Poinsettias ready for the holidays By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com MASON — The flower of the holiday season has made its return to the tricounty area. Poinsettias are utilized during Christmas time because of their natural red and green color combination. Bob’s Market and Greenhouse has 60,000 poinsettias of different varieties for this season ready for customers. “The most popular is the traditional red,” shared Bob’s Market coowner Scott Barnitz. He added that 75 percent of the sale are of the red variety. “We get very pos- itive feedback about the quality of our plants.” Barnitz said they increased production of the poinsettia by 10 percent this year because of the revenue generated last season. The staff at Bob’s begins working on the flower in July and the poinsettia has one of the largest crop times among flowers. Bob’s Market receives a two inch cutting of the flower from their offshore facility by the first week of July, which then goes into a tray to go inside the greenhouse. After about a week, the plants move to their own pots.

MEIGS COUNTY — On Dec. 4, the Grange (formally known as the Patrons of Husbandry) will celebrate its 150th year of existence. Oli- ver Hudson Kelley was assigned the job in 1867 to survey the South after its destruction from the Civil War. The President wanted to know how to restore farmers to production. Kelley’s answer was simple: The govern- ment can do nothing; the farmers must do it for themselves. He was so convinced of this that he quit his government job and along with six others founded the Grange. The word “grange” was chosen for its chapters as this is the old English word for “farm.” The Grange’s first goal upon formation was to stop the unfair prices railroads were charging farmers to haul crops.

The club plans to give the stockings away along with gifts purchased by local students in the schools, an annual program involved numerous organizations and civic groups in Gallia County. The Gallipolis Lion’s Club (parent group to the Leos) funds the operation, while the Leos purchase the gifts, wrap them, and deliver them to other families in the community. In years past, the schools supply a list of names according to certain criteria. Leos will pack for stuffed stockings for 100 kids. “The Leo club got involved because there is a lot of us, and they’re really willing to show up and put forth the effort,” said Leo Advisor Sandra Mayes. They met at the Colony Club in Gallipolis to stuff stockings after school so as not to get in the way of academics, according to Mayes. “We’re stuffing stockings for those who are less fortunate,” said Leo Elizabeth Hoover. “Not everyone is as fortunate as I have been and (community service) is a great thing to do.” The stockings will be stuffed with small gifts and candy, and delivered several days before Christmas along with the gifts purchased. “It matters to me Morgan McKinniss|OVP Gallia Academy Leo Club met Friday evening to stuff stockings to be given away this Christmas to other students as community service. because it makes so many people happy,” said Julianna Yates, Leo member and senior at GAHS.

New grazing concept to benefit birds and herds POMEROY — If you think livestock and quail don’t mix, a new concept in managed grazing may just change your mind. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is now accepting applications for a unique program that focuses on establishing productive warm-season forages to improve livestock production and provide large areas of prime habitat for ground nesting birds and other wildlife. Ohio’s Northern Bobwhite in Grasslands project is part of a national Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) partnership, a collaborative approach to conserving habitat for declining species on farms and working forests. NRCS works with partners and private landowners to focus voluntary conservation efforts on working landscapes. The Northern Bobwhite in Grasslands project is designed to help bring back the quail that were once an integral part of Ohio’s farming way of life. Leading researchers have documented the wildlife benefits of managed grazing on native summer forages, concluding that this approach enhances the habitat for the ground nesting birds while improving livestock weight gains. In Ohio, the Bobwhite Quail is currently a species of concern, meaning that it appears to be in decline or in need of conservation. Bobwhites were plentiful in southern Ohio prior to the extreme winters of 1977-78 which, coupled with habitat changes due to reforestation and more intensive agriculture, have taken a toll on their populations. “Ohio’s new project is a ‘win-win’ for producers by enabling them to continue grazing on land with installed conservation measures,” said Terry Cosby, NRCS State Conservationist in Ohio. “By replacing fescue with native grasses, participants can improve or maintain average daily weight gains, enhance soil health, and hedge against summer drought with fewer inputs.” NRCS utilizes the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to offer technical and financial assistance to eligible livestock producers to implement conservation practices to address habitat loss without taking their land out of production. NRCS will conduct targeted restoration activities with a focus on 30 southern and southwestern Ohio counties including Meigs and Gallia counties and all neighboring counties including Athens, Vinton, Jackson and Lawrence. All NRCS financial assistance programs are offered in a continuous sign-up; however, to be considered for Northern Bobwhite in Grasslands funding, applications must be received by Jan. 19, 2018. To learn more about technical and financial assistance available through NRCS conservation programs, visit your local USDA Service Center.

Ashleys celebrate 40th anniversary Keith and Emma Ashley of Rocksprings recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a delayed trip to Gettysburg. They were married on Sept. 3, 1977, at Racine Baptist Church by the late Rev. Freeland Norris. Due to other commitments, the couple delayed their celebration by attending the annual Remembrance Day celebration on the third Saturday of November at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This celebration is held to commemorate the anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. It is the largest Civil War parade in the United States. The weekend featured hundreds of Civil War reenactors, both men and women, in period dress. The parade included Civil War military bands and fife and drum corps, along with the soldiers. This year’s celebration was marred by a fanatic, who sent a letter to the local newspaper claiming he would bomb the parade if Confederate flags were flown. The FBI, along with state and local police were present on foot, on horseback, and in plain clothes. Dump trucks and other cement blocks were used to barricade the parade route to prevent a terrorist in a vehicle driving into the parade. Accompanying the Ashleys on the trip were their daughter and son-in-law, Brent and Rachel Dennis , along with the Dennis’ four children, Bryce, Crockett, Gavin and Valerie. After the parade, the family toured the battlefield making a stop at the monument to the 75th Ohio Volunteer Infantry — the only military group including Meigs County soldiers in the battle. The Ashleys have two other daughters, Whitney Ditty and Emily (Mrs. Matt) Deckard, along with five other grandchildren. Information submitted by Keith Ashley.

THEIR VIEW Type your way, I’ll type mine In the course of my working life in which a keyboard is a vital tool, many people have remarked, either with amazement or disdain, at the fact that I am a two-finger typist. That’s right — both my right and left index digits ply the keys to create words, transcribe documents and old articles, or just jabber with friends on Facebook. While the touch type system, in which several fingers are employed, is the norm for business purposes and everyday tasks, folks who observed me at work were astonished at how fast I had become with the old hunt-and-peck style utilized by people who don’t normally type. Except by then it was no longer a case of slowly locating the correct key and then striking it — it was like I had mentally absorbed where the desired keys were on the board and just continued, correcting my typos as I went along before giving the docu- Now don’t get ment on which me wrong.

But, shopping for toys doesn’t have to be. In fact, the good news is that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported a decline in toy recalls in the past few years and consumers can shop with confidence. In fiscal year 2015, CPSC issued 25 toy recalls, way down from 172 in 2008. Even with the decline in recalls, CPSC continues to detect and detain too many violative toys at U.S. ports. These dangerous imports have excessive lead and phthalates, as well as small parts. Thankfully, these toys never reached the hands of kids. CPSC also receives reports of kids who have suffered toy-related injuries and even deaths.

In the first half century of the Grange, it was completely a “farmer’s only” organization. The 20th century brought technology to the farm causing a drastic drop in the number of farmers. The Grange adapted by ending its membership requirement to be a farmer and opened up to all reputable people age 14 or older. Although the Grange is no longer a purely agricultural organization, it still has agricultural issues as an important part of its work since protecting our food source is important to this nation. The Grange boasts that it is the oldest family fraternity in the U.S. Children have always been allowed to attend meetings with their parents until age 14 when they would then have to join. It allowed women full membership from its beginning unlike nearly all other fraternal organizations. Unlike most other fraternal orders, a Grange member may obtain all seven degrees of the order. The Grange has the oldest provable ritual of any organization in the world with the incorporation of ritual from ancient Greece, which was Christianized. It is also the oldest agricultural organization in the U.S. Rural free delivery of U.S. mail was obtained due to Grange efforts. Grange was responsible for the founding of 4-H through the Grange’s four-leaf clover clubs (although the 4-H disputes this) and Future Farmers of America. While several insurance companies have been formed by the Grange, the Ohio State Grange allowed the Grange Mutual Casualty Company to become independent in the 1960’s and is no longer connected. Today, the Grange has a wide variety of programs. Each meeting has an educational program. Each grange has a legislative agent to report on legislative issues; however, the Grange is totally non-partisan. Community service is an important activity. It has a deaf education program. It has contests for talent, crafts, needlework, sewing, creative writing, woodworking, photography, art, etc. Courtesy photo The Racine Grange float in the Fourth of July Parade was crafted to celebrate 150 years of the Grange. As a fraternal order, it has formal membership induction ceremonies where hazing is forbidden. It has four degrees portraying the lessons of faith, hope, charity, and fidelity, as well as the four seasons of the year and four stages of life (infancy, youth, adulthood, and old age.) It is totally Christian based although some outside the organization have incorrectly tried to say that it involved worship of false gods due to the use of the three women’s offices named for the goddesses Ceres, Pomona, and Flora. The ritual clearly states that they are there only to represent womanhood — not godhood — and the crops of grain, fruit, and flowers. There is no worship of any false gods. The Grange is involved in Voluntary Optometric Service to Humanity with the collection of eye glasses for recycling. It also is involved with recycling of prescription medicine bottles. The Grange is a totally grassroots organization. Positions on legislative and organizational operations begin in the local granges and then go to state granges. If the issues are of national importance, these continue on to National Grange for action. The Grange has four levels. Local granges are called subordinate granges (which have four ceremonies to induct members); county granges, which are called Pomona granges. Then there are state granges and lastly the National Grange, which is the highest level. Each level has a ceremony to obtain membership. Unlike many fraternal orders, every member may obtain all seven ceremonies called “degrees.” The Grange also has a youth organization called the Junior Grange. This is for children ages 5 through 14. It teaches leadership, service, and development of individual talents of the children. Currently, Star Junior Grange at Salem Center is active in Meigs County. The National Grange owns an 11-story building only a block from the White House in Washington, D.C. It is the only privately owned property within that close proximity. Its national legislative people lobby Congress from there. The Grange’s positions are important to Congressmen since the Grange is non-partisan and provides a good look at what the general national population feels about legislative issues. The first grange in Meigs County was Bedford Grange No. 268 formed in 1873. A county-level grange called a Pomona Grange was formed on August 20, 1877, as the Meigs County Pomona Grange No. 46., which is still active Although, it was originally thought to have one grange for every township, often more than one was formed in the early history. There was even a grange in the 1950’s in the village of Pomeroy known as the Pomeroy Bend Grange. There have been more local chapters formed for the Grange in Meigs County than any other fraternal organization past or present. In the early 1900’s, the Grange had a Meigs County Grange fair, which was very successful. It was so successful that it nearly killed the current Meigs County Fair. Not wishing to cause the end of that fair, the Grange amalgamated its fair into the Meigs County Fair. Today, three granges operate in Meigs County. Star Grange No. 778 is located at Salem Center; Hemlock Grange No. 2049 is located at Hemlock Grove; and Racine Grange No. 2606 is located near Racine at Oak Grove. All of these own their own building headquarters. This year, Racine Grange had a float in the Racine 4th of July parade to celebrate the Grange’s birthday. Currently, Sarah Caldwell and Sarah Cullums of Hemlock Grange are the ones with the longest membership, which is over 80 years each. Meigs County has had three Ohio State Grange officers in its history. H. Earl Starkey of Carpenter holds the record of the longest-serving state officer in Ohio with 38 years as state gatekeeper. Freda Kennedy was Pomona. Milton Rufus Meritt was overseer (i.e. vice president). Patty and Opal Dyer of Star Grange have served more than two decades at the Ohio State Junior Grange directors. Patty Dyer is currently the sound director for the ritual of the National Grange. The Grange has a male youth ambassador and female youth’ ambassador (formerly called the prince and princess) eontest, Racine Grange has the distinction of having the most winners in the Ohio State Grange contest since its inception over 60 years ago. They are Carson Yost, Hannah Yost, Olivia Yost, Rachel Ashley, Whitney Ashley, and Emily Ashley. Keith Ashley of Rocksprings has the distinction of being the only Meigs County Granger to have won National Grange contests. He once won a national banner contest. Later, he won the National Grange talent competition twice — last year being the most recent. Olivia Yost was recently chosen as 2017 youth chaplain of the National Grange youth team. The National Grange honored one Meigs County Grange family this year at Spokane, Washington. Any family with five generations to have belonged were honored. Clifford and Lena Holter, parents of June Ashley of Racine, were members of Racine Grange followed by June and her husband, Robert; her children, Clifford, Keith (with wife Emma), and Heidi; as well as Keith and Emma’s children, Rachel, Whitney, and Emily, and their grandchildren, Bryce, Crockett, and Gavin Dennis, and Ella and Joseph Ditty. Annually, the Meigs County Pomona Grange has a banquet at the end of April. The local granges visit one another each year. For decades, the granges have designed display booths at the Meigs County Fair. There was once a Grange co-op store in Middleport. For more information on the Grange or on membership, contact Opal Dyer of Star Grange at 742-2805; Kim Romine of Hemlock Grange at 992-7079, and Keith Ashley of Racine Grange at 992-7874.

Soon, though, Rax was no more and after a period of vacancy, the building later housed East of Chicago Pizza and China One. The property will probably be used for another purpose, but seeing it now and further up the road an empty Kmart, both once vibrant businesses especially at this time of the year, tugs at my memory and sense of nostalgia for what once was.

Ironmen rally past Meigs, 62-56 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com JACKSON, Ohio — You have to finish what you started. The Meigs boys basketball team led at the end of each of the first three periods on Friday night in the Apple City, but the Marauders weren’t ahead when it mattered most, as Jackson came back to take a 62-56 non-conference victory in the season opener for both teams. Meigs (0-1) certainly got off on the right foot, hitting a pair of three-pointers, a trio of twopointers and 6-of-6 free throws in the first quarter, en route to an 18-12 lead. The Ironmen (1-0) outscored their guests by a 17-13 clip in the second quarter, however, cutting the MHS lead to 31-29 at the break. Jackson trimmed one more off of its deficit in the third quarter, outscoring the Marauders by a 17-16 clip to make the MHS advantage 47-46 with eight minutes to play. In the fourth quarter, Meigs was held without a three-pointer for the first time in the game and scored just nine points. JHS tallied 16 points over the final eight minutes to seal the 62-56 triumph. For the game, Meigs made 9-of-10 (90 percent) free throws, while Jackson was 15-of-23 (65.2 percent) from the stripe. Both teams made five trifectas, with the Ironmen sinking 21 total field goals, one more than the Marauders. MHS senior Christian Mattox led the way for the Maroon and Gold, scoring 23 points, including nine from long range. Zach Bartrum and Weston Baer each totalled 11 points, Cooper Darst chipped in with nine, while Bobby Musser rounded out the Marauder total with two points. The Red and White were led by Cooper Donaldson with 18 points, followed by Caleb Wallis and Carson Spohn with 12 each. Payton Speakman scored nine points for the victors, Traylon Davis chipped in with seven, while Caden Donaldson and T.J. Burd added two each. After hosting Southern on Saturday, Meigs — which won’t have a chance to avenge this setback in the regular season — will visit Gallia Academy on Tuesday.

Gallia Academy combine to outscore Point Pleasant by a 40-5 margin in the first and third quarters en route to a 66-34 victory on Thursday night in a non-conference girls basketball contest in Gallia County. The Blue Angels (2-0) made their first three shot attempts while taking an 8-0 advantage a little over two minutes into regulation … and the hosts ultimately never looked back. The visiting Lady Knights (0-2) followed with consecutive baskets by Peyton Campbell to trim the deficit in half with 4:54 left, but the Blue and White answered with a 7-0 run to secure a 15-4 edge after eight minutes of play. The Red and Black countered with a 6-3 run to close to within 18-10 with 4:42 left in the half, but the hosts responded with a 13-6 surge to take a comfortable 31-16 cushion into the intermission. Gallia Academy upped its lead to 33-16 less than a minute into the third quarter, but a pair of turnovers led to a timeout and a spirited pep talk by Joe Justice at the 6:37 mark. From there, the Blue Angels scored the next 14 points over a 3:13 span — allowing the hosts to secure a sizable 47-16 lead with under four minutes left in the third canto. Point Pleasant — which committed a dozen turnovers while being outscored 25-1 in the “Once we decided that we wanted to play, we were able to make a run and really put things out of reach.” — Joe Justice, Gallia Academy coach third stanza — came away with its only point at the 2:54 mark following a Campbell free throw, but the hosts answered with nine straight points to close out the period for a 56-17 advantage headed into the finale. Hunter Copley gave GAHS its largest lead of the night at 58-17 following a basket with 7:35 remaining, at which time the Blue Angels started pulling their starters in favor of getting some experience for their reserves. The Lady Knights closed the final 7:18 of regulation with a 17-8 run to wrap up the 32-point outcome. Following the game, Justice was pleased — for the most part — with his squad’s overall performance, though he did feel his girls were a little too relaxed coming out of the halftime break. However, after that early third quarter timeout, the fifth-year frontman was much happier with the effort and intensity. “We weren’t getting the 50-50 balls there early on, so I called a timeout to get on them a little bit to get them motivated,” Justice said. “Once we decided that we wanted to play, we were able to make a run and really put things out of reach. “We just need to stay focused on playing our style and doing the things that we want to do instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing. We still have a long way to go because we have a young group, but we are getting better each and every day.” Conversely, PPHS coach John Fields didn’t have his full roster available on Thursday night — which did cause the Lady Knights problems over the course of the game. Then again, as he noted, his young troops never really managed to help their own cause — particularly over the full 32 minutes of play. “We were missing one of our guards, so we had to extend our rotation in ways that we don’t normally do and put players in positions they don’t normally play,” Fields said. “We struggled offensively, had too many turnovers and just lacked some hustle when we needed to have it. “It’s a young group and we’ll go back to the drawing board, starting with our game at Athens on Saturday. The girls never gave up, which was a plus, but we need to find that consistent effort for four quarters.” The Blue Angels outrebounded the guests by a 35-26 overall margin, including a 19-6 edge on the offensive glass. The hosts also committed 14turnovers, exactly half of the 28 miscues made by PPHS.

The Wahama girls basketball team forced 28 turnovers and held visiting Buffalo to just 26 percent from the field Friday night en route to a 64-40 victory in a non-conference contest at Gary Clark Court in Mason County. The Lady Falcons (1-0) were quite impressive in their season opener as the hosts shot 39 percent through three quarters of play and had seven different players reach the scoring column in the 24-point triumph. The Lady Bison (0-2) jumped out to an early 6-2 advantage, but the Red and White answered with a 15-5 surge over the final 6:21 of the opening frame while establishing a 17-11 edge through eight minutes of play. After both teams went scoreless through the first four minutes of the second canto, Emily Reilly netted a basket with 3:58 left in the first half while trimming the deficit down to 17-13. The guests, however, were never closer the rest of the way. The Lady Falcons reeled off the next 10 points to secure their largest lead of the first half at 27-13 with 43 seconds remaining, but Buffalo was able to add a basket right before the halftime buzzer sounded for a 12-point contest at the break. The hosts hit 7-of-14 field goals in the third stanza and made a 10-2 charge over the opening five minutes of the sec- — John Arnott, Wahama coach markers apiece.

Middleport OH 45760 740-691-5136 CINCINNATI (AP) — Vontaze Burfict refused to shake the Steelers’ hands at midfield last October, and added to the insult by kicking one of them during the first quarter. Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell tweeted after Pittsburgh’s 29-14 win that the Bengals linebacker ought to be kicked out of the NFL. There’s no holding back in this rivalry. The AFC North rivals get a chance to add a few more flourishes — for better or worse — to a nasty series that has played out not only on the field, but in social media exchanges and end zone celebrations as well. The Steelers (9-2) and the Bengals (5-6) don’t like each other, and they don’t hide it. It’s on Twitter. It’s on the field. It’ll be back at Paul Brown Stadium — the scene of the rivalry’s most memorable moment — on Monday night in the game the Bengals need to win to have a chance of salvaging their season. “It’s all about the story lines,” Bengals safety George Iloka said. “Will we play well in primetime? Will we get the game that we need? How many games have we lost to them in a row? I know the story lines.” So do the Steelers, who are off to their best start since 2004. They’ve won five straight against Cincinnati and eight of nine in the series, a span that includes the Bengals’ playoff meltdown at Paul Brown Stadium during the 2015 season. That’s the one in which Burfict hit Antonio Brown in the head in the closing seconds, moving the Steelers in range for the winning field goal. They’ve been going at it ever since, even when they’re far away from each other playing other teams. In November, Bengals receiver A.J. Green was ejected in Jacksonville for grabbing cornerback Jalen Ramsey around the neck, tackling him and Rebels — and were also 2-of-6 at the charity stripe for 33 percent. Gothard paced SVHS with a game-high 18 points, followed by Carpenter with 11 points and Hunter Adams with nine markers. Jack Leith was next with six points, while Justin White, Austin Mannon and Nick Klaibee From page 7B with three points, while Jaxxon Mabe and Austin Day completed the scoring with two points apiece. The Vikings netted 23 total field goals — which included seven trifectas punching him. The Steelers’ reaction? In their next game against Indianapolis, Bell and receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster celebrated a touchdown by re-enacting the GreenRamsey confrontation . “I thought it was funny, so we wanted to make it a celebration,” Bell said this week. “We weren’t trying to downplay them or make A.J. Green feel a certain way. We just thought that situation was funny how it turned out and ran with it.” They weren’t laughing in Cincinnati, where several story lines will play out Monday night. Prime-timers The Steelers love the night-time stage . They’ve won 10 straight primetime games, including three already this season against the Lions (Sunday night), the Titans (Thursday night) and the Packers (last Sunday night). Following their game in Cincinnati, they host the Ravens on Sunday night. each contributed three points. Alec Carpenter completed the winning tally with two markers. The Rebels return to action Friday when they travel to Racine for their Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division opener against Southern.
