Michael Johnson | Sunday Times-Sentinel

A rather rough thunderstorm rolled through Gallipolis at about 3 p.m. Friday, producing dangerous lightning (as shown left of the French Settler statue on First Avenue
overlooking the Public Use Area in downtown Gallipolis. The storm dropped plenty of rain and produced a daytime light show, as well as temporary flooded some
downtown streets until the city’s storm drains could catch up with the sudden torrent.

Submitted

The members of the Meigs County Board of Elections personally
took a letter to the Meigs County Commissioners office on
Thursday after its decision. In the letter, the board stated the
proposed charter does not meet the threshold requirements
of Ohio Revised Code 302.02 because it seeks to create an
alternative form of government without the requirement of having
an elected or appointed county executive.

The 2016 charter initiative is similar to the one
presented in 2015, but
will include a bill of rights
for each county and an
outright ban on injection
wells within each county.
According to a news
release from the Meigs
County Home Rule Committee, there are currently 11 injection wells
in Meigs County and an

application for a permit
has been ﬁled to establish
another on Route 248
between Chester and
Bashan Road.
The release also states
that local, state and federal planning is under way
to build a receiving dock
in Portland and to use
the Ohio River to barge
fracking wastewater for
disposal in the region.

The Meigs group
claims that, according
to the state Constitution, the proposed
county charter is the
only option voters in
Meigs have to protect
their water from the
threat of injection well
waste contamination.
“Placing this charter
initiative on the ballot
and before the voters
this November will
ﬁnally give the residents of Meigs County
a voice as to whether
or not we want this
continued contamination and threat to our
water supplies,” the
news release states.
On July 8, the Board
of Elections met to
review the new county
charter initiative petition submitted by the
Meigs County Home
Rule Committee. Due
to a deﬁciency in
signatures, the board
ruled the petition

OUR VIEW

Dem convention
must stir, renew
interest in Clinton
For Democrats, the upcoming convention in
Philadelphia offers a chance to do what Hillary
Clinton’s campaign so far has struggled to do.
Build excitement.
The former secretary of state, 68, enters the
“City of Brotherly Love” this week with the
necessary number of delegates to become the
Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, but she
hasn’t induced much in the way of voter passion.
The candidate cannot reasonably expect to win
the White House on wishy-washy, she’s-not-so-bad
support.
To propel Clinton into the Oval Ofﬁce, the party
apparatus must ﬁrst appease and engage the backers of primary opponent Bernie Sanders. Their
zeal for policy change has been apparent and effective, and it can be infectious.
The second and arguably more difﬁcult task
involves assuring anxious Americans who are itching for solutions to our big problems that a vote
for the Democrat won’t be a vote for the same-old,
same-old. The trick: Show the familiar Clinton –
and equally familiar party planks – as something
fresh.
This doesn’t mean whisking the former ﬁrst
lady onto the Wells Fargo Center’s stage atop a
hoverboard. (And spare us any references from the
podium about “Pokemon, Go.”)
Instead, respond directly to House Speaker Paul
Ryan’s zinger last week, in which he said the Democratic Party establishment is “offering a third
Obama term brought to you by another Clinton.”
Tell America’s undecided voters how the Democratic Party intends to adapt its policies to handle
emerging threats at home and abroad. Explain
how the party platform, as carried out by a Hillary Clinton administration, would energize the
economy, soothe and improve race relations, and
reform a government system too easily warped by
special interests.
Don’t spout platitudes. Show Americans a plan.
Clinton’s staunchest supporters include people
who want to see her smash the uppermost glass
ceiling in the United States by becoming the ﬁrst
woman to be elected president. But other Americans of voting age have remained cool to Clinton;
they include many millennials and other fencesitters whose decisions ultimately will determine
the victor in November’s election.
Polling indicates she remains a front-runner
with unusually low favorability ratings.
Fortunately for Clinton, her election foe
is Donald Trump. The real estate magnate’s
favorability numbers, as measured well before the

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY …
Today is Sunday, July
24, the 206th day of
2016. There are 160
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On July 24, 1866,
Tennessee became the
ﬁrst state to be readmitted to the Union after
the Civil War.

THOUGHT
FOR TODAY
“It is easier to do a job
right than to explain
why you didn’t.” —
Attributed to President
Martin Van Buren
(1782-1862).

On this date:
In 1783, Latin American revolutionary Simon
Bolivar (see-MOHN’ boh-LEE’-vahr) was born in
Caracas, Venezuela.
In 1862, Martin Van Buren, the eighth president
of the United States, and the ﬁrst to have been
born a U.S. citizen, died at age 79 in Kinderhook,
New York, the town where he was born in 1782.
In 1915, the SS Eastland, a passenger ship carrying more than 2,500 people, rolled onto its side
while docked at the Clark Street Bridge on the
Chicago River; an estimated 844 people died in
the disaster.
In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges
against four of the nine young black men accused
of raping two white women in the “Scottsboro
Case.”
In 1959, during a visit to Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon engaged in his famous “Kitchen Debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of
whom had been the ﬁrst men to set foot on the
moon — splashed down safely in the Paciﬁc.
In 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously
ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn

was in full view nearly
2000 years ago, yet along thinking of the word

“good.” What happened?
Luke 10:30-35 says,
“And Jesus answering
said, A certain man went
down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among
thieves, which stripped
him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and
departed, leaving him
half dead. And by chance
there came down a certain priest that way: and
when he saw him, he
passed by on the other
side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the
place, came and looked
on him, and passed by
on the other side. But a
certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where
he was: and when he saw
him, he had compassion
on him, And went to
him, and bound up his
wounds, pouring in oil
and wine, and set him
on his own beast, and
brought him to an inn,
and took care of him.
And on the morrow
when he departed, he
took out two pence, and
gave them to the host,
and said unto him, Take
care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more,
when I come again, I will
repay thee.”
When one Samaritan
put hatred aside, pushed
past racial barriers to

help another in need,
carried him to safety, and
paid the bill, the reputation of an entire race of
people changed forever.
It did what shouting and
shooting and hating and
cursing and complaining
and insulting could never
have done.
Whites need to make
themselves Samaritans

to make themselves
Samaritans to whites.
We need to follow the
example of the Christ
who gave this account;
for he himself shortly
thereafter laid down his
life for us all.
Pick up the tab for a
black family at a restaurant. Go down to the
precinct and tell a white
ofﬁcer you are praying
for him. Visit people of
other races when they
are hurting, discouraged,
or scared. There are a
million possibilities, endless opportunities, make
“Samaritan” a lifestyle,
not just a temporary
salve.

County
talks wrecker
service policy
By Beth Sergent
bsergent@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The county’s
policy on calling out wrecker services was discussed at this week’s meeting of the Mason
County Commission.
Representatives from Wally’s Wrecker Service
in the Leon area, told Commissioners Tracy
Doolittle, Miles Epling and Rick Handley, that in
a month and a half, the service had received no
calls from Mason County 911 in terms of utilizing towing services.
Chuck Blake, director of Mason County Emergency Medical Services, said the current policy in
regard to wrecker services is to allow the motorist involved in an accident to indicate which
wrecker service they desire or if that motorist
is incapacitated, whomever is in charge on the
scene can make the call to 911 dispatchers. This
could be either law enforcement or a ﬁre chief,
Blake said.
Blake said the policy was reviewed by a committee and approved by the commission but
could be revisited, saying additional wrecker
services have been added in the county since
the policy was last revised. Representatives from
Wally’s Wrecker Service said they were operated
and owned by Mason County residents.
Commissioners agreed to revisit the policy
with a possible rotation of these wrecker services
being instituted in the protocol. Commissioners
will meet on the issue at 1 p.m., Aug. 1 in the
commission room.
County Administrator John Gerlach reported
the county has been approved for a Court Security Fund grant in the amount of $35,534 to
enhance the county’s court security. Gerlach said
this will include updating cameras and duress
buttons.
Commissioners approved the resignation of
Phyllis Arthur from the Mason County Ambulance Authority due to medical conditions.
Commissioners were asked to renew a two-year
lease with Peoples Bank for space in the court
house parking lot for the business’ sign. The
lease is from July 1 - June 30, 2018 for $600 per
year. Commissioners indicated that lease price
would likely raise in the future.
Commissioners were presented with a list
of old road names which were re-named in the
1990’s by Mason County 911 for the purpose
of easier identiﬁcation in emergency situations.
This cross reference, found in the assessor’s
ofﬁce, is hoped to alleviate confusion when it
comes to the sale of property in the county and
the requirements of lending institutions to have
veriﬁcation that a road’s name was changed.
This will assist local Realtors in closing deals
without delay. County Clerk Diana Cromley said
she would need to go back through the commission minutes to ﬁnd when these name changes
were adopted and then have the list notarized,
approved and placed in her ofﬁce as a recordable
document.
Commissioners approved the hiring of Scott
Donley for a part-time position with Mason
County 911.
Commissioners spoke about approving the ballot language for the EMS operating levy for the
fall ballot. The language will be discussed and
likely approved during the regular commission
meeting at 4 p.m. Aug. 4. Commissioners said
EMS will be distributing informational material throughout the county explaining how this
operating levy would affect taxpayers, by creating
breakdowns of assessed valuation of property and
frequently asked questions.

In the longer term, the Democratic Party’s leaders must decide
how to pivot to remain relevant. In
2016, Americans in large numbers
are signaling dissatisfaction with
the establishment. They want a
responsive government. They crave

The party that traditionally has

promised progress will need to
deliver. It’ll need to be more nimble, changing more rapidly to suit
an internet-weaned generation’s
satisfaction.
By updating its internal rules
and external priorities to meet
society’s new expectations, the
Democratic Party can stir people
to take a closer look and reconsider
their perceptions. And much like

Corn
From page 1A

Gallia GOP Chairwoman Anita
Moore. “We encourage everyone to come out to give people
a chance to get to know their
Republican ofﬁceholders and
running candidates.”
Gallia Republicans have previously described the corn roast
“like a fall season rally.” The
Lincoln Day Dinner typically
starts off the political season
for the GOP and the roast has
been said to be a run-up to the
ﬁling deadline for petitions or
if candidates will be announced
before ﬁling deadlines like last
year’s August deadline. This
year the fate of several local and
state major local ofﬁces will be
decided in the November election. Candidates are competing
for a shot at Gallia County prosecutor, treasurer, sheriff, court
of common pleas judge and Gallia commissioner.
Pelanada will serve as the
event’s keynote speaker. She is
currently serving her second
term as a member of the Ohio
House of Representatives and
serves during the 129th General Assembly. She is a graduate of Marysville High School,
as well as Miami University
and the University of Akron
School of Law. She has accumulated more than 30 years of law
practice on civil, criminal and
domestic relations law.
While serving in state Legislature, Pelanada has focused on
reviewing senior and juvenile
care laws and making headway
against Ohio’s heroin problems.
According to her campaign,
she has sponsored bills tackling
medical practice issues and
elections systems.
Pelanada currently serves on
the committees for house commerce and labor, government
accountability and oversight,
judiciary and rules and reference.
Pelanada is married to Sam
Gerhardstein, who serves as the
governmental affairs director
for Columbia Gas of Ohio.

Griffey Jr, Piazza
set to enter HOF
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.
(AP) — When they were
drafted nearly three decades
ago, one was on everybody’s
baseball radar, the other a
blip at best, picked almost
as an afterthought in the
ﬁnal round thanks to a recommendation by an important family friend.
That their baseball paths
started so differently — the
Seattle Mariners made Ken
Griffey Jr. the ﬁrst pick of
the 1987 amateur draft and
a year later the Dodgers
selected Mike Piazza on
the 62nd round with the
1,390th pick, ahead of only
ﬁve other players — in the
end didn’t matter one bit.
Two players who wore their
hats backward a lot — one
for fun, the other because he
had to — and left indelible
imprints on the game will
be rewarded Sunday with
induction into the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
“It’s incredibly powerful,” said Piazza, by far the
lowest draft pick in history
elected to the Hall. “This
whole year for me has been
so euphoric. It’s such an
honor.”
Dubbed “The Natural” for
his effortless excellence at
the plate and in center ﬁeld,
Griffey, the ﬁrst No. 1 pick
to be selected for enshrinement, hasn’t followed
form since his selection in
January. He’s been feted in
Seattle, which likely still has
a major league team because
of his tenure there, served
as honorary starter for NASCAR’s biggest race, the Daytona 500, and played a lot
of golf to avoid thinking or
talking about his induction.
When he visited Cooperstown in late May for
a mini-orientation, Griffey
chose not to take the customary introductory tour
of the Hall that’s become
sort of a tradition in recent
years. He did attend a series
of brief meetings with Hall
of Fame staff at a separate
location in the village and
said he wanted his ﬁrst walk
through the front doors of
the stately building on Main
Street to be with his kids.
“I wanted to share the
moment with them,” Griffey
said. “It was important for
me to be able to do it with
them and not just by myself.
I just felt that I wanted to
be a member of the Hall of
Fame to walk in there.”
Induction day promises to
be an extremely emotional
moment for Griffey because
his mom, Birdie, and father,
former Cincinnati Reds star
Ken Sr., both cancer survivors and integral to his rise
to stardom, also will be part
of the celebration.
Griffey played 22 bigleague seasons with the
Mariners, Reds and White
Sox and was named on a
record 99.32 percent of
ballots cast, an afﬁrmation
of sorts for his squeakyclean performance during
baseball’s Steroids Era. A
13-time All-Star and 10-time
Gold Glove Award winner,
Griffey hit 630 home runs,
sixth all-time, and drove in
1,836 runs.
Griffey also was named
American League MVP in
1997, drove in at least 100
runs in eight seasons, and
won seven Silver Slugger
Awards. In the 1995 ALDS,
he became just the second
player in major league history to hit ﬁve home runs in
a single postseason series
(Reggie Jackson of the
Yankees in the 1977 World
Series is the other).
Like Yankees great Mickey
Mantle before him, fans are
left to wonder what more

Griffey might have accomplished had his health not
become a hindrance. From
2001-04 he averaged fewer
than 80 games played per
year while suffering through
hamstring tears, knee problems, a dislocated shoulder,
and ankle tendon ruptures.
Healthy again in 2005,
Junior slugged 35 home
runs and captured the NL
Comeback Player of the Year
Award. Two years later, he
had his last standout season
— 144 games, 30 homers,
93 RBIs — and earned his
ﬁnal All-Star Game selection. He ﬁnished his career
with the White Sox and
Mariners before retiring
early in the 2010 season.
For Piazza, selection to
the Hall is validation of an
awful lot of hard work.
Taken in the draft after
Hall of Fame manager
Tommy Lasorda, a close
friend of Piazza’s father,
put in a good word, Piazza
struggled. He brieﬂy quit
the game while in the minor
leagues, returned and persevered despite a heavy
workload as he switched
from ﬁrst base to catcher
and teammates criticized his
erratic play.
“When I ﬁrst signed with
the Dodgers, I knew it was
going to be a very difﬁcult
path,” Piazza said. “At the
time I wasn’t having any
fun and decided to quit the
game. I was just fortunate
that I had great coaches and
people looking out for me
to encourage me to go back.
You don’t make it to the Hall
of Fame alone, you have a
lot of people looking out for
you along the way.”
And then it all clicked
almost suddenly for Piazza,
hitting 52 home runs in the
minors before getting called
up by the Dodgers in September 1992. He was there
to stay after going 3 for 3
in his debut and was named
National League Rookie of
the Year the following season after hitting .318 with
35 homers and 112 RBIs.
Piazza played 16 years
with the Dodgers, Marlins,
Mets, Padres and Athletics
and hit 427 career home
runs, including a major
league record 396 as a
catcher. A 12-time AllStar, Piazza won 10
Silver Slugger Awards
and ﬁnished in the top
ﬁve in MVP voting four
times. Perhaps even more
impressive, Piazza, a .308
career hitter, posted six
seasons with at least 30
home runs, 100 RBIs and
a .300 batting average. All
other catchers in baseball
history combined have
posted nine such seasons.
Though the Dodgers gave
him his start, Piazza found
a home in New York when
he was traded to the Mets
in May 1998. He became a
bona ﬁde hero to the hometown fans with his walk-off
homer in the ﬁrst game at
Shea Stadium after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11,
2001.
“The New York market
was a difﬁcult transition
for me,” Piazza said. “But I
knew that there was a reason I was there, and I knew
there was a reason I had to
see it through.”

A longtime supporter of youth

After conducting a thorough

also receiving funds through

a move to the Tri-State Youth

the exact opposite of what has
been the norm over the years —
with ﬁve different age groups

Kentucky and West Virginia.
And, instead of splitting up
the local kids to face one another, Gallipolis will be able to keep
all of its players on one team
while battling another area’s
best talent.

“We did quite a bit of research
on this league over the past year

Gallipolis and to the future of
our high school football program,” said Buddy Moore, who

Browns, Robert Griffin III getting fresh start
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Following his unceremonious exit
from Washington, Robert Grifﬁn III left behind a note in his
locker that encouraged forgiveness and a positive attitude.
In Cleveland, he’s seeking
redemption.
Benched and booted by the
Redskins, Grifﬁn has a fresh
start with the Browns, who are
hoping a player who ﬂashed
great promise and potential
just a few years ago can ﬁnd it
again.
Unable to change his past,
RG3’s eyes are ﬁxated ahead.
“I’m moving forward,” he
said.
Grifﬁn’s comeback will be the
main story line during training camp for the Browns, who
underwent yet another monumental overhaul during the
offseason and have placed one
of the NFL’s worst teams in the
hands of coach Hue Jackson.
With a history for mentoring
and reﬁning young quarterbacks, Jackson appears to be
the perfect person to resurrect
Grifﬁn, a former rookie of the
year slowed by injuries who
didn’t take a single snap during
the 2015 regular season.
The Browns, with a laughable track record for developing
quarterbacks, signed Grifﬁn to
a two-year, $15 million contract
in March. Although Jackson
hasn’t formally selected Grifﬁn
as his starter, the 26-year-old
is expected to line up behind
center when Cleveland opens
the season on Sept. 11 at Philadelphia.
Before then, Grifﬁn needs to
knock off the rest of the rust
that was apparent during the
team’s spring minicamps. Grifﬁn’s explosiveness and mobility
seems to have returned following two knee surgeries, but his
throws were off target and he
lacked touch on deep passes. In
time, those components of his
game should improve.
Grifﬁn, too, may have to
work on his off-ﬁeld game. His
fall in Washington was accentuated by a rift with some teammates, who resented the 2011
Heisman Trophy winner and
failed to have his back when
things began to crumble.

enough to satisfy fans. The
Browns are under pressure to
release Crowell, their leading
rusher last season.
HUE TURN: With boundless
energy, Jackson is determined
to make the Browns not only
competitive but champions.
His second stint as a head
coach — he led Oakland to
an 8-8 record in 2011 — is
a monumental challenge as
Cincinnati’s former offensive
coordinator leads a franchise
stuck in a cycle of losing and
dysfunction.
HEALING HADEN: Former Pro Bowl cornerback Joe
Haden will likely be eased into
camp as he continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery.
Haden was limited to just ﬁve
games last season because
of concussions and his NFL
career could be at a crossroads.
Cleveland’s defensive backﬁeld
has been overhauled with a mix
of veterans and rookies ﬁghting
for jobs. Troubled cornerback
Justin Gilbert may be down to
his last chance after two underwhelming seasons.
LINE DANCING: Cleveland’s
offensive line, once considered
the team’s strongest unit and
anchored by Joe Thomas,
has a new look following the
departures of Pro Bowl center
Alex Mack and starting right
tackle Mitchell Schwartz. Cam

Steelers enter training camp with usual lofty expectations
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Antonio Brown spent a signiﬁcant portion of his offseason
sashaying his way into living
rooms across the country during a lengthy run on “Dancing
With The Stars.”
It was a welcome distraction
for the Pittsburgh Steelers AllPro wide receiver, but make
no mistake. The way Brown’s
2015 season ended — out of
the lineup while dealing with a
concussion as the Steelers let
a fourth-quarter lead slip away
in the division round against
Denver — still stings.
“Any time you ﬁnish the year
and leave something incomplete, it stays on your mind,”
Brown said.
Brown and his teammates
have tried to avoid the “whatif” game, though it hasn’t been
easy. Even short-handed they
gave the eventual Super Bowl
champion Broncos all they
could handle before fading in
the ﬁnal minutes.
Rather than pout, however,
they have spent the past few
months funneling that frustration into their preparation for

2016. The process begins anew
when Pittsburgh reports for
its 51st training camp at St.
Vincent College in Latrobe on
July 28.
“It’s one of those things
where if you’re not trying to get
better, you’re going to get beat
and you’re going to get worse,”
guard David DeCastro said.
“So, you always have to keep
pushing the envelope.”
The Steelers return the
league’s third-ranked offense,
heady territory considering
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
and running back Le’Veon
Bell both missed signiﬁcant
time because of injuries. The
defense gave up plenty of yards
but also produced 30 turnovers,
the kind of splash plays coach
Mike Tomlin covets.
The past three years have
seen Pittsburgh take steady
steps back toward the NFL
elite, from a .500 mark in 2013
to a wild-card round loss in
2014 to a spot in the division
round last winter. There is
momentum to be sure, but also
plenty to work on ahead of
the Sept. 12 season opener at

Washington.
Here are some things to
know about the Steelers going
into camp:
MISSING MARTAVIS: Talented but erratic wide receiver
Martavis Bryant will miss 2016
while serving a suspension for
violating the NFL’s substance
abuse policy, taking his 14
touchdowns with him.
“You can’t really replace a
guy like that with the tools that
he has, his understanding, and
his physical attributes,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s hard to replicate that. The other guys have
to step up and do it. And stay
healthy.”
Finding a reliable third
option behind Brown and
Markus Wheaton will come
down to veteran Darius Heyward-Bey and second-year player Sammie Coates. Both made
signiﬁcant plays in the playoff
loss to Denver, though more
will be expected with increased
playing time.
SPEED TO BURN(S):
Artie Burns became the ﬁrst
cornerback taken by the
Steelers in the ﬁrst round of

the draft since 1997 when
they grabbed him out of
Miami with the 25th overall
pick. There’s a chance for
Burns to enter the starting
lineup immediately if he
stays healthy and picks up
defensive coordinator Keith
Butler’s system. Burns
proved to be a ravenous
learner during minicamp and
organized team activities,
welcoming the chance to go
one-on-one against Brown,
even if the matchup is pretty
one-sided, at least for now.
“He has a mentality that
he wants to be there and be
productive, and do things
that we want him to do,”
secondary coach Carnell Lake
said. “If he doesn’t get it,
he wants more reps added.
That’s a good sign.”
GOING GREEN: Tight end
Heath Miller retired in February in typically understated
fashion after 11 seasons as
Roethlisberger’s security blanket. Enter Ladarius Green,
signed as a free agent from
San Diego after spending four
seasons as an understudy to

Antonio Gates. The 6-foot6, 240-pound Green has an
explosiveness Miller lacked,
but was slowed a bit by offseason ankle surgery but is
expected to be ready when
camp starts.
“He’s like the brand new
Ferrari that I have that’s in
the impound lot, and we are
just looking through the fence
at it,” Roethlisberger said.
LE’VEON’S LEAP: When
healthy, Bell is one of the
most dynamic backs in the
league. Yet he’s seen each of
his past two seasons end with
knee injuries suffered against
the Bengals. The team has
yet to approach him about a
new contract as he enters the
ﬁnal year of his rookie deal.
Bell insists the uncertainty
about his future won’t be a
distraction. He just wants to
play.
“I feel like my luck probably,
hopefully, should change this
year and I’ll be on the ﬁeld,
nothing freaky,” Bell said. “Just
take care of my body, do the
little things right, and if I do
that I’ll be OK.”

Jeff Gordon readies for the Brickyard in surprising return

UNC gets 1-week
extension to respond
to 5 NCAA charges
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North
Carolina will wait another week before
responding to ﬁve NCAA charges.
The school issued a statement Friday
saying UNC and others involved in
the case had requested an extension
to Monday’s response deadline. The
statement said UNC will respond to the
NCAA’s Notice of Allegations (NOA)
on Aug. 1, then publicly release a copy
a day later after a review and possible
redactions to comply with privacy laws.
There is no new information in the
case nor has there been a change to the
NOA sent in April, UNC said in the
statement.
That document charged UNC with
lack of institutional control and four
other potentially top-level violations
tied to the school’s long-running academic fraud scandal. The school and
individuals charged had 90 days to
respond.
That timeline fell on a Sunday, so
the deadline was originally moved to
Monday.
The response is the latest procedural step in a case that began as an
offshoot of a 2010 NCAA probe into
the football program. From there, the
NCAA enforcement staff gets 60 days to
respond. That would eventually lead to
a hearing with an infractions committee
panel, with a ruling weeks to months
afterward — a timeline likely to carry
the case into 2017.
The case centers on independent
study-style courses requiring a research
paper or two while offering GPAboosting grades in the formerly named
African and Afro-American Studies
(AFAM) department. Many were misidentiﬁed as lecture courses that didn’t
meet.
A 2014 review by former U.S. Justice
Department ofﬁcial Kenneth Wainstein
estimated more than 3,100 students
were affected between 1993 and 2011,
with athletes across numerous sports
making up roughly half the enrollments.
It’s the second case delay since the
NCAA ﬁrst ﬁled charges last year. UNC
was near its August 2015 response
deadline when it reported additional
information for review, pausing the process for eight months until the arrival of
the new NOA.

Judge won’t kick DA
off case of ex-Saints
player’s death

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A judge
refused Friday to remove the New
Orleans district attorney and his
staff from the prosecution of a man
charged with second-degree murder
in the April shooting death of retired
Saints defensive end Will Smith.
John Fuller, an attorney for Cardell
Hayes, wanted District Attorney Leon
Cannizzaro off the case, saying he had
made baseless accusations, including
witness intimidation, against Fuller.
Hayes was arrested after Smith was
shot to death following an automobile
crash on April 9. Prosecutors say
Hayes provoked a confrontation by
ramming his SUV into one driven
by Smith — after Smith had earlier
bumped the rear of Hayes’ vehicle.
The defense has argued that Smith
was the aggressor and that Hayes
ﬁred in self-defense after Smith went
to his own car to get his gun.
Assistant District Attorney David
Pipes, arguing for Cannizzaro, said
Fuller failed to present any evidence
that warrants the removal. He said
removal would require proof that the
district attorney’s ofﬁce has personal
animosity toward the defendant,
Hayes, rather than Fuller.
State Judge Camille Buras rejected
Fuller’s motion, saying it was too
drastic. She set a trial date of Nov. 2.
The motion to remove Cannizzaro
was made last week following a story
in Nola.com/The Times-Picayune
on a 206-page report Cannizzaro
sent to local, state and federal law
enforcement agencies. In the report,
Cannizzaro alleges that Fuller
and others sought to intimidate
witnesses and jeopardized the safety
of witnesses in cases unrelated to
Smith’s death.
The report, which has not been
made public, also alleges that Fuller
is under federal investigation, the
newspaper reported. The local U.S.
attorney declined comment.
Hayes is also accused of attempted

Former NFL coach Dennis Green dies at 67
GLENDALE, Ariz.
(AP) — Dennis Green,
a trailblazing coach who
led a Minnesota Vikings
renaissance in the 1990s
before a less successful
run with the Arizona
Cardinals, has died. He
was 67.
Green’s family posted
a message on the Cardinals website on Friday
announcing the death.
“His family was by his
side and he fought hard,”
the statement read.
Other details were not
immediately disclosed,
though the Cardinals
said Green had died of a
heart attack.
Green spent 10 seasons in Minnesota, leading the Vikings to eight
playoff appearances and
two NFC championship
games. He only had one
losing season and compiled an overall record of
97-62, including a 15-1
regular season in 1998
spearheaded by a recordsetting offense.

Green went out on a
limb in the draft before
that season, plucking
Randy Moss at pick No.
21 after the super-talented receiver fell due to
character concerns. Moss
was a sensation from
the start, teaming with
Cris Carter, Jake Reed,
quarterback Randall Cunningham and running
back Robert Smith to
give the Vikings the most
dynamic and explosive
offense the league had
ever seen.
But the Vikings were
upset at home by the
Atlanta Falcons that
season and also were
embarrassed by the New
York Giants 41-0 in their
other trip to the NFC
title game after the 2000
season.
Green went 4-8 in the
postseason, one of the
reasons he was ﬁred by
Minnesota late in the
2001 season.
“Denny made his mark
in ways far beyond being

an outstanding football
coach,” the Vikings said.
“He mentored countless
players and served as
a father ﬁgure for the
men he coached. Denny
founded the Vikings
Community Tuesday Program, a critical initiative
that is now implemented
across the entire NFL.
He took great pride in
helping assistant coaches
advance their careers.
His tenure as one of the
ﬁrst African American
head coaches in both
college and the NFL was
also transformative. Our
thoughts and prayers are
with the entire Green
family.”
Green did some television work and interviewed with several
teams before being hired
by the Cardinals in 2004.
The Cardinals gave him
a four-year, $10 million
contract to turn around
a woebegone franchise,
but he was ﬁred after a
three-year run.

Green made several
moves that seemed to
backﬁre, beginning with
the abrupt release of
offensive lineman Pete
Kendall on the eve of his
ﬁrst training camp. In
his ﬁrst season, Green
benched quarterback
Josh McCown for Shaun
King even though the
team had won three of
its last four. By the time
McCown got the job
back, the Cardinals had
lost three straight.
In his ﬁnal season,
the Cardinals won their
opener and then lost
eight in a row to quickly
fall out of the playoff
hunt. The skid included
close home losses to St.
Louis, Kansas City and,
most memorably on a
Monday night, to Chicago. The Bears rallied
from 20 down, returning
two late fumbles and a
punt for touchdowns,
and that all led to one
of the more memorable
postgame rants by an

NFL coach.
Green pounded the
podium and yelled
“The Bears are who we
thought they were!”
afterward, a line that
would be replayed endlessly over the years.
Green was ﬁred after
the season, one day after
the Cardinals concluded
a 5-11 run with a 27-20
loss at San Diego. He ﬁnished with a 16-32 record
at Arizona, none of his
teams winning more than
six games in his three
seasons.
Green was also a head
coach in college at Northwestern and Stanford
and served as an assistant to Bill Walsh on the
dominant 49ers teams of
the 1980s.
Born Feb. 17, 1949, in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Green once said he
was struck by watching
early Big Ten football
games and seeing both
Minnesota and Iowa putting together successful

seasons behind black
quarterbacks. Green
enrolled at Iowa, too, and
played running back for
the Hawkeyes from 196870. He played for the BC
Lions in Canada in 1971
before returning to coach
in college, beginning at
Dayton in 1973 and gradually climbing to bigger
programs.
“All of us at the Cardinals are incredibly
saddened by the news
of Dennis Green’s passing,” Cardinals President
Michael Bidwell said.
“Coach Green will rightly
be remembered as a true
innovator, leader and
pioneer among football
coaches,” Bidwill said in
a statement posted by
a team spokesman. “We
express our deepest sympathy to his family and
his many friends.”
The family asked that
in lieu of ﬂowers, contributions be made to the
Boys and Girls Club of
San Diego.

Determined Ravens ready to go camping after 5-11 season
OWINGS MILLS, Md.
(AP) — The Baltimore
Ravens had a convenient
excuse for their disappointing 5-11 record in
2015.
Baltimore placed 20
players on injured reserve
while stumbling through
its worst season in eight
years under John Harbaugh. The wounded
included quarterback Joe
Flacco, running back Justin Forsett, wide receiver
Steve Smith and linebacker Terrell Suggs.
Flacco and Forsett are
expected to be in uniform next week for the
ﬁrst full-squad training
camp workout. Smith
and Suggs are coming off
injuries to their Achilles tendons and hope to
be ready for the season
opener on Sept. 11
against Rex Ryan and the
Buffalo Bills.
Harbaugh liked what
he saw in minicamp, but

knows the true identity of
his team will be revealed
once the pads come on.
“We found out we have
a lot of smart young players that can learn really
quickly, and that’s a good
thing to know,” he said.
“We will take the next
step in training camp.”
The Ravens are in
bounce-back mode, which
should create some interesting duels for starting
roles and roster spots.
“There is a sense of
urgency, because there
really is no way of knowing right now who is
going to be on the ﬁnal
roster of offensive players,” said Marc Trestman,
entering his second season as Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator.
Flacco will take it easy
this summer in his return
from knee surgery. He
will have a variety of new
targets to choose from,
including free agent addi-

tions Mike Wallace and
Benjamin Watson.
“It’s big time to have
them,” Flacco said. “I
can’t wait to get out there
with them.”
Some things to know
about the Ravens as they
enter training camp:
HOLD OFF ON THAT
GOLD WATCH: Smith
intended to retire following the 2015 season, but
his devastating injury in
Week 8 caused him to do
an about-face.
He needs 39 receptions to reach 1,000 for
his career, and that was a
factor in his decision to
return.
“I may catch that in my
uniform, get in my car
and go home,” he said
with a wry grin during
minicamp.
Smith didn’t show his
age last year, catching 46
passes for 670 yards and
three TDs. Now he’s back
for more.

“I think the last challenge that I really have is
to be 37 years old, have
an opportunity to play
in the black and blue
division (AFC North) —
very tough, very physical
— and I get an opportunity to experience it for
hopefully more than 17
weeks,” he said.
SAFETY FIRST: The
addition of free agent
safety Eric Weddle, the
repositioning of Lardarius
Webb and the return of
injured Matt Elam greatly
enhances the back end of
the Baltimore defense.
Weddle comes to the
Ravens after a solid
run with San Diego. He
brings sure tackling,
ball-hawking ability and
leadership. Webb moves
from cornerback to free
safety, and Elam hopes to
rebound after missing the
entire 2015 season with a
torn biceps.
“I really think that Eric

has added a lot to us,
and that’s a great spot for
Webbie,” defensive coordinator Dean Pees said.
“And Matt Elam has had
a great minicamp.”
GETTING THEIR
KICKS: By signing Justin Tucker to a four-year
contract, the Ravens kept
intact one of the ﬁnest
kicking games in the
NFL.
Tucker’s 87.8 percent
ﬁeld goal accuracy ranks
second in league history,
punter Sam Koch made
the Pro Bowl last year,
and long snapper Morgan
Cox has been nearly ﬂawless since signing as a
rookie free agent in 2010.
REYNOLDS WRAP:
Former Navy quarterback
Keenan Reynolds has
received more scrutiny
and acclaim than any
sixth-round draft pick in
Ravens history.
Reynolds set an NCAA
FBS record for career

touchdowns with the
Midshipmen, but with
Baltimore he’s trying to
make the team as a kick
returner and backup
receiver.
“He’s a natural athlete.
He has natural hands,
which is a big plus,” Harbaugh said. “He’s a guy
that has a lot of work to
do, but he has the ability
to pull it off.”
TOP PICK: The Ravens
used the sixth overall pick
to take offensive tackle
Ronnie Stanley out of
Notre Dame, and they
don’t intend to wait for
him to mature.
Baltimore cut left tackle Eugene Monroe during
minicamp. Stanley has
been told that the role is
his if he can immediately
make the transition from
college to pros.
“It’s going to be up to
him to earn the job, win
the job and be ready to
go,” Harbaugh said.

Mauk starts over at Eastern Kentucky after Missouri turmoil
dent.
“I put myself in a situation that night and kind
of acted like I did it,”
Mauk said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It was one of
those situations I wish
I could’ve taken myself
out of, but I had to learn
from it and haven’t been
around anything like
that for years now.”
Mauk said the ﬁrst
suspension came while
he was dealing with his
father Mike’s cancer
surgery last fall. He
acknowledged doing
things that merited
disciplinary actions
and said other behavior
“snowballed” into more
suspensions.
As much as Mauk
hurt for his father, Mike
Mauk said he ached
even more not being
able to be there for his
son during his ordeals.
“Maty’s struggle was
worse for me because
he’s my son and I know
he wasn’t the man he

was portrayed to be,”
said the elder Mauk,
who has recovered and
looks forward to coaching high school football
in Springﬁeld, Missouri.
But Mike Mauk also
believes Maty will beneﬁt from his setbacks.
“You go through
things to ﬁnd out who
you are and where you
look to for faith and
guidance,” Mike said.
“Those things determine
your character.”
First-year EKU head
coach Mark Elder had
a previous relationship with Mauk. He
recruited the Kenton,
Ohio, native heavily as a
University of Cincinnati
assistant. The relationship Elder developed
with Mauk during the
recruiting process leads
the coach to believe the
QB’s recent troubles
weren’t indicative of the
person he is and notes
that high-proﬁle college
athletes — and young
adults, for that matter

— make mistakes.
“I feel more than conﬁdent that (with) the
mistakes that Maty has
made, he is moving forward,” Elder said. “Maty
knows what my expectation levels are for him and
what he needs to do.”
The coach anticipates
Mauk, who went 17-5 as
a starter in the Southeastern Conference and
threw for 4,373 yards
and 42 touchdowns from
2013-15, to compete for
the starting QB position
with incumbent Bennie
Coney.
Mauk isn’t the ﬁrst
athlete to seek redemption at EKU.
Noah Spence, a standout defensive end at
Ohio State, transferred
to EKU last year with
a history of failed drug
tests that led to his ban
by the Big Ten Conference. Spence regrouped
at EKU to become the
Ohio Valley Conference’s
co-Defensive Player of
the Year last season and

down soon after to battle cancer as well, and
their 3-0 start dissolved
into a 5-7 ﬁnish and no
bowl game.
Mauk explored other
options after his dismissal before Elder
reached out to him this
spring with an opportunity he jumped on after
graduating from Missouri. His late arrival in
May has meant a crash
course of learning the
playbook and getting
to know his teammates,
but it all seems worth it
as the QB tries to show
the EKU community and
others that this Mauk
version is better and
smarter — on and off
the ﬁeld.
”I want them to see
that I’ve learned from
my mistakes,” Mauk
said. “I’ve matured and
I’m a hard-working guy
that’s going to do whatever it takes to win a
national championship
here and land in the
NFL.”

RICHMOND, Ky. (AP)
— Maty Mauk understands that secondguessing might accompany his second chance
at Eastern Kentucky.
But following a tumultuous junior season at
Missouri, the quarterback is looking forward
to a fresh start with the
Colonels. Mauk was
suspended three times
in four months before
being dismissed in January by new Tigers coach
Barry Odom after a
video surfaced on Twitter showing someone
snorting a powdery
white substance.
Mauk denied he was
the person snorting the
substance in the video,
which he said was made
“a couple of years ago.”
But Mauk acknowledged
making a bad choice by
being present when the
substance was being
snorted and is working to show he’s “living
a clean life” and has

Vikings cut the ribbon at new $1.1 billion football stadium
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
Minnesota Vikings tight end
Kyle Rudolph spent his ﬁrst
three seasons playing in the
Metrodome, a cramped, dingy
noise box that tested the
patience of fans and players
alike.
The home locker room only
had ﬁve bathroom stalls for 53
players and dozens of coaches
and support staff. So when he
walked around U.S. Bank Stadium, the Vikings’ new $1.1 billion stadium that is set to open
this season, he said comparing
the two was like “ground chuck
and ﬁlet mignon.”
The Vikings held a ribboncutting ceremony on Friday
to mark the ofﬁcial beginning
of life in their new home. The
celebration featured current
coach Mike Zimmer blowing
the gjallahorn — a huge horn
used in Viking lore — with
coaching legend Bud Grant by
his side and ﬁreworks after a
host of speakers praised the
new stadium.
With a cutting-edge design
that includes a translucent roof
to allow in the daylight, a wall
of glass with 100-foot doors
that open to let the autumn
breeze in and a locker room
that is twice the size of their
former home in the Metrodome, U.S. Bank Stadium has
thrust the franchise into the
21st century.
“The Metrodome as a player,
it’s an awesome environment,”
Rudolph said. “It’s loud, the
turf is fast, it’s a controlled
environment. But the amenities and the fan experience that
this place brings, it’s second to
none. Just look at all the things
that this place has. There’s

ultimate goal. And wouldn’t a
Lombardi look great here, or

Business leaders, designers
and architects, politicians and
fans all gathered on Friday for
the festivities. And a project
that was contested from
the very beginning received
universal praise, even from
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy
Hodges, who voted against
public funding for the project
when she was on the city
council.
Hodges fully acknowledged
her initial opposition on
Friday, but pointed to the
development in a once-run

parts of the area. It allows us to grow
together in a competitive environment.”
There will be ﬁve Blue Devil teams
from the Gallipolis area competing
in the TSYFL, with each team being
based on a speciﬁc age group.
The E team features the youngest
players between the ages of 6-7, while
the A team is the oldest group with
players aging 11-12 years old. The D, C
and B teams respectively cover the age
groups of 8-9, 9-10 and 11-12.
That quintet of Gallipolis squads
will play in the American Division of
the TSYFL, which also features teams
from the areas of Barboursville, Beverly Hills, Douglas Cammack, Fairland,
Hurricane, Tornado and Ona/Milton.
Each of the ﬁve Gallipolis teams will
play equal-aged teams from each of
those seven areas during the regular
season in a variation of home and away
contests.
What’s more, each team from each
community will automatically qualify
for the playoffs in their respective age
groups — with winners advancing
their way for a shot in the Turf Bowl,
which is held every year at Joan C.
Edwards Stadium on the campus of
Marshall University.
Cheerleading is also part of what’s
going on with the move to the TSYFL,
which has led to more than 50 young
ladies signing up to cheer on their
respective classmates.
But even more noteworthy, all of the
participants — male or female — are
participating free of charge.
Between grants, the support of the
Gallipolis Elks #107 and local foundation sponsors, all kids between the
ages of 6-12 are able to participate
without in any signup or uniform
costs. The league is also open to any
resident of Gallia County, not just the
city of Gallipolis.
Each football player is provide with a
uniform, helmet and equipment free of
charge, which allows anyone interested
to be able to participate — regardless
of that family’s economical situation.
The Gallipolis Elks Lodge #107 has
also recently purchased a school bus

converted into a road-safe vehicle for
player transportation. Moore also
noted that he hopes that the bus is
operational by this upcoming season.
The Blue Devils will play three of
their seven games during the regular
season at Memorial Field, with Tornado opening the home schedule at 1
p.m. Sunday, Sept. 4.
Gallipolis also hosts Hurricane on
Saturday, Sept. 10, and Fairland on
Saturday, Oct. 1 — with both days having games start at 10 a.m.
The younger team — the E squad
— will start the day’s lineup of games
and will go by age until the ﬁnal game
between the A squads from both areas.
All admission proceeds will go to
the Gallipolis Elks to help offset some
of the costs, while all concession
money raised during those three days
of home games will be donated to the

There are also around 20 coaches
participating with the ﬁve Gallipolis
teams, all of whom have been certiﬁed in concussion awareness while
also going through a heavy screening
process.
Though joining the TSYFL provides
a unique opportunity to compete with
other communities, Moore notes that
the experience of being together will
only beneﬁt Gallipolis in the long
haul.
“This is more than just about football. We want this to be more of a
thing that the community can get
involved in,” Moore said. “This is simply about kids having an opportunity
to play this game while also emphasizing the importance of teamwork.
“We are committed to trying this
because we think it has a lot of longterm beneﬁts for our future football
teams. It may not be the ﬁnal answer
for improving our youth football
program, but it certainly is a start
in a positive direction for us moving
forward.”
Moore says that there are around
85 kids participating between the ﬁve
Gallipolis teams, but that there is also
still time for that number to increase

if anyone is interested in playing. He
also noted that the older squads —
the 10-11 and 11-12 age groups — are
a little lower on numbers than the
younger teams.
If anyone is interested in being part
of Gallipolis Elks Football League this
fall, you should get in contact with
Buddy Moore at 740-441-7783 for
more information.
All participants must provide a copy

for participants in each of the age
levels.
Buffalo, Chesapeake, South Point,
Tolsia, Vinson, Wayne, Lawrence

participants in the TSYFL as members of the National Division.
Gallipolis opens the season with
consecutive Saturday road games
against Douglas Cammack (Aug. 20)
and Barboursville (Aug. 27), both of
which start at 10 a.m.
The Blue Devils also travel to Beverly Hills (Sept. 24) and Ona/Milton

As she slowly pumps a spinning wheel with her foot, the

Surveying land was a vital skill on the frontier. Overlapping land
claims made by multiple surveyors confused the courts and the
settlers for years. Even today, historians look back and try to
untangle the overlapping land claims using maps made by the
colonial surveyors.

“When I am demonstrating,
people are amazed at what

said. “I like to let the children

4-H Camp, Jackson.
The camp provides an
environment where
children ages 6 to 16 are
able to come together
with other individuals
who have experienced
a loss in their life. It
gives them a place
where they are free to
let their feelings out,
in a way that they want
to. The fun activities
that are held during
the camp generate
thoughts and enhance
discussion about what
they are feeling in a nonthreatening pattern.
One of the things about
grieving is ﬁnding new
meaning in life without
a loved one. Hospital
ofﬁcials said a camp
of this nature has been
beneﬁcial to the children
in the community.
The camp is provided
at no cost to the
participants and is fully
funded through grant
dollars and contributions
from local business and

community members.
Volunteers who help
facilitate the camp
and the activities/
supervision include
registered nurses, social
workers, chaplains,
counselors and adult/
teen volunteers.
According to national
statistics, childhood
bereavement is far more
common than many
realize. One in nine
children loses a parent,
friend, sibling or pet
before the age of 20.
The loss can also be
through divorce or other
circumstances.
For more information
about the camp, apply
for a child to attend,
or to volunteer for the
camp, call Hospice
at 740-446-5074 or
1-800-500-4850. If
anyone would like for
a representative to
come and speak to an
organization about the
camp, contact Holzer to
arrange a time.

MASON, W.Va. — A
new council member
was sworn into ofﬁce
at the latest meeting
of the Mason town
council.
Robert Wing will
take the seat of former
councilman Ray Varian, who resigned due
to health issues.
Wing served as a
council member during a prior administration and ran as a
write-in candidate in
last year’s election.
He will serve until
the next municipal
election, set for 2017,
and will join council
member Emily Henry
on the parks and recreation committee.
Updates on ongoing projects were
presented at the meeting. Town supervisor
Aaron Woolard said
the start of the water
project has been postponed from July 18 to
July 25. He added in
reality, it will probably
be August before work
begins. Mayor Donna
Dennis told council
members that the
project includes a mini
excavator and that she
hopes it can be purchased soon.
The council also
recently paid the ﬁrst
invoice to Stonegate
Construction, contractors for the water
project, for stored
materials.
The sewer project is
set to begin by the end
of the year. Included
in that project is a
line camera that will
enable workers to
ﬁnd the exact location of any problems
that arise in the sewer
lines, according to the
mayor.
Work is continuing
on the town’s Harvest
Festival, which has
been set for Oct. 8.
The rain date will be

office to new Mason council
member Robert Wing at a

the unexpired term of Ray
Varian, who resigned due to
health issues.

Oct. 15.
A car show will be
conducted by the New
Haven Road Angels
car club, and the ﬁre
department will be
selling hot dogs and
soup. More details will
be announced at future
meetings.
Council members
entered into executive
session to discuss a
new pay scale/pay raise
schedule for the police
department, which
was presented by Chief
Jimmy Reynolds at an
earlier meeting. Mayor
Dennis said the chief
wants to offer competitive wages in an effort
to keep qualiﬁed ofﬁcers in town. Following
the session, council
members tabled the
schedule until a later
meeting.
Also in a recent meeting, the town hired
Bruce Chapman as a
Class II wastewater
consultant at $400
per month. Chapman
replaces Johnnie Oldaker, who resigned from
the position on June 29.
Attending were
Mayor Dennis, Recorder Ciji Casto, and
council members Wing,
Becky Pearson, Marty
Yeager and Ron Heath.
Mindy Kearns is a freelance
writer for Ohio Valley Publishing
who lives in Mason County.

Marshall professor’s passion led him across country

Many Huntington
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. groups sacriﬁce their time
— Every April, hundreds and contribute in different

Presbyterian Church to
enjoy some soup, help the each year, and at Marshall
Facing Hunger Food Bank University, there’s one

There are some bowls

The 41-year-old gives

all credit to his stuperfect in shape, some

dents, who every year
go through the laborintensive process of
making bowl after bowl
after bowl. The process
includes making a clay
wedge, throwing the pieces on the wheel, drawing,
doing an initial ﬁring and
then decorating and glazing them and ﬁring them
again and sometimes
more. Marshall students
always contribute at least
1,000 bowls for Empty
Bowls event, often more,
Bartolovic said.
He likes that the Empty
Bowls project not only

helps the food bank but
also fosters a sense of
community among the
students themselves,
because different students
help with different aspects
of the project. After creating a bowl, a student
might pass it off to another to load it into the kiln,
for example.
For him, teaching
ceramics at Marshall has
been a perfect way to
combine his love of art
and working with others,
though it took him some
time to ﬁnd his way there.
A Wheeling native

who spent some of his
childhood in Florida
but mostly in New
Hampshire, Bartolovic
attended the University of
Arizona with initial plans
to major in photography.
Still, it was hard work,
and he grew a little
restless and decided to
go back to school, this
time attending the Rhode
Island School of Design
and earning a master’s
degree. After that, he
became a working studio
artist, living in downtown
Toronto and selling
sculptures professionally
for a couple of years.
He got hired by the
State University of New
York at Oswego, SUNY
Oswego, located near

Lake Ontario, and had
a great experience as
a visiting professor for
more than two years.
There, he realized how
great it was to be able to
both create art and help
students learn and solve
problems. From there, he
came to Marshall.
He’s enjoying life here
in Appalachia, teaching
at Marshall as well as
sharing a ceramics
business and a farm with
Michelle Strader. Their
business is Silver Run
Ceramics, found online at
www.silverrunceramics.
com, and their farm is in
Boyd County, Kentucky.
Bartolovic is thankful
for his journey and his
diverse background.
