According to a news release from Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift, the Meigs County Children’s Services Agency received information on Friday of drug abuse allegedly going on inside of a residence in the village of Middleport. The alleged drug use was occurring around two children inside of the home, where one of the juveniles was reportedly accidentally “stuck” with a syringe. An investigation into the information received was conducted by an Investigator with Meigs County Children’s Services and the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office. As probable cause was developed it was discovered that a male from Cincinnati was staying inside of the residence, allegedly selling large quantities of methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana. The Major Crimes Task Force of Gallia and Meigs Counties along with the Middleport Police Department, Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, and Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office executed a search warrant at a residence located on South Second Avenue in Middleport. Officers located multiple individuals inside of the residence who were detained for questioning. Arrested at the scene was Antonio Ricardo Foster, 34, of Cincinnati after officers reportedly located approximately 10 grams of suspected methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana, See CHARGES | 8A A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 4A Weather: 8A B SPORTS Comics: 5B Classifieds: 6B JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Gallia recognizes POW, MIA Day Lost but not forgotten By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County remembered its lost and missing heroes Friday morning in remembrance of National POW and MIA Recognition Day by gathering in Gallipolis City Park to listen to Ron Wroblewski speak on unity in America. The event was presented by Gallia Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 709 and Post 4464 of the Gallia Veterans of Foreign Wars. The ceremony was introduced by Jim Cozza. The invocation was given by VVA Chaplain John Jackson. Presentation of the Colors was given by VFW Post 4464 Honor Guard. Grace Sydnor of Gallia Academy High School led the National Anthem and patriotic music for the day. Cozza next described the significance of the POW MIA Empty Chair Ceremony. The table symbolizes the frailty of an isolated prisoner. The tablecloth is white and symbolic of the purity of the individual’s intentions to respond to their country’s call to arms. A single rose in a vase signifies the blood shed in sacrifice for country. The ribbon on vase represents the ribbons worn on lapels of the thousands who demand a proper accounting of comrades not among the public. The slice of lemon on a plate reminds others of the bitter fate of the missing. The salt on the plate reminds others of the tears shed as families wait for their loved ones return.

GALLIA COUNTY — “I was making a lot of money in a quick manner, but I was doing a lot of damage in Gallia County,” said Amanda Chafin. “A lot of damage. I pray to God every day that, to my knowledge, I didn’t supply any lethal doses.” Now back to dealing, Chafin tried to get clean from heroin by replacing it with marijuana and managed to reduce her heroin usage significantly. By July 2, 2017, she had used heroin so little that when she took a dose, so she could tell a customer how it was, it was too much for her system. It would be the first time she was administered Narcan. After that incident, she managed to steer clear of heroin for 10 days, until the next batch came into town. She took a small amount, not realizing it was the new mixture often called “Gray Death” which is heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil. This time she woke up after being administered Narcan in the middle See DEALER | 5A OVB to break ground on Bend Area office Staff Report MASON — Ohio Valley Bank will have a groundbreaking ceremony at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, to honor the start of construction on its new Bend Area Office in Mason, West Virginia.

The use of “smart water meters” with many abilities is out there and we want to insure we choose what is best for our area and terrain. The Phase 10 project is a cooperative effort of a lot of people. “The District would like to thank our customers first simply because without their support in the past and future none of our projects would take place. The District strives with great efforts to install water lines on private property by the use of easements. Private property owners make our projects possible by eliminating the need to go in the public road right of ways with water lines,” stated the district in the news release. “When a water line is placed in the right of way, the water distribution system has to operate with a constant requirement to move from the public roads when asked or demanded. When we are on private property, the private land owner protects us from this intrusion. Past years of water line relocations from the pipelines along Route 50 in Athens County and SR 33 in Meigs County provided a lesson learned and highlighted the great value of private property owners past and present.” “For an infrastructure project of this size to happen, many people work together and it never goes unnoticed. We would like to thank the funding agencies like Ohio EPA and Buckeye Hills Regional Council for all the support, and the Leading Creek Conservancy District Manager Rocky Johnson and their Board of Directors for being good neighbors with support of an interconnect. We both hope to never have to use it, but it will be ready if or when it is needed,” concluded the news release from Poole.

As you can see, most of the tips are small lifestyle changes you can start doing immediately and cost nothing at all.

The day I knew would come. And it seems to be coming quickly. I mentioned in last week’s column that retirement is right around the corner for me, and some of my witty friends wanted to make sure I am aware of the unlimited opportunities that lay ahead of me. One friend sent me a small pamphlet containing several motivational phrases to keep in mind as the big day arrives. “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.” — Vince Lombardi “At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.” — Ann Pat Haley Landers Contributing Still another friend sent me a curicolumnist ous partial David Letterman Top Ten List about Mr. Peanut titled, “A Few Surprises in the Mr. Peanut Autobiography”: 10. First name Keith 9. His mother was half cashew 8. Sleeps in a big pile of dirt 7. Peanut language not that different from English 6. Once appeared at the Clinton County Corn Festival. I think he sent me the wrong list. I don’t know what Mr. Peanut or David Letterman, for that matter, have to do with retirement, other than one is retired and perhaps the other one should be. “What will you do once you retire?” I am asked often. My answer may surprise some people. I have always enjoyed buses and trains. Thinking back to my childhood, a special delight for me was when my mother and I traveled to the Xenia bus station and rode the Greyhound bus to Dayton, and then downtown to do Christmas shopping. It is a romantic notion to be sure, but the experience left a lasting impression on me. Years ago when son Greg was nine years old, he and I traveled to Columbus and rode the bus to go shopping. We passed by the House of Magic as we made our way downtown, looked out the window and saw the Peanut House on North High Street. (Yes, there was a giant Mr. Peanut lurking inside the store). We changed buses at High and Broad streets, and continued our journey out to the old Westland shopping center on the west side. I was in the market to buy a new police scanner and decided to go into the Sears store to look around. My nickname for Greg is “Bud.” As I looked at scanners, Greg knelt down and was also looking at the different scanners when an elderly salesperson with the name “Bud” on his name badge went over to Greg. With a scowl on his face and a loud voice, the man barked at Greg, “What do you think you are doing?” The older man scared young “Bud” so badly, Greg couldn’t seem to get up. Instead, he crawled all the way across the large room on his knees, back to the safety of my care. I walked over to the clerk and told him he had frightened my son, and we were taking our business elsewhere. Greg and I will reminisce and often have a good laugh about the tale of the “two Buds” and our bus ride in Columbus. As our talk shifts back to retirement, I told Brenda recently I might consider pursuing my longstanding desire to be a bus driver, perhaps in a large city, or more likely drive a tour bus for sightseeing trips and excursions. On the other hand, railroads have always fascinated me, as well. There is the element of adventure on a railroad I find most appealing, and the possibility of meeting a diversity of people is alluring, too. A few years ago, on an Amtrak train outside Charlottesville, Virginia, I heard the following dialogue between two middle-aged female passengers: “I received an interesting call yesterday,” the one woman said, pouring herself another drink. “Oh, really? What was it?” the second woman answered. “Do you remember Hugh O’Brian who used to play Wyatt Earp on television?” said the first woman. “He is coming to town and wants to have dinner with me.” The second woman didn’t look up from her newspaper, but said, “I think he died a few years ago. It sounds like a prank to me. Where are you going to eat?” “He didn’t say. He is going to call back tomorrow,” the first woman said. “Sounds like a prank to me,” as the second woman folded up her newspaper and said goodbye to her friend as they rolled into Culpepper. So the next time you hear, “Go Greyhound and Leave the Driving to Us” or the words, “All aboard! Tickets, please” … Look closely. It might be someone you know.

THEIR VIEW Give the gift that keeps on giving From a giant Boba Fett action figure to the first copies of my published book, I’ve received some pretty cool presents my previous 44 birthdays.

Obviously, however, the greatest gift I ever received on Sept. 19, came 45 years ago, when I received the gift of life. After greedily gobbling up gifts on all my previous birthdays, when it came time to celebrate my birthday this year, I decided it was time for me to start giving back on my birthday. I decided to give the gift of life. One of the joys of my most recent birthday was the fact I had to get my driver’s license renewed. On every previous trip to get my license renewed, it has been a pretty routine process. First, I grab a number and sit and wait in line for interminable amount of time. Then I usually sit there for a while before my social anxiety disorder kicks in and I start getting annoyed by the people around me. To pass the time, I’ll start making mental lists of all the reasons I dislike the complete strangers sitting around me. easily be proven After a while, false. they’ll eventually If you have any call my number and concerns about I’ll saunter up to the following, you one of the workers, really shouldn’t: who will begin askš�?\�oek�Wh[�i_Ya� ing me questions. or injured, they I’ll start off by lying David aren’t going to let about my weight.

Perhaps I was moved to do so by two of my friends and former coworkers, both of whom are anxiously awaiting organ transplants for their children. God forbid, maybe one of my loved ones will one day need an organ transplant and the pain of waiting and hoping is more than I can imagine. Or maybe I was motivated by one of my friends from college, who is battling leukemia and in need of a bone marrow transplant. Or maybe I’m just getting older and am continuously trying to find a kinder, gentler version of myself. Whatever the reason, I am now an organ donor. I don’t bring that up to put myself on a pedestal or hold myself up as some sort of martyr. I bring it up solely in hopes that it may make at least one person join me in considering organ donation. If you are interested, you don’t even have to wait until you renew your license. You can do so online at organdonor. gov. It’s fast. It’s easy. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Dean Wright | OVP VFW 4464 member Keith Sheets stands watch over the ceremonial POW and MIA Empty Chair and Table during a windy Friday morning. Gallia From page 1A The inverted glass is to remind others of those who cannot toast with their family and friends at the current time. The candles remind others of the light of hope that a soldier will return home. The American Flag reminds others that many may never return and reminds others of the pain and sacrifice to ensure freedom. Flags of the various military branches stand for those who served in their respective branches. The empty chair serves as the largest reminder of those who are still missing. Fred Mooney, of Northup, was killed in action February 27, 1971 as an Army Sergeant 1st Class in the country of Laos. Veterans and residents of Gallia remembered him Friday. Wroblewski was born in Charleston, W.Va, graduated from Gallia Academy High School and is a Vietnam combat veteran having served as a field radio operator with the United States Marine Corps from mid 1963 to late 1966 (Vietnam 1965-1966). He served as the day’s keynote speaker. He says his service connected disability hasn’t diminished his love for America or his desire to continue to give back to his country. He is currently serving as the President of TriState Chapter 949, Vietnam Veterans of America and the West Virginia Marine Corps Coordinating Council. VVA members say his accomplishments are many. He has been named a Hometown Hero. Some may say his most significant and most recent successful project was getting a U.S. Naval ship named in honor of Hershel “Woody” Williams, West Virginia’s only living Medal of Honor recipient. VVA members say it took 18 years of dedication to get the Navy to name the ship. Wroblewski noted that U.S. President Donald Trump was in the process of getting American soldier remains returned from the Korean War. He noted it may take many years to get them identified though. “Honored guests, friends and brother warriors, it’s an honor and a privilege to speak to you today,” said Wroblewski. “National POW and MIA Recognition Day is observed all across the nation on the third Friday of September each year. Many Americans across this great country pause and remember the sacrifices and service of those who are prisoners of war, POW, as well as those who remain missing in action, MIA, and their families. All military installations fly a POW and MIA flag which symbolizes the nation’s remembrance… We honor their sacrifice.” “We are Americans and we should be very proud of that,” said Wroblewski. “There was a report in Pakistan published in a newspaper of an offer of a reward for anyone who will kill an American, any American. So let’s just see what an American is so they know when they find one. An American is English, or French or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Russian or Greek. An American may be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Arab, Pakistani or Afghan. An American may also be Cherokee, Blackfoot, Navajo, Apache or one of the many other tribes known as Native Americans. An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, Buddhist or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in the US than there are in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship the way they choose. An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he must answer to God, not to the government or some armed thugs claiming to represent the government or God.” Wroblewski said Americans were found in a prosperous land rooted in free enterprise and the Constitution that recognized the “God-given right” of the pursuit of happiness. Americans are generous and had assisted many countries struggling throughout history, he said. “You can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did…and every other bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world,” said Wroblewski. “But doing so, you’d just be killing yourself. Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds that spirit, everywhere, is an American. Be proud America. You have just cause to be proud.” Robert Dunlap offered the closing prayer and VFW 4464’s Honor Guard held a closing rifle salute.

Sheets continued to move the ball on the drive, with the three yard touchdown run straight through the middle of the line. The pass attempt on the two point conversion was no good. Once again Eastern’s offense responded after the South Gallia score. Beginning the drive at their own 33 yard line, a mix of runs from Fitzgerald and Blake Newland moved the ball in to South Gallia territory, with Ridenour completing passes on three of the final four plays, including the eight yard touchdown pass to Blaise Facemyer. The two-point conversion pass on a fake kick attempt was good with holder Facemyer completing the pass to Fitzgerald. A fumbled hand-off on a fourth down play and an interception by Isaiah Fish ended the next two possessions for the Rebels, but Eastern would not gain a first down on wither of the resulting possessions. The Eagle took the 14-13 lead into the locker room at halftime, a score that would stand after 24 more minutes of play.

Faced with a fourthand-five from the 32 yard line of the Eagles, the pass fell incomplete, with Eastern also declining a holding penalty against the Rebels. Eastern’s drive stalled near mid-field, as they failed to convert on a fourth down and one, giving the ball back to South Gallia. The Rebels were unable to capitalize on the good field position, turning the ball over on downs at the Eastern 33 yard line. Eastern made steady progress into South Gallia territory before a fumbled snap which was recovered by Bevan, his second recovery of the game. Nate Durst intercepted the South Gallia pass three plays later to give the Eagles the ball back. The Eagles looked ready to score, with Ridenour attempting to run the ball in from nine yards out, but he ultimately fumbled on the one yard line, with the ball recovered by South Gallia’s Garrett See EASTERN | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, September 23, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel Belpre knocks off Tornadoes, 55-41 By Bryan Walters hauled in a 31-yard pass from Logan Drummer on Southern’s first TD — closed the gap down to BELPRE, Ohio — There was simply nothing 21-13 following a 65-yard first quarter run, but BHS left down the stretch. countered with a score The Southern football just before the stanza team dug itself an early 15-point hole and eventu- ended to secure a 28-13 ally climbed out, but host cushion.

That was the difference in the game,” added Smith. Offensively, Ridenour led the Eagles with a 12-of-18 passing performance for 129 yards.

Whether it was an eight-yard touchdown run to tie the game just before the half, a 14-yard scoring run to break a tie with 2:12 left in regulation, or fourth down pass deflection in the end zone on to seal the win, the Point Pleasant football team did whatever it took to claim a 41-34 victory over visiting Pikeville on Friday night at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field. Point Pleasant (5-0) took a 7-0 lead on its first possession of the game, as senior quarterback Cason Payne scored on a five-yard run, and Oliver Skeie made his first of four straight extra-point kicks. PPHS added on to its lead as time expired in the first quarter, with Brady Adkins diving across the goal line at the end of a 10-yard run. The Panthers (3-2) got on the board for the first time with 8:20 left in the second quarter, as Zack Roberts scored on a oneyard run. Tanner Hamilton made his first of three straight point-after kicks to cut the PPHS lead to 14-7. Pikeville tied the game with 4:53 left in the half, as Kyle Watking hauled in a 10-yard scoring pass from Conner Roberts. The guests took their first and only lead of the night with 2:07 left in the half, as Jackson Hensley made a leaping grab for a 20-yard touchdown pass from Conner Roberts. Point Pleasant’s offense snapped out of its cold spell and covered 74 yards in the next 1:53. With just 14 seconds left in the half, Payne dove to the corner of the end zone, capping off the drive and tying the game at 21 with an eight-yard scoring run. The Big Blacks regained the lead on their first drive of the second half, which Adkins capped off by stretching the ball across the goal line at the end of a threeyard run with 6:21 left in the quarter. Pikeville had an answer on its first possession of the half, as Conner Roberts connected with Jackson Hensley for a 54-yard scoring pass. The point-after kick missed, however, leaving the Big Blacks with a 28-27 advantage. Point Pleasant’s next drive took the game into its final quarter, and the hosts’ lead was increased to 34-27 with 11:15 left in regulation, as Payne dove into the middle of the end zone from two-yards out. Pikeville again answered the Big Blacks’ Photos by Alex Hawley|OVP Sports PPHS senior Cason Payne (7) dives across the goal line for the final touchdown of the Big Blacks’ 41-34 victory on Friday in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Josh Wamsley had a game-high eight receptions for 89 yards, while earning one yard over a pair of carries. Nick Parsons gained 23 yards on five carries, Joel Beattie had 20 yards on a trio of receptions, while Andrew Jones caught two passes for 17 yards, and James Musgrave had one grab for four yards. Payne, Johnson and Wyatt Wilson led the Point Pleasant defensive effort in the win. Conner Roberts — who led Pikeville on the ground with 88 yards over 13 tries — was 18-of-32 passing for 337 yards and three touchdowns.

(AP) — The Bengals have their offense revving in high gear. Cincinnati has put up 34 points in back-toback games to open the season, although quarterback Andy Dalton said they haven’t played a perfect game. “We left some stuff out there,” Dalton said. “We can definitely improve and get better. (But) if we’re saying that and scoring 34 points, that’s a good thing.” Dalton and the Bengals will look to fix those “little things” and start 3-0 for the fifth time in coach Marvin Lewis’ 16 seasons when they visit the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Panthers are coming off an uncharacteristically poor defensive performance in a 31-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, prompting coach Ron Rivera to say he wouldn’t tolerate laziness on defense . The big change from last year’s 0-3 start for the Bengals has been up front. The offensive line was a mess last season, the main reason they finished last in the league in offense. Coordinator Bill Lazor was given freedom to redesign the offense. He overhauled the line, and the Ben- gals have new starters at four positions. So far that line has meshed well together, allowing just two sacks — none in a 34-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 13. “Anytime you have time back there you can step into your throws, and you can put the ball where you want it,” Dalton said of the protection in the team’s 2-0 start . Another adjustment has been lining up wide receiver A.J. Green in different spots on offense. Green caught three first-half touchdown passes from the slot against the Ravens. Cornerback James Bradberry will cover Green most of the time, but there will be occasions Green could face nickel back Captain Munnerlyn in the slot, where he’ll have a significant height advantage. “The reason they are moving him around is to try to create opportunities for him. You just got to have a package that can counter it,” Rivera said of Green. History of 3-0 The Bengals also started 3-0 in 2005, 2006, 2014 and 2015, making the playoffs in three of those years before losing in the first round each time. Buccaneers ready to showcase potent offense against Steelers TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — So much for struggling without Jameis Winston. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not only thriving in the suspended quarterback’s absence, they’re evolving into an offensive juggernaut that’s set to perform on a national stage when the Pittsburgh Steelers visit Monday night. Thanks to Ryan Fitzpatrick and a talented collection of playmakers that include DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans, O.J. Howard and Chris Godwin, the Bucs (2-0) are off to their best start in eight years and have the NFL’s topranked offense. The Steelers (0-1-1) are not far behind at No. 2, however inconsistency on defense has Ben Roethlisberger and Co. winless through two weeks. “I respect what they’ve done. I’m not so sure I’m surprised,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of Tampa Bay’s emergence with wins against the New Orleans Saints and the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. They’ve done it with Fitzpatrick, a 35-yearold journeyman who has thrown TD passes for seven NFL franchises, delivering the best two games of his career. “Man, he’s got some explosive weapons. He’s stepping in for Winston, but Fitz is not a step-in guy. This guy has started in multiple cities,” Tomlin said. “We’ve seen him extensively in Cincinnati and Buffalo. He’s a smart guy, Ivy Leagueeducated, always made good decisions. That’s why he’s been able to sustain himself and play for the length of time that he’s played.” Classifieds LEGALS EMPLOYMENT REAL ESTATE Legals Drivers & Delivery Land (Acreage) +DUULVRQ 7RZQVKLS V 2FWREHU PHHWLQJ KDV EHHQ FKDQJHG IURP WKH �WK WR WKH �WK DW WKH UHJXODU WLPH DQG SODFH� 7RQL )RUG )LVFDO 2IILFHU +DUULVRQ 7RZQVKLS ��������676 BRYANT TRANSPORTATION 740-245-5002 HIRING NOW CLASS A & B Help Wanted General 14 Acres near Ashton. 0DWXUH ZRRGV� VWUHDP� HDV\ DFFHVV� SULYDF\� JUHDW FDPSLQJ� �������� 2ZQHU ILQDQFLQJ ZLWK ����� GRZQ �����PWK IRU �� \UV� &DOO IRU PDSV� ��� ��������� brunerland.com Land (Acreage) *DOOLD &R� � DFUHV ������ RU 9LQWRQ �� ZRRGHG DFUHV ������� � PRUH # ZZZ�EUXQHUODQG�FRP RU FDOO ������������� ZH ILQDQFH� ANNOUNCEMENTS Notices *LYHDZD\ .HQPRUH VLGH [ VLGH UHIULJHUDWRU� ZKLWH KDV LFH PDNHU DOO ZRUNV ILQH FDOO ������������ American Legion Post #140 is now accepting applications for the position of Bar Manager and Maintenence Man.
