POMEROY — Meigs County ofﬁcials are still trying to learn more about the Ohio Supreme Court decision Tuesday that directs Meigs County to place the Home Rule issue on the November ballot. In a 4-3 opinion, the Supreme Court said the Meigs County Board of Commissioners wrongfully delayed adopting a measure in July 2015 that would have placed a charter initiative by the Meigs County Home Rule Committee on the November 2015 ballot. The proposed charter, accord- ing to the committee, would recognize the right of county residents to initiate a referendum, which also includes a ban on fracking infrastructure projects to dispose of fracking waste in Meigs County, as well as using water sources in Meigs to aid in the process. The opinion does not guarantee the issue will be on the ballot, though. Tish O’Dell, Ohio organizer for the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, said the Supreme Court’s ruling is one they’ve been seeking all along and the reason why they appealed a lower courts decision that upheld keeping the initia- tive off the 2015 ballot. “The Supreme Court decision makes it clear that government ofﬁcials cannot simply pocketveto a petition by failing to act on it before the applicable preelection deadline passes, with the intent and result of keeping people’s initiatives off the ballot,” she said. “The court pretty clearly states that such delays will not prevent mandamus if the delay was not the fault of the petitioners. This is a victory for the people and the right to initiative by the people.” The issue became entangled when the commissioners tabled a vote on the initiative, citing See RULING | 5 Brown endorses Grace in Ohio District 94 Staff Report POMEROY — Two-term U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown endorsed Sarah Grace, candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives’ 94th District, on Tuesday morning. “Sarah Grace understands the importance of giving back to her community and I am proud to endorse her campaign for state representative,” Brown said in a statement. “As an Ohio University alum and longtime advocate for southeast Ohio, I know she will help build a diversified economy that Grace creates jobs for hard-working families. Sarah is exactly what Ohio needs: a leader who fights for all of us.” Grace is an Athens businesswoman, community volunteer, and mother of four. Grace’s top policy priorities are fighting for full and fair funding of Ohio public schools, as well as charter school accountability; ensuring that labor unions remain able to advocate for their members and opposing any so-called Right to Work legislation; and diversifying the economy of southeast Ohio. “I am honored and humbled to have the endorsement of Senator Brown, who has long been a dedicated public servant and advocate for the working people and middle-class families of Ohio,” Grace said. “Senator Brown is a role model to many Ohioans, and he has been an excellent example for me as I work to represent the people of southeast Ohio. “His support is an incredible boost to my campaign and I will strive to live up to the standard he has set, particularly in combatting repeated attacks on organized labor.” INDEX Obituary: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6, 7, 10 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 File photo Fun for all ages at the Kiddie Tractor Pull.

It’s very difﬁcult to buy furniture on the internet.” Tom had also delved into the jewelry business after speaking with a friend who said roughly 60 percent of his jewelry merchandise was sold from November through December.

As a high school band nerd, we were given little choice on Friday nights since our job was to play it while standing at attention on the football ﬁeld. It seems, however, that many Americans, particularly on the left, have lost respect for the anthem — and the Deer in country. I’ve even heard some people Headlines say outright that they’re not patriots. Gery L. Although I understand their disenchangment with the current political Deer environment, I can’t agree with their extremism. I will always be in support of our country, even if sometime that means criticizing it. It is the honorable duty of every American to challenge bad decisions made by those we send to represent us in Washington. But I think many have lost the distinction between honorable challenge and outright disrespect. Regardless of who is president or whether I agree with his or her politics, I will pay respect to the ofﬁce. I don’t have to like or support the individual to respect the position, and that should be a constant. I agree that formal protest often requires some level of shock value to be effective, but burning the ﬂag or refusing to stand during our national anthem does little more than show disrespect and hatred. While you have It is the honorable every right to protest however you like in this duty of every country, within reason American to and without violence, challenge bad ﬂag burning and resisdecisions made tance to respectful by those we send behavior only fuels the arguments of the chalto represent us in lenged. Washington. But Additionally, when I think many have a celebrity disrespects lost the distinction the country claiming between honorable personal protest, what they’re really doing challenge and outright disrespect. is trying to get the spotlight on them for a minute. That’s not only tacky, it’s disgraceful. It doesn’t make them look like a champion of justice, but just another publicity hound. If the media would ignore them, it would stop. But the media seems to like this kind of person more every day so these malcontents see a way to get some press. But for the rest of us, honorable challenge shouldn’t mean wanton disrespect for our freedoms and those who came before us to secure them. So how should we show our displeasure with the status quo? For starters, make sure you vote! I keep hearing people say, “I’m not voting for anyone this time … blah blah blah.” Well, if you’re going to sit home and do nothing, you deserve what you get. The millions around the world who envy our most basic of rights would slap you silly, and rightfully so. Our elections aren’t perfect, but certainly not as rigged as the conspiracies proclaim. You can also join a group, foundation or lobbyist organization (a non-violent movement of some kind) that works toward change related to whatever causes you see ﬁt. Suffragettes in Great Britain at the turn of the century had a great saying, “Deeds, not words.” Your actions make the difference. Stop posting your discontent on social media and get out and do something about it. I try to do what I can within the conﬁnes of this column every week. My intention is never to change anyone’s mind or try to argue in favor of something, but rather to get my readers to think for themselves. I present the information, occasionally with my opinion attached, but usually without. If there is something with which I seriously disagree, such as this idiotic “protest” movement of not standing for the Star Spangled Banner, I’m happy to say so. But I also participate in organizations I think actually do some good in the world. That’s the best any of us can do. Just keep in mind that a few minutes of media scrutiny is not what affects change or gets the attention of those who make the decisions in our country. You have to actually do something of substance and value for your fellow citizens. That doesn’t mean setting cars on ﬁre and looting after a police shooting. Hate changes nothing. In America, at least for now, peaceful resistance, honorable challenge and respectful protest will go farther than any media stunt. So for Pete’s sake, stand up. You’re not helping anyone with some passive aggressive tantrum. Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer. Deer In Headlines is distributed by GLD Enterprises Communications, Ltd.

THEIR VIEW Social media’s challenge to democracy I’ve been involved in politics for the better part of a lifetime and have spoken at a lot of public meetings over the years. There’s one question, I think, that I’ve heard more than any other: “If I want to be an informed citizen, which sources of information should I consult?” For many years, I had a set answer for this. Read one or more of the respected national news sources, I’d respond: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the Financial Times, The Economist, etc. I’m not sure how good that answer was at the time, but I know for certain it would be woefully inadequate now. Younger people, in particular, get far more of their information from social media than from traditional news sources. The internet and social media have upended our expectations of what it means to be well informed. Platforms and websites that take advantage of online and mobile connectivity are like a ﬁre hose, providing enormous quantities of information, opinion, news, statements, videos, images, analysis, charts, graphs — all of it instantly available.

They’ve brought new groups into key question: Does the ubiquity of information the public dialogue that available through social were not there before, media really help citizens understand complex issues, weigh competing arguments, and reach discriminating judgments about politics? Or does it overwhelm them with bursts of information that is so mixed as to quality that people simply throw up their hands — or, worse, charge full-tilt ahead based on a false understanding of reality? The answer, of course, is that it’s a mixed bag. The jury is still out on whether we’re becoming better citizens because we have more information and opinion at our ﬁngertips. Certainly, the information world we live in today is putting more stress on individual voters to make discriminating choices and on our representative democracy, which rests on institutions that were designed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Our political process has proved resilient over centuries, and has served us well. But social media poses a powerful challenge. They’ve brought great gifts and equally great risks, and we’d be prudent to be cautious.

RFBA league begins Sunday Player registration continues By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — 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 regular-season 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 See RFBA | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, September 8 Volleyball Ohio Valley Christian at Hannan, 6 p.m. Nelsonville-York at Meigs, 7:15 Belpre at Southern, 7:15 Athens at River Valley, 7:15 Parkersburg Catholic at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. Miller at Wahama, 6 p.m. Eastern at Trimble, 7:15 Gallia Academy at Portsmouth, 7 p.m. Golf Fairland at Gallia Academy, 4:30 Point Pleasant at Spring Valley, 4 p.m. Soccer Nitro at Point Pleasant boys, 7 p.m. Fairland at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Rock Hill at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Friday, September 9 Football Gallia Academy at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Southern at Wahama, 7:30 Trimble at South Gallia, 7:30 Logan at Meigs, 7:30 Green at Eastern, 7:30 River Valley at South Point, 7 p.m. Hannan at Bishop Donahue, 7:30 College Volleyball Rio Grande at Roosevelt University, 7 p.m. Don Speck | The Lima News Ohio State’s Mike Weber runs through a hole and past Bowling Green State University’s Trenton Greene (2) and James Sanford during Saturday’s game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. The Buckeyes’ 77-10 rout of Bowling Green was their largest margin of victory over an FBS opponent since a 72-0 win over Pittsburgh in 1996 and the most points they’ve scored since an 83-21 hammering of Iowa in 1950. OSU kicker came out of nowhere By Jim Naveau jnaveau@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS – Until a week ago, Tyler Durbin had no football game experience. No idea what it was like to have 100,000 people watching him. And no name recognition. Deﬁnitely no name recognition. In a world where the top football recruits are tracked, rated and graded from the time they’re barely out of junior high school, Ohio State’s kicker – for now, at least – came out of nowhere. Even OSU coach Urban Meyer wasn’t sure of Durbin’s name, or maybe pretended to be unaware of his name, when he announced the former soccer player would be the Buckeyes’ kicker in their opener against Bowling Green. After doing a solid job on kickoffs and hitting 11 of 11 extra-point kicks against BG, the former James Madison University soccer player will ﬁll in for the injured Sean Nuernberger again this Saturday against Tulsa. If he does well, it could be a battle for the No. 1 kicker’s job when Nuerberger comes back from a groin injury. “He (Nuernberger) is getting close to being healthy and he’s got to go beat Durbin out,” Meyer said on the Big Ten coaches teleconference on Tuesday. So, how did Durbin end up at Ohio State? He says he’s not completely sure himself. “I don’t really know how all this happened but it has been an incredible ride,” he said earlier this week. Actually, he knows every step of his trip, which he explained on Monday. He grew up in Burke, Va., just outside the I-495/I-95 Capital Beltway near Washington, D.C. Durbin played soccer for two years at James Madison University with limited success. He was in seven games and scored one goal in 2013 and played in one game in 2012. He decided he needed to make some changes at that point. He changed sports and he wanted to change his major to civil engineering, which James Madison did not offer. “I always wanted to try kicking so I ﬁgured, ‘Why not give it a shot?’ ” Durbin said. He sent videos to four schools — Ohio State, Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia and Georgia Tech — all of which had civil engineering programs. But Ohio State had something else the others didn’t. “It had the best football team out of all the options,” Durbin said, with a smile. “I wasn’t putting all of my eggs in one basket but I was really hoping it would work out.” There was another connection. The family of his girlfriend, now his wife, were big Ohio State fans and lived in Dayton. Durbin has turned some heads in practice by hitting a 62-yard ﬁeld goal and with the sound it makes when he kicks the ball. That sound was one of the ﬁrst things Meyer noticed about him. “It was the ﬁrst day of camp. I punted a few balls pretty well and he came over and talked to me. He said, ‘Who is this guy who is punting?’ And then he introduced himself,” Durbin said. So Meyer does know his name? “He calls me Durbin. He knows my last name, at least,” Durbin said. And so do a lot of other people who’d never heard of him two weeks ago. “It’s crazy to me. It’s been the best experience of my life. I went out to dinner (after the game) with my family and my wife’s family and we were talking about how surreal it is to play in a game for the Buckeyes,” he said. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Southern hands Eagles first loss By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY, Ohio — Revenge at its finest. The Southern golf team — which suffered its first loss of the season at the hands of Eastern on August 25, in Ravenswood — handed the Eagles their first loss by a 181190 count, on Tuesday at the Meigs County Golf Course. SHS is now 6-2 within the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division, while the Eagles fall to 6-1. Match medalist honors were shared by Southern senior Tanner Thorla and EHS sophomore Ryan Harbour, both of whom shot 10-over par 44. Following Thorla for the Purple and Gold was Ryan Acree with a 45.

Va. — On the friendly conﬁnes of its home course, and amid another afternoon of high heat and humidity, the Point Pleasant High School golf squad captured a host quadrangular match on Tuesday at Riverside Golf Course in Mason. The Black Knights — along with Wahama — have Riverside as their home course, as Point Pleasant posted a team total of 166 to outdistance the White Falcons (216) by 50 strokes. Clay County, with a team total of 195, came in second while River Valley — with only three golfers — did not post a team score. Point Pleasant, Wahama and Clay County sported six golfers apiece, with the top four scores counting towards the team total. All four of the Black Knights’ counting cards were 45 or lower, as senior co-captain Doug Workman was the match medalist with a four-overpar 39.

Haley Pierson with a 51 and Logan Hill with a 64 were the two noncounting cards. Only two Clay County clubbers ﬁred in the 40s — Colton Moore with a 44 and Seth Stover with a 47. Zach Dorsey with a 51 and Nate Schoolcraft with a 53 were the other two counting scores, as Eli Osborne added a 54 and ﬁnally Mike Willis shot a 62. Wahama had its four counting scores shoot in the mid-50s — Jase Heckaman with a 53, Carl Sayre and Anthony Ortiz with 54s, and Gage Smith with a 55. Walker Stanhope had a 65 and Destiny Sayre shot 67 for the White Falcons as well. River Valley’s three scores were a 47 from Aaron Burke, a 49 from Grant Gilmore and a 62 from Gabe Gilmore.

The Eagles evened their record to 3-3 — as well as their TVC-Hocking tally to 1-1. South Gallia fell to 0-3 overall and 0-2 in the division with the loss. Erin Evans had an all-around good game for the Lady Rebels, leading the way with nine service points — along with amassing eight kills, five aces, three digs and two blocks. Taylor Burnette notched seven service points, along with five assists, four digs and three kills. Rachal Colburn collected a team-high seven kills — in addition to a block-kill, four digs and an ace. Maddie Simpson had four digs as well, as Olivia Hornsby had three digs and four assists. Hannah Shafer and Aaliyah Howell also served for an ace. No Eastern statistics were made available. South Gallia returned to the road, and returned to non-league action, on Wednesday when it ventured to River Valley. Eastern travels to Trimble today for a key TVC-Hocking Division tilt. GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Still going strong. The Ohio Valley Christian volleyball team remained unbeaten after posting its third consecutive straight-game decision Tuesday night following a 25-12, 25-12, 25-12 victory over visiting Grace Christian in a non-conference matchup in the Old French City. The Lady Defenders (7-0) earned their fourth straight-game triumph of the year in convincing fashion, as the hosts only trailed one time in the entire match — which came with a 1-0 deﬁcit in the opener. OVCS rallied with 15 of the next 20 points to secure a 15-6 edge and eventually rolled to a 1-0 match lead with the 13-point win. The Lady Defenders stormed out to early leads of 8-2 and 4-0 over the next two contests, which also led to 13-point wins en route to the 3-0 match triumph. Katie Westfall led the OVCS service attack with 15 points, followed by Katie Bradley with 12 points. Cori Hutchison and Emily Childers were next with 10 points apiece, while Marcie Kessinger and Rachel Sargent respectively chipped in six and four points. Bradley led the hosts with 10 kills and Sargent added four kills to the winning cause. Hutchison, Childers and Westfall also contributed three kills apiece. Sargent also recorded a team-best four blocks, with Childers adding two blocks and Westfall recording one block. Malorie Branson led Grace with eight service points in the setback.

Black Knights blank Belpre, 4-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com BELPRE, Ohio — The Black Knights sure are stingy when it comes to winning. The Point Pleasant boys soccer team snapped a four-game winless skid while posting a 4-0 victory over host Belpre on Tuesday night in a non-conference match in Washington County. The Black Knights (2-3-1) picked up their first road win while also claiming the team’s second shutout victory of the year. The other came in a 3-0 win over Lincoln County at home in the season opener. PPHS outshot the hosts by a 20-11 overall margin and claimed a 2-1 edge in corner Bryan Walters l OVP Sports Point Pleasant junior Alex Lenkov (10) lifts a pass past a Lincoln County defender during an August 23 contest at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. kicks. Cole Walker recorded his second shutout win with 11 saves, while Rawlin Barber stopped 16 shots in the Golden Eagles’ setback. Jacob Bryant started the scoring in the 28th minute after netting a pass from Alex Lenkov for a 1-0 cushion, which held up entering the intermission. Austin Adams followed with a second half hat trick, with Lenkov assisting on two of the three goals. Lenkov and Adams hooked up in the 68th minute for a 2-0 edge, then the duo struck again in the 79th minute to wrap up the four-goal advantage. Austin Nott also had an assist in the 72nd minute on Adams’ second score, which made it a 3-0 lead. “We played really well and with a lot of emotion tonight,” PPHS coach Chip Wood said. “Our fitness played a huge factor tonight as we are starting to get healthy. We are very close to being in 80-minute game shape.” Point Pleasant had scored only four goals in its previous four matches, which led to an 0-3-1 mark during that span. The Black Knights return to action Thursday when they host Nitro at 7 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, September 8, 2016 Help Wanted General $$$$$$$$$ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with Pomeroy Daily Sentinel?? s Be your own boss s 5 day delivery s Delivery times is approx. 3 hours daily s Must be 18 years of age s Must have a valid driver’s license, dependable vehicle & provide proof of insurance s Must provide your own substitute OPERATE YOUR OWN BUSINESS WITH POTENTIAL REVENUE OVER $1,000 PER MONTH For more information please email Tyler Wolfe at twolfe@civitasmedia.com or apply in person at 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH Mon-Fri 8:30 am - 4:30 pm $$$$$$$$$ Wanted Apartments/Townhouses Rentals LEGALS Gallipolis Daily Tribune 825 3rd Ave Gallipolis, Oh Taking applications for a mailroom driver.

(AP) — Jeff Gordon is mostly retired and Tony Stewart is almost out the door. Now Dale Earnhardt Jr. is sidelined for the rest of the year, exposing NASCAR’s glaring need for new stars to captivate the audience. The three big names who have moved the needle for NASCAR the past two decades have a combined seven championships, 168 career Cup wins and ﬁve Daytona 500 victories. More important, they are the household names for NASCAR, the ones who move the needle and make people pay attention. But Gordon called last year his last, only to be called back to the race car in late July when a concussion knocked Earnhardt out for the season. Stewart, meanwhile, has just 13 races left in his NASCAR driving career. He was in vintage form Sunday night at Darlington Raceway, where he seemed to intentionally wreck Brian Scott in a move that earned him a post-race sit-down with NASCAR’s bigwigs. Stewart’s response to the incident? A wry smile and denial of culpability. NASCAR will argue the sport is bigger than one, two or three personalities, and that the stable is full of young talent to carry stock car racing deep into the future. There’s some truth to that and it stretches beyond Kyle Busch and Joey Logano. Kyle Larson is a week removed from his ﬁrst Cup victory, a win that earned him a berth in NASCAR’s playoffs, and rookie Chase Elliott is a week away from securing his spot in the 10-race championship series. Austin Dillon could also make the Chase for the championship in next week’s regular-season ﬁnale, as could Chris Buescher, last year’s Xﬁnity Series champion who used a win at rain-shortened Pocono to slide into title contention. Ryan Blaney won’t make the Chase, but the 22-year-old has been competitive and part of a new generation of drivers that NASCAR will have to rely upon once its superstars are in street clothes. The problem, though, is that none of these new faces are the complete package. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
