Rob Dudley, CEO for Coplin Health Systems gave opening remarks about the scope of services Coplin offers, especially noting the success of school health clinics in the system. He praised Southern highly for its great work with both children and community. “We are now having schools from Ohio and West Virginia approaching us, beyond the ones already in operation. Southern has become a model program and has set the benchmark for the standards we hope all clinics can become,” said Dudley. “You have a special and unique group here at Southern. We are pleased to be a part of such a successful operation.” Southern Supt. Tony Deem said, “What we were looking for when we set up our program was solely to improve the wellness of our kids here at school. It was always about the kids, and is still about the kids ﬁrst. Fortunately, we have been able to expand services and serve our staff and the community as well. We are very proud of the program we have here.” The clinic sees students ﬁrst, then staff, parents and community. No appointment is necessary. Ofﬁce hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon- day-Friday when school is in session. The phone number for the clinic is 740-949-2348. The Southern Local School Wellness Center is operated by Junie Maynard, Nurse Practitioner, Sharon Harvey, RN and Nikki Whobrey, LPN. Maynard gave a run-down of the services offered at the Southern clinic and provided numbers for services rendered last school year. Generally operating only when school is in session, the clinic began opening on Mondays during the summer months a couple years ago. This year Maynard reported that there were 179 visits, 16 per day, over the 11 summer Monday sessions. The Southern clinic offered 106 free sports physicals to students as well. DOT physicals are given at the clinic. Some of the programs the clinic operates during the year includes immunizations,; administering ﬂu vaccines; hosting November Diabetes Awareness Month and Heart Health Day on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) where a panel of labs (CBC, CMP, Lipids, TSH and HbA1c) can be drawn for $25; promoting Southern staff wellness and promoting the “Biggest Loser Weight Loss Contest”; and hosting free sports physicals for Southern students grades 7-12 the month of May.

It will also become illegal to give such products to others under age 21. According to the Associated Press, Ohio is one of 18 states that have raised the minimum age for purchasing cigarettes, cigars, electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products. The law signed in July by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine also applies to rolling papers, ﬁlters and other smoking and vaping accessories. “Research indicates that approximately 95% of adult smokers begin smoking before they turn 21,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “Increasing the age to 21 will reduce the chances of our young people starting to smoke and becoming regular smokers.” “Evidence suggests that nicotine use during adolescence and young adulthood has long-term impacts on brain development, and tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.,” said Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Director Amy Acton, MD, MPH. “Raising the sales age for tobacco and vaping products from 18 to 21 means that those who can legally obtain these products are less likely to be in the same social networks as high school students.” According to a 2015 report by the Institute of Medicine, raising the tobacco sales age from 18 to 21 will likely prevent or delay initiation of tobacco use by adolescents and young adults, particularly among youth 15 to 17 years old.

Dean Wright | OVP Newly appointed University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College President Ryan Smith speaks with Ohio Department of Education Chancellor Randy Gardner. ODE chancellor visits Rio Discusses capital bill, potential funding By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest.com RIO GRANDE — Ohio Department of Education Chancellor Randy Gardner stopped to tour the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College Tuesday and discuss funding issues with college ofﬁcials. While touring the nursing and welding program facilities, Rio Grande Community College and University of Rio Grande President Ryan Smith discussed Rio’s educational focuses and partnerships. Smith was named president of the college partnership in late September and resigned his position as the former Ohio state representative for the 93rd district. “He’s actually been on a tour of all the schools of Ohio,” said Smith of Gardner. “He did four in southern Ohio, today… I’ve known him for a long time since I’d been in the legislature. (Gardner) is also a big basketball fan so we went to do a Bevo (Francis) tour.” Smith and Gardner discussed the capital bill and potential funding for the college campus. The capital budget typically focuses on the more dire needs of state government, economic development and schools. The Ohio House and Senate work to pass capital budget bills to fund target projects. The funding of such projects is often a process partnering leaders from economic development, the arts and others who can advise on the strength of project investments. Capital bill funding provided Rio Grande Community College $1.67 million in 2016 for the creation of the its Jackson class site. “Like most schools, when we have a lot of deferred maintenance we need to take care of,” said Smith of when talks occur about the capital budget. “HVAC systems need overhauled, things like that. That’s part of it. We’re looking at IT systems for an upgrade so they work more efﬁciently. The staff here has done what I consider an excellent job keeping up an outdated system, but at some point we have to get where we need to go so it can work more efﬁciently and offer us the potential of doing more things like increasing campus security and other good upgrades.” Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342.

Authors @ Alden to host David Wanczyk to discuss baseball for the blind ATHENS — Authors @ Alden will host David Wanczyk on Oct. 24 from 5:30-7 p.m. to talk about his book “Beep: Inside the Unseen World of Baseball for the Blind” on the fourth ﬂoor of Alden Library. “Beep” is the ﬁrst book written about baseball for the blind and visually impaired. For ﬁve years Wanczyk, who graduated from Ohio University’s Ph.D. creative writing program in 2010, traveled the country, and to the Dominican Republic and Taiwan, to interview beep baseball players for his book and witness the action of the game. The book focuses on the gameplay of beep baseball, along with proﬁles of the players, over the course of a championship game. “What I’m really interested in is watching how the personal lives of the guys are in some ways indistinguishable from their gameplay,” said Wanczyk. “I hope to transcend a kind of cliché about inspiration that I think people feel about the stories of disabled people, and although they are inspiring people, they’re more than doing just that.” Wanczyk will be speaking with j.w. smith, Ph.D., an associate professor of communication studies, who was an early source for Wanczyk’s book. Smith was born blind and played beep baseball in the 1970s and 1980s. The event is free and open to the public.

GM, union reach tentative deal that could end strike By Tom Krisher AP Auto Writer DETROIT — Bargainers for General Motors and the United Auto Workers reached a tentative contract deal on Wednesday that could end a monthlong strike that brought the company’s U.S. factories to a standstill. The deal, which the union says offers “major gains” for workers, was hammered out after months of bargaining but won’t bring an immediate end to the strike by 49,000 hourly workers. They will likely stay on the picket lines for at least two more days as two union committees vote on the deal, after which the members will have to approve. Terms of the tentative four-year contract were not released, but it’s likely to include some pay raises, lump sum payments to workers and requirements that GM build new vehicles in U.S. factories. Analysts say the strike probably cost GM $2 billion in lost production, while workers lost on average more than $3,000 in wages and had to live on $250 per week in strike pay. “Everybody lost out on this. We did, they did,” said Mark Nichols, who works at GM’s transmission plant in Toledo, Ohio. Nichols, who thought the strike would last only a week or two, said he’s ready to get back to work because his savings are running low. “I just hope it gets done,” he said. The deal now will be used as a template for talks with GM’s crosstown rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler. Normally the major provisions carry over to the other two companies and cover about 140,000 auto workers nationwide. It wasn’t clear which company the union would bargain with next, or whether there would be another strike. Art Schwartz, a former GM negotiator who now runs a labor consulting business, said depending on the contents, the contract could influence wages and benefits at other manufacturers. But he said foreign automakers with U.S. factories, mainly in the South, always give pay raises and shouldn’t be affected much. “They’re located in low-wage areas and they pay well,” he said. “The people who work there are kings of the locality.” The strike did show that the union still has power in the auto industry. “I think economically the UAW will do just fine in this agreement,” Schwartz said. Early on, GM offered new products in Detroit and Lordstown, Ohio, two of the four U.S. cities where it planned to close factories. The company said it would build a new electric pickup truck to keep the Detroit-Hamtramck plant open and to build an electric vehicle battery factory in or near Lordstown, Ohio, where GM is closing an assembly plant. The battery factory would employ far fewer workers and pay less money than the assembly plant. Clarence Trinity, a worker at GM’s engine and transmission plant in the Detroit suburb of Romulus, Michigan, said the deal sounds good, “But I have to see it in writing or hear from the leaders.” Trinity said he can’t figure out why it took 31 days for the strike to end. “I don’t understand what General Motors was expecting to get out of us. Maybe they didn’t expect us to strike. Maybe they didn’t expect us to strike this long.” It’s unclear if GM will be able to make up some of the production lost to the strike by increasing assembly line speeds or paying workers overtime. Many GM dealers reported still healthy inventories of vehicles even with the strike. If all of the committees bless the deal, it’s likely to take several days for GM to get its factories restarted. Matt Himes, a worker at the GM plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, heard news of the deal in Ohio, where he’s trying to help his wife sell their house after the Lordstown GM plant where he used to work was shuttered. He hopes good news keeps coming. If they can sell their house, his wife can finally move down to Tennessee with him. “I’m proud that we stuck our ground and everybody stuck together,” Himes said of the union workers during a phone interview. “And I’m relieved that hopefully it worked out, got us a good contract and we can move on and get back to work making cars like we should be.” Wall Street investors liked news that the strike could end. GM shares jumped 2.6% just after the news broke, but they eased back by early afternoon with the stock up 1.2% to $36.68. GM and the union have been negotiating at a time of troubling uncertainty for the U.S. auto industry. Driven up by the longest economic expansion in American history, auto sales appear to have peaked and are now heading in the other direction. GM and other carmakers are also struggling to make the transition to electric and autonomous vehicles. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s trade war with China and his tariffs on imported steel and aluminum have raised costs for auto companies. A revamped North American free trade deal is stalled in Congress, raising doubts about the future of America’s trade in autos and auto parts with Canada and Mexico, which last year came to $257 billion. Amid that uncertainty, GM workers have wanted to lock in as much as they can before things get ugly. They argue that they had given up pay raises and made other concessions to keep GM afloat during its 2009 trip through bankruptcy protection. Now that GM has been nursed back to health — earning $2.42 billion in its latest quarter — they want a bigger share. The union’s bargainers have voted to recommend the deal to the UAW International Executive Board, which will vote on the agreement. Union leaders from factories nationwide will travel to Detroit for a vote on Thursday. The earliest workers could return would be after that. In past years, it’s taken a minimum of three or four days and as long as several weeks for the national ratification vote. Workers took almost two weeks to finish voting on their last GM agreement, in October 2015. Then skilled-trades workers rejected it, causing further delays. “The No. 1 priority of the national negotiation team has been to secure a strong and fair contract that our members deserve,” union Vice President Terry Dittes, the chief bargainer with GM, said in a statement Wednesday. The agreement, he said, has “major gains” for UAW workers. This time around — with a federal corruption investigation that has implicated the past two UAW presidents and brought convictions of five union officials — many union members don’t trust the leadership and likely won’t want to return to work until they’ve gotten a chance to vote on the deal themselves. In August, the FBI raided the suburban Detroit home of UAW President Gary Jones. He has not been charged and has not commented on the raid. Earlier this month, Jones’ successor as union regional director in Missouri was charged in a $600,000 embezzlement scheme, and another UAW official pleaded guilty to taking kickbacks from union vendors. Eight other people — including five UAW officials — have been convicted over the past two years of looting a jointly run Fiat Chrysler-UAW training center for blue-collar workers. Another official was charged in September. The strike had shut down 33 GM manufacturing plants in nine states across the U.S., and also took down factories in Canada and Mexico. It was the first national strike by the union since a two-day walkout in 2007, and the longest since a 54-day strike in Flint, Michigan, in 1998 that also halted most of GM’s production. Daily Sentinel Flu season arrives Gallia Chamber partners with Fruth Pharmacy Submitted story POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Gallia County Chamber of Commerce and Fruth Pharmacy announce a partnership to beneﬁt area employers and their employees. If you are an employer in Gallia County, you might be worried about how this year’s ﬂu will affect your workforce. On average, a worker will miss 4-5 days of work due to the ﬂu. The Gallia County Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Fruth Pharmacy to provide two different programs to enable employees to receive ﬂu shot vaccinations. “In the fall, our pharmacies begin to see an increase in our customers coming in with ﬂu related symptoms,” Lynne Fruth, president for Fruth Pharmacy stated. “We have partnered with the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce to bring employers two options to help their employees receive a ﬂu vaccination this year.” Program One: Employer Paid Flu Shots A custom voucher is available to Chamber members to distribute to their employees. Businesses may contact the Chamber to request ﬂu shot vouchers and to complete a short agreement that allows Fruth to provide the ﬂu shots to employees and bill the employer. The Chamber will distribute the vouchers and the employer simply adds the employee’s name to the card. The employee can bring this card along with a photo ID to any Fruth Pharmacy. Gallipolis has two locations – you can obtain a ﬂu shot at Fruth Pharmacy on State Route 160 or at the location on Second Ave. Once a month, Fruth will bill the business $20 per employee for the shots that have been administered. Billing will include employee’s name and date of service. Businesses are only billed for actual shots administered. A one-page agreement between the employer and Fruth Pharmacy will need to be signed prior to vouchers being distributed to employees. Program Two: Employee Discount Flu Shot Coupon Program Employers can also help obtain a discount coupon for their staff for a ﬂu shot. The Chamber Discount card will allow employees and their family members to receive a ﬂu shot at a discounted price of $20 per shot. These discount coupons are available to all Gallia County Chamber Business members and can be obtained from the Chamber. The employee simply needs to show the discount card at any local Fruth Pharmacy and receive the reduced price. Please contact the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce and request, either Program 1 or Program 2 ﬂu cards. Fruth Pharmacy can also set up a ﬂu clinic for your business and bring the ﬂu shots to you. If you have questions, please contact Fruth Pharmacy’s corporate ofﬁce at 304-675-1612 and ask to speak to Drew Massey or Jamie Bennett. You may also e-mail Drew at dmassey@fruthpharmacy.com or Jamie at jbennett@fruthpharmacy. com. The Gallia County Chamber of Commerce strives to make Gallipolis and Gallia County the best place to live and work. The Chamber promotes, supports, and strengthens businesses and economic development throughout the county and provides leadership through networking and education to improve the overall business environment for Chamber members.

Lady Knights win 20th match, sweep OVCS By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Nothing dirty about this dozen. The Point Pleasant volleyball team was down 1-0 in the opening game, then never trailed the rest of the night en route to its 12th consecutive victory Tuesday night during a 25-7, 25-6, 25-8 decision over visiting Ohio Valley Christian in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Lady Knights (20-2-2) celebrated Senior Night in style by securing their second straight 20-win campaign, which serves as a ﬁrst in program history. The Red and Black also honored seniors Peyton Jordan, Olivia Dotson, Carley Woyam, Cheyenne Durst, Remington Durst and Haley Milhoan before the game for their collective years of dedication to the program. The Lady Defenders (5-13) built their only lead on a service point from Christina Dong, but the hosts countered with ﬁve straight points and never looked back. Point led 3-0 and 6-2 in Game 2, then built leads of 3-0 and 7-1 in the ﬁnale before ultimately cruising to a trio of double-digit wins. PPHS also claimed a 3-0 decision at Ohio Valley Christian back on Sept. 24. Dotson led the PPHS service attack with 13 points, followed by Jordan with 12 points and Cheyenne Durst with 10 points to go along with a team-high six aces. Brooke Warner was next with eight points, while Milhoan and Baylie Rickard completed the scoring with respective efforts of seven and six points. Dotson led the hosts with 10 kills and dished out a game-high 19 assists. Tristan Wilson provided nine kills, while Milhoan and Addy Cottrill each chipped in six kills apiece. Cottrill also accounted for the team’s lone block. Jordan came up with a team-best 11 digs. Lauren Ragan led OVCS with three service points. Dong also had two service points in the setback.

WVU defense leans on youngsters MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s defense has turned to a group of freshmen to shore up a depleted unit during the most difﬁcult part of the schedule. West Virginia used safety Tykee Smith and cornerbacks Nicktroy Fortune and Tae Mayo in a 38-14 loss to Iowa State on Saturday. The youngsters will be counted on again when the Mountaineers (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) try to break a two-game losing streak Saturday at No. 5 Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0). “It ain’t going to get any easier, so we’ve just got to keep trying to ﬁnd guys that will do what we ask them to do,” defensive coordinator Vic Koenning said. Smith will get his third straight start against the Sooners. He grabbed a wild deﬂection and returned the ﬁrst-quarter interception 19 yards for a touchdown against the Cyclones. “That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, to be able to ﬁnd the ball like that,” linebacker Josh Chandler said. Smith is tied for ﬁfth in team tackles and entered the starting lineup after JoVanni Stewart decided not to play again this season for personal reasons. Fortune made his ﬁrst start in place of team interception leader Keith Washington, who had sustained a leg injury the week before against Texas. Mayo played the second half against Iowa State after Hakeem Bailey was ejected for targeting. Mayo will be called upon again Saturday because Bailey will have to sit out the ﬁrst half against Oklahoma, while Washington’s status is questionable. Adding to the mix are freshman Kerry Martin, a converted quarterback, and redshirt freshman Kwantel Raines. Both have seen signiﬁcant playing time at safety in recent weeks, and freshman backup nose guard Jordan Jefferson has added stability along the line. “I’m extremely proud of them,” Chandler said. “Every day since the day they stepped on campus, they’ve been balling. They’ve been doing what they’ve had to do.” It’s been a trying season for Brown, who’s also has had to dip into what little experience and depth he has on offense. Backup quarterback Jack Allison could get his ﬁrst start of the season in place of Oklahoma graduate transfer Austin Kendall, who is questionable after leaving Saturday’s game with a chest injury. Allison, a junior, went 18 of 24 for 140 yards with one touchdown pass and an interception against Iowa State. With sophomore wide receiver Sean Ryan out several games with a chest injury, freshman Sam James, the team’s leading receiver, had ﬁve catches Saturday despite being banged up. Freshmen Winston Wright and Ali Jennings also have been leaned on to help generate some offense. Brown revealed Tuesday that slot receiver Tevin Bush, a junior, will enter the transfer portal. West Virginia set seasons lows of 53 offensive plays and 190 total yards against Iowa State and were outscored 24-0 in the second half. The Mountaineers’ running game has been held under 100 yards in four of six games this season. Trying to accomplish anything against Oklahoma could be impossible. The Sooners average 50 points and 622 yards per game and have improved greatly on defense. West Virginia is a four-touchdown underdog. “We’re experiencing some growing pains. I think that’s obvious,” Brown said. “I think our kids are playing with great effort. Our execution and our playmaking is not what it needs to be.” �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Thursday, October 17, 2019 7 Lady Knights edge Lincoln County, 1-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A fortunate bounce. Sophomore Kady Hughes nailed a onehopper into the net seven minutes into regulation, giving the Point Pleasant girls soccer team all the offense it needed Tuesday night during a 1-0 victory over visiting Lincoln County in a nonconference matchup at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field. The Lady Knights (9-73), in their ﬁnal home game of the season, had little trouble producing — in the ﬁrst six minutes of play, then Hughes ended up with a loose ball 20 yards out on the left side of the ﬁeld.

Blue Angels ousted by Warren, 3-1 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com VINCENT, Ohio — A second season in the books. The Gallia Academy girls soccer team — co-champion of the Ohio Valley Conference — had its second season of competition come to an end on Tuesday in Washington County, with second-seeded Warren claiming a 3-1 victory over the seventh-seeded Blue Angels in the Division II sectional semiﬁnal. Warren (11-3-3) broke the scoreless with around six minutes to play in the ﬁrst half, with Macie Smith ﬁnding the back of the net after an assist from Lacey Cline. There was enough time left in the half for the Lady Warriors to go up 2-0, with Taylor Sloan scoring an unassisted goal. Gallia Academy (9-6-2) ended the shut out bid 22 minutes into the second half, with Kyrsten Sanders scoring on an assist from Preslee Reed. However, Warren put the cherry on top of its 3-1 win with eight minutes to go, as Smith found the net on an assist from Kaylee McGee. In goal for GAHS, Brooklyn Hill claimed 13 saves. Meanwhile, Millie Ryan had two saves for the victors. The Blue Angels also dropped their regular season meeting with the Lady Warriors, falling on Aug. 24 in Vincent by a 4-0 tally. RedStorm women cruise past Brescia By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing OWENSBORO, Ky. — Finally, the University of Rio Grande women’s soccer team found a way to ﬁnish. The RedStorm scored four second half goals, including two by Payten Davis, en route to a 5-0 victory over Brescia University, Monday night, in River States Conference action at Kamuf Park. Rio Grande snapped a three-game losing slide, improving to 2-11 overall and 2-3 in league play with the win. The Bearcats dropped to 2-11 overall and 0-5 inside the RSC with the loss.

The RedStorm had a 29-7 edge in shots overall, and a 20-6 advantage in shots on goal. The 29 shots and 20 shots on frame both represented season-highs for head coach Tony Daniels’ squad. The ﬁve goals also equaled a season-high set, not so surprisingly, in the club’s other victory - a 5-1 triumph over Midway University on Sept. 26. Davis, a junior from Chillicothe, Ohio and the league’s Player of the Year last season, ﬁnished with three goals in the win - her ﬁrst three goals of the season. Davis scored what proved to be the only goal that Rio would need with 9:08 left in the opening half before scoring again - off an assist by senior Ambar Torres (Guyaquil, Ecuador) - just over 14-1/2 minutes into the second stanza to start a four-goal barrage in a span of 18 minutes. Junior Chase Davis (Huntington, WV) scored her second goal of the season two minutes later, thanks to a feed from freshman Trinity Hassey (Westerville, OH), to make it 3-0 and Payten Davis completed her hat trick thanks to an unassisted marker with 17:14 left to play. Torres set the ﬁnal score with an unassisted goal of her own exactly ﬁve minutes later. Freshman Jayla Brown (Chillicothe, OH) stopped six shots in goal for Rio, notching the ﬁrst shutout of her collegiate career. Savannah Jackson recorded a season-high 15 saves in a losing cause for Bearcats, her highest single-game total since stopping 16 shots in last season’s meeting with Rio Grande. Rio Grande returns to action on Thursday when it travels to Beckley, W.Va. for a meeting with conference rival West Virginia University-Tech. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. at the YMCA/Paul Cline Soccer Complex. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

And then, a couple of hours and several innings later, as Tanner Rainey, Sean Doolittle and Daniel Hudson were protecting a shrinking lead, those same spectators stood and shouted and reveled some more. “I just kept counting down: We’re 12 outs from the World Series.
