About 80 percent of people will be infected with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) at some point in their lives Spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact HPV is not just common,  it’s also linked to the development of several types of cancer.  While most HPV infections clear on their own certain high-risk strains can persist and cause pre-cancer or cancer of the cervix nearly 40,000 people are diagnosed with HPV-related cancer each year "Every day in the office I answer questions about cancer prevention," said Kellie Rath, MD, a gynecologic oncologist with OhioHealth "Did you know we have a vaccine to prevent cancer?" The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent infection and the cancers caused by HPV It's recommended that children receive the vaccine between the ages of 9 and 11 if someone missed getting vaccinated as a child it's approved for individuals up to age 45 "Check in with yourself and your loved ones to be sure they are up to date with vaccination and screening." Regular screening for cervical cancer is an important way to catch potential problems early Healthcare providers typically recommend starting cervical cancer screening at age 21 with follow-up screenings every three to five years.  A pap smear collects cells from the cervix to check for cancerous or pre-cancerous changes and an HPV test looks for the presence of high-risk types of HPV that can lead to pre-cancerous changes To hear more from Dr. Rath on a variety of topics in cancer care, be sure to follow her on LinkedIn Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application at 10:30 AM at the United Methodist Church of Hawarden with Pastor Barb Joy officiating Burial will follow at Grace Hill Cemetery of Hawarden from 5:00-7:00 PM at the United Methodist Church with a prayer service to follow at 7:00 PM Porter Funeral Home of Hawarden has been entrusted with the funeral arrangements for Michelle.  daughter of Donald Wayne and Frances Ilenne (Hamm) Rath Michelle and her family moved to Iowa where she attended Hinton High School Michelle married Robert Sanders and to this union two daughters were born Michelle was united in marriage with Jeff Van Noort in Hawarden    Michelle was a natural caretaker or her 32 years working as a certified nursing assistant Michelle had a big heart and was selfless in taking care of others Her commitment and dedication made an impact at the Akron Care Center in Akron and the last 7 years at Hillcrest Health Care Services in Hawarden    Michelle had an affinity for dragonflies; their symbolism provided comfort and inspiration after the loss of her father Her deep love for her family was well known and she always enjoyed spending time with them She also enjoyed working on various arts and craft projects Her sense of humor and laughter will always be with us    Michelle is survived by her husband Kaylee (Lindsey) Dee and Vanessa (Dereck) Kaskie; mother and step-father Ilenne and Gerald Johnson; 3 grandchildren and Illah Kaskie; 11 additional grandchildren she got to love on after marrying Jeff; brother and Caydence; 2 sisters-in-law; and 4 brothers-in-law    Preceding Michelle in death was her father Gerrit “Smokey” and Sharon Van Noort Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors Live Cast Mary Beth Rath entered the gates of heaven on March 17,2025 After Bill completed his service in the US Army they moved to Omaha and started their family Lori and special friends Lisa and Kim; grandchildren:  Andy (Crystal) Darlene (Robert); 16 great- grandchildren; brother Memorials to Alzheimer’s Association or St 5pm with a Wake Service at 6:30pm at the mortuary Heafey-Hoffmann-Dworak-Cutler, West Center Chapel, 7805 West Center Road, Omaha, Ne 68124.

NEWARK − Candidates always cite their experience but the question in the Republican primary election for Newark City Council’s 3rd Ward will be what type of experience voters want Incumbent Jeff Rath faces Molly Ingold in the May 6 primary election south of State Route 16 and west of 30th Street Part of the ward is in the Granville Exempted Village School District Rath emphasizes his experience on Newark City Council where he serves in his 16th year representing the 3rd Ward and chairs the council’s Service Committee He said he’s familiar with issues such as the city budget which includes vice president of Hospice of Central Ohio Newark Rotary Club president and Licking Memorial Hospital human resources director She said development issues are critical in the 3rd Ward which she said needs stronger representation Rath has represented the city's 3rd Ward since 2010 “There’s a lot of growth going on in the 3rd Ward,” Rath said “This neighborhood deserves somebody who is a resident and lived here a long period of time but the squeak doesn’t matter if the right person doesn’t hear the squeak.” Ingold said she has been meeting with 3rd Ward residents and listening to their opinions on issues affecting their area “I’ve done some meet and greet gatherings and (am) really enjoying that,” Ingold said “The 3rd Ward is growing — probably one of the fastest-growing wards in the city."

Read this week's magazine International bestseller Emily Rath has won over legions of fans with her spicy romance novels She’s known for heroines who are witty and relatable like the average Janes who populate her chart-topping Jacksonville Rays hockey romance series This is why some fans might be surprised to learn that her new novel is a fantasy adventure inspired by Finnish mythology North is the Night is actually a culmination of two of her deepest literary loves—fantasy and mythology It’s the novel that has been brewing inside her since she was young and her grandmother would recount Finnish folktales and family stories in her kitchen while making pulla bread I’ve devoured books on mythology and folklore I’ve always enjoyed seeing how stories echo and repeat across history and place,” says Rath Rath first gained popularity on BookTok with the Jacksonville Rays series After independently publishing the first two installments she had sold nearly 150,000 copies by the end of the year and gained more than 27 million views on TikTok which released trade paperback editions of Pucking Around and Pucking Wild that put another quarter of a million print copies into the marketplace was released by Kensington late last month “I’ve branded my creative world the ‘Emilyverse’ with the idea that you’ll get the same rich storytelling and I hope at least a little kissing,” says Rath North is the Night still has plenty to offer Rath fans who love the way her stories explore unconventional relationships and strong female characters following their desires But whereas the Jacksonville Rays series and her historical romances are super-steamy North is the Night dials down the heat level and focuses on the quest forced to walk separate paths—one in the land of the living and the other in the realm of the dead After a death goddess drags Aina to Tuonela she tries to understand the motivations of the gods in hopes of escaping Siiri braves a dangerous journey north to seek the greatest shaman of legend and the only person to venture to the realm of death and return alive Aina and Siiri must each risk everything to seize back their destinies Fans of Greek mythology will recognize how the novel inverts the story of Hades and Persephone the novel’s most significant influence is the Kalevala a 19th-century epic poem that tells the mythology of the Finnish people from the origins of the world until the introduction of Christianity Rath credits her grandmother with instilling in her a passion for her Finnish heritage She gave me my first Finnish phrase book and my first copy of the Kalevala,” says Rath To match North is the Night’s rich storytelling Kensington has created beautifully designed hardcovers The collectible print editions match Rath’s feeling that writing North is the Night was “akin to a religious experience.” Drawing on her academic background—Rath has PhDs in Political Science and Peace Studies from the University of Notre Dame—and melding it with her love of Finnish mythology Rath created a world that “felt like a homecoming,” she says “I found myself relating in so many ways to my characters and longing to fall into this world I was creating.” To see sponsored ads, please enable JavaScript. Three USA Wrestling Elite Accelerator Program (EAP) athletes reached the finals of the Bob Smith Open, held at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas on Sunday. Claiming gold medals were Kollin Rath (Stroudsburg, Pa./EAP Program) at 157 pounds and Rylan Kuhn (Parkville, Mo./EAP Program) at 285 pounds. Claiming a silver medal at 125 pounds was Dale O’Blia (Denver, Colo./EAP Program). The Elite Accelerator Program (EAP) was designed to develop young athletes with Olympic potential at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This has included wrestlers who are still in high school, or are high school graduates who choose to train in the international styles prior to going to college. Rath won six straight bouts to claim the title, including a 17-2 technical fall over unattached Layton Schneider in the finals. Rath’s closest battle came in the semifinals, a 9-8 victory over Oklahoma State redshirt sophomore Cutter Sheets. His quarterfinals win was over unattached Oklahoma freshman Owen Eck, 4-1. In the round of 16, Rath stopped unattached Nebraska redshirt freshman Dez Garterell, 2-0. Rath, who is a senior for Bethlehem Catholic, is a two-time Pennsylvania state champion. He is the No. 13 Pound-For-Pound high school wrestler according to FloWrestling. He was a 2023 U17 Nationals freestyle runnerup and a 2022 16U Nationals freestyle runner-up. Kuhn had five straight wins, including an 8-3 win over Newman junior Caleb Wunsch. In the semifinals, he edged Nebraska-Kearney redshirt junior Jake Boley, 6-5. Two of Kuhn’s victories were by pin, over Arrick Williams of Northwest Tech and Peyton Hahn of Air Force. Kuhn was a two-time Missouri state champion for St. Pius X High School and a three-time Fargo All-American, including finishing as a runner-up in the 2022 16U Nationals in Greco-Roman. He was fifth in freestyle at the 2024 Junior Nationals. O’Blia was defeated in the championship finals by unattached Oklahoma sophomore Conrad Hendricksen, 4-2. He won four straight matches to reach the finals, including an 8-5 sudden victory win over sophomore Nico Tocci of the U.S. Air Force Academy in the second round. His semifinals win was over Adams State junior Isaiah Gamez, 7-2. O’Blia was a four-time Colorado state high school champion for Mullen High School. “As a whole, they did a great job. There are a lot of things still to work on, and they know it. I can definitely tell they are excited. There were a lot of breakthroughs today for each guy. It is good to know that they are not even close to wrestling their best, yet can put up such a performance and really gut out some matches,” said USA Wrestling National Freestyle Developmental Coach J’den Cox. On November 23, O’Blia placed third at 125 pounds and Kuhn placed fourth at 285 pounds at the Younis Hospitality Open in Kearney, Neb. “I am very excited for what the future holds for these guys. Their ceiling, I don’t know where that is at right now. With this being the last folkstyle tournament of our season, it is very exciting going into the freestyle season,” said Cox. 125 - Dale O’Blia, Denver, Colo.
