Gallia GOP host corn roast By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com RIO GRANDE — Gallia County Republicans hosted their annual corn roast Thursday at the Bob Evans Farm shelter house with local government officials appearing to discuss the future of county and national politics. Russ Moore, Gallia County GOP vice-chairman, welcomed all comers to partake in a variety of classic grillstyle foods from a menu of burgers, bratwursts, hot dogs, and, of course, corn. Commander Bill Mangus of the Gallipolis Veterans of Foreign Wars post 4464 led fellow honor guards in the presentation of flags ceremony. The Pledge of Allegiance soon followed while the crowd remained standing to sing “America, The Beautiful.” Moore led the invocation and the crowd soon lined up to begin eating. Music was provided by local country art- ist and singer, Shana Smith. Republican office holders and candidates were introduced. Kennison Saunders, Gallia County GOP chairman, spoke briefly of the Republican party and its role in local government while thanking his fellow party mates currently in office. He introduced Gallia County Auditor Larry Betz, who then introduced guest speaker Clarence Mingo, Franklin County Auditor. “I will tell you I’ve been to the state in various places and on rare occasion have I seen two things. One is such patriotism. You all are very faithful and dedicated to the cause that you support, and that would be our party. That is good to see. There is much work to be done and I can see that Gallia County is ready and to do that part well,” Mingo said. “The other thing that I noticed - I think this is a rarity in just about every part of America - that is to see elected officials actually (working) the (event) here.” By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com Dean Wright | Sunday Times-Sentinel Ohio State Representative Ryan Smith (left) speaks with corn roast guest speaker and Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo. Mingo spoke on current controversial issues in American politics. He spoke of the “necessity” to confront ISIS in the Middle East and the organization’s growing reach. He noted it was important to respect fellow Americans of opposing beliefs, but that he was not in favor of the current federal Supreme Court ruling on the issue of samesex marriage. Mingo declared his Christian beliefs to an applause of approval.

According to Ohio Revised Code Section 3701.13, Ohio Health Departments, in order to retain funding, must apply for accreditation by July 1, 2018 and be accredited by July 1, 2020. “People may think this is a long span of time, but it’s not when you’ve got this on top of day to day stuff, including a reduced workforce, plus people retire,” Meigs County Health Department Administrator Courtney Midkiff said. Midkiff, along with her current position at the health department, has also been designated as Meigs County’s accreditation coordinator. Meigs MASON, W.Va. — Hundreds of local families, in need of a little assistance as their children return to school, have beneﬁted the past few years when Soul Harvest Church of Mason, W.Va. has held its Back-toSchool Outreach. This year’s event will be held Sat., Aug. 8, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the church, located at 500 Adamsville Road. The outreach will feature free school supplies, lunch, and entertainment for the kids.

Among the items to be given out are pencils, sharpeners, crayons, markers, colored pencils, pens, paper and notebooks, folders, index cards, scissors, glue sticks, rulers and other items. In addition, personal care items such as shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes are offered.

Families attending will be treated to lunch, including hotdogs and drinks. An inﬂatable slide and bounce house will be provided at the outreach to keep children entertained while parents are in line. See OUTREACH | 4A GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Commissioners and Gallia County Children’s Services discussed Thursday turning the old Gallia County Children’s Home into affordable housing units. Since 2002, the building which housed both the children’s services and home sits now as only the children’s services ofﬁce. According to Gallia County Children’s Services Executive Director Russ Moore, the children’s services ofﬁce is currently looking for a way to make use of the available space that sits unused in the building. The proposed solution is to turn the remaining rooms not used as ofﬁce space into affordable housing units. Affordable housing is categorized by a household income status determined often by state and federal standards. Gallia County Children’s Services has proposed partnering with Integrated Services of Appalachian Ohio, based out of Athens, and Fairﬁeld Housing, based out of Lancaster. “The idea that we have in mind is to attract affordable housing tax credits and considerable investment through the tax credit program for affordable housing for families.

The pre-application assessment phase will include acquiring community health assessment, a community health improvement plan, and a strategic plan. The department is also working on 12 domains and 100 measures documenting the work the department is doing. Once all three prerequisitions are met the department must pay a fee to apply for accreditation, followed by documenta- tion, selection and submission. Documents are uploaded to PHAB, who looks over the documentation and makes a three-day site visit probably in late 2019, Midkiff said. Once the site visit is completed a facility will either be labeled as accredited or not. Facilities not up to accreditation standards may be given a year to ﬁx whatever issues were presented and become Dean Wright | Sunday Times-Sentinel The Gallia County Children’s Home, which currently also houses Gallia County Children’s Services, was built in 1900.

It’s a federal program run state-by-state. So, the Ohio Financing Agency runs the program. Developers and housing teams put applications together for what they think is the best housing model project and what fits the most needs,” Walters said. Gallia County Commissioners stated they had some concern with accredited. Midkiff said PHAB will only announce if a facility is accredited, will not announce any facilities that have failed to become accredited. Currently, the Meigs County Health Department is using the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) steering committee’s national model as a model to use for application for accreditation. The three MAPP assessments that the county has used so far are the Community Themes and Strengths Assessment, the Community Health Status Assessment and the Forces of Change Assessment. Currently, the health department is working with other county partners to identify data problems and who is going to work on the problems as a community. “It’s not just about the health department, it’s about working as a community,” Midkiff said. The health department has also completed focus groups and surveys for data collection — all information that, once collected, will be available to the public and other agencies as well. “It’s not just going to be done and set on a shelf,” Midkiff said. “It has to be continuous documenting.” Midkiff added that re- how the legal aspects of the proposed deal would work with children’s services still being present in the building alongside tenants. Integrated Services would be supposedly be present in the facility to help remedy behavioral and support services for families living there whereas Fairfield Hous- accreditation must happen every ﬁve years, calling for continuous documentation and research. The health department also received aid from Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, which helped with four assessments and reports for the community health assessment portion of preapplication. Along with the accreditation project, Midkiff wanted the public to be made aware of a new health levy that will be on the Meigs County ballot November of this year. The one mill tax levy currently in place will expire Dec. 31, 2016, and if this new one mill levy passes it will be in place alongside the other one mill levy, and will then replace it Jan. 1, 2017. Midkiff said the renewal is necessary because of the lack of funds currently, which the additional levy will help. The current levy brings in about $240,000 a year, with this new levy bringing in about $350,000 a year — over $100,000 more than the previous levy. Because the Meigs County Health Department serves a county of fewer than 50,000 residents, there is a health department accreditation fee in place.

This is a kind of housing for families who have health and behavioral health needs beyond which are typical in the general population,” Kevin Gillespie, Integrated Services representative, said. “We’d like to develop some garden style apartments that are pretty different from any kind of affordable housing that’s probably been seen in Gallia County.” Jennifer Walters, president of Fairfield Housing, a property management and real estate development agency, proposed helping handle the legal and construction aspects with the potential renovation of the building in question. “The tax credit program is an affordable housing program that started in 1986 under Ronald Reagan.

Midkiff said the health department was lucky enough to receive a $10,000 grant from the Ohio Public Health Partnership, which also helped with the preapplication for accreditation process. The department also currently receives about $385,000 in grant funds from coming from the state, but as of Jan. 1, 2016 the local health departments will have to pay the state the amount up front. In this case, the Meigs County Health Department will need to pay the state $385,000 and will be reimbursed the exact amount. “We’re supposed to have money to support the grants until we get the money in, so that’s gonna be important for the levy for the grants,” Midkiff said. She added that while Ohio’s accreditation mandate has been in the works for a while, a mandate went into effect July 2014. In July of next year Rick Hodges, Ohio Department of Health director, will evaluate counties to see how prepared they are for accreditation, and if it seems counties are struggling, Hodges has the power to push the accreditation date back a few years, Midkiff said. However, until then preparations must be made. “We need the public to basically become aware that we have to do this,” she said. Midkiff added that while preparing accreditation along with the everyday work will be difﬁcult, in the end this accreditation will help the community overall, as it will support conformity to standards and measures. “We want people in the community to know we’re doing this for the community to better serve the people of Meigs County and to retain our services, which is ultimately going to beneﬁt the public health of all,” Midkiff said.

Ron Branch of Mason was having serious surgery. Growing up on Mission Ridge as a child it was just a normal scene to see neighbors come together when a need for help would arise. What a great lesson of unselﬁshness that was for us children and today I believe that pattern still remains in some hearts. I was reminded of a caring love while traveling through Mason after Pastor Branch’s surgery. I noticed vehicles parked along the road below his house. Wondering if something went wrong during surgery I looked up the bank to his house and saw a love for their fellow man. Several guys were scanning his yard with lawnmowers. I was reminded again that the good is still among us and sometimes we overlook them and forget to say God bless you. I was touched at what I saw. Evelyn Roush New Haven THEIR VIEW Social Security turns 80 Aug. 14 By Marcus Geiger Guest Columnist Eighty years ago, on Aug. 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. The new law guaranteed a basic income for retirees and, at the time, the unemployed. Over the years, Social Security has expanded its safety net to provide beneﬁts for retirees, people with disabilities and the chronically ill, and spouses and children of deceased workers. The agency has evolved to serve the needs of a changing America. Now, we’re celebrating this historic anniversary by looking at both our successful past, and the path to an even brighter future. Social Security is there for you during all stages of life. Right from the beginning, we issue a unique Social Security number to most newborns when an application is taken at the hospital. This allows us to track your income over your working career and accurately calculate your retirement beneﬁt. We provide disability beneﬁts to injured and chronically ill workers and their families. We provide survivors beneﬁts to widows, widowers, and the minors of deceased workers. We also provide Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to those with low income and resources, and Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs for people who qualify. In our decades of experience, Social Security has evolved to meet the fast-paced demands of the digital world. Creating an online my Social Security account, for instance, let’s you view your Social Security Statement, verify the accuracy of your earnings record, and get estimates of future monthly beneﬁts. Once you begin receiving Social Security beneﬁts, you can use your online account to manage your record, including changing your address and phone number, checking your beneﬁt information, changing your electronic payment method, and obtaining an instant beneﬁt veriﬁcation letter or replacement SSA-1099/1042S. If you haven’t already, you can easily sign up for a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount. Our safe and secure online services allow you to apply for retirement, spouse’s, Medicare, and disability beneﬁts from the comfort of your home. You can quickly complete an online retirement application at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyonline. Looking to the future, we recently released our Vision 2025, a strategic plan to help us shape the future of Social Security service delivery and maintain clear communication with you. For more information about our vision for the next ten years, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/vision2025. We look to the next 80 years with a renewed commitment to proudly serving Social Security customers throughout their lifetime, when and where they need us. See how Social Security has evolved over the years at www.socialsecurity.gov/history. Marcus Geiger is Social Security district manager in Gallipolis. TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, July 26, the 207th day of 2015. There are 158 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On July 26, 1945, President Harry S. Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek issued the Potsdam Declaration, which called upon Imperial Japan to unconditionally surrender, or face “prompt amd utter destruction.” The same day, Churchill resigned as Britain’s prime minister after his Conservatives were soundly defeated by the Labour Party; Clement Attlee succeeded him. On this date: In 1775, Benjamin Franklin became America’s first PostmasterGeneral. In 1788, New York became the 11th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1882, the Richard Wagner opera “Parsifal” premiered in Bayreuth, Germany. In 1908, U.S. Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte ordered creation of a force of special agents that was a forerunner of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1925, five days after the end of the Scopes Trial in Dayton, Tennessee, prosecutor William Jennings Bryan died at age 65. (Although Bryan had won a conviction against John T. Scopes for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the verdict was later overturned.) In 1952, Argentina’s first lady, Eva Peron, died in Buenos Aires at age 33. King Farouk I of Egypt abdicated in the wake of a coup led by Gamal Abdel Nasser. In 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria sank off New England, some 11 hours after colliding with the Swedish liner Stockholm; at least 51 people died. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. In 1965, the Maldives became independent of Britain. In 1971, Apollo 15 was launched from Cape Kennedy on America’s fourth successful manned mission to the moon. In 1989, Mark Wellman, a 29-year-old paraplegic, reached the summit of El Capitan in Yosemite (yoh-SEHM’uh-tee) National Park after hauling himself up the granite cliff six inches at a time over nine days. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 1995, businessman, former Michigan governor and U.S. housing secretary George W. Romney died at age 88. Ten years ago: America’s manned space program roared back to life with the launch of Discovery, 2 1/2 years after the Columbia disaster. Six nations resumed nuclear disarmament talks that North Korea had boycotted for 13 months, but little progress was made. Cubs pitcher Greg Maddux recorded his 3,000th career strikeout against San Francisco in the third inning of a 3-2, 11-inning victory for the Giants. Five years ago: A U.N.-backed tribunal sentenced the Khmer Rouge’s chief jailer, Kaing Guek Eav, to 35 years for overseeing the deaths of up to 16,000 people in Cambodia, with 16 years shaved off for time already served, reducing his sentence to 19 years. A Spanish man who’d undergone the world’s first full face transplant appeared before TV cameras; the 31-yearold, identified only as “Oscar,” thanked his doctors and the family of the donor. Matt Garza pitched the first no-hitter in Tampa Bay Rays history, beating the Detroit Tigers 5-0. One year ago: Hamas resumed rocket fire on Israel after rejecting its offer to extend a humanitarian ceasefire, the latest setback in international efforts to negotiate an end to the Gaza war. The United States shuttered its embassy in Libya and evacuated its diplomats to neighboring Tunisia under U.S. military escort as fighting intensified between rival militias. Dr. Samuel Brisbane, one of Liberia’s most high-profile doctors, died of Ebola; an American physician in Liberia, Dr. Kent Brantly, was reported to have caught the disease, but recovered.

THEIR VIEW Portman speaks on county land banks Submitted WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) spoke on the Senate ﬂoor urging his colleagues to protect funding for county land banks, which he feels has been put at risk by the Senate’s highway bill, the Developing a Reliable and Innovative Vision for the Economy (DRIVE) Act. Portman says he has long fought for the ability for Ohio communities to tap into additional funds to demolish vacant, blighted structures, which pose a growing threat to the public safety and economic well-being of communities. In 2013, Portman introduced the Neighborhood Safety Act to allow states to use resources from the Hardest Hit Fund to tackle this problem. Ohio has over 80,000 vacant properties awaiting demolition, posing a signiﬁcant risk to public safety and drasti- cally decreasing the value of surrounding properties, according to Portman’s ofﬁce. Municipalities and local land banks have worked collaboratively to demolish vacant properties, but with municipal budgets already stretched, there is little money available. �LOCAL 6A Sunday, July 26, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel GALLIA COUNTY BRIEFS GALLIA COUNTY COMMUNITY CALENDAR Southern Ohio Council of Government sets July meeting day evenings.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — After over a decade leading both the track and field and cross country teams at Eastern High School, Josh Fogle has taken over athletic director duties at EHS. “The athletic directors that we’ve had have been great,” Fogle added. “Pam Douthitt was athletic director for 30-some years, Sam Thompson did a great job for the last two years and I have to maintain the high stan- dard that they set. Everyone knows how great of a job they did, so I just have to maintain the high level of expectation.” Fogle, who also serves as the EHS art teacher, has coached 10 league championship track and field teams, while coaching four cross country league championship teams. This passed fall the Lady Eagles advanced to the state cross country meet for the first time in school history. “I love coaching, it’s one of the main reasons I teach,” Fogle said. “I’ve always done my own thing and made my own schedule, and they have kind of always let me go where I wanted. That was never a big issue and I don’t think that a lot will change from the coaching aspect.” The timing may have not been in Josh’s original plans, but the athletic director position was something that he couldn’t pass up. “I thought that eventually this would be something I would do after I stopped coaching,” Fogle said. “It See FOGLE | 2B OVP SPORTS BRIEFS River Valley Middle School football BIDWELL, Ohio — River Valley will start its middle school football on Monday, August 10, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at RVMS.

(AP) — Jeff Gordon felt right at home Thursday back in small-town Indiana. His parents, some of his longtime friends and even some of his former high school teachers were among hundreds of people lining the streets in Pittsboro to celebrate Gordon as he wraps up his ﬁnal full-time season in NASCAR. It was a ﬁtting place for the biggest stop yet on his farewell tour. Here, a short drive from Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Gordon honed his racing skills before he was old enough to obtain a driver’s license. Here, he learned the importance of balancing weekend races with daily life. And now, three days before driving in his ﬁnal Brickyard 400, Gordon came back to a community full of tall corn stalks, endless farming ﬁelds and dozens of mementoes bearing his well-known No. 24 to thank his biggest fans. “This is very cool,” Gordon said after participating in the short parade and brief awards ceremony. “Pittsboro is obviously very memorable to me because we lived here, raced out of here. Several years ago, they named Jeff Gordon Boulevard, so there have always been great experiences here. But to come here and have it be my last Brickyard 400, it’s pretty overwhelming. It’s putting a big smile on my face for the weekend.” The only thing that would make this weekend better would be reaching victory lane Sunday to become the ﬁrst six-time winner on the speedway’s historic 2.5-mile oval. While the 43-year-old Gordon is not an Indiana native by birth, he is one of the state’s favorite sons. His parents moved from California to Pittsboro when Gordon was a rising star on the teenage racing circuit. They wound up in a small, suburban community west of Indy that was willing to support their son’s aspirations along and the importance of Midwestern values. If Gordon didn’t understand those principles before arriving in Indiana, he did by the time he started racing stock cars. After winning one race with a daring late move, Gordon’s stepfather forced him to hand the winner’s trophy to the second-place ﬁnisher and told him: “That’s not how we race.” Gordon never made that mistake again and his genteel approach to racing has won over fans throughout Indiana — and beyond. “I think it’s pride, pride to have somebody from a small town do as good as Jeff’s done and to be the kind of a man, the gentleman that he is,” 78-yearold Pat McClain said. In Indiana, there couldn’t be a better combination. From Milan’s Bobby Plump to Martinsville’s John Wooden, from Bedford’s Damon Bailey to Rushville’s Tony Stewart, every little town seems to have a story — and a celebrity. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler hails from Santa Claus. Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens played prep basketball in Zionsville and college basketball at DePauw in Greencastle. And everyone knows Larry Bird is from French Lick. But Gordon has become one of the state’s best ambassadors, which is why everyone wanted to share the stage with him Thursday. Pittsboro Police Chief Christi Patterson named Gordon an honorary police ofﬁcer and presented him a real badge. Tri-West superintendent Rusty King gave Gordon a plaque of the diploma he earned in 1989 with an inscription that read in part, “to our most famous graduate.” Town ofﬁcials handed Gordon the proclamation papers from county and state leaders declaring Thursday as Jeff Gordon Day, and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence presented Gordon with the Sagamore of the Wabash award — the highest state honor for a civilian. “He may not have been born in Indiana. But as his parents told me, he came here as soon as he knew about it,” Pence joked. “He is a Hoosier through and through.” This year’s farewell tour has included some memorable stops including driving the pace car in May’s Indianapolis 500. The No. 24 will be on the hood of the pace car Sunday, too. Yet after 92 Sprint Cup wins, four titles and ﬁve victories down the road at Indianapolis, the Rainbow Warrior saved his most emotional moments for his hometown crowd. “This has been one of the best days of my life and I say that sincerely,” Gordon said, his voice cracking, “because I not only get to see what Pittsboro’s meant to me, I get to see what Pittsboro’s meant to you by the way you’ve come out and supported me. This to me is a very, very special day.” �2B Sunday, July 26, 2015 Briefs SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Whitney Terry signs with Hocking College From page 1B champion and school record holder Logan Allison.

She works hard in the classroom and on the court, you couldn’t ask for a better kid.” Terry, who held a 2.82 grade point average at GAHS, will major in nursing while at Hocking.

Miller told SI.com on Thursday night that he plans to start the season in the H-back position and also hopes to return punts. He had surgery to repair of torn labrum in his throwing shoulder before the start of last season and sat out while J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones led the Buckeyes to their first national title since 2002. “It’s a long process to get back totally to throwing and throwing every day,” Miller told SI.com. “This is the smarter thing for right now. God blessed me with a lot of talent and different opportunities. I’m going to have fun with that and still score a lot of touchdowns and help the team out and be dominant at that.” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer told The Columbus Dispatch that Miller was premature in talking about his position switch. “I haven’t made those decisions yet,” Meyer told the newspaper. “It’s a little bit jumping the gun here. Braxton came to see me. He’s been talking to me about it. We’ve been working at it, but I’m not ready to say exactly how we’re going to use him yet.” With Miller out last season, Barrett led Ohio State to an 11-1 record before breaking his ankle. Jones stepped in and guided the Buckeyes to victories in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin, the national semifinal against Alabama and the championship game against Oregon. That left Ohio State looking at a three-man competition for the starting quarterback job, with three players that could start on just about any team in the country. The competition, however, never really got started. Of the three quarterbacks, Jones was the only one healthy enough to fully take part in spring practice. Barrett progressed well enough that Meyer and his staff had no worries he would be ready to compete come August and preseason practice. Miller, though, still needed to be cleared by doctors to throw full strength. He tweeted out that he had received a clean bill of health a few weeks back and re-iterated he had no intention of transferring from Ohio State. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Miller could have switched schools and played immediately this year as a graduate transfers, but decided to return to Ohio State for a fifth season. He threw 52 touchdown passes in his first three seasons at Ohio State, but it was as a runner that Miller was special. He ran for 3,054 yards and 32 scores and was the Big Ten player of the year in 2012 and 2013. The H-back in Ohio State’s spread offense is a do-it-all position that combines some receiver and running back duties. The Buckeyes can add Miller to talented group of playmakers that includes running back Ezekiel Elliott, H-Backs Jalin Marshall and Dontre Wilson, and wide receivers Michael Thomas and Corey Smith. The Buckeyes open at Virginia Tech on Sept. 7. AP SPORTS BRIEFS CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers have traded second-round pick Rakeem Christmas to the Indiana Pacers for a second-round selection in 2019. The Cavs selected Christmas, who averaged 17.5 points and 9.1 rebound as a senior at Syracuse, with the No. 36 overall pick last month. He appeared in four summer league games for the Cavs in Las Vegas, averaging 8.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 20.9 minutes. Pacers President Larry Bird said the team liked the 6-foot-9 Christmas when he worked out for them before the draft. Christmas was thought to have a shot at making Cleveland’s roster for next season, but Cavs general manager David Grifﬁn decided instead to acquire a future asset for him.

Again and again and again the defending women’s Olympic allaround champion emphatically slaps her right hand on one of the picnic tables that sit just past the front desk at Buckeye Gymnastics, the latest home in her nomadic career. The 19-year-old isn’t angry, exactly. She’s just over the skepticism surrounding a “comeback” she insists isn’t a comeback at all. “I took a break,” Douglas says between laughs, pounding on that poor table one more time. “It’s not like I retired for 30 years. I mean, come on. I’m still young. I’m still fresh.” Competing in next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janiero was always part of her plan. The day after she made history in London as the ﬁrst African-American to reach the top of her sport with a showstopping performance at the 2012 Games, Douglas and then-coach Liang Chow talked about celebrating again four years later. She just didn’t imagine trying to become the ﬁrst woman to repeat in nearly 50 years like this: in a new gym with a new coach, sky-high expectations and a reality ﬁlm crew from the Oxygen Network on hand to capture it all. With about a year to go until the ﬂame is lit, Douglas will compete in the U.S. for the ﬁrst time since the 2012 Olympic Trials on Saturday when she takes the ﬂoor for the Secret Classic in Chicago. It will be an unveiling for Gabby Douglas 2.0: the older, wiser and decidedly more jacked version of the girl with the killer routines and the kilowatt smile who won over the world and an avalanche of sponsors on that brilliant August day three years ago. On the surface, this weekend is a tuneup for the national championships next month. Beneath, however, is a quest to silence the doubt that surrounds Douglas’ bid to become the ﬁrst repeat Olympic all-around gold medalist since Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia in 1968. “When people say I can’t do something, I love it,” Douglas said. “I just say, ‘all right, let’s go. Let’s get it.’ I’m more conﬁdent. More courageous. More warriorminded.” Douglas will need to rely on that mentality heavily if she wants to soar to heights even the all-time greats — from Nadia Comaneci to Mary Lou Retton to Nastia Liukin — never reached. All three Olympic champions tried to extend their careers following their golden moment. Comaneci came the closest to adding a second all-around gold, earning silver in Moscow in 1980. Yard Sale AP Photo/John Minchillo In this Friday, July 17, 2015, photo, gymnast Gabby Douglas trains on the balance beam at Buckeye Gymnastics in Westerville, Ohio. The day after she made history in London as the first African-American to reach the top of her sport with a showstopping performance at the 2012 Games, Douglas and then-coach Liang Chow talked about celebrating again four years later. She just didn’t imagine trying to become the first woman to repeat in nearly 50 years like this: in a new gym with a new coach, sky-high expectations and a reality film crew from the Oxygen Network on hand to capture it all. Retton retired barely a year after her triumph at Los Angeles in 1984. Liukin’s late bid for a spot on the 2012 team ended when her throbbing shoulders ﬁnally said “enough” during Trials. For all its beauty and eyepopping athleticism, gymnastics is really about the grind. The supernova Douglas became in London was chiseled during nearly a decade of a relentless and sometimes mind-numbing routine, one she blissfully hit pause on after stepping off the podium with gold draped around her neck. There was the post-Olympic tour. The book. The biography that turned into a made-for-TV movie. A steady stream of appearances and speaking engagements. The perks that come with glory are also among the biggest obstacles to recapturing it. “You feel like you have to choose,” Liukin said. “Are you going to take advantage of these opportunities or are you going to train?” Douglas has remained pragmatic even if the plan she mapped Help Wanted General out after London took a few unexpected turns. She left Chow’s gym in Iowa to reunite with her family in Los Angeles in 2013. Barely six months later Douglas was back with Chow to begin the process of prepping for Rio only to leave abruptly last summer in search of a fresh start. One problem: she couldn’t ﬁnd a new coach. Her mother, Natalie Hawkins, stresses the issue wasn’t personal but practical. For all of Douglas’ talent, taking her in also comes with inherent risk. Everything she does going forward will be judged against what she accomplished during that giddy night on Aug. 2, 2012. The bar is set ridiculously high. So is the pressure to clear it. Her next chapter is beginning at a thriving if modest converted warehouse in a north Columbus suburb. Linked with longtime Buckeye Gymnastics coach Kittia Carpenter through a mutual acquaintance, Douglas arrived last summer for a two-week tryout that turned into something more permanent.

By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com MILTON, W.Va. — Blenko Glass Company, located in Milton, W.Va., will hold its Festival of Glass on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, Aug. 1. Located at at 9 Bill Blenko Dr., Milton, Blenko, as the company is usually refered to, has been family-owned and operated company since 1893. This American glass company began producing glass in 1893 when an Englishman named William John Blenko brought his glass making skills to the United States. Using what was known as Old World techniques, Blenko produced window glass in his Kokomo, Ind. studio. At that time, he was unable to sell his glass because of a prejudice against glass made outside the continent. Most stained glass windows were made in European stained glass studios, and although the glass was the same, studios refused to use it. Blenko returned to England where he exported the same product he made in Indiana to the European studios. Although Blenko moved back to the United States in 1899 and remained involved in the sale of glass, he did not attempt to produce glass again until 1921. He chose the town of Milton as the location of his new glass factory after the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad convinced him Courtesy Blenko Topaz Moonshine Jug is ready to hold a favorite beverage. Courtesy Water bottle is Blenko’s signature piece;pictured bottle is featured in Bermuda blue Lorna Hart | Sunday Times-Sentinel Blenko gift shop ready for Festival. the town was an ideal location. According to rail road ofﬁcials, there was a dependable source of sober, industrious labor and cheaply priced natural gas, the fuel used in all the glass producing furnaces. The enterprise was a success, and Blenko Glass Company has been producing beautiful, colorful glass in Milton since that time. Skilled craftsmen and imaginative designs made Blenko well known for their hand-blown glass. Today many glass factories are automated and able to mass produce pieces. Using newer and more efﬁcient technology, American glass companies were unable to compete with this lower priced glass and as a result, forced to close their doors. Of the hundreds of original glass factories in the Ohio River Valley, Blenko is the only company still producing today. Although much of the knowlege and art of hand blown glass was lost as a result of the closures, the craft is still going strong at Blenko. New colors and designs are produced each year to the delight of glass enthusiasts. A guided tour of the factory allows visitors a glimpse into the world of hand made glass by giving them an opportunity to observe glass being made much as it was in the 1920’s. Viewers can see the hot melted glass take shape as they watch the craftsman at work. Now in it’s 8th year, the Blenko Glass Festival is a time when collectors and novices come together to share their love of Blenko, traveling from all parts of the country for the opportunity to join in the fes- tivities. For many it has become an annual event. The event features glass blowing demonstrations and classes where students are able to make their own glass pieces. Students are guided by skilled craftsmen as they make a vase, ornament, a piece of jewelry or even a ring. The festival also gives visitors an opportunity to learn the history of Blenko as told by the numerous pieces of glass in the Blenko Museum.

Lorna Hart can be reached at 740992-2155 EXT.2551 Honoring 50 years of tradition By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT — The Peoples Bank Fair Scholarship, a long-standing tradition in Mason County, just turned 50. Known as “the fair scholarship” over the years, 130 students have benefited from it and over $115,000 has been raised for those local students to attend college. Peoples Bank honored the tradition of the scholarship, past winners and presented this year’s winners at a special reception held Thursday night at the Main St. branch. Sharon Stapleton of Peoples Bank spoke at the reception, welcoming guests and speaking about what the scholarship means to the bank and the community. Stapleton then introduced Rodney Wallbrown, WVU Extension Agent and judge on the fair scholarship committee. Wallbrown spoke about how the scholarship was funded in the past and how it’s funded now with sponsors, which this year include Southern States Cooperative, Mt. Alto Food Mart, City Ice and Fuel, Crank and Kirkpatrick Animal Hospital and Peoples Bank. He said he became introduced to the fair scholarship when he was a vo-ag teacher with Mason County Schools and saw firsthand how it benefited local students who were “deserving and hard working people.” As a judge he spoke about Beth Sergent/Register Past and present winners of the Peoples Bank Fair Scholarship gathered at a reception held at the bank on Thursday evening. how applicants are scored, the points system and how each judge scores the contestants separately and then ranks them. He said over the years the applicants reaffirmed for him how impressive local youth were and would change anybody’s mind who thought ill of the younger generation who were going to be creating the future. Wallbrown said judges meet with kids each year and hear about their dreams and tell them “you can do it.” Applicants for this year’s scholarships were BreAnna Ball, Richelle Boswell, Brad Chattin, Ashten Crank, Derrick Jackson, Samantha Machir, Brandon K. Sayre, Adam Wilson, Mary Grace Workman. Normally the scholarships are presented at the fair but since this year was the 50th anniversary, Peoples Bank made an exception and awarded them early and at the special reception. This year’s winners include: Alternate, Mary Grace Workman. Third place and winner of $500, Brandon K. Sayre. Second place and winner of $1,000, Derrick Jackson. First place and winner of $1,500, Adam Wilson. Wilson was presented his award by James Dunn, winner of the first fair scholarship back in 1965.

(AP) — A tattered, teastained prop Mexican ﬂag hangs on a cabin on stage for the performance of the classic outdoor drama “Honey in the Rock.” However, it’s not just any old prop ﬂag. It’s a beloved memento, symbolizing U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin’s former life as an actor, when he played the role of David Morgan 51 years ago. And to Scott Hill, general manager of Theatre West Virginia, it’s a symbol of rebirth. On a warm, cloudy Friday night, Theatre West Virginia kicked off its 55th season, the ﬁrst full season it’s had for a few years. However, this time, the classic tale began a bit differently. Goodwin stepped out of the cabin and walked across the stage, while the rest of the actors froze where they were standing. “Fifty-one years ago, I stood on this spot introducing myself as David Morgan for the ﬁrst time,” Goodwin told the audience at the Cliffside Amphitheatre in Grandview, near Beckley. “A third of the state’s history has passed since then. Many David Morgans have come and gone since then.” As he spoke, his wife Kay sat in the front row, watching her husband and smiling. Goodwin then delivered a familiar speech, the same one he delivered 51 years ago. “We are West Virginia, a part of it at least,” Goodwin said. “I’m David Morgan out of the 1860s. We are here to tell you a story — a strange and wonderful story — a story of this land, of mountains washed down smooth by the beating grinding eons of time, hills and valleys, cliffs and bottoms and underneath it all, the honey in the rock. We are here to tell you tonight how this, our land, became the 35th state in the United States. It was a destructive and difﬁcult time. We are here on April 12, 1861.” “Thank you, your honor,” actor Richard Isemonger said as he walked across the stage, introducing himself as David Morgan. As the story goes, Morgan was in the Mexican war and he was given the ﬂag because he was a war hero. He sent it to his father, John Morgan, who displayed the ﬂag on his son’s birthday. “It speaks to fathers’ and sons’ relationships and how that the dad could be so proud of his son and can’t say it sometimes. So, he has to use the ﬂag as a way to say he’s really proud of his son,” Hill explained. The ﬂag is later taken away by evil forces and is returned when everything is made right. “It’s not only a piece of fabric,” Hill said. “It’s a story of the family. That particular ﬂag has some signiﬁcance to the Goodwins and to us too. Things have changed and the ﬂag has been returned for this season.” And Theatre West Virginia has been through some struggles as well. In September 2013, the board voted to close the facility, he said. Hill said when they made the decision, they had quite a few debts and some assets. Buildings, cars and other items were sold. Luckily, he said they didn’t have to sell their theatre assets, such as sound equipment, lights and costuming. He was later invited to try and form a new board in December 2013 and with a lot of help from the community, he helped get a season going. Hill said it’s a tale of how the community came together. He said radio stations stepped out and gave them time on the air, businesses donated storage areas and United Bank later gave them space for their ofﬁce. “We were pretty much at zero in January of last year,” Hill recalled. “We just asked for volunteers and we had a lot of people help us out. We had a lot of donations and were able to limp along and then the folks started to come into the show. Last year, they did 17 performances of “Hatﬁeld and McCoys” and this year, they’re back to a full season, he said. They held a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday to celebrate their 55th season. “Here we are, we’re back,” he said. To celebrate its rebirth, the director spoke with Kay Goodwin, and asked if the family still had the ﬂag from back when Joseph was in the show. “We asked if we could use it again because it’s a signiﬁcant part of our future, of our progress,” Hill said. “At Theatre West Virginia, we always have one hand in the past. We always have one eye looking back to all the folks who made it possible. This was a way to say, ‘Hey, in 1964, this gentleman was 21 years old and he presented this ﬂag and kept it this long.’ He was in that play in the second year of the whole thing.’ He’s made his way through life and now wants to bring it back full circle.” Joseph admitted he doesn’t get many opportunities for theatrics as a federal judge. “Being a federal judge and an actor is yin and yang, isn’t it,” he said. “Well, you do read the instructions so beauti- AP photo U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin makes a cameo appearance in the play Honey in the Rock at the Cliffside Amphitheatre in Grandview, W.Va. He later described how, 51 years ago, he came on stage and introduced himself as the character David Morgan, and how the experience affected his life. fully,” Kay told him. Joseph laughed. “Well, you do,” Kay said. “Your courtroom demeanor is very impressive.” He laughed again, saying, “That’s something my wife would say.” He lived a much different life before deciding to practice law. He and his wife met at West Virginia University where they were both theater majors. In the summer of 1964, he played in “Honey in the Rock.” He said he planned to go back home to earn money since he and Kay were going to get married. Then, he heard about the auditions. “I wrote on the try-out sheet, rather boldly, saying I won’t take anything but the lead, which is ridiculous,” Goodwin said laughing. “But I got it.” “I thought it was fun. I thought it was a great thing for West Virginia. I still do,” he later added. “They’ve had some troubles in the recent years but I’m hopeful that this renewal this year will present a new era of success for Theatre West Virginia.” 41865 Pomeroy Pike Pomeroy, Ohio 740-992-0540 www.hopewellhealth.org ��9[[]hlaf_�F]o�HYla]flk� ��Hjgna\af_�<]flYd�;Yj] Most insurances accepted Sliding fee available to qualifying patients 60593412 Associated Press 60593683 By Andrea Lannom Your auto is taken care of if something should happen to it.

The Harrison Commission recently awarded a $524,000 bid to Ryan Environmental to renovate a section of the rail trail near the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center while also repairing a culvert near the Center Branch Wildlife Management Area. Eighty percent of the funds will come out of a grant awarded through the state, with the county matching the other 20 percent. Work on the project is expected to begin next month. Charlotte Shaffer, executive director of the Harrison County Planning Department, said the scope of work had to be reduced due to the amount of grant money available. Shaffer said the work will focus on repairing the culvert Staff Report Elsie Singer of Racine and Gene Wells of Portland were married July 2, 1955, in Coolville, by the Rev. Guy White. The couple will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary with a private dinner. The couple currently resides in Osseo, Mich.

The tunnel will see improvements to its drainage and will have lights added to it, Shaffer said. From Camden Street to Doll Run Road, the trail will be regraded, cleaned up and cleared to improve its walkability, she said. County Administrator Willie Parker said the current project was originally meant to extend to Hite Field. But the more limited scope of the ﬁnal bid will still mark progress towards completing the trail, Parker said. “We have some maintenance issues between the VA park down to Mount Clare and into Lost Creek, and this project will address some of those,” Parker said. Parker said the signage will likely need to be improved, as well, to help residents recognize the rail trail as a public trail. Harrison County has applied for additional grant funding to ﬁnish another 3-mile stretch of the trail that would connect it to Lost Creek, Shaffer said. Shaffer said a ﬁnished trail connecting Lost Creek to Clarksburg would beneﬁt the health and qual- ity of life of residents and could even lead to economic development. “It does have an economic impact, because I have people from Lost Creek saying, ‘Man, I can’t wait for all this stuff to open so we can go on a day trip to Clarksburg,’” Shaffer said. Peggy Pings, an outdoor recreation planner with the National Park Service, said many groups are organizing throughout the region towards a long-term goal of connecting the various rail trail systems. This would allow hiking and biking long distances through multiple states, she said. Pings pointed to the recreation and tourism that have developed along the Great Allegheny Passage as an example of the potential for connecting rail trail systems in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. But in the short-term, there are still obstacles to connecting Lost Creek and Clarksburg to the North View and North Bend Rail Trails north of town. Any residents with questions about the rail trail system can call Pings at (304) 282-7464.

A small section of wallpaper has been removed to expose a layer of plaster enhanced with horse hair, “which gives the plaster extra strength,” Spurgeon said. “We’ve added period-correct wallpaper, and the chimneys had to be removed when the house was moved, but most of the house is as it was in 1802, with solid pine ﬂoors, a cherry stairwell, and black walnut paneling like the Blennerhassetts had in their home. Many of the window panes are from 1802, and give a green, wavy look I like when sunlight passes through.” The names and initials of several family members and their guests can be seen etched into sections of window glass. After wealthy Anglo-Irish immigrants Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett settled on Blennerhassett Island in 1798, the young Putnam couple became close friends. During the Putnams’ housewarming gala for Maple Shade, Margaret Blennerhassett was given the honor of leading off the ﬁrst dance with host Aaron Putnam in the new home’s second-ﬂoor ballroom. The Putnams’ friendship with the Blennerhassetts endured, even after the Blennerhassetts became embroiled in an alleged treason conspiracy with former U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr, who used the couple’s island home as a headquarters in 1806-1807 for an unauthorized military expedition to the American Southwest. After Virginia militiamen were sent to the island in 1806 to arrest Harman Blennerhasset, who managed to ﬂee before their arrival, the Putnams provided the provisions needed to get Margaret Blennerhassett off the island and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to rendezvous with her husband. Putnam bought the lower half of the island the following year, and owned if for the rest of his life. Other early visitors to Maple Shade included Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury, who criticized his hosts use of a ballroom, since it encouraged dancing, and Jonathan Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, a distant cousin whose father reportedly fought under Gen. Putnam’s command at Bunker Hill. When a yellow fever epidemic swept through the midOhio Valley in 1822, Charlotte and Aaron Waldo Putnam died within three days of each other. Their oldest son, William, inherited Maple Shade. Descendants of the Putnams lived in Maple Shade, also known as the Putnam-Houser House, until the early 1980s. The Houser name was added in 1909, when Mary Putnam Houser and her husband, James, moved into the home. In the early 1960s, the Housers’ son, John, sold the home and its surrounding land to the neighboring Shell Chemical Co., with the understanding that he could live on the property for the rest of his life. When Houser died in 1981, Shell assumed control of the home and needed the land on which it was perched for a plant expansion. But the company recognized the historic importance of the building, and instead of tearing it down, it offered to donate it to Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, and in 1986, paid nearly $80,000 to have Maple Shade lifted off its foundation and barged to the island. But the park lacked the money needed to stabilize and restore the home, and for its ﬁrst 13 years on the island, Maple Shade was unused and minimally maintained, and “became an eyesore,” according to Spurgeon. In 1999, the Blennerhassett Historical Foundation began raising funds to restore Maple Shade — a task that turned out to take until 2008 to accomplish. While the rebuilt Blennerhassett Mansion remains the island’s top visitor attraction, visits to Maple Shade, located a few hundred yards away down a country lane shaded by a walnut grove, are increasing. “People are becoming more aware of the house being here,” said Spurgeon. “It’s unique in that it’s not a reconstruction, like the (Blennerhassett) Mansion, which burned to the ground in 1811, but the original house from the same time that lets you see how it was made. The people who see the home love it, and I love meeting people and telling them about Maple Shade and the Putnams, who, from everything I’ve read, were really nice people.” While Blennerhassett Mansion tours cost $5 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under, tours of Maple Shade are free. Round-trip sternwheeler rides to the island aboard the Island Belle are $10 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. Narrated horse-drawn wagon ride tours of the island are $6 for adults and $5 for children. The island is closed to the public on Mondays.
