Field of Hope receives certification
Hope House program to welcome residents
By Morgan McKinniss
mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest.com

Morgan McKinniss | OVP

In June. Field of Hope held a ribbon cutting for the Hope House. Next week,
the first residents will begin the process of addiction recovery.

VINTON — Field of Hope
will start receiving residents for
the Hope House program next
week.
Last Thursday was the ﬁnal
state inspection for Field of
Hope, granting them licensure
to operate as an addiction
recovery center. The facility,
consisting of Hope House and
ofﬁce complex is certiﬁed for

occupancy and service.
“Recovery is different than
rehabilitation. Recovery housing is what we have a severe
lack of around here,” said Kevin
Dennis, CEO of Field of Hope.
“We will get ladies that are
rehabilitating and we will help
get them back on their feet
by teaching life skills and job
skills.”
One of the main components
of Hope House and recovery is
teaching persons how to life a

productive and beneﬁcial life.
According to Dennis, many
addicts start their addiction
around the age of 13. Because
of this, many people that are
addicts haven’t learned necessary life skills.
“What happens, is you never
learn how to live. So when you
ﬁnally come to your senses
and you’re 25 years old, you’ve
never learned how to shop,

Starting the
year on a
positive note
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

ROCKSPRINGS — You look at your caller ID
and its is your child’s school. What is your ﬁrst
thought?
For some the thought may go to “what did my
child do to get in trouble” “is my child hurt or
sick” or is something else wrong.
For parents of Meigs High School students it
may not be the bad news call which so many parents dread receiving from the school.
As students returned to the classroom this
week, the school will be entering year two of what
Principal Travis Abbott refers to as “Good Kid
Calls.”
The idea behind the good kid calls is that for so
long, the only time parents would receive a call
from the school it was for something negative.
“We want the parents to know when their kids
have done something good or positive,” said
Abbott, the second year high school principal.
Before coming back to Meigs High School for
the 2016-17 school year, Abbott was the assistant
principal at Marietta where he was tasked with
dealing with discipline of students.
“I realized that not every call had to be like that.
That does not deﬁne how we see the child,” said
Abbott.

POMEROY — It is not
often a person has the
opportunity to be number one in the world, or
even their state or own
area, but that is the case
for one young girl from
Meigs County.
Easter Swain, a member of the 2016-17 Meigs
Middle School Archery
team, has been all of

those, placing as the top
scoring female in the
Appalachian Archery
Conference with an average score of 294.2 out of
a possible 300. She was
not only ﬁrst among middle school females, but
all female shooters which
includes elementary and
high school as well.
Swain, the daughter
of Jay and Robin Swain,
was presented with a
proclamation by the

Meigs County Commissioners on Thursday for
her accomplishments
throughout the season.
During the archery season, Swain competed in
25 tournaments, placing
ﬁrst in 18 of those events.
In postseason competition, Swain placed ﬁrst
among middle school
females at the Ohio NASP
Championship in Columbus of 315 opponents,
before placing 11th at

nationals with a score of
291 out of 300.
She has also placed
ﬁrst among middle school
females in the Ohio
NASP/IBO Challenge, as
well as placing second in
the NASP/IBO Outdoor
World 3D Challenge and
the 3-Star Challenge
which included shoots
in Kentucky, Florida and
Pennsylvania.

High School are asked to
see the random acts of
kindness or the good that
a student has done and
convey that message to
the student’s parents.
As part of the Good
Kid Calls, they are asked
to, at least once a week,
reach out to the parents
of a student that they
have seen do something
positive.
“We have so many good
kids. We tend to see the
bad ﬁrst and expect the
good so we don’t point
it out. It is important to
point out and reinforce
the good. There is far
more good than bad,”
said Abbott.
In the 2016-17 school
year, staff at Meigs High
School made more than
1,000 positive contacts or
good calls to parents of
students. These can come
in the form of actual
phone calls or sending letters home to the parents.
Kathy Sargent, a math
teacher at the school, said
that the good calls were
a positive experience
and uplifting for both the
teachers and parents.
And while the calls can
be related to academics, it
is the other positive interactions which Sargent
said speak to her, particularly when it comes
to students helping one
another.
Abbott said that it is
often easier for the parents to see the academic
success, but many do not
realize the other positives.
“So many are raising
outstanding youth and
we need to let them know
that. It helps the community grow in a positive

way,” said Abbott.
Meigs High School parent Kathie Hoffman said
that she had received a
letter about her son, with
the letter being very personalized for the speciﬁc
student.
Hoffman said that her
son was nervous to bring
the letter home as he did
not know what it was,
other than being a letter
from his teacher to his
parents.
“He thought something
was wrong,” said Hoffman.
While the calls are
nice, the letter becomes
a nice keepsake for the
parents and the student. The letters are
also something that the
students have the opportunity to read to know
exactly what it is that
they have done to make a
positive impact.
The students do not
have to get an “A” to do
a good job, it is the participating in class, being
nice to others, making
friendships and how you
treat others that matters, explained Abbott.
These are important life
skills that reach beyond
the classroom and being
acknowledged for such
things can be a conﬁdence booster for the
students and encourage
them to do even more
good things.
Spanish teacher
Richelle Hecker explained
that previously one of the
main interactions with
parents occurred at the
parent teacher conferences and that it was
mostly with students and
parents where there was a
negative situation.
“I love to have conferences to brag on a kid,”
said Hecker. The letters
and good calls are another way for those teacher-

parent interactions to
become more positive.
“When parents and the
school work together it
leads to success which
is what we want,” said
Abbott.
Cara Kight, both a
teacher at the school
and a parent of a high
schooler, said that each
week she would announce
to her class who had
received the call and the
class would applaud. It
motivated those who had
not yet received the call
to do better because they
wanted to get that call
too, Kight added.
Hoffman added that the
good kid call provided
a boost for her son, and
allowed him to know that
what he was doing mattered.
It also becomes a reﬂection tool for the teachers
to look and see what
student made a difference
and stood out during the
week.
Grant Adams, a 2017
graduate, said that as
soon as his dad told him
he had received a call
from the school it was
“like a shot through the
heart.” But to learn that
it was a good call was a
“gratifying experience”
which was inspiring and
motivating for the then
senior.
Lydia Edwards, now
a junior, agreed that
the good call serves as
something uplifting and
motivating, encouraging
students to keep up to the
standards of receiving the
call.
“You never know what
a kind word can do or
what’s happening in their
world. It can make a true
difference even if you
don’t see it,” said Abbott.

remedial English that focused on reading comprehension. Or, if you’re reading this and what
follows, and you understand what’s being said,
then your success in taking more instruction is
guaranteed. But there were some challenges that
came up which in some cases were never surmounted. Chief among them was trying to interest
the bulk of the students in something they didn’t
want to do in the ﬁrst place — read, let alone try
to help them comprehend what their eyes had just
scanned. I had hoped that with time my own inexperience at teaching would evaporate
and I’d be better at showing students
how to improve their reading and
writing skills, but life and ill health
got in the way, and pretty much put
the brakes on those plans.
But as has been said here previously, no experience is wasted and

learning about understanding what

we absorb each day from the news,
Contributing work, the classroom, everyday
columnist
experience and yes, casual reading,
helped me as much as I hope it did
the students. Getting at what a writer is saying,
and I’m talking about expression of ideas in more
than 140 characters on a tiny screen, opens up an
opportunity at learning and exposure to a means
of thinking beyond what’s found in normal conversation.
Okay, you might reject out of hand what the
writer is passing along, but taking the time to
read what’s said shows an interest in another
viewpoint, like comparing two different accounts
of an historical event, or even music reviews
with divergent opinions on the artist and musical
style. I mean no disrespect to Twitter as a source
of ideas and information, because if what’s being
said can be expressed succinctly and well, even
brilliantly within its conﬁnes, there’s a sign of an
effective communicator.
Understanding the volume of ideas, opinion and
pure bluster surrounding us today makes reading
and verbal comprehension that much more critical. It takes that kind of understanding to separate
fact from fancy, to recognize the made-up from
reality. As the political and cultural divide of our
society appears to get wider, there is a corresponding growth in ﬁnding common ground and discussion over what makes us different. It demands we
not only listen to each other, no matter how maddening and painful that can be, but also comprehend where we’re all coming from. I really don’t
know how you can go about that given the events
of recent weeks and the bile toward each other we
see and hear just about every day, but we must
learn to dial back the anger — it has been done
before — and one of the keys is through the basics
of comprehension we are taught when young.
I contend that teachers have their hands full
with all of what’s now required of them in educating children, but fortunately, comprehension is
one of the tools they routinely pass on to their
students. When a child learns to read, part of the
joy such a move creates is in understanding what
they’re reading, as a story comes to life in their
minds because each word is a building block in
bringing the tale to life for the reader. If the word
is unfamiliar, the context in which it’s used helps
clarify the meaning, barring a check with the dictionary deﬁnition. It’s a learning experience that
never ends for devoted readers. Yet I can recall
the embarrassment inﬂicted on my parents when
I’d ask what a certain word meant, only to be told
never to use that word ever, and if I did and they
heard me, expect the furies to be brought down
on my head. So I never used it — when they were
around.
In my own routine of late as I try to write more,
I ﬁnd myself consulting the well-worn, cover-less
paperback Webster’s I bought for journalism classes back in the day to ensure I’m using the right
word to make my point — and, as brain cells disappear, reacquaint myself with the correct spelling
of that correct word. Further proof that in the end,
it’s all about understanding.
***
One thing I think we all comprehend and appreciate is laughter, which is why the loss of two
famous comedians of widely different kinds of
humor offer an interesting reﬂection for our popular culture.
Jerry Lewis, who was 91 when he passed away
Aug. 20, created an audience that either adored or
hated him for his manic style of slapstick and banter, the haters ﬁnding him childish and unsubtle,
his real persona this side of repulsive. But to his
fans, he was a cinematic comic genius on the level
of Charlie Chaplin who, when his movie career
pretty much ﬁzzled by 1970, turned to the stage,
night clubs and personal appearances. Lewis used
the weight and force of his personality to make
an institution of his annual Labor Day telethon in
support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association,
for which he served as its national chairman. For
that achievement alone, his place in the hearts of
many is assured.
On a different level was Dick Gregory, who was

THEIR VIEW

Staying safe around ticks
Summer may be closing, but there is still
plenty of time to enjoy
the great outdoors.
As you head out, it is
important to remember
to protect yourself and
your family. Ticks are
blood-feeding parasites
that can signiﬁcantly
impact the quality of life
and health of humans
and pets. Most importantly, some species of
ticks may infect the host
with any of several different diseases, which can
result in mild to serious
illness or death. Proper
protection from ticks
and prompt removal are
crucial to preventing
infection.

Whether his message

became one of the era’s

an activist, writer and

Gallia, 46-14

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — The Sciotoville Community East Tartans held nothing back from the
South Gallia Rebels, including holding the home
team scoreless through the ﬁrst three quarters,
resulting in a 46-14 victory during a non-conference Week 1 matchup on Friday night at Rebel
Field.
The opening kick-off went to the visiting Tartans (1-0) and East wasted little time in getting on
the scoreboard.
Brady Douthat connected a 31-yard touchdown
pass to J.D. Hatcher, giving East a 6-0 lead with
10:54 left in the ﬁrst quarter.
After a three-and-out by South Gallia (0-1),
Douthat ran for a three-yard touchdown for a 12-0
edge with 6:07 remaining in the opening quarter.
With 3:45 remaining, Douthat passed to Kyle Flannery for a 53-yard touchdown — giving East an
18-0 lead by the end of the ﬁrst quarter.
As Sciotoville started on their own 40-yard line
at the opening of the second quarter, Douthat
completed his third of four touchdown passes and
a second to Hatcher for a 36-yard touchdown pass.
With the successful PAT by Jordan Huffman, the
Tartans extended their lead to 32-0 with 7:07 on
the game clock.
The Rebels were pinned deep on their own fouryard line, Kyle Northup coughed up the ball in the
end zone, and Braiden Haney of Sciotoville recovered the football for a Tartan touchdown. Sciotoville Community took a lead of 38-0 into the half.
With the OHSAA rule of the running clock
for being ahead by more than 30 points and yet
another three-and-out by the Rebels at the start
of the third quarter, Douthat completed his ﬁnal
touchdown pass of the night to Devon Stevens.
In addition, the Douthat-Stevens connected
again for a successful two-point conversion, lifting
the visiting Tartans lead to 46-0 at the end of the
third quarter.

Marauders rally past GAHS, 14-8
By Dave Harris
For Ohio Valley Publishing

ROCKSPRINGS,
Ohio — Third string
quarterback Cory Cox
hit Weston Baer with an
eight-yard pass with 22
seconds left to give the
Meigs Marauders a heart
stopping 14-8 win over
the Gallia Academy Blue
Devils Friday night at
Farmers Bank Stadium in
Meigs County.
Cox was pressed into
duty under center after
Meigs lost two of its top
playmakers due to potential severe injuries in the
ﬁrst half. Quarterback
Zach Helton and end/
quarterback Christian
Mattox both went down
with what looked to be
serious injuries.
But it was 5-foot-8
sophomore Cory Cox
who stepped in to lead
the Marauders on a
77-yard, 11-play drive,
running the two-minute
offense to near perfection
for the winning score as
the Marauders took over
with 3:06 left.
It was a hard-hitting,
well-played game between
the two schools that left
everyone in the stands as
drained as the two teams.
Meigs received the
opening kickoff and Gallia Academy’s defense
stopped them on a three
and out. Marauder Coach
Mike Bartrum tried a fake
punt on fourth down that
the Blue Devils stopped
short of the ﬁrst down.
Gallia Academy started
on the Marauder 34, and

with Boo Pullins and
Jacob Campbell doing the
damage, the Blue Devils
drove to the Marauder
three. On third and goal,
Campbell coughed up
the football and Landon
Acree recovered for
Meigs in the end zone to
end the threat.
Gallia Academy was on
the drive in the second
period, but on fourth and
eight Justin McClelland’s
pass to Tanner Allen was
stopped short of the ﬁrst
down.
Later in the period,
the Marauders drove to
the Blue Devil 26 — but
Cox had his pass tipped

and picked off by Tanner
Allen to end the threat.
The Blue Devils took
advantage of a 90-yard,
20-play drive to score the
game’s ﬁrst touchdown.
On fourth and two from
the Marauder 12, McClelland hit Cory Call from
12 yards out for the score
on the ﬁnal play of the
half. On the extra point
attempt, McClelland once
again hit Call and the
Blue Devils went into the
locker room on top 8-0.
Meigs came out in third
period and scored on
their second possession
after driving from its own
38 in an eight-play drive

to pull to within two.
On second down, Cox
hit Baer for 34 yards to
the Blue Devil 33. Seven
plays later, it was Cox
once again ﬁnding Baer
in the corner of the end
zone from 22 yards out.
The extra point was
stopped just short, but
the Marauders had pulled
to within 8-6 with 3:30
left in the third period.
The Blue Devils
appeared to score midway
through the fourth period, but a holding penalty
brought the play back.
Gallia Academy then took
advantage of a 17-yard
run by McClelland and a
36-yard run by Campbell
to the Marauder 24, but
the Marauder defense
stiffened and held on
downs.
A 33-yard punt by Boo
Pullins gave the Marauders the ball at their own
13 with 3:06 left.
On third and ﬁve, Cox
hit Cole Adams over the
middle for 26 yards to the
Meigs 44. Three plays
later, Cox hit Adams on
an identical for 25 yards
to the Gallia Academy 44.
On third and 12, Cox
hit Baer for 25 yards to
the Blue Devil 8. Meigs
— without time outs —
had Cox ground the ball
to stop the clock with
22.7 seconds left.
Cox then hit Baer on
a fade pattern in the end
zone for the score. Cox
and Baer once again
hooked up for the twopoint conversion and the

Total eclipse an astronomical treat
In case you didn’t
notice, there was a solar
eclipse the other day —
Monday, August 21 to be
exact.
Because I am a bit of
a nerd, I had anticipated
the day and planned a
long-awaited vacation
around it. I really wanted
to see this total eclipse.
There are two different
types of solar eclipses:
annular and total. An
annular eclipse is not
total in the sense that you
can still see a ring of sun
around the moon. The
word “annular” is latin for
ringlike.
A total eclipse occurs
when the moon is closer
to the earth and hides
all of the sun from our
view except for the solar
corona.
Total eclipses are pretty
uncommon; the last time
the path of a total eclipse
touched the lower 48
states was an east coast
eclipse on March 7, 1970.
The last one to pass
across the country from
west to east was June 8,
1918, while the U.S. was
still engaged in World
War I.

Redskins clip Lady Knights, 1-0
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.
Va. — Give credit to the Lady
Knights — especially sophomore goalkeeper Monica Cook
— for riding out Hurricane’s
offensive storm.
Unfortunately for the Point
Pleasant High School girls soccer squad, on a clear and cool
Thursday night, the Lady Redskins did enough damage with
just one shot.
That’s because Hurricane’s
Ann Marie Ramsey recorded
the game’s only goal — as the
Redskins escaped with a 1-0
win at Ohio Valley Bank Track
&amp; Field in Point Pleasant.
The loss left the Lady
Knights at 0-2-0, as they
opened the season a week ago
with a 3-1 setback at South
Harrison.
Hurricane, thanks to
Ramsey’s marker with 21 minutes and 17 seconds remaining
in the match, raised its undefeated record to 3-0-0.
In truth, the Redskins dominated possession, playing the
large majority of the contest in
Point Pleasant’s offensive half

caught with the ball at our feet
about 30 yards from the goal.
We can’t get caught in that
situation and we can’t turn the
ball over that close to our goal
without giving up good opportunities for them,” said the
coach. “Just something we have
to clean up and work on.”
The Lady Knights need to

attack, as they had just one

point after, giving RVHS
a 20-0 lead with 3:18 left
in the third.
Eastern got its ﬁrst ﬁrst
down of the second half
in the ﬁrst minute of the
fourth quarter, but the
ball was fumbled away on
the very next play. RVHS
lost a fumble of its own
four plays into the next
drive, but the Raider
defense forced Eastern
to punt for the sixth and
ﬁnal time game.
River Valley’s ﬁnal
drive covered 79 yards
in eight plays, the eighth
of which was a four-yard
scoring run by Gabe Stapleton. Gilmore added
the extra-point to give
the guests a 27-0 lead
with 4:54 left in regulation. Eastern ran the
remainder of the time off
of the clock, covering 52
yards in 10 plays.
“Anytime you’re 1-0
it’s a heck of a lot better
than being 0-1,” RVHS
head coach Jerrod Sparling said. “That goal is
accomplished, now we
have a few things to
iron-out. We were lucky
enough to get the shut
out, that’s a tribute to the

staff, the players and the
scheme, and my hat’s off
to all of them.
“Anytime you win the
turnover battle you just
put yourself in a better
position to win, it’s a big
point of emphasis for
us,” Sparling added. “On
the ﬂip side, we put the
ball on the ground way
too much, we can’t do
that next week.”
As a team, the Raiders
outgained Eastern by a
292-to-218 clip, including
101-to-14 through the air.
RVHS won the turnover
battle by one and punted
ﬁve times, one less than
EHS. The Eagles committed six penalties for
51 yards, while River
Valley was ﬂagged seven
times for 95 yards. The
Silver and Black also
held a 17-to-11 advantage
in ﬁrst downs.
“W wanted to come
in and play all out with
great effort, and the
effort was there” EHS
head coach Pat Newland
said. “There’s a hump
that we’re at. We keep
climbing, we keep clawing and we’re doing
everything we can to get
over that hump. It was

Eastern begins Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division play next week,
visiting Miller, which
suffered a 10-point setback to defending league
champion Waterford on
Friday.
“This year, Miller is
starting something like
nine seniors on offense
and eight on defense,”
Coach Newland said.
“We opened up with two
pretty tough football
teams. We have to keep
climbing, keep clawing
and doing what we can
do to get over the hump.
If we cut out some turnovers we can be in the
ball game.”
River Valley’s next
game will be Saturday,
as the Raiders host the
OVB Community Bowl
and rival Gallia Academy,
which suffered a sixpoint setback at Meigs
on Friday.
“For us, it’s a special
week,” Coach Sparling
said. “For our kids, our
program, our community
and really for most of the
county, it’s a celebration
of our kids and that in
itself makes it special. To
say it’s the same as any
other week would probably be an outright lie.
It’s going to exciting, it’s
going to be electric and
our kids are going to be
ready to go.”
The Raiders have now
topped Eastern in four
consecutive meetings.

Blue Angels win tri-match at Circleville
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio —
Under a gorgeous blue sky for
golf, the Blue Angels’ impressive play prevailed once again.
That’s because Gallia Academy, in a triangular girls
golf match on Thursday at
Pickaway Country Club in Circleville, captured the victory
against both host Circleville
and Liberty Union.
The Blue Angels ﬁred a

Redskins
From page 4B

Speaking of “discipline and
energy”, Errett praised the
Redskins while also express-

team total of 224, which was
eight strokes better than the
Circleville score of 232.
Gallia Academy ﬁelded six
players while the Tigers played
ﬁve, with Liberty Union —
which totaled a 255 —only
playing four.
The top four scores counted
towards the team total.
As the three clubs took aim
at the Pickaway Country Club
par-36 back nine, junior Molly
Fitzwater paced the Blue
Angels with a 53.

The other three counting
scores were all 57s — by Bailey Meadows, Bella Bonzo and
Macy Jones.
The non-counting cards
were a 60 by Avery Minton
and a 68 by Lilly Rees.
The Blue Angels are only in
their second season as a full
golf team, while Circleville
qualiﬁed for the district tournament as an entire squad.
“I am pleased. We beat a
district qualifying team from
last year on their home course.

Very pleased with our balance,” said GAHS golf coach
Mark Allen. “Nice win for us
tonight.”
For the Tigers, Abbi Sutton
shot a 51 for match medalist
honors, as Maddison Hess had
a 58, Lauren Crabtree a 59,
and Morgan Ealy and Helena
Haslett with a pair of 64s.
Liberty Union’s best two
scores were a 56 and a 59.

ing enthusiasm about his
young Lady Knights going
toe-to-toe with the Red and
White.
“Hurricane is always a
good team. They’re always
high-energy and disciplined.
Energy-wise, I thought it was

good to see our girls come out
and match that, but they are
always tough to break down.
I thought we played well and
handled the pressure well. We
didn’t give up a lot of good
chances for them, but they
still capitalized on one oppor-

tunity they got from us,” he
said.
The Lady Knights will
return home on Saturday,
when they play Poca at 11 a.m.

Clemson’s
Swinney
gets raise
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) —
Clemson’s Dabo Swinney is getting a hefty raise after winning
the national championship.
The Board of Trustees
agreed to a new 8-year, $54
million contract Friday that
averages out to $6.75 million
a year. It includes $3.2 million
in signing bonuses in three
installments and a $6 million
buyout until the end of 2018.
The deal makes Swinney
the third highest-paid football
coach in the country, behind
only Alabama’s Nick Saban
and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh.
“What’s he’s done with our
program has been incredible. He
means so much to our athletic
department, to our university, to
our community,” said athletics
director Dan Radakovich.
