Racine Grange honors WWII vets By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Commissioner Randy Smith talked about the 2015 Meigs County budget at the recent Meigs County Tea Party meeting. Smith said the current budget, $5 million, is one of the largest ever appropriated. Revenue is being realized from the collection of local sales tax and property taxes, which is evidence that people are buying locally, allowing Meigs residents to reap the benefits. Upcoming projects include putting a new roof on the Senior Citizens Center, tearing down the old Veteran’s Memorial Hospital and building a new dog shelter. “These are things that are desperately needed,” Smith said. “Before, they just weren’t on the table, but through tax collection, sales tax and hard work from not just elected officials, but all county employees pitching into make this idea that Meigs County can move forward. They helped realize this dream that Meigs County can be better.” Smith said that there are no plans to reduce the sales tax because of the many things that need to be done. He lamented that Gov. John Kasich is threatening to take money away from local Jobs and Family Services and give it to non-profit organizations like Community Action, which is run by unelected officials, Smith said. “Meigs does a great job,” he said. “Our Job and Family Services does a great job. When I worked there in 2000, they had about 52 employees, and now they have (less) doing the same work with half the staff.” Currently, Meigs County Job and Family Services has 38 employees, according to their offices. Smith also mentioned that the U.S. Coast Guard approved the last permit for the barge facility that is to be constructed in Portland. This would mean a $9 million investment for the area and an additional 40 high-paying jobs. He invited any local group who wanted him or another commissioner to speak about Meigs County at their meeting to call 992-2895. The group also had another guest speaker, Ed Rake, southeast coordinator for the Ohio Liberty See BUDGET | 5 — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 — SPORTS Basketball: 6 Schedule: 6 — FEATURES Television: 7 Classified: 8 Comics: 9 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Don’t go cheap when filing taxes Financial expert explains why a good CPA, not a part-timer, should be hired For Ohio Valley Publishing It’s that time of year for part-time help at the local tax-preparation location, when drivers can see seasonal staff standing at busy intersections wearing costumes of the Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam. But they’re not the only ones who are hired part time, says professional advisor to Certified Public Accountants Gary Marriage Jr. “I sometimes ask people, ‘Do you want a guy in a costume to handle your taxes?’ Of course, the guy actually doing the paperwork probably won’t be the guy standing near the traffic, but he’s also not the person you want dealing with your bottom line,” says Marriage, CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors (www.naturecoastfinancial.com). “I know millionaires who go to these popup tax firms; they’d rather spend a few hundred dollars on their return than a grand or two with a skilled folks who need reminders that there are legal avenues available for protecting their hardearned money.” š�>_]^#d[j#mehj^� individuals should the most incentive for CPA.

Stakeholders join for summer food summit Staff report Khalil Hamra | AP An Israeli warplane leaves a vapor trail in the sky over Gaza City on Sunday. Israel's defense ministry said Sunday that it will purchase 14 next-generation F-35 fighter jets for approximately $3 billion adding to the fleet of 19 U.S-made jets it already purchased in 2010. Israel plans for the stealth jet to replace its fleet of F-16 warplanes and maintain its aerial dominance in the region.

Experts say Iran already could produce the equivalent of one weapon’s worth of enriched uranium with its present operating 10,000 centrifuges. Several officials spoke of 6,500 centrifuges as a potential point of compromise, with the U.S. trying to restrict them to Iran’s mainstay IR-1 model instead of more advanced machines. However, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said last year that his country needed to increase its output equivalent to at least 190,000 of its present-day centrifuges. Under a possible agreement, Iran also would be forced to ship out most of the enriched uranium it produced or change it to a form that would be difficult to convert for weapons use. It takes about one ton of low-enriched uranium to process into a nuclear weapon, and officials said that Tehran could be restricted to an enriched stockpile of no more than about 700 pounds. COLUMBUS — In Ohio, more than 787,000 school-aged children participate in the National School Lunch Program, receiving free or subsidized school meals during the school year. The federal Summer Food Service Program is designed to help those same children access healthy meals during the summer months. Yet only about one in ten eligible children in Ohio participate in the Summer Food Service Program. “The summer food program can and does work in communities with leaders that have embraced the importance of adequate child nutrition year-round,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. “There are a lot of potential barriers to making the program work. We recognize those barriers and are working with our state and national partners to address them. But we also know that many communities are putting this program to work for their kids, and we want to elevate their success.” About 150 federal, state and local stakeholders came together Friday for the fourth annual statewide Summer Food Service Summit, held at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank in Grove City. Attendees heard about national best practices from representatives from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service and best practices from some of their Ohio peers. Attendees also received updates and information from the Ohio Department of Education’s Office of Child Nutrition. As federal Child Nutrition Reauthorization approaches in September 2015, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks also called on attendees to remain engaged and make legislators aware of the needs of their programs and the children they serve. “We need your continued hard work to make the summer food program work for the kids that you serve,” said HamlerFugitt. “We also need your voice in the coming months to offer your recommendations to improve the program as Child Nutrition Reauthorization nears. We need you to stay vigilant and work with us to protect all sources of nutrition for children, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is under attack on so many fronts.” Schools and organizations interested in learning more about the Summer Food Service Program can visit the Ohio Department of Education website or call 877-644-6338 for more information.

Meanwhile, the Senate has yet to vote on the DHS funding bill. That’s because the upper chamber’s Democratic minority has blocked a vote not once, but four times. The result is that the temporary funding for DHS that Democrats and Republicans approved in November will run out Friday if the Senate fails to approve additional funding before then. At this point, it seems unlikely that the impasse will be resolved before then. That’s because Democrats object to provisions of the House bill that would undo executive actions announced by President Obama in November that would bestow temporary legal status on as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants. Democrats say they will stand their ground until Republicans present them a so-called “clean” bill that funds DHS without also defunding Mr. Obama’s expansion of an immigration program he unilaterally created in 2012 — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — and another he created in November — Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson echoes Democrats on Capitol Hill. “If people in Congress want to have that debate about immigration reform,” he said on CNN, “let’s have that debate, but don’t tie that to funding public safety at Homeland Security for the American people.” Well, we certainly don’t want to see DHS temporarily shut down and 30,000 of its civil servants furloughed — although we don’t think the safety of the American people will be imperiled if the shutdown were to last a few days (or even weeks). Shutdown or not, some 200,000 DHS employees — 85 percent of the department’s workforce — will remain on the job because they have been designated as “essential.” The U.S. Secret Service will still be operational, as will U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and other agencies under the DHS umbrella. So the issue over the DHS budget really isn’t about homeland security. It’s about President Obama’s questionable employment of executive authority to remake immigration law, usurping the power the Constitution vests in Congress alone. Indeed, last Monday — Presidents Day — a federal judge in Texas ruled that Homeland Security didn’t have the legal authority to implement Mr. Obama’s expansion of DACA and creation of DAPA. That injunction seems to us to vindicate the action of House Republicans in “fully funding” DHS, but rightly refusing to fund the executive action by President Obama that, in their view, set the Constitution on end.

The lesson of “Fifty Shades” should be: Ladies, don’t try this at home. In real life, trying to reform manipulative and abusive men only ends in tears, and becoming subject to sexual humiliation only brings humiliation. The edge is taken off “Fifty Shades” by its sheer ridiculousness — the movie is punctuated by moments of inadvertent hilarity — and its fairy-tale ending. Anastasia maintains her identity, even though Christian wants to obliterate it. And over the course of the three books in the franchise, Christian Grey is indeed reformed and tamed, and Anastasia forms a happy family with him. It’s Ward and June Cleaver, via a pleasure room that looks like something out of a Restoration Hardware catalog. Needless to say, there are easier routes to marital bliss, and they never involve anyone like Christian Grey, who gives the patriarchy a bad name.

An Associated Press reporter on Monday saw Ukrainian forces moving back from around the town of Debaltseve, which was captured last week by rebel forces after a fierce weekslong siege. Both Stelmakh and Fedichev said rebels are still trying to overrun a Ukrainian government position in the village of Shyrokyne, on the outskirts of the strategic port city of Mariupol. Rebels began moving toward Mariupol last August, raising concerns they were seeking to seize the city in order to establish a land corridor between mainland Russia and the Russia-annexed Crimean peninsula. In Mariupol, police clashed with three suspected militants after stopping their car; one policeman and one suspect were killed in the shootout, regional Vadim Ghirda | AP An elderly woman tries to get the attention of a Russia-backed separatist while waiting for a delivery of humanitarian relief to a bicycle in Debaltseve, Ukraine on Monday.

He said a bag containing explosives was found after the Monday evening clash. Russia has denied arming the rebels, a denial scoffed at by Western nations and NATO, who point to satellite pictures of Russian weapons in Ukraine. Ukraine’s economy has been badly hit by more than a year of crisis that began with the protests that eventually drove out Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014. On Monday, its hryvnia currency took a sharp fall of about 9 percent; it’s now about 70 percent lower than a year ago. Ukraine’s national bank on Monday announced that payments in foreign currencies would be capped at $500,000 without letters of credit from foreign banks, a move to stem capital outflows that would weaken the currency further.

To avoid a national outcry, advocates of the national standards started out by focusing just on mathematics and English, two subjects expected to be the least controversial among the voting and taxpaying public. Even in those fields, however, critics have already slammed the curricula as woefully inadequate and a step back in terms of properly educating children. Meanwhile, standards for science and social studies are already in the works, according to the release. Alex Newman writes in the New American August 2013 issue titled Common Core: A Scheme to Rewrite Education that “leaders from Hitler to Stalin, and everywhere in between, have always sought to centralize and control education.” “The reason is simple” the author writes. “Whoever molds the minds of the youth can eventually dominate the population, even if it takes a generation or two. That is why tyrants in recent centuries have demanded compulsory, governmentled education. We know it today as Common Core.” According to Rake, citizens in the Marietta area, in coordination with Hillsdale College, have started a private school that does not have Common Core curricula and takes no government funding. Students are learning classical literature, Latin, Greek and the Constitution. Rake encouraged folks to read “Being George Washington,” a very inspirational book written by Glenn Beck. Dave Fennessy spoke about the Mid-Ohio Valley Christian School’s “Extravaganza” to be held April 11. A Ford Taurus will be donated by Norris Northup Dodge as one of the prizes. Peter Martindale, a former president of the Meigs Tea Party group, and his wife, Betsy, spoke about their ministry at a university in China, where they are teaching English. Peter mentioned the students are very open to the Gospel and many are being saved. Betsy said that the Chinese students are so hungry for freedom and that we should not take the freedoms we have in America for granted. Tom Gannaway shared from a commentary by David Barton in “The Founder’s Bible,” titled “Righteous Judges,” which is based on II Chronicles 19:6-7 and Isaiah 1:26. The clear principle is that “the righteousness of a land is affected by the righteousness of its judges.” Our American judiciary has drifted far from its original design, imposing many of America’s unrighteous policies, the release said.

Bonner said more than 400 foreign runners had signed up with his agency alone for the event, which is to be held April 12.

Eastern began the second canto with a 7-3 run, expanding the lead to 19-11 with five minutes left in the half. Southern rattled off six straight points, trimming the deficit to one-point.

Eastern held advantages in field goal percentage 34.6-to33.3, rebounds 16-to-15, and turnovers 7-to-8 in the first half. Southern stormed out of the half, scoring the first six points to take a 25-23 lead less than two minutes into second half.

The Eastern girls basketball team earned its 10th consecutive sectional championship Sunday afternoon, as the Lady Eagles topped Ironton St. Joesph by a 53-48 count, at Larry R.

The Lady Eagles (18-6) began the game with a 5-2 run, but the Lady Flyers (16-6) answered with a 7-1 run to take the 9-6 lead with 3:50 to play in the opening period. Both teams managed six points over the remainder of the first and Ironton St. Joe led 15-12 through eight minutes of play. Eastern outrebounded ISJ 9-to-3 in the opening stanza, but the Lady Eagles committed four turnovers. Eastern battled back to take a 24-21 lead midway through the second canto, but the Purple and Gold rattled off seven straight points to regain the lead. EHS ended the half on a 4-to-2 run, but ISJ took the 30-28 lead into the break. The Green and Gold held an 18-to-9 rebounding advantage in the first half, while shooting 11-of-27 from the field. Ironton St. Joe scored five of the first seven points of the second half, but the Lady Eagles answered with a 12-to-3 to end the third quarter with a 42-38 advantage. The Lady Flyers shot just 2-of-15 from the field in the third, with 1,000-point scorers Hannah Miller and Amber Neal both being held scoreless in period by the EHS defense.

In the second half we managed to play better defense and we got more into a grove instead of trying to force our offense.

Westfall sank 21-of-51 shot attempts for 41 percent, including a 3-of-15 effort from behind the arc for 20 percent. The hosts were also 17-of-25 at the charity stripe for 68 percent. Kelsey Robinson led WHS with a game-high 27 points, O.J. Mathes with 17 markers – seven of which came in overtime. Mathes also hauled in a game-high nine rebounds. Kelly Fuches was next with eight points, while Regan Stonerock and Emily Walker respectively rounded out the winning tally with seven points and two markers. It was the final basketball game for seniors Rachael Smith, Chelsea Copley and Carli Dillon in the Silver and Black. Evans-Moore showed her appreciation for the upperclassmen afterwards and also hopes that the returning players have learned well from their mentors. “All the seniors have been great leaders for our team this year, especially during the first run through a new league,” Evans-Moore said. “They’ve really shown the younger players what it takes to be successful and they will be missed. At the same time we have a lot of players coming back, so we have to build on this and get better for next year.” River Valley lost two in BROADCAST 3 4 6 6 PM WSAZ News (WSAZ) 3 WTAP News (WTAP) at Six ABC 6 News (WSYX) at 6:00 p.m. Arthur 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE Eyewitness News at 6 10TV News at 6 p.m. Two and a Half Men BBC World News: America 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM 6:30 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. 19 FOR 12 MONTHS.

(AP) — Joey Logano had a shot to win the NASCAR championship last year. A flawed late pit stop cost him the chance, and he went into the offseason determined to get back into contention again. A win in the season-opening Daytona 500 on Sunday gave Logano the head start he wanted. His victory earned him an automatic berth into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and put him at the front of the field after a week dominated by the biggest names in NASCAR. He was motivated by a sign in the Team Penske gymnasium that reads, “Effort equals results.” That one phrase inspired Logano to put in countless hours watching video of past superspeedway races with his crew chief and his spotter. “We did everything we possibly could to prepare ourselves for this race,” Logano said. “It’s so cool to see that phrase come to life: Effort equals results.” More than two years after nearly washing out of one of NASCAR’s top rides, Logano won the biggest race of his career by outlasting the field over a white-knuckle final 50 miles of three-wide racing. The victory, which came under caution as a late wreck froze the field and allowed Logano to coast across the finish line, was another nod to the job Roger Penske has done with the driver he hired for the start of the 2013 season. Nicknamed “Sliced Bread” when he broke into the Sprint Cup Series at 18 because so many predicted him to be the next big thing, Logano found himself searching for a new job after four underwhelming seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing. Penske snatched him up, jumpstarted his career and got his second Daytona 500 victory via Logano. One of the most respected team owners in motorsports, “The Captain” also has a record 15 Indianapolis 500 wins. Logano reflected after the win on the end of his run with Gibbs and the uncertainty he had about his future at just 22 years old. “Some of the emotions you go through, you start to think, ‘Man, am I going to have a job next year?’ That’s kind of hard as a race car driver,” Logano said. “I poured all my eggs in one basket. You don’t know what’s going to happen. “Who would ever guess three Notices Business & Trade School Apartments/Townhouses NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

But Austin Dillon spun him on the last lap, and he sputtered across the finish line in 33rd. “I’m a little bit sad this is my final Daytona 500,” Gordon said, “but I’m more upset we didn’t have a shot at winning there at the end.” ___ REPEAT DENIED: Dale Earnhardt Jr. lost his chance to become the first repeat Daytona 500 winner since Sterling Marlin in 1995. Earnhardt stalked the leaders late until a strategic error on a restart with 19 laps left dumped him from contention. Earnhardt rallied for a third-place finish in his first race with new crew chief Greg Ives. “We had a really fast car, maybe the best car here,” Earnhardt said.

In game two, the RedStorm blew open a tight game with a three-run fourth inning uprising and freshman pitcher Brady Knittel (West Portsmouth, OH) held the Cardinals at bay to complete the sweep.

Southern sophomore Faith Teaford hit an old-fashioned three-pointer with 21 seconds to go, the Lady Tornadoes’ first field goal of the fourth period, cutting Eastern’s lead to just two points. Eastern junior Carson Roney knocked down back-to-back free throws to make it a two score game with 19 seconds left on the clock. Lady Eagles senior Haley Stanley came up with a steal before the Purple and Gold could cross half court and she was sent to the line with 14 seconds to play. Stanley sank both free throws, pushing the lead to six points. Southern attempted a desperation threepointer that came up short and the Lady Eagles held on for the 46-40 triumph. The Lady Tornadoes committed six fourth quarter turnovers and shot just 5-of12 from the charity stripe in the finale. “At the end we had a hard time handling their 1-3-1,” first year SHS head coach Kent Wolfe said. “We knew what we wanted to do, but we just didn’t make the right pass to get where we needed to be.
