During this chaotic time, while military personnel and civilians were attempting to escape, four chaplains remained on board to help others successfully board lifeboats, and give away their life jackets when they became scarce. The four men also provided spiritual guidance Lindsay Kriz | Daily Sentinel and, with their arms joined, A scene from last year’s ceremony honoring the Four Chaplains who gave their lives George L. Fox, Clark V. Poling, Alexander D. Goode aboard the USAT Dorchester in 1943. and John P. Washington went down with the ship. Before going down with the ship, the men attempted to bring hope and light during the chaos, eventually spreading out around the ship to tend to wounded men, calm anyone frightened and guide anyone disoriented toward safety. Of the 902 men board the Dorchester, 692 —including the four —died. In 1944, the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart were awarded posthumously to relatives of the four men, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in 1961, awarded them a special Medal of Heroism. And Jan. 30, nearly 73 years later, the four men who gave their lives will be honored during the Eighth District Four Chaplains observance at Meigs Local School’s corporate ofﬁce.

The county commissioner was speaking about the state of Meigs County during the MiddleportPomeroy Rotary Club’s weekly lunch meeting. Smith began by saying, “We (commissioners) work to establish an environment that will encourage people to live here.” He cited progress being made toward that goal, from newly resurfaced roads and capital improvement projects to government buildings and a balanced budget. In 2013, the county had a carryover of approximately $17,000; in 2015, the amount was near $860,000. “With our capital improvements we are putting pride back into the buildings. The county is doing well ﬁnancially. We are paying our bills and establishing reserves. The words ‘can’t happen here’ are never spoken in the commissioners ofﬁce,” Smith said. Rotary members were also positive after a successful year of their own. President Tina Reese cited accomplishments of 2015, including an increase in membership and several community activities. Members held a pancake breakfast with donations going to the Mulberry Community Center; and a soup sale at Southern Local High School football game, with proceeds going to the school’s National Honor Society. The group welcomed onlookers at the Pomeroy Christmas Parade with cups of hot chocolate and provided “Christmas in a Box” to two area families. “We should be very proud of our accomplishment last year,” Reese said, “and we look forward to 2016 being a great year for our organization.” Middleport-Pomeroy Rotary is part of an international service organization whose stated human rights purpose is “to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.” See SMITH | 5 Courtesy photo Authentic student activities in the garden will be used to enrich literacy through exemplary children’s books that feature plants, gardening and natural elements.

School Board Recognition Month honors the members of Ohio’s more than 700 city, exempted village, local and joint vocational boards of education and educational service centers governing boards for their commitment to providing quality public education to Ohio’s school children. The Meigs Local School District is joining with other districts throughout the state to recognize the contributions school board members make to their communities. “Ohioans beneﬁt every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,400 men and women across the state,” Superintendent Rusty D. Bookman said. “These servants are elected to serve by local citizens and receive little compen- sation for their tireless efforts. These men and women are the local school board members of Ohio. “These people unselfishly contribute their time and talents toward the advancement of public education. They represent a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education. Even though we are making a special effort during January to show appreciation to our school board members, we recognize their contributions reﬂect a year-round commitment on their part. “They are dedicated individuals who are committed to the continuing success of our schools and students.” The Meigs Local School Board of Education members were presented a gift and an appreciation dinner Jan. 26 at the board ofﬁce. Members recognized for their years of service were: Larry Tucker, president, seven years; Ryan Mahr, vice president, ﬁve years; Roger Abbott, member for 21 years; and Todd Snowden, member for four years.

One-quarter of Ohio’s children live in households that have experienced hunger during the past year, and childhood nutrition programs are critical to providing school lunch and breakfast for these students. But too many of these children don’t have access to a nutritious meal when school cafeterias close for the summer. All Ohio children should be able Sherrod to count on healthy, nutritious Brown Contributing meals year round — summer break shouldn’t mean going hungry. Columnist We’ve worked with advocates across the state to raise awareness of the summer feeding program each year, and last week the Senate Agriculture Committee voted to advance legislation that includes my bipartisan Hunger Free Summer for Kids Act. More than 633,000 Ohio children receive free or reduced-priced lunch on an average day, but many of these same students miss out on this important source of nutritious food in June, July, and August. The summer feeding program helps bridge the gap, but right now it’s only reaching about 10 percent of children who need it. Our provision would improve the way we reach students during the summer, to ensure more children get the food they need. It would help provide food to children who can’t access summer feeding sites. With school buses often not operating when school is out of session, many children — particularly in rural areas — have no way to get to the churches and recreation centers and parks where meals are served. The bill would also allow children to pick up meals and eat them off the premises, providing ﬂexibility for busy parents who are often juggling work and child care while their children are out of school. And it would cut red tape that organizations often face, streamlining the paperwork and application processes that are hurdles for schools, faithbased groups, and other organizations trying to serve students. This provision has broad, bipartisan support, and passed as part of legislation to reauthorize funding for school lunches, breakfasts and meals for children and mothers without enough to eat. All Ohio children should be able to count on healthy, nutritious meals year round — the National School Lunch Program is one of the most successful programs we have at curbing childhood hunger.

Others are less apparent. When a reclamation liability is bonded, general accounting rules allow the related liability to be carried “off balance sheet.” That is, the potential cost of cleanup doesn’t reduce shareholder equity or increase the debt-to-equity ratio of the company. In other words, a coal company’s self-bonding ﬁnancial promises don’t count against its ability to qualify for more self-bonding promises. For example, if Peabody Energy — the largest coal company in the United States — counted its own self-bonding liabilities, it would no longer qualify. Peabody, which posted a third-quarter loss in 2015 of more than $300 million, currently has $1.4 billion in selfbonding in place. Private rating agencies should be the ones assessing the creditworthiness of companies. At a minimum, companies shouldn’t be able to self-bond unless they have an investment-grade bond rating, and the overall percentage of reclamation liabilities that can be selfbonded should be capped. Better yet, just do away with self-bonding completely. The sooner the feds take this crutch away from coal companies, the better it will be for taxpayers.

And, all of the sudden, the Meigs Marauders are right back in the TriValley Conference Ohio Division boys basketball race. That’s because the chips fell right on Tuesday night — in more ways than one. First off, bolstered by a 16-of-31 free-throw performance, the Marauders slipped past the visiting Wellston Golden Rockets 80-76 inside Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. Then, Meigs found itself only a game back in the TVC-Ohio championship chase, thanks to Athens’ 79-75 overtime upset at league leader Vinton County. With the Marauders’ win, they raised their record to 13-2 — and now 5-2 in the division. Meigs remains tied in the TVC-Ohio with Alexander and Athens, as Alexander defeated River Valley 54-34 in another league tilt. Vinton County suffered its initial league loss in seven games. On Dec. 8, at Wellston High School, the Marauders steamrolled the Rockets by a count of 76-39. On Tuesday, they broke a 39-39 halftime tie, winning the third quarter with Wellston 23-17. In the fourth frame, Meigs made 10 of 19 freethrow attempts, while Wellston was just 7-of-10 for the entire game. In fact, the Maroon and Gold shot 28 of its 31 freebies in the second half, and made 5-of-9 in the third. All of Wellston’s foulline attempts were in the ﬁnal 16 minutes. The matchup was also a three-point shooting contest, with Meigs mak- ing 10 while Wellston knocked down 13. Wellston’s Braydon Womeldorf, who went off for a game-high 29 points, drained seven trifectas — all over the ﬁnal three quarters. Luke Musser of Meigs — who equaled Womeldorf with seven threeballs of his own — made all of his over the opening three frames. Musser ﬁnished with a team-high 25, as Kaileb Sheets scored 20 points on seven total ﬁeld goals, including two secondquarter treys. The Marauders attempted 22 triples, while going 17-of-40 from inside the arc. Sheets dished out 10 of the team’s 18 assists and blocked three shots, while Colton Lilly led in rebounds with seven and steals with three. Lilly, on ﬁve ﬁeld goals and six made free throws, made it three Marauders in double ﬁgures with 16. Christian Mattox and Jared Kennedy grabbed six rebounds apiece, as Mattox mustered eight points and Kennedy seven. Mattox made a ﬁrstquarter three. Jaxon Meadows with a ﬁeld goal and Dillon Mahr with two free throws rounded out the Maroon and Gold. Caden Ervin, on six ﬁrst-half ﬁeld goals and two third-canto free throws, followed Womeldorf for Wellston with 14 points. Chazz Davis, on ﬁve ﬁeld goals over the ﬁnal three periods, tallied 10. Ryan Hawk had eight and Justin Rafferty six for the Rockets, while Caleb Stanley, Logan Collins and Daivon Newell all ﬁnished with three. Rafferty and Hawk both canned two trifectas, while Collins and Newell each netted one. Stanley sank an oldfashioned three-point play in the fourth quarter. With the loss, the Golden Rockets fell to 1-5 in the league, part of 8-5 overall. The Marauders return to action on Friday night by hosting River Valley in another TVC-Ohio affair.
