Phill Brandon Unroe, 28, Brian K. Williams, Jr., 18, Amanda Little, 36, and Sandra Wolford, 55, all appeared this past week before Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans for arraignment hearings related to their alleged involvement in trafficking in drugs in the village of Rio Grande at the apartment complex located just south of the University of Rio Grande on Ohio 325. Unroe and Little both pleaded not guilty this past week to two counts of trafficking in heroin, two counts of the possession of heroin and one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, while Williams pleaded not guilty to trafficking in heroin, and Wolford pleaded not guilty to trafficking in and possessing Oxycodone. The charges against the four defendants were filed following an investigation and resulting search warrant during the early morning hours on Jan. 26 at an apartment located within the complex at 800 Ohio 325 South. According to the police report, the search warrant was executed by officers with the Rio Grande Police Department with the assistance of a deputy with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, who allegedly located Little and Unroe in the apartment along with $724 in cash and a bag of heroin. Other suspected drug paraphernalia was also reportedly located inside the residence. As a result of the investigation, Unroe and Little were charged with preparing 4.21 grams of heroin for sale within the vicinity of a juvenile, possessing the drug and with engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. The $724 seized by law enforcement may also be forfeited to the police department as proceeds of trafficking in drugs. Little also allegedly sold or offered to sell 0.1 grams of heroin on Jan. 25, and was allegedly in the possession of the drug on that day, while Unroe is also facing additional trafficking and possession charges after he allegedly sold or offered to sell 0.1 grams of heroin on Dec. 21, 2013. Williams’ and Wolford’s charges also stem from previous incidents in January at the apartment. Williams allegedly sold or offered to sell 0.1 gram of heroin, while Wolford allegedly sold three Oxycodone pills and was in the possession of the drug on Jan. 23. These charges were reportedly the result of the police department’s investigation leading up to the search warrant on Jan. 26. Late last week, Rio Grande Police Chief Daniel Day commended the work of his officers in this investigation. “Just because we are in a rural area, we are not immune to the growing drug problem,” he said. “These indictments come as a result of many hours of hard work from officers with the Rio Grande Police Department and would not have been possible without the time and dedication given by these officers.” Following their respective hearings this past week, each of the four defendants were subsequently released on own-recognizance bonds. Unroe is facing additional unrelated charges of trafficking in drugs and drug possession stemming from incidents in November and January. He appeared for an arraignment hearing in this case in March. Meigs awarded forfeited drug money By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitas media.com POMEROY — Meigs County has received $193,367 in forfeited drug money seized in a task force raid in Zuspan Hollow last August and recently settled in a court action. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said the amount has been divided between his agency and the Middleport Police Department, with each receiving $96,683. He said the sheriff’s department will be using part of the money to purchase needed equipment for use in drug raids, including some bullet-proof vests, but hasn’t yet made decisions about what the rest of it will be spent on. As for the Middleport Police Department, Police Chief Bruce Swift said the money was placed into a special fund set aside to better equip officers and update some vehicles. He noted that the only restriction on use of the money is that it cannot go toward salaries. Police officers decided that the greatest portion should go toward purchasing two new cruisers. Middleport Village Council, at a recent meeting, had already approved the purchase of one new cruiser. Delivery of all three will be in the fall, Swift said, adding that those two purchased with drug forfeiture money and the one the village ordered makes up the major portion of the fleet. Mayor Michael Gerlach pointed out that getting the new cruisers gives the village much lower maintenance costs, warranties, more reliable vehicles, and incentive to keep after the drug dealers. He said it will be noted on the rear of each new cruiser purchased that it was purchased with seized drug money. With the remainder of the money, Swift said some needed defensive equipment, such as tazers, shotguns and rifles for defensive action in major incidents, will be purchased. Prison sentenced handed down to Point man for B&E By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com Roy Johnson and Christi Hendrix Southern receives Auditor of State award By Sarah Hawley TDSnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — The Southern Local School District, where Roy Johnson is treasurer, is the recipient of an Auditor of State Award in recognition of a clean audit report for fiscal year 2013. The Auditor of State Award is presented to local governments and school districts upon the completion of a financial audit. Entities that receive the award must meet the criteria of a “clean” audit report on the finances of their respective districts. Entities that receive the award meet the following criteria of a “clean” audit report: The entity must file timely financial reports with the Auditor of State’s office in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles); The audit report does not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, single audit findings or questioned costs. The entity’s management letter contains no comments related to: Ethics referrals; questioned costs less than $10,000; lack of timely report submission; reconciliation; failure to obtain a timely single audit; findings for recovery less than $100; public meetings or public records. Johnson said it takes much more than just him to make the award possible. “It is a team award,” he said, noting the efforts of those in federal programs, EMIS, Assistant Treasurer Christi Hendrix, and all parts of the school administration. Johnson added that he believes this is the first time the district has received the award. “The first year I came in, five people had set in this seat the year before,” he said. “We got things settled down.” Johnson also noted the use of technology and automation to help not only the treasurer’s office, but the employees of the district. He hopes this is the first of many more to come as the district is developing patterns and getting all parts on board. “This shows transparency to the community and responsibility with the taxpayer’s money,” added Johnson. The audit does not only look at financial reports, but also data collection, attendance and student activity funds. One of the only things not looked at in the audit is the booster clubs as they are separate entities. In addition to Southern Local, award recipients announced this week were: Arcadia Local School District (Hancock County) for both 2012 and 2013; Bucyrus City School District (Crawford County); Heir Force Community School (Allen County); Lakewood City Academy (Cuyahoga County); London Metropolitan Housing Suthority (Madison County); Stambaugh Charter Academy (Mahoning County); Vinton Metropolitan Housing Authority (Vinton County); and Waverly City School District (Pike County). Eastern Local School District and Meigs Local School District each received the award earlier this year. The Auditor of State’s office, one of five independently elected statewide offices in Ohio, is responsible for auditing more than 5,800 state and local government agencies. Under the direction of Yost, the office also provides financial services to local governments, investigates and prevents fraud in public agencies, and promotes transparency in government. GALLIPOLIS — A prison sentence was recently handed down in the Gallia County Common Pleas Court to a Point Pleasant man charged with breaking and entering. Michael R. Richmond, 26, was sentenced this past week to eight months of imprisonment in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction after he pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony charge of breaking and entering. According to the indictment, Richmond broke into a garage on Lariat Drive in the Spring Valley area near Gallipolis on Sept. 23, 2013, with the intent to commit a theft offense. An indictment was filed Oct. 11, 2013, and the defendant subsequently pleaded not guilty to the charge. Richmond was later released on bond, and subsequently failed to appear for a status hearing in December. After the defendant was arrested on a warrant in February for failing to appear, a new jury trial date was set for April 7. Prior to the trial date, a proposed guilty plea was filed late last month and, during a hearing on April 7, the defendant pleaded guilty to breaking and entering. During last week’s sentencing hearing, in addition to his prison sentence, Richmond was ordered to have no contact with the person or property of the victim in this case. He was given credit for a total of 96 days of jail time served, along with future custody days awaiting transportation. The defendant was further ordered to pay the costs of prosecution. Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Adkins represented the state of Ohio and, following the sentencing hearing, said that in addition to his eight-month prison term, Richmond has already paid restitution to the victim in this case. “We are very pleased that the defendant was sentenced to approximately 70 percent of the maximum available prison term for this offense. We were only willing to consider making a recommendation for less than the maximum prison term because the defendant paid restitution prior to sentencing,” Adkins said. “This case was solved thanks to the hard work of a Gallia County Sheriff’s deputy, working in conjunction with the victim, and the cooperation of neighbors and L&L Scrap Metal.” �&@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Page A2 LîSunday Times Sentinel Sunday, April 20, 2014 �2==:2î�@F?EJî�@>>F?:EJî�2=6?52C Card shower Betty Rutt will celebrate her 81st birthday April 23.

Obama: Eight million signed up for health care WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight million people have signed up for health care through new insurance exchanges and the proportion of younger applicants has increased, President Barack Obama said Thursday. The enrollments exceeded expectations and offered new hope to Democrats who are defending the law ahead of the midterm elections. An impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room offered the president an opportunity to trumpet the new figures, which beat initial projections by 1 million. With an eye toward November, Obama castigated Republicans for continuing to seek out every opportunity to thwart the Affordable Care Act. “This thing is working,” Obama said of his signature domestic achievement. Touting modest progress on another front, Obama said 35 percent of enrollees are under 35 years old, suggesting that in the final weeks of enrollment, the administration managed to sign up higher numbers of younger, healthier people who are critical to the law’s viability. The most coveted age group comprises those between 18 and 34 years old. White House officials said that for the 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead, 28 percent are in that age group — a step in the right direction from March, when the administration said just 25 percent were 18 to 34. In a sharp rebuke to his political opponents, Obama called out states that have refused to embrace an expansion of Medicaid under “Obamacare,” arguing that their opposition was rooted in nothing more than sheer ideology and political spite. “That’s wrong. It should stop,” he said. “Those folks should be able to get health insurance like everybody else.” Although the first year’s open enrollment season 60498117 Have story suggestions?

And the same can be said for underperforming students. Why? Because there will always be bad, misinformed or clueless parents. Not just the ones who abuse their children, keep loaded guns around the house, ignore their offspring or barely manage to dole out a few bucks before school so the kid can grab a “breakfast” of sugary soft drinks and dollar bags of cheese-flavored snacks on the way to school. There are those who simply set terrible examples for their children. They keep the TV on all day and all night, they never read a book and they enforce no sense of order in their homes. I imagine it was slackers like these who Rosalind Osgood, a school board member in Broward County, Fla., had in mind when she made the controversial sugges- tion to set a parental dress code for schools. She was quoted in the Florida Sun-Sentinel implying that the district’s teachers and administrators were having a difficult time enforcing the fundamentally orderpromoting dress codes because parents so often look like slobs when they visit schools. “We have dads showing up in sagging pants,” Osgood said during a recent school board discussion. “It’s hard for me to tell a child not to show up for school with hair curlers, pajamas or short-shorts if they see parents wearing them. Parents need to lead by example.” Never mind that the shortshorts and sagging pants make for amply distracted students in the classroom. Showing up to school in pajamas or hair curlers pretty much says, “I don’t care about my education.” This is a lesson clearly learned from the adult in the child’s life, who has shown up that way to talk to the school’s administrators who knows how many times. To be fair, it is harder than ever to be a parent today. Like consumers of health news who are told, depending on the week, that coffee will kill you or help you live longer, many parents feel bombarded by contradictory information about the needs of their kids. Whether nutrition, vaccinations or the value of preschool, the conflicting noise on these topics is mind-boggling. Worse, some parents miss the important stuff — like the value of talking to your baby, which has shown to be beneficial for their development. For some time now, the gold standard of parental responsibility has been involvement. Depending on a student’s grade level, his or her educational needs or the school administration’s expectations, involvement can mean anything from checking homework to drilling subject matter to volunteering for chaperoning, fundraising, mentoring or coaching. In certain circles in almost any school, there are badges of honor associated with being the busiest, most devoted, most involved parent. But though such parents undoubtedly contribute to the school’s overall well-being, what does this mean for actual students? The newest research says: not much. According to Keith Robinson, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Texas, and Angel L. Harris, a professor of sociology and African and AfricanAmerican studies at Duke, who wrote an op-ed article for The New York Times: “After comparing the average achievement of children whose parents regularly engage in each form of parental involvement [such as observing a child’s class, contacting a school about a child’s behavior, helping to decide a child’s high school courses, or helping a child with homework] to that of their counterparts whose parents do not, we found that most forms of parental involvement yielded no benefit to children’s test scores or grades, regardless of racial or ethnic background or socioeconomic standing.” Other research — author Amanda Ripley investigates the topic thoroughly in her marvelous book “The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way” — has similarly suggested that all the book fairs, bake sales and PTA activities that parents dive into sometimes have only the effect of sucking up precious time that parents could spend focusing on helping kids with academics. It’s all enough to make you tear your hair out. What’s a parent to do? Just vow to do your best. And if you find the time and strength to drag yourself to the school for any attempt to help boost your kid’s academic performance, just remember: School administrators like it when you show up nice, neat and ready to listen. Zealots win again, ruining political system Government’s reach becoming By Charles Krauthammer The debate over campaign contributions is never-ending for a simple reason: Both sides of the argument have merit. On the one hand, of course money is speech. For most citizens, contributing to politicians or causes is the most effective way to augment and amplify speech with which they agree. The most disdainful dismissers of this argument are editorialists and incumbent politicians who — surprise! — already enjoy access to vast audiences and don’t particularly like their monopoly being invaded by the unwashed masses or the selfmade plutocrat. On the other hand, of course money is corrupting. The nation’s jails are well stocked with mayors, legislators, judges and the occasional governor who have exchanged favors for cash. However, there are lesser — and legal — forms of influence-peddling short of the outright quid pro quo. Campaign contributions are carefully calibrated to approach that line without crossing it. But money distorts. There is no denying the unfairness of big contributors buying access unavailable to the everyday citizen. Hence the endless law-writing to restrict political contributions, invariably followed by multiple fixes to correct the inevitable loopholes. The result is a baffling mass of legislation administered by one cadre of experts and dodged by another. For a long time, a simple finesse offered a rather elegant solution: no limits on giving — but with full disclosure. Open the floodgates, and let the monies, big and small, check and balance each other. And let transparency be the safeguard against cor- ruption. As long as you know who is giving what to whom, you can look for, find and, if necessary, prosecute corrupt connections between donor and receiver. This used to be my position. No longer. I had not foreseen how donor lists would be used not to ferret out corruption but to pursue and persecute citizens with contrary views — which corrupts the very idea of full disclosure. It is now an invitation to the creation of enemies lists. Containing, for example, Brendan Eich, forced to resign as Mozilla CEO when it was disclosed that six years earlier he’d given $1,000 to support a referendum banning gay marriage. He was hardly the first. Activists compiled blacklists of donors to Proposition 8 and went after them. Indeed, shortly after the referendum passed, both the artistic director of the California Musical Theatre in Sacramento and the president of the Los Angeles Film Festival were hounded out of office. Referendums produce the purest example of transparency misused because corrupt favoritism is not an issue. There’s no one to corrupt. Supporting a referendum is a pure expression of one’s beliefs. Full disclosure in that context becomes a cudgel, an invitation to harassment. Sometimes the state itself does the harassing. The IRS scandal left many members of political groups exposed to abuse, such as the unlawful release of confidential data. In another case, the Obama campaign website in 2012 published the names of eight big Romney donors, alleging them to have “less than reputable records.” A glow-in-the-dark target having been painted on his back, Idaho businessman Frank VanderSloot (reported The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

In his lone dissent to the disclosure requirement in Citizens United, Justice Clarence Thomas argued that American citizens should not be subject to “to death threats, ruined careers, damaged or defaced property, or pre-emptive and threatening warning letters as the price for engaging in core political speech, the primary object of First Amendment protection.” In fact, wariness of full disclosure goes back to 1958 when the Supreme Court ruled that the NAACP did not have to release its membership list to the state, understanding that such disclosure would surely subject its members to persecution. “This court has recognized the vital relationship between freedom to associate and privacy in one’s associations … particularly where a group espouses dissident beliefs.” A different era, a different set of dissidents. But the naming of names, the listing of lists, goes on. The enforcers are at it again, this time armed with sortable Internet donor lists. The ultimate victim here is full disclosure itself. If revealing your views opens you to the politics of personal destruction, then transparency, however valuable, must give way to the ultimate core political good, free expression. Our collective loss. Coupling unlimited donations and full disclosure was a reasonable way to reconcile the irreconcilables of campaign finance. Like so much else in our politics, however, it has been ruined by zealots.

On Tuesday, the court will hear arguments about this: Should a government agency, whose members are chosen by elected officials, be empowered to fine or imprison any candidate or other participant in the political process who during a campaign makes what the agency considers “false statements” about a member of the political class or a ballot initiative? An Ohio statute, which resembles laws in at least 15 other states, says, among many other stern things, that: “No person, during the course of any campaign … shall … make a false statement concerning the voting record of a candidate or public official.” Former Rep. Steve Driehaus, a Cincinnati Democrat who considers himself pro-life, says he lost his 2010 re-election bid because the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List violated Ohio’s law with ads saying that when he voted for the Affordable Care Act, he voted for taxpayer funding of abortion. When he learned that the SBA List planned to erect billboards proclaiming “Shame on Steve Driehaus! Driehaus voted FOR taxpayer-funded abortion,” he filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission, the truth arbiter and speech regulator. So the billboard company refused the SBA List’s business. The SBA List did air its message on radio. One can credit Driehaus’ pro-life sincerity, given that the ACA’s passage was greased by many more deceptions and dissimulations than the president’s gross falsehood that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” Driehaus says the ACA does not specifically appropriate money for abortions. The SBA List counters that the ACA can subsidize abortioninclusive insurance coverage. Driehaus says insurance companies must collect a “separate payment” from enrollees and segregate this money from federal funds. The SBA List says money is fungible, so this accounting sleight-of-hand changes nothing. Driehaus says an executive order issued after passage of the ACA, which was promised to get him and a few other pro-life Democrats to vote for the act, prohibits ACA funds from being used for abortions. The SBA List says the executive order proved that the ACA itself allowed taxpayer-funded abortions. The president of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, seemed to agree, complacently dismissing the executive order as a “symbolic gesture.” Ohio’s law, which obviously is designed to encourage selfcensorship, certainly chilled the SBA List’s political speech. Yet a lower court upheld the infliction of the intentionally speech-suppressive law on the SBA List because those challenging it supposedly must prove something impossible — that if they persisted in their speech they would be certainly and imminently and successfully prosecuted. Under this standard, politically motivated people can, at little cost to themselves, make accusations that entangle adversaries in expensive speech-halting proceedings during a campaign. The SBA List’s brief to the Supreme Court notes that “a law requiring citizens to pay $1 before they could publicly comment on electoral issues or candidates for office would be immediately justiciable (and promptly invalidated).” Yet Ohio’s law makes it easy for literally millions of Ohioans to subject participants in the political process to much more expensive costs — not to mention the threat of incarceration. The Ohio Election Commission has pondered the truth or falsity of saying that a school board “turned control of the district over to the union,” and that a city councilor had “a habit of telling voters one thing, then doing another.” Fortunately, the Supreme Court, citing George Orwell’s “1984,” has held that even false statements receive First Amendment protection: “Our constitutional tradition stands against the idea that we need Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.” This case, which comes from Cincinnati, where the regional IRS office was especially active in suppressing the political speech of conservative groups, involves the intersection of two ominous developments. One is the inevitable, and inevitably abrasive, government intrusions into sensitive moral issues that come with government’s comprehensive and minute regulation of health care with taxes, mandates and other coercions. The Supreme Court will soon rule on one such, the ACA requirement that employer-provided health care plans must cover the cost of abortifacients. The other development is government’s growing attempts to regulate political speech, as illustrated by the Obama administration’s unapologetic politicization of the IRS to target conservative groups. These developments are not coincidental. Government’s increasing reach and pretensions necessarily become increasingly indiscriminate. �Sunday, April 20, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D %3:EF2C:6D �62E9î$@E:46D ROBERT E.

ROBERT CRAWFORD Bob Crawford, despite all of his super-human efforts, died Thursday, April 17, 2014 at the age of 59, surrounded by his loving family at his home. More than six years ago, he began his battle with lung cancer and leukemia, and refused to go down without a fight. He fought the disease until his dying breath, doing so with courage and bravery, never complaining about the heinousness of the treatment or the cancer that was ravaging his once strong body. Bob was best known for his quick, and sometimes inappropriate, sense of humor, always laughing and inspiring those around him to do the same. His charisma and gift for all things funny always had those around him in laughter, and this was a trait that cancer could not steal from him as he kept his joking ways and sparkle in his eyes until his dying day. Bob spent his career at the Medina County Sheriff’s Department, utilizing his talents and gifts to keep his community safe. Bob was very proud of his time of service, and was well known in his department and surrounding agencies for his natural knack for this work. Twenty years after his retirement, his stellar police work is still used as an example while training up-and-coming officers. Bob had a love for the outdoors and spent his free time hunting, fishing and traveling. His under- standing of wildlife and their habits was vast, and he spent the last years of his life passing down his knowledge to his children and grandchildren. Bob was preceded in death by his first wife, Cynthia Clement Crawford, who also lost her battle to cancer at the age of 31. Bob leaves behind a devoted spouse of 28 years, Tania Crawford, who cared for him during his illness with nagging and love. He is also survived by his parents, Richard and Barbara Crawford, of Nova. He will be deeply missed by his two daughters, Shannon (Bill) Good and Jaime (Tom) Hegarty, along with five grandchildren. Per his wishes, Bob was cremated and will have his ashes spread in the ocean and Lake Erie at a later date. A celebration of his life was held, with Bob in attendance, on March 16, 2014, in Wadsworth, Ohio, where he said farewell to family and friends while enjoying their company as they reminisced about days gone by. In lieu of flowers, Bob has requested that donations be made in his name to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, 2545 Farmers Drive, Suite 300, Columbus, OH 43235; or by calling 1-866-8801382. He was dearly loved, will be greatly missed and never forgotten. A registry is available at www.andersonmcdaniel. com. REEDSVILLE, Ohio — Robert E.

Ohio teacher fired over comment on black president CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio teacher has been fired after a black student who said he wanted to become president claimed the teacher told him the nation didn’t need another black commander in chief. The Fairfield Board of Education voted 4-0 on Thursday night to fire science teacher Gil Voigt from Fairfield Freshman School, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. “The district felt that the evidence was sufficient to support the termination of Mr. Voigt’s employment,” Superintendent Paul Otten said in statement. Voigt did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday but has said the student misquoted him. Voigt, who is white, told school officials that what he actually told the teen was that he doesn’t think the nation can afford another president like Barack Obama, “whether he’s black or white.” A state referee investigating Voigt found that explanation was not credible. The referee also found Voigt had made other offensive comments in class over the years, including an accusation that in 2008, he trained his laser pointer at a black student and said he looked like “an African-American Rudolph.” Voigt told school officials that he was only repeating what another student had said but later acknowledged his conduct had been inappropriate. In 2012, Voigt was accused of calling a student stupid and implying that he and some of his classmates were gay. In that incident, Voigt denied making any insulting comments to students and told school officials that a group of students in his class were colluding against him. The state referee found Voigt’s explanation for those two incidents to also be not credible. “Voigt repeatedly engaged in conduct that is harmful to the well-being of his students,” the state referee wrote in an April 11 report given to the board of education. “He has made race-based, culturally based and insulting comments to students over a period of years. He was warned on multiple occasions that if his behavior continued that he would be subject to termination. Unfortunately, for both Voigt and his students, he did not alter his conduct.” Gallia County Department of Job & Family Services is searching for low income youth ages 16-24 and Employers for the 2014 TANF Summer Youth Employment Program.

AP Photos "F5=@Hî>2DD24C6îDAFCC65î$6Hî�62=î=23@CîC67@C>D DENVER (AP) — A century ago this Sunday, 11 children and two women died in a fire that followed a shootout between the Colorado National Guard and striking coal miners at a tent camp in southern Colorado. What became known as the Ludlow Massacre quickly evolved into a national rallying cry for labor unions and eventually helped lead to New Deal labor reforms. But over the years, the tragedy has been largely forgotten, even among many in Colorado. To mark the centennial, a Greek Orthodox Easter service will be held Sunday on the prairie where the women and children died on April 20, 1914. They had hidden in a dugout beneath the tent colony when the fire roared through the camp. The miners came from many countries; mining rules were posted in 27 languages. But most had joined fellow Greek strikers in celebrating Orthodox Easter the day before. The United Mine Workers of America plans a May memorial at the site about three hours south of Denver with descendants of labor activist Mother Jones, who was jailed twice for refusing to stay away from the strike zone. The deaths at Ludlow came during a strike launched in September 1913 by miners whose living conditions were largely controlled by Colorado Fuel & Iron, owned by John D. Rockefeller Jr. They lived in company towns, sometimes surrounded by barbed wire. They had to shop in com- pany stores and be treated by company doctors. They wanted the right to form a union, have 8-hour days and be paid for work to make mines safer and not just for the coal they extracted. Strikers also wanted enforcement of Colorado’s mining laws. Colorado had one of the worst mining death rates in the country but only two mine inspectors. About 3,000 workers were killed between 1880 and 1910 mining the coal that fed railroads and heated people’s homes. In the absence of strong local government, mine owners largely controlled local affairs, said state historian Bill Convery. No one knows who fired the first shot at Ludlow, where eight people— five strikers and one of their sons, a soldier and a bystander — were killed in addition to the 13 who died in the fire. The battle ignited 10 days of fighting in southern Colorado. Miners, including veterans of European wars, killed 30 mine guards, supervisors and strikebreakers. They surrendered after President Woodrow Wilson sent federal troops to the state. Ludlow followed the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire in New York City in which 146 people, mostly young female immigrants, died. Together the events galvanized the public’s attention about dangerous working conditions, said Maria E. Montoya, an associate professor of history at New York University. In Colorado, strikers This Feb. 28, 2008 file photo shows visitors at the monument to those killed in the Ludlow Massacre at the site near Ludlow, Colo. Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of the Ludlow Massacre, where two women and 11 children were killed in a fire during a battle between striking coal miners and Colorado National Guard. returned to work without achieving their demands. Rockefeller introduced a company union and grievance procedure. Miners only won the right to unionize on their own with the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. A hundred years on, U.S. coal mining is still dangerous work. Twenty-nine miners were killed in the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in West Virginia in 2010. The Mine Safety and Health Administration reported 20 coal mining deaths both in 2013 and in 2012. What was called the “labor question” seemed as intractable then as Middle East conflict today, said Nelson Lichtenstein, a history professor and director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Ludlow’s U.S. legacy has diminished over the years as unions have weakened, Lichtenstein said. Only about a tenth of U.S. workers are now represented by organized labor. Lichtenstein and Convery say they see parallels between southern Colorado’s labor war of a century ago and the plight of people working in garment factories in the developing world today. “We have outsourced our inequity,” Convery said. Fawn-Amber Montoya, an associate professor at Colorado State UniversityPueblo who has helped organize the centennial events, said Ludlow still has a lesson to teach about dialogue and how to treat low-wage workers, including immigrants. “We do have these moments where we engage in conflict because there isn’t dialogue going on,” Montoya said.

Pleasant Valley Hospital Primary Care 2520 Valley Drive Suite 214 Point Pleasant, WV 304.675.6090 COLUMBUS, Ohio — A record number of Ohioans died from heroin-related overdoses in 2012, the state Department of Health said as it released the newest available figures for a problem that’s been called an epidemic and a public health crisis. The state says 680 people died of heroin overdoses in 2012, up from 426 deaths in 2011, a 37 percent increase, according to data being released Friday. The heroin increase also drove the overall number of fatal drug overdoses to a record of 1,272 deaths in 2012, up from 1,154 the previous year. The state said the number of fatal prescription painkiller overdoses decreased for the first time since 2003, a drop attributed to a statewide crackdown on pill mills and the overprescribing of pain pills. Heroin addiction has been increasing as prescription painkiller abusers turn to the cheaper and more readily available drug. “What we’re seeing is a significant number of people moving to a more acute phase of their addiction disorder,” said Orman Hall, director of the governor’s cabinet opiate action team. A decade of unrestricted prescribing of painkillers led to an addicted population, which in turn led to the heroin problem, said Christy Beeghley, program administrator for the Health Department’s Injury Prevention Program. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner released more recent statistics earlier in the year, announcing 195 heroin-related fatalities in 2013, up from 161 the year before. In 2007, 40 people in the Cleveland-area died of heroin-related overdoses. Fatal drug overdoses remain the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio, above car crashes, a trend that began in 2007. Ohio is not alone in high numbers of heroin deaths. In Massachusetts, Gov. Deval Patrick last month declared a public health emergency in response to heroin overdoses and opioid addiction. Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin dedicated his entire State of the State address this year to the problem. Minnesota authorities have seen a tenfold increase in the number of people seeking treatment for heroin addiction. Attorney General Mike DeWine has called the heroin deaths an “epidemic” and created a statewide investigative unit to crack down on heroin dealers. U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach in Cleveland has labeled the problem a “public health crisis.” �Sunday Times-Sentinel SPORTS SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2014 mdsports@civitasmedia.com B1 Marauders fall to Alexander, 10-3 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ALBANY, Ohio — After starting the year 4-0, the Meigs baseball team has now dropped three of its last five decisions following a 10-3 setback to host Alexander Thursday night during a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup in Athens County. The visiting Marauders (6-3, 2-2 TVC Ohio) never led in the contest and were outhit by a sizable 14-4 overall margin, as the Spartans (7-1, 3-0) claimed a 5-0 lead through three innings and never looked back. MHS plated two runs in the top of the fourth to close to within three runs, but the hosts answered with a run in their half of the fourth to pull ahead for a 6-2 edge. Meigs added its final run of the game in the fifth to cut the deficit down to half, but AHS retaliated by scoring twice in the fifth and sixth frames to wrap up the seven-run triumph. Both teams committed two errors in the contest and Meigs left six runners stranded on base, compared to nine by the Spartans. Tyler Vickers went the distance for the win, allowing just three walks over seven frames while striking out three. Cameron Mattox suffered the loss for MHS after surrendering five runs, five hits and zero walks over three innings while striking out two. Taylor Rowe led Meigs with two hits, followed by Bradley Helton and Luke Musser with a safety apiece. Ty Phelps, Cody Bartrum and Chase Whitlatch each drove in an RBI, while Rowe, Damon Jones and Michael Davis each scored in the setback. Brody McGrath and Chace Harris paced AHS with three hits apiece, followed by Blake Lindner and Kyle Howard with two safeties each. McGrath and Harris each drove in two RBIs, while Harris, Howard and Lindner each scored two runs.

Rio softball welcomes Rams, Bears for weekend By Randy Payton URG Sports Information RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande will look to strengthen its hold on the No. 4 seed in the upcoming Mid-South Conference tournament while, at the same time, taking aim at one of the top three spots when it hosts Bluefield College on Friday and the University of Pikeville on Saturday at Rio Softball Park. First pitch for game one of the twinbills is set for 2 p.m. each day. Rio Grande enters the weekend at 22-13 overall and 14-10 in the MSC, resting three games behind third place Campbellsville University and one game in front of fifth place Cumberland University. Head coach Kristen Bradshaw’s squad opened a 10-game homestand on Wednesday with a doubleheader sweep of the University of the Cumberlands, winning by scores of 4-0 and 5-0. Pikeville finds itself battling for the eighth and final spot in the upcoming MSC Tournament with current No. 8 St. Catharine. The Bears, who are coming off a doubleheader sweep of Bluefield on Monday, are 13-22 overall and 9-17 in league play and trail the Patriots by one game. Bluefield is the only MSC school officially eliminated from post-season play. The Rams, who have lost 15 straight games - 10 of which have been via the 8-run mercy rule - are 3-39 overall and 1-27 against conference foes. Rio Grande is led offensively by sophomore Kim Rollins (Cincinnati, OH), who is hitting .316 with eight doubles, seven home runs and 31 runs batted in. Freshman Jenna Jones (Lancaster, OH) is hitting .299 with four home runs and 20 RBIs, while freshman Cheyenne Hamaker (Hilliard, OH) also has eight doubles to go along with a conference-best 27 stolen bases. The hottest bat for the RedStorm, though, belongs to junior Haley Gwin (Troy, OH), who has emerged from a season-long slump by going 12-for-23 (.522) with two doubles, three home runs and six RBIs over her last nine games. Jones and fellow frosh Tiffany Bise (Circleville, OH) provide the 1-2 punch for Rio in the pitcher’s circle. Jones is 12-9 with a 2.59 earned run average in 19 starts, while Bise is 10-3 with a 3.15 ERA in 18 overall appearances.

It was a time of renewal. The woods were purple and white with redbud and dogwood blossoms and fragrant with the aromas of the world coming back to life after a cold winter. The fields and meadows were erupting with green, new growth and food for animals that had lost weight over the preceding months. I was only several days old, so my mother would conceal me in what she considered a secluded place, feed me her milk, and then leave me alone in the way that all whitetail deer mothers do. Very quickly I learned the different smells and sounds in the forest and meadow, where I grew quickly and gained strength. I could stand up on shaky legs, but I was still too young to keep up with my mother. She was a good animal mother who instinctively knew it was far safer to leave me alone and hidden, rather than to draw predators to my location until I was larger and strong enough to be able to run with her and my twin, whom she had hidden elsewhere. I knew I would soon be big and fast enough that almost nothing would be able to catch me. The world was a huge mystery to me, but I watched and listened. One day as I lay resting quietly along the edge of a field against some woods, I saw some strange creatures approaching. There was a pair of large, upright, two-legged animals, a smaller two-legs, and with them was a small four-legged animal that I knew instinctively to be a dog – a predator! It was a beautiful sunny day, and for the most part the sunlight filtering through the grass and leaves fell upon my spotted coat which blended in almost perfectly with the leaves and other plants on the ground. Despite being in the open, I was very well-concealed. The two-legged animals were very loud and did not walk quietly like the other animals I had seen in the woods; the smaller of the twolegs wandered here and there, looking at things, touching this and that and talking very loud and excitedly. The dog stayed close to them, zigzagging, occasionally pausing to sniff a tuft of grass or leave some scent. This was danger! I lay perfectly still and they walked right past where I was laying. It was like they couldn’t see me or smell me at all! My brown, spotted coat blended perfectly into the ground, my white spots looked like spots of sunshine falling through the new leaves onto the forest floor. The two-legs passed by. I was safe! Then the small dog passed very near and stopped, and although I didn’t have much scent I knew it had gotten close enough to smell me even if it couldn’t see me. It came even closer and put its nose against me and sniffed. I stood up on my trembling legs and the dog barked at me. Then the two-legged animals saw me and made some loud sounds with their mouths that caused the dog to leave me alone and run back to them. Another chance! I prepared to wobble away but as I started to move the smaller twolegs darted over, grabbed me and picked me up! I was held fast and had no idea what was going on. It carried me over to the larger two-legged animals and made some plaintive sounds, and I could hear them talking to each other and one of them made some stern sounds to the smaller two legs and pointed back to the spot where I was laying before he picked me up. The smaller two legs cried and made more pleading sounds, at which point the two larger two-legs talked amongst themselves some more. All the while the dog kept sniffing at my legs and scaring me even more. As if suddenly making a decision, one of the larger two-legs took me away. In fear I bleated for my mother, a pitiful “mEehhhh” sound, but they kept walking, carrying me away from my home and my mother, who was undoubtedly somewhere nearby but also afraid of the two-legged animals and their four-legged minion. They carried me for a little while until we reached something large and shiny. It opened up and I was put inside with the two-legs. It made some noise and motion, but I could not see outside of it, and after a while we got out of it in a different place than before. They were actually very gentle with me, but it was no comfort because I was scared beyond belief. My new surroundings were terrifying, and the other animals inside the two-legs’ lair (a dog and a cat who for some reason seemed perfectly comfortable there) kept watching me and smelling me. The two-legs fed me some milk, but it wasn’t my mother’s milk and it made me sick. Plus they couldn’t care for me and attend to my needs like my mother did. To frighten me even more, they constantly handled me and stroked my coat, especially the young one. Several days passed and I was getting sick and weak instead of growing healthy and strong like before. I hurt and could no longer stand. They made concerned sounds, and kept trying to feed me but I was too feeble to eat. I was covered in my own filth and smelled awful. The next morning they gently carried me back outside; the smaller two-legs was crying just like it was the day it picked me up in the meadow, and the big two-legs were silent, not saying anything at all – very much unlike the day they first picked me up, all excited. I was laid softly on the cool green grass (finally something that felt familiar!), but I was unable to hold my head up and lacked the strength even to bleat. As they backed away from me, a fourth two-legged animal that I had not seen before, quietly approached me carrying something dark and cold in its hands, and as its shadow passed over me I had my final thought. Why couldn’t they have just left me alone? Off in the distance a yellowthroat sang and a warm springtime breeze gently rustled the new, green leaves. Then suddenly the world went black and the pain stopped. Sadly this story happens for real every spring when unthinking people remove so-called orphaned animals from their environment. I say “so called” because I believe that in most cases “orphaned” fawns aren’t really orphaned at all, and that some human thought it would be fun to have a pet deer or other critter, without really thinking through how much care is involved in raising a wild animal. Wildlife mothers are good moms and rarely leave their young except to feed, although they will leave them hidden to avoid drawing predators. If you see an animal baby, leave it alone. If it has been left in an exposed area, it is ok to protect it until dark when its mother will most likely come back and move it. Contrary to the old urban legend, it is also OK to put baby birds back into their nests. If you find a rabbit nest in an exposed area, you can cover it with some boards placed over top of blocks. In the past people would call me about their orphaned deer and ordinarily I would discover that they had tried to take care of it for a while, and failed, and called in the hopes of placing it with a rehabilitator. Ohio wildlife rehabilitators are no longer allowed to take white tailed deer, and in many cases good-hearted people will find themselves cited for illegally possessing wildlife. In almost all cases the animals have ultimately been destroyed, essentially sentenced to death the instant they were removed from their environment. The story of the “orphaned” baby animal rarely has a happy ending, so don’t play the part of the irrational two-legs in this tragedy. Leave baby animals alone.

The Lady Knights (115) — winners of seven of their last nine overall — led 7-0 through three innings of play and eventually claimed a season sweep of the Lady Patriots. PPHS claimed a 9-0 win at home in the season opener back on March 21. Point Pleasant outhit PSHS by a 12-1 overall margin and went errorless in the mercy-rule decision, while the hosts committed five errors in the setback. Point stranded five runners on base and the Lady Patriots left just one on the bags. Madison Barker was the winning pitcher of record after allowing just one hit and one walk over five innings while striking out eight. Sydney Smith took the loss after surrendering seven runs, seven hits and zero walks over two innings while fanning two. The Lady Knights hit three home runs in the contest, two of which were three-run shots in the latter innings of play. Cami Hesson started things with a solo homer to rightcenter in the second, then Barker added a three-run shot in the third and Karissa Cochran chipped in a three-run homer in the fifth. PPHS led 2-0 after an inning of play and added two more runs in the second for an early 4-0 cushion after two complete. The guests scored three times in the third and twice more in the fourth to claim a 9-0 edge headed into the bottom of the fourth. The Lady Patriots scored their lone run in the fourth after a leadoff single and a wild pitch allowed Logan Sommerville to score for a 9-1 contest. Point tacked on four more runs in the top of the fifth to wrap up the 12-run triumph. Makinley Higginbotham led the guests with three hits, followed by Barker, Hesson and Rebekah Darst with two safeties apiece. Cochran, Kelly Belcher and Michaela Cottrill also added a hit apiece to the winning cause. Barker had a team-best four RBIs, while Cochran and Darst respectively drove in three and two RBIs. Higginbotham, Cochran, Darst and Cottrill also scored two runs each for the Lady Knights. -292>2îC@==Dî A2DEî"2?46CD�î�� By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — Thorough, from start to finish. The Wahama baseball team led 5-0 through two innings and were ahead by nine runs after five complete Thursday night en route to a 9-2 triumph over visiting Federal Hocking in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Mason County. The host White Falcons (6-4, 5-1 TVC Hocking) outhit the Lancers by an 8-3 overall margin during the wire-towire victory, which served as Wahama’s third straight and sixth out of its last eight contests. FHHS fell to 5-3 overall and 4-3 within league play. WHS led 1-0 after an inning of play, then plated four runs in the bottom of the second en route to a five-run cushion after two compete. Wahama added three runs in the fourth and another in the fifth to take its biggest lead of the night at 9-0 through five full frames. Fed Hock — which produced just three baserunners through five innings — came up with all of three of its hits in the sixth, which led to a pair of scores and seven-run deficit. Neither team scored over the next inning of play, allowing WHS to wrap up the seven-run triumph. The White Falcons stranded eight runners on base and committed one error, while the guests left five on the bags and committed two errors in the setback. Hunter Bradley was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two runs, three hits and two walks over six innings while striking out seven. Hoffman suffered the loss for the Lancers after surrendering eight runs, six hits and seven walks over 3.1 innings while fanning eight. Kane Roush, Wyatt Zuspan and Garrett Miller each led the hosts with two hits, followed by Wesley Harrison and Demetrius Serevicz with a safety apiece. Zuspan drove in a team-high four RBIs and Harrison added three RBIs, while Roush led the White Falcons with four runs scored. Zuspan and Mason Hicks also scored twice for the victors. Maxey, Baker and Hoffman each had a hit for the guests. Baker and Hoffman each drove in a run, while Maxey and Cobb each scored once for FHHS. Have story suggestions?

She was named to the AP all-district third team for her efforts on the basketball court this season and also earned District 13 first team honors. “I’ve coached Katie since fourth grade,” said Eastern head coach John Burdette. “She’s always worked hard, there’s never a time when you have to question if she’s putting effort into it. She likes to work hard in practice and that’s what enabled her to get the scholarship and go to college” Not only was Katie a part of this year’s 2014 OHSAA Division IV State Championship team, she has also competed at the regional level in track and was a part of state semifinalist teams in volleyball and basketball. “Basketball is my favorite, I love it,” said Katie on choosing between he three sports. “It’s the sport I’ve been playing the longest and I’ve had a passion for it since I was little.” Katie capped off her basketball career at Eastern in the best way possible, a state championship. In the state semi-final Keller marked six points, 12 rebounds and five blocks, while turning in a six-point, five rebound performance in the state final. “Her senior year is really when Katie stepped up and became a really good basketball player,” Eastern head coach John Burdette said. “There will be a little transition period but I have a lot of faith that with her work ethic and her basketball IQ. She will be fine at the next level. ” Ursuline is a private college founded in 1871, is located 10 miles outside of Cleveland in Pepper Pike, Ohio.

Rio baseball sets for visit from Blue Raiders By Randy Payton URG Sports Information Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Nick Templeton lays down a bunt during the second inning of Thursday night’s baseball game against Shady Spring in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Point Pleasant outlasts Tigers By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — It’s never over until it’s over. The Point Pleasant baseball team rallied with two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday night to claim a thrilling 8-7 victory over visiting Shady Spring in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. There were four lead changes and one tie throughout the contest, as the host Big Blacks (10-5) trailed 3-0 after a half-inning of play before reeling off a pair of three-run outbursts to secure a 6-3 cushion after two complete. The Tigers (5-7) battled back to knot things up at six after plating runs in the sixth, then SSHS took its final lead of the night by scoring a run in the seventh for a 7-6 edge. Adam Terry singled to start the seventh and later scored on an error to give the guests a one-run lead. PPHS, however, caught a few breaks in the bottom of the seventh as Austen Toler started the game-winning rally with a leadoff walk. Levi Russell followed by reaching safely on an error, then Trevor Porter hit a ground ball back to the pitcher. The pitcher overthrew first base on the force out play, which allowed both Toler and Russell to score — giving PPHS the walk-off win. The hosts outhit Shady Spring by a 9-6 overall margin and committed four errors in the victory, compared to three errors by the guests. Both teams stranded eight runners on base. Levi Russell was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one run and one hit over 1.2 innings of relief while striking out two. PPHS starter Gage Buskirk allowed six runs, five hits and five walks over 5.1 frames while fanning nine in the no-decision. Ryan Snodgrass took the loss after surrendering four earned runs and three walks over six innings while striking out five. Abe Stearns led Point Pleasant with two hits, followed by Toler, Russell, Porter, Alex Somerville, Cody Sockwell, Evan Potter and Nick Templeton with a safety apiece. Potter led the hosts with two RBIs, while Somerville scored a team-high two runs. Jordan Meadows led SSHS with two hits and two runs scored. Brian Schack also drove in a team-best two RBIs in the setback. RIO GRANDE, Ohio — On the heels of one of the more notable wins in program history, the University of Rio Grande baseball team is hoping their new-found momentum can fuel a late-season run that could produce a post-season berth. The first chance to begin that run toward the Mid-South Conference tournament begins Friday afternoon when Lindsey Wilson College pays a visit to Bob Evans Field for the opening game of a three-game weekend set. First pitch is set for 2 p.m., with a doubleheader to close out the series on Saturday beginning at noon. Head coach Brad Warnimont’s club posted a 2-0 win at NCAA Division I Ohio University on Wednesday night - the program’s first win against a Division I opponent during the veteran head coach’s tenure and, perhaps, the school’s first-ever win against Division I foe. Unfortunately, full-season records in the Rio Grande Sports Information office go back only as far as 1997, so whether Wednesday’s shutout of the Bobcats was, in fact, the school’s first over an opponent from the ranks of the NCAA’s top division remains unclear. What is clear, though, is that Wednesday’s victory was the first non-loss against an NCAA Division I foe since March 1, 2000 when the then-Redmen, ironically, battled Ohio University to a 16-16 tie in Athens. Regardless, the victory was an important one for the RedStorm (18-25 overall, 4-17 MSC), who enter the weekend 2-1/2 games behind both the University of the Cumberlands and the University of Pikeville for the final spot in the tourney field with only six conference games remaining on the regular season slate. Contrary to published reports, Rio has not been mathematically Submitted Photo Rio Grande’s Luis Jimenez is tagged out at the plate while trying to score in the eighth inning of Wednesday night’s 2-0 win at Ohio University. Jimenez and the rest of the RedStorm open a three-game weekend series against Lindsey Wilson College on Friday, at 2 p.m., at Bob Evans Field. eliminated from post-season contention, although the magic number for UC and UPike to clinch bids to the tournament stands at just five, meaning any combination of wins by the Patriots and/or the Bears or losses by the RedStorm totaling five would lock up spots for the teams currently tied for seventh in the league standings. Rio is led offensively by senior Marcus Makuch (Baltimore, OH), who is batting .328. He also leads the club in home runs (2), runs batted in (26) and triples (3), while tying junior Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH) for the team lead in doubles with seven and ranking second in stolen bases with 12. Juniors Kevin Arroyo (Toa Baja, Puerto Rico) and Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) are batting .307 and .305, respectively. Arroyo leads the team in hits (46) and stolen bases (14), while Tamane tops the team with 10 sacrifices. Pitching-wise, the most likely candidates for starting assignments in the weekend series are seniors David Steele (Kettering, OH) and Eric Ford (Chagrin Falls, OH) and sophomore Kyle Miller (Wilmington, OH). Steele has become the RedStorm’s ace, posting a 4-4 record and a 2.60 earned run average. The right-hander has thrown a team-best 65-2/3 innings, allowing 53 hits and 24 runs, only 19 of which were earned. He also walked just 18 batters and fanned a team-high 65. Ford has an 0-6 record, but also carries a very respectable 3.94 ERA and .240 opponent’s batting average. Miller has an ERA of just under 6.00, but has thrown three complete games and is one of three Rio hurlers with three wins. As a unit, the RedStorm pitching staff ranks second in the league with a .245 opponents batting average. Lindsey Wilson ranks ninth among the 10 MSC schools in the same category at .284 and the Blue Raiders are eighth in the league in ERA at 4.39. Rio Grande also ranks as the MSC’s top defensive team with a league-low 54 errors and a .966 team fielding percentage. Lindsey Wilson, which is coming off a doubleheader split at Brescia University on Wednesday, is 25-22 overall and 11-9 in league play entering the weekend. The Blue Raiders, like Rio, have three regulars who are hitting .300 or better on the season. The trio is comprised of Mitchell Osnowitz (.359, 12 HR, 12 2B, 39 RBIs, .647 SLG), Derek Shughart (.335, 1 HR, 7 2B, 5 3B, 13 RBI) and Jeandro Andino (.324, 2 HR. 8 2B, 23 RBI). Also, Jordan Berry leads LWC with 43 runs batted in. Leading the list of candidates for starting assigments on the mound for the Blue Raiders are Luke Shearrow (4-2, 2.77 ERA, 65.0 IP), England Smith (4-3, 3.25 ERA, 72.0 IP) and Scott Sebald (5-0, 3.40 ERA, 63.2 IP). Jason Turner (5-4, 3.68 ERA, 2 SV) has been the top reliever. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

Both the Big Blacks and Lady Knights came away with top honors Wednesday night at the 2014 Mason County track and field meet held at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field on the campus of Point Pleasant High School. Point Pleasant won both the girls and boys team titles by a minimum of 17 points each, with Wahama serving as the runner-up in both divisions while Hannan twice finished third in the three-team competitions. Only the Hannan girls failed to win at least one event between the six programs competing. The Lady Knights won 12 of 16 events held and posted a winning tally of 95 points, which was 64 points better than the Lady Falcons’ total of 31 points. The Lady Cats also scored one point as a team in the girls division. PPHS was victorious in all four relay events held, which included wins in the 4x100m (56.39), 4x200m (2:05.92), 4x400m (6:08.09) and 4x102.5m shuttle hurdle (1:16.95) relays.

Alfredo Simon leads Reds over reeling Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — For the Cincinnati Reds, there was no better place to open a 10-game trip than Wrigley Field. Alfredo Simon lowered his ERA to 0.86, and the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Friday for their 16th win in their last 17 games at the Friendly Confines. Making his third start, Simon (2-1) allowed an unearned run in six-plus innings and sent the Cubs to their fifth straight loss. Simon, in the rotation while Mat Latos recovers from elbow and knee injuries, had made 99 relief appearances for the Reds before getting a chance to start this year. “He’s wanted more opportunity. We’ve given that to him,” manager Bryan Price said. “I think it was a good idea that we brought him into camp to start in case we had an injury or didn’t have the depth. And our good fortune is that he came in ready to go and had a great spring and is off to a good start.” Simon struck out three and walked two. “I feel great,” he said. “I just tried to keep the ball down today and just try to (get ground balls).” Jonathan Broxton pitched a hitless ninth for his second save in two tries, completing a sixhitter for the Reds, who stretched their winning streak to a season-best three and have won four of five. Cincinnati, which won last year’s season series 14-5, went ahead on Billy Hamilton’s RBI double in the fifth. The Reds made it 3-0 in the sixth when Zack Cozart hit a bases-loaded grounder to third, and second baseman Emilio Bonifacio’s relay for a double-play attempt went wide of first for an error that allowed Ryan Ludwick to score from second. Ludwick had reached on catcher’s interference by Welington Castillo. “Believe me, we don’t take it for granted that we’re coming in here to win all the games,” Price said. “I mean, we want to but we don’t take it for granted at all.” Jeff Samardzija (0-2) gave up three runs — one earned — and six hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts and two walks. He is 0-4 despite a 3.86 ERA in 10 starts since winning at San Diego on Aug. 24. “It’s a tough day to hit with that wind,” he said. “It’s just the way it goes sometimes. You can’t let it get to you.” �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2014 ALONG THE RIVER AT LEFT, Laura Harrison Frazier and Sam Alleman check out their Easter nest. AT RIGHT, John Baily made this Easter nest in the 1930s for Edward and Betty Genheimer. C1 Family photos One family’s Easter traditions spanning eight generations By Jennifer Wise Harrison Special to The Sunday Times-Sentinel POMEROY — One can hardly talk about Easter traditions in Appalachia without referencing German traditions, since the region is so heavily settled by immigrants from that country. The first known reference to the Easter hare and its eggs appears to be German, in a book dating from 1572: “Do not worry if the Hare escapes you; should we miss his eggs, then we shall cook the nest.” The Easter hare — or Osterhase — was once regarded by the Germans as a sacred animal. In Swabia, the day before Easter, children made little nests of straw, moss or twigs known as the “Hare’s Garden” (Hasengärtle), so that the Easter hare will know where to leave his eggs when he makes his deliveries during the night. Residents of Odenwald placed a miniature house covered with moss in the garden and children are told that the Easter hare will come and put colored eggs in it. In the Deister mountains near Hannover, he finds carefully prepared nests of moss awaiting his visit. Die Hunsrücker Küch, a cookbook by Christiane Becker from the Hunsrück region of Germany, not only provided recipes but also the little known folk-customs that went along with holidays, marriages, and harvest celebrations. It told of the fascinating description of the Easter of a Hunsrücker child. It seemed that for a week or two ahead of Easter morning, the children went into the forests of the Hünsruck and gathered moss so that the Easter rabbit would find ABOVE, pretty Easter baskets made by Betty Genheimer Knight for her grandchildren fill the nest. AT LEFT, Jennifer Wise in her pretty Easter outfit is waiting to fill her basket. a soft nest for his eggs. This nest was usually placed in the garden unless the weather was so inclement that a little willow basket, lined with this moss, had to be brought into the kitchen of the farmhouse. In the 18th century, German settlers brought these traditions to the United States. By the 19th century, the Easter hare had become the Easter bunny, delighting children with baskets of eggs, chocolates, candy, jelly beans and other gifts on Easter morning. George and Rozena (Trushel) Baer were no exception to this tradition. They left Germany and arrived in America in 1853, settling in Forest Run in Meigs County. The Baers had eight children, who enjoyed their Hasengärtle on Easter morning and in time passed the tradition down to the next generation. Over the years, many of the Baer descendants have participated in the tradition of the “Hare’s Garden,” preparing the moss nest for the Easter holiday, usually with something interesting to share. One of the descendants tells of how they took moss from this area to their family in Florida, where there was no moss, so their nephews could have a traditional “Easter nest.” Another story told of a certain style of nest made by the grandmother, while the grandfather used “special ferns” when he was in charge of the nest building. The “trek” into the woods to find the moss was always an adventure because, regardless of snow, rain or sunshine, the moss had to be gathered a day or two prior to Easter Sunday. Since the family’s arrival in America some 160 years ago, one of the lines of Baer descendants that continue with this tradition is from Anna Catherine Baer Baily, who passed it to daughters Kathleen Baily Scott and Rozena Baily Genheimer. They, in turn, passed it on to their families. In fact, the Baily Scott line has most recently passed it on to the eighth generation, keeping this old German tradition alive. ABOVE, in this 1990s picture Kathleen Baily Scott and her great-granddaughters, Megan and Laura Harrison, prepare to go moss hunting for nest making.

These programs are designed to help finance small businesses and manufacturers that are creditworthy, but for a variety of reasons are not receiving the financing they need from the private sector to expand and create jobs. �C î!92:î,Fî;@:?Dî Holzer in Pomeroy GALLIPOLIS — Holzer is proud to announce that Dr. Khai Vu has joined Holzer Health System.

MHS students inducted into National Honor Society POMEROY — Ten Meigs High School students were inducted into the National Honor Society in a ceremony held in the high school gymnasium Thursday. Inducted were Hannah Cremeans, Dempsey Rupe, Collen Young and Sara Klein, Katelyn Hill, Amber Davidson, Mitchell Howard, Haley Kennedy, Lindsay Patterson and Ty Phelps. Nine juniors and one senior were selected to become a part of the distinguished national organization. To qualify for induction, students must demonstrate good character, service and leadership in their school and community, and a commitment to scholarship throughout their high school career, maintaining a 3.5 grade point average or above. The ceremony opened with comments by Alyson Dettwiller, president, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Alexis Schwab, vice president. Devan Dugan, treasurer, introduced four current members who explained what each of the NHS pillars represented and then led the new inductees in the society’s pledge. Secretary Bradley Helton introduced the other current members that included Shandi Beaver, Breanné Bonnett, Olivia Cremeans, Kim Cunningham, Brittany Durst, Abigail Houser, Brandon Mahr, Taylor Rowe, Morgan Russell, Briana Smith, Carolann Stewart, Carly Taylor, Tara Walzer-Kuharic, and Darrin Will.

Some are wearing camouflage, masks and bandannas. Their goal? To shoot their target in the face with a squirt gun, and then take a picture. Some of those photos can be seen on Twitter. It’s all part of a game called “Assassins,” and Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger is concerned it could lead to a reallife tragedy. He said the game involves 135 two-person teams of students from Wheeling Park High School, Wheeling Central Catholic High School and The Linsly School. The teams are assigned another team to target. The team must hunt their target and squirt them with a water gun, then take a picture of the wet target to show elimination. In the end, the winning team will collect more than $1,300 taken from an entry fee of participants. Assigned teams have two weeks to eliminate their target to avoid elimination. Schwertfeger said the teams cannot attack their target during school, work, prom or at a sporting event. They cannot break into a house to ambush a target, the guns cannot look like real guns and the police cannot be called. “Because of time restrictions, many of these students are hunting their targets late at night or early in the morning when it is dark,” he said. “I have been made aware of students chasing their targets in vehicles, running into local restaurants and stores to hit their targets and hiding in bushes or sheds.” The group, in its Twitter feed, remarked this morning that “We made the front page guys,” referring to the story in The Intelligencer. Photos on the feed show youngsters being eliminated from the game in various neighborhoods and also on the streets of downtown. A set of rules also emerges through the feed, such as restaurants or businesses that forbid the game from being played within its doors. Schwertfeger said some of the activity could look like a real breaking and entering or an armed assault. He said one Wheeling police officer returning home from work encountered some players sneaking around his house. “It’s important for our officers to be aware of this game and that they exercise extreme caution and sound judgment in the event they are dispatched to a prowler call or a suspicious vehicle or in- dividual call,” he said. Earlier this month, a group of high school students taking part in the Leadership Wheeling Youth program at the Ogden Newspapers Printing and Technology Center discussed the game with one of the newspaper’s editors. While discussing some of the more creative ways players have eliminated their target — hiding in a trash can outside someone’s home for an hour takes a lot of patience — they also noted that at least one player had used a construction vehicle, with flashing lights, to pull over a target on a public road and eliminate them. That’s the type of activity that concerns Schwertfeger. The chief said the game may be especially troubling in Wheeling to some residents who may be on edge because of two recent bank robberies, a shooting on Wheeling Island and a spike in home invasions. “If I were in a restaurant or other public place and saw this happen, I would engage the shooter,” he said. He said the students could easily end up in a dangerous encounter with a police officer or an armed resident wanting to protect their property. Schwertfeger said he is aware of the allure of the game. He played 30 years ago when he was a criminal justice student at a local college. “It was fun back then, but we are living in a different time today,” he said. Ohio County Schools Superintendent Dianna Vargo is also aware of the situation. “We are working with the Wheeling Police Department and our prevention resource officers to make parents aware of a game being played using squirt guns by high school students throughout the Ohio Valley,” she said. NE Ohio officer has knack for calming vicious dogs By Evan Goodenow Associated Press AP Photo Members of the Israeli and foreigner's group tour, that is organized by IPCRI, an Israeli Palestinian group promoting coexistence, visit the grave of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat at the West Bank city of Ramallah. This bustling center of Palestinian life is just a 20-minute drive from Jerusalem, but for Israelis it might as well be on the other side of the world. Curious about Palestine, Israeli visitors return By Karin Laub Associated Press RAMALLAH, West Bank — This bustling center of Palestinian life is just a 20-minute drive from Jerusalem, but for Israelis it might as well be on the other side of the world. Since a major round of IsraeliPalestinian fighting more than a decade ago, Israelis have been kept out of Palestinian cities by the Israeli military and their own fears. But after several years of relative calm, a few have begun trickling back in tours led by Palestinian guides and guarded by plainclothes Palestinian security agents. On Wednesday, about two dozen visitors, Israelis and a few foreigners, visited the mausoleum of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and a shrine to national poet Mahmoud Darwish — though hopes of talking to local residents went unfulfilled. The trip fell in the week of the Jewish holiday of Passover, and those observing religious tradition unwrapped matzo, or unleavened bread, during lunch at a local restaurant, as Arabic music played in the background. The tour also came as another U.S. attempt to broker an IsraeliPalestinian peace deal appeared doomed. Gershon Baskin, an organizer, said such trips are needed, nonetheless, to foster understanding after years of enforced separation that deepened the divide between the two peoples. “There will never be peace in this land unless the people living on the land talk to each other and … drop these walls of fear, animosity and hatred,” he said. While some Palestinians, especially shopkeepers, would welcome large numbers of Israeli visitors to their towns, others dismiss the possibility of normalizing relations while the Israeli military occupation continues. “Normalization is the attempt to deceptively project something abnormal as if it were normal,” said Omar Barghouti, co-founder of a Palestinian-led movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS), aimed at ending occupation and what it considers other violations of international law. “Ethical co-existence can only come as a result of ending oppres- sion and injustice,” Barghouti said in an emailed comment. “Israelis who support comprehensive Palestinian rights under international law and ‘co-resist’ oppression are welcome.” One of the stops on Wednesday’s itinerary, the village of Nabi Saleh, was canceled at short notice because of an internal Palestinian debate over what constitutes acceptable relations with Israelis. Like several other villages, Nabi Saleh has been holding weekly protest marches against Israeli practices in the West Bank, including the confiscation of land. Israeli and foreign activists often join those protests. “Usually, we accept these (visiting Israeli) groups,” said Bassem Tamimi, a Nabi Saleh protest leader who has repeatedly been arrested and jailed by Israel. He said Wednesday’s visit was called off because there was a sense that Palestinian public opinion is largely against Israeli visits to Ramallah and attempts at normalization. The Israelis came to Ramallah with their own issues, including security concerns, but also a lot of curiosity. LORAIN, Ohio — The dog whisperer carries a pistol, but rarely uses it. Police Officer Richard Broz relies on patience and instinct to win dogs over. “A lot of cops are afraid of dogs,” Broz said. “A dog growls at them and they think the dog’s going to attack them, and the dog gets shot.” Broz, an officer since 1990, has had to shoot vicious dogs three times, but only as a last resort. He goes out of his way to avoid violence. On March 15, he climbed a fence and used a snare pole to keep a pit bull that was caught in a fence from biting him. Broz on Feb. 22 crawled under a car to leash a loose pit bull that had been sprayed by a skunk, but turned out to be friendly. Sometimes the dogs jump into his police cruiser when he leaves the door open. Broz since last summer has become the officer dispatchers call for dog complaints. “He takes a special interest,” said Dr. Thomas Wood, a veterinarian at the Lorain Animal Clinic where Broz takes strays for treatment before they are turned over to the Lorain County Dog Kennel. “He’ll go the extra mile.” The clinic has worked with the police department since 1956 and handles between 300 and 500 animals annually, Wood said. Broz is a familiar face, dropping off dogs on a weekly basis. Those with tags are reunited with their owners quickly. Most are friendly, but some, who may have been abused, are not. Broz has volunteered at the Friendship Animal Protective League since 2012. He works on controlling his fear of being bitten, something dogs can sense and react aggressively to. Training includes sitting in a cage with a dog that is not vicious but won’t socialize. Broz said sometimes it takes an hour, but the dog will eventually come to him. Broz, who spends several hours per week volunteering, said it’s given him a better understanding of canine behavior. That allows him to interact better with dogs he encounters on patrol. “I’ve had a number of dogs that I’m pretty sure most guys (officers) probably would’ve shot just because of the way the dog was acting,” he said. “With a person, you can bluff them and get them to back down, get them to cooperate. You can’t do that with a dog because a dog will smell your fear.” Greg Willey, league executive director, said the league, formed in 1957, has about 115 volunteers. Willey said Broz is among the most dedicated. “He’s the guy who will do anything you ask of him,” Willey said. “He’ll never complain.” Broz is part of the “Muttley Crew,” a group of volunteers who walk dogs three times per week. Broz also cleans kennels, does maintenance and helps care for cats and dogs at the league. The shelter in Elyria has about 35 dogs and 110 cats. Willey said the extensive amount of time Broz spends with the animals at the shelter allows him to build a rapport with them. That helps on the street where police don’t have much help with dogs. Lorain hasn’t had a dog catcher since 2009 due to budget cuts. And since the resignation of the county’s deputy dog warden earlier this month, Chief Deputy Dog Warden Nelson Delgado is responsible for covering the entire county. Food From Page C2 Among their properties: perpetually popular Barbuzzo, which offers a Mediterranean kitchen and bar; Jamonera, a Spanish wine bar with an extensive sherry list; and the relatively new Italian dining room Little Nonna’s. Their innovative take on Mexican food, Lolita, was scheduled to reopen in April after undergoing renovations. Another Mexican outpost is the hard-to-miss El Vez, a gregarious emporium from hometown restaurateur Stephen Starr. And across the street is the eyecatching Sampan and its semi-hidden Graffiti Bar, both offering a contemporary Asian menu from chef Michael Schulson. Nearly all the eateries offer outdoor seating, which makes for crowded, lively sidewalks. It also eases the seating crunch at tiny places like Zavino, an informal pizzeria and wine bar that boasts some of the city’s best pies. AP Photos AT LEFT, patrons sit outside of Sampan, a contemporary Asian restaurant, along 13th Street in Philadelphia. Tourism officials will tell you the restaurant-rich area in the heart of downtown is called Midtown Village, but that moniker hasn't entirely caught on with locals. Philadelphia food lovers just know 13th Street as a vibrant area chock full of great eateries and wine bars. AT RIGHT, pedestrians walk along 13th Street near Capogiro gelato in Philadelphia. Favorites include the “Stache” (whole-wheat crust with pistachio pesto, mozzarella, Parmesan, lemon vinaigrette and baby arugula) and the “Joey” (sausage, mozzarella, crushed tomato, spinach, garlic, provolone and chili flakes). Zavino also offers a small selection of homemade pasta and noshes like charcuterie and olives. Thirsty? Duck into historic McGillin’s Olde Ale House, one of the nation’s oldest taverns, where the walls are filled with Phillyoriented memorabilia, beer collectibles and liquor licenses dating back to the 19th century. Or try the much younger Bru, a German beer hall specializing in Bavarian cuisine. Both have entrances on tiny Drury Street, just off 13th between Sansom and Chestnut. For dessert, try Marcie Blaine Chocolates tucked in the back of the Verde gift shop — both of which are Turney/Safran enterprises. Or head to Capogiro gelato. Capogiro specializes in small batches that use seasonal ingredients, so don’t be surprised by concoctions like lemon opal basil sorbetto. You’re allowed to combine flavors in a single cup; be sure to take advantage of the free tastings before you mix and match. Hint: If it’s available, orange-cardamom pairs wonderfully with milk chocolate. Mmmmmm. Farther down 13th Street, toward the neighborhood affectionately known as the Gayborhood, you’ll hit the upscale Indian restaurant Indeblue. When you get to Locust Street, you’ll find Little Nonna’s; well-reviewed Nomad Pizza; and Vedge, the acclaimed vegan restaurant helmed by “Chopped”winning chef Rich Landau. Fans say you won’t even miss the meat and dairy because the flavors are so tantalizing. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
