Several cauldrons of the popular meal were being cooked at the annual event, and were available for sale to the thousands of visitors who flocked to the historic farm for the festival. RIO GRANDE — Families can look forward to one of the biggest events of the year in southeast Ohio as the 46th Bob Evans Farm Festival makes ready in Rio Grande. The Bob Evans Farm Festival, which takes place Oct. 14-16, features entertainment and demonstrations geared toward families and members of the community at all ages. “We take great pride in putting on a quality, family event that stays true to our values and rich agricultural history,” said Clark Walker, farm manager of Bob Evans Farm. “Visitors can escape the daily grind of back-to-school activities, soccer games and carpools to slow down, turn back the clock and cherish time with each other on the farm.” The top seven events of the festival capitalize on appealing to families. The kids’ corral features an interactive barnyard with a hay bale maze, game tent, kiddie barrel train and corn pile that will likely keep the kids busy for hours. Families will also enjoy the lead horseback and wagon rides at the Bob Evans Farm Festival. Youth can test their strength and determination by signing up for the Kiddie Pedal Tractor Pull (11 a.m.-1 p.m.) or take part in team cow chip tossing, corn shelling contests and a pie eating contest. Registration for contests begins at 9 a.m., with the contests beginning at 1:30 p.m. each day. Families catch a live demonstration from horseshoeing to milking cows and shearing sheep, families can watch demonstrations from the pioneer days. Families can take a trip through an authentic log cabin village, which includes four cabins and a one-room schoolhouse that have all been reconstructed on the Bob Evans Farm.

Forrest P. Frazier, of Guysville, was charged with one count of felonious assault in connection with a November 2015 incident in which he was alleged to have bit the ear of William A. Smith. Smith and others, including his wife, were subpoenaed to testify at the trial of Frazier, which was scheduled for Sept. 29. Smith, 39, did not appear at court that day and the prosecution requested a continuance until the next day. A warrant was issued at that time for Smith in an effort to bring him in to custody to appear at court the next morning. Smith was not located and did not appear the following morning. According to court documents, the prosecution asked that the court declare a mistrial as one of Frazier’s attorneys, Charles Knight, had represented Smith eight years prior. The court overruled the motion. The prosecution then advised that it could not proceed with the case without Smith. Counsel for Frazier made a motion to dismiss, which was granted. A motion was filed by Assistant Prosecutor Jeremy Fisher asking that Smith be found in contempt of court and punished accordingly. Smith appeared in court Wednesday on the contempt motion and was found to have been in contempt. Judge I. Carson Crow ordered Smith to serve 30 days in jail, pay a $250 fine and costs of the case for which he failed to appear as a witness. Smith has filed a notice of appeal, including a See VICTIM | 2A A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 4A Weather: 6A Courtesy photo Dorothy Casey (middle) stands between Ariel Theater Executive Director Lora Snow and Emancipation Celebration Day President Andrew Gilmore discuss the history of a John Gee home over their shoulders before the new Speedway was built in Gallipolis. Remembering a community matriarch Late Dorothy Casey ensured preservation of African American history in Gallia County By Dean Wright deanwright@civitsamedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Many have forgotten that, at one time, Gallia County was once considered a wild frontier as settlers from the east moved west. With that movement and the gradual birth of the United States came with it the struggles of new cultural identities. The Ohio River once marked the difference between what was considered free and what was considered slave territory. The river sat on the forefront of liberation efforts as Underground Railroad conductors smuggled African American slaves over the border. Dorothy Casey, executive director of the John Gee Black Historical Center, made it part of her life’s mission to make certain Gallia County would never forget what it meant to be free or what it meant to be part of family. Casey passed away Sept. 11 shortly before the Emancipation Celebration Day weekend. Casey also served as a certified nutritionist Casey with the Gallia County Agency on Aging and used her cooking prowess to prepare and plan nutritious meals for community seniors while also being a devoted Christian. She leaves behind a legacy of guardianship for African American history in Gallia County, as well as the love and memories of her friends and family. John Gee Black Historical Center members Elaine Armstrong and Bobette Braxton credited Casey with being one of the founders of the center as it transitioned from church to historical society.

In November 2013, Racine was approved through the Ohio Development Services Area for the program, which allows for those building in the area or conducting certain renovations to receive tax incentives up to and including 10-year tax exempt status on property taxes. The Ohio Community Reinvestment Area program is an economic development tool administered by municipal and county government that provides real property tax exemptions for property owners who renovate existing or construct new buildings. CRAs are areas of land in which property owners can receive tax incentives for investing in real property improvements. This program permits municipalities or counties to designate areas where investment has been discouraged as a CRA to encourage revitalization of the existing housing stock and the development of new structures. Local municipalities or counties can determine the type of development to be supported by the CRA program by specifying the eligibility of residential, commercial and/or industrial projects. Racine Mayor Scott Hill explained that, to date, the CRA program, which is available for residential or business properties in the village, had been utilized four times. Hill said the program has likely not been utilized more as people do not know it is available. See CRA | 6A �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2A Sunday, October 9, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel OBITUARIES DONALD W.

If you hear such nonsense, don’t believe it. Maybe I’m old-school. While I’ve embraced the digital side, there’s still nothing quite like holding a newspaper in your hands, easily scanning and flipping pages, and eating your favorite food or drinking your favorite beverage while doing so. Newspapers were first threatened by radio in the early 20th century, then television in the mid-20th Rough century. Now it’s the internet and Writer social media that pose threats. Michael Newspapers have survived previous Johnson challenges. They’ll survive this one. Tactile. There’s something tangible about a newspaper in your hands that you can’t get anywhere else. Not radio. Not television. Not the internet. Not a smartphone. You can spread it out on a table. You can spread it out on a floor. You can even spread it out on the hood of your car. You can take it with you. To the kitchen. To the garage. To the office. To the bathroom. It’s easy to get. You can find it almost everywhere. At the coffee shop. At the barber shop. At a mechanic’s shop. You can find newspapers in a box. On a shelf. In a library. At the bottom of a bird cage. Newspapers can be a protector. You can use it to wrap glassware and porcelain. You can use it on the floor to potty-train your puppy and shield your carpeting from dripping paint. You can use it as cheap insulation. You can use it to cover Newspapers are your plants during a hard a central source frost. You can use it as an of information, umbrella to cover your even if you get head from the rain. Don’t have a potholder? your news from You can use a newspaper the internet to grasp that hot plate and social from the oven. media. More A newspaper can even often than not, be a weapon. You can roll it up and crush flies, it’s usually the repackaged work spiders and other creepy crawlies. You can even of newspapers. use for it self-defense (see http://tinyurl.com/ hd4ropd). You can use it as a torch to find your way through a dark place. You can use it to start a fire and keep warm. Trying to get someone’s attention outdoors? Roll one into a funnel and use it as a megaphone. Want to eliminate that odor? Stuff it in your wet shoes. Stuff it in your stale briefcase. Stuff it in your musty suitcase. Newspapers have been used as props in films and TV series, both large and small. “No Country for Old Men,” “Back to the Future,” “10 Things I Hate About You,” “Casper,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Modern Family” and many others. It is so widely popular that Ed O’Neill, the Ohio University grad and star of “Married with Children,” for years used it as a prop. In fact, he still uses it as such in his current series, “Modern Family.” Kurtwood Smith, better known as “Red” on “That 70s Show,” was forced to read the same newspaper for eight seasons. Take a closer next time you see Red with his newspaper. I once supplied five copies of my former newspaper in New Mexico for a little-known film — “This Must Be the Place,” starring Sean Penn and Frances McDormand. There was only one request from filmmakers: No stories about Obama. The story takes place before his presidency. Newspapers have been the subject of major films such as “Citizen Kane,” “All The President’s Men,” “Absence of Malice,” “It Happened One Night,” “Spotlight,” “Zodiac,” “State of Play” and, of course, “The Paper.” Newspapers are a central source of information, even if you get your news from the internet and social media. More often than not, it’s usually the repackaged work of newspapers. Even TV news regularly sites print sources. Don’t believe me? Watch this clip (http://tinyurl. com/zgsakpu) about newspaper journalism by “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver, in which he masterfully, comically and succinctly sums up newspaper journalism’s worth to the world in less than 20 minutes. While most strong language is censored, viewer discretion is still advised. Newspapers aren’t dead. Print and digital can work together. I’ve illustrated it in two separate paragraphs of this column. Newspapers will be around much longer than you think. They’re too valuable to let slip away. Reach Michael Johnson at 740-446-2342, ext. 2102, or on Twitter @ OhioEditorMike. THEIR VIEW Observing Fire Prevention Week As the hot, summer days turn into cool, fall nights, most of us are preparing our home heating systems for cooler weather that typically accompanies the fall and winter months. With the drop in temperatures comes a spike in residential structure fires, which require our area volunteer firefighters to respond at all hours of the day and night. Firefighters in Meigs County and the surrounding counties are some of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. The service, sacrifice and dedication they show to their departments and the citizens of our communities should be commended. As a group, the members of the Meigs County Firefighter’s Association continually train so they can be as efficient as possible when emergencies occur. The members of our county fire departments also spend time at area schools teaching were not present. children about In 21 percent of fire safety in an those deaths, smoke effort to keep alarms were present families safe. but did not properly During the activate. week of Oct.

Develop and practice your home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do and where to go in the event of a fire. If anyone has questions about their home smoke detectors, we encourage you to contact your local fire department. The members of the Meigs County Firefighter’s Association would like to say “thank you” for your continued support.

In 2009, President THOUGHT FOR TODAY “There is nothing harder than the softness of indifference.” — Clare Boothe Luce, American author, politician and diplomat (1903-1987). Barack Obama was named the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Ten years ago: North Korea faced a barrage of condemnation and calls for retaliation after it announced that it had set off a small atomic weapon underground; President George W.

Man gets life in prison for ordering hit at wrong home CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — A man accused of arranging a contract killing in which the hired attacker went to the wrong Ohio home and shot someone with the same name as the intended target has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. A Geauga (jee-‘AW-guh) County judge sentenced Joe Rosebrook on Thursday. He was convicted of aggravated murder and other charges in September for the 2006 fatal shooting of Daniel Ott in suburban Cleveland. Rosebrook maintained his innocence Thursday while telling Ott’s family he was sorry for their loss. Authorities say another Daniel Ott was targeted for double-crossing the 60-year-old Rosebrook by informing authorities when Rosebrook hired him to kill someone in his stolen-car operation. The man convicted in the mistaken murder is serving at least 28 years in prison. Ohioans in his ongoing push to grant clemency during his final months in office and spur action on criminal justice reform. They were among 102 people in the latest commutations announced Thursday. Most were convicted of nonviolent crimes related to cocaine or other drugs, though some were also serving time for firearms violations in connection to drug trafficking, possession or sales. Arthur Clinkscale, of Youngstown, and Alan Jerome Spears, of Cleveland, had their sentences for cocaine possession commuted to expire next year, on Feb. 3. Gerald Lofton, of Warren, faced cocaine conspiracy and firearms-related charges. His sentence was commuted to expire Oct. 6, 2018, depending on enrollment in a residential treatment program.

As told by Dorothy’s son, Bill, at the time, she was received by the President of Liberia, President William R. Tolbert Jr. “My mother was honored by his kindness, but was as direct with the president as she was everyone,” Bill wrote. “He remarked to her about her bearing and dignity. My mother simply expressed her pleasure in meeting him. She was ever the same with everyone, kind, firm, direct, strong in her convictions and her faith. In visiting Liberia, a country settled and governed by the ancestors of American slaves, my mother learned many things and developed during her time their a love for the indigenous peoples who, in return, expressed great respect and affection for her as well. ”Her life is a beacon and suggests to each one of us that in honoring what came before and in nurturing what opportunities we have in this hour, we can provide inspiration and hope, as Dr. (Carter) Woodson so aptly reminds us,” Bill wrote. According to Dorothy’s obituary, she was born to James and Anna Singer and wed to Robert Casey in 1946. She had five children, William (Bill), Hattie Ann, Roberta, Cynthia and Morris.

CENTENARY, Ohio — Another year, another league championship for the Blue Angels. The Gallia Academy volleyball team claimed a 3-0 victory over Ohio Valley Conference guest Portsmouth, on Thursday night in Gallia County, sealing at least a share of the Blue Angels’ second straight OVC championship. This is the fifth league title in the past four seasons for GAHS, as the Blue Angels won the final three Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championships. The Blue Angels (20-0, 12-0 OVC) — who have yet to drop a single game in OVC play this season — led wire-to-wire in the opening game, claiming the 25-18 victory. After three lead changes early on in the second game, the teams were tied for the seventh time at 9-9. Gallia Academy claimed the next six points and rolled to the 25-18 win, moving ahead 2-0 in the match. Gallia Academy never trailed in the third game, winning it by a 25-19 count to cap off the 3-0 win and the season sweep of PHS (12-5, 10-2), which can finish no worse than second in the league. GAHS freshman Alex Barnes led the hosts with 10 service points, including four aces. Junior libero Brooke Pasquale posted eight points and two aces, while Jenna Meadows and Carly Shriver each had seven points, including four aces by Meadows. Ryleigh Caldwell finished with six points in the win, while Grace Martin contributed two points and one ace. Martin led the net attack for GAHS, posting 12 kills and four blocks. Meadows finished with 10 kills and one block, Barnes added four kills and one block, while Shriver had two kills, two blocks and See ANGELS | 2B Tornadoes fall 42-14 to Trimble By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — After six weeks of somewhat smooth sailing for the Southern football team, it seemed as though little went right on Friday evening as the Tornadoes dropped a 42-14 decision to Trimble. The Tomcats (5-2, 5-1 TVC Hocking) have owned the series against Southern (6-1, 4-1) for the past 24 years and Friday was no different. Southern’s only win against Trimble came in 1973. The game looked to be a defensive battle in the first quarter as both teams went three and out on their first two possessions. Southern was able to push the Tomcats back with a sack on each drive, one each by Alex VanMeter and Crenson Rogers. After the second Southern punt gave Trimble the ball at its own 24 yard line, the Tomcats used four consecutive run plays — capped off by a 62-yard run by Dominic Pickett — to put the first points of the game on the board. A penalty on the extra point moved the ball to the one yard line where the Tomcats elected to go for two on the quarterback keeper by Gary Brooks. The resulting kickoff was fumbled by Southern and recovered by Trimble at the Southern 38 yard line. Southern’s special teams mishaps would not stop there as the Tornadoes would have fumbles or bobbles on two other kickoffs and a dropped fair catch on a punt. Despite the mishaps, Southern would retain possession on each of those plays. Trimble took advantage of the recovery with running backs Kameron Curry, Pickett and Nathan Downs moving the ball down field on a series of runs. Curry took the ball in on a pitch to the left side with 2.6 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Max Hooper kick game Trimble the 15-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Southern’s first possession of the second quarter brought the first points for the hosts. Blake Johnson threw six passes on the drive, completing two, including the 24 yard scoring strike to Crenson Rogers who went up for the grab on the left side of the end zone on the fourth down play. The extra point kick attempt was no good, leaving Southern See TRIMBLE | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Monday, October 10 Volleyball Miller at Eastern, 7:15 Belpre at South Gallia, 7:15 Team Ignite at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Southern at Waterford, 7:15 Wahama at Trimble, 6 p.m. Meigs at Federal Hocking, 7:15 Hannan at Covenant Christian, 5:30 Tuesday, October 11 Volleyball Wahama at Southern, 7:15 OVCS, Ravenswood at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. Vinton County at Meigs, 7:15 Federal Hocking at Eastern, 7:15 Buffalo at Hannan, 6 p.m. South Gallia at Miller, 7:15 River Valley at Alexander, 7:15 Gallia Academy at Ironton, 7 p.m. Soccer Fairland at Ohio Valley Christian, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant boys at Cabell Midland, 5:30 College Volleyball Rio Grande at Carlow University, 7 p.m. Wednesday, October 12 Volleyball South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 6:30 Soccer Lincoln County at Point Pleasant girls, 7 p.m. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern sophomore Nate Durst (16) drags Wahama defender Johnnie Board during a second half catch and run in a Week 7 TVC Hocking football contest in Mason, W.Va.

Wahama’s ensuing drive lasted 14 plays and covered 62 yards, but a fourth-and-goal run from the Eastern four ultimately resulted in a one-yard loss and a loss of downs — giving the guests possession at their own five with 8:42 left in regulation. The Eagles were forced to punt and WHS reclaimed possession at its own 42-yard line with 4:02 remaining, but the White Falcon drive stalled on downs just eight yards later. With possession at midfield, EHS drove a nail into the proverbial coffin with a five-play, 50-yard drive that was finished off by a 41-yard touchdown run by Facemyer — making it a 34-14 contest with 1:47 left. Wahama answered with a six-play, 55-yard drive that was capped off by an eight-yard touchdown pass from Grate to Thomas with 5.1 seconds left in regulation — wrapping up the 14-point difference. The Eagles outgained the hosts by a sizable 422-290 overall mark in total yards of offense, which included a 256-174 advantage in the ground attack. Both teams also committed two turnovers apiece, with Fisher also recovering a fumble for Wahama in the first half. The White Falcons ran a total of 56 offensive plays from scrimmage in the contest, and Eastern held the hosts to no gains or worse on 13 of those plays while also coming away with two interceptions. Afterwards, EHS coach Pat Newland was pleased with how well his troops performed — particularly on the defensive side of the ball. “Coach Barr is a good coach and he gets his guys ready to play week in and week out, so we knew it was going to be a battle. With the exception of the two turnovers, I thought we did a really good job of executing in the first half,” Newland said. “Give Wahama credit because they were moving the ball down the field on us, but when they got in the red zone — we manned up and became football players. “We really wanted to run the football tonight and we did, especially See EAGLES | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, October 9, 2016 Trimble From page 1B at a 15-6 deficit early in the second quarter. From there Trimble seemed to take control of the contest. A 11-play Tomcat Drive which ended with a one yard scoring run from Brooks on the quarterback keeper up the middle. The kick from Hooper made it 22-6. Southern took the next drive from it’s own 17 yard line to near midfield before Trimble’s Ryan Richards intercepted the Johnson pass at the 50. Trimble capitalized on the opportunity, scoring on a 13-yard run from Curry to the left pylon for the score. Hooper’s kick made it 29-6 just before the half. The hosts moved the ball well to start off the third quarter, but could not convert on pass plays on third and fourth downs at the Trimble 27 yard line. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the fourth down lay backed Trimble up inside its own 15 yard line to start the resulting drive. After back-to-back four yard gains from Curry and Pickett, Curry took the ball 78 yards on a third down play for his third touchdown of the game. Hooper’s kick gave Trimble the 30-point advantage and started a running clock under OHSAA rules. Southern’s first possession of the fourth quarter brought the game back under the 30 point margin as Johnson was able to reach across the goal line from the one yard line for the score. Riley Roush’s two point conversion run made the score 36-14 with 6:21 left in the game. The Tomcats’ final possession included nine running plays, bringing the clock down to 26.1 seconds with Sawyer Koons punching it in from the two yard line. A missed extra point left Trimble with the 42-14 final score. “It was a tough loss for us. I don’t think that as coaches we had a good game. I don’t think our kids played well. We had some turnovers but we have a do a better job, all of us together, and that’s coaches number one. I think that give credit to Trimble, their kids played hard and played well and they beat us,” said Southern head coach Mike Chancey after the loss. Senior Kameron Curry and junior Dominic Pickett led the way for the Tomcats, both eclipsing the 100 yard mark on the ground in the game. Curry found the end zone three times, compiling 149 yards on 15 carries. Pickett tallied 125 yards on 13 carries, including the 62 yard touchdown run. For Southern, Blake Johnson led the offense with 111 passing yards and 26 rushing yards on a total of 28 combined plays. Johnson’s 16 pass attempts were 14 more than in last week’s win over Federal Hocking. After compiling 366 yards on the ground last week, Trimble held Southern to 117 yards on the ground. Riley Roush led the team in rushing yards with 47 on five carries. Crenson Rogers and Colton Holbrook each had two catches, with Rogers gaining 59 yards and Holbrook 52 through the air. Holbrook added 19 yards on the ground. “We’re going to regroup and we’re going to get together and go play a good Waterford team next week,” concluded Chancey.

Wildcats roll past Rebels, 54-8 By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — South Gallia’s offense is three yards and a cloud of dust. Waterford’s offense — on Friday night — was three plays and put more points on the scoreboard. That’s because the visiting Wildcats, in scoring on seven of their eight first-half possessions, scored six times on three or fewer plays — and cruised to an easy 54-8 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division football victory at South Gallia High School. That’s right. As the host Rebels either punted following three-and-out possessions, or committed four first-half turnovers, Waterford was scoring seemingly at will — en route to officially taking over sole possession of first-place in the TVC-Hocking. The win raised the Wildcats’ record to 6-1, as Waterford continues its best start since 2007 — when it finished at 9-1. In addition, combined with Trimble’s 42-14 victory at Southern on Friday, the Wildcats are alone atop the TVCHocking at 5-0. The Rebels, on the other hand, fell to 2-5 — and 1-4 in the division. South Gallia also saw its five-game win streak against Waterford snapped, as the Wildcats last defeated the Rebels in 2010 — their first year in the TVC. Truth be told, Friday night’s Homecoming matchup pitted a talented, fast and experienced wide-open Waterford club against the young Rebels — whose double-wing doubletight run-oriented offense is not predicated to play from behind. The Wildcats scored the opening 54 points, including 28 in the first quarter and 20 in the second. Leading 48-0 at halftime, and with the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s running-clock rule in effect for the entire second half, the Wildcats ran just six plays in the final 24 minutes — but needed only Cody Harris’ 90-yard return on the opening second-half kickoff for their final score. The Wildcats, with all but 17 second-half rushing yards, racked up 313 total yards and eight scores— including 235 rushing yards on 29 carries with six TDs. They scored on three drives of only two plays, and three Eagles Paul Boggs | OVP Sports South Gallia’s Colten Coughenour (2) carries the ball as teammate A.J. Woodall (46) tries to block during the Rebels’ Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division football game against Waterford on Friday night at South Gallia High School. more on just three snaps, as their longest scoring drive was a nine-play, 67-yard march that consumed three minutes and 53 seconds. The other five drives were all under 1:09, including three in under an astounding 19 ticks. “You have to give Waterford credit. They made us look bad,” said South Gallia coach Jason Peck. “Good teams like that will make teams like us with our age and our inexperience look bad and our mistakes more amplified. They did a good job and they are well-coached. Those kids have been starting for three or four years over there. They will be a handful for anyone.” Especially given the Wildcats’ team speed. “The game speed that Waterford had is the type of overall game speed we haven’t seen this year,” said Peck. “Their offensive line, linebackers, the whole team overall, Waterford is a very fast football team. And they are physical when they get to the ball also.” That, along with the Rebels punting five times in the first half — including one which was blocked to set up the final touchdown of the opening quarter. sickening to think about what we could have done if we had played four quarters of football the way we did From page 1B the last two and a half. “We’ll regroup, get ready for our coming out of halftime.

Coughenour then completed a pass to Jeffrey Sheets for the two-point conversion. By then, it was just a matter of what the final score would read. The Wildcats notched their only touchdown toss for their opening touchdown — which consisted of back-to-back wide receiver screens to Tyler McCutcheon from quarterback Isaac Huffman. On Waterford’s first play following a South Gallia threeand-out, Huffman threw to McCutcheon on the right for 17 yards to the Rebel 43-yardline.

The next play was the same play going to the left — as McCutcheon caught the pass, raced up the sideline, and evaded tacklers all the way to the end zone. Harris, who scored on a 51-yard end-around run to the left to make it 21-0, made his first six extra-point kicks before missing his seventh and final try. The only other pass that Huffman completed was an 18-yarder to Taylor Strahler, as Waterford’s ground game accounted for the other 218 yards and six scores in the final 22:06 of the first half. Braden Bellville led the attack with 77 yards and a touchdown on a dozen carries, followed by 55 yards and two touchdowns by McCutcheon. Huffman had four carries for 11 yards, and scored on TD dives of one and two yards. The young Rebels return to the road, and return to TVCHocking Division action, next Friday night at Wahama. Peck said it’s now all about his young group finishing the season strong. “We have to get mentally tougher. We have a very young group going against four of the top eight teams in our (playoff) region. That’s rough for a young team to go against those teams, but it’s also an opportunity to get better,” he said. “Our kids fought hard and tried hard. I’m proud of them for coming in and keep plugging and coming to work every day.

Lady Defenders sweep Hannan By Bryan Walters Lady Rebels rally past Wahama By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — After a busy week of volleyball for the South Gallia Lady Rebels, the young Lady Rebels perhaps saved their best for last on Thursday night. That’s because South Gallia, after falling behind two games to one against winless Wahama, rallied for a victory for the second consecutive match. The Rebels completed the season sweep of visiting Wahama, winning 15-25, 23-25, 25-19, 25-19 and 15-10 in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tilt. With the win, South Gallia raised its record to 4-14 — and 3-10 in the TVC-Hocking. For the White Falcons, it is as close as they have come to a win all season — having taken the first two games. They fell to 0-16 — and 0-13 in the league. Several South Gallia girls got in on the stat sheet on Thursday night, anywhere from service points to kills and blocks and aces. Erin Evans amassed a match-high 13 kills, as Rachal Colburn and Olivia Hornsby had seven apiece — with four from Christine Griffith. Griffith and Colburn collected two blocks apiece, as Evans added one. Hornsby with 11 and Taylor Burnette with seven set for the team assists, as Burnette led in digs with three. Aaliyah Howell had 13 service points to pace the winners, followed by Burnette with 10, Evans with eight and Griffith with six. The Rebels also served up several aces, paced by Hannah Shafer with four. Evans and Amaya Howell had three aces apiece, while Griffith and Burnette both tallied two. Both clubs are back in TVC-Hocking action on Monday and Tuesday, with Wahama traveling to Trimble on Monday and Southern on Tuesday.

Although, the drama definitely didn’t end there. In fact, it lasted until the final buzzer sounded. The Blue Devils, in desperation mode to eke out at least a 4-4 tie, attempted two final shots within the final seconds at South Point goalkeeper Jordan Perkey. In a scramble on the right side of the box, a great Gallia Academy shot went right through Perkey’s legs, but missed just left by a razor-thin margin — but right at the feet of sophomore Justin Day.

Even a tie, in fact, would have clinched no worse than a share of the title. But now it gets very interesting, as the Blue Devils fell to 9-5-0, including 6-1-0 in the OVC. South Point, meanwhile, improved its record to 8-5-1 — and 5-1-0 in the conference. Should the Blue Devils win at Chesapeake next Thursday night, they will at least share the OVC championship. Gallia Academy can also still win the title outright — should it defeat or tie Chesapeake, and have the Pointers lose at least one of their final two. The Pointers’ only league loss came against the Blue Devils, when GAHS rallied from a 2-0 halftime deficit to claim a 5-4 win at South Point. On Thursday, the Pointers turned the two-goal deficit trick. The Blue and White was controlling its own destiny until the 26:14 mark of the second half, having scored three times in 10 minutes in the opening stanza. After Helton had a penalty-kick goal for South Point with 25:20 left, Isaiah Lester landed the 1-1 equalizer — off an assist by Pedro Carrascal with 21:55 remaining. For Lester, that was his 25th goal of his stellar senior season.

The extrapoint kick by Parris cut the Big Blacks’ lead to 24-17, with 6:43 left in the third period. The Big Blacks were forced to punt for the only time in the game on their first possession after the half, but Bluefield was backed up to its own two-yard line. After gaining zero yards on three plays, the Beavers lined up to punt. However, the Beavers faked the punt and Collier broke a 98-yard run for six points. Parris’ extra-point tied the game at 24, with 5:14 left in the third. On the ensuing PPHS possession, Payne found junior Keshawn Stover for a 47-yard touchdown completion. The go-ahead TD — which was followed by a successful PAT kick by Schultz — was Point Pleasant’s 40th touchdown of the season. The Beavers drove onto the PPHS side of the field on their next possession, but Point Pleasant senior Jason Wamsley came through with an interception. The Big Blacks failed to score on the drive, but again pinned Bluefield inside its own five. The Beavers went nowhere on three plays, and again tried a fake-punt. This time, how- ever, the fake failed, as Collier was stopped for a one-yard loss. On the very next play, Payne found paydirt on a three-yard quarterback-keeper. Schultz added the extra-point and the hosts led 38-24, with 6:51 remaining. The Big Black defense came up big yet again on the next Bluefield possession, as Payne intercepted a pass to give the hosts possession at the BHS 31. On the first play of the PPHS possession, Payne connected with Stover for a 31-yard touchdown pass, which — with Schultz’ extrapoint — gave the hosts a 45-24 lead, with 6:34 remaining. The guests lost possession on downs on the next drive and never scored again, giving Point Pleasant the 21-point victory. For the game, Point Pleasant outgained the Beavers 491-to356 in total yards, including 337-to-202 on the ground. The hosts held a 26-to-17 advantage in first downs for the game, including 14-to-8 in the first half. The Big Blacks were penalized nine times for a total of 101 yards, while BHS was sent back 10 times for a total of 68 yards. Safford led the Big Blacks with 201 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries, to go with one reception for eight yards. Payne — who rushed 17 times for 87 yards and two TDs — completed 8-of-15 passes for 154 yards and two more scores. Justin Brumfield carried the ball three times for 31 yards, Jared Icenhower rushed once for 10 yards, while Alec Smith had one eight-yard run. Stover caught three passes for 82 yards and two scores, Jason Wamsley added two receptions for 39 yards, while Dakota Booth hauled in two passes for 25 yards.

Collier ran 12 times for 150 yards and one touchdown, while hauling in eight passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. Point Pleasant has a bye week next, and will return to action on October 21, at Man. Before that, Bluefield will test the Hillbillies, as the Beavers visit Man on Friday. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2100. Rio Grande men blitz Blazers in 6-0 victory By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing GROVE CITY, Ohio — For the second time in three outings, the University of Rio Grande’s defensive play did all it could to steal the thunder from a high-powered offense. The RedStorm did not allow host Ohio Christian a shot attempt in a 6-0 River States Conference win over the Trailblazers on Thursday afternoon at Grove City Christian School’s Stadium Turf. The game was originally scheduled to be played on the OCU campus in Circleville, but was moved due to poor field conditions. Rio Grande, ranked No. 2 in the latest NAIA Coaches’ Top 25, improved to 11-1 overall and 3-0 in the RSC. The RedStorm, who had outshot Brescia (Ky.) and Marian (Ind.) by a combined 86-2 over their previous two outings — including a 48-0 advantage against Brescia — enjoyed a 17-0 cushion over OCU on Thursday. Senior Lucas Talaveira-Befi (Sao Paulo, Brazil) scored twice in the victory, while junior Jorge Guinovart (Barcelona, Spain) had a goal and an assist and sophomore Harry Reilly (Coventry, England) assisted on two scores. Reilly’s assists came on the game’s first two markers — a goal by Guinovart at 14:50 and a header by Befi just over seven minutes later. Senior Pau Rodriguez (Barcelona, Spain) had the RedStorm’s final goal of the first half thanks to an assist by senior Callum Cobb (London, England) just over four minutes after Befi’s score. Befi’s second goal got the second half scoring underway and made it 4-0 just 9:25 into the stanza, while junior Isaiah Chapman (Cincinnati, OH) and freshman Tim Adam Tuomikoski (Helsinki, Finland) added the final two scores inside the final 15 minutes of the match. Freshman James Williamson (San Jose, Costa Rica) assisted on Chapman’s goal at 75:57, while Tuomikoski’s came on a free kick with 9:50 left to play. Sophomore Ben Martinez (Montpellier, France) got the win in goal for the RedStorm. Roberto Valera had two saves in a route-going performance in net for the Trailblazers.

The 18-day trip was made possible through The Ohio State University’s “But for Ohio State” campaign, which launched in 2009 and ended last month, and raised more than $520 million for student scholarships and support. According to OSU’s website, the campaign’s name derives from the words of L Brands CEO and former university Board of Trustees Chairman Leslie H. Wexner, who donated $100 million to his alma mater and reportedly said, “But for Ohio State, I would never have been able to go to college.” The Keith and Linda Monda International Experience Scholarships in the College of Arts and Sciences was created as a part of that larger campaign and enabled Caldwell, one of 50 students selected each year, to travel and study abroad. Caldwell, now a junior studying speech and hearing science, was a freshman when she attended a seminar led by an alumnus who was chaperoning a study abroad trip in the spring. “I studied abroad in May 2015 through a MUNDO program called Multicultural Histories and Legacies of London and Paris,” Caldwell said. “I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship through Ohio State from the Monda family that covered half of my costs to go abroad.” The Monda Scholarship provided the majority of the funds Caldwell needed to pay for her experience. She met the balance by working and asking family for funding for the trip as Christmas and birthday presents. Caldwell said she, along with eight other recipients, had the chance to meet the scholarship donors and tell them of her experience. “When it was my turn to talk about my trip, Keith (Monda) was amazed that I had never flown or been out of the country before this trip,” she said. — Haleigh Caldwell, OSU student from Gallia County “He was thrilled he was able to make such a large impact on my life with his donation to the university.” The purpose of her trip, she said, was to study the importance and impact of diversity not only in London and Paris, but also on campus and in the United States. “We were required to take a course during the spring semester before going abroad where we studied the culture, history and language of the two cities we were about to travel to,” she said. “The course prepared us for what we were about to experience abroad.” While abroad, Caldwell also spent an entire day volunteering at a homeless shelter in London. The rest of the days, she said, were spent studying, exploring the cities and taking in all the sights. “My favorites in London were the Imperial War Museum and the Globe Theatre,” she said. “While in Paris, the Catacombs, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre and food blew my mind.” The trip, Caldwell said, wouldn’t have been possible if not for the support of her parents. “It’s crazy to think those 18 days made a huge impact on me and my life, and now I’m able to use my story to impact Caldwell visits legendary Big Ben in London, England. and encourage others to travel and others to donate to enable people like me to have an experience of a lifetime,” she said. After earning her bachelor’s degree (with a minor in coaching education), Caldwell hopes to attend graduate school and pursue a master’s degree. She hopes to become a speech language pathologist and possibly a coach. There may also be a second trip across the pond. “I hope to one day go back,” she said.

Caldwell stands on the Pont des Arts Bridge in Paris, France, where the railing contains thousands of “locks of love.” For years, visitors have been attaching locks with sentimental messages to the railing in symbolic acts of affection.

After years of seeing patients who have managed to lodge just about everything imaginable in hard-to-reach places, Elmaraghy has settled on a few favorite stories. A few years ago, one girl swallowed her mom’s 1-carat diamond earring. It went down her windpipe and got stuck in one of her lungs. Elmaraghy remembers the mother firing off frantic questions about the condition of the jewel — but none about her daughter. Another time, a girl stuck a tiny high-heeled shoe from a Polly Pocket play set up her nose. To remove it, Elmaraghy used an instrument that fit into the sole of the tiny shoe like an actual foot might have. “You have to get pretty creative when you remove them,” he said. Payne’s favorite case involved an older patient, maybe 7 or 8 years old, who was trying to hear the ocean through a small, eraser-size seashell. The boy couldn’t explain to nurses how the shell wound up inches-deep in his ear. �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, October 9, 2016 3C By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Dave Green 7 7 6 9 1 9 3 1 6 3 4 9 2 5 4 3 9 8 7 6 4 8 5 1 8 6 10/10 Difficulty Level THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner THE FAMILY CIRCUS Today’s Solution By Bil and Jeff Keane 10/10 2 1 7 8 4 6 5 9 3 4 6 8 9 7 2 1 3 5 7 2 1 3 6 5 8 4 9 9 3 5 1 8 4 7 6 2 1 8 6 5 3 7 9 2 4 3 7 2 4 1 9 6 5 8 5 9 4 6 2 8 3 7 1 2016 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

At the Meigs County Health Department, we encourage parents, grandparents and all caregivers of infants to practice the recommended ABC’s of infant safe sleep as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics:Alone: Share the room, but not the bed. Babies need their own space to sleep. Set up the baby’s safe sleeping area in the same room, but not in your bed. Back: Babies sleep safest on their backs, every sleep, every nap, every time. Crib: Babies should sleep in a safety-approved crib, bassinet or portable crib with a firm mattress and tight fitting bottom sheet. Bare is best: no blankets, quilts, crib bumpers, toys, or any objects should be in a baby’s sleeping space. There are also other important factors to keep in mind when protecting babies from SIDS, such as not allowing the baby to overheat due to too much clothing, not allowing smoking near the infant, and mothers should always avoid smoking, drinking and illicit drug use during pregnancy. The Meigs County Health Department is dedicated to keeping sleeping babies safe.
