The complaint was filed by Robert L. Griffin of Reedsville and Alexander Fasules of Orient, who own real estate on Township Road 415, Weber Road. They allege that the trustees have accepted state funds for road upkeep but have not maintained the road, making it impassable. They say the road is in poor condition, and culverts and drainage ditches are washed out. The complaint for a writ of mandamus demands an accounting of funds appropriated for the road and repairs to the road by the trustees, Alan Holter.

ODOT signal electricians have set the timer for three time periods during the day while students are arriving and departing from the school grounds. As of March 19, 2007, ODOT had replaced the current 8-inch flashing lights with new 12-inch flashing lights. New 20 mph traffic signs were erected at the location of the flashing lights on Ohio 7. This restricts speed limits between the flashing lights to 20 mph . Motorists have detected the new flashing lights and speed limits as they drive by Clay since March of this year. On Sept. 5, ODOT returned to Clay to complete the following requirements: • Painted the word SCHOOL on the pavement. • Erected new pre-warning school zone signs.

The Middlepon Volunteer Fire Department was the primacy responder to the fire which was. ~escribed as being on public property just past Story's Run Road and near the old rock slide. Middleport received assistance from. the Pomeroy, Rutland and Bashan departments. Lt. Chris Snouffer of the Middlepon Fire Department said the scene was remote, requiring four-wheel drive vehicles which complicated lighting the fire as did the heat, dry conditions and wind. All of these variables led to firefighters being on the scene for six hours. Snouffer said at this point there was no cau~e determined for the fire ; which was actually a series of several small fires. There was. no estimate on the acres which burned.

Two years ago, we invited him and his daughter, a preteen, to stay with us for a week. During the ir visit, we noticed that Rex drank all day and tried to disguise it by putting the booze in a coffell cup. Also, at bedtime, I asked if he wanted 'a cot for his daughter to sleep on instead of sharing the bed. He said. "No, we're just fine." I shot him a look of concern but didn't say anything more. , ·After that visit, my wife decided she doesn't want Rex in our home again. Recently, he's called a few times indicating he's coming our way. l'n\ sure he wants to stay with us (with his "coffee cup,'' no doubt). So far, I have let the answering machine record his calls and have not responded. What can I do to make this situation palatable? Rock and Hard Place Dear Rock: A lot can happen in two years, arid you have no idea what condition Rex is in now, and more · importantly, how his daughter is doing. You may be the only ones in a position to make a difference in her life. Give Rex another · chance. He owes it to liis chi,ld to be sober and responsible. If he is drinking to excess, don't be afraid to tell him he needs help. Alcoholics Anonymous is in the phone book. Set up a separate bed in a private area for his daughter without asking if he wants one. (If you suspect abuse, report him to the authorities.) Instead of making Rex an adversary, enlist your wife's help to create a positive environment for his child. She needs you in her life.

Sunken Bridesmaid Dear Bridesmaid: Many bridal couples do not realize they have an obligation to provide their out-of-state attendants with accomrnodations, whether that means a spare bed at a neighbor's or a cabin on a cruise ship.

'· '• .. .. AROUND.TOWN iunbap lim~ ·itnttntl ANNIE'S MAILBOX AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: My brother, "Rex," lives out ot state. Two years ago, we invited him and his daughter, a preteen, to stay with us for a week. During the ir visit, we noticed that Rex drank all day and tried to disguise it by putting the booze in a coffell cup. Also, at bedtime, I asked if he wanted 'a cot for his daughter to sleep on instead of sharing the bed. He said. "No, we're just fine." I shot him a look of concern but didn't say anything more. , ·After that visit, my wife decided she doesn't want Rex in our home again. Recently, he's called a few times indicating he's coming our way. l'n\ sure he wants to stay with us (with his "coffee cup,'' no doubt). So far, I have let the answering machine record his calls and have not responded. What can I do to make this situation palatable? Rock and Hard Place Dear Rock: A lot can happen in two years, arid you have no idea what condition Rex is in now, and more · importantly, how his daughter is doing. You may be the only ones in a position to make a difference in her life. Give Rex another · chance. He owes it to liis chi,ld to be sober and responsible. If he is drinking to excess, don't be afraid to tell him he needs help. Alcoholics Anonymous is in the phone book. Set up a separate bed in a private area for his daughter without asking if he wants one. (If you suspect abuse, report him to the authorities.) Instead of making Rex an adversary, enlist your wife's help to create a positive environment for his child. She needs you in her life. Dear Annile: I was recently asked to be in the wedding party for a close relative. The engaged couple has since decided to hold the reception on a cruise ship. The cost for me to participate no w. would be far beyond my means. While I respect their right to have the recertion they choose, I think it s unfair to expect that kind of financial commitment. I'm considering declining the invitation. How do I do thi s? Sunken Bridesmaid Dear Bridesmaid: Many bridal couples do not realize they have an obligation to provide their out-of-state attendants with accomrnodations, whether that means a spare bed at a neighbor's or a cabin on a cruise ship. While yo11r clothing and transponation are your responsibility, lodging is not. If your relalive is unwilling 'to help you, it is perfectly OK tn say, " I'm so sorry I cannot be part of your wedding. It is over my budget. I hope you have time to find someone else." Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Floundering in Florida," who thought she had aright to pursue an affair with a married man because his wife is obese. My husband is thin, handsome and a physician, and I am obese. Yet we have a satisfying marriage. I also am very accomplished, having been presi- LPN ceremony s~t Sept. 14 ·.

The story centers on Democratic Rep. Brian Baird. an ardent opponent of the Iraq War, who recently traveled to that hellish country and, surprisingly, came back saymg that the "surge" is improving things there. Well, MoveOn.·and its Internet hit m·en ,·mmedt"ately began damning Baird and even funded a TV commercial airing in his Washington state district, aimed at gelling him out of office. As the Journal put it: "(MoveOn) doesn't aim to engage in debate, but to and silence punish Democrats who dare think for themselves." ·And MoveOn has largely succeeded. Few Democrats want to be. defame<l and attacked by an organizalion that has millions of dollars and no standards of honesty. MoveOn and its character assassins have infiltrated a variety of political websites, and there are no rules. Bill O'Reilly The funding behind MoveOn comes from radiall ft b"ll" · G . c - e ' tonmres eor~e Soros and Peter Lewts, from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund , which has assets of nearly $400 million, and from the ultra-liberal Tides Foundation. MoveOn members also doriate. So, the operation is awash in dollars and can buy attack advertisements all day long. Last year, Sen. Joseph Lieberman lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut largely· because of MoveOn's blistering campaign against him. The two-party system in America has always been delicate, and, I believe, we need a vibrant third party to prevent just what 1s happening right now: Tfie Democratic Party is being pulverized by far-left loons who are intimidating moderate Democrats and, in turn, imposing a radical agenda on the party. It is hard to picture John F. Kennedy embracing extremism like this, but senators Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards all seem to be fine with MoveOn and its tac~ tics, which is frightening to say the least. . Baird is the rare exception in today's political arena. You may disagree . with his assessment of Iraq and his liberal voting record, but the guy has guts. He made an indepen~ent assessment of Iraq after he traveled there. He then came hol!le and stated said assessment to his constituents. He did what elected officials are supposed to d,o: examine situations honestly. He does not deserve to be attac~d by anyone . .

On calamities (in the sky and ~n your head) Gather 'round, young people, because it's backto-school time, and Uncle Dave wants to give you some important advice to help you excel in the classroom and have successful, rewarding careers, assuming that the Earth is not destroyed by giant comet chunks. This is definitely a possibility. 'Just recently, giant comet chunks whomped into Jupiter and caused destrucnon so massive that it would have wiped out all human life if there had been any, which there pro~ably wasn't because the atmosphere on Jupiter has essenllally the same chemical composition as Drano. Of course, the astronomy community carried on as though the mass destruction on Jupiter was just about the coolest scientific thing to happen since the invention of the pocket protector. Every night you'd see astronomers on the TV news, holding up blurred photographs of what appeared to be a pizza, pointing to .a roundish smudge that ap]?<:ared to be a pepperom, and announcing, in happy voices, that it was the equivalent of 19 hillion jillion atomic bombs. They contend we don't have to worry. They contend that the mathematical odds of a large comet chunk hitting the Earth in our lifetimes are infinitesimal, even smaller - if such a thing is possible - than the odds of the Buffalo Bills win· ning a Super Bowl. But Dave Barry whenever we hear the astronomy community making claims, two words should spring into our minds: "Comet Kohoutek." Back in 1973, the astronomy community claimed that Comet Kohoutek was going to pass close to the Earth and produce this spectacular celestial phenomenon, so big and bright you'd be able to see it EVEN IN THE DAYTIME. People were afraid to go outside for fear they would suffer comet burns. And what happened? Nothing. All over the world, millions of people spent hours squinting at the sky, pointing excitedly at airplanes, moths, beer signs, smudges on their binocular lenses, etc. But ultimately they had to accept the ugly truth: ·THERE WAS NO COMET KOHOUTEK. Oh, sure, the astronomy community, desperate to · save face, produced some blurred photographs of a "comet" but it turned out, upon close inspection, to be a human sperm cell · magnified 400,000 times. (We . now · believe it belonged to Carl Sagan.) My point is that if the astronomy community c.on· tends that we're not going to get hit by giant co~et chunks, then we probably are. The result would be . mass destruction on the most horrendous scale ever seen in the history of this planet, causing famine, disease, death and - in the United States alone - literally millions of personalinjury lawsuits. ' This would lead to a major boom in the legal profession, a career field Uncle Dave feels you young people should definitely he considering as you head back to school. Even in the unlikely event the Earth is NOT hit by giant comet chunks, experts believe the legal field will continue to grow rapidly, as more and more Americans realize the practical benefits of suing everybody about everything, including dandruff. This column alone will generate hundreds of new jobs in the legal field as a result of lawsuits filed by representatives of Drano, the Buffalo Bills and the Kohoutek family. So IJ!e economic future looks bright, young people. But no matter what career field you ultimate!y choose to enter, you · re not going to gel very far if you have a stupid haircut. Uncle Dave is especially concerned about a hairstyle that is showing up more and more often on young male s: It's the one where the sides and back of the head are shaved completely naked, ' ' ",,...-' ;I· ' while the hair on top is _ grown really long and : : pulled straighi back into a ·•· ponytail. Young people, this haircut looks even stupider thim the one where you shave words into the side of your. head. This haircut doesn't even look like it's ' an organic part of your ' J body. It looks like a small, ' 1 wet, dead raccoon perched A ; on top of a bald head.

The story centers on Democratic Rep. Brian Baird. an ardent opponent of the Iraq War, who recently traveled to that hellish country and, surprisingly, came back saymg that the "surge" is improving things there. Well, MoveOn.·and its Internet hit m·en ,·mmedt"ately began damning Baird and even funded a TV commercial airing in his Washington state district, aimed at gelling him out of office. As the Journal put it: "(MoveOn) doesn't aim to engage in debate, but to and silence punish Democrats who dare think for themselves." ·And MoveOn has largely succeeded. Few Democrats want to be. defame<l and attacked by an organizalion that has millions of dollars and no standards of honesty. MoveOn and its character assassins have infiltrated a variety of political websites, and there are no rules. Bill O'Reilly The funding behind MoveOn comes from radiall ft b"ll" · G . c - e ' tonmres eor~e Soros and Peter Lewts, from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund , which has assets of nearly $400 million, and from the ultra-liberal Tides Foundation. MoveOn members also doriate. So, the operation is awash in dollars and can buy attack advertisements all day long. Last year, Sen. Joseph Lieberman lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut largely· because of MoveOn's blistering campaign against him. The two-party system in America has always been delicate, and, I believe, we need a vibrant third party to prevent just what 1s happening right now: Tfie Democratic Party is being pulverized by far-left loons who are intimidating moderate Democrats and, in turn, imposing a radical agenda on the party. It is hard to picture John F. Kennedy embracing extremism like this, but senators Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards all seem to be fine with MoveOn and its tac~ tics, which is frightening to say the least. . Baird is the rare exception in today's political arena. You may disagree . with his assessment of Iraq and his liberal voting record, but the guy has guts. He made an indepen~ent assessment of Iraq after he traveled there. He then came hol!le and stated said assessment to his constituents. He did what elected officials are supposed to d,o: examine situations honestly. He does not deserve to be attac~d by anyone . . There is nothing on the right that compares with the tactics used by MoveOn and the reach it has purchased.

On calamities (in the sky and ~n your head) Gather 'round, young people, because it's backto-school time, and Uncle Dave wants to give you some important advice to help you excel in the classroom and have successful, rewarding careers, assuming that the Earth is not destroyed by giant comet chunks. This is definitely a possibility. 'Just recently, giant comet chunks whomped into Jupiter and caused destrucnon so massive that it would have wiped out all human life if there had been any, which there pro~ably wasn't because the atmosphere on Jupiter has essenllally the same chemical composition as Drano. Of course, the astronomy community carried on as though the mass destruction on Jupiter was just about the coolest scientific thing to happen since the invention of the pocket protector. Every night you'd see astronomers on the TV news, holding up blurred photographs of what appeared to be a pizza, pointing to .a roundish smudge that ap]?<:ared to be a pepperom, and announcing, in happy voices, that it was the equivalent of 19 hillion jillion atomic bombs. They contend we don't have to worry. They contend that the mathematical odds of a large comet chunk hitting the Earth in our lifetimes are infinitesimal, even smaller - if such a thing is possible - than the odds of the Buffalo Bills win· ning a Super Bowl. But Dave Barry whenever we hear the astronomy community making claims, two words should spring into our minds: "Comet Kohoutek." Back in 1973, the astronomy community claimed that Comet Kohoutek was going to pass close to the Earth and produce this spectacular celestial phenomenon, so big and bright you'd be able to see it EVEN IN THE DAYTIME. People were afraid to go outside for fear they would suffer comet burns. And what happened? Nothing. All over the world, millions of people spent hours squinting at the sky, pointing excitedly at airplanes, moths, beer signs, smudges on their binocular lenses, etc. But ultimately they had to accept the ugly truth: ·THERE WAS NO COMET KOHOUTEK. Oh, sure, the astronomy community, desperate to · save face, produced some blurred photographs of a "comet" but it turned out, upon close inspection, to be a human sperm cell · magnified 400,000 times. (We . now · believe it belonged to Carl Sagan.) My point is that if the astronomy community c.on· tends that we're not going to get hit by giant co~et chunks, then we probably are. The result would be . mass destruction on the most horrendous scale ever seen in the history of this planet, causing famine, disease, death and - in the United States alone - literally millions of personalinjury lawsuits. ' This would lead to a major boom in the legal profession, a career field Uncle Dave feels you young people should definitely he considering as you head back to school. Even in the unlikely event the Earth is NOT hit by giant comet chunks, experts believe the legal field will continue to grow rapidly, as more and more Americans realize the practical benefits of suing everybody about everything, including dandruff. This column alone will generate hundreds of new jobs in the legal field as a result of lawsuits filed by representatives of Drano, the Buffalo Bills and the Kohoutek family. So IJ!e economic future looks bright, young people. But no matter what career field you ultimate!y choose to enter, you · re not going to gel very far if you have a stupid haircut. Uncle Dave is especially concerned about a hairstyle that is showing up more and more often on young male s: It's the one where the sides and back of the head are shaved completely naked, ' ' ",,...-' ;I· ' while the hair on top is _ grown really long and : : pulled straighi back into a ·•· ponytail. Young people, this haircut looks even stupider thim the one where you shave words into the side of your. head. This haircut doesn't even look like it's ' an organic part of your ' J body. It looks like a small, ' 1 wet, dead raccoon perched A ; on top of a bald head.

After a seven~day trial, a Mason County jury awarded James W. Hi~ginbotham over $400,000 m damages from Norfolk Southern Railway and the three men who were detectives with their police department. · Back in 2000, Higginbotham was an employee with the railroad company when Charles Paxton and track supervisor Mark D. Lonsinger began an investigation into an unauthorized removal of sections of railroad track and materials to ·secure the track· from the area known as Blue Creek, according to court documents. Apparently others, had told Higginbotham that the rails \\lere from an old mine that was once located on the property and .had been abandoned. The documents also say that another man produced a bill of sale from CSX Transportation stating the rails belong to them and that the men had permission to remove them. As they were removing the rails, tt was then that the detectives from Norfolk Southern began their investigation saying the ·rails belonged to that company. Because he rails were on a tractor-trailer he had rented and some were on his property in Leon, Higginbotham was fired from Norfolk Southern Railway. He later got his job back, but 13 months later, he was indicted by the Kanawha PageA6 Sunday, September 9, 2007 CINCINNATI (AP) Saturday.

He stated that it was important that Higginbotham's friends and family know that he did not commit the crime he was accused. Chafin said there is still the question though of who actually owns the rails which still remains an issue . With the jury listening to two weeks worth of evidence and testimony, they decided in Higginbotham's favor, Chafm said. Before tlie trial, Norfolk Southern had attempted to have the, case moved to federal court as a labor dispute case with Judge Robert Chambers sayinll no, it was a state case.

After a seven~day trial, a Mason County jury awarded James W. Hi~ginbotham over $400,000 m damages from Norfolk Southern Railway and the three men who were detectives with their police department. · Back in 2000, Higginbotham was an employee with the railroad company when Charles Paxton and track supervisor Mark D. Lonsinger began an investigation into an unauthorized removal of sections of railroad track and materials to ·secure the track· from the area known as Blue Creek, according to court documents. Apparently others, had told Higginbotham that the rails \\lere from an old mine that was once located on the property and .had been abandoned. The documents also say that another man produced a bill of sale from CSX Transportation stating the rails belong to them and that the men had permission to remove them. As they were removing the rails, tt was then that the detectives from Norfolk Southern began their investigation saying the ·rails belonged to that company. Because he rails were on a tractor-trailer he had rented and some were on his property in Leon, Higginbotham was fired from Norfolk Southern Railway. He later got his job back, but 13 months later, he was indicted by the Kanawha PageA6 Sunday, September 9, 2007 CINCINNATI (AP) Saturday.

He stated that it was important that Higginbotham's friends and family know that he did not commit the crime he was accused. Chafin said there is still the question though of who actually owns the rails which still remains an issue . With the jury listening to two weeks worth of evidence and testimony, they decided in Higginbotham's favor, Chafm said. Before tlie trial, Norfolk Southern had attempted to have the, case moved to federal court as a labor dispute case with Judge Robert Chambers sayinll no, it was a state case.

Due to a reduction in games by both the NAJA and the American Mideast Conference the Redmen will play only 28 contests this season, down from 30 a year ago. "From NAIA rules, we're allowed 30 games, but our conference, the American Mideast Conference, they've cut us back to 28," French said. "So it's two games Jess than . what we were a year ago. "It's going to be interesting, to see how that impacts everybody in the national rankings," French added. "It's what our conference decided to do and since we're a part of a conference, we've got to fall in line, so we're playing 28 games and it's going to be 28 tough games." · The season. begins with an exhibition game on November I in Huntington at Spring Valley High School against Davis and Elkins. This game will be held in memory of Eric Sparks, a former player under French from his high school days at CeredoKenova. Rio began this last year with a match-up with Pikeville College. "It's a dress rehearsal. It's a chance for us to see how our guys will play on the road and it's for a great cause," French said. "It's give us a chance to get into another community and have people see us and watch us play." The game should also hold a special place in senior point guard Travis Keefer's memory as the site is his old high school and it will be one final chance to play in front of family and friends. "He's from · Spring Valley High School, so I'm sure it will be special to him to ~et back on his home court," French sa1d. The regular season tips off, November 9-10 with the Redmen on the road at a tournament in McKenzie, opponents lightly. "You've got to TN at the Bethel Classic. Bethel, show up aitd play.

"When you keep putting the ball in the other teams hands and you continue to do it your defense is going to get tired and they are .going to start missing tackles." Gallia Academy had chances in the flfSt half to punch it in, but the fired up Point defense held the two teams scoreless through one quarter of play including a big interception by Troy Leport inside the I 0 yard line to halt a Devils drive. GAHS finally managed to put together a successful drive to start the seco.nd quarter with a few nice runs by Butch Marnhout and a btg pass from Thompson to Cole Jones to set the team up in Point territory. The drive almost came to .a halt moments later, but' a fake punt allowed the Blue Devils to pick up the three yards needed and moments later Chris McCoy took a direct snap and ran it . 36yards for the score capping the four minute drive. With the Nick Stevens kick, Galli a managed to take a 70 lead. Every Point drive in the first half led to punts with the team only managing to get as far as the Blue Devil 40 yard line, but two straight sacks led to a punt on that drive as well. Overall, it was an improved Point team from last week's poor start. · "These kids from last week to this week, I think they made major improvements, I think the pl;lyed harder than they have played before and I · think they are going to be a good football team down the road," said Bokovitz. "That team just needs to stick together and bring it every week and just see how far they can take it this year like we will try to do with our kids." But despite the strong start, things quickly fell apart in the · second half. While the offense never really got anything going with just seven total first downs, the defense did an admiral job until long Gallia drives wore the team out. The Blue Devils scored on its first offensive possession thanks to nice passes to Noble and Beau Whaley which set up a nine yard touchdown scamper by Marnhout who was hit in the backfield - and shook off nearly the entire Point defense for the score on a drive that took nearly six minutes. Gallia scored again on its next drive, this time taking less than ·a minute when a tipped punt set up the Devils at midfield. A big run by McCoy put the ball inside Point territory and on the next play Thompson connected w1th McCoy on a 34yard touchdown pass to give the visitors a 21 -0 lead.

Due to a reduction in games by both the NAJA and the American Mideast Conference the Redmen will play only 28 contests this season, down from 30 a year ago. "From NAIA rules, we're allowed 30 games, but our conference, the American Mideast Conference, they've cut us back to 28," French said. "So it's two games Jess than . what we were a year ago. "It's going to be interesting, to see how that impacts everybody in the national rankings," French added. "It's what our conference decided to do and since we're a part of a conference, we've got to fall in line, so we're playing 28 games and it's going to be 28 tough games." · The season. begins with an exhibition game on November I in Huntington at Spring Valley High School against Davis and Elkins. This game will be held in memory of Eric Sparks, a former player under French from his high school days at CeredoKenova. Rio began this last year with a match-up with Pikeville College. "It's a dress rehearsal. It's a chance for us to see how our guys will play on the road and it's for a great cause," French said. "It's give us a chance to get into another community and have people see us and watch us play." The game should also hold a special place in senior point guard Travis Keefer's memory as the site is his old high school and it will be one final chance to play in front of family and friends. "He's from · Spring Valley High School, so I'm sure it will be special to him to ~et back on his home court," French sa1d. The regular season tips off, November 9-10 with the Redmen on the road at a tournament in McKenzie, opponents lightly. "You've got to TN at the Bethel Classic. Bethel, show up aitd play.

"When you keep putting the ball in the other teams hands and you continue to do it your defense is going to get tired and they are .going to start missing tackles." Gallia Academy had chances in the flfSt half to punch it in, but the fired up Point defense held the two teams scoreless through one quarter of play including a big interception by Troy Leport inside the I 0 yard line to halt a Devils drive. GAHS finally managed to put together a successful drive to start the seco.nd quarter with a few nice runs by Butch Marnhout and a btg pass from Thompson to Cole Jones to set the team up in Point territory. The drive almost came to .a halt moments later, but' a fake punt allowed the Blue Devils to pick up the three yards needed and moments later Chris McCoy took a direct snap and ran it . 36yards for the score capping the four minute drive. With the Nick Stevens kick, Galli a managed to take a 70 lead. Every Point drive in the first half led to punts with the team only managing to get as far as the Blue Devil 40 yard line, but two straight sacks led to a punt on that drive as well. Overall, it was an improved Point team from last week's poor start. · "These kids from last week to this week, I think they made major improvements, I think the pl;lyed harder than they have played before and I · think they are going to be a good football team down the road," said Bokovitz. "That team just needs to stick together and bring it every week and just see how far they can take it this year like we will try to do with our kids." But despite the strong start, things quickly fell apart in the · second half. While the offense never really got anything going with just seven total first downs, the defense did an admiral job until long Gallia drives wore the team out. The Blue Devils scored on its first offensive possession thanks to nice passes to Noble and Beau Whaley which set up a nine yard touchdown scamper by Marnhout who was hit in the backfield - and shook off nearly the entire Point defense for the score on a drive that took nearly six minutes. Gallia scored again on its next drive, this time taking less than ·a minute when a tipped punt set up the Devils at midfield. A big run by McCoy put the ball inside Point territory and on the next play Thompson connected w1th McCoy on a 34yard touchdown pass to give the visitors a 21 -0 lead.

"It really didn't sink in until I went in 'for my first chemo treatment," she said. "It just goes to show, it doesn't always hit where you think it's going to hit." She got used to the o, and it doesn't bothr much anymore. When returns home from treat· ment, she rests only a little and then goes about ber day.

The screening is being offered in observance of Prostate Health Month. Physicians who will conduct the screenings include Drs. Nicolette Jones, Subhash Khosla and Lawrence Yodlowski. Assisting will be She! Da\Vson, MSN, CUNP, certified urology nurse practi· tioner at Holzer Clinic. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that most often begins in the outer part of the prostate and may spread to the inner part. This type of cancer is the most common cancer among men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Among African Americans, the disease is more prevalent. In this year alone, 40,000 men will die from prostate cancer. Fortunately, it can often be cured when detected early and effectively treated during its advanced stages. Treatment options for prostate cancer include watchful waiting, hormonal therapy, radiation, brachytherapy and surgery. Prostate,health can be maintained with regular checkups, healthy lifestyle and dietary supplements. The American Cancer Society, the American Urological Association, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network do believe that the majority of available evidence, though not conclusive, supports the view that prostate cancer screening can save lives. Men who are 50 years of age or over should receive an annual prostate examination, which includes a digital rectal examination and a prostate specific antigen blood test. Men who have a family history of prostate cancer or who are Afncan-American should initiate annual screenings at the age of 40. Those interested in parti e- I I,. i ipating in Holzer's free screening must have no per: sonal history of prostate cancer; no prostate surgery within one year; no regular follow-up by a physician; and be 50 years of age or .older. Additional qualifications could include individ·uals 40 or older with the following risk factors : family history of prostate cancer or African American. To schedule an appointment for a free screening, call Pam Hankinson at HMC at (740) 446-5055, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until4 p.m. Registration is limited to the tirst I 00 eligible men, and registration deadline is Thursday, Sept. 20 at 4 p.m. For. more information 011 the screening. call Bonnie McFarla11d, RN, BSN, director.

The annual "homecQming" Sunday on Sept. 16 will be the culmination of a year of observances. In 1851 , a group of likeminded Christians from the Rodney area established the Rodney Methodist Episcopal Church anq met at Roscoe ·Fox 's store until their new church could be built. The village of Rodney was laid out in lots by Henry Coverstone in 1830. On Oct. 4, 1856, the trustees of the new congregation purchased a parcel of land (lot #13) from George and Polly Smith for $20 on which to build the church. Construction began in 1857, usin~ bricks of native clay baked m a kiln from what later became the Joe DeLille farm. Originally, the church had two front entrances, one for women and one for men, who were seated on opposite sides of the sanctuary. Tl}e sanctuary was equipped with curved oak pews that are still in use some showing evidence of being too close to the pot bellied stoves. Two early ministers were the Rev. A.D. Ebright and the Rev. W.H. Gibbins. The pulpit stand, still in use today, was given in memory of Rev. Gibbins by his two daughters. In 1905, the two front entries were replaced with a com· mon entrance. · In 1948, the two pot-bellied stoves were replaced by fuel oil heaters. In 1'950, the front vestibule was added, the entire structure was stuccoed, a concrete wall~: was poured to the road in front, the grounds were landscaped and, realizing that the automobile was here to stay, the horse-hitching rails were removed. In 1954, the last year of. the Rev. .. C. E. Eyre's ministry, the sanctuary was remodeled. The communion table, chairs and piano were given in memory of Martin Vollborn by his·sisters, Mrs. Carl Ewing and Mrs. Herbert Waddell. Brass collection plates were given by Emma Louise Echelmeyer in memory of her mother Nellie Soles Echelmeyer. The pulpit Bible was given by Mrs. Minnie Ewing in memory of her mother, Mrs. Magdalene Vollbom. From 1958 thru 1960, under the leadership of the Rev. Charles W. Hill, four Sunday school classrooms, divided by sliding doors, were built. A new gas furnace was installed and more concrete walk was added to the east side of the church. In 1965, swinging doors were installed between the sanctuary and vestibule in memory of Mr. and Mrs. William Miller and storm doors entering . the vestibule were given by Mr. and Mrs. Joe D. Miller in memory of Mrs. Edith Spear. In 1968, two significant changes were made. The Methodist and Unite'd Brethren churches were merged to form the United Meihodist Church. The organization now called United Methodist Women replaced the Women's Society of Christian Service that had once been known as the Ladies Aid Society. In 1974, during the ministry of the Rev. Daryl Forman, the inside of the sanctuary was again 'remodeled. The wooden flooring was removed and replaced with a concrete floor and the walls were re-plastered. A walnut cross made by James Blevins in memory· ,, of his father, Virgil E. Blevins, was placed above the communion table. The remodeling effort became an immediate priority when, upon leaving worship service one Sunday morning, Mrs. f\ugusta "Gustie" Powell's foot and leg went through a weak spot in the wooden floor. In 1976, three lots behind the church were purchased in order to add an educational wing. Then, in 197778, during the Rev. Damon Stapleton's ministry, the new wing was constructed. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on Sunday evening, July 10. This event was commemorated by a portrait of all who were present given by Dale Lear. The new addition was consecrated in ceremonies on June 4, 1978. · The Rev. .Hughey Jones, assistant to the Bishop and Rev. Wesley Clarke, Athens District superintendent, were the guest speakers. In 1980, a parcel of land at the corner of Cora Mill and Vanco roads was given to the church by Roy and Mary Sayre as a site for a new parsonage. It was completed the following year and dedicated on Sept. 20, 1981, in a ceremony led by the Rev. Marcia Rummel. On July 27, 1995, light· ning struck the roof and the resulung fire severely dam· aged the sanctuary. Thanks to the efforts of the Gallipolis Volunteer Fire Department, , the original pews and other contents of the sanctuary were saved. Reconstruction and a total refurbishing of the sanctuary · began in November 1995, including refinishing the original pews. On Sunday, March 10, 1996, a re-dedi· cation service was held with the Rev. James Waugh, Than!~ You Sears Athens District superintendent, and Pasior Arland King conducting the service. In 1996, the present organ was donated in memory of Ida Gabrielli Blevins by Jim and Nancy Blevins. On Nov. 22, 1998, a dedication service for the Rodney United Community Methodist Center was conducted by Pastor Arland King.

At the time of her diagnosis, Nancy didn't understand the seventy of her condition as doctors informed her that the cancer had been in her body for some time. "It really didn't sink in until I went in 'for my first chemo treatment," she said. "It just goes to show, it doesn't always hit where you think it's going to hit." She got used to the o, and it doesn't bothr much anymore. When returns home from treat· ment, she rests only a little and then goes about ber day. The year particularly became tough when Nancy's husband passed away in April.

The screening is being offered in observance of Prostate Health Month. Physicians who will conduct the screenings include Drs. Nicolette Jones, Subhash Khosla and Lawrence Yodlowski. Assisting will be She! Da\Vson, MSN, CUNP, certified urology nurse practi· tioner at Holzer Clinic. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that most often begins in the outer part of the prostate and may spread to the inner part. This type of cancer is the most common cancer among men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Among African Americans, the disease is more prevalent. In this year alone, 40,000 men will die from prostate cancer. Fortunately, it can often be cured when detected early and effectively treated during its advanced stages. Treatment options for prostate cancer include watchful waiting, hormonal therapy, radiation, brachytherapy and surgery. Prostate,health can be maintained with regular checkups, healthy lifestyle and dietary supplements. The American Cancer Society, the American Urological Association, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network do believe that the majority of available evidence, though not conclusive, supports the view that prostate cancer screening can save lives. Men who are 50 years of age or over should receive an annual prostate examination, which includes a digital rectal examination and a prostate specific antigen blood test. Men who have a family history of prostate cancer or who are Afncan-American should initiate annual screenings at the age of 40. Those interested in parti e- I I,. i ipating in Holzer's free screening must have no per: sonal history of prostate cancer; no prostate surgery within one year; no regular follow-up by a physician; and be 50 years of age or .older. Additional qualifications could include individ·uals 40 or older with the following risk factors : family history of prostate cancer or African American. To schedule an appointment for a free screening, call Pam Hankinson at HMC at (740) 446-5055, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until4 p.m. Registration is limited to the tirst I 00 eligible men, and registration deadline is Thursday, Sept. 20 at 4 p.m. For. more information 011 the screening. call Bonnie McFarla11d, RN, BSN, director.

The annual "homecQming" Sunday on Sept. 16 will be the culmination of a year of observances. In 1851 , a group of likeminded Christians from the Rodney area established the Rodney Methodist Episcopal Church anq met at Roscoe ·Fox 's store until their new church could be built. The village of Rodney was laid out in lots by Henry Coverstone in 1830. On Oct. 4, 1856, the trustees of the new congregation purchased a parcel of land (lot #13) from George and Polly Smith for $20 on which to build the church. Construction began in 1857, usin~ bricks of native clay baked m a kiln from what later became the Joe DeLille farm. Originally, the church had two front entrances, one for women and one for men, who were seated on opposite sides of the sanctuary. Tl}e sanctuary was equipped with curved oak pews that are still in use some showing evidence of being too close to the pot bellied stoves. Two early ministers were the Rev. A.D. Ebright and the Rev. W.H. Gibbins. The pulpit stand, still in use today, was given in memory of Rev. Gibbins by his two daughters. In 1905, the two front entries were replaced with a com· mon entrance. · In 1948, the two pot-bellied stoves were replaced by fuel oil heaters. In 1'950, the front vestibule was added, the entire structure was stuccoed, a concrete wall~: was poured to the road in front, the grounds were landscaped and, realizing that the automobile was here to stay, the horse-hitching rails were removed. In 1954, the last year of. the Rev. .. C. E. Eyre's ministry, the sanctuary was remodeled. The communion table, chairs and piano were given in memory of Martin Vollborn by his·sisters, Mrs. Carl Ewing and Mrs. Herbert Waddell. Brass collection plates were given by Emma Louise Echelmeyer in memory of her mother Nellie Soles Echelmeyer. The pulpit Bible was given by Mrs. Minnie Ewing in memory of her mother, Mrs. Magdalene Vollbom. From 1958 thru 1960, under the leadership of the Rev. Charles W. Hill, four Sunday school classrooms, divided by sliding doors, were built. A new gas furnace was installed and more concrete walk was added to the east side of the church. In 1965, swinging doors were installed between the sanctuary and vestibule in memory of Mr. and Mrs. William Miller and storm doors entering . the vestibule were given by Mr. and Mrs. Joe D. Miller in memory of Mrs. Edith Spear. In 1968, two significant changes were made. The Methodist and Unite'd Brethren churches were merged to form the United Meihodist Church. The organization now called United Methodist Women replaced the Women's Society of Christian Service that had once been known as the Ladies Aid Society. In 1974, during the ministry of the Rev. Daryl Forman, the inside of the sanctuary was again 'remodeled. The wooden flooring was removed and replaced with a concrete floor and the walls were re-plastered. A walnut cross made by James Blevins in memory· ,, of his father, Virgil E. Blevins, was placed above the communion table. The remodeling effort became an immediate priority when, upon leaving worship service one Sunday morning, Mrs. f\ugusta "Gustie" Powell's foot and leg went through a weak spot in the wooden floor. In 1976, three lots behind the church were purchased in order to add an educational wing. Then, in 197778, during the Rev. Damon Stapleton's ministry, the new wing was constructed. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on Sunday evening, July 10. This event was commemorated by a portrait of all who were present given by Dale Lear. The new addition was consecrated in ceremonies on June 4, 1978. · The Rev. .Hughey Jones, assistant to the Bishop and Rev. Wesley Clarke, Athens District superintendent, were the guest speakers. In 1980, a parcel of land at the corner of Cora Mill and Vanco roads was given to the church by Roy and Mary Sayre as a site for a new parsonage. It was completed the following year and dedicated on Sept. 20, 1981, in a ceremony led by the Rev. Marcia Rummel. On July 27, 1995, light· ning struck the roof and the resulung fire severely dam· aged the sanctuary. Thanks to the efforts of the Gallipolis Volunteer Fire Department, , the original pews and other contents of the sanctuary were saved. Reconstruction and a total refurbishing of the sanctuary · began in November 1995, including refinishing the original pews. On Sunday, March 10, 1996, a re-dedi· cation service was held with the Rev. James Waugh, Than!~ You Sears Athens District superintendent, and Pasior Arland King conducting the service. In 1996, the present organ was donated in memory of Ida Gabrielli Blevins by Jim and Nancy Blevins. On Nov. 22, 1998, a dedication service for the Rodney United Community Methodist Center was conducted by Pastor Arland King. Prior to the church's acquisilion of the building, it was the Rodney Grange meeting place and was .originally the Rodney Grade School. In 2004, the original steeple was removed and replaced. Tbe ~roject was funded with gifts m memory of Clyde and Ethel Hammons, Elva Holbrook and the congregation. Part of the original steeple was restored and is displayed in its original form. A cross and dedication plaque made from the original steeple wood hangs in the sanctuary. Dedication, on Homecoming Sunday, Sept. 19. 2004, was conducted by Pastor Jay Nesselroad. This · Homecomin g Sunday will be a very spe· cial day for the church. The celebration begins at I 0 a.m. with morning service featuring special music by the Builders Quartet and The Forgiven 4.

You hear that a movie like "3:10 to Yuma" is being remade and the immediate reaction is, "Why?" The 1957 Western, about an intellectual outlaw and the indebted rancher who's volunteered to help deliver him to prison, was solid and still holds up well today. So it's a wonderful sur· prise to discover that this new version, starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale and directed by James Mangold, not only remains true to its roots but expands on them in ways tbat are thrilling and thoroughly entertaining. Moviegoers aren't exactly clamoring for a Western these days, and a master work of the genre hasn't come along since "Unforgiven" in 1992. But the acting is so powerful hj:re and the craftsmanship is so superb, it's bound to draw fans both old and new, and deservedly so. Based on the short story by Elmore Leonard, and maintaining his flair for compelling, complicated bad guys, the film follows the unlikely alliance that fonns between the dangerous Ben Wade (Crowe) and the damaged Dan Evans (Bale) over the course of a couple of days in the craggy Arizona desert. • The original, directed by Delmer Daves from a script by Halsted Welles, starred Glenn Ford as Wade and Van Heflin as Evans. Mangold ("Walk the Line"), working from a script by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, gives us a deeper understanding of these key players and broadens the roles of several peripheral figures. Peter Fonda leads the strong supporting cast as an explosive bounty hunter who's not to be underestimated ~ despite his advancing age, but the wiry Ben Foster nearly upstages hi s more fam'ous co-stars as Wade's loyal but' volatile right-hand man. (Even though it's barely September, it's never too early for Oscar talk, as we know, with Crowe and Bale understandably earning the majority of the buzz. But don't forget about Fosterhe's so intense and unpredictable, you can't take your eyes off him. ) PageC&.

Main Street Pomeroy, OH • 992-2891 "You get what you pay for!" the saying goes. And then there 's a slightly more modern version that we ' ve come up with that we feel is more in keeping with the times : "You can get stuck with it no matter what you pay for it!" We as consumers are all too trusting and - p'ardon us - far too gullible. In the old days our great grandparents purchased most of their wares directly or almost directly fl·om the perso n who made the product . Now the origin is likely millions of miles away. As real-life remodeling contractors we get the opportunity to work with hundreds of different brands iQ every price range. And whatever the price, it makes no difference - the products all get handled in a similar fashion. What we have di scovered is that there is not one company that can absolutely guarantee a pain-free purchase, and th1s includes the socalled upscale brands. No matter how expensive they are, modern products are handled . by multiple companies. Here's an example: A plumbing fixture may be made by a very reputable company employing extremely careful employees, or by some not so careful. The product is boxed and turned over to the shipping department, who hires a freight company to ship the Get the picture' product to the distributor on When you open the box the other coast.

It probably won't make a difference that the item is still in its original wrapping or that the shipping warranty is unconditional. Our best ad vice, regard less of what you purchase or who you purchase it from, is to open the box before you leave the store if you can, but at least open and inspect it on the day of the purchase.

That's because in a small space the accessories, colors and accents you use will be much more visible than in a larger room where they tend not to be the main focus. Flooring is one important area of consideration. There are many flooring materials that are appropriate for bathrooms, it just comes down to choosing the one thai fits your budget and lifestyle. There are some materials, such as hardwood, that aren't appropriate, and are better left for other areas of the home. in a bathroom that receives frequent use. Larger tiles that require fewer grout lines during install ati on will be easier to keep clean and prevent mildew. On the downside, because of their durability, tile is a long-term commitment, so be sure you like the style and color before making it a permanent addition to the bathroom. Also, tile can be cold underfoot, so throw rugs or hydronic heating systems in the flooring may be necessary. When choosing tile, look for textured options that won 't be as slippery as glazed ones. Vinyl' flooring Vinyl flooring is a very inexpensive option and one with an easy installation most homeowners can tackle on their own.

For the experienced do-it-yo~lfer, tile can be relatively easy to install, but many homeowners prefer to leave this task to a. professional. Tile is very durable, so it's a good choice For those with larger budgets, marble, granite, travertine and other natural stone can be brought into the bathroom. However, some of these materi'als will develop water stains and may need to be specially sealed. Consult with a reputable installer before making the investment. . PageD~ Only modest changes by govemment in computerized rating of travelers for terrorism potential, A2 Sunday, September 9, 2ooj ........ ~ Home value experts warn: Think before you improv~ w~~~l~~~ ~;::g~;erir~~~~ n se are dec tdmg that now ts the time to buy or sell before it 's too late . Whether rou want . to sell, or just tmprove your home's value before you tap into your equity, here are five things experts s u gg~s t you consider before call ing your bank ur putting the "for sale" sign on your lawn. Make Only Reno.vations That Count. Experts agree that the right renovations, especially bathrooms and kitchens, affect the marketability of your home. Bathrooms have become a popular remodeling choice, and for good reason - they have the highest rate of return of any home addition or home remodel. Real estate agents agree that a gleaming kitchen with stateof-the-art appliances, cork or hardwood flooring, stone countertop and lots of cupboard space can sell a house the instant a prospective buyer sees it. Con¥ersely, a cramped, ill-lit kitchen with outdated linoleum and harvest gold appliances might actually scare buyers away. Imgrove What You Can t Renovate. If you can't afford to renovate, update and . refresh key rooms instead. Replacing an old countertop, repainting cupboards and walls, and installing new door pulls and lighting make big improvements to · your kitchen · for a very modest price. Similar touches mcrease the appeal of older bathrooms, too. Fresh paint throughout your home is another low-cost, highreturn· project - it makes everything look cleaner and brighter, and buyers love a house they won't have to redecorate immediately. Maintain Where You Can. Depending on the age of your house, you can expect to spend between I •; Make home -· improy~:; ; ments : : that witl : offer '"e' ' •'' best w returrron· your • invest- ' •• ment. ····' . . ....

Your maintenance budget should increase as your house·ages, so remember to include funds to replace major systems as required. Foundations and roofs are things that are difficult to inspect,but in the long run minor repairs can save you about ten times the cost of work necessary to replace or rebuild. · Don't Overimprove. Before you comni.it to . any big project, ask, "Is this three-car garage or pool oui of character for my neighborhood?" If the answer is · yes, you may be consigning your house to an oddity status.

REEDSVILLE - Ohio Governor Ted Strickland thanked local supporters who helped him win election and discussed the role Ohio will likely play in next year's presidential election during an appearance at a Sunday fundraiser in Reedsville. Athens Attorney Frank Lavelle and his wife, Jean Ann, hosted the event at their home to benefit the Meigs County Democratic Party. Strickland cited the new expanded Homestead Exemption program, which reduces real estate taxes for homeowners over 65 years of age and those homeowners who are disabled, as one of the most important initiatives of his administration. The expanded program, passed by the Ohio legislature earlier this year, provides a tax credit to one in four Ohio property owners. Strickland said the program reduces property taxes for some Meigs County residents by as much as two thirds . Increased availability of child health care through the state system means all children in the state are insured, Strickland said, and a two-year freeze in tuition at state universities and colleges will help more students get a higher education. "That's pretty good for eight months, don't you think,'' Strickland said, "but we still haven't solved all of our problems." Democratic faithful from Athens, Washington, Monroe and other southeastern Ohio counties also attended the event, including many state employees and Strickland appointees. Strickland recogni zed U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson, DBridgeport, and Athens City Council Member Please see Strickland. AS Brian J.
