While there may not be rides, entertainment, the kiddie tractor pull or some of the other fair traditions, there will still be livestock shows, some projects on display, and some of your favorite local fair foods to enjoy. The Meigs County Fair announced earlier this week the five local food vendors who will be set up at the fairgrounds next week.

In tribute to Fowler, and keeping his dream alive, that conversation is being reprinted here.) POINT PLEASANT — “This is going to be a real disaster. We’re going to lose an awful lot here today.” OHIO VALLEY — Communities in Southeast Ohio are receiving a total of $52 million in low-interest and principal forgiveness funding from Ohio EPA to improve wastewater and drinking water infrastructure and make other water quality improvements. The loans were approved between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2020. The lower interest rates and principal forgiveness will save these communities more than $20.3 million. Statewide, Ohio EPA awarded approximately $466.5 million in loans during the first half of the year, including $25.5 million in principal forgiveness. Combined, Ohio communities will save more than $90.9 million when compared to market-rate loans. The projects are improving Ohio’s surface water quality and the reliability and quality of Ohio drinking water systems. The loans include funds to 18 counties to help low-income property owners repair or replace failing home septic systems; these loans do not have to be repaid. For the first half of 2020, the following local projects are receiving funding: Leading Creek Conservancy District is receiving $6.9 million to replace the existing water line with a See JACK | 8 See EPA | 12 ‘Our Town: Gallipolis’ to premiere virtually By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com GALLIPOLIS — “Our Town: Gallipolis” by WOUB, will premiere for free on the virtual platform OVEE on Sept. 17 at 6:30 p.m. Originally scheduled to for a March 22 premiere at Gallia Academy High School, “Our Town: Gallipolis” is an hourlong documentary film that looks at the history of the Gallia County community. Gallipolis is the seventh community featured in the Our Town series, which is produced and directed by 13-time Emmy Award winner Evan Shaw. With COVID-19 stopping the premiere from happening in March, Shaw and WOUB had to try another method of getting their documentary out. “We’ve been trying to figure out a way to have a screening,” Shaw said. “Usually when we do these we hold them in a high school gym or auditorium. We invite the public out, it’s a big event, we did one in Pomeroy in 2015 and we had 700 people come out to Meigs High School. With everything going on, there’s just no way to get 500-or-600 people in a theatre safely. As the summer has gone on, we decided that instead of making people wait until the world is back to normal, because we have no idea when AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) that’s going to be, we wanted to find a way to do it virtually. “We’re working with a platform, OVEE, which is used by a lot of PBS stations. People can go to woub.org and find a link to pre-register, and that’s so we have an idea of how many people are watching. We want to keep track of that since we’re not in a building together.” Shaw noted an advantage of a virtual platform is being able to add to the film. “There will be some introductory remarks from myself, and some people at WOUB, and then we’ll get into the film,” said Shaw. “It’s neat because we can do some inter- active stuff, we can have polls, or fun facts about the film, things like that pop up at the bottom.” After the premiere, the documentary will air on WOUB-TV on Monday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The documentary will look back at notable residents Bob Evans, Grandma Gatewood, Henry Norman, and Bevo Francis and also explores the town’s first settlers, the Silver Bridge, and Gallipolis’ connection to the sinking of the Titanic. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Each has their own set of characteristics, but they all share two common things — they affect the way your body regulates blood sugar (glucose), and they are surrounded by many misconceptions. Knowing the facts about diabetes is an integral part of helping patients stay involved with their medical care. Not only does being health literate help increase communication with your doctor, but you can also be well-informed to make decisions about your care. Here are the real facts about diabetes you should know: Myth #1 - I don’t have to worry if diabetes doesn’t run in my family. While family history is one of the risk factors, it’s not the only way you can develop diabetes. There are many factors for each type that can put someone at risk.

Eight of the active cases remain hospitalized, with nine previous hospitalizations. diabetes. Unfortunately, there is no cure for diabetes, but it is a manageable disease. Along with a good diet and exercise regimen, insulin is used to help control and stabilize blood sugar levels. Myth #5 - If I get Diabetes, I’ll never be able to eat sugar again. Just because you have diabetes does not mean you have to deprive yourself of all things sweet. However, you must pay close attention to your carbohydrate intake. Carbohydrates increase blood sugar levels, so moderation is key. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, it’s always best to consult your doctor on your specific dietary needs. If you or a loved one suffer from diabetes, Pleasant Valley Hospital can help.

The Summer Crisis program will run through Sept. 30. According to Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency, the length of the program has been extended this year, and the eligibility requirements have been expanded so more Ohioans can be helped, especially with the current health crisis created by COVID-19. “We are working every day to help Ohians in need,” Mihalik said. The Summer Crisis Program assists low-income households with an older household member (at least 60 years of age or older), or households which can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member’s health. Examples of conditions include Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Bronchitis, and other lung diseases.

Eligible households can receive up to $500 if they are customers of a regulated utility, or up to $800 if they are customers of unregulated utilities such as electric cooperatives or municipal utilities companies. The assistance can be applied to their utility bill, or may be used to purchase an air-conditioning unit or fan, or pay for central airconditioning repairs. Ohioans must have a gross income at or below 175% of the federal poverty guidelines. For example, a family of four earning at or below $45,850 would be eligible for the program.

IN BRIEF Thousands in Belarus decry president’s reelection MINSK, Belarus (AP) — Thousands of protesters rallied in Belarus’ capital and other cities for a fourth straight night Wednesday, decrying an election they say was rigged to extend the 26-year rule of the country’s authoritarian leader and the crackdown on subsequent demonstrations. In several parts of Minsk, groups of hundreds of people formed human chains. Motorists blared horns in support and, in some areas, slowed to a crawl to block police vehicles. On one avenue, people stood on balconies, clapping in an expression of support. Riot police fired rubber bullets at them. Similar protests were held in at least five other cities, according to the Viasna rights group, to contest the official election results, which show President Alexander Lukashenko won a sixth term with 80% of Sunday’s vote and the main opposition challenger garnered 10%. Crowds have taken to the streets every night since to demand a recount. �Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, August 13, 2020 5 2020 READER’S CHOICE BEST OF THE BEST TRI-COUNTY VOTES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY AUGUST 21ST.

Fowler, the director of the museum, said that hot day this past summer, he was in the Bridge 1 pilothouse simulator with a couple visiting from Parkersburg and their children. When he began walking back to his office on the second floor, Ruth Fout, museum staff member, alerted him the fire alarm sounded. He simultaneously noticed the hanging light in the Jean-Ann pilothouse replica went off and quickly discerned the two were related. Fowler swiftly made his way to the pilothouse and just as he entered the door, fire literally broke through the top of the ceiling from the third floor, jetting out above his head. “I knew then, we’ve got a problem,” Fowler said. Around that time, local riverboat pilot Mark Kincaid, was traveling up the stairs from the first floor, grabbing a fire extinguisher and entering the pilothouse replica, the only place where the fire would break through to the second floor. With Kincaid in the pilothouse, Fowler and staff immediately advised visitors in the building (estimated to be around 15 in number) to exit as Martha Fout, another staff member at the museum, called 911 for help. Ruth grabbed her belongings from her second floor office, noticing a soot-like material landing on her arms as she left. Fowler then pulled down the retractable stairs from the attic to allow firefighters access to the fire but when they arrived, Fowler said the smoke was already so thick, they would not be able to battle the fire from that vantage point. The fire would have to be fought pumping water onto the roof in an effort to save the building and contain the blaze. Fowler guessed the fire had been burning for some time before it reached the point of breaking through the pilothouse ceiling and due to circular roof vents pulling the smoke out, no one smelled the smoke or knew what was happening in the 135-year old structure until the fire alarm sounded that July afternoon. “Nineteen years working on that building and then to have it all just disappear like that…it was difficult to watch,” Fowler said about that fateful day. The third floor attic in the museum contained Waterways Journals from 1923 to the mid-1980s, as well as other items in storage and once the flames hit those items, “it took off,” Fowler guessed, adding it appears the fire was electrical in nature. “It was all afternoon before flames came through the roof…that’s when you realized that it’s not a little fire, it’s ruined,” Ruth said. For Fowler, the building which housed the museum had been a part of his entire life, having been born two blocks away on First Street. As a child, his mother would take he and his brother to the building, then a grocery store, where he would get (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Ohio Valley Publishing Ed Lowe | Courtesy Photo The late Jack Fowler tosses a memorial wreath into the Ohio River at the conclusion of a service for deceased river men and women at the 2019 Tribute to the River.

In what Fowler described as a heroic effort, though the losses were many, thanks to the efforts of the firefighters as well as volunteers helping to carry out the artifacts and exhibits in the moments and days after the fire, the loss wasn’t as severe as it could have been. When it came to the helpless feeling of possibly losing all those items that day of the fire, Fowler said, “so many things that went through my mind that day…’can I get to it, can we get someone to it?’” Volunteers filled pickup after pickup to get the items and materials out of the museum almost as soon as word spread about the fire. “We didn’t even know some of the people,” Ruth said. Many of the artifacts were taken to the City of Point Pleasant’s Youth Center to be cleaned. “When I saw all the people there working to clean and salvage…that touched me,” Fowler said. “To know that many people really cared. It was amazing how they responded.” Fowler said he’s anxious to begin work on the new building, and though there may’ve been times he was discouraged at this process, he is energized by the fact he’s done this before and has a plan to put it back together. “It’s going to be an attractive museum when we put it all back together,” he said. “I just hope we can build something the community can be proud of.” When asked if he thinks there’s a purpose for everything, particularly the year the museum has had, Fowler said, “There’s a purpose. I don’t know what it is yet, but it’ll show.” Plans are currently underway to construct the river museum’s new home in the 300-block of Main Street.

The Big 12 Conference reaffirmed its decision to press on with college football and other fall sports Wednesday, joining the Atlantic Coast and Southeastern conferences in taking the field amid the coronavirus pandemic. The move came one day after the Big Ten and Pac-12 announced they would not be participating this fall. There is a chance the other two Power Five leagues will push their seasons to the spring, but that remains to be determined. In the meantime, the Big 12 board of directors approved a plan to begin fall sports after Sept. 1 with football playing a schedule in which each team can play one non-conference game before league play begins Sept. 26. The schools will all play each other to give them 10 total games with the Big 12 title game scheduled for Dec. 12. The league’s schools have agreed to enhanced COVID19 testing that includes three tests per week in “high contact” sports such as football, volleyball and soccer. Rigorous testing that includes echocardiograms, a cardiac MRI and blood tests will be required before athletes can return to play. All non-conference opponents also must adhere to Big 12 standards. “The virus continues to evolve and medical professionals are learning more with each passing week,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement. “We are comfortable in our institutions’ ability to provide a structured training environment, rigorous testing and surveillance, hospital quality sanitation and mitigation practices that optimize the health and safety of our student-athletes. We believe all of this combines to create an ideal learning and training situation.” Lightning outlast Blue Jackets 3-2 TORONTO (AP) — By the time he launched the last shot, Brayden Point was just trying to do anything he could to end the fourth-longest game in NHL history. “I just see a rolling puck and I just throw it on net,” Point said after scoring 10:27 into the fifth overtime to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets in their playoff opener Tuesday. “I’m not really aiming,” he added. “Just sling one there and lucky enough it finds a corner.” Point scored from just above the left circle, beating Joonas Korpisalo after the goaltender made an NHL-record 85 saves. The 24-year-old forward also scored way back in the first period of Game 1 of the best-of-seven series. Vezina Trophy finalist Andrei Vasilevskiy bought time for Point and Co. with 61 saves for Tampa Bay. The teams combined for 151 shots — most in an NHL game since the league began officially tracking the statistic in 1955-56. “It’s tiring for sure but then it gets fun at some point,” Point said. “I don’t know how many guys played a game like that, that long. It was an exciting one.” The teams are meeting in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year, with the Lightning looking to rebound from being swept 16 months ago by the underdog Blue Jackets, who became the first No. 8 seed to oust the winner of the Presidents’ Trophy in four games. Pierre-Luc Dubois scored on the power play and Oliver Bjorkstrand added a goal late in the second period to give Columbus — the No. 7 seed in the See LIGHTNING | 10 Southern edges Marauders at Meigs GC By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY, Ohio — A shot here and shot there ultimately made all the difference, Visiting Southern claimed a 2-stroke victory over Meigs on Tuesday during a non-conference dual held at Meigs Golf Course. The Tornadoes had three of the top five individual efforts and posted a winning tally of 187, with the host Marauders coming in right behind with a 189. The Southern duo of Jacob Milliron and Lance Stewart, as well as Bailey Jones of Meigs, all shared medalist honors with identical 11-over par rounds of 45. Tanner Lisle was next for SHS with a 47, while Ryan Laudermilt completed the winning tally with a 50. David Shaver and Jesse Caldwell also added respective efforts of 51 and 66 for the Tornadoes. Payton Brown followed Jones for MHS with a 46 and Coen Hall was next with a 48. Gunner Peavley and Landon McGee both posted matching rounds of 50 as well. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Ohio quarterback Nathan Rourke (12) calls out signals before the start of play during a non-conference football game against Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium on Sept. 22, 2018, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bobcats are one of many teams hoping to resume football in the spring after their fall schedule was canceled due to coronavirus concerns. College football in spring: When? Who plays? By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Back in April, not long after the NCAA basketball tournament was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, the idea of moving the 2020 college football to the spring of 2021 already was being tossed around. A last resort is what it was called by conference commissioners and athletic directors. When it looked as if the U.S. might be winning its fight against COVID19, the idea of a spring season mostly fell by the wayside. “We broached it very little in our AD meetings and really haven’t gotten serious about it at all,” Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said Tuesday. “I had one AD from another league call and just talk about it a little bit.” Time to start talking about it a lot. The Big Ten and Pac-12 postponed fall football on Tuesday, hoping to salvage a spring season like the Mid-American Conference and Mountain West plan to do. What that looks like is anybody’s guess, but officials in those conferences need to figure out everything from how to prepare in the fall to how much to play in the spring, where in the calendar it could fit and who exactly is going to be suiting up for these teams? Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said before a spring football season is planned, there has to be a discussion about fall 2021. “I think the two have to be tied together. In my mind, we’ve made the decision and we’ve canceled the 2020 season,” Chryst said. “Now how do we want to do 2021?” Todd Berry is the executive director of the American Football Coaches Association and a member of the NCAA’s football oversight committee. He said conversations about a spring football season have been minimal, but there has been a theme. “We would all like to go into next fall with some kind of normalcy,” he said. “Protecting next fall becomes pretty significant.” So it’s safe to assume any spring season is going to be substantially shorter than the usual 12 regular-season games. Chryst played in what was known at the time as the World League of American Football and later become NFL Europe. Occasionally players from that spring league would end up on NFL rosters the following fall. “It’s a long season,” Chryst said. Former NCAA executive and college football player Mark Lewis said playing two full seasons or even close to that should be a nonstarter. “If you look back to the last 20 years of college football, there’s been a de-emphasis of spring activity, spring practice, the number of days you can practice, the number of days you can practice with pads, the number of contact practices you can have. All those have been reduced with purpose,” Lewis said. “What are you gaining by playing in spring if you’re trying to add more games? I don’t think that’s necessarily a good idea.” Before football can be played in the spring there has to be a plan for a fall without games. Berry said teams are not likely to send players home. Schools have generally done a good job mitigating the virus’s spread during voluntary workouts and noncontact practices over the last month. Whether that keeps up when schools starts remains to be seen, even with some schools doing most or all of their classes online. Still, the schools have a blueprint. Berry said it’s possible to have a modified spring football format in the fall. Exactly when a season could be played in the spring is likely to be determined by the virus on the front end and the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on the back. Would anybody in college sports want football treading on basketball’s main event? Keeping the players in shape might be easier than simply keeping them around. More than two dozen FBS players, including some big stars from the Big Ten such as Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons and receivers Rondale Moore of Purdue and Rashod Bateman of Minnesota, opted out of the 2020 season even before the conference postponed. Will other highly regarded future NFL players such as Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, Oregon offensive lineman Penei Sewell and Penn State tight end Pat Freiermuth bother participating in a spring season? The NFL scouting combine is in late February and the draft is in late April. If the NFL does nothing to accommodate spring college football, some of the sure-thing players are almost certain to leave. The players who needed another year to improve their stock might be more inclined to stay and play. But an injury in the spring could be an even bigger problem when it comes time to earn a spot on an NFL roster in the summer. Maybe players will still try to play in the fall but in another conference. The Southeastern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12, American Athletic Conference, Conference USA and Sun Belt are all still on track to start their seasons in September. With a few weeks to See FOOTBALL | 10 �10 Thursday, August 13, 2020 Football From page 9 go before classes start at most schools, there is still time for a player to transfer, apply for a waiver from the NCAA and be eligible by opening day. “I know when the MAC made their decision, the phones were ringing in a lot of places, many of them quite honestly from other MAC coaches saying we’ve got a kid here, he wants to go, do you have a spot?” Chryst said. “To think that’s not happening would probably be naive.” FBS teams are allowed to sign 25 players per year, recruits or transfers, and at this point in the year most teams will be full or really close to it. Teams that lose players before a spring season could replace them with next year’s signing class. Early enrollment is common for many football players who want to get on campus in time for spring practice. Now, maybe they can get game experience. There is so much to sort out, including the NCAA signing off on a spring football season. “We’ll start diving into that more,” Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said. “At this point in time, we’ll see.” SPORTS Ohio Valley Publishing Masters to be played without fans By Doug Ferguson “Ultimately, we determined that the potential risks of welcoming patrons and guests to The Masters, known as much our grounds in November are simply too significant to overfor the roars as the raw beauty come,” club chairman Fred Ridof Augusta National, will be on mute this year. The club decided ley said. Considered in some circles to Wednesday there will be no specbe the cathedral of golf, Augusta tators. That means all three majors in National now will sound like one. “Part of the allure and kind of this year of COVID-19 will not have fans, and the silence figures majesty of Augusta National is to be most deafening at Augusta the patrons,” Brandt Snedeker said. “You have that electricity National when the Masters is from the first moment on Thursplayed Nov. 12-15. From the opening holes down day morning to the last putt goes in on Sunday night on every to Amen Corner all the way hole. It’s not just on the back through the back nine, players nine — it’s on every hole. So to can often figure out what’s happening with others just by listen- not have that there is going to be a different feeling.” ing. That will be missing this Ridley said the health of year, along with the azalea and dogwood blooms from having to everyone involved with the tournament during the COVIDmove it from April. 19 pandemic was paramount in rescheduling the Masters from April and deciding whether it could have spectators, even a limited gallery. “The guests who come to Augusta each spring from around the world are a key component to making the tournament so special,” he said. “Augusta National has the responsibility, however, to understand and accept the challenges associated with this virus and take the necessary precautions to conduct all aspects of the tournament in a safe manner. “We look forward to the day when we can welcome all of our patrons back, hopefully in April 2021.” He said all tickets will be honored for next April, and the club would contact ticket holders and those who have applied for tickets for next April’s Masters sometime next month. Golf is coming off its first major without fans last week at the PGA Championship. The U.S. Open, moved from June to Sept. 17-20 because of the pandemic, previously announced it won’t have spectators at Winged Foot. The British Open announced in April it would be canceled this year. The lack of noise was noticeable at Harding Park last week for the PGA Championship in San Francisco, especially when Collin Morikawa hit driver to 7 feet on the 16th hole for an eagle that sent him to his first major championship. There were a few media, mainly the broadcast crew, along with a few volunteers and support staff. Lightning playoffs has been a source of motivation for much of the past 16 months, coach Jon Cooper and the Lightning insist this series is about a lot more than redemption. After all, both teams have decidedly different looks, with Artemi Panarin, Sergei Bobrovsky and Matt Duchene no longer with Columbus, and Pat Maroon, Kevin Shattenkirk and Blake Coleman bolstering Tampa Bay’s talent-laden roster. The Lightning played Game 1 without injured captain Steven Stamkos. But Hedman, who appeared to twist an ankle during last Saturday’s round-robin finale against Philadelphia, skated and had an assist on Tampa Bay’s first goal. With goaltender Elvis Merzlikins ruled out for the opener, Korpisalo started for Columbus and kept his team close by stopping 26 of 27 shots in the first two periods. The Lightning pulled even at 2-all on Gourde’s goal just 23 seconds into the third, but weren’t able to finish it off in regulation despite outshooting the Blue Jackets 41-26 up to that point. “You just try to go save by save, not thinking too much,” Korpisalo said. “I think I felt pretty good. The boys, they were battling hard in front of me.” The teams created numerous scoring opportunities in overtime, however Korpisalo and Vasilevskiy remained on top of their games. “Korpi, he was fantastic,” Tortorella said. “It was an unreal performance by both teams, but especially by both goaltenders.,” Hedman said. “They don’t get to sit on the bench for a couple minutes, they have to be sharp the entire time.” Associated Press record 65 minutes, six seconds of ice time, said the officials didn’t say why a penalty was not called.

Daily admission to the fair is $5 so regardless if you are coming for the livestock shows, stop by and grab lunch or dinner from one of the vendors. Gates will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday-Saturday, with the only entrance to be by the dairy barn. Fair attendees are asked to wear masks and social distance from one another as much as possible. Hand sanitizing and washing is encouraged to help prevent the spread of germs with stations being set up around the area. Among the changes this year will be the Junior Fair Awards, Opening Ceremony and Royalty Crowning at noon on Monday in the Ridenour Arena, rather than the traditional Sunday evening opening. In addition, rather than all livestock arriving on Sunday, livestock will arrive the evening before their scheduled show and then remain on the grounds until the sale, other than breeding projects, which may leave after the show. The week of shows will conclude with the Showman of Showmen competition on Friday evening where the week’s best showmen compete for the top honor. Saturday will be the annual Meigs Junior Fair Livestock Sale at 10 a.m. in the Ridenour Arena. Those who are not comfortable attending the livestock sale, but would still like to purchase an animal can contact a senior fair board member for details on having someone bid in their place.
