By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MEIGS COUNTY — As we ring in 2019, it’s time to take a look back at the top stories of 2018. Here are just a few of the highlights from Meigs County’s 199th year as the county prepares to celebrate its bicentennial in 2019. Flooded Ohio In February all eyes were on the river as the county saw its highest river level in more than a decade. River levels rose over President’s Day weekend, cresting at 50.4 feet in Pomeroy — enough to put ﬂood waters in many businesses along Main Street, as well as ﬂooding areas of Racine, Long Bottom and other low lying places along the river. While cleanup began, the river started to climb for a second time in as many weeks, but stopped short of ﬂood stage in most of the area the second time. Business owners, community members and many, many others came together to help each other during the recovery process. The ﬂooding and resulting damage led to disaster declarations at the federal, state and county levels.

On Jan. 22 three wildlife ofﬁcers along with their canine partners, two German Shepards and a Labrador Retriever, began their 10-week training program at the Reno “Jay” Reda Wildlife Canine Academy based at Cowen Lake State Park in Ohio.

They are also able to track down gun powder or a piece of evidence a criminal may discard into the wilderness. The wildlife canines will demonstrate passive alerts by lying down or siting by an article from the criminal or gun powder when found and will bark for proximity alerts. Among the donors helping to make the wildlife canines possible was the Karr-Aanestad K-9 Foundation. The Karr-Aanestad K-9 Foundation Fund was formed in loving memory and in dedication to the legacy of Mr. Horace Karr and his son-in-law, Dr. Erik Aanestad. In the fall came K-9 Bonnie and K9 Cheri. K-9 Bonnie joined the Middleport Police Department with handler Ofﬁcer Shannon Smith. Bonnie, a Belgian Malinois, recently completed her training and is now working in the village. “Bonnie will be nothing but a beneﬁt and asset to the community,” said Chief Bruce Swift of the new addition to the department. Bonnie comes to Middleport from the Czech Republic, by way of Final Response K9 Solutions in London, Ohio.

For those of you who did not enjoy years of high school Latin, allow me to translate: annus horribilis means horrible year. The phrase ﬁrst appeared around 1891 in an Anglican publication. It was used to describe 1870, the year in which the Roman Catholic church deﬁned the dogma of papal infallibility. Queen Elizabeth was referring to 1992, a year during Marla which several of her offspring and/or Boone their spouses managed to splay their Contributing names, reputations, and shenanigans columnist all over the headlines. She remarked, “1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an annus horribilis.” Liz, I feel your pain. Even though 2018 was not an unqualiﬁed success, it still had its high points. But because I aspire to be a better person, I am trying to live in the moment and not dwell on the unpleasantness behind us. Although sheparding a sunny outlook for the future does not deﬁne living in the moment, it’s my way of keeping hope alive. Since this column appears on New Year’s Eve, a traditional day for cock-eyed optimists (with apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein), I have allowed myself that much literary license. And since I am in such an expansive mood, I reached out to others for their ideas on what would make for a better world. While writing this, I was communicating with a friend who suffered his own losses in 2018. Yet he remains unfailingly kind, helpful, cheerful, caring, and generous. When I asked for his input about keeping hope alive, this is what he wrote: I hope for a love without end. I hope for fresh water. I hope for clean air to breathe. I hope no soldier is ever needed. I hope for common decency among people. I hope for humans to become more aware. I hope for government to become for the people again. I hope the ﬂowers always bloom. I hope all people have a room and a roof. I hope we see our true worth. I hope that time never stands still. I hope that children know they’re needed. I hope the elderly never feel unwanted. As difﬁcult as it seemed to improve upon that, I sought one more opinion. He said his hope was to have as many quality days as possible…no more, no less. In the face of those two noble contributions, I would like to offer my own humble prose. So, in no particular order: I hope this country can ﬁnd its way through this malignant bout of bipartisanship and discover a middle ground that will permit us to persevere. The average democracy has a shelf life of 240 years. We’re already on borrowed time. My fear is that our sacred democracy will fail due to a seriously polarized Congress being unable to accomplish what is needed for us to not only survive but to thrive. I hope the tens of thousands of ragged refugees ﬁnd succor somewhere. I hope the sheer number of the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses do arrive at a place they can settle their yearning and breathe free. I hope every person on this earth can feel and appreciate the astonishing power of love. I hope the Golden Rule is indeed a rule and not the exception. I hope the overwhelming atmosphere of unquestioned righteousness that leads those afﬂicted to be unapproachable about their country, their religion, their god, their neighborhood, their color, their gender, their sexual orientation can be tempered by tolerance. I hope for happiness. I hope for serenity. I hope for peace of mind. I hope for peace. Marla Boone resides in Covington and originally wrote this column for the Troy Daily News and Piqua Daily Call.

THEIR VIEW She died of a broken heart One of my favorite Christmas memories was one I shared with our son, Greg, several years before he was married. A week before Christmas I left our home in Staunton, Va. on Amtrak and arrived at Union Terminal in Cincinnati in the middle of the morning. A few days later, a family member drove me to Lexington where I would spend the rest of my vacation with Greg. We had a delightful time, but our visit, like all good things, had come to an end. My plans were to ride a Greyhound bus from Lexington to Charleston, W.Va., then the following day ride Amtrak home to Staunton. The happy Christmas memories began to fade as Greg and I approached the Lexington bus station on New Circle Road. The bus was an hour late, and knowing he needed to get back to work, I told Greg he didn’t need to stay with me. I became choked up as Greg waved and pulled away from the station as I sat on a wooden bench in the light snow to await the bus. It was New Year’s Eve and the trip to Charleston was long and lonely. We sputtered through small town after small town, winding endlessly through the remote mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia. My mood became more somber as the trip, and the night, wore on. As we entered Charles- in the woman’s ton, I noticed a eyes.

It was the last letter she ever received from him. “Dear Sheila,” the letter began. “I hope you and the baby are doing well. I regret to inform you I married someone else last weekend, and will not be in contact with you any longer. Do try to forgive me.” “If a person ever died of broken heart, it was my daughter,” the woman said. “She died about a year after the last letter arrived. I miss her terribly.” “I’m so sorry for your loss,” I stammered, as I got up slowly and made my way back to my room. When I reached my motel room I sat down on the bed. My holiday season had turned from one of the happiest to one of the saddest in a matter of hours. It was uncomfortable to listen to the woman’s story, but it was one she needed to tell, if only to a stranger. There is healing power in sharing grief. It may be the most powerful medicine on earth. I never think of Charleston or New Year’s Eve, for that matter, that I don’t think about the lonely motel clerk and the sad story she told me years ago. St. Matthew reminds us, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to Me.’ I pray it helped.

By Kevin Freking Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s most promi nent GOP critics on Capitol Hill are days away from completing their Senate careers, raising the question of who — if anyone — will take their place as will ing to publicly criticize a president who remains popular with nearly 9 in 10 Republican voters. Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee engaged in a war of words with the president on myriad issues over the past 18 months, generat ing headlines and fiery tweets from a president who generally insists on getting the last word. Those battles put them on the outs with many in their own party, and they paid a price. Both decided to retire rather than take on a difficult re-election campaign. Flake was far and away Trump’s most consistent critic among Senate Republicans. Corker weighed in less often, but his descrip tion of the White House as an “adult day care center” rankled the president, who dubbed him “Liddle’ Bob Cork er.” The feud continued as Corker headed for the exits, with Trump asserting that Corker’s promise to serve only two terms was not the real reason he retired. Rather, Corker “wanted to run but poll num bers TANKED when I wouldn’t endorse him,” Trump tweeted. Corker replied: “Yes, just like Mexico is pay ing for the wall... #Alert- Courtesy photo The participants had a wooded view during their recent race around the golf course in Mason.

He is up for reelection in 2020 and has said he’ll decide by the summer whether to seek a second term. It would be tricky terrain for Sasse to publicly battle with Trump, who won the state in 2016 by 25 percentage points. Senate Republicans chafe at the notion they are unwilling to take on a president whose state ments and policy posi tions often run counter to traditional conserva tive positions. Sen.

N ¡1 Romney of Utah and Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, have both had their public run-ins with the president. Throughout his Sen ate campaign, Romney insisted that he would agree with Trump on some issues and not be shy about disagree ing on others. Romney appears to have more room with GOP voters in Utah to take on the president. Most voters in Utah — 64 percent — would like to see the senator confront the president, according to data from AP VoteCast, a survey of midterm voters. But Cooper said he doubts that’s a mantle Romney wants to take on, at least not right away. After serving as governor of Massachu setts, Romney will be focused on proving that he’s an advocate for Utah, Cooper said. “I think that’s where his head will be at the TheDaycareStaff. ” For now, don’t expect any Republican senator to take their place as chief agitator when the new Congress convenes Thursday, said Rory Cooper, a GOP strate gist who helped lead the “Never Trump PAC” during the 2016 Repub lican primary. He said publicly criticizing the president makes Repub lican votes back home unhappy and earns the ire of the president. Meanwhile, Democratic voters and the media give them too little credit, he said. “There is not an incentive structure for senators who disagree with or oppose the pres ident to speak out right now, but that could change if the (Robert) Mueller investigation continues to move in the direction it has been or the economy churns negative,” Cooper said.

The South Gallia boys basketball team trailed through three quarters, but made a 13-10 fourth quarter charge down the stretch to secure a season sweep of host Symmes Valley on Saturday with a 56-54 non-conference victory in Lawrence County. Neither the Vikings (2-8) nor the visiting Rebels (5-3) could pull away in the close-knit affair, as each squad held leads in at least one quarter of each half. SVHS managed to claim an 11-10 edge through eight minutes of play, but the guests answered with 15 points from Braxton Hardy as part of a 19-17 run that gave SGHS a slim 29-28 cushion at the break. The Vikings, however, put together a 16-14 run behind seven markers from Luke Leith, again allowing the hosts to claim a 44-43 lead headed into the ﬁnale. Hardy answered with 10 points — including a 5-of-6 effort from the charity stripe — as part of a 13-10 run down the stretch, which ultimately wrapped up the two-point triumph. The Red and Gold also claimed a season sweep of Symmes Valley after posting a 70-68 win during the season opener in Mercerville back on Nov. 30, 2018. The Rebels hit 17 total ﬁeld goals — including six 3-pointers — and also went 16-of-24 at the free throw line for 67 percent. Braxton Hardy paced the guests with a gamehigh 27 points, followed by Garrett Saunders with 16 points. Nick Hicks and Eli Ellis were next with four markers apiece, while C.J. Mayse and Austin Day respectively completed things with three and two points. The Vikings netted 23 total ﬁeld goals — including a single trifecta — and also made 7-of-16 charity tosses for 44 percent.

The scoring drought was all that ﬁfth-ranked Mount Vernon Nazarene needed to mount a late comeback and extend its winning streak. Rio Grande went scoreless for just over seven minutes, allowing the Cougars to turn a three-point deﬁcit into a 10-point lead and an eventual 68-62 victory, Saturday afternoon, in non-conference men’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Mount Vernon Nazarene, which had beaten the RedStorm at home by 29 points in early November, improved to 15-2 with a ﬁfth straight win overall and a ﬁfth straight win in the all-time series.

The RedStorm enjoyed their largest lead of the day after a bucket by junior Hadith Tiggs (Mayﬁeld Heights, OH) made it 54-45 with 11:41 left to play, but the team managed just two points over the next 9-1/2 minutes. Rio still clung to a 56-53 advantage after a jumper by freshman Gunner Short (Catlettsburg, KY) with 8:36 remaining in the contest, but by the time the RedStorm scored again on a layup by junior Cameron Sch- reiter (Mason, OH) with 1:23 left, the Cougars had reeled off 13 consecutive points and had built a double-digit cushion of their own. Rio got as close as 66-62 following a rebound and stickback by Tiggs with 15.5 seconds left, but go no closer. The RedStorm, who hit seven of their ﬁrst nine shots in the second half, went 3-for-13 from the ﬂoor and committed nine of their game total 14 turnovers over the ﬁnal 11-1/2 minutes after building the nine-point (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN ANNOUNCEMENTS LEGAL NOTICE REQUEST FOR BOND RELEASE PERMIT NUMBER D-0463 MINING YEARS; 1, 7, 12, AND 13 Date Issued November 28, 1984 CONSOL Mining Company LLC is requesting the following reclamation Phase Bond releases for acreage affected by the aforementioned coal mining and reclamation permit: A Phase 2 and Phase 3 Bond Release for 7.1 acres located in Fraction 36 of Wilkesville Township, Vinton County, Ohio.

Following the 69-67 setback, MHS head coach Jeremy Hill acknowledged the Rams’ strengths, but admitted his team didn’t do what it took in the closing minutes to win the game. “Whitehall’s a very good ball club, very athletic, very quick, can jump out of the gym and all that kind of stuff,” Hill said. “I don’t think Whitehall did anything to win the basketball game. I think our execution down the stretch, free throws, might have been the difference the game. Hat’s off to Whitehall for winning the game, but I think it was more about what we did not do, than what they did.” This marks the Marauders’ fourth loss in their last ﬁve outings, and Hill talked about challenging his team not to be satisﬁed with its recent results. “We just talked about it with the boys, playing hard and great effort, no one will ever fault them for that,” Hill said. “They play hard and they give great effort, but it’s time that we get a little bit angry about losing. The challenge was put out there, that they get a little bit bitter about losing, and start to have the attitude that we’re not going to let this happen again.” For the game, Meigs shot 22-of-54 (40.7 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 6-of-12 (50 percent) from three-point range.

TV14 �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, January 2, 2019 Daily Sentinel Bearcats rally past Hokies 35-31 ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Racing back and forth on a drenched ﬁeld, Cincinnati and Virginia Tech put up some lofty numbers as the rain came down in the Military Bowl. Michael Warren found his footing when it mattered most, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 1:29 left for the Bearcats, whose 35-31 victory Monday ended Virginia Tech’s run of 25 consecutive winning seasons. Warren ran for a career-high 166 yards, including an 8-yard burst up the middle to cap a frantic ﬁve-play, 64-yard drive in which he had 54 yards rushing. That was enough to decide a tight game that featured 905 yards in offense and seven lead changes. “The O-line did a great job of getting the push, especially at the end,” said Warren, voted the game’s MVP. “When you keep running the ball and wearing the other team down, they’re not going to want to see any more of that.” The Bearcats’ offense got a big assist from backup quarterback Hayden Moore, a senior who made 12 starts last year. After throwing only 26 passes in 2018, Moore entered in the ﬁrst quarter and completed 11 of 25 throws for 120 yards in addition to running for a 19-yard score. The victory gave Cincinnati (11-2) its third 11-win season in the 131-year history of the program following two straight 4-8 ﬁnishes. “We learned a lot from the failures from last year and even from the Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Cincinnati sophomore running back Michael Warren II (3) celebrates after scoring the eventual game-winning touchdown against Ohio on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2018, during the fourth quarter of a non-conference football contest at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. failures we had throughout January, February and March,” second-year coach Luke Fickell said. Playing in a bowl game for the 26th successive year — the longest current run in the nation — Virginia Tech needed a victory to avoid its ﬁrst losing season since 1992. Ryan Willis threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, but it wasn’t enough to put an upbeat ﬁnish on an unsatisfying season for the Hokies (6-7). “It stings. It’s disappointing,” said Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster, a member of the coaching staff since 1987. “I’m proud of the consistency and how we have played over the years. We’ve got a young group of men, and some of them need to realize what it takes to perform and play at this level.” A touchdown run by Moore put the Bearcats up 28-24 with 12:44 left, and two minutes later Willis ran it in from the 5 to give Virginia Tech its last lead. The Hokies had a chance to extend the margin with just under nine minutes left but failed on a fourthand-1 at the Cincinnati 3. “We had an opportunity to go up by two scores but we didn’t,” Foster said. “And then we didn’t respond defensively. That’s kind of how we’ve been this year, kind of up and down that way.” Ridder hurt his right leg after being tripped up out of the pocket during the Bearcats’ second series. The American Athletic Conference rookie of the year went 4 for 7 for 86 yards and a touchdown before leaving. Moore picked up the slack. “I knew this opportunity was coming sometime in the year,” Moore said. “I didn’t blink an eye. I just went and grabbed my helmet.” After a back-and-forth ﬁrst half that ended 14-all, Virginia Tech moved 69 yards to open the third quarter before Brian Johnson kicked a ﬁeld goal for a 17-14 lead. After Warren put the Bearcats in front with a 40-yard touchdown run, Willis threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Chris Cunningham to make it 24-21 heading into the fourth quarter. Wet ball The Bearcats fumbled three times and recovered all of them, including a touchdown by Kahlil Lewis on a ball Warren lost at the Virginia Tech 1. “It wasn’t the cleanest (win) obviously,” Fickell said. “Look at the weather.” The takeaway Cincinnati: The Bearcats are on the rise under Fickell, who can expect to accompany Cincinnati to more bowls in the years ahead. Virginia Tech: The Hokies were way too inconsistent in a season that ended on a very disappointing note. Virginia Tech was 13th in the country in September and now must rebound from its ﬁrst losing season in more than a quarter of a century. Lady Vikings knock off SG WILLOW WOOD, Ohio — Not even triple-A can help with these travel problems. The South Gallia girls basketball remained winless on the road this season following a 68-49 setback to host Symmes Valley on Friday night in a non-conference matchup in Lawrence County. The visiting Lady Rebels (2-9) found themselves in a 20-11 ﬁrst quarter hole and were ultimately never able to climb out as the Lady Vikings (6-2) continually added to their lead over the next two frames. SVHS followed with a 12-7 second period run that led to a 32-18 halftime advantage, then all but sealed the deal with a 20-13 third quarter surge that resulted in a 52-31 cushion headed into the ﬁnale. Kiley Stapleton scored seven points down the stretch as SGHS closed regulation with a small 18-16 spurt to wrap up the 19-point outcome. South Gallia netted 15 total ﬁeld goals — including three trifectas — and also went 16-of-36 at the free throw line for 44 percent. Jessica Rutt paced the Lady Rebels with 15 points, followed by Stapleton and Faith Poling with 13 points apiece. Amaya Howell and MaKayla Waugh were next with three markers each, while Christine Grifﬁth completed the tally with two points. Rachael Hayes paced Symmes Valley with a game-high 20 points, with Jenna Malone and Taylor Sells respectively added 14 and 10 points to the winning cause. SVHS netted 26 total ﬁeld goals — including ﬁve 3-pointers — and also went 11-of-22 at the charity stripe for 50 percent. The Lady Rebels return to action Thursday when they host Wahama in a TVC Hocking contest at 6 p.m. AP SPORTS BRIEFS McCaw joins Cavaliers after Warriors don’t match offer CLEVELAND (AP) — Former Warriors swingman Patrick McCaw is practicing with the Cavaliers, who signed him to a two-year, $6 million offer sheet last week.
