Last Sunday morning, we had a baptizing at the church I pastor, Hope Baptist, in Middleport, Ohio. It was a memorable experience. As I descended carefully the steps into the water, I missed the last step! I hit the water with a big splash, and sank to the bottom. To make matters worse, I could not get my legs under me, so I kept going under. At last, Brother Lee, who was sitting on the front row, rushed up, and reaching over the glass, extended his hand to pull me Ron up. Branch I have been in the ministry soon to be Contributing 44 years. I have baptized people in bapcolumnist tisteries, in pools, and streams of water. But, this was the first time I ever lost my footing and fell in. Honestly, it was very embarrassing. But, it was also funny. Someone suggested that we have a certified life-guard on hand the next time we baptize. A couple said that they were willing to rate my dive as an eight or a nine. And, then there were all kinds of comments about the Preacher baptizing him self. How will I ever recover from the ignominy of that missed step and the responding fall out? After all, people like to make fun of mistakes preachers make. But, it is an actual fairly simple consideration. It will be by getting back into the baptistery again when the time comes. Just because I missed that step and embarrassed myself so much does not call for me to stop baptizing people. My mishap, however, exemplifies an important grace from God. In life, we all miss steps morally and spiritually. At some point, we spiritually stumble. We fall morally when we fail in some way certain Christian principles. When some miss steps, they never recover and continue onward, either because of the guilt or embarrassment of what they did. But, the Scripture says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.” I once read a story about two brothers who stole a flock of sheep. They were caught, put on trial, and found guilty of theft. They were both sentenced to a certain time in prison, but they were also permanently branded in their foreheads with the initials “ST,” which stood for “Sheep Thief.” The one brother was utterly devastated from what he did and the consequences of it. He eventually died in prison. However, the other was determined to re-build his life, to live a changed life, and to openly demonstrate that change. Over time, he curried a noteworthy and honorable reputation in the very town where he and his brother had committed the crime many years before. One afternoon, he was in a certain store. Someone new to the community chatted with one of the longtime residents. The newcomer asked, “What does ‘ST’ stand for in that man’s forehead?” The man paused for a moment, and then said, “I cannot quite remember what it stands for. But, I think it stands for ‘Saint.’” This quaint story merely illustrates the value of getting back up when you happen to miss a step and fall morally or spiritually. God wants you to get back up. God will help you get back up. His forgiveness will prop you back up. “He does not retain His anger forever, for He delights in mercy,” states the Scripture. “He casts our sins into the depths of the sea.” If you happen to miss your last step and fall, the plan will be to first get right with God, and in due course, things will get right with others. God blesses overcomers. One thing for sure is that the congregants at Hope Baptist will be alert and watchful the next time we baptize. What will happen to the Preacher next time? Wonder if he will do a belly flop, or double gainer from the steps to get into the water? Maybe a cannon ball! Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Commitment, not excuses! In Luke Chapter 9, verses 57-62, we read about Jesus and three men who said they wanted to become followers of Him. One day, as Jesus was walking along the road to a village with His Disciples and some others, He spoke with these three men. Each knew about Jesus and said they wanted to follow Him, but each of them also had an excuse for why they couldn’t do that right then. Jesus knew the truth in their hearts though and answered each of their excuses with God’s Kids what at first reading might seem some Korner very harsh statements. The first man told Jesus he would folAnn low Him anywhere, but Jesus realized Moody this man was not really ready to follow Him wherever He went – through both good and bad times and give up the comforts of his home and possessions. The second man wanted to wait to follow Jesus until his ailing father had passed away and been buried. Jesus knew this man was not ready to commit until he believed the time was just right for him to leave his family. The third man said he would follow Jesus after he went back to his home and said good-bye to everyone. Again, Jesus knew the third man was not ready to leave his family and friends to be fully committed to Christ. After reading the passage carefully, I think, Jesus was trying to make a couple of points to them and See EXCUSES | 5A Daily Sentinel Pure heart, pure words, pure actions be in Heaven.” Jesus taught, “Blessed Contrarily, if our hearts are the pure in heart, for are not pure, it follows that they shall see God (Matwe will not be in heaven thew 5:8).” come the final day (cf.

Thus, the colorful description Jesus gave of them, saying, “Woe Adultery is wrong, but Jesus reminded us that Lust, an inward to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitesin of the heart, was also sinful washed tombs, which outwardly (cf. Matthew 5:27-30).

It does us no good to protest that our heart is in the right place while our feet are swiftly carrying us down the wrong path. A pure heart is going to produce pure words and pure actions. Just as one cannot get salt water out of a fresh water spring, or fresh water out of the ocean, so too we can’t get righteousness out of a wicked heart, nor will wickedness come from a pure heart (cf. James 3:10-11). But there is a solution; a rather obvious solution. The Bible urges us, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded (James 4:8; ESV).” Though our hearts are sinful, God provides a means to cleanse them, and wisdom with which to fill them with things pure and good. It starts with an acknowledgment of what we have done and why we have done it, and with repentance as we draw near to God, allowing Him to wash us clean. Like the Psalmist, our constant prayer should be, “Create a clean heart in me, O God (Psalm 51:10).” If you would like to learn more about how God, in Christ, can cleanse the heart, the church of Christ invites you to worship and study with us, at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

Smith in the 19th century as he reflected upon the origins of a nation still young and fresh and still near to its roots in God’s gracious providence. Let freedom ring! May this anthem swell again in our hearts and be proclaimed upon our lips until the sweet refrain of liberty is achieved for all men and women everywhere! Is this too much to ask for every American? I think not. Is it too much to ask for any man or woman anywhere in the world?

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him” (Matt. 4:18-20 ESV). Jesus is walking by the Sea of Galilee. It’s actually a lake. And nine towns rest alongside the Sea of Galilee. It’s a time of flourishing fisheries. Fishing is a big industry. And there were three different ways to fish in those days. They could fish with a line. They could fish with a casting net. Or, they could fish with a dragnet. And in Matt. 4:18-20, Simon Peter and Andrew used a casting net. Now, the casting net was a gigantic circle. It had lead pellets around the top circumference. The fishermen would lower the net into the water and let it sink. Then, once the fish entered the net, they would pull it up.

The expansion of judicial authority would not be into just any area of controversy, but into one of the most intensely partisan aspects of American political life,” Roberts wrote. The court rejected challenges to Republican-drawn congressional districts in North Carolina and a Democratic district in Maryland. “Our conclusion does not condone excessive partisan gerrymandering,” Roberts wrote, acknowledging that the North Carolina and Maryland maps are “highly partisan.” In a dissent for the four liberals, Justice Elena Kagan wrote, “For the first time ever, this court refuses to remedy a constitutional violation because it thinks the task beyond judicial capabilities.” Kagan, in mournful tones, read a summary of her dissent in court to emphasize her disagreement.

We may have to give up things we want or want to do, and our family and friends may not always understand our devotion to God – especially if they are not Christians themselves. Jesus certainly wants us as His children, but He also wants us to realize the important commitment we are making when we accept Him as our Savior. It won’t always be easy He tells us in the Bible, but you know what? It is certainly worth any trials we might have to go through to have Jesus by our side all the time, our sins forgiven, and be heaven bound! Let’s say our prayer for the week. Father God, thank You for the lessons in the Bible that Jesus taught us. Help us to always know just how important our Christianity is and be good and faithful Christians to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. struggle at times to define even what it means to be free, let us each concur that he who does not know how to spend his freedom nobly is not truly free at all. “What sort of persons ought we to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness?” (from 2 Peter 3:11). In like manner, let us who call upon the name of Jesus and consider ourselves to be free, follow in every way the leading of the Savior. Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free…. Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:31-32, 34-36 ESV). Perhaps you spend Independence Day reflecting deeply on your identity as an American and the entitlement of fellow human beings across the globe to freedom. Be careful to not neglect the need to consider whether you are still in bondage to sin and death. If you are not already so, seek to be set free into God’s life and peace and become the new creation He has had in mind all along. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that the Lakers will send Moritz Wagner, Issac Bonga, Jemerrio Jones and a future second-round pick to the Washington Wizards as part of the deal that will bring Davis to Los Angeles. The Wizards will send cash to the New Orleans Pelicans in the deal, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement cannot be finalized until July 6. The trade was first reported by ESPN, and the cash element was first reported by The Washington Post. Shedding those contracts — along with Davis waiving his $4 million trade kicker, as ESPN reported — will give the Lakers enough cap space to sign a max player, if they are so inclined. They could also spread that cap space out among multiple players, which could be the more prudent move considering the Lakers have virtually an entire roster to fill. Once this trade is executed, the Lakers will have only James, Davis and Kyle Kuzma under contract for next season, not counting a pair of restricted free agents. The Lakers agreed earlier this month to acquire Davis from New Orleans for Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram and three first-round draft picks — one of them being De’Andre Hunter, who was chosen by the Lakers on draft night and will then be traded to New Orleans and flipped from there to the Atlanta Hawks. Thursday’s agreement means six players and four picks were the price the Lakers paid for Davis. It technically is not a 10-for-1 move, because the newfound cap space will bring at least one other player to Los Angeles. Wagner, Jones and Bonga were rookies last season. Wagner averaged 4.8 points in 43 games, Jones scored a total of 27 points in six games and Bonga scored 19 points in 22 appearances with the Lakers.

Looking back at Spring 2019 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com As the weather warmed up, so too did the accomplishments. After focusing on the highlights from fall and spring over the last two days, the 2019 spring sports season within the Ohio Valley Publishing area was arguably the best of the entire school year. Each county produced state qualifiers in track and field as the tri-county area combined to qualify 44 different studentathletes out to the final weekend of each state’s respective championship meet. Thirty-nine of those state qualifiers came from Mason County, including the area’s only state champions. Point Pleasant junior Samantha Saunders won the high jump and freshman teammate Addy Cottrill came away with the shot put title in Class AA, helping guide the Lady Knights to a third place team finish. The Black Knights placed ninth in the Class AA boys meet, while the Wahama girls mustered a half-point and finished 26th in the Class A championship. Mason County ended up churning out 17 podium finishes between the Point and Wahama.

Bauer struck out a seasonhigh 12 and held Kansas City to one run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 5-3 win over the Royals. The win was only the second since April 30 for Bauer, a stretch that has left him searching for answers the past couple of months. “It’s been a struggle, but hopefully that’s all in the past now,” Bauer said. Bauer (6-6) had the 23rd double-figure strikeout game of his career and his fourth this season. The right-hander didn’t allow a hit until rookie Humberto Arteaga singled with two outs in the fifth. Bauer says some physical limitations have caused a dip in both the velocity and movement on his pitches. “Everyone’s banged up throughout the year,” he said. “But I’m GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The schedule for the 2019 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League is winding down.

(AP) — Vanderbilt swept the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament titles, set the league record for wins, tied the record with 13 draft picks and lost backto-back games just twice. Now the Commodores are national champions. Mason Hickman and Jake Eder combined for 14 strikeouts, Michigan ace Karl Kauffmann was knocked out in the fourth inning, and the Commodores won the College World Series with an 8-2 victory in Game 3 of the finals Wednesday night. Vandy (59-12) won its second title in its four CWS appearances, all since 2011. The other one came in 2014. “I felt we were going to hit well, I felt we were going to play well. I thought this was going to be a nice night for the kids,” coach Tim Corbin said. Freshman Kumar Rocker, who was dominant in two CWS starts, was selected the Most Outstanding Player. Hickman struck out 10 in six innings and limited the Wolverines (50-22) to one hit after he gave up three in a row to start the game. Kauffmann, making his third start in the CWS, struggled with his control, and Vandy broke open the game with three … they gave us everything we wanted and more.” Vandy is the sixth national champion from the SEC since 2009 and 12th overall, second only to the 18 won by the Pac-12 and its previous iterations. At No. 2, Vandy became the highest national seed to win it all since Miami in 2001. Hickman gave up three straight singles to start the game, leading to Michigan’s first run.

The Commodores scored three runs with two outs in the third. Two walks and a single loaded the bases, and Kauffmann walked in the go-ahead run. Stephen Scott singled in two more. Kauffmann tied a career high with five walks, and Jeff Criswell relieved him after Kauffman walked Ty Duval leading off the fourth, and JJ Bleday’s single and Ethan Paul’s sacrifice fly stretched the lead to 6-1. Vandy pitchers combined for a 2.50 ERA over six CWS games. Hickman allowed one earned run and struck out 13 in 12 innings. Rocker, who threw the no-hitter in super regionals that already is part of college baseball lore, gave up two earned runs and fanned 17 in 12 1/3 innings. The staff averaged 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings. “I know our offense was celebrated for a long period of time, but you look at what happened in this tournament, and it was pitching and defense, and certainly starting pitching,” Corbin said. “We won this in 2014, it was relief pitching.

(AP) — Justin Bour returned from his banishment to the minors with a slightly tweaked swing and a renewed hunger at the plate. With another huge game in his June power surge, both the slugger and his Los Angeles Angels are showing it’s not too late to get something great out of their up-and-down season. Bour hit two homers, Mike Trout scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and the Angels got back above .500 with a 5-1 victory over the slumping Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. Immediately after Trout scampered home on David Fletcher’s infield hit, Bour followed with an impressive three-run homer. He also hit a solo shot in the fifth inning of his first multihomer game since joining the Angels in the offseason. “I’ve felt good for a while now, and it’s just a matter of contributing when I get the opportunity,” Bour said. Bour has four homers in five starts since returning to the Angels from that monthlong stretch at Salt Lake. He was batting .163 when he was sent down, but a more upright batting stance and the reality check of 19 games of Triple-A ball have snapped Bour back into focus. “A lot of it was just getting my own body out of the way,” the burly first baseman said. “There’s a lot of me, so it’s just about getting out of the way. … Home runs are great, but I just feel that is best for the athletic program,” said Tom Ritter, the interim chairman of the Board of STORRS, Conn. — Trustees. “At this time, UConn is heading back I support accepting the to the Big East.

The fee would eventually drop to $15 and later $10 million. “Make no mistake that we will still be committed to our football program,” Ritter said. “We will have options for football and we will have time to decide on a pathway for a successful and exciting football program.” TENOGLIA & SALISBURY LAW GROUP, LLC.

Terrill | AP Cincinnati Reds third baseman Nick Senzel can’t reach a ball hit for a solo home run by Los Angeles Angels’ Justin Bour during the fifth inning Wednesday in Anaheim, Calif. The Angels won 5-1. comfortable and in control in the box.” Bour came through on an important night for the Angels (41-40), who hit the halfway point of their season with six wins in nine games after this two-game interleague sweep. Los Angeles hasn’t been two games above .500 all season, but the returns of several injured regulars are inspiring optimism among the Halos for this final stretch before the All-Star break. Bour knows he won’t get extensive daily playing time behind Albert Pujols and Shohei Ohtani, who went 3 for 3 with a walk. But he feels ready to make the most of limited action. “The guy that we’ve seen since he’s gotten recalled is the guy that we were hoping to see,” Angels manager Brad Ausmus said. “Looks like the Justin Bour that we signed.” Yasiel Puig homered in the fifth for the Reds, who lost four straight to close out their six-game road trip. Although the Reds didn’t make as many blatant mistakes Wednesday as they did in Tuesday’s embarrassing defeat , Cincinnati scored just two runs in 18 innings at the Big A. “This little stretch here really tests your resolve to bounce back,” manager David Bell said. “Good teams that have good seasons find a way to bounce back.” Starters Tanner Roark and Jaime Barria worked quickly and efficiently amid the pitcher-friendly shadows at Angel Stadium to open a rare earlystarting weekday game. Roark allowed four hits and pitched into the sixth inning for the Reds, striking out six in his first career appearance at the Big A. Barria tossed five innings of three-hit ball for the Angels, striking out six in a strong fill-in start. The Reds hadn’t hit a ball hard against Barria until Puig led off the fifth with a line-drive homer to right, his 17th of the season. Bour tied it with a solo shot off Roark moments later. “It was an OK pitch,” Roark said. “I didn’t think it was going to hurt me, but it did.” Pleasant Valley Hospital Tess Simon, MD Internal Medicine 195 Upper River Road, Gallipolis Good health begins with great primary care.

Photos courtesy of the Breakwater Powerboat Association Thundercat inflatable boats take part in a race last season. 10 | Along the River | Summer 2019 There is some debate about how long it has been since high-speed powerboats raced along the shores of Portsmouth on the Ohio River. According to Brandy Hitchcock, spokesperson for the Breakwater Powerboat Association, races were last held in Portsmouth about seven years ago. As most know by now, they will return to the river during the upcoming Labor Day weekend, Aug. 31 to Sept. 2, part of the city’s annual River Days festivities. “We could not be more excited to have the opportunity to bring tunnel boat racing back to Portsmouth,” says John Hitchcock, race director and president of Breakwater Powerboat Association (BPA.) “This is a huge event for us as well as Portsmouth.” In speaking with the Daily Times, Brandy Hitchcock said the races will feature a couple of different kinds of boats, most notably what are known as tunnel boats. The boats feature what she called “sponson tips,” which at high speeds, kind of allow the boats to fly across the water. Hitchcock said at top velocities only the propeller of the boat is actually in the water. The upcoming races will feature several classes of tunnel boats. The fastest boats are the SST 120s, featuring 200 horsepower motors that can propel boat to speeds of about 120 mph. Hitchcock said drivers can feel between three to five G’s pulling at them when turning. And Hitchcock claims tunnel boats are the fastest cornering vehicles ever built. Drivers must wear oxygen masks and harnesses in order to handle the speed and G forces. A second SST class, the SST 60, features 80 horsepower motors. Thundercat inflatable boats also are considered tunnel boats though they are made from rubber. They feature the same power motors as the SST 60 class boats. The inflatables feature a two-person crew. One sits in the front of the boat and steers by shifting his or her weight. The second sits in the back controlling the throttle. The inflatables have one major advantage over other boat classes in that they can run on choppy water while others simply can’t, Hitchcock said. Brandy Hitchcock said both her �OH-70130100 70 Along the River | Summer 2019 | 11 �father and uncle both are powerboat drivers. She and her husband are members of her father’s crew, with John Hitchcock talking to his father-in-law via radio during races. Brandy Hitchcock said she does whatever needs to be done. All races begin with boats sitting on a beach or at team consists of a minimum a dock.

River front fun One of the most notable attractions in Scioto County are the Floodwall Murals. Spanning over 2,000 feet, the murals in Portsmouth have become a popular attraction for visitors and tourists. Progress on the murals continues to be made, with new additions and touchups being added frequently. Located along Front Street, these murals portray the history of Portsmouth from the mound building Indians to the present day, and use a 20-foot high, 2,000 foot-long flood wall as a canvas. The project runs the length of the historic district and includes over 55 different scenes. In 1992, the planning stages of the Flood wall Mural Project began with the formation of an ad hoc committee, which later registered as a nonprofit organization – Portsmouth Dettwiller Lumber ������������������ ��������� ��������������� �������� ����� � ����� � ������ � ������� �������� ������� ��������� ������������ � �������� � ��� �������� �������� ����� ���� Hours: Monday-Friday: 8am-6pm Saturday: 8am-3pm Sunday: 11am-3pm 14 | Along the River | Summer 2019 � ���%&����"��&$��&�)��#!�$#(�����#�)��� ������ �� �� ���%��"�&#"��#���)�� ��"(�����#� ���)� �� � � �� ��� ����� ��)����$&�'$�����#� ��)� �� � ���� OH-70130792 or a blanket since the event will be held outside.

Many know the Triple Nickel, they have ridden Route 78 across southeast Ohio, they’ve climbed and yodeled Route 26 and 800 in the Switzerland of Ohio area north of Marietta, and they have wound around the Windy 9, and back again. But most have not yet ridden Southeast Ohio’s newest touring routes – The Serpent’s Bones. In partnership with Vinton and Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureaus, a local rider, writer, and teacher has crafted hundreds of miles of tours with natural beauty, history, and a story to tell. From the Serpent’s 16 | Along the River | Summer 2019 Horns to its Belly, the area rolls and rocks with adventure. “Over the last five years, I’ve put 13,000-plus miles on my 1989 Honda TransAlp - all in Southeast Ohio. I wanted to share some of what I’ve found with people passionate about touring and riding. There are hardly any vehicles on these roads. Many were built for the coal mining, which is gone, but the roads, and the countryside remain,” said Sarah Guthrie, creator of the Serpent’s Bones Touring Routes. Book a stay in the historic river town of Gallipolis to tour the southern routes, or visit Lake Hope State Park camping, cabins, and lodge to access the northern routes. See the railroad tunnels, cemeteries, covered bridges, old mines, and former Iron Furnaces. Enjoy the natural beauty, often in complete isolation. When you return to civilization, grab a bite to eat or explore the host community’s local shops and attractions. “I had actually been working on a motorcycle route system when she (Guthrie) stopped into the Gallia Visitors Bureau to discuss this project. As a non-rider, I was thrilled to have someone to work with. Sarah has taken us on this project and we are very happy to help her create the southern routes through Gallia County by providing resources and suggestions,” said Kaitlynn Halley assistant director of the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Serpent’s Bones currently offers nine routes and is still growing. Each route has its own story and is waiting for you to add the next chapter. We invite you to visit www.serpentbones. com and discover Southeast Ohio.

At 15 miles, the Symmes Creek and Morgan Sisters trails do join together in the middle and can be accessed from Symmes Creek Road and Pumpkintown Road, respectively. For those looking to put their paddles in the water, check out these options: For years the canoe livery on Bob Evans Farm in Rio Grande offered an aquatic view of Gallia County from Raccoon Creek, but was closed some years ago. Then, in 2018, Raccoon Creek Paddles and Oars emerged, with the owners purchasing a small portion of land along Raccoon Creek. Offered for those wanting to paddle along Ohio’s longest creek are canoes and kayaks, as well as guided tours and shelter house rentals. In Gallia County Raccoon Creek is the main destination for those wanting to get out and paddle a kayak, however there is other locations. Tycoon Lake east of Rio Grande provides a large area for paddlers not wanting to go downstream and provides easy access in and out of the water. If paddling downstream is still your aim, but you want an alternative to Racoon Creek, Symmes Creek also provides excellent views and paddling while the water is high, as do other small creeks in Gallia. Symmes Creek is about 75 miles long and runs through the western portion of Gallia, giving prime views of countryside farms and some of Wayne National Forest. Swan Creek, which runs near Swan Creek Road in the southern portion of Gallia also provides kayak enthusiasts a chance to get their oars in the water.

He worked with Samuel Clemens, or Mark Twain, who stayed at the current day bed and breakfast. William H. Grant House is also in Middleport.

File Photo | OVP The popular splash pad at Krodel Park. Wild, Wonderful Krodel Park Though Memorial Day Weekend is typically busy at Krodel Park, this year attendance was amplified. One might say, something was definitely in the water and not just the 22-acre lake. Point Pleasant’s new splash pad opened that weekend and since then, has been a hit, according to city officials. With free admission for residents of Mason County with identification, and only $1 per person for everyone else, it’s affordable fun on anyone’s budget. Summer hours are Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday, noon-6 p.m. However, the splash pad isn’t the only new addition in recent years. The playground, which sits next to the splash pad, was totally revamped two years ago, including pieces of equipment for children of all abilities. The walking trail around the park, which had suf28 | Along the River | Summer 2019 fered from erosion is now completely repaved and a newly erected gazebo has become a favorite place to sit in the shade near the water. There’s also new life brewing in the old concession stand on the end of the park which used to house the beach. The newly opened Yak Shak provides kayak and paddleboat rentals for those wishing to take a paddle around the lake. Rentals include hourly and daily rates, as well as single and tandem kayak choices. Life vests are included. The Yak Shak also sells light refreshments, and is open Sunday - Friday, noon – 7 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Hours will be extended starting July 1. The playground upgrade was estimated to cost over $160,000, the walking trail upgrade at $359,000 and the splash pad, when the project began, was projected to cost around $70,000. For just those three projects, that’s well over a half-million dollars of investment in the last few years in the park. “So much has changed in just a short time with the support of individuals, businesses and organizations,” Point Pleasant Mayor Brian Billings said of upgrades to the park. “Our city staff has worked diligently to make Krodel Park a showplace not for just our very own but for visitors outside of our borders.” Billings continued: “Our walking trail, playground, splash pad, Yak Shak, campground and new gazebo have brought back the pride of the past here in our hometown. But there is more to do and we hope to bring more to Krodel Park for the enjoyment of all.” The park is still a favorite camping and fishing spot, with trout stocked twice a year by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The park, with its picnic shelters and club house is also home to Fort Randolph with its many events throughout the season. Article by Beth Sergent. �File Photo | OVP Kayak rentals at Krodel Park.

Friday, June 28,2019 5B The Cruisin’ Saturday Night Car Show is a highlight of Saturday at Party in the Park. 11th Party in the Park set for September By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — Racine’s Star Mill Park will be home to the village’s 11th annual Party in the Park this September featuring live music, activities and the Cruisin’ Saturday Night Car Show. The 2019 Party in the Park will be held the second weekend in September. The headliner for this year’s Party in the Park will be singer Brandon Lay who will perform on Saturday, Sept. 14. Lay’s most popular songs are “Speakers, bleachers & preachers” and “Yada Yada Yada”. According to his bio, Lay grew up in Jackson, Tennessee, and lived out the songs of John Mellencamp, Alan Jackson and Bruce Springsteen. He played sports during the day, fixed up cars after school and eventually wrote down his experiences in song, telling not only his story, but the story of other kids raised in small town America. Now signed to EMI Records Nashville, he’s able to share those songs on a grand scale, beginning with his autobiographical debut single “Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers.” Inspired directly by Brandon’s life, the song spells out right in its title the three chief influences that shaped him. There was always country music on the radio, he played basketball, football and baseball, and his dad spread the gospel on Sundays as a minister. Brandon is expert at detailing the small-town existence in his songwriting. He wrote or co-wrote all of the tracks on his debut album, a project he’ll unveil somewhere down the road – for the time-being, he’s building an audience by releasing a series of two-song EPs, beginning with the one-two punch of “Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers” and the thumping cruising jam “Let It.” On Friday, Sept. 13, entertainment will be Dragon’s Eye and Thunderstruck. Dragon’s Eye is a Meigs County based Rock n Roll band consisting of Roger Dowell, lead vocals; Mark Corbitt, lead guitar and back up vocals; Robbie Cundiff, bass and back up vocals; and Brian Collins, drums. Thunderstruck is known as America’s AC/ DC Tribute band. According to their bio, Thunderstruck has been recreating the “Thunder From Down Under” throughout the Southwest, Midwest, Southern and Northeastern United States. Dave Moody screeches out the ball breaking vocals of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, covering all the hits and deep cuts from 1975’s “High Voltage,” to 2014’s “Rock or Bust.” Caleb White brings the sound and image of Angus Young to the stage, complete with a school boy uniform and Gibson SG. The rhythm section of the band is comprised of drummer Jerry Lawson, bassist Chris Jones, and rhythm guitarist Kevin Feller, who keeps the music rocking and solid with smooth precision. Striving to stay true to the AC/DC way, Thunderstruck obsesses over the tones and structures of each song’s studio and live versions, also using all the gear necessary to bring the power and entertainment of a genuine AC/DC show. Thunderstruck can bring the High Voltage Rock n’ Roll to any theater, ballroom, festival or special event. In addition to the live music, Party in the Park includes a parade, car show, and many other family friendly activities. Additional information about the 11th annual Party in the Park will appear in future editions of The Daily Sentinel and can be found on the Racine’s Party in the Park Facebook page.
