The jury of nine women and three men, plus two alternates, was seated at 12:25 p.m. on Tuesday, ending jury selection which began on Monday. Following a lunch break, the jury was taken on the jury view of the Middleport Jail and select locations at the Meigs County Courthouse as requested by the prosecution. Prosecutor Angela Canepa and Defense Attorney Kirk McVay then gave opening statements. Canepa told the jurors the case she plans to present, including details of the witnesses and the charges against Tucker. Tucker, who was a corrections ofﬁcer at the Middleport Jail and a probation ofﬁcer for Meigs County Common Pleas Court, was charged in two separate indictments with 31 felony charges and one misdemeanor charge. Charges in the initial indictment include: six counts of Sexual Battery, third-degree felonies; six counts of Kidnapping, ﬁrst-degree felonies; ﬁve counts of Gross Sexual Imposition, fourth-degree felonies; ﬁve counts of Attempted Sexual Battery, fourthdegree felonies; four counts of Attempted Compelling Prostitution, fourth-degree felonies; one count of Theft in Ofﬁce, a ﬁfth-degree felony; one count of Soliciting, a third-degree misdemeanor. The second indictment was for two counts of kidnapping, ﬁrst-degree felonies, along with fourth-degree felony charges of gross sexual imposition and attempted sexual battery. Canepa explained the charges, breaking down the elements of each offense which must be proven by the prosecution. She also deﬁned the difference between sexual conduct and sexual contact as part of the charges against Tucker. “This case is as much about abuse of author- ity as sexual acts,” said Canepa. “Instead of helping these women he was helping himself to them.” The charge of sexual battery, as charged, relates to the victim of the crime being incarcerated or supervised by Tucker at the time of the offense. As previously reported, Tucker is accused of sexually assaulting or attempting to sexually assault 12 different inmates and/or probationers while working as a corrections ofﬁcer at the Middleport Jail and as a Meigs County Common Pleas Court probation ofﬁcer. The incidents are alleged to have occurred between January 2011 and November 2017. In addition to calling the victims of the crimes as witnesses, Canepa said she plans to call other women who witnessed the actions or had themselves been subjected to inappropriate comments. Multiple law enforcement ofﬁcials are also expected to take the stand in the case.

Daily Sentinel USDA announces sign-up period COLUMBUS — The next deadline for Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) applications to be considered for funding in ﬁscal year (FY) 2019 is May 10, 2019. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to invest up to $700 million nationally for new enrollments and contract extensions in ﬁscal year 2019. The 2018 Farm Bill made several changes to this critical conservation program, which helps agricultural producers take the conservation activities on their farm or ranch to the next level. “CSP continues to be a very effective tool for private landowners working to achieve their conservation and management goals,” said Terry Cosby, NRCS state conservationist in Ohio. “It is the largest conservation program in the United States with more than 70 million acres of productive agricultural and forest land enrolled.” While applications are accepted throughout the year, interested producers should submit applications to their local NRCS ofﬁce by May 10, 2019, to ensure their applications are considered for 2019 funding. Changes to the Program The 2018 Farm Bill authorizes NRCS to accept new CSP enrollments from now until 2023, and it makes some important improvements to the program. These updates include: �DH9I�dem�[dhebbi�[b_]_Xb["�^_]^�hWda_d]� applications based on dollars rather than acres. For ﬁscal 2019, NRCS can spend up to $700 million in the program, which covers part of the cost for producers implementing new conservation activities and maintaining their existing activities. �>_]^[h�fWoc[dj�hWj[i�Wh[�dem�WlW_bWXb[�\eh� certain conservation activities, including cover crops and resource conserving crop rotations. �9IF�dem�fhel_Z[i�if[Y_ÒY�ikffehj�\eh�eh]Wdic and for transitioning to organic production activities and a special grassland conservation initiative for certain producers who have maintained cropland base acres. About the Program CSP is offered in Ohio through continuous signups. The program provides many beneﬁts including increased crop yields, decreased inputs, wildlife habitat improvements and increased resilience to weather extremes. CSP is for working lands including cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of a tribe.

I thought all the children understood that ﬂowKathleen ers looked prettier in the yard than in a vase in the house. Floyd We invested in a variety of bulbs Contributing and planted them at the proper time columnist and depth and settled back to wait for the colorful ﬂowers to raise their petals. I was looking forward to knowing that at least some of the colorful objects in the yard were ﬂowers instead of broken “unbreakable” plastic toys. Spring came early in May that year, but the ﬂowers didn’t. Just when we decided those bulbs had become chipmunk food, the leaves began to poke through. We all watched and waited. Finally a bright yellow daffodil nodded at us. We congratulated each other like proud new parents, and then slowly our fascination waned as more ﬂowers popped forth. We began to take them for granted, or most of us did. The three youngest were very involved with each new bloom. They would summon me with, “Mommy, come see!” I’d look out the window and say, “Oh, how pretty.” They’d smile and go on to play. But one day I didn’t “come see” fast enough, so in very short order I had a lovely bouquet of extremely short stemmed posies, which we carefully arranged in several soup bowls. Apparently the information chain had been broken between child number ﬁve and six. We had a nice chat about ﬂowers being prettier in the yard, and they agreed not to pick any ﬂowers in our yard without getting permission ﬁrst. The very next day the three-year-old brought me a lovely bouquet of bright red tulips. “Oh, they’re very pretty, but you promised not to pick any more ﬂowers in our yard without permission.” “I didn’t,” she assured me calmly. “These are from the neighbor’s yard.” By the time a mother gets to the eighth child, she should know that children follow the absolute literal letter of any and all rules. Flowers from the neighbor’s yard just were not covered in the previous day’s discussion Fortunately, the neighbor considered herself a surrogate grandmother to all eight of our children, and she was willing to accept some of her tulips, an apology, and a promise not to pick any more ﬂowers anywhere without permission. I sat back and smiled, sure that all loopholes had been closed and all the ﬂowers in the neighborhood were safe from plucking by any of our brood. But at lunch time the next day I looked out the kitchen window and saw that most of the ﬂowers had been plucked again. Before I had a chance to yell at anyone I witnessed the guilty parties in action. We had two overgrown black lab pups that had become real ﬂower children. As I watched, one of them pranced up, neatly nipped off a hyacinth, and tossed it to the other pup. They chased each other through the yard until the ﬂower was demolished. Then they nipped back for another bloom and continued the game. Explaining to pups that the ﬂowers looked prettier in the yard was beyond me, so we decided to wait until they grew up to raise ﬂowers. They did grow up and are long gone, but we didn’t get around to raising ﬂowers until lately. My ﬁrst efforts were mowed down by my lawnloving husband. The next attempt was beautiful in its ﬁrst year, but unfortunately was scooped up and replanted in the way-back yard by a construction crew when we decided to build a garage and driveway. With the help of our grandson, the old bulbs plus a bunch of new ones were replanted along the driveway last fall. They were in full bloom when the snow came a week ago - bunch after bunch containing yellow daffodils, red tulips and deep blue grape hyacinths. Well worth waiting for all these years. The only problem is this old lady’s fascination with them. Every time I go up or down the driveway, I ﬁnd myself looking at the beautiful ﬂowers, and one of these days I’m probably going to drive right through them and the new white fence.

THEIR VIEW Pansies shrug off late frost It’s easy to enjoy cheerful March-April color without worrying about frost damage. All you need is a ﬂat or two of cold-hardy pansies. We really like the “Matrix” series, because of their extremely large blooms. They come in a huge selection of colors from the subtle “Matrix Pink Shades” to showier “Matrix Deep Orange” and “Matrix Purple”. New varieties like “Frizzle Sizzle Mix” and “Matrix Sunrise” are a bit different and distinctive, with brighter and showier colors that really stand out. These can be planted right now regardless of the weather. It’s hard to resist their velvety friendly faces. Pansies shrug off the cold, frost and snow. Experienced growers grow their pansies in unheated greenhouses instead of forcing them in a warm greenhouse, so their pansies are tougher and more “hard- frost kills them the ened off” than pansies will burst hothouse-grown into bloom for the plants.

Like most plants they will grow better in ﬂuffy, welldrained soil than they will in hard clay. A good way to rotate your planter pots and window boxes is to ﬁll them with pansies at this time of year and then reﬁll them with other annuals once danger of frost is past. The pansies can be transplanted from your containers into a shady spot in your garden; they’ll give you an “encore” of cheerful fall color.

Another RBI single by Harmon gave the Purple and Gold a 5-0 lead in the top of the second, and then SHS went up 8-0 in the third, as Logan Drummer drove in two and then score on a twoout single by Shuler.

The Wahama baseball team broke a one-all tie with four scores over the ﬁnal two frames and ultimately secured a season sweep of host Belpre on Monday night with a 5-1 victory in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest in Washington County. The White Falcons (17-4, 11-3 TVC Hocking) never trailed in the contest as the guests built a 1-0 lead in the top of the third after Brayden Davenport scored during a double play. The Golden Eagles, however, rallied to tie things in the home half of the third as Logan Adams was hit by a pitch, stole both second and third, and then scored on a throwing error for a one-all contest through three complete. The score remained that way until the top of the sixth as Tanner Smith provided a one-out double and advanced to third on a groundout by Tyler Bumgarner.
