Gallia man
found not guilty
for dog deaths
By Michael Johnson

michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — A former assistant county dog
warden charged in connection with the deaths
of several dogs between March 2012 and Valentine’s Day 2014 was acquitted Thursday of those
charges.
Jason Harris, who originally faced 12 counts of
misdemeanor animal cruelty, was found not guilty
Thursday during his jury trial in Gallipolis Municipal Court.
The decision brings to an end more than a year
of charges and numerous court appearances by the
three former animal shelter employees.
Harris, along with former Gallia County dog
wardens Paul L. Simmers and Jean Daniels, were
charged with multiple counts of second-degree
misdemeanor animal cruelty in the deaths of the
dogs at the Gallia County Animal Shelter.
Court documents alleged the trio didn’t follow
the correct procedure during the euthanasia process and caused the animals to suffer unnecessary
pain. The misdemeanor charges were first brought
by Gallipolis City Solicitor Adam R. Salisbury in
March 2014 after Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff
Adkins announced that no felony charges were
forthcoming from the incident.
Last June, Simmers and Daniels each entered
no contest pleas, according to court documents
obtained by the Gallipolis Daily Tribune. Both
received a $25 fine and were ordered to pay court
costs, as well as attend a state-approved 16-hour
course with the American Humane Association.
All except one charge of misdemeanor animal
cruelty
Court proceedings involving Harris’ case were
delayed several times during the past 13 months.
Harris had maintained his innocence with a plea
of not guilty while his case was rescheduled more
than six times between April 2014 and October
2014.
The case gained a full head of steam shortly
after the Valentine’s Day 2014 incident when the
Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of
Animals said it planned to “fully investigate” the
deaths of 11 dogs at the Gallia County Animal
Shelter. The Ohio SPCA cited the concerns of the
Friends of Gallia County’s Animals, a local rescue
group whose members had said all of the dogs
killed were vaccinated and in the process of being
adopted.
The dog deaths eventually led the Gallia County
Board of Commissioners to create the Gallia
County Canine Management Committee, a group
made up of community members and county staff
that provides recommendations and guidance
about all things concerning the Gallia County Animal Shelter.
Harris, who faced a possible three years in jail
and $9,000 in fines, could not be reached for comment at press time.

erans to Washington,
D.C., for the day to tour
various monuments, like
the WWII Memorial, the
Vietnam Wall, and the
Changing of the Guard
at Arlington National
Cemetery.
The catch is that the
trip is free for veterans.
The group arranges
flights with around 80
veterans from Columbus
to Baltimore, where the
veterans will receive a
police escort all the way
to D.C.
According to Operations Director Kay
Downing, each veteran is paired up with a
“guardian,” whose job is
to take care of the veteran in D.C. and they don’t
miss their flight back
home. Downing said
the guardians are a big
reason why the program

has been so successful.
The Honor Flight
program is a non-profit
organization that is run
by volunteers. According
to Downing, each trip
costs around $56,000,
which includes the
flight, meals, water, etc.,
and the money for these
trips is all donated by
businesses and people
who just want to donate.
The trips are only available to WWII, Korean
and TLC (Their Last
Chance) veterans at the
moment, but Downing
said that they will be
taking applications for
Vietnam veterans soon.
To date, Honor Flight
Columbus has flown
3,679 veterans to Washington, D.C.
“The group is run by
grateful Americans who
want to thank the vet-

erans for their service,”
Downing said.
Since being included
in the program in 2007,
Walter Hanna, who
severed in the Coast
Guard during WWII, is
the only veteran from
Gallia County on record
to take part in the program. Downing said
she is hopeful that good
word of mouth from
past flights will increase
the number from Gallia
County and across the
state.
The flights are seated
on a “first come, first
served” basis and are
seated according to
when veterans served.
The only requirement
is that attendees have a
DD214. Downing said
that the April 18 flight is
already booked with 86
veterans and the May 9

flight is close to full, but
said they are still taking
bookings for the May 30,
Aug. 29, Sept. 19 and
Oct. 10 flights.
Downing said they
are currently running
a reduced hotel rate of
$89 for veterans in the
southeastern Ohio area.
This will cover the night
before the flight and
after returning the day
of the trip.

Commission discusses Sporn Plant closure
By Beth Sergent

bsergent@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT — The
closure of the Philip Sporn
Plant in New Haven, namely
how its closure will affect
employees, was a topic of
discussion at the most recent
Mason County Commission
meeting.
Commissioners received a
standard letter from Sporn’s
plant manager notifying them
of how many workers will be
affected by the plant’s closure
on May 31.
American Electric Power’s
Appalachian Power anticipates
75 employees will be affected
by the closure. Commissioners
then began an informal

discussion about this that
included hearing information
that all but five of those 75 had
been placed in other jobs with
AEP.
Jeri Matheney, director
of communications with
Appalachian Power, told the
Point Pleasant Register that
this number of 70 employees
already being placed or taking
severance packages was “at
least true” and “we’re not done
… we’ll still keep working to
place anyone else.”
She added the “vast, vast
majority” of the 75 employees
had been placed in other
jobs or accepted severance
packages.
The closure of the plant has
been known for four years,

which gave Appalachian Power
an opportunity to begin a
process to place employees.
“We’ve been holding jobs
for these people … we have
the Mountaineer and Gavin
plants that were very close by
so they (employees) were in
a good situation where they
could practically go next door,”
Matheney said.
She added there were
still employees making final
decisions on whether or not
to take a severance package or
move to another job within the
company.
A small amount of personnel
will remain at the plant after
the shut down procedure,
which will include security.

Ferguson releases
racist emails from clerk
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Racist
emails released Friday by the city of
Ferguson indicate most were sent by
a former city court clerk to two police
officers, and there’s no indication
other city employees were involved.
The emails were discovered during an investigation into the Aug. 9
fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael
Brown, who was black and unarmed,
by a white police officer.
A grand jury in November declined
to indict the former officer, Darren
Wilson, who also was cleared of civil
rights violations by the U.S. Department of Justice in March.
But a separate Justice Department
report last month found widespread
racial bias in Ferguson’s policing
efforts and the municipal court system, which it said was driven by
profit mostly extracted from black
and low-income residents.
The report cited a series of inappro-

number of city employees, including
one message that compared black welfare recipients to mixed-breed dogs.
Several of the emails focused on President Barack Obama, including one
that stated he wouldn’t be in office for
long because “what black man holds a
steady job for four years.”
It appears that most of the emails
released Friday and obtained by news
outlets were sent from Court Clerk
Mary Ann Twitty to police Capt. Rick
Henke and Sgt. William Mudd.
Twitty was fired over the emails,
while the two officers resigned.

Our library also gives you access to audio

While the fastest and most convenient way to
get one of our publications is by visiting www.
socialsecurity.gov/pubs, if you prefer a good, oldfashioned printed copy, you can call us at 410-9652039 and ask us to mail you a copy.
Social Security has been serving the American
public since 1935, the same year that paperback
pioneer Penguin Books released its first title. The
difference is that, now, the publications we provide are available in more than just paper form.
Whether you prefer print, electronic, audio, or an
alternative format, Social Security has a good read
for you.
Don’t have a lot of time for reading? Don’t
worry. Our publications are a much easier read
than Tolstoy’s classic, “War and Peace.” We write
in plain language so that the information is easy to

When you’re going through a life-changing event
and need our services, having access to information on every one of our benefit programs will help
make your next chapter one for the books.

TODAY IN HISTORY...
Today is Easter Sunday,
April 5, the 95th day of
2015. There are 270 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlights in
History:
On April 5, 1965, “My
Fair Lady” won the Academy Award for best picture,
and one of its stars, Rex
Harrison, was named best
actor; Julie Andrews won
best actress for “Mary Poppins.” The single version
of The Beach Boys’ “Help
Me, Rhonda” was released
by Capitol Records.
On this date:
In 1614, Indian Chief
Powhatan’s daughter
Pocahontas married Englishman John Rolfe in the
Virginia Colony. England’s
King James I convened
the second Parliament
of his rule; the “Addled
Parliament,” as it came to
be known, lasted only two
months.
In 1764, Britain’s Parliament passed The American
Revenue Act of 1764, also
known as The Sugar Act.
In 1887, in Tuscumbia,
Ala., teacher Anne Sullivan

achieved a breakthrough
as her 6-year-old deaf-blind
pupil, Helen Keller, learned
the meaning of the word
“water” as spelled out in
the Manual Alphabet. British historian Lord Acton
wrote in a letter, “Power
tends to corrupt, and
absolute power corrupts
absolutely. Great men are
almost always bad men.”
In 1895, Oscar Wilde
lost his criminal libel case
against the Marquess
of Queensberry, who’d
accused the writer of
homosexual practices.
In 1915, Jess Willard
knocked out Jack Johnson
in the 26th round of their
fight in Havana, Cuba,
to claim boxing’s world
heavyweight title.
In 1925, a tornado
estimated at F-3 intensity
struck northern MiamiDade County, Fla., killing
five people.
In 1933, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
signed an executive order
creating the Civilian Conservation Corps and an
anti-hoarding order that

effectively prohibited private ownership of gold.
In 1955, British
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill resigned his
office for health reasons.
Democrat Richard J. Daley
was first elected mayor of
Chicago, defeating Republican Robert E. Merriam.
In 1975, nationalist
Chinese leader Chiang
Kai-shek died in Taipei at
age 87.
In 1976, during an
outdoor demonstration
against court-ordered
school busing in Boston,
a white teenager swung a
pole holding an American
flag at a black attorney
in a scene captured in a
Pulitzer Prize-winning
photograph by Stanley Forman of the Boston Herald
American.
In 1986, two American
servicemen and a Turkish
woman were killed in the
bombing of a West Berlin
discotheque, an incident
which prompted a U.S. air
raid on Libya more than a
week later.

BEREA, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande
swept both of the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s weekly awards on Monday,
with shortstop Kevin Arroyo earning Player of
the Week honors and sophomore Trent Downs
collecting Pitcher of the Week kudos.
Arroyo, a senior from Toa Baja, Puerto Rico,
finished the week hitting .458 (11-for-24) as
the RedStorm posted a 5-1 record in their six
outings. He recorded seven doubles, nine runs
batted in and scored seven runs.
Arroyo recorded four multi-hit games, including a 4-for-5 game against Brescia. In the game
against Brescia, Arroyo tied a single–game
school record with four doubles and had a
career-high seven runs batted in. He began the
week hitting .322 (29-for-90) and ranked 12th
in NAIA total doubles (14).
Downs, a sophomore from Chillicothe, Ohio,
earned a save and a win in his two outings for
head coach Brad Warnimont’s squad.
Downs pitched three innings and earned
a save in a 9-5 win against Pikeville, allowing one hit and striking out five. He followed
that with a complete game shutout - the first
of each in his career - in his first career start
against Brescia last Saturday. He surrendered
just four hits and struck out three Brescia hitters.
Downs improved to 2-0 on the season. He
has a 2.00 earned run average in 18 innings
this season.

Rio’s Rollins named
KIAC Player of the Week
BEREA, Ky. — University of Rio Grande catcher Kim Rollins was named the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Softball Player of the
Week on Monday.
Rollins, a junior from Cincinnati, Ohio, finished
the week with a .476 batting average (10-for-21) as
the RedStorm won each of their six outings. She
recorded three home runs, a double, 11 runs batted in and scored nine runs.
Rollins had at least one hit and one RBI in each
game that she had a plate appearance. She also
had four multi-hit games, including a 3-for-4 game
against Alice Lloyd and began the week with a
.318 batting average (14-for-44) for the season.

Wahama tops Tornadoes, 12-1
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

MASON, W.Va. — Taking advantage
of those extra opportunities.
The Wahama baseball team benefited from six Southern errors
while leading wire to wire Wednesday night during a 12-1 victory in a
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at J.C. Cook Field in
Mason County.
The host White Falcons (3-1, 2-0
TVC Hocking) plated seven runs in
the opening three frames, with only
one of those scores coming in an
earned fashion. The visiting Tornadoes — who were outhit 5-4 overall
in the contest — committed five of
their errors during those same three
innings.
SHS did muster a run in the top of
the fourth after Trey Pickens led things
off with a single, then later scored
on an error for a 7-1 contest midway
through four frames.
WHS retaliated by sending 10 batters to the plate in its half of the fourth,
which resulted in five runs on one hit,
five walks and an error — making it a
12-1 contest headed into the fifth.
Pickens and Bradley McCoy each
produced a hit in Southern’s final atbat, but were ultimately left stranded
as WHS wrapped up the mercy-rule
decision in five innings. Both teams
stranded six runners on base and
Wahama also committed two errors in
the triumph.

over five frames while striking out six.
Pickens took the loss for SHS after surrendering four runs (one earned) and
four hits over 1.1 innings of work.
Ricky Kearns, Philip Hoffman, Kris
Clark, Ryan Thomas and Jared Oliver
each had a hit for the White Falcons,
with Oliver leading the offense with

two RBIs. Thomas scored a team-high
three runs, while Clark and Oliver each
scored twice.
Pickens and McCoy paced the SHS
offense with two hits each. Pickens
scored the lone run for the Tornadoes.

Reds’ rotation is focal point as they try to bounce back
CINCINNATI (AP) — The
rotation was Cincinnati’s
strength in an otherwise disappointing season last year. It’s
the Reds’ biggest question as
they try to move forward.
They’re not sure what they’re
getting beyond 20-game-winner
Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake,
the only two holdovers who
are healthy enough to pitch
as the season begins. They’ve
got some veteran retreads and
unproven young starters trying
to hold it together.
The rotation could be a work
in progress well into the season.
“I know what the regular
lineup looks like,” second-year
manager Bryan Price said.
“The biggest challenge is the
bullpen and deciding roles and
finalizing the last two starting
pitchers.”
The Reds created two openings by trading Mat Latos and
Alfredo Simon in the offseason. Homer Bailey hasn’t fully
recovered from surgery on his

forearm and won’t be ready
until at least mid-April.
Cincinnati is counting on
Anthony DeSclafani, who was
acquired from Miami in the
trade for Latos, to fill one of
the spots. The rest of the rotation was under construction
late in spring training, a sign of
how much things had changed
from a year ago.
“We feel we have a competitive team,” Price said. “This
isn’t a rebuilt situation. So we
have to feel as confident as we
can one-through-five in our
rotation.”
The Reds lost 86 games last
season in large part because of
a subpar offense and a bullpen
that finished as one of the NL’s
worst. They’ve tried to fix
those two problems in the offseason through trades and free
agency.
Now, a lot of it is on the starters to make it hold together during a special season in Cincinnati, which will host the All-Star
Game. Some things to watch:

CUETO’S CONTRACT
Cueto is entering the final
year on his deal. The Reds have
talked to him about an extension, but nothing was imminent as spring training wound
down. If Cueto doesn’t have an
extension by midseason, the
Reds would be in the position
of considering a trade offer
rather than letting him leave as
a free agent after the season.
VOTTO’S LEG
First baseman Joey Votto
didn’t play after July 5
because of strained muscles
above his left knee. The 2010
National League MVP felt
good in spring training. The
Reds struggled to score runs
last season despite playing in
hitter-friendly Great American
Ball Park. If Votto is back
to form, the offense will get
a huge boost. The question
is whether he can make it
through the season without
getting hurt again.
“I think that I’ve proven

when healthy that I’m a helpful
part of the team,” Votto said.
NEEDING RELIEF
The bullpen was one of the
biggest problems in the second
half of the season, contributing to the Reds’ collapse. They
were only 1 1/2 games out in
the NL Central at the All-Star
break, but went 25-42 the rest
of the way. The bullpen was
1-17 after the break. Closer
Aroldis Chapman was dependable, but the middle of the bullpen was a huge problem. The
Reds added Burke Badenhop
and Kevin Gregg to try to help,
and moved left-hander Tony
Cingrani into a relief role during spring training.

Phillies, hoping to finally stabilize the position. The 14-year
veteran knows there’s a lot at
stake in how he performs.
“Yes, there is pressure and
there should be,” Byrd said.
“This is a team that wanted
me. I’ve got to come in to fill
that veteran role, the left field
spot, and bring some pop to
the lineup. I have to do what
I’ve done the last two years. To
do any less is just a failure on
my part.”

RUN BILLY RUN
Center fielder Billy Hamilton had an exceptional rookie
season, stealing a club-record

the season went along, batting only .200 with 18 steals

Kentucky players make their way to the court for a Friday practice session for the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball
semifinal game in Indianapolis. Kentucky plays Wisconsin today.

Kentucky tries to keep things perfect
By Eddie Pells
AP National Writer

INDIANAPOLIS —
Next in the way of Kentucky’s perfect season:
Frank the Tank and his
fun-loving band of Wisconsin teammates.
Player of the Year
Frank Kaminsky and
the Badgers were so
loose they were giggling
on the podium during
their interviews Friday,
answering questions
about what they eat
(Kaminsky likes omelets
with syrup on top), how
they slept (Sam Dekker
got eight solid hours) and
what their word of the
day is for the poor NCAA
stenographers they discovered earlier at the
tournament (Nigel Hayes
went with “prestidigitation”).
The team they face Saturday, 38-0 Kentucky, is
also trying to keep things
pressure-free, and their
coach, John Calipari, tried
working some magic of
his own with the numbers.
“Everybody is 0-0,”
Calipari said. “Whether
you’re Duke, Michigan
State, Wisconsin or us,
everybody’s record is the
same. We’re all feeling the
same thing. We all want to
win a national title.”
If the Wildcats do,
they’ll be the first program since the 1975-76
Indiana Hoosiers to finish
a season as undefeated
champions — an accom-

plishment that hovers over
everything this week at
what is shaping up as a
monumental Final Four
because of the history
involved.
“If we do complete that
goal, I couldn’t even put it
into words,” said Andrew
Harrison, whose two free
throws were the difference in the 68-66 win over
Notre Dame in the Midwest Regional final.
But undefeated doesn’t
necessarily mean perfect,
and Wisconsin is hardly
in awe.
This is a rematch of last
year’s semifinal. In that
game, the Badgers (35-3)
were leading Kentucky by
two when Harrison’s twin
brother, Aaron, spotted
up from behind the upperleft part of the arc with
5.7 seconds left and made
his second straight gamewinning 3-pointer.
“He has that clutch
gene,” Dekker said after
that one.
One notable stat
from that 74-73 thriller:
Kaminsky finished with
only eight points and five
rebounds.
The 7-foot center, who
averages 18 points and
almost nine rebounds this
season and will likely go in
the first round of the NBA
draft, said he would have
returned for his senior
season either way. Still,
the loss — and the way it
went down — left a mark.
“It’s obviously motivating because you want to

come back to this stage,”
Kaminsky said. “This is
what seasons are remembered for. You remember
the national champion at
the end of the season.”
Win or lose, these
Kentucky players will
be remembered — and
watched some more.
Freshman Karl-Anthony
Towns — likely to
become one of Calipari’s
much-discussed “one-anddones” — is a probable
lottery pick, as is junior
Willie Cauley-Stein. The
Harrison brothers and
four or five more are also
expected to wind up in the
NBA, too.
Wisconsin has a few
future pros — Kaminsky,
Dekker and Hayes. But
it’s no big secret that the
Badgers won’t win on raw
talent.
“Do you think I have to

tell my players that this is
a big game or that Kentucky’s pretty good?” Badgers coach Bo Ryan said.
“They are. I think our
guys are astute enough to
figure that part out.”
THE POSTMEN: The
big man is back — at
least at this Final Four.
This game will feature
three of best: Kaminsky
for Wisconsin and 6-11
Towns and 7-foot CauleyStein for Kentucky. The
Wildcats also have Trey
Lyles at 6-10 and Marcus
Lee at 6-9. To practice for
Kentucky’s height, Ryan
tinkered with the idea
of using tennis rackets
to swat down shots at
practice. “But with these
guys, they might have
started whacking each
other with them,” he said.
“We can’t simulate what
they have.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Even before the first pitch of the
2015 season is thrown, an eye-popping baseball record
will be set.
The average salary when opening-day rosters are finalized Sunday will break the $4 million barrier for the first
time, according to a study of all major league contracts
by The Associated Press. Dodgers pitcher Clayton
Kershaw tops players at $31 million and Los Angeles
projects to open the season with a payroll at about $270
million, easily a record.
“We’re enjoying a tremendously bountiful season in
baseball,” said Toronto pitcher R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL
Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets.
Fueled by the largest two-year growth in more than
a decade, the average salary projects to be about $4.25
million, according to the AP study, with the final figure
depending on how many players are put on the disabled
list before the first pitch is thrown. That is up from $3.95
million on the first day of last season and $3.65 million
when 2013 began.
“MLB’s revenues have grown in recent years, with the
increase in national and local broadcast rights fees being
a primary contributor,” said Dan Halem, MLB’s chief
legal officer. “It is expected that player compensation will
increase as club revenues increase.”
Baseball’s average was approximately $50,000 in 1976,
the last year before free agency. Back then, many players
took offseason jobs to pay their bills.
Now almost all of them do their heavy lifting in gyms,
not warehouses.
In a $9 billion industry propelled by ballpark luxury
suites and premium tickets, regional sports networks and
streaming video, more than half the major leaguers are
millionaires.
The average broke the $1 million mark in 1992, topped
$2 million in 2001 and reached $3 million in 2008.
By comparison, the Consumer Price Index for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers has risen slightly less
than fourfold since the first class of free agents started
negotiations in November 1976. And the average U.S.
wage in 2013, the latest figure available, was $44,888,
according to the Social Security Administration, up 1.28
percent from 2012.
“It isn’t just the TV deals,” union head Tony Clark
wrote in an email to the AP. “From the parity on the field
to the fan support &amp; business off it (including the national TV contracts), the industry has never been healthier.”
Last year, the Dodgers opened at $234 million and
ended the New York Yankees’ 15-year streak as baseball’s
biggest spenders. Still seeking their first World Series
title since 1988, Los Angeles is No. 1 by a huge margin.
The Yankees project to be second at about $215 million,
followed by Boston at around $185 million.
Detroit is fourth at roughly $170 million — about $100
million less than the Dodgers. Coming off its third World
Series title in five years, San Francisco is fifth, about $1
million behind the Tigers.
The low rollers are led by Miami (about $65 million),
with Houston a few million dollars higher. The largemarket Mets are right around $100 million, a mark they
haven’t reached since 2011.
“The industry is doing very well,” Yankees outfielder
Carlos Beltran said. “The owners are making a lot of
money and the salaries for the players are going up.”
Following Kershaw are Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander ($28 million), Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke ($27
million) and injured Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton
($25.4 million). Hamilton has a lengthy history of drug
and alcohol abuse, and has been suspended in the past.
The AP’s figures include salaries and prorated shares
of signing bonuses and other guaranteed income for players on active rosters, disabled lists and the restricted list.
For some players, parts of deferred money are discounted
to reflect current values.
Payroll numbers factor in adjustments for cash transactions in trades, signing bonuses that are the responsibility of the club agreeing to the contract, option buyouts,
and termination pay for released players. San Diego is
receiving $18 million from the Dodgers to cover most
of Matt Kemp’s salary, and the Marlins are getting about
$12.68 million from Los Angeles as part of the sevenplayer trade than sent Dan Haren to Miami.

Gennett drives in 3 runs, Brewers beat Indians

From Page 1B

By Gary Schatz
Associated Press

GOODYEAR, Ariz. —
Scooter Gennett drove in
three runs with a double and
a single off Carlos Carrasco,
leading the Milwaukee
Brewers over the Cleveland
Indians 6-3 Friday.
Gennett doubled home
Jean Segura, who had also
two hits, and later added
a two-run single. Adam
Lind hit his second home
run of the spring.
Carrasco, pitching in his
first Cactus League game
since March 19, gave up
five earned runs and six
hits in 2 1-3 innings.
Carrasco missed time
to be with his wife for the
birth of their daughter.
“He had a lot of deep
counts and got his pitch
count up,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.
“He got a little tired,
which is understandable.”
Carrasco said he’s ready
to start the season.
“It was my mechanics,”
Carrasco said. “I was getting
the ball up. I will fix it during my bullpen on Sunday.”
Brewers starter Wily
Peralta exhausted his
pitch count after 4 2-3
innings, giving up three
runs and five hits.
“He had one rough
inning. He was getting the
ball up and getting hit,”
manager Ron Roenicke
said. “He made an adjustment and got the ball
down where he should.
That makes him a real
tough pitcher.”
Lonnie Chisenhall had
two hits, including a tworun triple for the Indians.
He made an error at
third base that led to an
unearned run.
“He knew what he did

Signs of spring have finally arrived
By Lorna Hart

ldhart@civitasmedial.com

OHIO VALLEY — For
many in northern climates, Spring means a
welcome end to winter,
warm sunny days, outdoor activities and nature
bursting forth.
Spring is a time for the
rebirth of flowers, plants,
trees and even animals,
some of which spent
a long, cold winter in
hibernation.
Trees quietly awaken
from dormancy. Flowers unfurl their tightly
closed buds, showing off
their bright colors as if
to say goodbye to gray
skies and snow. The air
is filled with the sounds
of birds returning, looking for just the right
place to build their nests.
Animals eagerly graze on
new grass.
Spring conjures up
many images, emotions,
smells and sounds.
Farmers look forward
to spring as a time to
ready fields for planting
summer crops. Seeds
planted in hothouses during the winter are waiting to be transplanted
into the earth. As the
tractor tills the soil, one
can see the barren-looking field turn into dark
rich dirt.
Gardeners greet
spring’s arrival by looking for signs that perennials survived the winter.
With excitement they see
green leaf buds on their
rose bushes and plants
pushing up through the
soil. It is with great pleasure that they set about
getting their gardens
ready for planting, relishing the feel and smell of
the soil.
To Christians, spring
means Easter. One of the
most important observances in the Christian
faith, the Easter holiday
is celebrated in spring.
Holy Week commemorates the Last Supper, the
friction and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Also during Easter,
children look forward to
coloring eggs and egg
hunts. With excitement,
they hide their Easter
baskets the night before
Easter, hoping to find
them filled with treats
by the Easter Bunny the
next morning.

Retired teachers hear from V.P. of ORTA
By Lindsay Kriz

lkriz@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The Meigs
County Retired Teachers
association recently met at
the Wild Horse and heard
guest speaker Carol Remington, vice president of the
Eastern Area of the Ohio
Retired Teachers Association
(ORTA). She is the presidentelect of ORTA 2016 and lives
in Shreve, Ohio.
The current president of
ORTA has set a theme for this
year, “Communication is Key.”
Remington worked with Cindy

Chadwell on how to get the
MCRTA website up and running, which is a way of communicating with ORTA and other
chapters.
Remington said ORTA is
working hard to retain retirement benefits, and that they
have defined benefits pensions
instead of the defined contributions amounts. Attendees
discussed the ideas that some
legislators want pensions to
go into Social Security or have
the teachers receive their own
retirement plan.
ORTA is also working on
keeping COLA and getting a

decent retirement for active
teachers.
Remington also told of a
bill being considered in the
government called the Equal
Treatment of Public Servants
Act. The bill would guarantee
that public servants would
receive the Social Security they
earned, rather than using the
Windfall Elimination Provision.
ORTA is also working on
a statewide project in which
chapters would be working
with Habitat For Humanity.
This would let people know
about ORTA and will happen
next year. Remington talked

about the importance of membership and how that can help
when working with legislation.
The Spring Conference is
set for April 23, 2016, at the
Fawcett Center at Ohio State
University in Columbus.
Becky Triplett, president,
opened the meeting with the
Pledge of Allegiance and Gay
Perrin read “Words of Wisdom”
for devotions and held prayer
before lunch.
During the business meeting,
the secretary and treasurer’s
reports were given. A team
established of members Cindy
Chadwell, Charlene Rutherford

and Becky Zurcher will work
on the group’s scholarship,
which is given in the fall.
Members were reminded to
keep track of their volunteer
hours.
Door prizes were given to
Bob Beegle, Cindy Chadwell
and Charlene Rutherford.
The next meeting will be
Thursday, April 16 at the Trinity Church. Members should
bring in paper products and personal care items for the Serenity
House Women’s Shelter.

Learning about WWI

South Gallia High School students in Jeffrey Fowler’s world history class recently had the opportunity to learn about many changes on the American home front during World War II. After discussions on
the draft, penny drives and war bonds, the focus shifted to the importance of food and rationing due to a shortage of materials. Dian Fleming, Special Education teacher, and Linda Donohue, librarian, used
recipes from this time period to give students examples of food that would have been served using ingredients that were available. This presentation was part of the Landmark Moments Fellowship program
directed by Dr. Denise Shockley, Gallia-Vinton Educational Center.

Spring

Passover, one of the
most widely observed
Jewish holidays, is a
commemoration of their
liberation by God from
slavery in Egypt and their
freedom as a nation under
the leadership of Moses.
It is celebrated in spring
as prescribed in the
Torah.
The roar of motorcycles
fill the air as enthusiasts
begin tuning up their
motorcycles after a
long winter of non-use.
Bicycles and roller blades
come out of the closet as
children and adults enjoy
a bit of outdoor exercise.
Winter is past, cold
days are over. The world
seems new, refreshed,
there is an atmosphere of
optimism and hope.
Perhaps a good way
to sum up the feeling of
spring is with these lines
from a poem by William
Wordsworth: “And then
my heart with pleasure
fills, And dances with the
daffodils.”
