POMEROY — A concerned parent addressed Meigs Local School Board members and Superintendent Scot Gheen at the recent regularly scheduled school board meeting to discuss safety procedures at Meigs Local Schools. Teresa Shiﬂet stated, “I think as parents we’re all concerned with the recent school shootings, so I think maybe there should be a dialogue between the parents and the board as to what kind of security measures are in place at our schools right now...the students, if there is an active threat, what do they do, have they been trained on where to go, and what to do.” Gheen explained the ﬁrst goal of security the school system would like to set is have students and staff knowledgeable in A.L.I.C.E (Alert. Lockdown. Inform. Counter. Evacuate) training. He shared the staff recently had their A.L.I.C.E training and it went well. Gheen explained the next goal of security would be to debrief the staff, then train the students. Also, he would like to instill pod training. Gheen explained there are approximately 80 cameras within the Meigs Local Schools with 48 being at the high school, 15 being at the middle school, and between 15 to 20 at the See SAFETY | 2 Making Ohio driver licenses, ID cards more secure Staff Report COLUMBUS — In an effort to ensure greater security and identiﬁcation protection for customers, and to comply with federal regulations, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is introducing a single, central point of production for state driver licenses and identiﬁcation cards, effective July 2, 2018. Licenses and identiﬁcation cards will no longer be produced while you wait at each of the more than 180 Deputy Registrar ofﬁces state- wide. While customers will still go to a Deputy Registrar for license and card renewals or other transactions, they will receive their driver licenses and identiﬁcation cards by mail rather than over the counter. Only a temporary proof of transaction will be issued at a Deputy Registrar location. The extra level of security provided through centralized card production provides greater protection against counterfeiting and complies with all See SECURE | 2 Meigs Co.

RACINE — Safety in schools is not just on the minds of administrators, staff and parents, but students as well, something that was evident on Monday evening at the Southern Local Board of Education meeting. Seniors Jonah Hoback, David Shaver and Connor Thomas addressed the board at the start of the meeting regarding the safety of students in the district. Hoback and Shaver are currently in the school’s current world affairs class, while Thomas is the student council president. Hoback explained that they are tired of seeing school shootings happen. Of roughly 200 students in Southern High School, Hoback obtained 145 signatures on a peti- tion asking that teachers undergo training for ﬁrearms. While there is a school resource ofﬁcer, Hoback said the ofﬁcer could be anywhere in the building, which may or may not be the location of a possible incident. Overall, Hoback stated that “gun-free zones” are the target of 98 percent of shootings. Simply the presence of armed staff members could serve as a deterrent. Thomas echoed that statement, referencing the country of Switzerland which is one of the least gun violent in the world. In the country homes have guns which may be a deterrent of gun violence. Reﬂecting on what the school day is like for students, Thomas stated that there is not a day See CONCERNS | 2 Celebrating new face of PVH Wellness Center JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Gheen explained the staff has go-bags in case of an emergency containing items such as rosters and emergency medical forms. Shiﬂet inquired how parents can be of assistance to the administration and staff of the school system. Gheen responded that having parent volunteers monitoring the school during the day would be helpful, but the volunteers would need to abide by certain safety protocols, such as getting a background check. Gheen explained 95 percent of the trouble is started via social media. He shared the administration and staff at Meigs Local are operating under a zero tolerance policy. Gheen said if a student is caught posting threats via social media, the case will be reported to the sheriff’s ofﬁce. Gheen stated, “See something, say something, we have to get that across to our kids. See something, say something to us, say something to your coach, say something to your band director, say something to your teacher, say something to your principal, say something to your parent.” Secure Customers interested in using their stateissued credential for access to federal facilities or services, such as airport security screening by the Transportation Safety Administration for boarding commercial airlines, may choose to obtain a credential that meets all federal requirements.

POINT PLEASANT — “Be courageous. Lead with passion. Respond with innovation. Demonstrate compassion,” Lynne Fruth, president of Fruth Pharmacy declared to the members of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) 2018 Regional Conference held from Feb. 4 – 6 as she presented ideas on the subject: “What can one company do to make an impact on the drug epidemic in the local community?” Fruth Pharmacy, a family-owned regional pharmacy of 30 locations, does business as “Your Hometown, Family Pharmacy.” In the age of Amazons and Walmarts, it’s a fairly small operation. Fruth, the youngest daughter of Fruth Pharmacy founders, Jack & Frances “Babs” Fruth, began work in 2013 to make Fruth Pharmacy a leader in developing solutions to help persons with addiction. One of the initiatives was Naloxone training. Pharmacists trained alongside emergency personnel, law enforcement, and loved ones of addicts. This gave Fruth personnel a different perspective on the lifesaving drug overdose reversal medication Naloxone. Fruth has also worked with Recovery Point in Charleston to help provide scholarships to those completing the program. Fruth recently announced her work with the Greater Kanawha Val- By Marcus Geiger Special to OVP GALLIPOLIS — After a lifetime of working, you deserve a comfortable retirement. For over 80 years, Social Security has been helping people shape their future, assisting them with a variety of beneﬁts. It’s up to you as to when you can start retirement beneﬁts. You could start them a little earlier or wait until your “full retirement age,” or delay retirement to get extra money each month. There are beneﬁts to either decision. Full retirement age refers to the age when a person can receive their Social Security beneﬁts without any reduction, even if they are still working part or full time. In other words, you don’t actually need to stop working to get your full beneﬁts. For people who reach age 62 in 2018 (i.e., those born between January 2, 1956 and January 1, 1957), full retirement age is 66 and four months. Full retirement age was age 65 for many years. However, due to a law passed by Congress in 1983, it has been gradually increasing, beginning with people born in 1938 or later, until it reaches 67 for everybody born after 1959. You can learn more about the full retirement age and ﬁnd out how to look up your own at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire/retirechart.html. You can start receiving Social Security beneﬁts as early as age 62 or any time after that. The longer you wait, the higher your monthly beneﬁt will be, although it stops increasing at age 70. Your monthly beneﬁts will be reduced permanently if you start them any time before your full retirement age. For example, if you start receiving beneﬁts in 2018 at age 62, your monthly beneﬁt amount will be reduced permanently by nearly 27 percent. On the other hand, if you wait to start receiving your beneﬁts until after your full retirement age, then your monthly beneﬁt will be higher. The amount of this increase is two-thirds of one percent for each month –– or eight percent for each year –– that you delay receiving them until you reach age 70. The choices Courtesy You can start receiving Social Security benefits as early as age 62 or any time after that. you make may affect any beneﬁt your spouse or children can receive on your record, too. If you receive beneﬁts early, it may reduce their potential beneﬁt, as well as yours. You need to be as informed as possible when making any decision about receiving Social Security beneﬁts. Read the publication When to Start Receiving Retirement Beneﬁts at http://www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10147. pdf. When to start receiving retirement beneﬁts is a personal decision based on your own situation. Check out our Retirement Checklist at http://www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10377.pdf to learn about additional factors to consider as you think about when to start receiving your retirement beneﬁts. If you decide to receive beneﬁts before you reach full retirement age, you should also understand how continuing to work can affect your beneﬁts. Social Security may withhold or reduce your beneﬁts if your annual earnings exceed a certain amount. However, for every month beneﬁts are withheld, it may increase your future beneﬁts. That’s because at your full retirement age Social Security will recalculate your beneﬁt amount to give you credit for the months in which beneﬁts were reduced or withheld due to your excess earnings. You can learn more at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ planners/retire/whileworking.html. Social Security’s mission is to secure your today and tomorrow.

This editorial written by The Charlotte Observer Editorial Board: The NCAA makes billions. The conferences and the colleges make billions. The coaches make millions. The agents make millions. The players producing all this money? They get squat, and their eligibility is in danger if they — or their mother — gets so much as a meal at Longhorn Steakhouse. So who really comes out looking bad in the Yahoo report Friday giving a glimpse into money ﬂowing under the table to college basketball players throughout the country? The players who received relatively tiny rewards? Or the NCAA and the college sports industrial complex, which has ridden those players for decades? None of the Yahoo report is particularly surprising. Yet it seemed to surprise NCAA President Mark Emmert: “These allegations, if true, point to systematic failures that must be ﬁxed and ﬁxed now if we want college sports in America,” Emmert said. “Simply put, people who engage in this kind of behavior have no place in college sports. They are an affront to all those who play by the rules.” Or, as commentator Jay Bilas put it, how dare anyone exploit our players before we, the NCAA, are done doing so? To be sure, the dozens of players named in the leaked FBI documents knew the NCAA rules banning their accepting “impermissible beneﬁts” and all or most of them knew they were breaking them. Even so, the documents primarily spotlight the ﬂaws in the system and in the NCAA’s rules more than the players’ wrongdoing. The report shook the college sports world Friday and its timing couldn’t be worse, with the lucrative men’s basketball tournament tipping off in just a few weeks. But if this jars the NCAA and other leaders into taking a hard look at their fundamentally ﬂawed system, then it’s a welcome development. The NCAA has been running a lucrative scheme for decades now. Teenage superstars act as free labor and generate, these days, billions of dollars for everyone but themselves. True, they are offered college scholarships. But the athletic-academic scandal at UNC revealed what a joke that can be, and how the NCAA is content to look the other way when college athletes are mistreated. Because it’s not about the player. It’s about what he can do for the college, for the conference, for the NCAA’s bottom line. That exploitation is done above the table for all to see. It’s only when it’s done by an agent, under the table, that the NCAA thinks the exploitation is a problem. The current FBI investigation that led to Friday’s revelations should prompt an overdue, clear-eyed assessment of all that is broken in college basketball — and football. The NCAA needs to reassess all its rules and scrap those that hurt student-athletes. The details will be complicated, but athletes responsible for generating massive revenue need to be compensated in some way, beyond their scholarships. Instead they are targets of a federal probe while the real beneﬁciaries — the NCAA and its member schools — sit back and count their dough.

Any burden non-union employees to help pay for collective bargaining amounts to “compelled speech” in violation of the First Amendment. Janus’ argument is that, because wages and beneﬁts for public employees have an effect on budgets and taxes, they are inherently “political” issues. Therefore a non-union employee whose fees support negotiations that result in a contract that raises his and other employees’ pay is being forced to “speak” on a matter of public concern. That argument is more clever than convincing. And if the court were to accept it, it would be undermining the view it has expressed in other cases that public employees’ First Amendment rights aren’t identical to those of private citizens — as the lawyer for the state of Illinois suggested at Monday’s argument Granted, free-speech issues would arise if workers were forced Church in Franklin, Kentucky.

Breyer suggested that to address such concerns the court might make it explicit that “fair share” fees may subsidize only activities dealing with “wages, hours (and) working conditions” if those are the issues subject to collective bargaining under state law. But overruling Abood altogether would be a radical rupture. As Justice Elena Kagan noted, if the court were to rule for Janus, labor laws in 23 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico would be declared unconstitutional and thousands of municipal contracts covering millions of workers would be invalidated. “What would be the justiﬁcation for doing something like that?” she asked Janus’ lawyer. The answer is that there is none. TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, March 1, the 60th day of 2018. There are 305 days left in the year.

By Scott Jones sjones@aimmediamidwest.com Scott Jones | OVP Sports GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Minimizing turnovers can make all the difference. The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team played a tight game with the visiting Lady Saints for one half of Tuesday night’s contest in Gallia County, but the Lady Defenders utilized a 25-6 second half run to earn a 43-20 victory in their regular season ﬁnale. OVCS (5-15) committed only two turnovers in the ﬁrst quarter — while HCA (6-9) gave the ball away nine times — en route to an 8-6 advantage to begin the second period. The two teams found themselves locked at 12-all with 3:46 remaining in the second quarter, but 6-2 run by the Lady Defenders to close the period put them ahead by a score of 18-14 at the midway mark. The Blue and Gold connected on 5-of-38 ﬁeld goal attempts for 13 percent, including a 0-of-11 performance from three-point range. OVCS also made 6-of-8 shots from the charity stripe for 75 percent. The Lady Defenders gathered 23 rebounds and committed 12 turnovers in the ﬁrst half. HCA made 5-of-25 shots from the ﬁeld for 20 percent, including a 1-of-10 effort from long distance for 10 percent. The Lady Saints also connected on 4-of-10 from the free throw line for 40 percent. The Red and Black collected 20 rebounds and committed 19 giveaways. The Lady Defenders took control of the game in the third period, as they once again minimized their turnovers to just three in the period. OVCS held HCA to a single ﬁeld goal and two free throws over the span See DEFENDERS | 7 Rio Grande baseball divides pair with UPike By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Five University of Rio Grande pitchers combined on a four-hitter and the RedStorm rebounded from a game one thrashing to defeat the University of Pikeville, 3-1, in the back end of their Tuesday afternoon non-conference baseball doubleheader at Johnnie Lemaster Field. The host Bears rolled to a mercy rule-shortened 16-3 triumph over the RedStorm in the opening game of the twin bill. Rio Grande stopped an eight-game losing slide with the game two victory, improving its overall record to 5-12. UPike ﬁnished the day at 6-7 with the split. Junior Dalton Wilburn (Ashville, OH), freshman Quincy Rhodes (Whitehouse, OH), senior Jacob Hastings (Commercial Point, OH), junior Zac Morris (Heath, OH) and freshman Caleb Fetzer (Van Wert, OH) teamed to scatter three singles, a double and three walks en route to the game two win. The quintet also combined for six strikeouts, with Wilburn starting and working two scoreless frames for his second win in three decisions. Fetzer recorded the ﬁnal four outs to earn his ﬁrst save. Rio inﬂicted all the offensive damage it needed against UPike starter Charlie Cokely in the ﬁrst inning. Senior Juan Cruz (Juana Diaz, P.R.) was hit by a pitch to begin the game, moved to second one out later when sophomore Dylan Shockley (Minford, OH) was also hit by a pitch and scored on a single to right by junior David Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.).

Tomcats win sectional final By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Rebels had the top seed on the ropes, but the Tomcats fought back with fury. The ninth-seeded South Gallia boys basketball team led by four points at halftime, but Trimble outscored the Rebels 49-to-32 in the second half and came away with a 71-58 victory in the Division IV sectional ﬁnal on Tuesday at Meigs High School. After a pair of lead changes in the opening 5:30, the teams were tied at 10. South Gallia (7-17) closed the ﬁrst quarter with 5-0 run and then outscored Trimble (17-5) by a 6-4 clip in the opening three minutes of the second quarter, making the Rebel lead 21-14. The Tomcats rattled off six straight points, cutting the SGHS lead back to one point, at 21-20, with three minutes left in the half. The Rebels ended the half with a 5-to-2 run and a 26-22 lead. Trimble scored eight of the ﬁrst 10 points in the second half and took the lead, at 30-28, on a Randy Hixson three-pointer with 5:21 left in the third quarter. The Tomcat lead grew to eight points, at 43-35, with 47 seconds left in the period. In the remainder of the quarter, the South Gallia senior Curtis Haner (5) launches a three-pointer during the second half of the Rebels’ season-ending setback on Tuesday in Rocksprings, Ohio. Rebels hit a pair of triples — including a contested 70-footer by Eli Ellis at the buzzer — to trim the THS lead to 43-41 headed into the fourth. Both teams scored 12 points over the ﬁrst four minutes of the ﬁnale, but Trimble turned its twopoint advantage into a 15-point lead with a 13-0 run in the next three minutes. South Gallia scored ﬁve of the ﬁnal eight points and fell by a 71-58 margin. “I really don’t think it had anything to do with us, I thought we played a pretty good ball game,” said ﬁrst-year SGHS head coach Kent Wolfe. “I just thought we lost to a better basketball team, they’re the No. 1 seed for a reason. I can’t fault these kids, there’s nothing that we really did that you can say we blew the game. I just think we got beat by a better team and we hung in there for three quarters and about four minutes.” South Gallia and Trimble made 23 ﬁeld goals apiece in the game, with the Rebels shooting 51 times for 45.1 percent, and the Tomcats shooting 49 times for 46.9 percent. From beyond the arc, SGHS shot 10-of-17 (58.8 percent) and THS shot 6-of-14 (42.9 percent), while the Rebels were 2-of-7 (28.6 percent) from the free throw line, where the Tomcats were 19-of29 (65.5 percent). After being outrebounded by three in the ﬁrst half, the Tomcats came back to win the rebounding battle by a 31-to-25 count, which included a 9-to-7 edge on the offensive glass. South Gallia picked up a 14-to-13 advantage in assists and claimed all-5 of the game’s blocked shots, while Trimble earned an 8-to-6 edge in steals. SGHS turned the ball over 17 times in the contest, while THS gave the ball away nine times. “Let me tell you what we’ve been through,” said Wolfe. “We went to the preview, we had to play Athens, we got beat in the ﬁrst quarter 33-to-nothing. We won one quarter in the preseason, then we lose a player on the day of the ﬁrst game. We lose 55-30 and then 88-41.
