The Gallia Meigs C.A.A’s Emergency HEAP Program which began Nov. 1, 2016, will continue through March 31, 2017, explained Debbie Cundiff, Community Services Manager. The program are continuing to book appointments every Friday starting at 8 a.m. (unless it’s a holiday). Clients may call the Cheshire Ofﬁce at 740-367-7341 or 740-992-6629, or walk-in our main ofﬁce in Cheshire, to book an appointment. However, please note, an appointment may/or may not extend a scheduled utility shut off. Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection, or have 25 percent or less supply of bulk fuel, or less than 10 day supply of wood or coal. The program allows a one-time payment per heating season to restore or retain home heating. The potential dollar amount will be up to $175 for regulated utilities, up to $550 for unregulated utilities, up to $450 for wood, coal or pellets and up to 200 gallons for propane/fuel oil, etc., and up to eight cylinders of propane, depending of the cost. The income guidelines for Regular HEAP and Emergency HEAP are the same; however, regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12-month period or 3-month period for the help is determined from date of application making it possible for some with decreased income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these types of situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s most recent gas/electric bill is required. It is also required clients provide social security cards for all household members. The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 175 percent calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a one person household is $20,790; two persons $28,035; three persons $35,280; four persons $42,525; ﬁve persons $49,770; six persons $57,015; seven persons $64,277; eight persons $71,557. Households with more than eight members should add an additional $1,820 per member to the yearly income. Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications can be completed at both ofﬁces — Central Ofﬁce, Gallia County at 8010 N. State Route 7, Cheshire or the Meigs County Ofﬁce at 369 Powell Street, Middleport. Applications will be taken by appointment from 8:30-10:30 a.m. and from 1-3 p.m. Required Documents: Proof of Gross Income for everyone in the household for the past three monthsWeekly — last 13 pay stubs/Bi-weekly — last 7 pay stubs SS/SSI/SSD Bank Statement or 2016 Award Letter PERS/VA/SERS/PENSION — Copy of 2016 Award Letter College student — Financial aid documents (Refund Page) OWF/TANF/DA — Print out of the last three months or bank statement Child support, ordered to pay or receive — Print out (documented proof for the last 3 months, veriﬁcation of whether receiving it or dej��IeY_Wb�I[Ykh_jo�9WhZi�\eh�;L;HOED;�_d� the household Current heating bill or statement (Columbia Gas, Propane, Fuel Oil, Coal or Wood) Current electric bill (AEP or Buckeye Rural) If you pay out of pocket for Health Insurance, documented proof for the last three months — Spend Down (DJFS), Aﬂac, AARP, Blue Cross Blue Shield, etc. Landlords Name, Address and Phone Number Submitted by Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency Grant information session for local non-profits Staff Report NELSONVILLE — The Rocky Community Improvement Fund (RCIF) and The Athens Foundation are hosting a grant information session for local non-proﬁt organizations seeking funding during the spring grant cycle.

Spoehr “But by signing this order, Trump On Jan. 27, Presihas sent an dent Donald Trump unambiguous signed an exceptionally important execu- signal across his administration that tive order initiating both the beginning of the rebuilding of our the rebuilding of the military is one of his U.S. armed forces and top priorities.” the fulﬁllment of a Contributing columnist campaign promise. Because he signed this order on the same day he signed an order on immigration, it hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. That’s a shame. The order directs Secretary of Defense James Mattis to conduct a 30-day review of the readiness of the armed forces to assess their ability to conduct the ﬁght against the Islamic State, or ISIS, and other forms of radical Islamic terrorism, including near-peer competitors and regional adversaries. This review is critically needed. The Heritage Foundation’s 2017 Index of U.S. Military Strength assessed our overall military capability as “marginal, trending towards weak” because of many years of budget cuts and overuse. Our assessment found that the U.S. Army today is the smallest it has been since the start of World War II; the Navy is the smallest it has been since World War I; and the Air Force suffers from crippling shortages of pilots and maintenance personnel. For example, the average age of Air Force planes is 27 years old. For too long, the nation and the president have neglected the state of military readiness in favor of other priorities. This 30-day review will allow the defense secretary and the president to establish the facts and determine the necessary priorities for the rebuilding of the military. The order also calls for a review to “reduce commitments not directly related to the highest priority operations to make resources available for training and maintenance.” This is also overdue. The Department of Defense spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year on programs not directly related to military readiness such as non-militaryrelated medical research, sustainable energy programs, and junior ROTC programs. Although there won’t be enough resources identiﬁed just through cuts and efﬁciencies to ﬁx the Pentagon’s readiness problems, every little bit helps. Perhaps most signiﬁcantly, the order directs Mattis and the director of the Ofﬁce of Budget and Management to develop both a new request for emergency funding for ﬁscal year 2017 and to revise the still-to-be-released budget request for 2018 to provide the increased funding needed to begin the rebuilding of the military. That direction aligns with recommendations from both Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas. McCain and Thornberry, the chairmen of the Senate and House Armed Services committees, respectively, both have a clear-eyed view of the critical state of the U.S. military and have written persuasively on the need for additional defense funding. Obtaining additional funding for defense will require some difﬁcult negotiations within Congress and with the White House, but the need is so critical that failure to succeed is not a viable option. Congress and the administration will need to establish concrete and measurable objectives for the rebuilding of our military so that the American taxpayer can be assured that every dollar applied to defense results in an improvement. Finally, the executive order calls for a new nuclear posture and missile defense reviews, two critical defense areas that both suffered considerably under the Obama administration. Heritage has been consistent in pointing out the need for new reviews and increased investment of our nation’s nuclear and missile defense domains. Could all of these actions been undertaken without a presidential executive order? Certainly. But by signing this order, Trump has sent an unambiguous signal across his administration that the rebuilding of our military is one of his top priorities. Given the threats our nation faces today to its national interests, this sends exactly the right signal to both our allies and potential adversaries. Lt. Gen. Thomas W.

This infers that love’s “color” is felt, not just seen—that love is an obscure, yet recognizable feeling. So, maybe love can be any color we choose. Maybe the color of love is a blend of all the colors, the hue a combination of the good and the bad. With one bite it is both sweet and bitter. On the other hand, maybe love is colorless or at best, has many shades, some dark, some lighter, but all based on the perception of the one looking. I’ve often felt love was just a ﬁgment of my imagination like colors actually are. Colors are created by various wavelengths of light reﬂecting off a surface. The light isn’t colored, yet the object it strikes produces what we see as color. When we truly love someone we see them in a different light than we would see them if we despised them. We see the color, the essence, of them that we want to see. We see in them a reﬂection of ourselves. People aren’t color-bynumber forms—they are a canvas, splotched with a variety of textures onto which we reﬂect light. We decide how bright or how dim that light is. Paradoxically, like Shakespeare proposed, maybe love is blind. And that may be the best color of all.

According to court proceedings, Hurt pleaded guilty of his own volition to the two charges he was indicted for with no plea bargain. Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney Jason Holdren requested Hurt be placed under house arrest and monitored through a GPS-tracking ankle bracelet as part of his bond condition. Evans agreed and granted the request. Holdren represented the state, while Hurt was represented by attorney Ronald Janes, at Monday’s hearing. Hurt pleaded not guilty to both charges at a previous arraignment. According to court records, the Gallia County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and Ohio Bureau Criminal Identiﬁcation and Investigation assisted authorities July 30, 2016 in Mason County, W.Va., with the discovery of a dismembered human body. During the investigation, Hurt reportedly told investigators he and a recently reported missing Gallia County woman, Jessica Berry, 32 at the time (she would have been 33 on Sept. 20, 2016), of Gallipolis, were at a residence on White Road in Gallia County on or about July 19. Berry allegedly overdosed on narcotics at the location. Hurt also allegedly said he used a saw to dismember Berry’s remains, placed them in trash bags and transported those remains in his vehicle for roughly one and a half days before taking them to Mason County, where he buried the remains on private property. Hurt reportedly said he Dean Wright | Daily Tribune Richard Hurt exits the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas after pleading guilty to the felony charges of third-degree tampering with evidence and fifth-degree abuse of a corpse. disposed of Berry’s clothing and the saw in the trash that was collected by a local garbage service. Court records state Hurt said he knew the items would end up at the local landﬁll. The Daily Tribune had previously reported Berry’s disappearance. Records further state Hurt had allegedly provided a false statement to Gallia County deputies in regards to Berry’s initial disappearance. According to postmortem examination of the body records, the forensic pathologist’s opinion from Montgomery County, states the cause of Berry’s death was undetermined due to the state of how investigators received the remains. “We’re kind of upset,” said Tammy Taylor, Berry’s mother. “It’s not enough. Not enough for what he did to her … What he’s done to my daughter should be more of a capital punishment than what he’s getting. He admits that he did this to her. It’s like getting away with murder because I don’t think she died from a drug overdose. The autopsies came back undetermined. They can’t say she overdosed.” “He (Hurt) doesn’t show any emotions,” continued Taylor. “He doesn’t have any remorse for what he did.

Monday afternoon, the ofﬁce of Mason County Prosecuting Attorney R.F. Stein, Jr. released the following statement about Hurt’s case in West Virginia: “The Mason County Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce continues to investigate the facts that form the basis of the criminal charge(s) against Richard Hurt. The gathering of relevant facts for this case stretch across county and state lines and involve multiple law enforcement agencies. The Mason County Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce is working closely with Jason Holdren, Prosecuting Attorney for Gallia County, Ohio, in order to piece together the entire investigation. Mason County will continue to gather facts in an effort to present this case to an upcoming term of the Mason County Grand Jury for possible indictment. We are aware that, earlier today (Monday), the defendant pled guilty to each and every charge against him in Gallia County, Ohio, and that plea bargaining was not involved in his guilty plea. This Ofﬁce continues to offer our thoughts to the family of the victim and hopes that the defendant’s guilty plea will help bring them some form of closure.” Clendenin 65/48 Charleston 69/52 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

The high school postseason is just around the corner, but the area roads for the state tournament were paved Sunday afternoon during the 2017 OHSAA Southeast District girls basketball tournament selection meeting. Six area schools — Gallia Academy, Meigs, River Valley, Southern, South Gallia and Eastern — now know where their opening games will be and who they will be facing in their respective sectional matchups.

See FATES | 7 Logan sweeps Lady Marauders By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Unfortunately for the Lady Marauders, it was another rough ending against the power of Purple. That’s because host Meigs, by being outscored 17-6 in the decisive fourth quarter, fell to the Logan Lady Chiefs 59-46 on Saturday — in a non-league girls basketball tilt inside Meigs High School’s Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Lady Marauders trailed 20-14 following the opening quarter, but bounced back in the second stanza 14-8 to forge a 28-28 halftime tie. Logan led 42-40 entering the ﬁnal period, then blitzed the Lady Marauders in that fourth frame to complete the season sweep. The Lady Chiefs chalked up an earlier victory against Meigs — 51-40 on Jan. 4 in Jim Myers Gymnasium in Logan. In that contest, a technical foul assessed against the Lady Marauder bench turned a six-point deﬁcit with 2:50 remaining into a double-digit Lady Chief win. Meigs never got closer than seven points the remainder of the way. On Saturday, trailing 48-42 and with only 3:51 to play, it was de ja vu all over again. The Lady Marauder bench got hit with a technical, and Logan’s Paige Lunsford split the pair of free throws for the seven-point lead. This time, the Maroon and Gold got no closer than ﬁve points, and the Lady Chiefs pulled away by outscoring Meigs 10-4.

Seated with Blanks are, from left, mother Heather Nichols, nephew Gunner Lavender and grandmother JoAnn Milliron. Standing are Southern High School head football coach Mike Chancey (left) and stepfather Randy Nichols (right). Blanks bound for Hocking College By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — Jaylen Blanks is bound and determined, going forward, to remain healthy. And, he will have that opportunity to achieve that — at the next level. That’s because Blanks, of Southern High School, has announced his intention to play college football for the Hocking College Hawks in Nelsonville. Hocking College is a Junior College program, and a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association. The upcoming campaign will be the Hawks’ third. “I’ve always been wanting to play college football. Hocking (College) is close and I have family there. This is a dream come true for me,” said Blanks. At Southern, when healthy, Blanks was a standout running back, defensive back and wide receiver — and was a solid special teams player as a kick and punt return man. He played for the better part of three seasons at Southern, and earned allSoutheast District Division VII Special Mention as a sophomore. However, his Tornado career — unfortunately — was impacted heavily by injuries. A broken ankle in the ﬁrst quarter of the ﬁrst game of his junior season sidelined him then, and he missed the middle of his senior season with injuries and a concussion. ” Freshman year, I played special teams. Sophomore year, I come in and start at tailback and played a lot. Junior year, I broke my ankle on my ﬁrst punt return in the ﬁrst game of the season. So I missed a whole season of football. Senior year, I battled injuries and a concussion, but I came back at the end of the year and I’m ready,” said Blanks. Blanks brieﬂy discussed his health — when asked about it on Saturday at Adams Memorial Field in Racine. “My health is better. I’ve been lifting a lot and working harder so I don’t get hurt,” he said. When Blanks was healthy, he was a key contributor to the Tornadoes’ teams in 2013 and 2016 —which went 8-2 in the regular season and are the only Southern squads in school history to qualify for the state playoffs. “It felt awesome. It felt good to be a part of the ﬁrst team in Southern history to make the playoffs, but it also felt better to be the second team my senior year. It’s just like a repeat,” said Blanks. Mike Chancey coached last year’s club, so he had the “pleasure” of coaching Blanks for one season. “First and foremost, I am happy for him and the opportunity he has to not only further his playing career, but also get an education. Jaylen is a good young man who did everything we asked him to do this year. He was a pleasure to coach. He was bitten a bit by the injury bug throughout his career here, but I think he is a special football player,” said Chancey. “I am excited that he still wants to play football, and I think he can deﬁnitely contribute at Hocking College. When Jaylen was healthy, I felt he was one of the best players in our league (Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division). He made a lot of plays here, both this past year and as I’ve seen him on ﬁlm from previous years.” Blanks said he would like to continue to play the all-purpose positions for the Hawks. Hocking College is coached by Adolphus Matthews. Blanks said he plans to study to become a Physical Therapist Assistant. That too, along with his determination to remain healthy, has him having an opportunity to play college football. “I need to work on working harder, not giving up on myself or cutting myself short and applying how I know,” said Blanks.
