Athey Athey also pleaded guilty to stealing a debit card. In September of last year, Athey moved to help an elderly woman exiting the Gallipolis Walmart to place groceries into her car. As Athey unloaded groceries, the woman placed her purse in the vehicle and moved back to her grocery cart. Video evidence shows Athey grabbing the purse before ﬂeeing. The woman turned to see her purse missing. “Under Ohio law in most instances, these crimes would only carry probation,” Adkins said. “However, since the defendant had a prior felony conviction from 2011 for possession of drugs, we were able to pursue prison time. The maximum term of incarceration for ﬁfth-degree felonies is 12 months. Through plea negotiations with defense counsel, we agreed to 11 months for each crime to be served consecutive to one another for a total prison term of 22 months.” Adkins said these crimes are driven by drugs. The majority of thefts, burglaries and breaking -and-entering crimes in Gallia County that he handles are related to narcotic addictions. Dean Wright can be reached at (740) 4462342, Ext. 2103. Pink With Purpose clinic set for Feb. 24 By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — There is something to be said for the power of healing. That is the message that Pink With Purpose, part of the Meigs County Initiative, will be sharing as they host a celebratory breast cancer survivor workshop Feb. 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Farmers Bank meeting room on Main Street in Pomeroy. The workshop will be showcasing services to help attendees on their journey to heal the body, mind and spirit. “In the past, we’ve had some breast cancer survivor workshops where lots of doctors came in to talk about radiation,” Heidi Rittenour, registered nurse, said. “We decided this year we wanted to take a different approach.” Both Rittenour and Carolyn Grueser, breast screening coordinator, run the Pink With Purpose Program, which is funded by Susan G. Komen Columbus. During this speciﬁc workshop, there will be people there to talk about music therapy, massage therapy and homeopathic therapy, among others. There will also be a catered lunch. “They’re not treatments of cancer, but they’re things to help you during the healing process because we feel so many times that these things focus on the medical part, and we wanted to talk about, ‘Hey, let’s talk about feeling good again.’” The duo are also going to invite several local hospital/medical ofﬁcials to talk to those currently going through treatment or survivors about what treatment options are out there. Alongside the workshop, Rittenour said the duo have again applied for their annual Susan G. Komen Columbus grant, and said this year’s Pink With Purpose program will be a bit different, as the grant they applied for this year is called a navigation grant. “Basically what that means is our job is going to be more focused on healing ladies, helping them get mammograms, making appointments for them, ﬁnding doctors helping them get to followup appointments and helping them with gas (costs),” Rittenour said. “We’re going to link them to other grants and programs that help them ﬁnd ﬁnancial assistance. “The theory is that, in the past, so many See CLINIC | 5A Crashes may prompt investigation By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL — A group of citizens concerned about the intersection of state routes 554 and 160 and what they consider to be a high volume of crashes in the area has sparked the Ohio Department of Transportation into investigating trafﬁc ﬂow in the area. Kelly McGuire is a Gallia County parent of a young woman who traveled through the same intersection a few weeks ago and suffered a collision coming through the crossroads. After a crash Monday involving a pickup truck and a sedan resulted in one girl being airlifted to Cabell Huntingon Hospital in Huntington, W.Va., McGuire started a Facebook group that attracted 1100 members within two days. McGuire aims to have members sign a petition asking for a stoplight or other such signage to be added to the intersection. She named her Facebook group “Save Lives … Fight for a Light.” Members have since started sharing stories, photos and concerns with drivers traveling at what group members claim as high rates of speed and practicing dangerous driving techniques through the intersection. The intersection also plays host to The Korner Convenience Store and Restaurant, which serves as a popular location for travelers, locals and students. River Valley middle and high schools are just a short jog from the intersection., which is located roughly a mile north of the schools’ main entrance that connects with State Route 160. During bus delivery times, drivers are mandated to travel at 20 mph. Other times, the standard speed limit traveling both state routes is 55 mph. State Route 160 runs continuously through the intersection while State Route 554 has two stop signs to control drivers. According to Ohio State Highway Patrol Statistical Analysis Unit records, there have been no fatalities at the intersection as far back as 2009. That year, records show two injury crashes. In 2010, there were ﬁve injury crashes and one property damage crash. In 2011, one crash injured an individual and two property damage crashes were recorded. Records show for 2012 that two injury crashes and two property damage crashes occurred. Three injury crashes and two property damage crashes were recorded in 2013. Records for 2014 say that the intersection played host to ﬁve separate injury crashes as well as two property damage crashes. Last year, records show there being one injury crash and two property damage crashes. As of this year, there have been only two injury crashes. Total collisions over the time period in question is 33, with 21 injury crashes and 12 property damage crashes. Kelly McGuire told the Daily Tribune she thinks it is a matter of time before a student is killed in the intersection due to congested trafﬁc conditions before and after school — or because of irresponsible driving. Lt. Max Norris, commander of the Ohio Highway State Patrol post on Jackson Pike, said it is the agency’s highest priority to keep individuals safe on the road while enforcing existing laws and preventing dangerous situations. Local troopers do the best they can within the resources allowed to them and will investigate areas they consider See INVESTIGATION | 5A Scam threatens Wolfe Mountain — NEWS Obituaries: 2A Opinion: 4A Weather: 6A By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com — SPORTS Basketball: 1B Schedule: 1B — FEATURES Classified: 5B Television: 2C Comics: 3C Dean Wright | Sunday Times-Sentinel Gallia Local School District buses travel through the intersection of state routes 554 and 160 after school Thursday afternoon.

POMEROY — Wolfe Mountain Entertainment opened last June with the goal of “Bringing Magic Home.” Just when the dream of having a such a magical place in Meigs County seemed to be coming to fruition, a scam is threatening to bring their plans to a halt. WME owners Bruce Wolfe and Dan Dunham worked for many years at various positions with the Walt Disney Co. for many years and dreamed of opening their own special place where families could celebrate life’s events with a touch of Disney magic. Wolfe, a Meigs County native, wanted to establish the venue in his hometown. They found the former Pomeroy High School in need of much repair, but decided it was just the right place to establish Wolfe Mountain Entertainment. The Walt Disney Co. contracted with WME as a consultant for parade operations, building on the relationship both Wolfe and Dunham had with the company. As a result of their relationship, they would be able to offer Disneythemed events. With an emphasis on exceptional customer care, their plans included hosting individually designed parties, weddings, graduations, anniversaries and reunions. Upstairs classrooms were to be used for educational courses in the performance arts, painting, crafts, music and dance.

Created in 1926, this event coincides with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln on Feb. 12 and Frederick Douglass on Feb. 14. African American communities have celebrated these birthdays together since the late 19th century. Honoring our shared history and reﬂecting on the past is one way we unify as a nation. We remember that we are all Americans — we believe in freedom and democracy for all. Another shared belief is that we all deserve a comfortable retirement, free of economic hardship. Social Security has retirement beneﬁts and the tools to help you plan for your retirement and to apply for beneﬁts online. We also provide disability beneﬁts to individuals with medical conditions that prevent them from working. If the disabled individual has dependent family members, they can also receive payments. If you or anyone you know is disabled, they may qualify for disability beneﬁts. Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a 1-in-4 chance of becoming disabled before reaching full retirement age. You can see if you meet our strict deﬁnition of disabled and also apply for disability beneﬁts at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi/apply.html. Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors beneﬁts. Social Security helps by providing income for the families of workers who die. In fact, 98 of every 100 children could get beneﬁts if a working parent dies. And Social Security pays more beneﬁts to children than any other federal program. You can learn more about Social Security survivors beneﬁts at www. socialsecurity.gov/survivors. Honoring each other begins with fair and equal treatment. Social Security guarantees that, if you pay into the system, you will have the same beneﬁts as everyone else. This Black History Month, we want to make sure our diverse nation is covered and that no one is left out of the beneﬁts they deserve. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov to learn more.

We decided I should take the other boys home and notify Mort and Gordy’s parents while Rod took the two boys to the sheriff’s ofﬁce to get them separated. When I checked later, I learned that the only thing the sheriff’s ofﬁce was able to do was cut the chain connecting the handcuffs. Eventually, Rod took the boys to the ﬁre department, and they used equipment for cutting into cars to remove the handcuffs. “I hope they’ve learned their lessons,” I said. Rod laughed. “Not likely.

High blood pressure isn’t just a dangerous risk; the American Heart Association says it’s a disease affecting 1 out of 3 adults in the United States. The higher the numbers, the higher the chances you’ll end up also battling heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and more. Because we care so much about this community, all of the physicians, nurses, and staff at Pleasant Valley Hospital are concerned with keeping our hearts pumping strong. Don’t forget: cardiologists will always encourage you to stay active, free of stress and consuming healthy foods. However, if your doctor has concerns over your rising blood pressure, ask to speak to us directly at 304-6751484 to see how we can put a stop to this silent killer.

David Rose, a public information ofﬁcer with ODOT, said the government organization is in the process of investigating short- and long-term solutions to address public concerns. He said the agency is in the midst of placing 48-inch LED light stop signs along State Route 554, after which, the organization is discussing a plan for a “full-blown” trafﬁc study to determine driver behavior and the ﬂow of vehicles moving through the area. According to Rose, while ODOT is a type of engineering ﬁrm that deals in roadway design, it is “difﬁcult to engineer driver behavior.” There will always be drivers that drive irresponsibly.

Business was going well, so it was not out of the ordinary when a man who identiﬁed himself as “Doug Arnold” contacted WME in October and indicated his desire to plan an anniversary party. “He was very speciﬁc with his plans,” Wolfe said. “From what kind of cake he wanted to the photographer. He was very speciﬁc about the menu, the color scheme. He was very detailed in plans for the party. He was in daily contact with us.” A contract for services to be provided to “Doug Arnold” was sent, signed and returned. “Arnold” then began paying WME through their online business account using credit Courtesy photos cards. Assuming the This pirate was part of the takeover at a recent Fairytale Luncheon charges were veriﬁed by the credit card processing company before the money was released into their account, Wolfe and Dunham began paying the caterers, transportation services and photographers for the event. Orders were placed for linens and party decorations, and work began to improve the kitchen area for the event. During this time, “Arnold” increased the number of guests for the party from 90 to 250, and indicated he wanted to begin planning for other events, including a birthday party and family reunion to celebrate his brother’s return from Iraq. The ﬁrst event was scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend; WME received a call on Monday from “Arnold” saying the party had to be postponed due to a death in the family. While Wolfe and Dunham scrambled to reschedule the event, they received three emails from the credit card processing company that some of the charges made by “Arnold” were in dispute. “We tried to contact him and his number was disconnected,” Wolfe said. “He completely disappeared.

Wolfe and Dunham have hired an attorney to handle the matter and the Pomeroy Police Department is proceeding with an investigation. “We are a ﬂedgling business and we cannot handle this amount of debt,” Wolfe and Dunham said. “How can we move ahead when this is hanging over us. We have lim- ited choices. If money has to be paid back, we just don’t have it.” In the meantime, “the show must go on.” WME will be hosting River City Players’ performance of “Murder at Cafe Noir.” They will continue with movie night, dance night, and planned Princess events as they await the outcome of the investigation. “We are still open for business,” Wolfe said. “The magic will continue as long as we can manage to do so.

After only eight points in the opening quarter — followed by 38 in the middle two cantos — the Spartans scored just nine in the fourth period, including a Jake Weaver three-pointer that gave them their 49-46 edge only 30 seconds in. Seth Richardson tied the game at 51-51 at the ﬁve-minute mark, as Alexander took its ﬁnal lead just 15 seconds later on a bucket by Cory Chapman. However, Alexander’s only other ﬁeld goal of the quarter came with 19.5 seconds left off a steal and hoop by Kyle Howard. The Spartans struggled shooting from the perimeter against the Marauders’ zone defenses. They were 7-of-20 from outside the arc for the entire game, going 12-of-32 from the ﬁeld in the ﬁrst half. Fry said “we threw the kitchen sink at them (Spartans) defensively.” “Late in the game, our 3-2 zone is what seemed to be working so we stayed with that,” he said.

The Eastern girls basketball team forced nine turnovers over the ﬁnal eight minutes of Thursday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tilt with visiting Trimble, allowing the Lady Eagles to secure the 45-36 victory at ‘The Nest’. Eastern (15-6, 13-3 TVC Hocking) jumped out to a 9-6 lead through the ﬁrst four minutes of play, but the Green and Gold were held to just two points over the ﬁnal four minutes of the opening stanza, as the Lady Tomcats (10-10, 7-8) battled back to take a 13-11 lead. The Lady Eagles scored the ﬁrst nine points of the second quarter, making the EHS lead 20-13 with ﬁve minutes remaining in the ﬁrst half. However, Trimble ended the half with an 11-2 run and a 24-22 advantage. Eastern grabbed a twopoint, 26-24 lead within the opening minute of the second half, but Trimble quickly regained the advantage with a 5-0 run. EHS outscored its guest 11-to-2 over the ﬁnal four minutes of the third quarter and took a 37-31 lead into the ﬁnale. The Lady Eagles made just 2-of-9 free throws in the ﬁnal quarter, but the Lady Tomcats failed to take advantage, committing nine turnovers in the period and allowing EHS to seal the 45-36 victory. “In the second half we just started stepping up and playing a little bit harder,” said Eastern assistant coach Tim Baum, who ﬁlled in as head coach in the absence of John Burdette. “In the ﬁrst half, we didn’t apply that much pressure and we kind of sat back two steps away. We decided that we had to come out with a little more pressure and just went after it.” EHS junior Laura Pullins led the Lady Eagles with 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists, while fellow junior Hannah Bailey chipped in with six points. Jess Parker and Rebecca Pullins both scored ﬁve points, Elizabeth Collins and Alyson Bailey each added four, while Kelsey Casto rounded out the EHS scoring with two markers. Defensively, Parker led the Green and Gold with four steals, while Alyson Bailey ﬁnished with three steals. Collins rejected three shots for the hosts, while Laura Pullins came away with one steal and one block. For the game, Eastern shot just 5-of-13 (38.5 percent) from the free throw line and 18-of-41 (43.9 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 4-of-14 (28.6 percent) from beyond the arc.

Eastern also defeated the Lady Tomcats on January 4, by a 57-20 count in Glouster. “We tell them over and over that we never overlook anybody at anytime,” Baum said. “I knew coming in here that it was going to be a tough one, because Trimble has been playing better basketball. They’re a nice team and Kish is very hard to stop, as you could see tonight.” EHS will return to action on Saturday in the sectional ﬁnal at Meigs High School, where the second-seeded Lady Eagles will take on the winner seventh-seeded Ironton St. Joe and the 10-seed Miller. The Lady Eagles have defeated both the Lady Flyer and Lady Falcons this season. “We have a long break and we can get a little bit of rest,” Baum said. “We have to go back and work on the simple things, our rebounding, defense and applying some more pressure when we need to.” Alex Hawley can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2100.

Unfortunately for River Valley, it couldn’t tighten its defense against the Nelsonville-York Buckeyes. As a result, the visiting Lady Buckeyes pulled away in the second half, and handed the Lady Raiders a hard-fought 67-55 loss on Thursday night. With the defeat, River Valley concluded its regular season at 10-12 — and 4-8 in the TVC-Ohio. Thursday also marked Senior Night at RVHS, as a quartet of Lady Raiders — Courtney Smith, Shelby Brown, Tianna Qualls and Leia Moore — were honored before the game. Nelsonville-York, meanwhile, was one of three TVC-Ohio teams to ofﬁcially share the league championship. The Buckeyes, along with Alexander and Vinton County, all ﬁnished at 10-2 to become tri-champs. For N-Y, it is the program’s ﬁrst league championship since 2005. Nelsonville-York is now 14-6, but had to work for its share of the champi- onship — unlike Vinton County and Alexander. Also on Thursday night, Vinton County captured an easy 50-24 win over Athens, while Alexander overwhelmed Wellston 69-31. In fact, the Lady Raiders led 31-29 with three minutes and 15 seconds remaining before halftime, and trailed only 37-36 with six minutes and 50 seconds to play in the third quarter. But by outscoring River Valley 19-9 in that stanza, the Buckeyes eventually built their lead to 54-41 following three quarters — before the lead soon swelled to 64-50 with only 1:26 to go. For the game’s ﬁnal 13 minutes and 50 seconds, the Raiders were never within a single point. In fact, their smallest deﬁcit in the ﬁnal 12:05 was 47-41 at the fourminute mark of the third — when Qualls completed an old-fashioned threepoint play. River Valley coach Sarah Evans-Moore said the second half was simply a matter of not getting the necessary defensive stops. “We played hard and did a lot of good things tonight, but we really struggled to get some defensive stops when we needed to,” she said. “We really struggled with our River Valley was actually even better at 63-percent (21-of-33), but made seven fewer ﬁeld goals. Cameron Dupler drained two threes, Brooke Campbell chipped in ﬁve points, Sydney Fick made a trey, Hannah Taylor tallied a deuce, and Mary Kate McCulloch canned a free throw to round out Nelsonville-York.

All four of them, any parent would love to have them as a daughter. They are just great kids,” she said. “It’s been a pleasure to spend time with them and work with them over the last six years, since I worked with them in junior high. I’m proud of their effort.” However, the Lady Raiders’ campaign is not yet done. River Valley, the seventh seed in the Athens High School sectional, faces 10th-seeded Wellston in the Division III sectional semiﬁnals on Wednesday night. The Raiders swept the Golden Rockets (1-20) in the regular season, most recently winning 60-37 exactly three weeks ago. “We’ll focus on Wellston in the tournament now. We’ve beat them twice, but we’re not looking past them,” said Evans-Moore. “Hopefully, we’ll come out with a win for the third time and advance to the sectional ﬁnal.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Defenders rally past WCC WOMEN’S SERVICES start the fourth period, the Wildcats claimed their ﬁnal advantage of the WILLIAMSTOWN, night at 44-43.

Shown representing the Claflin Foundation are Stephen Littlepage, administrator, left, and Wetzel “Doc” Fields. A little guidance Grant to assist counseling program at elementary school By Mindy Kearns For Ohio Valley Publishing NEW HAVEN — Oftentimes, it is difﬁcult explaining what are typically adult situations to children in a way that they can understand. But it is something Dee Ingels does every day. Ingels is the counselor at New Haven Elementary School, serving approximately 500 children in pre-school through sixth grade. Each year, she is given mandated topics she must discuss with the students, with this year’s being suicide prevention for the upper grades. The counselor recently received a grant from the Robert and Louise Claﬂin Foundation that will help make the job easier. The grant was presented by Stephen Littlepage, administrator of the foundation, and will be used to develop age-appropriate curriculum for the sensitive topic, Ingels said. She not only guides the students in situations that occur outside of the school, but also in intervention areas including social skills and effective education, which includes behavior. “This grant will allow me to get supplies for children that will teach them how to get along with others, organizational skills, and how to set goals,” Ingels said. She said she is grateful to the Claﬂin Foundation for the grant award, adding one DVD for counseling usually costs up to $139. With having so many children at multiple grade levels, costs can quickly add up, Ingels said. The counselor said she has built upon her curriculum over the last 13 years, but the addition of the grant money allows her to introduce new programs.

Today, she sees more intermingling and variety. Many of these projects have books covering the material from 4-H through The Ohio State University, but many students also create projects based on their own idea of what they want to complete, called “selfdetermined” projects. Browning said that her club members will most likely begin regular fair meetings in March, which will allow the kids to learn new skills and, more importantly, interact with one another through 4-H. This, she said, will prepare them for whatever they meet in the future. “It’s very family-oriented,” Browning said. “There are so many things (today) that pull them away from the family, so it’s just really a good thing to be able to do.” Reach Lindsay Kriz at 740-992.2155 EXT. 2555. �LOCAL 2C Sunday, February 7, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Vanco honored with cattlemen’s club scholarship Staff Report quet in Lewis Center.
