Visiting Judge Dean Evans, a retired judge from Gallia County who was assigned to the case, heard testimony from only one witness — Meigs County Commissioner Randy Smith — during the hearing on the preliminary injunction request from the Meigs County Commissioners against the Village of Rutland. Other than that witness, both sides only presented opening and closing arguments. Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley represented the Meigs County Commissioners in the case and called Smith to the stand following opening arguments.

Other budget related topics expected to be discussed include proposed cuts to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and the local government fund. “The idea behind it is to unite local officials that face the bigger cuts,” said Commissioner Randy Smith. Regarding the proposed sales tax fix, Randy Smith added that the current proposal from Kasich focuses on POMEROY — Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reports charges are being filed against Derek Nichols, age 27, of Pomeroy, Ohio for the Jan. 27 armed robbery of the TNT Gas Station in Syracuse, Ohio. Deputies first received the report of a masked suspect entering Nichols the TNT Gas Station at approximately 9:20 p.m. with a knife demanding money. The suspect was wearing a dark colored hoodie with a Trojan emblem along with a mask and gloves. Deputies learned from the clerk that the suspect took off one of his gloves to remove cash from the drawer, which exposed a tattoo that the clerk observed. Video surveillance footage confirmed a tattoo on the suspect’s right hand. Deputy Jeff Perry, being familiar with Nichols in a burglary investigation, went to Nichols residence on Jan. 28 and questioned Nichols about the robbery. According to the sheriff’s office, Nichols gave conflicting stories of his whereabouts during the time of the robbery and denied any See MEETING | 5A See ROBBERY | 5A Health Dept. continues with accreditation process Must be accredited by the 2020 deadline By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Health Department has recognized major concerns of residents in the community as part of its continuing accreditation process and is planning ways to address those needs as it approaches a July 1, 2020 deadline. As part of Ohio Revised Code section 3701.13, all Ohio health departments must be accredited by the 2020 deadline. Accreditation will make health departments more universal in their techniques and services provided. The department is seeking accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board, a nationally recognized nonprofit. As a part of health assessment surveys, health department employees identified access to care and substance abuse as being the preeminent concern of Gallia citizens. The department is nearly completed with its community health improvement plan with a few A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 4A Weather: 6A more factors needing completed and approved, according to Accreditation Coordinator Brittany Hively. According to colleague Accreditation Coordinator Tyler Schweickart, focus concern areas are also measured against state averages as the health department examines its efforts along the ability to impact the focus areas. Health department workers have discussed strategies to raise the number of residents who have a primary care provider. The health department aims to create awareness programs to better inform residents of where primary care providers are found. According to both coordinators, the department also collaborates with other local area organizations to direct residents towards how to meet their needs. Department workers have discussed aiding in this by also creating an informational document listing primary care provider choices, locations and associated information.

CNN subsequently invited Conway to appear on the network, infuriating a chorus of liberal media critics who insist she must be shunned like a harlot in an Amish colony. Now, I should disclose that I Jonah know Conway a bit and like her. At Goldberg the same time, no one who’s read Contributing my columns over the last two years columnist would accuse me of being a cheerleader for her or her boss. Conway’s job is, at least in part, to sell the president’s agenda and fight back against a hostile press. She is very good at it. Too good, apparently. Bill Moyers, who had a similar job for President Lyndon Johnson, lamented CNN’s decision not to permanently ban Conway, which is the “the surest way to prevent a professional con artist from using you to pollute the airwaves with one flagrant lie after another.” Moyers says Conway is the “administration’s official Queen of Bulls—-, which is an interesting charge coming from someone who used to clean out LBJ’s stables gustily. Journalism professor Jay Rosen thinks there’s little journalistic value in giving Conway a platform. “The logic is, this is a representative of the president,” Rosen said on the Recode Media podcast. “This is somebody who can speak for the Trump administration. But if we find that what Kellyanne Conway says is routinely or easily contradicted by Donald Trump, then that rationale disappears.” “Another reason to interview Kellyanne Conway is, our viewers want to understand how the Trump world thinks,” Rosen added. “But if the end result of an interview is more confusion about what the Trump world thinks, then that rationale evaporates.” I can understand Rosen’s frustration. President Trump’s surrogates, including Vice President Mike Pence, have mastered the art of defending straw-man positions that don’t reflect the actions and views of the president himself. But I find this talk of refusing to interview Conway baffling and bizarre. It’s also a bit ironic, given the hysteria this week over Sen. Elizabeth Warren being “silenced” by the Senate. Apparently, using a parliamentary technique to cut off a demagogic stemwinder in the Senate is outrageously sexist. But cavalierly insulting Conway, the first successful female presidential campaign manager, is fine — and calling for her media banishment is the height of journalistic seriousness. In 2012, Susan Rice, Barack Obama’s national security adviser, flatly lied on five Sunday news shows, saying that the attack on the Benghazi compound was “spontaneous” and the direct result of a “heinous and offensive video.” No one talked of banning her from the airwaves. Nor should they have. Here’s a news flash for the news industry: Birds are gonna fly, fish are gonna swim, and politicians are gonna lie. The assumption that Conway is uniquely dishonest strikes me as not only preposterous but irrelevant. If she’s that dishonest, a good interviewer will make that clear to the viewer. Personally, I think Jake Tapper is more than capable of holding anyone’s feet to the fire. The arrogance is remarkable. The Fourth Estate priesthood thinks viewers can’t see through Conway’s spin, so they must be protected from it. It’s a compliment to Conway and her skills, and an admission of incompetence by the press. But the more important point is that singling out Conway would strike millions of viewers — and voters — as further evidence that the press changes its standards depending on which party is in power. Under President George W. Bush, vast swaths of the media celebrated dissent as the highest form of patriotism. Under President Obama, dissent became the lowest form of racism. And upon Donald Trump’s election, dissent became not only patriotic but a requirement for the new mythopoetic cause of “resistance.” While not a news organization, “Saturday Night Live” is emblematic of this mindset. Jim Downey, the “SNL” writer in charge of political mockery, insisted that there was simply nothing funny about Obama. “It’s like being a rock climber looking up at a thousand-foot-high face of solid obsidian, polished and oiled,” Downey said. “There’s not a single thing to grab onto — certainly not a flaw or hook that you can caricature.” The Trump White House, meanwhile, is a bottomless source of japery. That’s fine. But the double standard is obvious to those who don’t share the political biases of “SNL,” “The Daily Show” or, for that matter, CNN.

Specifically, movies of old Hollywood, whose time frame I must now admit extends into the 1970s when I began going pretty regularly to theaters and drive-ins (and having a car and a job to support it and my cinematic habit). I now find myself in the era of the “reboot,” the computer regeneration term now applied to new versions of films popular, in some cases, only a generation ago. Some reboots have been imaginative and successful, as in the new “Star Trek” adventures. Others are merely exploitative, such as those featuring the resurrections of Michael Myers from the “Halloween” franchise and Jason of “Friday the 13th” infamy to capitalize on whatever it was that built them an audience back in the ’80s. (If you like them, fine; despite my love of horror movies, I’ve never been a fan of theirs). My only question is, in this time of seemingly re-everything when it comes to entertainment, whatever happened to originality?

Ultimately, audience response will decide much of what follows, but the time has come to give such clearly thoughtful versions as “Kong: Skull Island” their chance. Besides, its producers at Legendary Pictures are reportedly planning a screen meeting of Kong and Godzilla for 2020 which ought to be interesting; Toho Co.’s 1963 pairing of the two great monsters was one of its more enjoyable projects. So in the end, a reboot of a movie series works if a fresh and enterprising spirit accompanies its production. And the other side of the answer to my question about originality in Hollywood is in something evident for decades: lower-keyed studio movies and independent efforts have always compensated for big production value with unique, well-acted and yes, original stories that we don’t always see, but are well within grasp thanks to viewing choices technology has brought to us.

THEIR VIEW It’s important to be grateful on Valentine’s Day It’s here again: the time of year when colors of pink and red hearts and balloons loom over you as you enter a grocery store, tempting you with chocolate and nice spirits. Ah, it’s a nice thought, to show how much you love someone. But what if it isn’t the right gift? Or the right card? What if your partner gets you something more and you show up shorthanded? Does this day of “love” have to be so stressful? Valentine’s Day can often be like getting a new puppy. Your days are excitable, more work that you ever imagined and expensive.

A warrant for Nichols’ arrest was issued for the unrelated burglary charge and he was arrested by the West Virginia State Police, Spencer Detachment, in the evening hours of Jan. 28. Upon Nichols’ arrest, cash was seized from his person which was consistent with cash that would be in a cash drawer, according to the sheriff’s office. Nichols waived extradition to Ohio and was available for picked up by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 8. Deputy Joe Barnhart interviewed Nichols about the armed robbery of the TNT Gas Station, where Nichols reportedly gave a full confession to committing the robbery, according to the sheriff’s office. Nichols will remain incarcerated pending arraignment on both the armed robbery charges as well as the burglary charges in the Meigs County Court. with Ohio State University’s College of Public Health. “We have a fluid document,” said Schweickart. “It’s a living From page 1A plan that we will adjust as needs come forward.

Nichols consented to photos being taken of the tattoo on his right hand. Deputy Perry showed the clerk the photo and she confirmed that tattoo being the same tattoo as the suspect of the robbery. When Deputy Perry returned to speak with Nichols, Nichols had left in his father’s Health been removed and only an S-10 was inside. The truck is not part of the sewer and water department. Smith said he then saw the parts which were once in the building in a pile behind the Rutland Civic Center. Smith said he instructed Dave Davis who handles the system maintenance for the county to go look through the pile to see what could be salvaged. Smith testified that returning to the village in late November or early December to retrieve the water bill payments, he noticed no trespassing signs on the building and that the locks had been changed. On cross-examination, Clagg asked Smith why, if the building was county property, the no trespass signs kept the county from going into the building if it was their property. Smith said the threat of prosecution was enough to keep him out of the building and for him to not send others into the building as the county was not the one to put the sign on the building. Smith additionally stated that the county has paid the electric bill on the property since May 2013 when thenMayor Lowell Vance began bringing the bill to the county. Since that time the bill has been transferred into the county’s name and has continued to be paid by the county. Clagg asked Smith if he was aware of two electric meters on the bus garage, to which Smith replied he was not and there was only one bill. Clagg did not elaborate further on the possibility of the second meter. Clagg continued to ask for answers given by Smith to be stricken from the record when Smith was answering questions during cross-examination. Clagg stated on more than one occasion that the questions were yes or no questions and stopped Smith when he attempted to answer with a longer answer. Smith, when questioned by Clagg, stated that he had not had correspondence with the village since the August meeting, but had spoke with then-prosecutor Colleen Williams about it. Clagg also brought up the issue of possible liens on the property. He asked Smith if he was aware of two liens totaling around $40,000 on the property. Smith said he had learned of the liens, but did not know the amount.

Vance regarding possession of “all physical and monetary assets,” more specifically the back hoe which had been used by the water and sewer department, but was in the possession of the village. After the letter, the backhoe was turned over to the county. Asked by Stanley why there was not a specific request regarding the bus garage, Smith said it was being used for its intended purpose and did not need to be addressed. Following a brief recess at the end of Smith’s testimony, Stanley stated he had no other witnesses and the defense declined to call any witnesses. In closing arguments, Stanley asked the court to grant the motion for a preliminary injunction, while Clagg stated that the county did not meet its burden of proof for the preliminary injunction. Clagg stated that the county would not be irreparably harmed should the sale of the property proceed, as if they were to ultimately prevail in a civil action they could receive the monetary gain from the sale. He also stated that Smith’s testimony indicated that there was also other property that the county could use for sewer system upgrades in the future should the bus MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM Grateful From page 4A loved one know that you were grateful for him or her?” You know this person best.

Stanley further stated that the county has not yet filed an action regarding breech of contract in the matter as it would not have been appropriate to do so while negotiations in the case were taking place. He said that matter would be discussed further with the commissioners as to going forward with that or not at this time. Evans asked both attorneys if they wished to file simultaneous briefs in the case, but both agreeing that they would not be filing briefs, instead letting the evidence and record in the case stand for itself. Evans said he would consider the matter and make a decision. There was no time frame given for the decision.

According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available in a roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 727-581-1500 ext. 1.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, was born in a log cabin in Hardin (now LaRue) County, Kentucky. On this date: In 1554, Lady Jane Grey, who had claimed the throne of England for nine days, and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were beheaded after being condemned for high treason. In 1818, Chile officially proclaimed its independence, more than seven years after initially renouncing Spanish rule. In 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded. In 1914, groundbreak- ing took place for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1915, the cornerstone was laid for the Lincoln Memorial. In 1924, George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” premiered in New York. In 1942, painter Grant Wood, creator of “American Gothic,” died in Iowa City, Iowa, a day before his 51st birthday. In 1959, the redesigned Lincoln penny — with an image of the Lincoln Memorial replacing two ears of wheat on the reverse side — went into circulation. In 1963, a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 720 broke up during severe turbulence and crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing all 43 people aboard. In 1973, Operation Homecoming began as the first release of American prisoners of war from the Vietnam conflict took actor David Kelly (“Waking Ned Devine”) died in Dublin at age 82.

The Meigs boys basketball team made a pivotal 7-1 run over the final five minutes of regulation Friday night and ultimately escaped with a 42-37 win over host Wellston in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup in Jackson County. The Marauders (12-8, 7-3 TVC Ohio) claimed a season sweep of the Golden Rockets (5-15, 2-9) after posting an easy 76-44 decision back on January 20 at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, but nothing about the rematch was easy. WHS led 12-10 after eight minutes of play, but the guests responded with a 14-9 second quarter run that resulted in a slim 24-21 edge for the Maroon and Gold at the break. The Blue and Gold, however, battled back with a pivotal 13-8 surge in the third canto, which resulted in a 34-32 Wellston advantage headed into the finale. Clinging to a narrow 36-35 lead with 5:08 remaining, WHS committed three consecutive turnovers that resulted in points. MHS also netted 5-of-8 free throws in the final 1:50 of regulation to help seal the deal on a 10-3 fourth quarter run that resulted in a five-point triumph. The Blue and Gold outrebounded the guests by a 31-28 overall margin, but the Marauders committed only five of the 20 total turnovers in the contest. Meigs connected on 15-of-46 field goal attempts for 33 percent, including a 3-of-21 effort from behind the arc for 14 percent. MHS was also 9-of16 at the free throw line for 56 percent. Zach Bartrum led the Maroon and Gold with 12 points, followed by Luke Musser with 11 points and Dillon Mahr with six markers. Weston Baer was next with five points, while Jared Kennedy added four markers. Christian Mattox and Zach Helton completed the winning tally with two points apiece. Kennedy hauled in a team-best 10 rebounds and seven steals as well. The Golden Rockets netted 15-of-40 shot attempts for 38 percent, including a 5-of-16 effort from behind the arc for 31 percent. The hosts were also 2-of-4 at the charity stripe for 50 percent.

Wahama, which completed the season sweep of South Gallia, raised its record to 8-10 — and an even 7-7 in the league. The Rebels almost pulled off the defensive grinder — or was it more poor offense by both squads? There were six ties and nine lead changes —with Hoffman’s heroics resulting in the final lead change. The White Falcons shot 20-of-47 (43-percent), while South Gallia connected on 18-of-41 (44-percent). Both teams attempted 13 three-pointers —with Wahama making six and the Rebels netting five. Although the secondhalf fouls reached to six for both clubs, South Gallia was 3-of-6 from the free-throw line —while the White Falcons were 1-of-2 on a fourth-quarter split by Travis Kearns. The game’s first points finally came with fourand-a-half minutes to play in the first quarter, as Wahama led 9-8 after one — before enduring a fourminute and 15-second scoring drought in the second stanza. “I made a comment to one of the officials about halfway through the first quarter when nobody had scored yet that this game might end up 2-1,” said Bradley. “It was a slow offensive night, but we gutted it out and did what we had to do in the end.” Wahama held a 17-13 advantage with five minutes to play in the second period, but the Rebels responded with 11 unanswered points — staking their largest lead at 24-17 with a minute remaining. For the next nine minutes, however, the Rebels’ only points were a Caleb Henry basket and an Eli Ellis three-ball. “We missed a lot of easy shots, easy layups in the first half. We were up 24-17 and it felt like it should have been 30-17,” said Howell. “It’s been the same thing game after game that has come back to bite us in the butt.” Abram Pauley popped a three to snap the White Falcons’ second-period drought —making it 24-20 at halftime.

We came out and started slow, so we really challenged the girls at halftime to finish strong … and they did,” Justice said. “We made some big free throws down the stretch and we did a really good job of finishing this one out. “It’s definitely a good win for our team and a good night for our seniors. We can take some momentum from this into tournament play.” Portsmouth led 11-10 after eight minutes of play, but a Hunter Copley trifecta at the 3:03 mark of the second capped a small 9-7 run that led to a permanent Gallia Academy cushion at 19-18.

They outscored the Eagles 54-7 in the middle two quarters —leading 76-15 following three. With the win, OVCS improved to 14-9. The Eagles only shot 21-percent (12-of-57), including a paltry 2-of-19 from long range. OVCS also out- rebounded Sugar Creek 45-18. In addition to Ragan’s 38, Dante Lewis —with his first career doubledouble of 13 rebounds — followed with 15 points. He sank six field goals and made 3-of-5 free throws. Hollis Morrison and Justin Beaver bucketed 10 points apiece, followed by six from Andrew Dubs —and four apiece by Michael Gruber and Asher Peck.

She scored three field goals in each of the opening two periods, along with the three foul shots for the early 15. Cundiff, on four threepointers and a fourthquarter two, helped the Purple and Gold get the margin to double figures for the final 7:33. With the win, Southern —which traveled to Trimble on Saturday (Feb. 11) for a TVCHocking makeup matchup —improved to 11-9, and 8-7 in the league. The loss ended South Gallia’s regular season — at 4-18 and 2-14 in the division. Southern swept the Lady Rebels, which defeated Wahama for their only league wins. The Red and Gold, however, did pose an early threat to the Tornadoes on Thursday. The Lady Rebels erased an early 4-0 deficit, scoring seven of the last nine first-frame counters to lead 7-6 after one. South Gallia gained a 10-6 advantage only 15 seconds into the second stanza — on an Erin Evans three-pointer — but the Rebels endured a two-and-a-half minute scoring drought, as Southern scored eight unanswered to lead 14-10. South Gallia got to within 16-14 on an Evans free throw, but the Tornadoes doubled up the Rebels 8-4 over the final 3:07. Macie Michael made a three-pointer, Teaford had a rebound putback, and finally Teaford tacked on an old-fashioned three-point play to make it 24-16 with 1:48 before halftime. In the third quarter, three of Cundiff’s threeballs ballooned the lead to 36-23, as Baylee Wolfe tossed in one as well. The Rebels got no closer than 30-23 with 2:40 to play in the period, as their 36-28 deficit was stretched to double figures for the remainder of the night — thanks to Cundiff’s fourth and final three. Southern held an 18-13 advantage in total field goals, including a crucial 6-2 edge in treys. Wolfe, with two second-quarter deuces, wound up with seven points — as Sierra Cleland’s bucket at the 5:05 mark made it 16-12. Only four Lady Rebels reached the scoring column, paced by Evans with 11 points on two twos and two threes. Olivia Hornsby, on four field goals and a second-quarter foul shot, and Amaya Howell —on three field goals and 3-of-4 freebies — netted nine points. Aaliyah Howell had six points on two fourthquarter field goals and 2-of-6 foul shots. The contest also marked Senior Night activities at South Gallia High School, as seniors Amelie Spitze and Irene Santos — —both foreign-exchange students —were recognized.

Lady Vikings rally past River Valley, 48-39 BIDWELL, Ohio — When the fourth quarter came, the Lady Vikings played their best. The River Valley girls basketball team led TriValley Conference Ohio Division guest Vinton County by three points after three quarters, on Thursday night in Gallia County. However, the Lady Vikings outscored their host 21-to-9 over the final eight minutes, as VCHS stormed to the 48-39 victory. The Lady Vikings (10-12, 6-6 TVC Ohio) led by a 5-2 count, midway through the first quarter, but River Valley (2-20, 2-10) answered with a 9-0 run, giving the Lady Raiders a six-point lead with 1:30 left in the first. VCHS scored the final five points of the first quarter and the first five points of the second quarter, giving the Lady Vikings a 14-11 lead with five minutes left in the half. Vinton County led by as much as six in the period and led 22-18 at halftime. The Lady Vikings expanded their lead to seven points, with a trifecta to open the second half. However, River Valley answered with an 11-0 run, giving the hosts a 29-25 lead by the midway point of the third quarter. Neither team made a field goal over the final four minutes of the third, with VCHS sinking two free throws and River Valley making one from the stripe, to Tornadoes �SPORTS 4B Sunday, February 12, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Spartans storm past Lady Marauders By Paul Boggs —spearheaded by a 23-5 advantage at the opening stop.

With the win, Alexander ended its regular season at an impressive 19-3 — with a perfect 12-0 TVC-Ohio record. The Lady Spartans swept Meigs, which finished its regular campaign at 12-10 — and 8-4 in the division. The Maroon and Gold did finish in third-place in the league. This season’s Spartans captured every league bout by at least 15 points —including by an average score of 65-27. The Lady Marauders lost at Alexander in the initial meeting, 66-24. The victory also upped Alexander’s league winning streak to 17. Speaking of 17, it is Alexander’s 17th TVC title in girls basketball — including 13 outright and 10 in the Ohio Division. The Spartans shot a sizzling 26-of-58 (45-percent), including 12-of-26 (46-percent) from threepoint range, and collected 16 assists. Meigs — meanwhile — struggled mightily in making only 11-of-56 for 20-percent, including a mere 2-of-21 from deep. Rachel Richardson paced all scorers with 20 points, as she (six) and McKena Rice (three) combined for all but three of the team’s trfiectas.

The contest also marked Senior Night at Meigs High School, as Hatfield, Morris, Colburn and Courtney Jones were honored before the game.

It is basically the right thing to do, and it’s pretty easy. Residents in both counties have their choice of 17 different places to drop off their recycling. In Meigs County, recycling bins are located in Middleport, at the Municipal Building Parking Lot on Pearl Street; Pomeroy, on Hiland Road near state Route 7; Syracuse, at the roadside park on Third Street (state Route 124); Racine, on Third Street at the village garage/ water building near Star and at the VinMill Park; Salem ton VFD on Clay Center Volunteer Street.

Sadly I think many people consider or believe the recycling containers to be dumpsters, because there is usually a lot of trash in them. They are not for garbage, and putting your trash in them is littering. I’ve seen furniture, mattresses, televisions, carpet, and you-name-it placed in or even just near the containers. The GJMV Solid Waste District offers the following tips for using the drop off boxes: place materials in the container loose. If you use plastic bags to transport your items, please reuse your bags; do not overfill the containers or place anything outside of them; close the lid or door when you are done to prevent stuff from blowing out and help keep the site clean. It’s too easy – just put your stuff in a reusable tote and when your tote is full just stop by and dump it in. No sorting. If the containers are full, just wait a few days. You may be amazed at how much less trash you are putting out for collection, trash that would be going into a landfill instead of being reused.

Reds hope they’ve stabilized with better rotation, bullpen 60702794 It seems hard to believe but there are still people around here that don’t know recycling is available in Meigs and Gallia counties. In both counties the recycling program is administered by the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs-Vinton (GJMV) Solid Waste District which has had a contract with Rumpke Waste & Recycling to handle the recycling containers since Jan. 1, 2014 (at least in Meigs County). Prior to that time the recycling program in Meigs County was administered by the Meigs County Litter Control Office and then the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District. I don’t want to preach about all the reasons you should recycle, but just be aware that it con- CINCINNATI (AP) — When the Reds appeared to be finally finished trading away top players, they made one more deal that reminded everyone they’re not quite there yet. By sending Dan Straily — their top starter from 2016 — to the Marlins for three prospects last month, Cincinnati showed that it’s still in the midst of a massive rebuilding project. There could be a few deals ahead as they get ready to start the 2017 season as a work in progress. “You really have to make decisions with the long term in mind,” said Dick Williams, who moves into the role of general manager this season. “I am committed to bring us back to championship baseball, and you’ve got to take risks.” A healthy rotation and a respectable bullpen would go a long way. The Reds opened last season with five starters on the disabled list — Straily stepped into the void and won a team-high 14 games — and they became competitive when the rotation became healthy. They went 36-37 after the AllStar break — a small but significant step. Cincinnati invested most of its offseason spending on a bullpen that was one of the worst in major league history. With an everyday lineup anchored by Billy Hamilton and Joey Votto, they have enough offense to keep up. �CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Notices NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

McIntyre was one of the first syndicated columnists Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, thoughts turn to those we love which is not limited to significant others. For one of Gallia County’s most famous sons, a special person in his life was his grandmother, Mary Joan Jones McIntyre. Oscar Odd McIntyre has been dubbed by some to be a pioneer in modern pop culture reporting and one of the first syndicated columnists in the country. The Gallipolisarea newspapers during McIntyre’s time would publish his columns on the front page. With a tribute to McIntyre coming to the Ariel Theatre, the Tribune asked the Gallia County Historical Society for permission to reprint a selected text of McIntyre’s from a collection of short stories and columns compiled and annotated by the late Dr. Laura E. Kratz. What follows is the reprinted work of McIntyre as he describes his feelings for his grandmother, who was integral to his upbringing. The picture on the opposite page is of my Grandmother McIntyre. My mother-in-law brought it with her the other day on her return from a visit to my home town, and what a Niagara rush of pleasant memories it inspires! She was eighty-two years old at the time this picture was taken and lived more than four years after that. Grandma Mclntyre was the only mother I have ever known. Just a flicker of remembrance — like a shimmer of waves of wheat — of my mother remains. I especially recall the last time I saw my mother because my father acted so strangely. He took my sister Katie and me by the hands and led us upstairs to my mother’s bedroom. She was seemingly asleep — very white and very beautiful. My father hugged us to him and wept; I had never seen him cry before. A few days later he took us on a long train ride from the little town in Missouri to the little town in Ohio where my grandmother lived. I remember he wore an odd black band around his hat and rarely spoke. Now and then he would quickly wipe his eyes. I loved my grandmother from the very first. She understood children better than anyone I have ever observed since. She was even then an old lady with a young heart. Everything about her was pretty to me — even her euphonious maiden name of Joan Jones. She was born in the sleepy little town of Malden, West Virginia, on the tranquil Kanawha. She met my grandfather, a young tinner who had migrated from Scotland, Dean Wright | OVP Here is a memorial stone bench in front of O.O.

By Anick Jesdanun AP Technology Writer NEW YORK — The Google Chromebook, a type of strippeddown laptop, isn’t a practical mobile device for many people — mostly because it basically turns into an expensive paperweight whenever it can’t find a Wi-Fi connection. Yet Chromebooks have defied expectations and made major inroads in an unexpected environment — U.S. schools. In retrospect, that shouldn’t be too surprising. Chromebooks are cheap and easy to manage, making them popular with budget-constrained schools with limited tech-support staff. And Wi-Fi is now common enough in U.S. schools and homes to make an internet-dependent device practical for students. Google doesn’t want to stop there. It’s releasing new models in partnership with Samsung that are designed to appeal to a broader range of consumers. They have several tablet-like features, including a stylus, touch controls and a 360-degree hinge that allows you to turn the screen faceup. One starts selling Sunday for $449; a more powerful version comes out in April for $100 more. Google and its manufacturing partners are trying to shed the Chromebook’s perception as underperforming budget devices. But even with premium models, expanding beyond U.S. schools won’t be easy.

McIntyre’s grave overlooking the Ohio River and his hometown of Gallipolis. McIntyre “Is my little man going girling tonight?” How I suffered! From page 1C The last time I saw grandma I had rushed home for a brief downstairs and would between-the-trains revamp an old couplet visit and was what she and sing: “Oddie Poddie Puddin’ called a grown man, and Pie, Kissed the girls trying to make my way in the world. Years of and made them cry!” And it seemed to me I hard work, bearing her would suddenly become children and rearing her children’s children, all knuckles and teeth. Then, as though she had coupled with extreme no idea I was anywhere old age, had left their ineluctable imprint — a around, she would clouded mind. inquire archly: She called me “Georgie,” the name she called her youngest son, long dead. With a suffocating lump in my throat, I sat beside her chair, holding her gnarled, withered hand trying to touch off a spark of memory that would make her recall the boy she had’ ‘rais- ed.” It was hopelessly futile. She just rocked gently and clung to my hand. Now and then she mumbled pathetically: ”’You won’t go away again, will you, Georgie?” The depot hack pulled up at the door and I had to leave. I stooped over and kissed her dry, bloodless lips and she gave me a quick, convulsive hug accompanied by a sudden faint and startled cry. I should like to think that for a brief second in that embrace the cry was an echo of recognition rumbling down the haunting corridors of memory, but I fear it was not so. I waved to her through the hack window as Tom Holmes clucked to his horses. Grandma lifted a weary hand automatically and with no light of recognition whatever. It was the nearest my heart ever came to breaking. I was never to see her again in this world.
