In reality, the conditions were as real as it gets, but it was only a drill. Southern hosted an active-shooter training for members of its teaching staff, support staff, bus drivers and cooks — among various other staffers who supervise children throughout the day. More than 100 staff members participated along with 14 members of the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office and Active Shooter Task Force. The training came as a part of multiple training sessions for Southern’s waiver day learning sessions. “This is something we hope never happens, but this is something we take very seriously, and with the incidents we have seen around the nation it is only prudent that we prepare the best we can to protect our kids,” Southern Superintendent Tony Deem said. Sheriff Keith Wood organized the law enforcement portion of the training and spoke about possible scenarios that could happen, as well as what to do and what not to do in specific cases.

Woman hurt by rock has 6th surgery CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio middle school teacher whose skull was crushed by a rock dropped onto her vehicle from a Pennsylvania overpass is recovering from her sixth surgery. Sharon Budd of Lake Township had surgery about a week before Thanksgiving Day to remove plastic skull pieces that had been protecting her brain but became contaminated, The Repository in Canton reported. Her husband, Randy Budd, said she was walking, talking and in good spirits days later. And, three days after her latest hospital release, she had an extra reason to celebrate on the holiday: It was also her 53rd birthday. She will need at least two more major surgeries, but the family remains hopeful, her husband said in a letter thanking their community and supporters that was published by the newspaper. Saturday, December 6th “The doctors continue to be amazed of her progress. … On this Thanksgiving Day, which is also Sharon’s birthday, we couldn’t be more grateful!” he wrote. Budd was riding with her husband and daughter when the 4.6-pound rock crashed through the front window and struck her head July 10. She lost her right eye, suffered brain damage and went through rehabilitation at a Danville, Pennsylvania, hospital.

Because Mr. Wilson is white, and young Mr. Brown was both black and unarmed, it was almost inevitable that the issue of race would overhang the grand jury’s deliberation. It also was inevitable that the grand jury’s decision Monday not to indict Mr. Wilson would foment much sound and fury not only in Ferguson, where Missouri’s National Guard prepared for unrest, but in cities throughout the country. Regrettably, many of those who gathered in Ferguson ahead of the announcement were there not so much to see justice served, but to act out their outrage in the event the grand jury did not charge Mr. Wilson for an unlawful killing. Indeed, any civil disobedience in the wake of the grand jury’s decision actually ignores the pleas of Michael Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, who urged demonstrators not to bend toward lawbreaking. “Don’t agitate the police,” she advised. “Don’t let the police agitate you.” The White House on Monday echoed Ms. McSpadden’s words, which, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest, “the president endorses wholeheartedly.” Unfortunately, the president’s remarks in the months leading up to the grand jury decision in Ferguson suggested that anything short of an indictment of Mr. Wilson would be unjust. Indeed, in September, Mr. Obama said that Mr. Brown’s death “awakened our nation” to the unfair treatment of black youths by law enforcement in places like Ferguson. “Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement,” he said, “guilty of walking while black or driving while black; judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and helplessness.” While the Obama administration’s Justice Department is conducting a civil rights investigation of Mr. Brown’s death, federal investigators have all but concluded that they don’t have a case against Mr. Wilson, according to the Washington Post. We do not know what happened on that fateful day in August when a confrontation between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown resulted in the young man’s tragic shooting death. But we do know that the grand jury in Ferguson went to painstaking lengths to reach its decision. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register.

There was a lady that I met who was from Russia, and she had just gained her citizenship in the United States. As Thanksgiving came around, I asked Tatiana what was one of the things she was most grateful for. She retrieved a large, old book that had beautiful decorative designs and letters on the cover. She patted it and said she wanted to tell me a story. As she spoke, her big brown eyes filled with tears. She talked about when she was a young girl, six years old, living in Russia. The government decided to make a concerted effort to rid the country of what the leaders called the scourge of religion. They came to the schools and talked to the children about how evil religion was. They then told the children that if they wanted to be good children, they must tell the government leaders if they knew of anyone that did religious things. They then brought out a Bible, as well as other religious books. They showed them to the children and told them that those books were evil, and if anyone read from them, that that person was also evil, and the children needed to tell their teachers so the teachers could tell the government. Tatiana said the Bible was almost exactly like the one her grandmother had. She said she almost told them right then and there, but decided not to. Howev- er, that night, as her grandmother pulled out her Bible to read to the family from it as she always did, Tatiana told about the men coming to her school. “Grandmother, the men told us that is an evil book. They said we must tell them if we know anyone that reads it. If you read from it anymore, I’m going to tell!” Tatiana said she watched as her grandmother started to cry, but she wrapped the beautiful old Bible in a blanket and hid it away. Tatiana said she heard her grandmother cry long into the night. Tatiana had planned to tell her teacher that her grandmother had that Bible, but before she could, something else happened. Some of the children, that had told about relatives that had Bibles or other religious things, watched as the K.G.B. came and took away parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The children hadn’t known they would be taken away. She said that her best friend lived right next door, and the night Tatiana’s grandmother put the Bible away for the last time, Tatiana heard banging on the neighbor’s door, some screams and yelling. The next day, her friend, eyes red and still crying, told her that they had taken her grandmother. Her friend said her family was all angry at her, and that her father said the men would take her grandmother and send her to a camp in Siberia where she would surely die. Tatiana felt a horrible feeling, knowing that she had almost done the same thing to her own grandmother. She said her friend never did see her grandmother again, and she became quiet, and withdrawn, and was distrustful of everyone. Tatiana tried to apologize to her own grandmother, but if her grandmother ever pulled the Bible out again, it was never while Tatiana was around. However, just before her grandmother died, Tatiana came home from college for a short visit, and the old woman came to her. She handed her something wrapped in a blanket, and told her that it was now hers to cherish or destroy as she desired. Without even unwrapping it, Tatiana knew it was the Bible. She thanked her grandmother, and said she would truly cherish it and protect it. Later, Tatiana had to flee Russia. Her husband had been sentenced to work in some coal mines because he stood up for a man in his military unit who was being abused because of his religious beliefs. She made her way to Finland, and from there to the United States, and though she could take little with her, she took the Bible hidden deep in her simple belongings. As she finished her story, Tatiana handed the beautiful book to me and smiled. “Now I read it every day, and I don’t have to worry about who sees me.” As I ran my hands over the word (Beebleeya) on its cover, I could only guess how much she had risked to bring it here. Now, every time I sit down to read the Bible with my family, I think of Tatiana and her Russian Bible, and it helps me to consider the many freedoms I am grateful for that I usually take so much for granted.

There are 31 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 30, 1864, the Second Battle of Franklin took place in Tennessee during the Civil War as Confederate forces led by Gen. John Bell Hood attacked Union troops commanded by Maj. Gen. John Schofield; Hood’s men were driven back with devastating losses. On this date: In 1782, the United States and Britain signed preliminary peace articles in Paris, ending the Revolutionary War. In 1803, Spain completed the process of ceding Louisiana to France, which had sold it to the United States. In 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens — better known as Mark Twain — was born in Florida, Mo. In 1874, British statesman Sir Winston Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace. In 1900, Irish writer Oscar Wilde died in Paris at age 46. In 1936, London’s famed Crystal Palace, constructed for the Great Exhibition of 1851, was destroyed in a fire. In 1939, the Winter War began as Soviet troops invaded Finland. (The conflict ended the following March with a Soviet victory.) In 1949, Chinese communist troops captured Chongqing. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Robert Guillaume is 87. Radio talk show host G.

Special story tellers, including administrators Tricia McNickle and Scott Wolfe, read stories from various countries and the third graders performed a Reading Theater. Members of the PEP Grant through Danielle Combs, Brian Weaver, and Alan Crisp taught dances and games from other countries, and the eighth graders produced a video that depicted landmarks and literary notoriety from various countries. The administration praised the efforts of the teachers for nearly a 100-percent participation rate. “Our success lies with our parents and the turnout tonight supported the reason why we have had success in reading here at Southern,” Principal Tricia McNickle said. “We hope every child remembers this experience and, most of all the importance of reading.” “I was pleased with the leadership, the hard work of the teachers, and the support of our school community,” Wolfe said. “This was a great experience for everyone.” “You prepare the best that you can, but you cannot plan for everything. Every incident is different and sometimes instinct just kicks in,” Wood said. “No plan is perfect. But if you have a plan, it always helps because we find that those who have planned can take part of that plan and adapt it to the events that are unfolding.” Bill DeWeese, of Nelsonville, academy commander, program coordinator and official trainer for the National Ranger Training Institute, and an expert on events involved with mass shootings, gave a presentation depicting strategies to improve survival and save children. He noted that mass shootings have dated back to the 1700s, but the first officially documented case came in 1927 when 37 children and five adults were killed in a school. Fifty-eight others were injured. “It’s always been around,” DeWeese said. “Back then, news traveled slowly and the incident may have been a local issue. But today with all the social media, news reporting and satellite links to the crime scene, everyone knows within minutes, if not seconds, of the events taking place.” Southern school board member Richie Wamsley, also a law enforcement officer, also spoke at the event and praised staff for the job they do with students on a daily basis. Chief Deputy Charles Mansfield then spoke to the crowd and prepared them for the drill in which they would soon take part. After the drill, Mansfield debriefed the crowd on what happened and noted some of the things that every- Sunday, November 30, 2014 5A Submitted photo Chief Deputy Charles Mansfield debriefs participants of the active-shooter training at Southern Local on what worked and what didn’t, adding advice along the way to improve Southern’s safety plan. one should have learned. Soon, two assailants firing live blanks came into the meeting room as Mansfield said to run to safety. It was estimated that during the hour-long drill more than 100 rounds were fired. Smoke filled the air and the fire alarms were activated. After the drill, all staff reassembled in the meeting room to discuss the drill. One teacher said, “I didn’t sign up for anything like this. It was so real, so traumatic.” Mansfield noted, “That’s why we wanted to make this as real as possible. You think you know what it will be like, but you don’t really know until you experience it.” Some of the obstacles learned were about locked gates that would not open when fleeing to a safe place, the fire doors automatically lock shut — which could potentially cause an obstacle when fleeing to a safe area, and that some doors were not locked among some other minor details. In the lines of communication, DeWeese noted that because some law enforcement responders will have different types of uniforms, some may be in plain clothes, and others may come from out of town; and that officers are trained to analyze and determine who is the “good guy” and who is the “bad guy.” All law enforcement in attendance noted that in the school’s area, communication could be a major problem because of limited resources. All suggested that communication should be limited. “We learned a lot today,” Deem said. “Our teachers definitely learned some of the things to do and some things not to do. This was an eyeopening event, but something vitally important to us keeping kids safe at school. We wanted to be proactive and not be so naïve to say ‘It can’t happen here’. It can happen anywhere.” Deem added, “Fortunately day-in-and-day out we have few incidents here at school, or for that matter even in the community. This is a great place to raise a child and a great place to live.” Precluding the active shooter drill was a session presented by Wood and deputy Adam Smith about new-age portable meth labs. Smith gave some background of how meth labs have evolved from home-based to predominantly portable. The deputies on hand also gave teachers warning signs to look for in students and parent users. It was noted that the sheriff’s office had taken down 14-16 labs during a three-month period in the summer and dozens more over the course of the past year. Southern teachers also took courses in state sandards, literacy, math methodology, and writing SLO’s, one of the markers that teachers are rated on in their state evaluations.

With winter approaching, the council talked about plans for this year and beyond. According to Mayor Michael Gerlach, the current plan is to use gravel, instead of salt, on the roads in Middleport. The discussion then shifted to planning ahead for next winter. While no concrete plans are in place yet, Gerlach said Middleport will try to work out a contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation to get salt next year. The council got into a heated conversation over overtime. The issue, which came up during the Nov. 10 meeting, stemmed from an issue with workers who get on-call overtime, even when they’re not at the site where work is being done. Several members of the council said there is no law on giving on-call overtime and called for it to be cut to save money. Gerlach and Clerk Sue Baker took issue with this. Baker said they can’t cut the overtime because it wouldn’t be legal and it could get them in trouble with the law. The issue was again tabled until the next meeting. Other meeting items included Police Chief Bruce Swift announcing that the police department will receive new police cruisers and another reading of Ordinance 96-14. The next meeting will be 7 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Middleport Police Department.

An arbitrator ruled Friday that his suspension for punching his fiancee, now his wife, should be vacated immediately. The NFL said Rice, a free agent, is “eligible to play upon signing a new contract.” Former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones said Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision in September to change Rice’s original suspension from two games to indefinite was “arbitrary” and an “abuse of discretion.” Jones was deciding whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice’s two-game suspension after video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching Janay became public. Rice was released by the Ravens when the video went public. Rice and the union contended he was essentially sentenced twice, and Jones agreed. She noted in her decision that after Goodell increased the punishment for a first offense under the personal conduct policy from two to six games, “the commissioner called Rice to assure him that the new policy would not affect him — that it was forward-looking and his penalty would not be increased.” In her decision, Jones also wrote: “Because Rice did not mislead the commissioner and because there were no new facts on which the commissioner could base his increased suspension, I find that the imposition of the indefinite suspension was arbitrary. I therefore vacate the second penalty imposed on Rice. “The provisions of the first discipline — those regarding making continued use of counseling and other professional services, having no further involvement with law enforcement, and not committing any additional violations of league policies — still stand.” The NFL said it accepted the decision. “We respect Judge Jones’s decision to reinstate Ray Rice from his indefinite suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy in an incident of domestic violence,” spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press. “Ray Rice is a free agent and has been eligible to be signed by an NFL team since he was released by the Ravens. Based on Judge Jones’ decision, he will be eligible to play upon signing a new contract.” Goodell and the Rices testified at the hearing, as did NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome. During his appearance, Goodell told Jones: “I do accept that I have to be consistent with consistent circumstances, and … I think that’s about fairness, and fairness would be, you should be as consistent as possible in your discipline.” The NFL Players Association claimed a “victory for a disciplinary process that is fair and transparent” in a statement. The union called again for collective bargaining to produce a new personal conduct policy.

(AP) — Defensive tackle Kyle Williams reflects on a tumultuous week and wonders whether Mother Nature might have handed the Buffalo Bills a unifying favor. The snowstorm that paralyzed much of the Buffalo region and forced the Bills to relocate their home game to Detroit provided Williams a glimpse of the team’s resilient makeup. Much like the community that didn’t back down in the face of more than 6 feet of snow that fell, the Bills overcame their own adversity with a resounding 38-3 rout of the New York Jets on Monday night. “I think that you can see that guys stuck together, had some adversity and didn’t use it as an excuse,” Williams said. “Maybe the fiber of the community is in this team.” With much of the snow melted, there’s no better chance for the Bills (6-5) to continue proving that Sunday, when they host Cleveland (7-4) in a key AFC playoff picture showdown. It’s a game between two franchises that share the Lake Erie shoreline — and lengthy playoff droughts. The Bills haven’t made the postseason since 1999, and own the NFL’s longest active streak. It’s been 12 years for the Browns. “You talk about uncharted territory,” Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer said. “I think for a team that hasn’t been in this situation for a long time, you see guys understanding what’s at stake.” The Browns have won six of eight, including a last-second 26-24 win at Atlanta last week. They’re also showing signs of having developed a new mettle under coach Mike Pettine, who spent last season as Bills defensive coordinator. Pettine isn’t surprised by the character the Bills displayed in overcoming the storm, and anticipates to be greeted by an “insanely loud” crowd at Ralph Wilson Stadium. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel

(AP) — Go ahead and snicker. While it may seem laughable that Sunday’s game between Tampa Bay (2-9) and Cincinnati (7-3-1) is just as important to the playoff aspirations of the struggling Buccaneers as those of the AFC North-leading Bengals, it’s also true. The surging Bengals, who’ve won four of five, clearly are in a position to control their own fate in the NFL’s tightest division race. “Our guys, they know the urgency,” Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said. The Bengals, who’ve won the past two weeks on the road, are one of a record 16 teams with at least seven victories through 11 games. Division rivals Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are all 7-4 — a half game behind the Bengals — making the AFC North the first division in league history to have every team at least three games above .500 at any point in a season. “We know every week is important, so you don’t want to have any slip-ups because if you do . you can go from first to last really easily,” Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton said. “We know every week is so important, so it just brings that extra focus to the game.” Despite being seven games under .500, the Bucs still have a chance to salvage their season in the under-performing NFC South. Amazingly, they’re only two games out of first place while also remaining in contention for the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft. “It’s crazy . but the reality of our division right now is it’s still up for grabs,” Tampa Bay quarterback Josh McCown said. “We’re not in a favorable position, but we’re not out of it.” Atlanta and New Orleans lead the NFC South at 4-7, with defending champion Carolina just behind them at 3-7-1. The Bucs face even longer odds of winning the division because they’ve lost twice to the Falcons and once to both the Saints and Panthers, who they’ll face again down the stretch. “You don’t want it to come like this, with this kind of record, but at the same you want to be playing meaningful games in late November and December,” McCown said. “Hopefully we can continue to put ourselves in position to do that, and it starts by beating Cincinnati.” Things to watch while the Bengals try to hang on to first in the AFC North and the Bucs try to climb back in the NFC South race: KINGS OF THE ROAD: The Bengals are trying to win three straight road games for the first time in franchise history. It’s the ninth time they’ve played at least three consecutive road games, the first since 2003. They’ve moved ahead of the NFL’s tightest division by winning in New Orleans and Houston. “Honestly if we can go into Tampa and take care of business, then the month of December will be exactly what we expected the month of December to be for us,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. RISING STAR: Bucs WR Mike Evans leads NFL in November with 505 yards receiving and six touchdowns through the air. He leads all rookies with 841 yards receiving overall and eight TD catches. MORE OF AJ: Receiver A.J. Green missed three games and most of another because of an injured right big toe, and was a nonfactor in his first two games back. He’s been back in form during the last two games, getting six catches for 127 yards in New Orleans and a career-high 12 catches for 121 yards in Houston. “We’ll try to get him 13, 14, 15 — however many we can,” Dalton said, jokingly. “But you know, it was a big point of emphasis getting A.J. involved. We got a lot of good looks for him to make plays and he made the plays. So when you’ve got a guy like that, you’ve got to give him his chances.” Steelers, Saints looking to kick-start stretch run PITTSBURGH (AP) — Forget about the surprisingly small number in the win column. Last time Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor checked, Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints were still dangerous. Besides, even at 4-7 the Saints are in first place in the NFC South. No, seriously. It’s a distinction the Steelers (7-4) can’t boast. Even after winning four of five, Pittsburgh heads to the final weekend in November tied teams who were under .500 after 11 games made the playoffs, with seven of them winning at least once in January before bowing out. New Orleans is convinced it can get there even if whatever wiggle room the Saints have could disappear if they don’t get it together soon. “I think they’re grown men and they’re smart enough to understand what’s at stake,” coach Sean Payton said. “But make no mistake about it, we’ve got to play better football.” Which is something the for last in the AFC North. So forgive Taylor if he talks about the Saints as if they’re a potential playoff team. “Four wins ain’t got nothing to do with No. 2 offense in the league, No. 3 passing,” Taylor said. “They can say what they want to say, they’re still the top offense in this league.” And as ugly as it has looked at times, Saints coach Sean Payton isn’t letting his frustration bubble over. Since the NFL expanded to a 12-team postseason format in 1990, 17 Steelers have been doing for more than a month, even if they haven’t made any inroads on first-place Cincinnati. It will likely take at least 10 wins and probably 11 to emerge from the crowded AFC North with a playoff spot. Pittsburgh figures it has already used up its allotment of losses to teams with dreadful records after falling to Tampa Bay and the New York Jets. The difference between those two teams and the Saints is obvious. Neither of those two has Brees. “He don’t do nothing wrong, you know,” Taylor said of Brees. “He’s the Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. He’s that caliber.” Of course, Taylor includes Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger into that group, too. The 11-year veteran is in the midst of the finest statistical season of his career. It won’t matter much, though, if the Steelers fail to make it to January. “We’ve got to put together a stretch of football like we never played before,” Roethlisberger said. Some things to look for as New Orleans searches for respect and the Steelers try to build momentum: HOMECOMING I: Pittsburgh wide receiver Lance Moore spent nine seasons in New Orleans and his 346 grabs with the Saints rank fifth in franchise history. He’s still waiting for his role to be defined with the Steelers. This week that role included giving insight on how Brees works. “I have no problem sharing that information if I think it will help us win,” Moore said. HOMECOMING II: New Orleans cornerback Keenan Lewis played four years with the Steelers before the Saints lured him home in 2013. Lewis is now one of the most consistent players on an inconsistent defense and will find himself matched up with good friend Antonio Brown, who happens to lead the NFL in receptions. NEW FACES: Pittsburgh’s bye week wasn’t completely drama free. The Steelers cut running back LeGarrette Blount one day after a 27-24 Monday night win over Tennessee when Blount headed to the locker room before the final gun as a small protest for his lack of carries. Blount’s abrupt departure led the Steelers to promote undrafted rookie Josh Harris to the active squad. Harris now finds himself as the primary backup to workhorse Le’Veon Bell.

Eight sites are included in the tour. Headquarters will be at Riverby, home of the French Art Colony, where tickets will be sold starting at 5 p.m. the evening of the tour. In addition to Riverby, other sites include the home of Betty Goodrich at 613 Second Ave.; Grace United Methodist Church right across the street; the Our House Museum at 432 First Ave.; the apartment of Patrick Dressel in the historic home at 24½ State S.; the Holzer Guest House, at 76 State St., between Third and Fourth avenues; one of the new City Park Plaza apartments, facing Gallipolis City Park at 334 Second Ave., and the Victorian House, belonging to Kelly Jo McCaulla, at the corner of Third and Grape streets. Sites on the tour vary from historic to contemporary, with a mix of styles to please almost everyone, and decorated to reflect the Christmas holiday season. The brand new City Park Plaza, at 334 Second Ave., is very near completion. The owners, Jim Blair of Blair Builders and Randy Breech of Breech Engineering, are proud of the 22,000-square foot, $2 million project in the middle of the 300 block, the former location of Haskins-Tanner. A total of 10 rental apartments will be on the second and third floors of the building, one of which will be open for the FAC Holiday Tour, easily accessible by elevator. Three tenant spaces are on the first floor. Also, four, 1½ car garages will be available for rent in the rear of the building. The apartments will feature high-efficiency fixtures, and range from 1,100-square feet to 1,500-square feet. At 24½ State Street, the brick Queen Anne style home, circa 1894, was converted to a duplex in the 1930s. The spacious three-bedroom apartment on the second floor is occupied by Patrick Dressel, owner of the Home Place Mercantile. He has transformed the interior into a Christmas wonderland. Visitors will be charmed by his unique decorating skills, all focusing on Christmas. This charming house, overlooking City Park, originally built by local banker Alfred Henking, has appeared in Midwest Living and other magazines. The Our House Museum, at 432 First Ave., will be welcoming Holiday Tour visitors, putting them in the Christmas spirit, with decorations, refreshments reflecting the 1800s and live music. Built around 1819, it was the first “guest house” and tavern in the town. Several famous visitors stayed there in the early years. Jenny Lind was a guest, as was Gen. Lafayette during his triumphal tour of America in 1825. The name “Our House” came from the owner, Henry Cushing, who met riverboats when they docked. He greeted passengers and invited them to come over to our house, and thus the name today. The museum is maintained locally, housing a multitude of historic antiques and treasures of the early days of the Gallipolis area. Grace United Methodist Church, 600 Second Ave., has a long history. The first church was built in 1821, on the site of the present church. In the winter 1848-1849, a storm damaged that church beyond repair, and an entirely new one was built in 1849. It became inadequate in 1875 and a new church was dedicated in 1876. In 1926, an addition to the church was constructed, opening into the rear of the main church. Hope for an Educational unit was finally realized in 1955, with the cornerstone laid on July 29, 1959. The church continued to acquire adjacent properties and expand. Tragedy struck on June 20, 1977, when fire gutted the entire 101-yearold church. The remains of the building were razed, and the brand new church was consecrated on March 23, 1980. The church will be beautifully decorated for the Holiday tour visitors. The Holzer Guest House at 76 State St., between Third and Fourth avenues, was built around 1860 by one of Gallipolis’old French families — the Cruzets. A blend of Federal and Italianate styling, it became famous as “Gatewood,” purchased by O.O. McIntyre, the first American syndicated newspaper columnist, who planned to retire there. Mrs. McIntyre spent her summers there until her death. Holzer purchased “Gatewood” in 2011 to enhance the visit experience for physician candidates and their families who visit the area looking for an employment opportunity. It remains one of the most memorable parts of their visit experience. For the Holiday tour, visitors can expect to find the Holzer Guest House decorated with a simple, yet elegant theme, preserving the home’s rich heritage. Riverby, the former home of the late Dr. and Mrs. Charles E. Holzer Sr., and now the home of the French Art Colony’s multi-arts center, was built between 1855-58 by Dr. Livesay. The Holzers bought the house in 1918 and made a number of additions and changes over the years, including the sunken garden, the wrought iron fence, a swimming pool and other features. The architectural highlight in Riverby is the wall hung winding stairway to the upper floors. After a lengthy illness, Mrs. Holzer Sr. died in 1970 in the hospital next door. With the support of Dr. Holzer’s son Charles Jr., Submitted photos AT LEFT, for a number of years, this house located at 613 Second Ave., was owned by the former Holzer Hospital and used as a residence by Holzer physicians and their families.

With many volunteers, renovations began, early in 1971, since the home had not been occupied for five years. Volunteers raised $77,500 for purchase and renovation, happily burning the mortgage two years later. Home tour visitors will not only enjoy delicious refreshments, but can also take pleasure in the current exhibit in the Gallery, featuring Christmas quilts and an array of puppets from around the world. Participating artisans from the Gallia County Artisan Market will also be at Riverby. The Victorian house, at 206 Third Ave., on the corner of Third and Grape streets, was built in 1902 by John Danner and is now owned by Kelly Jo Chapman-McCaulla. In 1997, she purchased the house from the Willis family, who had occupied it since 1958. Area residents immediately know it is the Christmas season when they enter the spacious entry hall and see the Santa Claus figures adorning the double landing massive oak staircase to the second floor, where they also find three bedrooms and two full baths. In front of the Victorian fireplace, in the living room, is a rare collection of Nutcrackers. The formal dining room opens into the large family/kitchen area, with a center island and built in cherry cabinetry and hutch. French doors lead onto the brick walled courtyard. Unique is the Victorian turret, entered from the third floor. The home of Betty Goodrich is at 613 Second Ave. It is a two-story frame home built in 1910 See TOUR | 4C �LOCAL 2C Sunday, November 30, 2014 Sunday Times-Sentinel ‘Hoops for Hunger’ LIVESTOCK REPORT GALLIPOLIS — United Producers, Inc., livestock report of sales from Nov. 19, 2014.

Third place came and went. And then second. She held her breath. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the announcer said her name — Bailey had won.

In addition to their safety concerns, Bailey’s parents wanted to make sure this was an activity she really wanted to participate in. So they waited a couple years before agreeing to let her take a weekly horse-riding lesson at Meadow Dream Farm. Morrison and her husband, Jimmy, own the farm in Nitro and live on-site. Their 30-stall facility offers a large lesson program to individuals with some or little experience. She said their passion for riding and horses goes back as far as their childhood. “My husband grew up with horses. His family owned a farm in Kentucky and he grew up riding, showing and competing. So he was kind of always into horses. I just loved horses as a child and didn’t start riding until I was about 12,” she said. Since they began at Meadow Dream Farm, the couple has been able to train and produce several show and academy riders. She said they give nearly 100 lessons a week and compete in shows April through November. living room and dining room.
