MIDDLEPORT — Questions arose as to the value of investing in an outdated plant in southeastern Ohio after Nidec Corp. of Japan acquired Akron-based Imperial Electric Co. in 2012. The Middleport facility needed state-of-the-art equipment and improvements to play a key role in the expanding elevator industry. After careful consideration of factors such as the plant’s central location, its highly trained workforce, and support from government, business and community leaders, Nidec made the decision to keep the facility open. Meigs County JobsOhio, a private nonprofit designed to drive job creation and new capital investment, and AEP Ohio, a unit of American Electric Power, were among the organizations instrumental in convincing Imperial Electric to make the needed investment with their commitment of grants for $200,000 and $50,000, respectively. A strong show of support was given by county and statewide officials. Nidec officials say their $3.2 million Middleport investment reflects Nidec’s commitment to establishing their reputation as a global leader in the production of elevator systems. Pradeep Sood, president of Nidec Corp.’s elevator and drive systems business platform, stated the company was happy with the investment. “We’re already seeing benefits of our strategy to modernize the Middleport facility, taking advantage of its central location and highly skilled workforce,” he said . “Thanks to the timely Nidec investments and the support we received from JobsOhio and AEP Ohio, we’re well on our way to offering a broader range of elevator products to our customers and growing with them in this important North American elevator market.” Mostly local contractors and services were used in the expansion project that led to the creation of 18 new jobs at the factory. A new product line of elevator hoist-way equipment and sling platforms also will be produced at the plant, and officials are confidant this will have a major economic impact in Meigs County.

College funds help students in emergencies Investment From Page 1 A ribbon-cutting ceremony was conducted Tuesday to “celebrate the expansion of the plant and the future economic opportunities that it brings to the region,” according to Nidec officials. U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson attended Tuesday’s ceremony and said, “Today’s announcement illustrates that Nidec knows what we all know — that workers in southeastern Ohio measure up against workers anywhere in the world when given the chance.” Johnson went on to say, “This news of the major investment in the facility, the vote of confidence in the existing, well-trained employees, and the added jobs are great news for Middleport and the region’s economy.

They were pulled down and the page apologized. Twitter got caught in a similar controversy after racial posts about “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones, who is black, included a Harambe comparison.

The Board of Meigs County Commissioners would like to express our appreciation to Nidec Corp. for their commitment to this facility and Meigs County.” “Nidec Corp.’s investment in facility upgrades and state of the art equipment will help make Imperial Electric’s Meigs County plant a more competitive operation and provide more jobs for Ohioans,” said Glenn Richardson, JobsOhio managing director for advanced manufacturing. He said the commitment will strengthen Nidec’s overall presence in Ohio, where it currently operates 12 facilities. John Molinaro, president and CEO of the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth, cited the JobsOhio-APEG partnership with Imperial Electric as an example of working together to create jobs and grow the economy. “Imperial Electric is an important employer in the region and Ohio, and their demonstration of confidence to reinvest and expand their Meigs County facility will have a major impact on the area and region.” “We are proud to work with Nidec, JobsOhio and local officials to support the renovation of the Imperial Electric Plant,” said Julie Sloat, AEP Ohio president and COO. She credited AEP Ohio’s extensive economic development experience “partnered with our strong relationships, both locally and throughout the state” as resulting “in a collaboration that not only enables this facility to be more competitive, but keeps jobs where they are needed most.” Contact Lorna Hart at 740-9922155, Ext. 2551. 10:30 Person of Interest Interest "Terra Incognita" 18 (WGN) Bl.

The ruling issued Tuesday says the township leaders near Toledo violated a law that says a township office can’t be deemed vacant when an official is in active military service. Spencer Township board members called an emergency meeting at the end of last year to vacate the seat of the deployed trustee who in September was sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. They then filled the seat with a board member who had lost his seat in November’s election. The state supreme court’s ruling says that the trustee appointed to the seat should no longer be allowed to stay in the office. Panel stalls new charter-school evaluation system in Ohio wants a settlement reached in the case of a newspaper suing a coroner for autopsy records in the unsolved slayings of eight people from one family. A complaint by The Columbus Dispatch that is before the court alleges the Pike County coroner is improperly withholding the final autopsy records. The coroner says the autopsies are “confidential law enforcement investigatory records” that aren’t subject to public records laws. Ohio’s attorney general says he supports that position to avoid jeopardizing chances of catching the killers. The court on Tuesday ordered the case to mediation. The Cincinnati Enquirer has filed a similar lawsuit, which is also in mediation. Seven adults and a teenage boy from the Rhoden family were found shot at four homes near Piketon on April 22. Zoo Twitter account gone amid Harambe comments CINCINNATI (AP) — The Twitter account of an Ohio zoo targeted by online critics and trolls over the shooting of a gorilla has been taken down. The Cincinnati Zoo has said it’s not amused by the memes, online petitions and signs about Harambe, a 17-year-old great ape killed in May by a special zoo response team after a 3-year-old boy got into his enclosure. Harambe has been mourned, memorialized and satirized nearly continuously since his death. Those seeking the zoo’s Twitter site Tuesday got a message saying, “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!” Zoo director Thane Maynard recently told The Associated Press by email that the zoo family is “still healing.” A request for comment was sent Tuesday to a zoo spokeswoman. COLUMBUS (AP) — A Republican-dominated state legislative committee has delayed rules that the Ohio Department of Education needs so it can set up a tough new sponsor evaluation system aimed at making Ohio’s charter schools more accountable. The Columbus Dispatch reports new sponsor evaluations were supposed to come on line in October but their timing’s now uncertain. In a party-line vote Monday, the Legislature’s rulemaking panel sent the rules to a body that assesses potentially detrimental effects that state actions have on businesses. The Common Sense Initiative has 30 days for a review. Portions of the charter-school community had been fighting elements of the proposal. The department is required under legislation passed last year to establish evaluations based on academic performance, adherDAYTON (AP) — Public documents show a man ence to best practices and compliance with state laws accused of fatally shooting three people was hearing and rules. voices when he was at a behavioral health care facility the day of the Ohio shootings.

Coroner IDs Ohio man in fatal skydiving accident MIDDLETOWN (AP) — Authorities have identified a man who died after opening his main and reserve parachutes too late while skydiving over the weekend at a southwest Ohio airport. The Butler County coroner on Monday said 47-year-old Jeffrey Rives plunged to his death Sunday morning at Middletown Regional Airport. Drop Zone owner John Hart II says the Mason man had made 95 previous jumps. Hart says Rives deployed his main parachute under the recommended altitude limit of 3,500 feet and opened his reserve parachute too late as well. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident. Man gets life behind bars in slaying over missing dog COLUMBUS (AP) — A man has been sentenced to life behind bars in the slaying of a 21-year-old man in Columbus last year that authorities say stemmed from a missing dog. The Columbus Dispatch reports 19-year-old Gino Griggs pleaded guilty Monday to murder in the death of Ja’Quan Tucker. He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years. Prosecutors say the July 2015 shooting stemmed from an incident months earlier. Authorities say puppies had been sold for $50 but the last of them came up missing and Tucker was suspected of stealing it. Investigators say Griggs jumped into a car that Tucker was in and an altercation led to gunfire that killed Tucker. Defense attorney Christopher Cooper apologized to the victim’s family on behalf of Griggs. When schools are threatened, untold learning time is lost COLUMBUS — The prosecutor calls it “bomb week,” his shorthand for eight school threats — many written in school bathrooms or on notes — over a few days in May that set off evacuations and investigations, parental panic, and the rumor mill of students linked by cellphones and social media in his Ohio county. Track athletes missed an end-of-season competition, and some high schoolers started carrying their car keys with them instead of leaving them in lockers, just in case, Warren County prosecutor David Fornshell said. One mother complained that a girl who uses an insulin pump had taken it off for gym class and had to evacuate without it. “Nobody who sends their kids to school should have to go through that kind of stress and that type of disruption,” Fornshell said. Such violent or disruptive threats are increasing nationwide, according to police, school employees, security consultants and others, blamed sometimes on local students and sometimes on outsiders seeking to cause disruptions or a big emergency response. State and local agencies don’t track the threats, meaning there’s no formal accounting of the collective costs. The disruptions typically aren’t long enough to merit makeup classes, but the learning time lost to evacuations and cancellations adds up, as do the hours police spend responding and investigating. Less measurable but still significant are the ways threats can dent staff and students’ sense of security even when they’re false alarms, as they almost always are. “Schools are in a really bad position,” said researcher Amy Klinger, of the nonprofit Educator’s School Safety Network. “People are going to be mad if you evacuate; people are going to be upset if you don’t evacuate.” The number of school bomb threats the last academic year alone, based on media reports, was at least 1,267, roughly twice as many as in 201213, said Klinger, who also teaches educational administration at Ohio’s Ashland University. Her group estimates there were about eight bomb threats per school day last year, and that doesn’t include other threats of violence and disruption. Massachusetts had the most in that tally at 135 bomb threats, followed by Ohio with 96. Because administrators and police can’t simply ignore threats , they grapple with the fallout while trying to deter copycats. In Ohio, more than 170 school threats were reported in the 2015-16 school year, according to an Associated Press tally based on police updates and media coverage. Threats of bombs, shootings and unspecified violence were called in, written as notes, scrawled on walls and shared via social media and apps. Over 100 Ohio public school districts, or roughly one in every six districts, dealt with at least one threat, as did a handful of private and charter schools and several college-level facilities. Ohio-based consulting firm National School Safety and Security Services had flagged the state as having more school threats — 64 — than any other state in the first half of the previous academic year. The firm said it studied over 800 threats around the country in that period, up from 315 in a similar span a year earlier. At least a couple of the recent Ohio threats occurred one day in late May when dozens of threats were made against schools nationwide as officials investigated whether it might be a case of “swatting,” when hoaxers playing online games anonymously make threats online or by phone to trigger big responses from police and SWAT teams. Some of those schools evacuated; others didn’t. Months earlier, an email threatening a large-scale jihadi attack had prompted the Los Angeles Unified School District to cancel classes for a day in December, while school officials in New York City quickly dismissed a similar email as a hoax. Schools where students and visitors entered freely a decade or two ago now have surveillance cameras, locked doors and special security procedures. The National Association of School Resource Officers estimates the number of such officers in schools has grown to between 14,000 and 20,000, some armed. And teachers are sometimes perceived as first responders. Lawmakers in Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and elsewhere have explored strengthening penalties for school threats. In Ohio, lawmakers are proposing legislation to let schools expel students for months for making certain kinds of threats and have them evaluated to determine whether they’re a danger to themselves or others. The bill, supported by associations representing school boards, superintendents and school business managers, also would let districts and law enforcement agencies seek restitution from a student’s parents for the costs of responding to their threat. One supporter of the measure, Hilliard Superintendent John Marschhausen, whose suburban Columbus district had a student accused of threatening a school shooting, described threats “an all too frequent reality.” STIHL BG 50 SALE $139 The lightest gasoline-powered handheld blower HOGG AND ZUSPAN HARDWARE 312 6th St, Point Pleasant, WV 25550 Mason, WV 25260 (304) 675-8989 (304) 773-5554 Real Estate Auction Mortgage Foreclosure Court of Common Pleas, Meigs County, Ohio Peoples Bank fka Peoples Bank, National Association, Plaintiff vs. Rex H.

Running up to the games (no pun intended), stories abounded as to the conditions athletes would experience at their respective venues and in their living quarters. Some of which proved to be true, albeit not as dire as foretold. Other stories, though entertaining, were just plain bogus. One of those bogus stories revolved around a kayaker hitting a sofa just under the water in Guanabara Bay during a practice run. By most accounts, official and unofficial, that didn’t happen. Although there were images of a couple sofas sitting on the bank, those sofas had apparently made it to shore before the kayaks came along. It’s a funny story, unless one is Brazilian. And, although there were enough real stories of things in the water — plastic bags, human sewage and television sets — to make a tale of hitting a sofa plausible, this one didn’t happen. Another tale that proved to be false was the one told by U.S. swimmers about being robbed at gunpoint. It is disappointing on many levels and likely to be one of the most remembered storylines of the Olympiad. Local officials went after Ryan Lochte and his cohorts aggressively when they determined their tale was a lie. It’s probable Rio officials were out to prove to the world they were not the lawless wasteland being portrayed but which so many probably nodded their heads with an “I told you so” attitude. Officials probably had more than a little righteous indignation in their efforts to set the record straight. The International Olympic Committee, which governs the games, shoulders a fair share of blame for selecting cities that are unqualified as venues for such a massive undertaking. Many of the same complaints about readiness of facilities were also heard at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. One could make the case the committee is attempting to be fair to everyone in selecting such places as Sochi and Rio, but a similar case could be made about the unfairness of expecting these places to provide world-class facilities to worldclass athletes. Another case can be made that the committee was demonstrating its political correctness in choosing such venues. By sheer count of medals, U.S. athletes gave a good account of themselves, again. There were the expected wins — U.S. basketball — and unexpected wins — Katie Ledecky and the Final Five — to make Americans feel good about themselves, even if vicariously. Many of us only watch certain events during Olympic competition, or in the case of soccer, the World Cup. The games serve as a reminder that athletes come in all shapes, sizes and skills. Despite the challenges, Rio pulled it off and should feel good about itself. There are still problems in Rio, but for the most part, the city and country withstood most of the scrutiny from the world’s media. The Daily Sentinel welcomes letters to the editor.

One man was sent back to prison, others to community service. Most were succeeding and received applause and encouragement from the dozens of people in the courtroom. And in Chillicothe, I visited the Adena Women’s Pregnancy Center and met with pregnant women and new moms who suffer from addiction — women like Elizabeth, who developed an addiction after she was prescribed morphine following surgery to remove her appendix. I also met Connie, who became addicted to prescription painkillers after breaking her arm. Both women are now sober and successful thanks to the doctors, counselors and volunteers at Adena. In Columbus, I visited the Hope Over Heroin event led by pastors from Ohio and Kentucky. Even with another day to go, they had already helped a number of people get into treatment. These visits showed me once again that there is hope for those who struggle with addiction. While the toll of this opioid addiction epidemic has been getting worse, not better, these success stories show how the right kind of treatment and recovery can work. I am encouraged by the positive examples I see in Ohio, and pleased that our new legislation, CARA, will support these successful programs and help write more of these Ohio success stories.

The girls are working hard and you can tell. It’s fun volleyball to watch and coach.” Eastern will continue nonleague play on Thursday when it visits Meigs.

Bolstered by a pair of scores in the 30s, the Gallia Academy golf team captured a dual match with Chesapeake on Monday — winning 167-192 at Esquire Country Club in Huntington.

The top five spots in the pre- By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — A tough day at the net did not bode well for the University of Rio Grande volleyball team, as the RedStorm closed out their season-opening trip to Florida with a pair of losses on Saturday. Head coach Billina Donaldson’s club dropped a four-set affair to Doane (Neb.) in its first outing (23-25, 25-16, 25-23, 25-15), before falling to host St. Thomas University in straight sets (25-13, 25-18, 25-20) in the STU Classic at the Fernandez Family Center. Rio Grande finished the weekend at 1-3. In the opener against Doane, the RedStorm won the opening set but piled up a season-high 29 attack errors and finished hitting just .087 for the match. Senior Kayla Briley and freshman Rachael Gilkey had 10 kills each to lead the way in a losing effort, while freshman McKenzie Steele added a team-high 19 assists and Briley finished with 12. Senior Chandler Brown had a match-best 17 digs to go along with two service aces, while Steele added 11 digs of her own. Erin Keetle and Kaitlyn Bradley led Doane with 17 and 15 kills, respectively, while Alex Neff tallied a match-high 41 assists. Erin Warren contributed 17 digs to the winning effort, while Bradley had 11 digs and Alexis Dale recorded six blocks. Against St. Thomas, Rio finished with just five more kills than attack errors (26-21) and had an attack percentage of .050. The RedStorm had eight errors in each of the first two sets. Briley had a team-high seven kills and 11 assists in the loss, while Steele had 10 assists and Brown had 16 digs. Gilkey added four blocks in a losing cause. St. Thomas got 12 kills and 10 digs from Marisa Markus, while Dana Nowaczyk and Priscila Ertty had 16 and 11 assists, respectively.

De Hoog leads RedStorm past Wolves For Ohio Valley Publishing CHICAGO, Ill. — Jeremy de Hoog scored one goal and assisted on another as topranked University of Rio Grande upended Cardinal Stritch (Wis.) University, 2-1, in nonconference men’s soccer action Sunday afternoon at Toyota Park. The RedStorm improved to 2-0 with the victory, spoiling the Wolves’ season opener in the process. Junior Jorge Guinovart gave Rio a 1-0 lead when he scored off of a corner kick by de Hoog in the game’s 22nd minute. The Wolves knotted the score at 1-1 with just under eight minutes left before the intermission on a penalty kick by Scott Evans — and that’s how things stayed until de Hoog’s go-ahead score in the second stanza. The senior from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, who scored the game-winning goal for the RedStorm in last year’s national championship game, found the back of the net on a penalty kick of his own in the 67th minute. Rio Grande finished with a 14-6 edge in shots, including a 9-3 advantage in shots on goal. Sophomore net-minder Ben Martinez recorded three saves in the win for the RedStorm, while Bernie Macais had seven stops in a losing cause for Cardinal Stritch. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday night when it opens the home portion of its schedule against Indiana Wesleyan University. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Evan E.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, August 24, 2016 Daily Sentinel Registration open for Rio Fall Basketball Academy By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE — Registration is currently underway for the Rio Fall Basketball Academy, which will run for four consecutive Sundays beginning Sept. 11 and concluding on Oct. 2 at the Newt Oliver Arena. The league features two divisions — a senior division (10-foot goals) for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students and a junior division (9-foot goals) for third, fourth and fifth grade students — for both boys and girls. The league will also offer instruction in team concepts and fundamentals in a controlled game atmosphere. Each team will receive coaching instruction from the University of Rio Grande men’s and women’s basketball players. “We’ve developed the academy over the past few years as a way to promote the game of basketball,” said URG men’s basketball head coach Ken French. “It’s an hour of instruction and an hour of 5-on-5 game play. Our staff sets up the day, almost like a regular practice day or a camp day, and we try to teach them some things. The object is to not only improve, but for the kids to work on fine- tuning their fundamentals in the fall before the new season rolls around.” The session for boys will run from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m., while the girls session is set for 4 until 6 p.m. In addition to the instruction and game play, participants will receive a reversible jersey and a complimentary pass to regularseason home games. Cost is $75 per player, which can paid in advance or on the first Sunday of the academy. Space is very limited and participants are encouraged to register in advance. “The academy has been a great success for us in a ton of ways,” said Rio women’s basketball head coach David Smalley. “Number one, we create such a great relationship with the young girls who attend. We’ll have a handful of them come to our games and sit on the bench with us as an honorary coach, which is a great way to have fellowship and develop friendships. Plus, I think it’s great way for both the men’s and women’s programs to give back to the community. We saturate the area with our needs as far as fundraising goes and there are people who bend over backwards to help us out.
