Kearns • Hillis W. Faudree • David L. Wallace WEATHER POMEROY — Motorists awoke to a familiar, yet unwelcome site on Monday morning — higher gasoline prices. A AAA survey of motorists reports gas prices across Ohio shot up 12 cents from last week. Many in Meigs County can attest to feeling pain at the pump when regular unleaded jumped from around $3.65-$3.69 per gallon to $3.79 per gallon on Monday in some places, though not all. Some of the cheapest places to buy regular unleaded, as of Monday afternoon, was in the Five Points Area of Pomeroy and in Chester where the prices were at $3.59 per gallon. Regular unleaded could be purchased for $3.65 in Reedsville and $3.75 in both the Portland and Racine areas. However, in Pomeroy and Middleport, motorists were definitely paying more — around $3.79 though in the Middleport area at least one station had a price of $3.69 per gallon, as of press time. Gasoline prices were also fluctuating in Gallia County on Monday where regular unleaded could be found in Gallipolis for anywhere from $3.69-$3.89 per gallon. Regular unleaded was reportedly $3.83 in nearby Cheshire and $3.89 at some stations in Mason County, W.Va. In the Columbus area, regular unleaded was selling for anywhere from $3.39-$3.79 on Monday afternoon; regular unleaded in the Cincinnati area was selling for around $3.79 per gallon and $3.55 per gallon near the Jeffersonville outlets on I-71 Monday morning. The price of $3.79 per gallon for unleaded is the highest price in more Civil War Sesquicentennial events begin Oodles of noodles BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM COLUMBUS — Though celebrating the Civil War is an annual pastime in Meigs County, this week kicks off a series of state-wide events ushering in the state’s observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War — a Sesquicentennial which will be observed throughout 2011 and beyond.

Reds one win away from best start since 1990 CINCINNATI (AP) — The defending NL Central champions have opened the season playing like they belong in first place. And, maybe more. The Cincinnati Reds swept their opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers, considered one of their top challengers in the division. The Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies — the team that swept them in the first round of the playoffs — were the league’s only unbeaten teams left on Monday. A win at home over Houston on Tuesday night would give the Reds their first 4-0 start since 1990, when they led their division wire-towire and won their last World Series championship. It would also continue their domination of NL Central rivals. The Reds made the playoffs for the first time in 15 years by beating up on the rest of the NL’s weakest division. They went 49-30 against the Central, posting winning records against everyone except the Cardinals. They’re at it again. “Whoever we play against, it’s very important,” second baseman Brandon Phillips said. “We’ve got to try to get as many wins as possible because we’re not trying to wait until the last minute to try to clinch something. Of course, it’s important to beat teams in our division.” Phillips isn’t the only one thinking about clinching so soon. The Reds started winning back fans with their playoff push last season, and it’s carrying over. Raiders, GAHS split doubleheader BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM AP photo/Al Behrman Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips (4) jumps over Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder (28) after forcing Fielder out at second in the seventh inning of a major league baseball game on Saturday, in Cincinnati. Phillips threw to first to make the out on Erick Almonte and complete the double play. They drew only 1.7 million fans in 2009, their smallest gate since 1986. That increased by more than 300,000 last year, when the Reds surprised everyone by pulling away from the division. They packed them in for the first series at Great American Ball Park despite nasty weather. The Reds didn’t disappoint, winning opening day on Ramon Hernandez’s two-out, three-run homer in the ninth. They then finished the sweep. “Honestly, I think it does more for the city than it does for us,” said Phillips, who had a threerun homer on Sunday. “It just shows the city, lets them know that we’re here, we’re going to do this again, and y’all just better make sure you keep coming out here to support us because we really need them. “I think it means more to the city because we know what we can do and what we’re going to do.” The Reds brought their championship team back virtually intact, spending more than $150 million in the offseason to lock up young players for years to come. They ran into problems in spring training, when starters Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey were disabled by shoulder problems and starter Bronson Arroyo came down with mononucleosis. So far, no problems. Left-hander Travis Wood took Bailey’s spot in the rotation and beat the Brewers in the second game.

Big inning for the Blue Angels came in the fourth when they batted around scoring four times on hits from Courtney Shriver, Morgan Leslie, Ward, and Kayla Harrison. The lone RV run was plated in the fifth on a walk to Porter, a passed ball and two sacrifices. Ward picked up her fourth win of the season against no defeats going the distance and spacing five singles. She struck out ten and walked two. Birchfield was the complete game loser for the Lady Raiders, allowing nine runs (4 earned) on nine hits. She struck out seven and walked two. Shriver was a perfect 3-3 at the plate, scoring twice and driving in one. Birchfield had two of the Raiders hits. The win was the 100th varsity softball victory for Coach Jim Niday, who is in his seventh year at the helm of the Blue Angels. Game 2 Three games for the price of one in the nightcap.

Noel Mershon coaxed a five pitch walk bringing in the first run followed by a Birchfield single driving in another. When Thacker retired the next batter by strike out, it looked like GAHS might get out of the inning without further damage, but then Kelcie Carter lined a double clearing the bases and RV had the lead at 7-6.

MSWCD From Page A1 of hardwood trees while the second 30-foot zone will be planted with a mixture of native hardwood trees and shrubs. Native species that grow well along streams and provide food and shelter to wildlife will be given preference. At a later date, the final 30-foot section of the buffer will be planted with a mixture of native warmseason grasses and forbs. Then a strip of corn will be planted beyond that. The project is intended to demonstrate the value of three-zone riparian buffers as an effective tool for reducing agricultural-related nonpoint source pollution such as storm water runoff, according to Fulks Fulks said the April 14 planting is part of a field day for local landowners or producers who are interested in learning more about conservation and invited anyone interested in attending to call her at the Meigs SWCD office, 740-992-4282. She explained that the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area is owned by the Meigs SWCD and is used primarily for outdoor education. The property, purchased in 2003 under the Clean Ohio grant program, consists of 174 acres and features a man-made wetland, prairie areas, walking and hiking paths, warmseason grass demonstration plots, off-road parking and a new shelter house for group activities. It is located on New Lima Road in Rutland Township between Harrisonville and Rutland. The planting project is financed through a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency under the provisions of the Surface Water Improvement Fund (SWIF). More than $1 million was made available statewide through the Surface Water Improvement Fund for projects designed to reduce pollution from sources near stream banks to improve water quality in Ohio’s lakes and rivers. SWIF is a new Ohio EPA program, with funding coming from supplemental environmental projects paid as part of environmental enforcement settlements. The Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District is among the first grant recipients, receiving $1,273, said Fulks. + Digital Humanities at the Cleveland State University Department of History has partnered to bring the public the Ohio Civil War 150 project, which includes a website, www.ohiocivilwar150.org, containing information on events commemorating Ohio’s role in the war. A major event planned for this week is a free, live Webcast by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin who is known for her work documenting the life of President Abraham Lincoln. The program will be presented at the Ohio Statehouse and streamed live on the Internet at www.ohiochannel.org from 1-2 p.m., Wednesday, April 6. Viewing is free and no reservation is required, making it a living history tool for teachers and students of all ages. Ohio Civil War 150 is encouraging citizens from across the state to submit questions via e-mail to be answered during the program and live web stream — questions can be submitted in advance at statehouse@csrab.state.oh.us. Questions should be about the Civil War, Ohio’s connection to the war, Lincoln or any other topic Goodwin has written about. According to Ohio Civil War 150, Goodwin will speak directly to students and anyone interested in history, about the Civil War time period and the historical importance of Ohio and its leadership. Meigs County, is of course, home to Ohio’s only significant land battle — the Battle of Buffington Island near Portland. On July 9, visitors to Buffington Island Memorial Park can learn about the lifestyle of infantry men through a living history presentation by the 91st Ohio Volunteer Infantry. There will also be a memorial service conducted by the Sons of Union Veterans in remembrance of Confederate and Union soldiers who died during the battle in 1863. The Ohio Historical Society is holding a Ohio Civil War 150 brunch At 11 a.m., Sunday at the Ohio Statehouse atrium — this is a paid event. Sunday will also feature a reenactment of a Civil War encampment, battle-flags exhibit and music by Camp Chase Fife and Drums — this event is free.

Richards, Jr. �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND Meigs County student winner in writing contest NELSONVILLE — The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) today announced the winners of the 5th Annual Child of Appalachia® Writing Contest that includes 264 students and teachers from across the region. One of the winners was Southern Elementary School student Mallory Johnson, a 4th grader in the class of Sammy Barr. This year’s contest, which is open to all 4th through 9th grade Appalachian Ohio students, asked participants to put on their entrepreneurial thinking caps and respond to the question, “if you could invent something, what would it be and what problem would it solve?” Through its ongoing partnership with the Walmart Foundation, FAO will award each of the 132 winning students a $50 Walmart Gift Card, and their teacher will be awarded a $500 mini-grant for classroom enrichment. “Walmart’s partnership with FAO has been a significant benefit to Appalachian Ohio, and is providing increased access to educational opportunities for our region’s youth,” said Cara Dingus Brook, FAO President and CEO. “Through the writing contest, students engage in discussions with parents and teachers, enabling them to build their confidence. In addition, our educators receive support in providing additional experiences for their students.” Walmart’s partnership also supported a field trip drawing for classrooms participating in the contest, with winning teachers planning a field trip aligning with their current curriculum, and the three classroom winners include: Barb Knapp’s Millersburg Elementary 4th Grade Classroom, Holmes County; Kara Harrison’s Dawson-Bryant Middle School 7th Grade Classroom, Lawrence County; and Susan Pratt’s Morgan High School 9th Grade Classroom, Morgan County. “Walmart is proud to once again support the Foundation for Appalachia Ohio and its programs that broaden the education opportunities for the students and teachers in Ohio’s Appalachian region,” said David Gose, Regional General Manager for Walmart’s southern Ohio region. “Through the State Giving Program, the Walmart Foundation supports organizations with programs that align with our mission to create opportunities so people can live better. We appreciate and share in the Foundation for Appalachia Ohio’s belief that education is critical to the well-being of all.” The Foundation believes one of the most important ways we can shape a positive future for Appalachian Ohio is by encouraging our region’s youth to believe in their ability to succeed. Through the Child of Appalachia Writing Contest and in partnership with the Walmart Foundation, FAO is working to prompt thoughts and conversation in classrooms across the region with positive messages to instill the mindsets and confidence necessary for success. The Foundation’s website, www.appalachianohio.org, contains a complete list of winners and more information about the contest.

Safety is no accident, live injury free BY TED WYMYSLO, M.D. DIRECTOR, OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Injuries have a negative impact on Ohio’s health and on Ohioans pocketbooks. In one year, Ohioans spend $1.5 billion on medical costs related to injuries and $28.4 billion on work loss and quality of life loss related to injuries. In addition to costing our state billions, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for Ohioans ages 1 through 44 and the fifth-leading cause of death for all Ohioans. An average of four Ohioans die each day from unintentional drug overdoses and prescription drugs are associated with more of these deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. In addition to the impact on communities and families, these preventable deaths cost our state an estimated $3.5 billion each year. ODH, in coordination with our federal, state and local partners, has and will continue to work to raise awareness and educate the public about the state’s overdose epidemic. While unintentional drug overdoses are the leading cause of injury death, there are many other injuries that impact the well being of our state. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death and hospitalization for older adults. Many older adults believe that experiencing a fall is a natural part of the aging process. It’s not, you can prevent falls by removing environmental hazards, having your eyes checked regularly and increasing your physical activity. In children, suffocations, motor vehicle crashes and falls are some of the leading causes of hospitalizations and death. These can be prevented by providing a safe sleep area for your child, ensuring child safety seats are properly installed and that your child wears a helmet when participating in wheeled sports. For teens and young adults — ages 15-24 — motor vehicle crashes are the leading causes of death and hospitalizations. But these crashes can be prevented by ensuring your teens know safe driving rules, including not driving while distracted or while texting. By following these tips, you can live injury-free in all areas of life: at work, at home, at play, in your community and anywhere people are on the move.

When we went to renew his license, he failed the entire test spectacularly. He’s pretty cognizant, but his sight is miles away from 20/20. He took this very hard indeed and moped around for a couple of weeks. Then it seemed as if his funk suddenly lifted. One morning I found out why: He was taking my car for joy rides in the morning before I even got up! I feel horrible that I scolded him like a child, but I don’t know what to do. — K.J. Dear K.J.: This is a very sad situation, but mostly it is a dangerous one. Your father is driving without a license, and if he can’t see very well and has slower reactions because of his advanced age, he could be putting himself and others at risk when he goes out for a secret morning spin. I am sure you are well aware of the dangers of letting this continue, and if you have to hide the keys, so be it. But in the meantime, it is worth reflecting on what your father is feeling and finding out if there is an alternate way of helping him to feel more independent and capable. As you know, a car represents freedom, and it also stands for a kind of symbol that everything is OK — if you can still drive, you must not be too old or too sick. Losing driving privileges can be a severe blow to some elderly people. Others welcome the end of the stressful act of driving, especially if they have started to create accidents, gotten tickets or suffered some near-misses while driving. You need to find some other ways to make your dad feel competent and in control. Think about the things he’s good at, and ask him to teach you or your children a skill. Make sure someone in the family is able to drive him places he wants to go so he doesn’t feel deprived because of not being able to drive himself. Dear Dr. Brothers: I think I made the biggest mistake of my life when I tried playing matchmaker for my sister. I really thought she would get along with this friend from work, but from what I hear, the first date was a nightmare. Now my sister got a job at the same place where my friend and I work, and it’s crazy. They both keep asking me what the other is saying about them, and it’s driving me nuts. I can’t cope, and want to go back to the (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Dear C.W.: You may be in for an even rougher time ahead for a while, until both your sister and your friend can forget about one another and move on. Admittedly, this might be a difficult challenge, as the date was such a nightmare. It could be that one or both of these people, far from being grateful that you were trying to promote their happiness, are on some level trying to get even with you because they blame you for the first date being a train wreck. So by constantly reminding you of how awful your choice for them was, they are able to spread the pain around a little. That’s what you get for not seeing what a terrible match you were making! There are a couple of ways to address this while you are waiting for enough time to pass for these two people can move on. You probably will have to talk to both your sister and your friend and let them know how sorry you are that the date didn’t work out, and that you misjudged how perfect they were for one another. A little mea culpa will go a long way. Both are a little mad at you, and you can let them beat up on you a little bit, but then make sure they know you don’t want to be in the middle of a war. Tell them you are retiring from matchmaking — and mean it! The next time you are tempted to put together a couple of innocent people, remember that you don’t have much of a track record, and turn your talents to something less risky.

Mission accomplished. Rio Grande took care of business with a pair of 10-2 wins in a Mid-South Conference doubleheader sweep versus St. Catharine on Saturday afternoon at Stanley Evans Field. The RedStorm won the first game in five innings and it took them an inning longer in the second game, reaching the mercy rule in the sixth frame of game two. Rio Grande (12-10, 73 MSC E) actually had to rally in the first game, falling behind 2-0 in the third inning against one of the more potent offenses in the conference. St. Catharine (1116, 4-10 MSC W) came into the game batting .338 as a team. Rio would tie the game in the second inning with two runs and exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the fourth. The RedStorm were aided by four Patriot errors in the first game victory. Senior shortstop Amber Bowman had a huge offensive game for Rio Grande, going 2-for3 with three RBI’s on a pair of doubles. Junior rightfielder Marissa Lennox was 2-for-2 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. Lennox also recorded a stolen base. Freshman first baseman Amber Myers was 2-for-3 and sophomore third baseman Jaymie Rector was also a part of the hit parade, going 1-for-2 with a run scored. Junior hurler Anna Smith pitched all five innings to get the victory. She fanned six while scattering five hits and allowing two runs. Smith (7-2) did not walk a batter. She also helped her own cause, going 1-for-3 with an opposite field home run in the fourth to make the score, 10-2. Kasie Prather led the Patriots, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Ashley Hardin (4-5) took the loss for St. Catharine, pitching three innings, allowing seven runs (two earned) on six hits with a pair of strikeouts. “The girls did a great job being aggressive on the bases,” said Rio Grande head coach Dawnjene DeLong. “They made some adjustments, the first inning we didn’t do too well, but they made some adjustments and put the ball in play and that’s what won the game for us.” In game two, Rio scored single runs in the second and fourth innings to go up 2-0 in what looked like was shaping up to be a pitcher’s duel, but that quickly changed. Rio added two more runs to pad the lead to 4-0 in the fifth. St. Catharine answered with two runs in the top of the sixth to make it a 4-2 game, only to see Rio string together a ton of hits to dent the plate six times in the bottom of the sixth inning to reach the mercy rule at 10-2. Sophomore Kaitie Stewart came off the bench to deliver the RBI single to close the game and seal the victory. Lennox was the top offensive performer for the RedStorm in game two, going 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI’s and a run scored. She also swiped a base. Rio collected 17 hits in the game two triumph. Other notable offensive efforts for the RedStorm: Fuller was 2for-2 with two runs scored, a stolen base and an RBI, Rector was 2for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base, sophomore leftfielder Kaylee Walk was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored, Bowman was 2for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, Smith was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI and Myers was 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Sophomore centerfielder Jessica Gall also delivered an RBI basehit. Smith, who pitched both games of the double dip, went the distance for the victory. Smith allowed four hits and two runs in six innings and struck out eight SCC batters. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that she did not walk a batter in either game of the doubleheader. Hagan Goldey was 1for-3 with an RBI triple and a run scored to pace the Patriot offense in the second game. Megan Beecham (2-3) took the loss for St. Catharine. She was chased from the pitcher’s circle after 4 1/3 innings, allowing nine hits and four runs with one strikeout and two walks. DeLong said the doubleheader sweep was a total team effort. “Anna did a great job today, she also had her first home run of the season in the first game, she’s kind of breaking out of her slump,” DeLong said. “The girls did a great job, (Kaitie) Stew(art) came in and had that winning hit that scored that winning run.” “Everybody did their part, people don’t see that girl that comes off the bench and runs and gets the foul balls; they don’t see the girl that’s always keeping the scorebook or the girl that’s keeping the scoreboard or the girl that’s running the music for the batters. People don’t see that all the girls do their role,” DeLong added. “It was a total team win, both games. I was real proud of the girls, they strung a lot of hits together and they kept it up in the dugout. It was two good wins.” Rio Grande will host Georgetown College in MSC action on Tuesday (April 5) at 2 p.m. Georgetown received one vote in the most recent NAIA Top 25 rating.

By contrast, the Reds walked only five batters, two of them intentionally. “Ever since the walkoff home run, the momentum has been in our favor,” said catcher Ryan Hanigan, who had a pair of homers on Sunday. “I think we rode that in the last two games. Once we got rolling, we kept pressing. We know this team is capable of scoring five or six runs in a hurry.” The third game showed them at their best, piling up 19 hits — the most they had in any game last season — and four homers. Twelve different players had at least one hit. “Everybody contributed,” manager Dusty Baker said. “It can be contagious. It was just a big weekend, and to go 3-0 against a team you know is going to be there at the end is big. But there’s still a long way to go.” The Reds have a favorable schedule as they wait for Cueto and Bailey to get back. They have six games against Arizona, four against Pittsburgh, three against Houston and three against San Diego in the next 17 days. And the confidence from that division title seems to be carrying over. “To tell you the truth, we know what we’re capable of doing,” Phillips said. “We know we can go out there and win. We know we can win key games. Right now, we know what everybody on our team can do. That’s why we’re gelling right now.” bled home Satterfield for a 1-0 edge, but the hosts countered by sending 10 batters to the plate in their half of the first frame. Meigs knocked out three hits and benefitted from three walks and three Marietta errors in the process, which allowed the Maroon and Gold to take a 5-1 lead after one complete. Meigs then added three runs in the third after a hit and four walks allowed the hosts to increase their advantage to 8-1 after three complete. Marietta trimmed its deficit in the fifth after a solo homer from Lenington made it 8-2, then a walk and two hits in the sixth allowed the Tigers to pull within 8-4 through six complete. The guests, however, went down 1-2-3 in the seventh — wrapping up the four-run decision. Heath Dettwiller was the winning pitcher of record, allowing six hits and three walks over seven innings while fanning four. Roberts took the loss for Marietta after two-plus innings of work. Cameron Bolin led the hosts with two hits, fol- lowed by Nathan Rothgeb, Ryan Payne, Zach Sayre and Taylor Rowe with one safety apiece. Colton Stewart also scored twice after being walked three times. Bronski led the guests with two hits, followed by Bricker, Spur, Lenington and McElroy with one safety apiece.
