Development Director; David K. Smith, Gallia County Commissioner’ Brent

Administrative Services; Harold Montgomery, Gallia County Commissioner; Joe
Stidham, Gallipolis Developmental Center.

GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia
County Board of Commissioners announced Thursday
the acquisition of four 16-bed
residential care cottages on 7.8
acres, from the State of Ohio,
for the price of $1.
“We are extremely pleased
to have ﬁnally closed on the
property today,” said Commissioner David K. Smith “The
process to secure the cottages
from the State of Ohio began
well over three years ago.
Since that time there have
been countless meetings and
conversations with elected

ofﬁcials and state leadership
regarding the future ownership
and use of the property.”
In 2016, the Gallia County
Commissioners, joined by local
business leaders, civic ofﬁcials
and then-Attorney General
Mike DeWine met to discuss a
variety of local matters which
included the future of the Gallipolis Developmental Center.
As speciﬁed in Senate Bill
364, the property retains
a deed restriction limiting
the use of the real estate for
mental health and addiction
treatment only. Therefore,
the Board of Commissioners

and Gallia County Economic
Development have been actively engaging with companies
and entities that would best
meet the needs of the community while satisfying the property use restrictions. Commissioners, Thursday, said that
they were still in discussions
with potential organizations to
utilize the property.
“Job creation and retention
are a priority of the board,
therefore we intend to quickly
put the buildings back to productive use in a manner that
will beneﬁt our community

Business
owners address
land bank delay
Public meeting scheduled for Thursday
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — Two concerned business owners
approached the Meigs County Commissioners
during Thursday’s regular meeting, asking the status of the proposed land bank for Meigs County.
Maureen Burns of Herbal Sage Tea and Bruce
Martin of Holly Hill Inn asked the commissioners
for an update on the land bank, which was previously approved in a resolution by the commissioners.
“Meigs County is the jewel of the Ohio Valley…
a hidden jewel,” said Martin. He asked the commissioners to imagine what it could be like with
the dilapidated properties renovated, demolished
or cleaned up.
According to the Center for Community Progress, “land banks are governmental entities or
nonproﬁt corporations that are focused on the
conversion of vacant, abandoned, and tax delinquent properties into productive use.”
The land banks are designed to help revitalize
areas and properties which have been abandoned
or have not been taken care of for many years.
Commissioners Jimmy Will explained that the
establishment of the land bank is a two part process. The ﬁrst step in the process was the resolution passed by the commissioners earlier in the
year.
The second step is for the county treasurer to
ﬁle the articles to form the land bank. Will said it
is two pages of paperwork and a $100 fee.
“She has refused to do so,” said Will of Treasurer Peggy Yost completing the necessary ﬁling.
Will said the only explanation has been concerns regarding a lawsuit in Cuyahoga County.
“If the treasurer is holding us back what can we
do,” asked Burns.
Commissioner Randy Smith said that during
the County Commissioner Association of Ohio
conference last week there was a group session on
land banks. During that session he asked if there

Bank donates $50k to stadium
Staff Report

RIO GRANDE — The
Gallia Academy Stadium and STEM Project
recently held “The Fall
Gathering” in efforts to
raise awareness and funds
towards the Gallia Academy Stadium and STEM
campaign.
This was the ﬁrst event
of its kind through this
particular campaign.
Through admission tickets, silent auction, a live
auction and a $50,000
commitment from Farmers Bank, this event
was able to raise over
$70,000. There were
nearly 300 attendees
dressed in their ﬂannel

and jeans, and a fun time
was had by all, supporters say. Entertainment
was provided by local
bluegrass band, The Red
Brush Band. The event
was held at Rio Ridge
Venue, located in Rio
Grande and dressed in fall
décor.
“We are very excited
to grow our relationship
with Gallia Academy
High School,” said Paul
Reed, president and
CEO of Farmers Bank.
“Through academics and
athletics, students are
able to learn the necessary skills that will beneﬁt them in all areas of life.
The stadium and STEM

project will not only
enhance our community
but will also give our children a safe environment
to have fun and make
memories for generations
to come. We are excited
to see the new facility.”
“Farmers Bank’s generous donation is not
only an investment in
our children but also in
the revitalization of our
community,” said Craig
Wright, superintendent of
Gallipolis City Schools.
Since its start in May,
this fundraising campaign
has been able to raise
over $155,000 in donations and pledges in addition to the nearly $45,000

left from the previous
fundraising campaigns.
“We set a two-part goal
when we kicked off this
fundraising campaign in
May,” said Josh Bodimer,
a committee member of
the fundraising efforts.
“Goal number one: raise
$1.5 million in 500 days.
The 500th day is September 21, 2020. Goal
number two: raise an
additional $3.5 million
by May 9, 2024. We plan
to make this happen and
see this through to the
end. We are very appreciative and encouraged
of the partners that have

‘It folded like a deck of cards…’
By Chris Rizer
Special to the OVP

An absolute masterpiece of American
engineering, the Silver
Bridge was designed by
the J.E. Greiner Co. of
Baltimore and built by
the West Virginia-Ohio
River Bridge Corp. and
American Bridge Co.
The WV-ORBC had
been organized just a
few years prior by Dr.
Charles E. Holzer, who,

as someone who needed
quick access to patients,
understood the need for
quicker transportation
between Ohio and West
Virginia. From the start of
construction, it took less
than a year to construct
the $1.2-million-dollar
bridge, a record for the
companies involved. It
was a gleaming testament to the genius of the
designers, supported by
rocker towers and eyebar chains that boasted

a strength of 150,000
pounds per square inch.
After WWII, the bridge
was upgraded from a
wood and asphalt roadway to one of concrete
and steel. Certainly, in
1967, nobody would have
believed you if you told
them that the bridge was
going to collapse.
Yet at 4:58 p.m. on
Dec. 15, 1967, an eye-bar
broke just below the Ohio
tower. Many eyewitnesses heard what sounded

like a shotgun, and then
the shaking began. It was
so rough that some cars
were moving as much as
6 inches to either side.
Suddenly, the bridge
rocked violently one way,
then the other, and then
the bridge just dropped.
An awful sound, that of
metal grinding on metal,
continued throughout
the collapse, and then
an oppressive silence set

Mrs. Kay’s 5th grade math and science classes at Rio Grande
Elementary School recently had a guest speaker. John Kay from
Kyger Creek Power Plant came to speak with the two classes
about how the plant produces electricity, what the job of an
environmental engineer is, and how they monitor and regulate
the emissions that come from the plant stack. The presentation
helped to reinforce the 5th grade science standard that states:
“Organisms perform a variety of roles in an ecosystem.” The class
learned that as humans, they are a large part of the surrounding
ecosystems. The lesson said it is a human’s job to regulate
pollution and do its part to keep the planet healthy. The class also
discussed the 5th grade science standard that states: “Light/Heat
and sound are forms of energy that behave in predictable ways.”
In learning about the operation of the plant, the students learned
that heat is a large part of the process and that heat comes from
burning coal. The students asked questions and wrote essays
following the presentation on what they learned from Mr. Kay.

THEIR VIEW

Elf on the
Shelf goes
to therapy
“Some kids are scared of me,”
cried Elf as he rested in my
ﬂurry ofﬁce chair. “Because parents say bad kids won’t receive
gifts from Santa when I tattle.” I
told Elf that spying on others is
naughty, not nice and can be considered creepy. And spying can
make children feel paranoid.
I asked Elf if he knew what
other doll comes to
life when nobody is
watching. Chucky, a
horror ﬁlm star.
“Elf,” I said.

Elf sniffed and
blew his plastic
nose. “I know I’m a tattle-tale,
but that’s my job.”
I invited Elf to talk more about
his emotions. “I’m a hot mess,”
he muttered.
“And now Jimmy Kimmel is
using me as a political poking
joke with Trump on a Stump
and Pence on a Fence.” Elf proclaimed he is a bipartisan pixie.
He doesn’t want to see Bill and
Hill on a Window Sill or Barack
in a Clandestine Sock or Nancy
P. in an Ambush Tree.
“Talk about why some elves
are sooo ornery,” I said. We
discussed how he is supposed to
role model appropriate behaviors.
“I know I go overboard sometimes and spill ﬂour on the ﬂoor
and roll it or ﬁsh in the toilet.
But give me a break. The parents
make me do it.” Elf sobbed as
snot bubbled out his nostrils. I
handed him a half of a tissue.
Some parents are tired of hoho-hoing and moving Elf around
every night. And spending
money on special clothes and
accessories.
FYI: Elf on the Shelf doesn’t
know he’s not real. He was created by humans.
He showed me Facebook
pictures of the wacky stunts
adults make him do with Barbie
and Ken. “I’m the victim,” he
declared. Elf denied abusing
alcohol and smoking marijuana.
Elf did confess that he slipped
Ritalin into Rudolph’s water bowl
before takeoff last year. And he
admitted to putting reindeer
poo in Sarah Elizabeth Sander’s
stocking. I suggested that Elf
work on his low impulse control.
“This year I’m on the holiday
menu at IHOP. Pancakes with
sweet cream cheese icing and
whipped topping,” Elf bragged.
“And Kellogg’s Elf on the Shelf
Sugar Cookie with Marshmallow
Breakfast Cereal features me.”
“Elf,” I replied. “I’m not supposed to judge what clients do,
but do kids really need more
sugar?”
Elf watched me for quite a
while without speaking. I just
knew Santa would leave a lump
of coal in my stocking.
“Why don’t you focus on the
behaviors the kids are doing
well? Like when they share,
take turns, and help around the
house.” We discussed positive
behavioral tools.
“What about an elf alternative?” I suggested that he consider becoming a Pocket Pixie
that encourages intentional acts
of being kind to others over the
Christmas holiday and beyond.
“Just talk to Mrs. Claus,” I recommended.
To make a long story short, I
referred Elf to a 12 Step program
called Tattle-Tale Anonymous.

But every year, just as

County settles jail
lawsuit but also faces
new inmate claim
CLEVELAND (AP)
— An Ohio county facing federal and state
investigations and lawsuits over the treatment
of inmates at its troubled jail in Cleveland
agreed to settle one
claim Thursday even as
another one was ﬁled.
Cuyahoga County
agreed to pay Corrionne Lawrence, 25,
$140,000 to settle a
federal lawsuit claiming corrections ofﬁcers
beat him for no reason, allowed another
inmate to attack him
and threatened him for
speaking to ofﬁcials
from the U.S. Marshals
Service, which concluded in a November
2018 report that conditions in the jail were
inhumane.
Lawrence’s lawsuit
also claimed corrections
ofﬁcers threatened to
pepper spray and hang
him to make his death
look like a suicide.
The settlement has
to be approved by
the Cuyahoga County
Council. A county
spokeswoman on Friday
declined to comment
about the settlement or
the new lawsuit.
Lawrence’s attorney
Ashlie Case Sletvold
said in a statement
that the county “has

violence at the jail.”

GM to invest $1.5 billion in Missouri plant
WENTZVILLE, Mo.
— General Motors will
invest $1.5 billion to
make what it calls the
“next generation” of
mid-sized pickup trucks
at its plant near St.
Louis, the company’s
president said Friday.
GM will use the
money to upgrade its
Wentzville Assembly
and Stamping Plant in
preparation for the new
products, GM President
Mark Reuss said at a
news conference inside

the plant, about 40 miles
(65 kilometers) west of
St. Louis. The company
already produces the
Chevrolet Colorado and
GMC Canyon pickups
there.
Reuss said the investment is expected to help
retain 4,000 jobs at the
plant. The company has
about 4,300 total workers in Wentzville and
any job losses will come
through attrition, said
Glen Kage, president of

was a way to move forward with the land bank
should the treasurer
not ﬁle the paperwork.
Smith said there is no
way to move forward
without the treasurer
submitting the paperwork.
Should the land bank
process not be completed by the end of 2019,
the county stands to
loose $250,000 in funding which is set aside for
counties who establish
new land banks. The
grant funding runs out
at the end of the current calendar year, said
Will and Commissioner
Randy Smith.
Smith explained that
once that funding is no
longer available a new
land bank would only
have a small portion of
tax revenue in order to
begin operation and that
it would not be ﬁnancially possible.
Will said not only
could the land bank help
to clean up the properties but could help

with the delinquent tax
problem in the county.
He said that in Meigs
County tax collection is
around 68 percent, well
below the surrounding
counties which are in the
90s.
Burns asked if a meeting could be set up in
order to ask the questions about why the
process is not moving
forward, and allow for
people on both sides of
the land bank conversation to express concerns
and receive information
and answers.
A public town hall
meeting has been
scheduled for 6 p.m. on
Thursday, Dec. 19 in the
Meigs County Common
Pleas courtroom for the
purposed of discussing
the Meigs County Land
Bank and why it has not
been moving forward.
The commissioners have
invited the treasurer and
auditor to take part in
the meeting.
More on Thursday’s
meeting will appear in
an upcoming edition of
The Daily Sentinel.

conﬁrmed that no jobs
will be cut.
GM will invest about
$1 billion to upgrade the
plant itself. The rest of
its investment is expected to be used for things
such as machinery for
outside companies that
supply parts to the
plant.
“It’s a big deal,” Reuss
said. “I feel good about
this. I really do.”
The company did not
release speciﬁc information about the new
generation of mid-sized
pickups, a product line
in which GM has domi-

nated in recent years.
“Sufﬁce to say they
will be very worthy
replacements for the
generation of trucks that
rejuvenated and redeﬁned the mid-sized segment,” Reuss said.
The investment in
Wentzville is part of
GM’s comprehensive
strategy to invest
in growth areas and
strengthen its U.S.
manufacturing base,
Reuss said. The expansion comes as GM plans
to permanently close
factories in Ohio and
Maryland.

which serves as an asset
to prospective companies and organizations
looking to expand to our
community.”
Commissioner Brent
Saunders added, “We
sincerely thank Governor
Mike DeWine, Senator
Bob Peterson and former
Representative Ryan
Smith for their strong
support and assistance
they have provided to
ensure that Gallia County gained ownership of

the property.”
The 6,700 squarefoot cottages, formally
utilized as a part of the
Gallipolis Developmental
Center (GDC), were
vacated in recent years
as client populations
reduced. Once serving
as one of the largest
employers in Gallia
County, the GDC experienced layoffs in 2009
and 2012 due the client
reductions at the center.
Since 2009, facilities like

the GDC have seen a
reduction in clients due
to efforts to enforce the
U.S. Supreme Court’s
decision in Olmstead v.
L.C. According to ada.
gov, the ruling required
states to “eliminate
unnecessary segregation
of persons with disabilities and to ensure that
persons with disabilities
received services in the
most integrated setting
appropriate to their

The sister of Gregory Fox, 36, sued the
county in federal court,
claiming jail employees
failed to provide him
with mental health care
and medication or take
steps to prevent him
from killing himself in
his cell in August 2018.
Fox told jail staff members about his mental
illness and his previous
suicide attempts, the
lawsuit said.
Eight inmates, including Fox, died at the jail
from June to December 2018. Four of the
deaths were suicides.
Another inmate killed
himself in May.
The Marshals Service
in November issued
a report that said the
grossly overcrowded
jail was plagued by
“inhumane” conditions,
abusive behavior by
corrections ofﬁcers and
unsanitary conditions,
and concluded the lockup was unsafe for both
inmates and staff members. Problems with
medical and mental
health care for inmates
also were cited in the
report. Recent state
inspections have noted
improvements as overcrowding has eased.

WATERFORD, Ohio — Fans of defense were in
for a real treat.
The Eastern girls basketball team came up one
point shy of the reigning Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division champions on Thursday in
Washington County, with Waterford escaping with
a 22-21 victory to stay perfect on the year.
Eastern (1-4, 1-3 TVC Hocking) started the
game with its best offensive quarter of the night,
hitting 4-of-12 ﬁeld goals en route to a 8-to-2 lead.
The Lady Eagles added one to their lead in the
second period and went into the break with a 13-6
advantage.
Waterford (4-0, 3-0) started the second half with
a 9-to-4 run, trimming its deﬁcit to 17-15 with
eight minutes to play.
EHS tallied four points in the fourth quarter, but
the Lady Wildcats posted seven, with freshman
Kari Carney making a go-ahead free throw with
six seconds left to give the hosts the 22-21 victory.
The Lady Eagles committed 23 turnovers in
the contest, while shooting 7-of-36 (19.4 percent)
from the ﬁeld, including 1-of-7 (14.3 percent) from
three-point range. EHS made 4-of-10 (40 percent)
free throws in the loss, while WHS was 5-of-9
(55.6 percent) from the stripe.
Olivia Barber led the Lady Eagles with ﬁve
points, followed by Erica Durst with four.

the Lady Raiders’ 64-33 victory on Thursday in
Bidwell, Ohio.

BIDWELL, Ohio — It was
time to see how it felt to be on
the other side.
After back-to-back 31-point
setbacks, the River Valley girls
basketball team turned the
tables on Thursday night in Gallia County, defeating Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division guest
Wellston by a 64-33 ﬁnal tally.
The Lady Raiders (3-4, 1-3
TVC Ohio) — snapping a
37-game skid in league-play —
trailed 9-0, with Wellston making its ﬁrst three three-pointers.
River Valley answered with a
17-to-4 run, sinking four trifectas of its own and leading 17-13
at the end of the ﬁrst quarter.
The Lady Rockets were held
to just three points in the sec-

ond quarter, going 0-of-8 from
the ﬁeld. River Valley stretched
its lead to 33-16 by halftime,
and then scored the ﬁrst eight
points of the second half for a
41-16 lead.
Wellston battled back to within 19 points, at 44-25, by the
end of the third, but RVHS went
on an 8-0 run to start the fourth
and led 52-25. WHS ended the
drought with a two-pointer at
the 5:19 mark of the quarter,
but the Silver and Black closed
the 64-33 triumph with a 12-to6 spurt.
After the 31-point win, thirdyear RVHS head coach Stephen
Roderick commended his team
for bouncing back after being
down 9-0 two minutes into play.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — They play two halves
for a reason.
The Meigs boys basketball team never led in the
ﬁrst half of Friday’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio
Division game in Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium,
but the Marauders bounced back in the second
half and wound up with a 55-47 victory over visiting Wellston.
Meigs (4-1, 2-0 TVC Ohio) was down by just
two points, at 15-13, eight minutes into play, but
Wellston extended its lead to 26-19 by halftime.
The Maroon and Gold more than doubled their
total in the third quarter, pouring in 20 points to
go ahead 39-35 headed into the fourth.
The Golden Rockets came up with a dozen
points over the ﬁnal eight minutes, but Meigs
sealed the 55-47 with 16 markers, 14 of which
came over 22 free throw attempts.
For the game, Meigs made 20-of-30 (66.7 percent) free throws, while WHS was 2-of-5 (40 percent) from the line.
Three Marauders scored in double digits, led
by Weston Baer with 23 points on a trio of threepointers, three two-pointers and eight free throws.
Coulter Cleland was next with 12 points, followed
by Wyatt Hoover with 10. Morgan Roberts and
Cory Cox collected four points apiece in the win,
while Bobby Musser came up with two.

Remember....
Good things come in
small packages.

Steelers host big game against Bills
McDermott and Tomlin
have remained in touch
during their respective
professional careers, with
McDermott occasionally
reaching out to Tomlin
in search of advice. All of
which is kind of funny to
Tomlin, who remembers
McDermott as the more
focused of the two when
their playing careers for
the Tribe overlapped in
1993 and 1994.
“I was just trying to
have fun,” Tomlin said
with a laugh.
He still is. Tomlin
might be in the midst
of the most remarkable coaching job of his
13-year tenure. Last
week’s victory over Arizona assured the Steelers
of a 16th straight season
season ﬁnishing .500 or
better — the second-longest active streak in the
league behind New England — and they’ve done
it despite an avalanche of
injuries on offense that
has forced Pittsburgh to
reinvent itself on the ﬂy.
Undrafted rookie free
agent and budding cult
hero Devlin “Duck”
Hodges is the quarterback. Two other rookies — Benny Snell and
Kerrith Whyte — have
carried the bulk of the
running game since
James Conner injured his

right shoulder before Halloween. Third-round pick
Diontae Johnson electriﬁed while accounting
for both of Pittsburgh’s
touchdowns against the
Cardinals. Pittsburgh
isn’t lighting up scoreboards as it did during
the “Killer B” era led by
Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon
Bell. Yet the Steelers are
still in the thick of things
in mid-December, just
like always.
“In the locker room, no
one doubted him one bit,
ever,” Steelers outside
linebacker Bud Dupree
said. “The outside world
probably doubted him
because he didn’t win the
Super Bowl every year.
But it’s the Steelers. People expect the Steelers to
win the Super Bowl every
year. But if he was on
another team, he would
be coach of the year
plenty of times. But being
here, expectations are
a little higher. He really
handled the pressure.”
Something McDermott is learning how to
do in Buffalo. From the
moment he and general
manager Brandon Beane
were hired in 2017,
they’ve talked about
building the franchise
into consistent contenders.

OH-70163100

PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Sean McDermott remembers lining up across from
Mike Tomlin and wanting
to do everything he could
to impress everyone
watching, from the William &amp; Mary coaches to
his teammates to Tomlin
himself. It comes with the
territory when you’re a
freshman defensive back
and the wide receiver
you’re facing happens to
be an upperclassman and
a team captain.
“We had our battles,”
said McDermott, who
played with Tomlin for
two seasons in 1993-94.
“I was a walk-on, he was
a scholarship athlete. He
was established and I was
just trying to get a pair of
cleats.”
A quarter century later,
the stage is a much different one.
Like McDermott during his early college days,
the Buffalo Bills are the
upstart in search of some
street cred heading into
a rare prime-time visit to
Pittsburgh to face Tomlin
and the Steelers. A win
and the Bills (9-4) clinch
their second playoff berth
in McDermott’s three
seasons. A victory by the
surging Steelers (8-5)
and Pittsburgh leapfrogs
Buffalo for the AFC’s top
wild-card spot.

2019 Class AA football teams
Point nets 2
first-time picks
in Stanley,
Muncy

By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

Mason County had two players chosen to the 2019 Class
AA football teams, as selected
by members of the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
Point Pleasant did not
garner a ﬁrst or second team
selection this fall after missing
the playoffs for the ﬁrst time in
a dozen years with a 4-4 overall mark.
The Big Blacks did, however,
avoid their ﬁrst losing season
since 2007 and had a pair of
two-way players selected at different levels of the list.
Senior Wyatt Stanley — a
6-foot-1, 242-pound lineman —
was named to the special honorable mention squad, while
classmate Jacob Muncy — a
6-3, 300-pound lineman — was
chosen to the honorable mention list.
Stanley and Muncy were
both ﬁrst-time recipients of allstate honors in football.
The Big Blacks had previously landed seven selections in
each of the last three seasons.
Fairmont senior lineman
Zach Frazier was the ﬁrst
team captain on offense, while
Blueﬁeld lineman Sean Martin
was the defensive ﬁrst team
captain.
Atticus Goodson of Independence was the second team
captain on offense and Gage
Patterson of Oak Glen was the
second team defensive captain.
Roane County senior Alex
Miller was an honorary selection to the ﬁrst team offense.
