RIO GRANDE — With the upcoming Nov. 7 election, the Rio Grande Community College is asking the public to consider a replacement levy, its first in 43 years. “We were created because there are built in financial challenges with any one of these institutions existing here alone (in southeast Ohio),” said University of Rio Grande and Rio According to the dual university and college’s figures, one out of sixteen individuals in its four counties of service are either Rio Grande alumni or some form or donor. Grande Community College President Dr. Michelle Johnston. “When community colleges were being established in the state, the then governor said we needed a community college in this region of Ohio to serve (Gallia, Jackson, Vinton and Meigs Counties). The thinking was let’s assess what resources we already have and at that time (the previously named Rio Grande College) had been here for many years. It was well-established and serving the community.” Johnston said the decision from the state was to place the See LEVY | 2 Coolville man pleads guilty to attempting to meet teen for sex By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — A Coolville man who allegedly attempted to meet at teenager for sex earlier this year has pleaded guilty. Michael B. Smith, of Coolville, pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony charge of importuning as indicted by a Meigs County Grand Jury in February. Smith had also been indicted on a fifth-degree felony charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, which was dismissed as part of the plea. According to the plea agreement, a joint sentencing recommendation is to be made for five years of community control with the condition that Smith complete the SEPTA sex offender program. He must also register as a Tier I sex offender and stay away from the victim in the case.

James Diehl James Miller Fenton Taylor Dennis Eichinger Steve Ohlinger Travis Abbott A look back as MHS turns 50 Tradition in the classroom By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com Editor’s note: This is the second in a three part series looking at the 50 years of Meigs High School. While it will not be a comprehensive look at the history of the school (that would take many, many more articles), it will provide a look at some of the highlights, changes and happenings over the 50 year history of the school. ROCKSPRINGS — There have been many changes in the region, nation and world over the past 50 years, and while there has been change at Meigs High School as well, there has been much more tradition and consistency over the years. After the combining of Middleport, Pomeroy and Rutland high schools into Meigs High School at the start of the 1967-68 school year, the students settled in to their new building for the 1969-70 school year. While students spend only a few short years in high school, many of the teachers, staff and administrators have spent many more years of their time in that building or even in one classroom. In its 50 years, Meigs High School has been under the leadership of only six different principals. James Diehl became the first Meigs High School principal at the start of the 1967-68 school year before the students were even in the same building. Diehl brought the high school through the transition from separate schools to being under the same roof and ultimately into the Meigs High School building we know now. In June 1969, the Meigs Local Board of Education recognized Diehl for his work during the consolidation. The Congratulatory Resolution read as follows, Whereas, you, James A. Diehl, were Principal of the Meigs High School during the time of the consolidation of the three high schools and during the time they were all housed together at one site for the first time, and Whereas, you worked under Photos from Meigs High School Yearbooks, Sentinel file photos and by Sarah Hawley Meigs High School teacher Jim Oliphant looks over his desk which has been signed by hundreds of students in his 35 years of teaching. crowded conditions, and Whereas, you made it possible for everyone to attend the Graduation exercises who wished to do so, Whereas, you did make arrangements for an ideal commencement setting for the first combined graduation of the three former high schools. Now therefore, be it resolved, by the Meigs Local School District Board of Education: Section 1. Does hereby commend you, James A. Diehl, for the above named reasons. Section 2. That the Clerk be authorized to send you a copy of this resolution as an expression of our appreciation for the excellent manner in which you supervised the graduating seniors, the Meigs High School Band, and all the others who participated in graduation exercises. Diehl would continue to serve as the principal of Meigs High School through the 1981-82 school year. James Miller served as the Meigs High School principal for five years after Diehl, with his final year as principal coming in the 1986-87 school year. Fenton Taylor, who had served as the school’s assistant principal, took over as principal beginning with the 1987-88 school year, a position he would hold through the 1997-98 school year. Taylor’s 11 year tenure as principal is second only to Diehl’s 15 years as principal at the school. Taylor was also a coach in the district, including an assistant on the first Meigs High School football team. Dennis Eichinger served as principal for the next 9 years, going from the 1998-99 school year to the 2006-07 school year when he left to take a position with Washington State Community College. He had been with Meigs Local School District since 1993 in an administrative role.

He was born on Feb. 24, 1937, in Letart Falls, Ohio, son of the late Harold and Margery Hill Roush. He was a member of the Racine United Methodist Church in Racine, Ohio; and a member of Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society. He retired as a civil engineer from the W.Va. Department of Highways.

It’s been a public university with public community college,” said Johnston. “You don’t have this public community college placed and co-located with a private university. This (Rio Grande) was the only place that they did that. At first it was a co-location. So we shared some resources and used some of the same buildings. It was about sharing resources.” As an example, the dual institutions have shared maintenance staff funded by the university which are contracted to the community college said the president. “We’ve always had important but modest financial support from private sources. We have one of the lowest private tuition bands in the state of Ohio…We know that’s important to make certain students can get an affordable education,” said Johnston. According to previously collected information, the levy was established in 1974 to support Rio Grande Community College. Over the past 43 years, Rio has used local support to directly impact the quality of its academic programs and to support its commit- ELDON SHANE BAKER ASTOR, Fla. — Eldon Shane Baker, 52, of Astor, Florida, and formerly of Syracuse, passed away on Aug. 28, 2017, at his residence.

An agriculture program has been one such initiative discussed among officials. Currently, the levy is based on property values at the time it was approved by voters, meaning that the value is assessed on what the properties were worth in the 1970s rather than 2017. According to the dual university and college’s figures, one out of sixteen individuals in its four counties of service are either Rio Grande alumni or some form or donor. From those same four counties, roughly 75 percent of the students are from them. Tuition has reportedly increased $39 per class over the last six years. Community college tuition rate for residents of Gallia, Jackson, Meigs or Vinton Counties are charged $116.16 per credit hour. An institutional fee of $20 per credit hour is added as well as a comprehensive fee of $300 once per semester. Residents of Ohio but outside the four county district are charged $116.16 per credit hour with a $30 out of district surcharge per credit hour. An institutional fee of $20 is also added per credit hour and a comprehensive fee once per semester is charged at $315. Private university charges at less than 12 hours per credit hour are $1,065. Tuition charged between 12 and 18 credit hours is $12,765 and tuition charged per additional credit hour over 19 credit hours taken is $1,065. Tuition charges of adult degree completion per credit hour also adds $535 while a BSN per credit hour adds $505 per credit hour. Standard room and board of a residence hall per semester is $5,315. Johnston said both institutions have been in discussion with major jobs creators in the four county district in hopes of gearing coursework to area business needs. The institutions have also taken part in the College Credit Plus program, which allows high school students to attend college classes and earn both credits in high school and college coursework. Dual institution officials have stated students have walked out of high school with associate’s degrees in some cases. Johnston has said keeping both institutions running and improving was directly connected to the economic success of the four county district. The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College has reportedly been in discussions with the Bob Evans Restaurant division about potentially acquiring the farm’s land bordering the dual institutions’ property. Johnston stressed the levy was not to be used to purchase the land but instead to improve on the university and college’s current programs and added education initiatives.

The replacement levy will continue to support Rio Grande Community College. Johnston has claimed other community colleges in Ohio have requested tax levies every five or six years in comparison to the Rio Grande institutions. The previous levy, which has been collected since the 1976 tax year, generated $115,919.93 in Meigs County in 2016. In comparison, the replacement levy, should all taxes be paid, would generate an estimated $385,928.25 in Meigs County. Figures from Gallia County indicate that the levy could generate $794,218.31. Over the region in which the levy would be collected, a total of $2,021,517.05, would be generated according to auditor certification figures. The replacement renewal levy is a tax that is based on current property evaluations. If the levy passes, a homeowner owning property worth $100,000 will pay an additional $2.39 per month, according to a press release from URG. Johnston said the previous 1974 funding accounted for around four percent of the community college’s budget whereas the new levy would bring in less than 10 percent of the community college’s budget. The president said the institution intends to use the funding to maintain and improve current classes as well as STOCKS 30 (SPIKE) AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC Daily Sentinel 39 (AMC) 40 (DISC) 42 (A&E) 52 (ANPL) 57 (OXY) 58 60 61 (WE) (E!)

According to PVH: “The Employee of the Month at Pleasant Valley Hospital is nominated for taking extra steps to provide excellent customer service to our patients and family members at Pleasant Valley Hospital.” Pam Burnett received the award for July. She has been employed since February 1976. She currently works as a nursing assistant in the Same Day Surgery Department. She was nominated by a patient who expressed his gratitude for the experience he and his family encountered at PVH. He explained that he and his family had always gone to another hospital for all of their health care needs, but after his experience in Same Day Surgery, everything changed. He said he had never been made to feel so relaxed and cared for as he had that day. He stated that Burnett went above and beyond any expectation that he or his family had concerning his care. He stated she was engaging and lifted everyone’s spirits. He watched Burnett from his room go about her work and realized she provided the same level of care and interaction with all of her patients. PVH not only gained one new patient, but he felt certain his family would seek out their health care needs at PVH and his friends with which he shares his experience. Burnett and her husband, Mike, reside in Point Pleasant, and have a son, Matthew. In her free time she enjoys traveling with her friends. Lori Kirker was named PVH Employee of the Month for August. She has been employed since February 2011 and currently works as a Nursing Assistant. Kirker was nominated because she goes above and beyond her job description when caring for her patients. She is empathetic when she talks with them, and they really appreciate and enjoy her care. Patients frequently comment on how much they like her. She is great to work with, and she is accurate in the information she collects.

She never complains when asked to help with additional tasks. Kirker and her husband, William Kirker, Jr., reside in Leon. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her seven grandchildren. Sheila McKnight was named PVH Employee of the Month for September. McKnight has been employed since August 2014, as a Follow-Up Account Representative. She was nominated because she went above and beyond in helping a patient and her husband resolve coordination of benefit issues with their insurance. With an initial phone call, McKnight had given instructions to the patient’s husband on how to update his wife’s COB information. After being unsuccessful, the husband came into the Business Office for help. This was on a Friday, and she attempted to call Medicare, but there was a 30-minute wait time. The husband was unable to wait that long and went home. She advised him to try again on Monday and let her know if she could assist him in any way. He returned to the Business Office on Monday and after what turned into over a 30-minute telephone call with Medicare, McKnight and the husband successfully updated the coordination of benefits and his wife’s claims are being reprocessed for payment.

He will also lead a senior trade mission to China that month, the Commerce Department announced Tuesday. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met when Xi visited the U.S. in April, in a meeting where they agreed on a 100-day plan for trade talks to address Trump’s complaints about China’s swollen trade surpluses. Ross said that while those talks have yielded some progress, such as a deal to let U.S. beef into China, “we’re looking for bigger things and more difficult things than what we had in the first 100 days.” Christopher E. Tenoglia Attorney at Law Help Right Here At Home Mesothelioma • Lung Cancer Wrongful Death 60732756 HONG KONG (AP) — U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Wednesday that the Trump administration’s priorities as it prepares to tackle “bigger” and “more difficult” trade issues with China are better market access, less protectionism and protecting intellectual property rights. Ross spoke to reporters in Hong Kong after visiting Beijing, where he said he made it clear to Chinese officials that “we do need major change” in the U.S-China trade relationship, which he said “is too lopsided.” Ross met Premier Li Keqiang, China’s top economic official, in Beijing as part of preparations for President Donald Trump’s 740-992-6368 200 E. 2nd�6WUHHW�3RPHUR\��2+�Ř�WHQODZ#VXGGHQOLQNPDLO�FRP 60735499 �E ditorial 4 Thursday, September 28, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Becoming a U.S. citizen in the age of Donald Trump I felt my first real twinge of regret about not being a U.S. citizen in 2008, when Barack Obama was elected president. An American university where my father once worked as a professor had helped secure green cards for my whole family, in 1992. (I was 11 at the time.) I had renewed my green card twice since then. People often asked why I hadn’t applied for citizenship. This is the life I’m used to, I’d say: smugly returning jury notices, watching elections from a safe distance, standing in endless queues for travel visas, enduring taxation without representation. The truth is I felt torn about Namwali swearing allegiance to a nation Serpell with such a horrific past — slavery, Contributing lynching, internment, Hiroshima, columnist deportation, police brutality. But Obama seemed to transcend that history, to synthesize and neutralize it in his very body. He was born here, but, like me, he is mixed-race, black, Halfrican. I regretted not being able to vote for America’s first black president. Then Donald Trump was elected president. For the first time in my life, I wanted to join a political protest, without fear of arrest and deportation. A week after he won the election, I put in my application for naturalization. A week after his inauguration, I had my biometric screening. A month after his second Muslim travel ban went into effect, I had my naturalization interview. Over the last nine months, because of Trump’s presidency, I have learned more about American politics and history than I ever learned in high school, far more than I needed to know for my 10-question citizenship exam. I know all about filibustering and gerrymandering. I know what budget reconciliation is. I know when those Confederate monuments were built and why. I know that everyone in the U.S., regardless of immigration status, has the right to free speech — including the right to burn the American flag — and the right to bear arms. I know there is no official language of the U.S. I know what the 25th Amendment is. My citizenship ceremony took place in Oakland, Calif., in mid-August, mere days after the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. It was held in the historic Paramount Theater, which was big enough to hold more than 1,000 newly minted citizens from more than 90 different countries, plus their cheering friends and families. The neo-Nazis in Charlottesville had hollered, “You will not replace us!” Some of them had even subbed in “Jews” for “you.” As I looked around the packed theater, I thought, “Well, actually … “ We, the new people of the United States of America, gave oaths in unison and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” We stood up to represent our old countries as their names were read aloud. (Zambia was last on the list; I was the only Zambian.) We clapped and waved little flags and laughed uproariously when a speaker joked that we would never again have to wait in an immigration line. The line to submit our passport applications stretched out of the theater and into the street. As it inched along, I registered to vote and spent the rest of the hour chatting with a lovely Nigerian woman about the traumas of the past months, about our lives in America, about the citizenship application process. We each took pictures with a cardboard cutout of Obama dressed as a superhero. (Bless you, Oakland.) I was hoping to receive an accidental letter of welcome from him rather than Trump, as hundreds of other newly naturalized citizens had. But when we received our precious envelopes in Oakland that day, there was no letter of welcome at all. Trump apparently hadn’t gotten around to writing and signing one. This feels especially fitting now that Trump has announced his intention to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. He has left the so-called Dreamers — children of immigrants, just like me — in torturous suspense. California Supreme Court Justice MarianoFlorentino Cuellar, also a naturalized citizen, gave the final speech at my naturalization ceremony. He exhorted us to believe that we belong here, that we are welcome. He told us that no one can tell us otherwise, “no matter how rich or poor they are, no matter which house they live in.” Then he paused. In that pause, the word “house” seemed to grow a capital letter and acquire the word “White” before it. Still, I have chosen to become a U.S. citizen. I feel proud to be a U.S. citizen at a time like this. And I feel ashamed to be a U.S. citizen at a time like this. This ambivalence, I have come to realize, is the most American thing about me.

We should also through statehouses, and stop treating staying the Koch brothers’ darkhome as a legitimate Before I started writing speeches for Barack Obama, his words had already changed my life. On the morning of Jan. 3, 2008, I was a typical college senior, barely interested in politics. That night, I saw the long-shot presidential candidate address his supporters after winning the Iowa caucuses. “Faced with impossible odds, people who love this country can change it,” he declared. It was the electoral equivalent of love at first sight. Over the next eight years, I was reminded many times that politics can be transcendent. I was in an Ohio campaign office when America elected its first black president. As a speechwriter, I met parents whose children’s lives were saved by Obamacare. The night gay marriage became legal nationwide, I stood with my girlfriend outside a White House lit up like a rainbow, surrounded by tear-stained couples of every stripe. But here’s something else my time in Obamaworld taught me. Most of the time, politics is really dull. Entering data on the campaign trail, or parsing policy memos in my White House office, changing the country didn’t feel like magic. It felt like work. That’s a lesson my fellow Democrats need to absorb as we chart a path forward in the postObama era. Obama was an exceptional figure in politics and — it’s implicit in the word — an exception. Democracy isn’t always infused with drama. If progressives want to regain power, we need to embrace boring. Potential for lasting change has never been money operation funnels hundreds of millions of dollars into political infrastructure. In a less broken system, these tactics would be politically harmful or in some cases prohibited. In the system we have now, they work. There are, of course, ethical lines progressives must not cross. But we also have to recognize that the quickest way to fix our institutions is to win control of them. If we have to run a slightly more conservative candidate to flip a vastly more conservative district, let’s do it. And if the only way to elect a Congress that takes big money out of politics is by funding a super PAC, let’s fund it. There’s nothing noble about missing the chance to fight climate change, insure millions, raise wages for workers or protect law-abiding immigrants simply because we want to remain unsullied by the political process. Not long after the marriage equality decision was handed down, Obama delivered one of my favorite speeches. “Progress on this journey often comes in small increments,” he said in the Rose Garden. “And then sometimes there are days like these, when that slow, steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.” It is easy to grow weary during the slow, steady days that define public service. But if progressives find a way to make the most of the promise those days hold, we will see far more thunderbolts of justice in the years to come.

In addition to the physical changes to the area, there has also been a decrease in the number of students in the school. Oliphant said that in the 1980s when he started teaching there was around 800-850 students in the school, now, there is 500-550 per year. While there is the decline in numbers, the types of students have remained the same. The students have varies interests with athletics, band, vocational classes and many others. “The band numbers have always been good,” said Oliphant, giving credit to longtime band director Toney Dingess for the band remaining the same size despite the student population decline. “There has always been a challenge with low income and high unemployment, but that is the nature of Appalachia,” said Oliphant of teaching in the area. Overall, Oliphant said the kids have been very polite and respectful over the years. Now, after years of teaching, Oliphant is teaching the children of some of his former students. Looking at a wooden desk at the front of his classroom which has the names of many students on it, Oliphant pointed to several spots where recent students had signed next to the name of their mother or father, who had previously been in the same class. With the mix of younger teachers and veteran teachers, Oliphant has had the opportunity to work with his former students, including Principal Travis Abbott, but for the first time is working with a teacher who’s father he taught. Oliphant noted that he did not teach co-worker Katie Corbitt, but did teach her father. “I have not taught any grandchildren yet,” said Oliphant. Among the key changes over the past 35 years, Oliphant noted technology, as well as the changes in teaching standards and the tests required by the state for students. In his first years, videos could only be shown on reel-to-reel projectors, then VHS and DVD, leading to now where things can be found online and shown easily. The types of technology the students use has also changed, as in the early years of teaching each classroom would only have one calculator due to the cost. Now, calculators are on phones which nearly every student carries. Asked if there were particular things that stood out over the years, Oliphant noted a fire in the third floor storage bathroom which caused little damage, snow and flood days, and a strike in the 1987-88 school year. It was during the strike that Oliphant met his future wife, Kim, who taught at Rutland Elementary. “We were married a year to the day after our first date,” said Oliphant. With his wife’s family from the Meigs area and her having gone to school at Meigs, they remained in the area and it became home. “People here are very gracious. I am grateful for the support,” said Oliphant of the Meigs community. There have been a lot more good than bad, said Oliphant of his days at Meigs High School. “I’ve seen a lot of football, basketball, homecomings,” said Oliphant. He noted the bulletin board inside his classroom door which holds the senior pictures of many students from over the years. One of the items that Oliphant has saved from his early years of teaching is a character drawing created by 1989 graduate Chad Carson of many of the teachers at the school at the time. Oliphant explained each of the drawings and why they were depicted that way.

That’s because the Meigs Marauder twosome qualified as individuals for the Division II boys district golf tournament, as they placed among the top-15 at Tuesday’s sectional tournament at the Chillicothe Jaycees Golf Course. To be more specific, the senior Chapman and junior Nicholson were two of the top five individuals not on a district-qualifying team to advance. As a unit, the Marauders — the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division champions — missed making the district by a razor-thin two strokes, as Meigs finished seventh overall. The five-man Marauders fired a team total of 351 — with the top four scores counting towards the group tally. Meigs and Circleville actually tied on the scoreboard, but the Tigers took the fifth-score tiebreaker by six strokes. Logan Elm finished fifth for the final qualifying spot, edging out Meigs and Circleville with a team total of 349. But Chapman and Nicholson kept their seasons alive, as Nicholson notched a 6-over par 78 while Chapman chalked up an 82. For Nicholson, who shot a 40 on the Jaycees front nine and a 38 on the back, this will be his initial appearance at the district meet. Chapman, whose 82 included a 42 on the front and a 40 on the back side, advances out of the sectional for the third consecutive and final time.

The Bengals’ offense had a new look, but ran into a familiar problem in the second half. It couldn’t move the ball when it needed to, setting up a 27-24 overtime loss. Bengals offense: New look, familiar problems CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Mixon moved into the role of featured running back, carrying more times than in the first two games combined. A.J. Green became a go-to receiver again, with as many catches as in his first two games. The Bengals offense had a very different look in Bill Lazor’s first time calling plays, but ran into a familiar problem in the second half. It couldn’t move the ball when it needed to, setting up a 27-24 overtime loss in Green Bay on Sunday. With that, the Bengals (0-3) fell into a deep hole from which they’ve never recovered in previous seasons. They lost their first three games to start a season 13 other times and never managed as much as a winning record. A loss on Sunday against the 0-3 Browns would render their season a waste already. Lazor thinks things will go more smoothly in his second game as offensive coordinator. The staff is still adjusting to the changes since Ken Zampese was fired as coordinator after an 0-2 start that included no touchdowns from the offense. “It won’t feel like a normal process yet,” Lazor said. “Maybe next week will. It will be different in some ways because some of the things won’t have to be brand new for us as a staff. I think the players will be fine.” Lazor was the offensive coordinator in Miami for two years before coming to Cincinnati as the quarterbacks coach. Zampese was fired because the offense never got into a flow and his top players weren’t getting involved as much as in the past. Lazor changed that part right away. Green had 10 catches — matching his total for the first two games combined — in Green Bay. Mixon, a second-round pick, was given the lead role in the running game after Zampese had shared it equally among three running backs without getting a good result. “I think the guys who have proven before that they can be successful and help you win games, you’ve got to rely on them to do it,” Lazor said. “A guy like Joe, we all expected he would start to rise to that.” Lazor’s most important job was to get Andy Dalton settled down. The quarterback was under constant pressure the first two games behind an inexperienced offensive line and had five turnovers with no touchdown passes. Dalton was 21 of 27 for 212 yards with a pair of touchdowns, no turnovers and a 124.1 passer rating in Green Bay, a significant improvement. Dalton is adjusting to a different approach from a new coordinator. “I think that was a challenge for both of us,” Lazor said. “Just like with the whole offense, I had to decide with Andy: How much do you change? If you have a list of three things or eight things or however much that maybe you want to change, how much does it really make sense in one week? It was a challenge, and it still will be.” The Bengals scored on their first possession in Green Bay and led 21-7. They managed only one field goal in the second half, harking back to the problems last season when they’d have a fast start and crumble at the end during a 6-9-1 season. “We obviously played better — we scored a touchdown,” Dalton said. “But at the end of the game, we’ve got to find a way to put that away.” BURFICT EXEMPTION: LB Vontaze Burfict completed his latest three-game suspension from the NFL for another egregious hit and is expected to start in Cleveland on Sunday. He can practice on Wednesday with a non-roster exemption, and the team must add him to the roster by Thursday at 4 p.m. The Bengals gave Burfict a contract extension while he was serving the suspension for leveling a Chiefs running back during a preseason game. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Thursday, September 28, 2017 7 Wellston outlasts Lady Raiders in five games pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — For the Wellston Golden Rockets, it was indeed quite the comeback. For the River Valley Lady Raiders, it was certainly one that got away. That’s because — inside the sweltering River Valley High School gymnasium on Tuesday night — the Golden Rockets rallied from a two-gamesto-one deficit, and clipped the Lady Raiders 25-27, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21 and 15-11 in a marathon TriValley Conference Ohio Division volleyball tilt. That’s right. River Valley, which just snapped a 12-match losing streak with a straight-set sweep of Ohio Valley Christian School on Monday night, had just won the third game to go up 2-1. The Lady Raiders then erased a 2-0 fourth-game deficit by scoring 10 consecutive points — the final nine of which came off the serve of Rachel Horner, including bookending the spree with five aces. However, River Valley’s victory celebration never materialized, for the Golden Rockets responded with 23 of the final 34 points to force a fifth and decisive game. In that fifth set, Wellston never trailed, building leads as large as 6-1 and 14-9 — sandwiched around its with- the game at 20-20, but Wellston won five of the final six points for the 2-2 tie — including two kills by Madison Stewart and an ace by Kaylee Taynor. Stewart then collected a kill and back-to-back aces for the 6-1 Wellston cushion in game five, as after River Valley rallied to within 8-7, the Raiders never got closer after back-to-back kills by Kelli Aubrey and Kisor. A thunderous kill by Hannah Stewart finally clinched the come-frombehind win. Madison Stewart paced the Golden Rockets with 15 kills and three aces, while Hannah Stewart netted nine kills and Kisor chipped in seven.

Owners OK sale of Marlins to Jeter group MIAMI (AP) — The woebegone Miami Marlins are Derek Jeter’s problem now. Major league owners on Wednesday approved the sale of the team by Jeffrey Loria to an investment group led by Jeter and Bruce Sherman, two people familiar with the vote said. The people confirmed the decision to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the approval had not been announced. One of the people said the vote was unanimous, with 75 percent approval needed. A signed $1.2 billion agreement was submitted to Major League Baseball last month to sell the Marlins to a group led by Sherman, a venture capitalist who will be the controlling owner. Jeter, the former New York Yankees captain, plans to be a limited partner in charge of the business and baseball operations. The closing on the sale is expected within a few days.
