POMEROY — A Pomeroy man remains jailed on a $250,000 bond after pleading innocent to charges stemming from the Aug. 4 crash deaths of two people. Austin R. Halfhill, 23, of Pomeroy, appeared in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday morning to be arraigned on the nine count indictment filed against him on Tuesday. Halfhill is charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, felonies of the first degree; two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, felonies of the second degree; two counts of vehicular manslaughter, misdemeanors of the first degree; and three counts of operating a vehicle while under the influence, misdemeanors of the first degree. Halfhill is alleged to have been the driver of a vehicle which went left of center and struck a motorcycle driven by John McElfresh, 62, of Glouster on Aug. 4 on State Route 7 near Chester. McElfresh was killed in the crash, as was passenger Brenda Suttle, 59, of Crooksville, who’s body was found the day after the crash. According to a statement from Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley following the indictment on Tuesday, “Halfhill is alleged to have presented with indicia of being under the influence of a control substance after the crash and is alleged to have admitted using methamphetamine and buprenorphine before the crash.

Ryan Smith, to be its next President, according to the Chairman of the Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees. Chairman of the Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees Smith Paul Reed explained the community college board and the University of Rio Grande Board of Trustees have worked together in the process of hiring a new president for the community college and university. Reed acknowledged that in the past the board have not always worked well with one another, but that has not been the case with this. Details of the contract are currently being finalized and expected to be approved in the near future. Reed said that University Board Chairman Bob Foster had a conversation with Smith previously, with Foster then approaching Reed with Smith as a possible candidate for the position. Following the conversation with Foster, Reed said he knew they had a “strong, dynamic person” in Smith as a possible candidate. The community college board then appointed three people to represent the board in the interview process, as did the university board. Reed said that after interviewing Smith they felt there was no need to go further with the search. “He (Smith) shared his vision for the community college with certificate programs, two year degrees and bringing lots of ideas to the community college,” said Reed. “He had a lot of ideas to enhance the community college experience for the four-county area.” Rio Grande Community College has branch campuses in Meigs, Vinton and Jackson counties, in addition to the main campus in Gallia County. Reed added that the university board also was impressed with what Smith could offer to help See RIO | 5 INDEX Obituary: 2 Business: 3 Opinion: 4 News: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Weather: 10 Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Flags lined the streets of Pomeroy on Wednesday, while American Flags at many buildings were flown at half-staff to mark the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Moody. Mopey. Mundane. Do you sing the Monday blues? Many famous bands have maligned or magnified Monday through song, from Fleetwood Mac, The Mamas & The Papas, to the Carpenters. “Every other day of the week is fine, yeah / But whenever Monday comes you can find me cryin’ all of the time.” Oldsters, do you remember “Monday Monday?” I do. “Maniac Monday” by Melissa The Bangles describes the first day Martin of the week as chaotic. I can relate. Contributing “It’s just another manic Monday / columnist Wish it were Sunday / Because that’s my fun day / My I-don’t-have-to-run day.” Do you get Sunday night dread? Eighty percent of professionals reported they’ve felt “Sunday Scaries” due to the work week ahead, a 2018 LinkedIn Survey found. A survey of 1,000 professionals in the U.S. revealed what makes them feel down and distressed on Sundays: workload worry, balancing work and personal life, unfinished tasks from the prior week, the work commute. Dear Monday: Go away and come back on Friday. If we voted and got rid of Mondays, would we hate on Tuesdays? Probably. Are Monday-haters overworked, overwhelmed, or over the hill? Are Monday-haters party people, pooped-out persons, or panicked peeps? Would Monday-haters rather play than produce? Individuals diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder anticipate problems on Monday. They may fear a bullying boss, conflict with coworkers, or grapevine gossip. Some workplace environments are toxic. But its not Monday’s fault. Corralling the kids and the dog on Monday morning after a weekend of fun and freedom may frazzle and frustrate parents. Does your family experience Monday morning meltdowns? A battle for the bathroom. A hectic hunt for homework. A scramble for both shoes. What makes a melancholy Monday? No coffee in the container—and no creamer. No clean underwear. A pile of dog doody on the carpet. A sink of dirty dishes. Someone ate the last doughnut. Lint and dog-hair on black pants. Fifty socks without a single match. A gas tank on empty. How do I cope with maniac Mondays? A cinnamon vanilla bagel and a hazelnut coffee. Wait— that’s how I cope with Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I stash extra lint-rollers around the house to get rid of dog-hair. I hide the last doughnut on Sunday night. Humans are biased by their own beliefs. If we expect Mondays to be lousy—they will be lousy. Show poor Monday some love. Dear Monday: I’m sorry for hating on you. You are brave for being the first day of the week.

THEIR VIEW Staying silent doesn’t work I heard about National Suicide Prevention Week for the first time almost exactly four years ago this week. I was barely two weeks into my first semester at university, and it was already everything I’d dreamed college would be: I had a group of friends who I felt like I had known forever, and we went to parties with English majors and had movie nights in the dorm room I shared with the best roommate I could have asked for. My roommate was the one who told me about National Suicide Prevention Week and helped me sign up for the free mental health counseling service our school offered. On Sept. 10, 2015, my roommate and I took a vow of silence for World Suicide Prevention Day — which was also during National Suicide Prevention Week. The vow of silence was “in remembrance of those who have taken their own lives and to raise awareness for the cause.” I skipped my morning talk about your class because of mental health, and a panic attack, it’s so easy to get and we spent the caught in your own day writing notes mind.

I just want to go back and tell us both that there’s no rush, that it’s OK to take time to care for yourself, that being hospitalized might set you back in your classes, but failing a few classes is so much better than being dead. The last thing I actually said to her was “I love you,” and while I’m so grateful for that, I still just want her to be alive. Staying silent doesn’t work. If you’re having suicidal thoughts and need to talk, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text “HOME” to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741. If you think you’re in danger of harming yourself, please go to the emergency room to be evaluated. McKenzie Caldwell is a reporter at The Times-Gazette, a publication of AIM Media Midwest.

The surprise White House announcement could remake the multibillion-dollar vaping industry, which has been driven by sales of flavored nicotine formulas such as “grape slushie” and “strawberry cotton candy.” The Food and Drug Administration will develop guidelines to remove from the market all e-cigarette flavors except tobacco, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told reporters during an Oval Office appearance with the president, first lady Melania Trump and the acting FDA commissioner, Ned Sharpless. Trump, whose son Barron is 13 years old, said vaping has become such a problem that he wants parents to be aware of what’s happening. “We Courtesy photo Wilcoxen Funeral Home is the first business to support the 2019 Law Enforcement Appreciation Banquet.

Melania Trump recently tweeted her concerns over the combination of children and vaping, and at the meeting, the president said, “I mean, she’s got a son — together — that is a beautiful, young man, and she feels very, very strongly about it.” Trump’s first public comments on vaping come as health authorities investigate hundreds of breathing illnesses reported in people who have used e-cigarettes and other vaping devices. No single device, ingredient or additive has been identified, though many cases involve marijuana vaping. The restrictions announced by Trump officials would only apply to nicotine vaping products, which are regulated by the FDA. The FDA has had the authority to ban vaping flavors since 2016, but has previously resisted calls to take that step. Agency officials instead said they were studying if flavors could help smokers quit traditional cigarettes. But parents, teachers and health advocates have increasingly called for a crackdown on flavors , arguing that they are overwhelmingly to blame for a recent surge in underage vaping by U.S. teens, particularly with small, discrete devices such as Juul’s. and one for all mentality again, unity and pride filled us all.” “Many heroes came From page 1 out of Sept. 11, 2001, and no matter where you almost 3,000 people were killed, but since are, whether you’re at your business, home, or then, a lot of people don’t know this, over in school, say a prayer 2,000 people have died for them.

JACKSON, Ohio — Up two with one to go. Alexander is one round away from securing the 2019 championship after posting a 10-stroke victory over the field on Tuesday night during the sixth-ofseven Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division golf match held at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County. The Spartans (34-2) own a two-win advantage in the season standings headed into the final league matchup on Monday at Athens. Alexander — winners of four of the six matches thus far — posted a final winning tally of 174. Athens (32-4) still sits in the runner-up spot after a second place finish on Tuesday night with a 184, followed by Meigs (22-14) and Wellston (20-16) with respective team efforts of 189 and 210. Vinton County (12-24) was fifth on the day with a 222 and River Valley (6-30) was sixth with a 248. Nelsonville-York (0-36) ended up last after not any competitors at the event. Whit Byrd of Alexander won medalist honors with a 4-over par round of 38. Ben Pratt of Athens was the overall runner-up with a 43. Bobby Musser and Austin Mahr both paced the Marauders with identical rounds of 44, with Gus Kennedy and Cole Arnott completing the team tally with respective efforts of 50 and 51. Dawson Justice and Zack King also posted matching rounds of 52 for the Maroon and Gold. Dalton Mershon paced the Raiders with a 58 and Blaine Cline was next with a 62. Jordan Lambert and Joel Horner completed the team score with matching rounds of 64. Alex Euton and Scott Yost also fired respective rounds of 67 and 74 for the Silver and Black. Timothy Stanley led Wellston with a 44, while Brock Hamon paced the host Vikings with a 52. Athens is the only team that can catch the Spartans in the league standings headed into the final round. The Bulldogs need to finish two spots ahead of Alexander to claim a share of the championship, which means they need another league program to also beat the Spartans next week at Athens Country Club.

No medal. No more winning streak. The U.S. reign atop international basketball has ended — this time, thwarted by France at the World Cup. For the first time since 2006, the U.S. sent NBA players to a major international tournament and won’t win gold. Evan Fournier scored 22 points, Rudy Gobert had 21 points and 16 rebounds and France beat the U.S. 89-79 in the World Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday, rallying from a sevenpoint fourth-quarter deficit to pull off the upset. “Any loss hurts,” U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said. “And in this situation, it hurts more. But life goes on. This is very important and we would have loved to have won … but we’re all grown, we all have families and lives and life goes on.” The U.S. had won 58 consecutive tournament games in FIBA and Olympic competition, starting with the bronze-medal game at the 2006 world championships and continuing through every FIBA Americas, World Cup and Olympics event since. It was bidding to become the first nation to win three consecutive World Cups, after winning three straight Olympic golds in that span. The best the Americans can do now in China is finish fifth, and they’re assured of their worst finish in a big tournament with NBA players since placing sixth at the 2002 world championships. They’re going home with a berth in the 2020 Olympics secured but no medal. Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points for the U.S., all of them coming in the first three quarters.

The Meigs girls golf team posted the top three individual scores and claimed a five-stroke victory over visiting Marietta on Tuesday night during a nonconference dual at Meigs Golf Course. The Lady Marauders found themselves in a tightly-contested battle over the course of nine holes, with the Lady Tigers managing to keep pace with the hosts as the night progressed. In fact, all four of Marietta’s counting scores were better than the fourth-place scorer from Meigs — but the extra cushion provided by the first three scores proved to make all the difference. Olivia Haggy paced Meigs with a medalist round of 10-over par 44, with the duo of Caitlin Cotterill and Kylee Robinson sharing runner-up honors with matching efforts of 46.

The Lady Marauders (2-7) had their best set of the night in the first, but fell by a 25-15 count after allowing the first five points, as well as the last five. The Lady Spartans longest run of the second was just five points, but the guests moved ahead 2-0 in the match with a 25-14 win. Alexander saved its best for last, sealing the sweep with a 25-8 victory. Baylee Tracy led the Lady Marauders with four service points. Maci Hood and Kylee Mitch were next with three points each, followed by Bre Zirkle and Hannah Durst with a point apiece. These teams are slated to meet again on Sept. 26 in Athens County.

Scrutiny turns to co-workers of accused OSU doctor COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former supervisors and colleagues who weren’t interviewed in the investigation about widespread sexual abuse by an Ohio State University team doctor now face questioning under oath and scrutiny from a medical board. The issue: Who knew about or suspected Richard Strauss’ misconduct during his tenure, and did they respond properly? Strauss died in 2005, so answers must come from decades-old records, the 300-plus accusers and others who knew him. The State Medical Board of Ohio is reviewing whether any licensed doctors violated a duty to report concerns (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN about Strauss. If so, they could face discipline from the board, though the window for criminal prosecution of that has passed. Meanwhile, a federal judge said men suing the university over Strauss’ misconduct can pursue sworn statements from ex-employees who didn’t cooperate with the investigation conducted for Ohio State by the law firm Perkins Coie. “These are highly significant witnesses with substantial knowledge about Dr. Strauss and OSU’s response to Dr. Strauss, and we look forward to getting their testimony under oath as we seek justice for OSU survivors,” said Ilann Maazel, an attorney for some of the accusers.
