Register for STEM Camp Today
OHIO VALLEY — What do
your children or grandchildren
want to be when they grow up?
Could it be a scientist, doctor, or
engineer? What about a farmer or
video game designer? Maybe they
want to work with animals? Or
would they rather play with computers? Attending STEM Camp
might help them decide. And,
they’ll have fun along the way!
What’s STEM? It stands for
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. But, this camp
won’t feel the least bit like school.
Campers will select a STEM
area to explore in-depth. Choices
include Aeronautics, Robotics,
Environmental Science, Animal
Science, Forensic Science, or
Engineering. Campers will enjoy
many hands-on activities and
learn about careers in the ﬁeld.
The campers will also be taking a ﬁeld trip to Bellisio Foods
in Jackson; this will provide a
hands-on experience to discover
the Science behind creating food
products for resale. In addition,
this year’s camp will once again
feature a visit from OSU’s Dr. Bob
(a science guy) and other special
programs.
Boys and girls currently in
5th through 7th grades from an
eleven-county region in southern

Ohio are invited to attend STEM
Camp at Canter’s Cave this summer. This region includes Adams,
Brown, Gallia, Jackson, Highland,
Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross,
Scioto, and Vinton counties.
The camp is being planned and
implemented by OSU Extension
professionals from several of these
counties. Both 4-H and non-4-H
youth are invited to attend.
Camp registration is at 2pm on
Monday, June 4, and end with dismissal at 11:30am on Wednesday,
June 6. It will be held at the Elizabeth L. Evans Outdoor Education
Center/Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp
in Jackson, Ohio. The camp is an
ideal setting for such a program,
offering an abundance of natural
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.
The registration fee to participate is only $80 per camper. Only
the ﬁrst 90 registrants will be
accepted, and all registrations are
due by May 1. Registered youth
will receive additional information
and forms through mail or email
(if you prefer) which will need to
be completed. An event brochure/

TOPS discusses weight loss tips and goals
TUPPERS PLAINS — TOPS
OH#2013, Tuppers Plains met at
the St Paul’s United Methodist
Church with Pat Snedden, leader
calling the meetings to order with
members saying the TOPS (Take
off Pounds Sensibly) and KOPS
pledges. The KOPS (Keep off
Pounds Sensibly) members were
given applause for their esteemed
efforts. Then all recited the
Pledge of Allegiance in unison.
During the past two meetings,
TOPS songs were led by the
group’s song leader, Cindy Hyde.
Leader Pat Snedden asked for
roll call. Roberta Henderson,
weight recorder called each
member’s name as roll call was
taken. This is the time that each
person tells whether they have
lost, gained or maintained the
same weight for the week. Pounds
amounts are not required and no
member is ever shamed for a gain
but instead this is the time for
encouragement. TOPS sisters/
brothers encourage each other
in their weight loss/maintenance
journey. This group camaraderie
is important to the TOPS chapter
as members realize that they are
all on the same journey. The roll

call in itself is a form of group
therapy.
Best losers for the two weeks
were Cindy Hyde and Mary
Rankin. Each received a certiﬁcate and the weekly fruit baskets.
The weekly fruit basket consists
of each member bringing a fruit
or vegetable and placing it in the
basket. If a member forgets to
bring fruit or vegetable they can
donate 50 cents. All in all it is a
nice gift for the accomplishment
of being best loser.
Connie Rankin shared her low
calorie recipe for Tortilla Pizza.
Other members talked about their
ﬁtness trackers, keeping food
charts and exercise regimes. The
weekly best losers shared their
success stories. Tips of the week
were to “not eat after 8 p.m. and
to drink 64 ounces of water a
day”. Water beads were distributed to members who needed them.
Water beads are used to help keep
track of daily water intake. Every
time 8 ounces is consumed a bead
is moved on the water bead ribbon. When all 8 beads are moved
over on the ribbon then the target
of 64 ounces of water has been
consumed.

A purse auction was held as a
chapter fundraiser. It was not only
a fun activity (members placed
items in a purse and then it was
auctioned to the highest bidder)
but it raised over $130. Most of
the funds raised by the chapter
go to paying rent on the meeting
room, supplies for the group and
offsetting the cost of members
who want to attend the TOPS
Annual State Recognition Conference.
Pat also led a program on “Food
with Healthy Power”. Cards were
distributed to each person and
group discussion stemmed from
the information read from each
card about healthy foods.
Ideas for new contest were
discussed. This discussion will
continue at the next meeting.
The meeting was adjourned
with the “Helping Hand” circle.
For more information about
TOPS or about joining the
chapter’s support meetings call
Leader, Pat Snedden at 740-5419696. The weekly meetings are on
Monday at 6 p.m. and last about
an hour.

Home health care agency owner sentenced for committing $2M fraud
COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine
joined Benjamin C. Glassman,
United States Attorney for the
Southern District of Ohio, and
other ofﬁcials on Thursday
in announcing that the owner
of an Athens County home
health care agency has been
sentenced to prison for committing fraud.
Cheryl McGrath, 50, of
Guysville, Ohio, was sentenced today in U.S. District
Court to 36 months in prison
for committing health care
fraud and willful failure to pay
over tax. The sentence was
handed down by Chief U.S.
District Judge Edmund A. Sargus, Jr.

According to court documents, McGrath owned and
operated Home Health Care of
Southeast Ohio in Guysville,
Ohio since 1993.
From 2009 until 2015,
McGrath executed a scheme
to defraud the Ohio Medic-

aid Program by billing on
behalf of Home Health Care
of Southeast Ohio for home
health nursing services that
were never rendered. The
defendant routinely changed
the claim information in the
billing software to falsely
reﬂect that additional hours of
nursing services had been provided and falsely increased the
number of nursing visits from
one visit per week to between
three and ﬁve visits per week.
McGrath also submitted
claims for nursing services of
Medicaid patients who were
ineligible because they were
either residing in private nursing homes or deceased.
In total, her scheme included fraudulent claims in the

amount of approximately $2.2
million.
“This scheme was intentional and egregious, and we
worked hard to pursue a just
outcome,” said Attorney General DeWine. “Fighting health
care fraud is a priority of my
ofﬁce.”
From 2009 until 2013,
McGrath maintained the books
and records regarding payroll
for the home health care business. During that time, she
submitted Forms 941 to the
IRS but did not pay over the
federal employment taxes that
were due, causing a loss of
$366,825 to the IRS.
McGrath pleaded guilty
to health care and tax fraud
charges in June 2017. As

part of her plea agreement,
McGrath has agreed to pay
more than $2.2 million in
restitution to the Ohio Medicaid Program and the nearly
$367,000 to the IRS.
The investigation of this
case was conducted by the
IRS Criminal Investigation,
U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services OIG,
FBI, and the Ohio Attorney
General’s Medicaid Fraud
Control Unit. Assistant United

Behind
the times
Apparently, I am way behind the
times.
Last week Terry was talking to one
of her associates, who during the
course of the conversation mentioned
something about 4/20.
Terry was unfamiliar
with the reference. The
person informed her
that “4/20” is a coded
reference to the celebration of marijuana every
April 20th. The person
Pastor Ron referred Terry to an
Branch
online article entitled
Contributing “What Parents Need to
columnist
Know About 4/20.” Having read it, Terry showed
it to me when I told her that I was
not familiar with the term, too. I got
online myself and discovered there are
several sites with information about
this 4/20 reference and the celebration
of marijuana.
What I have read is that this coded
reference and subsequent celebration
of marijuana started about 1971, and
is primarily promoted by certain companies these days on social media that
makes countless connections with kids
through advertising.
As things stand now marijuana
usage is generally on the rise, but
alarmingly so among kids. Social
media “feeds” promote it with the kids.
According to the authors of “What Parents Need to Know About 4/20,” Chen
and Filucci, “…their feeds are ﬁlling
up with references to 4/20. Consider
these from last year: “It is high time
for some Pizza Rolls” (Totino’s): Sometimes you need a huge bowl to get
you through the day” (Chipotle): and
“Secret stash” (Burger King)…Popular,
mainstream brands, including Ben
and Jerry’s and Denny’s tweet, snap,
and ‘gram ads that subtly—-or not so
subtly—-show support for 4/20.”
Chances are that, unlike me, you are
already informed about this reference.
Nonetheless, there are a some matters
that people associated with the Church
need to think about speciﬁcally during
this era when efforts are being made to
normalize the use of marijuana.
First, there are Bible-based moral
and spiritual values pertinent for
society at large the Church should be
loud about in whatever ways available
to countermand this current effort
to legalize and normalize the use of
marijuana in our country. For example,
churches may want to use their websites for such purposes to address the
issue with their youth.
Furthermore, we should proactively
uplift the greater value of healthful
living as God has intended and as the
Bible describes rather than putting
one’s self in position for the degenerative results of dis-sobering substances.
God calls the shot, “Do not be drunk
with wine, but be ﬁlled with the Spirit.” Obviously, the term “marijuana”
is not employed in this verse, but it is
clearly applicable, for both wine and
marijuana are competitive forces that
vie for the basis of personality. Personalities are changed and endangered
when one imbibes either, and the devil
is there to take advantage of it.
However, the more healthful way
is to choose to allow God to ﬁll a
person’s life. After all, God works
in our lives for good, not evil. God
desires that we “may prosper and be
in health.” Should we not pray that all
experience the depth of God’s blessings?
Second, the Church should take
notice that this process of normalizing
the use of marijuana is clearly another
step of the “spirit of anti-Christ” about
which the Bible speaks. This spirit of
anti-Christ is essentially that evil inﬂuence in the world that is preparing the
population to accept the ascent and
time of the actual Anti-Christ. The
spirit of anti-Christ works to get people to turn away from the principles
of God. People will be more adept to
acknowledging the Anti-Christ in due
time if the rudiments of Godliness are
no longer an abiding inﬂuence. The
de-sensitizing of Bible-based virtue
and morality seem to be at the heart of
an industry promoting the use of marijuana. The people associated with the
church would do well to be educated
about the manifestations of evil that
work to more establish The Evil, and
them selves conduct a deeper commitment to the principles and expectations of God.
In the mean time, I thought to call
my boys to ask if they were familiar
with the marijuana reference to 4/20.
Each of them said that they were. Jeshua said, “Dad, you are certainly behind
the times.” Yep—-I feel like an idiot for
sure about it.
Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is
pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

God says, ‘Give me space!’
How much space have you
given God to move in your
life? God will consume as
much of you as you make
available to Him.
“‘Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall
ﬁnd; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you’” (Matt.
7:7 KJV).
If you really want God to
work in and through your
life, then make some space!
“Then Jesus told his
disciples, ‘If anyone would
come after me, let him deny
himself and take up his cross
and follow me’” (Matt. 16:24
ESV).
What does it mean to
deny yourself? It means to
surrender your whole heart
to God. Create more space
for Him to move. Allow Him
to consume every ﬁber and
facet of your being.
But if you, like me, are
asking God to consume
more of your heart, then
look out! Prepare to be
uncomfortable. Prepare to
be challenged. Prepare to
not understand, comprehend, or explain His love.
However, the search is
worth it. The surrender is
worth it. I don’t know about

They refuse to believe
that God would hold

But that’s not Christianity.
That’s not learning to

Thessalonians carried a living Gospel. They didn’t need
to explain Jesus with words.
Their actions carried the

In fact, Paul said he didn’t

and gives us freedom.

reminds me of a Bible
verse from John, Chapter 15, Verse
5. It says, “I am the vine; you are
the branches. If a man remains in
Me and I in him, he will bear much
fruit. Apart from Me, you can do
nothing.”
Jesus is talking here. He says in
a later verse that God is like the
farmer who plants the vineyard,
and He (Jesus) is like the vine.
Then Jesus says that we are the
branches growing out from that
vine. And what happens when we
let Jesus be our Savior and listen
and do what He says; what do our
branches produce? That’s right
- good fruit just like the grapes.
But you know what? We couldn’t
become a yummy grape without
Farmer God or Vine Jesus. We
need both their love and care to
grow into sweet good fruit like the
grapes. Without them, our vines
would wither and die and not produce any fruit.
What does good fruit look like
for us in our lives at home and
school? Are we kind, considerate,
loving, helpful, thankful, and cheerful? Do we try to be a good person
and do what is right to help those
around us? When we keep our lives
connected to Jesus, we will grow
and produce good fruit just like the
grape vine. We will be a blessing to
God and to our family and friends.
Let’s remember the grape vine,
branches, and the good fruit every
time we eat grapes. Our Father in
heaven says we need to trust in
Him always, and we too will have
good fruit to share with those
around us. Now, go eat those
grapes!
Let’s say a prayer. Dear Jesus,
help us to remember Your example
of the grapes growing on the vine.
Let us always love and depend on
You, so we too can have good fruit
on our vines and be a blessing to
You and those around us. In Your
name we pray, Amen.

Presbyterian Church.

Failure, in the hands of
God, can turn earthbound
eyes to one’s eternal destiny, reveal his need for
forgiveness of sin, and
impress upon him the
urgency of the hour – the
moments are ﬂeetly passing that we have to spend
in preparing for what

crowbar in God’s hand to
pry from us something

And what is His best for

So what will you do

Or will you allow God,
through Jesus Christ, to

The love of God is
actively pursuing you,
seeking to leverage your
failures as well as your
successes for your eternal

Him and surrender to a
love so amazing that all
your imperfections, ﬂaws,

Tough but Fair!

As your Meigs County Common Pleas Judge, I would be working for ALL of Meigs
County. My family and I are from Meigs County, and I have always been proud to be
from Meigs County. I am genuine in my commitment to the community.
I am tough, but fair. I will approach each case without prejudice or bias. I will make
sure the Common Pleas Court is managed with honesty, integrity, and fairness. I will
make sure anyone who is convicted of committing a crime in Meigs County is held
accountable and sentenced appropriately.
I live here and love here. The safety and security of each of you is extremely
important to me.
I have a strong faith and believe that each person who appears in court is another
Child of God and must be given my full attention. I would make sure we are all
protected by upholding the rights guaranteed under the Constitution, and that our
individual liberties are protected. But, if anyone violates the law, commits a crime and
victimizes others, that person must be punished appropriately—and I have no problem
issuing such punishment.
I am dedicated to Meigs County—past, present and future. Vote for me and,
TOGETHER, we can and will build a stronger community.

RACINE, Ohio — Enough runs to spread over a
few games.
The Southern softball team put on an offensive
clinic Wednesday night at Star Mill Park, as the
Lady Tornadoes claimed a 27-2 victory over TriValley Conference Hocking Division guest Miller.
Southern (10-3, 9-1 TVC Hocking) — which
was playing as the visiting team — took a 1-0
lead in the top of the ﬁrst inning, as Josie Cundiff
scored on a wild pitch.
Miller tied the game after a two-out double in
the bottom of the ﬁrst, but Southern broke the
game wide open in the top of the second. The
Lady Tornadoes brought 10 runs home in the second inning, combining two hits with seven walks
and a pair of errors.
Southern increased its lead to 12-1 in the top
of the third, as Shelbi Dailey singled home Paige
VanMeter. SHS plated 10 more runs in the top of
the fourth, which was highlighted by a two-run
home run by VanMeter.
Five walks, one hit and one hit batter brought
ﬁve more Lady Tornadoes around to score in the
top of the ﬁfth, giving SHS a 26-run lead. Miller
scored the ﬁnal run of Southern’s 27-2 victory in
the home half of the ﬁfth inning.
Sydney Cleland was the winning pitcher of
record in four innings for Southern, striking out
three batters and allowing one earned run, one hit

Blue Devils rally past Jackson, 3-2
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio
— Getting back to .500 in
a big way.
The Gallia Academy
baseball team plated three
runs in the bottom half
of the ﬁfth and ultimately
held on Wednesday night
for a 3-2 victory over
visiting Jackson in a nonconference matchup of
former SEOAL rivals at
the VA Memorial Stadium
in Ross County.
The Blue Devils (7-7)
trailed 1-0 through three
innings of play, but the
hosts found some two-out
lightning in a bottle during the home half of the
ﬁfth after sending eight
batters to the plate.

Matt Moreaux and
Andrew Toler stood at
ﬁrst and second with two
outs in the frame, but
Cole Davis responded
with a single to center
that allowed Moreaux to
come home — tying the
game up at one apiece.
Braden Simms followed
with a double to centerﬁeld that plated both
Toler and Davis, giving
the Blue and White a permanent lead of 3-1 after
ﬁve complete.
The Ironmen started
the sixth with a leadoff
walk to Graham, then
Neal drilled a double to
right-center that allowed
Graham to score — cutting the deﬁcit down to
3-2 with nobody out in
the sixth.

The Red and White
mustered only one baserunner in their ﬁnal seven
at-bats, leaving a runner
stranded at third base at
the end of the sixth and
also at ﬁrst base with one
out in the seventh.
Neal also tripled in Graham with two away in the
top of the third while giving JHS a 1-0 advantage.
Both teams produced
ﬁve hits in the game,
with the Blue Devils committing the lone error of
the night. The Ironmen
left ﬁve runners on base,
while the hosts stranded
four on the bags.
Josh Faro was the winning pitcher of record
after allowing two earned
runs, ﬁve hits and one
walk over seven innings

while striking out a dozen
Jackson hitters. Graham
took the loss after surrendering three earned runs,
ﬁve hits and three walks
over ﬁve frames while
fanning three.
Moreaux led GAHS
with two hits, followed by
Davis, Simms and Morgan Stanley with a safety
apiece. Simms knocked
in two RBIs and Davis
added another RBI for
the victors.
Graham and Neal both
had two hits apiece for
the Ironmen, while Blackburn added the other
safety for Jackson. Neal
drove in both runs in the
setback.
