REED Staff writer POMEROY, Ohio The American Red Cross is in Meigs County, reijeving emergency shelter volunteers and preparing for the possibility of flooding. The county continues to provide emergency shelter and food for 16 residents at the former Veterans Memorial Hospital. Meigs Emergency Management Director Bob Byer said the shelter will · remain on standby in the event of flash flooding. "Because of the melting snow and the weekend forecast of rain, we're under a flash flood watch," Byer said. "We're going to have to watch the weather close! y and see what happens, but we're preparing for the possibility of another emergency. That's one reason the Red Cross IS here," he added. "We're taking some precautions and we're trying to get people who are in the shelters now back home before any high water arrives," Byer said. Byer said the Red Cross assistance was requested in order to relieve ; Amateur radio operators have also volunteered their services and have been responsible for communication between shelters and the county's emergency operations center on Mulberry Heights.

Bush's desk to be signed into law, according to infonnation released·from the office of Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va. · The news will be of particular interest to Mason Counti~as the bill contains over $8 million dollars specifically designated for a pair of projects in the county. Just over $4.1 has been earmarlced for work on U.S. Route 35, while $4.5 has been assigned for the Pomeroy-Mason bridge project. "This funding will help . advance the effort to make the road safer for travelers and more accessible for new job opportunities," Byrd said in a statement. U.S. 35 is a largely two-lane highway which originates in St. Albans and runs through to the Silver Bridge in Mason County where it crosses over to Ohio. "These key transportation projects are important for the future of Mason County," Byrd said in reference to the U.S. Route 35 and bridge projects. It is believed by many that making the highway more userfiiendly would further economic development in the areas of Putnam and Mason counties through which it passes. Six fatalities occurred between Henderson and Southside in Mason County on U.S. 35 during 2002. The road is notorious for its heavy volume of tractortrailer traffic.

Meigs County's observance of Girl Scout Th.lnk·lng Day postpon· ed . BY CHARLENE HoEFLICH _N_ew:..s:..e:..d:..it:..or'------~­ POMEROY, Ohio ~ Today, millions of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from around the world are celebrating "World Thinking Day" which focuses on the international connections within the Girl Scout movement. But Meigs County girl scouts are not among them. Due to the hazardous road conditions and the power outages across the county, the planned celebration has been postponed until next month . As earlier ·announced it will be held at the Fellowship Church of the Nazarene in Reedsville once rescheduled . World Thinking Day was first created in 1926 at the fourth Girl Guide/Girl Scout international conference. It was decided at that time that there should. be a special day when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all around the world think of each other and give thanks and appreciation to their "sister" Girl Scouts. The delegates chose Feb. 22 as the date for Thinking Day because it was the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement and his wife Olave, who served as World Chief Guide. It was their inspiration that lead Juliette Gordon Low to found Girl Scouts in Savannah, Ga., March 12, 1912. Every day, and especially on Thinking Day, girls in the USA and around the world can focus on community action projects as well as celebrations and ceremonies to honor the spirit of World Thinking Day. Through the years, Meigs .

Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organizl!tion for girls,'. with a membership of more than 3.6 million girls and adults. Today, Girl Scouting helps cultivate social values. a social conscience, and selfesteem in young girls, while also teaching them critical life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. In Girl Scouting, girls discover fun, friendship, and the power of girls together. W:tmes -~enttnel Reader Services Correction Polley Ohio Valley Publllhlng Co.

(Charlene Hoeflich) Storyteller traces oldest form of entertainment BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor POMEROY, Ohio - "Before there were books, there were stories," said Meigsican storyteller Donna Gr~ene , who entertained members of Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution with two funny slories. Without props in hand, but with plenty of voice and lots of animation, Green presented "Caleb's Wild Ride" and "What Gold?" to the delight of her aupience, which included several youthful winners of the DAR history essay contest. But before telling the stories, she gave a history of storytelling, taking it back to med1eval days when they were told around · fires in cottages or sung in the great halls of castles. She said there was little distinction made between stories for children and adults at that t,ime. "They just all met to listen and be entertained after a hard day's work," she said. "What seems to have remained constant over the years are broad themes of the stories which centered around human relationships, love and conflicts." Greene pointed out that stories have probably been told for as long as humans have had language. "But, as we study the changing history of literature we find that society, cultural and political norms have had an impact on the content of stories and storytelling," she said. Thin.gs changed in the Middle Ages, accordmg to the storyteller. There developed differences in the kinds of stories told in cottages and those told in castles. Sometimes the stories portrayed the poor peasant outwitting the lord of the manor or winning the hand of a princess by a daring deed, she said. Greene noted that one danger in evaluating stories of lhe past is the tendency to use "contemporary criteria rather than to recognize the prevailing values of the period." "A story, if well done. makes the li~teners wonder, gaze, laugh, even shake - but it leaves free both ·that which is narrated and the audience," she concluded. TP-C Water issues boil advisory TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio - A boil advisory has been issued by the Tuppers PlainsChester Water Dtstrict for the following roads and areas in Bedford and Scipio townships: Flora, Cullums, Carr, Elk • Run, Bear Wallow, Devenny, Gold Ridge, White Oak , Landaker, Holley, Vance, King Ridge, Horner Hill , Ohio Route 684, Ohio Route 692, Pageville Road and the community of Page ville. General Manager Donald Poole said in many areas only the hilltops lost water pressure and may have had their service restored. But all of the areas listed are ndw under the advisory and will be when service is returned. A single generator is being used in two locations, so for the water to be on, off or low pressure for several days may be normal until all commer· cia! power is restored, Poole said. The boil advisory will be in effect until further notice. After power is permanently restored, samples will be taken and tested. When the results are known to be safe, another notice will be issued, Poole said. "The water district wishes to thank our customers for their patience, and also the many power line and tree removal crews working so many long hours tb restore service," he added.

Much · like Desert Storm in 1991, we're seeing more and more of our citizen soldiers packing up and leaving for parts unknown. As of this week, 709 members of the West Virginia National Guard have been mobilized; 180 of them shipped out· of Grafton. According to state Military Affairs and PubHc safety spokesman Randy Coleman, we're nearing the same number of guardsmen activated in 1991. "We're getting on par (with Desert Storm)," said Coleman. "The end has not come yet." Once again, the U.S. is moving toward a major war, and once again West Virginians are doing their part. As these people march off to uncertain futures, those of us on the home front salute them. As Lt. Col. Terri 0' Brien told members of the 363rd Military Police Company in Grafton recently: "You are a credit to your nation. So are you, families, for supporting them." Whether or not you support a war with Iraq, we must rally ljfOI)nd our friends, neighbors and loved ones in uniform. We must also look out for the people they leave behind. This is a very trying time, not only for those in harm's way, but for those who await their return . It's a scenario often repeated in this country. It never gets any easier.

Lives have not only been touched by tools, but by the hands-on approach. Perhaps you had food, water or supplies brought to you. I was fortunate enough to have breakfast and hot coffee two mornings from a restaurant, and pancakes and hot coffee have never tasted better. Friends chatted with friends assuring each other things would be better soon. There was the closeness that comes by people bonding together in emergencies. Middleport lost one of the finest young men we have ever had the privilege of knowing. Mark Michael's home caught on fire and he died a few hours later. The firemen, the EMS staff and the neighbors all braved the weather to do all that they could with rhe situation . Mark was a minister and ran the Deli at Vaughan's and spread his good will to us all. He will be sadly missed. These things don't happen to us. Sorry, but they do and they have, and hopefully each of us will learn who to appreciate. Marjorie M. Walburn Middleport, Ohio - Think .about it.· There are worse things than war Because I was a college student from 1967-71, I am a primary source as far as peace demonstrations are concerned. 1 vividly remem. ber the Vietnam protests and the rhetoric that was used back then: "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" li is eerily similar to what's going on today vis-avis Iraq. Back then, many of the antiwar protestors considered America an evi I place, full of waimon~ering politicians and a mtlitary intent on persecuting the people of Southeast Asia. The historical truth, however, turned out to be quite different. I remember reading a book called "The Killing 'Fields" documenting the mass murder of up to 2 million Cambodians. Then I saw the movie starring Sam Waterston . What the Khmer Rouge did was exactly what the Nazis did. Yet the peace demonstrators in America said little about it, perhaps because they knew that if the United States had prevailed in Vietnam, the "killing fields" of neighboring Cambodia would not have happened . In the early ' 90s, I decided to go to Vietnam myself to have a look around. The don 't want. to remove Saddam Hussein by force. But if force is not used, Saddam stays.

They died horribly, and no power was in place that could protect them. Most of us know in our hearts that honest ,s:lissent is a strength of America and that war is a bad thing. But there are worse things, and every American should think about that.

Third Frontier project looks for jobs} industry in Ohio When I was elected mayor of Wellston in 1987, good highways, viable industrial sites and adequate schools and facilities were all excellent tools in the competition to attract and keep good jobs in our community. As we begin 2003 , our region has made great strides in these areas and is ready to compete in the economy of the 21 st century. However, we all know the economy is changing and we are starting to see the effects as the amount of knowledge and skills needed to compete arc dramatically increasing. We now not only have to worry about the infras tructure of highways and the quality of schools, but the ability 'to have access to the Internet, new technology, and . high-tech. high-paying jobs. Ohio has been hit hard by the economi c downturn because of its strong man ufacturing •• John Carey base, and many parts of Ohio did not share ip the prosperity of the old economy. It is important for our region and Ohio in general that we have the tools to compete in the ne w economy. In hi s State of the State address, Gov. Bob Taft proposed additiona l prospects for the Third Frontier Project. Th is project is the state's largest commitment ever to expanding Ohio's high-tech research capa bilities and promoting companies to bu ild high-wage jobs for genera- tions to come . . This project will not only 1mprove . our exi sting research facilities, but will also provide new buildings and equipment for globally competitive ce nters. It will al so initiate a bond program to attrac t world-class researchers and bring muchneeded resources to our state. Through the Innovation Ohio Fund; advanced manufacturing technologies and existing industries will become more productive, competiti ve and profitable. Overall , the Third Frontier Project is a series of new and enhanced economic development programs designed to ex pand the state's competitive edge in attrac ting and keeping high-pay ing jobs in high-growth industries. As we face this year's dismal budge t shortfa ll , we must remember to continue to inves t in our state's fu tu re. ., Jobs and industries are rapidly moving towards innovative technologies, and our communities have to be able to move along with them. Our region has many hightech strengths and opportunities, and this program will ' help us build on those strengths to create jobs and position Ohio as a leader in this new economy. As always.

Lotteries Ohio Vinton seeks park development input BY KEVIN KELLY "We want the community iavolved and we want their. input on what they want in their park. Having a plan in place is something funding sources like to see." News editor VINTON , Ohio - Vinton officials want to improve the Community Park, and are looking for the public 's assistance in reaching that goal. A public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the village hall to gauge interest in forming a park committee made up of citizens who share the same interest, Mayor Donna DeWitt said. "The meeting is for anyone interested in what we're doing, anyone interested in joining the committee and offer their own ideas," she said. Community Park has been based along Ohio Route 325 North for the last 20 years. Village Council has been interested in a park development plan, but had held off due to the cost of bringing in a consultant to draft a proposal. Improvements have been made over the past decade, many financed through grants from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Community Development Block Grant program offered by the state Department of Development.. Initially, council and the mayor are interested in planting trees. Ann Bonner of ODNR's Divi sion of Forestry is assisting the village with the proposal. ·DeWitt Bonner suggested formati on of a committee to craft the park's future. DeWitt said. "We want the community involved and we want their input on what they want in their park." the mayor said . "Having a plan in place is somethin g fundin g sources like to see." What to do with the park will be council's decision in the end, but DeWitt said additional structures. a soccer field and a walking track are among the first ideas the committee explores . DeWitt said prior to the 1980s. Vinton's park was off Cherry Street on the village's southern end, near Raccoon Creek. It was moved to past the ballfields at 325 and Ohio Route 160, and its initial offering was playground equipment donated by Vinton Elementary School.

Clean sweep for Devils BY BUTCH COOPER Staff writer WELLSTON, Ohio - It didn't take long for Travis McKinniss and Gallia Academy to get into the groove against River Valley Friday. The Blue Devils led 19-3 at the end of the first quarter and built on that lead for the next three quarters as Gallia Academy defeated the Raiders, 76-46, in the Division II sectional semifinals. It's Gallia Academy 's third wi'n over the Raiders this season. "Our history has been, through the year, to have a really good first quarter," said Gallia Academy head coach Jim Os.bome. "I think River Valley showed they just weren't able to get up and down the floor real well. Lack of practice makes that very difficult." McKinniss scored 14 points in the first quarter and finished with a gamehi~h 16 points. 'If you don't guard him, he's going to put it in the basket," said Osborne of McKinniss. "He got us off . to a fast start." Also for the Blue Devils (16-3), Anthony Dey came off the bench to score l 0 points, Donnie Johnson nine and Cody Caldwell seven. Tom ' Bose had seven rebounds and faur steals, wnile Caldwell and Johnson each grabbed six boards and three steals.

"We knew that they would take advantage of our size mismatches, especially with our guards," said River Valley head coach Gene Layton. "That's why we were trying to play some zone. We tried to play some trian~le and two on them defenstvely. "There early, transition defense really hurt us and we game up too many offensive rebounds in that first half that gave them some second chance baskets." Gallia Academy jumped on top 19-0 in a dominati~g openmg quarter effort wnh the help of offensive rebounding and the sureshot of McKinniss. Rebels fall to Trimble Gatlia .Academy' s Angelo Hardy (33) flys to the basket for two points during the fourth quarter of Galli a Academy's 76-46 sectional win over River Val ley Friday at Wellston High School. (Doug Shipley) McARTHUR, Ohio South Gall ia walked into their sectional match-up with Trimble a little rusty from a lack of practice brought on by the inclement weather. After a sketchy first half, the Rebels came on strong and slashed the Trimble lead, but the Tomcats prevailed and held on for a 79-65 victor. Trimble will now play top-seeded Symmes Valley in the next round in the Division IV sectional. South Gallia may have come out slowly, but the Rebels used a years worth of experience to repeatedly come back against a Trimble team that relied heavily on starters A.J. Jenkins and Noah Barrett. The duo scored 31 of Trimble's 79 points and were a constant problem for the Rebels on the defensive end. "Jenkins does a really good job of penetration, he was our key when we came to the game and we just couldn't stop him," said coach "Mitch · Meadows. On the other hand. there was nothing the Tomcats could do to stop Jason Merrick who scored a gamehigh 27 points. In the first half, Barrett made his presence known inside and drew multiple fouls going up for a shot. This put Rebels Zeph Clary ana Brandon Caldwell in early foul trouble that would come back to haunt South Gallia later on. Trimble took an early 6-0 lead after two jumpers from Jenkirs. but the Rebels stayed in the game by slowing the te111po down and pounding the ball inside. Even though the Rebels found themselves in early foul trouble, Trimble had just as many problems. Caldwell 's presence inside forced some early fouls and hand fouls on the perimeter also created many problems for the Tomcats. Merrick kept the Rebels in the game wtth a shot that pulled South Gallia back to within eight points at the end of the first quarter.

But he a I s o walked 128 times - third most in the major leagues and fashioned a .400 on-base percentage. Boone is considering trying Dunn at leadoff in sprin gtraining games because the Reds don' t have a prototype leadoff hitter. Even if Dunn stays in the middle of the lineup, Boone sees no reason for Dunn to be more aggressive. "I want Adam to ·be the be st hitter he can be, and if he's being selective. it means he 's not chasing bad pitches," Boone said. "You can rell him to expand his strike zone a littl e bit and hit the ball out of the park if he knows it's a really good pitch to hit, but that's VINCENT - There will not his style.

"I' ve never been the type of hitter that thinks a lot at the pl ate and thinking is what got me in trouble . So thi s year, no more thinking. This year, I'm going to have fun and play like I' m 12."

"That was the first time in any sport that I have ever run into anything like that," he said. "Everybody goes through slumps, but that was a slump on steroids."
