Dog tags, kennel
license deadlines
extended to Feb. 14
Staff Report

POMEROY — The deadline to purchase dog
tags and kennel licenses for 2018 has been extended to Feb. 14.
The law requires that all dogs be licensed.
Section 955.01 of the Ohio Revised Code states
that every person who owns, keeps or harbors
a dog more than three months of age, shall
purchase a license for that dog before the 31st
day of January of each year. During their recent
meeting, the Meigs County Commissioners
approved extending that deadline to Feb. 14 for
this year.
Dog owners have the option to purchase a
one year, three year or permanent tag for their
dog. The one year dog tag will be $12 and is
valid for the calendar year in which it is issued
(2018). The State of Ohio has passed a new code
for County Auditor’s to provide dog owners the
option of purchasing a dog tag that will be valid
for three years as well as the option to purchase
a permanent tag for your dog. The cost of the 3
year tag will be $36 and $120 for the permanent
tag.
Kennel licenses will also be available for a person, partnership, ﬁrm, company, or corporation
professionally engaged in the business of breeding
dogs for sale. The cost of a kennel license will be
$60 and that will include ﬁve tags. Additional kennel tags can be purchased for $1 each.
If you wish to purchase your tags by mail, a
printable application is available for both kennel
license and individual dog license on the Auditor’s
website at www.meigscountyauditor.org. When
submitting your license by mail, please include a
self addressed stamped envelope along with your
application and payment made payable to the
Meigs County Auditor.
Licenses may be purchased Monday thru Friday
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Meigs County Auditor’s Ofﬁce which is located on the second ﬂoor of
the Meigs County Courthouse. Current year tags
and kennel tags may also be purchased from the
Meigs County Dog Warden.
Please contact the Meigs County Auditor’s
Ofﬁce at 992-2698 if you have any questions
regarding the purchase of the 2018 Dog License.

By Erin Perkins
eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com

RUTLAND — A

from The Coalition
of Rural Appalachian
Schools (CORAS).
Darla Kennedy, MPS
Title One teacher and
Guided Reading Mentor,
was honored with the
2018 Outstanding Teacher Award distributed by
CORAS on Jan. 24 at
the Zanesville campus of
Ohio University. CORAS
has a 28-year tradition of
advocating and supporting public schools across
the Appalachian region

of Ohio and recognizing
outstanding teachers is
a way to continue the
tradition. Kennedy said
the speakers of the night
were Dr. Renee Middleton, Dean of The Patton
College of Education
at Ohio University and
Paolo DeMaria, Superintendent of Public Instruction at the Ohio Department of Education.
Kennedy said she has
been teaching for 29
years. She shared that
she taught ﬁrst grade for
24 years and is currently
completing her ﬁfth year
as a primary school title
one teacher and guided
reading mentor.
Kennedy stated,

“Receiving this award
has made me reﬂect upon
my 29 years of teaching
the children of this area.
I have been very blessed
to work with the children, families, coworkers, and administrators
of Meigs Local Schools.
Many people have played
such an important role
in this journey, so they
all deserve a part of this
award.”
CORAS Representatives said Kennedy has
been instrumental in
providing a balanced
literacy approach at
the primary school and
voluntarily took on the
role of a guided reading
mentor to ensure all staff

members receive training on the best practices
for reading strategies.
They stated Kennedy has
distinguished herself as
a professional who gives
her time and talent to
support and educate the
students of Meigs Local
School District.
“I am also thankful for
the support and encouragement of my principal,
Mrs. Kristin Baer, and
my coworkers at Meigs
Primary School,” said
Kennedy.
Baer nominated Kennedy for the CORAS
2018 Outstanding Teacher Award.

RIO GRANDE —
The University of Rio
Grande’s Emerson E.
Evans School of Business is offering Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance
(VITA) through the
accounting program.
The VITA program
offers free tax preparation help to low-income
taxpayers. Students
studying accounting at
Rio have volunteered to
assist the community by
becoming IRS-certiﬁed
to offer tax counseling.
Accounting instructor
Mary Lefﬂer said this
is a unique opportunity
for the students to turn
what they learn in the
classroom into real
world experience while
providing tax preparation services to the community.
“This is a community
service, and a big part
of education here at Rio
emphasizes service to
our community. We are
offering free tax assistance with our students
who are ofﬁcially tested
and certiﬁed through
the IRS VITA basic tax
training program,” Lefﬂer said. “It feels good to
work for the community,
so our students are very
excited for this program.
We treat this as though
they are working for a
professional accounting ﬁrm, giving them
real world experience in
accounting and customer
service skills. This is also
a great opportunity for
the community to see
what we do here in the
School of Business and
watch our students put
what they learn in the
classroom into practice.”
To qualify for VITA,
the taxpayer must have
an income of $54,000 or
less. The site will only

THEIR VIEW

Getting the

If you’d told one of my grandparents, “What I
really want from a job is relevance, ﬂexibility and
autonomy,” they wouldn’t have thought, “Let’s
help her get some guidance from a professional
counselor or a career coach.” They’d have made
a sign of the cross, then sent for a
priest and demanded an exorcist.

in their native tongues — and certainly wouldn’t have applied to any
requirements they had for employment.
My grandparents did shift work. Always carefully pronounced, it was usually miserable. These
unpleasant jobs were, not coincidentally, the most
poorly paid.
But paid they were, and that was all anybody
expected. Their children, a few rungs up the
social ladder, learned to expect more. Not much,
but some.
Neither of my parents graduated from high
school, but they had better jobs than their parIf you don’t have

always hoped my brother
and I would be able to have the kind of jobs
where you showered before you went to work.
And both of us do — now. It took a few years.
The next generation of our particular tribe
seems, knock wood, to be OK. If they’re running,
it’s not from the cops, but in marathons. If they’re
sleeping outside, it’s in a tent and on purpose.
But I worry. I worry about kids I know who
have dropped out of school and who do actually
need workplace counselors because they have
no clue how to be self-sufﬁcient. They need to
learn how to keep a job by showing up on time
— sober — and accepting responsibility for their
actions. I worry about friends in the community
who, like my grandparents, have no option but to
accept minimum-wage positions without beneﬁts
and are haunted by the constant threat of unemployment.
In even more practical terms, what were once
called “fringe” beneﬁts have increasingly become
the very reason to get a job in the ﬁrst place.
With the idea of universal health care being
gutted, if you don’t have health insurance through
your employers, you’ll be performing your own
appendectomy with toothpicks, bendy straws and
cosmetic sponges.
If you don’t have a retirement plan through
your company or institution, you might end up
spending your golden years playing the penny
slots. After all, casinos are now America’s version
of elder care.
And unthinkable, perhaps, as it would have
been to my grandparents or to most human
beings currently on the planet, the most privileged of us expect far more than a paycheck from
our jobs.
These hopes include but are not limited to: 1.
Wanting a creative job that can be worked either
from home or in a space equipped with ergonomically designed furniture featuring ample light and
stimulating colleagues; 2. Searching for a way
to change the world for the better through the
combined talents of a group of highly motivated,
intellectually gifted and passionate individuals
and 3. Relying on free parking, free coffee and
free school supplies for everyone you’ve ever met
since you have access to the supply cabinet.
But what most of us want is fair compensation and a chance to use our skills, engage our
talents and develop the best of our imaginative
resources.
We want to show up and be recognized. We
want to be treated with dignity and offered
respect for what we do, whether it’s waiting
tables, selling cars or working for the FBI.
If you’ve never done the job, you probably have
no idea how hard is. I don’t care whether it’s
washing ﬂoors or being Senate majority leader,
the person who works hard, especially if it means
cleaning up after others, deserves credit.
Work, like love, should never be taken lightly.
Done well, it will involve long-term commitment,
and at its best, it’s a gift. And sometimes, when
you’re really lucky, there will be coffee.

THEIR VIEW

Why FISA-gate is scarier than Watergate
The Watergate scandal
of 1972-74 was uncovered largely because of
outraged Democratic
politicians and a bulldog media. They both
claimed that they had
saved American democracy from the Nixon
administration’s attempt
to warp the CIA and FBI
to cover up an otherwise
minor, though illegal,
political break-in.
In the Iran-Contra
affair of 1985-87, the
media and liberal activists uncovered wrongdoing by some rogue members of the Reagan government. They warned
of government overreach
and of using the “Deep
State” to subvert the law
for political purposes.
We are now in the
midst of a third great
modern scandal. Members of the Obama
administration’s Department of Justice sought
court approval for the
surveillance of Carter
Page, allegedly for colluding with Russian
interests, and extended
the surveillance three
times.
But none of these

Because our defense

— is defending such

excusing, not airing, the
excesses of the DOJ and

Apparently, weaponizing government agencies

considered a crime.

ATHENS — Ohio University President M. Duane

CEO of The Ohio University
Foundation.
Karagosian, who has more
than 20 years of experience
and comes to Ohio University most recently from the
University of Cincinnati, will
ofﬁcially join the Advancement team on March 19.
“What I value most from
my interactions with Nico

that focuses on the academic

stewardship, special events
and presidential initiatives
for the foundation. He has
additional experience working in higher education
development at the University of South Florida and

charitable giving within the
private sector.
“I am thrilled to be joining the outstanding team at
Ohio as we work to develop
and strengthen our philanthropy and alumni engagement efforts,” Karagosian
said. “Ohio University has
an amazing combination of a
storied history and remarkable future. I was immediately impressed by the
passion and commitment

Spartans outlast Meigs, 57-50
By Bryan Walters

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports

Meigs sophomore Austin Mahr (23) leaps for a rebound during
the first half of Tuesday night’s TVC Ohio boys basketball
contest against Alexander in Rocksprings, Ohio.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The
effort was clearly there. The desired
result, however, was not.
The Meigs boys basketball team
came up short on a game-tying
attempt with 15 seconds left in
regulation, and visiting Alexander
converted four free throws over
the ﬁnal dozen seconds to secure a
57-50 decision in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contest at
Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in
Meigs County.
The Marauders (7-12, 4-7 TVC
Ohio) had their season-best threegame winning streak come to an

end as the hosts built a 26-25 halftime advantage, but the Spartans
(10-7, 7-3) rallied with a 16-10 third
quarter run that ultimately provided
a permanent lead over the ﬁnal
12:28 of regulation.
Leading 41-36 headed into the
ﬁnale, AHS opened the fourth period with an 11-7 run that gave the
guests their largest lead of the night
at 52-43 with 2:48 remaining.
The Maroon and Gold, however,
answered with a 7-1 surge and cut
the deﬁcit down to a single possession (53-50) with 20 seconds left.
Alexander followed with a turnover on its ensuing possession,
but Meigs couldn’t capitalize after
coming up empty on its game-tying

attempt. Stone Markins-Erwin and
Luke Kish both converted a pair of
free throws for the Red and Black
over the ﬁnal 12 seconds, allowing
the guests to sneak away with the
seven-point outcome.
The Spartans also claimed a season sweep of MHS after posting a
58-47 win at The Alley back on Jan.
5 in Athens County.
Despite being outmanned by a
deeper roster and taller players,
the Marauders were able to stay in
the thick of things because of their
relentless efforts on both ends of the
ﬂoor. In the end, however, the hosts
simply didn’t have enough left in the

WELLSTON, Ohio — Tough starts. Tough ﬁnish.
Host Wellston claimed a 36-17 advantage in the
opening quarters of each half and eventually rolled
to a 56-30 victory over the River Valley girls basketball team in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contest on Monday night in Jackson County.
The Lady Raiders (0-19, 0-11 TVC Ohio) struggled out of the gates as the guests fell behind 12-5
after eight minutes of play, then the Lady Rockets
(9-10, 3-8) followed with a small 8-6 spurt to take
a 20-11 cushion into the intermission.
WHS sealed the deal on the outcome during the
third frame with an impressive 24-12 surge, giving

Fairland fends off Blue Devils
Dragons clinch
share of OVC title
with 1-point win
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

CENTENARY, Ohio —
The Dragons had to work
for this one.
Fairland clinched a
share of its third straight
Ohio Valley Conference
boys basketball title on
Tuesday night in Gallia
County, but it was far
from easy as the Dragons defeated host Gallia
Academy by the narrow-

est of margins, 60-59.
The Blue Devils (153, 9-3 OVC) led 2-0, but
only scored two more
point in the opening
quarter. Fairland (17-3,
12-0) — the No. 6 ranked
team in the latest Division II AP Poll — took
the advantage on a threepointer with 6:06 left in
the opening quarter and
led for the remainder of
the half, jumping out to
a 14-4 lead eight minutes
into play.
The Blue Devils cut
their deﬁcit as low as
seven in the second quarter, but were outscored
22-to-17 in the period and
trailed 36-21 at halftime.
The guests opened the

second half with a trifecta, extending their lead
to a game-high 18 points,
at 39-21. However, GAHS
cut its deﬁcit in half by
the end of the third, outscoring FHS by a 16-to-7
count to make the Dragon
lead 46-37 with eight
minutes to play.
Gallia Academy scored
the ﬁrst eight points of
the fourth quarter, trimming the deﬁcit to one
point, at 46-45. However,
Fairland forced a pair of
turnovers and extended
the lead to back to four
points by the midway
point of the quarter.
After a Zach Loveday
two-pointer and a Fairland turnover, Evan Wise-

man gave the Blue Devils
their ﬁrst lead of the second half, at 50-49, with a
three-pointer at the 3:30
mark.
Fairland regained the
lead with a pair of free
throws eight seconds
later, but GAHS scored
the next ﬁve points and
led 55-51 with 1:40 to
play.
A Ty Staten threepointer made it a onepoint game with 1:20
left, but Cory Call hit a
two-pointer to stretch the
GAHS lead back to threepoints, at 57-54, with 52
seconds remaining.

NKorea cheer
squad arrives
INJE, South Korea
(AP) — A 229-member
strong, all-female cheering section arrived from
North Korea on Wednesday for the Pyeongchang
Winter Olympics.
The women, wearing
red coats with black fur
collars and matching fur
hats, received a celebrity welcome as they
streamed off their buses
and disappeared into
their hotel at a South
Korean automobile racing
track resort.
The squad, which features women chosen for
their youth, good looks
and enthusiasm, has been
allowed to root for the
North’s much smaller contingent of athletes — only
about 22 are competing
— as part of a last-minute
arrangement between
Pyongyang and Seoul.

Afterwards, MHS coach
Ed Fry was pleased with
the overall performance
of his troops — but he
also noted that the Spartans did just enough to
come away with the victory.
“Alexander has a very
good basketball team,
but there were points in
time tonight when we
were not in control of the
tempo — particularly in
that third quarter,” Fry
said. “We are much better
team when we control the
ﬂow of the game, and I
thought we did that for
a better portion of the
night.
“They did a good job
of contesting our threepoint shooting and we
started settling for threes
a little too soon down the
stretch. We needed to
drive, get to the basket
and maybe draw some
foul shots so we could
score without the clock
running being down late,
but you also have to give
Alexander a lot of credit.
It was a good effort, but it
just wasn’t enough.”

Lady Pioneers top Point, 52-22
By Scott Jones

POINT PLEASANT,
W. Va. — A slow start
can overshadow a strong
ﬁnish.
The Point Pleasant
girls basketball team

14 points at the end of
the ﬁrst quarter, but the
Lady Knights closed out
the game on a 13-10 run
in a non-conference contest in Mason County.
The Lady Knights
(1-16) were held to a
single ﬁeld goal in the
ﬁrst half — as the Lady
Pioneers (18-1) made
eight shots from the ﬁeld,
including ﬁve trifectas
over that same span en
route to a 52-22 loss.
PPHS was held to ﬁve
points in the ﬁrst half as
WHS surged to a 26-5
lead at halftime. The
host offensive production
through the ﬁrst two periods came primarily by
way of the charity stripe,
as they made 3-of-9 shot
attempts from the line for
33 percent.
The Red and Black’s
struggles from the ﬁeld
continued following the
break, as trifecta by Peyton Campbell in the third
period was the only ﬁeld
goal as Wayne utilized
a 16-4 run to carry a
33-point advantage into

McDaniels backs out of deal to become Colts coach
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Josh McDaniels has
backed out of a deal to
become the Indianapolis’
Colts new coach, a decision that shocked the
franchise hours after it
announced his hiring.
The Colts conﬁrmed

McDaniels’ decision in a
statement Tuesday night
after reports emerged
that the Patriots’ offensive coordinator had
opted to stay in New
England with coach Bill
Belichick.
McDaniels had agreed

to contract terms with
the Colts to replace the
ﬁred Chuck Pagano,
and a news conference
had been scheduled for
Wednesday at Lucas Oil
Stadium.
Just a few hours later,
the Colts said McDaniels

informed them he would
not sign the deal.
“Although we are surprised and disappointed,
we will resume our head
coaching search immediately and ﬁnd the right
ﬁt to lead our team and
organization on and off
the ﬁeld,” the Colts said
in the statement.
The Patriots and
McDaniels’ agent,
Bob LaMonte, did not
immediately respond to
requests for comment.
“I’m speechless,”
former Colts receiver
Reggie Wayne told NFL
Network. “I’ve talked
with people in the Colts
organization and they feel
like they’ve been hoodwinked.”
It’s also not clear how
the Colts will proceed
from here.
By spurning Indy after
it waited 22 days for the
playoffs to end, McDaniels leaves the reeling
franchise as the only one
without a coach — in
early February. New
England’s defensive coordinator, Matt Patricia,
left Belichick’s staff a day
after the Patriots’ Super
Bowl loss to become
coach of the Detroit
Lions.
