In the 44-page filing, the village asserts that it is the owner of the property which is located next to the Rutland Civic Center. The village, per its own admission, entered into a contract with Commerce Street Partners LLC (CSP), for the purpose of constructing a Dollar General on the property. In addition to the bus garage property, the property directly in front of it where a log cabin currently sits would also be sold to CSP. The sale of the property was directly negotiated between the village and the buyer, with the property never advertised for sale as is required under Ohio law. The filing states that in March 2016 the village was approached by CSP regarding the possibility of purchasing the property. The parties negotiated an agreement, with a contract executed on June 24 and 25. Per the contract, which is attached to the village’s answer and counter claim, CSP was to pay the village an amount of $60,000 for the property. The filing states that at the time of the contract, both the old bus garage and the cabin were both liabilities to the village due to the building conditions. Should the property be sold and demolished for the Dollar General store then the liability would no longer exist, as well as removing the “eyesores” from property within the village. The village states that a title search on the property completed by Title First Agency Inc. of Columbus shows the village as the owner. (Note: It has been stated since the start of the case by both parties that the deed remained in the village’s name). The village filing response acknowledges that Commis- sioner Randy Smith spoke at a council meeting in August 2016 claiming that the county owned the bus garage property, based on his interpretation of the contract. The village contends that this was the first time any member of the Meigs County Commissioners had asserted a claim to the parcel of property. After the council meeting, the village took steps to examine and confirm their ownership, which it did, according to the filing. The sale of the property was to close on Jan. 26, 2017, but See RUTLAND | 5A Loveland man pleads guilty to sex offenses By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Cincinnati are man pleaded guilty on Friday to charges related to attempting to meet an underage female for sex, as well as sending a photo to the victim. James M. Morger, 29, of Loveland (Hamilton County), pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree felony charge of importuning and the fifth-degree felony charge of disseminating matter harmful to a juvenile during a hearing in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Morger had been scheduled to go to trial on Monday on the charges. According to previous Sentinel reports, Morger was arrested in mid-January in Middleport after allegedly driving there from the Cincinnati area to meet a 14-year-old girl to engage in sex. The disseminating charge relates to Morger allegedly sending a picture of his genitalia to a 14-year old female, while the importuning charge falls under the classification as law enforcement posing as the 14 year old whom Morger allegedly thought he was soliciting for sex. Morger, who was represented by retained counsel John Kaspar of Lebanon, Ohio, is on probation in Warren County and will now be transported there on any probation violation complaint prior to sentencing in the Meigs County case. According to previous Sentinel reports, Morger previously pleaded guilty in Warren County to possession of marijuana, attempted illegal manufacture of drugs, and child endangering. Morger was sentenced to a total of three years in prison. According to reports in the Dayton Daily News at the time Morger pleaded guilty to the charges in the case, with the additional charges of possession of criminal tools, disseminating material harmful to juveniles, trafficking in marijuana and possession of drugs dismissed.

For the best local news coverage, visit mydailytribune.com Jenkins’ raid across the Ohio Valley By Chris Rizer Special to OVP By August of 1862, the country was in a state of chaos. Even our little Mason County, far removed from the front lines of the Civil War, was facing threats of destruction. As soon as Virginia’s secession was announced, Confederate Captain O. Jennings Wise threatened an attack on the Union-supporting Bend Area. Luckily, he never showed. However, one general was brave enough to march directly into Union territory with only 500 men behind him. On August 11th, 1862, President Lincoln called for 5,000 troops from the Kanawha Valley to reinforce Washington, D.C. Such a drastic drop in defenses wouldn’t go unnoticed for long, and sure enough, CSA General William Loring ordered a raid through western Virginia. Leading the raid was tasked to General Albert Gallatin Jenkins, a native of Cabell County. He and 500 cavalrymen set out on August 20th with one goal in mind: terrorize the Unionists in western Virginia. He began his ride in Monroe County, but quickly headed north. They fought their way through the state, capturing Buckhannon, Weston, Glenville, Spencer, and Ripley. At Ravenswood, a hotbed of Confederate support, he met little resistance, and defiantly marched into Ohio. During his short time there, he became the first to raise the Confederate flag on Union soil. Continuing his march, he arrived in Racine on September 4th. Jenkins wrote that multiple Confederate sympathizers came out to greet him upon his arrival in Racine, though there is no other evidence to support this. He enlisted the help of a local riverboat pilot to help him cross back into Virginia, but the man tried to trick Jenkins into crossing in an area where his entire army would’ve drowned. Upon realizing this, Jenkins sent the man home and found another pilot who was more than willing to help. He crossed the Ohio using Wolf’s Bar, roughly where Mountaineer Power Plant is today. From here, Jenkins needed the fastest route to Point Pleasant, which was through the Dutch Flats. Once he crossed into Broad Run’s valley, he led his army along the creek. Near the Broad Run “Barn” Church, he came across a bizarre sight. A woman, one of the countless Roushes, was trying to hide her feather bed in a tree. Approaching her, he asked, “Ma’am, may I ask what you’re doing?” Almost as if the answer was obvious, she replied, “General Jenkins is coming, and burning everything in his path! I need to hide my bed!” Jenkins immediately burst into laughter. “Ma’am, I am General Jenkins, and I can assure you that I am not here to burn your belongings.” He helped get her bed down, and I’m sure she must’ve been very embarrassed. However, she was also grateful, as she lent him one of her horses. Jenkins left and continued his march. Soon after, the woman’s husband arrived home, and determined to retrieve his horse, he chased after Jenkins. He caught up with the Confederate army somewhere near White Church, and Jenkins was more than happy to return the horse. As I previously wrote, Jenkins also lost five of his soldiers along Broad Run. It is not known how they died, only that they received a “Christian burial to the right of Broad Run Church.” This could only have been Zion Lutheran, the “Barn Church.” Their burial would have been conducted by the pastor at the time, Rev. John W. Miller. Their graves were left unmarked. Continuing on, Jenkins followed Robinson and Oldtown Creek through what is now the TNT Area, coming out just north of Point Pleasant. He advanced into town, where the Federal troops had barricaded themselves in the courthouse. Rather than try and take the building, Jenkins distracted them with some cannon fire while his army crossed the Kanawha River. To finish his raid, Jenkins traveled through Milton, Barboursville, Guyandotte, Logan, Pineville, and Beckley. On September 12th, he reported back to General Loring and participated in the Battle of Charleston.

Ohio soldier killed in raid in Afghanistan CLEVELAND (AP) — The U.S. military says a 23-year-old soldier from Ohio was among two Army Rangers killed in a raid in Afghanistan who may have died as the result of friendly fire. The Department of Defense said in a statement Friday that Cameron Thomas, of Kettering, in southwest Ohio, was killed in the raid Wednesday on an Islamic State compound in eastern Afghanistan. The military is investigating to see if he and the other soldier who died were accidentally killed by ground fire from Afghan commandos or other American forces.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A proposal to freeze enrollment under Ohio’s Medicaid expansion was gaining traction Friday as a way to secure enough conservative support to get the state budget through the Ohio House. The move once again appeared to be pitting the state’s Republican-controlled state Legislature against GOP Gov. John Kasich, who made an end-run around skeptical lawmakers in 2013 to push through the expansion allowed under the federal health care overhaul. Kasich has remained an outspoken advocate at the state and national levels for the expansion, which now covers nearly 720,000 Ohioans. It was not immediately clear how the proposal might impact state funding for drug addiction and behavioral services, even as the House GOP has set tackling Ohio’s opioid epidemic as its top budget priority. A potentially substantial portion of the $650 million federal match Ohio receives annually through Medicaid for drug addiction and behavioral services could be jeopardized by the freeze. Nearly 500,000 low-income adults have been treated for mental health and addiction through Medicaid benefits extended to the working poor. The loss in federal matching funds could exceed the $170 million earmarked for a host of drug treatment, education, outreach and rehabilitation initiatives in the House version of the budget. House Finance Chairman Ryan Smith, of Bidwell, said the financial ramifications of supporting the freeze are being studied. He said he expected the freeze to be discussed at a meeting on the budget Saturday. “It’s on a few people’s lists,” Smith said. “I think it’s important to a number of members.” The $66 billion, two-year spending blueprint is set for a House vote next week. The freeze amendment was proposed by freshman state Rep. Wes Goodman, a Cardington Republican. It calls for prohibiting any new enrollees to Medicaid who qualify through the federal Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Current enrollees could stay on the program until they became ineligible or until Congress acted to reduce the federal match, whichever came first. State Rep. Larry Householder, a Republican former speaker who supports the freeze, said Ohio must rein in its Medicaid spending before it swallows the budget. “With the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, what we’re doing is taking people (into the program) up to 138 percent of poverty level,” he said. “With Medicaid being such a huge issue in our budget, our answer can’t be to put more people on.” �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, April 30, 2017 3A GALLIA, MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Revival LEON — A revival with Evangelist Rev.

In fact, I don’t think anyone thinks of me in that way at all, least of all me. And I don’t blame them. Back in the day I would unthinkingly contribute to the expansion of the landfill via my friendly neighborhood trash hauler, blissfully unaware each week that my little bit of throw-away ate up more space with stuff like plastic that didn’t immediately decompose, but seemed Kevin to have a half-life longer than that of Kelly Contributing the nuclear radiation still clinging to Chernobyl. columnist The lessons of public service messages from my youth when Earth Day became an annual observation had left an impression on my adult years. I learned not to throw bags of trash from whatever car I was driving, lest it fall at the feet of Iron Eyes Cody as he stood in full tribal regalia along the highway, a tear rolling down his face as he silently lamented what terrible stewards of the planet we had become as we struggled to “Keep America Beautiful.” (Seriously, that television spot said a lot to me in the ’70s and in its occasional revivals. And yes, I am aware that Cody was not a Native American, but the image he presented helped make the piece work). In fact, about the only thing I did toss from a moving vehicle was a spent can of pop that, thanks to summertime, a wasp decided to make its home. To be truthful, for a long “People honestly time I hadn’t given much had no idea what thought to recycling, one I meant by ‘soda,’ of the more easily accomplished of individual tasks unless it was in keeping our communithe baking kind ties clean, maintaining the for the care and viability of dump sites and re-purposing material from well-being of what was in their what we used to call junk to something useful. Living refrigerator.” with some serious (diet) pop drinkers took me to the conclusion that we were giving up a lot of aluminum to the trash pickup when we had recycling bins close by where cans could be hauled away to centers that turned the refuse into more aluminum for more pop cans and other products. Yes, I realize pop (or soda, if you prefer) has become the new tobacco in the eyes of the medical community, but there are still folks who can quaff the stuff in moderation without the risk of sudden diabetes or dementia, and therefore, still provide a market for soft drink makers. Don’t agree? Fine. Call me irresponsible. Additionally, the idea of some financial gain from taking cans or other acceptable items to a recycling center, such as Gallipolis’ L&L Scrap Metals Recycling Inc., is an attractive proposition. A gamble on some days depending on the market value of aluminum, you at least walk away with something in your pocket. (A word to the wise: make it easy on the guys handling your drop-offs and separate tin containers used in canned goods from the aluminum preferred for pop). Plastics and cardboard are something else again, but are accepted at recycle bins. While the distance to the bins may discourage some from making use of them, that doesn’t appear to be the case where I live — ours is usually jammed to the top by the end of the week. And you never would have expected that recycling can be good for your health. I’m now on my second can crusher and my twice-a-week orgy of squashing empties has to be a boon for my upper body strength, if nothing else, as the crushing mechanism is manipulated. (Now if it would only work on that waistline). At least I like to think the labor that goes with this recycle business is a positive. The last trip to L&L left myself and Scott Efaw, who graciously helped me, exhausted more from picking up bags that had fallen off the bed of the truck we used while enroute than from loading and unloading them. Wait — was that a sort-of Native American we saw standing along the roadside? More than a decade ago, the entertainers Penn & Teller had a cable TV show — whose title I can’t repeat here — which debunked current trends and campaigns, including recycling, which they found ineffective and actually a contributor to the world waste problem. In other words, there was so much recycled material produced that industry and society couldn’t use, so it all ended up back on the trash pile. I tend not to agree with that analysis and hope that the technology has improved since that show aired, upgraded to the point that people shouldn’t allow themselves to be deterred from doing their own recycling and taking advantage of programs that offer the service. Or the free dump days offered at the landfill or by See RECYCLING | 5A THEIR VIEW Ann Coulter was right Look, I’m the guy who once called her a “viperous harridan,” OK? That was 11 years ago in this space. I described her as such after she savaged four widows whose husbands died in the Sept. 11 attacks, denouncing them as “witches” and “broads” who were “enjoying their husbands’ deaths.” So I don’t need to be convinced Ann Coulter is a bad person. But for as much as readers with whom I have been sparring on Twitter the last few days might wish otherwise, her character is not the issue here. “Here” meaning last week’s standoff between the abrasive conservative pundit and the University of California, Berkeley. As you may know, Coulter was invited to speak on the famously liberal campus, but UCB first restricted the time of day she could do so, then tried to convince her to switch to a day when classes are suspended as students study for finals.

It wouldn’t matter if it were Louis Farrakhan at Ole Miss or Bernie Sanders at the High School of Economics and Finance just off Wall Street. The right to free expression is either secured for all or it’s guaranteed to none. So here is what should offend you even more than Coulter, particularly if you live in a place like Berkeley, with its 121,000 people and 170 police officers. A bunch of thugs just established that you can bully a public institution in a relatively small town into disinviting a controversial speaker. Which of our other freedoms will they come after next? Coulter called Wednesday “a sad day for free speech.” This next sentence will cause physical pain for some of you to read, but you need to just the same: Ann Coulter was right.

I hope the residents of Gallia County realize what a wonderful health care facility you have in the Holzer Cancer Center affiliated with the James Center at OSU. The employees of the Holzer Cancer Center are some of the most compassionate, caring, friendly, and competent persons I have had the privilege to observe and work with. From the receptionist , to the nurses, the billing specialist, the social worker, the pharmacists, and all in the Infusion center, my mother was treated as if she was a family member and friend to all! Her hematologist-oncologist, Dr. Kunter, was first class in all aspects of medicine. Most importantly, she treats you as a person and not a number. If anyone unfortunately needs cancer services in Gallia County, the Holzer Cancer Center would be a first class place to go. I am proud to call Gallipolis a place I grew up! Dear Editor, There are two sides to every budget. Income and outgo. If these two don’t balance you either have a surplus or a deficit. Since 1950 the US government has been running a budgetary deficit almost every year. Every politician wants to get elected so they promise tax cuts. They promise economic growth that will offset the reduction in revenue that adds to the deficit. It has never happened! Reagan promised trickle down effect and had a spike of the national debt from $998 million to $2.5 trillion. Bush promised a tax recovery act and the deficit has been going up ever since to $20.1 trillion today. Now we have Trump wanting to cut taxes again promising growth will offset the loss of revenue. Given the past record which way do you think the deficit will go? When will we start seeing responsible government policy? Will it happen before we are bankrupt as a nation? In a cruel twist, I am sure you are surprised to see most of the tax cuts went to the wealthiest and corporations. Gary Smith, MD Ulysses ‘Les’ Grant Davis Midland, Mich.

When I first came to Ohio some four decades ago, one of the first words I had to drop from my everyday vocabulary was “soda” when referring to a Pepsi, Mr. Pibb or other vending machine beverage. It was “pop.” People honestly had no idea what I meant by “soda,” unless it was filing states. The actions, the village contends, were interference of the contract between CSP and the village, as well as interference of a business relationship between the parties.

Fresh off of their first loss in over a 10 days, the Eastern baseball team never trailed en route to a 12-9 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Belpre, on Thursday night in Washington County. Eastern (13-4, 12-3) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning, when Owen Arix singled home Ethen Richmond, and then scored on a single by Austin Coleman. The visiting Eagles moved ahead 6-0 in the top of the third, as Nate Durst single home Kaleb Hill, Richmond singled home Josh Brewer, and then both Durst and Richmond scored on a single by Arix. Eastern’s lead grew to 9-0 in the top of the fourth, when Richmond singled home both Hill and Durst, and then scored on a double by Arix. Belpre (7-15, 5-10) began fighting back in the bottom off the fourth, scoring four runs on four hits, a walk and an error. The Green, White and Gold got two of those runs back in the top of the fifth, as Hill singled home Coleman and John Little. BHS took advantage of four EHS errors in the sixth frame, scoring five runs to cut the Eagle lead to just two runs, at 11-9. The guests scored an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning, as Hill drove in Coleman. Belpre brought the potential game-tying run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, but a flyout to centerfield sealed Eastern’s 12-9 victory. Brewer earned the pitching victory in relief, striking out one batter in 1.2 innings, while allowing two runs, two hits and three walks. Richmond started and pitched two innings for the victors, striking out four and allowing just one hit. Little pitched the final 4.1 innings, allowing seven runs, on eight hits and a walk.

I’m also excited about the opportunity to work on and develop my skills even more. I know that a lot of people don’t have this opportunity. I also want to meet of all my teammates because I’ve only met them one time. I’ll develop life-long friendships with that too.” Toler was a three-year varsity member for the Raiders, including captain her senior season. As a senior, she captured Division III District 13 second-team accolades, as well as all-Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division honors. However, Toler said she wasn’t originally looking to play volleyball — when she applied and was subsequently accepted to Findlay. She said both the University of Rio Grande and Wittenberg expressed interest, but she was more interested in Findlay’s Business Management program — with a minor in Music. Toler said the Oilers’ assistant coach —Annie Coger —contacted her. “I had been accepted to Findlay, but I didn’t really look into their volleyball program. She (Coger) messaged me on my recruiting website, and actually asked me to come practice with them. I was there with two other girls my age and we practiced with the varsity team. That’s how they found me,” said Toler. Toler said she was used to playing travel volleyball and attending camps against players older, and almost a foot taller, than her. She said “something started to click” after playing against girls in club ball who had committed to Division I programs. In fact, she said Middle Tennessee asked her to join its program as a walk-on. “I realized I can do this and it didn’t scare me anymore,” Angel said. “You just have to go with it and just go play.” Denise Toler coached her daughter in club ball —before coaching her for her first three years of high school. She was primarily a setter as a senior, but “I definitely prefer to play libero”, she said with a slight laugh. “She played on a high-level 18-andunder travel team. She is used to playing against girls older than her,” Denise said. “With her hard work and all of the things she wanted to do, all of the things fell into place this year. Doors opened and closed right when they were supposed to.” The coach, and mother, talked about first-hand witnessing Angel evolve into a quality player for a sport she loved. And now, Angel’s love for volleyball has resulted in a dream becoming reality. “It was very rewarding for me and for our family. My husband (Chris) was my assistant coach in our travel ball, so he got to be with us a lot as well. Watching Angel grow to love something that I had loved from the time she was little, she had been around the game since probably before she went to school, because I coached years ago. Watching her develop and grow that love herself, and then wanting to pursue getting better, it became not so much a drive for me, but for her own pursuit to get better,” Denise said. “As she matured as a player, she was able to take on some of that leadership herself and own some of her game. That was really fun to watch.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 Sunday Times-Sentinel GA’s Stevens set to wrestle at Otterbein By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — Todd May tried hard to remember a match that Jared Stevens missed. He couldn’t think of such an instance, which means — most likely at the collegiate level — Stevens likely won’t miss a beat. That’s because Stevens, the third all-time winningest wrestler in the history of Gallia Academy High School, announced his intention last Thursday to wrestle at Otterbein University. Stevens’ signing ceremony took place in the Gallia Academy High School Media Center, as he was flanked by his parents Kent and Dawn Stevens; Gallia Academy High School head wrestling coach May; and Gallia Academy High School Athletic Director Adam Clark. Stevens will wrestle for the Cardinals, an Ohio Athletic Conference program which is a member of the NCAA Division III. Otterbein is located in Westerville, and is coached by third-year mentor Brent Rastetter. Stevens graduates from Gallia Academy with 176 career victories, trailing only Cole Tawney and Brandon Taylor for the most all-time wins in school history by a single win. As a freshman, Stevens qualified for the Division II state wrestling tournament in the lightweight 106-pound weight class, as he then was an alternate to the state meet in his final three years as a Blue Devil. Now, Stevens said he is ready to change colors from Blue and White to Cardinal and Tan — as well as the style of wrestling on the mat. “I’m excited to see how I can advance my wrestling career and how I can improve at the collegiate level,” said Stevens. “The style of wrestling is different in college, so I will have to adapt to that new style. I want to thank Paul Boggs | OVP Sports Gallia Academy High School’s Jared Stevens, seated center, announces his intention to wrestle collegiately at Otterbein University. Seated with Stevens are mother Dawn Stevens (left) and father Kent Stevens (right). Standing are Gallia Academy High School wrestling coach Todd May (left) and Gallia Academy High School Athletic Director Adam Clark (right). my family and my coaches and Coach Rastetter for the opportunity he is giving me at Otterbein.” Stevens said he “received letters from other schools, but the other schools I was looking at did not have wrestling programs or I wasn’t interested in wrestling for.” He said Rastetter contacted him last fall about making a visit to Otterbein, and came away “really impressed” about its engineering program. Stevens — the Gallia Academy academic key winner along with his sister Jenelle —plans to major in Systems Engineering. “Their engineering program really sold me to go to Otterbein,” he said. “It’s all state-of-the-art and a handson program. I felt this was the best fit for me.” On the mat, Stevens will wrestle in likely the 125 or 133-pound weight classes. He competed at 106 as a sophomore following his state meet appearance, then wrestled at 113 as a junior — and at 120 this past year. In all four years at GAHS, Stevens finished fifth or better at the Division II district tournament, including in the top four as a freshman. May said Stevens started wrestling when he was five years old. “I’ve had him (Stevens) in the (GAHS) program since he was basically a baby. He went from the team mascot to the team stud,” said the coach. “He is a by-product of the kids that have come through the whole system. He has been a very big part of our wrestling program ever since he started. He traveled with us everywhere. It didn’t matter if it was in middle school or high school, he would take on anybody in a match anywhere or anytime.” And he usually won, whether the match result was a forfeit or not. That’s because he has remained healthy throughout his entire career. “He’s super durable. I seriously can’t ever remember him missing a match or even a practice due to injury or anything else that would hold him out. I don’t think he missed a one in his whole career. That’s crazy. I don’t think anyone that’s ever come through this program can ever say that. When’s he had to make weight, he’s made weight. He can wrestle any weight class he is asked,” said May. “I honestly think the college style is going to help him. I think that’s going to be an easy transition. I can see him winning matches right away. Because he understands that style. He’ll find the right weight class where he is competitive at.” Indeed, don’t expect Stevens to miss a match at Otterbein either, which means he likely won’t miss a single solitary beat. “It’s been one heck of a ride with him. He’s been first, second or third in every school record we have here. What more can you ask from a kid?” said May. “It’s nice to have a kid that is always ready to wrestle. People will say he is lucky to be that size, but he’s also lucky to be that size AND that healthy. He didn’t have to miss matches. He grew up in wrestling. He’s intelligent, he’s a good kid and he will be a good fit for Otterbein.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2106 Belpre bounces Lady Eagles, 3-2 By Alex Hawley games — left two runners in scoring position in the second inning, but made up for it in the third.
