See DABONI | 3A Clements found not guilty in Gallia court By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A Circleville man was found not guilty Thursday of attempted burglary, a third-degree felony. Clements Richard Clements Jr., 38, of Circleville, was charged with attempted burglary in February. According to Gallia County Court of Common Pleas records, the court and jury heard testimony and reviewed evidence at roughly 5:30 p.m. Thursday. At nearly 8 p.m., the jury returned to the courtroom to deliver a verdict of not guilty. Clements was then ordered to be released from custody. Britt Wiseman represented the state as a Gallia County assistant prosecutor and Barbara Wallen represented Clements’ defense. According to previous information gathered by the Tribune, Clements was the subject of a pair of investigations in regard to a Circle Drive residence in late January and early February. Reportedly, firearms had allegedly went missing from the residence as well as ammunition and other items. Surveillance cameras were deployed by deputies at the site of the incidents. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, the homeowner of the residence returned Feb. 6 to find an unknown vehicle in his driveway and spotted man coming around the corner. Supposedly, the homeowner confronted the man. The unknown individual gave a brief excuse before allegedly fleeing on foot. The individual was unable to drive away as the homeowner had parked behind another vehicle. Deputies then located Clements based on information they had allegedly gleaned from social media and took him into custody after searching an area on State Route 141. Surveillance footage was reviewed by law enforcement and witness statements taken in regards to the case. Parties supporting Clements’ not guilty finding told the Tribune Clements had approached a home looking for work around the residence and was not there to burglarize it.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Board of Commissioners are starting to move forward with the Rutland Wastewater System Improvement Project. The resolution is a notable step in the design and construction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ efforts in the Village of Rutland. The resolution (Wastewater System Improvement Project, Section 594) creates a working relationship between the Meigs County government and the Corps of Engineers, obligates the county to provide the necessary lands and easements to the Corps and gives the commissioners responsibility to acquire any needed property not already in county hands. Meigs will pay a percentage of the total cost and be responsible for upkeep at the project’s conclusion. Other business brought before the board included an Ohio Department of Transportation contract for winter preparations. Sara Walpole presented the measure on behalf of the county engineers, which commits Meigs County to a 300-ton purchase of sodium chloride, better known as road salt, for use in local jurisdiction. At least 90 percent of that amount must originate with a DOT appointed supplier. The agreement, read in full and discussed during the meeting, is effective through Mar. 31, 2017. County resident Anthony Bentz sought guidance on steps to create a food processing plant in the area.

(AP) — News reports say a social worker at Southside Elementary School in War is facing multiple counts of sexual abuse. McDowell County Sheriff Martin West said Thursday that Kenneth H. Brown of War was arrested after receiving a complaint from the school. He is charged with three counts of sexual abuse first degree, one count of first-degree sexual assault, and three counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, custodian or person in position of trust. It is unclear whether he has an attorney. McDowell County Schools superintendent Nelson Spencer tells WOAY-TV that Brown was fired from his position a few weeks ago. The sheriff’s department would not say whether the incidents Brown is being accused of occurred at the school. Brown was jailed on $100,000 bond.

Former Coolfont resort going up for auction No arrests, few answers By Andrew WelshHuggins Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two weeks have passed since the bodies of eight family members were found on April 22 at four different homes in Ohio. No arrests have been made, and a motive for the Pike County killings remains unclear. Autopsies show the victims were shot, some of them multiple times. Here’s a look at the killings and what’s known: Discovery At 7:49 a.m. on April 22, a breathless woman calls 911 saying two people appear dead in a home: “There’s blood all over the house.” Minutes later, a sheriff’s deputy requests “multiple ambulances due to multiple people down at multiple residences.” Seven bodies are discovered in three houses. At 1:26 p.m., another 911 call comes in with the report of an eighth body: “All that stuff that’s on the news. I just found my cousin with a gunshot wound.” Victims Members of the Rhoden family found shot to death: 40-yearold Christopher Rhoden; his ex-wife, 37-year-old Dana Rhoden; their three children, 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 16-year-old Christopher Jr., and 19-year-old Hanna; Frankie Rhoden’s fiancée, 20-yearold Hannah Gilley; Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, 44-yearold Kenneth Rhoden; and 38-year-old Gary Rhoden, a cousin. �Ăůů�ƵƐ�ĨŽƌ�LJŽƵƌ�� ĞƋƵŝƉŵĞŶƚ�Θ�ƐƵƉƉůŝĞƐ͊� ϰϰϲͲϬϬϬϳ� ϳϬ�WŝŶĞ�^ƚƌĞĞƚ� 60626744 OBITUARY Sunday Times-Sentinel AP photo Lt. Michael Preston of the Ross County, Ohio, sheriff’s office, speaks to reporters on Union Hill Road after bodies of eight family members were found that day at four homes in Pike County, Ohio. The victims were shot, some multiple times, but no arrests were made in the two weeks after the killings and the motive remains unclear. Hanna Rhoden’s 4-dayold baby girl was found unharmed beside her; another baby and a young child were also unharmed. 20 other sheriff’s offices and Piketon police are assisting. The FBI and the DEA are providing some assistance on an as-needed basis. Shootings The Hamilton County coroner says one victim was shot once, with others sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, including two victims shot five times and one victim shot nine times. The report didn’t specify which victim had which number of wounds. The coroner’s office says some victims showed signs of soft tissue bruising, consistent with the first 911 caller’s description of the victims having been beaten. A sheriff’s department report says a large amount of blood was found in the living room of the house where the first two victims were found; their bodies were located in a back bedroom. Theories Numerous theories on a motive abound, including a family rift, a revenge killing by outsiders or something related to drugs. DeWine has confirmed the presence of large marijuana growing operations at three of the four crime scenes. In 2012, DeWine said the seizure of 1,200 marijuana plants in Pike County was related to Mexican cartel activity. He has since downplayed the comment, but it led to speculation that the slayings were part of a drug rivalry. Other law enforcement officials familiar with the region say they doubt the cartel connection, saying there was no evidence of it in past years. Investigation Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has assigned multiple officers with the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation to work alongside the Pike County Sheriff’s Office.

On Tuesday, authorities towed vehicles from the said. “As those graduates look toward their future professional and personal commitments, it is my hope that we have gifted them not only with educational competencies, but also with the passion to being sensitive to the voids and needs of this properties as part of the investigation. Funerals The victims were buried in three separate services. The first, for Gary Rhoden, was held in his hometown of South Shore, Kentucky, on April 28. The second, for Hannah Gilley, the fiancée of Frankie Rhoden, was held on April 30, in Otway, Ohio. The third, for the remaining six victims, was held at Dry Run Church of Christ church in West Portsmouth on May 2, with hundreds in attendance. Suspects Officials haven’t announced suspects or even named “persons of interest.” That’s unusual when it comes to mass killings, in which the perpetrator is often quickly identified. The last time eight people were shot to death in Ohio was in 2011 near Akron. The killer targeted his girlfriend and her relatives and neighbors and fatally shot seven people before killing himself. In the Piketon case, the lack of arrests doesn’t mean authorities don’t have suspects. University of Dayton criminal law professor Thomas Hagel said, “The fact they have not run out and arrested someone right way is not unusual. They’re still building their case.” world — — then answering the opportunity to be of use in addressing those voids and needs for many decades to come.” Jessica Patterson is a communications specialist with the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College. �NEWS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, May 8, 2016 3A Ohio Valley Bank names 2016 4H scholars Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — Kassidy Barrett, Eric Blevins, Erin Brewster, Ashley Buchanan, Katherine Deem, and Chiauna Spaulding were named the recipients of the 2016 Ohio Valley Bank 4-H Scholarship.

There are 237 days left in the year. This is Mother’s Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 8, 1846, the first major battle of the Mexican-American War was fought at Palo Alto, Texas; U.S. forces led by Gen. Zachary Taylor were able to beat back Mexican forces. On this date: In 1541, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto reached the Mississippi River. In 1794, Antoine Lavoisier, the father of modern chemistry, was executed on the guillotine during France’s Reign of Terror. In 1884, the 33rd president of the United States, Harry S. Truman, was born in Lamar, Missouri. In 1886, Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton began selling the original version of Coca-Cola, which he’d invented. In 1915, Regret became the first filly to win the Kentucky Derby. In 1921, Sweden’s Parliament voted to abolish the death penalty. In 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced on radio that Nazi Germany’s forces had surrendered, and that “the flags of freedom fly all over Europe.” In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon was shoved, stoned, booed and spat upon by anti-American protesters in Lima, Peru. In 1962, the musical comedy “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” opened on Broadway. In 1973, militant American Indians who’d held the South Dakota hamlet of Wounded Knee for ten weeks surrendered. In 1984, the Soviet Union announced it would boycott the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1996, South Africa took another step from apartheid to democracy by adopting a constitution that guaranteed equal rights for blacks and whites. Ten years ago: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (mahk-MOOD’ ah-muh-DEE’-neh-zhahd) wrote to President George W. Bush, proposing “new solutions” to their differences in the first letter from an Iranian head of state to an American president in 27 years. Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Costa Rican President Oscar Arias was sworn in to another term of office.

Five years ago: Relations between Egypt’s Muslims and Christians reached a new low after overnight riots left 12 people dead and a church burned. Fox television announced that Paula Abdul would be one of the judges on “The X Factor,” reuniting her with former “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell (however, Abdul’s stint did not last beyond the premiere season of the new talent show). One year ago: President Barack Obama visited Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, where he made a pitch for a Trans-Pacific agreement that would open up commerce among the U.S. and 11 other Pacific Rim countries. A Pakistani army helicopter crashed on its way to an inauguration at a resort in the country’s north, killing four foreigners ambassadors from the Philippines and Norway, as well as the wives of the ambassadors from Malaysia and Indonesia and a three-member crew.

And yet those critics just won’t give Ex-Im actually takes in more money than it costs to run, which then helps up. They realized that in order for Ex-Im to approve larger transitions pay down our national deficit. Those same critics ignored the fact that create the most American jobs, it needed a full quorum of members on its board of directors. Since the bank is currently one member short, refusing to confirm the nominee for that slot could effectively hamstring Ex-Im’s ability to create jobs. The fringe group pursuing this gridlock tactic doesn’t dispute the qualifications of Mark McWatters, a Republican nominated by the White House. Opponents don’t dispute his prior experience in finance or his expertise as a former law professor. They acknowledge that he was previously unanimously confirmed by the Senate to the National Credit Union Administration Board, where he has served with distinction. They have refused to act on the nomination out of pure power politics – putting political gain ahead of jobs and the economy. Unless McWatters is confirmed soon, commercial airplane sales are in jeopardy. These sales directly affect the bottom line of every Ohio company that has a hand in building those airplanes. And there will be more deals that languish or go to foreign competitors after that. It is a failure of leadership and nothing more. The time has come for the Senate to do its job so that the Ex-Im Bank can do its job. I urge Portman and Brown to demand an up or down vote on this nomination today.

John Kasich signed a bill into law on Friday that allows for a sales-tax holiday from Aug. 5-7. The measure is aimed at helping back-toschool shoppers cut the cost of clothing and school supplies. The tax-exempt period applies to clothing items that cost $75 or less and to classroom supplies and instructional materials priced at $20 or less. Such items include book bags, textbooks, notebooks and pencils. The legislation follows the popularity of a similar sales-tax holiday held last year. The bill’s supporters say EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM 63° 3-day break from sales tax CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The killing of non-native swans by state wildlife officials to make way for native ones has upset some northeast Ohioans who object to the killing and who say residents weren’t warned. The Repository in Canton reports representatives from Ohio’s Department of Natural Resources killed two non-native mute swans at a bog in Jackson Township last week to make way for native trumpeter swans. State wildlife officials say they’ve been trying to decrease the mute swan population since at least 2006 and stepped up efforts two years ago. They say the invasive swans are known for aggression and chasing away native birds. Trumpeter swans are considered a threatened species. But residents near Jackson Bog say the mute swans weren’t customers also buy other nonexempt goods while shopping during the holiday period. The governor’s office says the legislation was among six bills that Kasich signed on Friday. Charleston 67/51 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Lady Eagles soar to title By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com NELSONVILLE, Ohio — Now that is how you soar past the competition. In amassing 13 championships and four runner-ups in the 17 events, the Eastern High School girls track and field team racked up a whopping 205 points — easily capturing the team title at Thursday’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division championship meet at Boston Field in Nelsonville. That’s correct. The 13 titles left only four events not won by Eastern, which Waterford won three, while Wahama sophomore Lizzy Mullins muscled a 13.25-second time to take the 100m dash. That earned Mullins the 2016 title of “TVC-Hocking Fastest Woman”. The Eagles, in winning the meet by almost 100 points, finished first AND second in two events — the 400m dash and discus throw. Waterford was second to Eastern with 108.33 points, while Belpre was third with 55 and Trimble fourth with 44. Wahama — which recorded a pair of runner-ups — had 40 points, as Southern scored 33. Federal Hocking had 24.33 points, and Miller a mere three-and-a-third. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama junior Rebekah Roach clears an obstacle during the 100m hurdles event held April 14 at OVB Track and Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Of all the Eagle performances, none was better than that of junior Alia Hayes in the discus. That’s because Hayes heaved for 127-feet and eight inches, setting a new TVC meet record in the process. Athens’ Anna Pomento previously held the mark, which was 125feet and four inches set six years ago. Eastern junior Sabrina Lauer was the runnerup to Hayes, as Lauer launched the discus a strong 90-feet and seven inches. The third-best throw was 69-6 — not even within 20 or 50-feet of the Eagle top throws. Hayes was a double winner with the shot put championship, as she tossed the shot 34-feet. The Eagles amassed two other double winners — Jessica Cook in the 1,600m (5:50) and 800m runs (2:25) and Kelsey Johnson in the two hurdles races (16.69 in the 100m hurdles and 51.52 in the 300m hurdles). Eastern’s Laura Pullins posted a triple triumph, winning the 400m dash (1:01.47), 200m dash (27.10) and high jump (5-2). Cook was the runnerup in the 400m dash, clocking the one-lap sprint in a minute and three seconds. The Eagles’ other individual win was by Ally Durst in the 3,200m run (12:46). Eastern also captured three of the four relay races, with Waterford winning the 4x400m in four-and-a-half minutes. Durst, Taylor Parker, Kaitlyn Hawk and Rhiannon Morris mustered the 4x800m win, completing the distance in 11:03. The Eagles then swept the sprint relays — claiming the 4x200m (1:50.99) and 4x100m (53.73). The 4x200m was anchored by Pullins, and also included Johnson (second leg), Annalisa Boano (first leg) and Cierra Smeeks (third leg). The senior Johnson anchored the 4x100m, and also included Boano (first leg), Smeeks (third leg) and senior Brittney Leach (second leg). The Eagles’ 4x400m club crossed in 4:37, consisting of Cook (first leg), Leach (second leg), Parker (third leg) and anchor Hannah Hill. Boano (13.31), by a minuscule six onehundredths of a second, was runner-up to Mullins (13.25) in the 100m dash. Speaking of Mullins, she ran the second leg of Wahama’s 4x100m relay, which completed the lap sprint in 55.17 seconds. Rebekah Roach ran the opening leg, Skylar Riffle the third, and Kaleigh Stewart the anchor. Stewart was the runner-up in the 200m dash, running the halflap in 28.58 ticks. Waterford’s wins, individually, were by Brianna Lewis (eightfeet, six-inches) in the pole vault and Bethany Dawson (14-feet, nineinches) in the long jump. Southern junior Kamryn Smith was second to Dawson with a best leap of 14-feet, five and three-quarter inches. A complete list of results can be found on www.baumspage.com.

Separated by a razorthin half point, the River Valley Lady Raiders placed third and the Meigs Lady Marauders finished fourth in a rainsoaked Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division girls track and field championship meet on Wednesday at River Valley High School. The Lady Raiders and Lady Marauders each earned one individual event win, but River Valley took third with 75.5 points while Meigs managed 75. The seven-school TVC-Ohio girls meet was scored on a 10-8-6-4-2-1 point basis, and the halfpoint difference came down to the high jump competition — as River Valley’s Ieva Katkauskaite was tied for sixth to split the full point. River Valley’s victory was by sophomore Sarah Moffett in the 400m dash, as Moffet made it around the one-lap race in a minute and two seconds. Katkauskaite claimed second in that same race, running a 1:03. Meigs freshman Kassidy Betzing bested the field in the long jump, leaping 15-feet, 10 and three-quarter inches for the win.

That quartet consisted of opening leg Gracie Hoffman, second leg Caitlyn Rest, third leg Madison Fields and anchor leg Madison Cremeans. The Lady Marauders completed the distance race in 10 minutes and 57 seconds. The final of the four relays — the 4x400m — was also won by Athens, but the Lady Raiders were the runner-up this time in 4:26. Moffett ran the opening leg and Katkauskaite closed, with Abby Campbell running the second leg and Kenzi Baker the third. The only other Lady Raider runner-up was Brianna McGuire in the discus throw, as she tossed 97-feet and six inches. Athens, on the strength of winning three of the four relays and a sweep of the sprints by Sofie Dabelko, amassed 169 team points to capture the team championship. The Bulldogs also won three of the five field events — Cierra Ellis in the discus, Lindsey Zatta in the pole vault and Alexis Zatta in the high jump. Athens also took two of the three distance events, with Makena Bentley winning the 800m run and Emily Cass the 3,200m run. Alexander, which was the team runner-up with 90 points, swept the two hurdles races with winners Tia Nuzum (100m hurdles) and Jenna Terry (300m hurdles).

In fact, they were within 40 points of Athens — which has dominated the division ever since its entry into the TVC in 2008. The Bulldogs — in fact — broken up by only Vinton County five years ago, have now captured five consecutive Ohio Division championships, and seven of the past eight with Wednesday’s crown. Athens amassed 131 team points — as Nelsonville-York (115), River Valley (92) and Meigs (90) were all close behind. River Valley is concluding only its second academic year of TVC-Ohio competition. Given the rain combined with the eventual unsafe competition conditions for the boys pole vault, that event was postponed until Thursday at Nelsonville-York. Hunter Edwards of Nelsonville-York then proceeded to win that final event. Meigs mustered its only victory in the meet’s first event — the 4x800m relay with a winning time of eight minutes and 40 seconds. The foursome consisted of senior opening leg Jake Swindell, junior second leg James Parsons, freshman third leg Zach Bartrum and junior anchor Dillon Mahr. The Raiders, meanwhile, recorded a pair of wins — both coming back-to-back when the rainfall was at its hardest. Mark Wray — a senior — won the 300m hurdles in 43.62 seconds, while ahawley@civitasmedia.com Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Meigs junior Hunter Parsons runs in the 4x800m relay during a quad-meet at River Valley High School, on April 5. sophomore Kyle Coen captured the championship in the 800m run in 2:08. The Raiders also registered six second-place finishes, including Isaiah Beach in both hurdles races. Beach ran the 110meter high hurdles in 16.04 seconds — a razorthin two one-hundredths of a second behind Owen Bailey of Athens. Beach (43.81) was then the runner-up to Wray (43.62) by 19 onehundredths of a second in the 300m hurdles. Andrew Moffett was the runner-up in the 100m dash, sprinting 11.77 seconds. Moffett and Wray were part of the Raiders’ runner-up 4x200m squad, as the junior Moffett ran the opening leg and Wray the third. They were joined by sophomore Jarrett McCarley on the second leg and senior Dayton Hardway the last. The only other individual seconds for River Valley were Nathaniel Abbott in the 3,200m run and Eric Weber in the discus throw. Abbott amassed an eight-lap time of 10 minutes and 50 seconds, while Weber tossed the disc 126-feet and seven inches. Meigs’ 4x400m relay team was runner-up in 3:41 — consisting of Mahr (second leg), Bartrum (third leg) and Swindell (anchor leg) along with opening leg Nate Hoover. Jared Kennedy, a junior, was runner-up for the Marauders in the long jump at an even 19-feet. In addition to Athens’ 4x400m relay win, the Bulldogs earned individual wins from Bailey (110m hurdles) and Peter Buckley (3,200m run) — as Eric Holzschu swept the 200m and 400m dashes. In the other four field events, Noah Andrews of Nelsonville-York swept the discus and shot put titles, while Seth McPherson of Alexander swept the high jump and long jump. Nelsonville-York also swept the sprint relay races (4x10m and 4x200m). Alexander, which scored 66 points for fifth place, also gained a win from Carter Carr in the 1,600m run. Forrest Hale had all 16 of Wellston’s points, capturing the championship in the 100m dash while finishing third in the 200m dash. Hale ran a “TVC-Ohio fastest man” time in 11.61 seconds (100m dash). Vinton County, which also finished with 16 points, had no event winners. A complete list of results can be found on www.baumspage.com.

The Southern baseball team took two victories on Thursday night in Perry County, defeating Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Miller by counts of 11-1 and 6-3 in five innings apiece. After back-to-back scoreless innings to start the opening game, SHS (11-11, 10-6 TVC Hocking) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third. Miller (4-12, 4-12) cut its deficit in half in the bottom of the third, but Southern plated three runs in the top of the fourth inning. The Tornadoes pushed across six runs in the top of the fifth and then struck out three Falcons in the bottom of the frame, to cap off the 11-1 victory. SHS junior Blake Johnson earned the pitching victory, striking out seven batters, walking five, and surrendering one unearned run on four hits in a complete game effort. Garrett Bartley suffered the loss on the mound for Miller. Clayton Wood doubled once to lead the Purple and Gold at the plate, while Dylan Smith and Wesley Clark both singled once and scored twice. Trey Pickens and Billy Harmon both singled once and scored once, Logan Dunn and Garrett Wolfe both scored twice, while Johnson crossed home plate once. Bartley singled once and scored once to lead the Falcons, while Tylor Newman, Colten Brown and Austin Collins both singled once. In the second game, the Tornadoes — who were the home team on the scoreboard — pushed two runs across in the first inning. Southern’s lead grew to 6-0 with a four-run third frame. MHS attempted to rally back — scoring once in the fourth and twice in the fifth — but it was too little, too late, and Southern claimed the 6-3 win. Wood — who struck out one batter in a complete game effort — earned the pitching victory for the Tornadoes, surrendering three runs on five hits and one walk. Smith led SHS at the plate with two hits and one run scored, while Pickens and Clark both added two singles. Wood singled once and scored once in the win, while Johnson, Harmon and Wolfe each crossed home plate once. Ryan Morgan and Cole Geil paced the Falcons with one hit and one run scored apiece. Bartley, Brown and Seattle Compston each singled once for the Perry County natives, while Collins scored one run. Southern — which finished in fifth in the TVC Hocking — will travel to Eastern for a sectional final, on Tuesday. The Eagles and Tornadoes split the regular season series, with each team winning at home. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

The Raiders racked up nine runs in the opening inning and seven more in the second, staking a seemingly insurmountable 16-0 lead after only two cantos. The two teams traded two runs apiece in the third frame, before the Rebels got one back in the fourth to trail 18-3. Finally, the two clubs exchanged three-spots in their next at-bats, giving River Valley the season sweep over its intracounty neighbors. River Valley vanquished South Gallia 15-1 on April 23. With the win, the Raiders climbed to 10-13, while the Rebels fell to 1-18. The contest was called following the fifth inning with the 10-run mercy rule. Jamie Bainter (2 2/3 innings), Justin Sizemore (two innings) and Lannis Gilbert (one-third inning) all pitched for the Raiders, combining to allow six runs on three hits with 11 walks. Bainter started and earned the win on the mound, allowing only a Cory Bryan single in the third. Sizemore pitched two stanzas, giving up four runs on two hits. Both Bainter and Sizemore struck out four apiece, as the Rebels took advantage of a dozen walks for their half-dozen runs. Bryan was the starting and losing pitcher for the Rebels, giving up 16 runs on 15 hits and five walks with one strikeout. Bryan also singled in the fifth for South Gallia, as Colton Coughenour conked an RBI-single in the fourth. Coughenour had two RBIs for the Rebels, while Bryan and Johnny Sheets each collected one. The Raiders roared for 24 hits, led by Sizemore with four and Bainter, Dillon Ragan and K.C. Collins with three apiece. Gilbert, Austin Ragan, Dustin Barber and Tristan Crouse cranked out two hits apiece, as Brycen Brumfield, Jack Farley and Seth McDonald all finished with one. Sizemore amounted five runs batted in, including a two-run single that made it 9-0. Austin Ragan roped a pair of doubles, as Barber belted a triple to lead off the third. Bainter and Gilbert garnered two RBIs. South Gallia, the 11th-seed in the Division IV sectional tournament, traveled to sixth-seeded Symmes Valley for a semifinal game on Saturday (May 7). River Valley, the 10th-seeded squad in the Division III sectional, ventures to seventh-seeded Fairland for its semifinal on Wednesday (May 11).

Ross Keller signs with Marietta College football By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — It’s only a short distance between Eastern High School and Marietta College, and one Eagle has decided to take the flight. Eastern senior Ross Keller signed his letter of intent on April 22, in the EHS lobby, committing to join the Marietta College football team next season. “This means a lot, I’ve been playing football since I was in first grade and I love football,” Keller said. “Coach Waddle approached me at the end of my senior season, and it meant a lot to me to know that I have an opportunity to keep going. I love Marietta, it’s such a beautiful college and the coaching staff genuinely cares about the players. They want to get better, I can feel that the program is going places and I want to be a part of something like that.” Keller — who was an offensive and defensive starter for three years at EHS — was named to the Associated Press AllDistrict first team as a junior and a senior, while Alex Hawley | OVP Sports On Thursday, April 28 at Eastern High School, senior Ross Keller signed his letter of intent to play football at Marietta College. Sitting in the front row, from left, are Jennifer Keller, Ross Keller and Rodney Keller. Standing in the back row are Roger Keller, Rosemary Keller, Katie Keller and Eagles head coach Pat Newland. earning a special mention spot on the AP AllDistrict squad as a sophomore. Ross is a two-time All-Ohio special mention selection and was named All-TVC as a senior. In Keller’s four years at EHS, the Eagles were a combined 15-25 on the gridiron. For the past two season, Pat Newland has coached the the Green and Gold to a 7-13 mark. “Ross is a very hard worker,” Newland said of Keller. “About halfway through his junior year, he started really realizing what it is to play all play, every play. We’ll miss him both offensively and defensively. When you lose a senior lineman that’s been starting for three years, it’s hard to replace.” At Marietta College, Ross will major in Land and Energy Management. Keller — who currently holds a 3.65 grade point average — will look to play either defensive tackle or offensive guard for the Pioneers. “Ross has all the attributes that we want to be associated with our program, from the character, to the type of student that he is, to the type of player that he is,” Pioneers head coach Andy Waddle said of Keller. “We want to help him develop into the best player that he can be, just like all of our players. We expect all of our guys to come in with the mindset of graduating and beyond that, we want them to be good people.

Gallia 4-H club buys protective K-9 vest By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County 4-H group has raised enough money to buy a protective vest for one of the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office canine units and delivered it Friday afternoon to the unit. “Pennies for Protection” is the name of a project led by the Gallia County 4-H Club the K-9 Korps to outfit all local police canine units with protective vests. According to Brea Elliot, group advisor, the group trains dogs and teaches children about training method specifics and where those methods originate. A member’s 4-H project is about building a relationship with that member’s animal. Canine officer Bundy is the first of four dogs anticipated to receive vests. According to his handler, Deputy Steve Heater, he is four-yearsold. Money raising efforts for the protective vest have been ongoing during 2015 to the present day. According to statistics previously given by Elliot, in 2015, there have been 116 police canine killings nationally. Of those, 36 were gun shots, 34 were knife or wounds inflicted by things like broken bottles, and 46 deaths were caused by automobiles driving into dogs. Elliot said the group needs $402.12 to reach its goal of providing another canine unit with a vest and has an open “Pennies for Protection” account with Ohio Valley Bank for those wishing to donate. There is also a gofundme.com webpage for the project at www.gofundme. com/2s6ewbrs. In years past, a Gallia County police dog named Jack was stabbed in the line of service, he lived but retired shortly after receiving his injury. “These vests are military grade,” Elliot said. “They’re lighter and made to keep the dogs cooler. The vests can withstand a fourinch spike and a .45 Magnum.

I think just this week there’s already been two canines killed (nationally).” “We just want to thank the group for their efforts,” said Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning. “It further helps us provide for the canine program which benefits the citizens of Gallia County and benefits the kids to work towards a project which benefits public service, safety and learning.” Dean Wright can be reached at (740) 446-2342, Ext. 2103.

Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. The Meigs County Health Department would like to take this opportunity to honor six registered nurses it employs in some facet within the field of public health and to recognize the work they perform:Aimee Imbrosciano, MSN, MPH – Health Commissioner Leanne Cunningham, RN, BSN, CLC – Director of Nursing work with communities to try and help people improve their health and prevent disease.

The Meigs County Health Department’s nurses aim to improve health at the community level. They may work alone or on multidisciplinary teams. Many supervise other health care and lay personnel. In addition to working with communities, they work behind the scenes planning activities, managing budgets and evaluating the effectiveness of public health programs. They may travel locally or across significant distances to meet with community groups and bring health care services into underserved communities. Public health nurses are highly dedicated individuals who work very hard to improve community health and access to care. They must be able to work well with large groups, listen attentively and be sensitive to cultural differences. They have to manage often scarce resources creatively and focus their efforts where they will do the most good. Wildlife conservation students present at multiple conferences By Jessica Patterson For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE – Students from the University of Rio Grande’s School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences presented posters detailing their work in the field at conservation conferences this semester. Ten wildlife conservation majors attended the annual Ohio Natural History Conference sponsored by the Ohio Biological Survey, and one attended the Midwest Great Lakes Ecological Restoration Conference in Bloomington, Ind. The poster session included four research projects involving the work of Rio students. Associate Professor of Wildlife Conservation, Dr. Don Althoff, said their participation in these directed studies as part of the Rio EcoMonitoring Project demonstrates opportunities available to students to expand hands-on learning. “These wildlife conservation majors have now experienced up close the challenges associated with designing and conducting research and the satisfaction of presenting their findings in a scholarly way through the poster sessions at these conferences,” Althoff said. “I applaud each of them for recognizing the value of going above and beyond to further their understanding of the natural world. Kelcie Severs, a senior from Dayton, took part in using acoustic monitoring data to determine activity patterns of hoary bats in southeast Ohio. “It was really exciting to be able to present Provided Presentation of books to the library through the Addie Vanden Memorial Fund.

Donation bolsters library Staff Report Provided Seniors Jordan Maxwell (from left), Jacob Manning, Kelcie Severs, Brad Cordle and Katelyn Dearth presented wildlife conservation projects at multiple conferences. my work to my peers from around the state. I think anyone who has the chance to attend a conference for their field of study should definitely take the opportunity because you can learn so much from each other at these events,” Severs said. Andy Merkle, a 2015 graduate from Chardon, and senior Jordan Maxwell, of Beavercreek, worked to detect a bat species in different areas in southeast Ohio and determine if they used the locations as habitats or foraging areas. “It’s interesting to see all of the other studies and projects going on that you wouldn’t get to see unless it’s been published,” Maxwell said. “This was a great way for everyone to talk with the researchers working on the project and ask questions first hand.” Seniors Brad Cordle, of Logan, and Katelyn Dearth, of Ravenna, also participated in the Ohio Natural History Conference. Cordle helped document arthropod diversity last summer on Baby Moose Hill on campus. Dearth assisted in a project to evaluate a traditional device for measuring canopy cover compared to using iPhone generated images. Jacob Manning, a senior from Huber Heights, presented his work at the Midwest Great Lakes Ecological Restoration Conference in Indiana. He took part in a study to test new ways of reforesting. “It was a great experience to go to Indiana to show my work and network with other students and professionals in the field from across the country,” Manning said. “My classes have been very hands-on, which has helped me prepare to take on projects like this one.” Althoff said he is proud of his seniors and their accomplishments through the Wildlife Conservation Program. GALLIPOLIS — “There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.” — Jacqueline Kennedy. Sharing the love of books with children in the community was of special interest to Addie Vanden, the first librarian of the public library in Gallipolis. Vanden was a member of the Thursday Club, a women’s literary group bound for the purpose of literary study, which actually founded the first library in Gallipolis. The original quarters of the library were on the second floor of the Lupton Building on Second Avenue. In 1928, at the time of Vanden’s death, a fund was established in her memory to be used for the purchase of children’s books for the library. This fund has continued to grow over the years, with the trustees of the fund making periodic donations to the Gallia County District Library (Dr. Samuel L. Bossard Memorial Library) for the addition of children’s books to the collection. Recently, the library received a donation of $750, given in memory of Ann Cornett, through the Addie Vanden Memorial Fund. With these funds, a wide variety of children’s books were purchased for the reading pleasure of those in the community. In addition to these books, the memorial fund provided for the purchase of a bulletin board for the Youth Services department of the library. “When I consider the enduring legacy of librarians of the Gallia County District Library who have served in the past, such as Addie Vanden and Jonathan Louden, it is an honor and a privilege to serve as the librarian of the Gallia County District Library today,” noted Debbie Saunders, library director. “It is my hope that these books, placed in the library’s collection, will be read by many children, parents and grandparents in the years ahead.” An interested citizen or organization wishing to make a donation to the Addie Vanden Memorial Fund may do so by making checks payable to the Addie Vanden Memorial Fund, c/o Anne Halliday Jenkins, Treasurer, 240 First Ave., Gallipolis, OH 45631.
