COLUMBUS, Ohio — The political battleground state of Ohio did not violate the U.S.
Constitution when it imposed new ballot access
limits last year on minor political parties, a federal judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson’s ruling is the latest blow to challengers of a 2013 law
that set stiffer criteria for minor political parties
to qualify for Ohio’s ballot and maintain access
to it.
The law was intended to replace earlier ballot
access rules that were found unconstitutional in
2006. It established what qualifies as a political
party and what percentage of the vote must be
won to maintain that status.
The Libertarian Party of Ohio and their legal
allies from the Green and Constitution parties
argued the law imposed hurdles on third-party
candidates already actively seeking to get on the
ballot last year. They said it unfairly changed the
rules amid campaign activities, including signature collection.
In ruling, Watson rejected a request for a pretrial decision sought by the American Civil Liberties Union, which had argued the law violated the
First and 14th amendments. The judge decided
the group failed to demonstrate that limiting
access to primary ballots severely burdened
minor parties without advancing “compelling
state interests.”
“First, it is rational for the State of Ohio to
limit minor parties’ participation in primary elections because minor party primaries are typically
uncontested, voter turnout is low, and the additional costs of adding uncontested minor party
candidates to a primary ballot is unwarranted,”
the judge wrote.
He said the law’s petition requirements were also
rational because they helped demonstrate that a
minor party has “a significant modicum of support.”
Mark Brown, a lawyer for the Libertarians, said
the party’s principal challenge — under Ohio’s
state constitution — is still ongoing. It argues
that the law effectively eliminated all minor-party
candidates from Ohio’s 2014 primary ballots,
denying a right the state constitution guarantees.
He said although the group is disappointed in
Monday’s outcome, they remain optimistic.

no area code needed. Long-distance calls still must be dialed
with 1 followed by the area
code and telephone number.
In the past, PUCO has
also issued new area codes
with a technique called geographic split. This method
splits existing area codes
into regions of two or more
smaller regions. One region
retains the old area code and
the other is issued numbers
with the new area code.

MEIGS COUNTY — 4-H
is one of the largest youth
development programs in the
world, with 4-H members in
all 50 states and more than 80
countries around the world.
4-H allows youth to learn at
their own pace about subjects
that interest them, and with
more than 200 projects available to take in Ohio, there is
something for everyone. Meigs
County 4-H reached approximately 900 individual youth in
Meigs County in 2014 through
traditional 4-H Clubs, Camp,
School Enrichment and Special
Interest Programs.
4-H clubs are what most
people think about when they
think of 4-H, and more than
400 youth take part in Meigs
County.
One of the 2013 Meigs
County 4-H graduates had
this to say about her 4-H
experience: “Being in 4-H has
encouraged me and helped
me to become more socially
active and involved. It has
opened up a whole new world
of leadership and helped
me develop into the young
woman I am today… Whether
it was helping rid me of my
butterflies before my first
judging or helping me lean
towards doing the most I am
capable of in life, 4-H has
helped me develop into a
young adult preparing to follow my dreams.”
Meigs County has 30 clubs
that meet throughout the
county that will be finalizing
their enrollments by April 1.
Members of 4-H clubs attend
meetings where they learn
basic meeting structure,
make decisions about community service and interact
with trained, screened volunteers. They also complete
4-H Projects — and there
are more than 200 to choose
from on topics ranging from
archery to zoology, and just
about everything in between.
People who would like more
information about finding a
nearby club should have their
child ask one of their friends
— one of them is likely
involved. People can also
contact the Extension Office
for a list of clubs and if you
would like more information.

Spaces still available for fishing class
Staff Report

ATHENS — Any adult, group or
conservation club that has a sincere
interest in taking children fishing
should consider becoming a certified Passport to Fishing instructor,
according to the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources.
A Passport certification course is
being offered April 1 at the Deerassic Education Center in Cambridge, Ohio. Passport to Fishing is
a one-day instructor training program that qualifies individuals to
become ODNR Division of Wildlife
certified fishing instructors, similar
to a hunter education instructor.

This workshop will take place
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 14250
Cadiz Road, Cambridge. It is free
of charge, but pre-registration is
required by March 27. Participants
will be required undergo a background check.
Passport to Fishing was developed by the U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife
Service and adopted by the Recreational Boating and Fishing
Foundation. Workshops teach
volunteers the basics of fishing
and how to run a four-station fishing program with a fishing event.
These instructors then go back to
their communities, with a written

curriculum and training aids, to
teach kids and beginning anglers
the basics of fishing.
By becoming a certified instructor, you will not only be able to
help in reconnecting students with
the outdoors, but you will also have
the skills and resources to help
you do it in a more successful way.
Resources available include grants,
equipment, publications and brochures, and training.
For more information or to
register for a workshop, call Chelsea Herrick at 740-589-9942. For

OAK HILL — In recognition of National Nutrition Month during March, Holzer Nutrition Services will be hosting a cooking demonstration at
Oak Hill Public Library at 6 p.m. March 24.
The demonstration will feature healthy ways to
prepare common comfort foods. Samples will be
available for everyone in attendance.
Holzer cooking demonstrations are conducted
with dieticians on hand to discuss healthy alternatives, meal preparation, as well as answer any diet/
nutrition questions that arise.
“We enjoy offering these demonstrations to the
community to help educate and create awareness
of just how easy it is to cook nutritiously,” said
Tommy Fallon, dietary manager for Holzer Health

can make a world of difference in our diets, and
can still taste good. We invite everyone to come
out and have fun while learning some new tips for
their families.”
The demonstrations are open to the community

crashed March 10 in the Santa
Rosa Sound along Florida’s
Panhandle in a nighttime training
exercise in dense fog with seven
elite Marines aboard. All 11 in the
Black Hawk died.
“I couldn’t have put up a finer
crew,” said Col. Patrick Bossetta,
a commander over aviation units
for the Louisiana National Guard.
“Let me put it this way: I would
have put my son up with them.”
Maj. Gen. Glenn H. Curtis, the
National Guard’s adjutant general,
announced the soldiers’ identities during a news conference at
Jackson Barracks in New Orleans.
The soldiers’ remains are being
transported to Dover Air Force
Base in Delaware. Burials have
not yet been arranged. The names
of the Marines killed in the crash
were released Friday. The Marines
were stationed at Camp Lejeune,
North Carolina.
Three members of the flight
crew were from Louisiana and
one was from Virginia. They were
described as among the military’s
most seasoned helicopter pilots
and crew.
Piloting the helicopter were
Chief Warrant Officer George
Wayne Griffin Jr. of Delhi, 37,
and Chief Warrant Officer George
David Strother of Alexandria,
44. Both were decorated veteran
pilots. All four of the crew were
full-time personnel.
Curtis said it was unknown

George Wayne Griffin Jr.
With more than 6,000 flight hours, Chief
Warrant Officer George Wayne Griffin was a
respected and decorated veteran described by his
commanders as one of the finest helicopter pilots
they had. He was a full-time pilot attached to a
Black Hawk unit based in Hammond.
Previously he worked as an offshore oil industry
helicopter pilot, said Col. Patrick Bossetta, an
aviation commander. He once successfully landed
a helicopter experiencing engine problems in the
Gulf of Mexico, Bossetta said.
He had more than 1,000 flight hours during
combat, served in Iraq twice and was deployed
during Hurricane Katrina as well as other major
hurricanes to hit Louisiana. He also was involved
in response efforts to the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill in 2010.
“He had a tremendous passion for flying and a
God-given natural ability to fly both helicopters and
airplanes and to teach others,” said Chief Warrant
Officer Reggie Lane, who served with Griffin.
Griffin was 37 and is survived by his wife, four
children and his father. He was a native of Delhi
in central Louisiana. He was living in Hammond
at the time of his death.
George David Strother
Chief Warrant Officer George David Strother,
described by his officers as a “force of nature,”
was a seasoned combat pilot. He had over 700
combat hours under his belt. He served in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Kosovo. He also was deployed
during Hurricane Katrina and other major hurricanes to hit Louisiana.
Strother, 44, is survived by his wife, son,
step-daughter and mother. He was a native of
Pineville.
“To describe Dave Strother as a big personality would not be accurate,” said Maj. Andre
Jeansonne, an aviation commander with the
Louisiana National Guard. “He was more like a
force of nature that could be best observed and
marveled at, never opposed or altered.”
He was living Alexandria at the time of his
death.
Lance Bergeron
Staff Sgt. Lance Bergeron, 40, was a highly respected crew chief who was called one of the Guard’s
most qualified experts on Black Hawk helicopters.
He enlisted in 1998 with the U.S Marine Corps and
joined the Louisiana National Guard as a Black Hawk
repairer. He was also a valued instructor.
“He was a subject matter expert in his job who
exhibited an excitement of learning new skills,”
said Sgt. 1st Class Brian Marquez, a platoon sergeant with Bergeron’s unit.
He had 377 combat hours to his name and
served in Iraq twice. He also was deployed during
Hurricane Katrina and other major hurricanes to
hit Louisiana.
A native of Thibodaux in south Louisiana,
Bergeron was remembered as a loving father and
husband.
He is survived by his wife, two children and his
parents. He was living in Hammond at the time of
his death.

which pilot was in charge at the
time of the accident.
“I don’t know that we’ll ever
know that. And I don’t even know
if that’s really important. The accident happened; it is what it is,”
Curtis said.
The crash is being investigated by the U.S. Army Combat
Readiness Center, based in Fort
Rucker, Alabama. That investigation will “try to pinpoint
exactly what happened, if it was a
mechanical failure, or whatever it
was,” Curtis said.
Bossetta said the foggy nighttime conditions should not have
been a major factor. “What they
were doing out there wasn’t super
complex.”
Maj. Gen. Joseph L. Osterman,
commander of Marine Corps
special operations forces, has said
they were practicing rappelling

to abort the mission as too risky.

But setbacks in the past 10 years
include more exemptions, fees,
delays and sophisticated spin tactics
by government officials to thwart access. Meanwhile, amazing things have been happening all
around us in the world, and in many ways other
countries have outpaced the United States.
Since 2005, the world has seen 45 countries
adopt FOIA laws, for a total of 103 nations. The
most recent adoptee was Mozambique in December.
Nations with FOIA laws now include Russia,
China, Uganda, Tunisia, Afghanistan and Rwanda.
Many of their laws are much stronger than U.S.
FOIA.
For example, in China government officials
are required to waive fees for the indigent and
help the disabled and illiterate with requests. In
Liberia, the right to access public records is in its
constitution, not so in the United States. South
Korea applies its FOIA to all three branches of
government, not just the executive branch as it is
here. Armenia and Romania agencies are required
to respond to a FOIA request within five days, not
the 20 working days given to U.S. agencies.
Many other nations have put teeth in their laws.
Mexico provides an independent agency to adjudicate request disputes. In India, agencies that don’t
follow the law can be fined. Ethiopia provides a
public records ombudsman who can force agencies
to cough up records — the U.S. Office of Government Information Services ombudsman does not
have that enforcement power.
In many countries the law requires the education of the public in their right to know. The
state of Sinaloa in Mexico dictates FOI be taught
in the schools. Russia, Norway and other countries require agencies to post online lists of their
records and databases. A Colombian law enacted
in January requires agencies to provide public
records in different languages.
Indeed, world ratings of FOIA laws show that
the U.S. is falling behind. Access Info Europe
and the Centre for Law and Democracy rate the
strength of FOIA laws and place the U.S. at No.
44 in the world, behind such countries as Uganda,
Russia and Kyrgyzstan. Mexico’s law ranks seventh.
Granted, just because there is a law doesn’t
mean government officials will follow it. Many
countries have adopted FOIA laws simply to
encourage foreign investment and play ball internationally, with little regard for their citizens or
press. And there are disagreements over the ability to accurately rate the strength of FOIA laws.
Public records audits show that access can be
difficult in the trenches, regardless of what the law
says. On average, for example, police departments
in the United States will illegally deny access to
simple crime logs about three-quarters of the time.
I doubt it’s much better in Russia or China.
But laws do matter, and we can learn a lot from
other countries. We should look around the world,
identify the best practices internationally, and
craft stronger state and federal public record laws.
That global perspective is essential if we want to
better serve citizens and democracy in the United
States for the next 10 years, and beyond.

URG softball
splits
with Asbury
By Randy Payton

For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio
— Haley Gwin had a pair
of two-run doubles, while
teammate Tayler Arndt
added two hits and two
runs batted in to lead the
University of Rio Grande
past Asbury University, 9-2,
in game two of a Kentucky
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference softball doubleheader, Thursday afternoon, at
Rio Softball Park.
Asbury posted a 4-0 win
over the RedStorm in the
opening contest.
Rio Grande finished the
day at 2-2 overall and 1-1
in KIAC play, while the
twinbill marked the first
games of the season for the
Eagles.
Gwin, a senior from
Troy, Ohio, gave Rio a 3-0
with a two-run double in
the third inning and added
another two-run, two-bagger in a six-run sixth inning
to help the RedStorm pull
away after the Eagles had
sliced the early deficit to
just 3-2.
Arndt, a freshman from
Clyde, Ohio, plated Rio’s
final two runs of six-run
sixth inning with a two-out,
two-run single to right field.
Senior Jessi Robinson
(Wilmington, OH) also
had two hits and an RBI
in the win, while freshman
Heather Ward (Gallipolis,
OH) also drove in a run
and sophomore Cheyenne
Hamaker (Hilliard, OH)
scored three times.
Freshman Brooke
Reiboldt (College Corner,
IN) started and earned a
win in her first collegiate
decision, allowing four hits
and an unearned run over
five innings. She walked
one and struck out three
batters.
Summer Ratliff, who
threw a one-hit shutout in
Asbury’s opening game victory, took the loss for the
Eagles in the nightcap after
allowing five hits and four
runs - three earned - over

5-1/3 innings.
Katrina Miller had two
hits and a run batted in for
the Eagles, while Abbie
Bowling also had an RBI
and Kateland Hunter
added a double in a losing
cause.
Ratliff was masterful
for AU in the game one
win, allowing just one Rio
Grande hit - a leadoff single
in the second inning by
junior Kim Rollins (Cincinnati, OH), the RedStorm’s
lone baserunner of the
day. She also tallied seven
strikeouts.
The game was scoreless
until the Eagles pushed
across an unearned marker
against Rio sophomore
starter Jenna Jones (Lancaster, OH) in the sixth
inning as a result of a twoout throwing error.
Asbury got three more
runs in the seventh inning,
including two on a two-out
single by Hunter. Madi
Adair drove in AU’s first
run of the inning.
Jones (0-2) was the
hard-luck loser for the RedStorm, allowing three hits
and two runs - one earned
- in six-plus innings. She
walked four, including the
only two batters she faced
in the seventh, and finished
with six strikeouts.
The final two games of
the four-game series, which
were scheduled for Friday,
were called off in advance
due to the forecast of
inclement weather and will
be made up on Tuesday,
March 31, at 2 p.m. and 4
p.m. EDT in Rio Grande.
Rio Grande returns to
action on Monday, when it
opens a Spring Break trip
to suburban Orlando, Fla.
with a split doubleheader
against NCAA Division III
Calvin College at 11 a.m.
and a meeting with former
America Mideast Conference rival Mount Vernon
Nazarene at 5 p.m.

Peterson signs to Glenville State

Courtesy photo

Point Pleasant gridiron star Jon Peterson recently signed his letter of intent to join the Glenville State College Pioneers next season. “It
means a lot, I’ve been doing this since I was five or six years old,” Peterson said. “It’s something I’ve put a lot of time and effort into and
it’s paying off. I can go do something that I love and get an education while I’m doing it. Glenville State’s perfect, it’s out in the country,
I love the coaching staff, they have great facilities and they have the major I want to go into, which is environmental science.”Peterson
was named first team all-state defensive lineman for his efforts this past season after earning all-state special mention in his junior
campaign. Jon also all-state in wrestling for the 182lb weight class in both his junior and senior years, but Glenville State does not have
a wrestling program. Peterson, who currently holds a 3.2 grade point average at PPHS, has been a three-year starter on the football
team and has helped the Big Blacks to a 29-5 record in those three seasons. “Jon comes from a background of football and once he
got in the weight room he really blossomed,” Big Blacks head coach Dave Darst said. “He has that innate ability to play football and
Glenville is getting an outstanding football player. He’s going to be hard to replace, we know that, and we’re expecting big things out
of him.” The Pioneers are a member of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and a NCAA Division II school. Glenville
State’s football team went 5-6 last season. Pictured above, sitting in the front, are Jon Peterson with his parents Kathy Peterson and
Carl Peterson. Standing in the back, from left, are Dave Darst, Matt Cottrill, Terry Rollins, Dave Withrow, Chris O’Dell, Tracy McCormick
and William Cottrill.

tions are in decline, and have
been for the past 20 years, and
people are noticing. The cause
of the decline is also known:
illegal clear-cutting of habitat
in Mexico where the butterflies
spend the winter; recent bouts
of severe weather (particularly
droughts in Texas); and decline
of habitat in the United States,
more specifically herbicide
destruction of milkweed plants
in the United States.
The question is what, if anything, will be done to address
it. On that subject there is
no consensus, and plenty of
finger-pointing to go around.
Paradoxically government
agencies are in a sense competing against themselves.
Ironically it is an environmental policy of one agency
promoting the use of ethanol
that indirectly encourages putting land into production that
was formerly set aside for conservation (allowing the milkweed needed by Monarchs and
many other species to flourish), and most of all gives us
polluted lakes and rivers, and
bad gasoline that ruins small

that is another subject).

LAS VEGAS (AP) —
That Kentucky is good
— make that very good
— isn’t debatable among
this city’s bookmakers,
who make the Wildcats
nearly even money to
cap an unbeaten season
by winning the NCAA
Tournament.
Kentucky will be

in any matchup heading into the Final Four,
beginning with what is
expected to be a laugher
in Thursday’s opening
round against the winner of the ManhattanHampton game. Even
if the Wildcats end up
in a Final Four with
three other No. 1
seeds, they would still
be favored by at least
5.5 points against any
opponent.
Really good, yes.
Dominant, too, in a
year where the rest of
the tournament field
is considered to be
down, if just a bit.
Still, the people
who set the odds on

don’t see the Wildcats
as the best ever. Not

table and finish the
season undefeated.

also providing valuable wildlife
habitat.
Individual states are also
taking action by encouraging
landowners to hold off on field
mowing and mowing fringe
areas, including roadsides, until
after the Monarch butterflies
are finished breeding.
As a landowner what can you
do? At home you can create
monarch habitat by planting a
butterfly garden, or by limiting
mowing (especially areas with
milkweed) during the late summer months when Monarchs
are preparing to migrate. I
advocate mowing “in thirds” or
leaving some areas un-mowed
each year to provide habitat for
birds and other critters.
As a society another question
we have to ask ourselves is,
do we consider the Monarchs
valuable in their own right, as
canaries in the coal mine, or
are they nothing but victims in
the march of progress?
I guess time will tell if Monarchs survive or if they too go
the way of the Passenger Pigeon.

Another agency pays subsidies to producers for growing
corn for ethanol, while at the
same time paying producers to
set aside land for conservation
(but not as much as they get
for producing).
Other agencies are directly
interested in preserving the
Monarch butterflies.
Local Soil and Water Conservation Districts across the
country may actually be caught
in the middle. SWCD are big
proponents of no-till agriculture, which reduces soil erosion
and protects water resources,
but the herbicides used in notill farming are deadly to practically any plant that not is not
“Round-Up Ready.”
Perhaps the key word we
need to remember is “conservation,” which advocates a wise
use of natural resources. While
SWCDs encourage the use of
no-till agriculture to protect
topsoil and reduce erosion,
they also advocate voluntary
conservation practices such as
filter strips and buffers, native
prairie plantings, and other
management practices which
help keep topsoil, pesticides,
fertilizer and nutrients, and
herbicides out of streams while

“Kentucky is not a historically great team,” Bell

Ohio State doubters, really? Champs think they exist
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio State
linebacker Joshua Perry
says the doubters are out
there, questioning and
putting down the Buckeyes.
He doesn’t name
names, but Perry says
he’s keeping tabs on
them.
Many teams create a
boogeyman to fabricate
an us-against-them mentality. Count the national
champs in that group.
Even in the wake of the
42-20 rout of Oregon in
January’s College Football Playoff title game,
Perry and his teammates

believe that there are still
a lot of observers who
think last year’s 14-1
championship run was a
fluke.
“We have a target on
our back and people
are going to doubt us,”
Perry said shortly after
Ohio State’s first spring
practice on Tuesday. “So
we still have something
to prove every day that
we go out there. And it’s
also a bit of a pride thing,
being here and knowing
what we’ve done and then
knowing the guys that we
have, that we could be
special this year.”
So even though the

Buckeyes will likely enter
the 2015 season as No. 1,
even though they return
all but eight starters and
have a stable full of quality players up and down
the roster, they remain
worried that people just
don’t give them their due.
They plan on using
that as motivation for
the months of workouts
ahead.
“I could see why there
are reasons that people
could doubt us — not
that I believe in those,”
said offensive tackle
Taylor Decker. “But we
did lose players that were
vital to that team last

year. It’s kind of scary, a
team coming off a big season like we did, to have
a letdown. Because you
don’t want guys to think
they’ve arrived, or to (feel
like they’re) entitled to
winning games.”
The team doesn’t want
to be overconfident, even
as it rides the crest of a
13-game winning streak,
has an improving defense
and yardage-eating tailback in Ezekiel Elliott. A
lot of teams are looking
for an elite quarterback
— Ohio State has not
one, not two, but three.
Of course, two of the
three — two-time Big

to slide out of the covers
at 7 a.m. and collide with
teammates for a couple

haters to get pumped up

of conditioning. It’s only
