Two people
arrested on

Staff Report

MIDDLEPORT —
Two people are facing
drug charges following the execution of a
search warrant on Sunday in Middleport.
Middleport Chief
of Police Bruce Swift
announced, in a news
release, that the Middleport Police Department
with the assistance of
the Major Crimes Task
Force of Gallia-Meigs
served a search warrant in the 300-block of

South Second Avenue,
Middleport on Sunday
evening.
The warrant was
obtained through investigations by the Middleport Police Department
and the Major Crimes

James K. Stanley.
After securing the
residence, ofﬁcers
completed a search of
the premises. Several

Syracuse police grant revoked
By Erin Perkins
eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com

SYRACUSE — The
Syracuse Council recently met discussing the
recent happenings to the
2018 Ofﬁce of Criminal
Justice Services Grant
(OCJS) for $11,316.47
for the Syracuse Police
Department (SPD).
Grants Administrator
Fred Hoffman read aloud
an email he received pertaining to the grant.
“After reviewing the
comments on your grant
application you are not
selected for funding
because your crime
statistic reporting is
behind, is a condition of
eligibility that everyone

be current on crime
reporting, therefore the
grant was not approved
for funding.”
Mayor Eric Cunningham informed council
the email was sent after
the village was notiﬁed
of receipt of the grant in
March.
Police Chief Mony
Wood is in charge of the
crime reporting and told
council SPD utilizes the
same reporting system,
Ohio Law Enforcement
Gateway (OHLEG), as
the rest of Meigs County.
For example, Wood
explained Middleport
Police Department uses
the same reporting system and they received
the grant with no prob-

lems.
Wood stated, “They’re
saying we don’t have
crime statistics reporting
and on OHLEG there
is no crime statistics
reporting, all it is, is
reports. Anything that
we do reports on is anything criminal, tickets
are not criminal, so we
do not do reports on
those.”
Wood shared the
problem SPD faces is the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Ofﬁce reports a lot of the
crime in the village. He
said it was recommended
to him to access call
records from the sheriff’s
ofﬁce from when they
reported to Syracuse village and made incident

reports.
Hoffman explained he
was told there were no
annual reports from July
of 2016 to January of
2018 and the one report
received did not have
an attachment with it
to be sent to the Ofﬁce
of Criminal Justice Services.
Wood responded SPD
reported a domestic case
in January, but the other
months, the crime was
reported by the sheriff’s
ofﬁce.
Wood explained every
month SPD must report
on human trafﬁcking,
domestic violence, and
the ofﬁcer roster which

REEDSVILLE —
Applying math concepts
to the real world, students at Eastern Middle
School recently took
part in the school’s ﬁrst
Math Fair.
Similar to a Science
Fair, the Math Fair challenged students to demonstrate their learning

of math concepts and
the real world applications of math.
Principal Bill Francis
explained that the students completed really
nice projects. The projects were judged during
the school day and left
on display for the parent-teacher conferences
that evening.
Teachers Rebecca

Otto and Debbie Barber
organized the event
after discussing it for
a few years. They had
been researching online
for ideas and decided
to make it their own as
there had not been one
held in the area.
Students had 10
weeks to work on their
projects using a list of
questions and guide-

lines.
Barber explained that
the projects were an
extension of the classroom, allowing for students to dig deeper into
the topics with modeling and reasoning.

MASON — A drug
arrest Saturday night in
Mason led to a police
ofﬁcer being hospitalized,
when he allegedly came in
Keffer
contact with fentanyl.
Nathan D. Keffer, 30,
of Mason was arrested
by Mason Patrolman Kendall
Roush on two counts of possession of a controlled substance
and obstructing an ofﬁcer. He
remained in Western Regional
Jail on Monday on a $5,000 bond,
set by Mason County Magistrate
Gail Roush, according to Police
Chief Rich Gilkey.
Gilkey was transported to

Pleasant Valley Hospital following the arrest. He was
hospitalized overnight and
tested positive for fentanyl,
after reportedly coming
into contact with wet cotton balls the suspect was
carrying.
Also at the scene was
West Virginia State Police
Trooper G.C. Burnem, who
Gilkey credited with quick action
in recognizing the symptoms of
his alleged exposure to the drug.
According to the police report,
Patrolman Roush stopped a Ford
Ranger after it turned off of the
Bridge of Honor allegedly without signaling. The driver and two
passengers were also reportedly

not wearing seat belts.
After the driver gave consent,
Chief Gilkey attempted to search
Keffer, who reportedly became
agitated. Gilkey physically
restrained Keffer, and a needle,
suspected heroin, suspected suboxone, and a plastic bottle cap
with cotton balls, soaked in suspected heroin and fentanyl were
allegedly found, according to the
chief.
Gilkey said after accidentally
coming in skin contact with the
cotton balls, he began feeling
dizzy and disoriented prior to the
squad being called.
Additional charges are possibly
pending against Keffer, Gilkey
said.

People on Monday stand in front of damaged buildings, in the town of Douma, the site of a
suspected chemical weapons attack, near Damascus, Syria. Faisal Mekdad, Syria’s deputy
foreign minister, said on Monday that his country is “fully ready” to cooperate with the factfinding mission from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons that’s in Syria to
investigate the alleged chemical attack that triggered U.S.-led airstrikes.

THEIR VIEW

Sinclair script
is not news, it’s
propaganda
If you form an opinion, it’s yours. If I make you
repeat my opinion, it’s not.
That is the crux of the Sinclair Broadcast Group
controversy, where the nation’s
single biggest owner of TV stations
Mitch
recently instructed all of its 193 staAlbom
Contributing tions to deliver the same message,
word for word.
columnist
Does it matter? Nothing less than
the future of our country lies within
this issue. If you think I’m crazy, please read on.
Oh, I know a journalist writing about journalism is often poorly received. We listen to doctors
about medicine. We listen to ﬁnancial experts
about money. But somehow, when journalists
worry about their ﬁeld, it’s considered too alarmist, or, worst of all, whining.
But railing against what Sinclair did is not
whining. When a media organization sends out
an “editorial” and demands its anchors read it as
if it’s independent thought, that shoots way past
whining and lands squarely on dangerous.
Because there’s a word for that. Propaganda.
Now before you scurry to your political corner,
understand it doesn’t matter what the message is.
Forget the fact that the missive sent by Sinclair
was decrying “fake news,” a phrase that has been
embraced by the Trump administration to diminish anyone who criticizes it.
Let’s ﬂip things over. Let’s say the message
was this: “The Second Amendment should be
repealed. Guns have no place in American life.”
Let’s say 193 TV stations in this country all
ended their local new broadcasts with an editorial
about that. And you, living in Flint, called your
cousins in Boise, who called their kids in Tallahassee, and you all said, “You won’t believe what my
TV anchor said about doing away with guns!”
And they said, “Mine, too! Word for word!”
Do you see something wrong with that? If you
don’t, I worry even more. The essence of journalism, good journalism — which, admittedly, is not
practiced in many places today — is that nobody
forces a story on a reporter or anchor. Nobody
tells you what to write or say.
Sure you might have an editor who suggests a
story. And yes, there is a bias simply in determining what’s newsworthy.
But that is a far cry from putting words in people’s mouths across the country — and not telling
viewers where they came from. That’s using news
people as puppets. Like Russia did with Pravda.
Like China does by distributing free TV sets to
poor regions so the government’s message can be
spread through “news” broadcasts.
Is this who we want to be?
Hypocrisy? This is the deﬁnition of it
The actual “script” sent to Sinclair broadcasters
was published by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It
reads like a commercial, complete with who says
what. Here is some of it:
“Hi, I’m (A)—————— and I’m (B)———
———”…
(A)…we’re concerned about the troubling trend
of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing
our country. The sharing of biased and false news
has become all too common on social media.
(B) More alarming, some media outlets publish
these same fake stories … stories that just aren’t
true, without checking facts ﬁrst.
(A) Unfortunately, some members of the media
use their platforms to push their own personal
bias and agenda to control ‘exactly what people
think’ … This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.
Stop right there. Here is a company whose stations already reach 40 percent of the country, and
is using a friendly Trump administration to potentially reach 70 percent of the country, criticizing
“bias” and “agenda” by putting the words IN THE
MOUTHS OF ANCHORS!
This is like someone yelling, “Watch out for that
guy, he’s dangerous!” while stabbing you with a
knife.
Look. I know many of you feel journalism has
strayed. Often times, it’s not the New York Times’
credo “All the News That’s Fit to Print” but more
“All the News That Fits Our Point Of View.”
But a recent study by the American Press Institute showed 82 percent of Americans trust their
local news more than networks. So if you are bothered by a slant on Fox or MSNBC, you should be
horriﬁed by Sinclair. So tone-deaf is this company,
that last week it actually defended itself by gathering old clips of CNN anchors talking about the
dangers of “fake news.” It then said, in essence,
how can CNN talk about fake news then criticize
us? It actually used the word “hypocrisy.”
No. Hypocrisy is when you put your words
in other people’s mouths and call it news — or
worse, independent thought. Again, it’s not the
message. It’s not the subject. It’s the demand that
you say what we tell you to say.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “Our liberty
depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” Our forefathers

GLOUSTER, Ohio — A perfect end to a perfect
week.
The Eastern softball team claimed its ﬁfth win
of the week on Saturday in Athens County, defeating Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host

Eastern (7-1, 6-1 TVC Hocking) was retired in
order in the top of the ﬁrst inning, but more than
made up for lost time in the top of the second,
scoring eight runs on four hits, three errors and
two hit batters.
The Lady Eagle lead grew to 9-0 in the top
of the third, as Kelsey Casto doubled and then
scored on an error. In the following inning, Tessa
Rockhold blasted a three-run home run, giving the
guests a 12-0 lead.
Rockhold doubled home two runs in the next
inning, capping off the EHS scoring.
After breaking into the hit column for the ﬁrst
time in the fourth, Trimble put a pair of runners
on base in the bottom of the ﬁfth, but couldn’t
avoid the 14-0 mercy rule setback.
Elaina Hensley was the winning pitcher of
record in a complete game for the Lady Eagles,
striking out three and allowing three hits.
Lunsford took the loss in a complete game for
Trimble, striking out three, while surrendering 14
runs, four earned on 11 hits and two hit batters.
Leading EHS at the plate, Rockhold was 2-for-4
with a home run, a double, two runs scored and
ﬁve runs batted in, Cera Grueser was 2-for-4 with
a double, a run and two RBIs, Sidney Cook was
2-for-4 with a double, two runs and one RBI, and
Emmalea Durst win 2-for-3 with two runs.

Lady Knights outlast Winfield, 4-3
edge Meigs
in nail-biter
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — As close as it gets.
The Meigs baseball team dropped a 3-2 decision to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division guest
Athens on Thursday in Meigs County, with the
Marauders leaving the potential game-tying run
on third base.
Athens left the bases loaded in the ﬁrst inning,
but took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second after
an Meigs (2-6, 2-2 TVC Ohio) error.
After leaving a runner in scoring position in
each of the ﬁrst two innings, the Marauders tied
the game in the bottom of the third, as Cory Cox
scored the hosts ﬁrst run.
The game wasn’t tied for long, however, as Athens scored twice in the top of the fourth. Meigs
got one run back as Wyatt Hoover singled home
Wesley Smith in the bottom of the sixth, but MHS
stranded a runner on second in the sixth and one
on third in the seventh, giving Athens the 3-2 win.
Zach Helton suffered the loss in four innings on
the mound for the hosts, striking out eight and
allowing three runs, one earned, on a hit, three
walks and three hit batters. Zayne Wolfe pitched
three innings in relief, striking out two and giving
up one hit.
Trainer earned the win in a complete game for
Athens, striking out six and allowing two runs on
seven hits and ﬁve walks.
Tyler Tillis led the Marauder offense, going
2-for-2 with a double. Wyatt Hoover singled once
and drove in a run, Smith and Cox both singled
once and scored once, while Helton and Bryce
Swatzel had a single apiece in the game.
McCune led the Bulldogs with a double, a run
scored and an RBI.
Meigs committed both of the game’s errors.
MHS left nine runners on base, three more than
AHS.
After hosting Nelsonville-York on Friday and visiting Philo on Saturday, Meigs will have a chance
to avenge this setback, as the Marauders travel to
Athens on Monday.

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Just another

won 23 of its last 28 decisions against the Green
and White, including six
of the last nine postseason meetings between
the programs over the
last three years.
The Lady Knights —
who never trailed in the
contest — built a 1-0
lead in the bottom of the
second as Jordan singled
home Madilyn Keefer
with two away in the
frame, then Swain delivered a two-out single that
plated Kelsey Price in the
third for a 2-0 advantage.
WHS, however, struck
back in the fourth as
Faith Gaylor tripled in
Mackenzie Hale for a 2-1
deﬁcit, then Naomi Jarrell singled home Gaylor
to knot things up at two
apiece.

Pacers stun LeBron, Cavs
CLEVELAND (AP) —
LeBron James ﬁgured he
had experienced everything in 12 postseasons.
Turns out, there was
something new.
Victor Oladipo scored
32 points and Indiana
outplayed Cleveland
from the start while pulling off a stunning 98-80
victory Sunday in the
series opener, handing
James and the Cavaliers’
their ﬁrst loss in the
opening round in eight
years.
It also was the ﬁrst
playoff-opening loss for
James, who came in 12-0
in Game 1s and didn’t
realize he had been
perfect starting the postseason.
“Is it?” James said.
“I’ve never lost a game
in the ﬁrst round before
in my career?
But while he knows
the narrative before
Wednesday’s Game 2
will be on the struggles
of Cleveland’s playoff
newcomers, James isn’t
worried.
“I’m down 0-1 in the
ﬁrst round,” he said.
“I was down 3-1 in the
Finals. So, I’m the last
guy to ask about how
you’re going to feel the
next couple days.”
The Pacers are feeling
conﬁdent after beating
the Cavs for fourth time
this season.
Indiana took control
from the outset, opening
a 21-point lead in the
ﬁrst quarter and pushing
it to 23 in the third. The
Cavs got within seven in
the fourth, but Oladipo,
once a role player who
has blossomed into an
All-Star in his ﬁrst season with Indiana, hit a
big 3-pointer and Bojan
Bogdanovic helped put
Cleveland away with a 3
to make it 88-71.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kevin Love (0) drives to the basket against Indiana Pacers’ Thaddeus Young (21)
in the first half of a first-round playoff series Sunday in Cleveland. The Pacers won 98-80.

When the ﬁnal horn
sounded, the Pacers
didn’t celebrate or run
around the ﬂoor like
they had accomplished
anything special.
They calmly walked
off, business as usual.
“We believe that we
can win,” Oladipo said.
“We came into this game
with a mentality that we
wanted to attack on both
ends of the ﬂoor and
play the way we’ve been
playing all year, and we
did a great job of that.
It’s only one game, it’s
only Game 1.”
The Pacers completely
outplayed the three-time
defending conference
champions, whose turbulent regular season
has carried over into the
playoffs.
James scored 24
with 12 assists and 10
rebounds for his 20th
career triple-double. But

James got little help as
Cleveland’s four other
starters — Kevin Love,
Jeff Green, Rodney
Hood and George Hill —
combined for 25 points.
“They were more
aggressive,” James
said. “They just played
inspired basketball and
they just took advantage
of everything we wanted
to try and do. They were
more physical than us at
the point of attack, and
they were most precise
with what they wanted
to do and we couldn’t
score the ball.”
Cleveland went just 8
of 34 on 3-pointers and
missed eight of 20 free
throws.
The Cavs’ playoff
theme is: “Whatever It
Takes.”
Well, it’s now going to
take a ﬁrst-round comeback.
This is all new to

No respect
Oladipo said Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert
provided him with extra
motivation, citing his
offseason remark that
Indiana should have
received better talent
from Oklahoma City in
return for Paul George.
“You could say it added
fuel to the ﬁre,” Oladipo
said. “I’m aware of what
he said. Can’t control his
opinion.”

Tough but Fair!

James, who had won 21
consecutive ﬁrst-round
games and lost a postseason for the ﬁrst time
in his 13th playoffs. The
33-year-old is trying to
get to his eighth straight
Finals, and already the
path is tougher than
imagined. Cleveland had
won 14 straight ﬁrstround games, last losing
on April 22, 2010, the
last season of James’
ﬁrst stint with the Cavs.
Indiana was swept by
Cleveland in last year’s
opening round. Those
Pacers, though, didn’t
have Oladipo or the balance of this Indy squad,
which may lack experience but not conﬁdence.
Lance Stephenson, a
longtime playoff nemesis
for James, helped set the
tone in the ﬁrst quarter
with a dunk he punctuated by throwing several
punches into the padded
basket stanchion
The Pacers took the
ﬁght to the Cavs, and
Indiana’s players are
battling critics who say
they can’t compete with
Cleveland.
“We were deﬁnitely
mad,” Stephenson said.
“They still don’t believe.
We’re just going to keep
proving everyone wrong
and play together.”
While some fans are
getting their ﬁrst look at
Oladipo, the Pacers have
seen this before.
“On this team, we all
know what Victor can
do when he steps on the
court,” Thaddeus Young
said. “You’ve got to double-team him because he
makes good decisions
with the basketball.
When you don’t, you
saw what he’s capable
of.”
Game 2 is Wednesday
night.

Banged up
Hill sustained a
bruised back when he
was hit from behind on
a screen by Indiana’s
Trevor Booker. Cavs
coach Tyronn Lue said
Hill’s back bothered
him after halftime and
he was forced to play
James at the point. Lue
expects Hill to be good
for Wednesday.
Cavs forward Kyle
Korver played just four
minutes because of lingering foot soreness.

CENTENARY, Ohio — It was a close encounter
on the diamond between two county rivals.
The River Valley softball team held a 5-4 lead
entering the bottom of the sixth inning in Saturday afternoon’s non-conference contest, but the
host Blue Angels rallied for three runs to earn a
7-6 victory at the Eastman Athletic Complex in
Gallia County.
The Lady Raiders (3-4) charged to a 1-0 advantage in the ﬁrst frame, when Baylee Hollanbaugh
led of with a double later scored on a two-out
error off of the bat of Skylar Jones.
The Silver and Black tacked on three additional
runs in the top of the second, as Kasey Birchﬁeld,
Sierra Somerville and Kaylee Tucker each scored
in the inning to extend the lead to 4-0.
Gallia Academy (8-1) cut the deﬁcit to 4-1 in
the bottom of the second, by way of a solo home
run off of the bat of Rylee Sipple.
The Blue and White knotted the contest at 4-all
in the third, as Alex Barnes, Hunter Copley and
Chasity Adams provided runs by way of two hits,
a hit by pitch and an error.
River Valley regained the lead in the top of the
sixth, as an error by GAHS allowed Birchﬁeld to
reach with no outs. Birchﬁeld scored two hitter
later, when Tucker provided a one-out RBI single
to put RVHS ahead at 5-4.
The Blue Angels countered in the bottom of the
sixth, as Malerie Stanley reached on an error and
Allie Young followed with a walk. Aubrey Unroe
was next and loaded the bases with a hit.
Alex Barnes provided the go-ahead hit with oneout, as she singled to drive in all three base runners and stake Gallia Academy to a 7-5 advantage
entering the ﬁnale.
The Lady Raiders threatened in the top of the
seventh, as Jones led of with a single and scored
when Isabella Mershon followed with a single to
cut the deﬁcit to 7-6.
Gallia Academy however retired Mershon in an
attempt to advance to second and closed out the
inning with no further runs to earn the one-run
victory.
Copley recorded the pitching win for the hosts,
as she allowed six runs on eight hits, with three
walks and one strikeout. Copley also recorded one
hit, one RBI, and scored a run in the contest.
Barnes led the Blue Angels at the plate, as she
collected two safeties, three RBI, and scored once.
Unroe and Sipple concluded the hit totals for
the home team with one apiece, respectively.
Airika Barr suffered the loss for RVHS, as she
surrendered seven runs, ﬁve hits, with two walks
while striking out two hitters in six innings of
work.
Hollanbaugh, Tucker and Jones led the way for
the visitors, as each provided two hits, one RBI
and one run scored.
Barr and Mershon rounded out the hit totals for
the Lady Raiders, as each ﬁnished with one safety
apiece. Birchﬁeld and Somerville concluded the
offensive totals for RVHS with two runs scored
and one run scored, respectively.
Both clubs committed three ﬁelding errors in
the contest, while River Valley stranded seven
base runners to four left on base by the Blue
Angels.

Calvert scores in OT,
Blue Jackets up 2-0
on Caps in series
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sergei Bobrovsky
looked as poised facing 58 shots as he did before
the game when he calmly walked down the hallway in a buttoned-up beige trenchcoat.
On the ice, Bobrovsky stood out even more.
The goaltender with a history of playoff struggles
looked like his two-time Vezina Trophy-winning
self in making 54 saves as the Columbus Blue
Jackets beat the Washington Capitals 5-4 on Sunday night on Matt Calvert’s overtime winner to
take a 2-0 lead in the ﬁrst-round playoff series.
“He’s our best player and he was our best player
by a mile tonight,” said Calvert, whose one-handed rebound 12:22 into overtime sent the Blue Jackets into a frenzy. “It makes us conﬁdent. When
you’ve got him making up for your mistakes, it’s
always good. He’s been doing it all season.”
The playoff version of Bobrovsky of years past
was a confounding nightmare compared to his
elite play during the regular season: 3-10 with a
3.63 goals-against average and .887 save percentage. Through two games this year, the second of
which coach John Tortorella called “one of the
best goaltending performances” he has seen, the
reserved Russian has stopped 81 of 88 shots to
send Columbus home for Game 3 Tuesday in a
place it’s never been before.
The Blue Jackets had never led a playoff series
until Thursday night. With “Bob” locked in like
never before in the Stanley Cup playoffs, they’re
two victories away from advancing to the second
round for the ﬁrst time in franchise history.
“I would say your career is a journey and you
learn some things here and there,” Bobrovsky said.
“It doesn’t matter what’s in the past. When we’re
gonna play third game, it doesn’t matter what happen tonight. Each moment is huge right now, and
you just have to be ready.”
