Remembering the Four Chaplains
Staff Report

ROCKSPRINGS — The

a service honoring the fallen
sailors and the four chaplains
that died when the U.S.A.T.
DORCHESTER sank off the
coast of Greenland after being
torpedoed by a German Submarine on Feb. 3, 1943.
The four chaplains moved
around the ship trying to calm
the frightened and wounded
men by offering words of hope
and light and spiritual guidance during the chaos. When
all life jackets were gone, they
removed theirs and gave them
to sailors who had none.
With their arms locked
together the four chaplains,
George L. Fox, Clark V Poling,
Alexander D. Goods and John
P. Washington went down
with the ship willingly giving
up their lives so that others
may live. Of the 902 men
aboard, 692 died that day.
Post 39 Commander John
Hood welcomed all who
attended, and the presentation
of colors was by 8th District
Assistant Sergeant at Arms,
Norman Price and Bill Spaun,

The National Anthem was
sung, and the pledge of Allegiance was said by all.

OHIO VALLEY — As
of Tuesday afternoon,
the National Weather
Service issued a ﬂood
warning for Gallia,
Meigs and Mason counties and the Ohio River
remains predicted to
reach ﬂood stage at
several locations in the
readership area.
From Monday until
press time Tuesday, there
were minor changes in
the river crest predictions, with slightly higher water level predictions
reported for the locks
and dams in Belleville
and Racine, while predictions were only slightly
down for Point Pleasant
and the R.C. Byrd Locks
and Dam. Pomeroy’s prediction was unchanged.
Still, despite the ﬂuctuations, all of these locations are predicted to see
the Ohio River at or near
ﬂood stage in the next
few days and residents
should exercise caution.
As of press time Tuesday, river crest predictions along the Ohio
River according to the
National Weather Service, were as follows:

MIDDLEPORT —
The Middleport Village
Council voted Monday
evening to pass the ordinance to increase the
water rate.
Council passed Ordinance 119-19 with a 4-2
vote. Council members
Sharon Older and Carolyn French voted against
the ordinance.
The new water rate
will be $21.09 for the
minimum usage of 2,000
gallons.
The ﬁnance committee previously decided
that along with the water
rate increase, the sewer
bills for residents will
increase too. The rate for
the sewer will still be 150
percent of the water bill,
but this will increase the
amount paid each month.
This means the minimum usage of water and
sewage will now cost
$52.73, which is an
increase of $5.65 per
month.

U.S. through secret tunnels or hidden in tanker
trucks, concealed in the

entry — suggesting that
a border wall wouldn’t
be much of a worry.
The prosecution’s
case against Guzman,
a roughly 5½-foot ﬁgure whose nickname
translates to “Shorty,”

included the testimony
of several turncoats and
other witnesses. Among
them were Guzman’s former Sinaloa lieutenants,
a computer encryption
expert and a Colombian
cocaine supplier who
underwent extreme plastic surgery to disguise
his appearance.
One Sinaloa insider
described Mexican
workers getting contact
highs while packing
cocaine into thousands
of jalapeno cans — shipments that totaled 25
to 30 tons of cocaine
worth $500 million each
year. Another testiﬁed
how Guzman sometimes
acted as his own sicario,
or hitman, punishing a
Sinaloan who dared to
work for another cartel
by kidnapping him, beating and shooting him
and having his men bury
the victim while he was
still alive, gasping for
air.

The defense case
lasted just half an hour.
Guzman’s lawyers did
not deny his crimes as
much as argue he was a
fall guy for government
witnesses who were
more evil than he was.
In closing arguments,
defense attorney Jeffrey
Lichtman urged the jury
not to believe government witnesses who “lie,
steal, cheat, deal drugs
and kill people.”
U.S. Attorney Richard
Donoghue called the
conviction “a victory
for the American people
who suffered so much”
while the defendant
poured poison over the
borders. He expected
Guzman to get life without parole.
“It is a sentence
from which there is no
escape and no return,”
Donoghue told a news
conference outside the
courthouse, through
snow and sleet.

would undermine European energy and national
security while also hurting Ukraine.”
The Russian-German
pipeline is being built
under the Baltic Sea to
deliver gas directly to
Germany for further distribution across Europe,
increasing the route’s
capacity over what
already ﬂows through
the ﬁrst Nord Stream
pipeline. But Eastern
European countries like
Poland and Ukraine have
vehemently objected to
the project because they
say it speciﬁcally bypasses their territories.
Earlier in Bratislava,
where he was the ﬁrst
secretary of state to
visit in nearly 20 years,
Pompeo made similar
remarks and noted that
Slovakia, because of its
history and geography,
has “a special appreciation for the aggressive
role Russia continues to
play in the region,” particularly in Ukraine.

But, he said, “Russia
is not the only nation
that seeks to erode sovereignty and freedom in
Europe.”
Pompeo said he had
raised with Slovak ofﬁcials the “need to guard
against China’s economic and other efforts to
create dependence and
manipulate your political
system.”
“It’s real, it’s intentional and they are trying
to do things that undermine your sovereignty,”
he said.
In Warsaw, Pompeo
renewed a warning he

United States may be

THEIR VIEW

Help and
hope for
your nerves
A friend sat outside the school one day after
recess, breathing hard, trembling, and the fear in
his eyes was disconcerting.
The other kids, his classmates,
scurried back to class, but none
stopped as he huddled against the
brick wall of the elementary school,
hoping no one would notice him.
He had been playing touch football earlier, and I thought he was
probably just winded, slightly out

skin under his eyes were bloated
and swollen, not like a boxer who
had taken blows to the face, but a gentle pufﬁness, more like a person who had taken blows to
his soul.
He was tearful and scared, and his look gray
and dull.
My friend was embarrassed. He was in trouble.
I asked if he was sick. He said he wasn’t sure,
and didn’t know what was happening to him.
“I just feel very strange. My heart is racing,
and my hands feel really sweaty,” he said. “I can’t
stop trembling.”
We shared the next class together so I knew
we could spend a few more minutes in the fresh
air. We talked about the catch he had made a few
minutes earlier on the playground’s football ﬁeld.
“It was good thing the bell rang when it did,
the big tackle looked like he was going to knock
your head off your shoulders,” I said.
He smiled. He was trembling less, and his eyes
were regaining their brightness and focus. He
said he felt better and believed he could go on to
class.
We stopped at the water fountain and both
took a deep swallow. I suggested he rub some
cold water across his face. He did. He said the
coolness made him feel better.
Later that day, I arrived home from school and
told my mother what had happened to my friend
after recess.
“My guess is he was suffering from nerves,”
she said. “Many people have nervous illness.”
Mom told me her generation used to call the
ailment “nerves”, and doctors had recommended
getting plenty of sunlight, plenty of sleep every
night, and staying busy to help counteract feeling anxious.
“It’s called anxiety now,” Mom said.
My friend and I had lunch together the next
day. He said he was feeling better, but the
strange feelings had frightened him. “I just felt
so unreal and overwhelmed.”
My curiosity was piqued. The next day I found
a book on anxiety at the library. I was just in
middle school, and very little was understood
about the causes and treatment of tension and
stress.
The subject was fascinating to me. I read
everything I could ﬁnd on the study of anxiety.
My interest has continued for over 50 years.
The advancement made in the treatment of panic
disorders and anxiety over the last three decades
is remarkable.
The young classmate is, of course, an adult
now. We see each other often, and have remained
good friends.
During our school years we never talked about
the panic attack he suffered, but we speak openly
about it now.
“Do you remember the books you recommended to me?” he asked.
“I sure do. ‘Hope and Help for Your Nerves
and Peace from Nervous Suffering,’ by Dr. Claire
Weekes,” I said. “Her books were written many
years ago, but are still relevant today. She was
before her time, and was considered by some to
be the pioneer of modern anxiety treatment via
Cognitive Therapy.”
Dr. Weekes’ book teaches how to learn to
let an anxious thought ﬂoat, to accept it, and
pass through it, no matter how uncomfortable.
Acceptance, not ﬁghting anxiety, is the key, Dr.
Weekes wrote.
“Would you consider writing an article about
anxiety?” my friend asked me a few weeks ago.
“I think it might help a lot of people who suffer
from it.”
A disclaimer is in order here. Neither my
friend or I are therapists or physicians, nor
should our story be considered anything other
than informational.
For anyone suffering from anxiety, it is important to contact your physician for professional
evaluation and care.
He said he still re-reads Dr. Weekes books,
and watches her videos on YouTube. In his case,
these talks help him on his journey.
We hope they can help others.

The high school postseason

the area roads for the state
tournament were paved Sunday afternoon during the 2019
OHSAA Southeast District

selection meeting.
Six area schools — Gallia
Academy, Meigs, River Valley,
Southern, South Gallia and
Eastern — now know where
their opening games will be
and who they will be facing
in their respective sectional
matchups.
Two of the six local teams
need a single win to advance to
the district tournament, while

a quartet of other squads are
searching for two victories to
get out of their respective sectionals.

RedStorm women
rout Carlow, earn
tourney berth
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Whenever the 2018-19
season ﬁnally comes to an end for the University
of Rio Grande women’s basketball team, perhaps
hindsight will show the RedStorm’s biggest victory was earning a chance to play in the post-season.
Head coach David Smalley’s squad, which spent
the ﬁrst half of the season ranked in the NAIA
Division II Top 25 before a slew of injuries precipitated a late season slide, did just that with a 10483 rout of Carlow University, Saturday afternoon,
in River States Conference action at the Newt
Oliver Arena.
The RedStorm improved to 15-13 overall and
6-10 in conference play with the victory, securing
the East Division No. 4 seed in the upcoming RSC
Tournament process.
The win was also the 550th in the 27-year career
as a collegiate head coach for Smalley - all of
which have been spent at his alma mater.
Carlow, which lost for the seventh straight time
since defeating Rio Grande in Pittsburgh on Jan.
22, dropped to 8-20 overall and 3-12 inside the
RSC.
The Celtics were playing their ﬁfth game since
losing junior center Emma Stille to a season-ending injury in a loss to Asbury University just four
days after the win over the RedStorm - a game in
which Stille ﬁnished with 14 points and a careerhigh 25 rebounds.
Nevertheless, Carlow enjoyed its largest lead
of the day, 22-17, after a conventional three-point
play by Gabby Olinger with 2:14 left in the ﬁrst
quarter.
Rio Grande rebounded with a 10-2 run close the
period with a three-point lead and never trailed
again.
The RedStorm led by as many as 14 points
before setting on an eight-point, 52-44, halftime
advantage.
The cushion remained at eight, 55-47, following
a trifecta by Carlow’s Delaney Daly with 5:55 left
in the third period, but Rio scored 13 of the next

Lady Raiders outlast Jackson
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

WELLSTON, Ohio —
It was everything you’d
expect in a play-in game
in which the winner faces
the top seed in the tournament bracket … including the ﬁnal result.
Eighth-seeded River
Valley led the ﬁnal 8:13
of regulation and used
an 11-5 fourth quarter
surge to move on Monday
night following a 35-27
victory over ninth-seeded
Jackson in a Division II
girls sectional semiﬁnal
basketball contest at
Wellston High School.
The Lady Raiders
(6-17) never trailed in the
ﬁrst half and twice led
by ﬁve points in the ﬁrst
quarter, but the Ironladies
(2-19) never trailed by
more than a possession
in the second frame while
whittling the deﬁcit down
to 15-13 at the break.
JHS took its only lead
of the night at the 5:45
mark of the third as Kaitlyn Kight netted a basket
for a 19-17 advantage,
but the Silver and Black
responded with a 7-3
run over the ﬁnal 4:05 to
secure a 24-22 edge entering the ﬁnale.
Jackson went more
than four minutes without a point down the
stretch, and the Lady
Raiders reeled off ﬁve
straight points for a
seven-point cushion.
The Red and White
answered with ﬁve consecutive points to close
the gap down to 31-27
with 3:05 left in regula-

tion, but the guests were
held scoreless the rest of
the way.
River Valley tacked on
a pair of Hannah Jacks’
buckets in the ﬁnal 2:36
of play to wrap up the
eight-point outcome —
the Lady Raiders’ largest
lead of the night.
Neither squad shot better than 30 percent from
the ﬁeld, and there were
only ﬁve ties and three
lead changes in the contest — with a majority of
those coming in the third
canto. Jackson led only
1:40 of the 32-minute
affair.
The Lady Raiders
secured their second
tournament victory in as
many years and will once
again face Vinton County
in a sectional ﬁnal for a
second postseason in a
row. That contest against
the Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division champions
will take place at 1 p.m.
Saturday at Wellston
High School.
Afterwards, RVHS
coach Stephen Roderick
noted that the contest
was anything but pretty.
But, as he mentioned, it’s
not the time of year to
worry about style points
… only results.
With that, the thirdyear coach was pleased
with the way his troops
found a way to grind out
this win … and put themselves in a position to win
a sectional title Saturday.
“Regardless of our
record, this a good win
for our program. We play
in a tough league and it
tested us, but the season

School in Wellston, Ohio.

starts over when you get
to the tournament. It’s
not easy to get a tournament win, so it was nice
to get out of here with
one and have another
game to look forward to,”
Roderick said. “It was
hardly our best effort,
and Jackson had a lot
to do with that, but our
girls came up with the big
plays when we needed
them.
“It’s good for these girls
to get to experience a
tournament win because
it shows that everything
we’ve worked for during
the regular season has
been rewarded. We know

Vinton County has a solid
team and that we have
nothing to lose Saturday,
but I want us to be able
to leave the court with a
good taste in our mouth
— regardless of the outcome. We’re going to roll
the ball out there and play
at least 32 more minutes,
so let’s see what we can
do with the time that we
have.”

All-Star game marks
latest milestone for
Michael Jordan

Lady Defenders sweep PCS, 22-12

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Buzz Peterson knew
Michael Jordan as well as anyone when they were in
college.
Roommates and teammates at North Carolina,
they spent countless days competing on the basketball court in practice and endless hours talking
hoops. Their nights often included shooting pool and
tossing cards in their Granville Towers South dorm
room. There often were arcade games — before the
home video game craze hit — at the Pump House on
Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill.
But Peterson never saw this coming: His roommate becoming an NBA owner and hosting the
league’s All-Star game in his home state of North
Carolina.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio
— Twenty games in,
and the record is back to
even.
The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team
picked up its 10th win of
the season on Monday
night inside its home
gymnasium, defeating
guest Parkersburg Christian 22-12 for the season sweep of the Lady
Knights.
OVCS (10-10) —
which also bested PCS
on Jan. 14 in Wood
County by a 41-17 tally
— led 6-3 minutes into
Monday’s contest. The
Lady Defender lead was
at double digits within
the ﬁrst six minutes of
the second quarter, and
the hosts settled for a
15-7 halftime advantage.
Ohio Valley Christian
pitched a shut out in
the third quarter and
headed into the ﬁnale
with a 20-to-7 lead. The
hosts led by as many as
14 points in the fourth
quarter and cruised to
the 22-12 win.

Cavs send Knicks to 17th straight loss
CLEVELAND (AP) — The
New York Knicks’ franchiserecord 17th straight loss might
have been the toughest one to
take.
The Knicks erased a 17-point
deﬁcit in the second half and
had several chances to take the
lead or tie the game in the ﬁnal
minute before falling to the
Cleveland Cavaliers 107-104 on
Monday night.
“It’s incredibly hard,” said
guard Dennis Smith Jr. “No one
wants to lose, especially 17 in
a row. Tonight would’ve been
major for us if we’d have pulled
it out.”
Collin Sexton, who led Cleveland with 20 points, hit two free
throws with 17 seconds remaining to put the Cavaliers up by
three.

John Jenkins missed a 3-pointer from the right corner, but
Smith grabbed the rebound and
dribbled to the left corner. He
also missed a 3-pointer and Larry
Nance Jr. tapped the rebound to
midcourt as time ran out.
Luke Kornet, who hit a pair
of 3-pointers down the stretch,
missed a wide-open 3 with 21
seconds remaining that would
have put the Knicks ahead.
“When you’ve got a chance
at the end, if you don’t win, it
hurts,” coach David Fizdale
said. “We had a shot — actually
two — and we got the look we
wanted. It just didn’t go down.
And before that, we got a real
good look from one of our best
shooters in Kornet.”
Nance had 15 points and 16
rebounds, while Jordan Clarkson

scored 15 points. Kevin Love had
14 points and nine rebounds in
his second game since returning
from foot surgery. The All-Star
forward played 16 minutes,
all in the ﬁrst half. Love was 4
of 10 from the ﬁeld, including
two 3-pointers, and had nine
rebounds.
Love played Friday against
Washington after missing 50
games. He scored four points in
six ﬁrst-quarter minutes.
“I felt like the last game I
wasn’t able to open up my lungs
like I was tonight,” Love said. “It
felt pretty good to get out there
and feel like I got in some sort of
rhythm.”
Love said he thinks he’ll play
Wednesday against Brooklyn in
Cleveland’s ﬁnal game before the
All-Star break.

OVCS knocks off Knights, 61-32
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
Senior night done right.
The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team
celebrated senior night in
style on Monday in Gallia
County, defeating guest
Parkersburg Christian by
a 61-32 count.
OVCS (5-14) — which
never trailed in the contest — fought through
just one tie, at 2-2, and
led 12-7 by the end of the
ﬁrst quarter.
The Knights were
within two points after a
5-to-2 run over the ﬁrst
2:30 of the second canto,
but the Defenders didn’t
allow another ﬁeld goal
in the half, closing with a
12-to-3 spurt for a 26-15
halftime lead.
The guests made the
opening bucket of the
second half, but Ohio Valley Christian reeled off a
dozen straight points and

led 38-17 with 1:45 left in
the third. After a pair of
PCS free throws, OVCS
scored the ﬁnal ﬁve
points of the quarter and
headed into the fourth
with a 43-19 advantage.
The Defender lead
grew to as many as 34
points in the ﬁnale, and
the hosts cruised to the
61-32 triumph.
Following the win,
Ohio Valley Christian
head coach Steve Rice
discussed the team’s slow
start and talked about his
trio of seniors.
“I thought we came out
not quite ready to play
in the beginning,” Rice
said. “In the second half
we came out with a sense
of urgency, tightened up
our defense quite a bit,
and started making some
shots.
“We have our three
seniors. Justin Beaver has
been with us throughout
his varsity career, he’s a
good leader, he’s scored

from the ﬁeld, including
1-of-7 (14.3 percent)
from beyond the arc. The
hosts were 6-of-9 (66.7
percent) from the foul
line, where PCS was 9-of16 (56.3 percent).
Ohio Valley Christian
claimed a narrow 39-to38 rebounding advantage, including 19-to-11
on the offensive end.
The Blue and Gold also
won the turnover battle,
committing 14 and forcing 25. Collectively, the

Russell leads Rio to Senior Day win over Celtics
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio
— As the only senior
on the University of
Rio Grande men’s
basketball roster, Earl
Russell had all of the
pregame recognition to
himself.
But once the RedStorm ﬁnally tipped
off their home ﬁnale
against Carlow University, the 6-foot-7 center
from Warrington,
England proved himself
worthy of the attention.
Russell poured in a
career-high 24 points to
pace a quartet of double-digit scorers for Rio
in a 101-72 rout of the
Celtics, Saturday afternoon, in River States
Conference action at
the Newt Oliver Arena.
The RedStorm
improved to 12-17
overall and 6-10 in
league play with their
third straight victory,

ofﬁcially securing a
berth in the upcoming
RSC Tournament in
the process.
The win, coupled
with Point Park University’s loss at West Virginia University-Tech,
vaulted Rio into third
place in the RSC East
Division standings.
Carlow slipped to
1-27 overall and 0-15
inside the RSC with
the loss, its 27th consecutive setback after a
season-opening win.
The Celtics took a
3-2 lead just 56 seconds
into the contest on a
three-pointer by Marcus Millien, but Rio
Grande responded with
43-10 run - culminated
by a pair of free throws
by junior Cameron Schreiter (Mason, OH) - to
take a 45-13 lead with
6:16 left in the ﬁrst
half.
Carlow got no closer
than 20 points the
rest of the way and

points.
Carlow, which made
things a bit more
respectable by shooting
62.5 percent from the
ﬂoor in the second half
following an 8-for-31
(25.8%) performance
before the intermission, also had four
players reach double
ﬁgures.
Rece Henneman
scored 16 of his teambest 18 points after
halftime, while Brenlee
Reedy ﬁnished with
15 points. Millien and
Travis Jordan tallied 11
points apiece in a losing cause.
Jordan also had six
rebounds.
Rio Grande will close
out its regular season
schedule next Saturday in Beckley, W.Va.
against WVU-Tech.
Tipoff is set for 3
p.m.

the RedStorm enjoyed
their largest lead of the
day - 33 points - when
a dunk by Russell with
15:34 remaining in the
contest made it 64-31.
The dunk was one
of six in the game for
Russell, who ﬁnished
11-for-13 from the
ﬁeld. He also had seven
rebounds, helping Rio
to a commanding 45-26
edge on the glass.
Rio also got 15
points and a game-high
ﬁve assists and two
steals from sophomore
Kyle Lamotte (Mason,
OH), while freshmen Joshua Anthony
(Newnan, GA) and
Bobby Anderson
(Catlettsburg, KY)
ﬁnished with 13 and 11
points, respectively.
Schreiter had a
game-high eight
rebounds in the winning effort for the
RedStorm, which had
all 10 players in uniform score at least two

Murray chooses NFL
MESA, Ariz. (AP) —
When Kyler Murray won the
Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma last season, the Oakland
Athletics knew there was a
chance he might chose football over baseball.
That is exactly what happened.
On the day the A’s started
spring training workouts,
Murray said he will pursue a
career in the NFL.
“I am ﬁrmly and fully
committing my life and time
to becoming an NFL quarterback,” Murray tweeted .
“Football has been my love
and passion my entire life. I
was raised to play QB, and
I very much look forward
to dedicating 100 percent
of myself to being the best
QB possible and winning
NFL championships. I have
started an extensive training program to further prepare myself for upcoming
workouts and interviews. I
eagerly await the opportunity to continue to prove to
NFL decision makers that I

in the win.
Bryce Gruber contributed four points to the
winning cause, while
Jeremiah Swab, Miciah
Swab and Joel Daugherty chipped in with two
each. Miciah Swab led
the OVCS defense with
ﬁve steals, followed by
Oliver and Dubs with
three steals and a block
apiece.
Trey Bennett paced
the guests with a doubledouble of 11 points and
16 rebounds, while leading the team’s defense
with two steals and a
block. Izaia Nazzlered
scored nine points for
PCS, Wyatt Eaton added
eight, while Kaleb Dean
scored four.
After hosting Heritage
on Tuesday, Ohio Valley
Christian will prepare
for its postseason opener
on Friday at New Hope
Christian in Circleville.

am the franchise QB in this
draft.”
Murray passed for 4,361
yards and 42 touchdowns
last season as the Sooners
landed a second straight
College Football Playoff
berth. He ran for 1,001
yards and another 12
scores, posting the secondbest passer efﬁciency rating
in Bowl Subdivision history.
He declared himself eligible for April’s NFL draft
last month. He is not a prototypical NFL quarterback
at just 5-foot-10 and 195
pounds, but his skills make
him an intriguing option.
The A’s thought so, too.
Murray was the ninth
overall pick in last June’s
baseball amateur draft, and
the outﬁelder agreed to a
minor league contract with
Oakland for a $4.66 million
signing bonus. The deal
called for him to receive
$1.5 million after approval
last summer by Major
League Baseball and $3.16
million on March 1.
