OHIO VALLEY — The University of Rio Grande chapter
of the American Marketing
Association won three awards
at the International Collegiate
Conference in New Orleans.
The group received their
awards for outstanding membership, outstanding chapter
planning and outstanding communication.
The AMA is an association
for marketing professionals,
with 76 professional and 250
collegiate chapters across the
United States and approximately 30,000 members. The
association was formed in

1937 from the merger of two
predecessor organizations,
the National Association of
Marketing Teachers and the
American Marketing Society.
The AMA sets goals for
professional development and
community service projects,
as well as fundraising. Though
unable to attend the recent
conference, the group worked
throughout the academic
school year to achieve the
goals they set in August 2015.
The Rio chapter has won 28
national awards over the last
10 years. These awards have
been in many ﬁelds including
community service, membership, communication and
planning. The group has also

been acknowledged as one of
the best small chapters in the
United States.
Among Rio’s AMA members
are chapter president Jacob
Wheeler, a Gallia County resident, and faculty advisor Dr.
Wesley Thoene, from Meigs
County.
“We are excited to have won
the awards this year,” Wheeler
said. “It is difﬁcult to balance
all of the aspects that (professional development, community service, communication
and fundraising), but it all
comes down to planning and
communication.”

red and white striped
tent to house evening

for its June operating
season.
“Ohio Chautaqua is
presented by the Ohio
Humanities Council,”
said Debbie Saunders Bossard Memorial Library
director.
According to Saunders, who is also the Gallia
County Ohio Chautauqua Committee chair, the
event is slated to hold performances every evening
in the park from June 21-25 with local music performances starting at 6:45 p.m. and living historical presenters starting their performances at 7:30

Scholars are going to perform in-character presentations as historical ﬁgures Chief Cornstalk,
Mary Shelley, Dian Fossey, Marie Curie and President Theodore Roosevelt.
Chief Cornstalk was known for being a leader of
the Shawnee and for his involvement in the Battle
of Point Pleasant in 1774. Historians remember
Mary Shelley as the author of “Frankenstein.”
Dian Fossey is remembered for her extensive work
with mountain gorillas. Marie Curie served as a
renowned physicist and chemist who pioneered
research in radioactivity, and President Theodore
Roosevelt was known for his endorsements of
American natural conservation.

Union protesters to
picket over sale of
Ohio prison farms

Students drinking heavily before lake death

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s largest
prison workers’ union has scheduled a series of
pickets beginning Monday against the announced
shutdown of the state prison farms program.
The Ohio Civil Service Employees Association,
whose members include farm program coordinators and dairy workers, said the protests will
begin with a cattle auction at Marion Correctional
Institution. Additional pickets are planned over
the next month — in Pickaway on May 24, in
Chillicothe on May 25, in London on June 9 and
in Lebanon on June 10.
The union said members, union activists and
community members are expected.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and
Correction announced last month that it’s shutting
down its prison farms to raise millions of dollars
to fund new rehabilitation and job training programs for inmates.
The state said it would continue farming this
year but would prepare to auction off livestock
and stop farming by 2017.
State prisons director Gary Mohr told The
Associated Pass that about 220 inmates work on
the farms at the height of the season — but few,
if any, take farm jobs afterward, compared with
20,000 inmates released each year in need of help
and services as they re-enter the community.
He said as Ohio struggles to reduce its inmate
population and keep offenders from committing
new crimes, it makes more sense to look at ways
to help thousands of inmates instead of a few hundred.
The union said it was blindsided by the
announcement and has ﬁled an injunction to halt
the process. A hearing is scheduled for May 27.
The union said the department “is moving
quickly to sell off its cattle and shutter Ohio’s prison farms in the hopes the union representing farm
employees will be unable to stop the closure.”
AFL-CIO Ohio president Tim Burga said the
farm program teaches non-farm job skills, such
as how to operate heavy machinery, weld, repair
equipment, construct and repair buildings and use
power tools.

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Numerous students were
drinking heavily and for
hours before a traditional
cold-weather lake jump
last year during which
an Ohio State University
student died, according
to newly released police
records about the student’s death.
The students included
the victim, his friends
and many other students
among the thousands
who attended the jump
into Mirror Lake on
Nov. 25, according to the
report obtained by The
Associated Press through
an open records request.
Even the student who
found the body of Austin Singletary had been
drinking, the report said.
“Nobody was stumbling/falling down drunk,
but they had deﬁnitely
been drinking,” said
another student, who
had been with Singletary most of the night,
according to the report.
The Franklin County
coroner said Singletary,
22, died from accidental
trauma to the head and
neck caused by diving
into shallow water during the jump, a tradition
ahead of the annual
football game with rival
Michigan. The coroner
said Singletary had a
blood-alcohol content of

Ohio State University students gather around Mirror Lake on the campus in Columbus, Ohio. A
22-year-old student from Dayton, Ohio, Austin Lee Singletary, died Nov. 25, 2015, after taking
part in the traditional lake jump that leads up to the university’s annual football game against the
University of Michigan, as part of “Beat Michigan Week” events.

0.18, more than twice
the legal limit in Ohio.
Another student — not
part of Singletary’s circle
of friends — told police
“everyone in the group
had been drinking,” from
around 8 p.m. until about
11:30 p.m. when they left
for the lake.
“There was nobody
in the group that was
so drunk they couldn’t
care for themselves at
least basically,” another
student said. But the
student added: “Driving
vehicles was deﬁnitely
not something they
would be doing based on
their intoxication level.”
Friends of Singletary
began drinking late in
the afternoon the day
before, according to the
report. They arrived
at Singletary’s apartment around 7 p.m.

where they found he had
already been drinking,
and moved to a fraternity
house shortly afterward
and played drinking
games until around midnight, the report said.
Singletary was uneasy
about making the dive,
his ﬁrst, according to the
report.
“Austin seemed apprehensive about jumping
because he hadn’t done it
before,” one student said.
“The whole concept
of the Mirror Lake jump
didn’t seem that appealing to Austin leading up
to that night,” another
said, according to the
report. But the same
student didn’t feel Singletary “was peer pressured” into the dive.
Singletary was a thirdyear student from Dayton. The family declined

to comment through
their lawyer.
“Austin was a tremendous young man, and
they’re dealing with that
loss,” attorney William
Posey said Monday.
Posey declined to say if
the family planned legal
action over their son’s
death.
Ohio State said it’s
committed to ending
the jump. Past efforts to
control it through gates
and wristbands fell short
because of the number
of students who showed
up to the lake, which sits
on campus near the OSU
oval.
The university’s Student Government General Assembly has also
backed ending the event,
although some students
have been critical of stopping the jump.

NEWS FROM AROUND THE BUCKEYE STATE

Man charged in fatal stabbing
has bond set at $2M
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say bond for
a man accused of fatally stabbing a woman and seriously injuring her husband in northwest Ohio has
been set at $2 million.
The Blade reports (http://bit.ly/1WBx5RF) that a
judge in Toledo set the bond Monday for 32-year-old
Michael Dean who has been charged with murder and
attempted murder. Authorities say the Toledo man is
accused of killing 51-year-old Suzanne Dixon and also
stabbing Bruce Dixon, whose throat was cut. Bruce
Dixon’s condition wasn’t immediately available Monday. A hospital spokeswoman said she had no information on anyone by that name.
Court records don’t show an attorney for Dean. His
next court appearance was set for Tuesday.
Lucas County’s coroner says Suzanne Dixon died
from multiple wounds received in the stabbing Saturday.

Ohio gas prices up
from a week ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Gas prices around
Ohio have increased from the same time last week.
The state average was $2.25 in Monday’s survey
from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. The average price in Ohio this
time last week was $2.16.
Ohio’s price to start the week was slightly above the
national average price of 2.22 in Monday’s survey.
But both the state and national prices remain below
what they were the same time a year ago.
The national average this time last year was $2.70.
Ohioans were paying an average of about $2.62 at the
same time last year.
Historically, gasoline demand increases leading into
the summer driving season.

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis
The battle with credit card debt can
be a constant struggle against high
interest rates and monthly payments
that never seem to make a dent in
what you owe. How is it possible to
make monthly credit card payments
and never get anywhere?
This problem is caused by high
interest rates that eats up most of
your payments. Even though you
make your minimum payment,
you don’t make much headway
eliminating the debt.
Luckily, there’s a way to find debt
relief without incurring more
debts. Using certified credit
counseling like Consolidated
Credit, you can get professional

advice to identify the right solution for your needs.
A certified credit counselor
can review your options to
see which solution is best for
you. You can qualify for lower
interest rates or even eliminate
them, while consolidating your
credit card debt into one easy
payment to get you out of debt
faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see
a reduction of total payments
by up to 30-50% as they pay off
debt faster.

Freedom from debt can
become a reality!

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY …
Today is Tuesday, May 17, the 138th day of 2016.
There are 228 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 17, 1954, a unanimous U.S. Supreme
Court handed down its Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision which held that racially
segregated public schools were inherently unequal,
and therefore unconstitutional.
On this date: In 1792, the New York Stock
Exchange had its origins as a group of brokers met
under a tree on Wall Street.
In 1875, the ﬁrst Kentucky Derby was run; the
winner was Aristides, ridden by Oliver Lewis.
In 1912, the Socialist Party of America nominated Eugene V. Debs for president at its convention
in Indianapolis.
In 1939, Britain’s King George VI and his wife,
Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Quebec on the ﬁrst
visit to Canada by a reigning British monarch.
In 1940, the Nazis occupied Brussels, Belgium,
during World War II.
In 1946, President Harry S. Truman seized control of the nation’s railroads, delaying — but not
preventing — a threatened strike by engineers and
trainmen.
In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro offered to
release prisoners captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion in exchange for 500 bulldozers. (The prisoners were eventually freed in exchange for medical
supplies.)
In 1973, a special committee convened by the
U.S. Senate began its televised hearings into the
Watergate scandal.
In 1980, rioting that claimed 18 lives erupted
in Miami’s Liberty City after an all-white jury in
Tampa acquitted four former Miami police ofﬁcers
of fatally beating black insurance executive Arthur
McDufﬁe.
In 1987, 37 American sailors were killed when
an Iraqi warplane attacked the U.S. Navy frigate
Stark in the Persian Gulf. (Iraq apologized for the
attack, calling it a mistake, and paid more than
$27 million in compensation.)
In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed a measure
requiring neighborhood notiﬁcation when sex
offenders move in. (“Megan’s Law,” as it’s known,
was named for Megan Kanka, a seven-year-old
New Jersey girl who was raped and murdered in
1994.)
In 2004, Massachusetts became the ﬁrst state to
allow legal same-sex marriages.
Ten years ago: The FBI began digging at a Michigan
horse farm in search of the remains of former
Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa; the two-week
search yielded no evidence. It was announced
that Paul McCartney and his second wife,
Heather Mills McCartney, had agreed to separate.
Broadway producer Cy Feuer died in New York at
age 95.
Five years ago: Queen Elizabeth II began the ﬁrst
visit by a British monarch to the Republic of
Ireland, a four-day trip to highlight strong AngloIrish relations and the success of Northern Ireland
peacemaking. Former California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger issued a statement conﬁrming
a Los Angeles Times report that he had fathered
a child with a woman on his household staff
more than a decade earlier. (Schwarzenegger
and his wife, Maria Shriver, had announced their
separation on May 9, 2011.) Baseball Hall of
Famer Harmon Killebrew, 74, died in Scottsdale,
Arizona.
One year ago: A shootout erupted between bikers
and police outside a Twin Peaks restaurant in
Waco, Texas, leaving nine of the bikers dead and
20 people injured. The contested city of Ramadi,
capital of Iraq’s largest province, fell to the Islamic
State group in a major loss despite intensiﬁed
U.S.-led airstrikes. Pope Francis canonized Sisters
Mariam Bawardy and Marie Alphonsine Ghattas,
two nuns from what was 19th-century Palestine, in
hopes of encouraging Christians across the Middle
East who were facing a wave of persecution from
Islamic extremists.

Frankenstein meets ‘The Donald’
Dr. Frankenstein was
adding a chapter to his
latest scientiﬁc journal,
“Think Brain Transplants
Are Impossible? Let Me
Change Your Mind,”
when there was a loud
knocking on his castle
door.
Dr. Frankenstein
sighed, put down his
pen and descended the
huge, uneven stone steps
leading downstairs to
the giant front door. He
opened the small, hinged
cut-out that served as a
peep hole located at eye
level so he could peer
outside and remain protected from the storm
that was raging. He
shouted, “Who is it?”
“It’s Reince Priebus!”
came the reply.
“Did you say Dr. Pretorius?” the doctor yelled.
“No! Reince Priebus!
I’m the chairman of the
Republican National
Committee! Please let
me in!”
Reluctantly, Dr. Frankenstein slid the three
huge bolts that secured
the door and threw it
open, frantically waving his uninvited guest
to hurry inside. To the
doctor’s surprise, Priebus was pulling a large,
ﬂatbed wagon, and arms
and legs were protruding from beneath a white
sheet that had been
strapped on top of what
appeared to be a collection of eight or nine lifeless bodies.
“What is this?” asked
Dr. Frankenstein, hurriedly closing the door
against the elements
as the wagon’s wooden
wheels came to a stop.
“And how did you get
past the wall that surrounds this castle?”
“The gate was open,
but don’t worry, I locked
it behind me,” said Priebus, catching his breath
before pointing to the
wagon and adding, “I
need your special skills,
Dr. Frankenstein.”
The doctor was
intrigued. He gently
lifted one corner of the
sheet, causing a shock of

“Oh I gotta say it,

sweep
Trimble, 13-1
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

GLOUSTER, Ohio — Finishing with a bang.
The Eastern softball team completed its 2016
championship run in impressive fashion Friday
night following a 13-1 victory over host Trimble in
a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup
in Athens County.
The Lady Eagles (19-6, 15-1 TVC Hocking)
scored the ﬁrst 10 runs of the game before allowing a solo homer to Alyssa Turley in the bottom
of the fourth, but the guests answered with three
more runs and some stellar defensive play to wrap
up the mercy-rule decision in ﬁve innings.
EHS also claimed a season sweep of the Lady
Tomcats (13-6, 11-5) after posting a 13-2 win at
Don Jackson Field back on May 2.
Eastern got a pair of two-out RBI singles from
Jess Coleman and Cera Grueser in the top of the
ﬁrst, giving the Green and Gold an early 2-0 cushion.
EHS followed with three runs in the second and
third innings after producing three hits to go along
with two THS errors in each frame, making it an
8-0 contest through three complete.
The guests then produced four consecutive
one-out hits in the fourth, which led to a pair of
scores and a sizable 10-0 edge midway through the
fourth.
Two hits, two walks and an error allowed

“Hopefully we can come

and provide whoever’s on
the mound with the same
kind of defense and early
run support. I know we
are looking forward to
another shot at a district
title after last year.”
The game took an
unusual twist in the top
half of the ﬁrst as Austin
Coleman blooped a ball
between two outﬁelders
and the second baseman
for a leadoff single, then
John Little followed by
executing a supposed sac-

riﬁce bunt.
Little, however,
dropped a really good
bunt down the third base
line and legged out a
single just ahead of the
throw. Little ended up
colliding with ﬁrst baseman Tyler Speas a halfstep later, which caused
the ball to get knocked
loose down the right ﬁeld
line as both players went
down to the ground in
pain.
Coleman continued
racing around second and
advanced past third base
before PNDHS right ﬁelder Truman Hash retrieved
the ball. Coleman ended
up scoring on the twobase error as the Green
and Gold secured an early
1-0 advantage.
Things again took a
pleasant turn for EHS
in the top of the third as
Richmond and Kaleb Hill
provided back-to-back
singles, then Nate Durst
entered as a pinch-runner
for Hill. Both Richmond
and Durst advanced up
a base following a wild
pitch, but Durst was
eventually picked off at
second for the second out
of the inning.
Ethen Richmond followed with a walk to put
runners at the corners,
then Notre Dame reliever
Drew Cassidy tried to
pick Ethen Richmond off
at ﬁrst — which led to a
small rundown.

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis
The battle with credit card debt can
be a constant struggle against high
interest rates and monthly payments
that never seem to make a dent in
what you owe. How is it possible to
make monthly credit card payments
and never get anywhere?
This problem is caused by high
interest rates that eats up most of
your payments. Even though you
make your minimum payment,
you don’t make much headway
eliminating the debt.
Luckily, there’s a way to find debt
relief without incurring more
debts. Using certified credit
counseling like Consolidated
Credit, you can get professional

advice to identify the right solution for your needs.
A certified credit counselor
can review your options to
see which solution is best for
you. You can qualify for lower
interest rates or even eliminate
them, while consolidating your
credit card debt into one easy
payment to get you out of debt
faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see
a reduction of total payments
by up to 30-50% as they pay off
debt faster.

Freedom from debt can
become a reality!

Oiler wins hurdles
races at SEOAL meet
By Paul Boggs

pboggs@civitasmedia.com

LOGAN, Ohio — It
was Gallia Academy’s
ﬁnal Southeastern Ohio
Athletic League track and
ﬁeld meet.
Madi Oiler made sure
she cleared every hurdle.
And that she did,
as Oiler was the Blue
Angels’ — or even the
Blue Devils’ — only allleague performer, capturing the championships in
both SEOAL girls hurdles
races on Saturday inside
chilly Logan Chieftain
Stadium.
The ﬁnal four-team
SEOAL meet featured
only a few of Gallia Academy’s athletes, as most of
them had competed just
18 hours earlier on Friday
night in the Ohio Valley
Conference championship meet.
To earn all-SEOAL
status, an individual had
to win his or her event,
and Oiler swept the girls
hurdles races for half
(12) of the Blue Angels’
23 points.

The junior won the
100m hurdles in 16.93
seconds, as the next
closest competitor was
over a full second slower
(18.03).
In the 300m hurdles,
Oiler amassed a victorious time of 49.46 seconds
— the only lady to run
under 50 as the runnerup almost ran a ﬂat 52
(51.97 seconds).
Oiler’s teammate in
the hurdles, senior Jamie
Canﬁeld, ﬁnished fourth
in the 100m and ﬁfth in
the 300m.
Oiler also anchored
the Blue Angels’ runnerup 4x400m relay team,
which ran the four-lap
race in four minutes and
32 seconds — and trailed
Logan’s foursome by only
slightly over a second
(4:31.02).
Fellow junior Mary
Watts was the third leg
for GAHS, while freshman Erin Lincoln opened
and sophomore Hailey
Deem was the second.
Lincoln ﬁnished
fourth in the 100m dash
(13.95 seconds), while

sophomore Grace Martin
placed ﬁfth in the 400m
dash (1:10.51).
For the GAHS boys,
they ﬁelded fewer athletes — boys or girls —
than any other club.
The Blue Devils placed
in just three of the 17
events, scoring only 10
points.
The 4x400m relay
quartet was runner-up
to Logan, as the Blue
Devils’ unit of sophomore
opening leg Zac Bokal
and juniors Dylan Nunn
(second leg), Kaleb Crisenbery (third leg) and
Isaiah Lester (fourth leg)
ran a 3:38.
Crisenbery was the
runner-up to Logan’s
Isiah Smith in the high
jump, as both men
cleared six-feet, but
Smith won the fewer
misses tiebreaker.
Oliver Davis, in clearing nine feet in the pole
vault, ﬁnished fourth for
the Blue Devils.
The meet was scored
on a 6-4-3-2-1 individualpoint basis, as all relay
races were scored on a
