The Endow 200 campaign began in 2018 with a goal to raise $600,000 as a permanent endowment by 2022. As previously reported by The Daily Sentinel, the Endow 200 campaign was launched in conjunction with the Meigs County Bicentennial Celebration with a goal of bringing together 200 gifts of $3,000 each. The funds will go into a permanent endowment that will allow the Meigs County Community Fund to make grants each year while also growing the dollars available for the community.

Levy this levy is all about for us is the recruiting and retention of our employees.” From page 1 Swift and Lieutenant Chief Bruce Swift. “What Chris Pitchford said the department is ﬁnding it difﬁcult to compete for other agencies for cadets when Middleport cannot offer what they believe is a competitive wage. According to Pitchford’s presentation, Middleport pays police ofﬁcers $12.75 per hour, dispatchers $9.50 per hour, and corrections ofﬁcers $10.00 per hour. Of the 25 to 30 employees at the police department, only six of them are full time. There are no full-time dispatchers or corrections ofﬁcers, “due to increased costs of employing those positions full time”. Pitchford said Middleport is the lowest paying agency within the area. According to Pitchford, the Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce pays deputies $15.85 per hour and dispatchers make $13.65 per hour. Gallia County Sheriff’s deputies make $15.43 per hour. Gallipolis Police Ofﬁcers are paid $16.09 per hour. Jackson and Wellson Police ofﬁcers make $14 per hour. Vinton County Sheriff’s Deputies make $14.85 per hour. Athens Police Ofﬁcers make $20 per hour. These are all starting wages, stated Pitchford. “We have current people that have been with us for a month and will probably be leaving us very soon,” Pitchford said. “They are [Ohio Police Ofﬁcer Training Academy] OPOTA certiﬁed and there’s already another agency that wants them.” Pitchford and Swift also said that OPOTA is producing less cadets because of changes in the program, which leaves Middleport to compete for a few cadets and not being able to offer much pay. “There are a lot of other places people can go right now to make more money than that, and when it comes down to it, guys, they’ve got to pay their bills too,” Pitchford said. The police department is hoping that with the passage of this levy, they will be able to offer police ofﬁcers, dispatchers and corrections ofﬁcers more money, with competitive wages, so they can recruit more employees and keep them at the department. According to the ﬁgures presented at the meeting, in 2018 and into 2019, Middleport Police Department has had 749 misdemeanor cases — 175 of them were drug related and 75 were property crimes. In the same time, there were 241 felony indictments — 167 were drug related and 42 were property crimes. Pitchford said the department has a 55 percent success rate in felony property crime arrests — the national average is 17.6 percent. Middleport is also part of the Gallia-Meigs Drug Task Force. Since Electric From page 1 OH-70155506 members include Kaye Wayne Hamilton, Jeffery A. Courtney, Brian Taylor and Robin Kinney. Stephanie Rife provided the Commissioners with an update on the Meigs County Farmers’ Market which concluded for 2019 on Oct. 26. Rife expressed appreciation for the people who supported the market, including 2014, the task force has had 568 total cases and has seized $9,276,544.65 of drugs, according to Pitchford. Middleport Police Department has a full-time ofﬁcer on the task force. Pitchford said they can only provide one to one and a half ofﬁcers per shift. The recommended standard is one ofﬁcer per 1,000 residents. Middleport has approximately 2,600 residents. Pitchford said the department is selfsupporting with the jail. They have an impound lot, a K-9 unit that receives donations, forfeitures and grants. Six of the last seven cruisers were purchased without taxpayer money. The presentation was concluded by stating, “These new ofﬁcers will seek employment with a neighboring agency because of the higher wages with that agency. … This trend will continue if wages are not increased. There will likely come a time, not far from now, when MPD is unable to provide its residents with the same level of success because we will be unable to recruit and retain police ofﬁcers, corrections ofﬁcers, and dispatchers.” Pitchford told the public, “We’re at risk of losing full-time positions and we’re at risk of losing a full-time department.” Kayla Hawthorne is a freelance writer for The Daily Sentinel. the special tent which was set up each week for youth to sell their items at no set up cost.

Gallia Academy’s honorable See TEAMS | 7 Panthers rally Rio Grande volleyball By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande’s matchup with Ohio Dominican University on Tuesday night had no bearing on the River States Conference standings. But given how things ﬁnished, the RedStorm have to hope there’s no carry-over effect toward the remainder of their season. Rio Grande squandered a pair of match points in set three and coughed up an early two-set lead in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers at the Newt Oliver Arena. ODU, which won for just the third time in 24 outings, secured the victory by scores of 21-25, 19-25, 27-25, 25-19, 15-11. The RedStorm slipped to 16-11 with the loss, just its second in 14 non-conference matches this season. Rio Grande errors led to nearly half of the 107 points scored by the Panthers in the match. The RedStorm complicated 23 attack errors with a whopping 14 service errors, four reception errors, nine blocking miscues and three ball-handling errors. Ohio Dominican dropped the ﬁrst two sets, but the Panthers’ own ineptitude - particularly at serving the ball - had a lot to do with the deﬁcit. Ten of ODU’s 13 service errors and seven of its 10 ball-handling errors occurred over the ﬁrst two stanzas. Rio Grande found itself one point away from a match win on two occasions in set three, but an attack error tied things at 24-all and a kill by the Panthers knotted the score at 25-all. ODU closed out the set - and extended the match - thanks to a blocking error by the RedStorm and a Panther kill. Set four saw ODU take control with a 7-2 that snapped a 12-12 tie, while the Panthers erased a 4-1 deﬁcit in set ﬁve with seven consecutive winners to take a lead they would never relinquish. Amanda Remmetter had a match-high 21 kills to go along with 10 digs and a team-high two solo blocks for Ohio Dominican, while Kamryn Maxwell had 14 kills and 12 digs of her own. Carleigh Deitsch had 30 assists and Allie Rutter had 31 digs in the winning effort for the Panthers, while Zoe Carmichael ﬁnished with 16 assists of her own. Freshman Malorie Colwell (London, OH) and junior Rachael Gilkey (Nelsonville, OH) had 11 and 10 kills, respectively, in the loss for Rio Grande, while junior Macy Roell (Farmersville, OH) ﬁnished with 36 assists, 16 digs and three service aces.

Generals charge past Point, 4-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — According to the law of averages, this 13 was unprecedentedly unlucky. Braxton Vanscoy scored a pair of goals in each half, allowing visiting Winﬁeld to become the ﬁrst road team to win at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field this fall while cruising to a 4-0 victory over the Point Pleasant boys soccer team in the Class AA-A Region IV championship match Tuesday night in Mason County. The host Big Blacks (13-4-5) had their 8-game winning streak come to a halt as the Generals (19-1-4) produced three times as many shot attempts by night’s end, including a quartet of goals from Vanscoy — three of which were unassisted. The Green and White — the Section 2 champions — claimed a favorable 5-2 edge in shots in the opening half of play, and that pace allowed the guests to build a 2-0 lead entering the intermission. “They played a much quicker game than what we had anticipated. We scouted them a couple of times, and the pace that we saw tonight was not what we saw,” PPHS coach Chip Wood said afterwards. “We had some moments and some opportunities that didn’t pan out, and we did what we wanted to do and what we’ve done over the last eight games of the season. Unfortunately, they were just perfect in front of our goal. They ﬁnished everything when they had chances and we just didn’t have a counter for that tonight.” Vanscoy split two defenders in front of the goal and unleashed a point blank shot that successfully found the net at the 28:56 mark, giving WHS a permanent lead of 1-0. The Red and Black followed with a missed chance as Adam Veroski sailed a shot from in front high in the 26th minute, easily Point’s best shot attempt of the opening 40 minutes. Winﬁeld answered as Jackson Zulauf hit Vanscoy in stride with a pass in the 32nd minute, and Vanscoy caught the pass in front before ﬁring away from point blank range for a 2-goal cushion just before the break. Vanscoy’s hat trick came in the 46th minute after tracking down a pass 10 yards out, then he made a move to his right before temporarily losing control of the ball. Vanscoy outran two defenders to the free ball and somehow gathered possession long enough to rip off a shot — which ultimately found the net for a 3-0 advantage. The ﬁnal Vanscoy goal came in the 58th minute as he hauled in a goalie deﬂection and made a touch right, then ﬁred back to the left side from inside 10 yards for a 4-goal lead with just over 20 minutes remaining. Vanscoy did miss a chance at a ﬁfth goal after ﬁring wide right on a penalty kick with 13:18 left in regulation. The Generals outshot the hosts on goal by a 9-3 overall margin and also had seven of the nine corner kicks in the contest. The Black Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant keeper Nick Smith leaps to deflect a ball away from the goal during the first half of Tuesday night’s Region IV championship match against Winfield at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Knights were whistled for 11 of the 20 fouls, plus both teams received a yellow card apiece. Nick Smith made six saves in net for the hosts, while Nathan Lanham secured the shutout for Winﬁeld with three stops. Wood noted that the better team won on this night and that the setback didn’t diminish anything that happened this fall, but the fourth year mentor was still bummed by the ﬁnal outcome. He was, however, pleased with the way the community rallied around his troops on Tuesday night. “It’s disappointing in a way because our goal coming into the year was to play 25 games, which would have put us in the state ﬁnal. It’s good that we won the (Region IV) Section 1 plaque and it’s good that we are one of the last eight teams play- ing in our division, but it’s frustrating to know that we really never were in this game on the scoreboard. We were in the game on the ﬁeld, just not on the scoreboard. “Now, I do want to thank the crowd and community for coming out and supporting these boys. It was a proud moment to see how much support we had out there on the ﬁeld with us.” It was the ﬁnal soccer match for seniors Kaydean Eta, Garrett Hatten, Peyton Hughes, Zach Rediger, Nick Smith, Isaiah Snyder and Cohen Yates, as well as exchange student Sondre Folvik. Wood noted that those eight young men, especially the seniors, are leaving the program in a much better shape than where it was four years ago when they started. And, as the venerable mentor pointed out, those upperclassmen have been ideal mentors for the other 20-plus members of this program set to return. “Those seniors are one win shy of 50 for their careers. That’s something that has happened only seven or eight times in program history, so these guys have obviously left their mark with some of the best in our school. These guys have played a key role in getting this program back into this spot,” Wood said. “They’ve been good role models for this group and hopefully our younger guys will understand what it takes to get to this level. We’ll try and pick up next year where we left off this year.” Point Pleasant ﬁnishes the season with a 9-1-3 overall mark at home. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. An open letter to the Residents of Middleport, As your Mayor back in the 80's, we accomplished many things that were beneficial to Middleport. We obtained over $13 million in grant dollars to do everything from paving streets to attracting business to housing rehab and housing construction. Each project had a story with it on how it happened. These many projects did not just happen but took a lot of effort on everyone's part. To do this everyone (council and residents) worked together for the betterment of the community. We CAN bring Middleport back to once again be the best community in Meigs county but it is going to take a concerted effort by the Mayor, village council and residents if we will be able to do this. During the past ten years I have been the Grants Administrator for Syracuse. We have been very successful in obtaining over three million dollars during that time for small projects that required little or no matching funds. I am well aware of agencies that can help us and know most of the Directors well which always helps. I do have a plan on what I think needs to be done and how to go about doing it. Below is a listing of some (but not all) of the things I would do: 1. Improve our streets through a yearly paving program using the increase in gas tax ($45,000) and the $15 local license plate fee which we already have ($35,000) as matching funds for a $300,000 yearly grant program for street improvements. 2. In cooperation with local business building owners, retain a structural engineer to inspect the older buildings and determine if there is any way that they could be repaired. Before we demolish any buildings, we need to have a plan in place for use of the property. To attract business, we need to have a place for them in our downtown area. In the old days we did this. We can do it again. 3. Develop a time frame for condemning and demolishing housing units that are not repairable, which would also mean deciding how the vacant property is to be developed. We always used to do this. 4. Establish programs to encourage building new homes in town, possibly some form of tax break as we used many years ago which resulted in at least 25 new homes which the village is now collecting full taxes on. 5. Obtain funding to improve our water system without huge rate hikes. Small projects with available matching funds are better than large projects with large grants but still leaving residents to pay for the large loans that go with the grant. 6. Middleport has the only established federal Opportunity Zone in Meigs county and, to the best of my knowledge, has never been used by local officials to try to develop a project in our community. I would do this. 7. Other projects would include cleaner streets and neighborhoods, more police patrol on village streets, and listening to residents for their ideas to make the community better and that means Mr. Ashley and all the younger generation as well as the older generation in our community. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. VOTE FOR WHOMEVER YOU FEEL WILL DO THE BEST JOB IN REJUVENATING MIDDLEPORT THAT SHOULD BE OUR PRIME GOAL NO MATTER WHO IS ELECTED. WE NEED EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER. FRED L.
