Collins was ordered to serve 18 months in prison, the maximum penalty for a fourthdegree felony under Ohio law. He was ordered to forfeit $12,735 to the Ohio Organized Crimes Investigations Commission. Firearms located at Collins’ residence were ordered to not be in his possession upon his release from prison. “On March 5, 2016, a search warrant was prepared, signed and executed for a mobile home Collins located on Symmes Creek Road in Patriot (Greenfield township), Ohio,” said Gallia Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Eric Mulford. “Upon entering the residence, officers located 21 firearms in the living room along with several pills, including several pills and $12,735 cash. Several other individuals present inside the residence were detained and searched.” “The task force specifically located 16 30mg Oxycodone tablets,” Gallia Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Adkins said. “Based upon the significant U.S. currency inside the home, the pills located and the intelligence from recent occupants of the home, we pursued an indictment against the defendant for trafficking oxycodone, a felony of the fourth degree. Due to the fact that the defendant had a firearm on his person or under his control, the defendant was permitted to be sent to prison for the maximum term of 18 months.” Adkins said the money seized in forfeiture would be put back to work investing in Gallia County’s youth. Dean Wright | Ohio Valley Publishing The Gallipolis Developmental Center by Haskins Park in Gallipolis. 32 FT jobs eliminated at GDC By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Officials with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities said Friday they are eliminating 32 full-time positions from the Gallipolis Developmental Center. The positions, officials said, are part of a plan to streamline the work- force with the number of clients the Gallipolis facility serves. At present, officials said the workforce in Gallipolis doesn’t match with the number of people who live at the facility. Although 32 full-time positions will be eliminated by the first week of December, the state plans to turn 18 of those positions into parttime opportunities. According to John Martin, director of the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, GDC employees may have the option to stay on as parttime workers. The layoffs are expected to go into effect Dec. 10. “We had to deliver some very difficult news (Friday morning) at the Gallipolis Developmental Center,” Martin said. “We have, simply put, more staff than we need for the number of folks who live there. So, we made an announcement around 10 (a.m.).” Martin said along with the position changes, the state is offering an early retirement buyout. Martin said he believes 36 members of GDC See JOBS | 7A Property returned from AB&T robbery A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 6A Weather: 8A By Michael Hart For the Times-Sentinel B SPORTS High School: 1B-4B, 7B-8B Classifieds: 5B-7B C FEATURES Along the River: 1C,2C,4C Comics: 3C JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

RACINE — The investigation into an Aug. 9 robbery in Racine has returned more than $500 in property to its rightful owners. Racine Village Marshal Shane Bell reported information provided by the community led to a major development in the case. “There was a breaking and entering at the AB&T on Third Street in Racine, and merchandise was taken,” Bell said. Bell summarized the investigation since then, and said “items valued at $500 have been returned. Further investigation and charges are pending.” AB&T is a one-building auto repair and floral shop operated by wife and husband Beverly and Richard Moore. Beverly Moore said their first break-in in 22 years occurred overnight on Aug. 9. “They broke a Plexiglas window and unlocked the front door,” after failing to gain entry through the back and side doors, Beverly Moore said. She said she was thankful a larger glass window was not broken, and that the perpetrators did not enter the auto shop, and instead ransacked the floral section which contained retail merchandise like home decorations. Tires, tools and more valuable items were passed up for “lamps, crafts, candles, tart burners. See ROBBERY | 3A �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2A Sunday, August 28, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel OBITUARIES DELORES JEAN MASSIE ALVA BRIAN CLARK LANGSVILLE — Alva Brian Clark, 82 of Langsville, passed away from his earthly life and entered our Father’s Kingdom on Aug. 25, 2016, surrounded by his loving family. Alva was born on Feb. 9, 1934, in Pomeroy, to Fred and Dorothy (Brown) Clark. Alva has surviving siblings — Sue Ann (Harold) Roush, Chuck (Paula) Clark and Shelly (Wayne) Satterfield. The 1952 graduate of Pomeroy High School always had a need for speed, which led him to race motorcycles and sprint cars, and take to the skies with the Civil Air Patrol and later with his private aircraft. His working years were filled with long driven miles and hard hats worn while constructing buildings and bridges. He not only built bridges to span the expanses of a river, but also the gaps that sometimes are found in our hearts. Never one to meet a stranger, especially when strumming his old flat-top box, Alva had the ability to lift up the downtrodden and brokenhearted in a way that gave second chances to people who didn’t think they deserved them. This is the mark that he has left on the world as he found great joy in serving the Lord through various ministries within Meigs County and southeastern Ohio at large. He, at one time, was the director of the Mulberry Community Center and was the buildings manager. Alva was a board member of Gallia, Meigs and Lawrence County Farm Bureau, Gallia, Meigs and Jackson Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board and the Leading Creek Water Conservatory. He was also a member of the Carpenters Local 650 and Pomeroy Racine Masonic Lodge 164. He provided many years of service to the Meigs County Fair and he also made some mean barbecue chicken. On Jan. 23, 1971, he married Karen Sue (Bierhup) Clark, of Wellston, with whom he fathered Tara (John) McClintock, Beth Clark and Matt (Melissa) Clark. Alva also was the father to Mark Clark, Laura Thomas, Jennifer Clark and Natalie Morehead from a previous marriage to Phyllis Geogline. Alva was also the loving PawPaw to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “Uncle Oop,” for his propensity to climb trees as a youth, to his many nieces and nephews was a storyteller who loved to bring to life the past history of his family. Celebration services will be held at Ewing Funeral Home, 106 Mulberry Ave, Pomeroy, with calling hours between 6-8 p.m. Saturday Aug. 27, 2016, and funeral services at 2 p.m. Sunday, with Diana Kinder officiating. Graveside service will be held at Meigs Memory Gardens, 45065 Eagle Ridge Road, Pomeroy.

Box 173 Pomeroy, OH 45769 — nonprofit charitable 501c3.

We never thought we were going to see any of that back.” Bell said the crime was classified as breaking and entering, rather than burglary, because no one lived on the premises. “The building was unoccupied at night, and while the name makes it sound less invasive, they still broke in to steal things,” he said.

In affected schools, temperatures have easily been reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s in some classrooms, while other portions of the buildings are freezing. Unlike the days of “old,” school starts earlier than it used to for children (and adults) who were raised with air conditioning. Needless to say, students and staff have been making the best of it through some dog days of August. In addition, angry, impatient parents have been starting to voice their concerns, asking when the issues will be fixed and why they weren’t addressed sooner? The heat and humidity have caused students to be dismissed early, but this is a Catch 22 for the administration. Though it gets children out of the heat, it has left some parents without child care during a time kids are typically in school. On Friday, Superintendent Jack Cullen released a statement about the situation which has been affecting so many staff members and students. Cullen was personally visiting different schools on Friday as well, checking on the progress of repairs and consulting with administrators about the temporary arrangements in place, including the use of industrial fans and moving students to other areas within their own buildings to keep cool, until the situation is fixed for everyone. Cullen said, during the time the HVAC units have been down, he’s had daily conference calls with the contractor, subcontractors, and the Mason County School’s Maintenance Department to get continual updates on progress. At around noon on Friday, Cullen reported the air conditioning at Roosevelt Elementary had been repaired. Reach Beth Sergent at bsergent@ civitasmedia.com or on Twitter @ BSergentWrites. Beth Sergent | Register Wedge Auditorium at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School, pictured, has been one of the areas affected by HVAC units in need of repair, as have other classrooms in the school, though other areas are described as “freezing.” PPJ/SHS isn’t the only school affected, with Mason County Schools working to fix air conditioning issues across the county during some dog days of August.

John Kasich said he believes the state is making progress, despite the latest record death toll. “It makes me feel terrible, but what makes me feel good is how many people did not die because of our efforts,” he said Thursday at a special judicial summit on opioids in Cincinnati involving authorities from nine states. He said stepped-up prescription monitoring and new guidance for prescribers helped sharply reduce opioid doses dispensed in the state, and said Ohio has other action in the works to curb prescription drug misuse. He also wants more discussion about the AP photo Seeking to coordinate efforts to battle drug abuse in some of the hardest-hit U.S. states, state Supreme Court justices and other high-ranking officials were meeting in Cincinnati from Wednesday through Friday during a private conference opened by Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor of the Ohio Supreme Court dangers of drugs to reach children throughout their school years. The previous generation grew up accustomed to relatively easy access to prescrip- tion painkillers, which has fueled the overdose epidemic, the governor said. “These are battles that we need to win so that we can wage a more effective war,” Kasich said. Ohio has been among the states hardest hit by the overdose epidemic. Fentanyl overdose deaths spiked so quickly last year that scientists with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention visited the state to study the problem. States release overdose data at various times, and Ohio’s overall rank nationally wasn’t yet available. A record 47,055 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2014, according to the latest figures from the CDC. The number was up 7 percent from 2013, spurred by large increases in heroin and opioid painkiller deaths. Officials express hope See OVERDOSES | 8A WV Supreme Court of Appeals to conduct public session at Marshall Staff Report HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals returns to Marshall University’s Huntington campus Tuesday, Sept. 20, to conduct a session during which it will hear three appeals. The public is invited to attend the session, which begins at 10 a.m. in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center, and a reception honoring the justices, which will follow in the lobby. The court’s appearance will be its seventh at Marshall in the past 12 years and is one of many events to be staged during Marshall’s annual Constitution Week celebration, which this year begins Friday, Sept. 2, and runs through Friday, Sept. 23. Chief Justice Menis E. Ketchum II is a former chairman and member of Marshall University’s board of governors. Other justices are Brent D. Benjamin, Robin Davis, Margaret L. Workman and Allen H. Loughry II. The docket for the Supreme Court’s visit can be found at www. courtswv.gov/supremecourt/calendar/2016/dockets/sept-20-16ad.html. The three cases that will be heard are the following:State of West Virginia v. Ennis C. Payne II, No. 15-0289 - Petitioner appeals his jury conviction on the charges of felony murder and conspiracy to commit burglary. Petitioner contends that the trial court erred in refusing to suppress evidence that was illegally seized; in allowing peti- tioner to attend his trial in his prison attire and restraints; in refusing to change the venue of the trial; and cumulative error. WV Dept. of Transportation v. David King, Administrator, No. 15-0711 - Respondent’s mother was killed in an automobile accident with a licensed driver who had been diagnosed with epilepsy and had a history of seizures. Respondent sued Petitioner DMV because Petitioner DMV failed to refer the driver’s medical file to its Medical Advisory Board. Petitioner DMV appeals the denial of its motion for summary judgment in which it argued that referral to the Medical Advisory Board was a discretionary duty, and thus, it was entitled to qualified immunity. State of West Virginia v. Alvaro A. Vilela, No. 15-0581 - Petitioner appeals following a jury trial resulting in his conviction of kidnapping and attempted extortion. Petitioner was acquitted of felony assault during the commission of a felony, felony extortion, and fifteen misdemeanor counts of unlawful use of a credit card. Petitioner was sentenced to life in prison, with parole eligibility after ten years, to run consecutively with a one-year sentence for attempted extortion. “This is a unique opportunity for all Marshall students and faculty, as well as K-12 students and teachers, to witness the court in action as it hears and rules on these noteworthy appeals,” said Dr. Alan Gould, director of the university’s John Deaver Drinko Academy, which sponsors the Constitution Week activities. Constitution Week at Marshall is an annual observance to commemorate the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and to memorialize Chief Justice John Marshall, who is credited with helping define the Constitution and for whom the university is named. Gould said Constitution Week was started by the late U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd to draw attention to the importance of the document upon which the country’s system of government is based. He added, “Included within federal legislation passed in 2004 was a provision requiring educational institutions that receive federal funds to set some time aside on or near the September 17 anniversary of the document’s signing to study the United States Constitution.” Highlighting the other events planned during Marshall’s observation of Constitution Week is the popular annual quoits tournament. Quoits, a ring-toss game similar to horseshoes, was John Marshall’s favorite sport. On Friday, Sept 2, faculty, staff and students are encouraged to stop by Buskirk Field between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to sign up and practice for the annual Quoits Open Tournament, which will be played Sept. 6-9. Tournament participants will receive gifts, along with a chance to win bragging rights and a trophy, and the opportunity to advance to the President’s Invitational Quoits Tournament on Sept. 9 and the President’s Media Quoits Challenge on Sept. 23. For information, please contact the Drinko Academy at drinko@marshall.edu. At 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, just before the President’s Media Quoits Challenge begins, Marshall President Jerome A. Gilbert will cut the cake at the annual John Marshall Birthday Cake Ceremony on Buskirk Field. In addition to cake, kettle corn and punch will be served to the university community. Marshall alumnus Lt. Gen. Anthony Crutchfield, deputy commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, will be the guest speaker at the Robert C. Byrd Forum on Civic Responsibility. The forum, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Sept. 9 beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse. Here is a complete schedule of Constitution Week events:Sept. 2: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Quoits sign-ups. Sept. 6–9: Quoits Open Tournament; times will vary depending on students’ schedules.

There’s no other way to describe it. It is sometimes easy to see what’s not going well in our communities while failing to realize that there are still a lot of things going right. Just as the wide band of water running through our part of the world winds slowly, so too does progress in our rural communities. And, just like the Ohio River eventually arrives at its juncture with the Mississippi River, progress in our communities achieves its destination, too. The river slowly (most of the time) winds its way along and that’s the way progress seems to be taking place in the Ohio Valley. But make no mistake — progress is taking place. Gallipolis just broke ground on a $1 million-plus project to improve its riverfront by adding an amphitheater and improving access for boaters. It’s also worth noting that a Meigs County contractor, Pullins Excavation Inc., was engaged to do ground-prep work on the project. Gallipolis City Park, located adjacent to the river where the amphitheater is being built, already gets a lot of use. However, in case city leaders need any ideas, they only need to look to their neighbors across the river in Point Pleasant or up the river to Pomeroy. Both of these communities already do a good job utilizing riverfront space developed years ago. This addition to the city’s riverfront will go a long way toward providing even more opportunity for visitors to come to town. Also soon to open in the City of the Gauls is a new wellness — don’t call it a fitness — center. The Holzer Therapy & Wellness Center is located at 735 Second Ave. in the former Johnson Grocery Store. The project will approach $2 million once completely finished. This major undertaking is a collaboration of Holzer Heritage Foundation, Holzer Health System, outside donations from individuals and companies, and the Eastman family that donated the building. This week, Nidec Corp. announced its $3.2 million expansion and investment in Middleport’s Imperial Electric plant. That expansion added 18 new jobs to the local economy. It came about as a result of cooperation between local officials working with state officials and private industry. Nidec Corp.’s decision to expand in Middleport says a lot about the local workforce as well. It’s very likely Nidec had other options, but chose Middleport. Local leaders and residents have a lot to feel good about following this announcement. Point Pleasant has embarked on an effort to do something about older buildings in town that are an eyesore, unsafe and probably used for illegal activity. Four such structures have come down in the last four months. Mayor Brian Billings noted, “It’s a slow process.” True, mayor, but it’s a process moving in the right direction. Kudos to city leaders for leading from the front on this initiative. Judging from discussions during recent council meetings, the city isn’t finished with its cleanup efforts yet. To continue the analogy a little further, the Ohio River is persistent and it keeps moving along. So too, will efforts to improve life in our communities along the river’s banks.

THEIR VIEW Benefits of acknowledging the sin nature Twelve years without sugar. That has been the response of a very dear friend of mine to a meeting he had with his doctor 12 years ago. As the doctor stood before him, he delivered news that no one wants to hear; he was borderline diabetic and would need to start treatment. But my friend is a man with two qualities everyone needs — wisdom and discipline. He told the doctor to give him a month and let him see what he could do with diet and exercise alone. After a month of no sugar and daily exercise, his numbers were far more normal. And thus it is that, 12 years later, he has not put another drop of sugar in his system, continues to work out every day and remains healthy. Please pay close attention at this point. I am not a medical doctor, I am not giving any advice on diabetes or any other medical condition, and this column has nothing at all to do with diabetes, really. The situation my friend has been through and handled is, to me, merely an excellent illustration of how to deal with a pressing societal issue. In previous years, their children to there was a neardo whatever they universal acknowlwant, set careful edgment of the sin boundaries, checks nature of man, and and balances and people were wise safeguards around enough to act and those children. even govern accordThey do not ingly.

If there were no sin nature, there would be no need for laws or rules or officers or curfews or accountability or societal barriers or a host of other often inconvenient things. But since there is a sin nature in every man and woman and boy and girl of every race and background, it must be accounted for and dealt with on a practical level. Denying the Bible truth that man does have a sin nature promises Utopia and delivers the Maelstrom. As we go about our days, let us do so with three things: The sobering realization that man does have a sin nature, a willingness to put up safeguards against it, and the joy of knowing that since Jesus came and died to save sinners. And all of us are sinners. We all qualify for the opportunity to be saved.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, August 28, 2016 7A Hit a home run with Social Security Beth Sergent | Ohio Valley Publishing Locals protest GDC cutbacks in January 2014 during a visit from Gov. John Kasich at Rio Grande. Jobs From page 1A staff would qualify, if they choose to take that option. “We want to make the operation as efficient as possible and have the right number of staff for the right number of folks who live there,” he said. “It’s hard. These are dedicated (employees) who are good people and it’s a difficult message for us to have to deliver.” Martin said that regionally, West Virginia does not have state facilities like Ohio’s GDC, and neither does Indiana and Michigan. “In Ohio, we still see a role for the centers,” he said. “They are becoming smaller, but we still feel they play a critical role in our service delivery system. Often, they are handling complex individuals. Something we’re trying to emphasize is we’re not here to close the center and that’s not what our intent is.” Martin said some of the decisions to be made with GDC’s transition may still be up in the air as union workers will come to negotiate. The director said the state department would do the best it could to keep employees aware of job openings that fit their qualifications. The department will also work with Gallia office of the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services and job fairs to keep individuals informed of career opportunities. The elimination of jobs is not due to budgetary issues, but in an attempt to streamline staff. Currently, before employee cutbacks take place, GDC has 192 employees and 53 clients it serves. Martin said GDC is moving toward a temporary care facility for individuals experiencing a crisis in their lives and will handle serious care needs. “Somebody could be at home with mom and dad and go into crisis or they could be in a group home and go into crisis,” Martin said. “They come into our centers. We do crisis stabilization and then follow them back into the community and support them there. That’s been Beth Sergent | Ohio Valley Publishing One protestor’s sign in January 2014 asks Gov. Kasich if he was ready for a layoff. one of the transitions that we have done.” Since 2009, facilities like GDC have seen a gradual reduction in clients due to aggressive effort to enforce the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C. According to www.ada. gov, the ruling required states to “eliminate unnecessary segregation of persons with disabilities and to ensure that persons with disabilities received services in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs.” GDC’s role has been scaled back in state developmental care. The facility, in the past, has been considered to be a major employer in the Ohio Valley region. Since that time, many former GDC workers have moved on. The facility had a maximum population of more than 1,500 people in its lifetime and the location had served as an American Civil War hospital, as well as an epileptic hospital before serving as the area’s developmental center. GDC superintendent Margaret Mossbarger previously told the Tribune three years ago the facility had 300 residents. A few years ago, a contentious battle erupted between local residents and the state over previous GDC cutbacks. Gov. John Kasich made an appearance at Rio Grande in early 2014 and local residents protested his appearance. After July of this year, eight centers like GDC exist throughout Ohio. GDC serves Pickaway, Ross, Pike, Scioto, Hocking, Vinton, Jackson, Lawrence, Gallia, Meigs, Athens and Washington counties. The state agency has announced it is closing two other facilities in the state. Many individuals like GDC’s residents have been moving into private residential care communities like the ResCare facility in Rio Grande. State officials are still in the talks with undisclosed organizations as to what will happen with GDC residential cottages. Zach Haughawout, communications and legislation representative with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, said ideally he thinks the buildings are best outfitted to services providing residential care and such organizations looking to provide those services would be considered first to make use of the cottages. Union members Monty Blanton, staff representative with Ohio Civil Service Employment Association, Rosetta Wells, current GDC employee and vice president of the OCSEA Gallipolis Chapter 2710, had strong feelings about the news. Wells has worked at the institution for 24 years and Blanton worked there for a number of years before transitioning to being the staff representative for OCSEA in Gallipolis. Both feel Kasich and Martin have broken a promise that layoffs would not continue when budgets were being reviewed last year as two other developmental centers in Ohio were being closed. GDC had suffered a pair of previous layoffs in 2010 and 2013. The current number of layoffs totals 148. Both Blanton and Wells said they feel any retirement buyout is not going to be received well by workers as they don’t believe the money will be enough for workers upon which to live. “We have facilities across the states busting at the seams serving this population (individuals with developmental disabilities),” Blanton said. “The individuals’ families we are currently serving are only moving their loved ones because they’re being told there is no security, that their family member can’t be maintained at GDC and able to live there.” Blanton told the TimesSentinel there had been talks previously with GDC about potentially serving a new client base that involved individuals with both mental health problems and developmental disabilities. Then workers were reportedly informed of layoffs. Blanton and Wells say they intend to fight for GDC’s clients and jobs. The pair feel that continued layoffs ultimately endanger the care of their clients and the clients have done just as well or better in GDC’s environment than private community settings. Blanton said some clients need more intensive and focused long-term care in a facility that is housed with doctors, psychiatrists and professionals geared toward their needs. “We’re going to fight this as long as we can,” Blanton said. “(We) expect there will be community involvement and people will rally together to challenge the layoffs because it’s about the clients and their care. It’s not just about jobs. At some point in time, everyone in this community has been touched by that facility (GDC).” GDC members have often claimed residents of the facilities were like their family because of spending “years” with them.

Cleveland council President Kevin Kelley says the proposal has too many conditions including one that would keep all current East Cleveland council members employed. Officials in East Cleveland are exploring the idea of being annexed by neighboring Cleveland because it has gone years without being able to pay for basic services. East Cleveland has struggled to pay city workers, fix its streets and plow snow.

Man gets prison for dragging officer AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A 29-year-old northeast Ohio man has been sentenced to seven years behind bars after he admitted to dragging an officer for two blocks while fleeing a traffic stop. Demardre Johnson pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges including felonious assault, resisting arrest and obstructing justice. Johnson apologized for his actions in court.

Man sentenced to house arrest for extortion AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A quadriplegic man who admitted to trying to extort money from former Ohio State star and NFL player Christopher “Beanie” Wells has been sentenced to a year of house arrest after a judge concluded that imprisoning the defendant would be too costly for taxpayers. Cleveland.com reports the judge on Wednesday told 29-year-old Patrick Griffin, of Akron, that he could still be sent to prison if he violates her terms. Griffin also was ordered to donate $10,000 to a charity. Griffin says he understands that his condition doesn’t make him immune from consequences. Griffin had pleaded guilty to Hobbs Act extortion. Prosecutors say he and a codefendant tried to force Wells to pay them tens of thousands of dollars after Wells’ brother set up a drug deal where they lost money. Cincinnati sees estimated 78 heroin overdoses in 2 days CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati police are asking for the public’s help in trying to identify the source of the suspected heroin behind an estimated 78 overdoses in just two days. Meanwhile, Hamilton County officials say they will seek funding for treatment and expanded response teams. County officials are calling the latest onslaught of overdose cases a public health emergency, and county Health Commissioner Tim Ingram says the number of emergencyroom incidents over the last six days was “unprecedented.” Emergency rooms estimate they had 174 suspected opioid overdose cases this week, including three deaths. Last year, accidental drug overdoses killed 3,050 people in Ohio, an average of eight per day, state officials say.

Ohio emergency medical personnel last year administered nearly 19,800 doses of naloxone, known by the brand name Narcan. Naloxone can be dispensed by pharmacists without a prescription under changes made in 2015, and more than 900 pharmacies around the state now offer that. Meanwhile, guidance issued for prescribers helped reduce the number of opioid doses given to patients last year by 81 million compared with 2011 figures, decreasing the leftover drugs that might be available for abuse, according to the state report. State officials said their strategies to tackle the problem during the next year include working with lawmakers to stiffen penalties for illicit fentanyl sales and to make it easier to establish opiate treatment programs. They are also expanding a public awareness campaign and an addiction treatment program made available through drug courts. Other plans will support local drug task forces and step up drug-seizure efforts. In addition, the state is integrating an automated prescription reporting system into more electronic medical records and pharmacy dispensing systems to cut down on doctor shopping by addicts. Many of the responses aren’t drug-specific, meaning they could still be useful however the problem evolves next, said Dr. Mary DiOrio, the state medical director. “We’re really going to be agile enough that we can address things that come up,” she said.

Cincinnati City Manager Harry Black said authorities suspect carfentanil, a drug used to sedate elephants and other large animals, may be mixed in with heroin and causing the overdoses.

Colton Arrington’s 90-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:05 left in regulation ultimately allowed visiting Wahama to secure a come-from-behind 26-14 victory over Ravenswood Friday night in a Week 1 non-conference matchup in Jackson County. The White Falcons (1-0) trailed 7-0 at halftime, but the Red and White responded with consecutive third quarter scores to claim their first lead of the night at 14-7 with 6:32 left in the period. The Red Devils (0-1), however, responded with a touchdown of their own less than a minute later — making it a 14-all contest headed into the finale. Wyatt Edwards scored on an eight-yard run with 9:23 left in regulation to give WHS a permanent lead of 20-14, but Ravenswood made a late drive that seemed to make that advantage look very slim. Alex Casto hauled in a 55-yard pass from Max Hilton with under three minutes remaining, giving the hosts possession at the Wahama 25-yard line. On the ensuing play, an errant Hilton pass made its way to Arrington at the 10-yard line — and Arrington rumbled 90 yards to paydirt to wrap up the 12-point triumph.

Raiders roll over Eagles in opener By Paul Boggs :,911=Ľ-3@3>+=7/.3+L-97 BIDWELL, Ohio — On a scorcher of an opener, new River Valley starting quarterback Patrick Brown had the hot hand. That’s because Brown, engineering the Raiders’ up-tempo fast-paced offense as the graduated Dayton Hardway’s replacement, threw for a hefty 303 yards and four touchdowns in River Valley’s 51-27 rout of the visiting Eastern Eagles on Friday night at a steambathed River Valley High School. The contest marked the 2016 football season opener for both teams, as the Raiders registered their third consecutive lid-lifting victory over the Eagles. In fact, Eastern remains winless in season openers since 2004. Last season, River Valley blanked Eastern 57-0 in Meigs County — and appeared, early on, on its way to doing that once again. The Raiders raced out to a 27-0 lead with eight minutes and 15 seconds left in the second quarter, and opened up a 37-6 advantage at the 3:46 mark before halftime. Finally, with 7:25 remaining in the third quarter, Chris Parsons’ six-yard touchdown run made it 51-13 — as a pair of Jett Facemyer touch- down passes in the final 15:49 made the score much more respectable for Eastern. The Raiders needed only a minute and 47 seconds into the third period to enforce the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s running-clock rule, when Jacob Campbell picked off Facemyer on the third play of the half — and returned the interception 55 yards for a touchdown. But Brown’s four firsthalf touchdown tosses, and 278 yards through the air in the opening 24 minutes, allowed the Raiders to set the tone. River Valley, after graduating 15 seniors from last season’s firstever state playoff squad, is reloading under sixthyear head coach Jerrod Sparling. Sparling said that although there is plenty of work yet to be done, it was a fast start — especially offensively — for his Raiders. “For the most part, we’re a veteran football team, and I was really on these guys in practice this week to start fast tonight,” said Sparling. “It was a point of emphasis. Tonight was the fastest I think we have ever played on offense, and that’s a good thing. I’m really proud of the kids and their effort, but we have a long way to go before we are finished product. However, I think our guys handled our business pretty well. I thought playmakers made big plays and our quarterback played very, very well. He had a really good start taking over.” Exactly what did Brown do for the Raiders? They scored 37 firsthalf points, totaled all (377) but 34 yards and nine of their 46 plays from scrimmage in the first two quarters, and rushed for 65 yards on 20 carries. Brown completed his opening 10 pass attempts, finishing the first half 12-of-17 with 278 yards. “That’s not a bad start taking over,” said Sparling of his junior signalcaller, with a smile. His only attempt in the second half was River Valley’s first play — a 25-yard completion to Layne Fitch to set up Parsons’ touchdown run at the 7:25 mark. The Raiders wasted little time taking it right to the Eagles’ defense, receiving the opening kickoff and marching nine plays and 54 yards. Brown completed three passes of six yards or more on the drive to Tre Craycraft, as Jacob Campbell carried five times — — including a walk-in three-yard touchdown run only two minutes and 48 seconds in. Campbell finished with a team-high 40 yards on 11 carries. After Eastern opened by driving 32 yards and nine plays prior to punting, Brown connected with Craycraft again — only two plays later at the 4:44 mark. Craycraft crossed over the middle and made an in-stride reception, stiffarmed an Eastern defender, then outmaneuvered Eagle defenders along the sideline in dashing to the end zone. The pitch-and-catch went for 60 yards, as Devin McDonald made the first of his five extrapoint kicks — in addition to his 24-yard field goal that put the Raiders up 37-6. “We came in and got shell-shocked,” said Eastern coach Pat Newland. “We were back on our heels and not playing football. We didn’t quit, but they (Raiders) continued to make plays because they are a good team. But when they make a big play, we can’t be like ‘oh my gosh we have to watch out for this and that.’ We have to read our keys and play fast right with them. We played real slow at first. We were playing open zones and not finding the receivers in those zones. We had a couple of blown coverages like we were lost in no man’s land.” Craycraft caught eight See RAIDERS | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, August 28, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Southern rallies past Titans, 21-14 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — A tale of two halves … with a fortunate twist at the end. Visiting Portsmouth Notre Dame rallied back from a 13-point halftime deficit by scoring twice in the third quarter, but Southern responded with a quick strike late in regulation while beginning the Mike Chancey era on a good note Friday night following a thrilling 21-14 victory in a Week 1 gridiron matchup at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field in Meigs County. The host Tornadoes (1-0) stormed out to a 7-0 advantage just 13 seconds into the game as Jaylen Blanks returned the opening kickoff 85 yards to paydirt. SHS followed that up with a quick three-andout defensive stand and a pair of interceptions on the next three drives by the Titans (0-1), which allowed the Purple and Gold to secure a 7-0 edge after 12 minutes of play. After picking up a first down on a fourth-andthree running play, the Tornadoes followed two plays later with an aerial assault that allowed the hosts to secure a twoscore advantage. Dylan Smith hauled in an eight-yard pass from Blake Johnson on a first-and-goal play, which allowed Southern to claim a 13-0 cushion at the 10:16 mark of the second stanza. That 13-point advantage also stuck headed into the break. The second half, however, quickly turned in favor of Portsmouth Notre Dame — and it all a 244-194 overall edge in total yards, including a sizable 173-27 advantage in passing yards. SHS had a dozen first downs in the win, compared to only 10 by the Titans. PND was also penalized four times for 30 yards, while Southern was flagged seven times for 77 yards. Riley Roush paced the SHS rushing attack with 36 yard and 15 attempts, followed by Blake Johnson with 12 carries for 29 yards. Johnson was also 9-of-14 passing for 173 yards, throwing two touchdown passes and no interceptions. Crenson Rogers led the Tornado wideouts with 86 yards on four catches, followed by Dylan Smith with three grabs for 48 yards.

When you are playing bump-and run or man coverage, sometimes they (opponent) are going to win. We made a couple of mistakes here and there and we weren’t crisp all the time, but overall I thought we still had a good effort on that side of the football.” As for Eastern’s defense, Newland admits it needs work, as the Eagles host Miller on Friday night (Sept. 2) for their home and Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division openers. “We have to be able to switch up and know exactly what the coverages are every time we line up and play aggressively,” he said. “We can’t play passive or indecisive.” Playing aggressive, and fast, is what propelled the Raiders to another season-opening triumph. River Valley visits archrival Gallia Academy on Saturday night (Sept. 3) for its next game — the second annual Ohio Valley Bank Community Bowl. “We have a lot of older players on this team that are hungry to make their own mark on this program and carve their own legacy,” said Sparling. “I’m excited about this group and this coaching staff, and tonight was a good start for what we want to ultimately accomplish.” pass from Brady Bumgarner at the 9:20 mark, then Bumgarner added a fiveyard run with 6:32 left for From page 1B a 14-7 Wahama cushion.

Sophomore Rachel Haddad scored on a direct kick with 4:53 left to play in regulation — and the RedStorm battled visiting Davenport University to a season-opening 1-1 draw on Thursday night at a saunalike Evan E. Davis Field. Haddad — a midfielder from Gallipolis — accounted for Rio’s only shot on goal in the contest, netting the second goal of her collegiate career. Rio Grande, which had been outscored 24-2 in four losses to the Panthers over the course of the past five seasons — includ- ing a 7-0 loss last year - was outshot 29-4 (11-1 in shots on goal). “I’m proud of the girls. They never quit,” said Daniels, who took over the Rio women’s program after serving as an assistant coach with the men’s team for the past 25 seasons. “We’ve still got a long way to go, but they showed a lot of heart tonight. This is the kind of game that, hopefully, we can continue to build on.” Davenport (1-0-1) snapped a scoreless tie just 25 seconds into the second stanza when Rio freshman goalkeeper Andrea Vera was whistled for a foul and Shameeka Fishley pushed a subsequent penalty kick past Vera. That’s how things stayed until Davenport’s Lacey Chanady was whistled for a foul Tyler Garretson for what would have been a touchdown, had Meigs not had an ineligible From page 1B man down field.

Passes by McClelland to Call and Wyatt Sipple gave the Blue Devils back-to-back first downs and the ball on the Meigs 34. McClelland picked up nine yards on a pair of quarterback keepers, and on third down from the MHS 25, Gallia Academy junior Clay Plymale broke loose and found paydirt. The extra point kick by Ty Howell was good, making the margin 42-7 with 2:11 left in the third. Gallia Academy’s first score of the night was the game’s final points, as neither team even managed to make it into the red zone in the final 14 minutes of play. “It took us a few years, but we’re finally catching up to the speed of the game,” fifth-year Meigs head coach Mike Bartrum said. “When the game slows down for you its a good thing. I feel like they’re just going out and reacting. They’re not thinking anymore and they’re not worried about their steps, because they have confidence.” The Marauder offense was led by 2015 AP Southeast District Offensive Player of the Year Cody Bartrum, who was 15-of-22 passing for 240 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for 86 yards and one score on five attempts. Cory Cox and Landon Acree each completed one pass in the game, for 18 and 13 yards respectively. Cullums finished with 79 yards on 12 carries, Helton added 25 yards on two attempts, Garretson marked 24 yards on three tries, Zach Bartrum chipped in with one rush for 13 yards and a score, while Landon Acree ran four times for a total of two yards. Helton hauled in five passes for 38 yards, Caruthers added 60 yards and one score on three receptions, while Zach Bartrum had 58 yards and one score on three receptions of his own. Jared Kennedy caught two passes for 20 yards, Mattox had one 34-yard touchdown grab, Williams had one 30-yard TD catch, while Landon Acree caught one 18-yard pass and Brentten Young added one 13-yard catch. “Coach Willford has done a great job calling the plays, and the kids are executing,” Coach Bartrum said of his offense. “I don’t want to take anything away from Gallipolis, because they came out and hit us. In the first quarter they were right there, but our kids kept fighting and believing in what we’re doing. We still have some plays that we need to do better.” As a team, Meigs had 20 first downs, 14 more than GAHS. MHS had two turnovers and punted just once, while Gallia Academy had three turnovers and punted four times. “We knew we had to play a good Meigs team,” GAHS head coach Josh Riffe said. “They’re well coached, they have good players and a veteran quarterback. You can always count on them to make the right decisions and do the right things with the ball.” McClelland led the Blue Devils by passing for 52 yards on 8-of-14 attempts, with one interception. McClelland ran 15 times for a net of 29 yards. Plymale was Gallia Academy’s leading rusher with 32 yards and a score on four attempts. Sipple led all GAHS receivers with 22 yards on three catches, while Campbell had seven yards on two grabs. Call had 13 yards, Plymale had nine and Boo Pullins marked one yard on one reception each. “We have a lot of young guys playing,” Riffe said. “More important than finding the bad things is finding the good things to point out, because you don’t want this loss to carry over and cost you another game.” Call and Campbell’s interceptions highlighted the GAHS defensive effort, while Meigs’ defense was charged by interceptions by Brown and Wesley Jones. For MHS, Hood had 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery, while Jimmy Porter had one sack and Riley Ogdin had a half of a sack. The Marauders will have their home opener next week against Amanda-Clearcreek, which suffered a 20-19 loss to visiting Lakewood on Friday. “Amanda-Clearcreek is a powerhouse,” Coach Bartrum said. “Coach (Scott) Hinton will have those kids going. We got lucky and won up there last year, but now we have to put our hardhats on and get ready.” This is Meigs’ first win on Memorial Field since 1977, and the first time MHS has won twostraight against the Blue Devils since claiming victories 1978 and 80. The Blue Devils will play on Memorial Field again next week as incounty rival River Valley visits for the second annual OVB Community Bowl, on Saturday. “Whether we win or lose, we only get a few hours to be excited or be down before we move on to the next week,” Riffe said. “Our big thing is, don’t let this stick with us. Tomorrow morning when we come in to lift and and watch film we will already have our eyes set on River Valley.” River Valley defeated Eastern 51-27 at home on Friday.

The Big Blacks gained some breathing room with 3:49 left in the first quarter, when sophomore Josh Wamsley found paydirt with a three-yard run.

The visiting Lady Eagles (2-0) jumped out to an early 2-0 edge in Game 1, but the Lady Marauders (0-2) responded with a 20-10 run to secure their biggest lead of the night at 20-12. MHS went on to win five of the next 11 points en route to an early 1-0 match lead. EHS, however, never trailed in Game 2 en route to a 13-point victory, then trailed only 1-0 in Game 3 before rolling to a nine-point win and a 2-1 match advantage. The Lady Eagles led 3-0 in the fourth game, but Meigs rallied to secure small leads of 5-4 and 6-5 before the guests made a 10-3 run for their largest lead of the game at 15-9. The Lady Marauders twice pulled to within a point at 19-18 and 22-21 before tying things up at 23-all, but the guests answered with consecutive points to wrap up the 3-1 match triumph. Afterwards, EHS coach Katie Williams showed some signs of frustration with the events — Lori Carter, MHS coach of Game 1 — but she was also pleased with how troops responded the rest of the night. “We definitely came out flat, but we made some adjustments and challenged the kids,” Williams said. “We started focusing on fundamentals after the first game and things started going our way. It wasn’t perfect, but a win is a win. We’ll take it and keep moving on.” MHS coach Lori Carter, conversely, wasn’t thrilled about the final outcome for her team — but that was also about the only negative she could come with following the game. “We needed to show some effort like we did tonight,” Carter said. “I think the girls gained a lot of confidence from that first game, and that came from playing with some effort and emotion.

Jackson speaks to Vinton book group VINTON — The Vinton Chapter of the Books and Friends Book Club recently met at Raccoon Creekside Cottage “Meade-Me-at-the-Dam” in Vinton for their July meeting to discuss the book “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand. The book is a true story of World War II hero Louie Zamperini. It is a story of survival, resilience and redemption. Pastor John Jackson was a guest speaker during the discussion and was quick to note that the pivotal turning point in Louie’s life was after he returned from war. It was when he went with his wife to the Billy Graham revival and turned his life over to Jesus Christ. While the movie follows closely with the book, it stops at the point where Louie returns home, leaving out one of the most important parts of the story. Louie’s spirit had been broken by his captors during his time as prisoner of war.
