Greenhouses a hidden treasure

POMEROY — Twenty-four.
That’s how many victims of crime were honored at Thursday night’s Crime Victims’ Rights
Week Ceremony in Pomeroy. The theme of the
night was “Engaging communities, empowering
victims.”
The River City Players opened up the evening
with three songs that all centered around the idea
of help and hope. “From Me to You,” and “Here
Comes the Sun” by The Beatles and “You’ve Got
a Friend” by James Taylor.
Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams
gave opening remarks, emphasizing the idea of
focusing on the life led by a loved one instead of
focusing on why they are no longer with us.
“We want to put that court part behind us, and
find some warmth and compassion within ourselves and together within our group where we
have the opportunity to remember the lives we
have lost and the beautiful lives they led — not
what brought them into the court system, but to
remember them as what they were to us and as
our family,” Williams said.
Robin Eurell, daughter of homicide victim
James W. Gardner, delivered the keynote speech
of the evening, which was written by her sister
Trena James. In the speech, the sisters spoke
about the way their lives changed the day they
lost their father, and how the desire for justice
and revenge can sometimes cloud the mind after
the loss of a loved.
“The thing is, when you are in that state, nothing is clear,” Eurell said. “You can’t think rationally. The only emotion that will surface is anger.
You want to be judge and jury. But each of us are
responsible for our own actions and reactions.”
Eurell spoke directly to all family members in
James’s speech, telling them that she, too, had
been in their shoes and in their situations, but
that family and friends helped them make it to
where they are today.
“We were fortunate that we had each other,
our friends, our families, to help us cope,” Eurell
said.”Healing has begun, but it’s not complete
and never will be. But be assured that healing
will start. It may seem far but it will come.

Background check
system unreliable
COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s computerized background
check system has been flawed and unreliable for years, often
failing to provide accurate information about convicted felons, according to an investigation by The Columbus Dispatch
and WBNS-TV.
The fingerprint-based system operated by the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation in the office of Attorney General Mike
DeWine has wrongly indicated that thousands of criminals
have clean records.
A review of thousands of pages of records by The Dispatch
and WBNS revealed ongoing problems with the 15-year-old
system, which is used for more than 1.3 million checks every
year.
Thousands of intertwined criminal-conviction and fingerprint records with processing errors have hung in limbo in
the system for months at a time, while records of convictions
don’t arrive promptly or at all, according to the media outlets.
Police officers and employers rely daily on the criminal
background-check system, which DeWine describes as “critical for the safety of Ohio families.”
The system is used to vet school teachers, foster parents,
medical professionals, police officers, firefighters, day care
and nursing home workers, gun owners seeking concealedcarry permits, and many others.
If the system doesn’t work, felons can be hired for jobs

and kept them locked up in his
home. Berry, who gave birth
to Castro’s daughter during
her imprisonment, broke out
through a door in May 2013,
leading all three women to
freedom. Castro, 53, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to
life plus 1,000 years in prison.
He hanged himself in his cell in
September 2013.
Berry and DeJesus were
teens when they were abducted, and they recounted how
Castro was familiar to them
through his children when they
initially accepted car rides from
him that led to their captivity.
The years that followed were
a mix of horror interspersed
with odd moments of grace,
like when the three girls had a

pillow fight when Castro locked
them in the garage.
Castro initially kept the
women apart, and even when
he allowed them to be together,
he tried to manipulate their
relationships with one another.
The women described how he
insisted the sex was consensual, that he said he had been
a victim of sexual abuse as a
child and wasn’t doing anything wrong. The women said
he even talked about when they
would get out of the house,
wondering what moniker he
would be known by. He insisted
that if Berry wrote a book, she
write “the truth,” that she had
feelings for him.
The birth of Berry’s daughter in December 2006 was
also a turning point. Castro

doted on his child, whom he
called “Pretty” and took out
and about in Cleveland. As
the girl grew older, Berry
wrote, it became harder and
harder to hide the strangeness
of their lives.
On the day of the escape,
Berry said, Castro left the
house without locking her in
her room. She was terrified it
was some kind of trap, but she
took the risk anyway. They
recount their mix of feelings on
hearing of Castro’s death, with
Berry in particular conflicted
over the impact it would have
on her daughter.
In the end, they wrote about
the steps they’ve taken to
move forward, such as Berry
learning to drive and DeJesus
getting a job.

Same-sex marriages advance, city does too
CINCINNATI (AP) — The
mayor of an Ohio city that endured
a lengthy battle over gay rights
more than a decade ago led a
“send-off” Friday for plaintiffs in
the same-sex marriage cases that
will be argued before the U.S.
Supreme Court next week.
About a third of the 30-plus
plaintiffs in the cases before the
court Tuesday either live in or
have links to the Cincinnati area.
Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley
spoke at the gathering outside city
hall, recalling the repeal a decade
ago of a 1990s city charter amend-

ment widely viewed as unwelcoming to gay and lesbian people.
“Here in Cincinnati, we’ve come a
long way,” Cranley said.
Jim Obergefell, a plaintiff and
resident who will attend part of
the Supreme Court arguments,
said, “It’s great to live in a city that
protects your rights and in a city
that stands up for you.”
Obergefell and his late spouse
John Arthur won a federal court ruling that was overturned in November by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals based in Cincinnati. The
opinion upholding same-sex mar-

riage bans in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee after a series
of federal court rulings in favor of
same-sex marriage propelled the
issue to the Supreme Court.
Obergefell said he will have a
seat in the courtroom for arguments over recognizing marriages
performed in other states. His and
Arthur’s original lawsuit in Cincinnati was to make sure Obergefell
was listed as the surviving spouse
on Arthur’s death certificate. The
two were married in Maryland.
Arthur was dying when the pair
brought the lawsuit.

Fired band director’s lawsuit may proceed
COLUMBUS (AP) —
A band director fired by
Ohio State University for
allowing a “sexualized
culture” within its celebrated marching band
may move forward with
his civil rights lawsuit
against the school, a federal judge ruled Friday.
U.S. District Judge

James Graham denied
Ohio State’s request
to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Jonathan
Waters, who was fired
last summer after an
internal investigation
found that he turned a
blind eye to the band’s
culture of raunchy, profane and suggestive tra-

ditions and mishandled
sexual discrimination
allegations.
Waters’ suit accused
the university, President Michael Drake and
a provost of discriminating against him. He
said they denied him
due process and disciplined him differently

than a female employee.
His lawsuit seeks reinstatement and $1 million in damages.
The judge ruled that
the university didn’t
violate Waters’ due process rights but said the
lawsuit could proceed on
the grounds of reverse
discrimination.

NEW YORK (AP) — When
Amanda Berry’s toddler
daughter had night terrors and
started screaming and running around the room, Berry
couldn’t always get to her —
because she was chained and
couldn’t move that far.
Big, heavy chains were a
regular part of Berry’s life for
years as she, Gina DeJesus
and Michelle Knight were held
captive in a Cleveland home
by Ariel Castro before finally
escaping in 2013. So were
repeated rapes and other abuse.
But the women survived,
and now Berry and DeJesus

their experiences. “We are free,

He just shrugged. “Yeah.”
“Did you have some kind of emergency or some
problem that you couldn’t take it?”
“No.”
“So, why didn’t you take it?”
He grinned really big. “I just didn’t want to.”
He then just turned and walked away, acting
as if he owned the world, seemingly enjoying my
shock at his careless attitude.
Because of this I started to watch him more
closely in my class. I noticed that he never took
notes. He sat in his chair, kicked back as if he
were attending a movie. I know calculus isn’t quite
that entertaining, even if I am the teacher, but he
seemed like he was just along for the ride.
When I picked up the second test from the testing center, I immediately looked to see if he had
taken the test. He hadn’t. After grading them,
again when I passed them out, I told him I needed
to see him.
When class was over he came to the front with
exactly the same attitude, except perhaps a little
more arrogant. I told him there was no way he
could pass the class if he didn’t take the tests
and turn in the other work. He just shrugged and
walked away grinning.
At that point, I determined I had mentioned it
enough. Through the whole semester he never
turned in a single assignment nor a single quiz or
test.
On the day of the final, I noted he didn’t show
up; at least he didn’t until the last person was
turning in their test and the time for the final was
over. Then he walked into the room with the same
air that had been his throughout the semester. He
walked up to me with his usual smugness.
“The test is over,” I announced.
“Oh, I didn’t plan to take it anyway.”
I struggled to hold back my frustration as I
spoke. “Why would you take a class you don’t plan
to pass?”
His grin widened. “Oh, I’ve just been playing
with you.”
“What do you mean?”
“When I first came to college, I took calculus
and got an A. I was gone a couple of years, and
now that I am back I thought I’d sit in on it for a
review.” He laughed as he continued. “It was fun
to see you get all worked up about me not taking
the tests.”
I sighed as I finally understood. “But why would
you replace that A grade with an F.”
His smiled lessened only slightly. “They just
keep the higher grade.”
I shook my head. “No. They take the latest
grade. You’re A will be replaced with an F.”
Suddenly his smile was totally gone. “You’ve got
to be kidding!”
“No, I’m not. It’s too bad you didn’t talk to me
earlier and I could have explained it to you. You
could have changed the class to an audit and it
wouldn’t have counted at all.”
“I can’t have an F on my transcript. Isn’t there
anything I can do?!”
“At this point, there is only one thing you can
do.”
He looked at me hopefully. “What?”
“You can take the class again.”
I guess, for at least one person that semester,
there was a more important lesson learned than
came from the math.

THEIR VIEW

Let Social Security jazz up your plan

By Marcus Geiger
Guest Columnist

GALLIPOLIS — April is Jazz
Appreciation Month, a perfect
time to move your feet and revel in
the smooth beats of one of America’s most beloved musical genres.
Ella Fitzgerald, the “Queen of
Jazz,” known for her scatting style,
had a vocal range spanning three
octaves. Other great jazz icons
include Dizzy Gillespie, Benny
Goodman, Louis Armstrong,
Herbie Hancock, and Wynton
Marsalis.
These jazz greats not only
have music in common, but they
either received, receive, or will
be eligible to receive Social Security retirement benefits. Wynton
Marsalis, at age 53, is approaching
retirement. Herbie Hancock, at
age 74, is already old enough to

receive full Social Security retirement benefits. A lot of planning
and preparation made these artists
successful. If you want to be successful in your retirement years,
financial planning is important for
hitting all the high notes.
You don’t have to scat like Ella,
or blow your horn like Wynton,
Dizzy, and Louis, to plan for
retirement. If you’re making retirement plans, you’ll want to visit
Social Security’s website to use
our retirement planner at www.
socialsecurity.gov/retire. You’ll
find detailed information about
your Social Security retirement
and what you may want to consider as you prepare for your future.
Our Retirement Estimator at
www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator
will give you an instant, personalized estimate of your future

benefits. You can plug in different
retirement ages and scenarios to
help you make a decision. If you’re
ready to apply for retirement
benefits, just go online at www.
socialsecurity.gov/applyonline.
Creating a secure my Social
Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount is another
way to fine tune your retirement.
Your account will allow you to verify your posted earnings and get
retirement estimates for ages 62,
67, and 70. Opening a my Social
Security account is safe, easy, and
only takes a few minutes.
Louis Armstrong’s “What a
Wonderful World” may come to
mind as you visit our website at
www.socialsecurity.gov to jazz up
your retirement planning!
Marcus Geiger is district manager of the Social
Security office in Gallipolis.

TODAY IN HISTORY...
Today is Sunday, April
26, the 116th day of 2015.
There are 249 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On April 26, 1865, John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham
Lincoln, was surrounded
by federal troops near Port
Royal, Virginia, and killed.
(As he lay dying, Booth
looked at his hands and
supposedly gasped, “Useless, useless.”)
On this date:
In 1564, William Shakespeare was baptized at Holy
Trinity Church in Stratfordupon-Avon, England.
In 1915, silent film comedian John Bunny, 51, died
in New York.
In 1923, Britain’s Prince
Albert, Duke of York (the
future King George VI),
married Lady Elizabeth
Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey.
In 1937, German and
Italian warplanes raided the
Basque town of Guernica
during the Spanish Civil
War; estimates of the number of people killed vary
from the hundreds to the
thousands.
In 1945, Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain (an-REE’
fee-LEEP’ pay-TAN’), the
head of France’s Vichy government during World War
II, was arrested.

(then part of the Soviet
Union).
In 1989, actresscomedian Lucille Ball died
at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles at
age 77.
In 1994, voting began
in South Africa’s first allrace elections, resulting

National Congress and the
inauguration of Nelson
Mandela as president.
China Airlines Flight 140,
a Taiwanese Airbus A-300,
crashed while landing in
Nagoya, Japan, killing 264
people (there were seven

nation’s first bill allowing
same-sex couples to form
civil unions.
Ten years ago: Syria’s
29-year military presence
in Lebanon ended as Syrian
soldiers completed a withdrawal brought about by
international pressure and
Lebanese street protests.
Actress Maria Schell died
in Preitenegg, Carinthia,

Austria, at age 79. Actor
Mason Adams, known
for his Emmy-nominated
role on the TV series “Lou
Grant” and as the voice
behind the Smucker’s jelly
commercials (among many
other ads), died in New
York at age 86.
Five years ago: A
Haitian judge dismissed
kidnapping and criminal
association charges against
10 American missionaries
who’d been detained for
trying to take a busload of
children out of the country
after the January 2010
earthquake, but said that
Laura Silsby, the last of the
10 still in jail, would face a
lesser charge. (Silsby was
freed in May 2010 after
being convicted of arranging illegal travel and sentenced to time served.)
One year ago: President
Barack Obama opened the
first visit by a U.S. president in nearly half a century
to Malaysia, the third stop
on his weeklong goodwill
trip through Asia. A British
helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan, killing five
NATO troops. Workers for
a documentary film production company recovered
“E.T.” Atari game cartridges
from a heap of garbage buried deep in the New Mexico
desert. (The video game
had been consigned to the
ground after being called
the worst ever made.)

She also said that, in the end, forgiveness is key, but that this forgiveness
is “not forgiveness for the person who
committed the crime. It’s for you and
your family. It helps your heart to heal.”
After the sisters’ speech, Williams
read aloud a certificate of appreciation
for outstanding service on behalf of
crime victims, which was for Meigs
County Sheriff’s Deputy Brody Davis,
who could not attend the ceremony.
Sheriff Keith Wood represented the
department at Thursday’s event.

Meigs senior Cameron Mattox (12) delivers a pitch during the
fifth inning of Thursday night’s TVC Ohio baseball contest against
Nelsonville-York in Rocksprings, Ohio.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — You could call this a good
night for Cameron Mattox.
The senior starter allowed just three hits and struck
out 10 over six innings Thursday night while guiding the
Meigs baseball team to its third straight win following an
11-1 decision over visiting Nelsonville-York in a Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division matchup in Meigs County.
Mattox allowed just one hit and five baserunners
through five full innings of work for the host Marauders
(6-6, 5-2 TVC Ohio), which resulted in a comfortable 4-0
cushion headed into the sixth.
The Buckeyes (6-4, 5-3) got back-to-back two-out hits
from Seel and Smith to produce their only run of the
night, making it a 4-1 contest midway through the sixth.
MHS, however, answered by sending a dozen batters to
the plate in the home half of the sixth, which led to seven
runs on nine hits and two walks. The mercy rule clincher
came when Christian Mattox delivered a bases-loaded single that plated K.J. Tracy, wrapping up the 10-run triumph.
The Marauders outhit NYHS by a sizable 14-3 overall
margin and committed only one of the three errors in the
contest.
Cameron Mattox was the winning pitcher of record
after allowing one earned run, three hits and one walk
over six innings of work. Dobbs took the loss after surrendering one earned run, four hits and three walks over 3.2
frames while striking out one.
Cameron Mattox also led the Meigs offensive attack
with four hits, followed by Ray Johnson with three safeties. Tracy, Cameron and Christian Mattox, Cody Bartrum, Layne Acree, Luke Musser, Trae Hood and Tyler
Williams also had a hit apiece in the triumph.
Bartrum and Hood each drove in two RBIs, while Bartrum, Musser and Chase Whitlatch scored two runs apiece
in the victory. Cameron Mattox also drove in an RBI and
scored once to complete his well-rounded evening.
Seel, Smith and Maiden had the lone hits for NYHS.
Seel accounted for the only run scored and Smith had the
Buckeyes’ lone RBI.

CHESHIRE, Ohio — A missed opportunity.
On Friday night the River Valley softball team
had a chance to avenge its loss to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division foe Wellston, but the Lady
Raiders stranded 10 runners on base and the Lady

The Lady Rockets (6-5, 4-3 TVC Ohio) scored
twice in both the first and second innings to take
a 4-0 lead. River Valley (8-8, 2-4) senior Katie

Wellston broke the game open in the top of the
sixth, scoring four runs on five hits. The Lady
Raiders scored once more in the bottom of the
sixth, but couldn’t add on and the Lady Rockets
claimed the 8-2 win.
Katelyn Stewart earned the win in the circle,
striking out six and walking just one for the Blue
and Gold. RVHS junior Ashley Gilmore struck out
three, walked four and took the loss.
Gilmore paced River Valley offensively with
three singles, while Mares had a double, a single
and two runs scored. Chelsea Copley singled
twice, Reilly Barcus doubled and drove in a run,

Point Pleasant’s Derek Raike, a fifth grader at Roosevelt Elementary
School, has had a very successful 2014-15 wrestling season. The
dedicated 11-year old competed at several national wrestling
tournaments across the country and won such titles as Liberty
National Wrestling Champion in St. Joseph (MO), AAU National
Wrestling Champion in Kingsport (TN), NUWAY National Wrestling
Champion in Battle Creek (MI), and Brute National Wrestling
Finalist in Independence (MO). Raike is a four-time West Virginia
State Champion and a five-time All-American wrestler. Recently,
he competed in the Tournament of Champions in Columbus (the
largest one day wrestling tournament in the world) where he won
his age and weight division without forfeiting a single point. This
title also makes him a three-time “Tournament of Champions”
titleholder. Raike was recently invited to join a team from Texas that
will wrestle in Virginia Beach at the NHSCA National Elementary
Wrestling Duals (May 23-25). Raike is the son of Tonya and Randall
Shobe of Point Pleasant and Andy Raike of Point Pleasant. He is
a member of the Knights Wrestling Club and will be wrestling for
Point Pleasant Middle School in the upcoming season.

Wade Martin, 2014 Point Pleasant High School graduate and all-time
boys basketball leading scorer, recently signed his National Letter of
Intent to join the University of Louisiana Monroe next season. Martin
played this past season at the Fishburne Military School in a post-grad
basketball program. “I am blessed to be in this position and thankful for
all the people that helped me get this far,” Martin said. “There’s still a lot
of hard work ahead and a lot to get better at.” Wade will join a Warhawks
program that finished runner-up in the College Basketball Invitational
postseason tournament in 2015. ULM, an NCAA Division I school,
has been a member of the Sun Belt Conference since 2006 and had
competed in the NCAA tournament seven times dating back to its first
appearance in 1982. This past season at Fishburne, Martin led the team
in minutes played, shot 52 percent from the field and averaged 12 points,
4.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Wade is the son of Darryl Martin
of Greensboro, North Carolina and Denise L. Martin of Columbus, Ohio.

Hamlin dominates
to win race in Va.
By Hank Kurz Jr.
AP Sports Writer

RICHMOND, Va. — Denny Hamlin returned from last
week’s injury-shortened weekend and led almost from
start to finish Friday night to win the NASCAR Xfinity
Series race at Richmond International Raceway.
Hamlin led the first 154 laps after starting on the pole.
He relinquished the lead for one lap to Brian Scott during a series of green-flag pit stops, and to Elliott Sadler
during another green flag stop late in the race, but both
times regained the lead on the following lap. The Virginia driver routinely built leads of several seconds on
the 0.75-mile oval and won by 3.719 seconds.
“It’s been a great day obviously right from the very
start,” Hamlin said. “Our car had some great speed and
that’s the key to victory. It’s not tricks or anything like
that. It’s just you’ve got to have a fast car.
“They gave me something special tonight and we were
able to dominate with it. You don’t get these cars often.”
The victory was Hamlin’s 12th in the series and third
at Richmond. Following up on Kyle Busch’s wire-to-wire
victory for Joe Gibbs Racing in the series last September, the JGR teams have led 498 of the last 500 laps run
in the series at RIR.
It also was Toyota’s 100th victory in 281 races since
the manufacturer joined the series in 2007.
The victory also capped a remarkable return for Hamlin, who started the race last weekend at Bristol, then
turned the car over to NASCAR novice Erik Jones during a rain-delay because he was experiencing neck and
back pain.

an autopsy has been performed. CENTER, Savannah blows some bubbles on a warm day at home. AT RIGHT, Savannah and her parents often liked to visit the Vinton Community Park near their home. Her

cardiac death. A body needs
to be healthy enough to potentially donate organs to a recipient and it is typically desired
that they are from a younger
individual. A kidney, for example, can survive outside the
body longer with a medically
researched preservation solution. An organ can potentially
be preserved up to 72 hours
with this solution.
“We get nervous when we get

time) the better,” Dr. Rajab
said.
Organs are removed shortly
after a person passes. They are
then collected by surgeons and
transported in a cooled container surrounded by preservation solution to be delivered to
a waiting recipient. Depending
on the nature of a recipient’s
need, these organs may be
flown or driven to the site for
surgical insertion in the recipient.
According to statistics provided by Lifeline of Ohio, a nonprofit organ procurement organization, an Ohioan dies every
48 hours waiting on a transplant. Within the last decade,
more than 2,000 Ohioans died
while waiting. Currently about
120,000 people are waiting for a

Nearly 58 percent of Ohioans

Dolley Madison topic of Meigs DAR presentation
POMEROY — The Meigs
Return Jonathan Chapter
of DAR recently had their
Charter Day Luncheon,
which was held at the Pomeroy Library. A catered meal

was served to members, one
prospective member and four
guests.
A brief business meeting was held afterward,
conducted by Regent Opal
Grueser. It was noted that
the DAR mailed 1,000 cou-

pons to Guam, and clothing
was sent to the Huntington
VA hospital.
The meeting was
adjourned and Southeast
OSDAR Director Donna
Murdock, of the Capt. James
Lawrence Chapter in Iron-

ton, Ohio, was introduced,
presenting a program to the
group on the life of Dolley
Madison, wife of President
James Madison, who served
as president from 1809 to
1817. Dolley was born, a
Quaker, to John and Mary

Coles Payne, she was the
fourth child born in a family
of eight children.
In 1790, she married John
Todd, a Quaker lawyer, in
Philadelphia, and they had
two sons: John Payne, whom
they referred to as Payne,

and William Temple. In
the Yellow Fever Epidemic,
Dolley’s son William and
husband John both died
leaving her a widow, at 25,
with a young son to rear.
Soon she was introduced to
James Madison, 17 years her
senior, and they married in
1794. She had to relinquish
her religious faith in order
to marry him. Thomas Jefferson, the president, at that
time, and political associate
of James Madison, frequently
called on the smart and vivacious Dolley Madison to act
as his First Lady, at many of
the political events, as he was
widowed at the time.
In 1808, James Madison
ran for president and succeeded over Jefferson. He
served two terms in office,
and Dolley contributed to
her husband’s popularity as
president.
During the War of 1812,
in the year 1814 the British
burned the city of Washington, and Dolley ordered the
White House Staff to save
the portrait of George Washington from the flames, and
she fled to Virginia, and in a
few days she returned, and
afterwards continued to host
Presidential parties . She
was the first President’s wife
to be known as “The First
Lady”.
In 1817 James Madison
retired from his career, and
she and he returned to Montpelier Plantation in Virginia.
They remained there until
his death in 1836. Dolley’s
financial situation became
bleak from the exploits of
her son, Payne’s debts, and
one half of the plantation had
to be mortgaged to pay his
debts.
In 1837, Dolley returned
to Washington a year after
her husband’s death. Dolley
died at her home in Washington in 1849 at the age of
81, where she was buried in
the Congressional Cemetery,
and later her remains were
moved to Montpelier, where
she lies next to her husband.
After the presentation,
members and guests were
entertained by musicians,
Betty Ross, and Ken Sands,
who were attired in Civil War
dress style, they did several
vocal and musical selections
of interest to the group.
The April meeting was
held at the Chester Courthouse, on April 18, with
Speaker Michael Gerlach on
the Middleport Slave Trails
of the Underground Railroad
Era.
