Each year, 18.7 million Americans are directly harmed by crime each year, with crime affecting many more family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers. The proclamation not only recognized Victims Rights Week, but reaffirmed Meigs County’s commitment to respect and enforce victims’ rights and address their needs during Crime Victims’ Rights Week and throughout the year. “We express our appreciation for those victims and crime survivors who have turned personal tragedy into a motivating force to improve our response to victims of crime and build a more just community,” the proclamation stated. On Thursday evening, the Victims Rights Week Ceremony will be held at the Meigs County Courthouse. The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. on the third floor of the courthouse, with informational community resource brochures being handed out beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event will be funded by a grant through the Attorney General’s office. Meigs County was one of six counties in Ohio selected to receive funds in support of the observance of National Crime Victims Rights Week being observed this week. Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office recently announced that he is continuing his support of Ohio’s crime victims by awarding more See RIGHTS |‌ 5 Sarah Hawley/photo Several Meigs County officials took part in the signing of a proclamation for National Victims Rights Week.

Seven members of the Meigs Marauder Band directed by Toney Dingess qualified following a rigorous audition process where they demon- strated their skill in performance. The 84-piece band, composed of high school band members from 20 different Southeastern Ohio schools in District 17, presented a concert in Memorial Auditorium on the O.U. campus. The students qualifying for the honors band from Meigs High School were, from the left, front, Cassidy Hood and Jennifer Robinson, second row, Shawnella Patterson, Emma Perrin, and Carly Taylor; and back, Bobby Rice and Cody Brocket. Principal’s case bound over to grand jury Supporters, protesters make voices heard Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com POINT PLEASANT — Probable cause has been found in the case of a Point Pleasant Intermediate School principal accused of felony child abuse with the case now bound over to a grand jury after a contentious preliminary hearing Monday morning. Principal Cameron Moffett arrived at the Mason County Courthouse Monday morning for that preliminary hearing looking very calm and collected — very unlike the media image which has portrayed him as some sort of tyrant on a school bus. Moffett was greeted outside Mason County Magistrate Court to applause from staff from Mason County Schools which had showed up in force to show him support. However, also at the courthouse were family members and supporters of 11-year old student Zachary Plants. Plants was in the building but kept away from the commotion and out of view. Those permitted in Magistrate Court were limited See CASE ‌| 5 Beth Sergent/photos Principal Cameron Moffett (second from left) appears for his preliminary hearing on Monday before Mason County Magistrate Gail Roush with several of his supporters from Mason County Schools seated behind him. Roush found probable cause to send Moffett’s case on to circuit court for possible, further proceedings which will likely include his case being presented to a grand jury. Moffett was charged with felony child abuse earlier this month. POMEROY — Kickoff for Meigs County’s observance of the National Day of Prayer will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday with Christians circling the courthouse to pray for the wisdom of officials and the health of the county. “One Nation Under God” is the theme of the fiveday non-denominational observance which is being planned by a committee of representatives from many churches in the county with Brenda Barnhart as chairman. Immediately following the kickoff at the courthouse, reading of the scriptures will begin from the parking lot stage and continue to 10 p.m. On Monday, April 30, and Tuesday and Wednesday, May 1 and 2, Bible reading sessions will begin at 8 a.m. and continue to 10 a.m. by volunteers representing many churches of the county. Again this year, a prayer path is being developed along the riverfront walking path. The path will be marked with signs concerning issues and people for whom to pray. The signs will go up on April 29 and remain in place through May 3 when the observance officially closes. On the final day of the observance, the National Day of Prayer service will be held in front of the courthouse from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Hundreds of people from across the county have traditionally gathered to listen to the speakers, hear the music, pray and do a balloon launch. That will be followed by a parking lot gathering with prayers from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. by Meigs County pastors from a boat docked at the Pomeroy levee. It has been suggested by the committee that those attending the National Day of Prayer service on the courthouse steps bring a picnic lunch to eat on the parking lot before the prayer service begins. The finale of the day will be a NDP (National Day of Prayer) youth night at 7 p.m. at the Mulberry Community Center. This year’s theme “One Nation Under God” is based on Psalm 33:12 which is a reminder that “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” “The American people continue to be plagued with challenges that defy simple answers, and our hope lies in humbly seeking the Almighty’s guidance, protection and blessing, not only on National Day of Prayer, but throughout the year,” said the national chairman Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family founder, Dr. James Dobson. This the 61st annual observance of the National Day of Prayer. Federal funds available for clean-up from 2011 spring storm Meigs and Gallia counties eligible for grant funding Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com POMEROY — More funding has been allocated for work programs in Meigs and Gallia Counties conducted under the direction of the Department of Jobs and Family Services over the past several months. The U.S. Department of Labor this week awarded a $7,733,360 National Emergency grant that will continue funding approximately 700 temporary jobs for eligible dislocated workers in 15 counties to assist with ongoing cleanup and recovery efforts following the severe storms and floods that struck southeastern Ohio between April 4 and May 15, 2011. Other counties in addition to Meigs and Gallia which will benefit from the new funding are Athens, Belmont, Guernsey, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Monroe, Morgan, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington. “Southeastern Ohioans are still recovering from the damage inflicted by the severe storms and floods of the spring of 2011,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “The additional federal funding announced today will provide much needed assistance so residents can rebuild their lives and communities and, at the same time, offer jobs to those in need of employment.” The counties being served under this grant are among those that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared eligible for its Public Assistance Program on July 13, 2011. A National Emergency Grant was awarded on Aug. 8, 2011, for up to $16,233,360, with See FUNDS |‌ 5 �Tuesday, April 24, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Valley Forecast Meigs County Community Calendar Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 58.

Ask Dr. Brothers Job interviews never work out Dr. Joyce Brothers Dear Dr. Brothers: I’ve spent hours rehearsing answers to questions I might get at job interviews, but the actual interviews always seem to go poorly. I have a rather spotty work history due to the economy, so I try to show my great personality and tons of energy. I try to be memorable by adding lots of details, and I always make sure to answer all questions thoroughly. I make steady eye contact and try to compliment the HR person. They seem to remember me when I call back, but they never hire me. Advice? — B.R. Dear B.R.: It seems you have been putting a good deal of effort into making your job interviews work, and your drive and determination probably are quite evident. But it sounds like much of your efforts have been misdirected. I understand that you are a bit nervous about the weakness of your resume and work history. But trying to make up for it with a dog-and-pony show each time you have an opportunity to impress someone in a hiring position is not working for you. So why not take of you.

And your friend probably is only trying to help you have closure, not judging you for failing to come see them. That said, there also is a case to be made for facing this difficult task. People talk about closure being important for a reason: You often do find it easier to move on if you can work through a ritual of saying goodbye while there is still time. You could wait and track them down after they are adopted, but seeing them with strangers might be even more difficult for you. As you go through life, there may be important opportunities to step up and be brave when faced with all sorts of sad occasions — pet or human — and I think you would find a lot of inner peace knowing you were not helpless when it came time to rise to the occasion. Please give that some thought.

Powell, a 2011 graduate of Meigs High School, recently completed 12 weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S. C. designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally. Powell and fellow recruits began their training at 5 a. m., by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program, Powell spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training. They performed close order drill and operated as a small infantry unit during field training. Powell and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps’ core values — honor, courage and commitment, and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. Powell and fellow recruits ended the training phase with The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evolution culminating in an emotional ceremony in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem, and addressed as “Marines” for the first time in their careers.

Neighborhood watch shooter released from Fla. jail MIAMI (AP) — In a low-key event, George Zimmerman was released from a Florida jail in the middle of the night on $150,000 bail as he awaits his seconddegree murder trial in the fatal shooting of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. The neighborhood watch volunteer was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans and carrying a paper bag as he walked out of the Seminole County jail around midnight Sunday. He was following another man and didn’t look at photographers gathered outside. The two then got into a white BMW and drove away. Zimmerman did not speak as he left the suburban Orlando jail. His ultimate destination is being kept secret for his safety. He could leave Florida. Martin’s parents have a “heavy heart” now that Zimmerman has been released from jail, said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the 17-year-old’s parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton. “They hope his freedom is temporary because the pain he has caused this family is permanent,” Crump said Monday. As with the July 2011 release of Casey Anthony, the Florida woman acquitted of murder in the death of her young daughter, Zimmerman was released around midnight. But the similarities end there. Anthony was quickly whisked away by deputy sheriffs armed with rifles as angry protesters jeered her. While news helicopters briefly tracked her SUV through Orlando before she slipped from public view, there was no such pursuit of Zimmerman, who will have to return for trial. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said at a hearing Friday that Zimmerman cannot have any guns and must observe a 7 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew. Zimmerman also surrendered his passport. Zimmerman had to put up 10 percent, or $15,000, to make bail. His father had indicated he might take out a second mortgage. Zimmerman worked at a mortgage risk-management company at the time of the shooting, and his wife is in nursing school. A website was set up to collect donations for Zimmerman’s defense. It is unclear how much has been raised. Bail is not unheard of in second-degree murder cases, and legal experts had predicted it would be granted for Zimmerman because of his ties to the community, because he turned himself in after he was charged last week, and because he has never been convicted of a serious crime. Prosecutors had asked for $1 million bail, citing two previous scrapes Zimmerman had with the law, neither of which resulted in charges. In 2005, he had to take anger management courses after he was accused of attacking an undercover officer who was trying to arrest Zimmerman’s friend. In another incident, a girlfriend accused him of attacking her. Speaking Monday on “CBS This Morning,” Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, said Zimmerman would not have apologized to the Martin family during Friday’s bond hearing if O’Mara had known the family felt it was the wrong time. Zimmerman told the family he was sorry for the loss of their son, an apology spurned by an attorney for Martin’s family. O’Mara said Monday the apology wouldn’t have happened if he’d known the family felt the timing was wrong. O’Mara said Zimmerman simply wanted to reach out to the family. Zimmerman, 28, fatally shot Martin Feb. 26 inside the gated community where Zimmerman lived. Martin was unarmed and was walking back to the home of his father’s fiance when Zimmerman saw him, called 911 and began following him. A fight broke out — investigators say it is unknown who started it. Zimmerman says Martin, who was visiting from Miami, attacked him. Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense, citing Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which gives broad legal protection to anyone who says they used deadly force because they feared death or great bodily harm. Zimmerman was not charged for more than six weeks, sparking national protests led by Martin’s parents, civil rights groups, and the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Martin was black; Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is from Peru. Residents in Sanford hadn’t been expecting a ruckus once Zimmerman was released. City commissioners said they hadn’t received calls from nervous residents. Protesters didn’t show up outside the jail. And talk at one local coffee shop seldom focused on the case. “It’s just kind of a nonissue now,” said Michele Church, a server at Mel’s Family Diner. “That’s pretty much all anybody in Sanford wanted, was an arrest, so it could be sorted out in the court system.” Zimmerman was fitted with an electronic device when he was released Sunday, according to a statement from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. That would allow law enforcement to monitor him if he leaves the state. Defense attorneys for other high-profile clients who awaited trial on bail have said Zimmerman should leave Florida and refrain from going out in public. About a half-dozen photographers and cameramen camped outside the Sanford jail Sunday, focused on the door marked “Bonds Rooms,” where other people who had been arrested and released on bail exited. Sanford Commissioner Patty Mahany, whose district includes the neighborhood where Martin was killed, said Sunday that things had calmed down. “I think now that people are able to see the justice system taking place, even though they understand it’s going to be quite slow, people are willing to just remain calm and really we’re all getting back to our daily routines,” Mahany said. Meanwhile, Martin’s parents published a “Card of Thanks” in The Miami Herald obituary page Sunday. The note says Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin express their appreciation for all the public’s support since their son’s death. The notice includes a photograph of Trayvon Martin dressed in a hooded sweatshirt, similar to one he was wearing the evening he was killed. “Words will never express how your love, support and prayers lifted our spirits and continue to give us the strength to march on,” the letter says.

But does it? If so, how does one explain the fact that the major military powers of the past century — the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and China — have been almost constantly at war during that time? What is the explanation for the fact that the United States — today’s military giant — is currently engaged in at least two wars (in Iraq and Afghanistan) and appears to be on the verge of a third (with Iran)? Perhaps the maintenance of a vast military machine does not prevent war but, instead, encourages it. In short, huge military establishments can be quite counterproductive. Little wonder that they have been condemned repeatedly by great religious and ethical leaders. Even many government officials have decried war and preparations for war — although usually by nations other than their own. Thus, the release of the new study by SIPRI should not be a cause for celebration. Rather, it provides an appropriate occasion to contemplate the fact that, this past year, nations spent more money on the military than at any time in human history. Although this situation might still inspire joy in the hearts of government officials, top military officers, and defense contractors, people farther from the levers of military power might well conclude that it’s a hell of a way to run a world.

Page 4 Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Letters to the editor Graduate reflects on PHS in the 50s Rain drops from the overcast skies emptied their contents on our roof. The pit-patpitty-pat-pat lazied my mind. Who wants to get up now? Because of stitches down both hips from replacement surgery, I couldn’t roll over to hug my pillow on this Sunday morning. Retirement is good. I reached for my laptop and keyed in “When You Walk Through a Storm”. As the bedroom filled with the music, my mind raced back to Swackhammer, Husted and Ward. Those attending Pomeroy High School in the 1950s would remember these three teachers. Mrs. Swackhammer’s choir/chorus met after school in a second-story back-side room of Pomeroy Junior High. “E-nun-see-ate each word and I want to hear the ending on words.” May of 1954 I and other members of the choir stood on the risers facing the audience and sang, ta-tata-ta-tum, “God of our Fathers….” as graduates marched toward the stage. Then in 1958 I along with the graduate class walked to the same beat but sung by new voices. Mrs. Swackhammer nurtured my love of music to the extent I continue to hum or beller “When You Walk Through a Storm” and “I Talked to God Last Night.” I also compose my own melodies. Nothing like the ones Larry Tracy scored on his graphs, but none the less beautiful to my ears. Ms. Husted encouraged her students in many ways in English class. One assignment was to write a humorous piece. Faye Thomas and I sat on stools in Stark’s Soda Fountain. While we slurped Cokes we wrestled with words until we were satisfied. Whatever Ms. Husted said about my paper, she heated the ember for writing to a flame. Today I have awards and published articles and stories. Forest Ward, Senior Homeroom teacher in 195758, often chatted with me at lunch time as we were the only ones in the room. One day he asked, “Do you have a boy friend?” I nodded but didn’t give a name “because if I tell you it might spoil what is developing.” Sly Mr. Ward probably already observed Ron Russell and Anna Murray “eyeing” each other. We still do, 54 years later. In my cozy bedroom I snuggled back into the covers and silently thanked Lucile Swackhammer, Martha Husted and Forest Ward for their input into my life. Anna L. Russell Tyler, Texas 1954 PHS graduate Women deserve factual medical information, even about abortion care Dr. Gabrielle Goodrick Decisions about medical procedures and patient care should be left to clinicians and their patients — not to politicians. As a family physician, I understand this, and my goal is to provide each patient the individual time and attention they need to make the decision that is right for them. Women deserve complete, accurate information about their health care. In my practice, I ensure that women receive the counseling and education that is relevant to their care, and document medical informed consent to show that the patient’s decision is voluntary and informed. Patients’ informed consent laws were developed by public health officials to make sure that people understand the medical treatments they receive. Unfortunately, under the guise of caring about women’s health, abortion opponents in my state of Arizona have pushed our governor and legislators to mandate onerous requirements before a woman can terminate a pregnancy. Their version of medical information is based on ideology, not medical facts. A central premise of their efforts is a false assertion that abortion care is dangerous. In fact, abortion care is one of the safest and most commonly provided medical procedures in the United States. Less than 0.3% of abortion patients experience a complication that requires hospitalization. The overall safety of abortion care is supported by a recent study by Dr. David Grimes and Dr. Elizabeth Raymond, released last month in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This careful and comprehensive analysis was based on the most recent U.S. national data and a review of research from 1998 to 2005. The data show that pregnancy-related complications and illness are much more common in women who choose childbirth, compared to those who choose abortion care. Every complication studied was more common among women having live births than among those choosing abortion care. Despite what the medicine shows, groups opposed to abortion care and to contraception have distorted medical informed consent policy to misinform women about the potential risks of abortion care. State policies like those that our legislators have been debating present medical findings in a way that is either misleading or patently wrong. The bottom line: State policies undermine women’s health and decision-making if they do not give women a true portrayal of the medical information they need for the situation they are in. Every woman deserves factual medical information whenever she is facing a decision about her pregnancy. We must make sure the information she gets provides the truth about her medical care. It is not right for our elected officials to take away my ability to provide the safe, high-quality evidence-based medicine that women need and deserve.

Other recipients are Stark County Prosecutor’s Office, Victim/Witness Division, $2,000; Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, Cuyahoga County, $2,000; The Ohio Hispanic Coalition, Franklin County, $1,900; Warren County Prosecutor’s Office, $1,990; and Preble County Victim/Witness, $1,050 The grants are to be used to help fund spe- cial awareness programs to honor crime victims and their families during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. Last year, DeWine awarded these victim advocate groups, along with dozens of others, more than $17.5 million in state and federal funding as part of the State Victims Assistance Act and federal Victims of Crime Act coordinated by the Crime Victim section of the Attorney General’s Office. DeWine is also hosting the “Two Days in May” conference on victim assistance on May 10 and 11 in Columbus.

Immediately after the hearing, Lees spoke to the press saying Moffett should’ve handled the situation exactly how he handled it. Lees also said he believes the background of the child “is relevant in this case, but this magistrate didn’t rule that way.” Outside, after the ruling, supporters of the Plants family stood on the corner of Sixth and Viand Streets with signs. One of these supporters was Plants’ aunt, Bethany Vance, who said the family was pleased with the ruling and that, “he’s (Zachary) a good boy … he doesn’t deserve this.” Once the courthouse had cleared, Zachary was led across the parking lot, a jacket over his face with family flanking him until he was placed in a pickup truck, ending another day in a series of days which has seemed to divide an entire community. Case From Page 1 to witnesses, family, media and counsel. While in the smaller magistrate courtroom, Moffett was served by a representative of the Plants’ family attorney, presumably regarding the civil suit which has been filed against Moffett and Mason County Schools in U.S. District Court. The representative indicated he was also in town to serve Mason County Schools Superintendent Suzanne Dickens though Dickens did not appear to be at the hearing, at least not in the magistrate courtroom. With well over 100 people showing up for the proceedings, Mason County Magistrate Gail Roush made the decision to move the hearing into the much larger accommodations of the circuit court courtroom. After concerns over the recording system were worked out and after running everyone in the substantial crowd through the metal detector, the preliminary hearing finally got under way with Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Sherry Eling bringing out her first witness. Jamie Cochran, the bus driver who was assigned to the bus on which the incident took place, took the stand. Eling asked if Cochran had seen the video of the incident to which Cochran said she’d seen the whole video in its entirety shortly before taking the stand, adding she had previously seen edited versions of the video on the Internet. Eling then asked if the video represented the events as she remembered them that day to which Cochran said yes. Eling then played the video in the courtroom which got a visible, visceral reaction from the boy’s family with many breaking down in tears. When questioned further about the incident, Cochran agreed with Eling that it appeared Moffett did roll Plants, who was described as throwing a “fit” at this time, down the aisle but Cochran also said he did not roll the boy off the bus, saying she saw Plants walk off the bus under his own power and was not pushed or shoved by Moffett. Jim Lees, attorney for Moffett, asked Cochran if the student had been asked multiple times to move from his seat on the bus and refused. Cochran said he had, but she didn’t know why he didn’t want to move and when asked about the student’s history, Cochran said she had no prior knowledge of it. At this point, Eling objected to Lees’ attempts to bring up the student’s history with Magistrate Roush sustaining her argument. This ruling caused an audible grumble from some in the courtroom with Magistrate Roush momentarily halting the hearing to restore order. Cochran said once Plants was off the bus, she witnessed Moffett restraining the upset boy on the ground. Lees then asked Cochran if she would agree this whole situation which occurred outside the bus lasted around 20-30 seconds in length — she agreed. Lees further asked if she saw Moffett do anything to intentionally harm the student, such as pushing, shoving or striking, to which Cochran said no. Eling then followed up with Cochran, going to what she felt was a relevant point in the video — the point where Moffett actually physically touches Plants and therefore, as Eling argued, establishes Plants was moved from a seat and into the aisle because Moffett physically put him there. At this point, the prosecution rested with Lees bringing out his first witness — Elizabeth Kapp, a fifth grade teacher at PPIS. Kapp was on the bus that day with Cochran, preparing the students to depart for an event at the National Guard Armory. Kapp’s bus was apparently one of four loaded with students who were all waiting on the order to depart. Kapp said while getting ready to depart, both she and Cochran tried to convince Plants to move without success. Kapp said Plants was allowed to bring his MP3 player with him and that apparently a piece had fallen off the player. She added he appeared “agitated” and “frustrated” and did not acknowledge her as she was speaking to him. When asked by Eling if other students had shoved Plants out of his seat, indicating this was perhaps a reason for his agitation, Kapp said she didn’t see it. Kapp said when both she and the bus driver could not get Plants to obey, the protocol was to call for the principal. The video Eling played shows Moffett did get on the bus, asked Plants to come to him twice but with no success. Moffett then went to talk to Plants, with Kapp saying she did not know what was said between Moffett and Plants at that time. Kapp said when Moffett asked her to clear the bus of the students in front of he and Plants, she did and was standing outside the bus when Plants and Moffett later appeared. Lees earlier argued Moffett cleared the front of the bus to protect the other students. Kapp says she witnessed Plants walk out of the bus on his own and then throw himself on the ground into a fit. Kapp said, in her opinion, Moffett then restrained Plants to keep him from injuring himself. Lees asked Kapp about the 20-30 seconds of Moffett restraining Plants and if Plants calmed down. Kapp agreed on Lees’ timeframe and that Plants did calm down. Lees then called Annettee Cook, another teacher at PPIS who was standing outside the bus Moffett and Plants exited on that day. Cook said she saw Plants walk off the bus first and on his own. Cook said he continued to walk further and then dropped himself to the ground, kicking and screaming. She said she didn’t see what happened after that because she’d gotten onto her bus with her kids to supervise them at the time. Lees asked if she’d given her statement to the Point Pleasant Police Department which is investigating the case to which she replied she did. However, Cook accused the department of dismissing her statement and questioning what she said she saw. During closing arguments, Lees said the statute for felony child abuse in West Virginia says physical injury must have been shown by other than accidental means — arguing the state had no evidence to support this charge. Eling disagreed saying Lees was not interpreting the statute correctly, arguing that it applies to any person who abuses a child or creates a substantial risk of bodily injury. Also during a contentious closing, Lees was upset he could not get into the child’s background who he often referred to as “unruly,” asking whether or final increment completes the total funds awarded.

Lees then asked if teachers now had to call 9-1-1 or other law enforcement to get an “unruly” child off the bus. “There has to be physical injury and intent,” Lees argued, saying those two crucial elements were not present in this case.

Thanks for asking,” he said this week during Ohio State’s last few days of spring workouts. “No, we’re fine. That’s kind of old news.” Then, turning to more pressing issues, he quickly added, “We just have to get our skill a little bit better here and we’ll be ready to go.” In other words, personnel considerations take precedence over the coach’s stress level. The dire need to find game-changing players is more important than the hours spent at his office in the Woody Hayes football facility. Meyer says everything is OK with him a few months into his first year as the head coach of the Buckeyes. He had left his job in Florida in December of 2010 saying that health and family reasons forced him to step aside. A year spent as a tele- vision analyst only caused him to pine for a return to the sidelines. Before taking the job at Ohio State — which came about after Jim Tressel was forced to resign for covering up his knowledge that his players had broken NCAA rules — Meyer’s family made him promise to not overdo it, to not suffer physically from the pressure and long hours. They said he needed to take it easy. He said he would. Yet others close to him think Meyer hasn’t changed a whole lot. “I’ll tell you what, Urban Meyer is the same Urban Meyer as far as Xs and Os, as far as intensity on the football field,” said Ohio State running backs coach Stan Drayton, who was also on his Gators staff. “He’s in a better place right now spiritually.

The Gallia Academy baseball team remained unbeaten in league play Friday night during a convincing 12-4 decision over host Chillicothe in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup in Ross County. The Blue Devils (16-5, 9-0 SEOAL) pounded out 16 hits and led 6-2 through three complete en route to picking up their 11th straight league victory. GAHS — the outright champions of the SEOAL crown both last year and this spring — also held off a late rally by the Cavaliers (8-9, 3-6) by scoring the final six runs of the contest. The Blue Devils — who committed only one error in the triumph — claimed a season sweep with fi- nal outcome. Gallia Academy won an 11-1 decision over CHS back on April 9 in Centenary. GAHS also goes for league perfection Wednesday when it takes on visiting Portsmouth in the SEOAL finale. Gallia Academy led 2-0 after an inning and was also ahead 4-2 through two complete, then the guests added two scores in the third for a 6-2 cushion through three full frames. CHS managed a pair of scores in the fourth to pull back to within 6-4 through four, but the hosts never came closer the rest of the way. After a scoreless fifth, the Blue Devils reeled off three runs in each of their final two at-bats — allowing the guests to secure an eight-run advantage headed into the finale. With two outs and a man on in the seventh, reliever Brandon Taylor picked off Corey Wagner to end the game. Jimmy Clagg was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four runs (three earned), four hits and six walks over four innings while striking out four. Taylor allowed just three hits and a walk over three frames while fanning one. Bonar took the loss for Chillicothe. Ty Warnimont, Drew Young and Bobby Dunlap all paced GAHS with three hits apiece, followed by John Faro with two safeties. Clagg, Taylor, Justin Bailey, Gus Graham and Bryant Bokovitz also had a hit each for the victors. Dunlap drove in three RBIs, while Warnimont scored a team-high three runs. Wagner, Jalen Mischal and Derek Milliken each had two hits for the Cavs. McGuire drove in two RBIs and Wagner scored twice in the setback. The Cavaliers committed four errors and managed seven hits in the setback. Eastern tames Wildcats, 12-1 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern baseball team struck out 12 Hannan batters Saturday en route to a 12-1 victory over the Wildcats in Meigs County. Eastern (9-7) jumped out to a big lead right off the bat scoring 10 runs on seven hits, three errors, a base on balls, and a hit batter in the first inning. Hannan (3-6) broke onto the score board for the first time in the top of the second frame with one run in the inning. The Eagles manufactured a run in the bottom of the second and led 111. EHS added a run in the bottom of the third after a pair of extra-base hits. Hannan failed to battle back and Eastern took the 12-1 non-league victory. Jacob Brannon earned the win for EHS after giving up just one run on one hits and a base on balls. Brannon struck out 12 in five innings of work. Jarad Lunsford was credited with the loss after giving up 12 runs on 10 hits, three walks, and three hit batters. Lunsford struck out two in four innings of work. Max Carnahan, Ethan Nottingham, and Brandon Coleman each finished with two hits in the contest, including triples by Carnahan and Nottingham. Christian Amsbary, Jacob Parker, Josh Shook, and David Warner each finished with one hit. Carnahan, Shook, Amsbary, and Nottingham each scored two runs in the contest while Carnahan, Coleman, Parker, and Warner each had two RBI. Chris Strausbaugh had the lone hit for Hannan.

Judging from the reaction of fans, he’s also found another home. Meyer was almost crushed by those who rushed toward him for pictures and autographs a week ago when he invited around 3,000 students to get a close-up look at practice. It’s been an interesting spring for Meyer, a native of Ashtabula, Ohio, and the Buckeyes. Almost before he started, he caught heat from around the Big Ten for continuing to recruit players who had already offered verbal commitments to other conference schools. Those skirmishes faded, but there are still some lingering hard feelings. Still, the Buckeyes pulled in a bumper crop of top recruits. That was the first step in reconstructing a program that is coming off a 6-7 season and enters the 2012 season with a four-game losing skid. Almost everyone observing an Ohio State practice this spring has remarked about the intensity of the workouts. Every play, every drill — even calisthenics — is a win-lose proposition. Meyer has rewarded sprint winners with ice-cold Gatorade while the losers drink from an old garden hose. Scrimmage winners get good food on nice tablecloths while the losers eat cold-meat sandwiches off by themselves. He has also assembled a coaching staff to implement his fast-paced offense. “He’s laid the philosophical groundwork for what he wants and what his expectations are and then he hands it over for us to be the engineers to put it together,” offensive co-coordinator Ed Warinner said. “So, he’s the design-and-planning team. It’s our job to build and put it together and make it work so that it’s strong and makes sense and will hold Mature Services Employment &up.” Training Solutions is recruithis responsibiliingDespite unemployed workers in Gallia and Meigs ties, Meyer does Counties distance who are age 55 and older himself from the job from looking for a job and interested time time. job training for in paidtoon-the issue tofor 16 “The hours a biggest week assigned a not-for profit probably local organization. him was turning it off,” Smith said. “That’s obviously the biggest thing he’s done differently.” On the day in November when he took the Ohio State job, Meyer didn’t exactly sound as if he’d embrace a lot of change in his approach to coaching. “I will be the same guy that (I was at) the beginning of the tenure (at Florida),” he said. “And that was a guy that did have balance, a guy that took care of himself, a guy that did not try to get involved and change everything. I think as it rolled on, we were dealing with magical things there. I call it the pursuit of perfection. I think at the end of the day we all know there’s no such thing. I fell victim to that. And so I’ve been to a place I’m not going to go back.” Meyer became a head coach in 2001 at Bowling Green. Those were heady days when he spent long hours trying to build something that he’s added to over the years. Drayton was with him on that staff, too. More than anyone outside of his immediate family, he’s seen the subtle changes over the years. “Where you see the difference now is he’s able to trust his coaches and delegate some of that stuff that he had on his plate,” he said. “The intensity is still there, and the demand is still there, but now that he’s delegated some of those responsibilities and trust in his support staff that much more, it’s just going to be better for him.” returned their forms, but no preliminary tests will be conducted on athletes that have not returned their paperwork.

But when it’s time to get away, I think he gets away.” One place Meyer, who is paid $4 million a year, can get away is his new home.

If you feel unfulfilled or insecure, look to an unused talent or asset you possess. This trait might need to be developed, and the result could delight you. Learn to convey your caring in an appropriate manner that the listener can hear and accept. If you are single, use good sense as to how much you’ll share before getting to know a potential sweetie. If you are attached, curb your criticism and increase your appreciation. Accept your significant other as he or she is. GEMINI knows how to spend your money; however, do not count on his or her moneymaking abilities! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Take a serious look at your talents and potential. Use these abilities rather than put them on the back burner. Do not hesitate to get feedback from respected authorities; listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Impulsiveness could set in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your insight tosses plans into the blender once more. You know what works and what doesn’t. Regroup and help others make better decisions. Sharing good will and helpful information will create a stronger bond between you and a friend. Tonight: Share more of yourself, including a favorite pastime. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Sudden actions from others demonstrate that certain people are not sharing as much as you thought. Recognize that other factors determine their choices. Express interest in their selections in a nonoffensive manner. Tonight: You are the action. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Listen to news, even if you are uncomfortable with what you are hearing. Try not to be in denial, because ultimately you’ll only hurt yourself. Test out your observations and sensitivities on a trusted friend at a later point during the day. Tonight: Do what feels good. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH New ideas cause you to adjust your plans or a project. You’ll gain a lot of insight if you remain open to this information. You might not encourage change, but ultimately the end results will be better if you let it happen. An associate or friend supports your desires. Tonight: Where you most want to be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Take a stand if a partner or close associate continues his or her pattern of wreaking havoc in your life. Though you cannot change this person, you can establish stronger boundaries. Do just that, if need be. A parent, boss or other respected individual admires your strength. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You cannot risk myopic vision. Step back to gain a better and more complete perspective. Avoid nitpicking over details right now. A call from a friend at a distance could bring some very special news. Tonight: Choose a mind-relaxing activity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your ability to relate directly and with clarity emerges. A person who you often see acts in an unusual manner. Perhaps you need to accept that behavior. You might not like the muck that you could land in otherwise. Tonight: Special time with a special person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Rather than make a decision, sit back on your haunches and relax. Observe more. Others will make the first move, which allows greater possibilities and adds a new dimension to your one-on-one relating. Tonight: Be among friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Accomplish as much as you can. You might need to block a personal situation or detach temporarily in order to clear up other more urgent matters. Someone has good intentions, but his or her actions and/or thoughts could interfere with your agenda. Tonight: Lose your stress. Hop into a hot tub or go to the gym. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your creativity allows you to be more whimsical than many other people. You gain understanding and are able to convey a more complete vision to listeners. Be discreet as to how much you reveal to one key person. Tonight: As if there is no tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Remain centered, even if it means not answering calls. You have much to do and do not need any distractions. A situation suddenly could take on another perspective, and yet another. Go with the flow with this matter rather than interfere. Tonight: You do not need to go far. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. �Tuesday, April 24, 2012 SWITCH TO NATIONWIDE® AND SAVE.
