For the second time in school history the
Southern football team qualified for the
OHSAA playoffs, with the game scheduled
for Saturday, Nov. 5. On Friday, all students
in the district took part in a pep rally
to prepare the team and students for
Saturday’s game. The youngest fans, on up
through high school, took part in games
and cheers, with the elementary students
taking home a spirit stick, over the high
school students, for their victory chant. The
junior class took the spirit stick in the grade
7-12 contest. While the rally started with the
playing of the fight song by the Southern
Marching Band, it concluded with students
arm-in-arm singing the Alma Mater as the
band played. With the Saturday evening
game at Trimble scheduled to conclude
after deadline for the Sunday edition, game
coverage will appear in the Tuesday edition

or six years, things have

downtown.”
Wiseman said that the
DRP was looking to add
a splash pad similar to
what has been done in
Easton Town Center in
Columbus.
“We want it to be professionally done and we
think it will add to the
dynamic in the park and
not hurt anything else
that’s already in the park,”
said Wiseman. “(City
Park) is a fantastic asset
we have in Gallipolis.”
The structure would be
either concrete, stone or
brick potentially across
from the Central Supply Hardware store near
the park. Wiseman said
the DRP would raise the
money 100 percent for
the project as well as raising funds for any continuing maintenance on the
structure as well as the
water bill. There would
be no chemicals used in
the structure and it would
solely run on city water
and sewer.
Splash pads are also
called spray pools often
in public parks that shoot
water from the ground
using nozzles. They allow
for little to no standing
water and can eliminate
the need for lifeguards of
supervisory roles. Oftentimes the pads can be
paired with lighting displays. Pads typically only
operate in summer hours.
The device, according
to Wiseman, would have
daily operating hours
when in use and be connected to a timed button
so that it would not run
continually throughout
a day.

us is that most of us that

of that, being roughly
$1.55 million, would be
available for police to use.

Dear Gallia County Residents,
I would like to take this opportunity to address the voters of Gallia County. I
started my career at the Gallia County Sheriff ’s Office as a corrections officer in our
county jail back in 1987.
A lot has changed in our society since my first
day on the job. But one thing that has not, is my
commitment to serving our community. From
serving as a deputy sheriff to the honor of being
elected your sheriff in 2008, and again in 2012, I take
very seriously the job of protecting our community.
I am proud to have worked for you my entire career
here at the Gallia County Sheriff ’s Office. I have truly
attempted to make our county a safer and better
place. I would like to outline here, some of the more
recent steps I have taken and partnered with others
on, in protecting our community.
Soon after taking office in late 2009, I was fortunate
to have been approved for a federal grant to hire two
full time drug officers. These officers began work and
soon started making major progress toward arresting
drug dealers in our community.
A second grant was soon secured, and we assisted the city of Gallipolis in using
this grant. These were federally funded grants that paid for extra personnel costs.
In late 2011, the grants expired and were not renewed by congress. The officers that
worked these grants did a tremendous job. If you do a simple google search, you
can see all of the Gallia County drug arrests.
More recently, we received the opportunity to partner with agencies in
Meigs County to form the Gallia–Meigs Major Crimes Task Force, under the
Ohio Organized Crime Commission. This program, approved by the county
commissioners for personnel funding, operates under the guidance of the Ohio
Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General covers all equipment and
operational cost outside of personnel. Our partner agencies in Meigs County also
contribute personnel to the task force. Since its inception, this task force has been
very valuable to combatting a drug epidemic, that many would choose to ignore.
One of the catalyst in forming this task force, was a successful raid on a drug
operation along the Gallia-Meigs line, which our team seized over $750,000 in cash
and uncovered an out of country drug connection. Since that time, our task force
has documented the following: 140 Criminal Indictments in Gallia; 179 Drug Buys
in Gallia, generating over 200 criminal cases; and 22 residential search warrants in
the last 13 months. This includes 5, that were conducted simultaneously, involving
over 50 officers from 5 separate agencies assisting in Gallia County. Our task force
has seized over $200,000 in criminal proceeds.
The fact that there are more sentenced offenders in state prison from Gallia
County than ever before, demonstrates the hard work of our law enforcement
community, including the Sheriff ’s Office. I am proud to be able to say that I have
worked with our county commissioners and other law enforcement agencies,
from regional training on responding to citizens in crisis, to hosting multi-agency
drug intelligence meetings. We have truly demonstrated that team work is what it
takes to insure a safe community. I feel very strongly that had it not been for the
continuing dedication and hard work of our deputies and task force officers, the
drug situation here would be much worse.
I hope you will agree that this, along with our three active K-9 teams, an excellent
school resource deputy program (1 in each high school), and partnerships we have
formed to help rehabilitate those suffering
from addiction, have all played a huge role
in helping to protecting Gallia County.
I am very honored to be your Sheriff. I ask
for your vote and support on November 8,
2016.

THEIR VIEW
Place faith in
farmers, not
federal regulators
Washington just can’t stop meddling in agriculture. Its bureaucrats saddle farmers with crushing
regulations, while Congress provides wasteful and
harmful handouts. All the tampering completely
disrespects farmers.
Regulations threaten farmers’ ability to engage
in even the most basic agricultural
practices. The Environmental ProDaren
tection Agency and the U.S. Army
Bakst
Corps of Engineers, for example,
Contributing have issued a water rule that seeks
columnist
to regulate almost any body of water
— from man-made ditches to land
depressions that may hold water a
few days a year.
This rule isn’t currently being enforced due to
pending litigation. But if the regulators win, farmers will have to spend a lot of time and cash to get
many more permits just to work their land. Worse,
the rule is so vague and subjective that many farmers will simply give up on working productive
fields rather than run the risk of having the EPA
lower the boom on their operations.
And then there’s the Endangered Species Act.
All too often, it puts the burden of protecting
species on landowners instead of spreading the
costs to all taxpayers. Farmers and ranchers, who
are particularly affected by this law, are often
restricted in how they can use their land, yet they
receive no compensation for the trampling of their
property rights.
No good comes of poorly considered regulations
— especially when they make it so hard for farmers and ranchers to produce our food.
Subsidies are just the flip-side of federal meddling. Washington’s elite treat farmers as inferior
to other business owners. To them, it isn’t enough
to provide farmers a strong safety net to protect
against major crop losses. They also feel they must
insulate farmers from low market prices and make
sure they get the revenues that they expect.
The Agriculture Department’s recent cheese
bailouts exemplify this mentality. Due to allegedly
low milk prices, the USDA has twice spent $20
million buying up surplus cheese to help raise the
price of milk.
But low prices serve a purpose. They signal to
producers that they need to reduce production,
and if necessary, diversify, innovate, become more
efficient, or otherwise adjust their operations.
Excessive handouts insulate farmers from
the need to respond to market conditions. This
doesn’t merely hurt consumers and taxpayers; it
also hurts farmers. It makes it impossible for farmers to receive the full benefit of being better managed than their competitors.
Moreover, these massive subsidies — and
farmers’ growing dependence on them — expose
farmers to the threat of even greater meddling in
their business. For example, nutrition-oriented

YOUR VIEW
Reader talks police levy
In talking to several people who have read the
articles in the Tribune, I realized there is confusion about the outcome of the police levy, if it is
passed. So I emailed the City Auditor, Annette
Landers, for an explanation. She graciously and
expeditiously replied with a detailed 11 paragraph
email.
Two of the key components of her email are: 1.
The 1 percent increase will generate about $1.5
million to be placed in a separate fund for the use
of the police department only. 2. Currently, the
police department is spending about $1.2 million,
which is funded by the city out of its general fund.
What this means is that the police department
will have an additional $300,000 to spend. They
surely need it. Since the city will no longer have
to fund the police, they will have an additional
$1.2 million available for other programs. So it is
kind of a misnomer to call it a police levy since the
police department is only getting about $300,000
and the city general fund is getting the rest. On
the ballot it will say “public safety.” I understand
that it is the section of the law they had to use to
enact it.
Now, don’t get me wrong. The city needs money
and lots of it. The general fund has been reduced
by about $1 million due to state cutbacks of about
$750,000 , elimination of estate tax revenues and
other factors such as the recession. The city has
made drastic cutbacks to remain within the budget
and the city manager and the city auditory have
taken 20 percent pay cuts. (Ouch!) Many cities
across Ohio have been raising their income tax
this year. This $1.2 million will just get the city
back to where they were about five years ago.
None of us want to pay more income tax and I
normally would frown upon a tax increase. This
year, I may have to make an exception.

Ohio must address ‘talent gap’
Earning a college
degree continues to provide a sound, high-value
investment. A typical college graduate earns nearly
$1 million more than a
high school graduate over
his or her lifetime. College graduates are less
likely to be unemployed,
and more likely to vote
and volunteer in their
communities. They also
live an average of seven
years longer than those
with a high school diploma or less.
Despite these attractive
benefits, too few Ohioans
are earning the college
degrees or other postsecondary education credentials that employers
require for the majority of
jobs of today and tomorrow.

and student success are at the core of
Ohio University’s educational mission.
The Allen Center, part of OHIO’s University College, houses the Allen Student Advising Center and Undergraduate Orientation Programs. The Center’s
sole mission is to promote undergraduate student success and retention.
90 percent of OHIO’s first-year students are part of on-campus learning
communities that focus on connecting
and supporting students during their
transition from home and high school
to Ohio University.
These initiatives are already yielding results. For example, the number
of associate, bachelor’s and master’s
degrees awarded by Ohio’s public
universities and community colleges
increased by 20.1 percent between
2010 and 2015. Degree attainment
is increasing even as state funding
in Ohio has lagged other states, and
need-based financial aid has yet to
return to pre-recession levels. While
state funding has increased 7.1
percent since 2014, Ohio’s funding
per student is 27 percent below the
national average.
To build our future, Ohio also must
address an “innovation gap.” Ohio’s
public universities are ramping up
research and development, technology
transfer and commercialization activities to fill the funding shortfall caused
by reduced federal and private investment in basic and applied research,
new product development and business creation. The state of Ohio
needs to enhance efforts to ensure we
remain a center for private and federal
investment.
At a time when Ohio’s public universities play such an important role,
the effects of the Great Recession have
significantly impacted support for our
universities. Continued progress on
raising education attainment levels,
creating economic opportunity and
driving economic development will
require a continued partnership with
state officials to enhance investment
in and support for higher education.
The payoff will be a brighter, more
prosperous future for Ohio.

Be careful
around dead
ash trees
You may recall last winter that I wrote the war
against the Emerald Ash Borer is over, and that
the bugs won. Nearly every ash tree I saw this year
was dead or dying; those trees that weren’t dead
had only a smattering of leaves left, and chances
are those are dead now too.
To add insult to injury, the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources’ Division of Forestry is reminding people to exercise caution around dead ash
trees. The victims of the Borer War
are now beginning to succumb to
gravity.
A drive through the country
reveals dead ash trees over county
and township roads, and dangerously
close to houses and building. The
ash trees that I have been cutting

Freeman
themselves. The best thing to do, if
you can do it safely, is to cut down
the trees in a controlled manner before they fall
down on their own.
Outdoor enthusiasts need to be especially careful around these trees. They are dangerous; a tree
or branch falling on a person can cause serious
injury or even death. For the hunter this means
being careful to not place tree stands in ash trees,
or to not hunt beneath one. The vibration and
shaking from putting a stand in a tree could shake
loose dead branches above, causing them to fall on
the hunter. Now that the leaves are off the trees, a
dead ash tree looks much like any other tree in the
forest.
The emerald ash borer was discovered in Michigan in 2002, and then found in Ohio in 2003. The
borers, native to Asia, feed beneath the bark of the
ash trees and make it impossible for the tree to
move water and nutrients – an examination of the
wood under the bark of a dead ash tree will reveal
a series of tunnels made by the insects as they
feed.
The ODNR Division of Forestry offers the following advice:
Identify dead and dying ash trees around their
homes and in their community that have the
potential to harm people or property.
Contact a certified arborist at treesaregood.
org to identify ways to manage the risk associated
with dead and dying ash trees in the yard.
Exercise caution when entering a wooded area
and be aware of any standing dead trees nearby,
especially in windy conditions.
This caution is important in urban environments

Defenders sweep Calvary in state semi
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio
— The trip to the state
semifinal on Friday was
longer than the match
itself.
That’s because the Ohio
Valley Christian School
Defenders, in needing
only an hour of actual
time, swept aside Calvary
Christian 25-19, 25-11
and 25-11 in Friday’s first
semifinal of the Ohio
Christian School Athletic
Association state volleyball tournament — held
inside the Maxwell Center on the campus of Ohio
Christian University in
Circleville.
With the victory, the
Defenders raised their
stellar record to an impressive 23-1 — and advanced
to Saturday’s state championship match against
Mars Hill Academy.
Mars Hill, in the second
semifinal on Friday night,
swept Faith Christian
Academy in straight
games — 25-21, 25-18
and 25-16.
The championship tilt
was set for Saturday at
4 p.m. at Ohio Christian
University.
But perhaps, if the
Defenders play against
Mars Hill the way they
did against the Spartans,
then Ohio Valley Christian School will bring
back another trophy to
the Ohio Valley.
The Defenders never
trailed in the final two
games, winning both by
25-11 margins — and
looking every bit the role
of dominant throughout.
In the opening game,
however, OVCS had to
rally from a 16-12 deficit,
flipping the switch to
winning 13 of the game’s
final 16 points to triumph
25-19.
That’s correct.
The Spartans scored
just 25 points combined
after leading 16-12 in
the first set, while OVCS
notched the necessary 25
points three times.
“At any given time
on any given night, my
girls can play very well,”
said OVCS head coach
Heather Priddy. “They
take the skills that they
learn and the skills that
they know and if they
show up, they are going
to play very well. So no
this doesn’t surprise me.
We just never know how
the other team is going to
play or going to react.”

Katie Bradley (18) of Ohio Valley Christian School goes up for a kill over Calvary Christian School’s Faith Wenger (15) and Sydnee Durnell
(16) during Friday’s OCSAA state semifinal volleyball match at Ohio Christian University.
The shell-shocked
Spartans didn’t react
well, committing several
errors at the same time
the Defenders began to
throw down kills and collect aces.
After a pair of lead
changes and three early
ties in the opening game,
Calvary Christian led
16-12 following an OVCS
attack error.
But a Cori Hutchinson
kill, a Hutchison ace and
back-to-back Spartan
attack errors tied the set
at 16-16 —before another
tie at 17-17, as OVCS
regained the lead for
good.
Marcie Kessinger
landed an ace for a 21-18
OVCS advantage, as the
Spartans scored their
final point of the game on
a service error.
A double hit by the
Spartans, a Katie Westfall
kill, a Rachel Sargent ace
and a Katie Bradley kill
closed out the first game
in OVCS’ favor.
Priddy was asked what
the momentum-shifter
was — after OVCS fell
behind and uncharacteristically committed errors
early on.
“The turning point for
me and for the girls was
we have a goal. They set a
goal (to win state championship). I spoke to them
about it,” said the coach.
“I told them we have a
goal and do you want to
meet this goal or not? At
that point, their attitudes
changed and they kicked
into gear and they started
playing to the best of
their ability.”
The Defenders —
the OCSAA Southeast
Region champions —
definitely did that.
They broke a 1-1 tie in
the second set by reeling
off five points in a row,
then later scored seven
consecutive to stake a
15-4 advantage.
A Hutchison kill and
a Spartan attack error
made it 19-6, as the
Defenders’ leads swelled
to 23-9 and 24-10 —
before a Calvary hitting
error ended game two.
In game three, the
Defenders scored the
opening five points —
then posted runs of four,
three, three and finally
four more points in a row
to make it 21-8.
A Spartan service error
ended the third game —
and the overall match in
only an hour.
For Calvary Christian,
winners of the Northwest
Region, its season ends
at 12-8.
Meanwhile, the Defenders’ focus was now on
Saturday’s state title bout
— against Mars Hill from
the Southwest Region.
Priddy’s preference of
opponent, however, mattered none — as long as
the Defenders did their
normal thing.
“My whole philosophy
is we play our game. I
don’t care who we play
and I don’t care what
they can do. We play our
game,” she said. “And
if we play our game the
way we have been taught
how to play it, we can do
whatever we want.”

Dear Fellow Gallia County Residents:
The Election is in two days. I wanted to take this last
opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me
these last six months. I really enjoyed meeting with
people and talking about all the big issues facing the
county especially the heroin problem.
For the last 30 years I’ve devoted my life to helping
the county through youth programs, like mock trail,
the fair, vital links, and Car-Teens, through veterans
programs, through senior programs and through
the Ariel Theatre and the French Art Colony. I also
supported the 2nd Amendment through the Gallia
County Friends of the NRA and health care through
the Gallia County Shrine Club.
I’ve devoted almost 20 of those years to the court
systems bringing financial stability and innovative
ways of dealing with Gallia County problems.
On behalf of my family and myself I want to thank
everyone for giving me the opportunity to serve this
county for almost 30 years. I look forward to serving
again.
I would love to have your support and vote on Nov
8 but no matter how you decide , remember that my
Pop and other veterans like myself fought for your
right to vote Nov 8th
Thanks

much as a reception.
“It was, ‘All right, I know I’m going to be fighting with 83, so let me go ahead and get an extra
lift and get my neck right,’” Suggs said.
Suggs is one of the few remaining stars in a
rivalry that almost always has playoff ramifications
and occasionally extends into the postseason. On
Sunday, first place in the AFC North will be at
stake when Pittsburgh comes to town.
The difference is that Baltimore (3-4) went 5-11
last year and has lost four straight . The Steelers
(4-3) have dropped two in a row and are unsure
if quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be able
to play after undergoing knee surgery in midOctober.
If Roethlisberger can’t go, Pittsburgh will turn
to Landry Jones, who’s never faced Baltimore and
has three career starts.
“The characters have changed in this show,”
Suggs said. “But the mentality and the mood is
still the same.”
It’s still Steelers-Ravens, regardless of the cast
and the mediocre record of each team.
“I told the guys walking off the field, ‘This game
has the potential to define you. You will never forget it,’” Suggs said.
Of the last 16 games between these teams, no
fewer than a dozen have been decided by three
points or fewer.
“We have been in a lot of close football games
with these guys. We respect them,” Steelers coach
Mike Tomlin said.
The word “hate” used to thrown around a lot
before the Steelers faced the Ravens. Not so much
anymore.
“It is at their place; it is a division game,” Tomlin said. “Those are the things that kind of encompass our focus.”

Volunteers, including those from Farmers Bank and Ohio Valley Bank, took part in the Blitz Build for the Habitat for Humanity House being constructed on Brownell Avenue in Middleport.
Dozens of volunteers take part in Blitz Build
First Habitat for Humanity project
underway in Meigs County
By Sarah Hawley

MIDDLEPORT — Meigs County’s
first Habitat for Humanity project is
well on its way to completion after this
weekend’s Blitz Build.
Dozens of volunteers, including many
employees of Farmers Bank and Ohio
Valley Bank, were at the build site on
Brownell Avenue on Friday putting up
walls, installing windows and many
other projects on the house.
The two-day Blitz Build was sponsored by Farmers Bank (Friday) and
Ohio Valley Bank (Saturday). Additionally, Mark Porter GM sponsored the
wall build which was conducted last
weekend by the Meigs football team.
Being a good corporate citizen is
much more than just having the doors
unlocked Monday through Friday,
explained Farmers Bank President and
CEO Paul Reed about the bank’s desire
to be involved in community projects
such as the Habitat house.
Reed said when the Board was presented with the idea of being part of the
project they jumped at the idea.
The volunteer opportunity was then
opened up for all employees who wanted to take part. There were around 25
Farmers Bank employees who took part
in the build on Friday.
“Donating money is one thing. Donating time to make it happen is of equal
value,” explained Reed of the importance of taking part in projects like the
blitz build.
While Ohio Valley Bank was the sponsor for Saturday, President and CEO
Tom Wiseman, along with several Ohio
Valley Bank employees were on hand
Friday, working on the house.
Wiseman explained that although this

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS
MCHD provides numerous program to the community
The Meigs County
Health Department
(MCHD) is charged with
providing public health
services to all our county’s citizens. We presently only receive .19 per
county resident per year
from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH)
via an annual subsidy
with which to meet this
responsibility. The current ODH Director stated
that local communities
should support their
health department. Consequently, a significant
part of our funding comes
from a one-mill tax levy
decided every five years.
On Nov. 8, Meigs County
voters will decide on a
replacement levy.
Residents benefit from
public health from birth
through death. In addition to those using our
clinical services such
as but not limited to
immunizations and those
who need birth or death
certificates, the MCHD
protects all county residents with restaurant and
food service inspections;
septic and sewage system
inspections, home sewage system design and
evaluation, mosquito
control; rabies investigation and public nuisance
investigations. Scrap tire
collection efforts have
accounted for thousands
of old and discarded tires
to be collected and properly disposed of. These
are just a few MCHD
programs. Check out our
newly designed website
www.meigs-health.com
for additional information
about our services.

Meigs County Farmers
staff members employed
by the MCHD, nine are
remunerated with local
tax levy monies; eight are
grant funded.
The MCHD, which
is required by law, has
operated in the county
since the 1920’s and for
the last several decades
largely independent of
other county funding
through the tax levy.
(Space and utilities are
provided as per state law
by the Board of County
Commissioners as well
as 15 hours of custodial
service per week.) Public
health services such as
those provided by the
Health Department are
the foundation on which
to build a healthy and
viable county for our
citizens.
What happens if the
levy does not pass? The
monies the levy would
have collected will have
to be assessed to the
townships and villages
which will mean fewer
dollars for township and
village roads, maintenance and other operational costs. It will mean
layoffs of personnel,
which will reduce local
services and grant money
coming into the County.
It will mean fees for services will increase.
What will the replacement levy cost the property owner for public
health services? .10 for
each $100 of assessed
(35 percent) valuation.
Visit www.meigscountyauditor.org to calculate
your expense in support
of these invaluable services. Please call me at

RIVERFRONT REFLECTIONS
Reading between the laugh lines
Wrinkles are inevitable.
I had the recent misfortune of reconfirming
this fact when a passing
glance in the bathroom
mirror to check for lipstick on my teeth nearly
turned into a memorial
service for my youth.
As my half-hearted
smile faded, my newly
discovered crow’s feet
vanished.
I smiled again and
they reappeared. I
repeated this ridiculous
sequence several times.
Cheeks up, cheeks down.
Wrinkles, no wrinkles.
How hilariously sad?
For a few brief
moments, I contemplated everything from
Botox injections to adding a few more expensive jars of self-proclaimed miracle cream
to my growing collection
of beauty potions. At
one point, I actually considered never smiling
again.
And that’s when it

attention to what truly
matters and letting go of
what doesn’t. If it brings
me joy and peace, I’m
keeping it. If it makes
me sad or unhappy, it
has to go. I absolutely
cannot justify being electively miserable. Frown
lines aren’t an option at
this point in my life.
I may never truly love

love what they represent.
