Driver indicted
following January
fatal crash
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The
driver of the vehicle
involved in a fatal
single-vehicle crash earlier this year has been
indicted by a Meigs
County grand jury for
his alleged role in the
death of his passenger.

POMEROY — The Village of
Rutland will not be able to complete the sale of the former bus
garage property at this time, after
a ruling on Thursday in favor
of the preliminary injunction
requested by the Meigs County
Commissioners.
The ruling by Visiting Judge
Dean Evans came following last
Friday’s hearing the case in which
Meigs County Prosecutor James
K. Stanley represented the commissioners, with the Village of
Rutland represented by attorneys
Richard Clagg and Rusty Miller.
In the entry ﬁle stamped
Thursday, Evans writes, that
based on the evidence, the court
ﬁnds that the commissioners
“should be granted a preliminary
injunction, enjoining defendants,

their agents, or employees from
selling, transferring, or otherwise
conveying the subject property.”
According to court documents
and testimony at the hearing, the
village had entered into an agreement to sell the property where
the old bus garage is located to
Dollar General.
Referring to the property in
question as the “Old Bus Barn,”
Evans writes that the underlying
claims for relief in the case are for
breach of contract, together with
a request for speciﬁc performance
regarding certain real property
situated in the village.
The commissioners contend
that the property, while it was
not deeded to the county, is part
of the water and sewer department which the county took over
by way of a contract approved
in 2012. Prior to that time, and
after the county took over the

system, the building was utilized
as a storage facility for equipment
and parts for the sewer and water
system.
Evans stated in the entry that
evidence presented in the case
showed that on or about April
26, 2012, the village of Rutland
agreed to transfer ownership of
the village’s water and sewer systems along with all assets, debts,
right of ways, easements and permits to the commissioners, who in
turn agreed to pay off and satisfy
certain loans with regard to the
system.
“Allegedly, included in the
assets to be transferred to the
commissioners was a certain tract
of real property upon which a
building, commonly referred to as
the ‘Old Bus Barn’ stood, which
was used for storage of equipment
and supplies by the village in

Richard Barnhart Jr.,

Blessing Box coming to Pomeroy
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — A
Blessing Box will soon
be coming to Pomeroy.
Local residents Scott
and Mary Warner
approached the Meigs
County Commissioners
about placing a Blessing
Box on property near the
courthouse, something
that was unanimously
approved by the commissioners.
After discussion, the

commissioners approved
locating the box in the
grass area between the
courthouse and the sheriff’s ofﬁce as the location
would be easily accessible to people, but also
be in a location where it
can be monitored.
Scott Warner told the
commissioners that the
box would be something
for the community,
allowing for everyone to
get involved, whether
placing items in the box
or taking the items they

need.
The box is a way of
“showing the love of
Christ to the community
of Pomeroy,” said Scott
Warner.
The box will not be
afﬁliated with a speciﬁc
church or organization,
but will be for everyone
in the community to get
involved, said Warner.
“It is people helping
people,” said Warner.
“Take what you need,
leave what you can,” he
said is a sign commonly

seen on the boxes.
Where the blessing
box provides a a different service than food
pantries and similar
services, is that it is
available 24 hours a day,
and may also serve those
who are not always willing to ask for the help
they may need.
He will be building the
box which will then be
mounted and placed in
the area beside the courthouse.

POMEROY — Teaming up for
the beneﬁt of the communities.
Two years after partnering for
the ﬁrst time on the Ohio Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP), Gallia and
Meigs counties will once again be
partnering on the grant application for the program.
Gallia County Commissioners Harold Montgomery, David
Smith and Brent Saunders, along
with Gallia County Administrator Karen Sprague, met with the

Meigs County Commissioners on
Thursday as part of the regular
meeting for the Meigs County
board.
Sprague explained that the
counties were once again eligible
for the CHIP grant, with the application due the ﬁrst Friday in May.
The partnership between the
counties worked well in 2015,
according Sprague and the Meigs
County Commissioners.
The counties can each apply for
up to $450,000 in funding, meaning a combined $900,000.
In 2015, according to previous
Tribune reports, the partnership

was awarded $675,000.
After discussion on the program, the Meigs County Commissioners unanimously approved
once again partnering with Gallia
County on the application.
The application will be handled
by Sprague, with public meetings to be held in each county in
advance of the application deadline.
The 2015 grant and housing
programs were distributed by the
Gallia-Meigs Community Action
Agency. Grants are available for
low-income households that are
owner-occupied or for ﬁrst-time

but as he had not had the
indictment for 24 hours
he is being brought back
to court on Friday afternoon for arraignment.
He stated that his attorney from Warren County
is to be in the area to
meet with him on Friday
as well.
Smith has been free
on bond since appearing in county court after
initially being arrested in
his case. A warrant was
issued for his arrest on
the indictment according
to Prosecutor James K.
Stanley.
While the cases
against the two are not
connected, the allegations against both men
have been similar.
Morger was arrested
in mid-January in Middleport after allegedly
driving there from the
Cincinnati area to meet
an 14-year-old girl to
engage in sex. The disseminating charge relates
to Morger allegedly
sending a picture of his
genitalia to a 14-year old
female, while the importuning charge falls under
the classiﬁcation as law
enforcement posing as
the 14 year old whom
Morger allegedly thought
he was soliciting for sex.
Likewise, Smith was
arrested in Jan. 6 outside
a residence where he was
allegedly going to meet
at 13-year-old in order to
engage in sex.
The Family Violence
Unit, School Resource
Division along with help
from the Meigs County
Children’s Services,
began the investigation
after learning that Smith
had allegedly been communicating with the
13-year-old via social
media.
Deputies reportedly
discovered that Smith
had allegedly sent pictures of his genitalia, as
well as solicited the 13
year old on several occasions.
Morger remains held
on a $100,000 bond as
he awaits arraignment
on Friday. Morger is also
being held on a warrant
from Warren County on
a probation violation
which was ﬁled on Jan.

Morger previously
pleaded guilty in Warren
County to possession
of marijuana, attempted
illegal manufacture of
drugs, and child endangering. According to a
report from the Warren
County Prosecutor following the case, while
executing a search
warrant to investigate
charges of dissemination
indecent material, the
Clearcreek Township
Police Department discovered that Morger was
manufacturing hash oil
from marijuana. Morger
was sentenced to a total
of three years in prison.
According to reports
in the Dayton Daily
News at the time Morger
pleaded guilty in the
case, charges of possession of criminal tools,
disseminating material
harmful to juveniles, trafﬁcking in marijuana and
possession of drugs were
dismissed.
According to the
article, the case against
Morger began during an
investigation into an allegation of sexual abuse
between a boy under the
age of 16, and girl under
13, who met at school in
Springboro, according
to police. The boy was
ultimately sentenced
to detention on a rape
charge.

Evans also notes that
although the property
was never deeded to the
commissioners the village had a survey done
around March 26, 2014,
and the electric had been

transferred to the commissioners.
When the county
learned that the sale of
the property was anticipated to take place in late
January, the motion for
a preliminary injunction
was ﬁled, rather than
a breach of contract or

other action.
As for what happens
next, Stanley said he
would be meeting with
the commissioners before
determining the next
step in the matter.

A HUNGER FOR MORE

‘I am the vine;
you are the
branches’
Among Christians,
there is often a lot of dialog regarding God’s gifts
to us. His spiritual gifts
to us are those things
of course that produce
spiritual fruit for Him
and increase our joy in
Him. Other types of gifts
include expressions of
His providence, protection, and empowerment,
not to mention at times
those ways that God
moves at times in regard
to healing or supernatural helps.
For some, heaven is
the greatest gift they can
think of and, similarly,
eternal life
is what
some have
decided
is God’s
greatest
gift to us
and look
Thom
to
Mollohan forward
the
day
of
Contributing
no longer
columnist
having
any pain
or sorrow, but also a
happy reunion with family members who have
passed on.
But the greatest gift
that God has given us is
none of the above… not
even the gift of eternal
life (if by “eternal life”
we mean ceaseless existence or even a happy
here-after in heaven).
No, the greatest gift that
He has given us is the
gift of Himself in the
person of Jesus Christ,
the Son.
First, there is His condescension in becoming
a man and then living
among us. Consider what
Jesus gave up in donning
human ﬂesh: the glory of
heaven, the unveiled fellowship with His Father,
and the awesome authority that was His. There
is also His laying down
of His sinless life at the
hands of those for whom
He came to love. He
knowingly and willingly
gave Himself to those
who meant to kill Him
and silence His invitation
for love to all people, no
matter their background.
But there is even more
to it than this. The giving of Himself to us is literal and ongoing, meant
not only for those who
happened to live in the
days of His earthly incarnation, but for all who
have lived since and for
those who live today.
In other words,
Almighty God offers
HIMSELF to us and
desires that we come
to Him and experience
Him. Even the “perks” of
eternal life (John 17:2-3)
are tied to our coming to
Him: no one can enter
heaven or be accepted by
the Father except those
who come through Jesus
Christ (John 10:1, 28;
14:6). Nor can we have
any assurance of God’s
blessings apart from
coming to Him through
God the Son.
“…Christ… in Whom
are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge” (Colossians
2:2-3 ESV).
In Jesus are hidden all
the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge that illuminate dark moments of
life’s doubts, empower
us when we have run out
of encouragement, and
reﬁne our character so
that we reﬂect the Person
of Jesus into a world that
has rejected Him thereby
depriving humanity of
the hope and healing that
only He can give.

“As a Christian, do
not underestimate
the value of
spending time alone
with God.”
As a Christian, do
not underestimate the
value of spending time
alone with God. The
urgent and vital work of
daily seeking Jesus in
prayer and in meditating on His Word is the
only source of nourishment that can keep your
spiritual life healthy and
functioning as it ought.
Too much of the time,
a person’s “Christian
life” is relegated to his
experience in worship
services (stirring music,
moving messages, etc.)
or service activity (e.g.,
helping out on a church
work day or volunteering
on a church committee).
While not denying that
such functions are necessary, the value of such
external expressions of
faith are directly related
to whether or not we
have personally come
to God as well, seeking
His love, correction, and
empowerment for our
own individual lives.
The world needs the
presence of Jesus to
counter the degrading
effects of self and sin.
The Church needs the
power of Jesus to maintain a voice with enough
credibility and authority
to make a difference. The
individual child of God
needs the person of Jesus
to unlock the provisions
of God in practical experience.
This is why, of course,
we come in the name
of Jesus Himself as we
approach God the Father
through prayer, having
cast off the rags of our
old identities as sinners
and are wrapped in the
white robes of righteousness that Jesus’ sacriﬁce
affords us. It is through
Jesus that we can expect
God to hear our petitions
and it is through Him
that we can have any
degree of conﬁdence that
He will answer them.
Some may scoff at our
trust in the Lord to hear
us, and some may ridicule our belief that God
will answer, but we know
that for us individually,
as well as our families,
churches, schools and
communities, the victory in life that we crave
is secured only through
devoted occasions of
personal prayer. Such
prayer produces in us the
character and faith necessary for our worship to
be meaningful and our
service to be fruitful. But
it pleases our God also to
move the mountains in
our lives, provide for our
needs miraculously, and
at times calm either the
surging storms that beat
upon us or the surging
storms that beat within
our hearts.
“I am the vine; you
are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and
I in him, he it is that
bears much fruit, for
apart from Me you can
do nothing” (John 15:5
ESV).

exciting gift to share with
her.
But, herein lies the
spiritual consideration
that involves each of us.
It is true that the Bible
describes God’s relationship with Israel in terms
of marriage. And, there
were times when God
challenged Israel about
their willingness to continue their relationship.
After all, marriage strongly evokes the image of
consistent commitment,
and one-ness, and fellowship. No less is expected
in our relationship with
the Lord.
Also, the New Testament relationship between
Jesus Christ and the
people of the Church is
described in like manner. Jesus Christ is the
groom, and the Church is
the Bride. In signiﬁcant
terms, the Lord also challenged the Church about
their willingness to continue a close relationship,
for the Lord pointed out
sharply in the Book of
Revelation, “I have somewhat against you, because
you have left your ﬁrst
love.”
Furthermore, consider
the challenge the Lord
put before Peter while
they were eating a meal.
During dining, the Lord

asked, “Peter, do you love
me?” With the question,
the Lord was challenging
Peter about his level of
commitment. Did Peter
love the Lord enough with
a strong desire to remain
committed?
By contrast, although
not worded with the same
terms, the question still
is presented to us by God
in point speciﬁc terms
through Scripture or by
the Holy Spirit, “Will you
stay married to me?” You
see, it is right and good
that we indicate to God at
times our intent be committed to Him, to be one
with Him, and to be in fellowship with Him.
All too often we regard
our association with God
like we regard marriage.
It is in name at best. But,
if life will experience
blessing, it will come from
having a continuing passion for our Savior. The
same holds true for our
spouses—-persistent passion for their lives with
you remains important.
On both accounts, the
question “will you stay
married to me” is both
pertinent and appropriate.
In the mean time, did
I wow Terry? How did
she react? What did she
answer? Maybe I will tell
you about it next week.

If this is true of the relationships between men, it
is even more true of our

God, and we know what the
solution to that problem is,

to affect that solution,…
the time to take care of the
problem is right now.
The Bible urges us,
“Today, if you will hear His
voice, do not harden your
hearts.” (Psalm 95:7b-8a)
Elsewhere, in agreeing
with this sentiment, we
are also told, “Exhort one
another daily, while it is
called “Today,” lest any of
you be hardened through
the deceitfulness of sin.”
(Hebrews 3:13; NKJV) And
again elsewhere, “For He
says: ‘In an acceptable time

the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation.”
(2 Corinthians 6:2; NKJV)
There is a certain emphasis on the immediacy of
our need to be saved and
reconciled to God. There is
an immediate need for us to
be in a righteous, obedient
relationship with God. It is
not a thing to be put off. If

we know to do it; the best
time is now
God wants a good relationship with us. He desires
it so strongly, He sent His
Son to die for our sins.
When we know what God
has done, we should also
know God is calling for a
response on our part, and
the right time to respond is
today.
We note, in Acts 2, when
Peter preached the Gospel,
he exhorted them, saying,
“Be saved from this perverse generation.” (Acts
2:40) We then read that
“those who gladly received
his word were baptized;
and that day about three
thousand souls were added
to them.” (Acts 2:41)
“That day” they were
saved because “that day”
was the day they obeyed.
Don’t put off doing the
right thing till tomorrow,
when you know to do it
today.

Lady Tornadoes trounce Green in sectional

semifinal game at Meigs High School. (Paul Boggs/OVP Sports)

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio —
Simply put, the Purple and
Gold had Green seeing red.
That’s because the Southern
Lady Tornadoes, by leading for
the game’s ﬁnal 28 minutes,
crushed the Lady Bobcats
66-28 on Wednesday night in a
Division IV girls basketball sectional semiﬁnal at Meigs High
School’s Larry R. Morrison
Gymnasium.
The Lady Tornadoes, over
the ﬁnal four minutes of the
opening quarter, outscored
Green 13-2 to stake a doubledigit advantage that remained
that way for the rest of the
night.
Southern led 17-7 following

the ﬁrst quarter and 30-17 at
halftime — thanks to a buzzerbeating basket by Faith Teaford.
In the third period, the
Tornadoes erupted for a 19-4
advantage — opening up a
49-22 bulge with a Lauren Lavender three-pointer.
The Bobcats’ only markers in
the stanza were a pair of Leslie
Gallion buckets — and they
came exactly ﬁve minutes and
20 seconds apart.
Finally, the Tornadoes had
a bookend 17-7 fourth frame
— which was punctuated for
the 66-28 ﬁnal on a basket by
Shelbi Bailey.
The ﬁnal tally was the Lady
Tornadoes’ largest lead of the
entire game.
With the win, Southern —

the sixth-seeded squad in the
Meigs sectional — raised its
record to 12-10.
More importantly, the Tornadoes return to Meigs High
School on Saturday for the sectional championship — and a
date with third-seeded Belpre.
It will be the third meeting
this season between the two
clubs — as both are members
of the Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division.
Tipoff time is set for Saturday at 2:45 p.m.
The Lady Bobcats ended
their season at 1-22, and said
goodbye to their lone senior
Kaylynn Blizzard.

Mustangs knock
out Raiders in OT
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

THE PLAINS, Ohio — As it turned out, the
Lady Raiders were not welcome to join Wednesday night’s free-throw parade.
Despite River Valley’s Erin Jackson pouring in a
game-high 28 points, the Lady Raiders could not
overcome the Westfall Lady Mustangs’ regular
trips to the foul line — as River Valley fell 65-57 in
overtime in a Division III girls basketball sectional
semiﬁnal at Athens High School’s McAfee Gymnasium.
By beneﬁting from the double bonus, ninthseeded Westfall scored 10 of its 14 overtime points
at the stripe, while the Raiders shot just one free
throw in the extra session.
As a result, the Lady Mustangs outscored
eighth-seeded River Valley 14-6 in the extra period
— as the Raiders saw a 49-46 lead with two-and-ahalf minutes remaining in regulation evaporate.
Westfall rallied with ﬁve unanswered points
over the next two minutes, and led 51-49 with 26
seconds to play.
The Lady Raiders did tie the tilt and force overtime at 51-51, but only got a pair of baskets from
Jackson and one from Cierra Roberts in the extra
four minutes.
The Mustangs made 10-of-16 free throws in
overtime for 62.5-percent, part of 24 charity conversions for the entire game.
River Valley only attempted 11 total freebies,
and sank seven including 3-of-4 by Jackson.
With the loss, the Lady Raiders end their long
season at 2-21 — with 17 consecutive losses to
conclude the year.
Westfall moved to 3-20, and will return to
Athens on Saturday for the Division III sectional
championship against top-seeded Alexander.
Westfall led 15-12 following the opening quarter,
then went into halftime ahead 29-20 on Maddie
Kitchen’s buzzer-beating three-pointer.
The Lady Raiders reduced the deﬁcit to 36-33
entering the ﬁnal canto, and had their highest
output with an 18-point fourth quarter to force
overtime.
The senior Jackson, on a dozen total ﬁeld goals
including a fourth-quarter three, concluded her
RVHS career with 28 critical points.
Jaden Neal notched nine on three baskets and

Green scored the ﬁnal
basket of the game on an
uncontested layup just

Jackson’s woeful 2-of-7
shooting effort down the
stretch.
It was the ﬁrst career
postseason win for MHS
coach Jarrod Kasun, who
acknowledged that the
winning formula was not
exactly what he had in
mind at the start. Nonetheless, the ﬁrst-year mentor was still more than
happy to accept the ﬁnal
outcome as it was.
“It’s not about how
you get there, but it’s all
about getting that win at
the end of the night. We
always tell our kids that if
you can hang around for
long enough when things
aren’t going well, you can
still make a run and have
things work out,” Kasun
said. “We had a lot of
good looks rattle in and
out in the ﬁrst half when
things weren’t going well
for us, but we started
ﬁnding a rhythm and the
shots started falling.
“I’m proud of the girls
and the resiliency they
showed tonight, especially on the defensive
side of the ball. We are all
very excited about having
another game to play in.”
The Lady Marauders
will now face top-seeded
Sheridan (19-4) in the
sectional ﬁnal at 1 p.m.

Saturday in Jim Myers
Gymnasium on the
campus of Logan High
School.
It’s the third time in
four years that Meigs has
won a postseason game to
get to the sectional ﬁnal,
but it’s also the ﬁrst win
in the Division II tournament for the program
since the early portion of
this decade.
The Lady Marauders
haven’t won a sectional
title in 17 years, and the
quest to end that streak
won’t be an easy task.
Kasun, however, is excited that his young troops
have the opportunity.
“Honestly, this win
was something that these
kids needed. We haven’t
won a sectional title since
2000 and there aren’t too
many postseason wins for
this program since that
season, so it really serves
as a boost for what we
are trying to do in raising
the bar for expectations,”
Kasun said. “I’m not saying that we are guaranteeing a win in the sectional
ﬁnal this weekend against
a pretty good Sheridan
team, but it is good for
our kids to at least be in
this situation. They’ve
earned it.”
Meigs outrebounded
JHS by a 30-27 overall
margin, including a 12-9
edge on the offensive
glass. The hosts also committed only one of their
six total turnovers in the
second half.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — They
say it’s difﬁcult to defeat the same
squad three times.
Well, don’t tell that to the Miller
Lady Falcons.
That’s because, after the South
Gallia Lady Rebels twice played the
Lady Falcons close, Miller made
sure Wednesday night’s round three
wasn’t at all.
The Lady Falcons led for the ﬁnal
30 minutes and 35 seconds, and
rolled the Lady Rebels 67-20 in a
Division IV girls basketball sectional
semiﬁnal at Meigs High School’s
Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.
South Gallia got on the board
ﬁrst — when Erin Evans splashed a
three-pointer from the corner just 40
seconds in.
But, as Newfound Glory once
sang, “it was all downhill from here.”
The Lady Falcons scored seven
consecutive points to lead 7-3, and
South Gallia’s only other points of
the entire opening quarter were
another Evans ﬁeld goal at the 5:07
mark.
