Staff Report

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Fishermen
(and women) have been
ﬂocking to two lakes in
Mason County following
spring trout stockings.
The West Virginia
Division of Natural
Resources (WVDNR)
stocked Cornstalk Lake

in Southside on March
17 and the lake at Krodel
Park on March 23. The
two local lakes were also
stocked with trout in
January.
In addition to that
semi-annual stocking,
Gov. Jim Justice
recently announced
the return of the West
Virginia Gold Rush trout

program which began
stocking golden trout
at designated locations

from March 29 to April
9, the WVDNR will stock
golden rainbow trout
at 69 other lakes and

– an increase from the
original 62 – including

Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young speaks
before President Joe Biden about his proposed budget for fiscal
year 2023 on Monday in the State Dining Room of the White House
in Washington.

persist in Biden’s coalition and the possible gaps
between the promises
of what is being offered
and the realities of what
ultimately emerges. Biden
has backed many of these
ideas previously without
necessarily getting a full

households. The proposal
lists another $1.4 trillion
in revenue raised over
the next decade through
other tax increases that
are meant to preserve
Biden’s pledge to not hike
taxes on people earning
less than $400,000.
The 156-page plan also

said in a statement, “and
the budget I am releasing
today sends a clear message that we value ﬁscal
responsibility, safety and
security at home and
around the world, and
the investments needed
to continue our equitable
growth and build a better
America.”
It’s a midterm elections pitch to a nation
still off balance from a
chaotic few years caused
by the pandemic, an
economic recession, a
recovery, challenges to
U.S. democracy, and war
in Ukraine. The Biden
budget foresees cutting
annual deﬁcits by more
than $1 trillion over
the next decade. Those
reductions would occur in
large part through higher
taxes and the expiration
of relief spending tied to
the coronavirus outbreak
that began in 2020.

Judge: Trump likely committed crimes related to election
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A
federal judge on Monday
asserted it is “more likely
than not” that former
President Donald Trump
committed crimes in
his attempt to stop the
certiﬁcation of the 2020
election, ruling to order
the release of more than
100 emails from Trump
adviser John Eastman to
the committee investigating the insurrection at
the U.S. Capitol.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge David
Carter marked a major
legal win for the House
panel as it looks to correspondence from Eastman, the lawyer who was
consulting with Trump as
he attempted to overturn
the presidential election.
“Based on the evidence, the Court ﬁnds
it more likely than not
that President Trump
corruptly attempted to
obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” Carter, who
was nominated by former

effort to link the former
president to a federal
crime. Lawmakers do not
have the power to bring
criminal charges on their
own and can only make
a referral to the Justice
Department. The department has been investigating last year’s riot, but it
has not given any indication that it is considering
seeking charges against
Trump.
The committee argued
in the court documents
that Trump and his
associates engaged in a
“criminal conspiracy” to
prevent Congress from
certifying Democrat
Joe Biden’s victory in
the Electoral College.
Trump and those working with him then spread
false information about
the outcome of the
presidential election and
pressured state ofﬁcials
to overturn the results,
potentially violating
multiple federal laws, the
panel said.
The trove of documents the nine-member
panel has publicly
released so far, which

President Bill Clinton,
wrote in the ruling submitted in the federal Central District of California.
Eastman was trying to
withhold documents from
the committee on the
basis of an attorney-client
privilege claim between
him and the former
president. The committee responded earlier this
month, arguing that there
is a legal exception allowing the disclosure of communications regarding
ongoing or future crimes.
Charles Burnham, an
attorney representing
Eastman, said in a statement Monday that his
client has a responsibility to his attorney-client
privilege and his lawsuit
against the committee “seeks to fulﬁll this
responsibility.”
“It is not an attempt
to ‘hide’ documents or
‘obstruct’ congressional
investigations, as the
January 6th committee
falsely claims,” Burnham
said.

Justice Thomas joins court
remotely after hospital stay
WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Clarence
Thomas participated in arguments at the Supreme
Court via telephone rather than in person on Monday following a hospital stay of nearly a week.
Chief Justice John Roberts said at the beginning
of arguments that the 73-year-old Thomas would
be “participating remotely this morning,” but did
not say why.
Thomas’ voice was clear when he asked several
questions during arguments over a federal law
meant to protect railroad workers, at one point
making an analogy to when he drives his 40-foot
long motor coach.
“Some of this seems a little bit counterintuitive
and I admit to being a little bit wrapped around
the axle,” Thomas said, eliciting smiles from some
colleagues. Thomas also posed questions in the
day’s second case about arbitration.
Other justices have participated in arguments
remotely since the court started its term in the
fall.
Thomas missed all three days of arguments last
week while he was hospitalized, although he is
planning to take part in the decisions, Roberts
said.
Thomas was admitted to the hospital March 18
after experiencing “ﬂu-like symptoms” and was
treated for an infection with intravenous antibiotics.

week of March of 7
through March 11
brought authors from the
Appalachian region to
her classroom to share
life experiences with
middle school students
about writing as well as
creating opportunities for
students to communicate
directly with people
who have the same
backgrounds as do
South Gallia students
and become successful
published authors.
According to the news
release, the atmosphere
in her classroom that
week was charged
with positivity but also
resulted in personal
growth from the exposure
to so many and such
successful people.
Monday, March 7,
marked the arrival of
Michelle Miller. Like
many authors, Miller
loved to write even as
a child. She worked as
a newspaper reporter
and dabbled in directing
dramatic productions.
Through the years, Miller
worked quietly on a novel
that when shared with the
world, was published and
is the oldest sibling to her
other two novels. Miller
lives in southeastern
Ohio and shares life with
her husband, her adult
children, and her many
animals.
On Tuesday, March 8,
poetess Mamie Morgan
came to town. Morgan
worked as a teacher at a
ﬁne arts high school for
14 years before opening
a bridal shop in South
Carolina. Morgan focused

“We’ve looked at this
hard and I don’t think

on writing for writing’s
sake and encouraged
students to consider the
positivity that can come
from composing poetry.
Students engaged in
poetry writing while they
were with Ms. Morgan.
Morgan’s ﬁrst big
publishing contract will
come to fruition with her
book of poetry that will
be available to the public
in 2023.
Dr. Robert Lawson
lived here in Gallia
County and continues
to live in the region. His
work and books focus on
the resilience of humans
and their capacity to
rise above challenges
that might tear them
down and defeat them.
Lawson has written many
books and is a much
sought-after presenter.
His presentations focus
on empowering people
to overcome fear while
celebrating the invincible
human spirit. Dr. Lawson
speaks to the innate
needs students have to
grow not only physically
but emotionally and
spiritually as well.
Authoress Casey Bond
hails from West Virginia
where she loves stamping
metal jewelry, swimming,
and all of nature in
general. Like Lawson,
Bond’s focus in her books
is on the phoenix that
ultimately rises from
the ashes to brilliantly
overcome. Bond believes
that every book needs a
world in which a reader
can wrap himself or
herself, a character the
reader wants to win,
and a love for whom the
reader would ﬁght.
Also on Thursday,
Gallia County native
Bryna Butler shared her

account of becoming
a published author.
Butler successfully
married her career
as a communications
professional in corporate
ﬁnance where she wrote
publications and press
releases about that ﬁeld
to the world of ﬁction.
Her jump into young
adult ﬁction began in
2010. Butler’s work is
considered appropriate
for both teens and
preteens. Her characters
are realistic and bear
the consequences of
making poor choices
and yet celebrate when
choices result in positive
outcomes. Ms. Butler’s
writing is inspired by
the area in which she
resides. Butler not only
writes successful books in
the indie genre, but she
is also very supportive
of her community, her
husband and sons, and
the local 4-H program.
To complete the
week, one of the biggest
supporters of young
people in southeastern
Ohio, Jimmy Burrow,
shared on Friday, March
11. Burrow is the father
of Cincinnati Bengals
quarterback, Joe Burrow.
In addition to being
coach to his son and
one of his son’s primary
encouragers, Jimmy
played college football at
Nebraska and was drafted
by Green Bay in 1976.
After his time with the
Packers, Jimmy played
in the Canadian Football
League. Post pro-football,
he became an Assistant
Head Coach/Defensive
coordinator for Ohio
University.
Coach Burrow shared a
winning formula for each
student to “rise up” and

succeed in life.
Respect — respect
everyone at all times;
Integrity — honesty
and truth in all aspects
of life;
Service — giving back
to others;
Effort — always give
100% of myself;
Unity — work together
toward a common goal;
Perseverance — never
ever give up on yourself.
Burrow and his wife
Robin are both credited
with giving strong support
and providing a positive
atmosphere for all three
of their sons. Education
is not only important to
Jimmy. His wife serves as
a principal in southeastern
Ohio as well.
Right to Read Week
is a national endeavor
to call attention to the
importance of literacy
and all the positive
by-products that can
come from reading. South
Gallia Middle School
students very much
enjoyed the time spent
with all these authors
who were so willing to
come and share their life
stories, stated the news
release.
These writers certainly
were able to encourage
students to follow the
Right to Read slogan,
“Read to know what
COULD be. Believe to
know where you CAN go.
Succeed YOUR way, on
your OWN terms.”
The news release
concluded: “Ms.
Cremeens’ ﬁrst attempt
at Right to Read Week
was more than a
positive success and the
expectation is for the
project to grow in stature
and success in the coming
years.”

to assist with payment.
An additional agreement
with Meta Solutions to
purchase new wireless
access points, network
switches, and necessary
management licenses.
The district is seeking
to utilize funds from the
federal E-rate program to
assist with payment.
Tonia Radcliffe was
approved as a Volunteer
Assistant Archery Coach
for the 2021-2022 school
year, pending completion of all administrative

requirements.
Carmen Manuel was
rehired as a Middle
School Seventh Grade
Science Teacher on a
one-year contract as per
the MLTA retire/rehire
negotiated agreement
provision.
FMLA leave requests
were approved.
The board approved
to authorize continued
membership in the Ohio
High School Athletic
Association (OHSAA)
for the 2022-2023 school

year.
The board adopted the
proposed school calendar
for the 2022-2023 school
year as presented.
The board went into
executive session. Upon
reconvening, the minutes
did not mention if any
action was taken.
The next regular meeting of the Meigs Local
Board of Education is set
for Wednesday, April 13
at 6:30 p.m.

we’re going to be able to
improve on that and keep
proportionality,” McDonald said.
Meanwhile, a panel
of federal judges raised
a new option Friday to

keep the state’s May 3
primary alive: shrinking
Ohio’s robust early voting
period.
The panel ordered
Republican Secretary of
State Frank LaRose —

who is also a redistricting commission member
— to pinpoint by Monday whether making such
an adjustment would violate any state or federal
laws.
