Gonzales that the state must now prove the purity of mixtures which may contain cocaine, this provides a new set of challenges for southeast Ohio justice ofﬁcials in drug dominated areas. Because the Ohio Revised Code does not deﬁne cocaine to include a mixture, the Ohio Supreme Court has deemed prosecution must now prove the exact amount of cocaine in a substance regardless of what might be considered ﬁller or “cut” within criminal justice procedures. “I’ve spoken with prosecutors from big and small counties to determine how we’re going to get a handle on this,” said Holdren. “We will give dealers our top priority in prosecution as we negotiate our resources and move forward.” According to Gallia County Prosecutor Jason Holdren, when law enforcement discovers a substance which may potentially contain cocaine, it is sent to either the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation Chemistry Division or the Ohio State Highway Patrol Crime Lab. Both are considered the primary state-funded labs used in the prosecution of drug cases. Neither lab at this point in time is capable of performing “purity testing.” The amount of drug involved in a criminal case often determines its felony level as well as sentencing Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Meigs High School students Cole Durst and Dillon Mahr were recognized by the American Legion on Friday for their scores on the Americanism and Government Test administered annually by the American Legion to Ohio high school students.

What about state or local government? Questions about those and other topics were part of the Americanism and Government test which is administered each fall to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors across the state of Ohio. The American Legion has administered the test each year since 1936. The test is comprised of 50 questions, plus an essay question. All students across the state answer the same essay question, which this year was on the topic of what can be done for everyone to respect each other.

Just after 9 p.m. on Friday evening, a white male allegedly entered the gas station, with a weapon, and is alleged to have been threatening and demanding money. The suspect was wearing a dark hoodie with a logo on the back which can be seen in the photo, as well as a cover over the face. The suspect is believed to have a tattoo on his right hand between the thumb and index ﬁnger of a small design, according to a post by the Meigs County Sher- shawley@civitasmedia.com across the state, with a male and female winner selected in each grade level.

A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 5A Weather: 6A way back home after a 49-year journey. During last month’s Silver Bridge Memorial in Point Pleasant, W.Va., the dedication plaque to the Silver Bridge, long missing, was revealed. It was given by an anonymous donor to the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center. The dedication plaque was originally placed on the bridge in May 1928. Jack Fowler, director of the Point Pleasant River Miranda Wood | OVP — Jack Fowler, Jack Fowler standing next to the dedication plaque that was Point Pleasant River donated to the River Boat Musuem. Museum Director Museum and Learning Center said, “This plaque was a dedication plaque for the old Silver Bridge. It was mounted on the West Virginia side of the bridge. No one had any idea what happen to this plaque though after the bridge fell.” Fowler had some theories on what might have happened to the plaque before the previous owner acquired it. “I am just so happy that the person who donated it was the one who eventually owned the plaque,” Fowler explained. “I feel very thankful to be able to display it at the museum. I am sure there are many other places that might have wanted it and the donor thought of us and knew the importance of the plaque being in a place that could be open to the public and for display. We were very pleased to receive this plaque here at the River Boat Museum.

The increase is set to take effect Feb. 1 should council not approve the ordinance on Sunday. Past inﬂation rates have been set at 3 percent, and Clerk Sue Baker said 4.75 percent is a high end inﬂation number and mostly due to fewer customers, but added the rate could come back down in the future if the customer situation changed. Pomeroy resident Randy Smith asked the council a series of ques- tions about the future of the water/sewer management, which propagated a lengthy discussion. Prior to adjournment, and as a follow up to Smith’s questions, council person Victor Young asked additional information be provided by the water department in a future meeting — whether some customers received a credit to their water bill, and what procedure was used to determine eligibility if that occurred.

Plaque From page 1A long time ago.” The donor of the plaque started talking to Fowler in hypothetical terms about what the museum would do with a plaque if donated. Fowler explained to the donor that he would love to have something like that and he wished something was available to them similar to the plaque. The eventual donor of the plaque said, according to Fowler, “I know where it is.” “And before you know it, I was staring at it in the back seat of their car,” Fowler said. Fowler called the donor on the day of the annual Silver Bridge Memorial Service to see if he would be able to display the plaque for the memorial service. The donor revealed on this phone call that he was going to donate the plaque to the museum. “I told them that we were having the memo- Sunday, January 29, 2017 3A rial service today and I would like to have it today if possible…so, they brought it to me and donated it to us,” Fowler said. So just as the bridge fell on Dec. 15, the plaque was returned to Point Pleasant on that same day. “We are very grateful to have this plaque because preservation of historical pieces is part of what we do here at the river museum and sharing these artifacts with our community, but when you can get something that is of this historic nature, it is incredible,” Fowler said. “We have a physical piece of that time in history. This plaque really tells a story.” Fowler said: “We took an easel out the night of the memorial service and placed the plaque almost exactly where it would have been at originally. Forty nine years later, we received the plaque and returned it home.” In addition to the plaque, the river museum has one of the most extensive archives helped pushed the project that was completed in one year and opened to trafﬁc in 1928.

When visiting with Josephine, we discovered she was only two years younger than my late grandmother and they were practically neighbors growing up. As Josephine put it, “She (my Nannie) lived on the right side of Lieving Road going out, and then they built a new house and moved to the left side.” I did not know this. Isn’t it funny when someone tells a story about our departed loved ones, it’s like they’re in the room again with us, if only for a moment? Josephine also told me she’d kept Nannie’s obituary that ran in the Beth Point Pleasant Register in 2004. In Sergent fact, she said she made a habit of Editor, OVP keeping obituaries. I didn’t know people did this but a few days later, I found another senior citizen who had the same sort of “collection” that is equal parts sentimentality, equal parts historical archive. As a reporter, I’ve read, and typed, a lot of obituaries. In the last few years, I’ve noticed some people under the age of 50 dying with no cause listed. Typically, if someone dies young or relatively young (50 is the new 40, right?), the obituary states a reason, like “cancer” or some unforeseen twist of fate, such as a car accident, or ﬁre, or undiagnosed medical condition. More and more, there are people dying before their time with no reason listed in their Much like death and obituary, though for some, there is a reason taxes, opioid abuse no one wants to put seems to be the in writing. Drug overgreat equalizer in doses and opioid deaths these communities, are becoming common in the tri-county area. at least for now. I’m not breaking some big story by telling you this, but I will tell you what I heard and saw in just one day as your editor covering the drug issue. On Thursday, I stopped by the Point Pleasant Police Department to pick up information on a drug bust where 25 bags of alleged heroin weighing 3.99 grams, was seized in a home along the main road through the city. While I was at the police station, I watched as an ofﬁcer and police secretary, carefully placed a container of used needles into a bag for transport to Pleasant Valley Hospital for safe disposal. The needles had been collected over a period of time from around the city. For a moment, I thought of those needles laying around like grotesque leaves piled against an old house nobody lives in. While at the Point PD, Mason County Sheriff Greg Powers stopped in, as did Gallipolis City Police Chief Jeff Boyer. I was struck by how, despite being from different states, all were having the same conversation about how to deal with the drug issue. This was another example of the tricounty region being basically the same place with different zip codes. Powers spoke about his deputies possibly carrying Naloxone, a drug that blocks opioid overdose symptoms, in the near future. Boyer talked about how his ofﬁcers already have it, using it on calls. During this same conversation, PPPD Chief Joe Veith told me carfentinal, a synthetic opioid meant to tranquilize elephants, has appeared in Point Pleasant. I looked it up, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), carfentanil is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin. When it comes to heroin and people getting a bad batch of it, it was a quote Veith gave me a couple of years ago that sticks in my mind: “There’s no such thing as a good batch of heroin.” Later that same day, I attended my ﬁrst Gallia County Chamber of Commerce Meeting and Awards Banquet as editor of Ohio Valley Publishing. Field of Hope Community Campus Executive Director Kevin Dennis was given the Bud and Donna McGhee Community Service Award. Dennis is active in the recovery community and spoke to those at the banquet about the necessity of tackling the drug epidemic in southeast Ohio. Prior to Dennis being presented with his award, my colleague, reporter Dean Wright, received an email from the ofﬁce of Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin that a drug bust involving suspected heroin had occurred. Just as the awards were about to be presented, Dean and I were sitting at our Gallipolis Daily Tribune table, putting up the story from our chairs and smartphones; letting the community know that two people from Bidwell and one from Racine in Meigs County, had been arrested. As the story began to gain trafﬁc on our Tribune Facebook page, Dennis told those at the banquet: See SERGENT | 6A THEIR VIEW Local history: Vital part of us Reading about the upcoming relocation of the Gallia County Historical Society to a site across from the Gallipolis City Park prompts some thought that an organization like the GCHS is a necessary ingredient in the community. Why, you may ask? Because without a historical foundation to reference, how can we look forward? No doubt there are those individuals who would plan for the future without consideration of the past. But by forgetting where we came from and how our communities originated, we ignore the qualities that make our area unique. The GCHS is moving from a historic location in Gallipolis’ downtown that once housed the Davis-Shuler Co. retail operation to a site that also serves as a reminder of the community’s heritage. “With this day and age, nonproﬁts are having a hard time making it,” GCHS volunteer Mary Lee Marchi said. “So we felt it was time to downsize.” The organization may be moving into a smaller space, but the treasures to be found within are not diminished.

At the close of his 1901 study of Gallipolis’s early days, “The French Five Hundred,” William G. Sibley quoted a future president, Woodrow Wilson, in summing up the signiﬁcance of looking back: “A spot of local history is like an inn on a highway: it is a stage upon a far journey: it is a place the national history has passed through.” Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years, resides in Vinton, Ohio.

I’ve seen it individually and I’ve seen it in the community. I think someday the state of Ohio is going to look at this little pinhole in southeast Ohio and say ‘Wow. It started down there. Now we know how lives can be changed.’” I hope he is right about Him and us. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not picking on Mason, Gallia or Meigs counties in this piece. This epidemic is everywhere and knows no boundaries. Much like death and taxes, opioid abuse seems to be the great equalizer in these communities, at least for now. As Dennis pointed out, the ﬁrst of the 12 steps is admitting there is a problem. It should also be noted that when someone talks about our departed loved ones, though it feels as if they’re in the room with us for a moment, they’re really not. Sometimes I wonder what people in the future will think, when looking through Josephine’s obituary collection from these last few years. Will they think there was a plague that claimed so many?

Wahama scored the opening bucket of the second half, cutting its deﬁcit to six points, at 28-22, with 7:43 left in the third. Eastern then held possession — without a single shot attempt — for nearly ﬁve minutes, before ﬁnally calling a timeout with 2:56 left in the period. After the timeout, the Eagles scored six straight points, extending their lead to 34-22 with two minutes left in the third. “I thought maybe they’d get a little relaxed and maybe get on their heels a little bit, but to their credit they didn’t,” Wahama head coach Ron Bradley said. “It was a six-point ball game and I thought if we could get to the fourth quarter with a six-point game, then we’ve got a chance.” Wahama ended the third period with a 6-to-2 run, cutting the deﬁcit to eight points, at 36-28, headed into the fourth quarter. The White Falcons gave it a go in the fourth quarter, putting up baker’s dozen shots including seven trifectas. However, WHS — which was 6-of-6 from the line in the ﬁnale — made just one of the 13 ﬁeld goal tries, and came up empty Wahama sophomore Jacob Lloyd (30) shoots a layup in front of Eastern’s Jeremiah Martindale (20) during Friday night’s EHS victory, in Mason. from deep. Meanwhile, Eastern went 5-of-7 from the ﬁeld in the fourth, and sank 7-of-8 free throws. Wahama never came closer than eight points in the ﬁnal quarter, as Eastern sealed the 53-36 victory. “No one has ever faulted these kids for effort, we gave 100 percent effort here tonight,” Eastern head coach Jeremy Hill said. “I think we caught Wahama.

Lady Eagles wallop Wahama, 65-19 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — It was certainly decisive. The Eastern girls basketball team simply controlled every aspect of the game, on Thursday night at ‘The Nest’, as the Lady Eagles claimed a 65-19 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Wahama. Eastern (16-2, 12-1 TVC Hocking) never trailed in the win, beginning the night with a 10-0 run. Wahama (2-14, 0-11) scored its ﬁrst points of the game with 2:18 left in the ﬁrst, but the Lady Falcons went scoreless over the remainder of the ﬁrst quarter. EHS — which didn’t commit a turnover in the ﬁrst eight minutes of play — ended the opening period with a 11-0 run and a 21-2 lead. The Lady Eagles pushed their lead to 28-2, three minutes into the second quarter. Wahama ended the cold spell with a two-pointer at the 4:07 mark, but EHS scored the next 10 points and led 38-4, with one minute remaining in the quarter. The Lady Falcons scored the ﬁnal four points of the second period and headed into halftime trailing 38-8.

In the fourth quarter, we got too passive on offense, and a few of the shots we did take were maybe forced or weren’t exactly there. We’ve had quarters like the fourth quarter all year, so it’s not the ﬁrst time, but a lot of that had to do with River Valley’s defense.” According to Drummond, his Raiders — which drained a halfdozen treys including four from McCarley, got complacent on offense. He also credited the Golden Rockets, which were just as up to the task defensively as River Valley was. “We came out and played well early in the and recorded the game’s only two blocked shots.

Then some of our offenses that normally work weren’t working against them. They (Golden Rockets) obviously play hard defense too,” he said. “They did a good job on Dovenbarger, and we didn’t get many transition points. We are normally close to 20 points in transition points per game, but tonight I’d say we were 10 or less.” While the transition points weren’t there on Friday, the three-ball and free throws were. Layne Fitch found the range twice from deep, and McCarley meshed all four of his foul shots in the fourth. Dovenbarger, on three ﬁeld goals and 2-of-4 freebies, dropped in eight points — while Dustin Barber bagged two buckets and Patrick Brown hit two thirdquarter free throws. Both clubs crafted a pair of spurts, as the Raiders erased an early 7-4 deﬁcit with 10 unanswered points. Wellston went scoreless for four minutes and ﬁve seconds, then strung together its own 6-1 run over the next 4:35. The Raiders then responded with nine more unanswered over the next 2:45, taking a 24-16 lead after back-toback threes by Fitch and McCarley. That set up the Rockets’ 13-2 spree, which was then countered by the Raiders’ game-ending 10-3 burst — over the ﬁnal eight-and-a-half minutes. With the win, River Valley raised its record to 7-11 — and 2-6 in the TVC-Ohio. “This was the ﬁrst close game we’ve won all year,” said Drummond. “And tonight was a 24-point turnaround from when Wellston beat us up there, so we’re playing better. An ugly win is always better than the other option.” The loss left Wellston with a 3-12 mark, and a 1-7 tally in the division. Simpson, on three ﬁeld goals and 3-0f-4 second-half foul shots, paced the Golden Rockets with nine points. Daivon Newell netted four ﬁeld goals for eight, while Henry hit for three baskets for six. Mike Graham, with a pair of trifectas, and Hunter Whalen — with a deuce and a trey — rounded out the Wellston scoring.

This movement doesn’t involve marches but roller skates. Roller derby has made a comeback in the last couple of years, even here in the Ohio Valley with the Silver Bridge Bruisers team. The team held its first informational meeting in July 2015 and its first official bout last February in Huntington against the Poison Apples. Heather Blazer, of Gallia County, Ohio, is the team’s founder and coach. Blazer said the team is comprised of around 15 skaters who live in Gallia, Meigs and Jackson counties in Ohio and Mason County, W.Va. The team practices every Monday night from 6-8 p.m. at the armory in Point Pleasant, W.Va. and has an “all skates” practice from 6-8 p.m. every Wednesday at GDC in Gallipolis, Ohio. Both are open to the public and anyone can show up to find out more about the team or becoming a part of it. Blazer said she never saw herself as someone who would try out for a roller derby team let alone coach one. She started out as a team member for the Appalachian Hell Betties team in Athens, Ohio, and then moved on to found the Bruisers. If you’ve ever wanted to shove someone out of the way but didn’t want to get yelled at, roller derby may be for you. Of course, the main component to roller derby is confidence, whether it comes before, after or during a career in the sport. “It’s (roller derby) very empowering,” Blazer said. “You’ll see people come in and be meek and mild, like I was…roller derby gives you confidence and you realize your body is something important. You can use your body to knock people down… your body isn’t something you hate anymore because it’s your tool, it’s your weapon.” Blazer said it’s rare to get a person who tries out for the team who can skate well right from the “get go.” She said, most people haven’t skated since adolescence but there is a starting place for all skill levels for those who want to try out for the team. “Anyone can be a good skater if you just stop being afraid,” Blazer said. There is also a place for everyone in roller derby, whether on the team, referees or non- Photos by Beth Sergent | Register The Silver Bridge Bruisers take on the Appalachian Hell Betties at a scrimmage held last weekend at the armory in Point Pleasant.

Right now, what the Bruisers need, is a home. They have been Doing battle to block, and free, the jammers. and there’s not enough room for a large audience. Blazer said the team, — Heather Blazer which carries its own liability insurance, recently booked the armory in Millwood, W.Va., for a “home bout” Sept. 30 where unsuccessful in finding bleachers will be availa place to host home able.

Blazer said bouts are also being set for May and June and explained, roller derby doesn’t necessarily have a set “season” and the Bruisers pick up bouts where they can. The only month they plan to take off this year is August, she said.

She said, joining the team is also a good way to get physically fit. “It’s really physically intense,” she said. “People get in the best shape of their lives.

It’s so common that nearly all sexually active people will have it at some point in their lives. In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems. But when HPV does not go away, it can cause genital warts and cancer. Almost all cervical cancer is caused by HPV. The virus has also been linked to cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and throat. The Appalachian Community Cancer Network (ACCN) reports that from 20082012 1,157 cancers were attributed with HPV in Ohio. Incidence and mortality rates are higher in Appalachia Ohio (our area) than Ohio as a whole. These disparities are largely attributed to differences in factors related to HPV such as multiple sexual partners, having a partner who has had many sexual partners and starting to have sex at an early age (< 16 years of age). We have had the chance to prevent cancer since 2006 (when the HPV vaccine was introduced). The HPV vaccine is cancer prevention, and per the CDC, works “extremely well” providing close to 100% protection against cervical precancers and genital warts. There has been a 64% reduction in vaccine-type HPV infections among teen US girls. Studies have shown fewer teens are getting genital warts and cervical pre-cancers are decreasing. HPV vaccines prevent infection by certain types of the virus, but they work best if they are given before an infection occurs. This is why the American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends it for girls and boys ages 11 to 12 – because the vaccines produce the strongest immune response at this age, and because most children at this age have not yet become sexually active. Research has shown that getting the HPV vaccine does not make kids more likely to be sexually active or start having sex at an earlier age. This is also an age when children still will be vaccinated. 3. be seeing their HPV vaccination is doctor regularly also recommended and getting other through age 26 school-required for men who have vaccinations such sex with men and as Tdap and meninfor people with gococcal.

The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is looking for community leaders to assist with facilitating its Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self-Management Classes. Community, or lay, leaders will continue to support the classes in their individual communities after they complete training through the AAA7. An upcoming training is scheduled in Chillicothe beginning February 15th for those individuals who are interested in serving as a lay leader in their community. The AAA7 covers ten counties in southern Ohio, including Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Self-management programs for people with chronic conditions and diabetes are designed to help those with chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis and diabetes, learn to manage their conditions and take control of their health. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) and Diabetes Self-Management AAA7 | Courtesy Pictured are, left to right, Vicki Woyan and Vicky Abdella, RN, with the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7), who both serve as Master Trainers of the local Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self-Management Classes sponsored by the AAA7. A Lay Leader Training Course will take place in February for those interested in supporting the classes in their community by serving as a facilitator. Program (DSMP) was created at Stanford University and is a proven community initiative that provides health beneﬁts and promotes disease prevention. CDSMP and DSMP are six-session workshops that meet once a week where participants learn how to minimize symptoms such as fatigue, pain, stress and depression. It teaches skills for communication, managing medications, better breathing, and how to design your own selfmanagement program. The program focuses on the participants’ role in managing their illnesses and building their conﬁdence so that they can be successful in adopting healthier behaviors. Workshops are highly interactive, where workshop leaders, as well as group members, provide sup- Wedding Announcement “Patricia Ellen Taylor and Michael H.

To expand this evidence-based program, the AAA7 is looking for individuals to become trained lay leaders. Lay leaders are volunteers who typically have chronic conditions or diabetes themselves and conduct workshops using the prepared curriculum. They complete a training program where they are mentored by master trainers. An essential element to these six-session workshops is that they are held in community-based settings, such as senior centers, faith-based organizations and libraries, with most led by certiﬁed and trained lay leaders rather than medical professionals. The upcoming Lay Leader Training will take place in Chillicothe February 15, 16 and 17 and February 23 and 24. The training will take place from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day at the Ross County Senior Center, located at 1824 Western Avenue in Chillicothe. Those who are interested must attend all ﬁve days in order to be certiﬁed to lead the programs. Attendees will be provided with in-depth information needed to conduct the workshops and receive the materials at no cost. As all workshops are designed to be facilitated by two trainers, it is strongly suggested that you bring someone with you that you prefer to lead the classes with you. A pre-screening is required of all applicants who express an interest in serving as a lay leader. For more information about registering for the lay leader training, please call Carla Cox at 1-800528-7277, extension 284, or Breanna Williams at extension 247 no later than February 8th.

There is no data suggesting HPV vaccine will have effect on future fertility for women. In fact, getting vaccinated and protecting against HPV-related cancers can help women and families have healthy pregnancies and babies. Not getting the HPV vaccine leaves people vulnerable to HPV infection and related cancers. Treatments for cancers and pre-cancers might include surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation which might cause pregnancy complications or leave someone unable to have children. Unfortunately, Ohio’s HPV immunization rates fall well below the national target. In an effort to increase HPV vaccination rates amongst Meigs County youth aged 11-17 years of age, the Meigs County Health Department (MCHD) is partnering with The Ohio State University (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center via a project named “I Vaccinate.” The MCHD believes in the HPV vaccine’s safety and efﬁciency; therefore, it recommends that parents vaccinate their sons and daughters against HPV early to provide them with the immunity needed before exposure occurs. In fact, MCHD nurses who are parents of age-appropriate teens already have vaccinated their children against HPV. The MCHD offers the HPV vaccine every Tuesday from 9-11AM and 1-3PM on a walk-in basis or other weekdays by appointment. Through the Vaccine for Children Program, we help families of eligible children who might not otherwise have access to vaccines. The program assists children aged 18 years and younger who are uninsured, who have Medicaid, or are American Indian/Alaska Native. We also offer the vaccine to children/young adults who have healthcare insurance coverage. We can work with the Merck patient assistance program to immunize those residents aged 19-26 who are uninsured and income eligible. Contact your child’s physician or the MCHD at 740-9926626 for more information or to determine eligibility. FROM THE BOOKSHELF National ‘Take Your Child to the Library’ Day writes plays.
