Life Chain Sunday will conduct events
Set for today in Pomeroy, Gallipolis

OHIO VALLEY — Life
Chain, a social movement advocating against the practice of
abortion, has designated Oct. 4
as National Life Chain Sunday.
From 2 to 3:30 p.m., supporters from local churches and the
community are encouraged to

line sidewalks in designated
areas throughout North America, where they will pray and
hold signs.
Life Chain had its beginning in 1987 when a group of
pro-life activists rallied on the
sidewalks of Yuba City and
Marysville, Calif., to pray and
display an assortment of prolife and anti-abortion signs. As

Life Chain gained support, they
began to include prayer vigils,
newspaper and billboard campaigns and door-to-door distribution of pro-life literature.
The organization continued
to grow and claims support
throughout the United States
and Canada. Now an annual
event, the ﬁrst Sunday in October has been designated Life
Chain Sunday by the group.
According to Life Chain, in
2014, 1,550 cites and towns

participated.
This year, Life Chains have
been conﬁrmed to take place in
Pomeroy and Gallipolis.
According PomeroyLife
Chain coordinator Brenda
Barnhart, it has been several
years since a chain has been
held in Meigs County. More
than 25 area churches have
been invited to participate in
the 2015 chain.

Q&amp;A

Junior Fair
sales tax levy
Staff Report

Editor’s note: This is the first of a four-part
discussion regarding a Nov. 3 referendum
to enact a tax levy for relocating the Gallia
County fairgrounds. Subsequent articles will
publish in Sunday editions between now and
the election.
GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Junior
Fair Board has distributed a “frequently asked
questions” brochure to many in the community,
held several public meetings and spoken with
numerous groups about their proposal. Junior
Fair Board members Brent Eastman, Tim Massie and volunteer Jodie Penrod sat down with
the Daily Tribune to discuss the proposed tax
increase on the Nov. 3 ballot.
DAILY TRIBUNE: How much additional
tax will an individual pay if this tax increase
passes?
MASSIE: The additional sales tax will only
be .25-percent, or one-quarter of one percent
What that means in terms of money is that’s
one penny for every $4 spent or 25 cents of
every $100 spent and $2.50 of every $1,000
spent. Keep in mind, this is for goods and services only. There’s no additional taxes on food
or property.
DAILY TRIBUNE: Who pays the tax?
EASTMAN: Everyone who purchases goods
or services bought in Gallia County. That’s the
fairness of a sales tax. Everyone pays. And,
everyone who travels through or shops in Gallia
County helps us relocate and improve the fairgrounds because they pay the sales tax, too.
DAILY TRIBUNE: How much will the relocation cost?
MASSIE: The new fairgrounds is expected to
cost an estimated $9.5 million. Based on current sales tax collections and how they’ve been
running the additional sales tax will generate
an estimated $900,000 per year. We will structure the $9.5 million debt over 20 years with
an estimated annual payment of $700,000 (this
assumes a four-percent rate on the loan). Whatever sales tax is collected over $700,000 will go
directly to loan principal. So, if we do collect
$900,000 we will be applying $200,000 to the
principal amount. We will apply anything collected over the annual payment to principal.
We anticipate being able to pay the loan off
before 20 years. If sales tax collections continue
at the present pace the loan would be paid off
in about 14 years. When the loan is paid off the
sales tax goes away.
DAILY TRIBUNE: Tell me about the feasibility study done for the site and who actually did
the study.
PENROD: The fair board contracted with
Johnson Consulting from Chicago. This is a
firm that specializes in fairgrounds and real
estate development. Representatives from Johnson Consulting visited Gallia County and our
current fairgrounds. They analyzed the facilities we have now, proposed facilities and comparable facilities to determine the impact a new
fairgrounds facility would have on Gallia County. From that study it was determined a new
fairgrounds was a need of our community and
that Gallia County would greatly benefit from
the additional utilization a new fairgrounds
would provide.
DAILY TRIBUNE: Does the fair board
already own the land where it plans to move?
EASTMAN: Yes, this land was purchased
several years ago and several volunteers have
already done some groundwork to prepare for
relocating the facilities. The fair board owns
the land free and clear. We bought the land
years ago as we began looking ahead for such a
need.
DAILY TRIBUNE: What will happen to the
land where the fairgrounds sit now?
EASTMAN: That land can be used for various purposes. Some have expressed interest in
pursuing partnerships to utilize that land for
athletic fields or commercial property. The fair
board is open to leasing the property or selling
the land where we are now. If we were able to
lease or sell that land, funds would go toward
operating expenses for our new facilities. Basically, we’re going to look at all of our options,
evaluate which of those options represents the
best use of that land for Gallia County and go
from there.
DAILY TRIBUNE: When would construction
begin for the relocated fair grounds?
MASSIE: We will begin the relocation planning and construction process as soon after the
levy passes as possible. Our goal is to hold the
2017 Gallia County Junior Fair at the relocated
facilities.
Part two of this series that will publish next Sunday will discuss
plans for the new facilities.

THEIR VIEW

Ensuring all Ohioans can put food on table
Last week in his historic address to Congress,
Pope Francis called on
those in government
to see its work as “an
expression of our compelling need to live as
one, in order to build as
one the greatest common
good.”
Yet, too many in Congress don’t seem to have
received that message.
We ﬁnd ourselves on the
brink of another manufactured crisis, facing
threats of another government shutdown.
Shutting down the
government again would
hurt all Americans, but
would be particularly
hard on those that need
our help the most: children, older Americans,
and those with disabilities.

As Pope Francis said,

some Ohioans may not

But the fact remains
that privileged politicians in Washington are
causing needless stress
and worry for millions of
families who depend on
SNAP to help put food
on the table. These are
hardworking families
who are just scraping
by, and Congress should
not be manufacturing

It’s time to stop the
partisan stunts, and pass
a clean bill that keeps
open these important
programs, so that these

Department, and Sherry Hayman, a public health nurse and Reggie Robinson of Health Recovery
Services. Front row, from left: Commissioners Mike Bartrum, Randy Smith and Tim Ihle.

Each kit comes with Naloxone, or Narcan, which is
a nasal spray medication
that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid
drug. Once administered,
the drug blocks the effects
of opioids on the brain and
restores breathing within
two to eight minutes after
overdosing. According
to information about the
drug, there is no potential
for addiction, as its only
purpose is to block the opioids effects. Once the Narcan has begun working,
the user will immediately
experience all the symptoms of withdrawal.
Some symptoms for
overdosing are shallow
and slow breath (less than
10 breaths per minute) or
stopped breath; a clammy
and pale face; slow, erratic
or no pulse; vomiting;
blue or grayish lips and
ﬁngernails; the person will
not respond to shaking or
sternum rub; choking or
loud snoring noises; and a
skin appearance of either
gray, blue, or ashen.
Cunningham said people
who want a kit can call
the health department at
740-992-6626 to make an
appointment for training.
The ﬁrst 40 kits will be fee,
with a shelf life of March
2016. More kits will either
be ordered next March or
as soon as the kits run out.
Cunningham advised that
anyone with a kit keep it in
temperatures between 68
to 77 degrees.
The resolution Thursday
passed by the commission-

ers allowed Project DAWN
to be implemented.
Also on the agenda
was Reggie Robinson, of
Health Recovery Services,
who brought forth a resolution recognizing October
as Meigs County Medicine Abuse Awareness
Month. According to the
resolution presented by
Robinson, medicine abuse
is the fastest growing drug
problem in the United
States, with the Centers
For Disease Control and
Prevention classifying it as
an epidemic.
The commissioners also
advanced $60,000 into the
Medﬂight building from
County General. Look for
more information about
the new Medﬂight building in the Sunday TimesSentinel.
Chris Shank, director
of Meigs County Job and
Family Services, brought
forth a resolution requesting approval for an employee to be on voluntary
disability separation status
beginning Oct. 5. The
commissioners approved
the resolution.
The commissioners
awarded the bid for Racine
Street signs to Shain
Custom Signs, who bid
$19,635.65 for the project.
Lastly, Bob Allen, of
Triad Engineering Inc.,
spoke to the commissioners about the Meigs Water
and Sewer District Wastewater System Improvement Project. According to
Allen, the district should
have Ohio Rural Community Assistance Program

assessment and environmental report this fall. The

They also anticipate submitting an application to
the Corps and USDA-Rural
Development this winter.
Allen said that once
the group hears from the
Corps they will start ﬁeld
work for the PER revision, with the preliminary
engineering report needed
to be completed and submitted to USDA-RD with
their funding application.
He said that the Ohio EPA
hasn’t released the list of
projects receiving principle
forgiveness through the
Water Pollution Control
Loan Fund Program, but
he will continue to monitor.
He said that another
potential funding source is
RPIG-CDBG (Community
Development Block Grant
Programs) funds. One of
the requirements of this
speciﬁc grant is the beneﬁt
area of the project must be
below 51 percent in terms
of low to moderate income
population. According
to Allen’s research, the
village of Rutland has 40
percent LMI (low to moderate income) population
according to 2014 data.
Rutland Township has an
LMI level of 41.44 percent.
He told the commissioners that the district could
complete an LMI survey
if they thought the data
was inaccurate. He said it
should be discussed at a
later meeting.

tor of the Appalachian
Regional Commission.
Hamilton placed Meigs
County and Ohio as one of
the 420 counties and one
of 13 states that make up
the Appalachian Region.
“I understand what
health care means to a
community; quality of
life and quality of place,
the culture of that community, and health care is
an important component
of that as well,” he said.
“I thank you all for what
you’re doing in moving a
community forward.”
Capt. Eric Rock, of
Meigs County EMS, presented recognition plaques
to Allenstein, commissioners Smith, Mike Bartrum
and Ihle, Canady, Misty

and Perry Varnadoe and
Brenda Roush, both of the

Lastly, Jacks stepped to
the podium and thanked
Alva Clark, a Meigs County resident, for his help
with the project.
After speeches, refreshments were served and
attendees were allowed to
tour the facility and a helicopter that arrived from
Wellston for the occasion.
According to the pilots,
the helicopter is an AC130
Airbus, and is one in a
ﬂeet of 10. There is a
mini-ICU on board, and
the aircraft itself is considered one of the quietest
helicopters ever built.
As Hamilton toured the
helicopter pad, he voiced
his conﬁdence in the
project.
“It means a lot to the
community,” he said.

be helicopter-fueling facilities, and the facility will
be directly connected with

Before the tour of the
facility, there was a ceremony providing information to attendees. EMS
Director Robbie Jacks
made the opening remarks
about the facility.
Jacks posed the question that led to the creation of the EMA facility
and the facility being built
now.
“There was a real need
in Meigs County for
our station and for our
squads,” he said. “How
can we make life better for
our employees and how
can we make life better for
our citizens?”
Jacks introduced Meigs
County Commissioner
Randy Smith next, who
spoke about the progress
that Meigs County has
made.
“Commissioner Ihle

example of it,” he said.

Smith introduced
Thomas Allenstein, of
Medﬂight, who said that
Meigs County is moving
into the next generation
and the creation of this
facility is a part of that.
“We want to enhance
the ability to care for the
people of Meigs County,”
he said. “I look forward to
a long history of serving.”
Dr. Michael Canady,
chief medical ofﬁcer for
Holzer Health Systems,
spoke about the need for
the facility.
“It’s really obvious this
needed to be done for a
long time,” he said.
After Canady, Jason
Wilson, from the Ohio
Governor’s Ofﬁce of
Appalachia, assured all
in attendance that the
Appalachian region of
Ohio, and the Appalachian
region in general, has not
been forgotten, although
sometimes it may feel that
way.
“We just need to put
ourselves out there more
and not be afraid to ask
questions and put our
hands up more,” he said.
“We are forgotten sometimes … but we think
we’re changing that. We
can do that down in our
area. If you’re from Ohio,
you’re from somewhere
that’s important to somebody, and the helipad is
certainly the next step in
the process.”
Wilson said his ofﬁce’s
job is to help set things
up and then get out of the
way so that Meigs County
citizens can do the rest.
“What I want to know
is: what’s next?” he asked
the audience. “Because
we’re going to be a part
of it.”

Southern stomps
Lancers, 48-0
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com

STEWART, Ohio — Some nights everything
goes your way.
The Southern football could do no wrong Friday
night, as the Tornadoes marched to a 48-0 victory
over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host
Federal Hocking, in Athens County.
After a scoreless ﬁrst quarter, the Tornadoes
(3-3, 2-2 TVC Hocking) got on the board at the
5:14 mark of the second, when sophomore Riley
Roush scored on a two-yard run. Less than three
minutes later the Purple and Gold struck again,
this time on a 13-yard pass from junior quarterback Blake Johnson to fellow junior Crenson Rogers.
Southern’s ﬁrst half offense wasn’t ﬁnished however, as Johnson found sophomore Dylan Smith for
a 16-yard touchdown as time expired in the second
quarter. Tornadoes senior Tommy Ramthun was
3-for-3 on extra point kicks in the second canto
and the Purple and Gold led Federal Hocking (0-6,
0-5) 21-0 at halftime.
SHS picked up right where it left off in the after
the break, as Roush took the opening kickoff of the
second half 75 yards for six points. Roush found
the endzone for the third time in the game at the
9:56 mark of the third, when he broke a 40-yard
run. Ramthun’s extra point kick gave Southern the
34-0 advantage.
With 4:38 remaining in the third period, Johnson connected with Ramthun for a 45-yard touchdown pass which, with Ramthun’s extra point,
gave SHS a 41-0 lead.
With the second-team offense in Southern
added one more score, as Gabe Rifﬂe scored on
an 18-yard pass from Logan Drummer with 9:49
left in regulation. Ramthun kicked home the extra
point and Southern cruised to a 48-0 victory.
Johnson threw for 122 yards and three scores
on 5-of-10 passing in the win, while Drummer was
1-of-2 passing for 18 yards and a score.

Raiders shut down Rockets, 15-0
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

WELLSTON, Ohio —
No overtime needed this
year.
After dropping a 33-32
heartbreaker to visiting
Wellston one year ago,
the River Valley football
team made sure things
weren’t nearly as close
this time around as the
Raiders pitched their
third shutout of the
season Friday night following a 15-0 victory in
a Week 6 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division
contest at C.H. Jones
Field in Jackson County.
The visiting Raiders
(5-1, 2-1 TVC Ohio)
found themselves in a
dog ﬁght from the opening kick, as both teams
showed early on that
scoring points would not
be easy to come by. In
fact, both defenses were
so stingy that neither
squad managed over 200
yards of total offense on
the night.

Wellston, Ohio.

RVHS, however, came
up with the ﬁrst breakthrough in the scoring
column late in the second quarter. Mark Wray
capped a 10-play, 79-yard
drive with a 2-yard run
at the 3:57 mark of the

second quarter, giving
the Silver and Black a
7-0 halftime advantage.

Belpre roughs
up Rebels, 44-0
By Alex Hawley

BELPRE, Ohio — A
Friday to forget.
The South Gallia football team committed six
turnovers and fell to TriValley Conference Hocking Division host Belpre
by a 44-0 count, Friday
night in Washington
County.
Belpre (4-2, 4-1 TVC
Hocking) posted the
game’s ﬁrst score at the
7:51 mark of the ﬁrst
quarter as Deijon Bedgood broke a 25-yard
run. The Golden Eagles
found paydirt again
with 5:37 remaining
in the ﬁrst, when Kole
Counts scored on a run
from ﬁve yards out. Belpre’s ﬁrst quarter charge
wasn’t ﬁnished however,
as Bedgood took his
second and ﬁnal carry
24 yards to paydirt 1:01
remaining in the opening canto. BHS kicker
Bailey Sprague was
3-for-3 on ﬁrst quarter
extra point kicks and
Belpre led 21-0.
The Belpre defense
put points on the board
midway through the second period, as Matthew
Colvin tackled South
Gallia’s Johnny Sheets
in the endzone for a

safety. On the ensuing
BHS possession Colvin found paydirt on a
two-yard run that, with
Sprague’s extra point,
gave the Orange and
Black a 30-0 lead.
The Golden Eagles
struck again with 3:35
remaining in the second quarter, as Tojaze
Reams broke a 75-yard
touchdown run. At
the 3:00 mark of the
second, Belpre scored
the ﬁnal touchdown of
the night on a 31-yard
Gavin Stalnaker run.
Sprague was also 3-of-3
on second quarter extra
point kicks and Belpre
cruised to the 44-0 victory.
The Rebels (2-4,
1-3), who held a
12-to-10 advantage in
ﬁrst downs, were led
offensivly by Johnny
Sheets with 108 yards
on 19 carries, while
completing 1-of-11 pass
attempts for six yards.
Justin Crago added 22
yards on 10 carries,
while Owen Bevan had
one reception for six
yards.
Belpre was led by
Reams with 84 yards on
two carries, followed
by Colvin with 56 yards
on seven tries. Tavian
Miller completed 1-of-

2 pass attempts for 25
yards, with Josh Moore
receiving the pass.
The Golden Eagles,
who committed just
one turnover in the
triumph, held a 303-to161 advantage in total
offense, with a 278-to155 advantage on the
ground. BHS was penalized six times for 68
yards, while SGHS was
sent back four times for
17 yards. Four of South
Gallia’s possessions
ended in a punt, while
Belpre punted twice in
the win.
Belpre has now won
four straight games,
scoring at least 40
points in each. The
Golden Eagles have
defeated SGHS in four
consecutive head-tohead meetings. The
Rebels, who suffered
their ﬁrst shutout loss
since Week 3 of the
2013 season, have now
lost back-to-back games
for the ﬁrst time this
year.
The Rebels will return
to Washington County
next Friday when they
visit 3-3 Waterford,
which has won back-toback games.

Dovenbarger managed to
take down WHS quarterback Braydon Womeldorf
in the Wellston end
zone, which resulted in
a safety and a 9-0 Raider
lead.
River Valley hammered

the nail in the cofﬁn
with 2:43 left in regulation after Justin Arrowood plunged in from
one yard out, capping a
9-play, 38-yard drive for
a 15-0 advantage.
It was just the third
TVC Ohio win in River
Valley’s history and also
served as the ﬁrst time
that the Raiders were
able to defeat Wellston
in four head-to-head
meetings. It’s also the
ﬁrst time that WHS (3-3,
0-2) have lost back-toback games this fall.
RVHS ﬁnished the
night with a 175-149
edge in total offense,
but the Golden Rockets
ended up controlling the
ground game. The hosts
rushed 47 times for 137
yards, while the Raiders had 120 yards on 41
attempts.
The guests were plus-1
in turnover differential
and were ﬂagged only
three times for 31 yards,
compared to 10 penalties
and 70 yards for the Blue

and Gold.
Arrowood led the
Raiders with 105 yards
on 25 carries, followed
by Wray with 15 yards
on 10 attempts. Dayton
Hardway completed 5-of7 passes for 55 yards,
while Kirk Morrow led
the wideouts with four
catches for 59 yards.
Nick Cox paced WHS
with 81 rushing yards
on 12 carries, followed
by Travis Jayjohn with
37 yards on ﬁve totes.
Womeldorf was 2-of-4

with Forrest Hale leading the host receivers

victory and a 3-1 match win.
“I’m just really proud of these girls, they’ve worked
so hard,” second year Gallia Academy head coach Janice Rosier said. “Warren is always a great team, always
well coached and always puts up a ﬁght. To clinch at
least a piece of the league right now is really good, but
we still have a few games to go.”
Gallia Academy’s service attack was led by junior
Abby Wood and junior libero Brooke Pasquale with
11 points apiece, including an ace by Pasquale. Jenna
Meadows posted nine points and one ace, Carly Shriver added six points and one ace, while Ashton Webb
and Grace Martin both marked ﬁve points.
Martin led the Blue Angels at the net with 20 kills
and seven blocks, followed by Jordan Walker with 13
kills and six blocks. Webb posted eight kills, Ryleigh
Caldwell added seven, Hanna Johnson marked six kills
and a block, while Meadows and Shriver each had one
kill in the win. Meadows led the GAHS defense with
31 digs, followed by Wood with 22 and Martin with
18. Shriver marked a team-best 24 assists in the win,
while Allison McGhee chipped in with 13.
“Every practice we strive to be better,” Rosier said.
“I always tell the girls that they need to do something
everyday to be the best they can possibly be. They
have to check it off of their lists every day and I think
we’re doing everything we can.”
Gallia Academy, which currently is the only SEOAL
team to defeat the Lady Warriors, also defeated Warren on September 10, by a 3-1 count in Vincent. This
is the ﬁrst time GAHS has defeated Warren twice in a
season since the turn of the Millennium, but the Blue
Angels defeated the Lady Warriors in their only meeting in the 2007 season.
The Blue Angels will put their unblemished mark on
the line Monday, when they visit South Point for an
Ohio Valley Conference showdown.

meeting 3-1 on Sept. 10
in Bidwell.

Roush led the Purple and Gold on the ground with
134 yards and two scores on 12 carries, followed by
Andrew Evans with 65 yards on six carries. Ramthun
caught two passes for a game-high 77 yards and a
touchdown, while Dylan Smith ran seven times for 30
yards and caught two passes for 26 yards and a score.
Rifﬂe had one reception for 18 yards and a score,
Rogers had one reception for 13 yards and a score,
while Clayton Wood hauled in one pass for six yards
and Alex VanMeter ran ﬁve times for 21 total yards.
The Southern defense — which recorded its ﬁrst
shutout since Week 1 of last season — came up with
four sacks in the game, two by Rogers, one by Smith
and one by Trey Pickens.
Lancers quarterback AJ Cobb completed 5-of-18
pass attempts for 55 yards with two interceptions,
one by Roush and one by Ramthun. Devon Robinson
led FHHS receivers with 35 yards on two catches,
while Walker Church posted the Lancers best ground
effort with 16 yards on two carries.
The Tornadoes — who forced four turnovers and
didn’t commit any in the win — held a 14-to-3 advantage in ﬁrst downs, a 246-to-14 advantage in rushing
yards and a 140-to-55 advantage in passing yards.
Southern has now defeated the Lancers in three
consecutive meetings. This is the second consecutive
year that FHHS has started 0-6.
The 48-point outburst by the Tornadoes, is their
best offensive performance since scoring 48 in their
last trip to Stewart, on September 20, 2013.
The Tornadoes return to Athens County next week
as they look to take down league-leading Trimble.
The Tomcats, who defeated Wahama 46-14 Friday
night, have won ﬁve straight games and hold a perfect 5-0 TVC Hocking record this season.

‘Farm-to-table’ movement gains popularity

The Meigs County Fair in August saw many award-winning entries
in the preservation category.

By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

OHIO VALLEY —
Anyone opening a jar of
preserved produce knows
there is nothing quite like
the ﬂavor of homemade
fruits and vegetables.
What was once called
“canning” and “freezing”
is now referred to as
“farm-to-table preservation.”
As health beneﬁts from
eating fresh fruits and
vegetables are becoming
apparent, there is a growing trend to once again
prepare and preserve
fresh fruits and vegetables at home.
In the past, a lot of
work went into growing
your own food. From tilling the soil and planting
the seeds, to harvesting
and preparing the produce, the efforts were
vital to a family’s food
supply. Preservation was
essential to ensure families had food stored for
winter months.
There were no grocery stores with fresh,
canned and frozen foods
as a backup. It was not
uncommon for past generations to “put up” 100

quarts each of beans and
tomatoes. Jars of carrots,
beets, corn and pickles
lined cellar shelves. Tree
fruits and berries were
canned as well, some
whole and others in jellies
and preserves.
Farmers markets were
popular and gave people
an opportunity to buy
and trade seasonal fruit
and vegetables, meat,
cheeses, baked goods and
jellies.
With the industrialization of food preservation
beginning in the 1950s,
what Americans could
put on their tables was no
longer dependent on the
availability of produce in
their area, or their ability to preserve quantities
of foods; now there was
a selection of fruits and
vegetables year round at
their ﬁngertips.
According to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, at the turn of the
20th century, most food
came from within 50
miles of where it was
eaten.
As families moved
from rural to urban
areas, many local food
sources were lost. The
convenience of purchas-

ing canned and frozen
foods at the grocery store
became a way of life and
much of the art of preservation was lost.
Now, there are efforts
under way to teach preservation methods and a
farm-to-table movement
is growing. It would be
difﬁcult to ﬁnd anyone
more dedicated to the
farm-to-table movement than Alfonso Contrisciani, academic dean
of hospitality at Hocking
College.
Contrisciani is passionate about his work
at the college and understands the importance of
hands-on experience for
the students. He uses as
much local produce in
the program as the season permits and prefers
artisan-grown products

to those that are factorygrown.
Having worked in all
areas of the food industry,
he brings his numerous
talents to the Hocking
hospitality program. Constrisciani is an artisan
grower currently farming
70 acres of crops, including wheat for his use in
baked goods. He advocates for participation in
local farmers markets in
the area and encourages
partnerships between the
hospitality and farm programs at Hocking, local
farmers and schools. With
Constrisciani’s encouragement, the college is
moving forward with
farm-to-school programs
and classes in food preservation.
Contrisciani was proud
to present artistically

arranged seasonal fruit
and pastries prepared
by his students for a faculty function in Hocking
President Betty Young’s
ofﬁce. He points to the
pastries and notes that
fresh berries from local
farmers were used in the
ﬁllings.
His efforts to encourage farm-to-table by individuals, restaurants and
schools has introduced
many to the idea that
“fresh is best.” By putting programs in place
at the college level to
teach fresh food preparation and preservation,
students and the community are learning proper
methods, making it easier
to incorporate fresh foods
into their menus.
With the resurgence
of interest in fresh and

locally grown foods, the
number and popularity
of farmers markets are
growing . While most
consumers will never give
up prepackaged and non
local produce completely,
introducing a generation
to the beneﬁts of farm-totable and the fun of shopping at a farmers market
may be a move in the
right direction.
And this winter, when
the snow is falling and
you are having soup made
with vegetables you preserved last summer and
apple butter to put on
those warm biscuits fresh
from the oven, you will
know the time spent to
“put away” some of summer’s treasurers was well
worth the effort.

Iva Sisson earns 2015 Jenco Award
Staff Report

NELSONVILLE — As
a grandmother, Iva Sisson knew how important
computers were to her
grandchildren’s academic
performance.
But, until her granddaughter told her that
some of her classmates
couldn’t do their homework because they didn’t
have access to a computer, Sisson didn’t fully
realize the need in Meigs
County. As soon as she
knew about that need,
she acted.
That individual initiative was recognized with
a 2015 Jenco Award from
the Jenco Foundation
Fund at the Foundation
for Appalachian Ohio.
Sisson and her ﬁve
fellow awardees were
recognized recently at
FAO’s Celebration of Legacy reception at Stuart’s
Opera House in Nelsonville for their service and
leadership throughout
Appalachian Ohio.
Sisson’s fellow 2015
Jenco awardees include
Bill Crawford of Columbiana County, Margaret
Fredericks of Washington County, Donna Sue
Groves of Adams County,
Jodie Hunt of Lawrence
County, and Nancy Sams
of Washington County. A
video highlighting their
work premiered at the
Celebration of Legacy and
can be found on the Foundation’s website, www.

AppalachianOhio.org.
Sisson was celebrated
for the creation of Computers for Students, a program to refurbish computers and put them in the
hands of students who
need them. She partnered
with local businesses to
collect old computers and
donations to offset the
cost of computer refurbishment, Connect Ohio
to refurbish and update
the donated computers,
and local schools to ﬁnd
students who needed a
computer at home. The
refurbished computers are

distributed to students
throughout Meigs County
who do not have access
to a computer at home
and want to do better in
school. Since February
2014, nearly 250 students
have received computers
from the Computers for
Students program and
Sisson doesn’t want to
stop there.
“As long as there are
students in Meigs County
who need reliable access
to a computer for homework, we will work to
make sure they get what
they need,” Sisson said.

“It is such an honor to be
recognized with a 2015
Jenco Award. This work
has only been possible
because of countless
people who believe in
getting students access to
the technology they need
to succeed in school.”
The Jenco Foundation Fund and its annual
award are named for
Father Lawrence Martin
Jenco, a longtime Roman
Catholic priest who gave
generously of himself to
serve others throughout
his life. Most notably,
Father Jenco’s service

took him to Lebanon in
the 1980s to serve as
director of Catholic Relief
Services.
While serving as director, he was kidnapped
in 1985. During his 19
months in captivity,
Father Jenco continued
to serve others, providing
a necessary listening ear
to others being detained,
including fellow detainee,
journalist Terry Anderson. After his release,
Father Jenco returned
to ministry, providing
outreach to underserved
groups until his death in

1996. Anderson created
the Jenco Foundation in
2001 to continue Father
Jenco’s legacy of compassion and giving to others.
“The Jenco Awardees
are all shining examples
of what each of us can do
if we decide to make a
difference in our communities,” Sharon Hatﬁeld,
Jenco Foundation Fund
committee member, said.
“Together, they show
us how arts and culture,
community development,
human services, and
education are vital to the
people of Appalachian
Ohio and our region’s
quality of life.”
Since 2002, the Jenco
Awards have been recognizing visionary leadership in the service of
others throughout Appalachian Ohio. Nominated
by fellow community
members who witness
their service and visionary leadership in action,
Jenco Award honorees are
selected through a competitive selection process
and committee review.
Jenco Award recipients
receive an individual cash
award to use in the manner most appropriate to
their leadership.

AAA7 presents awards at appreciation brunch
For the Times-Sentinel

PORTSMOUTH —
Giving thanks. That
was common place at
this year’s Area Agency
on Aging District 7

was recently held at the
Southern Ohio Medical
Center Friends Center in
Portsmouth.
During the event,
several individuals and
groups throughout the
Agency’s 10-county district were recognized
for their service and
dedication to not only
the agency as a whole,
but more importantly, the
communities and seniors
served by the agency. The
Area Agency on Aging
District 7 serves the following counties: Adams,
Brown, Gallia, Highland,
Jackson, Lawrence, Pike,
Ross, Scioto and Vinton.
Special awards that
were presented at the
event to individuals or
groups included:
William A. Jenkins
Award (Outstanding
Contributor to Our
Southern Ohio Aging
Network)
This year’s Area
Agency on Aging District
7 “William A. Jenkins
Award” was presented
to Jane Taylor, past state
director of the Ohio
AARP, who recently
retired. The AAA7 presents the award annually
to an outstanding contributor to the southern
Ohio aging network. The
announcement of the
recipient of the award
is kept secret until the
day of the appreciation
brunch. The award is
named in memory of William A. Jenkins, a native
of Gallia County, who
helped build the aging
network in southern Ohio
through the Area Agency
on Aging District 7.
During the award presentation, Pam Matura,
executive director of the
AAA7, acknowledged
Taylor for the signiﬁcant
impact she made during
her career throughout
the aging network, not
only in the local district
and Ohio, but also her
contributions to providing input and change on a
national level.

Educator of the Year
Award
The Area Agency on
Aging District 7 “Intergenerational Educator of
the Year Award” was presented to nine local university/college programs
that, over the years, have
assisted the AAA7 with
student placements to
enrich the learning experience for their students
and give them a real life
work environment.
The universities/
colleges that were recognized included: Ohio
University Social Work
Program in Athens, Ohio
University Chillicothe

Partnership Award
This year’s Area Agency on Aging District 7
“Partnership Award” was

presented to the University of Rio Grande Esther
Allen Greer Museum for
their wonderful work
with the AAA7 during
the annual Senior Citizens Art Show and Poetry/Essay Contest that is
held during May and June
each year on the campus
of the University of Rio
Grande.
Staff at the Museum
have been a huge supporter and friend of the
event for many years,
providing use of the
Museum for the actual
hanging and preparation
of the Art Show, as well
as the two weeks the art
is exhibited and the closing Meet the Artists Tea
that is attended by artists,
guests, and the community. The AAA7 Senior
Citizens Art Show, which
began in 1982, has grown
over the years and during
this time, the University
of Rio Grande has been
a steady supporter and
partner. Their continued
assistance has been a vital
asset to the success of the
event, which is a favorite
among many seniors in
the district.
Caregiver of the Year
Award
The Caregiver of the
Year Award was presented to Aaron Bollinger of
Lawrence County.
Informal caregivers are
those unpaid individuals
such as a spouse, partner,

family member, friend,
or neighbor who are
involved in assisting others with activities of daily
living or medical tasks.
65 million caregivers
make up 29 percent of the
adult population providing this care in the United
States.
A Gallup survey in
November 2012 found 72
percent of caregivers were
caring for a parent, stepparent, mother in-law or
father in-law, with 50 percent of these caregivers
being employed full-time.
Working caregivers often
must rearrange their
work schedules, decrease
their work hours, or take
unpaid leave to care for
their loved ones.
The Caregiver Support Program at the Area
Agency on Aging District
7 (AAA7) was created
in 2001 through Older
Americans Act funding to
assist informal caregivers
with information about
caring for themselves and
their loved ones, providing respite services, and
linking caregivers to
other needed services.

1985 Blue Devil football
team honored on Friday
Staff Report

GALLIPOLIS — The
1985 Blue Devil football
team was honored Friday
night during halftime of
the Homecoming game
against Athens.
With an overall record of
8-3 and a league record of
4-0, the ’85 team won the
SEOAL championship by
beating Logan. This was
the ﬁrst time since 1970
that the Blue Devils won
the league and was the
ﬁrst playoff team in school
history.
According to coach
Brent Saunders, “They
set a single-game GAHS
record for total offense
against Marietta and for
the 1985 season set a
GAHS record for total
offense. The defense only
gave up an average of 10
points per game.”
The coaching staff consisted of head coach Saunders, assistant coaches
Jim Niday, Rick Howell,
Steve Surgeon and Kent
Shawver. Leading the way
for the Devils were tricaptains Bruce O’Rourke,
Todd Slone and John
Strait. The team consisted
of 10 seniors, 18 juniors
and 15 sophomores.
