Since 1989, the cleanup for the Ohio River and its tributaries brings thousands of volunteers to the riverbanks to remove tons of trash and debris. River Sweep encompasses the entire length of the river, from its origin in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to its end in Cairo, Illinois, including nearly 3,000 miles of shoreline and many tributaries. The Ohio River Sweep is an event organized by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, an interstate water pollution agency for the Ohio River Valley, along with environmental protection and natural resource agencies from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. In Meigs County, the Pomeroy and Racine sites are organized by the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

This is set to change this summer as a result of federal regulations. The managed care tax went into effect in 2009 under then Gov. Ted Strickland, with medicaid expansion later increasing the ﬁnancial beneﬁt over recent years from the tax. Now, the federal government says that the services can no longer be taxed, resulting in an approximate loss of $900 million to the state and more than $200 million to local governments. Over the past several months, commissioners and others around the region and the state have expressed concern over the ﬁnancial impact to local governments from the tax loss. Smith was in attendance for the ﬁnance committee hearing on Wednesday when Montgomery, as well as ofﬁcials from Medina and Cuyahoga counties testiﬁed, and was invited by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio to submit written testimony which was read in the hearing on Thursday. Smith was unable to attend that hearing due to the weekly meeting of the Meigs County Commissioners. Smith’s testimony reads, Last summer when we were ﬁrst made aware of the full impact the loss of the MCO sales tax would have on Meigs County we were shocked to say the least. Over the last several years Meigs County, like all counties across the state, have been faced with challenges.

In 2012 the board of commissioners made the difﬁcult decision to enact a 0.5% increase in our sales tax. While this was not a decision that was taken lightly, it was out of absolute necessity that it happen. In the few years leading up to the decision to increase the sales tax, Meigs County was actually at a place where we had to prioritize bills based on disconnect notices. Advances had to be taken on real estate settlements to make payroll and there was a genuine concern that layoffs would occur to an already thin workforce. Once collection began on the new sales tax things seemed to begin to level out. While this move didn’t put Meigs County into a perfect world, the need to worry about making payroll or paying utility bills wasn’t the concern it once was. Over the past four years our ofﬁce holders and department heads have worked hard to stay within our means and run Meigs County in the most efﬁcient way possible. Our elected 60722031 felony of the ﬁfth degree; possession of drugs (cocaine), a felony of the ﬁfth degree; trafﬁcking in drugs (cocaine), a felony of the ﬁfth degree; and possession of drugs (cocaine), a felony of the Sunday Times-Sentinel ofﬁcials most often work 40 plus hours per week to keep from having to hire additional staff and it was in 2015 that we were able to ﬁnally bring our hardworking employees to at least $10.00 per hour. Up until then we had many making $9.75 per hour or less. In 2015 Meigs County collected $20,647,626.00 in total sales tax. $574,302.00 of that (or 21.7%) revenue came from the MCO sales tax. The MCO portion of our revenue is nearly 10% of our total operating budget. This includes crucial services like EMS and the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. There is no way for the general fund to absorb that kind of cut without it resulting in a cut to these and other services. Normally our county sees no more than two deputies on per shift as a part of normal day to day so you can see how this loss of revenue will cripple budgets across the board and leave us more vulnerable than we already are. With the opiate epidemic plaguing communities across the state operating expenses, inmate housing, and manpower needs are on the rise with no end in sight. While the county doesn’t subsidize many ofﬁces or programs we work with a few that will almost have to cease if we lose this revenue. Our county extension ofﬁce (4-H program),our economic development ofﬁce and our soil and water agency to name a few. Our economic development ofﬁce for example is made up of two employees. A director and his administrative assistant. We provide $75,000.00 and our CIC provides $75,000.00. They are instrumental in bringing business and funding for other projects to the county. Honestly, they do the work of dozens and we pull it off with two. We are not afraid to share services and partner up agencies to be more effective. Meigs County has done that as a way of life for decades. We understand that the state stood to lose millions of dollars because of this revenue loss. Seeing the administration ﬁnd a way to make the state whole and not the counties was really discouraging. These funds truly are a life line for our county. They aren’t used to create a slush fund or pad salaries and beneﬁt packages, it truly is how we survive. If we are to pave the way for a prosperous future for Meigs County then we have to have stable revenue. Please consider amendments and/or options that will equally make the counties and transit authorities whole like the state. We have learned of an amendment that Senator Dolan has presented that we urge you to support. According to the CCAO, Sen. Matt Dolan (R-Chagrin Falls) has submitted an amendment that would increase the franchise fee on managed care plans in order to provide counties and transit authorities with the $207 million per year they stand to lose with the elimination of the sales tax. Sen. Dolan said local governments have lost a lot of revenue from different streams, and this would be one more. “It’s a big, huge blow. If we lose this, it’s been a constant attack on local governments,” he said. “I’m for low taxes. I’m for low state taxes and low local taxes, but they can’t be lowered anymore.” A budget must be approved by the end of the current ﬁscal year on June 30. ﬁfth degree.

Unlike the more sideshow-level productions dealing with ghost-or-monster-ridden sites all over the U.S. (a decade-old and rather garish TV program dealing with the one-time lunatic asylum in Athens comes immediately to mind), “The Mothman of Point Pleasant” offers a more rational approach, leaving room for skepticism as well as belief in the occurrences linked to Mothman. The documentarians’ understanding of Kevin the subject was explored by Ohio Valley Publishing Editor Beth Sergent Kelly Contributing in a May 7 feature of this publication. columnist More importantly, as part of the “Small Town Monsters” series created by Breedlove and his associates, the ﬁlm succeeds in spurring some thought about how Mothman has become integral to the history and culture of our corner of the world. Not just as a tourist attraction or item of interest in the realm of the fantastic, but in how a community takes the attention in stride and can support a museum dedicated to the possibly other-worldly visitor to our shores of the Ohio River. There are some folks who think the Mothman sightings are a hoax or a result of mass hysteria connected to reports of UFO activity in the Ohio Valley during the mid1960s, but what is impressive is how the sincerity of the people who experienced encounters with Mothman plays with the curiousity of those discovering the Mothman story for the ﬁrst time. Bill Geist of CBS-TV’s “Sunday Morning” was one whose journalistic tendency to scoff at such stories was tempered after he met some of the witnesses during his visit to the second Mothman Festival in 2004. These were not people who made up stuff just to get attention or try to cash in on the phenomenon in some way, Geist indicated, so therefore their credibility was unquestionable. And another, of course, was author John A. Keel, whose investigation of the being with wings and red eyes resulted in his famous account “The Mothman Prophecies,” ﬁrst published in 1975. My ﬁrst inkling of Mothman came around Halloween in 1978 through a story in The Post, Ohio University’s student newspaper. The article was written by Frank Stanley, whom I later discovered had been an OVP reporting intern that summer. Because the interns worked at all three of the company’s papers at one point or another, usually when someone was on vacation, Frank might have picked up on Mothman while sojourning at the Register. He may also have gotten wind of it through then-OU journalism faculty member Roger Bennett, who as an assistant editor at The Athens Messenger, wrote some of the early accounts of the Mothman sightings. Like Keel, who confessed in his book to an enduring “childish sense of wonder” at all things strange and unusual, I was fascinated by Frank’s credulous and carefully-presented story and by subsequent accounts I read before I walked the streets of Point Pleasant the following summer and asked myself, how could anything so incredible have happened here? And while I have yet to arrive at an answer, I have concluded that Mason County has come to accept the strange occurrences and encounters that commenced in November 1966 and continued for the next 13 months. Perhaps the greatest manifestation of that detente between the people and the legend of Mothman exists in the statue in Point Pleasant’s downtown created by the late Bob Roach of Letart and unveiled in 2004. “For me, this story is a piece of Point Pleasant’s history whether or not they (people) want to believe (in Mothman) or not is totally up to them,” Breedlove told Sergent for her feature. “You can’t deny it was a part of the town’s history.” Indeed, as then-OVP staffer Bryan Long concluded in his review of the ﬁlm version of “The Mothman Prophecies” at its local (and, need I add, sold out) showing in 2002, the ﬁlm meant something to us “because it is about US.” (I thought the movie was terrible and a disservice to Keel’s book, but that’s just my opinion). The point is, the legacy of Mothman is part and parcel of this area and of our understanding of such a phenomenon, whether you’re born, raised and resided here all of your life, or a newcomer such as myself. So while the mystery of Mothman continues to intrigue us, ﬁlms like “The Mothman of Point Pleasant” help us understand our curiosity all the more through facts, statements and re-creations of events leading up to its ﬁrst appearance and afterward. As the ﬁlm’s creator has said, there’s no doubt something happened all that time ago. It’s what we make of the evidence at hand that carries more signiﬁcant weight when making up our own minds. Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years, resides in Vinton, Ohio. You knew it was coming. You felt it with a sickening certainty the instant news of a mass shooting ﬂashed out from Alexandria, Virginia. So it was disheartening, but hardly surprising, to hear certain conservatives reﬂexively blame Democrats and their so-called “hate speech” for the carnage. It happened Wednesday morning. The quiet camaraderie of Republican lawmakers practicing for a charity baseball game against their Democratic colleagues was shattered by riﬂe shots from one James Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois. Police ofﬁcers providing security returned ﬁre. When the shooting was done, ﬁve people were wounded, including two ofﬁcers and Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), whose injuries were critical. Hodgkinson, a 66-yearold left-winger and former supporter of Bernie Sanders who was apparently motivated by hatred for Donald Trump and the GOP, was mortally wounded.

That may be changing now. It’s a deeply disturbing idea, suggesting as it does a nation ever faster pulling itself apart, a people riven by irreconcilable differences, a country that isn’t even sure it wants to be a country anymore. These tired games of political one-upmanship are too small for such a moment. This moment is for soul-searching, for considering who and what and even if we are, as Americans. It is for wondering what it means when baseball is not safe and being a Republican gets you shot. Nothing less than our national identity and ideals are at stake here.

THEIR VIEW Time to listen to conservative women A debate over whether it’s more difﬁcult to be a conservative or a woman in the United States no doubt ﬁts into the category of “ﬁrst-world problem.” Neither is very hard in comparison to, say, life on a rice paddy. But the “which is tougher?” discussion is nonetheless hot after remarks by 24-year-old conservative ﬁrebrand Tomi Lahren during the opening session of a Young Women’s Leadership Summit. She is among the headliners at the conservative event, which runs through Sunday in Dallas. Lahren said Thursday night that it’s not hard to be a woman in the U.S. In fact, “there’s no better place to be a woman than the United States of America,” she said. Actually, a lot of researchers would disagree. The 2017 Best Countries report, with its impeccable methodology, lists Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Canada as its top ﬁve for women; the U.S. comes in at No. 16. But I believe her comments regarding the difﬁculty of being a conservative — in particular, a conservative woman — need to be taken seriously. They give voice to an important perspective. Lahren said young women often tell her that “one of the hardest things to be is a conservative.” She and her followers have standing that I don’t to make that assessment. While I am solidly to the right of many of my Dallas Morning News colleagues, no one would say I have much conservative cred. vigilance around But my circle Sharon President Donald of close friends, Trump’s every family and acquain- Grigsby Contributing move, something tances includes columnist they don’t believe nearly as many they saw when conservative President Barack women as liberal Obama was in the White ones.

And, like Lahren, this Several of my guests Dallas woman thinks were more interested in discussing what they see being a conservative — as a much bigger problem even worse, she says, a young conservative in the media: a hyper- woman — is dreadfully difﬁcult. And never more so than during the 2016 presidential campaign. She might have wished for a different Republican nominee, but she voted for Trump in a heartbeat over Clinton. And like my older friends, don’t try arguing with her about Trump’s behavior toward women. Two words: Bill Clinton. And while she has well-reasoned responses to those who might challenge her point of view with attacks such as “feminism is failing because of you,” she prefers to just stay out of those conversations. These are all women who might not have broadcast that they were Trump supporters, but who, in the voting booth, voted Republican. The members of my informal conservative focus groups are overwhelmingly middleincome, maybe uppermiddle in a few cases. They’ve not lived with privilege, but rather known the realities of women as second-class citizens: passed over for a job, harassed in the workplace, sexually assaulted. Yet at the end of the day, they would agree that being a woman is not as difﬁcult for them as being a conservative. So Lahren’s not crazy on this issue. Not even hyperbolic. She’s speaking for a lot of the women around us. Until liberals can honestly have conversations around this fact, I fear we will continue to be surprised by these “closet voters.” Sharon Grigsby is a columnist for The Dallas Morning News. �WEATHER/NEWS 6A Sunday, June 18, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS panied by a parent/legal guardian.

Not much was known about the team that featured players from former arch rivals Middleport and Pomeroy, and along with Rutland, what was known was that the SEOAL featured perennial powers from Athens, Gallipolis, Logan and Jackson. At the helm of the young team was a young college coach named Charles Chancey, which the new school now called Meigs snatched from Marshall University. Chancey was no stranger to the area as he led Pomeroy to a 26-12-2 record from the years of 1960-1964. But what lied ahead for the maroon and gold was still a question mark. Would the three schools, including two ﬁerce rivals, be able to mesh into on unit during the few short weeks of practice under the hot August sun? On September 8th, fans packed the natural bowl football ﬁeld nestled in the hollow just off Main Street in Pomeroy. The opponent wasn’t just any team, it was the Wahama White Falcons, a school that sat just at the end of the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge in West Virginia. The White Falcons had played their three Ohio neighbors a total of 73 times over the years, so it wasn’t like they were strangers. The Marauders defeated Wahama 20-0 for the school’s ﬁrst win. After a 36-0 win over the Fairﬁeld School for Boys, Meigs played its ﬁrst game on the road against the powerful Athens Bulldogs. Athens had a long conference winning streak, so the young Marauders had their backs against the wall. It was a contest that longtime Marauder fans still talk about as Meigs had a goal line stand late in the contest and nearly drove the length of the ﬁeld to stun the standing room only crowd after defeating the Bulldogs 12-8. The next week the Marauders rolled in to Gallipolis to upset yet another team 8-6. Meigs defeated Logan 14-8 and Wellston 14-6. The young Marauders were 6-0 on the season and lost their only game an 8-0 contest to Ironton in a non-conference encounter. Meigs then traveled to power Jackson and put one of the worst beatings on the Ironmen in recent history 50-14, to clinch a tie for the SEOAL title. Another of the conference’s newly consolidated schools rolled into town in week nine. The Marauders had no problems with Nelsonville-York defeat the Buckeyes 28-0 to do what many 10 weeks before was the impossible clinch the 1967 SEOAL football crown. Meigs ended their season the next week defeating Parkersburg South 36-0 to ﬁnish the season at 9-1. That ﬁrst Marauder football team will be honored on Friday, August 25, when the Marauders open the 2017 season at home against Gallipolis … as the Meigs football family celebrates the team’s 50-year anniversary. Efforts have been made to ﬁnd addresses for members of that team, but of course after 50 years it is tough to do. If you played, or know the addresses of the players on that team please contact assistant coach Jeff McElroy at 740-416-9631. Freshman players on the team will be honored as well. The 1967 team will be honored at the game and will serve as honorary captains for the Marauders. Other surprises for the ceremony are expected. Please RSVP to Coach McElroy before August 1, if possible, with a number of tickets needed for the game. And please try and come and reminisce in the ﬁrst year of Meigs football. Dave Harris is a sports correspondent for Ohio Valley Publishing. Warriors fans celebrate, with expectations of more to come OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Even from six rows back, 9- and 10-yearold brothers William and Rizal Cahambing were not going to miss a chance to see their favorite Golden State Warriors player, Stephen Curry, as he rode atop a double-decker bus during Thursday’s parade to celebrate the team’s latest championship. The brothers took turns climbing on top of a water cooler to see over the crowd and jumped with delight as Curry’s bus went by. With talk of the team being an NBA power for years to come, the brothers and other kids may grow up in an era of Warriors dominance that could make this year’s celebration a regular occurrence — although not one that takes place in Oakland much longer. The Warriors are headed to San Francisco, where they broke ground this year on a new arena slated to open in 2019. Oakland is also losing one of its other beloved teams, the Raiders, to Las Vegas, and the city is still reeling from a police scandal and mourning a deadly warehouse ﬁre. So Thursday was a rare chance for the city to celebrate. “Curry, look over here,” William screamed as the two-time NBA champion lifted up the championship trophy in his direction. William and Rizal’s father, Ray Cahambing, said it was unfortunate Oakland was losing the Warriors, “but the diehard fans” would make the trip across the Bay to San Francisco to see the team. Warriors players on buses passed Cahambing and his family twirling T-shirts over their heads and waving to the crowd as blue and yellow confetti rained down. Curry rode with his wife and kids beside him. He got off his bus and hopped and shouted as he gave high ﬁves to the crowd. NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant rode on a different bus with his mom. “I was expecting more,” coach Steve Kerr told KTVU-TV, joking about the size of the crowd. Kerr said he was proud that the team “came back from the heartbreak of last year.” The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals last year and lost the title to the Cleveland Cavaliers after posting the best regular-season record in NBA history. “I remember exactly where I was this time last year, and it wasn’t a great feeling,” Curry told the crowd at a rally after the parade. “But everything that we went through as a team, individually, as an organization makes this day so much sweeter.” The Warriors went 15-1 in this year’s postseason, with sweeps in the ﬁrst three rounds before beating LeBron James and the Cavaliers in ﬁve games in the Finals. “We’ve overcome a lot of doubts,” said Tulio Zelada, 28, a San Francisco resident who attended the parade. He described himself as a Warriors fan since elementary school. The parade wound through downtown Oakland before the rally near Lake Merritt. Warriors forward Draymond Green appeared to take some shots at the Cavs. Green wore a T-shirt that read, “Quickie,” with the “Q” styled to mimic the logo on the Cavs’ Quicken Loans Arena, which is referred to as The Q. Green told NBC Bay Area that the shirt reﬂected the Warriors’ quick win over the Cavaliers. At the rally, Green mocked James’ contention that James had never played for a super team. Green said James had started the super team concept. James teamed up with All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat to win his ﬁrst championship in 2012.’ The Warriors have been dubbed a super team with the addition of Durant. The impending loss of the Warriors to San Francisco was on the minds of some fans who came out to cheer, though many threw the word “dynasty” around and expected one more championship parade in Oakland next year. “Oakland represents all of us,” Kerr told KTVU. “You’ve got people of every race, color, religion, creed, whatever, and everybody’s just coming together and loving this team.” Runnels of Fairland made Gracie Riley* (HM), Ali Honorable Mention, as Waller (HM) Conwell was a repeat to ROCK HILL (10-4): Jill that level.

The Dodgers beat the Reds 3-1. Garrett’s status cloudy as Browns wrap up minicamp CLEVELAND (AP) — Myles Garrett missed the ﬁnal practice of Browns’ minicamp. It’s still not known when he’ll be back. The No. 1 overall draft pick was kept off the ﬁeld Thursday with a left foot injury that is still being examined. The team had been expected to provide an update on Garrett, but the only new development is that he’s still undergoing evaluation. Cleveland wrapped up its three-day mandatory minicamp with questions still looming about Garrett’s status. Coach Hue Jackson did not meet with the media and none of his assistants commented on Garrett’s condition. Garrett, who has been slowed by an unspeciﬁed injury this spring, got hurt Wednesday while rushing quarterback Brock Osweiler during a two-minute drill late in practice. He crumpled to the ground and was in obvious distress while being checked by a trainer and Jackson. Garrett did not return to the ﬁeld, and after the practice was moved inside because of thunderstorms, he limped into the team’s facility. He was not spotted while his teammates worked out Thursday. The 21-year-old Garrett was limited by a severely sprained left ankle during his junior season at Texas A&M, but still recorded 8½ sacks. Despite the injury and a knock that he coasted at times, the Browns selected him ﬁrst and signed him to a four-year, $30.4 million contract. He’s been as advertised during OTAs and minicamp, displaying quickness off the ball and all-around athleticism. “Myles is everything we expected,” defensive line coach Clyde Simmons said. Garrett seemed to be grasping everything the Browns were asking him to do and Simmons said it was tough to see a player of his caliber get hurt. “You don’t want to see nobody get hurt at any time and any place,” he said, “but it’s one of those things that football has injuries, so we just have to keep going and the next guy has to come up and step up and play.” McDonald’s ends Olympic sponsorship deal By Eddie Pells the IOC’s top-tier program, McDonald’s signed a contract extension in 2012 that was The Olympics and McDon- reportedly worth about $200 ald’s used to go together like million.

Shining a light New history illustrates Rio’s march through time By Kevin Kelly Special to the OVP The college was not founded here in answer to a conscious need of its constituency. It owes its existence rather to the desire of its prosperous founders who wished to devote their wealth so that it would be of the greatest possible service to the people of their neighborhood. The neighborhood was previously unacquainted with a college and its ideals. During its early years the task of the leaders of the college was to interpret such ideals to the community. — Perry Daniel Woods, “The First Fifty Years of Rio Grande” (1926) RIO GRANDE — For more than 140 years, higher education has been brought to scholars both local and out-of-state through the ofﬁces of the University of Rio Grande/ Rio Grande Community College, which handed out diplomas to over 400 students during its most recent commencement ceremony in May. There was a time in the early days of Rio Grande College, as it was known until the latter part of the 20th Century, when the number of graduates was greatly smaller; the campus, its educational offerings and student life limited to a small cluster of buildings; and a feeling of closeness akin to family that made the institution as special a place then as it is today. Evolution of Rio Grande from its found- Beryl Halley (1897-1988) An RGC student in 1916, she later became one of the first women to enlist in the U. S. Navy, appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies three seasons (1923-1925), Earl Carroll’s Vanities (1926), the musicals Half a Widow (1927), Tangerine (19211922), and the silent motion picture, The Broadway Boob (1926). Tangerine was a hit that starred Jackson County native Frank Crumit, and his future wife Julia Sanderson. ing on Sept. 13, 1876, is detailed in the recentlypublished “University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College,” part of the Campus History Series of Images of America books issued by Arcadia Publishing of Charleston, S.C. Its authors are veteran Rio Grande faculty members Jacob L. Bapst and Dr. Ivan M. Tribe, whose devotion to spotlighting the institution’s heritage goes beyond having their names on the book. Indeed, Bapst, who has been serving as a volunteer in Rio Grande’s archives, and Tribe, professor emeritus of history and author of other diverse works, are available for presentations on the university’s background and willing to talk to anyone with an interest in everything Rio Grande. Bapst recently A common widespread fad among collegians in the mid-decades of the 20th century was trying to determine how many students would fit into a telephone booth. RGC students were no exception. The 1962 photo shows five inside and a sixth on top. Not only has this fad faded away, but telephone booths are rare as well. The gravestone of Clarissa Davis (1837 – 1910) in Calvary Cemetery has become the center of Rio Grande’s greatest legend. First mentioned in a 1930’s Grandian as “a trip to the Virgin” and seen here in a full page of the 1950 Grandian, Rio students have dubbed her “The Weeping Virgin.” In actuality, Clarissa Davis was married and had four children. Whatever the reason, a trip to visit “The Weeping Virgin” is a ritual still followed by students, and some faculty members. announced that starting the week of June 12, Rio Grande’s Archives, located on the third ﬂoor of the Esther Allen Greer Museum, will be open to the public on Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Images of America books, which have covered numerous communities and places around the country, are primarily known for a wealth of local history preserved through photographs. The new volume on Rio Grande, which became locally available on April 10 at the university’s bookstore, follows this format closely with introductory remarks from Tribe and pages of photos and illustrations selected by Bapst from the archives, many not seen in some time. “Another sidelight to this was that I was took over as a volunteer archivist,” explained Bapst, who commenced work on the visuals in July 2016 soon after he and Tribe signed a contract with Arcadia and proceeded to meet the publisher’s three-month deadline to complete the work. Tribe is co-author with project originator Jordan Pickens on the Images of America history of Meigs County. How did it all come about? After Tribe and Bapst collaborated on the Arcadia “Images of America: West Virginia’s Traditional Country Music” that appeared in 2015, Tribe learned of the Campus History Series and pitched the idea of a Rio Grande study to the company. Tribe also co-authored (with Abby Gail Goodnite) the more exhaustive campus history “Rio Grande: From Baptists and Bevo to the Bell Tower,” commissioned on the occasion of the school’s 125th anniversary and published by the Jesse Stuart Foundation of Ashland, Ky., in 2002. Arcadia accepted the proposal, which became a labor of love for the educators.

From a Washington D.C. baseball ﬁeld to terroristic threats from “over there,” we are in trying times. Homeland security has never been more necessary. We, as a nation, deﬁne threats, propose solutions, and then cut necessary budgets. We have a strong air force, but to what good do those mega-million dollar planes do for an attack on a D.C. baseball ﬁeld? But enough conjecture. Let’s look and see what we can do. Emergency response planning and preparation (for today, P&P), on a local level, is a little more involved. The bigger the picture, i.e., local-tostate-to federal, the more general the P&P.

On July 2, 1929 three Rio Grande students Ralph Brown, Elbert Oder, and Fred Hamrick embarked on a round the world trip. After going to San Francisco by car, President Bartlett arranged for them to work as deckhands on the Dollar Lines ship President Van Buren.

Rio Grande was known to the world as a college until 1989, when it declared itself a university in conjunction with Rio Grande Community College, which came into existence in 1974. By then, Rio Grande had earned and maintained accreditation as a degree-granting institution. The Bernard V. Fultz Center for Higher Education at Rock Springs opened in 2008 to serve the needs of Meigs County residents. An off-campus site was established in 2010 in the old Vinton County High School at McArthur and is now housed in a new structure. A Jackson center near opened in January of this year. An offshoot of the research conducted by the authors has resulted in an article on the life and career of Beryl Halley, a native of the Gallia County river community of Bladen who attended the school in 1916. The article, “From Bladen to Broadway: Rio Grande’s Forgotten Ziegfeld Girl,” details how Halley, one of the ﬁrst women to enlist in the U.S. Navy, appeared in three seasons of Florenz Ziegfeld’s “Follies” from 1923 to 1925 and in the 1926 season of Earl Carroll’s “Vanities,” in addition to a pair of musicals and at least one silent movie. She died in 1988. Since its release, the book has been snapped up by Rio Grande alums and interested parties and is a part of the curriculum for the university’s Gateway to Success program. Bapst also plans to include the book in the speech class he will soon teach, which he said is to be his last in summer instruction at Rio Grande. Bapst, a 1975 graduate of Rio Grande, taught for more than a decade in public schools and joined the university’s faculty full-time in 1990, recently retiring from the community college. Tribe began teaching part-time at Rio Grande in 1976 and became a full-time history instructor the following year. Both have donated all royalties from the book to Rio Grande, Bapst to the McArthur Center he oversaw in recent years, and Tribe to the history department. Kevin Kelly, who was employed at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College from 1987 until 1994, resides in Vinton, Ohio. On September 24, 1983, Ohio State’s legendary ex-football coach Woody Hayes visited the RGC campus to inaugurate the L. A. 101 and speaker series in the new Berry Fine Arts Center.
