Proposal accepted
for work needed
to reopen pool
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — In an
effort to have the public
pool in Syracuse open
this summer, the Meigs
County Commissioners
approved a proposal
for work to reopen the
pool.
In response to a
request for proposals
recently published by
the commissioners,
three different proposals were received as
to what work needs to
be completed in order
to open the pool. The
proposals varied in the
work to be completed
and the price for the
work.
After review of the
proposals, the commissioners approved
the proposal from
Bruce Bumgardner of
Pool People in Meigs
County in the amount
of $73,000.
In approving the
proposal, the commis-

sioners noted that Bumgardner has previously
worked on the pool and
understands the work
that is needed to reopen
the pool.
As previously
reported, the county
is expected to receive
$100,000 in Capital
Budget funding for the
pool. The funding will
not be received for several months. In order to
proceed with the work,
the commissioners
approved an advance
of $100,000 from the
MCO Sales Tax fund
to the Meigs County
Parks District Pool line
item. The money will
be returned to the MCO
Sales Tax fund once
received from the Capital Budget fund.
In other business, the
commissioners,

it’s unclear whether elements of existing regulations on the disposal

Attorney General Dave
Yost has refused to give
clinics assurances they
will not face misdemeanor penalties until that

His refusal is what
prompted the litigation,
the lawsuit says.
Republican Gov. Ohio
Mike DeWine signed the
fetal tissue measure into
law in December.
As state attorney general, he investigated allegations regarding Planned
Parenthood’s treatment of
fetal remains in 2015. His
report found no evidence
of the illegal disposal that
was alleged, but it criticized the organization for
disposing of fetal remains
in landﬁlls. Planned Parenthood called the ﬁnding “inﬂammatory.”

GEORGE WRIGHT
POMEROY

March 7, 2021,
George Wright,

Amy Wright, Joshua
Hicks (Julie), Bethany

Our family extends
a heartfelt thank you
to our beautiful community for their care,

Biden getting 1st shot at making
mark on federal judiciary
The nearly 90 seats
that Biden can ﬁll, which
give their occupants life
tenure after Senate conﬁrmation, are fewer than
former Trump inherited
four years ago. That’s
because Republicans who
controlled the Senate
in the ﬁnal two years of
the Obama White House
conﬁrmed relatively few
judges.
Included in the tally are
10 seats on federal courts
of appeals where nearly
all appeals, other than the
few dozen decided by the
Supreme Court each year,
come to an end.
One seat is held by
Merrick Garland, whose
conﬁrmation as attorney
general is expected in the
coming days. Another
longtime judge on the
court, David Tatel, has
said he is cutting back on
his duties, a change that
allows Biden to appoint
his successor.
Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Thomas were
appellate judges at the
courthouse at the bottom
of Capitol Hill before they
joined the high court atop
the Hill.
The late Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader
Ginsburg also served on
the appeals court, where

they ﬁrst formed their
lasting friendship.
Following Scalia’s death
just over ﬁve years ago.
President Barack Obama
nominated Garland to
the Supreme Court, but
Senate Republicans didn’t
give him even a hearing,
much less a vote.
When Trump took
ofﬁce in January 2017, he
had a high court vacancy
to ﬁll. Trump ended up
making three Supreme
Court appointments to go
along with 54 appellate
court picks and 174 trial
judges, aided by thenSenate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell’s
determination to, as he
put it, “leave no vacancy
behind.”
Democrats and their
progressive allies say
they’ve learned a lesson
or two from the Republicans, and intend to make
judicial nominations a
greater focus than in past
Democratic administrations.
“It’s an exceptional situation where you have a
president and the people
around him people who
really see this as a high
priority,” said former
Sen. Russ Feingold, the
Wisconsin Democrat
who served with Biden in
the Senate for 16 years.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— President Joe Biden
has two seats to ﬁll on the
inﬂuential appeals court
in the nation’s capital that
regularly feeds judges to
the Supreme Court.
They are among the
roughly 10% of federal
judgeships that are or
will soon be open, giving
Biden his ﬁrst chance
to make his mark on the
American judiciary.
Barring an improbable
expansion of the Supreme
Court, Biden won’t be
able to do anything
about the high court’s
entrenched conservative
majority any time soon.
Justice Clarence Thomas,
at 72, is the oldest of the
court’s conservatives and
the three appointees of
former President Donald
Trump, ranging in age
from 49 to 56, are expected to be on the bench for
decades.
Democrats traditionally
have not made the judiciary a focus, but that is
changing after four years
of Trump and the vast
changes he made. Biden’s
appointments are also the
only concrete moves he
has right now to affect
the judiciary at large,
though there is talk about
expanding the number of
judges on lower courts.

could reﬂect anxieties
about being able to get
vaccines for ourselves
or our loved ones, says
Nancy Berlinger, a bioethicist with the Hastings Center.
“There’s the fear of
missing out, or fear of
missing out on behalf of
your parents,” she says.
Stereotypes about
what illness looks are
also feeding into doubts
about people’s eligibility,
even though the reason a
person got a shot won’t
always be obvious. In
other cases, Berlinger
says judgments could
reﬂect entrenched biases
about smoking and
obesity, compared with
conditions that society
might deem more “virtuous,” such as cancer.
Yet even though a mass
vaccination campaign is
bound to have imperfections, Berlinger noted
the goal is to prioritize
people based on medical
evidence on who’s most
at risk if infected.

Rio softball opens
long road swing
with pair of wins
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The University of
Rio Grande softball opened a week-long, 10-game
road swing with a pair of victories on Sunday,
knocking off the Mississippi University for
Women, 7-4 and 6-1, as part of the Fastpitch
Dreams Spring Classic at the North Myrtle Beach
Sports Complex.
Rio Grande upped its record to 6-3 as a result of
the sweep.
MUFW, which has a dual afﬁliation as an NCAA
Division III school and as a member of the United
States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA),
fell to 3-5 with the loss.
The Owls failed to maintain a pair of two-run
leads in the opener, as Rio Grande erased a 2-0
ﬁrst inning deﬁcit and then scored ﬁve unanswered markers to battle back from a 4-2 fourth
inning shortcoming.
A two-out solo home run by junior Taylor Webb
(Willow Wood, OH) in the fourth inning got the
RedStorm within one run, while freshman Cierra
Clark’s (Plain City, OH) ﬁfth inning RBI double
tied the game. Clark scored the go-ahead run
moments later when freshman pinch-hitter Caity
Moody’s (Xenia, OH) grounder to second was
errored.
Rio added a pair of insurance runs in the sixth
on a two-out, two-run home run by junior Kenzie
Cremeens (Ironton, OH).
Creemens ﬁnished 3-for-4 and also had a double,
while junior Shelby Schmitt (Fairﬁeld, OH) had
two hits of her own and drove in a run. Senior
Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) also had a double in
the win.
Senior Raelynn Hastings (Commercial Point,
OH) got the win, allowing eight hits and two
earned runs over six innings. Freshman Sydney
Campolo (New Lexington, OH) earned a save,
coming on to retire three straight batters — two
by strikeout — after the Owls put each of their
ﬁrst two runners on in the seventh inning.
Kaitlyn Parrish went the distance in the loss for
MUFW.
Anna Kate O’Bryant had two hits and drove in
two runs for the Owls, while Iyana Canada had
two hits, including a double. Miranda Nash also
doubled and drove in a run in the loss.
In game two, Campolo spotted the Owls a 1-0

Wahama wins in triple OT, 72-71
Gibbs becomes
9th Lady Falcon
to reach 1K
career points
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

MASON, W.Va. — Two
birds, one rock.
Senior Emma Gibbs
became the ninth girl in
school history to reach
the 1,000-point plateau,
and did so with a gamewinning free throw with
19 seconds left Monday
night as the Wahama
girls basketball team
survived three overtimes to claim a 72-71
victory over visiting
Ravenswood in a Little
Kanawha Valley Conference matchup at Gary
Clark Court in Mason
County.
Both teams battled
through 13 ties and 14
lead changes over the
course of the 44-minute
affair, and each squad
owned the lead seven different times — including
an advantage of three
possessions at least once
throughout the contest.
The Lady Falcons
(2-1, 2-0 LKC) faced
the largest deﬁcit of the
night at 27-17 barely a
minute into the third
quarter, but the hosts
made a focused effort to
get Gibbs the ball in the
paint — and the 5-foot11 4-year starter helped
spark a rally for the ages.
Gibbs — who was
limited to six points in
the ﬁrst half — poured
in seven points in each
of the ﬁnal two frames
of regulation, which
sparked a pair of 18-15
runs that turned a 23-17
intermission deﬁcit into
a 53-all contest headed
into the ﬁrst overtime.
Even more impressively, Gibbs was able
to extend the game into
overtime after banking in
a 3-pointer from the top
right side of the key with
just one second left on
the clock.
The Red Devilettes
(1-2, 1-2) built a 58-55

rallied to tie things up at
17-all before RHS made
a 6-0 run to close out the
half with a 23-17 advantage. The Red Devilettes
also led 38-35 headed
into the fourth period.
Wahama outrebounded
the guests by a sizable
44-26 overall margin,
including a 13-10 edge
on the offensive glass.
WHS committed 15 of
their 26 turnovers in the
ﬁrst half, while Ravenswood ended the night
with 16 miscues.
The hosts made 22-of49 ﬁeld goal attempts
for 45 percent, including a 6-of-11 effort from
behind the arc for 55
percent. Wahama also
sank 22-of-35 free throw
attempts for 63 percent.
Lieving followed
Gibbs with 14 points,
while Torre VanMatre
added a double-double
effort of 11 points and
10 rebounds. Lauren
Noble was next with 10
points and Amber Wolfe
contributed six markers.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va.
— Not one grand finale, but
actually two.
The Point Pleasant boys
basketball team made a combined 48-24 run in the second
and fourth quarters while
picking up its first win of the
2021 campaign on Monday
night with a 79-59 victory
over visiting Sherman in a
non-conference matchup at
‘The Dungeon’ in Mason
County.
The Big Blacks (1-2)
received six points apiece
from Eric Chapman and Hunter Bush in the opening frame

while building a 16-13 first
quarter edge.
Bush added eight points to
go along with seven Kyelar
Morrow points in the second
frame, allowing the hosts to
make a substantial 26-14 push
en route to a 42-27 intermission advantage.
Cameron Caldwell hit three
trifectas for the Tide as part
of a 17-14 third period push
that trimmed the deficit down
to 56-49 headed into the
finale.
PPHS, however, got eight
points from Bush down the
stretch and ended regulation
with a 22-10 surge to complete the 20-point triumph.
The Red and Black made

32 total field goals — including six 3-pointers — and also
went 8-of-11 at the free throw
line for 73 percent.
Bush led the hosts with a
game-high 29 points, followed
by Morrow and Chapman
with 15 markers each. Zach
McDaniel was next with six
points, while Malik Butler and
Jonathan Griffin respectively
added five and three points.
Cody Schultz, Peyton Murphy and Josh Towe completed
the winning mark with two
points apiece.

Green was next with eight
points, while Jacob Welch and

Rio men
return from
layoff with
shutout win
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.
— In its ﬁrst outing
since the ﬁnal day of
October, the University
of Rio Grande men’s
soccer team show little
— if any — signs of any
rust.
Charlie Chechlacz
and Diego Martinez
each had a goal and
an assist as the 13thranked RedStorm routed Marian University,
5-0, Saturday afternoon,
in non-conference
action at St. Vincent
Field.
Rio Grande improved
to 9-2 with the victory.
Marian fell to 3-10-2
with the loss.
The RedStorm outshot the host Knights,
29-6, and enjoyed an
8-1 edge in corner kick
opportunities.
Rio Grande also
played with a oneman advantage for the
ﬁnal 22:27 of the ﬁrst
half after Marian goal
keeper Brendan Weiger
received a second yellow card caution, which
resulted in his red card
disqualiﬁcation.
The advantage grew
to two players just over
four minutes into the
second half when Marian’s Dylann Merchand
was assessed a straight
red card.
Chechlacz, a junior
from Liecestershire,
England, gave Rio the
only goal it would need
with an unassisted
marker a little less than
seven minutes into the
contest. He assisted
on a goal by sophomore Osvaldo Pereira
(Campo Grande, Brazil)
with 16:53 remaining
before the intermission
to make it 2-0.
Sophomore Diego
Montenegro (Santiago,
Chile) scored an unassisted goal of his own
8-1/2 minutes later to
extend the lead to 3-0,
while a pair of second
half scores in a span of
just under eight minutes set the ﬁnal tally.
Martinez, a freshman
from Santiago, Chile,
scored off a feed from
senior Ewan McLauchlan (Aroch, Scotland)
with 38:39 left to play,
before assisting on a
marker by senior Callum Malanaphy (Stourbridge, England) with
30:50 remaining.
Freshman goalie
Daniel Merino Correa (Madrid, Spain)
stopped three shots in
his Rio Grande debut.
Nikalaas Kolosso,
who came on in net
after Weiger’s dismissal, had nine saves in the
loss for Marian.
Rio Grande returns to
action on Tuesday afternoon when Tennessee
Wesleyan visits Evan
E. Davis Field for a 1
p.m. kickoff. The Bulldogs (8-1) are among
the schools receiving
votes in the latest NAIA
coaches’ Top 25 poll.

Information Director at the

Pete Graham, right, receives the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine from a volunteer worker on Friday, Feb.
26, at a mass vaccination clinic in Seattle. Graham was able to get the vaccine because he had worked a shift at the
clinic as a volunteer earlier in the day.

Volunteers are key at vaccine sites
SEATTLE (AP) — When
Seattle’s largest health care
system got a mandate from
Washington state to create a
mass COVID-19 vaccination
site, organizers knew that
gathering enough volunteers
would be almost as crucial as
the vaccine itself.
“We could not do this
without volunteers,” said
Renee Rassilyer-Bomers, chief
quality ofﬁcer for Swedish
Health Services and head of
its vaccination site at Seattle
University. “The sheer volume
and number of folks that we
wanted to be able to serve and
bring in requires … 320 individuals each day.”
As states ramp up vaccination distribution in the
ﬁght against the coronavirus,
volunteers are needed to do
everything from direct trafﬁc
to check people in so vaccination sites run smoothly. In
return for their work, they’re
often given a shot. Many people who don’t yet qualify for
a vaccine — including those
who are young and healthy
— have been volunteering in

like, ‘Everybody who needs a
vaccine come this way.’ I kind
of had to ask,” Dudden said.
“At end of day, I found whoever was in charge of that.”
He got what he was hoping
for and still wants to volunteer again.
“It was a little bit of a selfish thing — ‘I’m gonna get the
vaccine if I do this’ — but for
me, it wasn’t the only factor,”
Dudden said.
At the Seattle vaccination
clinic, Swedish Health Services considers volunteers part
of the state’s Phase 1 vaccination group. About 5,000 have
been inoculated, and about
1,000 of them have come
back to work again, RassilyerBomer said.
During their shifts, volunteers are handed colored vests
matched to their skill level
and experience. The majority
wear orange for general tasks,
which includes sanitizing
clipboards, asking people to
ﬁll out forms, taking temperatures and monitoring the
newly vaccinated to ensure no
dangerous side effects.

hopes of getting a dose they
otherwise may not receive for
months. Large vaccination
clinics across the country have
seen thousands trying to nab
limited numbers of volunteer
shifts.
It’s raised questions at a
time when supplies are limited and some Americans have
struggled to get vaccinated
even if they are eligible. But
medical ethicists say volunteers are key to the public
health effort and there’s nothing wrong with them wanting
protection from the virus.
Ben Dudden, 35, of Roanoke, Virginia, volunteered at
a mass vaccination clinic in
the nearby city of Salem on
a day off from his part-time
job at the Roanoke Pinball
Museum. His wife, a nurse
practitioner who was administering doses, encouraged him
to volunteer in case he could
get vaccinated.
He spent that January day
helping people ﬁll out questionnaires, not knowing if he
might get the coveted dose.
