Meigs County sees record sales tax revenue
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — July
was a record month in
Meigs County.
The recent sales tax
revenue report provided
to the Commissioners
by the Auditor’s Ofﬁce
shows a total sales tax
revenue of $245,869.65
brought in during the
month of July — the
most of any month for
the county.
A comparison sheet
showing the past 11-anda-half years shows
amounts ranging from

a low of $73,545.67 in
April 2005. Amounts
ﬂuctuated between
$80,000 to roughly
$110,000 through 2010.
In June 2012, the
Meigs County Commissioners improved as 0.5
percent sales tax increase
which went into effect in
October 2012. The half
percent increase was the
ﬁrst in the county since
February 1987.
At the time of the 2012
increase, the commissioners stated that the
increase was necessary
as there was not sufﬁcient funds to operate

the county government.
In Sentinel reports at
the time of the increase,
Commissioner Tim Ihle
explained that the commissioners had looked at
every way to cut the budget, and while the bills
were getting paid there
was no money left for
capital improvements.
When the increase was
put in place the idea was
that if would bring in 50
percent more than it was
doing prior. That estimate has been surpassed
with the most recent
numbers.
In September 2012,

the month before the
increase, approximately
$115,000 was collected in sales tax. An
additional half percent
would have brought the
amount to approximately
$177,500.
That amount has been
surpassed in nearly every
month since January
2013.
The previous high
month came in January
2016 with an amount of
$239,277.24.
Ihle explained at
Thursday’s Commissioner meeting, when discussing the report, that

it is the sales tax revenue
that funds local governments and encouraged
local shopping as it goes
back into the county.
Ihle explained that even
if a vehicle is purchased
out of county the sales
tax can be applied to
the county where the
vehicle is titled, which
means the funds could
still come back to Meigs
County.
It is the increased
revenue from the sales
tax that has allowed the
county to have a general
fund carryover balance
at the end of the year,

as well as make capital
improvements along the
way such as the painting
of the courthouse. (See
related story on page 1).
The current sales tax
rate in Meigs County is
7.25 percent, with 1.5
percent going to the
county.
Rates across the state
range from 6.5 percent to
as high as 8 percent.
Athens and Gallia
counties both have a 7
percent sales tax, while
Jackson, Vinton and
Washington each have
a 7.25 percent sales tax
rate.

First day of fall arrives

Courthouse
receives fresh
coat of paint
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The Meigs County Courthouse is
getting a makeover.
A painting project is currently underway at the
Courthouse, where workers from Gheen’s Painting
can be seen applying a fresh coat of white paint to
the structure which houses many Meigs County
government ofﬁces.
When making the decision to re-paint the courthouse, the Meigs County Commissioners decided
to look to the past for inspiration, hoping to return
the courthouse to its original colors rather than
some of the other accent colors that have been
used through the decades.

Thursday may have been the first day of fall according to the calendar, but stepping outside in the afternoon felt more like summertime
with temperatures nearing 90 degrees along the river in Pomeroy. Despite the heat on the first official day of fall, the leaves will soon
be changing and fall decorations are beginning to pop up throughout the area, including the pumpkin man in front of Mitch’s Produce
and Greenhouse in Middleport.

NEWS FROM AROUND THE BUCKEYE STATE

2 charged with dealing
tranquilizer-laced heroin
CINCINNATI (AP) — Two Ohio residents have
been indicted on federal charges of distributing
heroin laced with carfentanil (kahr-FEHN’-tuh-nihl),
a substance used to tranquilize large animals that
authorities say is 10,000 times more powerful than
morphine.
Federal, state and local ofﬁcials say the sevencount indictment announced Wednesday alleges
31-year-old Phillip Watkins and 26-year-old Jeanetta
Crawford conspired in August to sell heroin laced
with carfentanil from their Cincinnati home. The
indictment also charges them with operating druginvolved premises. Authorities allege the drugs
caused serious physical harm, including nonfatal
overdoses.
Watkins and Crawford were arrested Sept. 15 and
have been ordered held without bond.
Watkins’ attorney Scott Rubenstein said Thursday
that it’s too early in the case to comment. Crawford’s
attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking
comment on her behalf.

Police: SUV hits,
kills 7-year-old
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ofﬁcials say a 7-yearold girl has died after she was hit by a sport utility
vehicle outside an apartment complex in Ohio’s capital city.
Columbus police Sgt. Brooke Wilson says the girl

was hit by an SUV around 7 p.m. Wednesday in the
parking lot of the Kingshill Court Apartments near
Interstate 71.
Ofﬁcials say she was taken to a hospital with lifethreatening injuries where she was declared dead.
The girl hasn’t been publicly identiﬁed.
The driver of the SUV, whose name wasn’t available, stayed at the scene and is cooperating with
authorities.
An investigation is ongoing.

Woman admits assisted
living home thefts
DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) — A central Ohio
woman has admitted under a plea deal that she stole
jewelry, watches and other items from residents of
senior living facilities over several years to support
her drug habit.
Susan Gwynne pleaded guilty on Wednesday in
Delaware to 46 of the 101 charges originally brought
against her, including burglary, theft and receiving
stolen property.
Gwynne told the judge she began stealing items
from patients’ rooms to support her cocaine habit
while working as a nurse at an assisted living facility
in 2004.
The 55-year-old Columbus woman says she was
later ﬁred, but continued to go to facilities in Delaware County and Franklin County in her uniform
and stealing from rooms.
Investigators found more than 3,000 items at her
home in March.
Gwynne’s sentencing is scheduled for November.

Ohio professor
wins ‘genius’ grant
OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — A linguist at a southwest
Ohio college has been named a MacArthur Fellow and will receive the so-called “genius grant” to
continue his work to restore use of an indigenous
language.
Miami University Professor Daryl Baldwin is
among the 2016 recipients of the fellowship awarded to individuals every year by the John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The 23 latest
recipients were named Thursday.
The fellowship comes with a $625,000 stipend.
Baldwin, 53, is working to restore the language of
his people— the Miami “Myaamia” Nation of Oklahoma —through his education and research as the
director of the Myaamia Center at Miami. He came
to Miami in 2001 to run the center, which is a joint
venture between the tribe and the Oxford school.
The language and cultural revitalization is necessary for preserving the tribe’s identity, Baldwin said.
“Every group wants to thrive and survive,” he
said. “The connections that Myaamia people have
through their shared history, kinship pride and
culture is what really helped us move forward as a
tribal community.”
Baldwin received the “surreal” phone call telling
him he won the MacArthur fellowship while walking on campus, WHIO-TV reported. According to
the foundation, fellows are “exceptionally creative
individuals with the potential for important work.”
Baldwin said it’s too soon to say how he’ll use the
award but said it will provide opportunities for new
areas of development at the center.

A HUNGER FOR MORE

With God,
things are always
as they seem
Currents of popular opinion sweep about us
like whitewater waves swirling down the narrow
ravine of everyday living.
They threaten to sweep us off our feet into
the wild seas of disillusionment and disappointment, though we strive to cling to things on
which we can count. When we ﬁnally ﬁnd the
“rock” of love and mercy that Jesus is to those
who believe in Him, we ﬁnally discover a ﬁrm
place to plant our feet, a solid rock on which we
stand.
But then calamities of one kind or another
come and they threaten to pry the ﬁngers of
faith loose even as a subtle, yet pernicious, erosion works at weakening our conﬁdence in the
words of hope that God has spoken to us.
Sadly, such waves seem appealing at times
and we ﬁnd it all too easy to give in to pressures and promptings. At times
we not only allow ourselves to
be carried along blindly by those
streams of wild thoughts and reckless ideas, but we revel in them, at
least until we are ﬁnally cast upon
the jagged rocks of brokenness and
ruin.
Thom
Even more sad are those occaMollohan sions when messages urging the
Contributing abandonment of truth come to us
Columnist
under the mask of Christian leadership. There are those who advocate
from the pulpit of popularity a
“gospel” that is not really a gospel: a good news
that is not truly “good news,” but is instead a
dangerous deception.
For example, there are books and blogs that
suggest that they are Christian, but pick up the
threads of spiritual relativism and basically tells
us that much of what we read in the Bible is
untrue or is, at the very least, greatly misunderstood. They asserts that there are many ways
to know God, be accepted by Him, and subsequently be ushered into an eternity of bliss.
They claim that there is no hell (or ﬁnal judgment of any kind), since hell is not commensurate with the authors’ and artists’ ideas of God.
These notions are not new ideas in circles
of “Christian” thinking. They are simply reintroduced, refurbished and repackaged to look
as though they are new messages for a new millennium.
One defender of this teaching claims that we
in the contemporary world cannot understand
what the Bible really means given its spiritual
sophistication and the alien nuances of the cultures and languages that existed at the time of
its writing.
Another writer who has advocated such
“ticklish teachings” wonders “what if?” What
if these notions are right? It seems to him that
the cloudy ambiguities in this line of thinking are as reliable (if not more so) as the basic
tenets of orthodox Christian teaching we have
heard since childhood. Unfortunately, tossing
“what if’s” into the mix of faith does not create
a new sense of wonder and awe, but ultimately
robs us of the assurance that the Bible is truly
trustworthy. “What if the Bible isn’t right about
hell?” “What if Jesus is A way to God but only
one way among many?” “What if people can be
‘saved’ after death?”
While such ideas may give us momentary (but
delusional) comfort when we are considering
the plight of lost loved ones, they eventually
steal from us that same comfort because the
consistency of the Bible’s message has been
compromised. Worse yet, in saying that teachings of the Word of God can’t be taken at face
value, we ﬁnd that the its overall message has
been rendered incoherent. Because “hell” has
been explained away, heaven is suddenly suspect. Because it is assumed that one does not
need to receive Christ in this lifetime, Jesus is
put off indeﬁnitely. Because other ways to God
than Jesus Christ have been introduced, Jesus
is demoted from “Savior and Lord” to merely
“teacher and friend”.
Let us not play games with God’s grace and
let us certainly not minimize the urgency of the
hour. Men and women today are as much in dire
spiritual straits as were the people of the ﬁrst
century who recognized their sinfulness and
the inevitable consequence of their unattended
condition.
Realizing that a God Who is just can only
confront sin with justice, dooming all of sin’s
partakers to an eternity apart from Him, “they
were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the
rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we
do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you
will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the
promise is for you and for your children and for
all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our
God calls to Himself” (Acts 2:37-39 ESV).
The needs of people are the same today as
they were then. Rich or poor, man or woman,
young or old, black or white, people need Jesus;
they need the power of His cross applied to
their lives which comes only through a personal
response of faith (which results in repentance
and obedience to His Word); and they need
Christians to proclaim the freedom found only
in the truth of the Gospel of Christ.

Grass growth is as sneaky as sin
Even though it has
not rained much lately, I
still have to often mow
the grass in my yard. I
mowed grass last Saturday, and this following
Tuesday had to mow
again.
After the Tuesday
mowing, I complained
to Terry how badly my
feet and legs hurt. She
replied with reprimand,
“Well, you did not have to
mow the grass. It has not
rained enough to make it
grow. The grass did not
need to be mowed.”
Typically, I do not mind
mowing the grass. I like
keeping my yard neat like
you do, too. But, this season has evoked a constant
and rigorous effort to
keep up with it all.
I replied, “Oh, yes it
did, too. It may not have
looked like it needed
mowed, but it did. It had
grown more than what it
may have looked like. The
mower bogged down two
times as I mowed the section below the driveway.
Grass growth is as sneaky
as sin!”
But, it is true. Like the
grass of a yard that needs
mowed often before you
realize it, sin can grow in
your life before you realize it, too. Consider the
words of Apostle James,
who wrote, “But, every

Isaiah, God says, “I, even

The reason God is able
to righteously deal in a

our sins is because of the
sacriﬁce of His Son, Jesus
Christ, on the Cross. The
blood He shed — and,
yes, it required Him
shedding blood — provides the means of the
forgiveness of sin. The
shedding of His blood
provides in God’s sight
remission of sin, which
amounts to release from
the guilt and penalty of
sin. Jesus Christ did for

for ourselves, but He also
enabled God to provide

GOD’S KIDS KORNER

Don’t place trust in wrongful things
Have you ever wished
you could trade places
with someone? If you
could trade places with
anyone you want, who
would you choose?
Maybe a movie star or
famous athlete? Maybe
you’d choose someone
from your favorite band
or a homeless person
that begs by the side of
the road?
“Wait a minute,” you
are probably thinking.
“Who would dream of
changing places with a
homeless person who
begs beside the road?”
Well, it might not be
what a person would
wish for, but that is
exactly what one person
got in our Bible lesson
today. It is the story of
the rich man and Lazarus
from Luke 16: 19-31.
There once was a rich
man, expensively dressed
in clothes of the latest
fashion. He lived in a
beautiful house and ate
the best food. A poor

on the other hand, didn’t

He sure didn’t need God.
He had everything that
he needed. At least, that
is what he thought.
There is an important
lesson to be learned
from the story of the rich
man and Lazarus. You
and I choose where we
will place our trust. We
can trust in God, or we
can trust in ourselves. If
we put our trust in the
wrong thing, we will ﬁnd
ourselves wishing that
we could trade places.
Let’s say a prayer
together. Father, we trust
in Your unfailing love;
our hearts rejoice in Your
salvation. Please help us
to always believe in You
and help others who are
less fortunate that we
are. In Jesus’ name we
pray. Amen.

Are we building up or tearing down?
One of the values of the
wonderful book of Proverbs is that the inspired
wisdom within often hits
quite close to home. We
do well to reﬂect upon
the sayings and make personal application to self.
Consider, if you will,
the rather pointed observation of Proverbs 14:1:
“Every wise woman
builds up her home, but a
foolish one tears it down
with her own hands.”
(CJB)
The proverb is not
speaking about the building or destroying of a
physical structure, but
to the building up of a
family. A wise woman
makes decisions which
make her family stronger,
more loving, more united
and better than it otherwise would have been.

JEFFERSON, Ohio (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy
has been indicted on charges he beat two all-terrain
vehicle riders who prosecutors say led authorities on
a chase in northeast Ohio.
Ashtabula County prosecutors said Wednesday
that Sgt. James Truckey was indicted Wednesday on
charges including felonious assault, records tampering and dereliction of duty. Prosecutors say the driver
of the ATV tried to hit Truckey during the chase in
Jefferson on Sept. 11 and that Truckey attacked both
riders once the chase ended and they were in custody.

Meigs completes
perfect TVC-Ohio run
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

GLOUSTER, Ohio — Simply put, the Meigs
High School golf team wasn’t just the outright
champions of the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division for 2016.
The Marauders were, in a single solitary word,
perfect.
That’s because the Marauders made it seven
victories in seven matches, winning the seventh
— and ﬁnal — TVC-Ohio match on Wednesday at
Forest Hills Golf Course in Glouster.
However, it was the closest any team has been
to the Marauders in all seven contests.
The Athens Bulldogs, by a mere two strokes,
were runner-up to Meigs on Wednesday — 168170.
In a close competition for third thru ﬁfth-place,
Alexander shot 183, Wellston 185 and Vinton
County 187.
Nelsonville-York and River Valley, with only
three golfers apiece at Forest Hills, did not post a
team score.
Nelsonville-York was the host school for the
match, as all seven league schools host one match
apiece throughout the season.
Meigs, which won its ﬁfth division championship in ﬁve years with only the title two years
ago being shared with Vinton County, ofﬁcially
clinched the outright crown a week ago by winning the sixth match.
The Marauders went a perfect 42-0 in the division — as a result of winning all seven matches
with each individual triumph counting as a 6-0
mark in the league standings.
Athens ﬁnished second at 33-9, followed by
Alexander at 28-14.
Last season’s champion — Vinton County —
ﬁnished fourth at 20-22, followed by Wellston at
17-25.

Lancers sweep Lady Raiders
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

BIDWELL, Ohio — The last time,
it took four games.
This time, the Federal Hocking
Lancers needed only three.
The visiting Lancers, in completing the season sweep, swept host
River Valley 25-13, 25-18 and 25-18
on Wednesday night in a non-league
volleyball match.
With the loss, which was River
Valley’s fourth in a row in only three
games, the Lady Raiders fell to 2-11
— while Federal Hocking improved
to 5-7.
A month ago, the Lancers topped
the Lady Raiders in four games at
McInturf Gymnasium in Stewart —
in only River Valley’s second tilt of
the entire season.
Wednesday was also the second
contest in a row in which Valerie
Tabor was serving as head coach for
the Lady Raiders.
In game one, Federal Hocking

Eagles

never trailed, building several threepoint leads before River Valley forged
a 10-10 tie.
But the Lancers scored the next
ﬁve points, and opened up a 20-13
advantage — after scoring another
ﬁve consecutive points when the
match stood close at 15-12.
Finally, ﬁve more consecutive
points — including kills by Jaylen
Rogers, Makayla Bowen and Paige
Watkins — ended game one with the
Lancers winning 25-13.
The Raiders then led 3-1 in the
second set, but another ﬁve straight
Lancer points put FHHS ahead and it
never looked back.
Once again, the Lancers maintained leads of three-to-six points,
eventually opening up a cushion of
20-12.
The two teams traded points
throughout the remainder of the
game, as Federal Hocking’s Hannah
Dunfee made it 25-18 with another
hard kill.
In the third game, River Valley

The Raiders tied the set for the
third and ﬁnal time at 6-6, and were
within 10-9 after four straight by the
Lancers, but Federal Hocking had
nine of the next 11 points to build its
largest lead of the game.
From there, and once again, the
two teams traded points — as River
Valley got no closer than four points
three times at 19-15, 20-16 and 21-17.
The Maroon and Gold clinched the
match on an RVHS net violation.
