Jay Edwards got in on the board breaking, said Nease. Nease said there would be an arena set up for individuals to learn to break boards again next year. While there were rafﬂe items, the favorite auction item of the day was a gourmet cheesecake made and donated by Anita Hajivandi which brought $225 at auction. Planning is already taking place for Bitanga’s Break-a-thon 3 to be held next fall at the new Senior Center in Middleport. The craft show will continue to be part of the event. The recipient of the funds from the third event has not yet been selected, said Nease, with the decision to be made closer to the event. A fall festival may also take place in the front lawn of the senior center in conjunction with the craft show and break-a-thon inside the building.

This Sunday, November 11th, we celebrate Veteran’s Day. Sometimes called Armistice Day, it is celebrated in many countries God’s Kids around the world Korner other than Pastor Ann just the Moody United States. It is the day when we honor the men and women who have served in the military. We also honor those who have died or been injured for the cause of freedom. It is a time for us to say thank you for the sacriﬁces they have made on our behalf; it is a time to think about the freedoms we enjoy because these men and women were willing to serve. And it is a time to think about love - the love they showed for their country and others by serving in the armed forces. Many communities have parades and ﬂy ﬂags in honor of our veterans and country. Veteran’s Day is a holiday we should all take seriously, but it is not a time to be sad. It is a happy occasion when we thank these people for their service and remember just how important our freedoms are here in America. Not every country has freedoms like we do. Even though many brave soldiers died in battle, we know those who put their trust in God are with Him. That is a promise from God’s Word. Job 19:26 says, “Even though my ﬂesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see God. I will see Him for myself.” And you know that promise is just not only for soldiers. It is for you and me, as well. It is for all who put their faith and trust in God. Jesus said, “Those who are considered worthy of taking part in the resurrection are like the angels. They can no longer die. They are God’s children.” (Luke 20: 35-36) I know these are often scary times for you as children and even us as adults, especially when we hear about terrorist attacks on innocent victims here and around the world. God knows how frightened we sometimes feel, and He is with us and helping us through those moments. Don’t ever forget God loves us and wants us to be happy and feel safe. All of us are God’s children, He will never leave or forsake us, and we will one day see Him. Won’t that be a wonderful day for us all? Remember to thank all our veterans and say a prayer for them and our country this week. Let’s say a prayer together now. Dear Father, thank You for the men and women who served and are serving now in our military to protect and preserve our freedom. We honor them now. We also pray for our safety and those who would want to hurt us. We all know that since we have placed our faith in You, we do not have to live in fear. We will live again and be with You forever. In Your holy name we pray, Amen. Last Friday, I found myself depressed. I opened God’s Word, and He began speaking this message to my heart. I pray it helps someone. “After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Do you want to go away as well?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God’” (John 6:66-69 ESV). I’m drawn to this story. Why? Because I ﬁnd myself pondering Peter’s question: “Lord, Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. ponder it, but I to whom shall we remember my go?” past. I remember With the difwhat it was like ﬁculties and disapto live in sin. I pointments that remember the come, I ﬁnd myself guilt.

And just plain misery Jesus is asking me, Isaiah inside of me. “Do you want to go Pauley But thankfully, away as well?” God grabbed my And I can. I heart. Now, I’m faced absolutely can. And on the surface, my life would with disappointments. I’m faced with glimpses be easier. And who is this God— of what it’s like to not folthis Jesus—who requires low God. Oh, how much us to deny ourselves, take more appealing it seems. Jesus’ question conup a cross, and follow tinues to ring in my ear, Him? (see Mark 8:34). “Do you want to go away That’s not an easy life. as well?” I hear that question. But I just can’t. I can’t Jesus asks, “Do you want imagine anything else. I to go away as well?” I can’t imagine living like that. I can’t imagine ﬁnding myself without this God. So with Peter, I say, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” And I’m going to tell you one thing I’ve learned in my short life: it’s all about where you go. I am who I am today because I had nowhere else to go but God’s Word. People can think what they want about me, but it’s all about where one goes. There are plenty of other options. Like sex and drugs. But it’s all about where you go. So with Peter, all I can say is, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” There comes a time when you realize the cost of following Jesus. You realize the sacriﬁce. Before long, you realize you deny yourself for the sake of obeying God. And trust me, there comes a time when you contemplate walking the easier way. But it’s not an easier way. It just looks that way. So when you’re disappointed and hard times come, it’s all about where you go. And if you go to Jesus, you’ll ﬁnd satisfaction. I mean, where else can we go? Isaiah Pauley is a 2018 graduate of Wahama High School and attends Ohio Christian University. He can be followed at www.isaiahpauley. com, or on Facebook at Isaiah Pauley Page. ‘You are what you eat,’ right? “You are what you eat,” right? At least that is how conventional wisdom deals it out to us. And, of course, there is a great deal of truth to the adage. On the other hand, Jesus might have worded it a bit differently were He to have used the expression in the days of His earthly ministry. “The eye is the lamp of the body,” said Jesus. “So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” (Mathew 6:22-23 ESV). In so many words then, “you are what you look at.” For example, if you turn your gaze (so to speak) upon those things that are negative, hurtful, or ugly (in the emotional and spiritual sense), then you allow those things to have power in the shaping of your thought life. If you watch programs, movies, or shows that mock the dignity that God has appointed for humanity (which was created, by the way, in His image), then the darkness of pride, anger, and contempt will seep into your attitude towards your fellow human beings. Envy, the desire to have what others have, is the fruit of ﬁxing one’s gaze on what another has and setting one’s affection upon it. After we ﬁx our gaze on what others have, the shadow of dissatisfaction moves into our hearts and takes up residence. And, of course, pornography quite literally ﬁlls the mind (spiritually) with the darkness of lust which portrays people as nothing more ourselves. than objects to be used. It In this passage, Jesus cultivates utterly selﬁsh speaks on greed, which attitudes and habits and is ﬁxing our eyes on snares its perpetrators material things. He talks (a.k.a. victims) in cycles about worry, which is of condemnation. the outcome of ﬁxing In a broader sense, A Hunger our proverbial stare on however, we “ﬁll our eyes for More our circumstances.

If you are not sure that this is the intended application of The heart blessed with eyes Jesus’ words in Matthew chapon God is a heart that is lifted ter 6, consider the context. up out of the ugliness of the The amazing passage of Scripworld. The soul blessed with a ture from which it is taken is heart set on God is a soul that referred to as “The Sermon on repeatedly experiences joyful the Mount” and stands as the communion with its Creator. Lord’s foundational teaching The life blessed with a soul for how we are to relate to God, ﬁlled with the presence of God how we should relate to one is a life that bears fruit and another, and how we should see leaves a lasting legacy of hope for those around it. If Jesus’ words applied to ﬁrst century Palestine, then how much more careful should we be today with millions of images passing in front of our faces all day long via the internet and television? If folks needed to be reminded to keep their eyes on God then, how desperately do you and I need also to be reminded to turn the “windows of our souls” to the light of God so that we may be ﬁlled with light, too. I occasionally hear folks say “let your light shine”, only to discover that what is meant is that one should celebrate his or her uniqueness and no particular connection to the Gospel of Jesus is intended. But without the light of God within us, the only thing you and I have to offer the world is our own brand of darkness. Turn your eyes to Jesus ﬁrst, and then let the light He sheds in your heart become a beacon to the lost world around you. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16 ESV).

We need the Lord’s encouragement At 7:30, she took him from my arms. He laid his chin on her shoulder, and looked back at me. His eyes were misty, and his brow was furrowed. I felt my own heart ripping and my nostrils ﬂaring as I choked down the emotion. It was a long hallway, but I watched till the lady in the blue uniform turned into the room where our son, Jeshua, was to have surgery. He was ﬁve years old at the time. It was not a serious surgery at all. But, you know how it feels when your kids have health problems that require more than a teaspoon of cough medicine. Jeshua was nervous. I tried to comfort him with encouraging words. “Son, I know you are afraid, and that is alright. But, this is a time to be brave. Being brave sometimes means you feel scared when you have to do things, but you do them regardless.” I reminded him other times, too, to be brave. Later in the day, as he gradually revived from the anesthetics, his ﬁrst words were, “I was brave, wasn’t I, Daddy?” I slobbered a response with, confess and repent. “Yes, Son, you were very One of the most assurbrave. You did good.

The reason God’s people fully demonstrate willingness to need not be intimidated by the adversities of life is because we have The Person of Authority, Jesus Christ, with us. After all, the Lord proved that He had the authority over disease, distress, and death. Yes, we may have dark times to transpire in our lives, but, because of the Lord’s presence with us, we need not be afraid. Third, “Be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.” Think about it. The Lord overcame every adversity. He overcame every temptation. He even overcame death. The Lord never let someone else ruin His life. He never let Satan back Him down. People opposed Him. The forces of hell opposed Him. But, He overcame them all. And, He shares that overcoming effect with us, too. God tells us to be brave and courageous, for Christian courage reﬂects trust and dependency on God. Some day you might ask, “I was brave, wasn’t I, Father?” What will He say?

It was even louder than expected until the closing seconds, when the Bearcats fans were silently ﬁling out. With a solid effort, the visitors from up north spoiled the party. Kaleb Wesson scored 15 points, and C.J. Jackson hit a driving bank shot and a pair of free throws in the ﬁnal 30 seconds Wednesday night as Ohio State held on for a 64-56 victory on the Bearcats’ long-awaited night. “I thought it would be a great environment,” coach Chris Holtmann said. “I don’t know that I anticipated this environment — it was tremendous. I’m sure at times it was not always aesthetically pleasing, two defensive teams that struggled a little offensively.” Cincinnati (0-1) played last season at Northern Kentucky University — losing only once — while its on-campus arena underwent a 20-month renovation. The Bearcats held a pregame celebration — former Bearcat star Kenyon Martin roused the crowd of 12,012 with a dunk — but couldn’t make a shot when it counted. The Buckeyes (1-0) were ahead for all but the opening minutes, leading by as many as 16 points. Jarron Cumberland led the Bearcats with 22 points. “It hurts a lot,” said Cumberland, who was 0 for 3 and failed to score as Ohio State took control in the ﬁrst half. “I don’t like losing, period. It doesn’t matter if it’s the ﬁrst game.” Ohio State hadn’t played in Cincinnati since Jan. 3, 1920, with the Buckeyes winning 35-13. The two schools located 110 miles apart had played only four times in the last 97 years, all in tournaments. Ohio State went 25-9 in Holtmann’s ﬁrst season, an unexpected showing that won him Big Ten coach of the year honors. They started the new season with an encouraging victory for an inexperienced team. “I want a bigger sample size before I make any proclamations, but we handled it pretty well,” Holtmann said. Cincinnati is trying to build upon its 31-5 season, which included the American Athletic title. The Bearcats’ season ended with the secondbiggest collapse in NCAA Tournament history, blowing a 22-point lead in the ﬁnal 11 minutes of a 75-73 loss to Nevada in the second round as their offense froze. The Bearcats were prone to long scoreless streaks last season. On Wednesday, they went more than 8 minutes between ﬁeld goals as Ohio State pulled ahead 14-8. The Bearcats heard a few boos at the half after going 4 of 29 from the ﬁeld with six turnovers and trailing 27-18.

Point hosts Miners in AA opener By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — This rubber game is more like a good old-fashioned grudge match. Both Point Pleasant and Mingo Central have split decisions with one another by a combined nine points over the last two seasons, and their third matchup provides even higher playing stakes on Saturday during a 2018 Class AA opening round playoff contest at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The eighth-seeded Big Blacks (8-1) and ninthseeded Miners (8-2) have provided a pair of instant classics in their recent head-to-head bouts, which happened to be the 2017 and 2018 regular season openers for each program. MCHS — as defending Class AA state champions — used a 31-yard Hail Mary pass from Jeremy Dillon to Dawson Elia with no time remaining in regulation to snap Point’s then state-best 43-game regular season winning streak with a dramatic 36-34 decision in the 2017 opener at OVB Field. This fall, the Big Blacks got a little revenge by scoring 14 unanswered points in the ﬁnal 16 minutes of regulation while knocking off the host Point Pleasant defenders Jovone Johnson (11), James Musgrave (13), Nick Parsons (42) and Josh Wamsley (2) combine to bring down a James Monroe ball carrier during a Week 11 football contest at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Miners by a 42-35 count in Delbarton. That is the brief history between these two programs, with each game going in favor of the road team. The two schools, however, do have some similar history in regards to the postseason. Point Pleasant is hosting a playoff game for a sixth straight year as part of qualifying for its 11th consecutive postseason appearance and 16th overall. The Big Blacks have won their last ﬁve opening-round playoff contests. Mingo Central — which has been in at least the state semiﬁnals each of the past three years — is making its seventh consecutive postseason appearance and is unbeaten in its last four opening-round games. Something will have to give in this third gridiron matchup, which should prove to be more of a gem than a charm. Point Pleasant is also 5-0 in Saturday afternoon games at OVB Field, with the last one coming during a 38-20 victory over Jefferson in the opening round of the 2014 Class AAA playoffs. PPHS football coach David Darst believes that ﬁrst-hand knowledge of both the adversary and the task at hand are good motivators headed into the playoff opener. He also notes that it’s going to take 48 minutes of quality football — and having the 12th man behind them shouldn’t hurt the cause. “I think that it is to our advantage that this game is at home and it’s someone we are familiar with. Mingo Central is a really tough opponent, so I don’t think that our kids will be coming in taking this one too lightly. We all know better than that with this opponent,” Darst said. “Our challenge is ﬁnding that energy level that we had in the ﬁrst half against Spring Valley and sustaining it for 48 minutes. That football team is good enough to beat anybody in the state in double-AA, not just Point Pleasant, so we really have to be at our best if we want to move on. “I think that the game being played on Saturday afternoon adds a little excitement for both teams. It’s not the sameold, same-old and I think playoff games should be special. This one will be tough, but it should be fun too.” See OPENER | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, November 9, 2018 7 Browns GM Dorsey to lead search for team’s next coach Miami Baptiste said. Dorsey has signiﬁcantly overhauled Cleveland’s roster since he was hired last year after the Haslams dismissed head of football operations Sashi Brown. Although Dorsey has never been in charge of hiring a coach, the Haslams are turning to their top football executive to help them ﬁnd a replacement for Jackson, who was brought back for a third season despite going 1-31 in his ﬁrst two. Jackson was the third coach ﬁred by the Haslams since they took over the franchise in 2012. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley was also let go by Jimmy Haslam, who cited “internal discord” as the chief reason behind his decision.

Cumberland hit a pair of free throws, a jumper and a 3-pointer that cut it to 60-56 with 59 seconds left. The Bearcats missed their next two shots, and Jackson made a driving bank shot to end the comeback. He ﬁnished with 13 points. “I know people don’t want to hear this because you’re going to ask me about offense, but Ohio State scored 27 in the ﬁrst half and if we’d held them to 27 in the second half we would have won by two,” coach Mick Cronin said. “So we’re capable of that.” Series history The teams met twice in NCAA Tournament title games, with Cincinnati winning in 1961 and 1962. They’d met only twice since then, both times on neutral courts. Ohio State won 72-50 at the Wooden Tradition in Indianapolis in 2006, and 81-66 in an NCAA Tournament regional semiﬁnal in Boston in 2012. Leaving Columbus The Buckeyes are 25-1 against Ohio teams since the 1995-96 season, the only loss 60-59 to Dayton in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. The Buckeyes’ last true road game against an Ohio team was an 89-86 loss at University of Dayton Arena on Dec. 16, 1986. Overall, Ohio State is 175-30 in Columbus against Ohio teams, 50-41 in road games and 8-8 at neutral sites.

Cleveland’s general manager since December, Dorsey will head the team’s search for a coach to replace Hue Jackson, who was ﬁnally ﬁred last month after winning just three of 40 games over two-plus seasons. It was assumed Dorsey would lead the pursuit for Jackson’s successor, and vice president of communications Peter John-Baptiste conﬁrmed that Wednesday night to dispel speculation the Haslams were going to handle the duties themselves.

The Thunder didn’t panic and regrouped in the closing minutes to defeat the Cleveland Cav aliers 95-86 on Wednes day night. “Thank God we were able to make a few more shots and get some late stops,” Oklahoma City coach Billy Donovan said. “I give our guys credit. We persevered and stayed with it. To get a win on the road is a good thing.” Dennis Schroder scored a season-high 28 points in replacing the injured Westbrook, who sprained his left ankle Monday. Oklahoma City won its sixth straight game with out the two-time MVP after starting the season 0-4. Schroder, starting in Westbrook’s place, was 11 for 19 from the field.

(AP) — Kevin Har vick’s bid for a second NASCAR title suffered a massive setback Wednesday when he was stripped of his berth in the champi onship race because his winning car failed inspection after Texas Motor Speedway. The discovery of an illegally modified spoiler, made during a detailed post-race inspection after the No. 4 Ford returned to NASCAR’s Research and Development Center following Sunday’s race, negates the automatic berth Harvick earned into the final four. The rule violated states that spoilers must be used exactly as supplied from the manufacturer and not altered.

Turns out, the father of Nannie and Sarie, my great grandfather, Alonzo Dickens, served in the U.S. Army in World War I.

While in Flanders Fields, my great grandfather placed poppy seeds in his pocket and carried them all the way back to his home in West Columbia in Mason County, where my great grandmother got them to grow. Then, my Nannie got the seeds to grow in Point Pleasant and my aunt Sarie did the same in Barberton, Ohio. Though the poppies no longer grow at the homes of my grandmother or my aunt Sarie since they passed away, family members have carried on the tradition (and the seeds) and they have bloomed in places far from Belgium right here in the Ohio Valley. If something as fragile as poppy seeds can make the journey from Belgium to West Virginia and bloom nearly 100 years later, we can all survive Facebook posts we don’t like. Instead of making a comment on social media, Google “In Flanders Fields,” make the effort to thank a veteran for their service, and take a moment to appreciate the ones who tend the poppies for next year.

Dennis Rayburn has primarily resided in Point Pleasant the entirety of his life, only leaving for times of overseas training or deployment for the military. “I liked the military from the beginning,” said Rayburn, “I liked the order. It’s a situation where most individuals can gain success and promotion through effort and the military is highly based on the idea of respect, respect for rank. It’s certainly different than civilian life.” On April 21, 1978 when Rayburn was 23 years old he began his journey with the Army National Guard. He served for 37.5 years, retiring in 2005. Rayburn ranked as an E-7 Sargeant First Class and Why I love my country “I love my country because it has provided me with the ability to follow my own path and work to achieve the goals that I set forward and throughout my life I had multiple opportunities to encounter individuals from other countries that didn’t have the same access, so I cherish my freedom.” — Dennis Rayburn for the majority of his service he worked in electronics repair and maintenance, for over 20 years he was an electronics repair chief. He Rayburn was awarded nine different Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) codes as he was willing to move from one position to another in order to achieve rank and responsibility. Rayburn also studied at the University of Charleston graduating with an associate’s degree in Military Management. “The most fulﬁlling aspect of my service was leadership responsibilities, mentoring young soldiers. I had a very high success rate in urging individuals who served under me to go on and become ofﬁcers, but my primary desire was to provide guidance and support to other troops,” said Rayburn. During his time in the military, Rayburn served in the military through every conﬂict after Vietnam. In many cases, he supported the conﬂicts from his home Submitted photo Dennis Rayburn in Iraq during his deployment. base in Point Pleasant at the 3664th Maintenance Company, but did deploy during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Eight years of his service were active duty, largely for training missions and once for deployment. He visited places such as Germany, France, Belgium, Kuwait, Iraq, and Austria. “I enjoyed traveling in Europe a great deal, my experience there was the people were very open and enjoyed meeting and associating with new people, but I’ve never had any problem meeting people,” said Rayburn, “I never met a stranger.” Though being a member of the National Guard has been a major portion of Rayburn’s life, he has another part of his life just as important. Rayburn married his wife, Elizabeth Bechtel Rayburn in 1981. She stayed by his side during his time in and after the service.Though difﬁcult when apart from one another, they prevailed. “It’s always hard to be away from family,” said Rayburn, “especially in the National Guard, when you’re called up to support ﬂood issues and things like that because even your own family could be adversely effected, but you still have to report for duty, but in my span of service communications have gotten so immediate. Over the years when I went to Iraq, it amazed me the ability to maintain a regular contact with home.” One aspect he greatly enjoyed about his time in the service was the See STORY | 5 Looking at the many years of service: then and now By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — Joining the U.S. defense services is a longtime tradition for citizens who wish to learn how to better serve and defend their country and many continue to serve after having retired. Charlie Huber, 73, of Gallipolis, serves as the commander of the American Legion Lafayette Post 27 as well as a member of VFW 4464’s Honor Guard which presents veterans their last funeral rites in Gallia County. Huber is also a member of American Veterans, DAV, Vietnam Veterans of America, and Safeside Association Air Force Light Infantry. Outside of his veterans’ service activities, he has also been active as a regional Lion’s Club member and with Gallipolis Neighborhood Watch. “It’s a busy month,” said Huber. “We’ve been going to schools and talking about what the ﬂags mean and being in the service and trying to get to funerals…It’s important to keep the memories of veterans going and giving them what is due them. I just want to help where I can, however I can. Whether that’s in the legion or honor guard or something else.” “I enlisted in the Air Force around 1965 and ‘66 and I was a security cop on a ﬂight line in Korea,” said Huber. “We had an incident in Korea and they shipped me off to Ranger School.” According to Huber, he and a colleague were walking a security route around planes they oversaw before they encountered four individuals reportedly carrying bomb satchels. Huber and his colleague called the security alert team to assist before they were ﬁred upon and they returned ﬁre. The team soon arrived and the satchel carriers were neutralized between Huber, his colleague and the team. The next day, Huber was called to his commander’s ofﬁce and told he would be reporting to Ranger School. “I was only in Korea for maybe four months,” said Huber. “We were in Hawaii and there were 500 in the training and only two of us made it through all the training. This was around 1966. We had mortars. We had APCS. We had a sniper unit that I was also a part of occasionally. We had blocking forces, ambushes. We had everything. We were at Phù Cát (Air Force Base), which is above Qui Nhon in Vietnam. We were there about a year and then we were transferred back to the states. We were called the 1041st Security Police Squadron, aka Air Force Rangers.” According to safesideassociation.org, “The Air Force had two units serving in Vietnam which should be classiﬁed as “special forces” - the Combat Control Teams (CCTs) and the Combat Security Police (CSPs)… The forerunner of the Combat Security Police was the 1041st Security Police Squadron which received sixteen weeks of Ranger type training from Army Ranger instructors at Schoﬁeld Barracks, Hawaii as part of ‘OPERATION SAFESIDE.’ As a result of the success of the 1041st Security Police Squadron during its tour in Vietnam, Combat Security Police Squadrons were formed Why I love my country “Having the freedom to do and live how you want.” — Charlie Huber and trained as an elite light infantry, combining the skills of the Army’s Rangers and the British RAF Regiment.” “It was a new thing,” said Huber. “When they declassiﬁed us several years later…373 contacts with the enemy, 155 ambushes successful, 154 blocking forces successful, we didn’t know all this stuff. We didn’t pay attention. We just went to work and did what we had to do…Two hundred went and two hundred (came home).” “We went down to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and we started the Ranger School down there for Air Force,” said Huber. “Then squadrons like the 821st, twenty-second and twenty-third, they were over in Iraq and Afghanistan now, they were a part of our group. We were the beginning of those people.” Huber eventually retired from active military life as a staff sergeant ﬂight line security supervisor in 1970. Huber’s grandparents lived in Gallia.

Huber serves as a funeral director, has been a youth minister and owned a restaurant, Charlie’s and Company, with his family for nearly 10 years on Court Street at one point. They opened the restaurant in 1984 and it closed around 1993. He worked with Chris-Craft for a time. He said he received a business administration degree from the University of Rio Grande as God Bless Our Veterans well. He said it wasn’t uncommon for children to gather at his restaurant where they were helped with homework. He helped with lunches that were given out at church to children as well. “We had started a Gallia County Youth Committee for all the churches that got together to split activities and do things together,” said Huber. Huber shares two daughters, Amy and Abby, with his wife Peggy.

The military veteran, who served in both the United States Navy and Air Force, died in February 2018. As part of the tribute to Bailey, many Meigs County bikers, veterans and others escorted Bailey’s remains and his family to Arlington National Cemetery. Bailey was still in high school when he enlisted in the United States Navy on June 13, 1944, and served until his discharge on March 20, 1946. He returned home and completed his studies, receiving a diploma from Chester High School, Class of 1948. Immediately following graduation, Bailey enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, serving as an instructor for Radar Fundamentals and a Communications Advisor to the Saudi Air Force. He worked on the guidance system for Friendship 7, the rocket that carried astronaut John Glenn on the ﬁrst U.S. orbital ﬂight, and advised the Italian Air Force on the Jupiter missile. Bailey served as a nuclear missile launch crew member for three years before retiring in September 1966.

Post 9926 of Mason Investing in the community’s youth By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP MASON — Investing in the community’s youth is a major commitment for members of the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 of Mason, and they demonstrate it in several different ways. Contests, scholarships, donations and community events are all included in what the Mason V.F.W. does for its service area of Mason and Meigs counties. Two contests are held each year in the local high schools – the Voice of Democracy and the Patriot’s Pen. Post winners receive plaques and a $100 cash prize, and are recognized at the V.F.W. Loyalty Day Dinner in the spring. The Voice of Democracy is an audio-essay contest for students in grades 9-12. Each year a different theme is chosen and the student speaks on that topic. The post winner goes on to district competition. The district winner then goes to state competition, and ﬁnally to nationals, where the student is eligible for a $30,000 scholarship. The Patriot’s Pen is for students in grades 6-8, with the national winner receiving $5,000 and a paid trip to Washington, D.C. This competition is a written essay. In addition to the Voice of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen winners, several other youth are also recognized at the Post 9926 Loyalty Day Dinner. The V.F.W. chooses a Scout of the Year, who also goes on for a chance at being named district or state winner. According to Ray Varian, post commander, the scout competition is a very lengthy process for the applicant with a lot of paperwork and recommendations. The Scout of the Year program provides scouts who display outstanding citizenship, patriotism, and love of country with the opportunity of winning scholarships up to $5,000. Along with the national V.F.W.-based scholarship programs, the Stewart-Johnson post hosts several of its own. Three scholarships are awarded on Loyalty Day that are named in honor or memory of post members, or members of the auxiliary. And, at the high school awards ceremonies, the local V.F.W. presents ﬁfteen $500 scholarships to seniors in Mason and Meigs counties. The Mason V.F.W. does far more than contests and scholarships for Bend Area children, however. Community events are held at the post home on Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. At Halloween, members dress in costume and set up trunk-or-treat stations in the parking lot. Two events are held at Christmas. While one party is open for the entire community, including a visit from Santa, a second party is held for the participants and families of Special Olympics. In the spring, Mindy Kearns | Courtesy A number of youth awards are presented by the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 each year at the Loyalty Day Dinner. Pictured at this year’s dinner in April were award winners, from left, Bailey Caruthers and Savannah Diehl, Meigs High School students who were presented college scholarships; Isaiah Pauley, Wahama High School senior and Voice of Democracy audio-essay contest winner; Allison Warth, Wahama student and winner of the Patriot’s Pen written essay contest; Ryan Harbour, Eastern High School student and Scout of the Year; and Post Commander Ray Varian. an Easter egg hunt is held on the grounds for all the local children. Perhaps some of the most important, yet lesser known, ways the post helps youth is simply when a school, group or individual asks for assistance. “We try to help everyone,” Varian said. “It’s all about the veterans and the kids. We support most anything the community wants to do, if they just let us know.” He said the members like when those requesting donations come to a meeting, rather than sending a letter. They also commit more readily to those who are also working to help themselves. Some of their recent OHIO VALLEY BANK donations have gone to town fall festivals, elementary school class trips, and church youth mission trips. They also work with Bend Area C.A.R.E. during the catﬁsh tournament and other fundraisers to help provide gifts for needy children at Christmas. The American Flag is dear to all veterans, Varian said, and the Stewart-Johnson post members do all they can to not only provide the ﬂags where they are needed, but also teach children proper ﬂag etiquette. Around Veterans Day, post members tell elementary school children about the ﬂag, how to properly display it, and how to take care and dispose of it. Varian concluded that a number of their projects are in conjunction with the Smith-Capehart American Legion Post 140 of New Haven, and that many local veterans are members of both organizations.

After New Guinea, Bailey was stationed on Los Nergos Island with the Navy 3205 Repair Unit. It was there that the Navy had two dry docks where they could work on ships, which could no longer go to Pearl Harbor for repairs after the attacks in December 1941. Bailey explained that at one time two Japanese planes attempted to bomb the area, but one of the bombs they dropped went into the empty dry dock, therefore causing no damage to ships or repair equipment. In the jungle region, malaria was a concern for the soldiers and there was no vaccine available for it. Bailey said there was two pills which those stationed there would take each day to help prevent it.

In Cairo, Egypt on New Years Day 1954 he went to the national museum, seeing artifacts from King Tut’s tomb which had been discovered not long before that. In Baghdad, Bailey said they never left the airport and he never saw an automobile. He noted that some of the food was different, having ate camel steak and water buffalo steak. After leaving Saudi Arabia, Bailey was stationed in Columbus with the 91st armament and electronic maintenance squadron. With that unit he traveled to Newfoundland, an island off the coast of Canada. Looking for a Master Sgt. with eight years remaining to work on guidance of the Jupiter missile, Bailey, who had seven years, eight months service remaining was selected and sent to Huntsville, Alabama. He was then deployed to Italy as a guidance adviser to the Italian Air Force. Returning back stateside to Witchita, Kansas, Bailey was part of the crew for the Titan2 missile. On Sept. 1, 1966, Bailey retired from the Air Force, returning home to Bashan. Bailey ended his career as an E9, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. Bailey, three of his brothers and a brotherin-law all served overseas during war time. Bailey, who was nearly 90 at the time of the interview in 2016, resided in Bashan in a house on the same property where he grew up, and continued to serve his community as a 50 year member of the Bashan Volunteer Fire Department. He was also a member of VFW Post 9053, DAV 53, American Legion Post 128 and TREA (Washington).

According to Newsome, the journey went off “without a hitch.” “There were no problems, most people showed courtsey and respect during our travels. The Bikers were well organized and along with the West Virginia State Police, led us safely to our destination.” The accompanying group was made up of 50 Bikers, most of who carried riders and 20 vehicles. With the Bikers leading the way, the West Virginia State Police escorted the group across the entire state.

You know what these guys have been through, and it’s not just them. It’s their families.” Thomas would gesture to an old Gallipolis Daily Tribune page hanging from his ofﬁce wall featuring the photos of veterans who had served in World War II. “Just like those WWII guys,” said Thomas. “No one knows what their moms and dads lived with. They loved those guys just as much as we love our children. They didn’t have cell phones or computers or anything like we have now to note if they were alive or dead. So, the sacriﬁce that those guys lend to the freedom of the coun- File photo The Gallia Veterans Service Commission often hosts veterans memorial services in Gallipolis City Park like the Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony.GVSC Executive Director John Thomas addresses the crowd at a previous Memorial Day ceremony. try, their family did the same thing. Their moms and dads were working and rationing and coming together to support the demands of the war. In recent times, the Vietnam (Conﬂict), Korea or Iraq and Afghanistan, those guys made tremendous sacriﬁces also and the fact that you served them and helped them with things that can help them move forward with their life, there are educational beneﬁts that they might get and helping them with compensation they might get for injuries, that gives you a good feeling.” Thomas noted that while many jobs were important in society, he felt he and his colleagues took pride in what they did especially because they felt it made a direct impact on veterans and their families. He noted that navigating ofﬁce issues did have its challenges at times, but the services ofﬁce staff was there to assist Gallia’s veteran families in anyway it can. The ofﬁce at times assists with transport of veterans for medical treatment. It may assist them with Veterans Affairs claims preparation assistance, assist them in claiming educational beneﬁts, processing Veterans Affairs loan application information, processing burial beneﬁts as will as Veterans Affairs insurance information. Those who qualify can apply for emergency assistance with food vouchers or utilities and other such things. The ofﬁce will also help organize any documents in Veterans Affairs communication. According to Gallianet.net, “Since 1886, all Ohio counties have operated under the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Relief Act to provide service and assistance to veterans. This provision for veterans is based on county taxes, and is considered to be an Land of the free and home of the brave because of you. earned beneﬁt due our honorably discharged veterans.” The commission is compromised of Gallia veterans with representatives from AmVets, the DAV, American Legion, VFW and Vietnam Veterans.
