As part of the Summer Food Service Program, the volunteers help feed children, funded by the Ohio Department of Education. The program approves sites where local schools have a 50 percent attendance rating of children that qualify for free or reduced lunches. Wothe and Rankin note some of their best experiences are being called “the food guys” when children see them about. Hugs and smiles rank high on their list as well. RIO GRANDE — The Waste Water Treatment Plant in Rio Grande began treating septic water once more at 1:20 p.m., Friday, after heavy flooding from intense thunderstorms disabled the facility early July 14. According to Sandy Perry, chairperson of the Rio Grande sewer and water board, workers repaired water pumps to functionality around 3:30 p.m., Thursday. The plant was initially shutdown Tuesday morning around 1:30 a.m. and started treating again Friday at 1:20 p.m. Roughly 84 hours passed before Rio Grande could start treating waste water. “We’re treating sewage. We’re up and running. We’re not up and running at full capacity yet, but we can handle the capacity of the village. When I say we’re not up to running full yet, we don’t have all the electrical (accoutrements) yet. The important things the village needs are running,” See PLANT | 4A Tattoo museum displays works By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL — “Rich T” Thomas, 54, owner of Bicknee Supply Co., honors his trade as a tattooist and trade historian with a unique area attraction, the Ohio Tattoo Museum. The museum can be found at 1928 Jackson Pike and its 1700 square foot space connects with the rest of Bicknee Supply Co., a tattooist supplying center. “The supply business actually started at 250 2nd Avenue in Gallipolis back when I had my shop there,” Thomas said. He said that Temple Tattoo and Piercing was originally opened in 1999. Thomas stated he is a Gallia native that grew up near Cheshire just down the road from the Kyger Creek High School. He moved to Columbus out of high school and then moved to New York City from 1981 to late 1988. He has lived in Cleveland, Milwaukee and Los Angeles before moving back to the Gallia area in 1996. He felt Gallia County was a good location for starting his own tattoo shop because his “dollar could go further” in the area. He has “twenty plus” years of business experience. “I was the kid that handpicked tattoos on his buddies when I first started out of high school,” Thomas said. Thomas started collecting tattoo relics in the mid-eighties, a piece at a time. Much of what hangs in his museum is called “flash,” drawings and design sheets displaying examples of body art for prospective buyers to select from. He has a variety of vintage tattooing machines under glass, some examples being a portable Percy Waters travel tattoo set and equipment from the 1920s. Thomas displays one of his oldest pieces of flash in the Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com individual biggest cat and many other novelty categories. Last year, 120 fishermen in 47 boats participated. Winning first place in 2014 was the team of Todd Anderson, Greg Adkins, Dylan Perkins and Noah Eblin, with a weight of 69.06 pounds. Local businesses and WalMart business partners are providing additional cash prizes, according to Missy Warth, another tourney organizer. She added there will also be door prizes, raffles, and free food and drinks for all participants. Pre-registration is now being accepted at Mason WalMart in the sporting goods department.

Russell was arrested on Jan. 21 in Letart Falls, along with Terry Carmichael and Susan EvansGoode, as a result of an investigation by Sgt. Robert A. Smith of the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. Smith testified during the trial for EvansGoode that on Jan 21, while investigating a possible meth lab in the Racine area, he had been watching influx logs for unusual pseudoephedrine purchases in the area. The logs suggested suspicious activity that led him to a home on Bucktown Road. According to Smith, when he knocked on the door, Russell answered the door. Smith advised him of what they were there for and asked permission to look around the property. He testified that Carmichael and Evans-Goode were sitting on the floor with equipment normally used for smoking meth. He said he also saw Drano and tubing under the kitchen sink.

The piece in question displays a knight peering around the trunk of a tree over the shoulder of a naked woman. The flash is listed in the museum as having been done between the 1920s and 1930s. “In ‘99, I got lucky and bought this guy’s Al Cooke col- lection,” Thomas said. “That’s when I went ‘Wow. I’ve got enough for a museum.’” Thomas noted the museum opened at the current location with a gallery show on July 5. Tattoos were done by Ed Smith and money donated to the museum.

White. Special care and love was given by our extended family, Taci Carpenter, Susie Maston, Carol Davis, Linda Moore, Sharon Taylor and the staff of Care Haven of Pleasants in Belmont, W.Va. He was a graduate of St. Marys High School class of 1942. Delno developed a love of baseball and hunting which would continue throughout his life. After Delno graduated high school he continued his baseball career with the St. Marys Eagles and the Lorain Ohio Yales as pitcher until he began service in the Navy during WWII. Delno left a legacy of teaching the responsibility that goes with the right to bear arms. He enjoyed deer hunting and coon hunting. Delno worked in construction on jobs like the PRT-MOVTI Vocational/ Tec Center, The Wood County Airport and he also helped with the first Habitat House in Pleasants County. Friends and family may gather on Sunday, July 19 at Ingram Funeral Home in St.Marys, from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 pm.

Talented sign spinners used to attract customers in Ohio In memory of (USPS 436-840) ST. MARYS, W.Va. — Delno Dean Truex of Middle Island Creek Road, St. Marys, W.Va. passed away at Marietta Memorial Hospital on Friday July 17, 2015. He was born at 807 Fourth Street, St. Marys in Pleasants County, on December 8, 1922, the son of Clarence Carl and Effie Edna Keller Truex. Delno was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Gayla Ruth (Harper) Truex. Delno and Gayla began their life together on April 8, 1946 in Catlettsburg, Ky. at the First Christian Church. They were blessed with four children, Teresa Craig (Henry) of St. Marys, Cheryl Carpenter (Spence) of Racine, Michael D. Truex (Phoebe) of St. Marys and Malinda Bussey (Brad) of St. Marys. Delno loved his 12 grandchildren, Chad Craig, Beckie Barton (Butch), Michael Amos (Hue Doan), John Amos (Courtney), Elizabeth “Annie” LaMasters (Steve), James Carpenter (Christy), Jenny Harman (James), Jason Carpenter, Micah Truex, Amie Phillips Pablo (Gregory), Brooks Ludwig (Shayla) and Corbin Bussey. Delno was also blessed with 24 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Delno is survived by sister-in-law Dortha (Dotte) White of St. Marys. Delno was an inspiration to his seven nieces and nephews, Judy (How) Calvert, Steve How, Scott Harper, Rob Harper, Bruce White, Fred White and Max COLUMBUS, Ohio — Standing on a concrete island at the entrance to a suburban strip center, Tito Salih flipped a 6-foot-long sign into the air— “Pools Plus Now Open” —and watched it twirl one, two, three times before he secured it back in his hands. As a Jeep Cherokee approached, he instinctively turned the 5-pound mini-billboard into a directional tool, pointing it toward Pools Plus, a new business in the shopping center. The driver slowed down, smiled and waved from his sunroof. Mission accomplished. The 19-year-old Salih, after all, is hired not only to entertain passers-by (in vehicles and on foot) with the tricks he has honed since he was 14 but also to catch the eye of potential customers for clients. He is among several dozen sign spinners in central Ohio who have undergone training. As such, spinners can twirl a bulky sign while lying on a sidewalk, doing a handstand or dancing alongside a road— all while getting their message across. During his recent shift for Pools Plus, Salih spent five hours on a Thursday afternoon spinning and break dancing as Kanye West tunes filled his earbuds— his efforts eliciting honks and waves. “This (location) fills up after 3 p.m. when cars will stop right by me,” said Salih, who has worked for the past five years for AArrow Street Spinners, one of at least two such companies with operations in central Ohio. “That’s when I get to interact with people.” A successful spinner, both practitioners and their bosses say, must be personable. Which is why Jordan Hall prefers to ply his trade at busy intersections. “I have a favorite category— corners like this one —with like eight lanes and lots of interaction and traffic,” said Hall, who has worked for four years at Street Hop Advertising. Before long, two young men who were stopped at the traffic light captured video of Hall as he did a sweep— passing the sign behind his back while leaning on one hand and spinning it under his legs. “It makes a whole circle,” said Hall, a recent high school graduate. The 18-year-old, who recently moved to Coshocton, has even devised— and named —a few tricks. “You get to make people laugh and be the center of attention,” Hall said. “Everyone rolls by with cameras and thinks you’re the coolest thing on the block.” JORDAN POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Roger Mathew Jordan, 40, of Point Pleasant, W.Va., passed away on July 16, 2015.

Entrepreneurs mix adult beverages with vintage arcade games By Kevin Joy Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — When Benjamin Morgan pitched his idea for an arcade to investors, the particulars of his upscale game plan didn’t quite click. “Their response was: ‘So, you’re opening a Chuck E. Cheese?’” said Morgan, 29. Not exactly. His Old North Arcade is an adults-only hangout north of Ohio State University stocked with 30 vintage titles and 20 craft-beer taps. The venue targets nerd-chic enthusiasts of both Missile Command and microbrews. Call it Arcade 2.0. Absent, though, are flashing lights and neon accents. Black Keys tunes fill the air as bartenders pour rum-based “Koopa” Libres (a nod to Mario Bros. characters) and other videogame-centric cocktails. A bearded doorman in red Converse sneakers checks IDs. Still, the modern scene offers plenty of focus on the past. “It brings back a lot of good memories, actually … staying up all night with your friends when you were, like, 10,” said Linden resident Aaron Wagner, 26, after challenging his younger brother, Dan, to a bout of Mortal Kombat (Aaron lost). Morgan, who until recently made a full-time income playing poker, calls the environment “cool, dark (and) sexy.” “It’s not a Dave & Buster’s.” Old North Arcade is the third such venture to open in Columbus, following 16-Bit Bar + Arcade and Ethyl & Tank. From the first day that 16-Bit hit the “power” button, lines outside the downtown hot spot have regularly formed on weekends — with mixed-generation crowds gathering to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; mingle over thematic libations (a Bill Nye or Steve Urkel, anyone?); or enjoy “Wayback Wednesday” nights, featuring 1980s flicks screened on televisions. Ethyl & Tank, a bar and restaurant in the Ohio State University area, devotes upstairs space to a dozen arcade games. The area growth and hype mirror that of retro gaming venues nationwide. The trend is undeniable, said Anthony Dandrea, co-owner of Ground Kontrol in Portland, Oregon — widely recognized as one of the first establishments anywhere to offer the bararcade combination. “There is a gold-rush mentality we didn’t see five years ago,” he said. “It’s every man-child’s dream to re-create this environment.” Troy Allen, owner of 16-Bit, expected the concept to catch on in Columbus. “It takes people back to when they didn’t have a care in the world,” said Allen, 42, a Dublin resident. Last week, he opened a 16-Bit — his third overall — in Cincinnati’s evolving Over-theRhine district. He launched a second location last summer in the Cleveland suburb of Lakewood. Locally, additional arcades (with some offering entry to people of all ages) are set to plug in soon. Next month, John Geiger will open Arcade Super Awesome in Columbus. Geiger, 44, owner of an educational gamedesign company, has been amassing a cache of almost 100 games for years. His collection includes Tron, Punch-Out! and the sought-after Dragon’s Lair, a 1983 title that uses an internal laserdisc to produce what, at the time, was landmark interactivity. He’s in the process of moving 20 machines from his pinball collection — including Guns N’ Roses and Addams Family variations — to the new site. Arcade Super Awesome has operated for the past five years as a monthly gathering for friends and Facebook fans out of a storage room in his company’s office near Grandview Heights. “Just seeing that flourish gave me the idea to take it to the next step,” Geiger said. Unlike Old North, Ethyl & Tank and 16-Bit — whose machines are free — Arcade Super Awesome will require payment with quarters. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, July 19, 2015 3A Meigs Board votes on personnel By Lindsay Kriz tury Grant.

There are 165 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 19, 1985, Christa McAuliffe of New Hampshire was chosen to be the first schoolteacher to ride aboard the space shuttle. (McAuliffe and six other crew members died when the Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in January 1986.) On this date: In 1553, King Henry VIII’s daughter Mary was proclaimed Queen of England after pretender Lady Jane Grey was deposed. In 1848, a pioneer women’s rights convention convened in Seneca Falls, N.Y. In 1903, the first Tour de France was won by Maurice Garin. In 1944, the Democratic national convention convened in Chicago with the renomination of President Franklin D. Roosevelt considered a certainty. In 1952, the Summer Olympics opened in Helsinki, Finland. In 1965, the first president of South Korea, Syngman Rhee, died in Honolulu. In 1975, the Apollo and Soyuz space capsules that were linked in orbit for two days separated. In 1979, the Nicaraguan capital of Managua fell to Sandinista guerrillas, two days after President Anastasio Somoza fled the country. In 1980, the Moscow Summer Olympics began, minus dozens of nations that were boycotting the games because of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. In 1984, U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York won the Democratic nomination for vice president by acclamation at the party’s convention in San Francisco. In 1989, 111 people were killed when United Air Lines Flight 232, a DC-10 which suffered the uncontained failure of its tail engine and the loss of hydraulic systems, crashed while making an emergency landing at Sioux City, Iowa; 185 other people survived. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush joined former presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald R. Ford and Richard M. Nixon at ceremonies dedicating the Nixon Library and Birthplace (since redesignated the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum) in Yorba Linda, Calif. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush announced his choice of federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. (Roberts ended up succeeding Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who died in September 2005; Samuel Alito followed O’Connor.) Five years ago: The Agriculture Department pressured Shirley Sherrod, an administrator in Georgia, to resign after a conservative website posted video it claimed showed her making racist remarks. (After reviewing the entire video, the White House ended up apologizing to Sherrod.) A train slammed into another at a station north of Calcutta, India, killing at least 63 people. Australian David Warren, who’d invented the “black box” flight data recorder, died in Melbourne at age 85. One year ago: A New York City police officer involved in the arrest of Eric Garner, who died in custody two days earlier after being placed in an apparent chokehold, was stripped of his gun and badge and placed on desk duty. Actor James Garner, 86, died in Los Angeles. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Helen Gallagher is 89. Country singer Sue Thompson is 89. Singer Vikki Carr is 75.

THEIR VIEW Help your parents plan their ‘someday’ Marcus Geiger Guest Columnist Since your parents have done a lot for you over your lifetime, this is the perfect time of year to return the favor by helping them find their “Someday” at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount. In May, we honored mothers on Mother’s Day and, in June, we thanked our fathers on Father’s Day. In July, we get to show our appreciation for both. Parents’ Day, celebrated on July 27, is a great time to make sure your parents take the necessary steps to have a bright and comfortable “Someday” in retirement. Even if they’re still young, it’s never too early to help your parents start planning for their retirement or help them imagine what their “Someday” might look like. When you ask them about their retirement plans, encourage each of them to open their own secure my Social Security accounts at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. It’s quick, easy, and free to do! They can even do it from the comfort of home. my Social Security features several tools available to guide your parents through the retirement process, whether they’re just starting to think about it or they’re already retired. Before retiring, your parents can view their Social Security Statement to verify the accuracy of their earnings records and find out what benefits they can expect to receive at age 62, full retirement age, and at age 70. They can also get personalized benefit estimates using the Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. The Estimator shows different scenarios, like how future wage changes or alternate retirement dates will affect their future benefits. Once your parents have retired and are receiving Social Security benefits, they can use their accounts to: š�Y^[Ya�X[d[\_j�_d\ehmation; š�][j�Wd�_dijWdj�b[jter with proof of their benefits; š�Y^Wd][�j^[_h� address and phone number; š�][j�W�h[fbWY[c[dj� SSA-1099; š�][j�W�h[fbWY[c[dj� Medicare card; and š�ijWhj�eh�Y^Wd][� their direct deposit or electronic payment method. Retirement is a big life change, so let your parents know you’ll be there for them just as they’ve been there for you! When you help them sign up for my Social Security at www. socialsecurity/myaccount, you’re showing that their “Someday” means something to you. Marcus Geiger is Social Security district manager in Gallipolis. THEIR VIEW Sweet deal for somebody, bad deal for most of us Tom H. Hastings Guest Columnist The U.S. has delivered the first batch of F16 fighter jets to Iraq. How long until ISIS grabs them? How long before Iraq’s BFF Iran reverse engineers them from nose to tail? How exactly is this even remotely in the interest of the security of the U.S. citizens whose government approved this deal? In the field in which I teach and write, Conflict Transformation, we refer to the conflict industry. The concept is simple. If a person or group stands to gain by the initiation or prolongation of destructive conflict, that person or group is part of the conflict industry. The gain may be financial, in status, in power, or in some combination. And the con- flict industry is almost always a small group, while the destruction tends to happen to larger groups. The Iraq conflict is a textbook case, from the 2003 invasion and for the 12 years since. It was undertaken by choice, not necessity, and it has cost Iraqis and Americans dearly, but profited a small group of powerful, rich elites. Those war profiteers include high-ranking military, war-promoting politicians, and the corporate recipients of massive Pentagon contracts. ISIS furthers the aims of this wing of the conflict industry perfectly, and indeed there is some evidence the US promoted the idea of a caliphate in a portion of Syria. Now that the caliphate includes part of Iraq and threatening to metastasize around the Gulf and south to Africa, are these U.S. conflict industry strategists excited or are they saying “Oops”? It’s a very costly variant of the old Doritos motto: Go ahead. We’ll make more. How many hundreds of billions in weapons have been given to various Iraqi military commanders? Some of those killing machines have been siphoned off to private parties, some is in the hands of Iraqi military leaders whose loyalties are much stronger to Iran, and some was seized by ISIS as they rout the Iraqi military — that same Iraqi military created, funded, trained, and equipped by the US for a dozen years. The Iranian Shiite militia is realistically going to end up controlling at least some of the planned 36 F16s. Their “Popular Mobilization” outflanks, outfights, and on the ground outranks the US Iraq mock army. In the end, the U.S. citizenry is made less secure by arms transfers. Our Congress must approve these transfers and they should end it. The region is flooded with U.S. weapons, forever falling into the wrong hands. Hawkish politicians and “Responsibility to Protect” officials alike are simply proven wrong again and again; arms to the Middle East and North Africa is gasoline pumped onto a fire. Stop it.

Hastings is core faculty in the Conflict Resolution Department at Portland State University and is founding director of PeaceVoice. �LOCAL 6A Sunday, July 19, 2015 MEIGS COUNTY BRIEFS GALLIA COUNTY CHURCH CALENDAR Vacation Bible School July 27-29, “God’s Lab of Truth and Fun Vacation Bible School,” Cheshire Baptist Church, 6-8 p.m. Nightly activities invlude Bible truths, science activities that illustrate scriptural truths, crafts, music, snacks and games.

Rich Corvin, a 15-year GAHS teacher and Blue Devils baseball coach for the past 12 seasons, has taken over as the as athletic director, replacing Phil McNally, who held the position since December on an interim basis. “I have a love for all sports, not just baseball,” Corvin said. “I’m usually at a majority of the activities and I like being around it. You have ideas of the way that you want to see come into place, but if you don’t step up and get into the position where you can put them in motion then you’re not going to get very far.” As Blue Devils skipper, Corvin has compiled a 194-105 record and has set a school record for wins six times. Corvin is a six-time Southeastern Ohio Athletic League Coach of the Year and a four-time Southeast District Coach of the Year. Corvin noted that the ability to still serve as the GAHS varsity baseball coach was a major factor in the decision to take on duties as athletic director. “Baseball is going to be my way of still keeping in contact with the kids,” Corvin said. “When baseball season comes in the spring, that’s my escape, it’s my get-away, it relaxes me and makes me feel good.” Corvin is a 1990 graduate of Wellston High School and has a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree from the University of Rio Grande, where he also played baseball. Corvin is also looking forward to the administrative side of the job.

Jae C. Hong | AP Mixed martial arts fighter Ronda Rousey, right, fist-bumps former boxer Mike Tyson after her workout at Glendale Fighting Club on Wednesday in Glendale, Calif. Rousey, the UFC bantamweight champion, will return to the octagon against Brazil’s unbeaten Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 1. Tyson sees himself in Ronda Rousey’s UFC dominance GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — Moments after Mike Tyson stepped into the Glendale Fighting Club, Ronda Rousey grabbed her judo coach and abruptly flung him onto the canvas with an enormous bang. This training violence unsettled Iron Mike, whose eyes widened in awe while Rousey repeatedly hip-tossed Justin Flores with the same brute skill. The former heavyweight champion finally spoke up. “It just doesn’t look fun no more,” Tyson said with a smile. “It’s fun for me,” Rousey replied from the cage. “I don’t know about him.” Tyson once dominated boxing in much the same way Rousey dominates mixed martial arts, overwhelming every opponent in their paths with a mixture of pre-fight intimidation, hard-earned skill and unstoppable force. Dana White realizes the comparison is inexact, but the UFC president believes no other athletes in the so-called combat sports have separated themselves from their competition more than Tyson and Rousey over the past 30 years. “These are two of the greatest to ever walk the planet in their sports,” White said. “Not many people in the world can relate to that.” Although the 49-yearold Tyson is years removed from any interest in competition, he saw shades of himself in the UFC’s most authoritative champion when he dropped in to meet the appreciative Rousey this week. Tyson has watched Rousey’s fights cageside for years, but hadn’t seen her training work up close. “Ronda, she’s a lady. Polite, kind, sweet and adorable,” Tyson said. “But her whole barometer is, she’s a killer. She has that killer aura, meaning anything is capable of happening. Whoa! That’s exciting before the fight even starts. I think of myself when I watch her.” Rousey (11-0) is the only women’s bantamweight champion in the UFC’s history, and the two-time U.S. Olympic judoka has dominated her new sport. She is heavily favored to win her next bout against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 1, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the most attractive pay-perview fights of the year, according to White. Rousey, who has stopped 10 of her 11 opponents in the first round, has been a big fan of Tyson for years. After the fighters chatted for several minutes, she even left her training session wearing an Iron Mike T-shirt. “Tyson is like the God of War,” White said. “When people see him at their fights, they freak out. They love fighting in front of him.” After they bumped fists, Rousey gave tips to Tyson on Armenian food, and Tyson expressed his admiration for Rousey’s training focus in front of spectators. When Tyson mentioned that his favorite moments were his post-fight return to his hotel room with “the belt and the cash,” Rousey immediately agreed. “You look in the mirror, and you’re like, ‘What happened today?’” she said. “It’s very humbling, and I was just honored that he would go through the trouble or go out of his way to watch me train,” Rousey added. “I’m really glad he was able to come, but it won’t be until after I beat Bethe and go home and go back to the hotel and look at myself in the mirror for the first time, like he was saying, that’s the moment it all hits you. He knows better than anyone what that moment is like.” Rousey has promised to make her next fight painful for Correia, the trash-talking Brazilian who has mentioned Rousey’s late father in her pre-fight taunts. Rousey, whose previous three fights lasted a total of 96 seconds, said she wants Correia to lose “in the most devastatingly embarrassing way possible.” Tyson won the heavyweight title in 1986 by knocking out six of seven opponents within the first two rounds, and he remembers that feeling of seeming invincibility. Tyson knows it’s an intoxicating position. He is glad Rousey has been able to handle it. “Listen, if you want to become anything close to being a god, the first thing you’ve got to know how to do is know how to decimate,” Tyson said. “If you’re a god, you have to know how to decimate, and that’s what she does. It would be very easy for her to have a big head, (to say), ‘I can beat anybody in this world.’ I don’t know. Maybe she’s a likeness of a god.” �SPORTS 2B Sunday, July 19, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel 2015 High School Football schedules WEEK 1 Friday, August 28 Gallia Academy at Meigs, 7:30 Rock Hill at River Valley, 7:30 South Gallia at Sciotoville East, 7:30 Lincoln County at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Ravenswood at Wahama, 7:30 Montcalm at Hannan, 7:30 Eastern at River, 7:30 Saturday, August 29 Southern at Notre Dame, 7 p.m. WEEK 2 Friday, September 4 River Valley at Southeastern, 7:30 Federal Hocking at South Gallia, 7:30 Ripley at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Waterford at Wahama, 7:30 Jenkins Independent at Hannan, 7:30 Meigs at Amanda-Clearcreek, 7 p.m. Eastern at Miller, 7:30 Frontier at Southern, 7:30 WEEK 3 Friday, September 11 Gallia Academy at Washington CH, 7:30 River Valley at Eastern, 7:30 South Gallia at Trimble, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Wayne, 7:30 Wahama at Southern, 7:30 Hannan at Green, 7:30 Meigs at Logan, 7 p.m. WEEK 4 Friday, September 18 Marietta at Gallia Academy, 7:30 River Valley at Nelsonville-York, 7:30 Manchester at South Gallia, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Logan, 7:30 Wahama at Belpre, 7:30 Vinton County at Meigs, 7:30 Federal Hocking at Eastern, 7:30 Southern at Miller, 7:30 WEEK 5 Friday, September 25 Point Pleasant at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Meigs at River Valley, 7:30 Eastern at South Gallia, 7:30 Federal Hocking at Wahama, 7:30 West Union at Hannan, 7:30 Belpre at Southern, 7:30 WEEK 6 Friday, October 2 Briefs Athens at Gallia Academy, 7:30 River Valley at Wellston, 7:30 South Gallia at Belpre, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Parkersburg South, 7:30 Trimble at Wahama, 7:30 Hannan at Miller, 7:30 Nelsonville-York at Meigs, 7:30 Waterford at Eastern, 7:30 Southern at Federal Hocking, 7:30 WEEK 7 Friday, October 9 Gallia Academy at Minford, 7:30 Alexander at River Valley, 7:30 South Gallia at Waterford, 7:30 Oak Hill at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Wahama at Eastern, 7:30 Meigs at Athens, 7:30 Southern at Trimble, 7:30 WEEK 8 Friday, October 16 Warren at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. River Valley at Vinton County, 7:30 Wahama at South Gallia, 7:30 Ravenswood at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Paden City at Hannan, 7:30 Jackson at Meigs, 7:30 Eastern at Trimble, 7:30 Waterford at Southern, 7:30 WEEK 9 Friday, October 23 Logan at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Athens at River Valley, 7:30 Southern at South Gallia, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Shady Spring, 7:30 Miller at Wahama, 7 p.m. Hannan at Tygarts Valley, 7:30 Meigs at Wellston, 7:30 Belpre at Eastern, 7:30 WEEK 10 Friday, October 30 Gallia Academy at Jackson, 7 p.m. River Valley at Shadyside, 7 p.m. South Gallia at Miller, 7:30 Bishop Donahue at Hannan, 7:30 Alexander at Meigs, 7:30 Saturday, October 31 Eastern at Southern, 7:30 WEEK 11 Friday, November 6 Point Pleasant at Princeton, 7:30 Wahama at Buffalo, 7:30 per player with skill prizes on every hole and food and beverages served throughout the round.

Changes to the league’s much-discussed moratorium and Hack-a-Shaq aren’t, at least not now. After meeting with the league’s Board of Governors on those and other topics Tuesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said that — as expected — the league is leaning toward eliminating any protection for division winners in playoff seeding going forward and instead placing the eight teams on the Eastern and Western Conference brackets based solely by record. There was no vote Tuesday, though one is expected soon. “It’s my expectation that that change will be adopted before the beginning of this coming season,” Silver said. In the past, division winners have been assured of a top-four seed. For example, this past season, Memphis and San Antonio would have been up one spot to No. 4 and No. 5 in the West bracket, while Portland — the Northwest Division winner which had four fewer wins than the Grizzlies and Spurs — would have fallen from No. 4 to No. 6. “We wanted all the owners to have an opportunity to go back and discuss that recommendation with their general managers and their coaches,” Silver said. It seems like an easy fix. The moratorium issue, that one is stumping everyone. The league has an annual window starting July 1 where deals can be agreed to, but not finalized while the salary numbers and other financial matters for the coming year are being crunched. And it got tons of attention this year when DeAndre Jordan committed to the Dallas Mavericks, then changed his mind and stayed with the Los Angeles Clippers. Jordan broke no rules; his commitment was nonbinding. “I’m not sure it was his proudest moment either,” Silver said. Changing the moratorium was discussed, and Silver said no one had a good solution. Some ideas bandied about in recent days include having a memo of understanding that could be executed to essentially lock in the commitment while the budgets for the new league year are still being worked out, or simply shortening the moratorium. “It was not a great look,” Silver said. “It’s not what we want to see happen in the moratorium period. It wasn’t created so players could enter into in essence oral agree- ments only to have those agreements superseded by binding agreements. Of course, under our collective bargaining agreement, there’s no dispute that only a signed agreement is binding. But there was a breakdown in the system to a certain extent.” In other news Tuesday: ESCAPE ROUTES The league is looking into not only widening the escape routes — the path next to the basket supports where players can decelerate in while hopefully not crashing into photographers and fans — but also adding a second one of those on each side of a basket for next season. Players have long complained about the collisions into photographers, and the issue became a huge story in the NBA Finals when LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers crashed into a cameraman and got a siz- able cut on the size of his head. HACK-A-SHAQ While it seems nobody likes Hack-A-Shaq — the mechanism where teams foul a player intentionally to send him to the line knowing the odds aren’t high that he’ll make both free throws — it might still be part of the NBA world. Ratings for NBA games don’t show that people aren’t watching because of Hack-a-Anyone. And it might serve as a signal to young players about the importance of making foul shots. “There is a sense, especially from the basketball people, that it would be sending the wrong message to the larger basketball community — particularly youth basketball — to de-emphasize the need for guys to hit free throws,” Silver said. BUCKS ARENA Silver said the notion that the Milwaukee Bucks could move to Las Vegas “is not realistic in the short term.” The Wisconsin Senate could vote as early as Wednesday on a plan to direct $55 million in state money as part of the public financing plan for a new arena, one where the Bucks’ current and former ownership have committed to giving another $250 million toward. “My hope is that team is not going to relocate,” Silver said. COUNTDOWN CLOCK The league has had a 90-second countdown clock in arenas to ensure that games start on time after starting lineups are introduced, and the same thinking may soon be applied to stoppages between quarters and for timeouts. It’s believed that a little more vigilance in that respect would shorten games slightly. NASCAR takes positive steps toward brighter future So NASCAR allowed the drivers to create a panel that they selected themselves by vote. Drivers were grouped in tiers and every manufacturer had to be represented. The first meeting, last month at Dover, put in motion the lower downforce package that was used at Kentucky. A second meeting at Daytona a week before the race opened the door for the use of a similar rules package at Darlington next month, one that features higher drag at Indianapolis and Michigan, and a new tire at Richmond. Drivers seemed genuinely pleased with the open dialogue with NASCAR, but cautioned not to expect much from Saturday night’s race at Kentucky. At issue was Goodyear’s delay in being able to produce a tire to match the lower downforce package, and driver council member Dale Earnhardt Jr. warned: “I’m not expecting Kentucky to reveal a lot of obvious answers on the direction we need to go.” It’s not clear why Earnhardt tried to temper the waters for Kentucky, but it seemed as if NASCAR expected the driver-driven rules package to fail. That’s not a surprise because it’s an opposite path than the one taken by the series leaders tasked with improving the racing. The data from Saturday night — data are always open to interpretation — suggested the drivers have been right all along in what creates the best racing. There were 2,665 greenflag passes throughout the field, compared with 1,147 last year at Kentucky. There were also a record 22 green-flag passes for the lead, up from the record of 19 set in 2011. The racing drew raves from winner Kyle Busch. Before you say “of course the winner liked it,” remember he’s the guy who widely panned the Car of Tomorrow when he won in the debut race of that car.

(AP) — What a different NASCAR we have now. The sport so married to a dictator-style reign, so resistant to meaningful change and so slow to take a stance on anything that might alienate its fan base has seemingly been turned upside down in a matter of days. In just the past month alone, chairman Brian France has taken a strong stance on a pair of social issues, including his desire to eliminate the Confederate flag at NASCAR events. His position is in stark contrast to NASCAR’s Southern roots, and will be slow to be totally embraced by fans. And last week when Ben Kennedy, great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., was involved in an accident at Kentucky Speedway, nearly every replay featured a shot of “The Stars and Bars” waving at the bottom of the screen. So it may take some time for NASCAR’s position to make a meaningful difference, but France is strongly in favor of separating his series from the negative connotation of the flag regardless of how long it takes. Same goes for improving the on-track product, which, by the way, looked a much improved Saturday night at Kentucky. The race was the first for new rules packages that have been earmarked for trial at four different tracks. This package of lower downforce was specifically recommended by the drivers, who somehow persuaded NASCAR to allow them to form a panel that has engaged in meaningful discussion with series leaders. Don’t confuse the driver council with unionization, something NASCAR has never allowed. Curtis Turner and Tim Flock in 1961 were both banned for life — Turner’s was eventually lifted — for trying to form the Federation of Professional Athletes and secondtier drivers were used at Talladega Superspeedway during a one-week boycott in 1969 as drivers tried to form the Professional Drivers Association. But times have clearly changed, with three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart even positioning present day NASCAR in “kind of a crisis situation” because of the uninspired racing. �CLASSIFIEDS 4B Sunday, July 19, 2015 LEGALS Professional Services CITY OF GALLIPOLIS INVITATION TO BID SEPTIC PUMPING Gallia Co.

(AP) — Joey Logano has rocked a victory lobster at New Hampshire, so riding the wave of the “Sharknado” craze and tussling with bloodthirsty sharks should be a drop in the chum bucket for the Team Penske driver. Logano is set to join the parade of D-list actors making campy cameos in “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” the third movie in the popular “Sharknado” series on the Syfy network. Unlike his co-stars like David Hasselhoff or Tara Reid, Logano could use a crash course on the art of movie promotion. “It comes out Wednesday? That’s good to know,” Logano said, laughing. “I’ve got one big line in that movie. You’re going to be impressed.” First up is a bit of racing at New Hampshire, which has seen 11 straight races with a different winner. Logano is as good a bet as any driver to reel in a win on Sunday — he’s pretty much a hometown boy and scored two of his nine career wins at New Hampshire — including one last September. “It’s a special place for me considering I started my first Cup race here and watched my first Cup race when I was seven here,” Logano said Friday. Logano won his first Cup race in 2009 at New Hampshire. But that was a rain-shortened win that always gnawed at Logano. Until he became a regular winner, it was considered a bit of a fluke and the rain meant Logano was denied a traditional victory celebration. This year’s winner gets to hoist 20-plus pound Loudon the Lobster in victory lane. Logano has won a much bigger prize in the sport, opening the season with a Daytona 500 victory. After winning five times last season, Daytona remains Logano’s lone triumph in 2015. But the win is enough to earn him a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. “We were fighting for top-fives (this year) and I feel like last year we were fighting for wins,” Logano said. “So we just need to find a little bit more speed.” Logano was runner-up last week to Kyle Busch at Kentucky and credited a new rules package that included lower downforce as the spark his team needed to get the No. 22 Ford rolling into contention. “Last week in Kentucky, there were a lot of unknowns and it ended up putting on a great race, I thought,” Logano said. “We had a very fast car. Both of our Team Penske cars were fast, so any time there’s a rules change it presents a huge opportunity to take advantage of developing something quicker than the rest of the teams out there.” Logano and Penske teammate Brad Keselowski not only have cameos in “Sharknado,” they swept the Magic Mile last season. Keselowski won in July and both drivers qualified for the Chase. They’d each love to taste the lobster, then kiss the bricks for owner Roger Penske. Juan Pablo Montoya delivered the 16th Indianapolis 500 victory for Penske in May. But The Captain has yet to win at the Brickyard in the Cup series. Aside from Keselowski’s 2012 win in the inaugural Nationwide race on the 2.5-mile oval, little has gone right for Penske in Indianapolis. Logano wanted to be the driver to bring home an Indy victory for his boss. “We talk a lot at Team Penske about how bad Roger wants it and what we’ve got to do to try to win that race,” he said. “There are a lot of unknowns going into that race with the rules package coming up for that.” Teams will use a higher drag rules package next week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and next month at Michigan International Speedway. For Indy and Michigan, the aero package will feature a 9-inch spoiler and 1-inch wicker bill; a rear fascia extension panel similar to what is currently used for superspeedway events; a 2-inch leading edge on the splitter; and a 43-inch splitter extension panel. That high drag package could cut speeds by nearly 10 mph. “I’m going to reserve my opinion until afterward because I don’t really think any of us know how it’s going to act,” driver Greg Biffle said. Logano has reserved judgment, as well. But he does know, no matter the race package, with four top fives in the last five races that the No. 22 is again positioned for another run at the championship. ”I feel like our team is in a great spot,” Logano said. “Last week was a good morale booster, racing for a win like that and coming to a race track that we’ve run well at before. The last two times we’ve been here Team Penske has been great here, so I think it’s all good things.” Sunday, July 19, 2015 5B Steelers sign defensive end Cam Heyward to 6-year contract PITTSBURGH (AP) — Cam Heyward spent the offseason swatting away questions about his future as the final year of his rookie deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers loomed this fall. No matter how he was asked, the defensive end always gave a variation of the same answer: “I’m good.” And now on the eve of training camp, he’s paid. Heyward agreed to a new six-year contract Thursday worth nearly $60 million that will keep him in Pittsburgh through 2020. The 26-year-old posted a picture of him signing the deal on Twitter with the caption “I love this organization.” He later tweeted “never know how much it means 2 stay a Steeler.” The Steelers are at the end of a youth movement on a defense that is trying to reinvent itself. Heyward is a key part of the process. He set a careerhigh in 2014 and tied for the team lead with 7.5 sacks as the Steelers won the AFC North title. Pittsburgh did it, however, in spite of a defense that slipped to 18th in yards allowed and 27th against the pass thanks in part to a pass rush that struggled to generate consistent pressure. Changes came quickly in the offseason. Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau left and was replaced by linebackers coach Keith Butler. Longtime defensive end Brett Keisel, who served as Heyward’s mentor, was released while safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor retired. Heyward’s future never really was in doubt. The Steelers exercised their fifth-year option on his rookie deal last spring and nailing him down long-term became a priority once quarterback Ben Roethlisberger agreed to a contract extension in March. The son of former NFL running back Craig Heyward — who played in college at Pittsburgh — grew up with a special affinity for the Steelers. He understands better than most how the team embraces continuity. As the leading edge of the next wave, Heyward has taken second-year end Stephon Tuitt under his wing in much the same way Keisel, Casey Hampton and Aaron Smith did for him. “‘He definitely is next in line,” Tuitt said during minicamp in June. “We all look up to him to become better.” And now Tuitt will have plenty of time to do it. Heyward joins a core that includes Roethlisberger, center Maurkice Pouncey and wide receiver Antonio Brown, all of whom are signed through at least the 2017 season as Pittsburgh tries to get back to its status as one of the NFL’s elite franchises. Last season’s late surge to a playoff berth was a start, but not the finish. “I think a lot of younger guys took a lot of big steps this year,” Heyward said after a wild-card loss to Baltimore in January. “We have to continue to make steps if we want to make the ultimate goal.” That step included making sure Heyward stuck around. The powerful 6-foot-5, 280pound Heyward steadily improved during each of his first four seasons, becoming one of the few consistent producers on a defense that struggled at times getting to the quarterback. Pittsburgh finished 26th in the league with just 33 sacks, a number Heyward expects to rise in 2015. “If I can become a double-digit sack guy or just take up a lot of attention so other guys get pressure, that’s fine,” he said. “The front seven has to dominate and we all have to be a part of it. We have to be interchangeable.” Maybe, though Thursday’s signing makes Heyward an integral part of a group hoping to rediscover its tenacity in 2015 and beyond. Houston, Bryant to sign big deals NEW YORK (AP) — Big names. Huge playmakers. And, now, enormous paydays. Four of five NFL players who had franchise tags assigned to them signed long-term contracts shortly before the deadline for deals Wednesday. That includes Kansas City’s Justin Houston, who became the highest-paid linebacker in NFL history, Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant, Denver wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and New England kicker Stephen Gostkowski. New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, however, didn’t get a longterm deal after he injured his right hand in a July 4 fireworks accident. Teams can designate a player before free agency in March for the franchise tag, which allows that team to retain the rights to a scheduled unrestricted free agent. Here’s a look at the five franchised players who made headlines Wednesday: ___ JUSTIN HOUSTON The Chiefs’ standout pass rusher agreed to a six-year, $101 million contract just hours before the deadline for a long-term deal, the culmination of long negotiation that made the All-Pro the highest-paid linebacker in NFL history. The deal includes $52.5 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the terms told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms were not disclosed by the team. “I just had to make sure I took care of what I needed on the field,” said Houston, who left the negotiations in the hands of his agent, Joel Segal. Houston broke Derrick Thomas’s franchise record with 22 sacks. He had four alone in a dynamic season-ending game against San Diego, leaving him a half-sack short of the NFL’s single-season record set by the Giants’ Michael Strahan. Those gaudy totals sent Houston to his third consecutive Pro Bowl and earned him first-team AllPro honors for the first time in his four-year career. Houston’s contract is also the richest in franchise history. The only defensive player to sign a larger deal is defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who agreed to a six-year, $114 million pact with the Miami Dolphins earlier this year. DEZ BRYANT The Cowboys’ All-Pro receiver signed a five-year, $70 million deal after months of posturing from both sides and less than an hour before a deadline that would have required him to play under a one-year agreement. A person close to the negotiations provided contract terms to The Associated Press because they weren’t announced. The deal includes $45 million in guaranteed money. “There was never a doubt in my mind that we wanted a long-term deal with Dez,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “We just had to get the pot right.” The 26-year-old Bryant, who led the NFL with 16 touchdowns receiving last season, had threatened to skip training camp and regular-season games without a contract to replace the $12.8 million offer for one year he had under the franchise tag. “I smiled the whole way over here. I couldn’t even say nothing but just smile and laugh, because I couldn’t believe it,” Bryant said in a story on the team’s website. “All I could just think about is that it’s a dream — a dream come true. I think the only thing that’s missing is a Super Bowl.” DEMARYIUS THOMAS The Broncos’ star wide receiver signed a five-year, $70 million contract just before the deadline. It’s the richest contract in franchise history and includes $43.5 million guaranteed. Had the sides not hammered out a deal, Thomas would have played this season under the $12,823,000 franchise tag. “Thrilled to reach a longterm deal with Demaryius,” general manager John Elway tweeted. “He is one of the NFL’s top WRs & will continue to be a big part of the Broncos’ success!!” That was a far different tone than the last time Elway spoke publicly about Peyton Manning’s top target. It was just before the draft and Elway was asked about Thomas boycotting the team’s offseason pro- gram, his only perceived leverage under the franchise tag designation. Wanting Thomas on hand as new coach Gary Kubiak installed his offense, Elway fumed then, “there’s zero value in him not being here.” That was about as unpleasant as things got, however. STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI The 31-year-old Gostkowski was closing in on a long-term deal before the deadline that could make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL. ESPN reported, according to sources, that Gostkowski was signing a fouryear, $17.2 million contract that replaced his one-year, $4.5 million franchise tender. Gostkowski went 35 for 37 on field-goal attempts last season, and has led the NFL in field goals in each of the last two years. JASON PIERRE-PAUL A person close to the negotiations told the AP that Pierre-Paul didn’t get a new long-term contract deal — no surprise since his playing status has been uncertain since he was hurt in the fireworks accident. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss Pierre Paul’s contract situation.

The park is located on Brown Street in the Town of Mason, on a site that formerly held Lewis’ home. Pictured, along with members of the AmeriCorps group, are Mason Mayor Donna Dennis, Mason County Library Director Pam Thompson, and Mason County Commissioner Rick Handley. MASON — What once had become an eyesore in the Town of Mason has been transformed into a restful, reflective park. The Virgil Lewis Memorial Reading Park on Brown Street was dedicated Friday, climaxing the year-long project that was mostly completed with volunteer labor. The reading park is located on property where Lewis once lived. The house had deteriorated and was deemed a safety hazard. The Mason County Commission determined demolition was the best solu- tion, with the idea of using portions of the house in the park. The park contains an arbor, made of wood from the house, and built by shop students at the Mason County Vocational Career Center. Bricks from the chimney form the walkway leading to two informational plaques that tell of Lewis’ life, along with the architecture of the former house. Large sandstones from the house foundation now make a “reading circle” to be used by the library next door. Finally, a concrete pad, once the floor of a small building believed to have been Lewis’ office, is now a covered picnic shelter. A site was also prepared to hold a large gazebo, but lack of funds kept it from being built. The old water well on the property is also among the projects left to be completed at a later date. Joe Geiger, director of archives and history with the West Virginia Division of Culture and History in Charleston, was the main speaker at the dedication. He spoke of Virgil Anson Lewis, who was West Virginia’s first state historian and archivist. Lewis was also a mayor of Mason, a state superintendent of schools, and an author of history books See PARK | 2C Jessica Patterson | For the Register Local author Carlene Thompson signs copies of her newest book “Can’t Find My Way Home” on Saturday at the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center. Author enjoys ‘home’ book signings Jessica Patterson For the Times-Sentinel POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Local author Carlene Thompson had her 16th book published earlier this year. Thompson visited the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center on Saturday for a book signing of her latest work, “Can’t Find My Way Home.” Thompson said she became interested in writing at a young age and was first intrigued by mysteries in the movies. “I have been interested in writing since I was in grade school. I loved mysteries. I first saw the movie 101 Dalmatians, which was a mystery about dogs being kidnapped, and I decided I was going to write books like that,” she said. See THOMPSON | 4C Mason Co. farms in pilot program Jessica Patterson For the Times-Sentinel GLENWOOD, W.Va. — West Virginia’s commercial industries could soon be expanding into the vegetable world, starting with farms in Mason County. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture and the West Virginia Conservation Agency piloted the state’s Potato Demonstration Product this year in the western region of the state. The departments are working in a joint effort with the Guyan and Western conservation districts. Walt Helmick, West Virginia commissioner of agriculture, said the state has a $6 billion gap between what people consume and what the state produces. The point of the project is to close this gap by creating more commercial agriculture in the state. He said the project is taking place in Mason, Jackson, Putnam, Cabell, Wayne and Lincoln counties. He said the WVDA chose these six counties to pilot the project because its members believe the area will be a good place for commercial agriculture to grow. “We did it on the western side because this is an area that has so much potential,” Helmick said. “Over time, we will expand it to include the rest of See FARMS | 2C Photos by Lorna Hart|Daily Sentinel Christy Clary prepared a dish with food allergies in mind. Meigs 4-H judging for state fair entrees By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com POMEROY —Judging for Meigs County 4H projects was held this week. Winners will be eligible to exhibit their projects at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus beginning July 29. Friday afternoon judging highlighted sewing, baking, cake decorating and “shopping savey.” Each entry was presented to a judge who evaluated the submission. 4-H began more than 100 years ago as a youth development movement designed to help participants appreciate rural life and its opportunities and stands for head, heart, hands and health. Today it is the larges youth development organization in the nation. Working in partnership with caring adults, participants learn leadership, citizenship and life skills. The goal is to empower all youth to reach their full potential. 4-H uses a hands on approach and members learn by doing with projects designed to fit their interest and age. The Meigs County Extension office was busy today with just such projects. The room was filled with handmade items as members sat with parents and 4H leaders while waiting their turn to present. Hannah Erwin was wearing her project of fleece pajamas and robe as she sat waiting for her turn. She has been sewing for four years, but this is her first 4H project. When asked why she chose a sewing, she said because it’s fun. Her friend Mikayla Radclffe said this was her first project. She thinks it is fun to make things and she wanted to learn to sew. For Ashley Buchanan, this is her third year baking. Inspired by a beach vacation, she has challenged herself each year to create a different interpretation. This year, Buchanan used edible glass to create a realistic aquarium between the layers of her cake. “Hot Rub for Pigs” was a totally chocolate creation except for the pink pigs rolling in the mud. Crafted by Katelin Ferguson, it was her first entry. Winners for this week’s judging will be announced later, and their projects will go on Hannah Erwin wears her Junior sewing project during judging. Stacie Pullins registers 4H participants with Michelle Stumbo and Stacie Pullins to compete at the Ohio State Fair. All 4-H projects presented during judging are eligible to be displayed at the Meigs County Fair in August. However, it seemed all entries were winners in the eyes of 4-H leaders. Each member presented a completed project of their own creation and by doing so they had learned skills and the feeling of accomplishment, just what 4H is all about.

Park From page 1C that were used in schools as textbooks. Lewis met his wife at a teacher’s conference, and all three of their daughters also became teachers. The park project was coordinated by the Rivers to Ridges Heritage Trail, with Lowell Wilks as director. Public partners in the project included the county commission, Mason County Library System, Town of Mason, and vocational career center. The park was planned, and labor executed, with volunteer efforts. AmeriCorps VISTA member Mark Simonin was the architect, and VISTA member Jim Flook served as historian. Members of AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps, Mason County Day Report and Town of Mason employees provided labor, with materials donated by Hogg & Zuspan. Rick Barnitz of Bob’s Market and Greenhouses Inc. provided free excavation work and equipment. Financial support for the park was provided by the Robert and Louise Claflin Foundation, along with Loretta Rouse and Lorina Harbrecht in honor of Hazel Heaton Lieving, the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 of Mason, Smith-Capehart American Legion Post 140 of New Haven, and Handley Law Office. Among other speakers at the dedication were Wilks, Mason Mayor Donna Dennis, and Mason County Commissioner Rick Handley. Mayor Dennis said the park is a positive addition to the town, and will complement Mason’s other recreational facility, the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W./Lottie Jenks Memorial Park. The new park, which is a day-use facility, can be used by town residents, as well as patrons of the library. The mayor added that donations are still being accepted in the hopes of completing the gazebo and water well. Monetary contributions, designated to the “Virgil Lewis Memorial Reading Park,” can be mailed to the Mason County Library Board, P.O.

Ronald Morrison, a beef cattle and hay farmer from Glenwood, is also joining in the initiative by raising six acres of potatoes this year. He said he hopes to see the project bring more income to West Virginia farmers. “I think it’s a good opportunity for farmers to have an extra income to go along with our farming,” Morrison said. “I figure, in the last two weeks I’ve lost about $25,000 worth of hay because of the weather, so I’m hoping the potatoes will help make up for that. I think it’s very important for the farmer because there is a demand. Everybody you talk to wants to buy local products and there’s really not a lot of that raised around here, so I think it’s a good idea.” Helmick said the pilot program is set for three years, and he hopes to expand the program to other parts of the state in the upcoming years.

Ninety-six percent of U.S. farms are owned and operated by families. Agriculture is the largest employer in the nation, according to trivia. Texas has the most farm acreage. The average size of a U.S. farm is between 400-450 acres. An acre of land is roughly the size of a football field. In 1960 a farmer could feed 26 peoples. Today, each farm can feed about 155 people.

The university has graduated over 16,000 students since 1986. Thompson said. “It’s a lot different than when I’ve done signings other places and you have that kind of feeling where I don’t know them, they don’t know you. No one says, ‘Your dad was my doctor’ or anything like that, so I have the most fun at these. It’s great to be here where there is just more feeling of warmth and you’re with the people you’ve grown up with and the people that you’ve always known.” Thompson, who has an international fan base for her novels, met with fans from the Bend Area, some of whom knew her or her relatives personally. One fan, Lauretta Jackson, has made it a tradition to attend Thompson’s book signings and says she loves the author’s work. “I enjoy her writing and I have all her other books. They’ve all been autographed,” Jackson said. “I like mysteries, and they just have enough intrigue to keep you very interested.” Thompson said she likes to write what she knows about, meaning many of her stories, though the plots are fictional, have settings in or resembling the region around the Ohio River. “I have set them up in real places or in made-up places. This last one was not a real place. I did a lot of research on the area, but there is not a town named that,” Thompson said. “People don’t always understand West Virginia is a separate state from Virginia. I drag stuff like that into the books because I am a native West Virginian. I’ve lived other places for short periods of time, but West Virginia is my home. I hate the bad reputation we have and if I can do anything in my books to raise that reputation, that pleases me. If I were to have a mission in writing, it would be to entertain people and to improve our image because I love West Virginia.” Thompson said she is already writing her next book, but adds that it could be some time before the it is published. by a literary magazine,” she said. “An agent saw my story and liked it and asked if I would be interFrom page 1C ested in writing a mystery Publishing a book takes novel.

With more than 15,000 students having graduated from ECOT, and with an enrollment now over 15,000, ECOT is one of the largest online K-12 schools in the United States. WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — If you’re walking north along Market Street — near the entrance to the Wheeling Tunnel and the back entrance to the old Stone & Thomas Department Store, now the Stone Center — and happen to look up, you’ll see a faded sign for “Becker’s Hardware.” The business ceased to be a going concern in fall 2001, which is a shame according to local farmer Andy Hogan. “You don’t see a hardware store like that anymore,” Hogan said while walking around his property outside of Bethany. “There was more knowledge in there. I feel sorry for young people today because they don’t know what a real hardware store is like. That place was the real deal. You could get anything in there.” Indeed, Hogan remembers his mother purchasing a Conestoga wagon wheel in the 1990s that was “new old stock.” New in the sense that it hadn’t been sold. But old in the sense that it had been in the store’s inventory for decades. He also remembers the store’s wooden floors.

Becker opened up shop at 1054 Market St. The store was four stories high, with items stored in wooden cabinets. And was equally divided between hardware and animal feed. The main feed contract being with Ralston Purina. It remained in the same place throughout its existence, save for a couple of years after a fire in 1923. Becker’s grandson, Donald Stenger, grew up in the business. He’s 66 years old now, though he vividly remembers going to the store as a toddler to see his father, who ran the place. It was pretty much the same then as it was when he closed it down — hardware and feed. He and his sister both worked there as children. And after leaving the area for a few years, he came back to run it for its last 20 years of existence. He said it was best known for its customer service. “You know it was a AP photo The faded building sign for Beckers Hardware, which closed in 2001, stands in Wheeling, W. Va. family business,” he said. “And as a family business your customers became more than just customers. The people you know by name, call you by name. You load something into their vehicle if it needs loaded. You extend them various courtesies that you don’t get at a big box.” Time simply passed Becker’s Hardware by, Stenger said of his decision to close the business after 92 years. Downtown had changed a lot he said. Stone & Thomas was gone. Hornes was gone. Many businesses had moved to the surrounding malls, and people simply weren’t on the street during the lunch hour. He had an auction to liquidate the inventory and came across some interesting items. “One of the things we found on the upper floors was an engine — a single piston gas engine — and I quite frankly didn’t know what it was,” he said. “My auctioneer at the time said it was a valuable and interesting piece.” While he misses Becker’s, Stenger said that perhaps he was ready to move on. He currently has no plans to reopen the business. Though he agrees with Hogan that something definitely was lost when he closed the doors for good. “There is a wealth of knowledge in these older stores,” he said. “A lot of people out there may have the knowledge, but is it concentrated in one store? Probably not.” The summit of protection and beauty TAKE BEAUTY AND PROTECTION TO THE TOP.
