Staff Report Staff Report RIO GRANDE — Raised Around Rio is entering its third year as the village farm, craft and artisan market of Rio Grande continuing every Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. starting May 2 until Sept. 12 on North College Street. According to previous information from Rio Grande Mayor Matt Easter, the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College have agreed to allow visitors to park nearby. Currently, produce is not as available as other items, said Easter, but as vendors are able to harvest, produce will appear. Bread has been available along with jams and jellies and crafted items. “It’s great to watch the community out here,” said Easter previously. “People aren’t just here to compete but they’re helping others set up their tents right next to each other. It brings a sense of us all together because it’s not just about food. We have folks who crochet items and other stuff. Honestly, you can find something for your mom here pretty easily (said Easter about upcoming Mother’s Day).” According to market organizer Jennifer Littlejohn, the event will also host potential local music acts and children’s activities throughout the year. Crafter and artisan demonstration will be had to display how given vendors create their projects. Littlejohn and Easter had spoken a few years back about getting a market together. Easter asked Littlejohn if she would eventually like to jump start the project.

I ended up on a park bench across Raccoon Creek from the village park, watching people doing things like fishing, using the playground equipment and knocking a baseball around on the far diamond. The walk and witnessing everyday recreation did a lot to cheer me up, and as I recall, I shared my impressions on Facebook. After spending a winter pretty much locked up inside, I too found the outdoors on a bright March afternoon a great place first to Kevin escape, then come to terms with the Kelly insanity we see beyond our corner of Contributing the U.S.A. columnist I and many others had rediscovered the therapeutic effect of communing with nature as it awakened from a prolonged slumber. For a deeper look, I’d recommend Walt Whitman in addition to other poets and authors who have explored the meaning of our connection Taking a walk, even to the environment. Their insights add to if the weather isn’t the appreciation of what as cooperative as it we have in our midst, should, is not only especially as we emerge terrific for physical from what seems like an extended winter and reasons but for all of the poor health it mental well-being helped cause. as well. I’ll take as Taking a walk, even evidence the benefit if the weather isn’t as cooperative as it should, you obtain from a not only terrific for stroll on your nearest is physical reasons but walking trail, wooded for mental well-being path, street or road, as well. I’ll take as evidence the benefit you because if you are obtain from a stroll on alone the act of your nearest walking walking and soaking trail, wooded path, in the surroundings street or road, because prompts thought and if you are alone the act of walking and soaking reflection. in the surroundings prompts thought and reflection. Not that walking singly is the best advice for everyone; being accompanied by a spouse or friend offers a neat distraction from the day’s cares. But there are occasions when, to quote a good friend and avid walker, you are your own best company. The combination of activity with isolation helps stimulate thoughts ranging from problem-solving to what’s for dinner later on. This is not a conclusion from medical or any other kind of science. I’m simply talking about my own experience when I’ve often used the exercise to hash out a writing project so I don’t start out cold with little idea of where to go next. And taking a walk can allow you to think about nothing at all when you’ve spent the whole day up to that point using the old noggin for various and sundry reasons. Only recently, we have learned that caregivers for family members are advised to take a 10-minute ramble when things become too hectic. It is a proven stress reliever. The impact of walking on personal health is well-documented, and you can’t help but believe there’s something to it given the number of people you see doing so. If you’re looking for development of strength and agility, then by all means enroll at the gym and avail yourself of the equipment designed to help reach your goal. But if you’re not into what was once called physical culture and want a less demanding means of preserving your health, then try walking. For wrecks such as myself who have survived a pair of heart attacks, walking is a do-able activity. You may not believe you’ve done yourself a favor when it’s over and can’t wait to sit down, but the good is already taking effect. Think of all of the calories you’ve burned and you’ll be wanting to head out again. As the weather becomes more seasonal, floodwaters recede and checking the bathroom scales becomes an increasingly grim task, think about walking. Hopefully you’ll agree with me it’s for the best. *** Speaking of walking, do some at the annual Buckeye Hills Career Center Expo this weekend in Rio Grande. Open Saturday and Sunday from noon until 5 p.m., the expo features everything spring-related from lawn equipment displays and demonstrations, greenhouse sales and crafts to such sidelights as health care checks, adult education and games. THEIR VIEW Learning to raise readers Why is it important to expose babies, toddlers, and younger children to the world of books? Why is it important to read aloud to babies and toddlers? Why is it important to make reading fun for children? “Children are made readers on the laps of their parents,” surmised Emilie Buchwald. I agree. Parents are a child’s first teachers, first role models, and first communicators; talking, listening, singing, making sounds, smiling, laughing, and hugging. Homes are the building blocks of society. And parents are like the royal family in the United Kingdom—of utmost significance in their castle. In a 2016 Scholastic Study, the results revealed three out of four parents who have children ages 5 and younger start reading aloud before their child reaches his first birthday. And 40 percent of parents reported they started reading when their child was less than three months old. www.scholastic.com/.

We are living in an era of “fake news,” and now we have “fake letters.” Ms. Williams accusations against Keith Faber are based on a “report” by a liberal special interest group that wants Democrat control of the Redistricting Commission. The report is based on hearsay, not facts. She also fails to mention she is the spouse of the Meigs County Democrat Party Chairman. This kind of political gamesmanship is exactly what Rep. Faber was addressing in his speech to the Meigs County Republican Party when he voiced his support for “districts that benefit the voters of the district rather than special interest groups.” The truth is Keith Faber has been working to make Ohio’s process better. He helped craft the Constitutional Amendments to fix gerrymandering for both legislative and congressional districts, and fighting to ensure fairness for our local communities. Sincerely, Dear Editor, Ohio’s Medicaid expansion has been a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of Ohioans, including many rural Ohioans who now have health insurance. But it’s not just patients who benefit under Medicaid expansion: The expansion is also critical to local jobs, particularly jobs connected to rural health care. Holzer Health System, for example, is Gallia County’s largest employer. Without the Medicaid expansion, rural hospitals and health care providers would take a huge financial hit – jeopardizing not only people’s access to health care, but also jobs. With so much at stake, one would think Ohio gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine would take a firm stance on whether he supports continuing Medicaid expansion. Unfortunately, DeWine is refusing to make his position clear. We can’t go back to the days when people had to choose between paying their mortgage or getting the health care they need. Ohio voters deserve to know exactly where Mike DeWine stands. Will he protect our health care and defend Medicaid expansion, or Daniel Lantz will he leave rural Ohioans behind?

The name may not mean much to local TV viewers, but for a kid such as myself watching children’s programming from New York City in the late 1960s and early ’70s, Chuck was just this big, friendly, amazingly talented guy who knew how to get a laugh by simply changing his facial expression. Be it dressing up as Little Orphan Annie (including a curly wig and white tabs covering his eyes for an unforgettably surreal effect) to rushing out of the TV studio to climb atop a taxicab and point to the direction he wanted to go, Chuck worked hard to establish himself with Big Apple audiences before heading out to Hollywood. There he flourished over the years as a voice artist, actor and all-around funnyman who gave one of the best-ever impressions of Oliver Hardy from the premier movie comedy team of the 1920s and ’30s, Laurel and Hardy. Rest in peace, Chuck, and thanks for those memories of late weekday afternoons and Sunday mornings, back in the day.

Outdoor Youth Expo tradition continues By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP POINT PLEASANT — Outdoor activities can come in many forms from fishing and bird watching, to planting flower gardens and even reading, as students learned at this year’s Outdoor Youth Expo. The expo was held Wednesday and Thursday at the National Guard Armory near Point Pleasant, and is sponsored by Pleasant Valley Hospital. The purpose of the expo is to promote awareness of positive, safe, and drug-free activities for students, families, and communities. Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students from Mason County Schools were transported to the expo as a part of their school day. They were treated to presentations, exhibits, and activities. Hundreds of prizes were given away to those attending, including bicycles, fishing poles, camping gear and more. The Three Rivers Avian Center of Brooks, WV presented “Birds of Prey.” The students were given the opportunity to see hawks, eagles, falcons and owls, while learning about each. The center takes in around 250 birds per year, from hummingbirds to eagles. Many have been injured or attempted to be kept as pets, and are non-releasable. The children were also taught ways they can help wild birds avoid the problems they face. New Haven Elementary fifth grade teacher Charlie Tyree is shown being a good sport at the Outdoor Youth Expo, as Rodney Wallbrown demonstrates that a hula hoop being given away works properly. The annual Outdoor Youth Expo, sponsored by Pleasant Valley Hospital, began Wednesday at the National Guard Armory near Point Pleasant, and continues today. Pictured is Owen Edwards, a student at New Haven Elementary School, as he holds a snake at one of the many exhibits. School psychologists Lauren Ott and Debra Eddy presented “Bullying 101,” an anti-bullying campaign in which the children learned the “Big 3.” If a situation includes the Big 3, then it is truly bullying. They are: 1.) intentionally trying to harm someone, either physically or emotionally; 2.) presenting an imbalance of power, as in, “I’m bigger than you,” or “I’m stronger than you,”; and, 3.) doing these things repeatedly. Ott and Eddy also told the students what they can do if they are being bullied or see someone being bullied. The children can speak up, reach out, and be a friend. Many businesses and organizations come together each year to participate in the expo. Superintendent of Schools Jack Cullen said all should be recognized for their dedication and commitment to the event. He noted sponsor Pleasant Valley Hospital, as well as longtime exhibitors Ohio Valley Bank and Thomas Do-It Center. Both provided activities for the students, as well as prizes. Many others do the same, as well, he added. Randy Searls served as emcee of the event, which was dedicated this year to the memory of George Shell, an expo committee member who passed away in January. Free games and books were given to each child attending the Outdoor Youth Expo by the Mason County Schools curriculum department. The exhibit taught the children that reading can be done anywhere, even outside. “A bird in hand is worth two in the bush,” as the old saying goes, but students attending the Outdoor Youth Expo got the chance to see many exotic birds at one of the exhibits. Dozens of bicycles were given away during the Outdoor Youth Expo. Pictured are the winners from the session on Wednesday morning including, from left, Jaden Bridges, Dylan Duff, Savannah Bush, Aden Young, Mylie Young, Kailey Day, and Emma Northup.

Harris stated, “This is our first ever week of appreciation for people who volunteer service or professional lives are working on what we call the front lines of Ohio’s opioid epidemic. In preparation of this week we have prepared tokens of appreciation for some 1,200 people across the three counties that we serve.” Harris explained the idea to have the week of appreciation came up while she was at a meeting in Columbus and made her start thinking of all of the work the first responders have been doing to help the people affected by the opioid epidemic. She, along with her Deputy Director of ADAMHS Angie Stowers pulled together and made the week of April 9 - April 13 an appreciation for first responders. Harris stated, “I don’t need to tell you that this battle seems like a losing battle most days…because of the work you are doing across the state of Ohio, there are thousands of people whose lives have been saved…it is difficult when we are trying to help people change their lives and they appear to not want it, we’ve never seen an addiction like this before.” Harris thanked Paul Reed of Farmer’s Bank, Meigs County Chamber of Commerce, and Holzer Health System for their support and help of putting the ceremony together.
