Gallia County Jr. Fair begins this Monday MIDDLEPORT — The splash park project that began last August was completed two weeks ahead of schedule to the delight of children in Meigs County. Opened July 25 and located in General Hartinger Park in Middleport, the recreation area resulted from efforts and cooperation between the Village of Middleport, Meigs County Commissioners, Meigs Health Department’s Creating Healthy Communities Project and the county grant administrator. In 2014, then-county grant administrator Denise Alkire and Mike Hendrickson, of the Middleport Village Planning and Zoning Department, wrote for and were awarded a $300,000 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant. The grant initiatives included replacement of playground equipment, sidewalk improvement, fire protection and equipment, and demolition of two structures. As a result of staff turnover, progress on the playground project was thwarted. Grant money has time constraints determined by the issuer and Middleport was approaching that deadline last August. The Meigs County Health Department’s Creating Healthy Communities coalition had begun planning for a splash park, but did not have a site or the needed funding of around $80,000 for the proposed center.

By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A familiar face will be stepping in to lead the Mason County Health Department. Jennifer Thomas, a nurse at the health department, has been selected by the Mason County Board of Health as the nursing director/ administrator of the Mason County Health Department effective Aug. 1. Diana Riddle, who currently holds that position, will be retiring next month. Thomas has been employed at the health department for nine years as a public health nurse. During that time, she has gained knowledge and experience in all areas of public health and the programs the health department offers, according to a statement released by Riddle. Thomas takes over as administrator during a difficult time, financially, for health departments across the state when it comes to available funding. With Riddle’s departure, this will leave only four staff members at the department. Despite some challenging times, Thomas seemed excited to be moving into this new position and said at the end of the day, one of her favorite parts of the job is, and will still be, working with the public. “I like educating people … to explain to people what we (at the health department) do,” Thomas said when getting to speak about public health issues, from teaching CPR classes to explaining the importance of immunizations. Thomas, after hav- Beth Sergent | Register Jennifer Thomas, pictured, a Mason County native and nurse at the Mason County Health Department, has been selected by the Mason County Board of Health as the nursing director/administrator of the health department, effective Aug. 1. ing been led by Riddle’s example over the years, plans to continue Riddle’s tradition of belonging to several organizations which promote health in the local community.

It’s true, Earl Wayne Long was a steadfast 6’2”, broad shouldered and plucked his shirts from a closet filled with flannel, so he came across as a mite rugged — in a Hollywood kind of a way. He was a fan of rolled-up sleeves, fishing, camping, fresh air and the sun on his face. An ever-present tan only added to his cinematic aura. Born Aug. 23, 1936, to Harry Long and Gladys Turner, Earl grew up happily wandering the countryside around Huntingtown Township in Gallia County, and graduated Wellston High School in 1953. Fibbing about his age so he could start work young, his first jobs included working at the local mill, the atomic plant and the railroad. Long after he left Ohio to join the Air Force, he still referred to himself with a smile as a “hillbilly.” A natural-born brainiac, he worked on complex navigation systems while in the service. After retiring from the military, he went on to become a systems engineer for Eaton-Kenway and Unisys, which brought him to Colorado, where he lived out nearly 40 years with the Rockies’ many trout-filled streams as his backdrop. That said, he was a Buckeye at heart and traveled back to Ohio as often as possible. Although some found Earl’s sturdy presence intimidating, truth be told he avoided confrontation, was known to gently remove snakes from the road so they wouldn’t get run over, cuddled with cats and small dogs when no one was looking, worked hard to transform weedy fields into luxurious, grassy lots so the children of the neighborhood had a safe place to play, made friends eas- ily, and maintained those friendships for a lifetime across great distances. People too big for their britches were his biggest pet peeve and homemade pie was the one thing not safe around him. Earl quietly passed in his sleep on Monday morning, July 18, 2016, in the comfort of his own bed in Pueblo. It was his way to leave nothing to chance, so clearly he planned and subsequently pulled off the ideal exit. At his own request, Earl’s ashes will be spread in Cimarron Canyon in northern New Mexico. There is a trout stream nearby, no doubt. Because he greatly regretted not being able to make it back to Ohio one last time, a portion of his ashes will also repatriate to his Appalachian homeland. Earl was loved by extended family and dear friends too numerous to list completely. His sister, Katherine Wickline, of Lorain, is his last remaining sibling. Earl’s other siblings included Martha Blazer, Edith Mitchell, Imogene Cambell and Charles Paul Long. As for immediate family, he may not have said it often enough, but he was terribly proud of his son, Terry Long, of Pueblo, Terry’s girlfriend Lisa Kastelic-Van Zandt and her daughter, Aspen, along with grandchildren Evan Long and Toree Long, and he kept up a close friendship with former spouse Carol Long. And then, of course, there’s me, his daughter, who lives in Providence, R.I., with husband, David Bettridge, and son Bix Long Bettridge. Although we all miss him greatly, we understand that he had a longawaited date to reunite with his much adored wife, Sandra McElrath, of Greeley, Colo. The two of them are likely holding hands and giggling in a corner of The Great Beyond right now. — Brook Long GALLIA-MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR Vacation Bible School celebration following the morning service; Pastor Bob Hood, Bulaville Christian Church, 2337 Johnson Ridge Rd.; 740-446-7495 or 740709-6107.

Laura Cleland, representing Creating Healthy Communities, also serves as the grant coordinator for the Meigs County Health Department. Her efforts landed a $25,000 Creating Healthy Communities grant, which comes through the Ohio Department of Health. Since the coalition had a plan in place for a park, $50,000 in unspent funds from Middleport’s Neighborhood Revitalization Grant were able to be reallocated by the county commissioners to fund the splash park. Additionally, a building to house the electrical controls was purchased by the health department’s Together on Diabetes grant for $1,195. Employees of the Village of Middleport stepped in and contributed labor in preparing the water and sanitary sewer lines. The project now had funding, but needed approval from the Village of Middleport on location.

Open annually from Memorial Day weekend until September 15 Hours of operation: 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily. At the moment there is no seating, so adults are encouraged to bring a seat or play with their kids in the park. Lorna Hart photos | Daily Sentinel representing the Middleport Development Group, presented the council with plans to locate the park on a piece of land adjacent to the old Middleport schools. The pair said this specific location was chosen because of its floodplain level and proximity to Middleport Village Hall/ police station. Initially, the concern brought forth by the council was that neighbors would not want the splash park in the area. At the Jan. 11 Middleport Council meeting, both King and Cleland returned with further research and approval from nearby residents. The pair told council they needed permission to put the park on the land, but that the village would still own the property and the park would be entirely funded, so the village would not have to pay for the expense. Council this time Progress was being made at the site, and it was time to pour the concrete for the splash park. voted unanimously in favor of the park. With obstacles behind them, the project’s supporters began to move forward with the selection of David Williams and Associates Inc. to design, plan and provide the necessary equipment. “Our whole goal is to increase access to recreational opportunities,” Cleland said at that time. “I’m really excited about the project.” Now completed, the splash park includes a Fill N’ Spill, Slash-O-Lator, Popp Dropp, Baby Long Legs, a Water Weave and Aqua Arch. “The park is user-friendly: by pushing a button, the water is activated and shuts off automatically after 15 minutes if no one is there, or users can push button and it keeps going,” Cleland said. “We wanted something simple, user-friendly, for kids to use. All they need to do is push a button.” There are only two other splash parks in southeastern Ohio — Ironton and Marietta. “We are all about creating healthy communities,” Cleland said. “This park is open to all residents of the county as well as people outside the county. It is something unique that kids and parents can enjoy.” The only thing lacking at the park are benches, and the community is encouraged to support efforts to place benches around the area. According to Middlport Village Fiscal Officer Susan Baker, water turned on for six hours a day for three months would cost the village about $1,000 a year. Cleland credited David Williams and Associates “I like educating people … to explain to people what we of Wahama High School, is active in 4-H, CEOS and has (at the health department) do.” volunteered with the Breast — Jennifer Thomas, and Cervical Screening Walk Nursing director/administrator, Mason County Health Department for Women and the American Thomas is also a certified cardio-pulmonary resuscitation instructor through the American Heart Association.

Michael Wise was the first visitor to the Park on Monday. president Bob Greiwe and vice president of operations Kyle Jones. She said they were instrumental in the planning and implementation phases of the splash park. “They went above and beyond to meet the needs of all involved. Aug. 5 was the originally scheduled completion date, the park was opened to the public July 25, almost two weeks ahead of schedule,” she said. “We wanted to open before school began in the area and were very appreciative the company kept its commitment.” Cleland said the success of the project was due to local support and the advocacy of many people.

Last week I ing … A moment later a young man walked up, looked at the pile of brush and said, “Is that you, pastor?” I smiled, rose, and said yes, then told him he did a good job. He smiled back and informed me I had left a trail to follow. I groaned, knowing how very unMakatozi-like that was. As I thought over how the young man found me, it occurred to me that, despite my best efforts not to leave a trail or trace or be followed, some determined young person found my trail and followed me anyway. And in that, I find a lesson well worth remembering. Adults, especially those who call themselves Christians, have an awesome responsibility. Whether we like it or not or wish it or not, there will be young people following us. If we do good, they will follow. If we do bad, they will follow. And in Luke 17:2 Jesus said, “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” That word “offend” means more than to hurt their feelings, it indicates putting a stumbling block in front of them and causing them to fall into sin. The idea that parents or pastor or teacher or any other Christian adult can tell a child “do as I say, not as I do,” is unbiblical and illogical. Kids follow; it is just what they do. And for better or worse, they often do it much better than we may imagine or wish. Every step you take in your life, every word you say, every attitude you demonstrate, never forget that somewhere there will be young eyes watching and following along. Lead right, do right, speak right, and always have the right spirit about you. The aged apostle John said, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” If our children walk in truth, it will likely be because we blazed that trail for them. And for the record, the only reason I was found is because I was not allowed to be in the water. If I had, I would not have been Joe Makatozi, I would have been Chuck Norris laying on the bottom of the river breathing through a reed.

By John Seewer Associated Press TOLEDO, Ohio — A man accused of abducting and killing a college student riding her bicycle chased a pair of boys on their bikes two years ago because he thought they looked suspicious, according to sheriff’s records released Friday. An incident report shows James Worley called a dispatcher to report the boys outside his rural farmhouse and said he was going to chase them. He later told a deputy that he Worley briefly followed the pair about 300 yards to a neighbor’s house because he’d been worried about break-ins. The neighbor said she knew the boys and they got scared when Worley started yelling. No charges came from the incident in June 2014. Worley, who spent three years in prison after abducting a woman riding a bike in 1990, has been charged with aggravated murder and abduction in the death of 20-year-old University of Toledo student Sierah Joughin. Her body was found in a cornfield near Worley’s home a week ago. Joughin, who will be buried Friday, disappeared while riding her bicycle on a country road in rural Fulton County, about 20 miles west of Toledo. Since Worley’s arrest a week ago, investigators have been looking into the possibility of additional victims. They said in the court documents that he “fits the profile of a serial offender.” Investigators found a hidden room outfitted with restraints inside a barn next to his farmhouse, and they were looking into whether it was used to hold other victims, according to search warrants Card showers Events TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 80° 77° HEALTH TODAY Statistics for Friday AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack. 86° 71° 86° 65° 101° in 1930 52° in 1925 Precipitation (in inches) Friday Month to date Normal month to date Year to date Normal year to date 0.28 5.58 4.26 32.47 26.33 SUN & MOON Today 6:29 a.m. 8:40 p.m. 4:15 a.m. 6:51 p.m. Sunrise Sunset Moonrise Moonset New First Full Last Aug 2 Aug 10 Aug 18 Aug 24 SOLUNAR TABLE The solunar period indicates peak feeding times for fish and game.

The room also had a carpet-lined freezer with blood inside and had been concealed by hay bales, the documents said. Worley has declined interview requests from the news media, and his attorney said Thursday that he had not seen the search warrants and could not comment. Authorities spent several days digging through the property where Worley lived with his mother and operated a small-engine repair shop surrounded by farm fields in northwestern Ohio. Search warrants say cellphone evidence shows Worley was at the spot where Joughin’s bike was found for two hours on the day she went missing. Investigators said he had marks on his arms and bruises on his lower legs but told them “he didn’t steal anything or kill anyone,” according to the documents. He first told investigators he had been riding a motorcycle and lost his helmet and other items after it broke down, the search warrants said. Those items, including a blood-covered motorcycle helmet, were found at the spot where Joughin’s bike was located, the documents said. Authorities also found zip ties and a ski mask in Worley’s truck and removed two sets of handcuffs, rope, tape and recording equipment from his home, the search warrants said. A review of records on sheriff’s runs to his home shows he called the department seven times since the beginning of 2014, reporting suspicious activity and other minor incidents — once saying he saw three red lights in a triangle pattern in the sky. He complained in November about damage from a township snowplow and called deputies last July about a dispute with his brother, who was living in a trailer on the property.

If you grew up in southeastern Ohio or West Virginia, chances are pretty good that some of your childhood memories involve catching fireflies, or lightning bugs. There are numerous species of fireflies but the most common around these parts is the Common Eastern Firefly, or Photinus pyralis. We’ve all seen them – slender little insects with the yellowish-green flashing butt. And despite being called flies or In the bugs, they are actually neither, but Open are members of the beetle family. Jim There are about 2,000 species of Freeman them worldwide, including about a dozen species in Ohio alone. In late spring and summer you can look out over most any meadow, hayfield, or pasture and watch the lightning bugs put on their show. Children are naturally attracted to fireflies and are powerless to resist their flashing lights, which do not generate See PROSPECTS | 2B “The field is done, but these two weeks give us two necessary weeks for the field to mature and the grass to settle correctly,” said Attar. “The field needs the extra time, so we have decided to switch the first two home weeks.” Attar added that the new drainage system improves the watershed, and that the field’s zeroinch crown was increased to a 20-inch crown.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Three of the most successful coaches in school history and another men’s soccer standout headline the University of Rio Grande’s Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2016. Men’s soccer head coach Scott Morrissey, men’s and women’s track and field/cross country head coach Bob Willey, women’s basketball head coach David Smalley and 2008 NAIA men’s soccer AllAmerican Paul Nicholson comprise the quarter of honorees announced Tuesday by school officials. The foursome will be formally inducted during the school’s annual Hall of Fame banquet on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m., in the Davis University Center. The banquet follows the conclusion of the Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18-19 at the Newt Oliver Arena. The Class of 2016 — and all Hall of Fame members in attendance — will be recognized prior to the tournament’s final game at approximately 4:30 p.m. on the 19th. The banquet begins with a 6:30 p.m. reception, with the formal program to follow at the top of the hour. Morrissey, who guided the Rio men’s soccer team to the second national title in school history last December, was named the 2015 NAIA Men’s Soccer National Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He has amassed 425 wins during his tenure and has guided the school to 15 consecutive NAIA National Tournaments, five semifinal appearances, three national title-game appearances and two NAIA national championships. “I’m honored to receive such a prestigious award and to be inducted into the Hall of Fame here at the University of Rio Grande. My career has been a fairly long one here and, every step of the way, (former Rio men’s soccer Morrissey assistant coach and new Rio women’s soccer head coach) Tony Daniels has been a part of the process. It goes without saying that he is equally responsible Smalley for the success of our program as anybody else,” said Morrissey, who enters his 28th season as the program’s head coach this fall. “We’ve been very blessed along the way to have outstanding players, outstanding support from the institution and outstanding support from Evan and Elizabeth Davis. There are a number of things which come to mind when you start talking about receiving an honor like this, but Tony, the institution and the Davis family have knocked it out of the park and have all been instrumental in giving me the opportunity to enjoy any success that I’ve had as a head coach.” Rio Grande has won 14 conference titles and seven NAIA region championships during Morrissey’s tenure. He was named America Mideast Conference Coach of the Year four times, while also winning the same award in the Mid-South Conference on three occasions and taking the same honor in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference last season. Morrissey is also a two-time NAIA National Coach of the Year. “You have to have players, too, to be successful and we’ve had, over the 28 years, some unbelievable players — both on and off the field,” he said. “I’m maybe more proud of that, of the individuals who have come through the doors and given us four or five years of their lives and committed to the cause. Willey It started early with the guys who helped build the program and has come all the way back around to the guys who’ve won national championships. It’s been a lot of fun and it certainly Nicholson beats working for a living.” Willey, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Health & Physical Education from Rio Grande College in 1973 before receiving his Masters in Health Education from Union College in 1975, began his current stint as the head coach of Rio’s men’s and women’s cross country/track & field squads in 1986. Willey’s first coaching assignment at Rio Grande College was from 1975 to 1979. He then left for a similar position at Morehead State University, and was there from 1979 to 1985 before returning to Rio Grande. “When you look at the people who are already in there — between the athletes, coaches and administrators — and you realize that you’re going to be a part of that same fraternity, it’s quite overwhelming,” said Willey. “I can remember my first thoughts of attending Rio Grande and the first name which was said was ‘Bevo Francis’. To think about being in the same Hall of Fame that he’s in is very humbling, to say the least.” During his tenure, Willey has guided his teams to 15 conference championships, while winning 14 conference Coach of the Year See COACHES | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, July 31, 2016 Gallia From page 1B said there are no plans to move any other games away from SGHS. Hence, four of the Rebels’ first five tilts are on the road — with the only home bout being against Trimble on Sept. 9. As it stands now, South Gallia goes to Sciotoville East before facing Federal Hocking on Sept. 2, as the Rebels return to the road at Manchester on Sept. 16 and at Eastern on Sept. 23. South Gallia will then host Belpre on Sept. 30 and Waterford on Oct. 7, before two more road shows at Wahama (Oct. 14) and at Southern (Oct. 21). The Rebels’ fourth and final home game this season will be against Miller on Oct. 28. Attar emphasized that for the 2017 season, South Gallia will host River Valley for the OHSAA jamboree and host Sciotoville in the opener. He also wanted to express thanks towards the community for its understanding of the situation.

Truex Jr. wins pole at Pocono LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. has one of his four career Sprint Cup wins at Pocono Raceway. He added his 10th career pole, too. Truex extended Toyota’s recent romp, and turned a lap of 179.244 mph to win the pole Friday. Truex and Carl Edwards made it a 1-2 Toyota front row. Edwards just missed the top spot for Joe Gibbs Racing with a lap of 178.873 and he thought his No. 19 Toyota might have had enough to best Truex’s chart-topping speed. “That must have felt really good because mine was great,” Edwards said. Toyota has 10 wins this season and nine in the last 15 races, highlighted by consecutive wins by JGR drivers Matt Kenseth at New Hampshire and Kyle Busch last weekend at the Brickyard. “It’s a really neat time to be driving a Toyota for Joe Gibbs,” Edwards said. “Hopefully, we can keep this rolling.” Truex won his third pole of the season in the Furniture Row Racing No. 78 Toyota and the 10th of his career. His win this season at Charlotte Motor Speedway might have been the most dominant performance by any Toyota driver in a race in years. Paul Menard, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman completed the top five. Driving for Richard Childress Racing, Menard posted the surprise performances of the day at Pocono. Menard has just two top10 finishes all season and showed no signs of developing into a threat for making the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But a crew chief switch might make the difference. Menard topped the lone practice chart in his first race weekend with crew chief Danny Stockman.

Firefly tourism also occurs in other countries. Are fireflies disappearing? Might your childhood memories someday be all that remains of the ubiquitous lightning bug? Some people think so, and there are several websites and groups dedicated to helping the fireflies. However, despite some anecdotal accounts that fireflies are disappearing, there doesn’t appear to be much scientific study on the subject that I could find. Part of that could be because of the sheer prevalence of fireflies; once you get away from the cities and pavement, they are literally everywhere. Also, there are numerous species of fireflies; that twinkling you see is not necessarily just one species – it could school record 27 wins twice. During his tenure at the school, Rio Grande also claimed a pair of Mid-Ohio Conference (MOC) championships in 1993 and 1994, one Great Lakes Region crown, and back-to-back American Mideast Conference tournament titles in 1999 and 2000. Smalley, who has coached 12 All-Americans and had just two sub-.500 seasons in his coaching career, also led his 2015 team to the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season crown. “I’ve been blessed directing the women’s basketball program at Rio Grande over the past 24 years with awesome and talented players, extremely competent and energetic assistant coaches and supportive administrations,” said Smalley, who was also inducted into the Peebles High School Hall of Fame in 2014. “I’m very proud of the numerous success stories this program has produced over the years and the cradle of assistant and head college coaches that have matriculated to and from Rio Grande through the women’s basketball program. The players and staff are responsible for the programs’ tradition and I am proud to be a part of it.” be many species, and it seems that new species are still being discovered. In that respect the fireflies are very much unlike the Monarch butterfly which appears to be seriously declining. With that being said, it is reasonable to assume that urban sprawl and pesticides that kill every living insect in and around cultivated fields are not good for local firefly populations. The jury is out on whether or not light pollution affects the insects, but it can hardly be helping them. In the meantime, it doesn’t seem that the fireflies are going to disappear anytime soon. As long as there are fields with nearby woods and streams for them to call home, they will be there for many generations of children to pursue.

Nicholson was a first-team NAIA All-American as a senior in 2008, while also earning All-America Mideast Conference and All-Region honors in helping Rio Grande to a national runner-up finish. He was also an all-conference selection in each of his first three collegiate seasons, and was an all-region pick in his sophomore and junior seasons as well. During Nicholson’s playing career, Rio’s men’s soccer program posted an overall record of 71-12-4. He started all 87 games and was a team captain in each of his final two seasons. “It’s a huge honor to be selected to the Rio Grande Hall of Fame. To even be considered a member of this prestigious group of Rio alumni is incredible and something my family and I are extremely proud of,” Nicholson said. “I can’t thank my coaches, Scott Morrissey and Tony Daniels, enough for taking a chance on me and changing my life both on and off the field forever.” Nicholson is currently in his sixth season of playing professionally.

The Bengals open training camp with one goal on defense: Figure out how to replace middle linebacker Burfict, who is suspended by the NFL for the first three games. Bengals look for fill-in for Burfict it a priority to protect defenseless players. “Obviously the league is making a statement, and he’s got to understand they are doing that and he’s going to have a red flag,” Guenther said. “He understands that. He’s a smart kid, and we’ll move forward with it together.” They’ve tried to get the point across to Burfict in the past, without much success. In addition to penalties and fines, he’s suffered concussions because of his head-first style of play. His blow to Brown’s head after an incomplete pass was the type of play that made teams reluctant to draft him out of Arizona State in 2012. The Bengals signed him as a free agent, and he quickly developed into their best linebacker. Concussions, a strained neck and a knee injury that required surgery limited him to five games during the 2014 season. He was still recovering from the knee surgery at the start of last season and missed the first six games, all of which the Bengals won. Cincinnati signed former Browns linebacker Karlos Dansby in the offseason, bringing in another player who can fill in while Burfict is suspended. Vincent Rey got more playing time last season while Burfict was out. Guenther said he might use different players in Burfict’s spot, depending upon the game situation. The Bengals were in position to close out their first playoff victory in 25 years after Burfict’s interception in the closing minutes. Running back Jeremy Hill fumbled, giving the Steelers their final chance. Burfict’s hit on Brown gave them 15 yards, and cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones drew a personal foul penalty for bumping an official during a verbal altercation with Steelers on the field, setting up the winning kick. Guenther has told his players not to be goaded into losing their cool. “You have to understand guys are targeting you,” Guenther said. “They are targeting some players. They are going to try to get underneath your skin and try to do those things.” Owner Mike Brown disagreed with Burfict’s suspension and remains solidly in support of the volatile linebacker.

They’re trying to make him understand he needs to change his hitting style to avoid more suspensions. Burfict was suspended by the NFL for games against the Jets, Steelers and Broncos for his history of illegal hits. The final straw was hitting Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown in the head during the playoffs. Brown wound up with a concussion, and Burfict’s penalty helped move the Steelers in range for the winning field goal and an 18-16 victory. Throughout his fouryear career, Burfict has repeatedly been fined for his improper play. He’s able to practice with the team during training camp, which opened Thursday with players reporting. Burfict wasn’t available during the open locker room. The Bengals said he won’t practice on Friday because of an injury. Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther has tried to impress upon Burfict that any further problems on the field will bring more discipline from the league, which has made BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Humbled, grateful and determined to make up for lost time and to those who stood by him, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon stood on an NFL practice field and finally felt peace. Surrounded by teammates eager to start a new season, Gordon was home. This is where he belongs. Recently reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell following a lengthy drug suspension, Gordon said he’s been changed by his experience over the past two years. He’s grown up, learned from his mistakes and is ready to be productive again. “I definitely think I’m a different person,” he said. “If you haven’t changed over a period of time, it’s definitely a bad thing. I think me standing here is a testament to that.” Gordon, who has been suspended for 27 of Cleveland’s 32 games over the past two seasons and suspended four times in his pro career, believes he can now stay on a straight path. The 25-year-old would not confirm if he’s been in rehab, but Gordon acknowledged “taking the necessary steps” to get his life in order. During his 12-minute interview with media members, Gordon offered no excuses and didn’t make any promises. He acknowledged prior mistakes and admitted to not listening to others. After Goodell cleared his return, Gordon met with Cleveland coach Hue Jackson and vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, who laid out their expectations for the former Pro Bowler. “For us it’s about Josh wanting to make a change, and having the opportunity,” Brown said. �SPORTS 4B Sunday, July 31, 2016 Bengals’ Eifert still wearing protective boot CINCINNATI (AP) — Tyler Eifert pointed to a crescent-shaped scar surrounding the ball on his left ankle. That little spot is sidelining the Cincinnati Bengals tight end for training camp, and maybe more. He had surgery two months ago to repair a partial ligament tear that he suffered during the Pro Bowl. He was in a cast for six weeks and has to wear a protective boot for at least another week. Eifert was the most prominent Bengal who couldn’t participate Friday in the first practice of training camp. Linebacker Rey Maualuga initially had been ruled out because of an offseason injury, but he was cleared to participate a few hours before practice. Eifert’s injury is a significant setback to a team still looking for its playoff breakthrough — no postseason victory in 25 years. Eifert set a club record for touchdown catches by a tight end (13). He became Andy Dalton’s favorite target near the goal line with his 6-foot-6 frame and dependable hands. He also made his first Pro Bowl. His cleats grabbed the ground on one step and he twisted his foot. Initially it was thought to be an injury that would heal with time, but it never got better. “The injury I had — more times than not you don’t have surgery,” Eifert said. “I did everything right, followed the protocol, and it just didn’t heal the way it was supposed to. It was something that had to be done.” The season opener is six weeks away — in New York against the Jets on Sept. 11 — which doesn’t leave much time for him to get the ankle back to full strength and get himself in playing shape. It’s possible he’ll be sidelined or limited for the first few games. “There’s a long progression that you have to go through here to return to play,” Eifert said. “You’ve got to be watched by a lot of different eyes and go through a lot of different steps.” The injury has convinced Eifert that his first Pro Bowl appearance will be his last. “If I ever get asked back, that is,” Eifert said. “But no. I mean, it was one of my most favorite weekends I’ve ever had, just hanging out with the guys. It’s cool. You play against these guys all year long. Some of the guys have been in the Pro Bowl multiple years that you watched growing up. You’re in the pool hanging out. It was a lot of fun. “Then it comes to (game day) and you’re on the bus going, ‘We’re going to play a game? Holy …’. So it was a great week, but I don’t want to risk going through this again.” Maualuga initially was ruled out of practice because of an offseason injury that sidelined him for a month. The Bengals will be missing linebacker Vontaze Burfict for the first three games of the season, when he serves his NFL suspension for illegal hits. Maualuga wanted to be on the field for the start of camp. “I don’t want to just show up a week or two before our first game and (coaches are) trying to rush and get me to do this and do that,” he said. Sunday Times-Sentinel Bell apologizes for being a distraction LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Le’Veon Bell believes his surgically repaired right knee feels so good he could play “tomorrow.” The wait will be considerably longer for the Pittsburgh Steelers running back, perhaps all the way until October if his appeal for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy is denied. While Bell apologized for being a distraction as the Steelers reported for training camp Thursday, he declined to get into specifics, saying only he was notified in March that he’d been suspended. ESPN.com reported Bell missed a drug test. “It’s a little frustrating,” Bell said. “I’ve got to handle it for what it is and just keep moving forward.” Bell expects the appeal to be heard sometime in August, giving the Steelers plenty of time to prepare should he be unavailable for the season opener on Sept. 12 against Washington. This is the second time Bell has faced discipline from the league. He sat out the first two games of the 2015 season as punishment for his arrest in August 2014 on DUI and marijuana possession charges following a traffic stop. Bell was originally suspended three games before it was reduced on appeal. Heading into the final season of his rookie deal, the 24-year-old understands he could be developing a reputation for off-thefield issues that may follow him around as he heads into the prime of a career that seems remarkably bright when he’s available. “That’s always something that’s in your head,” Bell said. “I’m sure people feel a certain way about me and that’s understandable but like I said, I can only control what I can control and let everything handle itself.” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin demurred when asked about Bell’s status and will wait until the case is adjudicated, noting “anything prior to that is speculation and I’m not in the speculation business.” Pittsburgh is already without wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who will miss the entire season after getting suspended at least a year in March for a second viola- Partnership forged by ‘lunch-bucket’ guys Mary Altaffer | AP file The U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team poses for a photo with coach Mike Krzyzewski, left, and USA Basketball boss Jerry Colangelo, right.

While losing Bell in the short term would not be catastrophic for a team coming off a second straight playoff appearance, it’s not exactly ideal either. “We’re so talented and to lose guys like that is frustrating,” guard David DeCastro said. “You want to have everyone there. Then again we’re used to it sadly.” The Steelers finished third in total yards and fourth in scoring in 2015 while going 11-7 and losing to Denver in the divisional round. It was quite an accomplishment considering Bell, Bryant, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and center Maurkice Pouncey missed significant chunks of time because of injury, suspension or in Bell’s case, both. One of the league’s most versatile backs, Bell ran for 556 yards and three touchdowns and caught 24 passes for 136 yards in six games before tearing the MCL in his right knee while getting dragged to the ground by Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict on Nov. 1. CHICAGO (AP) — Nearly every time coach Mike Krzyzewski and USA Basketball boss Jerry Colangelo stage a reunion in their hometown, there’s plenty of backslapping, a trophy gleaming in the background and the only thing they have to protect is their cocktails. This time around, it’s about safeguarding the Olympic legacy the two built over more than a decade. Their partnership took hold in the wake of the “Abomination in Athens,” when a U.S. team coached by Larry Brown and packed with high-maintenance, highlight-reel guys who slept through wake-up calls couldn’t rouse themselves in time for the medal round. They left the 2004 Summer Games with a consolation prize of bronze and the program’s reputation in tatters. Colangelo, a former NBA and MLB executive and once a fine athlete in his own right, agreed to pick up the pieces on one condition: “I get to make all the rules.” Instead of submitting the names of the players he wanted to a selection committee, Colangelo picked his own. Instead of contacting their agents to set up meetings, he called some directly and collared others as they clambered off the team bus at NBA arenas across the country.

Once he shaped a roster that reflected his philosophy — that the best teams are made up of complementary parts instead of just the best ones available — there was only one guy Colangelo wanted to coach them. “We’re both Chicago guys through and through,” Colangelo said Thursday, while the Team USA practiced for Friday’s exhibition here against Venezuela. “A lot of the bond we felt right off the bat had to do with the lunch-bucket beginnings both of us had.” Gold medals at Beijing and London followed in their wake, and the mix of players buzzing around Krzyzewski at practice — bona fide NBA stars like Kevin Durant and others like Kyle Lowry and DeAndre Jordan, who bring specific skill-sets to the floor — suggest their approach hasn’t changed. The only surprise about this edition is Colangelo found yet another way to get Coach K to sign on for another tour of duty. “There’s usually lots of wine involved, but it hasn’t really been that tough,” said Colangelo, laughing. In 2009, both were on hand for a National Association of Basketball Coaches “Court of Honor” gala feting Colangelo and Team USA’s success at the Olympics a year earlier. Colangelo worked the room in his familiar style, shifting his drink often to avoid spilling it as he accepted handshakes, hugs and posed for pictures with old friends. Krzyzewski, who served as toastmaster, still hadn’t made up his mind about London. “We got that taken care of at 3 a.m. that morning in the lobby over pizza and wine,” Colangelo said. “I remember after London, Mike was really wiped out. I thought I’d lay low and didn’t bother him for two weeks, then he called me. ‘Jerry,’ he says, ‘I’m already going through withdrawal.’” Krzyzewski, whose day job is coaching Duke, chuckles at the memory. There’s so little daylight between the two men about basketball and how it’s played that the few disagreements usually surface only at mealtime. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 31, 2016 5B LEGALS Excavating Help Wanted General Help Wanted General Syracuse Village Council is accepting letters of interest for a vacant council seat.

Among the Pirates’ messages: ECU leads the AAC in number of 60662814 By Eric Olson �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 31, 2016 Section C Something old, something new Local group investigates colonial wedding traditions in America COLONIAL WEDDINGS By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com RACINE — “When we think of weddings, we think of creamy satin and lace, a bouquet of white flowers,” said Kim Magnuson as she began her presentation of “Something old, something new.” Magnuson was guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Return Jonathan Meigs Daughters of the American Revolution, where she spoke on the wedding outfit’s evolution from the 17th century to today. “But that wasn’t the case,” she stated. “What we think of as the traditional wedding outfit, as well as the customs surrounding the wedding, were established only within the last 200 years, and some barely 100 years ago.” Magnuson said many of the modern wedding traditions developed during the Victorian era are quite different from what was customary in the 18th century. White was not considered the only color for a wedding dress before 1800, and she illustrated that fact by showing a dark green silk damask dress worn at a ceremony in 1760. Magnuson said colonial brides wore their best gown or purchased the finest they could afford. Fine textiles were expensive and out of reach for many people. Women didn’t wear their gown only once and it was often altered and worn for years after the wedding to other important events. “Eighteenth century couples usually married in a home and did not expect presents for their wedding from people outside their immediate family,” she said. “And men generally did not wear special clothing for their wedding, but would sometimes have an embroidered waistcoat made for the occasion.” During the turn of the century, white became a popular color for young girl’s dresses due to white’s neo-classical connotations and its associations with youth. With white now in fashion, brides began to choose white dresses to be married in, Magnuson said. By 1837, she said white silk wedding dresses with lace or embroidered gauze veil was established as “the fashionable convention for bridal attire.” Low-necked evening styles were favored, and brides continued to wear their wedding dresses after the wedding day. Brides could still choose from a variety of colors for their wedding dresses during the late 1800s, but the traditional white was a cultural ideal. The Industrial Revolution further strengthened the idea of white wedding dresses by making it possible for brides to purchase white gowns of machine made white silks in prices to suit most budgets, Magnuson said. Weddings and dresses, she added, continued becoming more lavish until World War II “put a stop” to elaborate dresses due to wartime rationing. “After the war, brides could once again revel in lush, romantic wedding dresses,” Magnuson said. Traditions have long been a part of weddings: the idea of keeping something special as a wedding remembrance has been a tradition since at least the mid1800s. Fans of ivory and silk, prayer books and wedding rings were common. Brides carried prayer books before bouquets became popular. Prior to its discovery in South Africa in the late 1800s, diamonds were rare and expensive, and most diamond rings were imitations. Shoes, stockings and garters were associated with weddings; shoes were thrown after the couple as they departed, stockings were thrown to determine who would be married next, and the bride’s garters were a sought-after prize in some early traditions. “As wedding dresses became more specific to the day, as opposed to a dress a bride could wear later in life, the result was that dresses began to be passed down as mementos as well,” Magnuson said. “A colonial bride would hardly recognize her contemporaries with their old etiquette, new twists and borrowed traditions. “Today’s bride’s marital status no longer defines her as completely as it did the colonial bride, and weddings have become a reflection of her tastes. Will weddings get more elaborate, or will the pendulum swing back toward simpler weddings? Where will the American wedding go from here?” Contact us at 740-446-2342. Lorna Hart | Daily Sentinel According to Colonial Quills, the most popular months for colonial weddings were late December, January and early February, although couples married throughout the year, with the exception of Lent and the week before Christmas. By the 1770s, rituals traditionally performed in churches, including marriages, were often performed in homes. Church marriages always took place before noon. In Virginia, regardless of where the wedding was performed, the ceremony had to be conducted by a minister of the Church of England for it to be recognized.

Hepatitis C is a contagious liver disease that ranges in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness that attacks the liver. It results from infection with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is spread primarily through contact with the blood of an infected person. It can be spread sharing needles and straws for drug use and/ or other modes of blood to blood transmission, such as non-professional tattoos. Hepatitis C can be either “acute” or “chronic.” Acute Hepatitis C virus infection is a short-term illness that occurs within the first 6 months after someone is exposed to the Hepatitis C virus. For most people, acute infection leads to chronic infection. Chronic Hepatitis C virus infection is a long-term illness that occurs when the Hepatitis C virus remains in a person’s body. Hepatitis C virus infection can last a lifetime and lead to serious liver problems, including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) or liver cancer. The Meigs County Health Department provides rapid Hepatitis C testing by appointment. Cost is $75 per test. We also offer the Hepatitis A and B vaccinations for all ages.

It offered those who bought a ticket the chance to mingle with Garner, while enjoying an open bar and light hors d’oeuvres.

Garner visited Herbert Hoover High School and toured the Xk_bZ_d]�m_j^�Fh_dY_fWb�C_a[�A[bley, who explained the extensive damages the school faced.

It does more than just give ced[o�je�j^[�YWki["Ç�A[bb[o�iW_Z$� “It gives people hope and there’s nothing in the world more powerful than hope.” He thanked Garner, elected officials, and guests in atten- dance for their generosity and assistance over the past few weeks. “When someone like Jennifer comes here, it shines a national spotlight on this effort and it keeps it in the front of people’s minds,” he said. “It keeps the thoughts and the prayers and all of the resources flowing our way.” A[bb[o�iW_Z�j^ek]^�j^[h[�_i�W� long road ahead of the school, he feels they are headed in the right direction. “We are going to be back, and we’re going to be stronger than ever and it’s going to be because of our students, and our staff, and our community,” he said.

Chris Walters and (House If[Wa[h��J_c�7hcij[WZ"Ç�FWbkcbo said. “This isn’t a partisan, political issue, these are just people who are working hard to help the community recover and I appreciate that.” Manchin called Garner “a dear friend.” “We have the model for how you take care of people because we take care of each other,” he said. “Every time there’s a disaster, every time there is a challenge, West Virginia rises to the occasion.” Manchin said he and his wife first became involved with Save the Children when Garner brought it to their attention while he was governor. “If we don’t believe in our children and give them a start, then God help us all,” he said. “This eh]Wd_pWj_ed�Ze[i�ie�ckY^�\eh� the kids, not just the children, but the families, to teach them to be responsible parents, to teach them how to care and to give something back.” Garner also visited a Save the Children day care Saturday while in Elkview. She met with families affected by the flood and spoke about psychosocial health and how to handle the emotional trauma children may face after the tragedy. “I’m so proud of the work that Save (the Children) has done in the state since then-Governor Manchin brought them in,” she said. “They see the need in our state and they see my passion about us being here, and the numbers support us continuing to be in the state.” Garner noted that her school librarian from Oakwood Elementary, her ballet teacher, her neighbors from growing up, and her classmates from George Washington High School, were in attendance. “I am here because of the community that I grew up in, and it has formed who I am, through and through. That is so important and that’s what is going to get us through, but we do need help from the outside world and I am going to help us get it, by God,” she said.
