DREAMS OF A TAURUS WOMAN This is a woman who dreams of her own inner power. She can feel it through the feminine, but lacks the masculine initiative and vigor to jump into new endeavors without fear. A Taurus woman dreams of a life without any fears, one in which she is perfectly able to defend herself from any attacks of other people, especially women. She wishes for strength, bravery, and the ability to always separate right from wrong, knowing exactly what she is supposed to do next. She gets lost in battles that don’t help her ﬁnd the energy or express creatively, but desires greatly to have constructive moves and conﬂicts that will lead to her strength and leadership. DREAMS OF A TAURUS MAN This is a man who dreams of a new beginning, something to give him the energy to succeed and make him brave, conﬁdent, and a true hero. He wants to feel passionate, act on impulse and in sync with his instincts, and be at least a bit quicker in his decisions and movements. He dreams of being stronger, better, improved, and as ﬁery as his Martian predecessor, failing to see that his role is as big and important as any other. Once he realizes his mission is to actively share and give love to the world, teaching others how to be intimate and close, he will become his own hero in no time.

You know, questions like, can you make a living if your ﬁeld of expertise is English and your minor study emphasis was in urban studies? Both subjects are ﬂexible enough to work into a job application along with all of the personal attributes that can be squeezed into an attached resume. But at ﬁrst glance such specialized knowledge doesn’t seem to ﬁt into pools of employment opportunities as computer technology and medical support careers. English, for example, Kevin is a skill that can place you in literacy Kelly programs, for which there still exists Contributing a crying need, while such a randomlycolumnist chosen subject as urban studies allows entry into municipal jobs as an assistant or what’s been sneeringly referred to in the recent past as “community organizer.” But are these jobs plentiful enough to afford hiring right out of commencement? Probably not when so many of them are dependent on limited funding and strained budgets. If you have computer and social skills, you may have to content yourself with something totally out of your ﬁeld until a desired job matching your talent arises. Graduates still have to eat, and payments on those school loans are but months away. So what’s the point of sinking so much money and brainpower into four-or-ﬁve years of studies in esoterica? Are you better off to try career, business and two-year institutions offering training in hot button jobs and swift placement? If that’s what you decide, more power to you. If you haven’t the patience to sweat out the traditional college classroom experience or don’t want to take the basic courses that underline a degree on that level, then consider the beneﬁts of a two-year-or-less program. In a few weeks when high school graduations occur and if the ex-senior in question hasn’t yet decided on college of any kind to follow in the fall, then consider bachelor or associate programs carefully before making a commitment. As I prepared to collect my degree and go out into the world some decades ago, there were doubts about the profession I chose to enter and the chance of ﬁnding a job. For at the time, journalism was still thought of more respectfully than today, especially after coverage of Watergate by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein earlier in the ’70s rose investigative reporting from mere snooping to the gold standard of serious reporting. By 1980 the plum jobs at big newspapers were taken and the ﬁeld so crowded that one visiting executive gloomily suggested to an audience of aspiring newshawks that we consider doing something else. There were positions available at small-town papers, however, and that was the path I followed because, as I said previously, those student loan payments were looming. I’d best be working by then. In the nine years it took to pay off the loans, I had managed to keep working and never once regretted having taken the traditional four-year route (or, in my case, four years and seven months). There were courses that were required but left me wondering why, although over the years I accepted that the ﬁeld of study basics chosen by the powers-that-be at Ohio University made some kind of sense in making you a more wellrounded individual. Yes, one had to take Logic in order to help think logically, or Comparative Arts to appreciate ﬁner forms of creative expression. Not to mention electives that were, in the case of Dr. John Hollow’s Popular Literature course in venerable Ellis Hall, a sheer joy to be part of from beginning to end. And for grads, there’s always the commencement ceremony, a time for recognition and congratulations for academic achievement. It’s not limited to the four-year schools and the same feeling of exhilration applies when this milestone in a scholar’s life is reached on any level. I didn’t focus as greatly on mine because I had ﬁnished in winter quarter and was working when I returned to Athens to don cap and gown. I have no misgivings about taking part, only faulty memories of what happened. What I remember of the experience was being seated with hundreds of people in the Convocation Center in sweltering June heat, trying not to focus on my discomfort and watching one of my professors seated in the nosebleed section still grading papers as the celebration droned on. Our speaker was the education minister of Malaysia, or so I’m told; I honestly don’t recall a bloody thing the man said, except when he mentioned a community in his homeland. That prompted one of my fellow nearby grads to crack, “That near Youngstown?” Before the end of this month, college graduates will have braced themselves for life outside the classroom, realizing they won’t be returning later in the year, instead working at a job or seeking one. To all of them, good luck, and remember my brother-in-law Frank Wolter’s apt observation that no education, wherever it’s obtained, is wasted. Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years, resides in Vinton, Ohio. THEIR VIEW Mountain Marching Mamas What’s the nicest thing you can give a working wife with children on Mother’s Day? Answer— a week off, a week away from alarm clocks, cooking, cleaning, laundry, lunches, and endless to-do lists. I have given my wife this gift for forty years. What she did with it was surprising. Her sister hatched the idea. “We’ll call it the ‘Mothers Mountain March.’” Six women doing wilderness hiking and camping with minimal experience? Joanne took her makeup kit, though I said at the time, “The bears couldn’t care less what she looked like, only what she tasted like.” When they made plans and even tee-shirts saying “Mothers Mountain March,” I knew they were serious. And since our three sons were ages ﬁve, eight, and ten, it truly was with a tear in my eye that I watched a white station wagon become a small speck on the horizon as the six mothers headed for the Smokey Mountains in 1978. The original cast was my wife Charme, her sister Bunny, plus Sylvia, Grace, Ellen, and Joanne. They learned from mothers, as probtheir mistakes, James lem-solvers.

The cast changed slightly over the years. Joanne was replaced by cousin Mary from Indiana and Grace had to retire. But the core four—Charme, Bunny, Sylvia, and Ellen, plus Mary, are celebrating the fortieth anniversary of that ﬁrst hike, the one where I watched a white station wagon shrink to a speck. Conversely, it was the Mountain Marching Mamas—trail names Mother Superior, Gypsy, Mama Kazoo, Orange Blossom, and Hoosier Mama—who grew as people, as wives, women, and mothers over the years. The greatest gift you can give a wife, mother, or female friend, be it Mothers Day or any other day, is the chance to fulﬁll their potential and chase their own dreams. These gals did just that.

It’s a simple thing that demonstrates Eblin’s character of service. “Ian is an exemplary young man, who has properly been recognized, but even without this recognition he is just seeking to live out the Beta motto: let us lead by serving others. And so we’ve seen that in Ian, and for us it’s exciting that someone on this level acknowledges that,” said Walker. Ian explained how he has shaped his life to reﬂect that manner of service and leadership. Service and helpfulness do not necessarily come naturally, and may require some effort to develop those habits at ﬁrst. “It’s kind of like learning manners, as you do it more and more it becomes what you want to do, it’s like second nature,” said Eblin. “Ian will tell you that he is not a perfect young man, and we are not setting him up to be the model of everything that anyone and everyone should be, but it is encouraging to see someone trying to step out and seek out authentic servant leadership,” said Walker. www.storylawoffice.net � �� 5�� !./��!'+��/-$$/�5��0'/$� �� ,3�� ,*$-,4��&',� � � ��'"$+.$#�'+�� BIG SALE OUR 55th YEAR BUY 2 GET 3rd 55% OFF LAMP SHADES 5,000 in Stock!

He intends to ﬁght for every step though as he goes through both occupational and physical therapy. He said he has no idea from where the infection came. “I was in an induced coma for 10 days,” said Sheets. “They brought me out and the ﬁrst thing I tell them was I couldn’t feel my legs. This all happened on January 26. I went in for back pain. They induced the coma with a ventilator at (Holzer Medical Center) and shipped me to (Riverside Methodist Hospital) to the neurocenter...I walked into the hospital, needless to say once I came off the ventilator there was no more walking around.” Sheets said much of the process he doesn’t remember but there are pictures with him with his grandchildren in bed, awake. He said when he learned of his infection he initially wanted a second opinion and doctors told him there was no time for a second opinion as the infection had started to cause damage to his nervous system. Gladys GrimmettSheets, George’s wife, said their daughter had rescheduled her wedding a few times to make certain her father did not miss it. George would then go into rehabilitation treatment after waking from the coma. He came home in early April.

It wasn’t nowhere near what I wanted to do. I really wanted to be back on my feet and give her that traditional (dance)... It’s important that I got to be there.” George said he wanted to recognize the event as something special for his daughter despite his obstacles. The family recognized the help of Iris and Justin Call as being important to helping George make the wedding. George said his family had to load him into a truck using a plywood ramp on short notice. “I can’t really put into words how I felt,” said Linda. “It was amazing that he actually got to be there. I’ve not ever pictured my wedding having to sit in his lap and being wheeled down but it was actually even more inspirational to everybody (in the family)…He’s made the comment don’t reschedule (the wedding) just have it on video and this and that and I’ll see you outside the hospital and the nursing home.

EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM Immunization Clinic to a typical 15 barge tow on the Ohio River, and that equals two-100 car trains or 870 large semis. How much is transported on the Ohio River in a year? Statistics provided by PCXIN show that in 2017, the Racine Locks and Dam counted a total of 3,878 commercial lockages that included 23,924 loaded barges carrying 47,454,972 tons of coal, petro, grains, chemicals, ores and minerals, iron, and steel at a commodity value of $9,431,334,113. Residents along the river from Mason to Meigs County have been dealing with spring ﬂoods and are weary of the river. Perhaps by taking a look at the volume of products transported by river operations, residents may get a new perspective on the importance of river commerce to our community, as well as to the national and international economy and gain a new appreciation of the Ohio River. damage prevention, water supply and reallocation, hydropower and ﬂood damage reduction.” “The value to the nation of our inland navigation system is realized in cheaper transportation costs which in turn means that the end-use consumer pays less when the transportation mode is less expensive,” Donovan said. Also included in the data are Carbon Dioxide Emissions per Million Ton-Mile. The barge with 19.3 tons as compared with the rail at 29.6 and semi trucks at 71.6 is more environmentally friendly. “A barge is the greenest when compared to other means of transporting the same cargos when it come to emissions,” Donovan said. A chart provided by Brian Maka from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington, W.Va., ofﬁce compares the cargo capacity of barges to railroad cars and semis; one barge is equal to over 13 railroad hopper jumper cars or 58 large semis.

The Eastern softball team defeated Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Southern by a 19-3 count in six innings on Friday night at Star Mill Park, giving the Lady Eagles the 2018 league championship all by themselves. Eastern (16-4, 14-2 TVC Hocking) — which could have still won the league title outright with a loss — has now won the league six times in the last seven years. The Lady Eagles now have 14 conference championships in program history, including four under ﬁfth year head coach Bryan Durst. “Everyone of them has said it, we don’t want to share it with anybody, and it showed in our practice last night,” Coach Durst said of the league title. “I think it’s going to give us a lot of conﬁdence for the road ahead. We’re going to go play very good Westfall and Warren teams tomorrow to help get us ready to go where we want to go.” The Lady Eagles’ road to the TVC Hocking title wasn’t direct after losing their season opener at Belpre, but Eastern rebounded and won 14 of its ﬁnal 15 league games, including a stretch of 10 straight. This is the second time in three seasons that Southern (12-7, 11-5) has ﬁnished with an 11-5 league mark. Despite falling short of their TVC Hocking goals, the Lady Tornadoes and head coach Alan Crisp hope to make up for it in the postseason. “We felt like we probably should have been playing for a share of the league title tonight, but things didn’t work out in a couple other games,” said Crisp. “The kids have said all year that they’re going to the regionals, or at least the district ﬁnal, so we’ll see if they can get it going. We have to get the focus back and we have to play our game.” The Lady Eagles struck for seven runs in the ﬁrst inning, which was highlighted by a three-run Sidney Cook home run and a two-run Kelsey Casto home run. Southern got a run Cleland took the pitching loss for SHS, striking out two, while allowing 19 runs, 12 earned, on 21 hits and a walk. Both teams left six runners on base, with Southern committing all-3 of the game’s errors. “We came out Wednesday night at Belpre and played a just a phenomenal game,” Crisp said. “Then we came out tonight and they set the tone with seven runs in the ﬁrst inning. Eastern is a good hitting team, I don’t want to take Alex Hawley|OVP Sports anything away from Members of the 2018 Eastern softball team pose for a picture after sealing the outright TVC Hocking them, but I just feel that our focus wasn’t there championship, with a 19-3 victory over Southern on Friday in Racine, Ohio. tonight.” Leading the Lady Eagle back in the bottom of the third, SHS made it a 10-3 “Anytime this year that game, as Paige VanMeter we’ve had good focus and offense, Cook was 4-forﬁrst, as Sydney Cleand 5 with a home run, two good energy, we’ve been singled home Jaiden Rob- doubled home Kassie doubles, three runs and very successful.
