said Gallia County
Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Eric R. Mulford.
Less than a week after
the Scioto County robbery, Barry began his
convenience story/gas
station robbery spree.
According to Gallia County
Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, Barry
robbed the Speedway store
June 8 on Jackson Pike. Two
days later, he robbed Bladen
Landing on Ohio 7 South in
Ohio Township (near Crown
City), followed by another
robbery June 12 of Bodimer’s
Grocery on Jackson Pike. One
June 18, Barry again robbed
the Speedway store on Jackson
Pike, this time demanding

money and cigarettes.
According to previously published stories in the Tribune,
employees reported to police
that the suspect indicated he
had a weapon, but kept his
hand under a red sweatshirt
during the robberies. They also
indicated that the robber was
wearing a dark bandana and a
baseball cap.
“This Defendant and his
accomplice had the entire Gallia County business community
and the hardworking employees that run the day-to-day
operations of those businesses
on edge and constantly looking behind their backs,” Gallia
County Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Britt T. Wiseman
said. “Clerks and attendants

were looking at and analyzing
every patron more closely and
were trying to keep themselves
safe during an uncertain time
prior to this defendant and his
accomplice being apprehended.
For this reason, the joint efforts
of the Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and all
local law enforcement agencies
was critical. We had to employ
an all-hands-on-deck approach.”
In cooperation with the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office, Gallia County deputies arrested
Barry and Mark J. Chafin, also
of Gallipolis, June 19 at a home
in Clay Township. Two females
were also taken in custody at
the time and later released.

Give-a-Book
program enters
its ninth year
Staff Report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

RACINE —The Southern Give-a-Book Campaign entered its ninth year this year.
“It’s been nine years, but it doesn’t seem like it,”
Southern Federal Programs director Scott Wolfe
in reference to the title programs’ Christmas book
gift program. “I wanted to do something for the
kids at Christmas and thanks to Federal Programs
secretary Vicki Northup, (and) we came up with
the idea about giving kids a book.”
Each year, Wolfe and Northup give each child
grades Pre-K to 8th grade a book. To date nearly
5,700 books have gone to Southern Elementary
students. In earlier years, only K to 4 received a
book, but now all elementary students get a book.
“What better way to give something back to the
kids than the gift of reading?” Wolfe said.

Each year Southern Federal Programs director Scott Wolfe
gives each child grades Pre-K to 8th grade a book. To date
nearly 5,700 books have gone to Southern Elementary
students over the past nine years. Here Wolfe is shown passing
out books to the Kindergarten class, while in the inset Wolfe
poses with Title teacher Jody Norris, who has a large version
of the book that the kids received. Norris turned the “give-abook” activity into a learning moment as she read from the
big-book and had the students follow along in their new books.

hospitals and pain clinics. Employees falsified
logs to make it look as if
the so-called clean rooms
had been disinfected.
Federal prosecutors
leveled those allegations
in bringing charges
Wednesday against
14 former owners or
employees of a Massachusetts pharmacy
in connection with a
nationwide meningitis
outbreak that killed 64
people.
U.S. Attorney Carmen
Ortiz called it the biggest criminal case ever
brought in the U.S. over
contaminated medicine.
The 2012 outbreak
was traced to tainted
drug injections manufactured by the now-closed
New England Compounding Pharmacy of
Framingham.
Barry Cadden, a cofounder of the business,
and Glenn Adam Chin, a
supervisory pharmacist,

were slapped with the
most serious charges,
accused in the racketeering indictment of
causing the deaths of 25
patients in seven states
by acting with “wanton
and willful disregard” of
the risks.
The other defendants
were charged with such
crimes as fraud and
interstate sale of adulterated drugs.
Ortiz said NECC was
“filthy” and failed to
comply with even basic
health standards, and
employees knew it.
“Production and profit
were prioritized over
safety,” she said.
More than 750 people
in 20 states fell ill —
about half of them with
a rare fungal form of
meningitis, the rest with
joint or spinal infections
— after getting steroid
injections, mostly for
back pain. Sixty-four
died.

Woodward writes about U.S. role in WWI
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. —
The American Army and the
First World War, the most
recent book written by Dr.
David R. Woodward, Emeritus
Professor of History at Marshall University, is the latest
addition to Cambridge University Press’ Armies of the Great
War series.
The series is published in
honor of the war’s centenary.
And, this volume by Woodward, his second book since
retiring in 2006, has been
described as the first truly
holistic account of the U.S.’s
role on the battlefields of

Europe in 1917-1918 because
of its examination of social,
political and economic factors.
Written for both history buffs
and academics, this volume
also approaches American
participation from a global
perspective and delves into the
personal experiences of the soldiers themselves.
Through firsthand accounts
from their diaries, letters and
memoirs, Woodward depicts the
doughboys’ first encounters with
regimented military life and their
experience both behind and in
the trenches of the world’s first
truly modern war.

Here is an example of an
excerpt taken from a letter written by Private Henry L. Henderson, Company K, 358th Infantry
Regiment, 90th Division:
“Digging trenches at that
time seemed to be a total loss
because the temperature was
16 below zero and the ground
was frozen so hard that you
could spend hours trying to
drive an iron stake into it …
it was so cold that they established a system where by each
man would work for fifteen
minutes then stand by the fire
for the same length of time,
you couldn’t stand it any longer

and even then some ears, toes
or fingers were frozen.”
Woodward was a professor of
Modern European and Russian
history and his work focused
on World War I and its diplomatic and military relations. He
retired in 2006 after spending
41 years in the classroom, 36 of
them at Marshall.
The other book written by
Woodward since he retired is
his World War I Almanac, a
detailed, day-by-day chronology of the events and people
involved in World War I, as
part of Facts on File’s Almanacs of American Wars series.

It was published in 2009.
The American Army and the
First World War is a 481-page
paperback and is available at
Empire Books in downtown
Huntington and through Amazon.com. Woodward said it
costs $29.99 at Empire and
$26.99, plus shipping costs, if
ordered through Amazon.
“This reflects about three
years of work,” Woodward said.
“I spent a lot of time on it and I
enjoyed doing it. It’s really the
culmination of my work on the
First World War. Of course, I’ve
been working in that area for
around 35 years.”

US, Cuba patch torn relations in historic accord
By Julie Pace
and Matthew Lee
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
President Barack Obama
abruptly announced the
U.S. is re-establishing longbroken diplomatic relations
with Cuba on Wednesday,
declaring an end to America’s “outdated approach” to
the communist island in a
historic shift aimed at ending a half-century of Cold
War enmity.
“These 50 years have
shown that isolation has
not worked,” Obama said
in remarks from the White
House. “It’s time for a new
approach.”
As Obama spoke
to Americans, Cuban
President Raul Castro
addressed his own nation
from Havana, where bells
pealed and schoolchildren
interrupted their lessons
to mark the historic news.
Castro said that while the

two countries still have
profound differences in
areas such as human rights
and foreign policy, they
must learn “the art of living together in a civilized
manner.”
Wednesday’s announcement followed more than a
year of secret talks between
the U.S. and Cuba, including clandestine meetings
in Canada and the Vatican
and personal involvement from Pope Francis.
Setting the stage for the
diplomatic breakthrough,
Cuba released American
Alan Gross, who had been
imprisoned for five years,
and a Cuban who had spied
for the U.S. In exchange,
three Cubans jailed in
Florida were released by
the U.S.
Gross spoke with Obama
from the plane carrying
him home, then met with
Secretary of State John
Kerry on the ground and
later appeared before Wash-

ington reporters.
“This is game changing,” Gross declared in
brief, emotional remarks.
He flashed a broad grin
with missing teeth — lost
during his imprisonment
— after taking an admiring glance at the American
flags posted behind him
and taking note that his
release came on the first
day of Hanukkah.
In Havana, Carlos Gonzalez, a 32-year-old information technology specialist,
spoke for many in calling the
announcement “a shot of
oxygen, a wish come true.”
“It is an advance that will
open the road to a better
future for the two countries,” he said.
Obama’s plans are
sweeping: He aims to
expand economic ties with
Cuba, open an embassy in
Havana, send high-ranking
U.S. officials to visit and
review Cuba’s designation
as a state sponsor of terror-

The best presents won’t fit under the tree...

ism. The U.S. also is easing
restrictions on travel to
Cuba, including for family
visits, official U.S. government business and educational activities. But tourist
travel remains banned.
Obama’s action relied
on his own executive
authority, and drew instant
criticism from some in
Congress. He cannot unilaterally end the longstanding
U.S. economic embargo on
Cuba, which was passed
by Congress and would
require action from lawmakers to overturn.
Half a century ago, the
U.S. recognized Fidel Castro’s new government soon
after his rebels took power
from dictator Fulgencio
Batista in 1959. But before

THEIR VIEW

Gruber should
apologize for
actions, not words
Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber is awesome.
Americans suffering from Obamacare don’t owe
him forgiveness for his words. We owe him gratitude. Sometimes it is not the thought that counts
most. It is the result.
Gruber spent much of a four-hour congressional
hearing Tuesday delivering a dramatic, unconditional apology that will go down in history. The
MIT economist regrets insulting others to make
himself look smarter. He apologized for calling
Americans stupid during multiple lectures he
never expected would show up on YouTube. He is
sorry for being “arrogant” and “glib.” He is sorry
for boasting about an intentional “lack of transparency” to obscure the true toll Obamacare would
take on some Americans. He apologized for revealing that few would have accepted the law, had they
known the truth. He really took one for the old
team.
Dr. Gruber, you did not hurt our feelings with
any of those lectures. You told us that which we
needed to know. You acted like a true friend,
whether you knew it or not, warning us we had
unwisely placed trust in a lie.
It is easy to believe Gruber regrets his statements. Those MIT cocktail parties can’t be much
fun these days. Even some of Obamacare’s biggest
supporters believe Gruber may have ushered in
the ultimate demise of the law as a Christmas gift
for its opponents. The law faces a Supreme Court
challenge, a 2015 Republican majority in both
chambers of Congress and the looming departure
of its namesake, President Barack Obama, in just
two years. To survive, the Affordable Care Act
needs public support — not sabotage from a man
who helped design it.
As Rep. Elija E. Cummings, D-Md., put it:
“Man, you did a great job. You wrapped it up with
a bow.”
Perhaps, but only time will tell the long-term
effects of Gruber’s bombshells.
Though Obamacare detractors don’t need an
apology for what Gruber said, they might welcome one for what he did. Rather than apologize
for revealing the truth, Gruber should atone for
participating in public deception. He should tell
Americans he is sorry for helping the president
and congressional Democrats pass a law with an
intentional “lack of transparency.”
“Are you stupid?” asked House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., while interrogating Gruber.
“I don’t think so, no,” said Gruber, who holds a
Ph.D. in economics from Harvard.
“So you’re a smart man who said some, as
the ranking member said, ‘some really stupid
things,’?” Issa said.
“You did say in the video we played that if
people knew the whole truth, they wouldn’t have
voted for it.”
The congressman went on to illustrate how the
Affordable Care Act did nothing to lower the cost
of medical care but merely increased burdens on
some Americans to reduce them for others. The
whole thing, listening to Issa grill Gruber, is a
shell game of economic redistribution.
In other words, Gruber helped design a program
that would take health care benefits from insured
Americans and give them to lower-income people
who would vote for Democrats who supported the
transfer. The program didn’t create more doctors,
nurses, clinics, hospitals and drugs. It didn’t lower
health care costs in the least. It chose winners and
losers. It took from some and gave to others.
Gruber should apologize, but not for what he
said. He should apologize for helping design such
an unfair, deceptive scheme.

White Falcons edge Eastern, 57-56
By Alex Hawley

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports

Wahama sophomore Philip Hoffman (20) drives past Eastern senior Christian
Speelman, during the White Falcons’ 57-56 victory at EHS, on Tuesday.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio —
Sometimes that’s just the way the
ball bounces.
The Eastern boys basketball
team led by one with less than
10 seconds remaining in Tuesday
night’s Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division matchup with
visiting Wahama. White Falcons
junior Kaileb Sheets missed his
first attempt to give WHS the
lead, but Sheets hauled in his own
rebound and made a 15-footer to
give the Red and White the 57-56
victory.
“This was a good test for us,”
Wahama head coach Ron Bradley
said. “I told them I wasn’t proud

of our performance, but I was
proud of their guts and how they
hung in there and pulled it out at
the end.”
The White Falcons (1-0, 1-0
TVC Hocking) made 9-of-17 shots
from the field in the opening quarter and led 22-15 at the end of the
first. Wahama’s touch went cold in
the second canto however and the
Red and White missed their first
eight shot attempts.
The Eagles (1-3, 1-2) began the
second with an 9-0 run that gave
EHS the 24-22 lead 3:30 into the
second. Both teams scored nine
points of the remainder of the half
and EHS took a 33-31 lead into
halftime. All nine of Wahama’s
second quarter points were
scored by senior Hunter Rose.

Wahama began the second half
with a 6:00, 8-to-2 run, but Eastern scored five of the next seven
points to pull within one point
headed into the finale.
The Eagles hit 6-of-15 from the
field and 4-of-5 from the free throw
line in the fourth quarter as they
built a 56-53 lead with 42 seconds
remaining in regulation. Rose hit
a pair of free throws with 21 seconds left, pulling Wahama within
one point. The White Falcons
forced a turnover on the ensuing
inbound play and they were able
to take the lead on Sheets’ putback
basket. Eastern failed to convert
on a last second shot and Wahama
claimed the 57-56 win.

Rebels fend off Southern, 58-50
By Bryan Walters

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — A
battle until the very end.
After 10 ties and six lead changes throughout the contest, the
South Gallia boys basketball team
ultimately managed to put away
visiting Southern Tuesday night
with a 58-50 victory in a Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division
matchup in Gallia County.
The Rebels (4-1, 3-0 TVC Hocking) led the final 10:06 of regulation, but the hosts never managed
to claim more than two-possession
lead over the Tornadoes (2-2, 1-2)
until seven seconds remained in
the fourth. Brayden Greer sealed
the deal with a pair of free throws
that gave the Red and Gold a 58-50
edge — which proved to be the
largest lead of the night.
SHS stormed out to an early
10-6 lead — its largest of the night
— less than six minutes into the
game, but the Rebels answered
with a 4-0 spurt over the final 2:12
of the period to knot things up at
10-all after eight minutes of play.
South Gallia never trailed in the
second canto as the hosts made a
10-4 surge to claim its largest first
half lead at 20-14 with 3:29 remaining, but the Purple and Gold countered with six straight points to tie
things up at 20 with 1:58 left.
Both teams traded baskets out
to 22-all, but the Rebels closed the
half with a small 4-0 run — which
included a contested Greer layup
just before the buzzer — that
allowed them to take a 26-22 edge
into the break.
Southern owned an 18-16 advantage in rebounding at the half,
which included a 10-5 edge on the
offensive glass. The guests also
committed 12 turnovers in the
opening 16 minutes, compared to
nine by SGHS.
The Rebels were 9-of-25 from the

field for 36 percent in the first half,
including a 1-of-4 effort from threepoint range for 25 percent. SHS,
conversely, was 9-of-30 overall for
30 percent, including a 2-of-9 effort
from behind the arc for 22 percent.
The third quarter provided the
most intrigue as both teams fought
through five lead changes and two
ties, with neither squad leading
by more than four points. The
Tornadoes opened up with a 10-3
charge to take its biggest lead of
the half at 32-29 with 3:46 remaining, but SGHS answered with a
5-1 run over the next 38 seconds
to reclaim the lead at 34-33.
Southern took its final lead of
the night on a Tristen Wolfe jumper at the 2:19 mark for a 35-34
edge, but Greer answered with a
trifecta 13 seconds later — which
ultimately gave the hosts a permanent lead. Devin Lucas added a
long jumper with 1:01 remaining
to give the Rebels a 39-35 cushion
headed into the finale.
The Purple and Gold closed to
within 43-42 with 4:35 remaining and were down 52-50 with 40
seconds left, but ultimately never
came closer the rest of the way.
Greer scored the final seven points
for South Gallia in the last 53 seconds of regulation.
The Rebels outrebounded SHS
by a slim 33-31 overall margin,
but the guests claimed a 15-9 edge
on the offensive glass. SGHS also
committed 20 turnovers in the
triumph, compared to 18 by the
Tornadoes.
South Gallia connected on 17-of43 field goal attempts for 40 percent, including a 3-of-7 effort from
three-point range for 43 percent.
The hosts were also 21-of-29 at the
free throw line for 72 percent.
Greer — who had only five
points in the middle quarters —
led the Rebels with 21 points, followed by Landon Hutchinson with
14 points and Devin Lucas with

12 markers. Cory Rhodes, Dustin
Hornsby and Bruce Rutt each contributed three points, while Kane
Hutchinson rounded things out
with two markers.
Southern sank 20-of-56 shot
attempts for 36 percent, including
a 3-of-16 effort from behind the arc
for 19 percent. The guests were
also 7-of-18 at the charity stripe
for 39 percent.
Tristen Wolfe led the Tornadoes
with a game-high 23 points, 16 of
which came after halftime. Jack
Lemley was next with 14 points,
while Bradley McCoy and Dylan
Smith respectively rounded out
the scoring with 10 points and
three points.
South Gallia improved to 3-0 at
home, while the Tornadoes fell to
1-2 in games outside of Racine.

Tigers claw past GAHS for first win
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

IRONTON, Ohio — It’s
not how you start something, but rather how you
finish it.
The Gallia Academy boys
basketball team held a lead
after eight minutes of play,
but host Ironton went on a
44-28 run the rest of the way
en route to claiming its first
win of the season Tuesday
night following a 54-40 decision in a non-conference
matchup in Lawrence
County.
The Blue Devils (1-4) fell
behind 10-0 early on, but the
guests rallied with a 12-0
charge to close the opening
canto with a 12-10 advantage. Wes Jarrell capped a
13-0 run with a free throw
early in the second, but
the Fighting Tigers (1-2)
countered with a 6-2 spurt
to take a permanent lead at
16-15 with three minutes
remaining in the half.
IHS closed the second
period with a 5-0 run to cap
an 11-3 surge, which allowed
the hosts to take a 21-15
lead into halftime.
The Tigers started the second half with eight consecutive points for a 29-15 edge
at the 4:29 mark, but GAHS
answered with an 8-2 run to
close to within 31-23 headed
into the finale.
Gallia Academy, however,
was never closer as Ironton
went on a 9-3 run to start
the fourth, making it a 40-27
contest with just under four

minutes remaining. IHS
closed regulation with a
small 14-13 spurt to wrap up
the 14-point triumph.
Tristan Cox — who
poured in a game-high 29
points — netted two free
throws with 54 seconds
left in regulation, giving
the Orange and Black their
largest lead of the night at
50-35.
The Blue Devils connected on 16-of-44 field goal
attempts for 36 percent,
including a 5-of-17 effort
from three-point range for
29 percent. The guests committed 18 turnovers and
outrebounded Ironton by a
40-31 overall margin, including a 17-14 edge on the
offensive glass.
Alex White led GAHS
with 14 points, followed by
Kole Carter with six points
and Wes Jarrell with five
markers. Devin Henry was
next with four points, while
Payton Halley chipped in
three markers.
Drew VanSickle, Trevor
McNeal and Miles Cornwell
rounded out the scoring
with two points apiece. The
Blue Devils were 3-of-11
at the free throw line for
27 percent. Jarrell led the
guests with six rebounds,
two assists and two steals.
Ironton sank 22-of-55 shot
attempts for 40 percent,
including a 0-for-7 effort
from behind the arc. The
hosts also committed eight
turnovers and went 10-of-14
at the charity stripe for 71
percent.

decide a game.
The Hannan boys basketball team
was outscored 16-to-6 in the third
quarter of Monday night’s 59-49 loss
to host Grace Christian.
The Wildcats (2-2) held a 13-to-12

halftime. The Soldiers (1-4) stormed
back to take the 42-35 lead after three

Tanner Price followed Cox
with seven points, while
Desmond Young and Joe

six markers to the winning
cause. Phillip Kratzenberg

Speelman with two each.
Daschle Facemyer led the

The Eagles return to

they travel to Wellston.
Eastern defeated WHS
69-50 in last season’s
meeting at EHS.
“There’s only one way
to go and that’s up,” Eastern head coach Jeremy
Hill said. “We’re getting

better as a ball club, but
we have to learn how to
win. We’re learning how
to play the game, we’re
getting better and we still
need to improve on some
aspects of the game, but
there’s one aspect of the
game that right now we
don’t know how to do.
That’s finish a game and
win it. As soon as we
learn how to win a game
we’re gonna put some w’s
in the win column.

Wahama returns to the
court Friday night when
the White Falcons face
Southern in Racine. The
Tornadoes and White
Falcons split last season
with each team defending
home court.
“I promise you we’re
going to have to play better
Friday night. Southern’s a
quality team and there well
coached,” Bradley said.
