SE Ohio now open to traffic, economic development

Nelsonville Bypass provides
safer access to southern Ohio
Stephanie Filson

Managing Editor
sfilson@civitasmedia.com

NELSONVILLE — The opening this week of the U.S. 33
Nelsonville Bypass was a dream
come true for engineers and
transportation officials who had
spent sometimes entire careers
prodding it through to fruition.
The bypass is an 8.5-mile section
of four-lane highway that serves
as the largest transportation
project in southeast Ohio history
and the final part of the U.S. 33
Corridor that safely connects
Columbus, Ohio through Meigs

County to Charleston, W.Va. and
all parts south of there.
Ribbon cuttings for transportation projects are certainly good
days for local, state and regional
public officials and politicians,
but marking the completion of
a project like the U.S. 33 Nelsonville Bypass, which took nearly
50 years to plan, fund and construct, holds a special place in
the hearts of employees with the
Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) — some of whom
have spent decades working on
the $160 million project.

RIO GRANDE — The multicolored
tents that can be seen on the horizon
line at this time of year by motorists
traveling northward toward Bob Evans
Farm and into the Village of Rio Grande
can only mean one thing to those native
to Gallia County — another farm festival weekend has nearly arrived.
Workers were busy on Friday afternoon
making preparations for the opening of
the 43rd Annual Bob Evans Farm Festival
that will take place this year from Friday,
October 11 through Sunday, October 13
at the farm in Rio Grande.
Nearly 30,000 visitors from 20 states are
expected to descend upon the farm in Rio
Grande next weekend to enjoy the sights,
sounds and tastes of the farm festival.
“There is no place better for families, adults and kids alike to enjoy a
great, affordable, fun-filled weekend
than at the Bob Evans Farm Festival,”
said Ray McKinniss, manager of Bob

Countless servings of farm festival bean soup will be dipped from
these kettles this coming weekend during the 43rd Annual Bob Evans
Farm Festival in Rio Grande. Approximately 30,000 people from across
the country are expected to attend the festival this year.

POMEROY — The deadline to register to vote in the
Nov. 5 general election is Monday and the Meigs County
Board of Elections office will be open from 9 a.m to 9 p.m.
to accommodate the public.
“Monday is the last chance residents have to register, and
without being registered they cannot vote in the November
election,” said Becky Johnston, Meigs County Board of Elections director. She also advised that residents can come in
to register and can vote while they are there. The Board of
Elections office is located in the Meigs County Courthouse
Annex on Mulberry Heights. Johnston noted that the last
day to register is always 30 days prior to the election.
Registration can also be done on line, according to Secretary of State Jon Husted at MyOhioVote.com. He also
suggested that voters who have moved since the last election should now act to update their voting address. That
can also be done either at the local Board of Elections Office or when registering online at the MyOhioVote.com.
In-service absentee voting began on Oct. 1 (35 days before the election) and voters have until Saturday, Nov. 2 at
noon to request an absentee ballot by mail. They may do
so by contacting their county board of elections for more
information or by downloading an absentee ballot request
from the online source, MyOhioVote.com.
To cast an absentee ballot by mail, voters must complete,
sign and seal their voted ballots, taking care to provide
the required information, including proper identification.
Voted ballots must be postmarked the day before Election
Day and received no later than 10 days after the election
(November 15, 2013). Absentee ballots may also be delivered in person to boards of elections no later than the
close of the polls on Election Day. However, they can not be
returned at polling locations. Voters are reminded proper
identification is required when voting on Election Day.
In Meigs County, in addition to candidates, there will
be local liquor options, local tax levies, and the issue of
electric aggregation in Pomeroy and Racine to be voted
on. The liquor options pertain to the Racine Diner in Racine and the Wild Horse Cafe in Pomeroy.
As for local tax levies to be decided in the election, they
are as follows:
Chester Township, 2.0 mills replacement fire protection;
Columbia Township, 1.2 mills new road maintenance levy;
Lebanon Township, 1.0 mill renewal fire protection;
Letart Township, 1.0 mill renewal fire protection;
Meigs County Senior Citizens, 1.1 mills renewal for the benefit of maintaining and increasing Senior Citizens services;
Middleport Village, 3.0 mills additional fire protection;
Olive Township, 2.0 mills additional road maintenance;

ODA offers tips for purchasing firewood
REYNOLDSBURG — As
winter quickly approaches
and more Ohioans look to
firewood to help heat their
homes, Director David
Daniels of the Ohio Department of Agriculture is asking Ohioans to be aware
of some basic tips to help
when purchasing wood.
Prior to purchasing, the
following firewood rules
and regulations are helpful to know:Non-packaged
firewood must be sold by
the cord or by fractions of a
cord. One cord, when prop-

erly stacked, should be 8
feet long by 4 feet high and
4 feet wide (128 cubic feet).
If sold in bulk, firewood
must be purchased by
the weight in ton measurements. This must be
weighed on a certified scale.
It is illegal to sell firewood by any other unit
of measurement such as
a rick, rack, face cord or
truckload. If a consumer
believes that a seller did
not comply with these
rules and regulations, the
person should immediately

would like to like to thank the 2nd
Floor Staff of the Holzer Hospital
for the care I received during my stay
there. Thanks to all those that prayed
for my recovery and most of all may
the Glory be to God for all the great
things He has done.
60454909

contact the seller.
If non-packaged firewood is purchased, the
seller must present the
consumer with a delivery
ticket or sales invoice that
includes contact information and the terms and
conditions of the sale.
If firewood is advertised
and sold as “seasoned,”
it must have a moisture
content of less than 50
percent.
“Unseasoned”
wood will only produce
two-thirds of the heat of
“seasoned” wood.
If the firewood is advertised and sold as a certain
type of wood, the load
must contain at least 90
percent of that species.
If a problem occurs
with a firewood sale, and
the seller will not correct
the problem, consumers
should contact the Ohio
Department of Agriculture’s Division of Weights
and Measures at 1-800282-1955 or contact a local weights and measures
inspector located in each
county auditor’s office.

Bypass
From Page A1
ODOT District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams, P.E., spoke to
the crowd of more than a hundred
excited people gathered to celebrate the transportation accomplishment, noting specifically the
unprecedented work in environmental mitigation.
“These two projects combined,
$160 million in construction, create
one of the largest construction projects we have had at [ODOT] District
10,” said Williams. “The numbers get
big, so let’s try to put them in perspective, 26 million yards of dirt has
been moved on these projects; that’s
enough to fill the Empire State Building 20 times. Asphalt and concrete
pavement that were placed on these
two projects — enough to cover 76
football fields.
“Since 1980, we have spent

more than $330 million to upgrade
this Corridor — the Lancaster
Bypass, Athens to Darwin, the Ravenswood Connector — and I am
so honored that in District 10, I’ve
had the opportunity to work on
every one of these projects,” noted
Williams in his remarks.
“It’s a good day,” said former
ODOT District 10 Deputy Director
George Collins of Reedsville. Collins
was in attendance at Tuesday’s opening and spoke to the Sunday TimesSentinel afterward.
“I think we discussed this project
in some way every day that I was
deputy director,” Collins said, smiling. “This project has been a long
time coming for a lot of people. I
am so proud to be here today, and
I know there are countless others
who feel the same way. It was a tremendous effort that has involved so
many over the years.”

Kenner Bush, Athens resident
and longtime advocate for the
progress of transportation projects
throughout southeast Ohio, addressed the crowd last.
“Well, Earl, we made it!” started
Bush, referring to longtime colleague and partner in “persistent”
transportation advocacy Earl Matthews, age 93, also of Athens.
“As has already been noted today,
the Nelsonville Bypass is a capstone
of a 48-year struggle, spanning seven state administrations, to finally
break down the transportation barriers to a better life for our people
in this part of the state,” said Bush.
“There’s one thing in lobbying for
highways, that is longevity and persistence, and all of that started with
the concept and development of the
Appalachian Development program
and the idea of running a highway
across southern Ohio.”

Gallia man will give
part of his liver so
that cousin may live
Paul R. Sebastian
GALLIPOLIS — Michael Stapleton, age 21, of Crown
City, a self-employed auto mechanic, has learned a lot
about self-giving and the virtue of charity as a member of
St. Louis Catholic Church. Now he is heroically putting
love into practice.
On October 8 at the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center, Stapleton will be giving 35-40 percent of his liver
(the secondary lobe) to his cousin Keith Davison, age 43,
of Gallipolis. Davison has had Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis for 17 years now, a disease of the liver which is
debilitating and eventually fatal depending on how fast
the disease progresses. With frequent treatments, Davison has been able to work until now for AEP Construction as an Ohio State electrical/civil engineer, but not for
long without a transplant.
The chance of success of the transplant is about 90 percent for Davison and 99.5 percent for Stapleton. Since
there is clearly a significant risk of serious complications
for both of them plus a 7-10 day hospital stay with six
months of recovery for Davison and three months for Stapleton, hundreds of friends and parishioners are praying
and more prayers are requested. If all goes well, both men
will have full-sized regenerated livers in about six months
although with only one lobe.
Davison has been on the waiting list for a transplant
from a deceased donor for the last four years. His brotherin-law volunteered but was incompatible. Recently, cousin Stapleton stepped up to be a living donor without even
being asked.
“I do not want to see Krystal [age 8] grow up without a
dad, especially knowing that I could have helped save her
father’s life,” said Stapleton.
Both underwent medical testing in Pittsburgh on September 18-19, and Stapleton was found to be compatible
in terms of blood vessel configuration. With great faith
and courage, both will be ready to embark on this journey
on Tuesday.
Yes, it will be very expensive, his health insurance coverage will not be anywhere near sufficient. Thus friends
are organizing a hog roast at the parish hall on November 16 and setting up an account at Ohio Valley Bank
to receive donations. The website helphopelive.org helps
people like Davison and is accepting donations for him.
Davison hopes that his ordeal will help others by making healthy people more aware of the need for organ donations because demand far exceeds supply.
“The recipient is not a faceless person. The donor is
saving a dad or a mom or a child. One donor who accidentally loses his life, can save several lives with his
heart, lungs, and kidneys,” Davison emphasized.
Anyone can become a donor through a living will or
simply making his wishes known to next of kin. When
you renew your license, have “Ohio Organ Donor”
stamped on it. Then your death may give life to another.
“God sends people into our lives to help us and sometimes we have to hide our pride and accept the help. God
sent Simon Cyrene to Christ on the road to Calvary and
He accepted his help,” added Davison.

Chamber president addresses community
Editor’s note: The print version
of this letter comes after some of the
listed local events have taken place.
Please note the local events that are
yet to happen. — SF/Editor
First and foremost, on behalf of
our Chamber Staff, thank you for
your overwhelming show of support with the recent loss of our dear
Lorie. She was not only an incredible Executive Director, she was
also a special friend and a fiercely
loyal advocate for Gallia County.
While Lorie’s presence will be
greatly missed, your Board and
the dedicated team at the office
will carry on the important work
of the Chamber … and make Lorie
proud. Though it may take a few
days to get everything back on
track, we will get back to the busi-

ness of, well, business.
As we work together toward
this goal, I wanted to make sure
you were aware we have decided
to cancel two Chamber events
planned for this week: October’s
First Friday and our 9th Annual
French City Chili Fest. However,
we will resume our monthly First
Friday presentations on November 1st , as we welcome Mark
Curry from The Wiseman Agency,
who will give us an update on the
healthcare reform changes that
may affect our members.
In addition, we are excited to announce the opening of a new business, Luckeydoo’s 24HR Fitness,
located on Eastern Avenue next
to Irvin’s Glass. We hope you will
be able to join us for their ribbon

cutting on Saturday, October 12th
at 11 a.m. Of course, don’t miss the
opening of The Ohio Valley Symphony’s concert season on October
5 and be sure to check out the many
exciting activities planned for the
43rd Annual Bob Evans Farm Festival — October 11, 12 and 13.
Again, thank you for your heartfelt support. I must give a special
Thank You to Ohio Valley Bank
for graciously “loaning” me to the
Chamber during this transition
period. It’s just one more example
of Community First and why Gallia County is such a special place
to live and work.
Sincerely,
Kyla Carpenter,
Chamber President
Gallia County

Editorials from around the region
$2/��==9-3+&gt;/.� &lt;/==

Excerpts of recent editorials of
statewide and national interest from
Ohio and West Virginia newspapers:
Ironton Tribune, Sept. 26
Many Americans have long suspected most members of Congress
were basically spoiled children who
act out when they don’t get their way.
On Sept. 24 those suspicions were
confirmed when tax dollars were
wasted listening to Dr. Seuss.
Sen. Ted Cruz, a Tea Party Republican from Texas, showed the mentality of many of his peers in Washington by giving a 21-hour speech
that included quotes from popular
television shows, ruminations on the
Revolutionary War and reading his
daughters a bedtime story of Seuss’
“Green Eggs and Ham.”
Cruz was protesting “Obamacare,”
another futile attempt that was nothing
more than political grandstanding. …
Actions like this are what has turned
the Tea Party from a legitimate political movement focused on better government into a national punch line.
All this did was waste time before
the inevitable outcome of the Senate approving a stopgap measure to
prevent a government shutdown,
which is a fancy way of saying the
government will kick the proverbial
can down the road once again rather
solving anything.
Both political parties are embarrassing our nation. Refusing to
compromise leaves huge issues unresolved and our country on the verge
of a backward economic slide.

It is time for both parties to put the
children’s books away and start acting
like the adults they were elected to be.

Sept. 26, Charleston
(W. Va.) Gazette on broadband
project is a fiasco:
If the Guinness Book of World Records has a category for the worst bureaucratic bungles, the top spot might
go to West Virginia’s pathetic handling
of the statewide broadband network
that was funded by federal tax money.
For more than a year, Statehouse
reporter Eric Eyre revealed how state
officials stupidly installed monstersize $22,000 routers in tiny public facilities where $100 units could have
transmitted data to computers.
Earlier this year, Legislative Auditor Aaron Allred confirmed that
between $8 million and $15 million
in U.S. funds was wasted on the
routers. Commendably, the vendor
that supplied the wireless devices —
Cisco Systems, headed by Charleston
native John Chambers — offered to
correct the botch and give West Virginia extra years of free warranty.
Next, Eyre disclosed that outside examiners concluded that West Virginia’s
broadband system was supposed to be
an “open-access network” available to
all servers, but it became mostly a “private” web giving Frontier Communications an “unintended monopoly.”
Taxpayers paid $118,000 for this
outside analysis, but the Tomblin administration hid it from the public for

nearly a year, until Eyre unearthed it.
Frontier issued an angry denial.
One legislator, Delegate Gary
Howell, R-Mineral, asked whether
this mess should be referred to U.S.
attorneys and the FBI for a criminal
investigation. Allred replied: “What
they did definitely was illegal, in
our opinion, but whether there was
a crime, that’s really up to the U.S.
prosecutor to decide, not for us.”
Well, we hope U.S. prosecutors
make a decision about this travesty.
West Virginians have lived through a
seemingly endless parade of humiliating revelations. Now they deserve to
know whether the fiasco was caused
by incompetence, or something worse.

The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer,
Sept. 29
Billy Slagle’s suicide in August,
just three days before his execution,
offers a revealing look at a broken
death row system that mishandles
potentially suicidal prisoners. It desperately needs mending.
According to an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction report on the Slagle suicide,
the Chillicothe Correctional Institution and other death row prisons
must do more to evaluate prisoners as they approach their execution dates to determine whether to
place them under heightened watch
or take other precautions. …

Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.

Official: Woman killed in DC chase was delusional
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) —
The Connecticut woman who
was shot to death outside the
U.S. Capitol after trying to ram
her car through a White House
barrier had been under the delusion the president was communicating with her, a federal law
enforcement official said Friday.
The woman’s mother said she
had been suffering from postpartum depression.
Miriam Carey’s killing at the
hands of police Thursday was
Washington’s second major
spasm of deadly violence involving an apparently unstable person in 2½ weeks.
Interviews with some of those
who knew the 34-year-old wom-

an suggested she was coming
apart well before she loaded her
1-year-old daughter into the car
for the drive to Washington.
Carey had suffered a head injury in a fall and had been fired
as a dental hygienist, according
to her former employer.
The federal law enforcement
official, who had been briefed
about the investigation but was
not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of
anonymity, said investigators
were interviewing Carey’s family about her mental state and
examining writings found in her
Stamford condominium.
“We are seeing serious degradation in her mental health,

certainly within the last 10
months, since December, ups
and downs,” the official said.
“Our working theory is her
mental health was a significant
driver in her unexpected presence in D.C. yesterday.”
Carey believed President
Barack Obama was communicating to her, the official said.
“Those communications were, of
course, in her head,” the official
said, adding that concerns about
her mental health were reported
in the last year to Stamford police.
Stamford Police Chief Jonathan Fontneau said his officers
had gone to Carey’s home in the
past, though not in response to
any crime. He gave no details.

The federal official said investigators believe that she drove
straight to the nation’s capital
and that the violence unfolded
immediately upon her arrival.
After ramming the barricades
at the White House, the apparently unarmed Carey led police
on a chase down Constitution
Avenue to the Capitol, where she
was shot in a harrowing chain
of events that led to a brief lockdown of Congress. Carey’s daughter escaped serious injury and
was taken into protective custody.
Carey’s neighbors in Stamford
were shocked to learn the driver’s identity and see her gleaming black Infiniti wrecked outside the Capitol in TV footage.

Ohio school,
ACLU settle
suit over
Jesus portrait
JACKSON — A middle
school in Ohio will be
forced to permanently remove a portrait of Jesus
from its school grounds
and pay nearly $100,000
after reaching a settlement
Friday with two groups,
including the state chapter of the American Civil
Liberties Union.
The settlement requires
the Jackson City School
District in southern Ohio
to pay the ACLU and
Wisconsin-based Freedom
From Religion Foundation
damages and legal fees totaling $95,000.
The two sides had a tentative agreement months
ago that bogged down in
more legal filings after
the two groups said the
school district continued
to keep the Jesus portrait, and displayed it on
the school lawn during a
prayer meeting. Court filings show the portrait was
also visible to those entering an art-storage area.
“All of this was unnecessary,” said James
Hardiman, legal director
for ACLU of Ohio. “The
law is pretty clear … the
display of this particular
kind of religious artifact
(in a public school) is unconstitutional.”
He said U.S. District
Judge Algenon Marbley
in Columbus accepted the
settlement Friday.
Superintendent
Phil
Howard said in a statement
that the district’s attorneys
believed settling was the
“best case scenario” at this
point because legal fees
were “mounting by the day.”
He said the district’s insurance will pay the nearly
$95,000 and taxpayers will
not be liable for the damages and legal fees.

Meigs blasts Buckeyes, 47-6
Dave Harris
Special to OVP

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— THE LOSING STREAK
IS OVER.
For the first time since
1999 the Meigs Marauders
defeated the Nelsonville
York Buckeyes in convincing fashion Friday night at
Holzer Field/Farmers Bank
Stadium by a score of 476. The Marauders defeated
the Buckeyes 34-12 that
night 14years ago. The
47 points is also the most
points the Marauders have
scored in the 34 games
between the two teams.
Nelsonville-York leads the
all time series by a 13-21

advantage. The win also
avenges a lopsided 54-8
win by Nelsonville-York
last season over Meigs.
The Marauders (4-2, 1-0
TVC Ohio)hit paydirt first
when Michael Davis scored
from 21 yards out, Davis
added the extra points at
the 31 second mark of the
first period and Meigs was
on top 8-0. Damon Jones
set up the next Marauder
score when he picked off
a Colton Adams pass giving the Marauders the ball
at the Buckeye 39. Nine
plays later, Kaileb Sheets
hit Ty Phelps from a yard
out; Sheets added the extra points on a pass from
Cody Bartrum for a 16-0

Marauder lead with 6:51
left in the half.
Morgan Tucker recovered a Noah Andrews fumble at the Buckeye20 just
three plays after the Marauder td. Six plays later
Andrew Burt bulled over
from the one, Davis added
the extra points for a 24-0
Meigs lead with 3:50 left in
the half.
Alex Mount set up the
only NYHS (2-4, 0-1)
score of the night when he
picked off a Bartrum throw
deep in Meigs territory.
Andrews drove over for the
score from a yard out with
4 seconds left in the half
and the two teams went
into the locker room with

the Marauders on top 24-6.
Meigs picked up where
they left off in the third
when Bartrum hit Sheets

Burt made it a 32-6 contest at the 6:32 mark of the
third period. Jordan Hutton increased the Meigs
advantage with a beautiful

sideline; Hutton shook off
the final Buckeyes tackler with a stiff arm at the

Southern junior Tristen Wolfe (3) scrambles out of the pocket during the Tornadoes 28-14 loss to Wahama, Friday night in Racine.

Southern stopped by
White Falcons, 28-14
Gary Clark

Special to OVP

RACINE, Ohio — What
was forecast as a significant high school football
contest in the Hocking
Division of the Tri-Valley
Conference as well as possessing important postseason concerns for both
teams turned out to be
just as projected Friday
evening before a standing
room only crowd at Roger
Adams Memorial Stadium.
Once-beaten
Wahama
and unbeaten Southern
engaged in a 48-minute
struggle with the visiting
White Falcons scoring 28
unanswered points after
falling behind by an early
7-0 margin to hand a determined Tornado eleven
its first loss of the year by
a 28-14 score.
The decisive difference
in the classic battle was the
White Falcons ability to
acquire the big play gains
and eventually turn those
achievements into points.
Wahama received two long
range pass receptions, a 26yard run and a fourth down
fake punt and managed to
turn those plays into touchdowns to come away with
the hard fought win.
WHS, ranked 14th in the
latest WVSSAC Class A
state ratings, captured its
fourth consecutive victory
on the season to improve
to 5-1 overall and 4-1 inside
conference competition.
Coach Kyle Wickline’s
Southern eleven entered
the league affair unbeaten
on the year and with an
enormous amount of confidence in the crucial gridiron contest and it showed
quickly, especially after the
Tornadoes gained the early
lead following an early Falcon turnover.
Southern entered the affair ranked 11th in Division
VII of the latest Ohio rankings and was rated fourth in
Region 25. Although the loss
concluded the Tornadoes unbeaten string at five straight,
the Meigs County team’s
postseason aspirations received but a slight delay.

Southern fell to 5-1 overall
on the 2013 football season
while dropping to 3-1 inside
the Hocking Division of the
TVC following the loss.
Southern drew first
blood early in the opening
quarter when the Tornadoes recovered a Wahama
fumble at its own three
yard line. It took the Tornadoes only one play to
prove the Falcon turnover
to be a costly one as senior
Tyler Barton opened the
nights scoring with a three
yard plunge just 3:30 into
the contest. Trenton Deem
booted the point after and
to the delight of the Southern fans in attendance the
Meigs County team enjoyed an early 7-0 edge.
Wahama wasted little
time in answering their
cross-river foes first score
by taking the ensuing
kickoff and marching 68
yards in only five plays. A
47-yard Hunter Bradley to
Brandon Stewart pass was
the huge play of the series
with Colton Neal capping
off the drive with a six yard
run during the first of his
four touchdowns on the
night. The point after kick
was blocked and Southern
clung to a 7-6 advantage
with 6:57 remaining in the
opening period.
Another long pass, this
one a 32 yard halfback toss
from Kane Roush to Wyatt
Zuspan, set up the Bend
Area team s go-ahead touchdown with Neal finishing off
the short three play, 44 yard
series with a three yard run.
Again WHS misfired on its
point after attempt and with
5:10 left in the first quarter
led by a 12-7 score.
Southern embarked on
a long drive following the
ensuing kickoff, its second extended series of the
night, but on both occasions the Tornadoes came
away empty-handed which
ultimately proved to have
a huge bearing in the contests final outcome.
After moving from its
own 20 to the Wahama 20
in 12 plays Southern was
forced to turn the ball over

Panthers fend off River Valley, 26-14
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

BIDWELL, Ohio — An air
raid works best with a little
ground support.
Unfortunately, River Valley
found out the hard way Friday
night following a 28-16 setback
to visiting Chesapeake on Homecoming in a Week 6 Ohio Valley
Conference gridiron matchup in
Gallia County.
The host Raiders (1-5, 0-1 OVC)
outgained CHS by a slim 315-303
overall margin in total yardage,
which included a comfortable 25780 edge in passing yards.
The Panthers, however, countered with a ground assault that
proved to be too much for RVHS
to overcome, as the guests pounded out 223 rushing yards — com-

ing it a 7-0 contest with 3:24 left
in the period.
After forcing a three-and-out, the
Panthers followed with an 8-play,
63-yard drive that resulted in a
14-0 edge after Meadows plunged
in from three yards out with 10:19
remaining before halftime.
The Raiders wasted little time
retaliating, as Dayton Hardway
hit Austin Bradley with a 79-yard
scoring pass on the first play of
the ensuing drive — allowing the
hosts to pull to within 14-7 with
10:01 left in the half.
Both teams trade possessions,
then CHS quarterback Austin
Oldaker ended a 7-play, 82-yard
scoring drive with a 1-yard run
— allowing the guests to claim
a 21-7 cushion just 38 seconds

pared to just 58 by River Valley.
Both teams gained an advantage
with their approach, but the real
difference in the outcome came
down to how each team fared
when the roles were reversed.
RVHS twice came up scoreless
on first-and-goal drives inside the
five, while Chesapeake went a perfect 4-for-4 in the passing game —
which included the game-clincher
late in the fourth quarter.
The Panthers (1-5, 1-0 OVC)
proved their ground superiority from the opening bell, as the
guests executed 18 consecutive
running plays before attempting
a pass on the opening play of the
second quarter.
CHS scored on its opening drive
with a 15-play, 64-yard march
down the field that was capped by
a Chad Meadows 3-yard run, mak-

scrambled into the endzon
from seven yards out to
give SGHS the lead again.
Hutchinson hit Michael
Wheeler for the two point
conversion and South Gallia led 16-12.
On Federal Hockings
next drive Crum broke a
50 yard run for six points
and, following the Peyton
Seel two-point run, put
the Lancers back on top
20-16. Seel got in on the
action with just 45 second
remaining until halftim
with a 52 yard touchdown
reception from Nichols.
The two-point try failed
but FHHS led 26-16.
The Lancers perhaps left
too much time on the clock
for South Gallia, as the Rebels cut the lead to two points
on a 42 yard touchdown
pass from Landon Hutchinson to Spurlock and a twopoint conversion pass from
Hutchinson to Wheeler.
With momentum on
their side the third quarter belonged to the Rebels.
Jacob White scored three
times in the quarter, on
a five yard run, a 53 yard
run and a 31 yard run,
while Spurlock found the
endzone on an 18 yard
run. SGHS converted 1-of4 two-point conversions, a
Hutchinson pass to Spur-

lock, and the Rebels led 5026 headed into the finale.
South Gallia tacked
on one more score in the
fourth quarter, a 91 yard
run by Issiah Geiger and
extra point kick by Landon
Hutchinson, and the Rebels led 57-26 with four minutes remaining.
Federal Hocking found
the endzone for the final
time at the 2:19 mark of
the fourth on a six yard
Maxey run, followed by a
two-point conversion pass
from Nichols to Randy
Lantz. With the game in
hand SGHS turned to the
victory formation and
earned the 57-34 win.
The Rebels offense was
led by Jacob White with
185 yards and four touchdowns on 16 carries, and
Ethan Spurlock with 134
yards and two touchdowns
on 18 attempts. Geiger
had 93 yards on two carries, Johnny Sheets ran
twice for 23 yards, Landon
Hutchinson had 12 carries for four yards, Devin
Lucas had three yards on
one carry, while Dakota
Wroten had four carries for
one yard.
Landon Hutchinson was
2-of-6 passing for 85 yards
and a touchdown. Kane
Hutchinson had one catch

for 43 yards, while Spurlock had one grab for 42
yards and a score.
The Lancers were led by
Crum on the ground with
85 carries for 11 yards and
a score, while Nichols was
14-of-21 passing for 205
yards and two touchdowns.
Maxey led all receivers with
96 yards on five catches
with two scores.
South Gallia held a 17-to6 advantage in first downs in
the game but was penalized
seven times for 73 yards,
whereas Federal Hocking
was setback twice for 20
yards. Both teams fumbled
four times, FHHS lost two,
while SGHS lost three.
The home team has now
won this series each of the
last three games. This is the
most points scored by a Rebels team since posting 62 in
a 2011 victory over Belpre.
The 91 combined points is
the most in a South Gallia
game since losing to Buffalo
61-35 in 2002.
The Rebels will hit the
road next week to face Belpre; the Golden Eagles defeated Eastern 35-6 Friday
night in Tuppers Plains.
Federal Hocking will
travel to Wahama next
week; the White Falcons
defeated Southern 28-14

Belpre tops Eagles on homecoming, 35-6
Sarah Hawley

shawley@civitasmedia.com

TUPPERS
PLAINS,
Ohio — A nearly 15 minute blackout in half of East
Shade River Stadium on
Friday evening could not
help spark the Eastern
Eagle offense, as Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division guest Belpre cruised
to a 35-6 victory.
Early in the third quarter
of play, the stadium lights
on the home side of the stadium went dark, resulting
in the stoppage of play until
the lighting was restored.
As Eastern (2-4, 2-3 TVC
Hocking)trailed 21-6 at that
point, things did not improve for the home team as
it celebrated Homecoming.
Belpre (2-4, 1-3) took the
early lead on the first possession of the game, scoring on a one yard run by
Manny Tullius. Jaime Barrett added the extra point
kick to give Belpre the 7-0
lead just three and a half
Alex Hawley | Sunday Times-Sentinel minutes into the game.
After Eastern fumbled on

with 5:19 remaining in the
first quarter. Dejon Bedgood
scored on a 20 yard pass

from Tavian Miller. The extra point kick was no good,
making the score 13-0.
Eastern drove into Belpre
territory on the next possession, but was forced to punt
on a fourth down and six to
go at the Belpre 35 yard line.
Belpre once again found
the end zone on the resulting possession, with Tullius
completing the option pass
play to Bedgood for the 40
yard score. Tullius added the
two point conversion run to
make the score 21-0 with 7:11
remaining in the first half.
Eastern began the next
drive on their own 35 yard
line, but quickly moved to
Belpre territory on a 27
yard pass from Dylan Bresciani to Zack Scowden. The
hosts would score their
only points of the game
on a one yard run by Zach
Browning with 2:37 on the
clock in the second quarter.
The two teams exchanged punts to close out
the first half.
Eastern received two, five
yard delay of game penalties
to begin the second half as
the team was late returning
to the field from the locker
room. The penalties resulted in Belpre kicking off from
midfield and the ball reach-

ing the end zone. Eastern
began the drive at their own
20 yard line. After moving
the ball just five yards over
the next three plays, Eastern
lined up to punt , but instead
ran the ball, coming up one
yard short of the first down.
As Belpre lined up for its
resulting possession, the
lights on the home side of
the field went out resulting
in the temporary stoppage
of play. Once lighting was
restored, Belpre wasted
little time reaching the end
zone on an eight yard run
by Tullius. Despite a five
yard penalty moving the extra point attempt back five
yards, Barrett sent the kick
through the uprights. Belpre would maintain the 28-6
lead into the fourth quarter.
Eastern would run just two
offensive plays in the final
quarter of play. After Belpre
was forced to punt early in
the fourth quarter, Eastern’s
second play of the resulting
drive was a fumble which was
recovered by Belpre.
Belpre took more than
five minutes off the clock ,
scoring on a 21 yard run by
Bedgood. Barrett added the
extra point to give Belpre
the 35-6 lead.
A fumble recovery by Bel-

pre on the kickoff gave the
visitors the ball back with
4:14 remaining on the clock.
Belpre was able to run the
clock out without returning
the ball to Eastern.
Eastern was led offensively by Browning with 26
yards on seven carries and
Scowden with six carries for
21 yards. As a team, Eastern
had 29 carries for 54 yards.
Dylan Brescini led the
hosts in passing with four
completions on eight attempts resulting in 87 yards.
Daschle Facemyer had two
catches for 35 yards while
Scowden (27 yards) and
Browning (25 yards) each
had one catch.
Offensively, Belpre was
lead by Tullius with 81
yards on 23 carries, nine
yards receiving and 40
yards passing. Tullius was
also responsible for three
of Belpre’s touchdowns.
Bedgood was also involved
in three scoring plays, adding 39 yards rushing and
64 yards receiving. Miller
lead the Golden Ealges in
passing with five completions for 58 yards.
Eastern travels to Trimble next week, while Belpre
hosts South Gallia.

MASON, W.Va. — The Wahama
volleyball team got better as the
night progressed, but visiting Eastern still proved to be too much to
handle Thursday night following
a 25-5, 25-16, 25-20 decision in a
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Mason County.
The Lady Eagles (17-2, 12-1
TVC Hocking) trailed only once
in the entire match, which came at
1-0 early in Game 3. EHS cruised
to a 2-0 match lead before the host
Lady Falcons kept things interesting down the stretch.
The victory, however, allowed

Eastern to claim its fifth straight
win and a season sweep of WHS.
The Lady Eagles defeated Wahama
by a 25-6, 25-8, 25-15 margin back
on September 12 in Tuppers Plains.
Jordan Parker led the EHS
service attack with 14 points, followed by Katie Keller and Maddie Rigsby with 11 service points
apiece. Parker and Rigsby each
recorded five aces, while Keller
contributed three aces.
Kelsey Johnson added 10
points and four aces to the winning cause, while Kaitlyn Barber
chipped in three points. Erin
Swatzel and Lindsay Wolfe each
scored two points, with Wolfe
adding one ace to the win.

Parker led the Eastern net attack with 10 kills, followed by
Rigsby with six kills and Swatzel
with five kills. That trio also added a block apiece in the triumph,
while Keller and Johnson each
chipped in two kills.
Wolfe led the offense with 20
assists and Paige Cline paced the
defense with 19 digs.
Rebecca Roach led the WHS
service attack with seven points,
followed by Olivia Hill with six
points and Sierra Carmichael
with three points. Bunni Peters
was next with two points, while
the trio of Kylie Oliver, Emily
Casto and Victoria Allensworth
chipped in a point apiece.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
So much for gracious guests.
The Crosslanes Christian
soccer team routed Ohio
Valley Christian to the tune
of 8-2, Thursday night in
the Old French City.
The Warriors (13-2) got
on the board in the third min-

ute off the foot of Ian George,
but the Defenders (5-6-1)
answered back with a score
of their own in the fourth
minute when T.G. Miller hit
from long distance.
The final 35 minute of
the first half belonged to
Crosslanes Christian with a
goal from Brent Purdich in
the 13th minute, a goal from
Kyle Davis in the 27 minute

and goals from Tyler Corbin
in the 20th and 28th minutes.
Davis earned his hat trick
with a goal in the 42nd minute and a goal in the 51st
minute. Miller marked his
second goal of the in the
66th minute on an assist
from Caleb Burnett to cut
the CLCS lead to 7-2 but
just one minute later Corbin
scored his hat trick goal.

The score remained the
same and OVCS fell 8-2.
Crosslanes
Christian
held a 25-to-8 advantage in
shots and a 7-to-1 advantage corner kicks.
Marshall Hood and Micah
Sanders each had six saves
for Ohio Valley Christian,
while Matthew Cooper had
five and Aaron Nolan had
one for Crosslanes Christian.

Southern
From Page B1
on downs and the White Falcons
made the most of the Tornadoes inability to put the football into the end
zone as Wahama drove 80 yards in 11
plays for a score.
A fake punt and 26 yard run by
Kane Roush, his longest of the evening was the big play of the series
with Neal going the final four yards
for the score. Roush hauled in a pass
from Bradley for the two-point conversion to give the Mason County
team a 20-7 edge at the half.
Southern embarked on another
long drive on its first offensive possession of the second half. The host
team started on its own 15 and behind the running of Barton moved
deep into Wahama territory. Once
again the drive stalled at the Falcon
15 and Southern was forced to come
away empty-handed once again.
Wahama added to its lead midway
through the final quarter after Brent

Larck recovered a Tornadoe fumble
at the WHS 33. A steady diet of Neal
through the middle and a 20 yard
scamper by Bradley set up Neal’s
fourth score of the day with a two
yard burst. Zuspan grabbed the point
after aerial from Bradley to make it a
28-7 affair with 6:21 left in the game.
Southern added its final points of
the outing during its final possession
by riding the passing arm of Tristen
Wolfe to go 78 yards in 11 plays.
Wolfe connected on five completions during the series for 58 yards
before going the final five yards on
the ground himself to reach the end
zone. Deem again added the point after o make the final tally 28-14.
Colton Neal led all ground gainers in the contest with 94 yards in
17 carries in addition to owning
a pass reception for 12 yards and
scoring four touchdowns. Kane
Roush ran for 88 yards in 13 tries in
addition to completing one pass for

32 yards. Hunter Bradley ran for 43
yards in 12 attempts while completing two of four passes for 59 yards.
Bradley also tossed two successful
PAT’s to Roush and Wyatt Zuspan.
Brandon Stewart caught one pass
for 47 yards while Zuspan had one
reception for 32 yards.
Tyler Barton led Southern with
82 yards in 17 carries with Wolfe
grounding out 37 yards in six tires
and Billingsley gaining 18 yards in
six carries. Wolfe completed seven of
20 aerials for 66 yards with one of his
passes being picked off. Hunter Johnson caught four passes for 24 yards
while Tom Ramthun had one catch
for 23 yards, Colten Walters one for
10 yards and Dennis Teaford one for
nine yards.
Both teams jump back into the
TVC, Hocking Division picture next
week with Wahama hosting Federal
Hocking in a homecoming tilt while
Southern travels to Miller.

Panthers
From Page B1
before the break.
Chesapeake owned a 15-5 lead
in first downs at the intermission and claimed a sizable 239126 edge in total offensive yards,
which included a hefty 167-11
cushion in the rushing yards.
The Raiders needed just four
plays to go from their 35 to the
Panthers’ 10-yard line, but the
hosts managed only two yards
over the next three plays —
setting up a critical fourth-andgoal at the eight.
Hardway connected with Kirk
Morrow on an 8-yard scoring
pass, capping a 7-play, 65-yard
scoring drive at the 10:04 mark
for a 21-14 deficit.
River Valley forced CHS to

punt on its next possession,
then the hosts put together
an impressive 20-play, 75-yard
drive that ended in a loss of
downs at the Chesapeake 1-yard
line. That drive ended with no
points to show after having a
first-and-goal at the one.
On the Panthers’ ensuing snap,
however, RVHS tackled Meadows in the end zone — resulting
in a safety with 39 seconds left
in the third and a 21-16 contest.
Chesapeake put the nail in the
coffin 2:07 left in the game, as
Andrew Saunders hauled in an
8-yard scoring pass from Oldaker
to cap a 9-play, 48-yard drive that
made it a 28-16 contest.
RVHS responded with a 36yard pass play on its next posses-

sion to set up a first-and-goal at
the four, but the hosts were unsuccessful in gaining any ground
over its next four plays.
CHS took three kneel downs
to run out the final 1:27 of
regulation, securing its first victory of the 2013 campaign in
the process. It also improved
Chesapeake’s alltime OVC record
against the Raiders to 12-0.
The Panthers finished the night
with 223 rushing yards on 223 carries, while the hosts had 58 yards
on 23 rushing attempts. The guests
also ended the evening with a 1915 edge in first downs and had the
only turnover in the contest.
River Valley was penalized
six times for 52 yards, while
the Panthers were flagged nine

times for 55 yards.
Justin Arrowood led RVHS
with 60 rushing yards on 14
attempts, followed by Austin
Bradley with 15 yards on one
carry and Kirk Morrow with
two yards on one tote.
Dayton Hardway finished the
night 15-of-38 passing for 257
yards, which included zero interceptions and two touchdowns.
Hardway also had seven rushes
for negative 19 yards.
Morrow led the wideouts
with nine catches for 107 yards,
followed by Dustin Bickers
with 57 yards on three grabs.
Austin Bradley had one catch
for 79 yards, while Mark Wray
and Justin Arrowood each had
a catch for 11 yards and three

yards respectively.
Chad Meadows led the CHS
ground game with 22 carries
for 117 yards, followed by Maccoy Brown with 61 yards on 17
tries. Austin Oldaker was 4-of-4
passing for 80 yards, including a
TD pass and zero interceptions.
Andrew Saunders led the guests
with two catches for 38 yards.
Senior Morgan Greenlee was
named the 2013 RVHS Homecoming Queen during a halftime
ceremony. The Raiders last won
a Homecoming contest in 2007
after beating Alexander by a 29-7
count in Cheshire.
River Valley returns to action
Friday when it welcomes Coal
Grove for its Senior Night home
finale at 7:30 p.m.

18th annual trail ride benefits St. Jude
Story and Photos by Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com

RUTLAND — The 18th annual St. Jude Trail Ride held
recently at the Dill Farm raised nearly $20,00 for St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital.
Despite being rained out on the original date, many
participants returned for the second weekend of festivities to support the cause.
A total of 226 people registered to either ride or assist
with the ride, raising $19,289, as of Wednesday. Participants are still able to turn in money so that total is likely
to increase in the coming weeks.
In addition to the ride, fundraising events at the
trail ride included 17 raffle items and a 50/50 drawing. Participants also had the chance to win one of
131 door prizes given away.
One new addition to the trail ride this year was a DJ on
the Friday evening prior to the original event date. The
DJ, sponsored by the Ohio Horse Council Meigs Chapter, A banner near the sign in area shows photos from past trail rides.
provided an evening of entertainment for those camping
at the Dill Farm.
Last year, 353 riders collected $23,129.76 for St. Jude.
With the money raised to date this year, the total collected is $188,160.01.
The Saddle Up for St. Jude trail ride at the Dill Farm
near Rutland has become an annual tradition, drawing
participants from around the region.
Isabel Dill said in the past, riders have come to the
event from several neighboring counties — some camping for the entire weekend.
The Dill’s neighbors also open up their property to allow the trail ride to criss-cross the hillsides of Rutland
Township. The event takes a lot of planning and hard
work but Isabel says it’s worth it, adding that her husband
always says if it helps just one kid, that’s all that matters.
The ride travels for 10 miles through scenic Rutland
Township. Halfway through, the ride organizers provide
an intermission and refreshments. There is no charge to
participate in the 10-mile ride, though donations to St.
Jude are welcome.
The family plans to continue with the event next year.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures
and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic
diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer
center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn.,
St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and
See TRAIL | C2 Riders saddle up their horses just before the trail ride.

Riders prepare to begin the annual event.

A memory wall honors those who have passed who have taken part in the trail ride over the
years.

Volunteers chop wood for the fire which was used to cook some of the food for after the ride.

Prior to the trail ride, particiapnts took time to sign up for raffles and door prizes.

Riders head to the starting point of the 18th annual trail ride.

Cowboy hats or riding helmets, no matter the attire, riders turned out to support the cause.

‘Hobbit’ trilogy costs $561M so far
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) —
Making the movie trilogy “The Hobbit” has
cost more than half a billion dollars so far,
double the amount spent on the three movies in the “The Lord of the Rings” series.
That figure includes the major 266 days
of filming with actors that was completed
last year, although it doesn’t include an
additional two months or so of “pick-up”
shoots done this year. There will likely
also be additional post-production costs
as the next two movies are completed.
Through March 31, production had cost
676 million New Zealand dollars, or $561
million at current exchange rates, according
to financial documents filed Friday in New
Zealand, where the movies are being made.
Distributor Warner Bros. and director
Peter Jackson may consider it money well
spent. To date, only the first movie in the

latest trilogy has been released. “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” took in just
over $1 billion at the box office.
The documents, filed online by New
Zealand’s Companies Office, provide a rare
insight into the exact costs of a blockbuster
Hollywood production. Often studios release only rough estimates, if anything.
When making the trilogy, Warner Bros.
created a wholly-owned New Zealand
company it named “3 Foot 7 Ltd,” in reference to the diminutive stature of the movie’s hobbits and dwarves. Company documents show that New Zealand taxpayers
have so far contributed NZ$98 million to
the trilogy through an incentive scheme
designed to attract big budget movies to
the country. Such schemes are common
among U.S. states and foreign countries
that compete for movies.

mind that you can’t force them to think
as you would like them to. You still
can be involved, but you might not be
the dominant player that you typically
are. Fun opportunities will open up in
response to this change. Tonight: Let
the party begin.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You believe that a lot can happen and be established if you encourage a free exchange of ideas and let
everything happen as it needs to. By
releasing your need for control, you’ll
allow more creativity. You might want
to sit on a problem for now. Tonight:
Get some exercise.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Your playful side emerges
when dealing with others. Remember,
not everyone feels as carefree as you
do. Though you might be tuned in to
your feelings, it is important to examine
what is going on with those around
you. Tonight: Funnel your playfulness
into a fun happening.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Tension seems to build at
the slightest setback. You even might
decide to stay home and work from
there, if possible. You could be offkilter until you hear from a loved one or
a child. Focus on your foundations and
try to remain centered. Tonight: Plan a
get-together with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You will want to understand
what is happening with a close associate, neighbor or relative. Instead of
playing the guessing game, make the
call. This person simply might not want
to talk; however, should you get a
response, be sure not to push. Tonight:
Stay open-minded.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Do not allow your more possessive side to take over. How you see
a money matter might be a lot different from how someone else sees the
same situation. Try not to get involved
if your views are too different. You
have a unique style of communicating.
Tonight: Call a close friend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Pull back and distance yourself from a trying matter. You will see
life from a totally different perspective
as a result. You also might feel much
more together than you have in a very
long time. You have no need to get
involved in an argument right now.
Tonight: All smiles.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might want to revisit a
personal matter. Discussions need to
be caring and not forced too much in
someone else’s face. You have witnessed this problem build up, and you
might want to make a suggestion. In
this case, however, the less said the
better. Tonight: Opt for some rest.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Zero in on your priorities
quickly and efficiently. You know what
is reasonable and what needs to occur
in order to expand and head in a new
direction. You seem so much more
contained and pleased than you have
in the recent past. Tonight: Catch up
on a friend’s news.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
As nice as you might want to
be with someone, you could find that
you have a problem. Understand what
is happening within your immediate
circle, but also recognize the need for
leadership. Are you ready to step up to
the plate? Tonight: Get together with
a friend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You see and understand
some of the miscommunications that
are occurring. Your detachment permits this perspective. If you decide to
help, you could lose this objectivity. Be
caring no matter which way you decide
to go. Tonight: Relax and choose a
favorite pastime.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The digital domain is creeping off our desktops and onto our bodies, from music
players that match your tunes to your heart beat, to mood
sweaters that change color depending on your emotional
state — blue for calm, red for angry. There are vacuum
shoes that clean the floor while you walk and fitness bracelets, anklets and necklaces to track your calorie burning.
“Everyone agrees the race is just beginning, and I think
we’re going to see some very, very big leaps in just the
next year,” said tech entrepreneur Manish Chandra at a
wearable technology conference and fashion show in San
Francisco Monday that was buzzing with hundreds of developers, engineers and designers.
Wearable technologies have long been a sideshow to
mainstream laptop and smartphones, but this year Google’s
glasses and rumors of Apple’s iWatch are popularizing the
field. Analysts forecast swift growth. Last year the market
for wearable technology — encompassing everything from
hearing aids to wristband pedometers — totaled almost $9
billion. That should climb to $30 billion by 2018, said analyst Shane Walker at IHS Global Insights.
Humans have been wearing technology for centuries,
from strapped-on compasses to pocket watches. The current surging industry is centered in the Silicon Valley and
San Francisco Bay area, where mostly smaller startups design their products locally and have them manufactured in
Asia to take advantage of cheap labor. Monday’s conference was one of several focusing exclusively on wearable
technology in recent years.
As wearable technologies proliferate, humans will need to
adapt, said Georgia Tech professor Thad Starner. He advises
Google on its glasses, which are lightweight frames equipped
with a hidden camera and tiny display that responds to voice
commands. Starner has worn his for several years.
“We’re talking about paradigm changing devices,” said
Starner. “Capabilities that people haven’t thought of before.”
He said that, unlike computers and tablets that people
engage with, wearable computers are designed to be in
the background, secondary to the wearer’s attention.
“It seems like a paradox, but when you pull the technology closer to your body, there’s a seamless interaction, it’s
more an extension of yourself,” he said.
But there are sure to be cultural and social issues. Google
Glass — and some emerging competitors — have raised
concerns of people who don’t want to be surreptitiously
videoed or photographed. And what about interacting?
At Monday’s conference, attendees slipped on monitors that measured their heart rates and temperatures to
reflect whether they really were enjoying a movie, and
shot photos through their Google Glasses of Vibease, the
world’s first wearable vibrator controlled by smartphones,
promising long distance intimacy.
“Do you really want a touch screen on the front of
your t-shirt? Is it socially acceptable to be poked all
over your body for somebody to use your wearable
computer?” asked Geneviève Dion, who directs a fashion and technology lab at Drexel University.

POMEROY — A cookout was held on Sunday, Sept, 22,
to celebrate the birthdays of Zoey and Brook Oiler.
Hotdogs and a birthday cake were enjoyed by the family and
friends attending, after which they roasted marshmallows.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Stop at a cafe in the remote
stretches of northern Arizona and southern Utah in the
fall, and you’re likely to hear a mix of languages as tourists from around the world step into the iconic western
landscape, marked by breathtaking canyons and massive
rock formations.
Millions of visitors tour the region each year for what
can be once-in-a-lifetime vacations.
Those visitors didn’t stop with the government shutdown, which forced officials to close down roads, campgrounds and tourist centers at national parks dotting the
landscape.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has offered to use state money
to keep the Grand Canyon open, and several businesses
made similar pledges — all of which have been politely
rejected by the national park.
The impact isn’t just ruining vacations. It also has
brought local economies to a near standstill.
THUMBS DOWN
Outside Yellowstone’s north entrance, two men on a
bus with Indian and Chinese passengers frown and give
the thumbs down sign after seeing the park is shut down.
A family of Japanese tourists leaves the Grand Canyon in
tears. An English couple and a Belgium couple touring national parks out West settles for a drive around Yosemite
without being able to put their feet on the ground.
“Looks as though both sides are having a bit of a childish tantrum,” says Englishman Neil Stanton.
Songyi Cho, on a separate trip to Yosemite, says: “This
is crazy. How can a whole government shut down?”
While some international tourists kept tabs on American politics in the days before they ventured to national
parks, others were blindsided.
Alan Platt and his wife, Leana, first heard about a possible shutdown while at the Grand Canyon on Monday.
Platt guessed that lawmakers would be pushed to the
brink but pass a budget by the deadline. He was wrong,
and the couple was forced to cut their three-day Grand
Canyon stay short.
“For the rest of the world, we’re concerned about the
fact you have partisan positioning going on,” he says. “No
matter who’s in power, there’s a national pride in engagement we saw. Suddenly, we see a great divide.”
ICONS FROM A DISTANCE
Some of the country’s most recognizable icons can be
viewed from a distance — the full faces of Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, the granite formations in Yosemite,
the Grand Canyon and Mount Rainier. No one needs
to tell tourists that it’s not the same as camping on the
beaches of the Grand Canyon off the Colorado River,
walking the slot canyons at Zion or watching water spew
at Old Faithful in Yellowstone.
“There’s no question it’s disappointing,” says Bruce
Brossman of the Grand Canyon Railway, which has furloughed conductors and engineers who run trains into the
canyon. “You can get a sneak peak and maybe get inspired
to come back.”
Returning to the national parks might be easier said
than done, particularly for international tourists who often plan expensive and lengthy vacations.
SALVAGING TRIPS
Jock Holland, of Melbourne, Australia, is among those
forced to make alternate plans. He was heading to Grand
Teton from Yellowstone when he was stopped by the park
closure. He planned to chart a new course after grabbing
a bite to eat in Jackson, Wyo.
The Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau outside the national park helped Stanton and his wife, Clare, set up horseback rides and hikes outside. He says Yosemite has “been
somewhat on our bucket list for years, and you get here
and you can’t get to it. A bit frustrating but we still made
the most of it.”
Julie Jaeger and her friend are leaving California on Friday for what would have been a trip to Zion, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, Canyonlands and
Mesa Verde national parks. They’ve renamed their vacation the “magical mystery tour,” as they search for state
parks and interesting towns to visit along the way. They
still hope the federal government resumes operations and
they can salvage part of their original itinerary.

Social media
fuel dangerous
weight-loss goal
BALLWIN, Mo. (AP) — Experts in eating disorders are concerned about an Internet-fueled
trend in which teenage girls and young women
pursue an elusive and possibly dangerous weightloss goal: to become so slender that their thighs
don’t touch even when their feet are together.
Specialists say achieving a so-called thigh gap
is risky and virtually impossible. But some exceptionally thin models have the gap, which is upheld
as a beauty achievement on countless Tumblr pages, blogs and other social media sites.
“The issue of focusing on a particular body part
is very common,” said Claire Mysko, who oversees
teen outreach and digital media for the National
Eating Disorders Association, an advocacy group.
“What is new is these things have taken on a life of
their own because of the Internet and social media.”
When the vast majority of people stand with their
feet together, their thighs touch. A tiny percentage
of people have thighs so slim that they don’t come
together. The “thigh gap” refers to this space.
Studies suggest that peer pressure from social
media plays a significant role in eating disorders.
A 2011 study at the University of Haifa found that
adolescent girls who spent the most time using
Facebook had a greater chance of developing a
negative body image and an eating disorder.
“The intrusion and presence of social media in
our lives really does make it very difficult,” said
Nancy Albus, chief executive officer of Castlewood
Treatment Center, a suburban St. Louis facility
that focuses on eating disorders. “The important
distinction about thigh gap is it gives you an actual
visual to achieve, this visual comparison of how
your body does or doesn’t stack up.”
Dr. Vonda Wright, a Pittsburgh-based orthopedic surgeon and fitness expert, said the spacing between a person’s legs is based mostly on genetics.
And even extraordinarily thin people may not have
a body type that can achieve a gap. You have to be
both skinny and wide-hipped, she said.
Besides, Wright said, it isn’t a goal worth chasing. Most fit people won’t have a thigh gap because
their thighs are muscular enough that they touch,
she said.
“Skinny does not mean fit or muscular,” said
Wright, who works with Division I athletes. “I
cannot think of one athlete I deal with” who has
a thigh gap.
Experts say it is impossible to know if the pursuit of a thigh gap has caused any deaths, nor is it
known how many eating disorders are blamed on
the phenomenon. But Mysko said experts believe
that “exposure to online images of extreme beauty
standards and the drive to compare does increase
the risk of developing eating disorders.”
Sara, a 22-year-old Castlewood client, said
thigh-gap sites were a contributing factor in her
struggle. She spoke on the condition that she be
identified only by her first name to avoid the stigma associated with eating disorders.
Always a high achiever, Sara was captain of
her high school swim team in Minnesota and a
straight-A student. In college, she graduated near
the top of her class, even while hiding her secret.
It was in high school that Sara developed anorexia. By college, she was purging and excessively exercising. She was a frequent visitor to
thigh-gap sites.
“It helped to normalize what I was doing to myself,” Sara said. “I never knew before that I wanted
a thigh gap. It felt like it was some type of accomplishment that people would want to achieve.”
The sites offered photos of slender-legged models,
testimonials on how to achieve the gap and tips such
as chewing food but spitting it out before swallowing.
Grotesquely, some of the sites showed pictures
of Holocaust victims “for motivational purposes”
or martyred those who died from eating disorders.
It seemed to make her own struggle OK, Sara said.
“I would say, ‘Well, I’m not that bad.’”
