The KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) members were given applause for accomplishment of weight goal maintenance. All recited the Pledge of Allegiance in unison. TOPS songs, “No More Eatsa Little Pizza” and “Zipping Those Pounds Off” were led by Connie Rankin. Leader Pat Snedden asked for roll call. Roberta Henderson, weight recorder called each member’s name as roll call was taken. This is the time that each person tells whether they have lost, gained or maintained the same weight for the week. Pounds amounts are not required and no member is ever shamed for a gain but instead given encouragement. This Roll Call is a very important part of the TOPS group therapy process. Best loser for the week was Mae Frost. April best loser was Carlene Triplett. Each received a certificate and Mae received the weekly best loser fruit/vegetable basket. It was announced that Dixie Carpenter has returned from Alabama and will be returning to Chapter meetings beginning next week. Dixie is a long time TOPS member who resides in Alabama but returns to Ohio and attends our chapter during the Spring/Summer months. Two new members joined the Chapter: Mary Bush and Mary Beth Morrison. Each member introduced themselves. The Secretary’s report was given by Glenda Hunt and was without corrections or additions. The Treasure’s report was given by Judy Morgan. New contest ideas were explored and the group decided on the “Card Game”. This is where each member is given a regular deck card for losing weight, staying for the support meeting, keeping a food chart, exercising and for encouraging another member. It will run for 6 weeks beginning on May 7. At the end of the 6 weeks points will be scored and the one with the most points will win and receive a prize. Other TOPS Chapter rules were discussed such as a member gets a “charm” for 6 weeks without a weight gain, after the first 15 pound loss members receive a bracelet, water bead use, fruit/ vegetable basket received for being weekly best loser, TOPS Inc monthly magazine, doctor prescribed weight goal written on the physician’s prescription pad and that the TOPS organization has no special diet but has tools to help you develop what works for you. TOPS takes its name seriously: “Take off Pounds Sensibly”. Membership information lists were given to the new members. Group therapy included discussion about how to not diet but to make healthy changes in lifestyle. There was discussion on “fast food” options for healthy eating, drinking 64 ounces of water daily, portion size importance and time of day that foods are consumed. Individuality was discussed in what works for one person may differ from another. The goal is to be healthy. The KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) were introduced individually. Some shared their success stories for the benefit of new members. Leader Pat Snedden encouraged the group not to make drastic changes but to make small changes that are not overwhelming as this can be counterproductive in weight loss. She also advised that staying away from meetings because of weight gain is not a good idea. This is when a TOPS member needs the encouragement of others. All agreed that the TOPS support group is the best therapy. Because laughter is truly the best medicine members shared funny stories or jokes toward the end of the meeting. It was then adjourned with the “Helping Hand” circle. For more information about TOPS or about joining the chapter’s support meetings call Leader, Pat Snedden at 740-541-9696. The weekly meetings are on Monday at 6 p.m. and last about an hour. Submitted by Kathy McDaniel.

Boy Scouts change name of flagship program NEW YORK (AP) — For 108 years, the Boy Scouts of America’s flagship program has been known simply as the Boy Scouts. With girls soon entering the ranks, the group says that iconic name will change. The organization on Wednesday announced a new name for its Boy Scouts program: Scouts BSA. The change will take effect in February. Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh said many possibilities were considered during lengthy and “incredibly fun” deliberations before the new name was chosen. “We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward,” he said. “We’re trying to Charles Krupa | AP file Tatum Weir, center, carries a tool box she built as her twin brother, Ian, left, follows after a Cub Scout meeting March 1 in Madbury, N.H. Fifteen communities in New Hampshire are part of an “early adopter” program to allow girls to become Cub Scouts and eventually Boy Scouts. For 108 years, the Boy Scouts of America’s flagship program for older boys has been known simply as the Boy Scouts. With girls soon entering the ranks, the BSA says that iconic name will change to “Scouts BSA.” The change will take effect in February 2019. find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women.” The parent organization will remain the Boy Scouts of America, and the Cub Scouts — its program serving children from kindergarten through fifth grade — will keep its title, as well. But the Boy Scouts — the program for 11- to 17-year-olds — will now be Scouts BSA. The organization already has started admitting girls into the Cub Scouts, and Scouts BSA begins accepting girls next year. Surbaugh predicted that both boys and girls in Scouts BSA would refer to themselves simply as scouts, rather than adding “boy” or “girl.” The program for the older boys and girls will largely be divided along gender-lines, with singlesex units pursuing the same types of activities, earning the same array of merit badges and potentially having the same pathway to the coveted Eagle Scout award. Surbaugh said that having separate units for boys and girls should alleviate concerns that girls joining the BSA for the first time might be at a disadvantage in seeking leadership opportunities.

Reports 1st quarter earnings GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the “Company”) reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, of $3,366,000, an increase of $149,000, or 4.6 percent, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2018 were $.71, compared to $.69 for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 2.9 percent. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.20 percent and 12.41 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2018, versus 1.23 percent and 12.41 percent, respectively, for the same period the prior year. “Our Community First mission provided opportunities for commercial loan growth and rising debit and credit card usage this quarter. The growth in those income sources, combined with an extraordinary tax season, resulted in another profitable quarter for the company,” commented President and CEO Tom Wiseman. “I look forward to sharing this success with our shareholders at our Annual Meeting on May 16.” For the first quarter of 2018, net interest income increased $645,000, or 5.9 percent, from the same period last year. Contributing to the growth in net interest income was the growth in earning assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, average earning assets increased $84 million from the same period the prior year. The growth in average earning assets was primarily attributable to seasonal liquidity provided from processing tax refunds and from the loan portfolio. For the first quarter of 2018, the average balance of funds maintained at the Federal Reserve increased $46 million from the first quarter of 2017. Approximately half of the increase was related to higher average balances associated with processing tax refunds. This increase in average balance, when coupled with the 75 basis point increase in shortterm interest rates since December 31, 2016, generated an additional $424,000 in interest income. For the first quarter of 2018, average loans increased $31 million from the same period last year, led by growth within the commercial loan segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, interest and fees on loans increased $459,000 from the same period last year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the net interest margin was 4.38 percent, compared to 4.52 percent for the same period the prior year. The decrease in net interest margin was related to the higher balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, which diluted the net interest margin due to the yield on those balances being less than other earning assets, such as loans and securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the provision for loan loss expense totaled $756,000, compared to $145,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $611,000. For the Pharmacist Association is held in Columbus each year and is attended by approximately 1,200 pharmacists and pharmacy students.

Yoho, a 2010 graduate of the Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy, is a Pomeroy, Ohio, resi- three months ended March, 31, 2018, the provision for loan loss expense incurred was related to net loan chargeoffs of $259,000 and to an increase in general reserves related to certain economic risk and historical loan loss factors. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans at March 31, 2018 was 1.63 percent compared to 1.36 percent at December 31, 2017 and 1.19 percent at March 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was 1.04 percent of total loans at March 31, 2018, compared to .97 percent at December 31, 2017 and .99 percent at March 31, 2017. For the first quarter of 2018, noninterest income totaled $3,076,000, a decrease of $37,000 from the first quarter of 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, tax refund processing fees totaled $1,228,000, a decrease of $148,000 from the same period the prior year. The decrease was related to the lower per item fee received by the Company under the contract with the third-party tax refund product provider. Partially offsetting the decrease in tax refund processing fees was the increase in fee income related to interchange income earned from debit and credit transactions, which increased $81,000 from the same period last year. Noninterest expense totaled $9,808,000 for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $433,000, or 4.6 percent, from the same period last year. The Company’s largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, increased $338,000 from the first quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily related to annual merit increases. The remaining noninterest expenses increased $95,000, led by an increase in data processing and professional fees, which was partially offset by lower foreclosure costs. For the three months ended March 31, 3018, income tax expense totaled $656,000, a decrease of $585,000 from the same period last year. The primary contributor to the lower tax expense was the lower federal income tax rate applicable to 2018. As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted on December 22, 2017, the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate was reduced from 34 percent to 21 percent. The Company’s total assets at March 31, 2018 were $1.096 billion, an increase of $70 million from December 31, 2017. The increase from December 31, 2017 was primarily related to the influx of deposits from seasonal tax refund processing.

But, what do you write to parents whose son was brutally and unjustly tortured in a foreign land by the worst of humanity? A 2017 article in the Cincinnati Enquirer listed the following address for those who would like to send Melissa words of support and encourageMartin ment. Cards and letters can be Contributing mailed to: The Warmbier Family, columnist Suzy Henke, Director of Communications, Wyoming City Schools, 420 Springfield Pike, Wyoming, OH 45215. Otto Warmbier was released from a North Korean prison after being held hostage for 18 months. He returned to the United States in a coma with extensive brain damage. According to the 2018 lawsuit, he was blind and deaf. And he died within a few days. Kim Jong Un’s kangaroo court sentenced a 22-year-old American citizen to 15 years of hard labor for stealing a propaganda poster. And labeled him as a prisoner of war. According to the newspaper article, “The lawsuit includes an official government statement released after his death that claimed he had acted “on an assignment from an anti-DPRK plot-breeding organization of the U.S.” and the CIA.” In reality, Otto Warmbier was visiting North Korea with a tour group. What did then-President Obama and his administration do? Whatever they did, didn’t work. Otto Warmbier was not released. The creation of the U.S. Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell did not bring Otto home, either. China had the power to force Kim Jong Un to release Otto Warmbier immediately. But why would China, a totalitarian regime that violates the human rights of its own citizens, intervene to save an American? Bill Richardson, founder of the Center for Global Engagement, a nongovernmental organization, and his team met with North Korean officials 20 times to negotiate the release of Otto Warmbier, according to a 2017 article by the Denver Post. Richardson asserted, “To bring these cases to a resolution, we often work on three parallel tracks: identifying opportunities to create leverage; engaging directly with captors to ascertain what it might take to secure hostages’ release; and working with the families of those taken hostage, who often find themselves in need of guidance. Working on all three tracks remains viable, but Otto’s case shows that it’s time for a paradigm shift.” So, why did North Korea release Otto Warmbier under the Trump administration? U.S. special envoy Joseph Yun traveled to North Korean to bring Otto Warmbier home. After Otto died, the U.S. banned travel to North Korea by its citizens. What’s the takeaway lesson? America’s hostage negotiation strategy is flawed. U.S. citizens should not visit North Korea (and spend tourism dollars that build up an unstable country with nuclear weapons).

He famously silly and cute to him that badgered other comedians to stop swearing he would have turned onstage, and when he was into comedy gold! Man, not on tour performing did I blow it. Most Americans know stand-up, he was on tour what a celebrity is by the hectoring black people to Where is the line between art and an artist? Are they separate, or hopelessly interwoven? Can someone enjoy a work of art by an evil person and not be complicit in that person’s evil? behave “properly.” However sincere he may have been, it was his skill as an entertainer, not his moral authority, that made us listen when he preached. The #MeToo movement has brought a reckoning on many famous and gifted men, and I hope it does some damage to America’s cult of celebrity too. For many of us, it already has. Questions once confined to grad school seminars on art theory or upper-level English literature courses are now on everyone’s mind: Where is the line between art and an artist? Are they separate, or hopelessly interwoven? Can someone enjoy a work of art by an evil person and not be complicit in that person’s evil? For the most part I find it easy to separate the art from the artist. I honed this skill over a decade performing improv. Some of my favorite performers were people I strongly disliked. Knowing talented jerks has inoculated me from the shock of discovering a famous person is not very kind. Of course, Cosby’s crimes are far worse than simply not being cool after a show. And for that, timeless masterpieces like “Bill Cosby: Himself” are likely to be trapped in amber, forever remote from the people who first appreciated them, and doomed to wait decades upon decades for someone with enough detachment to differentiate art from artist. In 1978, it was fear that turned me away from the celebrity on stage and back into my mother’s arms. Cowardice aside, the gesture remains a fine policy: place your trust, your hope and your love with the people closest to you. You know them. The ones on stage? All you know is their talent. Admire that talent — and leave it at that. Dennis O’Toole is a Chicago writer. He wrote this for the Chicago Tribune.

Beth Shaver and John Matson explained that while the focus is for those age 50 and older the equipment installed includes activities for those of all ages and activity levels. Information from the Council on Aging states, NEOS gets players — even teenagers and seniors — off the sofa and on the road to fitness. Each time they play NEOS, kids are developing their quickness, agility, hand-eye coordination, physical strength, and stamina. In fact, an independent study by the Geisinger Center for Health Research showed that playing NEOS stimulates activity levels equivalent to jogging or playing soccer, raising heart rates an average of 20 percent. In addition to the NEOS, other pieces of equipment are located in the area with signs on each stating how to utilize the equipment. The Sister’s Health Foundation provided grant funding for a portion of the project. The remainder was funded through donations, as well as capital campaign funds. As with the work inside the building, no tax dollars have been used, said Shaver. The Council on Aging also took steps this week to place their future building on the National Registry of Historic Places. An application was submitted on Monday for consideration. 75° 52° Marietta 84/68 Athens 84/67 Ironton 88/68 Ashland 88/68 Grayson 87/68 From page 1 TUESDAY 70° 44° Wilkesville 85/67 POMEROY Jackson 87/66 85/68 Ravenswood Rio Grande 87/67 87/68 Centerville POINT PLEASANT Ripley 79/68 GALLIPOLIS 88/68 88/67 87/67 South Shore Greenup 88/68 85/67 75 0 50 100 150 200 Portsmouth 86/69 MONDAY Murray City 82/68 McArthur 83/68 Very High Primary: oak, elm, other Mold: 150 Moderate Chillicothe 81/68 SUNDAY Equipment NATIONAL CITIES Logan 81/68 Adelphi 81/68 Waverly 83/68 Pollen: 526 Low MOON PHASES Last 0-2 Low; 3-4 Moderate; 5-6 High; 7-8 Very High; 9-10 Extreme SATURDAY 78° 61° 1 Primary: cladosporium Today Fri. 6:29 a.m. 6:27 a.m. 8:23 p.m. 8:24 p.m. 11:55 p.m. none 9:09 a.m. 9:54 a.m. FRIDAY A shower or thunderstorm today.

Lady Eagles clinch share of title By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Champions again. The Eastern softball team clinched at least a share of the 2018 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division title on Tuesday evening in Meigs County, as the Lady Eagles defeated Waterford by a 10-7 count.

Still with one out in the bottom of the third, Sidney Cook singled home Kelsey Casto and Sydney Sanders, and then Kelsey Roberts singled home Cera Grueser.
