Hope fades for GM plant workers
By John Seewer,
Tom Krisher
and Jonathan Mattise
Associated Press

TOLEDO, Ohio — In
the months since General
Motors signaled the closing of its huge car plant
in Lordstown, Ohio,
Tammy Hurst put off setting a wedding date and
watched her ﬁance, two
sisters, a brother and a
nephew leave their hometowns for new jobs.
All ﬁve transferred to
GM plants in Kentucky,
Missouri and Tennessee, upending her family
and their weekly picnics,
birthday parties and
shopping outings.
“We’ve always been
within 20 minutes of each
other, and now we’re all
scattered everywhere,”
said Hurst, who is waiting to see if her ﬁance
settles into his new job in
Kentucky before joining
him.
As for the wedding,
that, too, will have to
wait “until we ﬁgure out
this mess.”
Among the thousands
of former Lordstown
assembly plant workers
now spread across GM
factories in seven states,
many were hoping that
the automaker, facing
pressure from President
Donald Trump, would
agree during contract
talks to revive production
that ended in March and
rescue their old jobs.
But that hope is dwindling.
Instead, GM wants
to sell the plant to a
ﬂedgling electric vehicle
maker and build an
electric vehicle battery
factory that would probably be run by a GM joint

Mark Humphrey | AP

General Motors workers Matt Himes and Tammy Hudak grew up in the shadow of the 6 million-squarefoot GM plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and went to work there. Now they are among those who were
uprooted to work at GM’s facility in Spring Hill, Tenn.

venture. The battery plant
proposal and the fate of
the Lordstown plant are
playing out amid negotiations aimed at ending the
strike by 49,000 members
of the United Auto Workers that has paralyzed
GM auto production
nationwide for nearly two
weeks.
How many UAW jobs
the company would need
for the battery plant
hasn’t been disclosed,
but it’s likely to be a few
hundred at the start and
won’t ever come close to
the 4,500 who worked at
Lordstown making the
Chevrolet Cruze compact
car just two years ago.
The wages would be
much lower, too — as
much as 50% below the
$30-an-hour top pay now
made by UAW production
workers.
As for the electric
vehicle plant, which
would be run by a venture
led by a company called
Workhorse, it is unclear

how many jobs would be
created, how much they
would pay and whether
the project will even get
off the ground .
All of this means it’s
doubtful any of the workers who have left Lordstown would consider
coming back.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s
going to happen,” said
Tommy Wolikow, who
transferred to a GM factory in Flint, Michigan,
but held off on buying a
home because he hoped
he could return to Ohio,
where his 11-year-old
daughter lives. “That’s
home, and it’ll always be
home as long as my family is there.”
Of the workers who
once staffed the plant
around the clock, about
3,400 took GM up on
transferring to factories
around the country, some
as far away as Arlington,
Texas, said Dave Green,
former president of the
UAW local in Lordstown.

whistleblower sent his

under heavy pressure
from House Democrats.

was keeping up his

unnamed “White House

warning from Pelosi
against retaliation.
Late Thursday,
Trump denounced
people who might have

engaged in treason, an
act punishable by death.
Then on Friday, he said
the person was “sounding more and more like

He also alleged without evidence that information in the complaint
has been “proved to be

Tammy Hudak and

6-million-square-foot
(560,000-square-meter)
plant that deﬁned Lordstown for generations, are
among those who pulled
up roots to work at GM in
Spring Hill, Tennessee.
Both are still waiting
for the rest of their families to join them. Hudak
shed tears talking about
being separated from her
loved ones, including a
son who is ﬁnishing high
school. Himes’ wife is still
trying to sell their house,
and he already missed
key moments of his son’s
senior year.
“We’ll learn to adjust
as the months go on and
everything, but it will
never be the same,” said
Hudak, whose husband
joined her in Tennessee.

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

World Rabies Day
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC),
there are about 5,000
cases of animal rabies
reported annually in the
United States (US); however, more than 90% of
those cases are in wildlife.
In Ohio the number
bats and raccoons that
tested positive for rabies
has been between 40 and
50 in recent years. Prior
to 1960, the occurrence of
rabies in dogs happened
quite frequently, but since
then it has practically
disappeared in the US.
This is likely due to the
state’s adoption of rabies
vaccination requirements
for dogs and rabies awareness programs distributed
by veterinarians, public
health organizations and
the agricultural community. In other countries,
the efforts to eliminate
rabies in dogs have NOT

unknown entrepreneurs
quickly gain access to
the highest levels of

It is not yet clear
when the two men ﬁrst
met Giuliani, President Trump’s personal
attorney. But earlier
this year, according
to Ukrainian media
reports, Parnas and
Fruman were spotted
in Kyiv, where they
were frequent visitors
to then-Prosecutor
General Yuri Lutsenko,
who sought to portray
himself as an uncompromising ﬁghter against
corruption.
Multiple Ukrainian media outlets later
named Parnas and Fruman as helping arrange
a January meeting in
New York between Lutsenko and Giuliani, as
well as other meetings
with key government
ofﬁcials.
Giuliani’s efforts to
launch a Ukrainian
corruption probe into
the Biden and his son’s
dealings with a Ukrainian energy company —
a request later echoed
by Trump in a July 25
call with Ukrainian
President Volodymyr
Zelensky — are at the
heart of a burgeoning
congressional impeachment inquiry.
A whistleblower complaint by an unnamed
intelligence ofﬁcial
released this week
makes reference to
“associates” of Giuliani
in Ukraine who were
attempting to make
contact with Zelensky’s
team, though it’s not
clear that refers to Parnas and Fruman. That
could put the two men
squarely in the middle
of the investigation
into Giuliani’s activities.

ESSEX JUNCTION,
Vt. — Vermont’s governor became the
ﬁrst Republican chief
executive to support an
impeachment inquiry
against President Donald
Trump but cautioned
that he wants to know
more before any further
actions are taken.
Gov. Phil Scott said at
a news conference Thursday that he wasn’t surprised by the news that
Trump repeatedly urged
Ukraine’s president to
“look into” Democratic
presidential candidate
Joe Biden because he’s
“watched him over the
years.”
He wants Congress to
see the complete whistleblower allegations.
“I think the inquiry
is important, yes, and
where it leads from here
is going to be driven by
the facts that are established,” Scott said.
Scott’s remarks are
one of the few signs of
Republican discomfort
with the revelations.
Most Republicans elected
ofﬁcials have defended
Trump, casting the controversy as ginned-up by
Democrats — although
the initial concerns were
raised by an anonymous
whistleblower — or
describing it as much ado
about nothing.
Scott, a popular moderate Republican in his second term in a deeply blue

state, has broken from
his party before. He has
been a frequent Trump
critic and repeatedly
called for an end to the
divisiveness in American
politics. In July, Scott he
said felt Trump’s comments about four Democratic congresswomen
of color were racist and
not beﬁtting for a world
leader.
A year ago, Scott was
one of a handful of GOP
governors who urged
the U.S. Senate to delay
a conﬁrmation vote on
then-Supreme Court
nominee Brett Kavanaugh to allow time for an
investigation into sexual
misconduct allegations.
Scott has also opposed
plans by the Trump
administration to scale
back climate change
emissions, worked
against a now-resolved
trade dispute with Canada and has criticized
Trump’s immigration
policy.
Massachusetts Gov.
Charlie Baker, another
moderate Republican
who leads a state with a
Democratic-controlled
legislature, echoed
Scott’s discomfort.
“Based on the stuff
that I’ve read it’s a deeply
disturbing situation
and circumstance and I
think the proper role and
responsibility for Congress at this point is to
investigate it and get to
the bottom of it,” Baker
said while promoting
new housing production,

although he cautioned
that he wasn’t familiar
with “all of the written
materials and allegations
that are out there so far.”
Other moderate Republican governors have
yet to weigh in on an
impeachment inquiry.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine was a U.S. senator
during impeachment proceedings against former
Democratic President Bill
Clinton in 1999 and he
presided over the deposition of Monica Lewinsky.
When asked by reporters

what his stance on an
impeachment inquiry is,
he said he withheld judgment then, and he’s withholding judgment now.
“We have to wait until
all the evidence is in,”
said DeWine, who is
among statewide ofﬁcials
now co-chairing Trump’s
reelection campaign.
He ultimately voted
guilty on both charges
against Clinton.
Maryland Gov. Larry
Hogan, another moderate
GOP governor, has yet to
comment.

THEIR VIEW

Better never
than late?
My daughters, hard up for entertainment, took
an impromptu journey through their baby books.
It was the night the eldest had ofﬁcially turned
18 and was (apparently) already nostalgic for her
youth. (Man, old age hits earlier and earlier these
days.) Of course, the youngest turned 16 a month
earlier and had to join in on the fun. The fun taking a sharp turn as the girls noted their mother’s
illegible handwriting and one too many unanswered questions.
If you want to feel the spoon-to-the-heart that is
a parental failure, watch your child read through
their baby books. The apples of my loins noted my
multiple failures in legible cursive
and inability to answer every milestone question.
In my defense, I think I did a
pretty good job. Yes, my handwriting
leaves much to be desired. The bank
teller always questions my deposit
slip. Is that your signature or are you

lengthy paragraphs akin to great classics such as
Moby Dick and Go the [You know what] to Sleep
become a handful of words like “hostage situation,
send help” and “Is it too late to change my mind?”
Still, as a mom, and as moms are wanton to do,
I felt guilty and to make up for it, I set about ﬁlling in all those unanswered questions. I will never
sleep again with those blank milestones hanging
over my head. After all, my daughters will be in
charge of pulling the plug on me someday. I can
hear the conversation now …
Child 1: “Well, what should we do?”
Child 2: “I don’t know. She wasn’t too bad.”
Child 1: “Yes, but she didn’t answer all the questions in the baby books. Remember?”
Child 2: “Oh, right. WHAT a slacker!”
Child 1: “We should just pull it already.”
Child 2: “I agree. We don’t want to be like her
and not ﬁnish anything.”
Better late than never, I say, while cracking
open the ﬁrst milestone book of the eldest child to
answer the ﬁrst unanswered question.
“My ﬁrst food was …”
OK, so this feels like a trap. Free-range kids
were all the rage around the eldest’s birth. Parents
near and far were throwing open their back doors,
drop-kicking their youth out the door, and giving
a quick wave. “Good luck, the apple of my loins!”
This decision meant eating what was immediately
available and for our family that would have been
grass.
Now, I can understand the simplicity of freerange and grass, but can’t imagine tackling all
the grass stains. Let’s skip this one because when
it comes to motherhood, mom-shaming follows
and I’m about to be slaughtered. One cannot be
outside the loop of whatever happens to be all
the rage in a ﬂeeting moment. It means the next
two questions are going to be left blank, too. “My
favorite activity was …” coupled with “My favorite
place to visit …” The answers are running and the
mall. You loved to run and once did so at the mall.
Yes, I lost my child at the mall but shouldn’t that
work into the whole free-range thing?
Keep moving forward, they say and so we shall.
“Your ﬁrst movie was …”
I honestly do not recall. I did a quick Google
search, and the movie Hannibal came out that
year. What memories! I can picture it now. Everyone in the theater looking at you, the star attraction. They don’t say anything because, for starters,
mom-shaming is a social media thing. Second,
they are speechless and overwhelmed by the beauty of a six-week-old taking in her ﬁrst movie.
“My favorite book was …”
This baby book is starting to age me. I can’t
remember. If I think back to 18 years ago, I recall,
Under the Skin. It only makes sense as wanton to
raise feminists. What female child doesn’t want
to hear a story about aliens farm factoring males,
and there are only so many hours in the day. Two
birds, one stone. Best life hack ever!
Of course, not wanting to be a slacker, I opened
the second child’s baby book, and the questions
got a little personal. I mean, how did mommy
break the news to daddy? Well, as an introvert and
not much of a conversationalist I blamed it on gas
right up until labor.
“We named you after …”
I’m sorry to say. We used a cootie catcher to ﬁgure that one out.
Perhaps this exercise is more along the lines of
better never than late. The funny thing about it,
it won’t matter how I answer the questions. No
one can read my handwriting. They’ll assume it is
my secret manifesto and all will be right with the
world once they pull the plug.

What Ohioans told me this summer
At the end of each
summer, Congress typically adjourns, letting me
spend more time in
Ohio instead of commuting back and forth to
Washington every week.
I love it because I get
more time to travel the
state and meet people
in every corner of Ohio.
This summer was no
exception. I traveled over
4,000 miles in my pickup
truck and had 75 meetings with farmers, small
business owners, factory
workers, police ofﬁcers,
drug counselors, recovering addicts and so many
others in 39 different
counties throughout the
state.
It was a great opportunity to learn more about
what’s on Ohioans’ minds
and how Washington can
help. I was also able to
see ﬁrsthand how some
of the laws I’ve passed
are working to address
the opioid epidemic and
expand workforce training, and how our new
legislative efforts could
further help.
In 2017, when I began
my second term representing Ohio in the Senate, I set a goal to visit all
88 counties in our state
during the six-year term.
This summer, I met that
goal, a few years ahead of
schedule.
In a number of counties, I met with small
business owners who

to death in an abandoned Cleveland
home. The Cuyahoga County Medical

said earlier Friday that 19-year-old
Aiyanna Quitman, of Euclid, had been
identiﬁed by X-ray comparisons.
Twenty-year-old Dejuan Willis, of
Cleveland, and 23-year-old Christopher Monroe, of Cleveland, were
identiﬁed earlier through their ﬁngerprints. Their decaying bodies were
discovered last Saturday in a bedroom
on the third ﬂoor of the boarded-up
home. The Medical Examiner’s Ofﬁce
said all four died from multiple gunshot wounds. It ruled their deaths as
homicides.

term limits next year.
In a response letter, current Speaker
Larry Householder called it “unfortunate” the two competed. He pledged
to work with Ryan in the future.
The two Republicans fought a
months-long battle for the House
speakership. Caucus members chose
Smith last session to succeed Speaker

Fired Dallas police officer Amber Guyger becomes emotional as
she testifies in her murder trial Friday in Dallas. Guyger is accused
of shooting and killing Botham Jean, an unarmed 26-year-old
neighbor in his own apartment last year. She told police she
thought his apartment was her own and that he was an intruder.

“Let me see your

told the man, but she
said she couldn’t see
his hands and he began
coming toward her at a
“fast-paced” walk. She
said he yelled, “Hey!
Hey! Hey!” right before
she opened ﬁre.
“I was scared he was
going to kill me,” she
said under questioning
by her lawyers, who
called her as their ﬁrst
witness on the trial’s
ﬁfth day. She said she

intended to kill him
when she pulled the trigger because that’s what
she had been trained to
do as a police ofﬁcer.
When prosecutors
asked why she didn’t
back away and radio for
help once she suspected
a break-in, Guyger
said that entering the
apartment “was the
only option that went
through my head.”
The shooting attracted
widespread attention
because of the strange
circumstances and also
because it was one in a
string of shootings of
unarmed black men by
white police ofﬁcers.

DALLAS — A Dallas
police ofﬁcer broke her
silence Friday about the
night she killed a young
accountant who lived
in the apartment right
above her, telling jurors
that she has to live with
the guilt every day and
that she wished their
roles were reversed.
Amber Guyger, who
is charged with murder, tearfully said she
was sorry about killing
26-year-old Botham Jean
last September, explaining that she mistook his
fourth-ﬂoor apartment
for her own right below
it on the third ﬂoor of
their building.
“I hate that I have to
live with this every single day of my life and I
ask God for forgiveness,
and I hate myself every
single day,” Guyger, 31,
told the packed courtroom.
She said she wished
“he was the one with the
gun” and had killed her.
“I never wanted to take
an innocent person’s life.
And I’m so sorry. This is
not about hate. It’s about
being scared that night,”
she said.
Guyger, who had
never spoken publicly
about the shooting until
she took the witness
stand, testiﬁed that
upon returning home
in-uniform after a long
shift that night, she
put her key into what
she thought was her
door lock and the door
opened because it hadn’t
been fully closed. Fearing it was a break-in, she

Writer’s Guild to welcome Simon
By April Pyles

Simon’s upcoming visit,
members of the Guild
turned their attention
to one of their newest
members, Letha Jones.
Jones has received
education in journalism
and creative writing, as
well as certiﬁcation in
counseling, all of which
help her write the
uplifting articles that
appear in Ohio Valley
Publishing newspapers.
She shared one of her
columns entitled “The
Box.”
Our lives, she writes,
are representative of
moving day, and for
that we need to have
a sturdy box in which
to keep our fragile
treasures. We go along
feeling in control of our
box, but sometimes the
tape doesn’t hold, and
shattered china is the
result.
She recommends that
we take those broken
pieces and make something new out of them;
for instance, a beautiful
mosaic table top.
One of her shorter
columns is entitled
“Life is a Garden.”
Sometimes, when
weeds take over our
lives, we need to till
the ground ﬁguratively
speaking and start from
scratch.
It may take some
time, as seeds don’t
become full-blown grass
and ﬂowers overnight.
Letha also read a chapter from the book she
is writing about people
caught in the trap of
drug use and abuse.
She hopes to give
encouragement,
through her book, to
those who ﬁnd themselves in this dilemma.

POINT PLEASANT — “Two Rivers,
A World Apart” tells
the story of Dr. Mel
Simon as a young boy
who spent most of his
life by the banks of
the Pigalo River in his
native country, the Philippines, and as a young
man by the banks of the
Ohio River, both rivers
serving as the backdrop
of a young boy searching for the American
dream.
Members and guests
of the Point Pleasant Writers Guild will
be hearing the rest
of his story from Dr.
Simon himself when he
appears at the Mason
County Library in Point
Pleasant, Wednesday,
Oct. 2, from 1 – 3 p.m.,
as their guest speaker.
Light refreshments will
be offered.
The public is invited
to attend and meet Dr.
Simon who has served
his patients and the
community, not only
in the local area, but in
his homeland.
Through his Rotary
afﬁliations, “Operation
We Care” was born.
Its team of health-care
workers have carried
out over thirty years of
medical, surgical, and
dental missions.
For establishing the
French 500 Free Clinic,
the Ohio Governor

for the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame on
May 24, 2010. Volunteer physicians, nurses,

By Dan Sewell
Associated Press

DAYTON, Ohio —
When the blasting guns
fell silent, the cries and
groans of the wounded
rose.
As soon as six police
ofﬁcers hailed as heroes
killed the gunman to end
an attack that claimed
nine lives in Dayton,
police began working to
save lives.
Dayton ofﬁcers, who
in 2017 began carrying
tourniquets on their
belts, ﬁrst tried to stop
the bleeding and quickly
assessed which of the
wounded they needed to
get immediately to hospitals.
Their action was the
latest example of how
police have taken on a
bigger medical role in
mass shootings, among
the many adjustments in
tactics, weapons, equipment and training U.S.
law enforcement agencies
have made by studying
the response of fellow
law enforcement agencies

after mass shootings.
“Stop the killing — and
after the killing has been
stopped, that’s when the
stop the dying starts,”
said Pete Blair, executive
director of Advanced
Law Enforcement Rapid
Response Training ,
based at Texas State University.
Within minutes in
Dayton, the ﬁrst victims
arrived at the Miami Valley Hospital emergency
room in police patrol
cars. Four shooting victims were hospitalized
there, one in critical condition.
All survived, as have all
the more than 20 other
wounded people taken
to Dayton hospitals after
the shooting early Aug.
4 in the city’s Oregon
entertainment district.
Emergency room staffers at Miami Valley commented on how effectively police used tourniquets
to stop bleeding, said Dr.
Randy Marriott, an E.R.
physician there and the
medical director for the
Dayton Fire Department.

insisted they pray
instead. After one such
raid, Ilse and her family returned to their
apartment to ﬁnd that
the building had been
bombed. Emotions ran
the gamut from shock
to survival, readjustment, hope, and the
feeling of togetherness.
For the rest of the war,
they survived while
living in someone’s
root cellar. As a young
woman, Ilse moved to
America, married and
raised a family. She
continues to teach English in Mason County
schools.
After the readings,
Patrecia Gray led discussions on various
writing tips including
the use of euphemisms.
A euphemism is a
“nicer” way of saying
something unpleasant
or which has a bad connotation.
For example, an
employer may tell his
employee he is being let
go due to “downsizing”
rather than saying he
is ﬁred. A person may
tell another that he/she
has the “Big C” instead
of mentioning the word
“cancer.”
Those attending the
meeting included Carol

Patrecia Gray, Kris
Moore, April Pyles, and
Letha Jones.

have been the theme of
the day, as Kris Moore’s
essay was entitled “Is
Your Life Like a Grocery Cart?” She wrote
that some people’s lives
roll along smoothly and
look clean and undented…like a new grocery
cart…but then, with
time, it gets wobbly,
faded, and squeaky, and
has to go to the grocery
cart grave yard. All is
not lost, however, if
the cart still has a good
wheel that can be used
by another cart. Moral
of the story: If we leave
behind something good
of ourselves, it may just
be what another “cart”
can use to continue
functioning.
Ilse Burris read her
essay, “Just Wondering.” She asked herself
if people who live
through certain periods
of history are aware of
the importance of what
they are experiencing at
the time. Having been a
child living in Germany
during WWII, she and
her family and their
neighbors often heard
sirens warning them of
upcoming air raids.
The children took
their satchels of books
and toys to the bunker
where they would be
safe. The raid might
take place during the
night when ﬂashlights
were forbidden.
Darkness was necessary, of course, but it
also added to the confusion and fear felt by the
adults.
Ilsa and her friends,
however, were unaware
of the seriousness
of the situation. For
them, it was a time to
see each other. If they
laughed, the adults
made them stop and

By Alex Hawley

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
Halfway home and still
unbeaten.
The Gallia Academy
football team won the battle of undefeated teams and
celebrated Homecoming
in style on Friday night at
Memorial Field, as the Blue
Devils claimed a 45-28 victory over Ohio Valley Conference guest Portsmouth.
The Trojans (4-1, 1-1
OVC) — who started the
year with four straight
wins for the ﬁrst time since
Alex Hawley|OVP Sports 2002 — forced a three-andGallia Academy sophomore Brayden Easton (64) sacks Portsmouth quarterback Drew Roe (6), out on the games opening
during the Blue Devils’ 45-28 victory on Friday in Gallipolis, Ohio.
drive, and went up 6-0 on

the seventh play of their
ﬁrst offensive possession,
with Talyn Parker scoring
on an eight-yard run.
Gallia Academy (5-0,
2-0) — starting the season
with ﬁve straight victories
for the ﬁrst time since 1994
— was also forced to punt
on its second drive, but got
the ball back on the PHS 21
when Trent Johnson intercepted a Trojan pass.
Four plays later, Gallia
Academy was in the end
zone for the ﬁrst time
with a 10-yard touchdown
run from Michael Beasy.
Andrew Toler made his
ﬁrst of six point-after kicks,
giving the hosts a 7-6
advantage with 4:34 left in

the opening quarter.
Portsmouth was back in
front on its next offensive
snap, however, as Parker
broke a 66-yard touchdown
run. Drew Roe’s two-point
conversion run made the
PHS lead 14-7 with 4:17
remaining in the ﬁrst.
The game’s next four
drives resulted in punts,
with the Blue Devils starting their ﬁrst possession
of the second quarter at
their own 47. Three plays
into the drive, the Blue
Devils evened the game at
14, as Noah Vanco tossed a
41-yard touchdown pass to
Cade Roberts with 6:47 left

Belpre Golden
Eagles get past
Southern, 46-20
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

RACINE, Ohio — For Eagles, they sure seem to
prefer the ground to the air.
The Belpre football team ran for 404 of their 440
total yards on Friday night at Roger Lee Adams
Memorial Field, as the Golden Eagles claimed a
46-20 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division host Southern.
Belpre (3-2, 3-1 TVC Hocking) — winner of
three straight and scoring over 40 points for the
third game in a row — led 7-0 a quarter into play,
as quarterback Conner Baker scored on a six-yard
run.
The Tornadoes (4-1, 3-1) took their only lead
of the night at 8-7, after Trey McNickle broke a
46-yard touchdown run early in the second period.
The Golden Eagles answered with a 46-yard
touchdown run from Nick Godfrey and led 15-8.
Southern made it a one-point game with a 30-yard
touchdown pass from Gage Shuler to Cole Steele,
but Godfrey broke a 34-yard touchdown run to
give the guests a 22-14 halftime edge.
The Orange and Black were ahead 36-14 by the
end of the third quarter, as Baker scored on a oneyard run and then threw a 14-yard touchdown pass
to Dylan Cox.
Belpre increased its edge to 46-14 in the fourth,
as Baker scored on a one-yard run and Tyce
Church made a 27-yard ﬁeld goal.
Southern sent the game out on a high note, as
McNickle broke a 34-yard touchdown run for the
ﬁnal points of the 46-20 BHS victory.
The Golden Eagles held a 31-to-14 advantage in
ﬁrst downs in the win, with a 440-to-287 edge in
total offense. Belpre also won the turnover battle
by a 2-to-1 clip. The hosts were penalized seven
times for 78 yards, while BHS was sent back 90
yards on nine ﬂags.
McNickle ended with 151 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries to lead the Purple and Gold.

Raiders roll past Meigs, 41-25
By Dave Harris
For Ohio Valley Publishing

BIDWELL, Ohio —
Cole Young carried 37
times for 268 yards and
three touchdowns, while
Jared Reese chipped in
with 125 yards on 20
tries and three scores
to lead the River Valley
Raiders to a 41-25 win
over the Meigs Marauders Friday evening at
Raider Field.
The win made it a
happy Homecoming for
the Raiders, and ended
years of frustration with
the Marauders. The win
was the ﬁrst by River Valley over the Maroon and
Gold since September 5,
2003, and was the fourth
by the Raiders in the
26-game history between
the two schools.
The Raiders took the
opening kickoff and drove
62 yards in six plays
with Reese scoring from
14 yards out at the 9:25
mark of the period. Young
made it 12-0 with a four
yard dash at the 2:56
mark.
The Silver and Black
increased the lead to 20-0
when Young capped off a
seven play, 81 yard drive
with a 45 yard run with
8:59 remaining.
Meigs cut into the
lead just three plays later
when Abe Lundy caught
a Coulter Cleland pass
over the middle and he
took it 84 yards for the
score. Caleb Burnem
added the extra points to
pull Meigs to within 20-7.
But River Valley came
right back however and
drove 54 yards in eight

plays, with Young scoring from seven yards
out. Trae Russell added
the extra points and the
Raiders took a 27-7 lead
into the locker room at
the half.
Things got a little
chippy between the
two schools in the third
period, as tempers ﬂared
after a Raider personal
foul, and both teams had
a player ejected. That
seemed to ﬁre up the
Marauders as three plays
later, Cleland hit Wyatt
Hoover with a 69 yard
scoring toss to cut the
Raider lead to 27-13 at
the 11:14 mark of the
third period.
The Marauder defense
forced a three and out,

that set up Cleland’s third
scoring pass of the night
as Lundy scored on an 11
yard toss. The Raiders
increased the lead when
Reese scored from four
yards out with 2:45 left in
the period, Russell added
the extra points for a
34-19 advantage.
The Marauders cut it
to a nine point Raider
advantage when Cleland
hit Noah Metzger out of
the backﬁeld for 42 yards
and a score with 4:52 left
in the contest.
The Raiders closed out
the scoring with just 29
seconds left when Reese
scored from 16 yards,
Colton Gilmore added the
extra points to give the
Raiders the 41-25 win.

After the game, RVHS
coach Jason Peck spoke
about the signiﬁcance of
not only this ﬁrst win —
but also this group’s ability to end one of the longest losing skids against
an opponent in school
history.
And, as he noted, it
certainly provides some
conﬁdence moving into
the second half of the
season.
“It’s hard to ﬁnd a starting point to describe this
feeling because it’s all
over the place. The kids
were hungry for a win
and they wanted to play
well on Homecoming,
and they did that … especially against a team that
we haven’t had much success against lately. Our
kids deﬁnitely made their
mark tonight,” Peck said.
“We didn’t attempt a single pass and we had over
400 yards on the ground,
and that is a statement. I
think we found our identity tonight and they are
really starting to believe
in what we are doing
here. We are excited
about playing football
right now and we have
some conﬁdence headed
into the second half of the
season. I’m really proud
of our guys for not giving
up and how they responded tonight. It’s a big step
in the right direction.”
Cole Young was the
workhorse for River Valley with 37 carries for
268 yards, and Reese
added 125 in 20. Ryan
Jones added 33 in nine
tries, as the Raiders

CENTENARY, Ohio
— A little bit of breathing room at the top of
the league standings.
The Gallia Academy boys soccer team

Conference guest South
Point 1-0 on Thursday
night at Lester Field,
giving the Blue Devils
a two-match edge over
the Pointers in the conference race.
Gallia Academy (7-31, 7-0 OVC) — with its
sixth straight win —
broke the scoreless tie

as well as goal keeper
Bryson Miller, who
saved three shots to
seal the 1-0 victory for
the hosts.
This is the fourth
time GAHS has shut an
opponent out this season. The Pointers (8-4,
7-2) — who headed

Portsmouth responded
and led 20-14 just four
plays later, with a 45-yard
scoring pass from Roe
to Eric Purdy after a
32-yard run from Parker.
Gallia Academy
regained the advantage
with a four-play scoring
drive of its own, taking
the 21-20 lead with a
15-yard touchdown run
by Beasy, set up by a
28-yard pass from Vanco
to Cameron Webb.
The Blue Devil defense
stopped a fourth down
try on Portsmouth’s next
drive, and GAHS took
over with 5:14 left in
the half and 58 yards to
paydirt.
The hosts faced a
fourth down six plays
into the possession, but
got Portsmouth commit
an encroachment penalty
for a fresh set of downs
at the PHS 10. Four plays
later — a fourth-andgoal from a yard away
— James Armstrong
plunged into the end
zone to give the Gallia
Academy a 28-20 lead
headed into halftime.
The Blue Devil defense
forced a three-and-out to
start the second half, and
the offense took over at
the GAHS 27. Armstrong
carried the ball all the
way to the PHS 10 on
the ﬁrst play of the possession, and four plays
later, scored on another
one-yard, fourth down
run.
PHS went three-andout again, but the punt
return was fumbled by
the Blue Devils and the
Trojans were given new
life at their own 40. The
GAHS defense stood
tall yet again, however,
forcing a third straight
three-and-out. A punt
by each side wrapped up
the third quarter, and the
hosts began the fourth at
their own 20.
Gallia Academy was
set to punt on its seventh
play of the ﬁnale, but
the snap was fumbled,
and Toler took off for a
10-yard run and a ﬁrst
down. On the very next
play, Briar Williams
broke a 55-yard touchdown run, giving the
Blue and White a 42-20
edge with 8:26 left in the
game.
The hosts recovered
an onside kick on the

ensuing kickoff and made
their lead 45-20 seven
plays later, as Toler made
a 36-yard ﬁeld goal with
5:39 on the clock.
The Trojans ended
their scoring drought
on their next offensive
snap, as Roe tossed a
67-yard touchdown pass
to Bryce Wallace. Parker
made the two-point run,
Portsmouth recovered
an onside kick, and the
Trojan offense made it
as far as the GAHS 25.
However, the Blue Devils
stopped a fourth down
try with 2:53 to go, and
then ran for the ﬁrst
down they needed to seal
the 45-28 victory.
Following Gallia Academy’s 12th regular season win in a row, GAHS
head coach Alex Penrod
talked about the adjustments his coaching staff
was forced to make during the game, and how
his players executed the
changes.
“When it comes down
to our coaching staff
putting together game
plans, sometimes they
work, and sometimes
they don’t,” Penrod said.
“Hat’s off to Coach Kalb
and his defensive staff,
they did a good job with
a ﬁve-man front and
really kind of caught us
out of the blue. We made
some in-game adjustments there in the ﬁrst
half, but we were really
able to put it together in
the second half, so hats
off to our coaching staff.
“In the end, you can
have plans and ideas, but
it comes down to getting
our young men out there
on the ﬁeld to understand the adjustments
and put them in action,
and just play the game
of football. Our kids,
they trust our process. It
looked like we needed to
do some different things
defensively, but we knew
our guys were fresh, we
knew they were going to
better conditioned and
better suited. The energy
and effort picked up and
we were able to make
some plays.”
In the win, GAHS
claimed a 14-to-8 advantage in ﬁrst downs,
including 7-to-2 after
halftime. The Blue Devils
ran for 297 of their 376
total offensive yards,
while PHS gained 166
of their 282 through the
air. Both teams turned
the ball over twice in the
game, and Portsmouth
was penalized four times
for 40 yards, while Gallia

Academy was sent back
63 yards on nine ﬂags.
Armstrong led the Blue
Devil ground attack with
152 yards and two scores
on 28 carries, after a
net gain of just one yard
through his ﬁrst seven
totes. The Blue Devil
junior also caught one
pass for ﬁve yards in the
win.
Beasy had 70 yards and
two touchdowns on a
dozen carries, while Williams had 62 yards and a
touchdown on two rushes. Donevyn Woodson
ran three times for 16
yards, while Toler picked
up 10 yards on one carry.
Vanco completed 4-of10 passes for 79 yards
and a touchdown in the
victory. Roberts caught
two passes for 46 yards
and one score, while
Webb had one 28-yard
reception.
Parker ﬁnished with a
team-best 133 yards and
two touchdowns on 17
carries for the Trojans,
gaining 135 yards on a
dozen rushes in the ﬁrst
half.
Roe — who was sacked
four times in the loss
— was 12-of-22 passing for 166 yards and a
touchdown. Purdy led
all-receivers with 88
yards and a touchdown
on seven catches. Wallace had 71 yards and a
touchdown on two receptions for PHS, Chris
Duff added two grabs
for three yards, while
Michael Duncan caught
one four-yard pass.
Gallia Academy has
now won 11 straight conference games, as well
as nine games in a row
on its home ﬁeld. The
5-0 start isn’t only new
territory for the Blue
Devils, but also Coach
Penrod, who noted that
they won’t celebrate long
before preparing for their
Week 6 trip to Fairland.
“I can’t say that I’ve
ever done it in my assistant coaching career, and
deﬁnitely not in my head
coaching career,” Penrod
said of starting 5-0. “It’s
a great feeling and we’re
going to enjoy it tonight,
but we start back tomorrow morning. We’re 0-0,
we have another football
game, and we know
going down to Fairland
is always going to be a
tough battle.”
GAHS is now 20-11-1

the Trojans.

Eagles soar past South Gallia, 32-0
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— About as well-rounded
a win as one team could
ask for.
Eastern forced six turnovers and outgained host
South Gallia by a 2-to-1
margin in total yards Friday night while rolling to
a 32-0 victory in a Week
5 Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division football
contest in Gallia County.
The Eagles (3-2, 1-2
TVC Hocking) notched
their ﬁrst league win of
the 2019 campaign in
impressive fashion as
the guests forced three
turnovers in each half and
accumulated 307 yards of
total offense while storming out to a 25-point halftime advantage.
The Rebels (1-4, 1-2)
— who mustered only
87 total yards in the ﬁrst
half — didn’t convert
their ﬁrst ﬁrst down of
the game until the ﬁnal
minute of the ﬁrst half.
Overall, the Red and Gold
ﬁnished the night with
just 153 total yards and
seven ﬁrst downs.
The Green and White
needed only one play
to make their prowess
known as South Gallia’s
ﬁrst snap resulted in a
lateral pass that ended
up being recovered by
Will Oldaker at the hosts

Five plays later, Blake
Newland capped a 32-yard
scoring drive with a
10-yard run that gave the
guests a 6-0 edge with
9:45 left in the ﬁrst quarter.
The Rebels threw an
interception to Newland
two plays into the ensuing
drive, but the Eagles were
unable to do anything
with the takeaway and
lost possession on downs.
South Gallia followed
with a punt on its next
drive, and Eastern
answered with an 8-play,
75-yard drive that ended

took off from there,” Fellure said. “There were
some positive things from
tonight’s game, but it cannot be a couple of people
making those positives.
It has to be the whole
group. Our challenge
the rest of the way is for
everybody to make positive plays on a consistent
basis. When that happens,
we’ll be a more competitive football team.”
Eastern accumulated
252 rushing yards on
31 attempts and added
another 55 yards through
the air, while the Rebels
managed 83 rushing yards
on 26 carries and also had
70 passing yards.
The guests claimed a
19-7 advantage in ﬁrst
downs and were ﬂagged
seven times for 65 yards,
while South Gallia was
penalized ﬁve times for
25 yards.

White Falcons whip
Federal Hocking, 48-24
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

MASON, W.Va. — The
White Falcons went over
the hill, then coasted to
the ﬁnish line.
The Wahama football
team built a 40-point
lead at halftime and
ultimately cruised to a
48-24 victory over visiting Federal Hocking on
Saturday night in a Week
5 Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division contest
at Bachtel Stadium in
Mason County.
The host White Falcons
(2-3, 2-2 TVC Hocking)
had four different players
score touchdowns, including one defensive, and
were also a perfect 6-for-6
on 2-point conversions
while handing the Lancers (1-4, 0-3) their 37th
consecutive league defeat.
WHS churned out 278
yards of total offense
— including 202 yards
on the ground — while
producing a pair of takeaways that ultimately led
to eight points on the
scoreboard.
The Red and White
received ﬁrst half touchdown runs from Abram
Pauley, Trevor Hunt and
Brayden Davenport, while
Pauley also found Hunter
Board on a 50-yard TD
pass. Hunt also intercepted a pass and returned
it 88 yards to the house
before the break. Hunt
added a trio of successful
2-point conversion runs,
while Davenport and

Hunt hauled in a 2-point
conversion pass apiece
from Pauley en route to
building a 40-0 intermission advantage. Wahama’s
ﬁnal touchdown of the
night came from Pauley
after the break, with
Kase Stewart plunging
in to convert the 2-point
attempt.
Pauley led the WHS
ground attack with 89
yards on 13 carries, followed by Hunt with 59
yards on nine attempts.
Nick Brewer also chipped
in 43 yards on seven
totes.
Pauley completed 4-of6 passes for 76 yards,
which included a touchdown and an interception. Davenport hauled in
two catches for 14 yards,
while Board and Hunt
caught a pass each for 50
and 12 yards respectively.
Hunt ﬁnished the game
with two interceptions,
including his ﬁrst half
pick-6. Wesley Peters led
the Wahama defense with
seven tackles.
No statistical information was available for
Federal Hocking at press
time. Wahama — which
ﬁnishes league play
against the Lancers with
a perfect 10-0 mark —
returns to action Friday
when it travels to East
Shade River Stadium to

being Antonio Brown,
stuck in self-induced NFL
purgatory after ﬂaming
out in three cities in
the span of six months.
Le’Veon Bell took a year
off, then took the New
York Jets’ money. Joey
Porter is out of coaching.
Ryan Shazier’s career is
on hold.
Together, they spent
years toeing and sometimes crossing the line
between playing with an
edge and something considerably darker. The list
of moments memorable
for the wrong reasons
includes Burﬁct’s questionable celebration after
ending Bell’s season in
the 2015 ; Porter tak-

night’s meeting in Pittsburgh.
“Both of our backs are
against the wall, which is
kind of sad at this point
of the season,” Pittsburgh
guard David DeCastro
said. “It will make for
some good football, that’s
for sure. We both need a
win very bad.”
The winner can at least
point toward a bit of forward momentum heading
into October, while the
loser will be all but eliminated from AFC North
contention with the
leaves still on the trees.
While the Bengals began
the season with modest
expectations under ﬁrstyear coach Zac Taylor,
the Steelers ﬁgured to
be in the mix with Baltimore and Cleveland. Ben
Roethlisberger’s seasonending right-elbow injury
and a defense that’s been
unable to get critical
stops has Pittsburgh facing just its second 0-4
start in 1968. No wonder
Pittsburgh head coach

ing a break from his job
as Pittsburgh’s outside
linebacker coach to walk
onto the ﬁeld in the
ﬁnal minutes of a 2015
wild-card game to jaw at
Burﬁct, the same game
when Shazier’s helmet-tohelmet hit with running
back Giovani Bernard led
to the NFL modifying the
rules on such collisions.
Oh, and there was the
Monday night meeting in
December 2017, which
featured Iloka violently
slamming into Brown in
the end zone as Brown
hauled in the winning
touchdown a couple
hours removed from the
harrowing sight of Shazier being carted off with a
spinal injury from which
he is still recovering.
Their absence likely
means the bad blood
between both sides has
subsided. That’s probably
a good thing considering
the current state of both
teams. The Steelers and
Bengals are a combined
0-6 heading into Monday

Mike Tomlin is, as he put
it this week, ticked off.
Taylor isn’t quite there
yet with his team, though
he’s also well aware of the
weight facing the Steelers
still carries regardless of
the faces or the stakes.
“I certainly watched
my fair share of games
this offseason, trying to
prepare myself for what’s
in store in this division,”
Taylor said. “You get a
pretty good sense of the
feelings here. People
aren’t shy when you’re
out in the community in
the offseason letting you
know their thoughts on
the Steelers.”
The noise will almost
certainly get louder on
Tuesday morning if the
Bengals can’t ﬁnd a way
to win in Pittsburgh
for the ﬁrst time since
November 2015.
On the run
Cincinnati’s biggest
issue has been a nearly
nonexistent running
game that’s forced Andy

Dalton to carry almost
the entire load. It was a
bit better during a 21-17
loss at Buffalo , with Joe
Mixon running for 61
yards and catching two
passes for 34 yards and a
touchdown. Mixon came
into that game averaging
1.6 yards per carry. The
Bengals will try to get the
running game going to
keep Pittsburgh’s defense
from locking in on Dalton.
“Once you start to get
a rhythm in the run game
and they start keying into
it and saying, ‘We’ve got
to stop the run, we’ve got
to stop the run,’ you get
the balance of the complementary stuff that plays
off it,” Taylor said.
In a tight spot
A week after starting
safety Minkah Fitzpatrick
just days after acquiring him in a trade with
Miami, the Steelers
are giving another new
arrival a crash course
with plans to immedi-

ately throw him into the
fray. Pittsburgh sent a
ﬁfth-round pick in the
2020 draft to Seattle for
tight end Nick Vannett.
Pittsburgh is in need of
help at tight end with
Vance McDonald nursing a left arm injury and
Xavier Grimble on injured
reserve with a calf problem.
Helping Mason
Mason Rudolph overcame some early nerves
to throw for 174 yards
and two touchdowns in
his ﬁrst NFL start against
San Francisco . The Steelers actually had the ball
and the lead late in the
fourth quarter before
James Conner’s fumble
set up San Francisco for
the winning touchdown.
It was the second time
the 49ers turned short
ﬁelds courtesy of Pittsburgh turnovers into
touchdowns. If those
drives end in ﬁeld goals
instead, the Steelers
aren’t winless.

Browns vie for 1st place in showdown with Ravens
BALTIMORE (AP) —
Since their return to the
NFL in 1999 as the reincarnation of the Browns,
underachieving Cleveland
has sought to play the
spoiler role against the
franchise that Art Modell
took from the city to start
anew in Baltimore.
Finally, when the
Ravens and Browns meet
on Sunday, the stakes are
for ﬁrst place in the AFC
North. The emergence of
quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld and the addition of
standout wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. to a
team that closed strong
last season brought Cleveland into the national
spotlight as a legitimate

contender. Though the
Browns (1-2) have not yet
lived up to expectations,
they can earn a share of
the top spot with a victory. Sure, it’s early. But a
defeat will put Cleveland
two games behind Baltimore (2-1) and in an
all-too-familiar position:
closer to last place than
ﬁrst.
“Baltimore has kind
of been in the mix every
year for so long, and
they’re the defending
champs,” Browns coach
Freddie Kitchens said.
“So, until somebody beats
them, that’s what it is.”
Despite winning the
AFC North last year, the
Ravens were considered

by some to be an afterthought behind a Cleveland team that appeared
poised for greatness after
a lengthy run of miserable
seasons.
“It’s hype. You can’t
really buy into it,” Baltimore defensive tackle
Brandon Williams said.
“You really don’t know
what a team is until you
see them on Sunday. So,
once somebody gets hit
in the mouth, what’s the
plan then?”
The plan, Mayﬁeld
says, “is ﬁnding out what
is going on, eliminating
the mistakes and playing
to our strengths. The
defense is playing great.
It is our job to pick it up.”

Some things to know
about the latest installment in the BrownsRavens rivalry, in which
Baltimore has gone 30-10:
Double trouble
Beckham had the best
game of his career in his
only matchup against Baltimore.
“Yeah, they played a lot
of one-high man to man,”
he said. “That’s why it
doesn’t happen much. I
get man to man, I’m just
too conﬁdent in me —
I’m going to win.”
Beckham won a lot
on Oct. 16, 2016, when
he had eight catches for
222 yards and two touchdowns in his only game

against the Ravens for
the New York Giants. The
three-time Pro Bowler
has been frustrated by
double-teams so far with
the Browns.
Jackson’s streak
Lamar Jackson has
thrown for seven touchdowns this season for
Baltimore and ﬁred 221
straight passes without
an interception.
Asked about it in the
middle of the week, the
second-year quarterback
said, “That’s my job. I’m
not trying to throw any
interceptions. Don’t jinx
me, though.”
Jackson was limited
to 267 yards on a career-

high 43 attempts last
week in a 33-28 loss at
Kansas City.
Walk the talk
Williams wasn’t the
only member of the
Ravens who grew tired of
hearing all the preseason
hype about the Browns.
“That’s just kind of the
narrative the media created,” running back Mark
Ingram said. “You have to
play football at the end of
the day. You could have
as many players as you
want to on paper, but if
the guys don’t mesh and
they don’t communicate
well, they don’t play well
together, it really doesn’t
mean anything.
