During a scheduled break Friday morning, her colleagues turned the spotlight on Wise one more time. Though not quite the fanfare of a live TV broadcast, the cozy gathering did involve snacks and cake — more than enough for the highly accomplished 26-year-old. “This is actually my ﬁrst public event since being home,” joked Wise. “It’s nice to just relax and have cake again.” See MISS | 3A Milling through the market By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Tuba and euphonium players of all ages are invited the ﬁrst Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre Summer Tuba Time on July 3.

It identiﬁes areas of health concern and where the public’s needs are best met. Surveys were taken last year at the fair and health department workers started collecting data from individuals. That data has been taken and analyzed to prioritize what the public believes to most problematic in the area and is just a piece of the overall assessment process. Ideally, the Gallia County Health Department would like to have its accreditation in early 2018. “Hopefully, we’ll identify other needs and continue to (have the assessments) help drive the ship to where we focus our energies and efforts,” Conkle said.

There are 202 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 12, 1776, Virginia’s colonial legislature adopted a Declaration of Rights. On this date: In 1920, the Republican national convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Warren G. Harding for president on the tenth ballot; Calvin Coolidge was nominated for vice president. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge was nominated for a term of ofﬁce in his own right at the Republican national convention in Cleveland. (Coolidge had become president in 1923 upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding.) In 1939, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was dedicated in Cooperstown, New York. In 1942, Anne Frank, a German-born Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, received a diary for her 13th birthday, less than a month before she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis. In 1956, the Flag of the United States Army was ofﬁcially adopted under an executive order signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1963, civil rights leader Medgar Evers, 37, was shot and killed outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi. (In 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was convicted of murdering Evers and sentenced to life in prison; he died in 2001.) In 1965, the British government announced that The Beatles would each be made an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace later in the year. In 1967, the Supreme Court, in Loving v. Virginia, struck down state laws prohibiting interracial marriages. In 1975, an Indian court found Prime Minister Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral corruption and barred her from holding ofﬁce for six years; Gandhi rejected calls for her to resign. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan, during a visit to the divided German city of Berlin, publicly challenged Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” In 1991, Russians went to the polls to elect Boris N. Yeltsin president of their republic. In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were slashed to death outside her Los Angeles home. (O.J. Simpson was later acquitted of the killings in a criminal trial, but was eventually held liable in a civil action.) Boeing’s new 777 jetliner went on its ﬁrst test ﬂight. Ten years ago: Al-Qaida in Iraq named a successor to slain leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (AH’-boo MOO’-sahb ahl-zahr-KOW’-ee), Abu Ayyub al-Masri (ah-BOO’ eye-YOOB’ ahl MAH’sree), who was killed in a U.S.-Iraqi air strike in April 2010. FBI statistics showed violent crime across the U.S. had surged in 2005 by the largest margin in 15 years. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (RAWTH’-lihsbur-gur) broke his jaw and nose in a motorcycle crash. Composer Gyorgy Ligeti died in Vienna, Austria, at age 83. Five years ago: The Dallas Mavericks won their ﬁrst NBA title by winning Game 6 of the ﬁnals against the Miami Heat, 105-95. “The Book of Mormon” took home nine Tony Awards, including the prize for best musical; “War Horse” won ﬁve Tonys, including the best play award. One year ago: Joyce Mitchell, a worker at the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, was arrested on charges of helping two convicted killers escape; Mitchell later pleaded guilty to promoting prison contraband and was sentenced to 2-1/3 to seven years in prison. Monica Lewis, 93, an actress, singer and voice of the Chiquita Banana cartoon character, died in Woodland Hills, California. Actor-comedian Rick Ducommun, 62, died in Vancouver, British Columbia.

THEIR VIEW Billionaire Koch fed up with politics as usual By Julie Bykowicz Associated Press WASHINGTON — Billionaire Charles Koch, one of America’s most inﬂuential conservative donors, said he is fed up with the vitriol of the presidential race and will air national TV ads that call on citizens to work together to ﬁx a “rigged” economy that leaves behind the poor. Koch, in a telephone interview with The Associated Press, described Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton as part of personality politics at its worst. He said that’s why neither he nor the political and policy groups he controls are playing much of a role in the presidential election. Instead, in an unusual strategy, the ads will be paid for by his private company, Koch Industries. “Both the primaries and the general (elec- tion) seems it’s more, ‘You’re the enemy, you’re evil, or you’re stupid,’ or whatever ad hominem attacks on each other,” Koch said, “rather than trying to ﬁnd common ground so different opposing views can learn from each other and we can ﬁnd better solutions.” Democrats, who have spent years vilifying Charles and David Koch, are unlikely to see them as uniﬁers. The brothers steer hundreds of millions of dollars — their own money and from like-minded donors whose identities are largely kept private — into electoral politics and mostly Republican efforts at all levels of government. While the Kochs have supported most of the previous GOP presidential nominees, they have a far less favorable view of Trump. A billionaire himself, Trump wrote on Twitter last year that most of his GOP rivals were “puppets” of the Kochs. The bad blood reﬂects the tensions between Trump and some of the Republicans’ biggest donors, which could hurt his fundraising efforts. Still, Charles Koch said his policy team plans to meet with Trump’s policy team, at the request of the Trump campaign. He added he’d be happy to arrange the same sort of chat with Clinton’s camp. Koch said he’d “love to get them on board” with any of his political ideas, the same feeling he has about Trump. With a campaign they’re calling “End the Divide,” the Kochs are taking a page from the playbook of other Republican leaders eager to talk about something other than their party’s ﬂamethrowing nominee. They’re plowing ahead with recommendations from a study the Republican Party made after its 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, lost to President Barack Obama. It found the party has been harmed by a perception “that the GOP does not care about people.” Also offering a kinder, gentler Republican counterweight to Trump: House Speaker Paul Ryan. On Tuesday, he held forth at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic in Washington to outline House Republicans’ plan to reduce poverty. The Koch ads are part of a branding strategy for their multibillion-dollar conglomerate, based in Wichita, Kansas. But their long-time political activism means the campaign doubles, in a way, as a Republican effort. The 60-second ad has the feel of something coming from a political candidate, with language that might appeal to supporters of Democratic See KOCH | 5A �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, June 12, 2016 5A Rio faculty receive awards Staff Report RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College have announced the winners of this year’s annual faculty awards. These awards highlight the excellence and achievement of three faculty members each year. University President Dr. Michelle Johnston praised the contributions and expertise of the entire faculty at the awards ceremony held on campus prior to commencement. “Rio Grande’s faculty are a dedicated, supportive and impressive group of individuals. They carry out our mission each and every day as they interact with students in and out of the classroom,” Johnston said. “I am so proud that we are taking this time to recognize the selﬂess and talented work of our faculty.” Dr. Scott Beekman, associate professor of history, was selected as the recipient of the Edwin A. Jones Excellence in Teaching award. This award is presented to a faculty member who reﬂects Jones’ outstanding commitment to higher education, community involvement and philanthropy. Each year, the Rio faculty votes for one of their colleagues to receive this honor. The Excellence in Scholarship award was presented to Dr. Elizabeth Brown, professor of English. This honor recognizes a faculty member who demonstrates long-term commitment to and makes superior contributions to scholarship in their program or ﬁeld. The recipient must also demonstrate a record of publications, exhibitions, performances or other forms of scholarship on a regional, national or international level.

Member SIPC. Showing support at Miss USA OU airport closes runway Staff Report ATHENS — The Gordon K. Bush Ohio University Airport runway will close (runway only) from June 12 to July 3 for a pavement rehabilitation project to be completed. The airport in Albany serves the general aviation needs of Athens County and portions of several adjoining counties. It has the longest runway and most sophisticated approaches when compared to other area airports. It also has more than 50 based aircraft and supports more than 54,000 annual aircraft operations. Airplanes will not be able to take off or land during the closure; however, helicopter trafﬁc will not be affected. During the $2.55 million Federal Aviation Administration airport improvement construction project, workers will complete 3 inches of pavement milling, repair exposed pavement as needed, then resurface the runway with 3 inches of new FAA P-401 asphalt. Shelly & Sands Construction is the main contractor and CHA is the project/construction management and design ﬁrm for the project. After the pavement rehabilitation is completed, the runway markings will be painted at a 50 percent application rate. After 30 days of pavement curing, the ﬁnal 50 percent of the pavement marking application will be applied. This second application will cause the runway to be closed for an additional four days. The airport will reopen again in early August. Andrew Doll, airport director, said the current runway was paved in 1991, so the resurfacing was needed since most runways are paved every 15 years. He said the pavement has developed many longitudinal and latitudinal cracks over the years, so the resurfacing will make the runway safer. “The current pavement on the runway is way beyond its useful life and this project is well overdue,” Doll said. “During the closure, our staff will be able to complete some other maintenance projects and repairs to space around the runway that are not possible while it is open to trafﬁc.” Because of the closure, the Ohio University Aviation Flight Training program will move 14 of its aircraft to the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport near Parkersburg, W.Va., next week so that the 57 aviation majors attending summer school can continue their training. They are scheduled to return the aircraft to the Ohio University Airport on July 5. Mark Atkinson, aviation business administrator at Ohio University, said he is excited about the new opportunities the temporary relocation provides for the students. “The students will experience some new things at the new location,” Atkinson said. “The West Virginia airport has a control tower, which we don’t have in Albany. Just being in a different area and airport will provide a unique learning experience for all of them.” M&G Polymers awards scholarships For the Times-Sentinel Courtesy photo Pictured sitting is Charlotte Knaul, 96, of Mason County, W.Va., who recently traveled to Las Vegas, Nev. to support Miss Ohio USA Megan Wise from Gallia County.

The program is an acting class for high school and college age students in the Jackson, Gallia and Vinton areas. Professor of ﬁne arts, Greg Miller said the program is being run through the Imagine Arts Endowment for Arts Education. The grant is meant to provide the youth of the tri-state with an outlet for learning more about possibili- ties and careers in the ﬁne and visual arts ﬁelds. “It’s important to encourage and inspire talented students who are passionate about the arts to pursue their dreams and goals,” Miller said. “There are high school age students in our community interested in a career in theater, but do not know how to get involved in the business. This program is meant to help give them the chance to not only speak with our experienced instructors, but also a career acting coach.” Miller said this is the second year in a row the program has been offered as an acting class and this year, the guest instructor will be acting coach, Candy Kaniecki Herman of Santa Monica, California. “It’s really a new challenge to work with people who don’t have experience with professional training. It’s really refreshing to see their enthusiasm,” Kaniecki said. “I’m so excited to work with the students. Classes like this are also a useful tool for learning to express yourself, interact with others and have conﬁdence, which is important no matter what ﬁeld the students go into.” Kaniecki, a Cleveland, Ohio, native, owns the West-End Acting Studio in Hollywood, California. Miller said he is excited to bring her 30 years of expertise to Southeast, Ohio for the ﬁrst week of the program. “I’m thrilled for Candy to work with the students. She’s had clients who are now actors in ﬁlm and on Broadway. She’s a fantastic and effective coach, and we are grateful to have her input in our program,” Miller said. Kaniecki is teaching the class for the ﬁrst week of instruction. Adjunct professor for the School of Arts and Letters Minda Hager will take over the class through the ﬁnal performance at the end of the month. Unions spend $1.4M; business, $375K in right-to-work fight Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. — While Republican West Virginia legislative leaders rammed a right-to-work bill into law early this year, unions spent $1.4 million trying to kill the policy and pro-business groups shelled out $374,500 to back the change. The groups wrestled over the proposal on TV and radio, in direct mail and internet ads, in phone calls and elsewhere, according to state grassroots campaign reports. In the end, the election-year outcome was predictable: lawmakers approved the bill largely on party lines and Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin then vetoed it. Needing only a simple majority, the GOP then overrode Tomblin’s veto to make right-to-work the law. Under the new law, collective bargaining agreements drawn up or updated July 1 or later can’t require workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment. Unions are already required to represent every worker covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Employees can currently be forced to pay fees, but Briefs From page 3A from 10 a.m. to noon; parents and spectators are welcome.

West Virginia law requires disclosure reports from groups who spend at least a few hundred dollars on campaigns that address the public and seek to inﬂuence legislation. Three groups ﬁled disclosures for campaigns in favor of right-to-work; six disclosed campaigns opposing it. Their costs included TV and radio ads, stafﬁng, polling, paid phone calls, among others. Some groups also used their campaigns to address the repeal of the state’s prevailing wage for public construction projects, another policy push that Republicans passed with a veto override. Unions heavily opposed that repeal as well. Right-to-work proponents contend the policy can lure new businesses and give workers freedom over their relationship with unions. Opponents say it’s all about diluting union bargaining inﬂuence by letting people enjoy beneﬁts without paying dues, while offering no deﬁnite improvements to the economy. In the right-to-work debate, a union group named Support WV Local Businesses Ltd. spent the most cash.

Coad4kids safety reminder Largely funded by the state’s Afﬁliated Construction Trades, the group spent $760,100, including $628,800 on TV ads against right-to-work and similar messages against the repeal of the state’s prevailing wage. Afﬁliated Construction Trades also spent another $119,800 independently on TV ads, disclosures show. Steve White, Afﬁliated Construction Trades president, said the amount spent seems like a lot, but it’s hard to get a message to stick in today’s cluttered world. He also said the lawmakers were dealing unions a “legislative death penalty.” The International Union of Operating Engineers, the state and national AFL-CIO, and the AFL-CIO’s Working America community afﬁliate also spent money opposing right-to- work, disclosures show. “We had to take it seriously, knowing the deck was stacked against us,” White said. The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce spent almost $151,000, the most in favor of the change. Americans for Prosperity of West Virginia spent $115,200 in favor of right-to-work and West Virginia Business & Industry Council chipped in $108,300 to advocate for that policy and the repeal of the prevailing wage. “Given that there were some messages coming from the other side that seemed confusing, there really needed to be somebody countering those messages,” said Chamber President Steve Roberts. “Sometimes, you don’t have to counter a message dollar-for-dollar to make your point.” Respironics WISP LIGHT WEIGHT LOW PRICE MINIMAL CONTACT *Call to see if you qualify for a FREE 30 day trial!!

Cook Field in Mason, W.Va. Wahama coaches pay tribute to late friend during repeat run By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — Gone … but most deﬁnitely not forgotten. In fact, Gary Clark’s presence in the Bend Area may have never been stronger than it was during the 2016 Wahama baseball season. Clark — who passed away after a six-year bout with cancer on the ﬁnal day of 2015 — was a staple in the Wahama community, rather it being as a member of the inaugural 2010 Athletic Hall of Fame class or as a contributor of White Falcon sports stories for over four decades with the Point Pleasant Register. Clark, however, was more than just a supporter or a coach of the Red and White. He served as an inspiration to all that came in contact with him over the years, mainly due to his athletic achievements, his honesty and his passion for doing things the right way. And when that unfortunate day came as the 2015 calendar year ended, the entire Bend Area — a term that Gary coined in his Wahama stories to represent all of the areas in the WHS school district — felt the magnitude of that loss. Since the start of 2016, the Wahama family has started putting the pieces back together as the Red and White try to move forward after losing one of their ﬁnest individuals. It hasn’t been an easy process and there is still a long way to go, but the one thing that has helped everyone get back to a sense of normalcy is knowing that Gary’s memory has allowed a lot of people to move forward in a positive direction. This latest baseball season — which ended up being Wahama’s ﬁrst-ever back-toback Class A championships — deﬁnitely had a Gary-type feel to it, particularly on the ﬁnal day as the White Falcons trailed 4-3 coming out of a rain delay in the middle of the ﬁfth inning of the Class A title game. And, as WHS assistant coach and athletic director Ron Bradley noted following such a triumphant campaign, Alex Hawley | OVP Sports In memory of Gary Clark, the Wahama baseball team had Gary’s initials and number put on a patch that was attached to the team’s hats throughout the 2016 season. The White Falcons also took Gary’s #44 jersey with them to the state tournament at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W.Va. it was a year that everybody could take a real sense of pride in — especially those with the better seats up above. “Honestly, his presence was there throughout the whole season. We found ourselves constantly talking about him and how nobody loved Wahama more than Gary,” Bradley said. “You know, I really felt his presence with the way things played out throughout the state tournament. “I can tell you that all of us as coaches are pretty proud of the way things turned out in the end, but I promise you that nobody would have been happier right now than Gary.” At the beginning of the 2016 baseball season, the White Falcons painted a large 44 in a circle in the home dugout at J.C. Cook Field — representing the number that Gary wore in high school. Later, the team decided to add both Gary’s initials and his number to a patch that they wore on the backs of their hats. “In all honesty, I think Ricky (Kearns) was the ﬁrst to mention putting something on the back of the hat,” WHS head coach Tom Cullen said. “I was wanting to do something with the number forty-four, but I just didn’t know what I wanted to do. As it ended up, a handful of coaches and players came up with that idea. Even his tribute was inspired by people working together, which was ﬁtting.” When Wahama hit the road during the tournament, Cullen speciﬁcally took a red Wahama jersey with 44 on it so that it could hang in the visiting dugout. “That’s why I kept taking the forty-four jersey to all of the road games in the postseason, because we weren’t leaving home without taking a piece of Gary with us,” Cullen said. “We wanted the kids to see it in plain sight, knowing that they would remember that we were playing for something bigger than ourselves. It’s just a jersey with a number, but it helped all of us to know that he was there with us.” WHS assistant coach Phil Hoffman noted that both the patch and the jersey did keep the kids focused on playing for something bigger, but he also believed that those items stood as a symbol of what playing baseball at Wahama was truly all about. “I think that in looking back, the kids really took on a lot of Gary’s mannerisms. They checked their attitudes at the door and showed respect to both the game and the community by representing the Wahama family with class,” Hoffman said. “They were less worried about their individual accomplishments and were more interested in making the group better. That was exactly how Gary would have done it and would have wanted it, so that was the thing that really stuck out to me about this season.” The White Falcons ﬁnished the year with a 22-11 overall record, won a share of their third straight TVC Hocking title and captured the program’s eighth consecutive Region 4, Section 3 crown before posting a pair of shutout wins in their second straight Region 4 championship.

Unfortunately for the Pomeroy Post 39 American Legion baseball squad, an evening like Thursday’s occurred in its 8th District Legion League opener at Athens. The Post 39 club fell behind 14-0 after the opening two innings, and eventually lost 14-4 at Ed Rannow Field in The Plains. Athens amassed 10 runs on 10 hits off Pomeroy pitcher Cameron Richmond in the opening inning, then scored four earned runs on more four hits in the second stanza to lead 14-0 after two. Christian Speelman, who took over on the mound in the second inning, settled down after the frame —but the Post 39 offense didn’t dent the scoreboard until the sixth when it scored once and in the seventh when it crossed three times. The contest was called following the seventh inning with the 10-run mercy rule. The loss left Post 39 at 1-2, although the 10-run differential in the league standings could come back to haunt the Shock & Awe later on. Post 39 had high hopes of a good game at Athens, but those were quickly dashed by the 10-run opening inning. While Richmond only worked two-thirds of an inning and allowed 10 runs on 10 hits, only four scoring position. In the ﬁfth, Billy Harmon walked and Wesley Clark singled to lead off, but Nuzum nailed down the next three Pomeroy batters with strikeouts. Finally, against Athens’ Austin Bauer in the sixth, Shock & Awe amounted an unearned run with two outs. Cooper Peterson walked, Jesse Morris singled, and Harmon reached on an error to load the bases. Peterson scored when Clark collected an inﬁeld hit on the next at-bat. Post 39 attempted to extend the tilt to an eighth inning, but scored only three runs on ﬁve hits off Bauer in the seventh.

That list has been announced, as Meigs, Alexander and Wellston were the division trichampions this season — as Meigs also shared the title with Alexander and Athens a year ago. In addition, the top TVC-Ohio honors were shared among the league’s top four clubs — as Meigs and Athens split the Offensive Most Valuable Player award. Cody Bartrum, a junior catcher and pitcher for the Marauders and the only three-time all-league honoree on the 32-man Gary From page 1B Catholic squad before claiming a thrilling 5-4 victory for the 2016 title. The White Falcons — at the beginning of the year — knew that they were wearing a big bull’seye as defensing state champions, particularly since everybody else at the Class A level wanted what Wahama had just accomplished. Cullen, however, believed that Gary’s passing gave his team a little bit more incentive in trying to become the ﬁrst Bend Area team to win back-to-back state championships in any sport. Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Paul Boggs | OVP Sports Raiders senior Dillon Ragan pitches during River Valley’s 11-4 loss Meigs junior Cody Bartrum captured the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division baseball Offensive to Alexander, on April 6 in Cheshire. Co-Player of the Year. roster, shared the Offensive award with Athens’ Brendan Sano. Chace Harris of Alexander was the Defensive MVP, while Wellston’s Morgan Stevens was the Coach of the Year. Also repeating for Meigs was junior Chase Whitlatch (pitcher/ inﬁelder), who was last season’s Defensive POY. Other Marauder repeaters included junior outﬁelder Layne Acree, junior inﬁelder Luke Musser and sophomore utility man Christian Mattox. Meigs’ two seniors — Alec Bissell (inﬁelder) and Kaileb Sheets (pitcher/catcher/outﬁelder) — also made the all-league team, as Sheets was a member of the all-TVCHocking squad a season ago with Wahama. The Marauders, Alexander and Wellston went 9-3 in spitting the division championship, as Athens ended at 7-5 — with River Valley and Vinton County both going 3-9. Meigs, Wellston and Alexander all had seven players selected, as Athens, River Valley and Vinton County each claimed two spots apiece. The Nelsonville-York Buckeyes ﬁnished at 2-10, When asked, Cullen acknowledged that Gary Clark may have played his biggest role yet in Wahama sports this spring — albeit in a different kind of capacity. “He probably had more to do with this title than last year’s. We were going for a repeat, but everybody is playing this game every year to win a state championship,” Cullen said. “Gary gave us something else that was worth playing for.” With the program’s fourth baseball title now in hand after also winning titles in 1996 and 1998, the Wahama faithful can now sit back and enjoy something that each individual knows Gary himself would have enjoyed being part of. In some ways with his absence, that part is still hard to deal with — rather it be for the players, the coaches or the supporters in the Bend Area. Then again, as Coach Hoffman pointed out, who knows how much of this could have been possible if it wasn’t for Gary’s countless contributions to the White Falcons during his tenure. “It’s funny because when the four of us were sitting on buckets during a game, we had close to 100 years of coaching experience between us,” Hoffman said. “Yet, when a big situation came up, we almost always deferred to Gary to see what he thought. He just had a wealth of knowledge about this game, the kind of knowledge that left any of us almost feeling inferior in those situations. “Gary always thanked us for letting us be part of the team and allowing him to work with the kids, because it was something he truly enjoyed. In reality, we were the ones that should have been thanking him for making us a better team and better people. If it wasn’t for Gary, I don’t know how much of the last two years would have happened.” This year’s roster took a great pride in honoring Gary’s memory, especially on the ﬁnal day of the 2016 season as they hoisted the Class A championship trophy. In at least knowing and being around Gary Clark, they joined a fraternity that covers over four decades of the greatest athletes in Wahama’s storied past. The trio of baseball coaches interviewed all had sons that played baseball at Wahama while in high school, and each of those young men are probably better individuals for having known and been around Gary Clark for a brief spell — or at least that was the belief of Coach Bradley. “I think all three coaches would agree that we are very proud and fortunate that our sons got to know and be around Gary during their high school careers,” Bradley said. “He always had good advice to pass along to the players and the kids really looked up to him. He was always looking out for their best interests and tried to make them not only better players, but better people in general. And he never expected anything in return.” If Gary ever did want anything in return for his efforts, Saturday’s ﬁnal outcome against Wheeling Central Catholic would have been his only request.

Hardly himself through the ﬁrst three games of the NBA Finals, Curry silenced his critics by pushing the Golden State Warriors within one win of making more history in this season of seasons. The two-time MVP found his long-range touch and scored 38 points, Klay Thompson added 25 and the Warriors rebounded from a big loss by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-97 on Friday night in Game 4. Curry scored just 48 total points in the ﬁrst three games, but broke out with seven 3-pointers and Thompson, his Splash Brother, drained four as the Warriors took a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. The Warriors weren’t surprised Curry bounced back. “All the slander,” forward Draymond Green said of the criticism directed at his teammate. “He’s a competitor. He’s been under a heavy microscope, and rightfully so. Twotime MVP, you’re expected to have a great game in the ﬁnals. He struggled the ﬁrst three, tonight he was our guy.” Golden State, which made history with a 73-win regular season, can become the seventh franchise to win consecutive titles with a victory in Game 5 on Monday night at rip-roaring Oracle Arena, where they are 50-3 this season. “Business as usual,” Curry said. “We answered the bell. We got back to who we are as a team.” And Curry got back to being Curry. “He’s Stephen Curry,” coach Steve Kerr said. “He’s the MVP for a reason. He doesn’t have the size and strength to dominate a game physically, so he has to dominate with his skill and that’s not an easy thing to do because your shot sometimes isn’t going to go in. “Tonight they went in.” After blowing out the Warriors by 30 in Game 3, the Cav- aliers blew their chance to even the series. However, James and Co. didn’t enough to contain Curry, Thompson or Harrison Barnes, who made four 3s and added 14 points. The Warriors set an NBA Finals record with 17 3-pointers. “They got going,” Kerr said. “Sooner or later it’s going to happen. You can’t keep guys like that down forever.” Kyrie Irving scored 34 points for the Cavs, who need to win Game 5 or they’ll ﬁnish as runner-up to the Warriors for the second year in a row. No team has ever come back from a 3-1 deﬁcit to win the ﬁnals. Still, James has conﬁdence the Cavs can bring the series back to Cleveland for Game 6. “Let’s get one,” he said of his mindset heading out to California. “We’ve already got to take a ﬂight home anyways, so we might as well come home with a win and play on our home ﬂoor again.” James added 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, but the superstar also had seven turnovers and was too passive at times. Kevin Love returned to the lineup after missing Game 3 with a concussion and added 11 points off the bench. Cleveland, which came in 8-0 at home in the playoffs, went 6:36 without a ﬁeld goal in the fourth quarter, the kind of scoring drought no team can afford against the potent Warriors. With Golden State leading 88-84, Curry got loose for a backdoor layup and Barnes followed with a dagger 3-pointer, deﬂating a crowd of 20,000plus fans clinging to hope that this would be the year Cleveland would win its ﬁrst pro sports championship since 1964. But this seems to be the Warriors’ year — from start to ﬁnish — and they can join an elite group of teams by winning Monday in front of their own fans. “If you can’t get up for that there’s something wrong with you,” Thompson said. “We can’t wait to get to Oracle.” Off the mark in the ﬁrst three games, the Splash Brothers found the pool in the third quarter. Thompson made four 3-pointers and Curry knocked down three as the pair combined for 19 of Golden State’s 29 points in the period. Their arrival was a welcomed relief for the Warriors, who had managed to bury the Cavs in the ﬁrst two games despite minimal production from their two stars. But with Golden State’s golden season being threatened again, Curry and Thompson stepped up the way they did in the Western Conference ﬁnals. When James was introduced before the game, he went through his usual handshake ritual with his teammates before telling Irving, “Be special.” Cleveland’s point guard was terriﬁc. Golden State’s was just better. Gordie Howe, the gritty and mighty ‘Mr. Hockey,’ dies at 88 DETROIT (AP) — Gordie Howe, the roughand-tumble Canadian farm boy whose boundless blend of talent and toughness made him the NHL’s quintessential star during a career that lasted into his 50s, has died. The man forever known as “Mr. Hockey” was 88. Murray Howe, one of his sons, conﬁrmed the death Friday, texting to The Associated Press: “Mr Hockey left peacefully, beautifully, and w no regrets.” Howe died in Sylvania, Ohio, at the home of Murray Howe, according to Detroit Red Wings executive Rob Mattina. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman lauded “the incomparable” Howe as a “remarkable athlete whose mastery of our sport was reﬂected by the longevity of his career and by his nickname, ‘Mr. Hockey.’” “Gordie’s commitment to winning was matched only by his commitment to his teammates, to his friends, to the Red Wings, to the city of Detroit and — above all — to his family.” Howe shattered records, threw elbows and helped the Detroit Red Wings win four Stanley Cups, becoming an idol to Wayne Gretzky and countless other Canadians while also helping the sport attract American fans. His ﬁnal NHL season came at age 52 when Gretzky was a rookie — a ﬁtting symmetry since Howe was the league’s most proliﬁc scorer until the “Great One” broke his career marks for goals and points. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland called Howe “one of the greatest players, if not the greatest,” in NHL history and the “greatest Red Wing of all time.” Speaking to the AP by phone, Holland said Howe had “as much skill and toughness as anybody who ever played.” “As a human being, he was incredible,” Holland added. “He loved to be around people and to make them laugh. He was an incredible ambassador for the sport.” With ﬁnesse and a heavy dose of grit, the Hockey Hall of Famer set NHL marks with 801 goals and 1,850 points — mostly with the Red Wings — that held up until Gretzky came along. Howe was also so famously ﬁerce that a “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” became synonymous with the combination of having a goal, an assist and a ﬁght in one game. Howe suffered a stroke in late October 2014 while at his daughter’s home in Lubbock, Texas, losing some function on the right side of his body. He suffered another stroke a short time later and family members said chronic back pain, advanced stages of dementia and high blood pressure were taking a toll. The body Howe relied on as an athlete stayed relative strong, but memory loss became a problem that family members noticed before the death of their mother, Colleen, in 2009.

Howe’s wife orchestrated a plan to get “Mr. Hockey” back on the ice two years later. She helped him live his dream of playing professional hockey with sons Mark and Marty in the World Hockey Association. And at age 45, Howe still had it. He scored 31 goals and had 69 assists, was named MVP of the NHL’s rival league and led the Aeros to the 1973 WHA title — a run that was the focus of a movie: “Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story.” Howe had 41 points for the Hartford Whalers during the 1979-80 season in what was his 26th and ﬁnal year in the NHL. When Howe ﬁnally retired for good from the NHL, he was 52. And with a single shift with the Detroit Vipers in the International Hockey League in 1997, he played professionally in a sixth decade at the age of 69. He referred to his play as “poetry in slow motion” late in his career, a far cry from his scoreand-smash style in his 20s, 30s and early 40s. Howe handled his business with his elbows and ﬁsts almost as often as he did with wrist and slap shots. He ranked among the NHL leaders in penalties minutes three times, spending 100-plus minutes in the penalty box during those seasons. When he resumed playing as a parent with sons on the same sheet of ice, opponents often found out not to mess with his boys. “If I can skate, I’ll get even,” Howe once said. Howe needed more than 400 stitches to close cuts, lost several teeth, broke ribs and nose. He had a serious head injury in 1950 that led to emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Despite the blood and broken bones, he didn’t miss many games during his NHL-record, 1,767game career and played in all 80 during his ﬁnal season that ended after his 52nd birthday. “You’ve got to love what you’re doing,” Howe once said. “If you love it, you can overcome any handicap or the soreness or all the aches and pains, and continue to play for a long, long time.” Mark Howe said his father was “the toughest, meanest guy I’ve ever seen on a pair of skates,” and that’s why he was able to play for decades. “No one in their right mind ever wanted to tangle with him,” Lindsay has said. “Gordie had a lethal pair of elbows, was strong as a moose and knew every angle.” Gordon Howe was born March 31, 1928, in tiny Floral, Saskatchewan, and raised nearby on the Canadian prairie in Saskatoon. His father was a laborer and Howe pitched in early, growing strong with the work. Howe left as a teenager to pursue a hockey career. Howe made his NHL debut for the Red Wings when he was 18. In Howe’s second season, he was an All-Star for the ﬁrst of a record 23 times. “Finally, I saved enough to buy my mom and dad a brand new home — with running water,” he once recalled. “I think that’s the biggest thing I ever achieved. That’s what I wanted, and I saved my money to buy it.” Howe was 6-foot and 205 pounds during his career, bigger than most players. His ability to skate, shoot and pass made him a threat every time he had the puck. No one, according to Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman, could match Howe’s style of play. “He could ﬁght, intimidate, play offensively,” Bowman recalled. Howe surpassed Richard’s NHL record of 544 goals in 1963. After the turn of the century, Howe, his sense of humor in full gear, would walk around Joe Louis Arena in Detroit carrying a teacup poodle named Rocket. Howe ranked among the top ﬁve in scoring for 20 straight seasons. Gretzky would later break his records for goals, points, MVP trophies and scoring titles while wearing No. 99 in a tribute to Howe, who wore No. 9 during a lower-scoring era of the game. He ﬁnished his career in 1999 with 894 goals. “I thought I had something they would never touch,” Howe said. “But I knew when they started scoring 80 goals in a season I was in trouble.” Mark Messier reached 1,887 points in 2004 during his 25th NHL season and pushed Howe from second to third in the record books. “I haven’t celebrated coming in second too many times in my life,” Messier said then. “But I’ll tell you, because of what Gordie has done, for us mere mortals who have played this game, being No. 2 is not so bad.” Howe, without a doubt, was most proud of his family. He raved about Colleen, whom he married in 1953. They became personal and professional partners as the woman known as “Mrs. Hockey” championed the game for children and later became her husband’s agent. She died in March 2009 at age 76 after battling Pick’s disease, a rare form of dementia similar to Alzheimer’s. Their children, Murray, Mark, Marty and Cathy, each took turns having him sleep at their houses for weeks or months at a time after their mother died. Playing with his sons, though, was what Howe said he was most proud of from his career. “The fact that I had an opportunity to skate ﬁve years with them,” Howe told the AP in 2011, “I think that’s every father’s dream.” Honored Gregg, who hails from Ashville, Ohio, batted a team-high .384 with two home runs, a team-high four triples, 56 total hits and 18 sacriﬁce hits, and 26 runs batted in while Arndt - a native of Clyde, Ohio - had a team-high 14 doubles and 41 RBI while batting .349 with ﬁve home runs. No other players rep- resenting a KIAC school were recognized. No. 1 Oklahoma City out of the Southwest Region led the way with seven selections, while regional foe and No. 9 LSU-Alexandria and No. 4 Campellsville University (Midwest) recorded six honorees. No. 17 Marian University (Ind.) from the Great Lakes and No. 18 Arizona Christian (West) earned ﬁve nods. Leading the way in the Central Region with four selections were No. 23 Grand View University and No. 15 Morningside, while in the Southeastern University posted an East Region-best four recognitions.

Howe participated in a clinical trial, which the family credited with helping him walk and do some of things he enjoyed, including making people laugh. Howe got one injection of donor stem cells into his spinal column and another intravenously. The previous year before starting stem cell therapy, Howe told his family he wanted to die. “He was saying, ‘Take me out back and shoot me,’” Murray Howe, a diagnostic radiologist, recalled in 2015. “He was serious. It wasn’t like a joke. I said, ‘Dad, let’s just see if we can help you ﬁrst.’” Murray Howe has said the full two-injection treatment is not available in the U.S. Mr. Hockey was a giant of the game and no list of the NHL’s greatest players has him anywhere but near the top alongside players like Bobby Orr, Maurice Richard, Mario Lemieux, Guy Laﬂeur, Bobby Hull and Gretzky. Like few others, Howe’s impact on the game stretched over decades. Besides the four Cups, the talented right winger won six Hart Trophies as NHL MVP and six Ross Trophies as the league’s top scorer. Howe began playing for the Red Wings in 1946, leading them to seven straight ﬁrst-place ﬁnishes in the regular season. He was a part of what was known as “The Production Line” with fellow future Hall of Famers Ted Lindsay and Sid Abel during his 25-year run with the franchise. “When Gordie came into the NHL, hockey was a Canadian game. He converted it into a North American game,” former NHL President Clarence Campbell said when Howe retired the ﬁrst time in 1971 because he 60662050 with a team-high six home runs and a .613 slugging percentage. The Parma Heights, Ohio product ranked second on the team with two triples and also tied for second on the team in doubles (10).

He isn’t done here with me yet — and red tomatoes. I eat tomatoes daily.” — Lona Fetty-Wamsley, 106 years old By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Lona Fetty-Wamsley was born June 9, 1910, in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Shortly after her birth, Lona’s mother passed away and she was taken in by her sister, Eva Murphy, who raised her as her own child. She recalls shanty boat days, (these often crudely built boats were once used as ﬂoating mobile homes or businesses on many parts of the Ohio River) and speaks of living through the Great Depression and “Herbert Hoover’s days.” “Back in the day, Point Pleasant was know as King Town,” Lona said. Provided Lona Fetty Wamsley celebrates her 106th birthday with family members, including great-granddaughter Rylei Wamsley, granddaughter Jackie Wamsley, great-grandson Caiden Wamsley and grandson Logan Wamsley. She married Cecil Ray Wamsley on May 7, 1937, and they had one child from this union, Ken Wamsley. The Flood of 1936 in the Ohio Valley was memorable in itself, but a personal adventure is foremost in her mind. Lona suffered a gall blad- der attack. Unable to navigate the water-covered roads to obtain medical care, her husband Cecil brought her up the raging, muddy Ohio River in a row boat to see the doctor. Before settling in Gallipolis, the Wamsleys made their homes in West Vir- ginia, Gallipolis and Delaware, Ohio. Lona says she has called Gallipolis home ever since they moved back to the area. Everyone in the area remembers the fall of the Silver Bridge, but Lona recounts her husband helping in the search and recovery efforts in the hours and days following the bridge’s collapse. Cecil was employed by Bob Bosworth, Okan Harbour Barge Company, as a deck hand, and along with other co-workers, spent long hours in the December weather searching for survivors. Lona was a stay-athome housewife until Cecil passed away unexpectedly in 1971. To support herself and her young son, she took a job on the river and became a river boat cook. Away from home for weeks at a time, she entrusted her son to a family friend, Clarence “Rabbitt” Stutler, while she was away working. Lona smiles as she says she is blessed with four granddaughters, one grandson and two great-grandchildren, Caiden and Rylei, who she enjoys very much. Along with her son Ken and his wife, Patricia, the family celebrated Lona’s birthday at Holzer Assisted Living in Gallipolis. Asked what she believes has brought her to the age of 106, “I give credit for my long life to God,” she said. “He isn’t done here with me yet — and red tomatoes. I eat tomatoes daily.” Contact Lorna Hart at 740-9922155 , Ext. 2551 Mulberry Community Center ‘extinguishes’ loan By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Last fall, an anonymous donor challenged the churches of the Meigs County Cooperative Parish to pay off the almost $60,000 loan balance by offering to match half of the amount owing if the parish raises $30,000 by Nov. 1. Although the loan’s maturity date was not until April 2019, parish ofﬁcials felt it was an opportunity to pay off the loan early. The nonproﬁt organization is made up of 23 churches throughout Meigs County that came together with a mission of “growing, sharing and uniting God’s people.” Located in the former Pomeroy Grade School, the building was purchased in 2003 for $1. Renovations were necessary and funds came from donations, as well as a loan for $260,000 that required monthly payments. The parish had some difﬁculty obtaining the loan, but Bill Nease, then-president of the Racine Home National Bank, stepped forward with conﬁdence that the loan would be repaid. A campaign was initiated in 2010 to reduce the principal and many individuals came forward to contribute $5 per month to assist with the endeavor. The facility provides a space for numerous ministries including Mulberry Community Kitchen, Thrift Store and Food Pantry. The parish has many projects it sponsors and is used by many in the community as a meeting place. For example, in August, the parish was used for the pick up of book bags ﬁlled with school supplies for qualifying students. Student from Meigs Industries have lunch on Thursdays and then hold an art class that is open to the public. The MiddleportPomeroy Rotary use Past Director Don Shaeffer stood by with a fire extinguisher during the mortgage burning ceremony. Provided photos The actual mortgage on the Meigs Cooperative Parish was burned in a ceremony in May. the conference room for their weekly meetings. The MCCO’s efforts contribute much to the community, and with the loan extinguished, could look forward to having additional funds to provide even more resources to needs within the community and operating expenses of the center. According to board member and 2016 chairelect of the council Robert Beegle, parish ofﬁcials realized many in the community were already involved in fundraising activities. “But with the opportunity to double your money, it is a hard challenge to turn down,” Beegle said when discussing the donor challenge. He and other parish members hoped that individuals and organizations within the community who appreciate the services the center provides will join the fundraising efforts. As the Nov. 1 deadline loomed for the Meigs County Cooperative Parish to meet a challenge, Beegle was at his desk writing letters to more potential contributors to the cause when he was told that more than $7,000 had just been donated to the parish, more than enough to meet their goal. The anonymous donor was notiﬁed and immediately came forward with their check for more than $30,000. When asked what the plan was to celebrate their achievement and the generosity of the donors, Beegle and current parish members replied that it happened so fast, they needed time to prepare. “We were so busy trying to meet the goal,” Beegle said. “And having it met so unexpectedly, that’s not a bad problem to have, but we hadn’t thought about what we would do if it happened.” The day was ﬁnally planned for the May Mortgage Burning Celebration, and members of the Tuesday Volunteers — Jimmy Frye, Billie Joe Spencer and Ed Ball — had the honor of burning the mortgage. The ceremony was presided over by David Ridgeway, past chair of the Coordinating Council, while another past director, Don Shaeffer, stood by with a ﬁre extinguisher, just in case. The Rev.

Community members of all ages are encouraged to get involved with their local community garden. Youth, especially, are able to explore gardening and nature through formal or informal participation in community gardens. Community gardens promote teamwork and good stewardship, and provide a safe place for people of different backgrounds to interact. There are many dif- ferent types of community gardens in our county supported by the Meigs County Health Department’s Creating Healthy Communities and Together on Diabetes grant programs. The Mulberry Center established a garden to increase access to produce for those working in the garden and to stock its food pantry and kitchen with fresh produce. Meigs and Eastern local schools host gardens to teach children about the importance of agriculture through hands-on activities. Meigs County Juvenile Court mentors youth by working to maintain school gardens during the summer break. A communal garden at the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District is being developed by Girl Scout Troop 1350 to provide fresh produce to residents in the area. A community garden is a great way to have access to the resources needed to grow and harvest fresh fruits and vegetables.
