POMEROY — A former treasurer of the Eastern Music Boosters was sentenced to community control on Wednesday after pleading guilty last month to the theft of funds from the organization. Lisa B. Victory, 40, of Coolville, appeared in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday morning to be sentenced on the ﬁfth-degree felony charge of theft. Plea negotiations in the case initially recommended Victory be placed on diversion, a recommendation which Judge I. Carson Crow stated at both the plea hearing and the sentencing hearing he would not accept. Crow sentenced Victory to ﬁve years of community control with a 12 month underlying sentence. Additionally, she is to serve 45 days of local incarceration, serving time on the weekends as arranged with the jail. She is also not permitted to handle funds for any organizations. Prior to sentencing, Eastern Music Booster President Jenny Ridenour read a statement which was prepared by the Music Boosters, along with the school administrations. “We feel that the amount that was taken from the music boosters was much more because cash from concerts, concession sales, and popcorn sales has no record of being deposited into the account,” said Ridenour. “Due to the lack of funds during Mrs. Victory’s involvement with the music boosters, the music program could not participate in contests like, solo and ensemble, and other large group contests. Equipment was not repaired or replaced. The marching band could not go to away football games. Music trips were paid for by parents or students did not go.” “The kids do not realize See SENTENCED | 5A International flight under investigation after landing at OU airport Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com ALBANY — An international aircraft is under investigation at the Ohio University Airport, according to a release from the Ohio University Police Department on Wednesday afternoon. The release states that at around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday OUPD was notiﬁed by the Department of Homeland Security that an international aircraft was landing at the Ohio University Airport without proper authorization. Once on the ground, the pilot of the aircraft reportedly advised that he was traveling through United States airspace when a mechanical problem forced him to land unexpectedly. As the OU airport is not a port of entry, Customs and Border Protection requested the occupants of the aircraft be detained until federal agents could respond. As of 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, ofﬁcers from the Ohio University Police Department remained at the airport to assist federal agents as they investigate the matter.

Leeza Bartles, 22, of Bidwell, Ralph Young Jr., 38, of Bidwell and Lacey Young, 29, of Middleport, were all charged with gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence crimes in connection with the discovery of the remains of Terry Rothgeb, 55, of Gallipolis. Deputies discovered the body of Rothgeb in Gallia County’s Springﬁeld Township Feb. 12 at 2 a.m. after having received a missing person report the same day. “The individuals in this case have been indicted,” said Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin. “They have not been taken into custody yet. We are looking for information from anybody that would like to share information with us about their whereabouts.” Investigators believe Rothgeb did not die where he was found in Springﬁeld Township and that his body was potentially moved. “Mr. Rothgeb was discovered after he was reported by his family as missing,” said Champlin. “We conducted a lengthy investigation into his whereabouts. Through the course of that investigation, we were able to develop some suspects. Through interviewing those suspects, one of those suspects provided us with information in regards to the whereabouts of the body.” Law enforcement ofﬁcials would come upon Rothgeb’s form and currently believe his death to be due to drug overdose. Investigators returned to where they believe Rothgeb originally died at a residence in the Rodney area, according to Champlin. “At the time the body was discovered and the investigation was conducted, the scene had been cleaned and all the evidence from the scene had been removed, hence the tampering with evidence charges,” said Champlin. “The tampering with evidence charge in this case is based on the crime scene. No tampering with the actual body is believed to have happened. The abuse of the corpse charge is based on (the belief) the body was removed from its original surroundings where the death occurred, basically (hampering) the ofﬁce from conducting an investigation on the death.” Law enforcement believes three See CORPSE | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2A Thursday, March 30, 2017 OBITUARIES Daily Sentinel MEIGS BRIEFS CECIL H.

In reality, an executive order is not nearly enough to curb the losses coal has faced. For coal jobs to truly make a comeback, the corporate interests that are automating miners out of their jobs would have to stop doing so. The abundant natural gas that resulted from more domestic exploration under the Obama administration would have to dry up. Renewable energy’s soaring popularity would have to take a nosedive. None of that is likely to happen, and the coal industry knows it. Oh, yes, the 25 coal miners who attended Tuesday’s signing might get jobs, the global warming skeptics in the Trump administration will do a happy dance, and corporate coal interests will see proﬁts surge because they won’t have to outﬁt their coal-burning power plants to protect our air. But the rest of us will get what we’ve always gotten in America: an environmental class war. That’s because environmental dangers are more likely to be concentrated in communities populated by the impoverished and people of color. And just like any other class war in this country, wealthy corporate interests will put working-class whites on the front lines. In this case, the pawns will be coal miners. As the Trump administration spouts rhetoric about reviving the coal industry, those miners will be sent to the front lines to sacriﬁce their bodies for the beneﬁt of their corporate masters. But that’s not the way Trump tells it. “The miners told me about the attacks on their jobs and their livelihoods,” Trump said during the signing ceremony. “They told me about the efforts to shut down their mines, their communities, and their very way of life. I made them this promise: We will put our miners back to work.” All the talk of protecting miners’ livelihoods and restoring their way of life sounds inspiring. That is, until we learn what that way of life actually entails. Coal miners not only face injury caused by falling rocks and other hazards they confront in dangerous mines; too often, the very air they breathe is killing them. A 2011 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that “exposure to coal mine dust causes various pulmonary diseases, including coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).” In that study, the CDC “America will indeed be great again. We just won’t be able to breathe.” noted that coal miners were getting these diseases before age 50, and that those diseases, among others, lead to disability and premature death. And despite Trump’s claim that Obama-era regulations are killing the coal industry, the reality is that the coal industry’s failure to follow regulations created nearly 50 years ago is killing their workers. “The above individuals would have been employed all of their working lives in environmental conditions mandated by the 1969 Coal Mine Health and Safety Act,” said the CDC study. Unfortunately, the coal industry has too often put proﬁts before people. And if proﬁt means miners lose 15 or 20 years of productivity as a result, so be it. There are always other impoverished, unskilled workers to take their place. The Trump administration, through this executive order, has again shown that it shares that mindset. Unfortunately, the damage will extend far beyond the coal miners. If their families live near the mines and coal-burning power plants, they will be hurt, as well. It’s happened before. A 2008 study called “Relations between Health Indicators and Residential Proximity to Coal Mining in West Virginia,” found that the 14 West Virginia counties housing the biggest coal-mining operations had higher rates of cardiopulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes, and lung and kidney disease. Don’t worry, though. If Trump is to be believed, we can weather the harm done to coal miners, their families and anyone else living near coal facilities. And we won’t have to worry about greenhouse gases hastening global warming and submerging our cities beneath melted glaciers. That’s because, in the mind of our president, global warming is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese to put Americans at a competitive disadvantage. So even if the coal industry belches black smoke skyward, destroys the ozone layer and enables the sun to burn every living thing to a crisp, we’ll die happy. In Trump’s mind, the competitive advantage we’ll gain against the Chinese will make us the envy of every industrialized nation. The pollution masks we’ll design for our children will be way better than the ones they wear in Beijing. America will indeed be great again. We just won’t be able to breathe.

THEIR VIEW The congressmen and the counselor By Cal Thomas Contributing columnist Tony Hall served in Congress for 24 years, representing Ohio’s 3rd District. The Democrat left in 2002 to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, appointed by President George W. Bush. Hall laments how corrosive contemporary politics has become and tells me he couldn’t get elected in today’s environment. Partially, he says, it is because he is pro-life and a supporter of traditional marriage, but mainly there are at least two things that have changed for the worse since he was in Congress: “One is that congressmen don’t live (in Washington) anymore. We were told probably 15 years ago not to bring our families here, but to leave them at home. That was a mistake.” Hall says that suggestion came from Speaker Newt Gingrich and the Democrats followed “and they shouldn’t have.” The reasoning behind that, he says, is that members felt getting elected was the most important thing, “so they come in Monday night, or Tuesday morning, and leave Thursday. They don’t know each other and then run against Washington. They don’t build relationships, wives don’t know each other; the men don’t know each other.” Their families suffer, he says, because they aren’t spending enough time with them and the country suffers because they don’t spend much time with each other. The second change is members of Congress no longer travel overseas as much as they once did. They fear their trips might be labeled “junkets,” which some were, so they don’t acquire the necessary knowledge of other countries, nor do they get to know each other from spending time together. Then there’s the extravagant amounts of money that must be raised to win re-election. This requires that members of Congress take time to “dial for dollars” by going to their respec- tive party headquarters and spending two or more hours a day asking for donations. Hall and former Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) have developed a rare friendship that began when they served in Congress together and which continues today. Hall says the key to their relationship has been their common Christian faith: “When you pray together it’s pretty difﬁcult to go out on the House ﬂoor and denounce the other person.” They didn’t talk politics in their meetings and meals for the ﬁrst two years “because that would have divided us.” What difference does this make when it comes to legislation one party supports and the other opposes? “Over a period of time,” Hall says, “you begin to trust one another and when you trust one another you ﬁnd you do have common ground.” In addition to pro-life and traditional marriage, he lists hunger issues and gambling as subjects about which they have similar views. This led, he says, to his contributing to Wolf’s re-election campaigns, which angered some of his Democratic colleagues. Asked if Wolf reciprocated, Hall laughs and says, “I don’t think so, but he had tougher races than I did.” Dr. Phil McGraw, a psychologist and host of the syndicated TV show “Dr. Phil,” echoed Hall in an essay he wrote for Variety in January. McGraw offered this advice to Congress: “Stop ﬁghting with and trying to trip up the other side. Start doing only those things that help people. Stop the games, the obstruction, the chest pounding and the ‘my party is better than your party’ stuff. Stop treating voters like idiots and start doing your job: Working for us. From our point of view, there is only one side. Maybe the answer to the dysfunction in Washington is mandatory therapy from Dr. Phil and testimonies from Tony Hall and Frank Wolf on what the results can look like. Nothing else seems to be working.

In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited denying citizens the right to vote and hold ofﬁce on the basis of race, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. Texas was readmitted to the Union. In 1923, the Cunard liner RMS Laconia became the ﬁrst passenger ship to circle the globe as it arrived in New York. In 1945, during World War II, the Soviet Union invaded Austria with the goal of taking Vienna, which it accomplished two weeks later. In 1959, a narrowly divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Bartkus v. Illinois, ruled that a conviction in state court following an acquittal in federal court for the same crime did not constitute double jeopardy. In 1964, John Glenn withdrew from the Ohio race for the U.S. Senate because of injuries suffered in a fall. The original version of the TV game show “Jeopardy!” hosted by Art Fleming, premiered on NBC. In 1975, as the Vietnam War neared its end, Communist forces occupied the city of Da Nang. James Ruppert, 41, killed 11 members of his family at his mother’s home in Hamilton, Ohio, on Easter Sunday. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and THOUGHT FOR TODAY “Prophecy, however honest, is generally a poor substitute for experience.” — Benjamin N.

Nursing students learn about hospice program By Jessica Marcum Special to the Sentinel ROCKSPRINGS — Hospice is a charged word in our society, bringing to mind end of life, sadness, and the loss of hope that a loved one will survive their illness. The reality of the services that hospice provides is much greater. The Health Technology students at Meigs High School were introduced to the full range of care that hospice provides during a presentation at the school on Friday, March 24. Michelle Reven, Volunteer Coordinator for Medi Home Hospice presented a small seminar on hospice care, outlining the services that hospice provide. Students also participated in an activity designed to give them an idea of the losses that a chronically ill or terminally ill person loses over the course of their illness. Each student chose objects, people, experiences, and activities that are important to them. Over the course of a short tale placing the students in the shoes of a terminally ill person, they were required to give up one thing after Submitted by HarbisonWalker International.

As an exercise in opening one’s eyes to the reality of the everyday effects of terminal illness and what patients lose over the course of their illness and treatment, it was incredibly effective. Contrary to popular belief, hospice care is not necessarily only for patients who are nearing the end of their life. The truth, however, is that hospice can greatly improve the quality of life for those who have been diagnosed with a lifelimiting illness and are in need of the service. It is even possible for people to graduate from hospice care after experiencing a debilitating illness, if the care provided helps to improve their condition to a point where hospice is no longer necessary. Besides medical needs, hospice also tends to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients. Volunteers may sit with patients, read to them, help to make audio or written journals, or sim- ply provide company for a few hours. Chaplains are available to provide for spiritual needs. Volunteers are an integral part of a hospice program, from patient interactions to help with ofﬁce work and fundraising. If you are interested in volunteering with Medi Home Hospice, you may contact Michelle Reven, Volunteer Coordinator, toll-free at 1-800-5335848.

In a game shorten to six innings due to darkness, the Meigs baseball team suffered its ﬁrst loss of the season, falling to nonconference host Waterford by a 6-2 count, on Tuesday in Washington County. After a scoreless opening inning, Waterford (3-1) broke through in the bottom of the second when Riley Burns doubled, advanced to third on a wild pitch and then scored on a Brock Hayes ground out. Meigs (2-1) tied the game in the top of the third frame as Michael Kesterson drew a lead off walk and later scored on a double steal. The Marauders failed to take the lead, however, stranding a runner on third base.

Blue Devils down Big Blacks, 8-3 By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W. Va. — Simply put, the young Blue Devils decided to utilize ‘smallball’ in a big way. That’s because Gallia Academy —not by hook or by crook but rather by steals, sacriﬁces and even a squeeze — amassed an 8-3 non-league baseball victory over host Point Pleasant on Tuesday night. In scoring in four of the seven innings, the Blue Devils decided to bunt at least once in all four frames. In those four innings, they successfully sacriﬁced at least once, including squeezing for a ﬁrst-inning marker that made it 2-0 to set the tone. But the Blue Devils’ defense took over late, especially when Point Pleasant pushed towards a comeback bid. In the ﬁnal three stanzas, after Gallia Academy amounted a 5-0 advantage and relief pitcher Kaden Thomas took over for starter Josh Faro, the Blue Devils twice threw out the Big Blacks on the basepaths — sandwiched in between a pair of double plays. In the seventh, Gallia Academy opened up an 8-2 advantage —by taking advantage of backto-back leadoff hit batsmen, a ﬁnal sacriﬁce bunt, and a pair of initial at-bat RBI-basehits. In fact, senior Quinton Yarger came off the bench to pinch hit with two outs — and promptly smacked a two-run single into right ﬁeld to make it 8-2. Given the dynamic of this season’s squad, the Blue Devils did their jobs as they were supposed to on Tuesday. As a result, Gallia Academy is 2-0 —after opening the season with a 4-3 win over Washington Court House on Saturday night. “That’s (small-ball) what we’re going to have to do,” said GAHS coach Rich Corvin. “That’s going to be the characteristics and signature of this team. Playing that kind of baseball right there. This was a great team effort. I think we utilized everybody we had here. Either through a courtesy runner (for pitcher or catcher under West Virginia state rules) or a pinch hit or however. But we used everybody, and that’s what we’re going to have to have.” But it starts, and ends, with the “small-ball” approach. After a scoreless ﬁrst in which both clubs were retired 1-2-3 by each other’s ace pitchers, the Blue Devils decided to go small off the Big Blacks’ Abe Stearns in the second. John Stout led off with a walk and stole second, then Faro sacriﬁced himself to move Stout to third. Brody Thomas then scored Stout on an inﬁeld hit, before Cole Davis doubled down the Point Pleasant catcher Miles Williams fires a throw to first base as Abe Stearns (5) backs up the play during the Big Blacks’ baseball game against Gallia Academy on Tuesday night. left-ﬁeld line. With Davis at second and Thomas at third, designated hitter Adam Sickles squeezed home Thomas on a well-executed bunt. In the fourth, Davis led off with a single to left, then Sickels sacriﬁced again —advancing Davis to third. Davis then scored on an RBI- groundout by Dylan Smith, making it 3-0. “The ‘small-ball’ is a big factor in baseball, and they were able to execute a lot of bunts. We just didn’t compete well with the ‘small-ball’. We’re growing every day and getting better every day, but that’s one thing we have to work on,” See DEVILS | 8B Receivers standing out as OSU retools passing game Ross D. Franklin | AP Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell (21) escapes the reach of Clemson linebacker Chad Smith (43) during the first half of the Fiesta Bowl NCAA college football playoff semifinal last Dec. 31 in Glendale, Ariz. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that Parris Campbell is distinguishing himself at receiver, and K.J. Hill, Terry McLaurin and Binjimen Victor also are getting noticed as the Buckeyes work to improve their passing game this spring. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that Parris Campbell is distinguishing himself at receiver, and K.J. Hill, Terry McLaurin and Binjimen Victor are right behind him as the Buckeyes try to breathe some life back into their passing game this spring. The four wide receivers, along with Austin Mack and Johnnie Dixon, all saw playing time and showed ﬂashes of talent last year, but none broke out as a top playmaker or reliable deep threat as expected. Meyer needs that to change next season, especially after the departure of the team’s two top receivers, H-back Curtis Samuel and wideout Noah Brown. Campbell, a rising junior who had 13 catches for 121 yards last year, is working at the hybrid running back/receiver position vacated by Samuel. Campbell, Meyer said, “is that guy right now.” “He’s one of my favorite players,” Meyer said at the halfway point of the team’s spring practice, which culminates in the spring game April 15. “He’s so unselﬁsh, he goes so hard. He deserves a great year. He’s one our best playmakers right now.” COMPETITION AT RUNNING BACK: Mike Weber, a 1,000-yard running back as a freshman last year, is still locked in as No. 1 on the depth chart, but there has been some movement behind him this spring. Freshman and early enrollee J.K. Dobbins has leapt sophomore Antonio Williams into the spot behind Weber. Dobbins, a four-star signee from La Grange, Texas, is battling sophomore Demario McCall for practice reps as Williams continues to recover from a hamstring injury, Meyer said. “The best thing that can happen is competition,” he said. “We didn’t have any last year (at running back).” SPEAKING OF INJURIES: Meyer said freshman linebacker Baron Browning suffered a shoulder injury and will have surgery. But Browning is expected to be 100 percent by June and should be good to go for the fall. He’s a highly touted earlyenrollee from Kennedale, Texas, who is expected to push for playing time in an See OSU | 8B �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 2B Thursday, March 30, 2017 Daily Sentinel Leonard scores 25 as Spurs dismantle ailing Cavs, 103-74 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Cavaliers acknowledged having heavy legs, yet there is something far weightier on the minds of the defending NBA champions. Cleveland is in the midst of one of its worst stretches this season and there is little time to ﬁx it. Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points and the San Antonio Spurs dismantled the ailing Cavs 103-74 on Monday night in a much-anticipated showdown that turned into a major letdown for Cleveland. “The way we’ve been struggling, (the Spurs are) the last team that you want to play,” said LeBron James, who was ﬁne after taking an elbow to the neck. “A well-oiled machine like this, they exploit everything that you’re not doing well at that point in time of the season and right now we’re not playing good basket- Help Wanted General ball.” James, who ﬁnished with 17 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in 29 minutes, said he will play Thursday at Chicago. Cleveland (47-26) dropped its second in a row, set a season low for points and fell a half-game behind Boston (48-26) for the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Cavaliers have nine games remaining, all against teams in the East, including a visit to Boston on April 5. James said the standings “always matter,” but playing more consistently is far more important and he refused to blame injuries or an arduous schedule for the team’s troubles. “It matters more that we’re playing better basketball than where we’re at,” he said. “If that results in us having the No. 1 seed, the No. 2 seed, 3 Yard Sale Garage Sales 1608 Graham School Rd Gallipolis, Oh. lots of new items, furniture, clothing, hunting equipment,items for the home inside & out priced very reasonable. 3-31 and 4-1 8am-5pm $$$$$$$$$ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with Pomeroy Daily Sentinel?? s Be your own boss s 5 day delivery s Delivery times is approx. 3 hours daily s Must be 18 years of age s Must have a valid driver’s license, dependable vehicle & provide proof of insurance s Must provide your own substitute OPERATE YOUR OWN BUSINESS WITH POTENTIAL REVENUE OVER $1,000 PER MONTH For more information please email Tyler Wolfe at twolfe@civitasmedia.com or apply in person at 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH Mon-Fri 8:30 am - 4:30 pm $$$$$$$$$ Moving Sale 645 Fairview Rd.

A beautiful lawn is a goal for many homeowners. Some homeowners may ﬁnd that lovely lawns may last momentarily, only to disappear when damage — be it pest-, weather- or child-related — sets in. While well-established turf can be resilient, even the most well-maintained lawns can be vulnerable. Preventing lawn damage ﬁrst involves getting to the root of the problem. Lack of sunlight: All plants need the proper ratio of sunlight to grow. Too much sunlight and plant blades can scorch. Too little sunlight and grass may turn brown and die. Although there are shade-tolerant varieties of grass, homeowners also can explore alternative landscapes. Work in a garden bed or create a design that utilizes gravel or mulch. Avoid aggressively pruning back trees to give the lawn more sunlight in that area, as this may just damage the trees. Chemical spills: Gasoline and fertilizer spills and pesticide applications in high concentrations can cause the lawn to yellow or brown in spots. Carefully reﬁll lawn gas tanks and fertilizer spreaders on the sidewalk or driveway to avoid Mowing patterns: Running the mower in the same pattern over and over can cause ruts in the grass that lead to damage, so avoid mowing in the same direction on consecutive cuts. Avoid mowing on very hot days or when the lawn is soggy. Both can cause tracks to form in the lawn. Mowers: Dull lawn mower blades can damage lawns, as can mowing too fast. Grass blades can be torn, snapped and more, resulting in brown spots. Running the mower in the same pattern over and over can cause ruts in the grass that lead to damage. overﬂow onto the lawn. If spills occur, ﬂood the area promptly with water to dilute. tion. If a certain area has become the de facto pathway, install a paver, gravel or concrete walkway in that spot. Foot traffic: Lawns can take a pounding from foot trafﬁc, leading to compaction and spots of dead lawn. Try to redirect the trafﬁc elsewhere to give worn down areas a break. Aeration can relieve soil compac- Debris: Leaving a tool, kids’ toys, piece of wood, or any debris on the lawn can quickly suffocate the grass beneath and cause the lawn to die quickly. Make sure that no items are left on the Wildlife: Animals and insects can destroy turf roots. Animals or insects may feed on the grass from underneath its surface, compromising the lawn’s ability to procure nutrients and water. Animals like moles or raccoons may feed on grubs in the lawn, and treating for grubs can alleviate torn-up turf. Lawns can be hearty, but they’re also highly susceptible to damage. Even seemingly harmless things can compromise the integrity of a lawn. Understanding the causes of lawn damage can help homeowners protect their lawns. Treating lawns during drought or dry periods “Drought” can be a four-letter word to many lawncare enthusiasts. Homeowners who put in the hours and hard work to create beautiful, lush lawns can see the fruits of all their labor gradually disappear when drought sets in. That can be both frustrating to homeowners and detrimental to longterm lawn health. Treating lawns during drought or dry periods can be tricky, as some homeowners may be forced to adhere to water restrictions established by their local governments. Still, there are some ways to obey the law and still help lawns withstand drought and dry periods. Postpone fertilizer applications. Fertilizers are designed to help grass grow, but growing grass needs water it won’t have access to when water restrictions have been put in place. If a lawn needs to be fertilized during drought or dry periods, homeowners should consult with lawncare professionals, who may have experience applying fertilizer during drought. Professionals also may have access to more fertilizing products than homeowners will ﬁnd at nearby lawn and garden centers. Pull weeds by hand instead of applying herbicides. Herbicides are substances used to destroy unwanted vegetation, such as weeds. When applied during droughts or dry periods, such products can make it harder for grass to overcome weeds. Instead of applying herbicides during drought or dry periods, pull weeds by hand. Doing so can address a weed problem without harming the grass. Water early. Water restrictions might not completely deny homeowners the right to water their lawns. Rather, such regulations restrict how much water homeowners can use to treat their lawns during drought or dry periods. Watering early, ideally between the hours of 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., ensures as little water as possible will be lost to evaporation and as much as possible will ﬁnd its way onto the grass and into the soil. During periods of drought, temperatures tend to be at their highest in mid- to late-afternoon, so change automatic sprinkler timers if they are set to water during these hours. Adjust lawnmower blade height. Grass grows more slowly during drought or dry periods. As a result, homeowners won’t need to mow as often during such times as they would when conditions are more favorable. But lawns may still need to be mowed during drought. When mowing, leave grass on the longer side. Mowing stresses grass, which is already under considerable stress during drought. By setting mower blades to cut no more than one-third of the leaf blade at a time, homeowners can encourage roots to grow deeper. Deep roots help the grass combat the effects of drought. Drought and dry periods need not ruin homeowners’ lush lawns. But lawn care enthusiasts will have to alter their lawn care routines when conditions are dry. www.fbsc.com 60711242 THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

While protecting wildlife is a cause that’s near and dear to many gardening enthusiasts, even the most ardent wildlife supporter does not want to see his or her garden trampled, eaten or adversely affected by animals. Safeguarding gardens from local wildlife can require some trial and error. Animals may ﬁnd ways to circumvent gardeners’ initial efforts to protect their gardens, but the following methods might just do the trick the ﬁrst time around. Erect physical barriers around gardens. Barriers may not be gardeners’ ﬁrst choices, as some people feel barriers such as wire cages or mesh coverings make it more difﬁcult to tend to gardens and rob gardens of some of their aesthetic appeal. But coverings and wire cages can effectively prevent wildlife from trampling or eating plants while still allowing the gardens to get adequate sunlight. Make sure barriers extend to the ground so animals cannot access gardens by entering beneath the barricades. Fight intruders with odor. Stray cats may mistake gardens for litter boxes and enter them to relieve themselves. Preventing such intrusions can be as simple as placing items around the garden to reduce the likelihood that gardens will be mistaken for litter boxes. Peels from oranges and lemons or coffee grounds can be placed in the garden and can emit odors strong enough to deter cats. Install motion detecting lights around gardens. Motion detection Container gardens can deter pests from trampling and eating plants. technology might be enough to deter nocturnal wildlife from trampling or eating gardens. Animals might be spooked and run away when lights suddenly turn on. A similar approach can be taken using noise instead of lights. Gardeners who hope to avoid erecting barriers around their gardens can put up posts instead, attaching aluminum cans or wind chimes to the posts that will make noise when animals come near. Much like light, noise can be enough to deter animals. Consider raised garden beds. When small critters, such as moles, are the main problem, then raised garden beds with wood or plastic bottoms and sides can be enough to safeguard gardens. Raised garden beds might not be accessible to small critters, though such beds likely won’t deter larger animals from getting into gardens that are not barricaded. Erect fencing around the yard. Though fencing is expensive, fencing in a backyard or side yard where gardens are located can deter wildlife big and small from trampling or eating gardens. Wildlife is worth protecting, but gardeners must also take steps to protect their gardens from animals looking for something to eat. SPRING IS HERE! LET’S GET PlantING Come on over to Bob’s...

However, many homeowners put in so much effort planting for one particular season that they may not give thought to ensuring the garden looks vibrant no matter the time of year. Gardeners can research planting zones to ﬁnd plants that will blossom at different times of the year so they can enjoy impressive, aesthetically appealing gardens year-round. Spring bulbs can bloom early on, while annual and perennial summer favorites will thrive under the summer sun. Beautyberry and caryopteris will ﬁll out in the autumn, while holly or mahonia can look lovely in the winter. Smell Gardeners can dot their landscapes with aromatic trees, shrubs and ﬂowers that will make stepping out into the garden that much more special. Some of the more fragrant plants include gardenia, dianthus, calendula, lavender, and jasmine. Shrubs such as fragrant pineapple broom, Anne Russell viburnum and Christmas box can add fragrance as well. Sound The lively sounds of the garden are created by the wildlife that come to pollinate and enjoy the environment gardeners have created. By choosing indigenous plants, gardeners can be sure that insects and small critters will seek refuge within the foliage. Songbirds also will add character to a yard. The Audubon Society suggests including a water source and a songbird border of shrubs along your property’s edge. Provide food sources and make sure they are located a fair distance from the main action of the yard so as not to scare off birds. Wait for musical chickadees, goldﬁnches, orioles, and cardinals to arrive and enjoy the accommodations. Taste Gardeners can expand their gardens to include fruit-bearing trees and rows of vegetables. Produce can be harvested from early spring through late fall depending on the crops planted. Touch Apart from including trees and shrubs of various textures in the garden, look for other ways to stimulate a tactile response. Water features add relaxing sound and beauty. Stones, moss, mulch, and other accents have varied textures that can stimulate the sense of touch in various ways. Don’t forget to include a sitting area so that you can immerse yourself fully in the garden. Go beyond visual appeal when designing a garden. When gardeners tap into all ﬁve senses, they can enjoy their landscapes even more than they already do. Gardens add visual appeal to a yard, but gardens also can appeal to individuals’ senses of smell, taste, touch, and sound. Gardeners who want to create gardens that appeal to various senses can do so in the following ways.

But thanks to composting, such waste can be put to work rather than discarded. Compost is organic material that helps plants grow when added to soil. Beneﬁtting the planet in myriad ways, compost enriches the soil by helping it retain moisture. The EPA notes that composting also reduces the need for chemical fertilizers while also suppressing plant diseases and pests. In addition, when homeowners compost, they inadvertently reduce methane emissions from landﬁlls, thereby lowering their carbon footprints. Homeowners who do not know how to compost can consider the following tips as they start compost piles on their properties. Choose an accessible spot on your property. When looking for a spot on your property for your compost bin, choose a location that’s easily accessible. The less accessible the bin is, the less likely you are to stick with composting over the long-term. The EPA also recommends placing a compost bin or pile in a dry, shady spot near a water source. Add the appropriate materials. Animal waste, cooked foods, diseased plants, and fresh weeds from perennial plants should not be added to a compost pile. The EPA recommends moistening dry materials as they’re added and adding brown and green materials as they are collected. Examples of green waste include grass clippings, weeds from annual plants and plant trimmings. Brown materials include dead leaves and shredded cardboard. Chop or shred large pieces before adding them to the pile. Give the pile structure. Layering materials can give compost piles better structure. The EPA suggests burying fruit and vegetable waste under 10 inches of compost material, including brown and green waste. Turn and aerate the pile. Using a garden fork, periodically turn the compost pile. This aerates the heap and provides oxygen that can accelerate the decomposition of the pile. Piles that are not periodically turned and aerated may grow malodorous, which can be unpleasant for homeowners who hope to add materials to their piles on a regular basis. In addition, without the heat produced by aeration, composting piles will break down very slowly. Recognize when the material is ready. The EPA notes that compost is ready to use when materials at the bottom of a pile are dark and rich in color. According to the EPA, this can take anywhere from two months to two years, so composters must be patient.

NFL owners revamp video replay for officiating PHOENIX (AP) — NFL owners got busy Tuesday passing several rules changes, adopting resolutions they believe will speed the game and enhance player safety, and perhaps even allow for more personality in player celebrations. One day after approving the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas, the owners sped up discussions on dozens of subjects.

Referees will now watch replays GAHS second baseman Tanner Allen robbed Stearns of a basehit by making a leaping lineout catch. In the sixth, Thomas started a 1-6-3 double play, then after Williams doubled and scored on Alec Smith’s shot to center, the Blue Devils made arguably the defensive play of the game. Smith, in trying to stretch his two-bagger into a triple, got gunned down on the Blue and White’s “rapid relay” — from the centerﬁelder Stout to the shortstop Davis to the third baseman Brumﬁeld. “Josh (Faro) started to get tired and we really wanted to get Kaden (Thomas) some experience. He hasn’t played baseball since junior high,” said Corvin. “We wanted to put him in that situation before we got into the heat of things with league play. That was good for him and we had good defensive plays. None was bigger than our ‘rapid relay’ in the sixth.” Because, in what seemed like rapid fashion, the Blue Devils quickly made it 8-2 with three more points in the last. Brody Thomas and Davis were both hit by PPHS pitcher Carter Smith, then Sickels sacriﬁced for the third time. Kaden Thomas then helped his cause by bloopsingling to score Brody Thomas, setting up the two-out two-run single by Yarger. “We were still in the game when it was 5-2. But when they tack on a few runs like that in the top of the seventh, it’s a killer, especially at this level,” said Roberts. “But we’re working on defending ‘small-ball’, getting better at that and just getting better in all aspects of the game.” The Blue Devils outhit the Big Blacks 11-10, as both teams only committed one error. Stout went 2-for-2 for GAHS, as he also singled in the sixth. In the seventh, the Big Blacks gained their ﬁnal run when Pinkerton led off with a walk, Smith singled to center, and Wamsley scored Smith with a double. But Brumﬁeld turned a 5-3 double play on the atbat just before, and Stearns ﬂew out to Stout to end the game. The Big Blacks’ only other hit was a Tyler Mitchell single to lead off the sixth. Point Pleasant, which fell to 1-4, hosted Spring Valley on Wednesday night (March 29). The Big Blacks will now host Charleston Catholic tonight (Thursday, March 30) at 7 p.m., while Gallia Academy hosts Meigs at 5 p.m. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
