massillon Planning Commission voted 6-0
