Forbes, 53 Cecelia Hart, 93 Elizabeth Milton Harold Smith, 68 Donna Tomblin, 63 Dallas Wright, 71 $2.00 Corfias sentenced to three years in prison Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man who was acquitted of murder early this year by a jury was recently sentenced in the Court of Common Pleas of Gallia County in an unrelated felony case to a total of three years of incarceration. Semaki G. Corfias, 53, Gallipolis, was sentenced on December 17 before Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans to 36 months of imprisonment in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, as well as 24 months of community control after he pleaded guilty in late October to a third-degree felony meth-related charge and a fifth-degree Corfias felony charge of obstructing official business. Both charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on September 8, 2012. The defendant, who was found not guilty by a jury in April of the alleged murder of Thomas Marr, which occurred in February 2012, was indicted in a separate case on September 13, 2012, of manufacturing methamphetamine. Deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office reportedly responded to the area last September after receiving tips that the residents of the household had been manufacturing meth. While investigating the complaint, deputies reportedly observed items commonly used during the manufacture of methamphetamine in plain view on the porch of the residence, including a flashlight containing lithium batteries, a canister of Coleman fuel and a burned down plastic bottle, all of which are commonly used in a one-pot cook of methamphetamine. According to documents filed with the court, after arriving on scene and speaking with one male subject who summoned the defendant from the residence, the deputies spoke with Corfias outside the home. After speaking with the officers, the defendant reportedly began to shout at someone in the basement from Sleighbells Ring Free holiday community event a huge success where he had just emerged, stating that law enforcement was there, and they should come out. The defendant then, reportedly, had to be restrained to prevent him from re-entering the residence. Deputies then entered the basement where they discovered a meth lab. Corfias was arrested at the scene, along with Ralph R. Kerwood, 29, and Michelle L. Atherton, 41, both of Gallipolis, who were both later indicted for the illegal manufacture of drugs in relation to this case. The defense in this case, represented by his retained counsel, attorney K. Robert Toy of Athens, later filed a motion stating that this warrantless search of the defendant’s residence was in violation of Corfias’ Fourth Amendment rights, and due to this, the defense moved that all evidence obtained in the search be suppressed. An entry filed on August 14 and signed by Judge Evans states that the warrantless search performed at 1607 Ohio 7 North, which See CORFIAS | A5 Gallia-Meigs CAA: HEAP still available Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com CHESHIRE — Assistance with payment of heating bills for eligible customers in the area served by the Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency’s HEAP program which began on Nov. 1 and continues through March 31 is still available.

POMEROY — One Meigs County teenager doesn’t let all the talk of high unemployment around the country bother him. John M. Stuart, 16, son of Doug and Brenda Stuart of Pomeroy, started his own home-based business when he was 14, offering web site building services to the public, and has since branched out to include graphic design and computer tech support services to his growing clientele. “I noticed so many small businesses around here that didn’t have any web site at all, and I read that 56 percent of consumers don’t trust a business without a web site,” observed Stuart. John M. Stuart happily displays his first pay check. “It’s sort of like not having a phone for your business— every business should have one. I like working on web sites, so I just started asking around.” See TECH | A2 �&@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Page A2 LîSunday Times Sentinel %9:@î,2==6Jî�@C642DE �2==:2î�2=6?52C Sunday: Showers and thunderstorms before noon, then a slight chance of showers between noon and 1 p.m. High near 66.

His first client in 2011 was a custom tee shirt and screen printing firm in downtown Pomeroy, TShirts Etc., which has since grown larger and moved the shop to another location. Stuart approached the owner in person to offer his help, and they quickly struck a deal. Stuart then purchased a domain name for the site, photographed the products, and designed the layout with special web authoring software. Once it was greenlighted, he launched the site to a global audience. “That was exciting,” noted Stuart. “It felt good to know that I helped someone in the local community get a bigger presence out there in the world.” While volunteering design work on a new touring poster for a national Christian rock FEEL THE DIFFERENCE gallipoliscareercollege.edu Your kindness and sympathy at this time are more appreciated than any words can ever express.

Waites liked Stuart’s work so well he decided to keep him on a retainer, paying him a regular fee to this day to host and maintain his sites. Stuart later went on to design web sites and custom Facebook pages for his local Boy Scout Troop 299, his Bethel Worship Center “Revolution” church youth group under the direction of youth pastor Kris Butcher, and an Ohio full service marketing and media research firm, Triune Research & Marketing, among others.

Doing business as his own sole proprietorship, JMS Designs (a.k.a. Stuart Digital), Stuart says he offers cutting edge web site design at very reasonable prices, which includes a mobile version for display on smartphones, a feature he claims is a necessity, with so many people accessing the internet through their cell phones. He cited a supporting statistic that “60 percent of consumers are frustrated by sites that don’t work well on phones and tablets” (weebly.com, 2013). He notes that he can do simple, inexpensive, one-page “billboard” designs if clients just want an internet presence with their contact info, or more complex designs with multiple pages and features. Stuart said he also does ongoing web site maintenance for clients wanting to keep content fresh, as well as domain name acquisition, site hosting, and technical support. He revealed that his business was also recently hired under contract to provide part-time support and design services for a local computer and networking services firm. Stuart mentioned that he has a new startup in the works, StuartDigital.net, where he has combined his services and is developing new ones. In addition to his business work, Stuart regularly participates in church youth group activities, and volunteers his time doing media and sound work for churches and bands, and providing labor for the Boy Scouts of America through his membership in Order of the Arrow, a national Boy Scouts of America honor fraternity. As a paid employee of Huntington, WV-based BSA Tri-State Council, Stuart has taught fellow scouts Computers and other merit badge courses at summer camps the past two years. He’s also now a Life Scout working toward the final Eagle rank, which he plans to complete in 2014. Attending Ohio Connections Academy, an online public high school with several thousand students enrolled across the state, allows Stuart to stay at home for school with live lessons over the internet. While largely self-taught on computers, at school he’s taken a number of computer-related courses like digital art and photography, web design and Microsoft Office, and hopes to attend college after graduation.

NELSONVILLE — AT&T has invested $25,000 in the education of Appalachian Ohio youth through the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. Through a grant to the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, AT&T’s support will fund post-secondary scholarships across the 32-county region which includes both Meigs and Gallia Counties, and send high school students to leadership camp this coming summer. “AT&T’s investment in scholarships for our region’s students speaks to the importance AT&T places on education,” said Cara Dingus Brook, president and CEO for the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. “FAO is pleased to have AT&T as a partner in making sure the region’s students have access to the educational opportunities necessary for success.” To celebrate AT&T’s investments, B.J. Smith, Director of External Affairs at AT&T, presented Cara Dingus Brook and FAO Board Chair Joy Padgett with the $25,000 check at the Foundation’s annual Child of Appalachia® Celebration at Muskingum University. Submitted photo State Representative Brian Hill and State Senator Troy Balderson join AT&T’s B.J. Smith and the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio’s Cara Dingus Brook and Joy Padgett in celebrating AT&T’s $25,000 grant to the Foundation. “There is no greater investment that any organization can make than in the education of Ohio’s future leaders,” said State Senator Troy Balderson. “The work of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is to be commended, as it keeps our youth on track to graduate high school and prepares them to succeed in college and the workforce.” AT&T’s funding will support the Wayne White and Bob Evans Legacy Scholarship Fund. Established to honor both men’s tremendous contributions to encouraging continued academic endeavors after high school, the Fund provides scholarships to students pursing post-secondary studies throughout the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio. White and Evans were committed to ensuring finances were not a barrier to the ability of the region’s youth to access post-secondary opportunities. The WhiteEvans Scholarship serves to help all students realize they can pursue post-secondary education, regardless of financial situation. State Representative Brian Hill knows the importance of this program. He says “Appalachian Ohio will benefit from these students who will become educated and independent learners with powerful problem-solving skills. They will help build a stronger workforce that will aid the economic growth of our great state.” Additionally, the grant will support students in gaining the leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills they need to be successful. Through support to the Foundation’s iBELIEVE Foundation Fund, scholarship support will enable high school student participation in the Ohio Association of Student Councils (OASC) summer leadership camp. Participating in this camp enables students to gain the necessary soft skills and leadership training critical to current and future success. “Investing in education is one of the most powerful ways AT&T can support our students’ future, said B.J. Smith, Director, External Affairs, AT&T. We are proud to help students pursue their educational dreams through our partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio.” For more information about the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio and the scholarships supported by AT&T, please visit www.appalachianohio.org. �2C>6CDî�2?<î@R6Cî4C65:EîD4@C6îD6>:?2C POMEROY — At the beginning of the year, Farmers Bank launched Banking On U, a program designed to help break down the banking barrier and help the public better understand their finances.

I am also proud to deliver financial literacy education in Meigs County and across the state, focused on helping students and veterans make smart money choices. Over the course of a child’s education, parents and teachers work hard to help students gain proficiency in subjects they will need to be successful later in life like reading, writing and arithmetic. Unfortunately, basic financial skills including managing a budget, balancing a checkbook and building a savings reserve are often overlooked. According to one recent study conducted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, 58 percent of Ohioans reported not having enough rainy day savings to cover three months of unanticipated financial emergencies. Additionally, The Wall Street Journal estimates that 70 percent of the college class of 2013 is graduating with college-related debt averaging $35,200. In an effort to address this issue head on, the state legislature passed Senate Bill 311 in 2007, which requires public and chartered non-public high school students to receive financial education as a graduation requirement beginning with the graduating class of 2014. The new financial literacy stipulation doesn’t mandate specific courses or curriculum, but instead gives flexibility to teachers and schools. After countless meetings with school superintendents, curriculum directors, and teachers throughout Ohio, my office recently launched the Financial EDge program to help deliver financial literacy education to Ohio students. Financial EDge leverages technology, engages non-profit organizations, and cultivates public-private partnerships to connect educators with helpful and in- “Teachers are now able to incorporate basic financial fundamentals into their lesson plans, such as how to balance household budgets, avoid high-interest credit cards and maintain a savings account for a rainy day.

Our office and partners like EVERFI (a leading financial literacy technology company) and NEFE (the National Endowment for Financial Education) have provided financial literacy materials to educators at Meigs High School. Also working to help make these collaborations possible are local banks such as Famers Bank & Savings Co. These types of partnerships are critical to furthering the ultimate goal of increasing financial literacy across Ohio. Teachers are now able to incorporate basic financial fundamentals into their lesson plans, such as how to balance household budgets, avoid high-interest credit cards and maintain a savings account for a rainy day. They can also help students assess the true cost of a college education and evaluate the nuts and bolts of how to track and maintain a good credit score.

Savers may earn a few more dollars on CDs and Treasurys. Banks could profit. Investors may get squeezed. The Federal Reserve’s move Wednesday to slow its stimulus will ripple through the global economy. But exactly how it will affect people and businesses depends on who you are. The drop in the Fed’s monthly bond purchases from $85 billion to $75 billion is expected to lead to higher long-term borrowing rates. Which means loan rates could tick up, though no one knows by how much. The move could also weigh on stock markets from the United States to Asia, even though the early response from investors was surprisingly positive. Just keep in mind: The impact of the Fed’s action is hard to predict. It will be blunted by these factors: — It’s a very slight reduction. Economists had expected the Fed’s monthly purchases to be cut more than they were. — Even though it will buy slightly fewer bonds, the Fed expects to keep its key shortterm rate at a record low “well past” the time unemployment dips below 6.5 percent from today’s 7 percent. Many short-term loans will remain cheap. “They have tried to sugarcoat the pill,” says Joseph Gagnon, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. — The Fed thinks the economy is finally improving consistently. An economy that can sustain its strength can withstand higher borrowing rates. All of which suggests that while Wednesday’s action marked the beginning of the end of ultra-low interest rates, the pain may not be very severe. The Fed’s bond purchases, begun in the fall of 2012, were meant to stimulate the economy. The purchases were designed to lower mortgage and other loan rates, lead investors to shift out of low-yielding bonds and into stocks and prod consumers and businesses to borrow and spend. Here’s a look at the likely effects of the Fed’s decision: CONSUMER AND BUSINESS LOANS Mortgage rates have already risen in anticipation of reduced Fed bond purchases: The average on a 30-year U.S. fixed-rate mortgage has increased a full percentage point this year to 4.47 percent. Analysts say it will likely head higher now. “Homebuyers aren’t going to be happy,” says Ellen Haberle, an economist at the online real-estate brokerage Redfin. “In the weeks ahead, mortgage rates are likely to reach or exceed 5 percent.” Still, higher mortgage rates won’t likely reverse the recovery in the housing market. As the job market strengthens and consumers grow more confident, demand for homes could more than make up for slightly higher mortgage rates. “It’s a better economy that gets people to buy houses,” says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. Likewise, an improving economy means stronger sales for businesses, even if they, 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.

And rates on auto, student and credit card loans are unlikely to change much. They’re tied more to the short-term rates the Fed is leaving alone. SAVERS Savers have suffered from the Fed’s lowinterest rate policy. Wednesday’s move could offer some relief to people who keep money in three- and four-year CDs. But it probably won’t mean a big jump from, say, the average 0.48 percent rate on 3-year CDs. “They’re starting from such a low point, it’s not going to be nearly enough to make threeand four-year CDs anywhere near compelling,” McBride says. By keeping short-term rates near zero, the Fed move does nothing for people with money in savings accounts and very shortterm CDs. BANKS Banks earn money from the difference between the short-term rates they pay depositors and the longer-term rates they charge consumers and businesses. The gap reached a five-year low in the middle of this year. But it’s likely to widen as longer-term rates rise and short-term rates stay fixed. Bank profits should rise as a result. Banks will also benefit if an improving economy leads more credit-worthy businesses and consumers to seek loans. FINANCIAL MARKETS The Fed intended its bond purchases, in part, to push bond yields so low that investors would move money into stocks, thereby driving up share prices. Since mid-November 2012, the Dow Jones industrial average has surged 28 percent. Many Wall Street analysts feared stocks would plummet once the Fed announced a pullback in its bond buying. On Wednesday, the opposite occurred: The Dow rocketed 293 points. Investors appeared to focus more on the good news (the economy is improving) than the bad (the easy-money days may be ending). The celebration might not last. “As the tapering continues, there will be less liquidity going into the stock market,” and the rally will either slow or end entirely, says Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University. Over the past year, the super-low U.S. rates had led investors to seek higher-yielding investments in emerging markets. Last summer and fall, speculation about a slowdown in the Fed’s stimulus sent stocks tumbling in the developing world. Indonesia’s market has sunk nearly 19 percent since investors began anticipating the Fed move in May. Stocks in Thailand are down 18 percent. Without Fed policy driving cash into developing markets, these stock markets might have further to fall. Mark Olson, a former Fed governor, says the central bank succeeded in convincing investors that a slight pullback in bond purchases is hardly the same as tightening interest-rate policy. The stimulus continues — through recordlow short-term rates and the continuing, though reduced, bond purchases. “And for once,” Olson says, “I think the markets read it the way the Fed had hoped.” Sunday Times Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 200 Main Street Point Pleasant, W.Va.

As it turns out, the officers discovered, upon entering the premises, there was another individual in the basement in close vicinity of an active meth lab. “The Court further finds that this warrantless search of the premises was lawful based on the facts of this matter and that exigent circumstances did exist.” A trial in this case was later continued to October 31, 2013, and, according to documents filed with the court prior to the trial date, Corfias pleaded guilty to the illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a lessor offense than manufacturing methamphetamine, as well as a charge of obstructing official business as outlined in a bill of information filed by the Gallia County Prosecutor’s Office in October.

HEAP From Page A1 an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off. She explained that Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection or have 10 days or less supply of bulk fuel. As for the amount of assistance, she said the program allows a one-time payment of up to $175 per heating season to restore or retain home heating services for AEP and Columbia Gas and up to $450 for BREC and Knox Energy. For propane and fuel oil clients, she said the payment may cover up to 200 gallons for propane/bottled gas or fuel oil, not to exceed $750; for clients heating with wood or coal assistance is up to $350. Homeowners or renters may qualify if their total household income is at or below 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines. Edwards noted that the income guidelines for both regular and emergency HEAP programs are the same. However, she said, regular HEAP requires a report on the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for emergency HEAP. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s recent electric bill is required. It is also required that applicants provide a birth certificate for the primary applicant, social security cards for all household members and proof of student ID or report card if over 18 and living in the household. You will also be asked for proof of home ownership or proof of landlord, including address and phone number, will also be asked for, she said. Edwards listed the following income levels by household size used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 175 percent calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual more than eight members should add an additional $7,035 per member to the yearly income. Both emergency HEAP and regular HEAP applications can be completed at all three offices; Gallia C.A.A.

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports South Gallia senior Ethan Spurlock (10) lays the ball in over Trimble’s Austin Spears during the Rebels 79-59 victory, Friday night in Mercerville. Rebels rock Trimble, 79-59 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — It’s never too early to get recognized around the league. The South Gallia boys basketball team improved to 3-0 in Tri-Valley conference Hocking Division play Friday night with a 79-59 victory over guest Trimble, which was making its season debut. The Rebels (4-1, 3-0 TVC Hocking) shared the ball and made it work in the opening quarter, as six different players scored en route to 23 points over the first eight minutes. Despite a dry spell of over two minutes the Tomcats (0-1, 0-1) marked 15 points in the first stanza to remain within striking distance. The Trimble defense stepped up in the second period forcing eight turnovers and holding the Red and Gold to only 10 points. The Tomcats marked 13 in the second and trailed 3328 at halftime. Following the intermission the Rebels got the three-pointer working, connecting with three triples in the third period which in turn opened up the inside. South Gallia held THS to 13 points in the third and SGHS led 54-41 with eight minutes to play. The Red and Silver had their best offensive quarter of the night in the fourth, scoring 18 points. Unfortunately for the Tomcats, South Gallia also had its best offensive period of the night in the fourth, scoring 25 and claiming the 79-59 victory. The Rebels were led by Landon Hutchinson with 19 points, followed by Brayden Greer and Ethan Swain with 18 apiece. Ethan Spurlock and Joseph Ehman each had eight points, Gus Slone and Dustin Hornsby each marked two points, while Devin Lucas and Jared Calhoun each had one point in the win. The Rebels shot 27-of57 (47.4 percent) from the field and 18-of-31 (58.1 percent) from the free throw line. SGHS pulled down 34 rebounds and had 22 turnovers in the win. Landon Hutchinson led the Rebels with eight rebounds, followed by Spurlock and Greer with seven each. The Tomcats were led by Wyatt Bragg with 18 points, followed by Jake Kish with 10. Dallas Slack, Justice Jenkins and Jacob Koons each marked six points, Konner Standley had five, while Jimmy Ward and Micah Couch both added four in the setback. Trimble shot 23-of-59 (39 percent) from the field and 7-of-10 (70 percent) from the free throw line. The Tomcats had 30 rebounds and 30 turnovers in the game. Kish led THS with six rebounds, while Couch, Slack and Jenkins each pulled down five. South Gallia was whistled for 12 fouls in the game, while Trimble was charged with 27 fouls, a bench warning and a technical foul on the coach with 27 seconds remaining. These teams will meet again on January 24, in Glouster.

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley junior Chelsea Copley, middle, releases a shot attempt as Fairland center Terra Stapleton, left, goes for the block during the second half of Thursday night’s OVC girls basketball game in Bidwell, Ohio. Lady Dragons roll past River Valley, 62-28 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — A slow start led to a tough finish for the River Valley girls basketball team Thursday night following a 62-28 setback to visiting Fairland in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Gallia County. The host Lady Raiders (3-3, 1-1 OVC) never led in the contest, as the Lady Dragons (6-1, 2-0) stormed out to a 16-0 edge five minutes into regulation and never looked back. RVHS scored its first points of the night at the 2:10 mark of the first quarter after Chelsea Copley hit a trifecta for a 16-3 deficit. Fairland ultimately finished the period on a 5-2 run to claim a 21-5 edge after eight minutes of play. River Valley went over six minutes without a point, and the Lady Dragons extended their lead out to as much as 38-5 with just under four minutes left until halftime. Two Copley free throws at the 3:26 mark allowed the hosts to end a 6:14 scoreless drought, which also sparked 6-3 run over the final three minutes of the first half — making it a 41-11 contest at the break. The Lady Raiders were never closer than 28 points the rest of the way, which came at the 4:33 mark of the fourth quarter at 54-26. FHS went on a 6-5 spurt in the third quarter for a 47-16 lead, then closed regulation with a 1512 run to wrap up the 34-point triumph. Fairland — which has now won three straight decisions — twice led by 34 points, with the first coming at the 6:23 mark of the fourth at 52-18. RVHS — which went 10-of-16 at the free throw line for 63 percent — made only eight field goals in the setback, two of which were three-pointers. Copley led the hosts with 12 points, followed by Courtney Smith with five points and Mikayla Pope with four markers. Tiana Qualls, Bailey Adkins and Leia Moore each contributed two points apiece, while Rachael Smith rounded things out with one marker. Terra Stapleton — a University of Michigan signee — and Mackenzie Riley each had 12 points over three quarters of play for Fairland, while Kelsey Riley and Chandler Fulks respectively added nine and eight markers. The Lady Dragons made 26 field goals overall, including five threes, and went 5-of-9 at the charity stripe for 56 percent. Here’s why working together just makes sense: • The residents of the Point Pleasant and surrounding areas will have enhanced access to highly-specialized medical care from Marshall Health which includes more than 60 specialties and subspecialties. • Cabell Huntington Hospital and Marshall Health will provide assistance with management and much-needed physician recruitment. • PVH and CHH will share technologies and create data-sharing capabilities, which will provide seamless access to patient records and test results for physicians in both communities. Partnering together to improve health in our community.

Farm Museum lights up Christmas Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT — There are in excess of one million Christmas lights on display at the West Virginia State Farm Museum, according to Museum Director Lloyd Akers. “I always say if someone doesn’t believe me, they’re welcome to come and count,” Akers joked. For 10 days in December for several years, the farm museum (located just north of Point Pleasant) puts on a massive display of lights across nearly 15 acres of its property for visitors and it’s all free. This is the last weekend for the display which will close for the season at 9 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 22. The museum will be open from 6-9 p.m. both this Saturday and Sunday. In addition, Santa will be in the Country Store to visit with children and free cookies, coffee and hot chocolate will be available at the Country Kitchen. The farm museum was a popular destination Friday, Dec. 20 with over 400 people visiting in the first hour the gates were open. Not counting Friday night’s attendance, Akers said around 4,000 people had already visited the museum’s Christmas light display this year alone. Volunteers at the museum start working on stringing up all those lights around October. Just 10 days of lights can run the electric bill at the complex an extra $800 to $900. This is where donations help out at the museum which doesn’t charge admission to the show but appreciations anything people want to give. Of course, it’s not about the electric bill or the constant maintenance on the lights — if this were the case, who in their right mind would bother? Akers said it’s about showing the public its appreciation for their support of the museum year round. “We appreciate everyone,” Akers said. On Friday night as the visitors poured through the gates of the complex, the lights lit up Zach and Katrinka Harris of Mason County getting married outside the replica of the Mt. Zion Church at the museum. Just a few feet away was a live nativity scene on display from members of Point Pleasant’s First Church of God. Of course, not to be forgotten was Santa Claus handing out candy canes and listening to endless Christmas lists from children. Playing the part of Santa for several years now is Steve Little of Gallia County, Ohio. Surprisingly, Little said he’s had very few bad moments as Santa except for a wet child in his lap or catching a cold from the little ones. “I love doing it,” Little said. He studied theater in Kansas and did a lot of street theater which Little explained gave him great background for playing Santa. He added, playing Santa is just a form of street theater. At Little’s side is wife Linda, a long-time teacher in Mason County who had former students of every age coming up to her for AT LEFT, the line to speak to Santa can be filled with kids of all ages at the farm museum’s Country Store.

And really, that is what the farm museum’s display is all about - providing a place for kids young and old to see Santa, or an former school teacher, or a winter wedding, or a live nativity, all under the kind and forgiving glow of Christmas lights. Visitors are free to drive through the lights or walk around to explore the complex. Pictured are members from the First Church of God doing a live nativity scene on the grounds of the farm museum Friday night.

In September of 1897, these two people had a brief conversation through their local newspaper that, at the time, went mostly unnoticed. But, not entirely unnoticed, since a few readers of the day found it worthy of saving, and they pasted it into their scrapbooks. Although the entirety of their conversation took up less than 500 words, and it’s original location was buried on the newspaper’s editorial page, crammed in the third of seven columns between a story about the value of new “chainless” bicycles and a story on how an independent candidate would serve the politics of Tammany Hall, over the next century their brief discussion would become the most reprinted newspaper article to ever run in any English language newspaper. Of course, while the names Francis Church and Virginia O’Hanion may not be generally recognized, their story – that of an 8-year-old girl writing the newspaper at the advice of her father to find out if there really is a Santa Claus – has become an annual fixture of American Christmas lore. In the years since it’s first publication, the story of a young girl’s sincere letter to the editor and it’s heartfelt response has undergone numerous transformation including a radio cantata, two animated TV specials, a made-for-television movie and a broadway musical. After the original copy of the letter had been discovered in a scrapbook after being thought long lost by O’Hanion’s descendents, one appraiser set the value of the authenticated artifact at somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000. While we are apparently able to set a price for a historical document with a meager 45 words written on it by a young girl who had been provoked by her friends to question the reality of the mythic supplier of her yule-time bounties, how do we put a price on the sentiment it evoked? Virginia O’Hanion’s letter was short and to the point; she wrote, “DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?” O’Hanion’s letter painted Francis Church (the newspaper’s reporter who had been given the job of crafting their “official” response) into the proverbial corner. The elementary schoolgirl had challenged the newspaper to give her the truth and had gambled the paper’s reputation for trustworthiness on their response. On one hand, Church had the choice of affirming Santa’s existence but risking the newspaper’s reputation as a reliable source for factual information; some journalists consider publishing anything that cannot be verified through empirical observation as a violation of a nearly-sacred ethical obligation to print the truth. On the other hand, declaring that – based upon all available evidence – Santa Claus did not exist risked losing readership to people who felt newspapers have grasping the whole no right to deciof truth and knowlmate their children’s edge.” cherished belief in a In considering his supernaturally jolly response, Church and generous giftis well aware that giver.

In this great his argument to first admit that universe of ours man is a mere they might themselves be too insect, an ant, in his intellect, stupid to see beyond their own as compared with the boundless little worlds. Instead of being world about him, as measured painted into a corner by what by the intelligence capable of could be an embarrassing ques- tion for a newspaper reporter to answer, Church begins by painting his readers into the corner of small-mindedness if they would disagree with him. Church goes on to argue that human life without the magic of romantic interpretations is doomed to the sad, unfriendliness of drab realism. Church writes, “Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.” As a writer and a reader who appreciates truth wherever we can find it, I am of two minds regarding Church’s argument. It’s hard to disagree that life without the magic of romantic whimsy is tedious and worrisome. Still, I always find arguments based upon the idea that it’s better to live with happy fantasies rather than hard truths a bit dangerous. How much reality do we need to ignore to be happy? How much fantasy must we accept before our optimism gets in the way of our future self-interests? Perhaps, the best we can strive for is to find the middle ground, as Church does when he concludes by saying that we all need a little Santa in our lives. Church writes, “No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.” The trick in believing something that is otherwise unbelievable, then, is to recognize that when our brains demand dominance over our hearts, our hearts need to resist just enough to show the brains how little it actually knows about how to live. *96î�?E:BF6î$FCD6 Take time for the holidays Winter weather, a cozy fire in the fireplace, warm spicy drinks, friends and family sitting around relaxed and enjoying the holiday — sound good? Yes, it sounds wonder- ful, but in the real work world, things are a bit different. First, to be off during the holiday is a dream that usually does not happen. Maybe a half a day on Christmas Eve or split shift on Christmas Day. Each year, we say we aren’t going to rush around buying too many gifts and regretting it for the next six months (paying them off!). I saw a program a few months ago about relaxation, keeping control and being happy. The only thing I remember about it was this: The people you love do not want a present from you that you have to spend months paying off. They want to see you moving ahead. They want you to be happy and stress free! Can we really go back to the old-fashioned idea of giving what we can afford, whether it’s home-made goodies or just some time to someone who needs us? Can we actually just sit down to a great simple meal and be happy and content to be together? What about remembering to share the Christmas story with each other and the little ones who are running about? Some planning for quietness and calmness might be the answer.
