According to GKN Sinter Metals of America Vice President of Human Resources Andy Rutledge, reports rolled into firefighters around 12:50 p.m. about an explosion near the GKN Sinter Metals facility. Allegedly, a private company contracted with GKN Sinter Metals was loading some waste product from the facility. According to local fire officials, state fire marshals were contacted to help investigate the explosion. The contractors were supposedly loading the waste product onto a vacuum truck. In the process, the waste product being sucked into the truck was airborne and similar in form to a powdered metal which had a potential for combusting. Somehow the material was able to combust, which may have been due to an electrical malfunction, similar to a grain silo explosion. Allegedly, the truck suffered some minor damage from the explosion and three individuals were transported to Holzer Medical Center for care. Fire officials said the doors of one of the waste-consuming vehicles had its doors popped open slightly from the explosion. The truck exploded on the property but not inside the facility. Group shares specifics on medical marijuana proposal By Mark Gillispie Associated Press CLEVELAND — The head of a Washington, D.C.-based organization seeking to legalize the sale and use of medical marijuana in Ohio said Tuesday that he’s conﬁdent voters will give their approval if the group gathers enough signatures to get a measure on the November ballot. The Marijuana Policy Project released its proposed language for a constitutional amendment to join 23 other states and the District of Columbia in legalizing medical marijuana. Ballot language for the amendment must be approved by state ofﬁcials before the organization can begin gathering the 305,000 signatures it needs to put the issue before voters. “If we’re able to collect these signatures by early July, this initiative will pass on Nov. 8,” Marijuana Policy Project Executive Director Rob Kampia said during a conference call on Tuesday. Kampia cited a recent poll that showed 74 percent of Ohioans support medical marijuana legalization, a number he said matched polling in other states. Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot initiative in November that would have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medical use. The Republican-controlled Legislature has taken a few exploratory steps to examine the issue.

I can’t emphasize enough that we appreciate everyone’s concern, truly.” Unrelated, the two said that the new shelter will be open in the next few weeks. They said the spay and neuter program for the county that began in August has seen 82 dogs spayed or neutered since its conception, with 20 dogs spayed and neutered this year alone. They also reminded the community that adoption fees are $100, which includes the adoption, the license, rabies shots, spay or neutering, other shots and deworming. Dog tags still needed are $24, unless you purchase a new dog, in which you have 30 days to get a dog license, or purchased any dog that’s coming of age over three months. In those two cases, MurphySmith said the cost is still $12. For more information, visit the Meigs County Dog Shelter Facebook page or call 740-9923779. OHIO STATE BRIEFS Salisbury Township cemetery decorations removal BROADCAST Daily Sentinel Trump brings presidential campaign to Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is campaigning in bellwether Ohio ahead of the state’s March 15 primary. Trump rallied Tuesday at a hangar at Port Columbus International Airport before a crowd of roughly 4,000 people, accompanied by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The visit marks his second campaign stop in Columbus, where GOP rival John Kasich is governor. Kasich has repeatedly said he’s conﬁdent he will win his home state, despite some polls showing Trump prevailing. A speaker priming Tuesday’s crowd for Trump’s speech said the billionaire mogul was prepared to “embarrass Kasich” and win his home state. The chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, which has endorsed Kasich, says increasing numbers in the GOP leaders in the state are saying they’ll never vote for Trump.

OSHP focuses on impaired driving issues Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — As part of the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s ongoing effort to contribute to a safer state, troopers are continuing their increased focus on impaired driving enforcement — and these efforts are paying off. For the fourth year in a row, troopers removed well over 24,000 impaired drivers from Ohio roadways. OVI-related crashes accounted for 35 percent of all fatal crashes in Ohio in 2015, a percentage that has remained steady for the past 3 years. There were 14,227 OVI- related crashes on Ohio roadways, killing 395 and injuring 8,478. Speed was a contributing factor in 60 percent of all OVI-related crashes. Of drivers considered at-fault in OVI-related crashes, 54 percent were in their 20s and 30s, and 71 percent were male. “We need motorists to commit to keeping our roads safe by planning ahead to designate a driver and insisting that everyone in the vehicle is buckled up,” Lt. Max Norris, commander of the GalliaMeigs post of OSHP, said. “You can also help ﬁght the battle against impaired driving by actively inﬂuencing friends and family to do the same.” Last year, state troopers from the Gallia-Meigs post arrested 250 impaired drivers in the Ohio Valley. The public is encouraged to call #677 to report impaired drivers, drug activity or stranded motorists.

Although the next few days promise chillier weather, the Ohio Valley Area, including Meigs County, will soon be feeling warmer temperatures synonymous with spring, although the official start of spring isn’t until Sunday, March 20.

The numbers are shocking, with more than 100 Americans dying from overdoses every day. Congress can help, and we must act. As I travel across Ohio, I’ve seen the devastating impact this epidemic has had on families and local communities. Sadly, babies are too often the victims of this addiction. Recently, my wife Jane and I visited Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland. We toured the hospital’s neonatal intensive-care unit and met with medical experts and addiction specialists who are treating babies born addicted to the Sen. Rob drugs their mothers abused during Portman pregnancy. Contributing I’ve been on similar, heartbreaking Columnist visits at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and St. Rita’s Special Care Nursery in Lima, Ohio. What I’ve learned from the compassionate nurses and doctors who take these newborns through withdrawal is that the number of babies who have been exposed to heroin or prescription drugs continues to grow. The problem is getting worse, not better. The Senate is poised to act on the bipartisan Comprehensive Addiction & Recovery Act — also called CARA — legislation I’ve authored with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. This bill is designed to ensure that federal resources are devoted to evidence-based treatment and recovery programs that work. And it tackles this problem of babies born with addiction. Finally, it creates a pilot program for state substance abuse agencies that allows funds to be used to target women who are addicted to opiates and provide family-based services women in nonresidential settings. Helping these babies is just one aspect of this bill, but a very critical one, as we work to turn the tide in the struggle against addiction. The good news is that bipartisan momentum is building behind this bill and for Senate action. We have strong support from members on both sides of the aisle. Both Republican and Democrat leaders have lined up to support it. The abuse of heroin and prescription drugs is having a devastating effect on our local communities. This measure will help more women, more babies, more families and more Americans put their lives back together and achieve their Godgiven potential. The time to act is now. Sen.

A report from Policy Matters Ohio estimated that it would cost $750 million to demolish all the blighted and abandoned properties in Ohio.

I encourage Ohio counties that have a land bank in place to apply for the program.

The Hardest Hit Fund is critical to furthering their efforts. I will continue ﬁghting to protect these funds that are so important to Ohio communities. U.S. Sen.

I’m so proud of the team, the coaches and all the fans. It’s really great.” The Defenders also have a pair of ﬁrstyear seniors, Justin Sizemore and Andrew Sims. Sizemore, a 5-6 guard who scored three points in the state ﬁnal, transferred to Ohio Valley Christian last year, but was unable to play basketball for the Blue and Gold. “This is something you can’t really put into words,” Sizemore said. “We’ve had a pretty successful season and you really can’t describe this moment.” Sims, a 6-3 forward, pulled in the ﬁnal rebound of the state championship. “It’s awesome,” Sims said. “This is my ﬁrst year at OVCS, to join in and go win the state is awesome.” Ohio Valley Christian is saying farewell its four seniors, but could have six returnees on next year’s squad when the Defenders try to make it ﬁve straight trips to the ﬁnal four. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Gallia Academy senior Justin Reynolds, right, will be making his first trip to the OHSAA wrestling championships this Thursday after finishing in the top-four at the Division II Southeast-Southwest District tournament held last weekend at Claymont High School in Tuscarawas County.

For the ﬁnal four-and-ahalf minutes, Point never got within single digits again. Nitro had four players place in double ﬁgures, paced by Joel Sweat’s 16 points, as he hit the game’s opening ﬁeld goal on a three-pointer — and ended his night by making 5-of-6 fourth-quarter foul shots. Sweat ﬁnished with ﬁve ﬁeld goals, as Eary added 13 points (4-of-4 free throws) and Mahairas (3-of-3 free throws) and Austin Woodrum (3-of-4 free throws) wound up with a dozen points apiece. Eary, Mahairas and Woodrum each scored four ﬁeld goals, while Martin mustered three for seven points. Gibbs, in his ﬁnal game for Point Pleasant, paced the Big Blacks with a game-high 21 points — 16 of which were in the second half. He had eight total ﬁeld goals, including all three of his threes in the ﬁnal two quarters. Payne posted 12 points on three ﬁeld goals and 5-of-6 free throws, while Workman (three ﬁeld goals and 2-of-3 free throws) and Derenberger (four ﬁeld goals) scored eight points apiece . Trey Tucker tallied two ﬁrst-quarter ﬁeld goals, while he and Parker Rairden split a pair of fourth-quarter free throws.

We competed in a lot of games this year whereas last year, there were a lot of blowouts.” Williams was optimistic about the program’s future, especially considering Point will drop down in class next season to AA. “We have a lot of kids coming back next year, so it’s just the commitment to the offseason and staying hungry,” he said. “I’ve got high expectations for these kids. Dropping down (to AA) is going to help us some with our scheduling, but there’s still going to be some challenges and it’s still a grind. That said, I’m really excited about the group coming back.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Runner Up $50 Submit your pet’s photo & contest entry form online now.
