Smith stands
on experience
in public service
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — Current Meigs County Commissioner Randy Smith is seeking the Republican
nomination for a second term in the March 15
primary election.
Smith graduated from the Police Academy in
1999 and served as deputy sheriff
for the Village of Racine until his
election to the commissioners’
ofﬁce required him to relinquish
that position; he is still a commissioned ofﬁcer in the village.
Smith previously held several
positions in the ofﬁce of Meigs Jobs
Smith
and Family Services and said he
feels his time with the agency and
experience as a law enforcement ofﬁcer gave him
a deep understanding of the commissioners’ ofﬁce,
helping him to quickly adjust to his new role.
“I’ve been in public service my entire adult life.
I had worked with the commissioners during my
tenure in Jobs and Family Service, and think that
was a distinct advantage when I became commissioner,” he said. “I already knew how the ofﬁce
operated, so I could hit the ground running.
“Meigs County doesn’t have the resources to
wait for things to happen. It is crucial to have the
experience of being in this ofﬁce and understanding what that entails. We run the ofﬁce like no one
else in the state. We created a new standard for
how commissioners should do their job in Meigs
County.”
The Board of Commissioners is responsible for
the county budget and the appropriating authority for all county government, which includes all
agencies and elected ofﬁcials. They are the sole
taxing authority for the county and approve and
control all county purchases.
When the current commissioners took ofﬁce, he
said residents shared their concerns of a lack of
accountability by the previous administration and a
detachment from the running of county agencies.

Local group holds open forum
By Lindsay Kriz
lkriz@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — “Most
addicts are in a dark
tunnel.”
This was how Kelly,
a former drug addict,
described the struggle
of those who are still
addicted to drugs and/or
alcohol in Meigs County.
Kelly, whose last
name was not revealed
for privacy reasons,
shared his personal

recovery story during
last week’s Meigs County
Community Prevention
Coalition forum. The
coalition is put together
to work toward a
comprehensive plan to
reduce drug abuse and
increase community
awareness in Meigs
County.
Kelly said his addiction
stemmed from abuse as
a child, and that his own
personal addictions began
for him at the age of 7.

His addiction continued
through his teen years
when he was kicked out
of high school during his
senior year. From there,
he went to Job Corps.
and to the Army, where
he served overseas. When
he returned home, his
addictions helped ease
the pain of his demons,
which now included
PTSD.
“It took the Meigs
County Sheriff’s
Department (sic) to reach

me,” he said. Although
Kelly served prison time,
he was able to see past
the dark tunnel that
so many addicts are
metaphorically in.
“They cannot see
the light of tomorrow
morning, let alone the light
of today,” he said. “They
don’t really want to see the
light on that hand, either.
They’re timid; they don’t
want to leave their house.”

Reggie Robinson, community services manager at Health Recovery Services Inc., shows those attending the Meigs County Community
Prevention Coalition community forum last week signs that have gone up around Gallia County detering people from bringing drugs into
the community. He said that the Meigs County signs being created now will be identical, save for the county name, and hopes that this
can help bring about more awareness in a county where addiction is a significant issue for discussion.

POMEROY— Pomeroy Council
announced they will not pay more
money to Brewce Martin, who
helped install Pomeroy’s skate
park.
Martin spoke at the regular Feb.
1 council meeting and again at a
special ﬁnancial meeting Tuesday,
Feb. 9, saying he felt he should
receive more money for his work
on the project.
During their ﬁnancial meeting,
and later announced to the public

at their Feb. 16 meeting, council
said they planned to provide
community events to assist with
compensation to Martin. However,
they said this meant that the
money for any more of Martin’s
compensation would not come
directly from the village. Sue
Baker, ﬁscal ofﬁcer for Pomeroy,
said this decision is in the
preliminary stages, with no speciﬁc
events planned at this time.
Betty Churchheus and Rochelle
Lamb attended the meeting and
requested the Pomeroy Parking

Lot be shut down for Meigs
Memorial Run vendors May 27-29.
According to the duo, this event
will involve different biker groups,
independent bikers and non-biking
individuals and groups in the
community to volunteer and work
together for a common purpose,
which is to raise money for Meigs
kids in need to have a good
Christmas. This past Christmas,
the committee was able to shop
for 100 Meigs County children for

WASHINGTON —
Health care for all. It’s
a goal that tugs at the
heartstrings of Democrats, but pursuing it
usually invites political
peril.
Now Bernie Sanders
and Hillary Clinton are
clashing over this core
question for liberals,
making it a wedge issue
in the party’s presidential primary.
It’s a choice between
his conviction that a
government-run system
would be fairer and more
affordable, and her preference for step-by-step
change at a time of widespread skepticism about
federal power.
The late Sen. Edward
Kennedy once championed a Sanders-like “single-payer” system, yet
during nearly 47 years
in ofﬁce Kennedy also
embraced less sweeping
and more politically feasible ideas. Health care
realists greeted President Barack Obama’s law
as vindication. But with
29 million still uninsured
and deductibles of over
$3,000 for taxpayer-subsidized coverage, some
Sanders supporters call
it the “Unaffordable Care
Act.”
Health care for everyone remains the aim for
Democrats. The differences are over the best
way to get there.
“It’s compelling to
see the longstanding
argument over big,
revolutionary change
versus more incremental
change personiﬁed in
two candidates, Bernie
and Hillary,” said John
McDonough, an aide
to Kennedy during the
Obama health overhaul
debate.
The worry is about
provoking a fatal backlash from the political
right.
“Bernie speaks to the
hearts of Democrats,
and Hillary speaks
to the head,” added
McDonough, now a
professor at the Harvard
T.H. Chan School of
Public Health. “It’s about
who is more in tune with
the actual opportunity
and possibility of the
time.”
Both candidates seem
to be struggling to clearly frame the issue.
Sanders sees the
destination, but hasn’t
been able to lay down
a roadmap for getting
there. Clinton can’t seem

John Bazemore |AP

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a rally Sunday in
Greenville, S.C.

to ﬁt her menu of tweaks
into a persuasive vision.
They’re talking past each
other, said Yale professor
Ted Marmor, in a “dialogue of the deaf” that
leaves voters confused.
Signed almost six
years ago, Obama’s
health overhaul is
the starting point for
Democrats who would
succeed him. About
16 million people have
gained coverage, and the
uninsured rate has fallen
to 9 percent, a historic
achievement. Economic
recovery helped, but
the biggest increases in
coverage came after the
health law’s insurance
markets and Medicaid
expansion got going in
2014.
Nonetheless, 28.8 million remain uninsured,
and many are still struggling to pay for care even
though they have coverage. A government survey estimated that 44.5
million people under
age 65 were in families
with problems paying
medical bills. On top
of that, “Obamacare” is
mind-numbing to many
consumers, a program
that combines two of the
most complicated areas:
insurance and taxes.
“The Affordable Care
Act made some improvements for some people,
but the health care
system is failing lots of
Americans,” said Stefﬁe
Woolhandler, a longtime
single-payer activist and
primary-care physician.

“That made it inevitable that further reform
would be back on the
table.”
Under Sanders’ plan
there would be no premiums, no deductibles, no
copayments, no hospital
bills. Instead, there’d be
signiﬁcant tax increases.
Government-run
health care in the world’s
richest country in theory
should be able to cover
everyone and keep costs
manageable, but Sanders
has been unable to demonstrate that the math
behind his plan adds up.
One analysis found he
overestimates how much
his proposed new taxes
would raise; another
concluded he underestimates the plan’s costs.
Former President Bill
Clinton’s failed 1990s
health plan pledged
coverage for all, but it
maintained a private
insurance market, albeit
highly regulated. A key
element of Obama’s law
— the requirement that
individuals get health
insurance — comes from
a Republican counterproposal to the earlier
Clinton plan.
Now Hillary Clinton
has pledged to build on
Obama’s progress, outlining policy proposals to
limit prescription drug
prices and out-of-pocket
costs. She’d repeal
Obama’s unpopular
“Cadillac tax” on highcost health insurance
plans, which is meant as
a brake on spending.

But Clinton doesn’t
connect the dots on how
her ideas might advance
age-old Democratic aspirations.
“I think she has to
go back to those basics
and stay there,” said
Rep. Jim McDermott,
D-Wash., who once
introduced single-payer
legislation with Sanders,
but is supporting Clinton. He checks off a list:
“Coverage for all, no preexisting conditions, no
medical bankruptcy.”
Recent analysis from
the nonpartisan Kaiser
Family Foundation suggests that there’s room to
cover many more uninsured people under the
framework of Obama’s
law. Nearly 6 in 10 of the
uninsured would be eligible for subsidized private
insurance, existing Medicaid programs or, if the
remaining states accept
it, expanded Medicaid.
But incremental
progress is unsatisfying
for Sanders and those
committed to a singlepayer plan. If elected
president, the Vermont
senator says, he’d lead a
political revolution for
universal health care.
Other Democrats wonder.
“We saw a political revolution around
health care reform,”
McDonough, the former
Kennedy aide, said of the
“Obamacare” debate. “It
was called the tea party.”

“We’re losing our country,” she
said.
The lone Democrat in the race,
Corey Foister of Fairﬁeld, said he
would bring a bipartisan, “working together,” approach to the
seat. He said at age 25 and recently out of Northern Kentucky
University, he can relate to young
people as someone who “knows
how hard it is.”
The forum was relatively polite,
without direct attacks on each
other.
“It’s a good slate. It’s a very
respectful group,” state Rep. Tim
Derickson, R-Hanover Township,
said afterward. “There’s not a lot
of ego up here. I think there’s a
real sincere desire to serve the
community, and I’m impressed
with that.”
State Sen. Bill Beagle, R-Tipp
City, picked up a noteworthy
endorsement Monday from Butler
County Sheriff Richard Jones.
The veteran sheriff had considered running for the seat himself,
and Beagle said he expects Jones’
support to “be very helpful” in
Butler, the district’s key county,
and across the district.

Police: 6-year-old apparently
drowned in northeast Ohio

Authorities say a hotel employee and a witness performed CPR.
Independence Police Chief Michael Kilbane says investigators
haven’t determined whether they’ll charge the adult who left the
children.

INDEPENDENCE (AP) — Police say a 6-year-old boy who
apparently drowned was without adult supervision at a northeast
Ohio hotel pool.
Investigators say Anthony Kelly was among a group of children
who attended a birthday party Saturday at the DoubleTree Hotel
in Independence. Ofﬁcials say the Cleveland boy was pulled from
the pool by a bystander and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities say an adult had been supervising the children, but
left a teenager in charge and went to a hotel room. Police say the
14-year-old girl told them she warned the boy not to jump into the
pool.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has won
the endorsement of Tom Ridge, a former director of homeland
security and Pennsylvania governor.
Ridge had been supporting former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
for president since early 2015 and joined him on the campaign
trail in South Carolina. Bush quit the race Saturday after a
disappointing ﬁnish in the Iowa, New Hampshire and South
Carolina primaries.

Smith cited several capital improvement projects
that have come to fruition
since 2013, including
the MedFlight project,
centrally located for the
Emergency Medical Center, the Emergency Operation Center and the Emergency Medical Treatment
Center, creation of an
emergency room and a
new dog shelter.
“When I was running
for commissioner in
2012, one of the issues
shared by many residents,
including my own family,
was the need for a new
dog shelter,” Smith said.
“The shelter is almost
completed and was paid

funds. We didn’t have to
borrow the money. We
are very proud of being
able to accomplish that
and still have a large
amount to carryover.”
Along with the duties
of the commissioners’
ofﬁce, Smith is on several boards including the
County Commissioners
Association of Ohio and
the Small Community
Affairs committee. He
said being on these
boards helps give Meigs
County a voice in the
state.

THEIR VIEW

Ending the cycle
of addiction
Drug overdoses are on the rise across Ohio and
opioid abuse, in particular, has wreaked havoc
across our state, devastating thousands of families.
In 2014, more people in Ohio died from drug
overdoses than any year on record. A staggering
2,482 Ohioans died from overdoses
in 2014, including a record number
of prescription drug overdoses and
1,177 overdose deaths related to
heroin.
These numbers mean nearly 2,500
Ohio families lost a loved one to
addiction in one year alone. And

struggle with opioid abuse.
It should not be easier for Ohioans
to get their hands on opioids than it
is for them to get help to treat their addiction.
Addiction isn’t an individual problem or a
character ﬂaw — it’s a chronic disease that, when
left untreated, places a massive burden on our
health care system, and on our families. This is a
multifaceted issue and we need a comprehensive
approach that addresses the entire spectrum of
addiction, from prevention to recovery.
That’s why I’ve introduced the Heroin and Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention and Reduction
Act, which will boost prevention efforts, improve
tools for crisis response, expand access to treatment, and provide support for lifelong recovery.
This bill would provide funding for communities
to train ﬁrst responders and medical professionals
to prevent overdoses. It would also expand access
to treatments, including effective medicationassisted treatment, and provide funding opportunities for other proven, evidence-based treatment
efforts. It would make naloxone — a safe and
effective medication that can reverse overdoses —
more affordable and accessible for the communities that need it most.
But to truly make headway against the scourge
of drug addiction, we need to support lifelong
recovery, and to prevent addiction before it starts.
Our bill would do both, expanding recovery support services and strengthening health care parity
in mental health and substance use disorders, so
that those who seek treatment are able to get clean
and stay clean.
During a roundtable my ofﬁce held in Chillicothe, we continually heard how important prevention is. The community organizations and local
governments are already stretched thin — in both
time and resources — dealing with the increasing
number of residents who struggle with addiction.
They don’t have the time or the resources they
know that they need to educate their communities
about prevention.
To make sure fewer Ohioans become trapped
in the cycle of addiction in the ﬁrst place, our bill
would set new guidelines for health care providers who prescribe opioids, implementing regular
training to help prescribers better identify and
diagnose addiction.
It would also boost efforts to identify at-risk
areas, including areas that are already struggling
with high levels of addiction, where the problem
is likely to become worse. And it would give communities new ﬂexibility to use grant money they
receive for prevention efforts.
The only way we will stop this epidemic is by
combatting it at every level — from prevention to
treatment to recovery.

that no one in the room really
wanted to be there — that they
didn’t really want to listen to my
lame lesson.
I pictured how silly I must look
and how stupid I must sound.
I couldn’t breathe. I wanted to
vomit. But as the school days
passed, I realized that how I talked
to myself mattered more than the
assignments I was giving — mattered more than the demographic
of student’s in the classroom —
mattered even more than my master’s degree.
The voice inside my head determined my ability to convey a point
or model a skill successfully.
Once I caught on that my self-talk
was the foundation of my reality, I’d
grab a rampant negative thought
before it had a chance to foster.
Whatever it said, I said the opposite. If I heard, “You aren’t interesting enough to keep the class’s attention,” I said, “I’m creative and my
student’s are curious.”
I got good at nabbing that nasty
voice in my head and twisting it to
say what I wanted it to say. It’s my
head, after all.
I’ve heard people say they talk to
themselves because they like the
answers they get. I like mine, too.
The nicer I speak to myself, the
nicer I speak to everyone in my
path. Double-talk redeﬁned.
Now how amazing is that!

The Defenders advance to OCSAA Final four
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

CIRCLEVILLE — The
Defenders made good on
their name on Saturday,
and successfully defended their South Region
championship.
The Ohio Valley Christian School boys basketball team is returning
to the Ohio Christian
School Athletic Association state Final Four,
thanks to notching a
60-55 victory over Hope
New Christian in the
South Region championship game at Ohio Christian University.
The Defenders were
also avengers on Saturday, as New Hope had
defeated the Defenders
61-36 earlier in the season.
Last season, OVCS
advanced to the OCSAA
state semiﬁnals — and
ﬁnished third.
With the win, OVCS
raised its record to 18-5,
and will now face Calvary Christian in Friday
night’s state semiﬁnal at
7:30 p.m. at OCU.
The ﬁrst semiﬁnal, set
for 6 p.m., pits Temple
Christian Dayton and
Temple Christian Mansﬁeld.
The two losing teams
from Friday night’s (Feb.
26) semis square off in
the consolation game on
Saturday (Feb. 27) at 1
p.m.
The two winners will
return to Circleville on
Saturday afternoon at 5
p.m. — for the OCSAA
state championship

game.
OVCS had to rally
past New Hope in the
regional title tilt, trailing 18-14 following the
ﬁrst quarter and 44-42
following the third.
But by outscoring
New Hope by seven
points apiece in the second and fourth frames,
the Defenders did the
job in winning the South
Region.
OVCS held New Hope,
in fact, to only six second-quarter points.
Ohio Valley Christian
came from behind in
the fourth quarter, trailing 54-52 when Elijah
McDonald drained a
three-pointer to give the
Defenders the lead for
good.
After Austin Ragan’s
free throw for OVCS,
and one by New Hope,
McDonald drained 4-of-4
free throws in the ﬁnal
few minutes for the
60-55 ﬁnal.
McDonald poured in
25 points to pace the
Defenders, hitting ﬁve
three-point goals in the
process — along with
those ﬁnal four free
throws.
He also had three twopoint goals, shooting
8-of-9 from the ﬁeld for
the entire game.
Ragan, on two twos,
two threes and 3-of-4
foul shots, recorded 13
points for OVCS.
Marshall Hood had 12
points on four ﬁeld goals
and 4-of-7 free throws,
while Dillon Ragan registered seven points on
two ﬁeld goals and 3-of-

4 free throws.
Justin Sizemore made
a ﬁeld goal and Justin

Price ﬁnished with
eight points on three
ﬁeld goals, while Matt
Smith scored a secondperiod bucket and
dished out four assists.
Sheets sank all four of
the Marauders’ triples,
part of seven total ﬁeld
goals and 2-of-4 free
throws for a game-high
20 points.
Lilly, on six ﬁeld
goals, chipped in 13,
while Mattox —on four
ﬁeld goals and 2-of-2
free throws —tallied 10.
Kennedy also made a
ﬁrst-quarter ﬁeld goal,
as Lilly led in rebounds
with eight while Kennedy and Sheets secured
six apiece.
Musser, who hit
ﬁve key threes in the
Marauders’ sectional
semiﬁnal win, was limited in his mobility and
held scoreless.
“Luke was trying to
play. He had that ankle
taped up and was trying to play with a brace
on it. But that caused
him to be not as effective tonight,” said Fry.
“But he’s a gutty kid and
he wanted to play and
we thought he could.
We tried. But all of our
kids left everything they
had out on the ﬂoor
tonight. It’s one thing
if you don’t give effort
and lose, but these kids
played as hard as they
could play and I’m proud
of them for that.”
The Marauders’ largest leads were 5-0 and
7-2, but back-to-back
treys off the wing by
Thompson and Price put
the Falcons in front —
where they remained for
the game’s ﬁnal 22 minutes and 19 seconds.
Fairﬁeld Union led by
11 points three times in
the ﬁnal 1:02 —until the
59-47 ﬁnal score was its
largest.
Fry said his Marauders, which graduate
seniors Lilly, Sheets,
Jaxon Meadows, Tyler
Fields and Jake Korn,
can look back on a historic season with fond
memories.
“I didn’t know it had
been that long (1986-87)
since we had won that
many (18),” said the
third-year MHS coach.
“It was a very good season and I’m very proud
of our seniors and all of
our kids.”
