While involved in other matters, such as boosting the spirits of a couple of men named George, she was particularly engrossed in using the printed word as a way of fighting for better lives for millions, adults as well as children. I myself crossed paths with her when I and others were trying in the late 1980s to encourage newspapers nationally to get more involved in this very serious issue. At that time, I was at a newspaper in El Paso, Texas, and was first motivated by hearing an educator speak about how reading was the single most important thing in the intellectual development of children, that this is the primary way in which they enlarge their vocabularies, learn grammar and spelling and learn to write. Beyond that, others observe, it’s how we master concepts and learn to think sequentially and logically while absorbing all sorts of subject matter. What’s needed, many said, is for children to be read to from early on, to be surrounded by books and, when they learn to read, to read a lot. Especially if a child comes from a disadvantaged home, there is a need for preschool and then excellent teachers and, quite likely, special tutors. Many never get this, and tens of millions of American adults read at nothing higher than a grade-school level. The consequences of low-level literacy are a little bit of everything bad, such as poverty, diminished opportunities and homelessness. Barbara Bush, described as having been a zealous reader herself, was drawn more into this issue by the fact that one of her sons, Neil, was See LITERACY | 5A THEIR VIEW When staying up late was a thing Writing about the time change last month, I mentioned the night of a spring forward event in the mid-’80s when I lost track of everything while talking with a group of friends in the old Gallipolis police station, resulting in our parting company just as the rays of early dawn became visible and birds were chirping to signal the start of another day. No worries because it was a Sunday in late April — the springtime switch in Daylight Savings Time being much later than it is now — and I had the day off to catch up on whatever sleep was lost. Then being in my late 20s, such antics as being up late had become something I and my body were used to, particularly after high school and the routine it enforced became past history. Of course, decades later I have to say it was very much something you do in youth as you now struggle between the lateness of the hour and the body’s demand that you get some sleep.

When I got there, I stealthily came in through the back door only to meet my father as he entered the kitchen to make coffee and start his work day, to give you an idea of the hour in which my adventure came to an end. I muttered something to the effect of “we were out pretty late” (even then I was an ancestor of Captain Obvious) and Dad nodded in understanding. After all, I was 22, lived most of the time in Ohio by then and was old enough to act responsibly (if not intelligently all the time). Finding me upright and sober before I disappeared into my room, Dad brushed it off. He’d had his share of late nights in his early 20s, even if they were in places like North Africa, Italy and eventually Germany. At some point being up late and beyond progressed from doing something out of the See KELLY | 5A YOUR VIEW Pomeroy Mayor supports Meigs Jail Levy Dear Editor, Pomeroy Village Council recently endorsed the levy to build a new justice center (jail and treatment facility) in Pomeroy. I believe this endorsement is warranted, at least in part, for the following reasons. The cost to house inmates elsewhere is $48 to $90 per person per day. In 2016, the sheriff’s office alone was responsible for housing an average of 16 inmates a day but had room for only 5. Those 11 extra inmates cost the county about $300,000. Transportation cost another $10,000. The economics of the issue is important but did you know that the village of Pomeroy as well as the sheriff’s office often release inmates when no jail space is available? How many crimes do you suppose are committed by these individuals before they stand before a judge, if they ever do? Does it make sense to apprehend individuals just to turn them loose within hours of having them in custody? Perhaps most importantly, the proposed facility will offer treatment for those with drug dependency issues and not just serve as a place to lock them up. A major component of the solution to the opioid epidemic lies in treatment for those suffering from drug dependency. Treatment will also be available for those wishing to help themselves. Individuals seeking help can walk in to the facility and have the treatment they need to start living a real life. So, is the increase in taxes worth the benefits gained by the whole county? If you own property with a market value of $100,000, you would pay about $100 per year in taxes. The proposed justice center would benefit our families, friends and neighbors throughout the county, and especially those individuals with drug or mental health issues that are desperate to gain some normalcy in their lives. Please vote for the levy to build and operate the Meigs County Justice Center. I believe the benefits gained far outweigh the costs. Sincerely, Don M. Anderson Mayor of Pomeroy Honoring local veterans Dear Editor, Jack L. Saunders, United States Air Force, and and Andrew B. Gilmore, United States Marine Corps, are the local veteran honorees for the month of May.

The shortage of coverage in the county during these transports leads to concerns should an emergency arise in the county at that time. The travel time is not the only concern with taking inmates to outside locations — there is also the expense. Housing at the facilities utilized by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office runs at a cost of $48 to $90 per day. There are also fuel costs and the wear on the vehicles. In total, the county has already spent more than $97,000 in 2018 for transportation and housing. Nearly $300,000 was spent in 2016 and 2017, each, with $350,000 spent in 2015. The bottom line with this or any levy is what will it cost. Is it something that a family or individual can afford, and is the outcome worth the expense. Using the tax estimator available at meigsauditor.org, the Sentinel ran the numbers on what a 2.95 mill levy would cost county tax payers.A property owner with property valued at $60,000 would see a tax increase of $5.17 per month. (A total of $62 for the year). A property owner with property valued at $80,000 would see a tax increase of $6.92 per month. (A total of $83 for the year). A property owner with a property valued at $100,000 would see a tax increase of $8.58 per month. (A total of $103 per year). A property owner with a property valued at $200,000 would see a tax increase of $17.25 per month. (A total of $207 per year). A property owner with a property valued at $300,000 would see a tax increase of $25.83 per month. (A total of $310 per year). The millage of the levy is split into two parts for the funding of the facility — 1.3 mill for construction and 1.65 mill for operation. Wood explained that once the loan for the facility is paid off the 1.3 mill could be removed from the tax collection. Utilizing the payments from outside housing to make extra payments, the loan could be paid off much earlier than the 30 year loan term. Lenhart noted that the loan for the facility in his county was paid off in a little over seven years. The 1.65 mills for operation could potentially be removed down the line as well once the facility is self-sustaining. Wood noted that residents in the county had a 1-mill reduction in their property tax rates last year with the expiration of the Tuberculosis Levy which was not placed on the ballot for renewal. The facility is proposed to be located at the site of the former Veterans Memorial Hospital on Mulberry Heights in Pomeroy. Of the location, Wood stated that it is on county owned property within the county seat (the sheriff’s office itself must be in the county seat) and is close to the courthouse for easy transportation. The building would be professional and secure, eliminating many of the problems with the current 120-year-old facility. An investment in the facility would create jobs not only in the construction process, but long term as part of the operation of the facility. Approximately 20-25 corrections officers, medical and other staff would need to be hired to operate the facility on a day-to-day basis. Wood encouraged those with questions or concerns to reach out to him at the sheriff’s office. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel.

GIB will have a plant exchange at 9 a.m. for individuals who wish to trade plants or take to place about their properties. Following that, volunteers will spread across Gallipolis City Park and the rest of town to plant its various containers. America in Bloom, according to its website, is a national competition that was started in 2001 after modeling itself on successful beautification projects around the world. According to GIB Volunteer Coordinator Kim Canaday, Gallipolis in Bloom got its start in 2006. Lori Kelly, of Bob’s Market, came across the AIB organization as part of her activities. Canaday said Kelly shared the organization with Karen Smith and the pair visited with city officials and civic organizations throughout the region in order to get GIB off the ground. Since that time, GIB has taken home over a dozen major awards, multiple recognitions and entered AIB’s Circle of Champions, a tier of competition reserved for repeat winners. GIB will not be competing in the America in Bloom tournament this year as it seeks new leadership. It will still focus its efforts in promoting organic gardening, environmental education and beautification as those were the tenants with which it was started and may return to the competition in the future. According to Gallipolis in Bloom President Bev Dunkle, she is considering retirement in the coming years and is ready to step down as the chairperson of GIB efforts in the America in Bloom competition. To partake in the annual AIB competition GIB has been part of the last 12 years, paperwork must be typically submitted by February. Dunkle has been File photos GIB, the Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District along with city officials planted a Buckeye Tree in City Park Friday in honor of Arbor Day. A proclamation was read to recognize the event. the president of the nonprofit organization since the late 2000s. Dunkle will remain with the committee in an advisory capacity. Canaday says the group will focus on what it does best, planting flowers, and while it may not be competing this year, it will continue leading the charge in beautifying the town. “I grew up and there were no flowers,” said Canaday. “To me it’s really important that when people drive through this town that they go through and say ‘Wow, that was awesome. Let’s come back here.’” Theme colors for this year’s planting will be red, orange and yellow. Flowers to be planted will feature Red Lantanas and Supertunia Honey flowers in pole planters along the street side. Large ground planters will feature Lantanas, Crotons and types of petunias. Dragonwing Begonias will be planted in hanging baskets in the park. Canaday said the group is trying some new things this year in terms of sustainability with its plants as that is often a central theme of environmentalism. She encouraged volunteers to come out and help with planting and weeding to continue Gallipolis’ gardening tradition. Yard of the Week will also continue. Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2103. Gallipolis in Bloom hosts a reception at the French Art Colony for America in Bloom judges in the summer of 2015. Gallipolis in Bloom promotes organic growing practice as well as the health of pollinating insects such as honeybees and butterflies.

The incredible level of talent, ability and inquiry made it difficult to choose the award winners,” Johnston said. “I am so proud of all of these students and the phenomenal research being done here at Rio. These creative and innovative projects show that our students are excited to learn and will have incredibly bright futures in their career fields.” Students spend long hours completing research for their classes. RISE offers the students another opportunity to present their accomplishments to a larger audience. Student Senate President Kaylynn Bell presented her project, “ACL Grafts: The Best Fit for You,” with classmate Chelsy Slone to explain how different muscle graft options work best for different people and injuries to replace a torn ACL. Bell, a junior sports and exercise science major from Hillsboro, Ohio, said she enjoyed sharing her project with faculty, staff and students from other departments and getting to see other students’ work as well. “I think this is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our work outside of our classes, and it’s rewarding for us because we’ve all worked so hard on our research. I’m glad Chelsy and I had the chance to display our work at RISE,” Bell said. “This is a great way for other departments to give each other a little preview of what we do in the classroom.

Scott Jones|OVP Sports Southern sweeps Lady Tomcats, 9-4 By Scott Jones sjones@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — The hits just kept coming. The Southern softball team produced mightily at the plate Friday night at Star Mill Park, as the Lady Tornadoes had 17 total hits en route to a 9-4 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Trimble. SHS (11-3, 10-1 TVC Hocking) took a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first — highlighted by a Kaitlyn DeLacruz home run — as it sent 8 batters to the dish in the inning and collected five runs on six hits and one Lady Tomcats error. Trimble cut the deficit to 5-1 in the top of the third, as Macinsey Cooper led off the inning with a single and later scored on a two-out error on a ball off of the bat of Skylar Moore. The Purple and Gold tacked on two additional runs in the fifth, as Paige VanMeter and Lauren Lavender started the inning with back-to-back singles and later scored to extend Southern’s lead to 7-1. The Lady Tornadoes further their advantage in the sixth, VanMeter singled and scored on a double by Lavender to push the lead to 8-1. Lavender added Southern’s second run of the inning when she scored on a double by Shelbi Dailey , as the Purple and Gold carried a 9-1 advantage into the finale. The Lady Tomcats narrowed the margin in the top of the seventh, as Gracie Hankinson reached on an error to start the inning and later scored on a single by Rhiannon Brown. Brown reached home when Moore drove a two-out two-run home run beyond the left field wall to cut the deficit to 9-4. Southern prevented any further attempts of a Trimble rally, as Sydney Cleland retired Lackey by way of a strikeout to close out the five run victory. The win also served as a season sweep of THS for Southern, having previously earned a 15-2 victory over the Lady Tomcats on April 9 in Glouster, Ohio. Cleland earned the pitching victory for the Lady Tornadoes, as she surrendered four runs on five hits, with one walk and two strikeouts in seven innings of work. VanMeter, Lavender, and Jaiden Roberts led the way for SHS in the hit category, as each finished with three safeties. Roberts also scored once, while Lavender scored three runs and had one RBI in the contest. DeLaCruz was next with two hits, including a home run, scoring once and driving in a pair of RBI. Baylee Grueser followed with two hits and had one RBI. Dailey and Josie Cundiff each provided one hit apiece, respectively, to conclude the hit totals for Southern. Kayla Boyer and Jordan Hardwick scored two runs and one run each. The Lady Tornadoes committed three fielding errors in the contest, while Trimble had five miscues. Southern stranded a total of six runners on base, as the Lady Tomcats left eight on the base path. The game served as Senior Night for as SHS recognized Roberts, VanMeter, Cundiff, Dailey, Lavender, Cleland and Jolisha Ervin. Following the game, Southern head coach Alan Crisp discussed those players impact on his ball club and dedication to the sport. “These seven seniors softball is their love,” said Crisp. “Most of them play other sports but softball is their love. They’ve been great and easy to coach. They’ve been around the game and now what to do out there. It’s been pretty great to coach these girls for the past four years. They know what’s going on and they know what lies ahead too.” Crisp also elaborated on his team’s remaining scheduled and its magnitude regarding their place in the conference standings. “We are looking at the league right now,” said Crisp. “We are getting ready to go into tournaments. We have a nice run going into the postseason to get ourselves ready. We are playing for a league title down the stretch. We need to keep our focus. We have some huge games coming up.” Southern hosted Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Wahama in a doubleheader on Saturday.

Everything just started clicking for us there in the third and we started getting some energy, and it just took off from there,” Wickline said. “That third inning was something I’ve been hoping and waiting to see all year, and it came when we needed it. As we start closing in on the remainder of our league schedule and the start of the tournament, it’s good to see signs that this team is starting to reach its full potential. “Those four seniors, they’ve all made so many different contributions this year and over their careers. It was good to get to send them out with a win like this one.” The Tomcats sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the first, which led to three runs despite only one hit to go along with two walks, two hit batters and an error. Another Southern error led to a THS run in the third frame. The Tornadoes outhit the guests by a 10-4 overall margin, but SHS also committed four of the seven errors in the contest. Parker was the winning pitcher of record after allowing no runs and one hit over three frames while walking three and striking out three. Hooper took the loss after surrendering six runs, six hits and a walk over 2 innings while fanning two.

The Wahama softball team committed an error with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, allowing host Waterford to claim a 10-9 victory on Thursday night during a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest in Washington County. The visiting Lady Falcons (12-10, 8-3 TVC Hocking) were down 6-3 after an inning and rallied for an 8-6 advantage midway through the third before finding themselves deadlocked at nine through five frames with the Lady Wildcats. After a scoreless sixth and a scoreless top of the seventh, the Green and White started the home half of the seventh with three consecutive singles that led to a bases-loaded situation with nobody out. Wahama managed to induce consecutive ground balls that resulted in a pair of force outs at home, which still left the bases full with Waterford’s eight-hole hitter headed to the plate. Smith bounced an 0-1 offering towards the gap between second and third, but the ball squirted through a drawn in infield as Huffman came in with the winning run — allowing Waterford to secure a 10-9 triumph. The victory also allowed the Lady Cats to avenge an 8-4 setback back on April 10 in Hartford, W.Va. The Lady Falcons took an early lead in the first after Hannah Rose scored on a fielder’s choice by Maddy VanMatre, who joined Ashtyn Russell in scoring later on after a two-out double by Victoria VanMatre gave the guests a 3-0 advantage.

Behind Victor Oladipo’s 28 points and first career postseason triple-double, the Pacers sent the series back to Cleveland and pushed the defending Eastern Conference champions to the brink of an early exit and a possible summer of unrest with a 121-87 rout on Friday night. “I just went out there and played. I did everything with confidence. I just played read and react,” Oladipo said. “This game is over. It means absolutely nothing right now.” If he can play that way one more time, the Pacers could reach the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time since 2014. History does not bode well for the Pacers. James is 12-0 all-time in first-round series and home teams have a major advantage in Game 7. But the Pacers have defied the odds all season ond quarter and wound up scoring just seven points while shooting 3 of 10 from the field. Lue provided no injury update after the game. James took a shot, too, cutting the side of his left eye when he ran into Thaddeus Young’s elbow on a drive late in the first half. No foul was called.

(AP) — NASCAR has acquired the ARCA series, a launching pad for drivers looking to reach stock car racing’s top level. NASCAR vice chairman and executive vice president Jim France called the announcement Friday “a big moment for stock car racing in America.” Twelve of the 16 drivers in the Cup Series playoffs last year have logged starts in the Automobile Racing Club of America. ARCA alums include Davey Allison and Kyle Petty and current drivers Kyle Busch , Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman, Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s replacement in the No. 88 Chevrolet. ARCA will operate under its current structure through 2019, including nine events at NASCAR venues this year. Its stops include Talladega, Daytona International Speedway and Pocono. “We’ve worked together closely for 70-plus years in one form or another,” France said. “(ARCA President Ron Drager) and I have worked together, known each other, through basically all of our motorsports careers. “It’s fantastic that we’re going to be working together going off into the future here.
