GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Many
people would agree that dogs have
either the best or worst lives. There
is no in-between.
They can be beaten and starved
just as often they are unconditionally loved, do not have to work a
day of their lives and spend warm
afternoons lazing about the house.
According to Gallia County Dog
Warden Laurie Cardillo, Blossom is
a 3-year-old Mastiff and Mountain
Kerr mix. Blossom ﬁnally experienced what it was like to be on the
good side of life after being recovered by shelter workers in a neglect
case. She lived at the shelter for
nine months before ﬁnally being

“She looked so bad we were
afraid to pick her up because
we thought we would hurt
her. You could see all of her
bones — her backbone, her
hip bones. It was bad.”
— Laurie Cardillo,
Gallia County dog warden

taken home by a family who wanted
to take care of her.
“I see more Mountain Kerr in her
than Mastiff,” Cardillo said. “When
you compare her with some photos
on the (internet) she looks just
like some of them. She’s the Tennessee Brindle. It’s hard to believe,
you know, she came in here at 27
pounds and left here at 80 pounds.”

A Federal Express driver called
Cardillo nine months ago after ﬁnding a dog on Cherry Point Road in
Gallia County.
“He said, ‘If you don’t come get
this dog, it’s going to die,’” Cardillo
said.
The dog was chained to a box
at the end of a road with no food
or water. She was discovered on a
quiet residential property. Cardillo
contacted Gallia County sheriff’s
deputies and collected the animal.
The ofﬁcer spoke with the homeowner, who was displeased with
learning that his animal had been
taken.
“She looked so bad we were
afraid to pick her up because we

LUNCH TIME

deanwright@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS —
Bossard Memorial
Library will be hosting the Ohio Summer
Food Service program
by becoming a serving
site to feed local children with nutritious meals.
Eligible children can be between 1 to 18 years
old and will be served Mondays and Wednesdays
from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
According to Bossard Memorial Library Director Debbie Saunders, the program is connected
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The program begins Monday and ends Aug. 10.
“Through the training we received, we understand that the purpose of this program is to ﬁll
the gap for those who do rely on lunch during the
school year, particularly for those who participate
in the free and reduced lunch programs which we
know in our county there is a great need for that,”
Saunders said. “This program is to supplement or
replace those meals that those children would have
received at school.”
Saunders said there is no need to sign up or
provide proof of income. All children are welcome
to visit the program during serving times. The
library is known as an open site whereas others
may be closed.
“Our free and reduced lunch percentages in the
county and city are high enough where they don’t
require proof of income,” Saunders said.
Saunders said that children are always encouraged to join the summer reading program as well
if they would like while attending the food service
program. She also said the program helps fulﬁll
the library’s goals of encouraging reading and

Batman made an appearance Friday night at the Gallia County Relay for Life in Gallipolis City
Park. For a $10 donation, people could climb into the Batmobile, which was parked on the First
Avenue side of the park, and have their photo taken with the DC Comics superhero. Half the
proceeds collected from 7-9 p.m. at the Batmobile were split between Gallia County Relay for
Life and Heroes 4 Higher, a group that aims to help children through life’s tough battles by
giving them encouragement. Here, Batman helps a small child climb into the Batmobile. To

GALLIPOLIS — After
reﬂecting over a year spent
diffusing tense domestic situations, the Gallipolis City
Solicitor’s Ofﬁce intends to
apply once more for a grant
that has helped get Gallia
domestic abuse victims back
on the path of healing and
independence.
“The whole point of the
program is to separate victims from offenders,” said
City Solicitor Adam Salisbury. “The way that we’re
doing it is by providing them
with services that we have
not had in the past, that no
other program in this county
has and are generally not
available without going to
Southeastern Ohio Legal
Services.”
Salisbury noted that legal
aide nonproﬁts can often be
backlogged from requests for
services.
Susan Grady is the victim’s
advocate with the city solicitor’s ofﬁce.
“Susan and I applied for
the grant for the ﬁrst time
last year,” Salisbury said.
“It’s a federal and state grant
called Victims of Crime
Advocacy (VOCA) fund. It’s
an 80/20 program where the
federal and state together
put up 80 percent of the
funding with a local 20 percent match.”
According to Salisbury,
both the county and city governments split the remaining
20 percent funding cost for
the program. Part of the
grant covers resources for
Grady to assist victims of
domestic situations.
“(Grady) makes sure that
they come to court when
they are supposed to and
makes sure they know what
is happening at court,”
Salisbury said. “She makes
sure they understand their
rights and responsibilities
as a victim of crime. She
also helps victims connect
with other services that
may be available for them.

One of the most

Sunday Times-Sentinel

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY …
Today is Sunday, June 5, the 157th day of
2016. There are 209 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 5, 1916, the Arab Revolt against
Turkish Ottoman rule began during World
War I.
On this date:
In 1794, Congress passed the Neutrality
Act, which prohibited Americans from taking
part in any military action against a country
that was at peace with the United States.
In 1884, Civil War hero Gen. William
T. Sherman refused the Republican
presidential nomination, saying, “I will not
accept if nominated and will not serve if
elected.”
In 1933, the United States went off the
gold standard.
In 1947, Secretary of State George
C. Marshall gave a speech at Harvard
University in which he outlined an aid
program for Europe that came to be known
as The Marshall Plan.
In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in
Henderson v. United States, struck down
racially segregated railroad dining cars.
In 1963, Britain’s Secretary of State
for War, John Profumo, resigned after
acknowledging an affair with call girl
Christine Keeler, who was also involved
with a Soviet spy, and lying to Parliament
about it.
In 1967, war erupted in the Mideast as
Israel raided military aircraft parked on the
ground in Egypt; Syria, Jordan and Iraq
entered the conﬂict.
In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was
assassinated after claiming victory in
California’s Democratic presidential
primary; gunman Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was
arrested.
In 1976, 14 people were killed when the
Teton Dam in Idaho burst.
In 1986, a federal jury in Baltimore
convicted Ronald W. Pelton of selling
secrets to the Soviet Union. (Pelton was
sentenced to three life prison terms plus ten
years.)
In 1997, former CIA ofﬁcer Harold J.
Nicholson was sentenced to 23 1/2 years in
prison for selling defense secrets to Russia
after the Cold War.
In 2004, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th
president of the United States, died in Los
Angeles at age 93 after a long struggle with
Alzheimer’s disease.
Ten years ago: More than 50 National
Guardsmen from Utah became the ﬁrst
unit to work along the U.S.-Mexico border
as part of President George W. Bush’s
crackdown on illegal immigration. Serbian
lawmakers proclaimed their Balkan republic
a sovereign state after Montenegro decided
to split from a union and dissolve the
remnants of what was once Yugoslavia. The
Paris Hilton single “Stars Are Blind” was
released by Warner Bros. Records.
Five years ago: The departure of Yemen’s
battle-wounded president, Ali Abdullah
Saleh, for treatment in Saudi Arabia set off
wild street celebrations in the capital. Israeli
troops battled hundreds of pro-Palestinian
protesters who tried to burst across Syria’s
frontier with the Golan Heights, killing a
reported 20 people. Rafael Nadal won his
record-equaling sixth French Open title,
beating Roger Federer 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-1.
One year ago: The Social Security
Administration’s inspector general found
that disability beneﬁciaries had been
overpaid by nearly $17 billion over the
previous decade, raising alarms about
the massive program. A broken bat ﬂew
into the stands at Fenway Park during an
Oakland Athletics-Boston Red Sox game,
seriously injuring fan Tonya Carpenter.
Former Iraqi Prime Minister Tariq Aziz, 79,
died in Nasiriyah of a heart attack while in
captivity.

THEIR VIEW

States halt U.S. EPA overreach
When the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency strayed from the
law’s long-established
meaning and buried
language in a 629-page
proposal that would have
harmed an important
Ohio industry, I stood
up to the bureaucrats in
Washington and won.
Here’s what happened:
In February, the U.S.
EPA proposed a new
regulation under the
Clean Air Act that would
have stood in the way of
modifying motor vehicle
engines and their emission control devices “…
even if they are used
solely for competition or
if they become non-road
vehicles or engines.”
The regulation would
have affected all types of
vehicles, including the
sports cars, sedans, and
others that are commonly
converted from on-street
use to strictly racing.
I believed that proposal
violated the plain language of the Clean Air
Act and could have had
economically disastrous
consequences, and so I
took a stand against federal regulatory overreach
and for Ohio jobs.
I was joined by the
attorneys general from

deﬁned “waters of the

broad terms to include
almost every conceivable body of water in the
country – even drainage
or rain puddles on ordinarily dry land or creek
beds – with almost no
limit on federal jurisdiction. I ﬁled a lawsuit and
the Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals ultimately
issued a stay to stop the
effect of this sweeping,
illegal rule.
Reasonable citizens
recognize the need for
common-sense regulations that safeguard our
air and water. However,
I will always challenge
a federal bureaucracy
that oversteps its authority and attempts to run
roughshod over Ohio’s
best interests and economy.

Mother’s Day theme of meeting
Submitted

HEMLOCK GROVE — The
Hemlock Grange met recently at
the Grange Hall for their monthly
meeting. The meeting began with the
Pledge of Allegiance and patriotic
song and prayer.
Rosalie Story presided over the
meeting and read a thank you from
the Meigs County Cooperative Parish
for the Grange donation of kitchen
items to the Mulberry Country
Kitchen.
Announcements were made of the
cooperative parish mortgage burning
and the Meigs Canine and Rescue
Center fundraiser.
A thank you was noted for Fred
Johnson for making a new step for the
entrance to the Hall.
At the recent Grange Banquet
Margaret Parker, a member of
the Hemlock Grange was named
Community Service Award recipient
of Meigs County. Her achievements
will be entered in the state contest.
It was noted that Hemlock Grange
turned several items to the state
Grange as part of their fundraising/
donation efforts: 33 pounds of pop
tabs, (86 had come from cans at the
Grange); 156 Campbell’s Soup labels
were collected; 27 pair of eye glasses
and cases; six pair of gloves; and two
toboggans. No hearing aide batteries
were collected.

Salisbury said part of
the funding toward the
program also provides
for an attorney to assist
domestic situation victims with attorney access
provided by the victim
advocate’s ofﬁce attorney
Brynn Saunders.
Salisbury said the
program was halfway
through its ﬁrst year of
operation at the end of
April as they originally
applied for the grant last
June and were awarded
the grant and started the
program in October.
“I can safely say that
through the ﬁrst six
months of (the program),
(Susan) has instituted
more than 100 civil
cases,” Salisbury said.
“Our overall goal is to
separate victims from
their offenders. Examples
include when they have
children in common, they
don’t or can’t separate
because they don’t have
a visitation schedule. If

WHERE TO FIND IT
For more on the Meigs County Pomona
Grange banquet and presentation of
their 2016 Community Service Award
to Margaret Parker, can be found in the
May 17, 2016, article in the The Daily
Sentinel titled: “Meigs Pomona Grange
honors Parker.”

It was reported that plans for the
100th birthday celebration of Hemlock
Grange were moving forward. The
observance will be Sunday, July 17,
from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the
Grange Hall.
Lecturer Kim Romine used Mother’s
Day for her programs theme. She said
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia stated
the Mother’s Day celebrations as a
day of reﬂection and quiet prayers
by families, thanking God for all that
mothers have done. She later ﬁled a
lawsuit (which she lost) in an effort
to stop the commercialization of the
observance.
Romine read several pieces of
Mother’s Day humor and concluded
her program with a presentation of
ﬂowers to everyone in attendance.
The June meeting will be preceded
by a salisbury steak dinner at 6:30
p.m. at the Grange Hall, and all
members are invited to attend.

“Our hope is that by reducing the amount of
repeat offenders that we have, we’ll lessen
their burden on the resources of the entire
system. You’ll have fewer deputies going
out on (domestic violence) calls. You’ll have

guilty of domestic violence, which takes up
jail space and costs money. Our whole goal is

“We do follow-up with
victims to see how they
are,” Grady said. “I can
tell you so far, halfway
through the grant, all
of the civil cases we
have done we’ve not had
repeat situations. It’s

WEATHER HISTORY
Out-of-season frosts proved fatal to
many crops, and snow fell in Boston,
in June 1815. 1815 was known as
the “year without a summer.” Strong
evidence credits a volcanic eruption
in Indonesia that year.

Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures

Passing along
great-granddad’s
rifle a tradition
It’s a long-standing tradition in this country, the
passing along of an old riﬂe or shotgun, from one
generation to another, and a couple of weeks ago it
was my privilege to play a part in that tradition.
When my father was a young man,
he loved the outdoors, camping,
hunting and ﬁshing, but the pressure
of rearing four boys made him put
most of that on hold for about 25
years. As the burdens of parenthood
began to lessen, dad slowly started
getting back into outdoor recreation.
In The The end result was that I was the one
Open
who spent the most time hunting
Jim
and ﬁshing with him.
Freeman
The gun in question is a Marlin
336 lever-action riﬂe chambered
in .30-30 Winchester, that dad
purchased new for about $98 when we lived in
Louisiana back in the late 1970s. He and I both
hunted with that riﬂe for a number of years until
we moved back to Ohio, where we weren’t allowed
to hunt with “high-powered” riﬂes. Since that time
and dad’s passing in 1997 it remained under my
care, kept in a gun cabinet or safe, only removed
for the occasional cleaning.
Mom and dad had four boys, of which I am the
youngest, and oddly enough there were no grandsons, only granddaughters, which presented a
little challenge. That is because in our patrilineal
society, a riﬂe is traditionally passed to the oldest
son, and so on. However in this particular case we
skipped a couple of generations and passed the
riﬂe from the youngest son to a great-nephew who
happens to be the oldest son of the oldest daughter of the oldest son – thereby restoring balance to
the universe.
Another challenge is that this particular part of
the family remained in Louisiana when we moved
back north, and started its own regional roots, so
we had to wait for the right opportunity – which
came when my nieces and their husbands and
children “came up” for my youngest daughter Victoria’s wedding on May 21.
The trip was an opportunity for that particular
branch of the family to get in contact with its
roots, and so we went to the small family cemetery
over in Jackson County, W.Va. where we mowed
and trimmed, and decorated the graves with ﬂowers from the wedding and placed U.S. ﬂags on the
graves of the veterans.
A note about my great-nephews, otherwise
known as “The Lee Boys,” they are very Southern
and very polite, with manners strictly enforced by
their parents, so when I called out “Come here” to
Michael, he replied “Yes sir!” and came running,
and there, literally in the shadow of my parents’
and grandparents’ graves, with the rest of the

Sheets signs with Charlotte 49ers
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— Mission accomplished,
with a lot of accolades
along the way.
On Tuesday at Meigs
High School, Marauders’ multi-sport standout
Kaileb Sheets signed his
letter of intent to join the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte football
team next season.
“It’s a great opportunity, especially to go to
Division I and Conference USA,” Sheets said.
“It’s big time, so I know
that I’ll have to go down
there and work my butt
off to play. When I got the
chance to go (to Charlotte), I just couldn’t turn
it down.”
Sheets will be joining a
49ers team that went 2-10
in 2015, which was their
ﬁrst season in the NCAA
Division I Football Bowl
Subdivision and Conference USA.
“Athletic-wise Kaileb is
deﬁantly one of the top
ones we’ve coached in the
four years that I’ve been
here” Marauders head
coach Mike Bartrum said.
“Kaileb always wanted
to prove to himself and
everybody that he could
do it. He’s a likeable kid,
I always want what’s best
for him and I’m so proud
of him. The opportunity
to go to a D-1 football
program is just awesome.”
As a senior on the gridiron for Meigs, Sheets

ran for 665 yards and
six touchdowns, while
catching 56 passes for
720 yards and six more
scores. Kaileb helped the
Marauders to a 6-4 overall record and a 4-2 TriValley Conference Ohio
Division record this past
fall. Sheets was named an
All-Ohio Special Mention,
ﬁrst team All-Southeast
District as an all-purpose
player and ﬁrst team AllTVC Ohio.
Sheets’ also had a successful senior campaign
on the basketball court
and the baseball ﬁeld. In
basketball, Sheets was an
All-Ohio Special Mention,
an All-Southeast District
ﬁrst team selection,
an All-District 13 ﬁrst
teamer and a ﬁrst team
All-TVC Ohio selection
for the 18-5 Marauders.
On the diamond, Kaileb
helped Meigs to a 21-7
overall record and a
share of the TVC Ohio
championship. Sheets
was named All-District
Special Mention for the
Maroon and Gold baseball team.
Even with his success
in the other sports and
offers to continue both
his baseball and basketball careers in college,
the decision to choose
football was an easy one
for Kaileb.
“(Football) is a different kind of game,” Sheets
said. “You really have to
love it to play it.”
As a freshman at
Meigs, Sheets helped the
Maroon and Gold to a 3-7

season on the gridiron
and a 10-12 season on the
hardwood. The Marauders basketball team won
its ﬁfth-ever sectional
title in Sheets’ freshman
campaign, and Kaileb
earned All-Southeast District third team honors.
Sheets also excelled on
the varsity track and ﬁeld
for Meigs, as a freshman.
In his sophomore
season, Sheets helped
Meigs claim a 7-3 mark
on the gridiron, while
passing for 991 yards and
11 touchdowns, rushing
for 417 yards and three
TDs, and catching passes
for 279 yards and three
scores. Kaileb was an
All-Southeast District allpurpose ﬁrst teamer and
an All-Ohio Special Mention as a sophomore.
Kaileb helped the MHS
baseball team to a 14-7
record in his sophomore
season. Following his
sophomore campaign,
Sheets transferred to
Wahama, where he spent
his junior season before
returning to Meigs.
“When Kaileb left there
were no hard feelings,”
Bartrum said. “He and
his father made that decision and I supported it.
There were no guarantees
when he came back, he
had to earn his spot like
everybody else, and he
did real quick.
“I feel that the adversity
he dealt with between
Wahama and Meigs, he
dealt with the right way,”
Bartrum added. “He was
very professional and

very up front about everything. (MHS Principal)
Steve Ohlinger was in
on the process of Kaileb
coming back and I really
appreciate his help. He
covered all of our bases
and made sure everything was good with the
OHSAA.”
While at Wahama,
Sheets quarterbacked the
White Falcons to a 6-5
record and a postseason
appearance. In the regular season, Kaileb threw
for 742 yards and eight
touchdowns, while rushing for 1,052 yards and
11 scores. Sheets also
returned two kickoffs for
scores as a junior.
In a ﬁrst round playoff
loss to top-ranked St.
Mary’s, Sheets completed
12-of-25 passes for 212
yards and two touchdowns. Kaileb’s efforts on
the gridiron as a junior
earned him a spot on the
All-TVC Hocking ﬁrst
team and the Class A
All-West Virginia second
team.
As a junior on the
basketball court, Sheets
helped the Red and
White to a 12-11 record
and earned a ﬁrst team
All-TVC Hocking spot.
Sheets’ helped lead the
White Falcon baseball
team to a 25-7 record, a
share of the TVC Hocking title and the 2015
WVSSAC Class A Championship. Sheets was
named the the all-state
second team as a pitcher,

OHSAA state
meet, on Friday

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The
goal for any track and ﬁeld
athlete in the state of Ohio is
to ﬁnish your career on the
podium at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
Meigs senior Cory Scarberry
achieved that goal on Friday in
the capital city, placing sixth in
the boys’ seated shot put event,
with a toss of nine-feet and sixand-a-half inches.
“Cory did well, his p-r (personal record) 10-4, but this is a
big stage,” Marauders throws
coach Tyler Brothers said. “He
went out and competed, placed
sixth out of seven and that’s a
big accomplishment for him.
Fifth place was within reach,
but it just didn’t happen today.”
Bowling Green freshman Eric
Rine won the boys’ seated shot
put with a distance of 16-10.75,
just 1.75 inches farther than
runner-up Corey Chiou, who is
a freshman at Hillard Davidson.
Zion Clark of Washington was
third with a distance of 16-5,
Lakewood’s Rollin Abbott was
next at 15-9, while Wellsville
senior Michael Reiner was ﬁfth
with a toss of 10-9.25. Follow-

ing Scarberry was Brandon
Lanning of North Baltimore
with a distance of 8-9.
As a junior, Scarberry ﬁnished ﬁfth in the boys’ seated
shot put, tossing seven-feet and
two-and-a-half inches. Scarberry’s 2015 performance tied
Mason Metts 2009 ﬁnish in the
boys’ shot put as the best ﬁnish
at the state meet in Marauders
track and ﬁeld history.
“Cory gets really excited
about this, so I’m really glad he
had this opportunity,” Meigs
head coach Mike Kennedy said.
“His experience has been a big
help, because he started the
year throwing p-r throws and
he’s been really consistent. I
think he learned what he was

doing last year, and he really
put it into practice this year.
We are very fortunate to have
been able to purchase a throwing chair, and we’d like to thank
Meigs Local for putting in the
time and money to get that for
him. It’s really made a big difference.
Scarberry entered the state
meet with the sixth best qualifying throw, at 10-4. The state
record in the boys’ seated shot
put remains 25-8.75, a feat that
was reached in 2015 by Kent
Roosevelt’s Randy McMullen.
McMullen also holds the state
meet record with a distance of
24-8.25 last spring.

Afterwards, WHS coach Tom Cullen
noted that it wasn’t a perfect performance by his troops — but he also
quickly pointed out that the White
Falcons will have another chance Saturday to improve on some things.
“I’d like for us to hit the ball a little

making them make plays. Luckily, that

fanning nine.
Arrington and Nutter led the guests
with two hits apiece, followed by Hoffman, Grimm, Ricky Kearns and Dalton Kearns with a safety apiece.

Arrington, Edwards and Ricky
Kearns each scored a run apiece in the
triumph, with Oliver providing the
White Falcons’ only RBI.
Tyler Blair and Kenny Jo Adkins
had the lone hits for the Hillbillies.
The White Falcons — who have
now won seven straight state tournament games — will be appearing
in the program’s sixth state ﬁnal in
school history. Wahama won titles in
1996, 1998 and 2015, and also lost in
the state ﬁnals in both 1978 and 1988.
Wahama will face Wheeling Central
in the Class A ﬁnal Saturday afternoon, with a start time tentatively
scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at Power
Park.
The Maroon Knights (18-9) trailed
7-1 midway through the third and
were down again by a 9-3 margin
through ﬁve and a half frames, but
Wheeling Central scored the seven
unanswered runs — including ﬁve in
the bottom of the seventh — to rally
back for a 10-9 win over Pendleton
County in the other Class A semiﬁnal.
The Maroon Knights will be aiming
for their seventh state title, and ﬁrst
since 2011. The White Falcons are
gunning for their fourth state title and
ﬁrst repeat championship in program
history.
“We need seven more good innings
from our guys tomorrow, but I do like
our chances. After all, you have to be
in the state ﬁnal to win a state championship,” Cullen said. “It does help
that we have been here and done this
before.”

Silver: NBA needs progress by end of summer on NC
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
Adam Silver has steadfastly
refused to set any deadlines for
when the NBA would decide
on moving the 2017 All-Game
in Charlotte if a hotly debated
North Carolina law hasn’t been
changed.
In a way, he did before Game
1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, even as he said he’s
been pleased by the direction
of the discussions.
Silver said the NBA would
need to see deﬁnitive progress
toward changing the law by
the end of summer to ensure
that All-Star weekend remains
in Charlotte.
“I don’t see how we would
get past this summer without
knowing deﬁnitively where we
stand,” the NBA commissioner

said before the Golden State
Warriors hosted the Cleveland
Cavaliers.
The law excludes lesbian,
gay and transgender people
from state anti-discrimination
protections. It also blocks local
governments from expanding
LGBT protections, and bars all
types of workplace discrimination lawsuits from state courts.
The law also directs transgender people to use public toilets
corresponding to the sex listed
on their birth certiﬁcate.
Several entertainers have
already canceled scheduled
appearances in North Carolina
because of the law. But Silver
said he thinks there have been
productive talks about changing it that leave him optimistic
the NBA will not have to take

a similar approach with its
February showcase.
“I think both sides of the
issue recognize, however
heartfelt their views are, that
the current state of being is
causing enormous economic
damage to the state,” Silver
said. “I think they realize that
we very much would like to
play next year’s All-Star Game
in North Carolina, as I’ve said
before.”
Silver said he believed that
the portion of the law involving bathroom use has overshadowed what, for the league,
is the bigger issue of inclusion
and diversity. Silver called
those “core principles” on
which the NBA was founded.
“I think there are other fundamental issues that I think if

we can work through with the
community to ensure those
basic protections are given to
the LGBT community,” Silver
said. “I think if we can make
progress there, we will see you
all in Charlotte next February.”
Silver discussed an array
of issues in his annual preﬁnals media session, including
Warriors forward Draymond
Green’s propensity for kicking
his legs out during drives to
the basket, the performance of
the ofﬁcials during a postseason ﬁlled with disputed calls,
and ongoing discussions on
a new collective bargaining
agreement.
HACK-A-SHAQ: Silver spoke
glowingly about the state of
the game and the quality of the
product, but did continue his

push for changes to eliminate
the “Hack-a-Shaq” strategy in
which teams intentionally foul
poor free throw shooters.
“It’s not an attractive part of
the game,” Silver said.
DEAL MAKING: The
10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement has a clause
that allows either the players’
union or ownership to opt out
in 2017, and Silver remained
optimistic that the two sides
could avoid another work stoppage.
“I think there are aspects of
the collective bargaining agreement that both sides would like
to see addressed, and we’re
engaged in constructive discussions over how we can ﬁnd
ways to make the system even
better,” he said.

Keselowski stopped by the

“If I come twice, then people hate me,” he said, laughing.
Logano, who has forged a

in roughly 10 minutes before
rain brought the incomplete
session to a halt.
Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards com-

pleted the top ﬁve. Tony Stewart was sixth for easily his top
qualifying run of the season.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kurt
Busch and Denny Hamlin
rounded out the top 10.
Here are some other things
of note on a rainy day at
Pocono.
XFINITY DEBUT: NASCAR’s second-tier Xﬁnity
Series will race Saturday for
the ﬁrst time at Pocono. The
track has long held two Sprint
Cup race weekends and added
the Truck Series in 2010. The
250-miler is the ﬁrst secondtier race on a track which has
hosted NASCAR-sanctioned
events since 1974.
“It’s different to everything
else,” Joe Gibbs Racing driver
Daniel Suarez said. “I think
the corner one is just Pocono,
there’s nothing similar to that
corner. And two and three,
maybe something similar to
Indy and Indy is on my list of
favorite race tracks, so I think
I’m about to add Pocono to
the list, too.”
NASCAR CHASE: Chase
Elliott opened the season by
winning the pole at the Daytona 500 and hasn’t slowed
down much the rest of the
season.

The rookie tagged to replace
the retired Jeff Gordon in the
No. 24 Chevy and has four
straight top-10 ﬁnishes and
six of seven overall. He was a
career-best third last month at
Dover International Speedway,
losing out on a down-thestretch battle with Kyle Larson and Matt Kenseth.
He’s still looking for his ﬁrst
Cup victory as he heads Sunday into his 19th career race.
“I feel like I have a team and
a group of guys that are capable of winning if I do my part
for them,” he said. “I truly
believe that. When I come to
the race track each weekend,
I really have the strong belief
that our team can win. I think
that’s something that’s important for all of us to believe.
And if we didn’t believe that,
we might as well stay home.”
He was the fastest-qualifying rookie at 13th.
QUALIFYING NOTES:
Denny Hamlin had advanced
to the ﬁnal round of qualifying
at every race this season.
Keselowski won his 12th
pole in 247 Cup races. He had
never started better than third
in 13 races at Pocono.
Chevy put six cars in the
top 12.

Dusty Baker welcomed back to city where he made the playoffs
By Joe Kay
AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — Dusty Baker felt a
little strange in his return to the place
he used to call home. It didn’t take
long for him to get welcomed, though.
The Nationals manager got a haircut
and felt some love from Reds fans who
would love to have him back.
Baker returned to town for a weekend series against the Reds, who ﬁred
him after another early-round playoff
exit in 2013. Since then, the Reds
have become one of the NL’s worst
teams. Baker’s Nationals lead the NL
East.
It is his ﬁrst time back in town for
baseball. He was part of an event at
the National Underground Railroad
Freedom Center in November that
allowed him to emotionally move past
his unexpected departure.
“That helped some,” Baker said on
Friday, sitting in an interview room
at Great American Ball Park reserved
for special occasions. “I know a lot of
people here, met a lot of people here
who were good to me.”
Baker managed the Reds for six seasons, helping a young team become
a contender ahead of schedule. Cincinnati won the NL Central in 2010
and reached the playoffs in three of
four years, its best stretch of playoff appearances since the Big Red

Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker (12) shakes hands with Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan
Price, center left, before the game Friday in Cincinnati. Baker, who managed the Reds for six seasons,
returned to town for a weekend series against the team that fired him after another early-round
playoff exit in 2013. Since then, the Reds have become one of the NL’s worst teams. Baker’s Nationals
lead the NL East. The Reds won 7-2.

Machine in the 1970s.
After a loss to Pittsburgh in the
2013 wild card game, the Reds ﬁred
Baker with a year left on his contract.
The front ofﬁce wanted to keep the
club intact but while ﬁring hitting
coach Brook Jacoby. Baker suggested
they keep Jacoby and make some
changes in the roster.
Cincinnati lost 86 in 2014 and 98

last year, and the Reds are on pace for
what would be only the second season
of 100 or more losses in their history.
Baker got in town with his team and
had some time to get re-acclimated.
He went to his former barber shop
for a close trim — he rubbed his hand
over the top of his head to show off
the new cut. He also paid attention to
the chatter.

“Guys were talking stuff in the barbershop,” Baker said. “Most people,
they sort of tell you: ‘Hey, we miss
you.’ I started thinking about way
back, one time an old girlfriend said
she missed me after she broke up with
me. And maybe you weren’t so bad
after all.”
Baker was surprised when the Reds
decided to launch into a full-scale
rebuilding last season. He thought
the team could have remained a contender with some tweaks.
“We were close, really close,” Baker
said. “But people do what they want
to do with their system. And I’m very
happy where I am. I really like Washington, D.C.”
Baker remains close to several
Reds players, including outﬁelder Jay
Bruce, who sent him photos when his
child was born last month. Joey Votto
came over to see Baker during batting
practice on Friday, rubbing his closetrimmed hair while Baker showed his
own.
Bruce and Billy Hamilton were
among the former players who went
out of their way to seek him out. So
did the coaches.
“You live and die and cry and laugh
with a bunch of guys for a long period
of time, you form bonds that are there
forever,” Baker said.

Frustrated Cavs seek win
OAKLAND, Calif.
(AP) — LeBron James
sat down on the bench
in the fourth quarter as
the game slipped away,
threw his hands up and
grimaced in frustration.
His Cleveland Cavaliers
had done everything right
against the Splash Brothers. And yet everything
still went so wrong as this
highly anticipated NBA
Finals rematch kicked off.
The Cavaliers shot 38
percent and couldn’t ﬁnd
a way to stop the Golden
State Warriors’ supporting cast in a 104-89 loss
on Thursday night.
Curry and Thompson
combined for just 20
points on 8-for-27 shooting, but the Warriors’
bench outscored Cleveland’s reserves 45-10 and
the Cavaliers coughed up
17 turnovers that led to

25 points for the defending champions.
“Don’t matter what you
do with Steph and Klay,
don’t matter what you do
with Draymond (Green),”
James said. “Give up 45
points off the bench and
25 points off turnovers on
the road, it’s not a good
ingredient to win.”
Playing in his sixth
straight NBA Finals,
James delivered with 23
points, 12 rebounds and
nine assists. Kevin Love
was strong as well in
his ﬁnals debut with 17
points and 13 boards.
Curry and Thompson
were 4 for 13 from 3-point
range and the two-time
MVP turned the ball over
ﬁve times, but the Cavs
succumbed to a tide they
never saw coming.
“For the most part I’m
pleased with what we did

defensively against Steph
and Klay,” Cleveland
coach Tyronn Lue said.
“Their bench did a good
job for them.”
Game 2 is Sunday in
Oakland.
Kyrie Irving scored 26
points, but shot just 7 of
22. Tristan Thompson
had 10 points and 12
rebounds for the Cavs,
who are trying to end a
pro sports championship
drought in Cleveland
that extends back ﬁve
decades.
If they can’t beat the
Warriors when their biggest stars aren’t raining
3-pointers, the ﬁnals
rematch that everyone
wanted could be over
a lot sooner than most
predicted.
But James knows
this series is just getting started, and the
Cavaliers had the Warriors and raucous Oracle
Arena a little nervous
when they jumped ahead
in the third quarter while
Curry and Thompson
ﬂailed away.
“We had a chance in
that third quarter to do
something special, but
we didn’t counter and do
it,” James said. “Didn’t
make it happen in the
fourth quarter. So I’m
looking forward to seeing the ﬁlm session and
seeing ways we can get
better going into Game
2, and I think our team
will as well.”
All of the talk for the
Cavaliers headed into the
rematch was about the
ability of Irving and Love
- two defensively deﬁcient players - to keep
the high-scoring Warriors in front of them.
Curry and Thompson
didn’t have the ﬁeld day
that many expected, but
the Cavs could never
capitalize.

Zeke pick leaves Cowboys stacked
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Ezekiel
Elliott ran with the ﬁrst team in offseason practices for the Dallas Cowboys this week.
That’s at least partly because Darren McFadden was out for personal
reasons.
As for how the depth chart will look
at running back in three months going
into the opener against the New York
Giants, the Cowboys are tiptoeing
around the question in an age when
No. 4 overall picks are almost always
walk-in starters, regardless of position.
It’s an interesting issue in Dallas
because McFadden was fourth in the
NFL in rushing last season with 1,089
yards even though he was the lead
back for just 10 games.
Not to mention that before drafting
Elliott out of Ohio State, the Cowboys
signed free agent Alfred Morris, who
made the Pro Bowl twice in Washington. Or that the versatile Lance Dunbar should return from a knee injury
at some point in 2016.
“Those things work themselves
out,” executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said. “If you
ever think you’re going to go into a
training camp and think that people
aren’t trying to take your job, then
you’ve got a surprise coming in the
NFL.
“I know that Darren McFadden,
Alfred Morris and Lance Dunbar certainly know that Zeke didn’t come in

At the same time, Elliott is saying
all the right things — the job isn’t his
and he has plenty to learn. He even
acknowledged last week, his ﬁrst with
the full squad in practice, that the
speed of the NFL initially shocked
him a bit.
But now it’s been almost a month
since the star of the Buckeyes’ title

Southern students honored at scholarship banquet
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

RACINE — Racine Area
Community Organization is
an active supporter of the
Southern Local School District,
and much of their fundraising
efforts throughout the year are
to advance their scholarship
program for graduating seniors
who have chosen to continue
their education.
This year, RACO, along with
other community participants,
presented Southern graduates
with $22,550 at a banquet in
their honor Tuesday at Racine
Baptist Church Fellowship Hall.
The scholarship recipients are
announced during the awards
ceremony at Southern High
School before graduation, but
are presented with the scholarships during the banquet.
After dinner, Kathryn
Hart took the microphone to
acknowledge all the RACO
members and volunteers that
assisted with fundraising
efforts during the past year.
“The yard sales made it possible for each of the 10 RACO
scholarship recipients to each
receive $1,000 scholarships,”
Hart said. “We have already
started collection and prep for
next year’s scholarships. There
are so many people who made
this possible. RACO members,
what we call our ‘silent’ volunteers, those who generously
donated items for the sales, all
of these people contributed.”
She said the remainder of the
scholarships that are awarded
come from “people who are
looking for ways to honor
parents, spouses and loved
ones and do so by establishing
a scholarship in their name.
Another source is the Cruisin’
Saturday Night Car Show during Party in the Park in Racine;
the proceeds from the show go
to the scholarship fund. And
then there are people who have
graduated from Southern who
just want to give back.”
The ﬁrst presentations were
for recipients of RACO scholarships, and included Elizabeth
Wolfe, daughter of Kimberly
and Jamie Wolfe, who will be
attending Kent State and plans
to major in communications
and pursue a masters in library
science. She said Science

Olympiad helped her with public speaking and communicating with others.
Kris Shortridge, son of Jen
Shortridge and Fred Nero, said
he will use the opportunity
to attend Ohio University to
explore majors before deciding
on a course of study.
Maddie Quillen, daughter
of Melanie and Jason Quillen, plans to be a physiology
major at Ohio University. After
graduation, she would ﬁrst like
to work in schools and then
pursue a masters in psychology
and open her own practice.
Kalynn Seymour, daughter
of Cindy Seymour, will be
studying integrated language
arts and plans to teach middle
school students after graduation . She will be traveling
to Spain this summer before
beginning her ﬁrst semester at
Ohio University.
Madison Maynard, daughter
of Junie and Brad Maynard,
will be attending the University
of Rio Grande as a business
major.
Dimitruous Lamm, son of
Terry and Rochelle Lamm,
will study biology at Otterbein
University this fall. Lamm
plans to continue his studies to
become a veterinarian by earning his doctorate in zoology. He
already has some experience,
having volunteered at Meigs
Vet Clinic.
Jansen Wolfe, daughter of
Jimmy and Theresa Wolfe, is
going to Ohio University to
pursue a doctorate in physical
therapy and thanked all those
who made her scholarship possible.
Alison Deem, daughter of
Tony and Wendy Deem, will
ﬁrst attend Hocking College,
where she will major in nursing. She then plans to ﬁnish
with a degree at Ohio University.
Elizabeth Teaford, daughter
of Forest and Launa Teaford,
has plans to become a large
animal veterinarian and will
begin her studies at Ohio State
University Agricultural Technical Institute, Wooster campus,
studying pre-veterinarian science, then ﬁnish at the OSU
main campus in large animal
science.

and was unable to attend the
banquet.
Hart then introduced the
recipients of the Edison and
Mabel Brace Memorial Scholarships, established by Hart to
honor her parents’ wishes of
helping Southern graduates.
Hart said her father began
working and only ﬁnished his
schooling through seventh
grade and that her mother was
a homemaker, and her mother
instructed Hart before her passing that she wanted establish a
scholarship in Edison’s name.
When Mable passed, Hart honored her mother with her own
scholarship in 2015. and then
merged the two.
There were four recipients
of the Brace Scholarship, each
receiving $600: Savannah
Bailey, daughter of Boyd and
Toni Bailey, University of Rio
Grande; Cameryn Harmon,
daughter of Bill and Jan Harmon, Ohio University; Kalynn
Seymour; Jansen Wolfe.

21st century wonders
New Haven math students connect math
skills with latest technology development
By Mindy Kearns
For the Register

NEW HAVEN, W.Va. —
Fifth-graders at New Haven
Elementary recently learned
the correlation between mathematics and the latest technology, when technology integration specialists from RESA 5
attended “Techy Tuesday.”
According to teacher Kira
Northup, the ﬁfth-grade math
students became extremely
interested in the latest technology after reading the
March issue of Scholastic’s
“DynaMath” newsletter. She
said the entire issue involved
coding, robots and the Lego
League.
Northup invited her husband, Nick, an employee of
RESA 5, to her classroom
to explain the technology he
teaches in the adult education
classes in Point Pleasant. He,
along with Todd Murray, TIS
in Jackson County, and Julie
Hagan, TIS and regional
adult education coordinator, used the opportunity for
community outreach to the

elementary students.
Students were able to view
the technology in stations,
where they saw a 3-D printer
at work, experienced virtual
reality, built a robot, and participated in “Makey-Makey.”
The children were shown
items made with the 3-D
printer, including a replica
of the famous Eiffel Tower.
Kira Northup said the printer
taught the children fractions
and proportions.
Time was also learned,
when the RESA 5 employees
presented each child with a
glow-in-the-dark “Pi” symbol
backpack pull, made with the
printer. With 72 backpack
pulls in all, the children ﬁgured the amount of time it
took for the pulls to be made.
The Google cardboard virtual reality goggles allowed
the children to walk the
streets of Paris, among other
adventures. Using this device,
the students learned measurements and how tall buildings
are.
Kira Northup said the Lego
robot taught arrays, while the

various items to see if they were conductors of electricity, including apples and
oranges.

All of the technology is used
in the adult education classes
taught by RESA 5, which is
based in Parkersburg. Nick

used to entice the adult learners to get their GED, and to
look at colleges and different
careers.

century technology,” Hagan
said.
Hagan also stated while this
was the ﬁrst time the instructors taught in an elementary
setting, many RESA 5 employees take part in Read Across
America Day, during which
community leaders go into the

schools to read to students.
She concluded by saying she
believes in the importance of
showing students the opportunities of technology.

Meanwhile, the Meigs
County Board of Health
continues to demonstrate its
support for the Meigs County
Relay for Life and the Meigs
County ACS Volunteer Leadership Council by encouraging staff participation with
planning, promotion and fundraising.
Next, the MCHD collaborates with the MCCI to
coordinate a convenient transportation assistance program
for Meigs County cancer
survivors who are traveling
to cancer-related treatment
and/or medical appointments.
Fuel vouchers and fast food
gift cards are offered on a
monthly basis (contingent
upon the availability of funds)
to cancer survivors who com-

plete the application process.
Vouchers are only redeemable
at service stations situated
with Meigs County and fast
food gift cards are purchased
from local restaurants keeping donated funds in the local
economy. Contact me at 740992-6626 for more information.
Finally, the MCHD assists
as requested the ACCN,
which is building its research
agenda on alleviating the
disproportionate burden of
cancer in the Appalachian
areas of Kentucky, Ohio
(including Meigs County),
Pennsylvania, Virginia and
West Virginia. Cervical,
colorectal and lung/bronchus
cancers are ACCN priority
cancers and the focus of many
ACCN-sponsored research
and community outreach
activities, due to the elevated
incidence rates for these
cancers in the Appalachian
region.

The National Cancer
Institute recognizes
residents of Appalachia as a
population with cancer health
disparities. The MCHD has
provided physical space to
accommodate the conduction
of clinical projects/studies.
In addition, MCHD staff has
been asked to provide insight,
recommendations and letters
of support for the success of
ACCN projects and activities.
Staff has also participated
on the Appalachia Ohio
Community Advisory Board.
In conclusion, may we
always remember our cancer
survivors, appreciate the
struggles associated with a
diagnosis and help them as
we can.
