Commissioners discuss improvement
By Donald Lambert

elambert@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The Meigs
County Commissioners read
a resolution from the Meigs
County Board of Park Commissioners for the Meigs County
Park District during their
weekly meeting Thursday.
The resolution requests
funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation and
Designation of Projects for
Ohio Parks Districts Roadwork
Fund through the Ohio Parks
&amp; Recreation Association.
The funds would be used to
improve public park roadways
in Meigs County.

To receive these funds, the
Meigs County Park District
must follow the following
stipulations: the funds must be
used for materials and labor
necessary for construction or
reconstruction of park drives,
park roads, new or replacement
bridges, park access roads and
parking lots; the Park District
will pay all costs incurred over
the appropriated allocation
and all costs associated with
design, environmental studies
and documents, and right-ofway activities; and a designated
contact person for the Meigs
County Park District to sign all
documentation on behalf of the

Board of Park Commissioners.
The Park Board Resolutions
for the 2014-2015 biennium are
due June 1, with funds being
distributed later this year. The
funding amount for Meigs
County is currently unknown.
The commissioners received
Appropriation and Revenue
adjustment requests from Chris
Shank, director of Meigs County
Job and Family Services. The
revenue adjustment would put
$200,000 into S050-S07, reimbursement state and federal,
while the appropriation adjustment would put $200,000 into
S050-S06, refunds. Both requests
come after Job and Family Ser-

vices was awarded an Efficiency
and Innovation Grant for Children Services. Both amounts
were not covered in Job and
Family Services initial 2015 Budget request. The commissioners
approved by requests.
Meigs County Engineer
Gene Triplett then spoke to the
commissioners about a notification he had received from the
Orange Township trustees.
The notifications asks for
Township Road 442 (Caldwell
Road) to be vacated. Triplett
recommended that, before the
road was to be vacated, the
commissioners view the road
and schedule a hearing to see if

they should vacate the road.
Other business included the
reading of a price quote from
Jim Clifford for the Meigs
County Health Department
roof totaling $29,730, but the
commissioners decided to table
a motion on this until the next
meeting. The commissioners
also recognized and thanked
ODOT, the county garage and
the road workers for their hard
work in snow removal and getting roads cleared.
The next meeting will be
held on Thursday, Feb. 26, at
11 a.m.

Pomeroy courthouse decided to close its doors around noon due to
the water break just down the road.

POMEROY — A water break at 236 West 2nd
Street in Pomeroy, located between Farmers Bank
and the old Meigs General Hospital, has left parts of
Pomeroy with no water, or little water pressure. All
Pomeroy water customers are currently on a boil advisory until further notice.
The break happened Thursday morning, most likely
due to the cold conditions, Anne Norton, water clerk,
said.
“I think due to the weather it blew our six inch
main line, which caused our tanks/wells up in Syracuse to drop the level,” she said. “Some weren’t pumping any water, and we’re starting to lose pressure in
other tanks as well.”
Norton said that Village Administrator Paul Hellman told her that because the break, along with the
elevation of the tanks, caused the draining of the village’s other tanks. Norton said that parts of Pomeroy,
along with some areas towards Minersville and State
Route 833, are without water or water pressure.
Village officials are currently working on the issue,
with no official end to the advisory in place yet. Hellman could not be reached for comment.

Judge throws out inmates’ lawsuit
By Ann Sanner
Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio
— A federal judge has
dismissed a lawsuit
filed by four death
row inmates who challenged an Ohio law
that shields the names
of companies providing
lethal injection drugs.
The inmates argued
the new law violates
free speech rights,
contending in part that
the measure restricts
information that helps
inform the public
debate over capital
punishment. Their
attorneys have sought
to stop provisions from
taking effect in March.
But U.S. District
Judge Gregory Frost
ruled Tuesday that the
inmates lacked standing, saying their challenge was not tied to
“actual or imminent
injuries.”
Attorneys for the
state had requested
that the lawsuit be dismissed.
In a filing last month,
Ohio’s attorneys argued
that nothing in the law
infringes on prison-

ers’ First Amendment
rights or affects their
ability to argue issues
in court. They said
the law denies inmates
access to information
in the state’s hands,
which is not the same
as suppressing free
speech.
Frost sided with the
state in his decision.
He wrote that the law
does not suppress
speech or the ability
to oppose the death
penalty.
“Rather, the statutory scheme simply
cuts off Ohio and its
employees as a source
of specific information
for both proponents
and opponents of the
death penalty,” the
judge said.
The inmates also
allege the restrictions
treat them differently
than other groups,
arguing that state lethal
injection expert witnesses could have their
identity shielded under
the law, while defense
witnesses wouldn’t get
the same protection.
The state has disputed
the unequal treatment
allegation.

Frost noted that the
dismissal “unquestionably handicaps” related
litigation over Ohio’s
execution protocol.
“In order to challenge the use of a drug
that will be used to
execute them, inmates
must explain why use
of that drug presents
a risk of substantial
harm,” he said. But
he acknowledged that
inmates aren’t allowed
to know where the
drug came from, how
it was manufactured or
who was involved in its
creation.
“A proponent of
Kafkaesque absurdity
might be proud of such
a byzantine method for
pursuing the protection of a constitutional
right, even if the drafters of the United States
Constitution might
not,” Frost wrote.
Supporters of the
new law say shielding
the names of companies that provide
lethal injection drugs
is necessary to protect drugmakers from
harassment and ensure
the state gets supplies
of the drugs.

Ohio executions have
been on hold since a
troubling 26-minute
execution a year ago
during which a prisoner getting a firstever two-drug combo
repeatedly gasped and
snorted.
The state has ditched
that two-drug method
and said it will use one
of two different anesthetics in the future, neither of which it has on
hand and both of which
may be hard to find.
Attorneys for the
inmates say there is no
evidence whatsoever
of companies being
harassed.
The lawsuit was filed
in December on behalf
of Ohio death row prisoners Ronald Phillips,
Raymond Tibbetts,
Robert Van Hook and
Grady Brinkley.
Cleveland attorney
Timothy Sweeney, who
represents Phillips,
said they will appeal
the decision.
“This extreme law
needs to be fully
evaluated by the courts
prior to its implementation,” Sweeney said
in a written statement.

Debaltseve under rebel control, Cossack fighters celebrate
By Peter Leonard
and Dalton Bennett
Associated Press

:;87BJI;L;"�KahW_d[�Å�H[X[b�
fighters, many of them Cossacks,
roamed the streets of Debaltseve on
Thursday, a day after Ukrainian forces
began withdrawing from the besieged
town. The mood was celebratory, with
fighters laughing, hugging each other
and posing for photos.
Associated Press journalists drove
Thursday around about half of the
key rail hub that has been the focus of
weeks of fighting in eastern Ukraine
X[jm[[d�Hkii_W#XWYa[Z�i[fWhWj_iji�WdZ�
government troops. They found all its
neighborhoods under the control of
rebel fighters.
On the road out of town, dozens of
Ukrainian military vehicles were retreating to the government-held town of
Artemivsk. Many were riddled with
bullet holes or had their windshields
destroyed. Soldiers in them spoke of
enduring weeks of harrowing rebel
shelling, barrages designed to annihilate
their ranks.
“Starting at night, they would fire
at us just to stop us from sleeping,” a
Ukrainian soldier named Andrei told
the AP, sitting in his truck outside
Artemivsk. “They did this all night.
Then in the morning, they would
attack, wave after wave. They did this
constantly for three weeks.”

Cossack leader and prominent warlord
in separatist eastern Ukraine, drove
around in a Humvee-like vehicle captured from Ukrainian troops.
All around lay the wrecked remains of
Ukrainian armored vehicles. A government encampment near a crossroads
bWo�Z[i[hj[Z$�H[X[b�Ò]^j[hi�i[WhY^[Z�
through its bunkers and abandoned
tents, looking to salvage equipment
and clothing left behind by the quickly
retreating troops.
Two rebel fighters inspected a tank
left behind by Ukrainians, what they
called a “gift” from the government
troops. They then grabbed a bloodied
Xbk[#WdZ#o[bbem�KahW_d_Wd�ÓW]�bo_d]�

next to the tank and ground it into the
frozen earth with their boots.
Civilians milled about on debrislittered streets in devastated residential
areas, some thanking the rebel fighters.
But in a reminder of the dangers of
the area, one car carrying Cossacks hit
a land mine 200 meters (yards) from
the AP journalists, killing one Cossack
and injuring one other. Cossacks, who
if[Wh^[WZ[Z�_cf[h_Wb�Hkii_WÉi�[nfWdi_ed�WdZ�^[bf[Z�]kWhZ�_ji�\Wh#Ókd]�ekjposts, faced persecution under Bolshevik rule but resurfaced after the 1991
Soviet collapse.
Ukrainian troops began abandoning
Debaltseve on Wednesday after weeks
of heavy fighting, and by Thursday said
more than 90 percent of its forces had
been withdrawn. Capturing the town is
a significant military victory for the rebels because it’s a railway junction that
straddles the most direct route between
Donetsk and Luhansk, the separatists’
two main cities.
Ukraine’s military general staff said
13 soldiers were killed and 157 wounded by artillery fire during the withdrawal. It also said more than 90 soldiers
were taken prisoner during the battle
for Debaltseve and the whereabouts of
82 others was unclear.
Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy
Lysenko said the three-week siege had
left the town’s infrastructure in ruins.
“A strategic rail hub has stopped
its existence the way it was,” he said
Thursday in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital.
H[jh[Wj_d]�Ò]^j[hi�Wff[Wh[Z�i^[bb#
shocked.
“We left under heavy fire, driving on small roads,” said Andrei, the
Ukrainian soldier. “As we were leaving, we were attacked by artillery and
grenade launchers. As we moved, we
came under attack by tanks and assault
groups several times.”
He said two of his men had been
wounded in the trip.
Ukraine raised the pressure on the
separatists Thursday by cutting off shipments of natural gas to the area. The
national gas company Naftogaz said the
cutoff was due to significant damage to
gas transit infrastructure.

A body of a government soldier lies by the side of the road and is covered by a Ukrainian national flag
in the east Ukraine town of Debaltseve on Thursday. After weeks of relentless fighting, the embattled
Ukrainian rail hub of Debaltseve fell Wednesday to Russia-backed separatists.

A top official of the separatist

Wal-Mart’s US workers to get pay raises
By Anne D’Innocenzio
AP Retail Writer

BENTONVILLE, Ark.
— Hoping to shed its
reputation for offering little
more than dead-end jobs,
Wal-Mart, the nation’s biggest private employer, is
giving raises to nearly a halfmillion workers and offering
what it says are more opportunities for advancement.
Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that as part of
$1 billion its spending to
change the way it trains and
pays workers, the company
will give raises to nearly 40
percent of its 1.3 million
U.S. employees in the next
six months.
In addition to raises, WalMart said it plans to make
changes to how workers are
scheduled and add training
programs for sales staff so
that employees can more
easily map out their future
at the company.
The company said
the changes, which were
announced on Thursday as
Wal-Mart reported betterthan-expected fourth-quarter results, will hurt profits
this year.
“We are trying to create
a meritocracy where you
can start somewhere and
end up just as high as your
hard work and your capacity will enable you to go,”
CEO Doug McMillon told
the AP during an interview
this week at the company’s
headquarters in Bentonville,
Arkansas.
The changes come at a
time when there’s growing
concern for the plight of the
nation’s hourly workers.
Thousands of U.S. hourly
workers and their supporters have staged protests
across the country in the
past couple of years to call
attention to their financial
struggles. Business groups
and politicians have jumped
into the fray, debating a proposal by President Obama
to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to

$10.10 an hour. And a new
Associated Press-GfK poll
found that most Americans
support increasing the minimum wage.
At the same time, competition for retail workers
is becoming increasingly
stiff. As shoppers get more
mobile savvy, retailers are
seeking sales staff that’s
more skilled at customer
service. But in the improving economy, the most
desirable retail workers feel
more confident in hopping
from job to job.
Wal-Mart, which has
struggled for two years
with sluggish sales, follows
other big retailers that have
announced plans to increase
pay for its workers. Swedish
home furnishings retailer
Ikea this year gave thousands of workers at its U.S.
division a 17 percent average raise to $10.76 an hour.
And clothing chain Gap Inc.
raised its minimum hourly
wage to $9 last year and to
$10 this year.
Because of its massive
size and impact, Wal-Mart
has faced outsized pressure
by organized labor groups
to raise its starting hourly
wages to $15 and provide
workers with more consistent hours. With its new
changes, the company’s
average full-time wage will
be $13 an hour, up from
$12.85. For part-time workers, the hourly wage will be
$10, up from $9.48.
That’s below the $14.65
average that hourly retail
workers in a non-supervisory role earn, according
to government data that
includes people who work
at auto dealers and other
outlets that would likely pay
more than discounters like
Wal-Mart. But it’s above the
$9.93 average hourly pay for
cashiers and low level retail
sales staff, according to
Hay Group’s survey of 140
retailers with annual sales of
$500 million.
Ed Lazear, a Stanford
University economics

professor who served as
an informal adviser to WalMart during the past year
for the program, applauded
Wal-Mart’s moves.
“It’s positioning itself to
be competitive,” he said.
“This is a step in the right
direction.”
Here’s a breakdown of
some of Wal-Mart’s plans:
��IjWhj�hW_i_d]�[djho�
level wages to at least $9 an
hour in April and to at least
$10 an hour by February of
next year. That includes the
less than 6,000 workers who
make the federal minimum
wage. Sam’s Club locations
will offer a starting hourly
wage of at least $9.50 or
higher in all markets, and at
least $10.50 by next year.
��HW_i[�j^[�Óeeh�WdZ�
ceiling of its pay range
for each position in most
stores. For example, the pay
range for cashiers is $7.65
to $16. The new range will
be $9.00 to $17.55.
�HW_i[�j^[�ijWhj_d]�mW][�
for some department managers to at least $13 an hour by
this summer and at least $15
an hour by early next year.
��=_l[�d[mbo�^_h[Z�
workers a $9 per hour training wage and when they
successfully complete the
six-month training program,
raise it to $10 an hour.
Those workers can pursue
one of three career paths:
hourly supervisor, a specialty path like working in
a bakery or deli or expand
their skills in their current
role.
��=_l[�^ekhbo�mehaers hands-on training in
areas including teamwork,
merchandising, retail fundamentals and communications. Store leaders like
hourly supervisors will get
refresher training on people
leadership skills so that they
can help workers grow and
advance.
��Hebb�ekj�W�fhe]hWc�
that offers some workers
fixed schedules so they
can be able to choose the
same hours each week. The

program is being tested in
Wichita, Kansas.
��J[Wc�kf�m_j^�_ji�dedprofit, Walmart Foundation,
to invest a total of $100
million spread over the
next five years to support
programs that help advance
careers for entry level workers in the industry.
McMillon, whose first job
at Wal-Mart was an hourly
position loading trucks during college, said the company is making the changes
in both wages and training
because it realizes it needs
to do more than just pay
more. In a survey Wal-Mart
conducted of 24,000 workers, it found that many don’t
know how to move up at
Wal-Mart.
McMillon, who became
CEO last year, said he’s
hoping that if the company
invests in its workers, they
will provide better customer
service. And ultimately, he
hopes that will encourage
shoppers to spend more.
“We want to make it
really clear that working at
Wal-Mart is a great opportunity,” he said. “Time will tell
what the significance of the
decisions will be.”

the four leaders had spoken by phone
and praised the cease-fire deal, saying it
has led to “a reduction in the number of
civilian casualties.”
France and Germany, which oversaw
marathon peace talks between the
KahW_d_Wd�WdZ�Hkii_Wd�b[WZ[hi�bWij�m[[a�
in Minsk, Belarus, both signaled Thursday that they’re determined to salvage
the cease-fire deal and keep the two
sides talking.
The German government said the
four leaders had agreed “to stick to the
Minsk agreements despite the serious
breach of the cease-fire in Debaltseve.”
It said “immediate concrete steps” were
necessary to ensure that the cease-fire
is fully implemented and heavy weapons are withdrawn.
Both sides were supposed to pullback
heavy weapons in eastern Ukraine
beginning Tuesday, but international
monitors said Thursday they had not
seen either doing so.
“We have not observed the withdrawal of heavy weapons, however we have
observed and reported on the movement of heavy weapons,” said Michael
Bociurkiw of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Sugary drinks
out; coffee, eggs in
By Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An extra cup or two of coffee may be OK after all. More eggs, too. But you
definitely need to drink less sugary soda. And,
as always, don’t forget your vegetables.
H[Yecc[dZWj_edi�J^khiZWo�\hec�W�]el[hdment advisory committee call for an environmentally friendly diet lower in red and processed meats. But the panel would reverse previous guidance on limiting dietary cholesterol.
And it says the caffeine in a few cups of coffee
could actually be good for you.
The committee also is backing off stricter
limits on salt, though it says Americans still get
much too much. It’s recommending the first real
limits on added sugar, saying that’s especially a
problem for young people.
The Agriculture and Health and Human Services Departments will take those recommendations into account in writing final 2015 dietary
guidelines by the end of the year. The guidelines
affect nutritional patterns throughout the country — from federally subsidized school lunches
to food package labels to your doctor’s advice.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said “it
is by no means over” with the release of the
report. The government will take comments on
the advice before distilling it — and possibly
changing it — into final guidelines for consumers.
Even with the changes, the report sticks to
the basic message of the previous guidelines in
2010: Eat more fruits and vegetables and whole
grains; eat less saturated fats, salt and sugar.

It was good
to see him
once again
I continue to learn that grief over the
death of a cherished loved is an ongoing experience.
But, for the believer in Jesus Christ,
it is a wonderfully comforted process,
for which I give thanks to the Lord. It
has been nearly 13 years since our third
son, Eran, died, and Terry and I still
Ron
grieve. But, again, the Lord still gives
Branch
reasons that make it a wonderfully comPastor
forted process.
Early Sunday morning, I had a
dream. I was standing at the patio doors in the kitchen
looking out to the back side of the house. Our sons in
their younger ages began making their way around the
corner of the house, left to right. I particularly visualized Micaiah who had in one hand a stick, which he
mischievously brandished at me as he passed.
But, I gasped as I saw one more appear. It was Eran
at about 8 years-old. He stopped at the edge of the
patio as I slid the door open and stepped outside. He
had on a pair of shorts with no shirt or shoes. A cat
was present at his feet.
His presence was just as focused and real to me as
you would be if we encountered one another. I was
surprised how real he appeared to me. I stooped to
one knee about three feet from him. I spoke to him,
“Eran, it is so good to see you.” I strained to soak in
the moment.
He asked me two questions, but I could not make
out what he asked. Then, he walked back toward to
the edge of the woods. Immediately, my dream dissipated, and I woke up. I felt a little disappointed that
something that seemed so realistic was not real at all.
But, I had such a good, warm feeling that, though not
real, I had gotten to see my boy once again.
I attach no spooky interpretation to this dream. It
was merely a dream. It has, however, covered my soul
these last several days in terms of renewed comfort I
feel. After all, Terry and I continue as grieving parents
about the boy. We miss him. But, again, it is a comforted grief that continues to be uplifted by our faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ and the peace He gives.
And, the same holds true for so many of you. Christian loved ones have been called of God out into eternity, and you continue to be touched with grief only
to have it mollified by the wonderful peace that comes
from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Of course, the prime point of comfort and peace
from the Lord is that there is Heaven to go to. If there
were not the hope of Heaven, why be a believer in
Christ? But, His death on the Cross and Resurrection
from the dead are powerful events He endured and
accomplished that prove the reality of Heaven. On
those two bases alone we have the hope of Heaven for
both our cherished loved ones and ourselves.
Our grief is also comforted by the manifested Word
of God which gives an astounding reason why God
calls out the believer to go to Heaven. Through Isaiah,
God clarifies, “The righteous perish, and no man lays
it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none
considering that the righteous is taken away from the
evil to come.”
That being true, God demonstrates His great graciousness. It is something that we need to lay to heart
and trust the God of the living that He knows what He
is doing. It is useless to speculate what evil to come it
may be. But, of prime importance it is to trust God’s
wisdom on the matter.
Of course, going hand in glove, the hope of Heaven
gives us great comfort in knowing that our cherished
loved one is still alive. They are just living in a far better place. That consideration comforts Terry and me
all the time.
In the meantime, I know it was just a dream. But,
still, it was good to see him.

A HUNGER FOR MORE
Of the struggles that
beset us as Christians, the
inward battle raging within
our hearts and minds is the
most insidious.
We may very well
be experiencing strife
between ourselves and
others, feeling oppression and animosity from
those who simply don’t yet
understand the higher life
to which we’ve been called,
and even experiencing persecution for the fact of our
walking with Jesus. But
the greatest conflict that
any of us face is actually
fought within ourselves,
the result of the clash of
His newly established presence within us and the habits and attitudes of what
we were before we came to
know Him
“For we know that the
law is spiritual, but I am of
the flesh, sold under sin.
I do not understand my
own actions. For I do not
do what I want, but I do
the very thing I hate. Now
if I do what I do not want,
I agree with the law, that
it is good. So now it is no
longer I who do it, but sin
that dwells within me. For
I know that nothing good
dwells in me, that is, in my
flesh. For I have the desire
to do what is right, but not
the ability to carry it out.
For I do not do the good
I want, but the evil I do
not want is what I keep on

bodies as “living sacrifices”
to Him, He moves through
our trust and obedience
and does the work of transformation of our hearts
and our minds. A saturation of His presence trains
our minds to think in different channels than has
been our habit and allows
us to “swim up the stream”
of the conventional wisdom of the world. It slowly
but surely has the effect of
loosening our flesh’s “vice
grip” on our minds and
habits as He starts cutting
the chains of our old nature
away and sets us free to
live the liberated life that
Jesus has promised us.
“Jesus answered him, ‘If
anyone loves Me, he will

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE
Jesus said that unless men
repented, they would perish.
(Luke 13:3)
The scriptures, contemplating the patience of God,
reminded us that God does
not desire men to perish, but
instead wants men to come
to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Speaking to the Athenian
Aeropagus, the apostle Paul
declared that God commanded
all men everywhere to repent
(Acts 17:30).
When the Jews realized they
had crucified the Son of God,
they cried out, “What shall we
do?” They were told by Peter
and the other apostles, “Repent
and be baptized.”
Again and again in the pages
of the New Testament we read
the refrain: Repent!
But what is repentance? And
how do we know when one has
repented? How do we know if
we have repented of our sins
like God wants?
Firstly, repentance is not the
same as being sorry. People are

produces death. For observe
generally, that individual is

ducing the works of righteousness within themselves.
Thus, when John the Baptist
came preaching the Kingdom
and declaring to the Jews a
baptism of repentance for
the forgiveness of their sins,
he also said to them, “bear
fruits worthy of repentance!”
(Luke 3:8) When queried as
to what this meant, he taught
them, saying, “He who has two
tunics, let him give to him who
has none; and he who has food,
let him do likewise.” To the
Tax Collectors, notorious for
their greed, he said, “Collect no
more than what is appointed
for you.” And to soldiers, a
group given to extortion and
intimidation, he warned, “Do
not intimidate anyone or
accuse falsely, and be content
with your wages.” (Luke 3:1014) In each case, repentance
needed to be accompanied by a
change in behavior.
The apostle Paul taught the
Ephesians something very
similar, saying “Therefore,
putting away lying, ‘Let each

one of you speak truth with his
neighbor,’ for we are members
of one another. Be angry, and
do not sin: Do not let the sun go
down on your wrath, nor give
place to the devil. Let him who
stole steal no longer, but rather
let him labor, working with his
hands what is good, that he may
have something to give him who
has need.” (Ephesians 4:25-27)
Anyone can say they are
sorry. What God wants, however, are changed lives. Such a
change starts with sorrow, but
it cannot end there. We must,
like the Corinthian church, recognizing our fault, be diligent
and zealous in trying to clear
ourselves, vehemently desiring to be pleasing to God in all
things. It is then we will bear
the fruits worthy of repentance.
If you would learn more of
what God wants from men, the
church of Christ invites you to
study and worship with us at

Obama touts conservation as US ideal
By Josh Lederman
and Matthew Daly
Associated Press

CHICAGO — Designating the country’s newest
national monuments,
President Barack Obama
said Thursday that protecting places of natural beauty
and historic significance is
a truly American ideal.
Obama used the powers of the presidency to
designate the Pullman
National Monument in his
hometown. The historic
South Side neighborhood
is where African-American
railroad workers won a significant labor agreement in
the 1930s that Obama said
led to such protections as
the 40-hour work week.
“So this site is at the
heart of what would
become America’s labor
movement,” he said.
Pullman workers also
played a role in the rise of
the black middle class.
Obama began his career
as a community organizer
nearby and said returning
to designate the monument “brings back a lot of
good memories.”
Before leaving Washington, Obama signed a
proclamation in the Oval
Office designating the
Browns Canyon National
Monument in Colorado, a
21,000-acre site along the
Arkansas River popular for
whitewater rafting. In Chicago, he also announced
designation of the Honouliuli National Monument

in Hawaii, the site of an
internment camp where
Japanese-American citizens and prisoners of war
were held during World
War II.
“Conservation is a truly
American ideal,” Obama
said. “The naturalists and
industrialists and politicians who dreamt up our
system of public lands
and waters did so in the
hope that by keeping these
places, these special places
in trust, places of incomparable beauty, places where
our history was written,
then future generations
would value those places
the same way as we do.”
Obama also announced
a new program to provide
fourth-graders and their
families with free admission to national parks for
a year.
The Pullman designation honors the neighborhood built by industrialist
George Pullman in the
19th century for workers
to manufacture luxurious
railroad sleeping cars.
The 203-acre Pullman
site includes factories
and buildings associated
with the Pullman Palace
Car Company, which
was founded in 1867 and
employed thousands of
workers to construct and
provide service on railroad
cars. While the company
employed a mostly white
workforce to manufacture
railroad passenger cars, it
also hired former slaves to
serve as porters, waiters

and maids on its iconic
sleeping cars.
The railroad industry
— Pullman in particular
— was one of the largest
employers of AfricanAmericans in the United
States by the early 1900s.
Pullman workers played
a major role in the rise of
the black middle class and,
through a labor agreement
won by the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters,
they helped launch the civil
rights movement of the
20th century, the White
House said.
The new monuments
bring to 16 the number
of national monuments
Obama has created under
the 1906 Antiquities Act,
which grants presidents
broad authority to protect

Giuliani questions love of US
By Ken Thomas
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Democrats on Thursday
assailed former New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani
for questioning President
Barack Obama’s love of
country, and urged the
potential field of Republican presidential candidates
to rebuke him for his comments.
Giuliani said at a New
York City event on Wednesday night, “I know this is
a horrible thing to say, but
I do not believe that the
president loves America.”
“He doesn’t love you.
And he doesn’t love me. He
wasn’t brought up the way
you were brought up and
I was brought up through
love of this country,” said
Giuliani, who sought the
2008 GOP presidential
nomination. His comments
were reported by Politico
and the New York Daily
News.
Democratic National
Committee chair Debbie
Wasserman Schultz said it’s
time for Republican leaders
to “stop this nonsense.”
Several likely GOP
candidates declined to
get involved Thursday.
Giuliani, meanwhile, softened his remarks somewhat

in an interview, saying he
didn’t mean to question the
president’s patriotism.
His comments at the
dinner brought to mind a
familiar conservative criticism during Obama’s 2008
and 2012 campaigns that

Canyon region” in central
Colorado, about 140 miles
southwest of Denver.
Outdoors and wildlife
groups applauded the
Browns Canyon designation, saying it would allow
future generations to enjoy
its spectacular landscapes,
world-class whitewater
rafting, hunting and fishing.
Illinois’ senators, Democrat Richard Durbin and
Republican Mark Kirk,
hailed the Pullman designation.
“As Chicago’s first
national park, Pullman’s
135 years of civil rights
and industrial history will
be protected and enjoyed
for generations to come,”
Kirk said. He said the new
park would bring up to
30,000 visitors and more
than $40 million annually.

Lady Raiders advance 4 to districts
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

ATHENS, Ohio — The
River Valley swimming program had four girls advance
to districts Saturday following
the 2015 Division II Southeast
District Sectional Swimming
Tournament held at the Ohio
University Aquatics Center in
Athens County.
The Lady Raiders scored
a single district berth in the
200-yard freestyle relay event,
as the quartet of Kaela Shaw,
Alyssa Lollathin, Kenzie Baker
and Cheyenne Huffman finished fourth overall in sectionals with a mark of 2:05.93.

The foursome posted one
of the top-30 times between
the Southeast and Central
sectionals, which will collective combine this weekend for
the District meet at Ohio State
University in Columbus. The
RVHS ladies also have the 27th
fastest qualifying time headed
into the Silver and Black’s seventh consecutive appearance at
the district level.
The Lady Raiders finished
eighth out of 18 teams with 57
points, while Gallia Academy
was 12th with 16 points and
Meigs tied with Portsmouth
for 13th with 14 points. Athens won the D-2 girls sectional
crown with 194 points, fol-

lowed by runner-up Fairfield
Union with 136 points.
Shaw, a senior, also posted
a pair of top-6 individual finishes, although neither led to
a district advancement. Shaw
was third in the 100 backstroke (1:17.07) and sixth in
the 100 freestyle (1:06.46).
Lollathin, a freshman, did
not advance but was the
runner-up in the 200 freestyle
event with a time of 2:33.64.
Huffman is a sophomore and
Baker is a freshman, rounding
out the grades of the district
qualifiers.
Senior Meghan McDaniel
scored a pair of top-6 efforts
for the Blue Angels, but nei-

ther time was good enough to
get out of sectionals. McDaniel
was third in the 200 freestyle
(2:36.74) and sixth in the 100
backstroke (1:21.07).
Sophomore Elena Musser
also earned a pair of top-6
finishes for the Lady Marauders, although neither time
advanced her to districts.
Musser was fifth in the 100
breaststroke (1:24.45) and
sixth in the 200 individual
medley (2:56.74).
No boys from the Ohio Valley Publishing area qualified
for the district meet as River
Valley placed 10th out of 15
teams with 39 points, while
Gallia Academy was 13th over-

all with 14 points. Marietta
won the D-2 boys crown with
137 points, while Chillicothe
was the runner-up with 123
points.
The Raiders came away with
the only two top-6 efforts in
the boys meet. Garrett Young
was fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:16.68) and Chase
Nance was sixth in the 100
backstroke (1:12.59).

Wolves, Nets
discussing
Garnett trade
MINNEAPOLIS (AP)
— The Timberwolves
and Brooklyn Nets
are discussing a deal
that would bring
Kevin Garnett back to
Minnesota, the place
where his brilliant
career began and to the
franchise that he put on
the map.
The two teams had
exploratory talks on
Wednesday, one day
before the NBA’s trade
deadline, a person
with knowledge of the
discussions told The
Associated Press. The
person requested anonymity because no deal
has been agreed upon.
Garnett spent his first
12 years in Minnesota
and was coached for
much of that time by
Flip Saunders, who
made his own return to
Minnesota before last
season and is now the
president of basketball
operations and coaches
the rebuilding team.
Garnett was traded to
Boston in 2007, won a
championship and made
two NBA Finals appearances with the Celtics.
He has spent the last
two seasons languishing
in a reduced role on the
Nets, one of the league’s
biggest disappointments.
Garnett is in the final
year of a contract that

pays him $12 million
this season and has a
full no-trade clause, giving him all the leverage
in this situation. He is
notoriously resistant to
change, especially in the
middle of a season, and
it remains unclear if he
would uproot his family
to come and play for the
team that has the worst
record (11-42) in the
Western Conference.
But Garnett remains
beloved in the Twin
Cities, receiving thunderous standing ovations every time he
returns to the Target
Center. And the prospects of perhaps finishing his career wearing
that familiar No. 21 on
his back and playing in
front of fans he always
held close to his heart
could appeal to him.
At 21-29, the Nets
are still in the hunt in
the muddled Eastern
Conference. But their
prospects of actually
being competitive in the
playoffs are slim, and if
Garnett does relocate, he
may want to seek out a
team that is ready to contend for a championship.
Saunders, who also
owns a portion of the
team, continues to sing
Garnett’s praises years
after the pairing parted.

Danica Patrick’s replacement car is pushed to her garage past her wrecked car after she was involved in a crash at a practice session
for the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Patrick to a backup car after wreck
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)
— Here are some things to know
about what’s going on at Daytona
International Speedway, where drivers are preparing for Sunday’s seasonopening Daytona 500:
EARLY WRECK: Danica Patrick
and Denny Hamlin wrecked during
Daytona 500 practice Wednesday.
Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet sustained enough damage that she was
forced to switch to a backup car and
will have to start at the back of the
field in the second of two qualifying
races Thursday. Hamlin’s No. 11
Toyota was repairable.
Patrick and Hamlin started the
pileup by making contact coming
out of the second turn. Casey Mears,
Michael Annett and Jeb Burton also
were involved.
Patrick called it “the nature of
pack racing” while Hamlin said “you
always have to give a little bit extra
room in practice.” But neither driver
took full blame, with Hamlin calling it
a “miscalculation one way or another
on one of our parts.”
Patrick, who started on the pole for
the Daytona 500 two years ago, said
she’s disappointed to go to a backup
car.
“I know that it was a good car and
it’s never a good thing to crash,” she
said. “Sometimes there’s not much
you can do about it. I could have collected more people and it wouldn’t
have been anything that they were a
part of. But that’s just group racing at
Daytona. That’s the gamble that we
all face.”
POWERBALL PLAYER: Dale
Earnhardt Jr. could hit the jackpot
twice this week.
The two-time and defending
Daytona 500 champion acknowledged Wednesday that he plays the
lottery even though longtime girlfriend Amy Reimann disapproves.
Earnhardt bought a Powerball
ticket while he was in New York early
last week, hoping to win the $500
million jackpot.

“Amy got mad at me,” Earnhardt
said. “She’s like, ‘What the hell are
you buying a Powerball ticket for?
You don’t need to be winning it.’ And
I promised her right then I would
split half with a charity. So she made
me feel pretty bad.”
Why does a guy who can have just
about anything he wants buy a lottery
ticket?
“I don’t know. Everybody else was
buying them, and I want to play,” he
said. “I want to have fun. ... We’ve
got a group text with all the guys that
work on the farm. We text pictures
back and forth of our Powerball tickets to each other. So we have a little
fun with that.”
Earnhardt doesn’t pick his own
numbers. He goes with the “quickpick.”
“Just give me the ticket,” he said.
“We were talking out of the elevator
and there was this little kiosk of all
kinds of different stuff and somebody
was buying one when we walked
by and I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to get
me one. I don’t even know what I’m
doing. Just give me the ticket.’
“When the numbers came, they
popped up on my phone and that was
pretty convenient. But we didn’t win.
Actually, I won $12 bucks. I hit the
Powerball number. So that gives you
something like 12 bucks.”
Instead of reinvesting in another
lottery ticket, he pocketed the cash.
Asked what his Powerball
number would be if he picked it
himself Wednesday — the 14th
anniversary of his father’s death at
Daytona International Speedway —
Earnhardt’s answer was spot on.
“One number? Three. Three today.
Why not?” he said, referring to the
famed No. 3 his father drove.
CHASE ELIGIBILITY: NASCAR
has updated eligibility for drivers to
qualify for the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship. Drivers must
start all races to be eligible for the
10-race Chase. Under the previous
rule, drivers needed just to attempt

to qualify for every race.
A driver does not lose Chase eligibility for attempting to qualify for a
race and failing to make the field.
NASCAR could offer waivers in
certain circumstances like it did last
season for Tony Stewart and this
season for Brian Vickers. He will miss
the Daytona 500 and next week’s race
in Atlanta following heart surgery.
HISTORIC STARTER: NASCAR
named series official Kim Lopez as the
chief starter for Sunday’s Daytona 500.
Lopez will become the first woman
and first Hispanic to flag the race.
Lopez is in her 11th season with
NASCAR and has flagged races for
the past seven years in the Xfinity
Series and Truck Series. She also
flagged two NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series races last season.
The chief starter displays the eight
flags that tell the drivers to start, slow
down, move over or stop. Lopez also
will wave the checkered flag when the
winner crosses the finish line.
Lopez says: “You have little girls
who can now look up and say, ‘I can
do this someday, I can be this someday.’”
QUALIFYING CHANGES: Just
days after Daytona 500 pole qualifying turned into a debacle, NASCAR
has tweaked qualifying procedures
for its lower series at Daytona
International Speedway.
The Xfinity and Camping World
Truck fields will be divided into four
groups instead of two for the first
round and it will last 2 1/2 minutes
instead of five. That should force cars
to leave pit road instead of playing
cat-and-mouse games with competitors.
NASCAR also will stage cars on pit
road in a single file before the clock
starts. When the cars pull out of line,
they must leave pit road.
On Sunday, the Daytona 500 qualifying session was done in knockout
rounds for the first time in 57 years.
Drivers jockeyed for position on pit
road, leading to a traffic jam.

Jerome Kersey dies at 52
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —
Jerome Kersey, the versatile small
forward who helped the Portland
Trail Blazers reach two NBA
Finals and won a title with the
San Antonio Spurs in 1999, died
Wednesday. He was 52.
The cause of death wasn’t
immediately known.
A team ambassador, Kersey
appeared Tuesday with fellow
former Blazers Terry Porter and
Brian Grant at a Portland high
school in celebration of African
American History Month.
“Today we lost an incredible person and one of the most
beloved players to ever wear a
Trail Blazers uniform,” Blazers
owner Paul Allen said in a statement. “My thoughts and condolences are with the Kersey family.
He will be missed by all of us. It’s
a terrible loss.”
Kersey averaged 10.3 points
and 5.5 rebounds in 17 seasons
in the NBA with Portland,
Golden State, the Los Angeles
Lakers, Seattle, San Antonio and
Milwaukee. He helped the Blazers
reach the NBA Finals in 1990 and

1992, playing alongside Porter,
Clyde Drexler, Kevin Duckworth
and Buck Williams.
“He was the greatest guy, the
nicest friend, teammate and
brother. He was loved by everyone. We will all miss him. He
just cared so much,” Drexler told
Comcast SportsNet Northwest.
“This is unbelievable.”
Kersey had his best season in
1987-88, averaging 19.2 points
and 8.3 rebounds. Kersey played
in 1,153 regular-season games,
also averaging 1.9 assists and 1.2
steals.
The former Longwood
University star ranks second on
Portland’s career games list with
831, third in minutes played at
21,400, second in rebounds with
5,078, third steals with 1,059, and
fifth in points with 10,067.
At 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, “No
Mercy” Kersey had a broad smile
and a warm manner that made
him a fan favorite.
Trail Blazers guard Damian
Lillard posted to Twitter: “Spoke
to him regularly about life and
the ups and downs of a NBA sea-

son. Gone too soon, much love!”
Others who posted their condolences included Kobe Bryant and
Vince Carter.
Kersey retired from basketball
in 2001. He was an assistant
coach with Milwaukee in 200405 under Porter. In addition to
serving as a team ambassador,
he appeared on Blazers’ broadcasts for Comcast SportsNet
Northwest.
At Longwood, a Division II
school in Farmville, Virginia,
Kersey averaged 17 points and
11.3. He was a second-round pick
by the Blazers in the 1984 draft.
“The news is so sudden, and
we’re sure more details will be
forthcoming,” Blazers President
Chris McGowan said. “But it is
indeed a sad day for our organization, the city of Portland and the
NBA. Jerome will be remembered
not only for his incredible contributions on the court, but his
tremendous impact in our community.”
Kersey lived with wife Teri in
Lake Oswego.

Larry Fitzgerald stays with Arizona
PHOENIX (AP) —
Larry Fitzgerald is staying with the Arizona
Cardinals, the only home
he’s known in his 11-year
NFL career.
The eight-time Pro
Bowl wide receiver has
agreed to a restructured, two-year contract, Cardinals general
manager Steve Keim
announced at the NFL
combine in Indianapolis
on Wednesday.
The deal guarantees
Fitzgerald $11 million in
each of the two years, a
person with knowledge
of the details said, and
will save the Cardinals
nearly $13 million off
their salary cap figure.
The person spoke to
The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity because the salary
figures had not officially
been made public.
Fitzgerald, the widely
popular longtime face
of the franchise, had
four years remaining on
his previous contract,
which would have paid
him $16.5 million next
season with a whopping
$23.6 million cap hit.
“There were two
things we wanted out

of this deal,” Keim said.
“No. 1, we wanted to
compensate Larry for
the type of players he is
and, No. 2, we wanted to
set up a deal that would
give us enough cap room
to improve the team.”
Keim and Cardinals
President Michael
Bidwill had said that
resolving the contract
issue with Fitzgerald was
the team’s top offseason priority. They had
long maintained they
wanted Fitzgerald to
end his career with the
Cardinals.
“Once we decided to
put our foot on the gas
pedal we got it done
pretty quickly,” Keim
said.
If an agreement had
not been reached, the
Cardinals faced the prospect of releasing arguably the most successful
player in franchise history. Certainly no player
has made more money
off the team in its history.
The restructuring
needed to be worked out
before Fitzgerald was
due an $8 million roster
bonus on March 14.
The 31-year-old

Fitzgerald has broken
virtually every Cardinals
receiving records since
he was selected by
Arizona as the No. 3
overall pick in the 2004
draft. The marks include
career receptions, yards
receiving and touchdowns. He has 38 100yard receiving games.
Teaming with Kurt
Warner in Arizona’s run
to the Super Bowl in the
2008 season, Fitzgerald
broke single postseason
records for yards receiving (546), receptions
(30) and touchdowns
(seven). He is the only
player to have four 100yard receiving games in
a single playoff run.
In 170 regular-season
games, Fitzgerald has
909 catches for 12,515
yards and 89 touchdowns. He has caught a
pass in 165 consecutive

Saunders often references Garnett’s development from
a straight-out-of-high-school lottery pick in 1995 into
one of the most versatile and intense power forwards
the league has ever seen when talking about the plan
to bring along current youngsters Andrew Wiggins,
Zach LaVine, Gorgui Dieng and Shabazz Muhammad.
But the Wolves would likely have to give up forward Thaddeus Young in the deal to make the salaries match up, and team executives are still mulling
whether to move a 26-year-old starter in his prime for
30 games of Garnett. After a slow start to the season
that included enduring the sudden death of his mother, Young has started to play much better since Ricky
Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin returned
from long injury absences. He is also a trusted veteran
and valued voice in the locker room.
The pluses for the Wolves would include having one
of the NBA’s hardest workers in Garnett set a tone
for the promising young nucleus on this roster and
perhaps pave a way for Garnett to join the ownership
group when he retires. Moving Young would also free
up some cap space for next season as he has a $10
million player option for next season that he is likely
to exercise.
ESPN first reported the talks.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jordan Spieth has his eyes
on a record held by Fred Couples, and it has nothing
to do with a green jacket or getting to No. 1 in the
world.
It’s about a Texas kid who is smitten by Riviera.
The 55-year-old Couples is playing the Northern
Trust Open for the 33rd time. Spieth wasn’t even born
when Couples first added his name to the history at
Riviera with his victory in 1990. He loves it here. And
so does Spieth.
“I got to thinking,” Spieth said after he finished
his pro-am round Wednesday evening. “I could break
Freddie’s record here. I’d have to play every year until
I’m 51. But I started earlier than he did.”
Spieth was born and raised in Texas, yet he looks
forward to this stretch on the PGA Tour as much as
any, particularly Riviera.
The Northern Trust Open, which starts Thursday,
is the end of the West Coast Swing on tour and it is
unlike any other three-week stretch all season. This is
the third straight U.S. Open venue on the PGA Tour,
starting with Torrey Pines, up the coast to Pebble
Beach and now Riviera.
“I love the West Coast. I love being out here. It’s
different,” Spieth said. “I love the beach, the water,
the weather has been unbelievable — we’ve been
lucky — and I like playing different grasses, the slope,
the challenging courses. Last week wasn’t the case (at
Pebble), but the South (at Torrey Pines) and this one,
it’s like playing U.S. Open courses. And we don’t get
that all year.”
Spieth isn’t alone in his affection for the West
Coast.
Jimmy Walker, Oklahoma born and Texas bred, considers Riviera one of his favorite tournaments of the
year. Hunter Mahan’s wife was due with their second
child sometime in early February. Mahan knew he was
going to have to miss one of the West Coast events,
and he knew it was out of his control. His only wish
was that it would not cause him to miss Riviera.
His wish was granted. Their son was born on
Friday of Torrey Pines a few weeks ago. Mahan is in
the field for the Northern Trust Open.
What is it about Riviera that enamors so many players?
“Right off the bat, for me personally, I say that
they don’t tweak it. It’s been the same,” said Bubba
Watson, the defending champion who last year went
64-64 on the weekend and didn’t make a bogey over
the last 39 holes. “They are letting the golf course just
defend itself. And then when you look at the history,
the great names — like Bubba Watson on the trophy,
things like that.”
He was kidding. Probably.
“You look at the great names on there, it’s an honor
to be a part of,” he said. “Every tournament has history, but ... they just leave it the way it is. They let
the grass and the wind and the humps and bumps of
the greens define their golf course instead of trying to
make it extra long.”
Maybe that explains that in the era of technology
and athletes, the tournament record was set by Lanny
Wadkins in 1985.

games. His streak of
110 consecutive games
played was broken when
he missed two due to a
knee injury last season.
His role changed with
the arrival of coach
Bruce Arians in 2013.
Fitzgerald was moved
from his accustomed
spot as a wideout to slot
receiver. That meant he
was the target of shorter
passes, not the long,
downfield, acrobatic
grabs that had been his
trademark. It was a
change that Fitzgerald
may have not liked privately, but he maintained
a positive public face
about it.
Last season was his
least productive since his
rookie year. He caught
63 passes for 784 yards
and a career-low two
touchdowns.
