Washington’s
birthday is now
Presidents’ Day
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com
OVP — In February we celebrate Presidents’
Day to honor all United States Presidents, but this
was not the original intent of the holiday.
Washington’s birthday, according to the Gregorian calender, was Feb. 22 and was established as
a federal holiday 1885 in recognition of President
George Washington’s leadership in the founding
of the United States. Known “The Father of his
Country,” he was seen as a unifying force for the
newly established United States and became the
Electoral College’s unanimous choice to become
its first President.
Later, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, also in February, began to
see established

nation’s workers. The term
“Presidents’ Day” was appropriated in a deliberate
attempt to change the holiday into one honoring
multiple presidents. Colloquially, the day is now
usually referred to as Presidents’ Day.
A bit of history about George Washington, from
Zac Cunningham, manager of educational programs at Ferry Farm, Va., lends some clues as to
why the county was so fervent in establishing his
birthday as a national holiday.
Cunningham, a former Meigs County resident, received his master’s degree from Ohio
University in American history and is currently
working at Ferry Farm, the site of Washington’s
home during his formative years from age 6 to
his early 20s.
Ferry Farm was located across the river from
the urban setting of Fredericksburg, Va. When
George was 11, his father died and his family
was left in financial difficulty. While technically
George inherited the property, his mother managed the estate. Astute with finances, she was
able to maintain the lifestyle of the upper class
in the area, but there were little funds left for
what would be considered normal expenditures
on George’s education.
Unable to study abroad in England, he became
self-educated in the colonies. In order to be part of
the Virginia gentry, he learned to fence and dance
in Fredericksburg. Washington joined the Masons,
one of the earliest masonic lodges in the colonies,
in Fredericksburg as well.

allowing 60 days to pass
before alerting residents
to excessive lead readings
don’t match the public’s
expectations when it
comes to safe drinking
water, said Craig Butler,
head of Ohio’s Environmental Protection Agency.
Lead contamination
in the tap water in Flint,
Michigan, and now in a
northeastern Ohio village has put a spotlight
on concerns with federal
standards.
“This will be a hallmark
on how we look at lead and
change our drinking water
standards,” Butler said.
The U.S. House
approved legislation last
week that would direct the
federal EPA to tell residents and health departments if the lead found
in a public water system
requires action, in the
absence of notification by
the state
It’s the first action by
Congress — but probably
not the last — in response
to the water crisis in Flint.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod
Brown, a Democrat from
Ohio, said he’s working
on legislation speeding
up notification and the
response communities
must take.
He said it was unacceptable that communities
can wait as much as 18
months to develop a plan
to clean their water supply
after excessive lead levels
are detected.
“Imagine getting a
notice that your water isn’t
safe, but being told you
have to wait up to a year
and a half before there is
even a plan in place to fix
it,” Brown said in a statement.
Butler, meanwhile, sent
a letter to Ohio’s congressional delegation this past
week outlining changes
that he thinks will improve
public safety.
There needs to be a
re-evaluation of testing
methods that now allow
public water suppliers to
say they are free of lead
even if a few homes have
samples above the federal
limit, he said.
The U.S. EPA also
should encourage more
homeowners to take
voluntary water samples
in order to better measure drinking water and
improve public confidence,
Butler said.

OHIO STATE BRIEFS
Man who struck Ohio diners
with machete was from Guinea
COLUMBUS (AP) — An FBI spokesman says the
man who attacked people in an Ohio restaurant with a
machete and later was fatally shot by a policeman was
from the West African nation of Guinea.
Spokesman Todd Lindgren said in a statement
Monday that it would be premature to discuss what
motivated the Thursday attack or details of the investigation.
Authorities haven’t released many details about
the attacker, 30-year-old Mohamed Barry, or his
background. A police spokesman said information
connected to the registration of the car Barry drove
triggered an alert that required contacting the local
terrorism task force, which contacted the FBI.
The Columbus police chief has said Barry wasn’t
known to police.
Four people were hurt in the assault at Nazareth
Restaurant and Deli, on the north side of Columbus.
Ohio gas station glitch lets
drivers fill up for pennies
TOLEDO (AP) — A computer glitch led to a brief
price war between two gas stations in northwest
Ohio, allowing some drivers to fill their tanks for pennies per gallon.
WTOL-TV reports that a computer malfunction
dropped prices at one north Toledo gas station, and
another across the street lowered its prices to stay
competitive early Sunday.
Customer Taylor Kline told the station he filled his
empty tank for just 26 cents. The extra-low pricing
lasted at least three hours before returning to normal.
Ohio’s average price for a gallon of regular gas was
$1.55 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the
Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s
down from $2.29 a year ago.
The national average Monday for regular gas was
$1.70.
Internal review clears Ohio
officers in fatal shooting
ly/20SGOWY ) reports the Portage County Sheriff’s
office is continuing to look into whether the shooting
was legally justified.
Clinton, Sanders to speak at
dinner just before primary
COLUMBUS (AP) — Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are slated to speak at
an Ohio Democratic Party dinner two days before the
state’s March 15 primary.
The former secretary of state and the Vermont
senator will be seeking support in the home turf of
another presidential candidate, Republican Gov. John
Kasich.
Chairman David Pepper says the Ohio Democratic
Party is thrilled to have both Clinton and Sanders
speaking in person shortly before Ohioans cast their
primary ballots.
The Ohio Democratic Party Legacy Dinner is
scheduled March 13 at a convention center in Columbus. Tickets for the event range from $50 for a bleacher seat to $5,000 for a preferred table with passes to a
VIP reception.
Hillary Clinton won the 2008 Ohio primary over
Barack Obama.
State watchdog urges
expanded work rules
DAYTON (AP) — The state watchdog says the
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency should consider expanding its rules against agency employees
doing private work on state time after an investigation
found an employee conducted real estate work from
his office.
A recent Ohio Inspector General’s report noted an
environmental specialist in northeastern Ohio made
more than 700 non-work-related phone calls and
more than 3,500 visits to real estate websites over six
months.
The Dayton Daily News reports the employee told
investigators his use of state resources for those purposes was infrequent and for his personal residence
and family.
The EPA requested the investigation.
The inspector general also recommended the state
EPA consider administrative action or training for the
employee and referred the case to the Summit County
prosecutor for consideration.
KENT (AP) — Four police in officers in northeastern Ohio have been cleared of any department policy
violations in the fatal shooting of a man who confronted them with a machete.
The police chief in Kent says the internal investigation found the officers didn’t break any policies or
procedures in the shooting.
Officers shot 25-year-old Douglas Yon in December.

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis
The battle with credit card debt can
be a constant struggle against high
interest rates and monthly payments
that never seem to make a dent in
what you owe. How is it possible to
make monthly credit card payments
and never get anywhere?
This problem is caused by high
interest rates that eats up most of
your payments. Even though you
make your minimum payment,
you don’t make much headway
eliminating the debt.
Luckily, there’s a way to find debt
relief without incurring more
debts. Using certified credit
counseling like Consolidated
Credit, you can get professional
advice to identify the right solution for your needs.
A certified credit counselor
can review your options to
see which solution is best for
you. You can qualify for lower
interest rates or even eliminate
them, while consolidating your
credit card debt into one easy
payment to get you out of debt
faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see
a reduction of total payments
by up to 30-50% as they pay off
debt faster.

I liked myself—that is, until I accepted that my
flaws can’t make me any less perfect than the loveable creature that God made me to be.
Then I fell in love with my perfectly imperfect
self.
Instead of tucking regrets, guilt and grievances
into every cell in my body, I forgave myself for the
frailty of being human. I unzipped my heart and
healed the holes that spiraled through the organ
like worms in a rotten apple.
I began treating myself kindly, just

so was vane or narcissistic.
I told myself that, in order to

could assist other travelers.
It felt awkward at first — sometimes even selfish, but I began to notice that how I felt about
others was actually how I felt about myself. They
were my mirrors for what was actually going on
inside of me.
When I felt trusting of others, I was indeed feeling trustworthy myself. When I was sad, everyone
I met seemed to be depressed about something.
When I refused to accept an apology from
someone who had harmed me, I realized I actually
needed to forgive myself — possibly for feeling
vulnerable enough to be hurt in the first place;
possibly for being naïve enough to let the person
apologize for something they’d done numerous
times in the past.
Often I found myself distrustful that the person
was actually sorry for the offense. Then I’d recall
several instances where, I too, had whole-heartedly apologized with the most honorable intention
to not repeat the same mistake, but had made
the same mistake anyway. I’d scold myself, telling
myself that I’ll never be a better person, and I’d
find myself eating a rotten, worm-filled apple that
was eating a whole in my heart yet again.
I finally acknowledged that they may be apologizing just like I had so many times with an honest
intent to not repeat the action.
I’d imagine my heart sealed with a zipper — a
zipper that, even when broken or in need of repair,
absorbed the most divine love— a zipper that I
could unzip, unleashing so much love into the
world that there’d be no room for even one worm
hole.
I’d unzip it slowly and allow myself to feel the
pain or disappointment. As I forgave myself, I
imagined my love for myself and for others as a
white light saturating my whole being and shining
directly into their hearts.
I still practice unzipping my heart when it feels
achy — embracing the beautiful vulnerability of
its healing power — for both myself and any other
recipient involved in the conflict.
Compassion, forgiveness, trust — I’m still
reminding myself that these sorts of human struggles are the much more prevalent when I choose

This would allow those dogs that have been adopted from
the shelter by families who can no longer support the dog to be
returned to the shelter, and allow a better support system for
any adopters. Cummins said that she and MurphySmith will
also be doing better assessment of each dog’s personality to
help match their personality with the right owner.
For the duo, this will also be an opportunity to help continue
the dispelling of negative ideas about the shelter and shelter
dogs.
“We want to get out there in people’s minds that the shelter
is a positive force in the county,” MurphySmith said. “We’re
just two people who really just like to get out there in the
forefront and get people adopting, instead of buying a dog here
or there.”
Cummins added that any negative images of shelter dogs
need to be dispelled as well.
“Often times (they’re here) at no fault of their own; life
happens,” Cummins said. “There’ve been a lot of tragic human
reasons as to why the dog has ended up here. But with our
reputation starting to precede us in a positive manner, a lot of
people are starting to trust us to be able to bring their dogs
here, where they will be assessed, adopted and rescued.”
Currently, adoption fees are $100, which includes
vaccination, license, rabies shots, deworming, and spaying and
neutering. Anyone wishing to adopt can bring cash or a check.
So far, since the implementation of spaying and neutering fee
last August, 75 dogs have been spayed and neutered in Meigs
County.
MurphySmith urged the public to give her time to get
settled into the job before offering to volunteer, although any
volunteer work will be appreciated.

Eastern Lady Eagles stymie St. Joe, 59-28
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
ROCKSPRINGS — A perfect start to the postseason.
The Eastern girls basketball team scored the first 15
points of Saturday’s Division
IV sectional final inside Larry
R. Morrison Gymnasium, on
the campus of Meigs High
School, and the secondseeded Lady Eagles soared
to a 59-28 victory over the
seventh-seeded Ironton St.
Joe Lady Flyers.
Eastern (16-6) — which
claimed its 11th straight sectional crown with the win —
didn’t allow a field goal in the
opening period and led 19-1

The Lady Flyers missed
their first 18 field goal
attempts of the contest and
trailed 22-1 by the 4:08 mark
of the second period, when
they finally made a twopointer. Eastern forced 11
turnovers in the opening half
and led 30-to-8 at the break.
St. Joe — which made just
2-of-23 field goal attempts
in the first half — found its
offense in the third quarter,
sinking 6-of-15 tries from the
field en route to 15 points.
Eastern scored 13 points
in the third quarter and led
43-23 headed into the finale.
The Lady Eagles outscored
the Purple and Gold by a
16-to-5 clip in the fourth quarter to seal the 59-28 win and
their 24th sectional title.
“We focus a lot on the
tournament throughout the
season,” Burdette said. “I told
them ‘we’re here, now your

see how long it can go’. I’m
ready for the district and I
think they are.”
EHS junior Laura Pullins
led the Lady Eagles with
23 points, six rebounds and

Red-hot Vikings
handle Meigs
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
McARTHUR — For
the Meigs Marauders,
everything changed in
a McArthur minute.
After that, as Newfound Glory once sang,
it was all downhill
from here.
That’s because, bolstered by a 19-4 run in
the final seven minutes
of the opening quarter
Saturday night, the
Vinton County Vikings
quickly caught fire —
and went on to roll
the visiting Marauders
77-49 in the Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division boys basketball
season finale.
That’s correct.
Vinton County blitzkrieged the Marauders with an incredible
40-12 spree over the
first half’s final 15 minutes.
Meigs eventually found itself down
67-34, the Vikings’
largest advantage, midway through the fourth
quarter.
Both teams finished
their regular seasons
at an impressive 17-4,
but Vinton County —
in winning its 11th
all-time TVC boys basketball championship
and its ninth since the
2003-04 campaign —
captured the outright
Ohio title.
The Vikings (10-2
TVC-Ohio) completed
the season sweep of
the Marauders, which
tied Athens for thirdplace in the league at
8-4 — behind the 9-3
Alexander Spartans.
A Marauder win on
Saturday night would
have resulted in a TriValley tri-championship, and would have
certainly spoiled the
Vikings’ Senior Night.
It wasn’t to be,
though, as the tide
turned immensely after
the opening minute —
with Vinton County
shooting a sizzling
58-percent (28-of-48),
including making half
(10) of its 21 threepoint attempts against
the Marauders’ zone
defense.
The Vikings canned
two-thirds (18-of27) of their shots
from inside the arc,
doubled up (28-14)
the Marauders in
total field goals, and
amassed as many
assists (14) as Meigs
made total shots.
Vinton County led
19-9 after the first
quarter, 40-17 at halftime, and finally 55-28
following three periods.
The closest the
Marauders came in the
final 22 minutes and
50 seconds was a 24-11
deficit.

Jackson tops Blue Devils in SEOAL finale, 53-40
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
JACKSON — It wasn’t
how the Blue Devils wanted this history recorded.
The Gallia Academy
boys basketball team
started strong, but host
Jackson had the last laugh
Saturday night during
a 53-40 decision in the
final Southeastern Ohio
Athletic League contest
between storied rivals in
the Apple City.
The Blue Devils (7-15,
1-5 SEOAL) — who leave
the SEOAL after nine
decades of membership
following this current
school year — trailed
only 26 seconds in the
entire first half as Devin
Henry netted four trifectas in the opening six
minutes of play, which
ultimately allowed the
guests to secure a comfortable 14-7 cushion
through eight minutes of
play.
The Ironmen, however, held GAHS to just
9-of-28 shooting after
the first quarter, and the
Red and White made a
furious 46-26 charge the
rest of the way to become
the last team to win an
SEOAL boys basketball
outcome.
JHS (4-17, 1-5) —
winners of two straight
— completed a 27-point
turnaround with Gallia
Academy after the Blue
and White earned 48-34
decision in Centenary
back on January 30. The
hosts also snapped a
nine-game losing skid in
SEOAL play, with their
last league win coming
over GAHS on January
16, 2015, during a 43-40
overtime decision in Jackson.
The Blue Devils, conversely, have just four
SEOAL wins (4-18) in
the last three seasons —
all over Jackson — and
enter the 2016 postseason on a three-game losing skid.
Afterwards, third-year
GAHS coach Gary Harrison admitted that this
historic night didn’t go
nearly as well as he had
hoped for his troops.
“We knew we were
coming into a hostile
environment and that
Jackson was going to be
up for this game, given all
things that had happened
here in the last week,”
Harrison said, referencing
the tragic passing of JHS
softball coach Emileigh
Cooper a week earlier.
“We played well early on,
but then we got careless
with the basketball and
stopped making shots.
We are the type of team
that cannot afford to turn
the ball over and quit
making shots.
“We wanted to be the
last team to win a league
game in the SEOAL,
mainly because of all of
the history and the memories that we have during
the time that we’ve been a
part of this league. Unfortunately, things didn’t
work out for us the way
we hoped. As it is, Jackson is the one that gets
that final honor.”
Following the hot first
quarter start, Evan Wiseman netted the opening
basket of the second
period at the 6:57 mark
— giving the guests their
largest lead of the night
at 16-7. JHS countered
with a 9-3 surge over the
rest of the canto, allowing GAHS to claim a slim
19-16 edge headed into
halftime.
The Ironmen rallied to
knot things up at 23-all
with 4:42 remaining in
the third, then the hosts
took a permanent lead 14
seconds later as Peyton
Speakman hit a jumper
for a 25-23 contest.
Speakman’s basket also
sparked an 11-2 run over
the final 4:28 of the period, completing an 18-6
third quarter run en route
to a 34-25 advantage
headed into the finale.
Gallia Academy whittled its deficit down to
38-32 following a Kole
Carter basket at the 5:26
mark, but the guests
never came closer. Jackson followed with a 15-2
surge over the next fourplus minutes and claimed
the largest lead of the
game at 53-34 with 57.9
seconds left in regulation.
Bryan Walters | OVP Sports
Gallia Academy freshman Justin McClelland (12) is trapped by
a trio of Jackson defenders during the second half of Saturday
night’s SEOAL boys basketball contest in Jackson, Ohio.
Henry and Drew VanSickle each buried a trifecta in the final minute
for GAHS, which ultimately wrapped up the
13-point outcome.
In the toughest of scenarios for any head coach,
first-year JHS frontman
Max Morrow noted that
his kids showed some real
character and resolve in
coming away with this
triumph.
“We played with very
heavy hearts, but I think
that we showed just how
much of a close-knit
group and community
that we are by coming
together tonight to win
this game,” Morrow said.
“These guys haven’t quit
all year through all of the
adversity and it seems
that it’s all coming together at the right time for us.
We’ve doubled our win
total in the last week and
we won our first SEOAL
game in over a year, so
that’s a memorable Senior
Night for our kids. With
it being the final SEOAL
win and with it coming
over Gallia Academy, that
makes it a little bit more
special for us.”
The Ironmen outrebounded the Blue and
White by a sizable 27-14
overall advantage, including a 9-4 edge on the
offensive glass. Gallia
Academy committed 13
of its 17 turnovers after
halftime, while the Red
and White committed 13
turnovers in the win.
GAHS connected
on 14-of-35 field goal
attempts for 40 percent,
including a 7-of-22 effort
from three-point range for
32 percent. The guests
were also a meager 5-of19 at the free throw line
for 26 percent. Henry led
the Blue Devils with 15
points, followed by Wes
Jarrell with nine points
and Carter with seven
markers.
Wiseman and VanSickle
respectively added four
and three points to the
losing effort, while Justin McClelland rounded
things out with two
points. Jarrell hauled in
a team-high six rebounds
and Wiseman also had
four boards.
The Ironmen netted
16-of-37 shot attempts for
43 percent, including a
2-of-10 effort from behind
the arc for 20 percent.
The hosts were also 19-of26 at the charity stripe
for 73 percent, including
11-of-14 at the line in the
final stanza.
Josh Spires paced JHS
with a game-high 16
points, followed by Speakman with 13 points and
Cooper Donaldson with
11 markers. Dakota Nichols also had six points for
the victors.
Blake McCoy and
Carson Spohn respectively added four and two
points for the Red and
White, while Kendall Neal
wrapped things up with
one marker. Spires, Donaldson and McCoy also
grabbed five rebounds
apiece for the Ironmen.

By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
RACINE — The key is to be playing your best at
the end of the year.
For the first team this season the Southern boys
basketball team has won back-to-back games, as the
Tornadoes finished their regular season with a 55-48
victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
guest Miller, on Saturday night in Racine.
The Tornadoes (5-17, 5-11 TVC Hocking) allowed
just two field goals over the opening eight minutes
and led 10-4 by the end of the first canto. The Falcons
(9-12, 4-12) found their offense in the second period,
outscoring Southern by a 19-13 clip to tie the game at
23 headed into the break.
Southern went on a 20-to-9 third quarter run and
led 43-32 with eight minutes remaining in regulation.
The Tornadoes made just 6-of-17 free throws in the
final period, but paired it with three made field goals
to seal the 55-48 win.
SHS junior Trey Pickens led the Purple and Gold
with 17 points, followed by fellow junior Blake Johnson with 12. Tylar Blevins scored nine points, Crenson Rogers added eight, while Dylan Smith and Jonah
Hoback rounded out the SHS scoring with six and
three points respectively.
For the game, Southern shot 14-of-28 from the free
throw line, equaling 50 percent.
Seattle Compston led the guests with 19 points, followed by Garrett Bartley with 10 and Carson Starlin
with eight. Cole Geil scored four points, Dalton Hall
added three, while Alec Eveland and Austin Knippa
rounded out the MHS scoring with two points each.
Miller also shot 50 percent from the charity stripe,
making 10-of-20 throws.
Southern also defeated the Falcons on January 8, by
a 55-50 count in Perry County.
The Tornadoes return to action in the Division
IV sectional semifinal on Wednesday at Meigs High
School, where they will take on archrival Eastern.
SHS is 1-1 against the Eagles this season, with a
54-44 setback in Racine on January 12, and a 53-45
win at EHS on February 12.

Portsmouth burns Gallia Academy Blue Devils, 66-52
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
PORTSMOUTH — One bad
quarter can ruin your entire
night.
The Gallia Academy boys
basketball team trailed by just
one point, eight minutes into
Friday night’s Ohio Valley
Conference tilt at Portsmouth,
but the Blue Devils were outscored by a 20-to-5 count in
the second quarter. GAHS
never recovered after the PHS
run and the Trojans rolled to a
66-52 victory.
Portsmouth (15-7, 10-4 OVC)
led 11-10 at the conclusion of
the opening quarter, and 31-15
by halftime. The Blue Devils
(7-14, 5-9) scored 15 points in
the third quarter — 13 of which
came from senior Devin Henry
— but PHS marked 16 points
in the period and led 47-30 with
eight minutes remaining.
Eagles
Gallia Academy outscored
its host 22-to-19 in the fourth
quarter, but it was too little,
too late and the Trojans took
the 66-52 win.
Wes Jarrell led the Blue
Devils with 19 points, followed
by Henry with 17. Kole Carter
scored five points, Drew VanSickle added four, while Cory
Call finished with three. Evan
Wiseman and Miles Cornwell
rounded out the GAHS scoring
with two points apiece in the
setback.
The Blue Devils made 10-of13 free throw attempts, equaling 76.9 percent.
Kendal Reynolds led the
winning cause with 22 points,
followed by Ky’re Allison with
18 and Mike Malone with 11.
Trent Rodbell scored seven

three, while Coby Pearson and
Reese Johnson each marked
Vikings
From Page 6
The freshman trio of Parker, Alyson Bailey and
Rebecca Pullins led the EHS defense with three
steals each, while Collins blocked three shots and
Laura Pullins rejected two.
The Lady Eagles shot 10-of-13 (76.9 percent)
from the free throw line and 23-of-57 (40.4 percent) from the field, including 3-of-14 (21.4 percent) from beyond the arc. As a team the Green
and Gold had 19 defensive rebounds, 14 offensive
boards, 15 assists, 10 steals, five blocks and 10
turnovers.
Lynsey Booker led the Purple and Gold offensively with 10 points, followed by Morgan Turner,
Alyson Johnson and Ashlee Blankenship with four
each. Ashley Bartrum scored three points, Megan
Riley added two, while Natalie Heabrelin rounded
out the ISJ scoring with one marker.
Riley led the Lady Flyers on the glass with 10
rebounds, while Johnson finished with six boards
and three assists. Riley also led the defensive
effort for St. Joe, recording two steals and two
blocks.
For the game, St. Joe shot 8-of-12 (66.7 percent) from the free throw line and 10-of-55 (18.2
percent) from the field, including 0-13 from threepoint range. Collectively, the Lady Flyers marked
20 defensive rebounds, 11 offensive rebounds, five
assists, five steals, four blocks and 21 turnovers.
Eastern also defeated St. Joe in the regular
season, by a 60-36 count in Tuppers Plains on
December 23.
“I don’t take anybody lightly in the tournament,” Burdette said. “It really didn’t matter if we
played them earlier or not, because with tournament time, everything is different.”
The Lady Eagles will travel to Jackson High
School for the district final on Saturday, where the
Green and Gold will take on third-seeded Leesburg Fairfield.
