Literacy specialist Mona Dougherty teaches Meigs teachers “Fundations.”

MIDDLEPORT — Meigs
Primary School may be vacant
of young children during the
summer, but for three days
between June 8-10, the school
hosted plenty of students.
“The perception is after the
last day of school, teachers are
free for three months,” Principal Kristin Baer said. “This is
not the case.”
The school’s teachers in
kindergarten, ﬁrst and second
grade spent the week attend-

Phoneme is a sound that creates distinct words, though often
spelled many ways. The phoneme ‘er’ is a sound in the words: fur,
fern, ranger, raptor (depending on the pronunciation), earth and
word. The ability to identify and handle phonemes, even without
explicit awareness of their existence, is thought to be a major
component of early reading success.

ecutor Jeff Adkins
— Jeff Adkins,
told the Daily TriGallia County prosecutor
bune he feels the law
will be a vital tool in
combating harassment in Gallia County.
The Ohio House of Representatives passed the
legislation in late January. It passed the Ohio Senate in late May.
The law attempts to create an address conﬁdentiality program for victims of domestic violence,
stalking, human trafﬁcking, rape and sexual battery. Victims will be assigned a post ofﬁce box
at the Ohio Secretary of State’s ofﬁce to be used
for all governmental records in Ohio. The true
address of the victim will be protected from disclosure, granting victims the freedom to register
to vote, register a vehicle and complete government forms without fear of disclosing their home
address to an abuser searching public records. In
addition to government agencies, the program
permits participants to request their employer,
school or institution of higher education to use the
post ofﬁce box assigned to them by the secretary
of state.
“As a long-standing member of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association, we have put our
full support behind this important legislation,”
Adkins said. “Other groups who joined in the
efforts included the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, the Ohio Coalition to End Sexual Violence,
the Ohio Secretary of State, the Fraternal Order of
Police and others.”

Rifﬂe said. “We will let them operate the
radios legally as third-party operators.”
In addition, Rifﬂe said Gallia County
Sheriff Joe Browning will have a
communications van at the ﬁeld day.
Members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol
and EMS are also expected to attend.
“We want to get the community involved,”
Rifﬂe said.
He added there will be smokers at the
event, and pork loin along with side dishes
will be served. Signs will be posted along the
way to guide residents to the ﬁeld day.
The Mid-Ohio Valley Amateur Radio Club
was formed in the 1950s. Members meet the
ﬁrst Saturday of each month at 8:30 a.m. at
the Gallia County 911 communication center.
Membership is open to those who are
licensed radio operators. Bob Adkins serves
as president of the club, and Teri Burdell
serves as secretary-treasurer.

Chautauqua program’s popularity
with families has remained a
constant,” says Ohio Humanities
Executive Director Pat Williamsen.
Each day, community members
may explore different aspects of
the theme, “The Natural World,”
through hands-on workshops at
Bossard Memorial Library as presented Ohio Humanities scholars
in venues throughout the host
community. A children’s workshop
will be Tuesday through Saturday
at 10:30 a.m. and is geared for
children 7 and older. An adult
workshop will also be at the library
at 2:30 p.m. each day. Parents who
think their children are able to
enjoy the more mature material are
welcome to come as well.
Each evening, as live music ﬁlls
the air, community members meet
under the tent prior to an Ohio
Humanities scholar taking the
stage to bring an historic ﬁgure to
life. Each evening has a different
living-history presentation. These
performances will be centered in
Gallipolis City Park.
Each history scholar encompasses their character’s speech,
mannerisms, clothing, published
reﬂections, struggles and victories.

According to Adkins, there is no reason for
a victim of crime to continually worry about
their personal safety when wanting
to exercise the right to vote or use basic
public services which may then expose
them to danger given research into public
records.
“As a prosecutor, my focus is on separating
victims from their abusers. Address
conﬁdentiality measures such as HB 359
help us accomplish that goal. My ofﬁce staff
includes a victim’s advocate who will be
working closely with victims of sex crimes
and domestic violence to promote the
beneﬁts of this program,” Adkins said.

tent on Saturday evening. Pictured, from left, are: Debra Conner, Dianne Moran, Kevin

Frequently, scholars bring items of
the period that the character would
have used. Each scholar uses any
or all combinations of these elements to create compelling performances.
Afterward, attendees will have
the opportunity to step further

Though the program is
designed to supplement
current reading courses,
it can later be combined
into a complete system
offered through Wilson
Language Training.
The portion adopted by
Meigs Primary School
is designed to teach the
skills believed to later
allow high-level reading,
but is also marketed as
highly effective for students who struggle under
traditional instruction.
In the United States,
the latter number is signiﬁcant.
Dougherty described
lack of parental involvement and a general misunderstanding of how
learning occurs as major
obstacles holding back
American students.
She cited a ﬁgure, supported by the National
Institute of Health, to
suggest up to 20 percent

another question-and-answer segment with the scholar themselves
about the character’s impact on the

about them since their death.

of students may have
some form of dyslexia.
“Even further, up to
one-third of students have
a learning disability, reading disability, or some
form of what is termed a
phonetic awareness barrier,” Dougherty said.
Up-to-date medical
deﬁnitions and statistics
are not typically common
knowledge; for example,
dyslexia is popularly
thought of as a disorder
that causes children to
mix up letters when spelling or reading. More
accurately, dyslexia is
anyone with reading difﬁculties and normal intelligence.
Hearing impairment,
ADHD and vision problems can all manifest as
learning problems, but
their true impact is often
overlooked or misinterpreted.
A child struggling in
sports may turn away
from physical activities
— with lifelong health
repercussions. A student
that is highly challenged
in reading can respond
similarly.
“We expect kids to pick
up these skills instantly,
but no skill works like
that,” Dougherty said,
comparing the Wilsons
course with learning to
drive a car. “Our ﬁrst
time on the road is a
mess, everything is going
wrong. Then, after an
amount of time, we start
to feel comfortable. Now
it seems silly how difﬁcult
things were at ﬁrst.
“It takes practice and
parental effort,” was the
message Dougherty was
trying to get across.
“Parents need to read

to their kids, and from
material up to two levels
above their grade,” she
said.
Even review over weekends is valuable.
“Duplication is not
wasted effort because of
the depth of language,”
she stated.
The class of teachers agreed, and one
added, “We see a sort
of Monday hangover in
students, from a weekend
of no interaction. Being
placed in front of a television for two days does
not help a child’s reading
ability.”
Though helping children is the ultimate goal,
Dougherty argues there
are real costs attached to
early learning problems.
“Eighty-ﬁve percent
of students entering college need remediation in
math or reading. Those
classes are $500” at the
university level, she said.
“Low-achieving students
are much more likely to
drop out of school. How
often”
“(About) 7,000 a day,”
answered the teachers
without hesitation.
“That is 1.2 million
a year in the United
States,” Dougherty said.
Nationally, the United
States compares unfavorably in education to most
developed nations. There
is debate at every level in
the country how to better serve students, which
may soon lead to radical
changes in education
policy and methods.
Meigs Primary isn’t

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY …
Today is Sunday,
June 19, the 171st day
of 2016. There are 195
days left in the year.
This is Father’s Day.

THOUGHT FOR
THE DAY
“Becoming a father is
easy enough, but being
one can be tough.” —
Wilhelm Busch, German
illustrator and poet
(1832-1908)

Today’s Highlight in
History:
On June 19, 1910,
the ﬁrst-ever Father’s
Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington. (The
idea for the observance is credited to Sonora Louise Smart Dodd.)
On this date:
In 1764, Jose Gervasio Artigas, considered the
father of Uruguayan independence, was born in
Montevideo.
In 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston,
Texas, with news that the Civil War was over, and
that all remaining slaves in Texas were free — an
event celebrated to this day as “Juneteenth.”
In 1934, the Federal Communications Commission was created; it replaced the Federal Radio
Commission.
In 1944, during World War II, the two-day Battle
of the Philippine Sea began, resulting in a decisive
victory for the Americans over the Japanese.
In 1953, Julius Rosenberg, 35, and his wife,
Ethel, 37, convicted of conspiring to pass U.S.
atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, were executed
at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York.
In 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was
approved by the U.S. Senate, 73-27, after surviving
a lengthy ﬁlibuster.
In 1966, actor-comedian Ed Wynn, 79, died in
Beverly Hills, California.
In 1972, Hurricane Agnes, blamed for at least
122 deaths, made landfall over the Florida Panhandle.
In 1975, former Chicago organized crime boss
Sam Giancana was shot to death in the basement
of his home in Oak Park, Illinois; the killing has
never been solved.
In 1986, University of Maryland basketball star
Len Bias, the ﬁrst draft pick of the Boston Celtics,
suffered a fatal cocaine-induced seizure. Artiﬁcial
heart recipient Murray P. Haydon died in Louisville, Kentucky, after 16 months on the manmade
pump.
In 1991, actress Jean Arthur died in Carmel,
California, at age 90.
In 1999, author Stephen King was seriously
injured when he was struck by a van driven by
Bryan Smith in North Lovell, Maine. Britain’s
Prince Edward married commoner Sophie RhysJones (rees johnz) in Windsor, England.
Ten years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice warned North Korea it would face consequences if it test-ﬁred a missile thought to be powerful enough to reach the West Coast of the United
States. Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said she
would send National Guard troops and state police
to patrol the streets of New Orleans after a bloody
weekend in which six people were killed. The Carolina Hurricanes won their ﬁrst Stanley Cup with
a 3-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7.
Five years ago: Libya’s government said NATO
warplanes had struck a residential neighborhood
in the capital and killed nine civilians, including
two children; NATO conﬁrmed hours later that
one of its airstrikes had gone astray. Rory McIlroy
ran away with the U.S. Open title, winning by
eight shots and breaking the tournament scoring
record by a whopping four strokes. (McIlroy shot
2-under 69 to close the four days at Congressional
in Bethesda, Maryland, at 16-under 268.) Alyssa
Campanella of Los Angeles won the Miss USA
pageant in Las Vegas.
One year ago: The Obama admininstration
released its annual terrorism report which said
Iran’s support for international terrorist groups
had remained undiminished in the last year and
even expanded in some respects. Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees homered for his
3,000th career hit, becoming the 29th player in
major league history to reach that milestone.
(The Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 7-2.)
Author James Salter, 90, died in Sag Harbor,
New York.
Today’s Birthdays: Pop singer Tommy DeVito
(The Four Seasons) is 88. Actress Gena (JEH’nuh) Rowlands is 86. Hall of Fame race car
driver Shirley Muldowney is 76. Singer Spanky
McFarlane (Spanky and Our Gang) is 74. Nobel

In our corner of southeastern Ohio it is easy to confuse
milkweed with hemp dogbane,
especially with younger plants.
Both plants have similarly shaped
leaves that exude a milky juice
when broken. But the main stem
of hemp dogbane is branched,
forming a bushy plant, while milkweed stems are simple or branch
only at the top.
Seedpods on hemp dogbane are
long and curved, smaller in diameter than a pencil, while milkweed
seedpods are soft and plump.
According to OPHI, to collect
the seed pods from a milkweed
plant it is best to pick them when
they are dry, gray, or brown in
color. If the center seam pops
with gentle pressure, they can be
picked. It is best to collect pods
into paper bags or paper grocery
sacks. Avoid using plastic bags
because they attract moisture.
Store seeds in a cool, dry area
until you can deliver to the closest pod collection area. Harvesting pods from milkweed plants
does not have any effect on the
population of milkweed in established areas.

gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Ripley’s Kelsey Moore and North Marion’s
Shasta Pyles.
Before the fourth batter of the game
made it to the batters’ box, a hail storm
delayed the game for about 30 minutes.
As the storm passed, so did Cochran’s

batters in order. However, Pyles scored
on an error before the South could
escape the inning, and the North led

that run right back in the bottom of the
inning, as Sissonville’s Taylor Casto
doubled home Roque, who entered as a
courtesy runner and stole second base
to get into scoring position. Casto was
stranded on second base, however, as
the next batter grounded out to shortstop.
Sedlock relieved Ward for the South
in the top of the fourth inning, and Musselman’s Sabrina Schroades led off the

frame with a double. However, Sedlock
retired the next three batters in order
and kept the deﬁcit at one.
The South offense was retired in
order in the fourth, but its defense
survived back-to-back two-out singles
by Ritchie County’s Tracy Lamp and
University’s Tess Chaﬁn in the top of
the ﬁfth inning, keeping the North lead
at 4-3.
With their backs against the wall, the
South All-Stars got a single by Orcutt
Lazo to lead off the bottom of the ﬁfth
inning. Orcutt Lazo then advanced to
second on a sac-bunt and third on a
sac-ﬂy. A ground-ball was mishandled
by the North second baseman on the
next play, allowing Spring Valley’s Taylor Scott to beat the throw to ﬁrst and
Orcutt Lazo to score the game-tying
run.
A ﬂy-out to ﬁrst base ended the
inning with the teams tied at four. The
third game was originally scheduled
to be ﬁve innings in length and extra
innings weren’t to be played, leaving the
decision a 4-4 tie.
Christopher was the South MVP for
the third game, while Moore was given
the honor for the North.
Along with Alderman winning both
the home-to-ﬁrst and home-to-third
sprints, Mikayla Willingham of Washington won the fastest overhand throw,
Sedlock won the fastest pitch, Coles
won the long-distance accuracy throw,
Musselman’s Taylor Stocks won the
bunting competition, while Pyles won
the home run derby.
Roque competed in the accuracy,
bunting and sprint challenges, while
Cochran took part in the accuracy, bunting, pitching challenges, as well as the
home run derby.
The South — which has won 15 of
the last 18 decisions in this meeting —
now holds a 35-22-1 record all-time over
the North All-Stars. The series ﬁrst
started in 1993. Roque was one of just
three Class A players to take part in the
game, joining Christy from Buffalo and
Coles from Greenbrier West.
Along with the all-star festivities 155
awards were presented, including the
West Virginia Sports Writers Association State Player of the Year Award,
which was won by Hurricane junior
Katie Adams.

Pomeroy Library unveils new facility
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — In the midst
of graduation ceremonies,
alumni activities, youth league
games and fundraisers, the
renovations on the Pomeroy
Library were completed and
an open house and ribboncutting ceremony was held to
celebrate.
The well-attended celebration
gave residents of Meigs County
the opportunity to tour the
newly completed facility
with live music playing in the
background.
Kristi L. Eblin, director of
the Meigs County District
Public Library, thanked
everyone for their patience
with the remodeling project,
including staff and patrons.
“The working conditions
you have been subject to over
the last nine months have not
been ideal, but the complaints
have been few,” Eblin said of
the staff. “Your work space
has been moved more times
than I can count, but you have
handled this upheaval with
a positive attitude. I often
hear from members of the
community about how the
library is such a welcoming
place and that the staff is so
friendly and helpful. I can
attest to that fact; you all are
amazing.”
She went on to thank the
patrons and said, “We hope it
was worth the wait.”
Eblin also praised those
involved in the 2016 Pomeroy
Library Renovation Project,
from the architects who
designed the project to
contractors who saw the
remodeling through to its
completion.
“We thank you for the
pride you took in a job well
done,” she said. “I know it
was difﬁcult to work around
our patrons and staff at
times, while the facilities
remained open (referring to
the contractors), but your
professionalism and concern
for our mission are greatly
appreciated. You will be
missed.”
Eblin gave some background
into the role of the board of
trustees in this project. She
explained that in 2011, with
the assistance of a facilitator
from the State Library of
Ohio, a committee of several
members of the community,
library board members and
staff worked to develop a
strategic plan for library service
in Meigs County.
The library system in the
county was still in recovery
mode from devastating
funding cuts in 2009, but due
to the efforts of the board of
trustees, whom she described
as “a very ﬁscally conservative
and responsible group,” the
libraries survived.
Measures were taken to
reduce hours of operation and
staff positions, while use of the
facility continued and demand
for services increased. Despite
the tight budget, the board of
trustees continued to make a
transfer into the building fund
as they had done for over 22
years, saving money to improve
the facilities when the time was
conducive.
Without a stable source of
operating revenue, the board
felt it would not be responsible
to build bigger buildings, so
it wasn’t until the ﬁrst-ever
operating levy for library
service in Meigs County was
passed in March 2012 that
expansion of the library was
considered viable.
Now with a stable source of
operating revenue for at least
the next several years, the
board reviewed the progress
on the strategic plan in July

An open house and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was at the Pomeroy Library in
late May.

2013 and felt that expected
outcomes, with the exception
of those that related to
facilities, had been met. A
building committee was then
formed to oversee plans for the
renovation and addition to the
Pomeroy Library.
“The library you see today is
a result of the efforts of all of
those people over all of those
years,” Eblin said. “It is the
legacy of our library board of
trustees.”
Now that the Pomeroy
Library renovations are
completed, the staff is reaching
out to the community to
encourage residents to take
advantage of the new facility
and the programs it offers.
With additional space, they are
able to provide more events
and resources than before.
The well-designed children’s
area allows space for numerous
activities year-round.
Eblin said it was her desire
for every citizen of Meigs
County to know what is
available to them in the new
building.

Kids turn a plastic dinosaur into a succulent planter at one of the library’s teen
programs.
One of the many special things about
Storytime at the Pomeroy Library, is
Lilly, the ‘fairy godmother.’ Lilly visits
the library on special occasions and
reads to the children from her special
chair.

“When you leave the
library, pass the word along to
neighbors, family and friends.
Tell them about this wonderful
facility which is so close to
home,” she said. “It’s your
library. May it always help to
educate, entertain and enrich
the lives of you and your
children.”

The children were enthralled with Lilly, the library’s fairy godmother, during
Storytime.
