Two injured in US 33 collision By Michael Hart For the Times-Sentinel RACINE —An unidentified woman was airlifted to a hospital following a crash Friday afternoon on U.S. 33. The Ohio State Highway Patrol, Racine Fire Department, Meigs EMS and Meigs County Sheriff’s Office responded to the crash at approximately 6 p.m. Friday. OSHP is responsible for the investigation and released limited information at press time. A female in a red Toyata Prius reportedly crossed U.S. 33 from Morning Star Road (County Road 30) and collided with a Brown GMC Sonoma driven by an unidentified male. The Prius spun and came to rest in the middle of U.S. 33 among a large amount of debris. The Sonoma careened off the road and landed on its side. The severity of the crash, troopers said, made it difficult to determine the direction of travel. Bystanders gathered at the scene indicated the sedan had pulled in front of the oncoming pickup and stated there were witnesses to the crash. Officers present declined to comment while the incident remains under investigation. According to EMS on the scene, they delivered the injured female to Meigs Emergency Room prior to airlifting her to an area hospital. The male was treated at the accident site. The accident is still under investigation and no further information on the condition of the woman is available.

GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Commissioners listened to the desires of local land developers and the village of Rio Grande on Thursday in an attempt to annex land north of the village across U.S. 35. According to Rio Grande Mayor Matt Easter, a representative of the property 103 Buckeye Hills Road, Bill Dummitt, is the one petitioning to bring the property into the municipality through the annexation process. Build development representatives from LandBaron Properties met with county commissioners and Gallia Auditor Larry Betz to discuss some of the details and questions of the process. The county’s legal representation had some questions about Ohio Revised Code sections as to how the petitioner wanted to go about extending village boundary limits. “Our legal, he was concerned under which code this was being presented,” said Commissioner Harold Montgomery, “whether it’s presented under 709.16 or another. He wasn’t clear under which sections and there is a bit of difference in the sections.” “There’s already a house and a two-story apartment there, that’s the red building,” said the build team representative. “Right there, there is about seven acres. What he wants to do is put in 10 cabins that go up a hill near Buckeye Hills but not up to the fence or where their property is. Put in 10 rental cabins there with a small driveway and not have to move the gas line or anything like that. The reason to move inside the village is just to tap into their sewer which is already right there.” Montgomery said he did not think there was much concern about being able to annex the property, save for the question of U.S. 35 being between the property and village limits. Montgomery noted the See LIMITS | 3A �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2A Sunday, June 26, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel OBITUARIES ROSELLA BIRCHFIELD DONNA GARTEN PROCTORVILLE — Donna J.

HURRICANE, W.Va. — Books and Brews is finally living up to its name and serving alcohol in its establishment — something that hasn’t happened on that block of Hurricane’s Main Street in roughly 70 years. Pat Pelley, owner of Books and Brews, wanted to combine his two favorite things — books and beer — in one place. But with zoning restrictions, Books and Brews couldn’t sell alcohol at that location, so the Brews in the name originally just referred to coffee Pelley and another businessman trying to open a bar proposed a rezoning ordinance to allow alcohol to be served on the block. Hurricane City Council passed the ordinance, and the bookstore/ restaurant reopened last month. Although Pelley said his business has done well without alcohol, he loses customers who want to enjoy a glass or wine or a beer with their meal. “Go to 95 percent of local restaurants and they have beer and wine,” Pelley said. He thinks the council recognized his commitment to running a successful restaurant in Hurricane. “I’m in it for the long haul. I live above this place,” Pelley said. “They realized that and weren’t trying to steer another business away.” Pelley and his wife, Clare, opened Books and Brews late last year after Pelley left his job in the mining industry. The family has put in thousands of dollars into the building itself, renovating the building and installing important elements, such as a handicap-accessible restroom. Pelley said he’s focusing on craft beers, especially local craft beers, and wine. Pelley said the majority of the feedback they’ve had has been positive, but there are a few people who were unhappy with the addition of beer and wine. Although the establishment will be selling alcohol, the Pelleys said it doesn’t mean the restaurant is turning into a rowdy bar. They’ll still close at 11 p.m. on the weekends and they won’t sell liquor. Books and Brews hosts live music on the weekends, and the addition of alcohol will draw in a larger crowd for the shows, Pelley said. He said the musicians appreciate playing at Books and Brews, because the audience is coherent and is there to actually listen to the music, rather than a late-night bar crowd. Books and Brews will also be opening later, instead of at 8 a.m., on weekdays. Now, Tuesday through Thursday, the restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. On Friday and Saturday the restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sundays will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Pelley said the motivating factor behind these changes is his two young children, who he wants to spend more time with. By pushing back opening to 11 a.m., Pelley said he gets three more hours a day with his children. The hardest part of the renovations has been being closed for 18 days and turning away customers, the Pelleys said. Pat Pelley said it’s a gutwrenching feeling to have to tell a customer that they’re closed. In addition to adding alcohol sales to the menu, the Pelleys added more seating to the dining area and removed some bookshelves. They’ve also renovated the kitchen to bring it more up to date. The kid’s corner still remains in the same place, and the couple’s 2-year-old son, John, still thinks he runs the place, the Pelleys joked. “The whole place is his kid’s corner,” Pelley said. Clare said they’ve reorganized the books to bring more order and control to the shelves, and focused on quality over quantity.

Anybody who wants to be part of our village growth and hook up to our sewer can do that.” Weekly craft class makes afghans for hospital nursery — Matt Easter, Mayor of Rio Grande Limits By Mindy Kearns Special to the Register From page 1A MASON, W.Va. — It began as a craft class at the Mason library, but has become so much more. When library clerk Susan Petry asked Vicky Nazarewycz to teach a crochet class several months ago, she was hoping it would entice some women to get out of the house once a week and learn something new. Forward to this week and the group of ladies, calling themselves “Binding Friendships” is now paying their newfound crafting forward. The women are donating baby afghans they have made to the Pleasant Valley Hospital nursery in Point Pleasant, W.Va. The blankets are made in wave, shell and other patterns, in all colors of the rainbow. Petry said the name of the group comes from the ends of the yard that must be bound together at each row on the afghans. The crafting isn’t limited to crocheting, however. While members Sharon Lovins, of New Haven, W.Va., and Bev Roach, of Letart, W.Va., continue to crochet, Petry knits. interactions for county records and said the county would need to more closely examine and make certain everything was in line with legal codes for annexation. Commissioners put the hearing in recess to be heard again at future times. “The (sewer treatment facility) is right there and we were told if we wanted to tap into that we needed to be annexed,” said Dummitt. “So, we’re in no hurry. We want to make sure everything is done correctly and all the concerned parties have an understanding. Those 10 cabins will be permanent residences. We just need to ‘jump through the hoops’ as it were.” According to Easter, the village and township representatives had already approved the move for annexation. The county commission needs to go through its oversight protocol before anything is settled. “We don’t force annexations, but we’re always open to building the village,” Easter said. “Anybody who wants to be part of our village growth and hook up to our sewer can do that.” Dean Wright can be reached at (740) 4462342, Ext. 2103.

There are 188 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 26, 2015, a divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Obergefell v. Hodges, ruled 5-4 that same-sex couples had the right to marry nationwide as it overturned bans in 14 states. On this date: In 1483, Richard III began his reign as King of England (he was crowned the following month at Westminster Abbey). In 1870, the first section of Atlantic City, New Jersey’s Boardwalk was opened to the public. In 1925, Charles Chaplin’s classic comedy “The Gold Rush” premiered at Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for a second term of office by delegates to the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia. In 1945, the charter of the United Nations was signed by 50 countries in San Francisco. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman authorized the U.S. Air Force and Navy to enter the Korean War. In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower joined Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in ceremonies officially opening the St. Lawrence Seaway. Swedish boxer Ingemar Johansson knocked out Floyd Patterson in the third round of their match at New York’s Yankee Stadium to win the heavyweight title. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited West Berlin, where he delivered his famous speech expressing solidarity with the city’s residents, declaring: “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I am a Berliner). In 1973, former White House counsel John W. Dean told the Senate Watergate Committee about an “enemies list” kept by the Nixon White House. In 1988, three people were killed when a new Airbus A320 jetliner carrying more than 130 people crashed into a forest during a demonstration at an air show in Mulhouse, France. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush went back on his “no-new-taxes” campaign pledge, conceding that tax increases would have to be included in any deficit-reduction package worked out with congressional negotiators. In 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Virginia Military Institute to admit women, or forgo state support. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush said it was “disgraceful” that the news media had disclosed a secret CIA-Treasury program to track millions of financial records in search of terrorist suspects. More than a foot of rain inundated Washington, D.C., toppling a 100-year-old elm tree on the White House lawn and causing flooding that closed major government departments. Five years ago: New York City’s gay pride parade turned into a carnival-like celebration of same-sex marriage as hundreds of thousands of revelers rejoiced at the state’s new law giving gay couples the same marital rights as everyone else. In Senegal, hundreds of Muslim protesters descended on a Jehovah’s Witness temple and a bar in Dakar, setting the buildings on fire in a rare instance of religious extremism in the normally moderate Islamic republic. Top-ranked Yani Tseng won the LPGA Championship at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York, by 10 strokes. One year ago: President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and their wives visited Charleston, South Carolina, where nine black churchgoers had been shot to death; Obama eulogized one of the victims, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who was the pastor of the church and also a state senator. Richard Matt, one of two convicted murderers who’d escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York, was shot and killed by authorities in a wooded area 30 miles from the prison; David Sweat remained at large (he was arrested two days later). A gunman killed 38 tourists on a beach in Sousse (soos), Tunisia, in an attack later claimed by the Islamic State group. Former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, 85, died in Moscow.

THEIR VIEW ‘Hillbilly Hot Dog’ and a helping of grace During one of my recent evangelistic meetings, my son and I were staying in one of the most unique areas a person could ever find. Our hotel was in Gallipolis, and the meeting that I was preaching was in Gallipolis Ferry, W.Va., just outside of Point Pleasant, W.Va. I have been there many times and have always enjoyed the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers, the historical town of Gallipolis (which now has an excellent Pip & Hud’s yogurt shop), the many lovely bridges, the fantastic historical mural along the flood wall in Point Pleasant, and even the Mothman. But on this most recent trip, my son and I were introduced to a brand-new experience. In the tiny town of Lesage, W.Va., pastor Burgess took us to a unique culinary gem — Hillbilly Hot Dogs. If you are from the big city, you will regard the place as being located just east of nowhere. When we pulled onto the property, we noticed a vehicle mounted high up in the treetop. I have without being no idea how they offended. accomplished that.

Grace we give allows us to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than simply assuming the worst. Grace we give allows us to forgive others as Christ forgave us. Grace given to us allows us to breathe much easier, laugh, and let go of the fear and trepidation of crossing some unknown yet forbidden line. Grace on all sides allows us to make a wide distinction between people who are trying to be offensive, and people who have innocently said or done something we do not like. The world could use more grace — and more Hillbilly Hot Dogs. Bo Wagner is pastor of the Cornerstone Baptist Church of Mooresboro, N.C., a widely traveled evangelist, and the author of several books.

Last year, the Supreme Court issued a decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, holding that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry regardless of where they live within the United States. As a result, Social Security recognizes more same-sex couples as married for purposes of determining entitlement to Social Security benefits or eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We recently updated instructions for employees to process claims and appeals when a determination of marital status is necessary. With these changing rules, we encourage anyone who believes they may be eligible for benefits to apply now. You can learn more about our policies for same-sex couples at www.ssa.gov/ people/same-sexcouples. After the honeymoon, you can focus on your career or starting a family, moving to a new home, and securing a well-deserved retirement. Now, you’re all set. Let the celebrations begin!

Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. Looking back at the top stories from 2015-16 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com The seasons come and go. The memories made during those spans never disappear. It was an intriguing 2015-16 prep sports year within the Ohio Valley Publishing area, one that saw numerous accomplishments come to each of the 10 high schools located within Mason, Meigs and Gallia counties. There were ups and there were downs to go along with feats both large and small. But, no matter how tough the adversity, the athletes never gave up — which in turn made for some really good stories over the course of the last 10 months. Being able to look back on the highlights from the 2015-16 high school sports year, five things really stuck out in the tri-county area. And, more importantly, each county was represented in some fashion in those five selections. So, starting Tuesday, the OVP Top Five Stories of 2015-16 begins a countdown from five to one — with the story of the year scheduled to run in the weekend sports editions of the Point Pleasant Register and the Sunday TimesSentinel. There were plenty of options in getting the list down to five stories, but the ones that didn’t make the cut were no less important. In actuality, the quintet that did make the grade simply had more going on around them and had a greater impact at the time. Next week’s list, however, is next week. Here’s a look at the other great accomplishments from the OVP area during the 201516 school year.

The Repository in Canton reports (http://bit.ly/291PDHk ) that some people got in line at a Jackson Township shopping center Thursday more than three hours before the time that Dellavedova said he’d be arriving. Dellavedova was a key contributor off the bench for the Cavaliers during the regular season and for some of the postseason as the team staged a historic comeback in the NBA finals to capture Cleveland’s first major sports championship in 52 years. The Australia native signed autographs and posed with fans for more than an hour. NFL to interview Steelers cut players in PEDs probe kicker Suisham NEW YORK (AP) — Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and James Harrison will be interviewed next month by NFL officials in connection to a media report that linked them to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. A letter from NFL executive Adolpho Birch that was obtained Friday by The Associated Press says Green Bay linebackers Matthews and Peppers and Pittsburgh linebacker Harrison will be interviewed when training camps open. The Packers begin practicing on July 26, the Steelers on July 29. The letter also mentions defensive lineman Mike Neal, a free agent who will be interviewed. It does not mention the now-retired Peyton Manning, who also was cited in Al-Jazeera’s doping report in December. But USA Today, citing an unnamed source, reported that an investigation into Manning’s possible involvement also is progressing. The NFL first notified Matthews, Peppers, Harrison and Neal about its investigation into the report on Jan. 11. That investigation has proceeded, but Birch wrote that the players’ union hasn’t responded to “multiple requests” to schedule the interviews, which would be conducted with an NFLPA representative present. Al-Jazeera America reported allegations by Charlie Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic. But Sly later recanted his claims. In his letter, Birch wrote that “the players were further advised that, with their full and timely cooperation, the investigation would be conducted expeditiously and with minimal disruption.” “While the investigation has proceeded,” he continued, “we have yet to interview the players. We have attempted since early April to work through the NFLPA to schedule them, but despite multiple requests the NFLPA has failed to respond, except to seek reconsideration of the basis for the investigation.

It appears the longtime kicker’s career may be in jeopardy, too. The team released Suisham on Friday after he failed a physical. The 34-year-old is recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee suffered during the Hall of Fame Game last August. The team hoped to bring Suisham to training camp, where he would compete with Chris Boswell for the starting job. Suisham, however, recently experienced a setback that general manager Kevin Colbert says pushed back the timeline on his recovery. Suisham joined the Steelers in 2010 and converted 124-of-141 field goal attempts and each of his 173 extra-point attempts through the 2014 season. In a statement, Suisham described the knee injury as “catastrophic” and “critical” to his career going forward.

Three games per franchise will be made available after fans vote at nfl. com/youtubegames for their choices out of five matches previously chosen by NFL Films and the teams. Voting runs through next week. So Jets fans seeking to relive Super Bowl glory from way back in 1969 could choose Joe Namath’s “guarantee” game against the Colts. Or 49ers fans can select the 1981 NFC title win over Dallas featuring Dwight Clark’s leaping end zone catch to send San Francisco to its first Super Bowl. And Titans fan can relive the Music City Miracle. No matter position, Simmons centerpiece of 76ers’ offense PHILADELPHIA (AP) — No matter what position he ends up playing, Ben Simmons is going to be the centerpiece of the Philadelphia 76ers’ offense. “He’s a facilitator, a distributor and he’s going to have the ball in his hands a lot,” said Bryan Colangelo, the team’s president of basketball operations. “He’s going to make everyone on the floor better. He’s going to make our entire team better.” It’s the expectations of being the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, something that only happens about once a generation in Philadelphia. The 20-year-old Australian was the first of three firstround picks taken by the Sixers Thursday night. Despite a collection of players drafted in the lottery in recent years, Philadelphia is turning to Simmons to be the focal point. Philadelphia coach Brett Brown has a challenge in finding where Simmons, a 6-foot-10 former LSU forward will play in the NBA. The Sixers are flush with big men, and Simmons is just another big body. However, they lack depth in the backcourt, meaning Simmons could be asked to play guard despite his size. Simmons doesn’t necessarily need a position, he said confidently at his introductory press conference. “I can play anywhere on the floor and contribute,” he said. “You can put me anywhere onethrough-five on either offense or defense.” And it’s very likely he’ll be an amoeba of sorts for Brown and play all five positions at one point or another. He is a superb ball handler for his size and is an excellent passer. He also can drive to the basket and has an NBAready body to play physically underneath. The only thing lacking in his game at the moment is a consistent jump shot, but it is something the Sixers feel can be developed, and Brown has a great relationship already with Simmons that the team is confident he is the coach who can develop it. Brown coached Simmons’ father, Dave, in Australia in the 1990s and got to know Ben through that relationship. Ben Simmons said he feels really comfortable with Brown because of that pre-existing relationship and said he couldn’t ask for a better scenario to begin his professional career. “It’s a very special situation,” Simmons said. “This is very rare, but it was the perfect timing for me. I’m definitely in the right situation.” The Sixers also added a pair of international prospects, selecting forward Timothe Luwawu from France with the No. 24 selection and, two picks later, shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz of Turkey. In Turkey, Korkmaz was a teammate of 2014 draft pick Dario Saric, who is expected to join the Sixers next season. Luwawu was also at the press conference Friday and stated that being drafted by the 76ers was the best day of his life. “These players … are just a part of the story as it unfolds,” Colangelo said. “We’re excited about our future and we can’t wait to get started.” �SPORTS 3B Sunday, June 26, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Trades are part of NBA draft day NEW YORK (AP) — The long wait to find out which NBA team would be in his future was over in a hurry for Domantas Sabonis. The sophomore forward from Gonzaga was chosen 11th in the NBA draft Thursday night by the Orlando Magic and by the time he did his first interview a minute or two later, he let the world know he wouldn’t be headed to Florida. Sabonis, the son of Hall of Fame big man Arvydas Sabonis who starred for the Soviet Union, told ESPN that his rights were traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the NBA made the trade official about two hours later. In addition to Sabonis, the Magic sent guard Victor Oladipo and forward Ersan Ilyasova to the Thunder for forward Serge Ibaka, Oklahoma City’s third star behind Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. With Durant a free agent, Westbrook could find himself without much offensive help in Oklahoma City.

Portland for a future second-round cash considerations. Draft over, and now the Summer of Durant has arrived such a bold move — the Thunder gave up Ibaka and landed the rights to No. 11 pick Domantas Sabonis, guard Victor Oladipo and forward Ersan Ilyasova — works two ways for Oklahoma City. On one hand, it may make staying put more attractive to Durant. On the other, if Durant leaves, the Thunder will still have plenty of talent to surround Russell Westbrook with. Then again, the Thunder are not counting on Durant leaving. “We’re striving to build a great organization,” Presti said. “And I think for the last eight years, he’s been striving for the same thing.” Before he completed even his first hour as a member of the Thunder, so was Sabonis. “They were 30 minutes away from the finals,” Sabonis said, noting that Oklahoma City took Golden State to Game 7 of the Western Conference finals this year and led that series 3-1 before letting it slip away. “Hope I can bring that extra piece to their team which will help them succeed even more. I’m just really excited to be there. They’re a great organization.” Everyone will want to talk to Durant, and he’s hardly going to be the only one commanding major attention. Miami center Hassan Whiteside is planning to take free agent meetings in New York next week, with Dallas expected to be one of the major suitors trying to lure him away from the Heat. LeBron James can opt out, though it seems like he’s not leaving the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers. DeMar DeRozan, Dwyane Wade, Al Horford, Nic Batum and Dwight Howard will also be high on plenty of wish lists. If the Knicks weren’t looking like a major player before in free agency given how disappointing they’ve been on the court in recent years, the play to get Rose most definitely improves their collective outlook. “We felt that our group needed to have some kind of aggressive play, a fullcourt, aggressive attack,” Knicks President Phil Jackson said. “This was one of the ways we could get it done.” It’s a start, anyway. In a week, the free-forall begins, with the highest salary-cap numbers in league history set to usher in a shopping spree like none other. “We’ll have to be aggressive come July 1,” Orlando Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. “And we will be.” 604 State Route 7 South, Gallipolis, OH 45631 740.446.3093 60660504 freedomhomesohio.com Ohio Valley PHYSICIANS Primary Care Specialists �ŶŶŽƵŶĐŝŶŐ�Ă���Z&�dŚƌĞĞͲzĞĂƌ��ĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ Ohio Valley Physicians KŚŝŽ�sĂůůĞLJ�WŚLJƐŝĐŝĂŶƐ�ĂǁĂƌĚĞĚ�dŚƌĞĞͲzĞĂƌ���Z&��ĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ� 'ĂůůŝƉŽůŝƐ͕� KŚŝŽ� Ͷ� ϱͬϮϲͬϭϲ� Ͷ� ��Z&� /ŶƚĞƌŶĂƟŽŶĂů� ĂŶŶŽƵŶĐĞĚ� ƚŚĂƚ� KŚŝŽ� sĂůůĞLJ� WŚLJƐŝĐŝĂŶƐ� ŚĂƐ� ďĞĞŶ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĞĚ�ĨŽƌ�Ă�ƉĞƌŝŽĚ�ŽĨ�ƚŚƌĞĞ�LJĞĂƌƐ�ĨŽƌ�ŝƚƐ�/ŶƚĞŐƌĂƚĞĚ��ĞŚĂǀŝŽƌĂů�,ĞĂůƚŚͬWƌŝŵĂƌLJ��ĂƌĞ͗� �ůĐŽŚŽů�ĂŶĚ�KƚŚĞƌ��ƌƵŐƐͬ�ĚĚŝĐƟŽŶ�ƉƌŽŐƌĂŵƐ͘�dŚŝƐ�ŝƐ�ƚŚĞ�ĮƌƐƚ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ�ƚŚĂƚ�ƚŚĞ�ŝŶƚĞƌŶĂƟŽŶĂů� ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƟŶŐ�ďŽĚLJ͕���Z&͕�ŚĂƐ�ĂǁĂƌĚĞĚ�ƚŽ�KŚŝŽ�sĂůůĞLJ�WŚLJƐŝĐŝĂŶƐ͘ dŚŝƐ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ�ĚĞĐŝƐŝŽŶ�ƌĞƉƌĞƐĞŶƚƐ�ƚŚĞ�ŚŝŐŚĞƐƚ�ůĞǀĞů�ŽĨ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ�ƚŚĂƚ�ĐĂŶ�ďĞ�ĂǁĂƌĚĞĚ�ƚŽ� ĂŶ�ŽƌŐĂŶŝnjĂƟŽŶ�ĂŶĚ�ƐŚŽǁƐ�ƚŚĞ�ŽƌŐĂŶŝnjĂƟŽŶ͛Ɛ�ƐƵďƐƚĂŶƟĂů�ĐŽŶĨŽƌŵĂŶĐĞ�ƚŽ�ƚŚĞ���Z&�ƐƚĂŶĚĂƌĚƐ͘��Ŷ� ŽƌŐĂŶŝnjĂƟŽŶ�ƌĞĐĞŝǀŝŶŐ�Ă�dŚƌĞĞͲzĞĂƌ��ĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ�ŚĂƐ�ƉƵƚ�ŝƚƐĞůĨ�ƚŚƌŽƵŐŚ�Ă�ƌŝŐŽƌŽƵƐ�ƉĞĞƌ�ƌĞǀŝĞǁ� ƉƌŽĐĞƐƐ͘�/ƚ�ŚĂƐ�ĚĞŵŽŶƐƚƌĂƚĞĚ�ƚŽ�Ă�ƚĞĂŵ�ŽĨ�ƐƵƌǀĞLJŽƌƐ�ĚƵƌŝŶŐ�ĂŶ�ŽŶͲƐŝƚĞ�ǀŝƐŝƚ�ŝƚƐ�ĐŽŵŵŝƚŵĞŶƚ�ƚŽ� ŽīĞƌŝŶŐ�ƉƌŽŐƌĂŵƐ�ĂŶĚ�ƐĞƌǀŝĐĞƐ�ƚŚĂƚ�ĂƌĞ�ŵĞĂƐƵƌĂďůĞ͕�ĂĐĐŽƵŶƚĂďůĞ͕�ĂŶĚ�ŽĨ�ƚŚĞ�ŚŝŐŚĞƐƚ�ƋƵĂůŝƚLJ͘� KŚŝŽ� sĂůůĞLJ� WŚLJƐŝĐŝĂŶƐ� ŝƐ� Ă� &ŽƌͲƉƌŽĮƚ� ŽƌŐĂŶŝnjĂƟŽŶ� ǁŝƚŚ� ĂŶ� ŽĸĐĞ� Ăƚ� ϰϮϬ� ^ŝůǀĞƌ� �ƌŝĚŐĞ� WůĂnjĂ� ŝŶ� 'ĂůůŝƉŽůŝƐ͘��/ƚ�ŚĂƐ�ďĞĞŶ�ƉƌŽǀŝĚŝŶŐ�WƌŝŵĂƌLJ��ĂƌĞ�^ĞƌǀŝĐĞƐ�ĂƐ�ǁĞůů�ĂƐ�ĚƌƵŐ�ĂĚĚŝĐƟŽŶ�ƚƌĞĂƚŵĞŶƚ�ŝŶ� ƚŚĞ�'ĂůůŝƉŽůŝƐ�ĂƌĞĂ�ƐŝŶĐĞ�ƚŚĞ�LJĞĂƌ�ŽĨ�ϮϬϬϬ͘��KŚŝŽ�sĂůůĞLJ�WŚLJƐŝĐŝĂŶƐ�ĂůƐŽ�ŚĂǀĞ�ŽĸĐĞƐ�ůŽĐĂƚĞĚ�ŝŶ� ,ƵŶƟŶŐƚŽŶ͕�ts͕�>ŽŐĂŶ͕�ts͕�ZĂǀĞŶƐǁŽŽĚ͕�ts͕�WƌĞƐƚŽŶƐďƵƌŐ͕�<LJ͕͘�ĂŶĚ�DĂƌƟŶ��Ž͕͘�<z͘��sŝƐŝƚ�ŽƵƌ� ǁĞďƐŝƚĞ�ŚƩƉ͗ͬͬŽŚŝŽǀĂůůĞLJƉŚLJƐŝĐŝĂŶƐ͘ĐŽŵ�ĨŽƌ�ĂĚĚŝƟŽŶĂů�ŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƟŽŶ�ŽŶ�ŽƵƌ�ŽƚŚĞƌ�ůŽĐĂƟŽŶƐ͘� ��Z&�ŝƐ�ĂŶ�ŝŶĚĞƉĞŶĚĞŶƚ͕�ŶŽŶƉƌŽĮƚ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƟŶŐ�ďŽĚLJ�ǁŚŽƐĞ�ŵŝƐƐŝŽŶ�ŝƐ�ƚŽ�ƉƌŽŵŽƚĞ�ƚŚĞ�ƋƵĂůŝƚLJ͕� ǀĂůƵĞ͕� ĂŶĚ� ŽƉƟŵĂů� ŽƵƚĐŽŵĞƐ� ŽĨ� ƐĞƌǀŝĐĞƐ� ƚŚƌŽƵŐŚ� Ă� ĐŽŶƐƵůƚĂƟǀĞ� ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ� ƉƌŽĐĞƐƐ� ƚŚĂƚ� ĐĞŶƚĞƌƐ�ŽŶ�ĞŶŚĂŶĐŝŶŐ�ƚŚĞ�ůŝǀĞƐ�ŽĨ�ƚŚĞ�ƉĞƌƐŽŶƐ�ƐĞƌǀĞĚ͘�&ŽƵŶĚĞĚ�ŝŶ�ϭϵϲϲ�ĂƐ�ƚŚĞ��ŽŵŵŝƐƐŝŽŶ�ŽŶ� �ĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ�ŽĨ�ZĞŚĂďŝůŝƚĂƟŽŶ�&ĂĐŝůŝƟĞƐ͕�ĂŶĚ�ŶŽǁ�ŬŶŽǁŶ�ĂƐ���Z&�/ŶƚĞƌŶĂƟŽŶĂů͕�ƚŚĞ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƟŶŐ� ďŽĚLJ�ĞƐƚĂďůŝƐŚĞƐ�ĐŽŶƐƵŵĞƌͲĨŽĐƵƐĞĚ�ƐƚĂŶĚĂƌĚƐ�ƚŽ�ŚĞůƉ�ŽƌŐĂŶŝnjĂƟŽŶƐ�ŵĞĂƐƵƌĞ�ĂŶĚ�ŝŵƉƌŽǀĞ�ƚŚĞ� ƋƵĂůŝƚLJ�ŽĨ�ƚŚĞŝƌ�ƉƌŽŐƌĂŵƐ�ĂŶĚ�ƐĞƌǀŝĐĞƐ͘�&Žƌ�ŵŽƌĞ�ŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƟŽŶ�ĂďŽƵƚ�ƚŚĞ�ĂĐĐƌĞĚŝƚĂƟŽŶ�ƉƌŽĐĞƐƐ͕� ƉůĞĂƐĞ�ǀŝƐŝƚ�ƚŚĞ���Z&�ǁĞďƐŝƚĞ�Ăƚ�ǁǁǁ͘ĐĂƌĨ͘ŽƌŐ͘ &Žƌ�ĂĚĚŝƟŽŶĂů�ŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƟŽŶ͕�ĐŽŶƚĂĐƚ�ŽƵƌ�'ĂůůŝƉŽůŝƐ�KĸĐĞ�Ăƚ�ϭͲϳϰϬͲϰϰϲͲϰϲϬϬ͘ 60663670 60663670 60662155 MIAMI (AP) — Draft night belonged to Ben Simmons. The summer now belongs to Kevin Durant. With Simmons going No. 1 in the draft to Philadelphia and Brandon Ingram following one pick later to the Los Angeles Lakers, the most predictable part of the NBA offseason is complete. What comes next is really anyone’s guess. Free agency begins July 1, but it’s already clear some teams aren’t waiting for the shopping window to open before starting their summertime rosterremodeling. Derrick Rose — the first MVP who will call Madison Square Garden home since the 1970s — has already been sent to the New York Knicks, and Oklahoma City traded Serge Ibaka to Orlando on draft night in a deal that made a huge splash. And both moves surely got Durant’s attention, since the Knicks will want him and the Thunder most definitely want to keep him. “I’m interested to see what we do,” Thunder general manager Sam Presti said early Friday. He was talking about how the Thunder will make the trade pieces fit, after the bold draftnight move. He may as well have been talking about free agency, and how Oklahoma City will or will not keep Durant in blue and orange for at least one more season. All the talk going into the draft was about who would be No. 3 behind Simmons and Ingram, what Boston would do with the eight picks that it carried into the night, and if Chicago would move Jimmy Butler. For now at least, Butler remains with the Bulls. The Celtics were solid if not splashy, though their selection of Jaylen Brown at No. 3 got their ownership booed at the team’s draft party. International players got taken more often than ever before, but many of those guys likely won’t see the NBA floor for some time. On the surface, making �SPORTS 4B Sunday, June 26, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Cavs acquire rights to PG Kay Felder in draft CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers added a point guard to the party. Still celebrating their NBA title, the Cavs bought the No. 54 overall pick in the draft from Atlanta and used it to select Oakland guard Kay Felder, a prolific scorer who led the NCAA in assists last season. Cleveland sent cash considerations to the Hawks for the 5-foot-9 Felder, who averaged 24.4 points and 9.3 assists last season, when he was named Horizon League player of the year. “We are excited to welcome Kay Felder to the Cavs’ family,” general manager David Griffin said. “Kay is a dynamic playmaker, and most impor- tantly, the type of person and competitor that we want to add to our locker room.” The deal comes a day after the team was honored with a massive parade through downtown Cleveland, which finally got to celebrate a title after a 52-year wait. Felder was the only player in the country to rank in the Top 5 last season in scoring and assists. He’s just the fifth player in Division I history over the last 20 years to average over 23 points and six assists in a single season. The Cavs entered this year’s draft without any selections, but decided to add some backcourt depth. Cleveland already has three point guards on the roster in star Kyrie Irving, Mo Williams and Matthew Dellavedova. Williams is expected to pick up his option for next season while Dellavedova is a restricted free agent who lost coach Tyronn Lue’s trust and playing time during the finals against Golden State. Felder already has an ally in Cleveland as Cavs scout Brandon Weems, a close friend of superstar LeBron James, spent two seasons as an assistant at Oakland. The Cavs aren’t expected to be active in free agency, mostly because they don’t have any salary cap room. However, they will be busy. James will opt out of his contract in the coming days, but he’s already said he intends to re-sign for next season. J.R. Smith will test the free agency market and it’s still unclear what veteran Richard Jefferson will do after announcing his retirement and then changing his mind after fans chanted “one more year” during the team’s massive rally on Wednesday. And then there’s forward Kevin Love, who sustained a concussion and struggled throughout much of the finals before contributing in Game 7. Love’s name continues to swirl in trade rumors and the Cavs could be intrigued enough to listen to offers. Kyle Larson eyeing Sonoma as site of 1st Sprint Cup victory SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Over the last 20 days, Kyle Larson went to victory lane in NASCAR’s second tier Xfinity Series and picked up a pair of wins in his sprint car. He knocked off several podium finishes during Ohio Sprint Speedweek and finished third in NASCAR’s main event at Michigan. Now it’s time for Larson to produce in his fulltime job. He wouldn’t mind doing it at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday. Larson is riding a wave of momentum into NASCAR’s first road course race of the season, and he believes it could translate into his long overdue first career Sprint Cup series win. It may seem odd that Larson would choose a road course as the potential site of his breakthrough win considering his lack of experience on anything other than an oval. But Larson is quite comfortable on the picturesque 10-turn, 1.99-mile course in California wine country. “I really enjoy road course racing, especially here with friends and family,” said Larson, who grew up less than two hours away from the track in Elk Grove, California, and was a regular fan in attendance every time NASCAR came to town. Yet, Larson is the first to admit, “I don’t have hardly any road course experience,” and his first real experience turning left and right on a race track came in 2013 when he made the full-time move to NASCAR. But he’s progressively improved and was a roadcourse best fourth at Watkins Glen, the only other road course on the Cup schedule, in 2014. Some of his experience comes from running the 24 Hours of Daytona sports car event with his Chip Ganassi Racing teammates, and he went from an overwhelmed rookie in 2014 to winner in 2015. He likens the feel of racing on a road course to the sensation he’s used to in a sprint car, where Larson honed his racing skills. “I’m getting more experience, but still I probably ran only a little over 10 road course races in my life,” Larson said Friday. “But I like them because you can feel the car kind of move around a lot more. You can feel the suspension, so it feels more similar to kind of a dirt track. “I don’t know if it’s the dirt track, but just sprint cars and stuff the suspension moves around a lot and you can feel the balance of the car. On this stuff you can, too, where on the ovals our cars are so stiff and rigid you can’t really feel a whole lot with them. I think that is why I can feel a little bit BANKS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY PEACE OF MIND...

Both Ganassi drivers are competing this week under the watchful eye of team owner Chip Ganassi, who celebrated his first entries at Le Mans with a class victory in the prestigious 24-hour event last weekend. Ganassi’s teams went first and third at Le Mans in a dominating performance for the newcomers. So Larson is certainly feeling some pressure to deliver in his third full season in Cup, even though Ganassi doesn’t lay it on his young driver. “I don’t think I put any pressure on him,” Ganassi said. “He knows what’s up, he knows he has to win. He knows what it takes and what is expected of him.” Larson is the longesttenured driver from a current crop of young talent that is chipping away at the veterans in what is developing to be a changing of the guard. Although he’s shown bursts of promise, Larson has yet to string together any consistency, and he’s currently being challenged by Austin Dillon and rookies Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney to become the newest face in victory lane. “It would be nice to be the next new person to win a Cup Series race. It’s been a long time since a new person has won,” he said. “There are a crop of us young guys in our early 20s that would like to get a win. Chase is probably realistically got the best chance. He has been so close week after week now. Austin started the year out really strong, but I like road courses a lot. So, we will try and get it this week.” A win would lock Larson into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, which teammate McMurray made last year. There are 16 slots available in the field, and Larson thinks he’s got a shot at qualifying on points even if he doesn’t get a win. He was penalized 15 points by NASCAR for failing post-race inspection at Michigan, a race which crew chief Chad Johnston missed because of suspension for a different infraction. That leaves Larson 22nd in the standings with 11 races remaining to set the Chase field. Larson thinks Johnston, in his first season at Ganassi, is helping him hit his stride. “I haven’t had any experience with a new crew chief coming in before Chad,” Larson said. “It’s hard for them to come in and make all the changes that they want right away. It’s kind of a process. It took some time, a couple of months, and now we are building racecars the way Chad wants them built, the bodies, all that stuff. ”It has made our level or speed in the racecars get quicker. I think that has been the main thing is Chad’s influence has been key the last couple of months and we have been building the cars how he wants them. I just think it takes a little bit of time to get working together right, and now we seem to be clicking.” Panel studying stadium plan in Vegas gets new numbers LAS VEGAS (AP) — A day after Las Vegas won a bid for an NHL expansion team, a governor’s panel studying a proposed 65,000-seat domed stadium to lure a pro football franchise was greeted Thursday with a pep talk and changing financial figures. “We are going to find a way to make this work,” declared Andy Abboud, a top executive at Las Vegas Sands, the casino company headed by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who is pushing for the Oakland Raiders to move to the city. There was no talk at the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee work session about whether gambling on pro sports is a good idea. In fact, some casinos around town have already begun taking bets on how the as-yet unnamed hockey team will score its first goal in its first home game next year at the newly opened T-Mobile Arena, and how many total goals the team will score in its first season. With the football stadium now projected to cost at least $1.45 billion, committee members dug into projections about a rate of return for private investors including Adelson and the crucial question of where a stadium could be built. No site has been selected, despite timelines showing NFL owners would need to approve a Raiders move in January if the team is to begin play in Las Vegas in 2020. The committee is due to turn over its recommendations next month to Gov. Brian Sandoval, who has the power to call the Nevada Legislature into special session to approve any possible tax hikes connected to the effort. The panel, along with representatives from the Raiders, developer Majestic Realty Co. and Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands Corp., heard again that the project won’t cost the public more than $750 million. Most of that would come from a 0.7 percent hike in the hotel room tax at Las Vegas Strip properties and a 0.5 percent increase in hotel taxes in most of the rest of Clark County. The plan would also divert sales and payroll tax revenue generated at the venue back to stadium operators. The Raiders remain committed to paying $500 million toward the project, team President Marc Badain said. Other costs, including possible overruns, would be borne by the private developers, Abboud said. “I know there’s cynicism about subsidizing a billionaire, but you’re not,” Abboud said, acknowledging questions about the stadium benefiting Adelson, the owner of the Venetian and Palazzo resorts in Las Vegas and several resorts in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau. In December, Adelson’s family bought the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the state’s largest newspaper, which had been a longtime opponent of taxpayer funding for private projects. The paper declared in a January editorial that Las Vegas desperately needs a new stadium. “This is not a get rich quick scheme,” Abboud told the 11-member committee made up of top elected and casino officials, including Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International. MGM Resorts is a joint owner of T-Mobile Arena. A Raiders relocation from Oakland would require support from three-quarters of NFL team owners who have long resisted putting a team in Las Vegas. Some saw signs that freeze might thaw following the NHL announcement on Wednesday making Las Vegas a pro sports town. American Gaming Association President Geoff Freeman said the development signals “a rapidly evolving view of gaming as an important, mainstream segment of the broader economy.” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said his sport is less susceptible to gambling irregularities due to the small volume of bets placed on hockey. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, June 26, 2016 5B 60664901 �SPORTS 6B Sunday, June 26, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Reds open weekend of honoring Pete Rose by reuniting Machine CINCINNATI (AP) — More satisfying than hit No. 4,192? In some ways, it is for Pete Rose, who needed more time to get into the Cincinnati Reds’ Hall of Fame than it took to set baseball’s hits record. Rose is being inducted into his hometown team’s hall and having his No. 14 officially retired over the weekend, 27 years after he was banned from baseball for betting on the Reds. His ban makes him ineligible for baseball’s Hall of Fame, but the team is honoring him with the permission of Commissioner Rob Manfred. The Reds already honor him in displays at their hall and at various places in Great American Ball Park. Now, he’ll be included fully in the team’s gallery of greatest players. “This will be the ulti- Rose got his recordsetting hit against on Sept. 11, 1985. Rose was the last player introduced but didn’t speak to the crowd. He’ll be formally added to the team’s Hall of Fame on Saturday and have his number retired on Sunday.

Padres, the same team so they might as well “Hopefully, it will motivate him maybe more, in better ways, and we can get this all behind us, after how many years? Too many.” The Big Red Machine won World Series titles in 1975-76 with Rose, Bench, Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, Hall of Famer Tony Perez, Ken Griffey, George Foster, Davey Concepcion, Cesar Geronimo, and Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson. Rose declines to call it the greatest team ever because the Yankees and Dodgers had some great teams. “But I will go to my grave saying the Big Red Machine was the most entertaining team ever,” Rose said. “We had white stars, we had black stars, we had Latino stars, we had a Hall of Fame manager, we had speed, we had defense, we had home run leaders, we had batting champions, we had daring baserunners.” Bench said he still gets stopped by many baseball fans who want to talk about that team. “For us, it’s magical,” Bench said. “I go everywhere in this country, and people come up to me and can name our lineup. They say, ‘I was a Cubs fan, I was a Dodgers fan, I was a Giants fan. Man, we loved you guys. We hated you, but we respected you.’ To this day, they know our lineup. That proves the excitement we brought to the game. “People want something to hold on to. We listen to the oldies. We’re kind of the oldies.” Text: Lawyer seeks plea deal, doubts Manziel can stay clean DALLAS (AP) — An attorney handling Johnny Manziel’s domestic violence case expressed doubts about the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback’s ability to stay clean and said he was given a receipt that shows Manziel may have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store just 15 hours after he was involved in a hitand-run crash, according to a lengthy text message accidentally sent to The Associated Press. Defense attorney Bob Hinton’s text indicated Manziel’s legal team was seeking a plea deal with prosecutors, but suggested that could be tricky. “Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle,” the attorney wrote. Hinton also wrote that he had been emailed a “heads up” receipt “which purports to reflect” that Manziel made a purchase of $1,018.77 at a Gas Pipe store at 12:03 p.m. on Tuesday, less than a day after his crash. A manager at a Gas Pipe location not far from where Manziel’s crash was reported declined to discuss whether he bought anything there. A sign in the store says ID is required for purchases above $200. “I don’t know if the receipt is legitimate or not,” Hinton responded when asked about it by the AP. “I just know that it doesn’t say Johnny’s name on it anywhere that I can see. It’s just that somebody in that store, I guess, circulated that to the other store managers and employees saying, ‘Guess who was here today and spent this amount of money.’ That’s all I know.” The errant text was sent Wednesday after the AP sought comment via text about Monday night’s crash. When asked about the text, Hinton said he had meant to send it another attorney on the case and was unaware the AP had received it instead. He insisted the contents were protected by attorney-client privilege and threatened to sue if certain details were published. The text shows that Manziel’s attorneys are pushing for leniency, even as they grapple with indications he could still be struggling with substance abuse more than a year after his stay in a rehab center.

The 23-year-old Manziel is accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley during a night out in January. He faces a misdemeanor assault charge that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. As the case has played out, the 2012 Heisman winner at Texas A&M has been photographed partying from Hollywood to Las Vegas to New York in recent months, and his own family has expressed concern about his wellbeing after he was cut by the Browns this year after two underwhelming seasons. Hinton’s text said the Gas Pipe receipt was sent to him by an attorney who is involved in a federal case accusing two people affiliated with the chain of making and selling synthetic marijuana. Manziel’s spokeswoman, Denise Michaels, called the purchase “a rumor” in a statement to the AP. “We don’t know for sure whether the receipt does or doesn’t represent a purchase he made since there are always unfounded stories flying around, but we all make it a policy to keep each other up to date on them,” she said. Hinton also wrote that he had met Wednesday morning with Jerry Varney, an administrative chief in the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office. “He is very interested in working with us to arrive at some agreement” in the case, he wrote. A spokeswoman for the DA’s office did not comment. Dallas police said Manziel reported that his car had been struck Monday night in a hit-and-run, but Hinton said in the text that there was “conflict as to whether Johnny reported it or not.” Manziel was not seriously injured. It’s unclear how close Manziel’s domestic violence case is to being resolved. Similar cases usually result in deferred adjudication probation, meaning the charges are dismissed after one to two years, said David Finn, a Dallas attorney and former judge who is not associated with the Manziel case. Finn said drug-testing conditions depend on whether the defendant has shown a pattern of substance abuse. The defendant is normally required to enroll in anger management classes and a domestic violence program, an outcome similar to that of Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant when he faced a misdemeanor charge in 2012 over an incident in which he allegedly struck his mother with a hat. Manziel’s rise and fall has long been punctuated with headlines for his off-field partying. The Browns selected the player dubbed “Johnny Football” in 2014, but he struggled on the field and was dropped this year. Since the 2015 season ended, two agents have cut ties with Manziel after demanding a second trip to rehab. He also faces potential punishment from the NFL under tougher standards regarding domestic violence cases adopted in 2014 following the Rice case. The allegations stem from a night out on Jan. 30. Crowley alleged Manziel accosted her at a Dallas hotel, a confrontation that continued downstairs to the valet station. She said he forced her into a car and that a valet disregarded her pleas for help. The two eventually drove to where her car was parked in front of a Dallas bar, she said in an affidavit. She said Manziel got into the driver’s seat and began to drive. Crowley said Manziel stopped when she tried to jump out of the car, but that he then dragged her back inside and hit her. 60665074 �CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Money To Lend RE: PLANNING COMMISSION AND ZONING APPEALS MEETING The Gallipolis Planning Commission and the Zoning Appeals Boards will hold a meeting on Tuesday, June 26, 2016 at 5:00 PM at the Gallipolis Municipal Building meeting room at 333 Third Avenue.

Harminists preforming at the 2015 championship. Harmony abounds at the Meigs Heritage Festival By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY — Harmonica enthusiasts will be delighted with the announcement that once again, the Ohio State Harmonica Championship will be in Meigs County during the Meigs Heritage Festival on July 16 at Eastern Local High School. This is the only state contest in the tri-state area, and participants travel from across Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia to compete. The Chester Shade Historical Association sponsors the Harmonica Championship during their festival to raise awareness about the harmonica’s history, and to preserve and educate future generations about this age-old instrument. The harmonica first appeared in Vienna, Austria, sometime before 1824 and was called a French harp. The harmonica went through several modifications in the early days, and was available for purchase at the Exhibition in Braunschweig in 1824. Several men purchased the instrument and set about making copies. By 1827, hundreds had been produced, and the trend continued as the market for the harmonicas expanded. By 1855, there were at least three harmonica-making businesses in Europe. In 1857, Matthias Hohner, a European clockmaker, started making harmonicas and eventually became the first to mass-produce them. Before Hohner began his manufacturing enterprise, he shipped some to relatives who had emigrated to the United States. Its music rapidly became popular, and the U.S. became a huge market for Hohner’s goods,and by 1868, he began supplying the U. S. The harmonica’s versatility, size and price made it highly prized among American musicians. It has made it’s way into all types of music, from blues and folk to classical, and has gone through many changes and modifications since its beginnings in Europe. The group of players who will be performing during the show and championship represent an array of musical genera, and each year brings even more skilled harminists to the event. Along with the championship, they day’s events include a classic car show, coin show, children’s games, raffles, door prizes and food. All proceeds go to benefit the Chester Courthouse and Academy, located at 46454 St. Rt. 24 in Chester.
