MEIGS COMMISSIONERS

Bid accepted
for roof repair
By Lindsay Kriz
lkriz@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners on Thursday chose the bid of Jim Clifford
Construction for the repairs of the Meigs County
Health Department roof.
Cost, including a 20-year warranty, is $29,730.
The commissioners agreed to have Clifford start
on the project as soon as the weather permits.
The commissioners approved a resolution
authorizing Chris Shank, the local Jobs and Family Services director, and a planning committee,
to conduct a public hearing on the Title 20 (Adult
Protective Services) Profile.
The committee will then make a record of the
hearing and submit their final report to the Ohio
Department of Jobs and Family Services. These
services are provided throughout the fiscal year,
from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. A public hearing
date was not established at the time that the commissioners approved the resolution.
Commissioners also passed a resolution for
Buckeye Hills. Commissioner Randy Smith
explained that the resolution asked for counties
inside the regional district — Meigs, Athens,
Hocking, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry and
Washington counties — to support funding allocated for the administration of Buckeye Hills and
other regional developmental districts.
The Community Development Block Grant contract was approved by the commissioners, and is
an annual Tuppers Plains Water District contract
that goes through the commissioners, Smith said.
The commissioners also approved bill and last
week’s minutes.

Campaign to show ‘contrast’
By Dan Sewell
Associated Press

CINCINNATI —
Ohio’s Republican U.S.
senator said Thursday
his campaign is trying to
quickly highlight the contrast between him and his
new Democratic opponent in the 2016 race.
Rob Portman’s campaign has come out
swinging against former
Gov. Ted Strickland.
It greeted Strickland’s
candidacy announcement Wednesday with a
“Retread Ted” website,
then followed Thursday
with online banner ads
criticizing Strickland for
jobs lost during his governorship.
“I don’t necessarily
think it’s an attack,” Portman told reporters on a
conference call Thursday.
“It’s just setting out the
differences.”
The first-term senator

“It’s going to be competitive no matter who the opponent is. And
certainly, we will be prepared for it.”
— Rob Portman
US Senator

said he’ll keep promoting economic efforts to
help working families,
while claiming Strickland
would take Ohio backward after leaving the
state “in terrible shape”
as governor.
“I wanted to be sure
and establish that contrast early on,” Portman
said.
Strickland said the job
losses came amid the
nationwide recession and
that he had taken steps to
get Ohio’s economy on an
upturn by the time he left
office. Republican John
Kasich defeated him in
his 2010 re-election bid.
The 73-year-old
former congressman
said this week that his

campaign will focus on
expanding job and education opportunities for
everyday people, and
on being the “strong,
outspoken, aggressive
advocate” for working
people he said Portman
hasn’t been.
Cincinnati city councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, 30,
was already seeking the
Democratic nomination.
Strickland’s announcement ratcheted up attention to what’s expected
to be a high-profile, highspending race during a
presidential campaign
year in the swing state.
“It’s going to be competitive no matter who
the opponent is,” Portman
said. “And certainly, we

will be prepared for it.”
Portman, 59, also a former House veteran, and a
former White House budget chief and U.S. trade
representative, reported
as of December having
$5.8 million on hand. A
supporter also recently
announced launch of a
super PAC to independently raise funds.
Portman was a close
supporter of Mitt Romney in 2012 and was
under consideration to be
his running mate. Strickland, meanwhile, was an
active campaigner for
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s
2008 presidential campaign when she defeated
Barack Obama in Ohio’s
primary.

because they said consumers demanded it. But
that started to change
around 2005, when YouTube came online and
Netflix became increasingly popular. On-demand
video began hogging
bandwidth, and evidence
surfaced that some providers were manipulating
traffic without telling
consumers.
By 2010, the FCC
enacted open Internet
rules, but the agency’s
legal approach was eventually struck down in the
courts. The vote Thursday
was intended by Wheeler
to erase any legal ambiguity by no longer classifying the Internet as an
“information service” but
a “telecommunications
service” subject to Title II
of the 1934 Communications Act.
That would dramatically
expand regulators’ power
over the industry and
hold broadband providers
to the higher standard of
operating in the public
interest.

Series to present
Dr. Jennifer Lawless
Staff report

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Dr. Jennifer Lawless, the director of the Women
and Politics Institute at the American
University School of Public Affairs, will
give the next Amicus Curiae lecture
at 7 p.m. March 3, at Foundation Hall,
Lawless
home of the Erickson Alumni Center.
Lawless will speak on the topic,
“Why Women Don’t Run for Office and What Happens When They Do.”
“Study after study finds that when women run for
office, they perform as well as men, both in terms of
the amount of money they raise and the votes they
receive,” Lawless said. “Yet women remain severely
under-represented in U.S. politics. When Congress
convened in January 2015, 81 percent of its members
were men. Men occupy the governor’s mansion in 45
of the 50 states, and they run City Hall in about 90
percent of the largest cities across the country. In fact,
99 nations now surpass the United States in the percentage of women serving in the national legislature.”
In this lecture, Lawless is expected to explain why,
despite cultural evolution and society’s changing
attitudes toward women in politics, running for public office remains a much less attractive and feasible
endeavor for women than it is for men.
In addition to serving as director of the Women and
Politics Institute, Lawless is professor of government
and the faculty affiliate for the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at the American University School of Public Affairs. She also is the editor of
Politics and Gender.
Her commentary on issues related to women in politics has appeared in publications including the New
York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and
The New Yorker. She also has been cited on CNN.

Pot fight between could cost the city
By Ben Nuckols
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The new
mayor of the nation’s capital was hoping to get along fine with Republicans
on Capitol Hill.
Instead, they’ve threatened her with
prison and she has accused them of
acting like bullies in a showdown over
legal pot that could end up costing
District of Columbia residents dearly.
Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser
defied threats from Congress by
implementing a voter-approved initiative on Thursday, making the city
the only place east of the Mississippi
River where people can legally grow
and share marijuana in private.
But Congress still has the final say
over the city’s budget and laws, and
the Republicans in charge seem determined to make Bowser pay.
“We provide half a billion dollars
(annually) to the District. One would
think they would be much more
compliant with the wishes of Congress,” Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland
Republican and one of the most vocal
pot opponents, said in an interview
Thursday.
Actually, the District received
more than $670 million in federal
funding last year to support its $11
billion budget. The federal money is
earmarked for specific programs —
including the city’s court system.
Republicans will “find some areas
where perhaps we have been very
generous with the citizens of the District. That will all come with time,”
Harris warned.
Even top advocates of city autonomy are preparing for tough times on
Capitol Hill.
“I do believe it’s likely this is a
short-lived victory,” said Kimberly

Jacquelyn Martin | AP file

Posters encouraging people to vote yes on DC Ballot Initiative 71 to legalize small
amounts of marijuana for personal use are readied in Washington last year. The initiative
passed, so possession of marijuana will become legal in the nation’s capital. Mayor Muriel
Bowser reiterated Wednesday is defying a threat from Congress that she and other city
leaders could face prison time for implementing the voter-approved initiative.

Perry, executive director of D.C. Vote.
“Members of the House are going to
come after D.C. with a vengeance on
appropriations for 2016.”
Before Bowser announced that she
wasn’t backing down, she spoke with
the chairman of the House Oversight
Committee, Republican Rep. Jason
Chaffetz of Utah, and reiterated that
her goal is not to defy Congress, but
to honor the will of the voters, said
her spokesman, Michael Czin.
“A lot of reasonable people have a
different view of this issue,” Bowser
said Wednesday. “We believe that
we’re acting lawfully.”
Chaffetz said Congress doesn’t
want the District to become “a haven
for smoking pot.”
But Bowser has emphasized that
the change to the marijuana law is
limited in scope.
While possession of up to 2 ounces

of pot or up to three mature plants
for use in the home is legal, buying or
selling pot remains illegal, along with
smoking in public and possessing
marijuana on federal property. The
main difference is that city police will
no longer be handing out $25 civil
fines for possession.
When Republicans are in charge
on Capitol Hill, their priorities often
clash with leaders of the reliably
liberal city, where three out of four
registered voters are Democrats.
For example, Congress has prohibited the District from spending
any money on abortion, except for
a two-year stretch when Democrats
controlled the House and Senate as
well as the White House. When the
abortion restriction was restored in
2011, then-mayor Vincent Gray led
a sit-in outside the Capitol and was
arrested.

Jacob whose father Abraham had been the recipient of
a special covenant with God. Because they choose to
drink the sour elixir of jealousy, Joseph’s own brothers
cast him into a pit and sell him into bondage, delighting in his humiliation. Joseph could be ruined by
resentment and defeated by hopelessness after such an
ordeal, but God has other plans.
Though rejected, Joseph’s trust in God remains and
God blesses him. He works hard and with integrity
follows this new path on which his feet must trod. But
suddenly he is beset with false accusations and is punished as a criminal. Joseph could be poisoned by discouragement and broken by despair after this second
wave of failure in his life, but God has other plans.
Profoundly moving in the faith and character of
Joseph, God takes him from the bottom-most pit of
his life and sets his feet on the path toward renewal.
Surely you see the hand of God moving Joseph closer
to where God would most use him. By allowing him to
be falsely accused and imprisoned, Joseph finds himself in the company of Pharaoh’s royal prisoners. Then,
as God works through Joseph to reveal Himself to the
royal attendants, word is ultimately taken to the most
powerful leader in the world at that time and Joseph
becomes his closest advisor and chief administrator.
Although things are not the same as before trials
invaded his life, Joseph is ushered into an amazing
restoration. Once rejected, he is now held in very high
regard indeed.
Once falsely accused and wrongly punished as a
liar and philanderer, he is so thoroughly trusted now
that the supreme leader of the land entrusts him with
power nearly equal to his own.
Though the wounds of his past have left deep scars,
Joseph has been restored beyond his or anyone’s wildest expectations.
Joseph deeply suffers at his brothers’ hands, but a
day finally comes when he and his brothers are reconciled. Unbelievable that after such suffering at their
hands, Joseph one day falls on their shoulders, weeping
with joy over receiving again the brothers he had lost.
And because of his faith in God’s promises and his
obedience to God’s will for his life, Joseph’s suffering
becomes the means by which the “world” is redeemed
from famine and God’s covenant people are preserved
in order to ultimately inherit all the promises that God
had made to their forefathers.
Today, God’s heart still beats with the pulse of
reconciliation, restoration and redemption for His creation. And we do well to listen to words spoken by the
Savior to a people who thought that God didn’t care
anymore … “My Father is always at His work even
until now …” (from John 5:17).
Restoration? Yes. God grieves over the brokenness of our lives and desires that we be lifted up and
restored to the high and noble life for which He created us. “My steps have held fast to Your paths; my
feet have not slipped. I call on You, O God; for You will
answer me; incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
Wondrously show Your steadfast love, O Savior of
those who seek refuge …” (Psalms 17:5-7a ESV).
Reconciliation? Yes. God desires to renew again our
unfettered fellowship with Him through faith in His
Son, Jesus Christ. Keep in mind that this reconciliation is supremely centered upon our relationship with
God Himself. “For if, when we were God’s enemies,
we were reconciled to Him through the death of His
Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall
we be saved through His life” (Romans 5:10). But it
spins off for us both a capacity and a desire to love one
another as He has loved us (John 15:12).
Redeemed? Yes. Our Father hates that we have
been overpowered and enslaved by sin’s soiled enticements. Even now, He yearns for our release and works
in human hearts to break the bonds of selfishness
and self-satisfaction so that sin may no longer be our
master. “… He entered the Most Holy Place once for
all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption” (Hebrews 9:12b). Christ came and died and lives
again that the world may have hope in spite of its brokenness and helpless condition.
Are you in the midst of a pit of discouragement or
doubt? Are you haunted by humiliation and defeat?
Have you been falsely accused or feel abandoned? You
might be discouraged. You might even be defeated.
But God has other plans for you no matter how
wildly things around the world may seem to be spinning and no matter how out of control your own
life may feel. For any life that is surrendered to Him
through Jesus His Son, there is reconciliation, restoration and redemption. As you allow God to unfold His
plans for you, His power transforms your life and the
lives of others in eternal ways.
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present
time are not worth comparing with the glory that is
to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager
longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the
creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but
because of Him Who subjected it, in hope that the
creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the
children of God” (Romans 8:18-21 ESV).

TODAY IN HISTORY...
Today is Friday, Feb.
27, the 58th day of 2015.
There are 307 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On Feb. 27, 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was
gutted by fire. Chancellor
Adolf Hitler, blaming the
Communists, used the fire
to justify suspending civil
liberties.
On this date:
In 1801, the District
of Columbia was placed
under the jurisdiction of
Congress.
In 1814, Ludwig van
Beethoven’s Symphony No.
8 in F major, Op. 93, was
first performed in Vienna.
In 1911, inventor
Charles F. Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter in Detroit
by starting a Cadillac’s
motor with just the press
of a switch, instead of
hand-cranking.
In 1922, the Supreme
Court, in Leser v. Garnett,
unanimously upheld the
19th Amendment to the
Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women
to vote.
In 1939, the Supreme

Court, in National Labor
Relations Board v. Fansteel
Metallurgical Corp., effectively outlawed sit-down
strikes. Britain and France
recognized the regime of
Francisco Franco of Spain.
In 1943, during World
War II, Norwegian commandos launched a raid
to sabotage a Germanoperated heavy water
plant in Norway. The U.S.
government began circulating one-cent coins made
of steel plated with zinc
(the steel pennies proved
unpopular, since they were
easily mistaken for dimes).
In 1951, the 22nd
Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a president
to two terms of office, was
ratified.
In 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated
the Soviets, 3-2, at the
Winter Games in Squaw
Valley, Calif. (The U.S.
team went on to win the
gold medal.)
In 1968, at the conclusion of a CBS News special
report on the Vietnam War,
Walter Cronkite delivered
a commentary in which he
said the conflict appeared
“mired in stalemate.”
In 1973, members of the

American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet
of Wounded Knee in South
Dakota, the site of the
1890 massacre of Sioux
men, women and children.
(The occupation lasted
until May.)
In 1982, Wayne Williams was found guilty of
murdering two of the 28
young blacks whose bodies
were found in the Atlanta
area over a 22-month
period. (Williams, who was
also blamed for 22 other
deaths, has maintained his
innocence.)
In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, President George H.W. Bush
declared that “Kuwait is
liberated, Iraq’s army is
defeated,” and announced
that the allies would suspend combat operations at
midnight, Eastern time.

Director visits staging site for Empty Bowls
Staff report

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
— Facing Hunger Foodbank
Executive Director Cynthia
Kirkhart visited Marshall
University’s Art Warehouse
on Tuesday for a behindthe-scenes view of the food
bank’s largest fundraiser of
the year, Empty Bowls.
Marshall University’s take
on the national initiative,
Huntington’s version of
Empty Bowls marries art
with community and goodwill. Year-round, students,
area potters and other art
enthusiasts make and donate
bowls for the cause. With
the purchase of a handmade
bowl on the day of the event,
patrons are offered a modest lunch meant to emulate
what one would receive at a
soup kitchen: a small portion
of soup, bread and a drink.
All proceeds from the fundraiser benefit Facing Hunger
Foodbank, the hub for a food
network in parts of West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky.
Kirkhart spoke about the
impact of the class of ten students tasked with producing
a chunk of this year’s bowl
count.
“Your efforts and the
range of money that we
have brought in with
Empty Bowls has been
anywhere from $13,000 to
almost $20,000,” Kirkhart
said. “You really are the
best source of money that
I’ve come across, and I’ve

worked with nonprofits for
30 years.”
Frederick Bartolovic,
Marshall assistant professor
of ceramics, described how
unique the opportunity was
to his students.
“One of the great things
about this class is what you
can begin to see through the
process,” Bartolovic said. “It
gives students the opportunity to see how they, as artists,
can make an impact on the
community, and I think that’s
something that’s very challenging within art education
and within academia in general. In this class, that experience is much more direct than
in another studio class.”
Kaitlin Blatt, sophomore
ceramics major, said she was
inspired by Kirkhart’s visit
and learning more about
the how the proceeds from
Empty Bowls help feed
people.
“I knew with Empty
Bowls I’d have an impact,
but I didn’t realize just how

great it would be,” Blatt said.
“That lit the fire, and I’m just
ready to do all the bowls I
can.”
“One dollar will provide
the foundation for seven
meals. Twenty-thousand
dollars (an amount raised
at a single Empty Bowls
event) can mean 140,000
meals just from Empty
Bowls in one year,” Kirkhart
said. “That’s an impact that

few of us get to enjoy.”
Huntington’s 12th annual
Empty Bowls is scheduled
from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30
p.m. April 17, at First Presbyterian Church. For more

Blue Devils ousted by Unioto, 63-44

Gallia Academy senior Mike Putney (15) dribbles past Unioto defender Kyle
Overly during the first half of Wednesday night’s D-2 sectional semfinal contest
at Southeastern High School in Londonderry, Ohio.

LONDONDERRY, Ohio —
Rarely does a season-ending
loss come with a smile. This
postseason run was one of
those occasional moments.
The Gallia Academy boys
basketball team kept things
respectable deep into the second half, but top-seeded Unioto
ultimately had too much firepower Wednesday night during
a 63-44 decision in a Division
II sectional semifinal contest
at Larry Jordan Gymnasium
on the campus of Southeastern
High School in Ross County.
The ninth-seeded Blue
Devils (5-19) led the opening

three minutes of play and were
within three possessions until
the final 5:14 of regulation,
but the unbeaten Shermans
(23-0) closed the game on a
14-3 surge that wrapped up the
19-point outcome.
The Purple and Gold shot
only 41 percent from the field,
but the hosts hit nine trifectas
and forced 17 turnovers while
leading the final 26:35 of the
game. Unioto – which also
defeated GAHS by a 70-53 count
in last year’s sectional semifinal
– had 10 different players reach
the scoring column.
UHS – which won the Scioto
Valley Conference and finished
the year ranked fourth in the
final D-2 Associated Press poll

– will now face fifth-seeded
Washington Court House in a
sectional final at 7 p.m. Saturday at SEHS.
The Blue Devils – who
defeated Jackson 55-45 Monday night for the program’s
first postseason win in six
years – showed no fear from
the start, as the guests scored
the first two baskets inside for
a 4-0 lead just 1:21 in.
The Shermans missed their
first three shot attempts and
didn’t muster a rebound in the
opening four minutes, but the
hosts still answered with six
consecutive points for a 6-4
edge with 3:01 remaining.

LOGAN, Ohio — If

Kidder with 11 points
in the second.
Kidder added 11
more points in the Warriors’ 21-12 third period

Jared Kennedy and Isaiah English each posted
six points, Cody Bartrum

added five, while Tylar
Blevins marked three.
Jaxon Meadows and Dillon Mahr rounded out
the Marauder total with
two points apiece.
Meigs shot 4-of-9
(44.4 percent) from
the free throw line
and 19-of-59 (32.2
percent) from the field,
including 4-of-15 (26.7
percent) from beyond
the arc. The Marauders
pulled in 43 rebounds,
while marking 10
assists and 23 turnovers in the setback.
Lilly led the Maroon
and Gold with nine
rebounds, followed
by English and Kennedy with seven each.
Bartrum pulled in six
boards, while Lilly,
English and Mahr each
had three assists.
Kidder paced Warren

six points, Kyle Dennis
and Andrew Henthorn
each added five, while
Aaron Mazurkiewicz,
Elijah Mallahan, Bryce
Gandee and Chase
Weihl each finished
with two points.
Warren shot 14-of-21

free throw line, 28-of71 (39.4 percent) from
the field and 6-of-24
(25 percent) from long

Following the game, secondyear GAHS coach Gary Harrison
couldn’t help but smile in talking
about the final game of the 2015
campaign. As he noted, the program won a tournament game
and went down swinging against
one of the best teams in the state
of Ohio.
“By the end of the season, it
was obvious how much better
we had gotten. We peaked at
the right time, played with a lot
of emotion and executed our
game plan pretty well tonight,”
Harrison said. “Unioto just had
more firepower than us, but the
kids played hard and left it on the
floor – which was all I could ask
of them to do against a quality
opponent. I have no complaints
about our effort tonight.”

This marks the final postseason
game for Eastern seniors Ethan Steger, Andrew Stobart, Daschle Facemyer, Greyson Wolfe, and Christian
Speelman. The Eagles will have a
chance to end the season with a win
as they still have to host Federal

“You only go as far as your
seniors take you,” Hill said. “At
times this year our seniors pulled
through for the younger class, but
they didn’t really set the tone. The
seniors are going to be missed,
there are great athletes in that
senior group and they’ve had success in everything they’ve done. I
just wish as a coach I would have
been able to give them more success in basketball; I feel like I failed
them on that. They’re good kids,
they’re going to be successful in
life, but they just weren’t successful
in basketball.”

Afterwards, the respect for that
quartet was obvious as Harrison
spoke about his departing upperclassmen. He also noted that the
returnees will have some pretty
big shoes to fill.
“We dealt with a lot of adversity this season, but these seniors
stayed the course and kept leading this group by pushing them
to do better. They kept us together,” Harrison said. “I think those
four seniors and their leadership
was what helped us get better at
the end. They should take a pride
in getting that first postseason
win in six years and they should
be proud of all of their efforts
over the years in this program.
“They will be missed, but we
also have a lot of players set to
return. It will be up to the next
group to lead us like these young

the system does regardless of if
you’re pressing or not pressing.”
