Congressman,
officials discuss
riverbank issues
By Lorna Hart
Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — Congressman Bill Johnson
made an unplanned
stop in Pomeroy last
Tuesday at the request
of acting Mayor Don
Anderson.
The Congressman
had a full schedule that
included a broadband
meeting at the Chester
Courthouse and a visit
to the Meigs County
Fair, but agreed to meet
with Anderson and
council member Nick
Michael concerning
erosion and slippage
along the riverfront.
“Erosion along the
river in Pomeroy is an
important, public safety
emergency,” Johnson

said. “Slippage is
threatening a very narrow section of highway.
This is a serious situation.”
According to Anderson, the Army Corps
of Engineers and the
Ohio Department of
Transportation have
already presented the
village with an estimate of $1.92 million;
that price tag includes
restoration and repair,
along with necessary
paving at the site of the
slippages, located near
the Pomeroy Municipal
Building and the deteriorated historic wall in
the downtown parking
lot. In between the two
sites the Army Corps of

Rio nursing graduates celebrate
By Jessica Patterson
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE — The
University of Rio Grande
and Rio Grande Community College recognized
their 2017 graduates
from the Holzer School
of Nursing’s Hybrid
LPN-RN Advanced
Placement Track with a
pinning ceremony Friday, Aug. 11.
Dr. Donna Mitchell,
dean of the College of
Professional and Technical Studies, said the students have worked hard
throughout the year to
succeed in the program.
“The pinning ceremony is a celebration
of the nursing students’
completion of study in a
program,” Mitchell said.
“I’ve watch these students from their ﬁrst day
of the program to this
point. It is a great deal
of hard work. Because
this is an online program,
the students have spent
many hours doing the
work on their own, so I’m
extremely proud of this
group of graduates. The
majority of our students
stay within the region, so
this gives them a chance
to get a quality nursing
education in the community they plan to serve as
registered nurses.”

The recent graduates of the Holzer School of Nursing’s LPN-RN program participate in the
traditional candle lighting during the pinning ceremony for recent graduates of the Hybrid LPNRN Advanced Placement Track.

LPN-RN Advanced Placement Track will earn
an Associate of Applied
Science Degree in Nursing Technology. Students
begin the program in the
fall, taking courses over
two fall, two spring and
one summer semesters.
All of the courses for
this program are online
with the exception of the
clinical, which provides
students an opportunity
to get hands-on training
experience in the ﬁeld.
Dr. Bonnie Allen Smith,
Rio’s new nursing program director, said the
ceremony signiﬁes the
students have successfully fulﬁlled the program
requirements.
“This is a pathway for
the students to move
forward and progress

in their chosen profession,” Allen Smith said.
“This accomplishment is
essential to the workforce
they are about to enter as
registered nurses. These
students have a passion
for nursing and will go on
to do the very best they
can in the ﬁeld.”
The event was Allen
Smith’s ﬁrst experience
at one of Rio’s nursing
pinning ceremonies. She
said she enjoyed seeing
the students’ excitement
and watching them light
candles, a signiﬁcant
part of the ceremony
with a long history.
“The ceremony is a
tradition in nursing education that can trace back
to Florence Nightingale,”
Allen Smith said. “Nightingale was the Lady with

the Lamp to the soldiers
ﬁghting the Crimean
War. She carried the
lamp to give hope to the
soldiers that help was on
the way and they would
soon start to feel better. I think it’s great Rio
includes the candle lighting tradition in the pinning ceremony because
it is is a reﬂection of this,
signifying that as nurses,
we will also provide
comfort and light for
our patients. I know our
graduates will go on to
fulﬁll that promise.”

Trump preaches unity to vets after fiery political speech
RENO, Nev. (AP) — A
day after a searing speech
tearing into the media
and members of his own
political party, President
Donald Trump returned
to calls for unity and love
as he spoke to veterans
Wednesday at an American Legion conference.
“We are here to hold
you up as an example of
strength, courage and
resolve that our country
will need to overcome the
many challenges that we
face,” Trump told the veterans, speaking in measured tones and adhering
to his prepared remarks.
He said all Americans
must learn the same work
ethic, patriotism and
devotion as veterans.
The messaging zigzag appears to reﬂect
the president’s real-time
internal debate between
calls for moderation and
his inclination to let
loose. Trump had opened
his Tuesday rally in Phoenix much the same way
— but quickly erupted
in anger, blaming the
media for the widespread
condemnation of his
response to violence at a
Charlottesville, Virginia,
protest organized by
white supremacists.
At the Phoenix rally,
he read from his three
responses to the racially
charged violence, becoming more animated with
each one. He withdrew
from his suit pocket the
written statement he’d
read the day a woman
was killed by a man who’d
plowed a car through
counter-protesters, but he
skipped over the troublecausing part that he’d
freelanced at the time: his
observation that “many
sides” were to blame.
That, as well as his
reiteration days later
that “both sides” were
to blame for the violence
that led to the death
of Heather Heyer and
two state troopers, led
Democrats and many
Republicans to denounce
Trump for not unmistakably calling out white
supremacists and other
hate groups.
The president awoke

Wednesday still thinking about the rally, as
evidenced by his Twitter
account. “Last night in
Phoenix I read the things
from my statements on
Charlottesville that the
Fake News Media didn’t
cover fairly,” he wrote.
“People got it!”
By the time he arrived
at the American Legion
conference, Trump
seemed more congenial.
He even thanked Sen.
Dean Heller, a Nevada
Republican with whom he
has openly and repeatedly
feuded. He discussed his
early efforts to restructure and improve the Veterans Administration.
Later in the speech,
Trump said Americans
aren’t deﬁned by the
color of their skin, the
size of their paycheck or
their political party.
“Our hearts beat for
America. Our souls ﬁll
with pride every time
we hear the national
anthem,” Trump said.
“This is the spirit we
need to overcome our
challenges.”
When Medal of Honor
recipient Donald Ballard
joined the president on

stage and offered praise
for Trump, saying the
president would “drain
the swamp” of Washington, Trump smiled
and tipped his hand that
he was indeed being
restrained.
“That was very risky,”
Trump told the veteran.
“I didn’t know what was
going to happen.”
But Trump wasn’t
able to stick to his unity
theme Tuesday night.
His broadside against
the media, and the “fake
news” that he says is out
to get him, was one of
several detours he took
from remarks prepared
for the Phoenix rally.
Trump unabashedly
acknowledged that his
own advisers had urged
him to stay on message,
and that he simply could
not.
Trump’s diatribe
against the press wasn’t
in his prepared remarks,
according to two people
familiar with the plan but
not authorized to speak
publicly about the president’s decision.
The president had told
aides that he planned
to speak on “unity,” but

launched into a lengthy,
meandering and angry
denunciation of the press,
complete with a furious re-litigation of his
remarks about Charlottesville once he reached the
podium.

He also suggested he
intends to pardon former
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who
is awaiting sentencing in
Arizona after his conviction in federal court for
disobeying court orders
to stop his immigration

patrols. After whipping
up the crowd about
Arpaio, he said he wanted
to avoid “controversy” by
not speaking about the
pardon, but added: “I’ll
make a prediction: I think
he’s going to be just ﬁne.”

Meigs County’s domesticated animals were at the fair Friday morning during the Junior Fair Pet Show. Livestock animals are normally
the focus of any fair, making the small herd of dogs, cats, and other pets a fluffy change of scenery around the fairgrounds. Categories
included Best Rodent, Best Dog, Best Dressed, and Most Unusual. Winners received a basket of goodies for their pets. Winners were as
follows: Best Rodent: Pretty Girl (Rabbit); Best Dog: Lily (Husky); Best Cat: Prince (Maltese); Most Unusual: Coconut (Hermit Crab); Best
Dressed: Spark (Dachshund); Most Talented: Cash (Australian Shepherd).

Despite heavy rains that held up the racing for over 30
minutes and turned the track in a muddy mess, the motocross
racing went on in Thursday evening at the Meigs County Fair.
The muddy track helped with it’s share of spills and thrills

Meigs to honor
1967 football squad
on Friday night
By Dave Harris
For Ohio Valley Publishing

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Friday night before
the Meigs-Gallia Academy football game, the
Meigs High School will honor the 1967 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League football champions
on its 50th Anniversary. That Marauder team
was also the ﬁrst in the history of the school after
Middleport, Pomeroy and Rutland consolidated to
become Meigs.
The Marauders ﬁnished the season with a 9-1
record, 6-0 in the SEOAL. The team’s only loss
was an 8-0 setback to perennial power Ironton in
a non-conference game. Ironton would join the
SEOAL the next season.
For the season, the Marauders outscored their
opponents 218-50. The Marauders were so dominant on defense that only one team scored more
than eight points. That was longtime SEOAL kingpin Jackson who found themselves on the short
end of a 50-14 setback.
Meigs reached into the college ranks to hire
Charles Chancey from Marshall University to be
the head coach. Chancey was selected the SEOAL
Coach of the Year and the Southeastern Ohio District Coach of the Year.
He was assisted by backﬁeld coach John Bentley, defensive line coach and assistant freshman
coach Fenton Taylor, assistant freshman coach
Terry Ohlinger, offensive line coach Don Dixon,
assistant reserve coach Dick Well, reserve coach
Russell Moore and freshman coach Ed Bartles.
Individual awards went to dominating tackle
and punter Perry Kennedy, Kennedy was a unanimous selection for All SEOAL and picked up the
rare distinction of being named SEOAL Most
Valuable Player despite being a lineman. He also
was selected ﬁrst team All-Southeast District and
Honorable Mention All-State.
Quarterback Rod Gilkey, who moved from Gallipolis over the summer was a First Team All
SEOAL selection, second team All-District and
was honorable mention All-State. Tailback Lennie
VanMeter rushed for 1,017 yards and was selected

Lady Marauders win opener

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— You only get to open
the season once, so you
might as well make the
most of it.
The Lady Marauders
and Lady Tornadoes battled through ﬁve games
in a non-conference volleyball match on Tuesday
night in Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, with
host Meigs taking the
3-2 victory.
Southern (0-1) led
wire-to-wire in the opening game, taking the
25-13 victory. The Lady
Tornadoes led early
in the next game, but
Meigs (1-0) ended the
second with a 17-to-5
run, tying the match at
one game apiece with a
25-14 triumph.
The Lady Marauders
pulled into the 2-1 lead
with a second straight
25-14 win in the third
game. Meigs scored the
ﬁrst four points in the
fourth game, but SHS
fought back to take the
lead at 10-9 and the Lady
Tornadoes never trailed
again. Southern won the
fourth by a 25-20 ﬁnal,
forcing a ﬁfth and ﬁnal
game.
MHS also claimed the
ﬁrst four points of the
ﬁfth, but this time the
Lady Marauders didn’t
relinquish their lead,
rolling to the 15-6 win in
the deciding game.
“The girls persevered,”
ﬁrst-year MHS head

Southern junior Baylee Wolfe (center) spikes the ball in front of
teammates Jaiden Roberts (11) and Jane Roush (9), during the
Lady Tornadoes loss at Meigs, on Tuesday.

coach Lea Ann King said
afterwards. “We lost the
ﬁrst game, but they came
back and started talking
a little more. They realized that they needed to
talk and they needed to
stay low. They showed
me that they were ready
for the win.
“We still need to work
on coverage,” added
King. “Our passing was
better, we had some
good sets and some
awesome hits. We still
need to move some of
our other key players in
to do hitting, instead of
relying on one player.”
The Lady Marauder
service attack was led
sophomore Maci Hood
with 11 points and junior

Maddie Fields with 10.
MHS libero Deidra Cleland posted nine service
points, Marissa Noble
was next with eight, followed by Baylee Tracy
with seven and Kassidy
Betzing with six. McKenzie Ohlinger contributed four service points to
the winning cause, while
Hannah Durst chipped in
with one.
Southern’s service
attack was led by Jaiden
Roberts and Marissa
Brooker with 10 points
apiece, including three
and two aces respectively. Phoenix Cleland ﬁnished with eight points
and two aces, Jane Roush
added six points and
three aces, while Baylee

Grueser marked four
points. Paige VanMeter
rounded out the SHS service with two points.
“We’re just a really
young club, we made
some mistakes and we
beat ourselves,” secondyear SHS head coach
Kim Hupp said. “We
made some mistakes that
we shouldn’t have made,
we missed some serves
and missed some spikes.
We just beat ourselves,
but we’re young and we
have to learn from our
mistakes.”
At the net, Southern
was led by Baylee Wolfe
with seven kills and
three blocks. VanMeter
also posted seven kills,
while Sydney Cleland
and Jolisha Ervin marked
three kills apiece. Cleland and Roberts both
had two kills in the setback, while Kassie Barton added one kill and
one block. Roush led the
Lady Tornado defense
with 10 digs.
These teams are scheduled to meet again as
two parts of a tri-match
with Marietta, on September 9, at Meigs.
The Lady Marauders return to action on
Thursday at Eastern,
while Southern is back
on the court on Monday
at River Valley.
Additional statistical
information for Meigs
was unavailable by
presstime.

Raiders rally past Rebels in five-game thriller
By Paul Boggs

coming then. And the last
two games is what this
team can potentially be
all the time. It just took a
wake-up call of two ugly
games to get there.”
The Rebels, which last
season played in multiple
ﬁve-game matches and
beneﬁted from them,
couldn’t quite stage a
rally of their own.
“We had a lot of ﬁrstgame jitters,” said secondyear SGHS coach Sarah
Wright. “We just couldn’t
rally back in the games
we got down, especially
that fourth game. We
take this loss and make
adjustments and move
forward.”
The Raiders, taking
advantage of South Gallia’s attacking and serving
errors, never trailed in
the opening game and
rolled 25-13.
But River Valley began
making mistakes in sets
two and three, and the
Rebels responded with

kills and aces of their own.
They broke ties of
24-24 and 25-25 in game
two, forging the 1-1 tie on
a Raider service error and
a lift.
South Gallia trailed just
once in game three at 4-3
—sandwiched around ties
of 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4 —but
began pulling away to
as large as 21-14, before
River Valley crept as close
as 22-20 on a Gattinara
ace.
The Rebels closed the
third game with a Rachal
Colburn kill, but the Raiders roared out of the gates
in game four to win 25-9.
Gattinara got going as
did senior middle hitter
Carly Gilmore, as Gattinara notched two kills
and two block-kills in the
fourth — while Gilmore
made three of her seven
kills in the set.
“We need to learn to cut
around those girls when
we face blockers that
can block,” said Wright.

“We can’t try and power
through them when they
are good blockers.”
Smith admitted he can’t
pronounce Gattinara’s last
name correctly, but can’t
help but be impressed
with her play.
“Her serving…Oh my
Lord. I don’t know if
there is a better serve
on our team. I think she
is still adjusting to our
scheme, but when she
is behind that line, I can
count on three or four
points every time she
is back there,” said the
coach. “She has been a
great asset so far. When
she ﬁrst came here, all I
knew was that she was
from a suburb of Milan,
Italy. Who knew we were
getting a 5-11 well-trained
middle hitter that has
played since she was
eight years old.”
Gattinara’s ﬁnal ace
was a hard and sharp
spinning line drive that
the Rebels had little to no
chance to return.
That made the score
14-10 in the ﬁfth, as
South Gallia committed a
net violation to clinch the
win for River Valley.
The Rebels reverted
back to making mistakes
in the ﬁfth game as they
did in the ﬁrst —but with
less margin for error.
“Missed serves, out
hits, just a lack of communication,” said Wright.
“The two games we won,
we got a good lead to
start and we stayed on
top of talking to each
other. We were getting
back to hit, kept our
serves in. There weren’t
as many missed serves in
those two games.”

Belpre

Curtis Haner led the
third-place Rebels with
a 50, followed by Noah
Spurlock with a 63 and
Layne Davis with a 65.
Caleb Condee completed
the SGHS scoring with a

and Chloey Campbell also
posted identical tallies

of 69.
Collin Pargeon followed
Dutiel with a 65, while
Logan Dishon and Ethan

MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— Looks like River Valley
has let the “Catt” out of
the bag.
That’s because, bolstered largely by the play
of Catterina Gattinara,
the visiting Raiders rallied past the South Gallia
Rebels on Tuesday night
—prevailing 25-13, 25-27,
21-25, 25-9 and 15-11 in
a thrilling ﬁve-game nonleague volleyball tilt.
The ﬁve-foot, 11-inch
Gattinara, a foreignexchange student from
Italy, served up 10 aces in
leading the Lady Raiders
back from a 2-1 deﬁcit
— including three aces
apiece in the middle three
games.
She also added ﬁve
kills and four blocks — as
the senior-oriented Lady
Raiders seemed to feed
off of Gattinara, who is a
junior in the program.
For the Raiders, they
improved to 1-1 — following Monday night’s
season-opening straightsets loss against Eastern.
Tuesday’s match
marked the season opener
for South Gallia, which
won the second and third
games before allowing the
opening seven points of
the fourth — and giving
up eight of the ﬁnal 11
points in the ﬁfth.
First-year River Valley
volleyball coach Brent
Smith said the squad’s
“spirit and attitude coming back” in the fourth
and ﬁfth sets “was a good
thing to see.”
“River Valley, in general, has struggled with

that rally in them. That
dig deep when times are
a little rough. It was nice
to see that in arguably
three different sets,” he
said. “We really wanted it
tonight. We fought back
and showed a desire to
ﬁght back.”
Last season, the Raiders endured a dismal 2-20
campaign, so they already
have a win within the
opening week.
“I just pointed to the
seven seniors prior to
the fourth game and
said I couldn’t tell them
anything that they didn’t
know. You either lead and
we win, or you continue
what we’ve done the last
two matches and we lose.
They chose to lead, and
that spirit came back and
that hustle came back
and the passing accuracy
came back,” said Smith.
“We started to get good
serving, nothing really
into the net or out of
bounds. Our kills started

Cavs trade Irving to Celtics
for Isaiah Thomas, more

an 11-5 edge.
OVCS still led 19-15, but
the hosts reeled off ﬁve
straight points before losing
serve — which tied the game
at 20-all.
Tied again at 22, CLCS
won three of the ﬁnal four
points to wrap up the narrow
two-point win — and the 3-0
match sweep.
Katie Westfall paced OVCS
with eight service points,
followed by Emily Childers
with seven points and Laura
Young with three points.
Makala Sizemore was next
with two points, while Cori
Hutchison and Marcie Kessinger also had a service point
apiece in the setback.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie
Irving was tired of being teammates with LeBron James.
Now he has to ﬁgure out how
to beat him.
Cleveland’s All-Star guard,
who asked owner Dan Gilbert to
trade him earlier this summer,
was dealt Tuesday night to the
Boston Celtics for fellow AllStar Isaiah Thomas, forward Jae
Crowder, center Ante Zizic and
the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 ﬁrstround draft pick.
“It’s extremely rare to trade
for a 25-year-old player that’s
done what he’s done, the offensive weapon that he is,” Celtics
president Danny Ainge said. “We
feel like his best basketball is still
ahead of him.
“We have a player that’s proven

to be a sure thing. We know how
unpredictable the draft can be.
You do pay a heavy price for a
player of that age and that caliber.”
Irving, whose late 3-pointer
helped Cleveland win the 2016
NBA championship — and the
city’s ﬁrst title since 1964 — is
on his way to Boston, where he’ll
join a Celtics team that lost to
the Cavs in last season’s conference ﬁnals.
And as fate will have it, the
Cavs will host the Celtics in their
season opener on Oct. 17.
“Of course we know who our
competition is, and we know who
are biggest threats are each year,”
Ainge said. “But we feel like this
is a trade that can make us better,
and that’s why we did it.”
