Shamblin, an eighth grade student at South Gallia, chose to explore chromatic adaptation, which is the process by which the eyes can be deceived into seeing an object that is not there. A common example of this would be posts online where the viewer must stare at one image for a length of time, then stare at a second image and see the first as well. At the state level Shamblin earned at 33 excellent rating. If she had earned a 36, she would have earned a trip to nationals. “I first started doing this in class for our school science fair,” said Shamblin. After that, she attended the county science fair and districts, where she earned a 36, propelling her to the state level.

Bill Venters and Family 60720001 �E ditorial 4A Sunday, May 21, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel THEIR VIEW Locally, CDBG has proven its worth Community Development Block Grants, a funding source for everything from rent assistance for low-income folks to infrastructure improvement, is okay for 2017 thanks to the spending plan recently worked out by Congress and signed by President Trump. But the program’s continued existence is unsure since the federal budget proposal for 2018 calls for a zeroing-out of CDBG. It’s a move cheered by some individuals who claim the program is a cesspool of graft that hardly helps its intended segment of the population. Others argue for its continuation because Kevin CDBG has made, at the least, some Kelly kind of difference in their communiContributing ties. columnist In our portions of southern Ohio and the western edge of West Virginia, CDBG’s more visible benefits are seen in better roads and bridges. But the program, established in 1974 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, has broader parameters designed to live up its title of community development. From assisting low-income programs and such housing-related offshoots (and thus justifying its status under HUD), CDBG has done a lot of good for our area. Its continuation means more help for deserving people, as well as a beacon of hope that with some federal aid, all of our lives are improved, even if it CDBG represents a is a repaved section source of funding to of heavily-used rural help get things done road. CDBG money is in light of less and parceled out to the less revenue with states by Washington, which to operate. which is then distributed to counties, cities and non-profit agencies applying for assistance. Locally, county government, townships and municipalities submit applications for certain needed projects, such as extension of sewer service to areas with crumbling sanitation systems or no sanitation. Money is awarded to these projects based on several considerations. Although for some applicants it’s a better-luck-next-time way of doing things, it’s better than nothing or for cashstrapped communities shouldering the expense themselves. Local government funding from Ohio’s biennial spending plan continues to shrink, and while this piece was written, the West Virginia Legislature and Gov. Jim Justice still struggled to craft a state budget acceptable to both sides. Gallipolis will again seek passage of a 1 percent increase in the city income tax on Nov. 7 to maintain public safety. CDBG represents a source of funding to help get things done in light of less and less revenue with which to operate. Its loss, if approved, delays many local improvements, perhaps for always. Research has shown the program, like others, has been misappropriated, lost or stolen over time in large and small states, as Scott Shackford of reason.com maintained in March when the proposal to cut CDBG came to light. “The CDBG program is chock full of cronyism and corruption and should be eliminated,” Shackford wrote. “Much like corrupt city redevelopment agencies, what actually ends up happening is that the money gets funneled by politicians to friends with connections to various projects that aren’t really helping the poor at all.” Yet, Erik Sherman, writing at the same time for forbes.com, acknowledged CDBG’s important role in supporting non-profits and like-minded organizations. “Is there waste?” Sherman asked. “Perhaps. Is there good done? From what I’ve seen, yes.” In the give-and-take, deal-making world in which creating a budget exists, a proposal to cut CDBG doesn’t always mean that’s what we can expect. What should be expected, or even hoped, is that our area congressmen, Bill Johnson of Ohio’s Sixth District that includes Gallia and Meigs counties, and Evan Jenkins, whose Third District in West Virginia covers Mason County, have seen the worth of CDBG and what it’s done for the people in the areas they represent. Additionally, we hope they will recognize more needs to be done and support changes to the proposed federal budget that keep CDBG and its parent agency an active part of community development. There is a possibility that in the extreme, CDBG could be eliminated so that equally important programs impacting citizens are allowed to continue. There are no guarantees any what will happen when Congress takes up the 2018 budget, but with states and districts that have benefited from CDBG, we hope a significant number of our legislators will cast a favorable eye on its continuation.

THEIR VIEW Gingrich Vatican move a slap to Catholics So let me put my cards on the table at the beginning: I definitely believe in judging. Pope Francis would be very disappointed in me, since he has made a habit of saying “Who Am I To Judge?” usually on airplanes and usually talking about gays, lesbians and Republicans. But while the pope is a good Catholic (I have it on good authority that’s he’s one of the best in the profession), I am not. So, I can judge to my heart’s content, and still apply for the sinner’s discount on Judgment Day (pun intended). All of this is to say I have no problem whatsoever judging Callista Gingrich who, coincidentally, will likely be going to the Vatican and NOT be judged by Pope Francis.

Kennedy’s tweet from Donald telling sisters was the Ambassador to the Vatican her that he was sending (ATTV). Cokey Roberts’ mother, Sen. Lindy Boggs, was an ATTV. A professor at Harvard law, the president of Catholic Relief Services and Ray Flynn, former mayor of Boston, have also been ATTVs. They had long and impressive resumes, and you can be sure that the respective popes they served did not have to raise any eyebrows about their qualifications or character. This pope won’t be raising anything either, but with Callista, he would definitely be entitled to. Since he won’t, I will. First, the good things. Callista Gingrich is a lifelong, devout and practicing Catholic. She runs a production company called, creatively, “Gingrich Productions,” and has produced a documentary about Pope John Paul II. She has written children’s books about a patriotic elephant, and in the 1990s served as See CATHOLICS | 5A THEIR VIEW Celebrating the rituals of spring I’ve been meaning to write this column for years. The inspiration will invariably come some warm May evening as I am standing in the lobby of a downtown hotel and, suddenly, a limousine sweeps up and disgorges these boys in crisp tuxes, these girls in sparkly dresses, T-shirts and hoodies abandoned for the night, looking handsome and gorgeous and startlingly adult as they seek the ballroom where the prom is being held. Or the inspiration will arrive on a June afternoon as I am passing a chapel where some poor photographer is wrangling children, flower girls and ring bearers much more interested in frolicking on the grass than in posing for posterity, as groomsmen and bridesmaids arrange themselves just so while the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. beam, having age of urgent news. just vowed to face Did you hear about together whatever Leonard the president blabcomes.

There is renewal in these rituals of spring. They allow you to remember that even now, some things are still good. And to believe they always will be.

The signs, were not the only message of support for the local law enforcement. Rutland resident Alexis Schwab, who works as a victim advocate at the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office as well as being a full-time college student, spent time making the signs, as well as gifts for all of the officers in the county. While Schawb works at the prosecutor’s office, this project was something that she did outside of work and was not connected with the office. For Schwab, the support of law enforcement is something that has a family connection, as well as a role in her future. She explained that her grandfather was an officer in the Washington D.C. area, and that she plans to attend the police academy in the future. As for National Police Week, Schwab said she has taken photos to document what she has worked on this year, and plans to expand it next year. Individual bags presented to each officer with the five police departments in the county and the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office included a “Law Enforcement Officer Survival Kit”, letters of support which were written by students in two classes at Southern Local, as well as other items. The “Survival Kit for Law Enforcement Officers” included, Lifesavers — To remind you Fight of the many times you have been one; Smarties — To give you wisdom for those split second decisions; Gum — To remind everyone to stick together; Tootsie Roll — To help you roll with the punches; Mounds — For the mounds of courage you show; Laffy Taffy — To remind you that laughter is a great stress reliever; Hershey Kisses — Because you deserve them from all; Starburst — For the burst of energy you’ll need; Payday — And you’re not doing it for the money. Additionally, cards were made with the saying, Imagine…Leaving your family and going to work every day knowing that people hate you simply for doing your job — knowing that people will hurt you, even try to kill you, simply because you wear a badge. Thank a law enforcement officer and wear this ribbon to show your support. Each of the cards had a black ribbon with a thin blue line on it attached, which the recipient could wear in support of law enforcement. “National Police Week (May 14thMay 20th) and is to remember the fallen and honor the ones who serve. Everyday these amazing people put their life on the line each time they clock in,” said Schwab. “They serve and protect our communities and never ask for anything in return. Cops work for a cause not applause! If you see a cop, thank them for all they do for our communities whether it is Police Week or not.” ously injured.

Wright, the executive director of the French Art Colony gave the opening remarks, lauded the work of Willet, and gave many thanks to the board for his time as director; this was his last event with the French Art Colony. Donna Collins is the Executive Director of the Ohio Arts Council, and was present to give a special address to the FAC Board of Trust- Council From page 1A to the village, and methods by which residents could be more involved in governing. Normal council business followed. A resident, deemed the group’s unofficial spokesperson, summarized they wanted ways to “stay more informed, and improve the situation overall,” describing that “the town is just not what it used to be,” and concluding, “how do we become more involved?” Councilperson Debbie Clay welcomed the active input, asserting “You just did.” “It’s great to see this many people here. I’d like to see this many people more often,” Clay continued, which was echoed by other council members. Syracuse officials in general disagreed with negative assessments of the town’s trajectory, but were frank about their decision making process and the revenue shortfalls they said hinder village operations. The group departed the meeting having hammered out volunteer roles and setting small group sessions with village officials to give more direct ees. In doing so, she explained the hard work, long-term dedication, and perseverance of one individual who has been giving to the arts in Ohio for many years. “Jan Thaler has given so much of herself. It’s more than just writing a check, it’s more than just giving time,” said Collins, surprising Thaler with the special recognition. Over the years Thaler has been involved with the Ohio Arts Council, countless regional arts events and committees, mentored several people (including Collins), and currently sits as the chair of the Board of Trustees for the French Art Colony.

The village’s insurance was renewed through the Ohio Plan, an risk pool focusing on coverage for government entities, following a presentation by an Ohio Plan representative. The council held a first reading of an ordinance to allow charging a fee for fire department services at car accidents. Council members indicated they would pursue automobile insurance companies rather than individuals. Councilperson Scott Wolfe requested the session agenda be available prior to council meetings, to allow relevant information to be gathered in advance by village officials. Councilperson Eber Pickens, Jr. outlined the status of pool repairs, and estimated opening day would be delayed less than a week. He also gave an overview of a variety of cost saving/revenue generating measures implemented recently regarding the pool, but asked for ideas and coordination from the public. The next regularly scheduled meeting of Syracuse Village Council is June 8 at 7 p.m. in the Syracuse Village Hall. Michael Hart is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing a Congressional aide. Which is where she met her current husband, who at that time was the current husband of his wife of 18 years, Marianne Gingrich. In 1999, Gingrich told Marianne that he was having an affair with Callista and wanted a divorce. I don’t feel all that bad for Marianne because she, too, was having an affair with randy Newt while he was married to his first wife, who was battling cancer. But still, this shows a pattern that the former Speaker of the House seems to have perfected: Find a woman, marry her, find another woman, date her while still married to your wife, divorce that wife, hang on for a while, find another woman to date, divorce the intermediate wife, get married to the next one. Rinse, repeat. But Newt isn’t being nominated to hang out with the pope, even the kind that doesn’t like to judge. His wife is, the one who had an affair even while she was supposedly being devout and going to church and thinking about her future as children’s book author. You might think that I am being very mean and “judgey” here, and you would be absolutely correct. I mean, I warned you in the first sentence, but just like Elizabeth Warren, God bless her, you persisted. But the point is Trump has chosen as the U.S. representative to the Vatican a woman who committed adultery when I’m fairly certain he could have found at least one happily married Catholic somewhere who hadn’t double-dipped. The fact that he selected Callista Gingrich for the job is going to be excused by the sort of people who think Trump can do no wrong, and condemned by the sort of people who hate him. I neither hate, nor love the man. I do, however, love my faith, and this ambassadorial choice is a slap in the face to all Catholics. Sue me for judging. Christine M.

That’s because, for the first time in almost two full decades, Jason Peck will not be occupying them. After 17 seasons of involvement with South Gallia football, including the past seven as head coach, Peck has resigned that position — having accepted the job of defensive coordinator at Hocking College. That’s correct. In an interview on Thursday, Peck said the time to make this move was just right — and the opportunity ahead was just too much to pass up. “It’s hard to leave and it’s sad to leave, but this was just simply an opportunity at the right time for me and something I had to do,” said Peck. Thus, after seven seasons as head coach, Peck steps down with a 33-39 record, including two Division VII state playoff appearances in 2011 and 2015. The Rebels of six years ago posted a 7-4 mark, as the 2013 and 2015 clubs went 6-4 in the regular season. Actually, he has been part of all four Rebel playoff berths, having served as defensive coordinator to Justy Burleson for seven seasons — prior to taking over when Burleson left for Vinton County. Burleson’s Rebels reached the postseason in back-to-back years of 2005 and 2006. Peck spent three years as an assistant to Donnie Saunders, as South Gallia High School has only been open for 20. Before his time at SGHS, he was at Southwestern High School, which consolidated and became a Rebel feeder. “We hate to see him go, we’re going to miss him, but we’re really proud at South Gallia to see him have an opportunity to coach at the college level,” said SGHS Athletic Director Jacob Attar. “In athletics, that doesn’t happen very much. He’s had a lot of success for a small Division VII program. He is a great coach and a great guy and he leaves here on great terms. Once a Rebel, always a Rebel. This is an opportunity for him and a great move for him, so we are happy for him.

Edwards. 3 Raiders sign to play college football By Paul Boggs :,911=Ľ-3@3>+=7/.3+L-97 GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Simply put, the Raiders keep on rolling out the college signees. That’s because on Saturday, as part of the annual River Valley High School Football Signing Day ceremony, three Raider seniors officially announced their college intentions — as Tre Craycraft and Robert Drummond will continue their careers at Marietta College while Josh Marcum made Muskingum University his future football home. The ceremony — in which the three were flanked by the River Valley High School football coaching staff, school administration, family members and friends — took place at the Courtside Bar and Grill in Gallipolis. For the Raiders, they have now had 11 players over the past three years commit to playing college football —including six following the 2015 season and two from three years ago. Craycraft became the first 1,000-yard wide receiver in school history, while both Drummond and Marcum started and even lined up on the same side of the offensive line as seniors. All three have committed to play at those same positions at the next level. Craycraft and Drummond, both first-team all-Southeast District Division V honorees last season, will play for head coach Andy Waddle at Marietta. “It means a lot that I have someone from my home school going to play with me,” said Craycraft. “That way, I’m not in a culture shock with no one else. Playing against Josh will be fun because all three of us are competitive. We’ll probably give each other some crap back and forth, but besides that it, it will be fun.” Marcum, meanwhile, will join the Fighting Muskies of head coach Al Logan. Both schools are members of the Ohio Athletic Conference, competing in the NCAA Division III. River Valley head football coach Jerrod Sparling said this year’s trio of signees are “program guys”, who overcame adversity early on in their careers. They are part of the winningest senior class in RVHS football history, which went 5-5, 7-4 and 6-4 in their final three seasons. In 2015, the Raiders qualified for the state playoffs for the first time in school history. “When we made the playoffs, that’s been the biggest deal I’ve ever been through. It meant a lot to everyone in the community. The football team, the school, everybody,” said Craycraft. Everybody is right. “This is especially rewarding for us as a football program and school and community. These are three purely program guys,” said Sparling. “All three guys that signed here today, each of them had their own individual situations that they had to work through. Tre (Craycraft) played his role and accepted it, then when it was his time his senior year, he became a star for us and became the school’s first 1,000-yard wide receiver. Robert (Drummond) had to wait until his senior year to start. I don’t know if there is anybody in our program that has fallen on more plyo boxes than Robert Drummond throughout his career. But over the years, he has worked so hard. So for it to finally come together for him physically and mentally, for him to have this moment, it’s a heartwarming story because he truly worked for and earned this. The same is true for Josh (Marcum). We weren’t sure about him making it as a younger guy, but low and behold, he had a great senior year and became one of the anchors of our offensive line. All three of these guys are program guys that worked their way up through the ranks and did everything we asked them to do. They earned everything they got. That’s so rewarding as a coaching staff, school and community to see these kids fulfill their dreams and take the next step in their football and academic careers.” Both Craycraft and Drummond discussed why they choose to play for the Pioneers. On the field, they said their offense is similar to River Valley’s spread-thefield formation attack. “I felt Marietta and their coaching staff was more interested in me. I just liked the whole family aspect, especially how vaunted their offensive line was, which was pretty important to me. I took my mom with me, and they treated her very well and respected her. See RAIDERS | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, May 21, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel Fairfield fends off Lady Tornadoes, 12-8 Raiders By Alex Hawley So it came down to just those factors and their educational aspects,” said Drummond. “And it’s not very far of a drive, only about an hour-anda-half away.” “Their (Pioneers) football program and their academics are both really good,” added Craycraft. “Their community, it’s not a big city. It’s kind of like Gallia County. Kind of like home. It’s not really a big change for me.” Marcum mentioned a similar tone to his choice of Muskingum. “One of the main reasons I choose Muskingum was because they have what I wanted to major in, which is nursing. And Muskingum felt very homie. It didn’t feel like it was two-and-a-half hours away. It felt like you were just right down the road,” said Marcum. Drummond did visit Ohio Wesleyan a month ago but remained with Marietta, as did Craycraft, who took a gameday visit to John Carroll — when they played the Pioneers. Craycraft caught the most attention of the three — obviously because he was a skilledposition player who starred at receiver, defensive back and on special teams. “It means a lot because it means my hard work paid off. The coaches, I give them big thanks because they put me in positions to make the plays to get 1,000 yards. I give thanks to my offensive line for giving my quarterback Patrick Brown time to get me the ball, and to Patrick for getting me the ball,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little kid to go play college football and now it’s happening. It’s a dream come true.” It wasn’t always that easy, though, as all three explained. The Raiders went 1-9 in 2013, as both Drummond and Marcum said they simply wanted to give up football at that time. Both said they were frustrated by a lack of playing time, not to mention the lack of team success that year. However, they stuck with it — and in the end — their hard work paid dividends as seniors. “I wanted to quit football, but my mom has this rule where I am not allowed to quit anything. I’m happy that she has that rule. Because if not, I would not be where I am at. As a freshman, I was young and not very good. It was really bad. The only reason I was there was because my friends were playing. But things got better, I worked really hard my next two years, and finally got to start my senior year,” said Marcum. “My senior year, it just seemed like everything came together and worked out the way it should and how I wanted it. Everything I wanted came together and happened,” said Drummond. Drummond added that taking up the sport of wrestling his junior year especially aided in his football development. He plans to major in psychology, while Marcum will major in nursing. Craycraft, conversely, said he intends to study either Engineering or Land Management. Already, they are looking forward to that MariettaMuskingum matchup, which is set for Saturday, Sept. 23 at Don Drumm Stadium in Marietta. “Playing together, I’m going to treat it like a regular football game. But at the end of it, no matter what happens, I’m still going to give them both a big hug,” said Marcum. “I think all three of these kids made the right choice, and their futures are in front of them,” said Sparling. “That’s something we’re really proud of.” ahawley@civitasmedia.com MINFORD, Ohio — The one-inning rampage was just too much to over come. The sixth-seeded Southern softball team had its lead and postseason hopes disappear, as secondseeded Leesburg Fairfield scored nine times in the third inning, en route to a 12-8 victory on Thursday evening in the Division IV district semifinal at Minford High School. Southern (11-12) started things on the right foot, scoring three runs in the top of the opening inning. First, Sydney Cleland drove in Jaiden Roberts, who tripled to start the game. Next, Paige VanMeter doubled home Josie Cundiff and Ciera Whitesell. The Lady Lions — competing in their 16th straight district tournament — got two runs back in with two outs in the bottom of the first, scoring on a wild pitch and a single. The Purple and Gold left a runner on base in both the second and third innings, with FHS being retired in order in the bottom of the second. With no outs in the home half of the third, Kaitlin White singled home Carli Reiber to tie the game at three. After a sac-bunt for the first out of the frame, the onslaught began. Eight consecutive batters reached base safely, leading to eight runs and an eight-run, 11-3 FHS lead. The Lady Tornadoes were retired in order in the top of the fourth, but returned the favor to Fairfield in the bottom of the frame. With two outs in the top of the fifth, Southern broke its cold spell as Cundiff scored on an error. However, Megan Gragg scored on an error in the See FAIRFIELD | 3B Peck Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Southern senior Sierra Cleland (23) catches a ball at first base, during the Lady Tornadoes’ 12-8 loss in the district semifinal, on Thursday in Minford. The timing, however, isn’t ideal for South Gallia. But Peck maintains he has helped prospective players keep up their offseason activities, which Attar explained as well. “The weight program is still going, the kids are still motivated and I’m still working with them. I think everyone understands this is an opportunity that I had to go ahead and jump on when I could,” said Peck. “South Gallia is going to be fine with the administration and leadership that they have and the kids they have.” “He (Peck) is an excellent role model who works so well with kids, both on the field and off the field behind the scenes,” said Attar. “He is still going to be involved in the program until the new head coach is hired. He has been involved here at South Gallia for all but three years of the school’s existence. That’s a long time. Going to be big shoes to fill.” Naturally, over the course of 17 years, there were plenty of memorable moments for Peck. However, he said none was more memorable than any other. “Every moment and every team at South Gallia was special,” said Peck. “We made the playoffs four times in 11 years, we had some teams go 7-3 with a hectic schedule. We’ve played regional champions, we’ve played state champions, we’ve played state runnersup. It’s pretty phenomenal the teams we’ve played and how we competed with some of those teams. Our kids just bought into everything we’ve always tried to do and went and battled every week. No matter if we had nine freshmen or nine seniors on the field. No team was more special than the others. Some might accomplish more in terms of wins or losses, but work ethic and character, I can’t pick one over the other.” Next season’s squad returns all but seven seniors, and comes off a 3-7 campaign — in which the Rebels fell to five teams that were ranked ninth or higher in Region 27. “These kids are so much stronger, so much faster, so much bigger, so much more earning Honorable Mention all-district last year (in 2015).

It’s been an amazThis past season, Lester scored easily a team-high 34 ing ride.” Simmons, who coached goals, and made first-team all-Southeast District — after Lester for four seasons, said his individual success can be directly related to being a better teammate. “Isaiah has shown a great deal of improvement over four years. What I really liked seeing how he blossomed was his teamwork. He learned to play as a team member his junior and senior year. That actually rewarded him in being able to score more goals and get more assists,” said Simmons. “I hope he continues to use his teammates like that at the next level. I’m really proud of him and the maturity he has demonstrated over the past couple of years.” Lester also utilized his speed to amass many of those goals. “He definitely uses his speed. It was very common for the other team to double-team or put their fastest player on him,” said Simmons. “We were able to figure out how to still use his speed to our advantage.” Of course, that speed carries over into track, of which Lester excels individually in the 800m run—and a quarter of the 4x800m and 4x400m relay teams. Lester, as a freshman, qualified for the state track and field meet — as part of the Blue Devils’ 4x800m group. The past two years, he has reached the Division II state meet in the boys 800m run —placing 15th as a sophomore in two minutes and two seconds and 13th as a junior From page 1B friend and am thankful for the opportunity to have been able to work with him.” Attar is completing his second year as athletic director —and his fourth as assistant principal. Hocking College is a Junior College program, and a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association. The upcoming campaign will be the Hawks’ third. Peck’s new boss will be Adolphus Matthews, as Hocking College is located near Nelsonville. “I met the head football coach and athletic director Coach Matthews up there. I’ve always had a goal of trying to move up to the next level (of coaching). Hocking College is really doing big things right now and I want to be a part of what Coach Matthews has going on,” said Peck. “So I think the time was right and it was just an opportunity I couldn’t pass up right now.” Lester skilled, and they definitely have the ability to shake up the league (Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division),” said Peck. “I’m very proud of the way they worked this offseason and I wish them the best of luck.” As for the Rebels’ next head coach, some interviews were scheduled for Friday (May 19), as Attar intends to have a head coach chosen by Memorial Day. Attar also said a farewell event for Peck will be scheduled. In offering numerous and countless thank-yous, Peck was most grateful for the support he has received. “The culture at South Gallia has been very fun to be a part of and help build,” he said. “They’ll keep it going. I’m sure they will. Whomever they hire as the next head coach has a special community that will back him and all kinds of support. It’s a great place to be.” Although, indeed, the Rebel sidelines will have a different feel for this fall. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2106 in 1:58. His personal best in the two-lap race is a minute and 57 seconds, which he ran as a sophomore. Lester said he expects to continue the 800 at Rio Grande, while also possibly being part of the 4x800 RedStorm relay. This year’s Blue Devil 4x800 has already qualified for next week’s regional —as he was competing in the 800m and the 4x400m at the district meet on Saturday. Lester said he doesn’t anticipate any conflicts or overlapping of the two sports in college, but said “I do know the coaches will work out the practices in case I need to switch between.” Rather, the two sports intertwine with one another. “It’s always good to do more than one sport, because it’s working out different parts of your body and it keeps you ready to go for all of them. Track helps soccer just as much as soccer helps track. Both take a lot of endurance, speed and conditioning,” said Lester. It’s just that Lester “loves” soccer, while he simply “likes” track. He said he plans to major in Business. “It’s definitely exciting. I’m looking forward to it,” he said.

She takes instruction and she is always aiming to improve, even with what she has already accomplished. She’s a really good kid and an excellent student too. We’re proud of her here at Point Pleasant … and Marshall is getting someone they’ll be proud to have.” Those were the sentiments from throwing coach Dave Darst in reflecting on the latest Point Pleasant athlete to join the Thundering Herd as senior Aislyn Hayman signed a letter of intent with the MU track and field program in late April. Hayman — a fourtime all-state performer between the shot put and discus events in her career — had an official signing gathering on Monday, May 8, at the PPJSHS Commons Area in which coaches, family and friends could all celebrate in her latest achievement. Hayman owns the school records in both the shot put (42-1) and discus (148-8) events and has qualified for Courtesy photo Point Pleasant senior Aislyn Hayman, seated second from left, signed a letter of intent with the Marshall University track and field program in late April and had her accomplishment recognized during a signing party on Monday, May 8, at the PPJSHS Commons Area.

Standing in back, from left, are PPHS track coaches Matt Cottrill and Dave Darst. state four separate times in each competition — with six of those coming at the Class AAA level before this current spring. In four of those previous six state appearances, Hayman has placed in the top-six of those two events — including three straight postseasons of being an all-state competitor in the discus. Hayman is also a three-time Region 4 champion in the discus and just picked up the first Region 4 title of her career in the shot put last week at Winfield. Throw in that she is a four-year letterwinner in girls basketball and a four-year drummer in the Black Knight Marching Band, all while carrying an unweighted 3.8 gradepoint average, and you begin to understand that there aren’t many challenges that she is afraid to face. For example, current West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin gave a nomination on behalf of Hayman to be part of the Class of 2021 at the United States Naval Academy. That application was ultimately turned down, but that didn’t stop Hayman from proceeding forward. As things eventually turned out, Hayman ended up fulfilling another lifelong goal — and it just happens to be a heck of a lot closer to home. “I’m very excited to be heading to Marshall. When I didn’t get accepted to the Naval Academy, I was left searching my options and Marshall was always my first choice from there,” Hayman said. “I like that it’s far enough away that I can live on campus and still be able to get home to do laundry and visit with the family. Marshall has a solid field of study in my major and it’s Division I competition, so it was everything that I wanted in a school.” Hayman has respectively finished third, fourth and second in the state discus finals since her freshman season and also had efforts of ninth, seventh and third in the shot put finals over that same span — all at the Class AAA level. Headed into her final PPHS performances this weekend, Hayman is the Class AA favorite in both the shot put and the discus finals — at least on paper. Winning that elusive first state championship is the main goal in both Friday finals, mainly because it’s the one thing she has yet to accomplish. But, as important as that task is to her, Hayman wants to win as a way of rewarding those who have helped her in getting to this point. “I’ve been fortunate to have a good coach all the way through like Coach Darst. Some schools don’t have a throwing coach, so I am very lucky to have had that all throughout my career,” Hayman said. “He’s really worked with me to make me better every step along the way and he’s been a huge help in my success. “I also have to thank my parents and my teammates over the years for their support because they’ve made a real difference in things as well. I have a lot of people to thank, so going out a champion would be a great way to start.” Though focused on her final prep trip to Laidley Field, Hayman is enthused about the new challenges that await her in Huntington. She’s also seen former Point Pleasant stars such as Derek Mitchell, Andrea Porter and Cody Mitchell have success in their respective sports at MU over the last decade, so she is aware of how well-prepared she is for the next handful of competitive seasons at the Division I level. Now all that’s left is to close the book on her high school career so that the collegiate sequel can begin … and it does come with a twist. “I’m really excited to see what Marshall can get out of me over the next four or five years,” Hayman said. “I’m ready to get into the program and see how much stronger I can get and how much more distance they can add to my throws. I’m also excited to get learn how to throw the hammer because it’s new to me and they only throw it at the collegiate level.” Hayman plans to major in Exercise Science and is the daughter of Tate and Damia Hayman of Point Pleasant.

We used people experienced in response. Our evaluators came from Gallia and Jackson County EMA, Jackson MRC, Jackson PH and Southeast Ohio Regional Public Health. All evaluators had many years of experience in planning and evaluation and they followed the OEMA evaluation process. We had a lot of hoops to hula but we did and we were able to secure our future hazards planning and performance efforts from the successful exercise (push-ups would have been easier). Now before I end this article, I want to thank two groups who made this exercise special: Eastern and Meigs High School students. We had about 20 students who volunteered (or were forced to volunteer by their principle) to play as participants and victims in the drill. They got to see first-hand how emergency response should be carried out (and 3 of them were “carried” out as victims). Our thanks to them and their schools for their participation! Now, what’s on tap for next year? Stay tuned! Frank Gorscak, MCHD ERC, PIO, works for the Meigs County Health Department.
