Essmiller began donating blood and even coordinated a few blood drives when she was in college. “Donating blood is a simple gift that I can make that may help up to three people live another day,” she said. “That makes me feel like a hero.” OHIO VALLEY — The Meigs County Soil and Water Conservation District recently shared on their Facebook page the guidelines for proper recycling in the Ohio Valley area. Meigs SWCD Wildlife Specialist Jim Freeman said that while the recycling efforts are no longer Meigs SWCD’s program, they still assist the Gallia-JacksonMeigs-Vinton Solid Waste Management District spread the word on proper disposal of recyclables at centers in the four counties. Cindy Saltsman, director and treasurer for the district, said the current recycling program began in 2014 and is considered single-stream recycling, meaning that residents don’t have to sort their own recyclable materials. “It’s taken care of, and it’s much easier for residents to recycle now,” she said. Saltsman said the district pays Rumpke for the bins and service, so there is no cost to those who recycle, which is another incentive. According to the district, items that are OK to recycle include ofﬁce papers and folders; newspapers, including any inserts, catalogs, magazines, cardboard that has been ﬂattened/ broken down; phone books; magazines; junk mail and envelopes. Saltsman reminded residents to scratch out any private information on documents, including envelopes, plastic bottles and jugs with a mouth smaller than the base, glass bottles and jars of any color with removed caps/lids, aerosol cans with removed lids/ caps, steel and tin cans, aluminum cans and carts for fruit juices and milk, with straws removed. Items not accepted Saltsman said many people still drop off include plastic containers without a bottle neck, plastic bags, wrap, tubs, toys, buckets, metal hangers, wire, scrap, hazardous and ﬂammable materials, plumbing, pots and pans, car parts, electronics, rope, string, clothing, dishware, ceramics, items made of wood, video tapes, car parts, cups and Styrofoam.

Music Therapy ‘soothes the soul’ By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — Touch Productions provided a Music Therapy session for residents at Overbrook Rehabilitation Center on Monday afternoon, as Charlie and Celia Hollander Lewis from Athens brought their talents to the Center. The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) deﬁnes music therapy as the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. The concept origionated in the 1950’s and by the 1970’s as an established health profession. The therapy uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals. Often those who ﬁnd it difﬁcult to express themselves in words will ﬁnd in music an avenue of communication. According to the AMTA, research supports its effectiveness as a component in overall physical rehabilitation, and credits it with facilitating movement and increasing motivation to become engaged in treatment. Music therapy may also provide emotional support for patients and their families as an outlet through which to express feelings.

At least three deaths were reported on slick roads, all in Virginia.

Authorities say more than a dozen homes were destroyed in both states, but there were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries. In the Paciﬁc Northwest, a President’s Day storm brought record rainfall and sent rivers overﬂowing their banks in Washington state. 60576582 CHICAGO — Civil rights attorneys, clergymen and several elected ofﬁcials ﬁled a court petition Tuesday seeking to force Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to hand over the prosecution and any further investigation involving the fatal police shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald to a special prosecutor. The petition, coming as Alvarez is in a heated primary battle for her job in large part because of this case, contends that her demonstrated reluctance to charge police ofﬁcers and, in particular, her close ties to the police ofﬁcers’ union, creates a “conﬂict of interest and disqualiﬁes” her from prosecuting Ofﬁcer Jason Van Dyke and perhaps charge other ofﬁcers. Alvarez, who has defended her handling of what she has called a complex case, suggested the call for a special prosecutor was politically motivated, noting several supporters of her challenger in the Democratic primary for state’s attorney were among those who joined that call. “It’s more than a little coincidental that this action is being taken less than 30 days before an election (primary),” she said in a statement, denying that her ties to the police union and the department are too close for her to be even-handed. “There is no legal conﬂict in this case.” Activists have harshly criticized Alvarez for waiting more than a year to charge Van Dyke despite a now-famous dashcam video of the teen being shot 16 times as he seemed to be walking away from ofﬁcers on Oct. 20, 2014. Since her ofﬁce charged Van Dyke with ﬁrst-degree murder in November, some activists said she should let another prosecutor’s ofﬁce handle the case. McDonald’s great-uncle, Marvin Hunter, who has called for a special prosecutor in the past, said he supported the petition because he has no conﬁdence in Alvarez or her ofﬁce. Locke Bowman of Northwestern University’s MacArthur Justice Center said he and others hoped Alvarez would decide on her own to let another ofﬁce handle the prosecution but ﬁled the petition when they believed that was not going to happen. The move underlines problems Alvarez may have in next month’s primary, where she faces Kim Foxx, a former aide to the county board president, and former prosecutor Donna More. Since the video of McDonald’s shooting was released, the relationship between law enforcement and the community has frayed further, spurring the chant of “16 shots and a cover-up” by demonstrators protesting the treatment of African-Americans by the police. While the police’s use of force drew much of the attention, Alvarez’s will to bring charges against police who have broken the law has turned into a critical issue of the campaign. The petition called the McDonald case only the most recent example of Alvarez’s failure to prosecute ofﬁcers who break the law themselves or cover up wrongdoing by fellow ofﬁcers. Alvarez defended her record, saying in her statement that she has brought charges against 96 law enforcement ofﬁcers since she took ofﬁce in 2008. Chicago police union president Dean Angelo Sr. was not immediately available for comment. Illinois law dictates that in an ongoing criminal case it’s the presiding judge who decides whether a special prosecutor is needed because of potential bias by a state attorney’s ofﬁce. But special prosecutors have been appointed in other high-proﬁle cases. Former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb was asked in 2012 to look into whether then-Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley or his family members sought to impede an investigation into the 2004 death of a man punched by Daley’s nephew. And a retired judge was appointed in 2009 to review allegations of police torture going back decades ago under former Chicago police commander Jon Burge.

Sparks Contributing Columnist Justice Antonin Scalia’s death leaves the Supreme Court without one of its most courageous and colorful conservative legal minds. First, he was a staunch defender of the separation of powers, which, like the American founders, Scalia saw as a bulwark against government tyranny. It made no difference to Scalia which branch’s powers were being threatened by the encroachment of another branch. He relied upon the clear language of separation in the Constitution. The founders vested legislative power in Congress (Article I), executive power in the president (Article II), and judicial power in the Supreme Court (Article III). That unequivocal proclamation of separation is found in the ﬁrst sentences of each article and Scalia refused to allow it to be ignored. Examples of Scalia’s unrelenting defense of the separation of powers are numerous. But, perhaps, the most erudite were his arguments against the Ethics in Government Act, dubbed the “independent counsel act” in the 1988 case of Morrison v. Olson. There, Scalia, the sole dissenter from the majority, maintained that by passing the independent counsel legislation Congress “does deprive the president of substantial control over the prosecutory functions performed by the independent counsel … and it does substantially affect the balance of power.” The dissent is typical of Scalia. Most of the ﬁve-part opinion would be required reading in an upper-level political science class. However, the acerbic thrusts that characterize his style inevitably appear. He says that sometimes efforts to claim power from another branch “come before the Court clad, so to speak, in sheep’s clothing … But this wolf comes as a wolf.” In the end, Scalia stood upon what the founders put in the text of the Constitution: “I prefer to rely upon the judgment of the wise men who constructed our system, and of the people who approved it, and two centuries of history that have shown it to be sound.” Secondly, Scalia was a defender of classical federalism — the recognition that certain powers were intended by the framers to remain with state governments and not be denied to the states by any branch of the federal government, especially the judiciary. In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, Scalia justiﬁably indicts his fellow justices in the majority (upholding a modiﬁed Roe v. Wade) with his usual directness. He reminds them that they have no business in the “abortion umpiring business” because the Constitutional question about “whether [abortion] is a liberty protected by the Constitution of the United States” should be answered simply: “I am sure it is not.” “We should get out of this area, where we have no right to be, and where we do neither ourselves nor the country any good by remaining.” The third feature of the jurisprudence of Scalia was his opposition to the judiciary minting new rights out of thin air, that is, “rights” not explicitly found in the Constitution. His dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges calls out the majority opinion which upholds samesex unions. He laments that it is “lacking in even a thin veneer of law.” He maintains that the majority is engaged in a “judicial Putsch” that is a sudden overthrow of the rules which govern this area of law. He goes on to complain that the majority is “entirely comfortable concluding that every State violated the Constitution for all of the 135 years between the Fourteenth Amendment’s ratiﬁcation and Massachusetts’s permitting of same-sex marriages in 2003. They have discovered in the Fourteenth Amendment a ‘fundamental right’ overlooked by every person alive at the time of ratiﬁcation, and almost everyone else in the time since … minds like Thomas Cooley, John Marshall Harlan, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. … Louis Brandeis … Felix Frankfurter.” Stating his position in favor of respect for the states and against his own court’s “hubris,” he exclaimed: “This is a naked judicial claim to legislative — indeed, super-legislative — power, a claim fundamentally at odds with our system of government.” His stances on the separation of powers, federalism and judicially created “rights” were rooted in his opposition to the “ﬂexibility” advocated by “living constitution” jurists. In the no-holds-barred style of the ebullient but brilliant judge, Scalia summed it up for a Federalist Society gathering: “[T]he argument of ﬂexibility … goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break. But you would have to be an idiot to believe that. The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn’t say other things.” Precisely so, your honor! Requiescat in pace. Dr. John A.

Natural gas supplies have grown so fast that U.S. prices are crashing due to oversupply. The industry wants to ﬁx this imbalance through exports. Shipping the stuff overseas requires condensing natural gas into liquid form at very high heat, using expensive infrastructure. More production will trigger more pollution and potential leaks. Exporting liqueﬁed natural gas, or LNG, also depends on persuading foreigners to buy it. But where are the customers? Selling to Europe means competing with Russian producers. And the Russians stand ready to block this competition by slashing their own prices. At the same time, liqueﬁed natural gas prices in Asia have fallen. Experts say they could plunge further as supplies outweigh demand. In other words, the natural gas business has turned into a moneylosing venture at the same time that the fossil fuel’s real costs to people and the planet are becoming clearer. Capping the failed well won’t stop all the physical, emotional, and ﬁnancial distress experienced by Laura Gideon and thousands of other Southern Californians. As she told the AP: “We’re in mourning now.” The natural gas industry probably is too. It’s a fracking mess.

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 17, the 48th day of 2016. There are 318 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 17, 1996, world chess champion Garry Kasparov beat IBM supercomputer “Deep Blue,” winning a six-game match in Philadelphia (however, Kasparov lost to Deep Blue in a rematch in 1997). On this date: In 1815, the United States and Britain exchanged the instruments of ratiﬁcation for the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812. In 1863, the International Red Cross was founded in Geneva. In 1865, during the Civil War, Columbia, S.C., burned as the Confederates evacuated and Union forces moved in. In 1904, the original two-act version of Giacomo Puccini’s opera “Madama Butterﬂy” received a poor reception at its premiere at La Scala in Milan, Italy. In 1913, the Armory Show, a landmark modern art exhibit, opened in New York City. In 1925, the ﬁrst issue of The New Yorker magazine (bearing the cover date of Feb. 21) was published. In 1933, Newsweek magazine was ﬁrst published under the title “News-Week.” In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces invaded Eniwetok Atoll, encountering little initial resistance from Imperial Japanese troops. (The Americans secured the atoll less than a week later.) In 1959, the United States launched Vanguard 2, a satellite which carried meteorological equipment. In 1964, the Supreme Court, in Wesberry v. Sanders, ruled that congressional districts within each state had to be roughly equal in population. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Hal Holbrook is 91.

Finding music they listened to in their younger years provides an opportunity to reach people who are otherwise really difﬁcult to reach. They respond to music, especially of their era, in ways they do not respond to other stimuli.” “We try to touch as many people as possible through our music,” he said. “We like for residents to request songs they remember, and if we know them, we will play them. And if not, we will learn them before we return.” The couple played and sang songs from the 30’s and 40’s, followed by tunes from the 50’s and 60’s to the applause of Overbrook residents and visitors.

The House State Government Committee approved the measure by unanimous vote Tuesday. The idea has been proposed before without getting anywhere. This marks the latest effort in the Wright brothers’ home state to reinforce their place in history as aviation pioneers. Connecticut claims that a powered ﬂight by another aviator pre-dated Orville and Wilbur Wright’s 1903 famous ﬂight off Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, by two years. Connecticut lawmakers passed a law in 2013 requiring their governor to proclaim “Powered Flight Day” in honor of aviator Gustave Whitehead. Ohio lawmakers acted last year to repudiate the claim.

Tigers top Blue Devils in sectional By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com RICHMOND DALE — Unfortunately — and ultimately — for the Blue Devils, Monday’s matchup against the McClain Tigers was a microcosm of a February to forget. That’s because, by only scoring ﬁve points or fewer in three of the four quarters, the Gallia Academy High School boys basketball team saw its season come to an abrupt end in the Division II sectional quarterﬁnals at Southeastern High School. McClain made life difﬁcult on the Blue Devils from tip to ﬁnal buzzer, as the Tigers topped Gallia Academy 46-27 in the 2016 tournament opener. With the win, McClain moved to 5-17 —and returned to Southeastern tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 17) to play top-seeded Unioto in the sectional semiﬁnals. The Blue Devils, meanwhile, concluded their campaign at 7-16 —and did not win any of their six games in the month of February to end the year. Gallia Academy, after handling Jackson 48-34 on Jan. 30, ﬁnished the season on a six-game losing streak. Just two days after struggling in a 53-40 loss at Jackson in the regularseason ﬁnale, the Blue Devils didn’t get anything going against the Tigers. They scored just four points in each of the opening two quarters, then were done in by a ﬁve-point fourth period —with the 46-27 ﬁnal score being McClain’s largest lead. Gallia Academy trailed 19-8 at halftime and 34-22 after three quarters, and only sliced the deﬁcit to single digits twice in the second half (29-20 and 34-25). The loss also left the Blue Devils with a 1-7 tournament record since 2010, as that only win was a 55-45 victory over Jackson in last season’s sectional quarters. The 2008 tourney represents Gallia Academy’s last sectional championship. In addition to only scoring 27 points, the Blue Devils did not get to the free-throw line, attempting only eight and making only three. McClain — on the other hand — hit 20-of-27 from the stripe, going 19-of-26 over the ﬁnal three quarters. But the Tigers’ 2-3 zone, with some length involved, took Gallia Academy out of its offensive ﬂow from the get-go. Randall Mischal and Zach Peck, both standing six-foot, two-inches tall along with 6-3 Jacob Starkey, simply stymied the Blue Devil gameplan. Gallia Academy also struggled against the Ironmen’s zone defense Saturday night. “The past couple of games, teams have played us zone and we just never found a groove,” said GAHS coach Gary Harrison. “And the past two years we’ve played our sectional here, Southeastern is not a shooter’s gym. You’re not going to get friendly rolls off the rim and the background is different. It’s just a different environment. But McClain has a little bit of length to them too, which caused us some problems. They are long and in our league (Ohio Valley Conference), there are not a lot of ‘long’ kids. But we still had shots that we didn’t make.” In the ﬁrst half, of the Blue Devils’ 21 true offensive possessions, 17 resulted in either a turnover or missed shot. Wes Jarrell scored inside off an assist from Miles Cornwell with three minutes and 25 seconds gone by in the opening quarter. That was Gallia Academy’s only lead, as Devin Henry hit a shot off a Jarrell assist at the 20-second mark for the next Blue and White points. Matt Barton bagged both of the Tigers’ three-pointers in the quarter, including his ﬁrst with 1:48 left to give McClain the lead for good. Jarrell scored at the 5:52 point of the second stanza for the next Blue Devil points, but Peck scored six straight for McClain, making it 17-6 halfway through the period. The Blue Devils’ drought of three minutes and 12 seconds in the canto ended when Kole Carter scored inside off another Cornwell assist. But Cody Hardesty had his second ﬁeld goal for McClain at the 1:37 mark to make it 19-8. Jarrell, Gallia Academy’s top scorer, then picked up his third personal foul late in the ﬁrst half — followed by his fourth just 28 seconds into the second half. “Wes was averaging 16 points per game, and not having him in there the whole third quarter hurt us,” said Harrison. “That takes away from your offense, and allows them to play perimeter defense instead of on him in the post.” His ﬁrst ﬁeld goal of the fourth quarter, with 5:12 remaining, got the Blue Devils to within nine (34-25), but his other ﬁeld goal —with just 1:40 left — were the ﬁnal GAHS markers. Gallia Academy’s only other point in the period was a Drew VanSickle early foul shot. Cornwell led the Blue Devils with nine points —all in the third period, including both of the club’s threes and a free throw. Carter chipped in a ﬁeld goal and foul shot in the third, along with an Evan Wiseman ﬁeld goal. Barton, who drained 5-of-6 fourthquarter free throws, paced the Tigers with 11 points. Mischal scored all 10 of his in the third frame —on two ﬁeld goals and 6-of-8 freebies. Peck posted nine points, scoring three more in the third after his secondquarter six. Starkey scored seven on three ﬁeld goals, and by splitting a pair of ﬁrstquarter free throws. The contest was the ﬁnal for six Blue Devil seniors: Jarrell, Carter, Henry, VanSickle, Russell Mathew and Clay Smith. “I feel bad for my six seniors because I loved everything that they did for us” said Harrison. “I’ve had them for three years and they’ve gotten better. Each year, we’ve gotten better as a team. They are a big reason why our program is on the rise and they are going to be missed. They did a great job.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 �Wednesday, February 17, 2016 7 60639302 Daily Sentinel �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 Money To Lend Apartments/Townhouses Want To Buy NOTICE Borrow Smart.

Cincinnati opens spring training CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds manager Bryan Price was driving to Goodyear, Arizona, for the start of spring training and thinking about all of the decisions ahead. He’s got many more than usual because of Cincinnati’s near-total makeover. The Reds continued their fullscale rebuilding in the offseason, trading popular third baseman Todd Frazier and closer Aroldis Chapman for prospects. What’s left is enough veterans to ﬁll out most of an everyday lineup, a starting rotation with little experience, and a bullpen that has to be totally reconﬁgured. And the bench? That’s a whole other story. “We’ll have a lot of competition in camp,” the third-year manager said during a phone interview as he headed for Cincinnati’s spring training complex. The Reds lost 98 games last season as they launched into an overhaul that will take several years. Most of the prospects they acquired aren’t quite ready for the majors. The Reds are hoping to add some veterans to the roster before the start of the season, giving them a few more reliable options off the bench and out of the bullpen. The everyday lineup is set at six spots: Joey Votto at ﬁrst; Brandon Phillips at second after blocking trades; Zack Cozart back at shortstop; Billy Hamilton in center ﬁeld; Jay Bruce in right and Devin Mesoraco behind the plate. Eugenio Suarez, who ﬁlled in at shortstop after Cozart tore knee ligaments, will move to third initially and ﬁll Frazier’s spot. Left ﬁeld is likely to be a platoon role with several players competing. The pitching staff is anybody’s guess. Some things to watch: CHAPMAN’S REPLACEMENT There’s no heir apparent to Chapman and his 100 mph fastball. He was 33 of 36 in save chances last season, with nobody else getting more than one save. J.J. Hoover had a solid season in the set-up role, but was only 1 of 7 in save chances. Jumbo Diaz was 1 of 5. “That’s probably out biggest challenge, without question — trying to deﬁne bullpen roles,” Price said. “We’re still going to look and see if there’s an opportunity to acquire somebody before opening day.” MESORACO & COZART Mesoraco had hip surgery on June 29. Cozart tore the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments and the biceps tendon in his right knee on June 6. Price said both are on schedule for returning to a full-time role by opening day. He’ll ease them in during spring training games. BAILEY’S RETURN Starter Homer Bailey had Tommy John surgery on May 8 and is on schedule to return in early May. Price said he threw 15 pitches off a bullpen mound last week without problem. As the only member of the rotation with signiﬁcant experience, the Reds are counting on Bailey to help the youngsters come along. “It’s essential,” Price said. “It’s important to have a veteran guy with the players in the clubhouse.” ROTATION Anthony DeScalfani (9-13, 4.05 ERA) and Raisel Iglesias (3-7, 4.15 ERA) pitched well enough to be considered part of the 2016 rotation. There’s a long list of young pitchers who will be looking to ﬁll out the last three spots for the start of the season. Cincinnati went with an all-rookie rotation after Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake were traded in July, and most of them struggled. LEFT FIELD It’s been the big hole in the lineup for years. The Reds ﬁnally got a full-time starter by trading for Marlon Byrd before the 2015 season, but he also was dealt as part of the midseason overhaul. A half-dozen players could get considered for a platoon at the spot. Do you have story ideas or suggestions? Let us know!

River Valley had a pair of runner-ups in sophomore Jeremiah Dobbins at 132 and junior Robert Drummond at heavyweight. Both Raiders battled hard in their league championship tilts, as Dobbins lost a 4-0 decision to Belpre freshman Hunter Gilbert, while Drummond dropped a 7-0 decision to Chris Yinger of Nelsonville-York. At 145 pounds, Ethan Herdmann of Wahama was runner-up to N-Y’s Colt Yinger, as Yinger took the title with a 20-4 technical fall. Eastern senior Chase Williams, wrestling at 220, was the runner-up in that class — following a pinfall defeat to Nelsonville-York’s Donovan McCollister. River Valley’s third-place wrestlers included freshman Jacob Edwards at 113, senior George Williams at 145, junior Grant Gilmore at 152, freshman Nathan Michael at 160 and senior Tyler Ward at 195. The Raiders’ Eric Weber was fourth at 170 pounds. For Meigs — in addition to Hood — it claimed a trio of thirds in sophomore Nathaniel Gearheart at 138, senior Gino Casci at 220, and sophomore Tyson Still at 182. Eastern sophomore Brandon Colburn was third at heavyweight (285), while Wahama sophomore Trey Peters placed third at lightweight (106). Nelsonville-York notched six weight-class championships, while Athens earned three and Alexander two. Besides Hood for Meigs and Gilbert for Belpre, senior Weston Wagner won Waterford’s only crown. River Valley and Meigs will be among the Division II teams, and Eastern among the Division III clubs, competing in sectional tournament action at Alexander High School this weekend (Feb. 19 and 20).
