Council discussed and approved cuts suggested by Assistant Fiscal Ofﬁcer Ben See. The cuts include discontinuing a data system that was not being utilized, according to Mayor Don Anderson. The village also converted full-time dispatch positions to part-time positions. However, one of those will remain full time until the employee retires on August 1, 2019. Shifts for the police department were also cut to reduce spending. Instead of being open 24/7, the department will not be operating two nights each week. If a caller dials the Pomeroy Police Department’s number on those nights, they will be immediately directed to 911. Chief Mark Profﬁtt said that the police department will continue to serve the residents of the village to the best of their ability moving forward with the budget changes. “I appreciate our neighboring agencies — Middleport Police and the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce — for their assistance to the department during this time,” said Profﬁtt. The village had placed an additional 2.0 mill police protection levy on the November 2018 ballot, but the levy was defeated by village voters. The cuts follow other budget moves made by council during a meeting in March. Those cuts included changes to paid holidays and health insurance costs. In other business, council unanimously accepted a bid from Pullins Excavating to repair the sewer line on Prospect Street for $131,640. Mayor Anderson updated council on the riverbank project and said progress is being made faster now. Anderson said the Meigs County Historical Society requested that the wall be rebuilt to match its original design. Anderson said he received the plaque with the new name for the pond on Mulberry Avenue. The “Jimmy Smith Pond” will be dedicated at a later time. Council also agreed to allow Anderson to pay up to $500 to remove the fallen tree that is on the railing and walkway. The next meeting of Pomeroy Village Council is scheduled for Monday, April 15 at 7 p.m. Sentinel managing editor Sarah Hawley contributed to this report.

She was born in Akron, Ohio, on Feb. 22, 1969. Toni had a level of compassion for children and life that was second to none. A child’s smile would light up her life during any circumstance. She spent many hours catering to the needs of nieces, nephews and trusted friend’s children. She was given a natural gift that enabled her to see a child that needed guidance and she would comfort them so well, as if she was the hands of her heavenly father’s mission. Since a young child, Toni was an avid animal lover. She had always welcomed pets, both strays and abused into her home to relocate them with loving families. She often spoke out about cruelty and abuse to protect the innocent and defenseless. Whether human or pets, she was the voice for what she deﬁned as helpless or less fortunate. Her enormous heart and compassion will be somberly missed. And her memories will be forever cherished. She was preceded in death by her mother, Margaret (Margie) Wisecup. Toni is survived by her father, Keith Wisecup of Rutland, Ohio; son, Joshua Little of Sidney, Ohio; brother, Rick Little of Albany, Ohio; sister, Amy (Frank) Parker of Bridgeport, West Virginia; nieces and nephews, Jessica (Jason) Oliver of Columbus, Ohio, Kyra Little of Albany, Ohio, Adam Little of Cheshire, Ohio, Tiffany Parker of Oak Hill, West Virginia, Taylor Stewart of Salem, Virginia, Nicholas Little of Reedsville, Ohio; a great niece, Paisley Hicks; great nephew, Jasper Little; her beloved friend, Diana Harless of Columbus, Ohio; and her beloved dog Stewie.

Daily Sentinel Funding summer fun in New Haven By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP NEW HAVEN — With about six weeks remaining in their spring fundraising effort, members of the New Haven Swimming Pool committee are nearly halfway to their goal. At their most recent meeting, the committee reported a little over $4,000 has been collected so far. The goal, in order to offer free swimming for a second year, is $10,000. Attending the meeting were Mayor Greg Kaylor, Recreation Director Matt Shell, and members Phyllis Arthur, Cathy Zerkle, Lisa Honaker, and Lisa Crump. Shell said it is hoped that the goal will be met by May 17, when opening preparations will begin. He added the pool will be painted in the next few weeks, with funding coming from a grant through the Robert and Louise Claﬂin Foundation. The grant will also pay for the season’s chemicals. Members discussed that some businesses, organizations, and individuals have pledged donations, but have not yet submitted their money. They urged those who have made the pledges to follow through as soon as possible. Committee members will be collecting donations at Walmart in Mason on Friday, May 3, from 2 to 4 p.m. An Mindy Kearns | Courtesy As a special feature on last year’s opening day of the New Haven Municipal Swimming Pool, an 18-foot water slide was rented. The town is currently in the midst of a fundraising campaign to provide free admission to the pool for the upcoming summer season. account has been opened at City National Bank under “New Haven Pool Fund,” where donations can be made year round, and a donation box will be placed at the pool during the swim season. Plans were also discussed to have a bingo event in the fall to get a jumpstart on funding for the 2020 season. The committee stressed that no donation is too small. A $50 donation basically pays a season pass for a child, while $100 pays for an adult for the season. The pool is scheduled to open on Memorial Day, and remain open seven days a week until school resumes. Once school starts, the pool will be open on weekends until Labor Day. It will also be available to rent for private evening parties by contacting the town hall during busi- ness hours. Mayor Kaylor said he has also been told that the pool must have an automated external deﬁbrillator (AED) on site. While the deﬁbrillators are approximately $1,200, committee members expressed that they are hoping someone might donate one. It was noted the AED could be used at the community building throughout the year for roller skating, building rentals and basketball. Free swimming for everyone at the New Haven pool was ﬁrst offered last year, following the establishment of the committee. Members raised funds for the free admission, and attendance raised from a daily average of 14 in 2017, to 65 in 2018. Several days last year saw over 100 people attending. With the success of free admission, however, came additional costs. This resulted in the need for even more money to be raised this year. The American Red Cross requires two lifeguards to be on duty for 10 or more swimmers, and three on duty if the number raises to 50 or above. Due to the increased number of swimmers last year, the total salary cost for the pool’s seven lifeguards doubled. Anyone wishing to donate to the pool can take their money to City National Bank; place it in the drop box at the town hall; or mail it to the Town of New Haven, P.O. Box 217, New Haven, WV 25265. Funds should be marked “for pool.” Mindy Kearns is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing, email her at mindykearns1@hotmail. com.

Through their partnership with the Gallia Academy High School Afterschool Program (ASSET), OVB recently held an interactive budgeting event for participating students. With the help of the Gallia 4-H Extension Ofﬁce, the event, “Real Money Real World,” taught students the importance of budgeting and money management. “Real Money Real World” is a youth-focused ﬁnancial literacy program from Ohio State University Extension. According to OSU, the program reaches ages 12-18, but is ideally suited for youth ages 13-16. Using an interactive format, “Real Money Real World” is a spending simulation that provides the opportunity to make lifestyle and budget choices similar to those made by adults. “Real Money Real World’s” three primary goals are as follows: Increase participants’ awareness of how education level and corresponding career choice inﬂuence personal income and OVB’s Jackie Hornsby and Jeff Smith share some of their experience when it comes to making financially sound decisions. ﬁnancial security. Increase participants’ knowledge of money management tools used in daily spending for cost-ofliving decisions. Increase participants’ awareness of how income and lifestyle choices affect the amount of money available for discretionary spending. GAHS students achieved the program’s goals as they all ﬁnished the simulation with what organizers described as “great success and a better view of how educa- STEM From page 1 will be held at the Elizabeth L.

Students also visited a philanthropy booth that stressed the importance of giving back through means, such as volunteer work. OVB Vice President, Corporate Communications Bryna Butler said resources and traditional camp activities. During the three-day, two night camp, campers will experience special workshops focused on STEM and some traditional camp activities with a STEM twist.

Many don’t think about how one decision affects another; like buying a all registrations are due by May 1.

The great thing about ‘Real Money Real World’ is that it forces them to really think through what it takes to manage money as an adult.” “’Real Money Real World’ is an eye-opening experience for these students,” OVB Financial Literacy Leader Hope Roush said. “It’s good to show them how interest can affect their student loans or credit payments. I truly believe that the Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton counties.

I regularly pull chapbooks nestled among my books and marvel at the talents of poets I know who have been named Ohio Poet of the Year, Cathryn Essinger, Lianne Spidel, Myrna Stone. Their approaches tell me, again, that the world is large and demands that poets explore subjects that are common to the human Dr. Vivian experience: innocence, experience. Blevins They invite us into their worlds and Contributing we revel in their mastery: “Prick columnist the skin of a memory/ and there is no blood,/ just the ever widening slit / as darkness blossoms again.” – Cathryn Essinger. “Today would be a good day/ to turn up, crabapple petals tumbling/ in the breeze, catching at the edges/ of the walk, a welcome. Come before they turn/ the sepia of old snapshots/ in which you never appear.” – Lianne Spidel. “Aye, good boys they was, good boys both,/ till six months past when their dispositions/ soured. No fool she, their mother, loathe/ to play the harpy with us on our disruptions…” – Myrna Stone. On occasion, I get a poem on Facebook from Kentucky poet Lee Pennington. I honor it, as I tell my students to do, by reading it three times to understand the ways in which he plays with language to convey meaning: “river lovers ﬁnd their/ way back to sea/ seek places never/ before witnessed/ rock silent honeysuckle/wet wind/ vine trees hold an owl’s/ cry/ bird language limb and/ wing … .” I’ve been teaching telecommunication union employees, and I’m pleased to read poems written by my students who’ve begun to experiment with language and are pleased with their success: “No home/ To call my own/ I ride the rails/ If all else fails/ Though innocent or sinned/ I reside therein/ I am the street.” – Paul Beckles. From the samples, I’m sure you have a sense of where you are as a poet, or where you’d like to be. The column today is for readers who’ve never written but would like to try. Let’s start small with some types of poetry that are easy to write. You might want to put your poem on a card and give to someone. Believe me, unlike the greeting cards that quickly end up in the trash, your words will be treasured and kept in a special place. Let’s begin with a hay(na)ku, developed in 2003 by Eileen Tabios: line one – one word; line two – two words; line three – three words. Example: “You/ are capable/ of great love” or “Touch/ my mind/ hold my heart.” – Beckles. You can also reverse the order and create a series. Example: “Life/ can be/ on our own but life is/better with/ you.” – Beckles. A list (catalog) poem is merely a list of collections, names, actions, places, images that somehow function to convey meaning. It can, for example, be a list of cars you have owned. You can conclude with a statement/a suggestion about the meaning of those cars. You studied haikus in school ( a total of 17 syllables with a 5/7/5 arrangement in which you present an image from the natural world). The poem in untitled, unrhymed, and expresses or suggests meaning. If you have artistic talent, draw images around your poem or you might want to print it on copy paper. Always sign and date your poems. And never share them with anyone who will discourage you, give you negative feedback. In conclusion, know that as Americans we are prone to break rules, so discard any conventions that interfere with what you want to communicate. Know also that I’m interested in hearing from you. Have you located a poem from your past or a new one? Have you attended a session at your local college or library or arts center? Have you bought a book of poetry? Have you written a poem? Maybe you’re on a roll and have written a dozen poems. Email me and I’ll share your responses in a column at the end of the month. Vivian B. Blevins.

THEIR VIEW A bee in my bonnet I planted my feet on the ground. Hands were gloved. I totally put on my 30 year old (I don’t like hyphens) brain and pulled. At ﬁrst it did little more than break the surface of the soil. This was going to take more work, and this old body had been hibernating for months … if not years. I then put on my 25 year old determination, planted one foot on the wall and pulled once more, refusing to give up. The old root let go, and I felt the joy of an Olympic champion. Spring is here. Yes, I have garden gloves, but there is something about feeling the soil run through my ﬁngers and dirt beneath my ﬁngernails that makes me one with nature. Perhaps it is that part of me that came from the earth, that shares the earth, that is a caregiver of this beautiful soil and all it grows. I grew up with the soil as a gift to our lives.

Lady Marauders roll past RV By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — Early and often. The Meigs softball team built a 10-1 lead midway through the third inning and ultimately cruised to a 14-6 victory over host River Valley on Monday night in a TriValley Conference Ohio Division contest in Gallia County. The Lady Marauders (4-3, 1-0 TVC Ohio) did most of their damage early on as the guests established leads of 2-0 and 5-1 after each of the ﬁrst two frames. Breanna Zirkle doubled in Taylor Swartz with one away in the top of the ﬁrst for the eventual go-ahead run. The Maroon and Gold — who had six hits through two innings — produced another four safeties to go along with two walks en route to a ﬁve-run top of the third, making it a nine-run contest 15 outs into regulation. The Lady Raiders (2-5, 0-2), however, answered with a two-RBI single by Kaylee Tucker in the home half of the third for a 10-3 deﬁcit. The Silver and Black — who swept a doubleheader at Fairland last Saturday by scores of 17-5 and 16-1 for their ﬁrst victories — kept their offensive momentum moving forward in the fourth after plating three runs while trimming the gap down to 10-6. River Valley was never closer as it had only ﬁve baserunners over the ﬁnal three innings, with only one making it beyond ﬁrst base. MHS produced a run in the ﬁfth as Ciera Older doubled in Swartz with two away for a ﬁve-run edge. Katie Hawkins singled home both Hannah Tackett and Swartz in the seventh, then Older scored on a one-out error three batters later to wrap up the eight-run outcome. The Lady Marauders outhit the hosts by a 16-12 overall margin and also committed four of the ﬁve errors in the contest. Both squads stranded eight runners apiece on base. Zirkle was the winning pitcher after allowing ﬁve earned runs, a dozen hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out eight. Baylee Hollanbaugh took the loss after surrendering ﬁve runs (two earned) and six hits over 1.2 frames while fanning one. Swartz, Older, Zirkle, Hawkins, Tackett, Bailey Swatzel and Jerrica Smith led a balanced Meigs attack with two hits apiece. Hannah Durst and Alyssa Smith also had a hit each for the victors. Hawkins knocked in a team-high three RBIs, with Older and Zirkle each driving in a pair of runs. Swartz scored a team-best four runs, while Older, Durst and Tackett crossed home plate twice apiece. Brooklyn Sizemore led RVHS with three hits, followed by Skylar Jones, Chloe Gee and Sierra Somerville with two safeties apiece. Tucker, Kasey Birchﬁeld and Grace Hash also added a hit each in the setback. Tucker led the hosts with two RBIs, while six different players scored one run apiece.

Federal Hocking moved within one run in the home half of the fourth, and then took a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the ﬁfth. The Lady Lancer lead was shortlived, as Kassie Barton scored on a wild pitch, and then Abby Cummins doubled home Caitlynn DeLacruz in the top of the sixth. A two-run, two-out double by Jordan Hardwick in the top of the seventh capped off the Lady Tornadoes 8-5 triumph.

GAHS left a runner on third base in both the third and fourth innings, but added on to its lead in the top of the sixth, as Garrett McGuire doubled home Andrew Toler.
