The race will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26, with registration from 8:30-9:30 a.m. The race begins and ends at Meigs High School. The 5K has been held the Saturday after Thanksgiving each year in memory of Brandi Thomas, the daughter of John and Cheryl Thomas. The Brandi Thomas Memorial Scholarship fund was established in honor of Thomas, who died in 2002 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Thomas was a member of the Meigs cross country and track and ﬁeld teams. The fund is used to provide academic scholarships for Meigs High School graduates who participated in high school cross country and/or track and ﬁeld. According to previous Sentinel reports, “Keep Your Fork” is derived from an inspirational story sent to the family following Brandi’s passing. The story was about a young woman who upon discovering she only has three months to live decides to make her ﬁnal arrangements. One of these arrangements was that she be buried with a fork. The reasoning behind the fork was that at most socials and dinners after the dishes from the main course are cleared, someone invariably says, ” keep your fork ,” because something better is coming, whether it be dessert or an afterlife. The fork is a symbol that the best is yet to come which is the reason behind the race’s unique name. The proceeds from this event, which is open to all runners or walkers ages six years and older, will be used to beneﬁt The Brandi Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund. Prizes will be awarded in various age groups in both female and male categories. Additionally, plaques will be awarded to the top three male and female runners. The fee for participation is $20. The ﬁrst 150 entrants shall receive a T-shirt. Checks should be made payable to: Brandi Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund. Participants under the age of 18 must have their parent and/or guardian signature to run or walk. For more information, call Mike Kennedy at home (740) 992-7552, cell (740) 357-2723 or work (740) 992-2158. The 2016 scholarship recipients were Colton Lilly and Sadie Fox.

Dear Father, thank You for the men and women who served in our military to protect and preserve our freedom. We honor them now. We also celebrate Your resurrection.

Relationships have a way of being great sources of encouragement and empowerment for us. They also have a way of leeching from us health and wholesomeness, and in some cases of completely destroying lives. Like the little girl with the little curl, “when they are good they are very, very good. And when they are bad, they are horrid.” Healthy relationships take time, trust, honesty, and good old fashioned hard work. Neglecting them lets them deteriorate into acid pools of frustration that can ruin us and damage others. We have the hope that with the help of Christ, our relationships can be made into beautiful vessels of honor for God whether we’re talking about friendship, courtship, spousal, or parenthood. Even business associations can (and should) be avenues of grace as God’s love and power ﬂow through us into the lives of others because of our connectedness. But what do you do when, in spite of all that you do and all that you pray, relationships break down and turn into ovens of frustration? When the yeast of discontentedness and miscommunication somehow ﬁlters into the dough of relationship from the broken world around us, relationships sometimes become seemingly capable of producing nothing but pain and sadness. So much can be (and needs to be) said to address this that this small article can do little more than touch upon it. Yet, if you have found yourself suffering from the aftermath of a broken relationship, be reminded that you are not alone. The world around you has See RELY | 5 SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Walking with God The prophet Amos was sent to preach to a people in rebellion against God. The nation of Israel had left the law Moses had given them and were happily and willfully adding to it, changing it, and seeking to make it more pleasing to themselves. They had certain ideas about the kind of religion they wanted, and, unfortunately, their ideas did not coincide with the ideas that God had already given them. But the Israelites didn’t like to think that they were ungodly. They were not accept them, a very religious nor will I regard people, devoted to their celebrations, your fattened peace their sacriﬁces offerings. Take and their worship. away from Me (cf.

They had recreated God so as to make their god agree with them. When in truth, their duty was to agree with God. Amos presents to us the difﬁculty of the dichotomy: “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” (Amos 3:3) Walking in unity with anyone requires a certain level of agreement. There must be agreement as to See GOD | 5 �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel From page 4 itself been reeling from the horror of such brokenness from its infancy, from Adam and Eve’s broken fellowship with God to Cain and Abel’s broken fellowship with God and one another resulting in the ﬁrst murder. Seek to humble yourself to God and allow Him to help you in being reconciled if possible: apologize for that which you ought and make right what you can. Then commit the matter to the Lord through prayer, trusting that God is at least as interested as you (and likely to be more so) in bridging broken relationships. Sometimes, however, others are not interested in ﬁxing broken relationships. Sometimes, you are a victim of unearned and unwarranted attacks by those who “should” love and support you. Again, you are not alone. “It is not an enemy who taunts me – then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me – then I could hide from him. But it is you, a man, my equal, my com- Trump takes triumphant tour of Washington panion, my familiar friend” (Psalm 55:12-13 ESV). Because we sometimes suffer broken fellowship no matter how hard we have tried to mend things or compensate, we must remember that we need not be ruined or bound by our hurt. While it is true, as has been said, that we have been created for relationship, the one relationship that sustains us when all others have been drowned in the raging waters of disaster is our relationship with God. Fortunately, it is the one relationship that is not founded on our efforts or our successes or even our own personal worth, but is based on the love and righteousness of Jesus Christ Himself. Take heart. Jesus loves you, even if friends or family desert or betray you. Let the healing water of His love soothe your weary and scarred soul as you trust His promise to love you and make you His own forever.

Ohio State hopes it doesn’t. When Burns, a seldom-used freshman defensive back, returned an interception 75 yards for a touchdown for Ohio State in the ﬁnal minutes of a 77-10 win over Bowling Green in it’s opener, it was the beginning of a record-setting season for the Buckeyes defense. Since then, Ohio State has returned ﬁve more interceptions for touchdowns, including two in a 62-3 win over Nebraska last Saturday night. The ﬁrst of those two last Saturday broke the school record for touchdowns on interceptions, which was four. This year’s team has taken six of the 14 interceptions it has to the end zone. Defensive backs Marshon Lattimore and Malik Hooker each had one against Tulsa. Linebacker Jerome Baker returned one 68 yards for a score against Oklahoma, and Damon Webb and Hooker scored after picks against Nebraska. Hooker, who has ﬁve of OSU’s interceptions this season, nearly scored a third time. But a questionable blocking below the waist penalty cost him the TD. When Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was asked about all the scoring after interceptions on Monday at his weekly press conference and again on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday, the ﬁrst thing he talked about was how well OSU blocks after it gets an interception. “Our guys are so well-trained and they believe in our staff so much. Every staff says go get a hat on somebody, but our guys have taken it to a new level. Both interceptions (against Nebraska) were great examples,” Meyer said. “Guys turned like their hair was on ﬁre to go get blocks and they were escorted to the end zone. “We certainly have emphasized that and it is paying off,” Meyer said. Notes: — MENTOR-STUDENT AGAIN: Meyer will be coaching against a former assistant for the second time this season when Ohio State plays at Maryland on Saturday. Maryland head coach D.J. Durkin was a graduate assistant with Meyer at Bowling Green and then was a special teams coordinator for him at Florida. Earlier this year, he coached against former OSU assistant Chris Ash when the Buckeyes played Rutgers. Meyer said he spotted Durkin as a coach to watch right away.

Point hosts Huskies in playoff opener By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Some old hats never go out of style. The Point Pleasant football team will be making its ninth consecutive appearance in the WVSSAC postseason this Friday night when the third-seeded Big Blacks welcome 14th-seeded North Marion to Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field for a Class AA opening round playoff contest in Mason County. The Big Blacks (10-0) — who own a state-best 43-game regular season winning streak — are fresh off their fourth straight unbeaten regular season, which serves as a ﬁrst in school history. PPHS — which is making its 14th playoff appearance overall — is also making its ﬁrst Class AA playoff run since ﬁnishing as the state runner-up in 2011. Point Pleasant was once again dominant in the 2016 regular season after outscoring opponents by a sizable 469-132 overall margin, which included a single shutout of Man (41-0) back in Week 9. The Big Blacks defeated no playoff qualiﬁers this fall, but the Red and Black did record wins of at least 20 points in all but one of their 10 regular season outings. Following another tremendously successful campaign, 10th-year PPHS football coach David Darst — who owns a career mark of 85-22 at Point Pleasant — noted that the 2016 gridiron season went as well as any year that he has been in charge of the program. Darst — who is 7-8 alltime in playoff contests, which includes at least one victory in each of the last three postseasons — also mentioned that a lot of this year’s successes came from having like-minded individuals that were all aiming for a greater cause. “Honestly, it’s just been another one of the great football seasons for us here at Point Pleasant. This group has really responded the way we wanted them to, and what can I say about a great group of senior class of kids that have never lost a regular season game?” Darst said. “This year has been what we have called a fun football season for us. There haven’t been any issues and the kids are just having fun playing football. They are all just such good friends on this team.” One of the major keys for the Big Blacks this fall has been its ability to claim leads in the ﬁrst half of games. Point Pleasant has outscored opponents 282-50 before halftime this year, which includes a 128-9 advantage in the opening quarter of those 10 games. PPHS has nearly a 2-to-1 edge in ﬁrst downs (200106) and is also plus-17 in turnover differential on the season. The Big Blacks have also outgained opponents by a 4,620-2,388 overall margin in total yards of offense, which includes a sizable 3,163-1,289 advantage in rushing yards. And with a group hungry to get back on the ﬁeld for yet another postseason game, Darst noted that his troops are eager for Friday night to get here. “The kids have picked it up a little bit this week in practice because they are excited to be playing in a playoff game,” Darst said. “I think the expectations are pretty high for us this postseason and the guys are already ﬁred up and ready to go. It’s that time of year when you have to buckle down, play a little harder and be a bit more focused on the task at hand.” The task at hand, this week, is North Marion — which ﬁnished the 2016 campaign with its ﬁrst winning record in more than a decade. The Huskies (6-4) — who previously won state titles in 1980, 1981 and 1997 — will also be making their ﬁrst postseason appearance since the 2002 season. The Silver and Black outscored opponents this year by a 330-226 overall margin, which also included one shutout victory over Preston (41-0) back in Week 5. The Huskies own a 1-3 record against playoff teams this fall, with the lone win coming against Class A opponent Buckhannon-Upshur (35-14) in Week 3. NMHS dropped decisions to playoff qualiﬁers Fairmont Senior (37-15), Bridgeport (35-7) and Lincoln (56-49), as well as losing a 40-30 contest against Robert C. Byrd back in Week 9. The Huskies — who have 22 seniors on their roster — have lost three of their Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Point Pleasant quarterback Cason Payne (7) releases a pass attempt during a Week 4 football contest against Logan at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. last four decisions entering postseason play. Senior quarterback Kyle Elliott (5-foot-11, 165 pounds) has been the main offensive weapon for the Huskies after producing more than 2,000 yards of total offense this season. Elliott has rushed 136 times for a team-high 700 yards to go along with 13 touchdowns. The senior has also completed 82-of155 passes for 1,375 yards, throwing 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions. T.J. Starsick (5-7, 140) is the team’s second leading rusher with 328 yards and three touchdowns on 68 attempts, followed by Adam Gaines (5-10, 160) and Tanner King (5-11, 155) with respective rushing totals of 195 and 188 yards. Brett Mays (5-9, 170) is the Huskies’ top wideout with 24 catches for 522 yards and eight touchdowns. Zach McIntire (6-1, 180) is next with 23 grabs for 395 yards and six scores, while Micah Parrish (6-0, 170) has 14 grabs for 160 yards. Darst noted that with a dual-threat quarterback and a handful of offensive weapons spread around, North Marion reminds him an awful lot of a team that he knows all too well — his own. “What people need to know is that we have a really good football team in North Marion coming in here. They have played some really good football teams and they are in the playoffs for the ﬁrst time in a long time, so they will be excited to be here,” Darst said. “Honestly, North Marion runs a lot of our stuff offensively — I’d guess close to somewhere around ninety percent of what we use on offense. “The good thing is that our defensive guys see a lot of their offense in practice every day, but they also score a lot of points using that offense. It will be interesting to see how well we can defend our own offense.” The Big Blacks own an all-time record of 8-13 in the postseason and also have a career mark of 45-5 at OVB Field, which includes a 7-3 record in the playoffs. PPHS has also won 17 of its last 18 decisions in the friendly conﬁnes of home. Darst believes that opening the playoffs at OVB Field will pay huge dividends for his troops, given the familiarity of going through regular routines at home. He also thinks that having the 12th man at his advantage won’t hurt as the night progresses either. “Being at home to start the playoffs is an advantage, and I really feel that it is a big advantage for us because of the atmosphere seems to be a little more heightened than it is in other places,” See OPENER | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, November 11, 2016 7 Spartans’ fall could Manfred: Trump should not impact MLB internationally looks of anguish on their to another.” A hearing is proprietary Cardinals’ Ariz. be Big Ten’s biggest (AP)SCOTTSDALE, information in the Astros’ scheduled for Nov. 14. faces. — Baseball Com“I think that it is usual- database.

The Spartans won the conference championship last season for the second time in three years and appeared in the College Football Playoff. Final record: 12-2, including 7-1 in Big Ten games. This year they’re 2-7 and 0-6 in the conference. With East Division contenders Ohio State and Penn State the ﬁnishing opponents, Michigan State’s best and perhaps last chance at a Big Ten victory comes Saturday when Rutgers, also winless in the Big Ten, visits Spartan Stadium. “It’s amazing when you really take it into context where we’re at right now compared to where we were at last year,” coach Mark Dantonio said. “But that’s reality. Reality sets in on you.” The most stunning drop-off by a defending champion occurred in 1934 with coach Harry Kipke’s Michigan team. The Wolverines won the 1932 and ‘33 national titles under the Dickinson System, a widely respected formula for crowning champions in that era. Those teams combined to go 15-0-1, outscore opponents 254-30 and record 11 shutouts. A spate of injuries hit in 1934, and the two-time defending conference champion went 1-7 overall and 0-6 in the Big Ten. The Wolverines were outscored 143-21 and shut out ﬁve times. “In ‘32 and ‘33, we were undefeated, and then in ‘34 we had a tough, tough year,” Ford, the team most valuable player who became the 38th U.S. president, told the Michigan Daily in 1994. “In those years, our offense was called ‘a punt, a pass, and a prayer.’ We had an outstanding passer, Bill Renner, who broke an ankle before the season started. Our punter, John Regeczi, was the greatest college punter I ever saw and he ruined his knee. All we had left was the prayer.” The 2016 Spartans, like the ‘34 Wolverines, have been hard-hit by injuries. They’ve played three quarterbacks and have had different starting lineups on offense and defense every game. Their famously strong defense is giving up 30 points a game and ranks last in the Big Ten in red-zone defense and sacks. “We had very high goals coming into this season. I do not think our goals should have been less than they are. I just don’t,” Dantonio said. “You can’t go to a College Football Playoff, win the Big Ten the last two out of three years, sit there and say, ‘Gee, guys, I hope we go 7-5.’ You can’t do that.” Right now, 7-5 would look pretty good. A look at some other notable falls for returning Big Ten champions: 1943 Ohio State: The Buckeyes went 9-1 and won their ﬁrst national title in 1942 under coach Paul Brown. World War II hit the roster hard the next season and the so-called “Baby Bucks” were able to return only ﬁve players and one starter from the championship team. They were overmatched against most opponents and ﬁnished 3-5 and seventh in the Big Ten at 1-4.

San Diego and Houston played a twogame spring training series this year in Mexico City, where the sport opened an ofﬁce last March and which Manfred has mentioned as a possible expansion site. Tampa Bay met Cuba’s national team in Havana on March 22, the ﬁrst visit to the island by a big league baseball club since 1999. MLB hopes to establish a process that would allow Cuban residents to sign big league contracts. “Haven’t heard anything with respect to the Cuba issue that would suggest that there’s going to be any change, and I think we’re all familiar with things he said about Mexico,” Manfred said Wednesday at the annual general managers meeting. “I think we need to wait and see what actually happens.” Team executives and agents discussing deals watched election coverage in shock Tuesday night in the Mbar off the central courtyard at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia, some with ing couple of weeks.

I am anxious to do that.” MEDICAL RECORDS Following the suspension of San Diego general manager A.J. Preller for 30 days without pay in September following an MLB investigation that concluded the Padres had withheld medical information from trade partners, requirements for sharing medical records will be enhanced. Preller was sanctioned after San Diego did not disclose records in a July deal that sent All-Star lefthander Drew Pomeranz to Boston. MLB and the union instituted an electronic medical records system in 2010. “It was largely kind of left to a committee of athletic trainers to determine the types of records each club should maintain, how they’re maintained. We’re going to formalize it a little more and are contemplating issuing ﬁrm guidance in terms of what has to be in, what has to be out,” Halem said. “I think this was coming irrespective of the issues we had this season.” Friday tipoff means fresh start for coaches By Aaron Beard “We’ve hit the ground running as fast as we can,” Stallings said.

Bailey’s life of service took him around the world. Still, more than 70 years after beginning his time with the Navy, Bailey can recall the events and dates as if they were yesterday. Asked how he could remember all of the details, Bailey explained that he lived through it and that it is something that you never forget. After completing boot camp, Bailey was deployed to the South Paciﬁc as part of the United States efforts in the region during World War II. After refueling stops at several locations along the way and passing through the Panama Canal, the ship Bailey was on landed in New Guinea, in the South Paciﬁc Ocean. Bailey was bonded navy mail clerk, which came with knowledge of things that many in the military and the public would not have known. Bailey explained that he had to have security clearance for the position, as he needed to know routes and plans for ships as much as two weeks in advance in order to ensure that mail was delivered when the ships and soldiers arrived at their destinations. It was Bailey’s ability to recall information and details that was important in this position. Letters and packages took about a month to ‘We had to have back up people, it’s how we won the war.’ James Bailey get from soldier to home and home to soldier, meaning that word may not have always been quick to travel. Bailey explained that media coverage of war is not like it is today. During his time in the South Paciﬁc there was only one newspaper reporter working in the region. Telling of his time in New Guinea, which is half a degree off the equator, Bailey explained that it was so warm that you would shower and before you could reach for a towel you would be sweating again. While the front-line troops were the ones who were often recognized and honored, Bailey said that the others with the unit were also important, from medical personnel to those in the mess hall, post ofﬁce, and maybe most important to those in that area — water. A fresh water supply was something that was important to sustain the troops in the region. Bailey explained that there were numerous islands in the region and when looking at which ones to be on, the military would look for fresh water sources such as waterfalls to determine if the island had a viable water source to be utilized. “You can’t go into the jungle without water,” said Bailey. When the troops would go in for an invasion, Bailey explained, that the troops, tanks or other weaponry would go in James Bailey the ﬁrst wave, followed by the second wave which was made up of the hospital, mess hall and post ofﬁce. “We had to have back up people, it’s how we won the war,” said Bailey. During his time in New Guinea, Bailey explained that he never left the shoreline, never seeing a house, only shacks, for the year and a half he was there. He said that the Japanese who were targeting the U.S. soldiers used poison darts and practiced head hunting. After New Guinea, Bailey was stationed on Los Nergos Island with the Navy 3205 Repair Unit. It was there that the Navy had two dry docks where they could work on ships, which could no longer go to Pearl Harbor for repairs after the attacks in December 1941. Bailey explained that at one time two Japanese planes attempted to bomb the area, but one of the bombs they dropped went into the empty dry dock, therefore causing no damage to ships or repair equipment. In the jungle region, malaria was a concern for the soldiers and there was no vaccine available for it. Bailey said there was two pills which those stationed there would take each day to help prevent it. Bailey returned home in March of 1946, having volunteered for the duration of the war, plus-six months. He came home as a Mailman 2nd Class, having spent one year, nine months and eight days with the Navy. After working toward his education upon returning, Bailey graduated high school on May 20, 1948, and joined the Air Force on the 21st. It was with the Air Force that he would go to radar school, also completing the instructor training. During the Korean War, Bailey explained that he was told he was more important stateside teaching radar. In 1953, Bailey was sent to Saudi Arabia as a communications adviser to the Saudi Air Force, spending a little over a year there. He was one of 10 who went. The men lived in one of the king’s houses. While there, they were not permitted to carry guns or ﬂy the American ﬂag. They were to be protected by the Saudi military. While there he was able to travel in the region, spending Christmas of 1953 in Jerusalem, going to the garden tomb, Mt. Olive, Jericho, Bethlehem and other locations. In Cairo, Egypt on New Years Day 1954 he went to the national museum, seeing artifacts from King Tut’s tomb which had been discovered not long before that. In Baghdad, Bailey said they never left the airport and he never saw an automobile. He noted that some of the food was different, having ate camel steak and water buffalo steak. After leaving Saudi Arabia, Bailey was stationed in Columbus with the 91st armament and electronic maintenance squadron. With that unit he traveled to Newfoundland, an island off the coast of Canada. Looking for a Master Sgt. with eight years remaining to work on guidance of the Jupiter missile, Bailey, who had seven years, eight months service remaining was selected and sent to Huntsville, Alabama. He was then deployed to Italy as a guidance adviser to the Italian Air Force. Returning back stateside to Witchita, Kansas, Bailey was part of the crew for the Titan2 missile. On Sept. 1, 1966, Bailey retired from the Air Force, returning home to Bashan. Bailey ended his career as an E9, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. Bailey, three of his brothers and a brother-in-law all served overseas during war time. Today, Bailey, who is nearly 90, resides in Bashan in a house on the same property where he grew up, and continues to serve his community as a 50 year member of the Bashan Volunteer Fire Department. He is also a member of VFW Post 9053, DAV 53, American Legion Post 128 and TREA (Washington). P.O.

STEWART-JOHNSON AND SMITH-CAPEHART POSTS Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 of Mason. Serving veterans in the Bend Area of Mason County By Mindy Kearns #:/-3+6�>9�>2/�"/13=>/< BEND AREA — They once served our country in various branches of the U.S. military, and as members of the Veterans of Foreign War and American Legion, they continue to serve our veterans and our communities. The Bend Area has two veteran organizations, including the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 of Mason and the Smith-Capehart American Legion Post 140 of New Haven. Each conducts many activities on their own, but also joins forces for several others. According to Ray Varian, senior vice commander of the Mason V.F.W., the post is involved in many children and teen activities. Members help with Special Olympics and hold a Christmas party for the participants in December. On the high school level, the V.F.W. sponsors the “Patriots Pen” and “Voice of Democracy” contests each year at Wahama High School. Members also provide ﬁfteen $500 scholarships to area seniors. The V.F.W. chooses and honors top community leaders annually, as well. Teachers, police ofﬁcers and ﬁrst responders are among those celebrated. Of course, fellow veterans remain a main focus of the organization, Varian said. Members visit the veterans nursing home in Barboursville four times a year, and support the Wounded Warriors of West Virginia organization. The New Haven American Legion also supports students in the area. The Legion and its auxiliary sends chosen Wahama students to both the Mountaineer Boys State and Rhododendron Girls State events. Parties are held for children at Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Scholarships are given to senior students in area high schools. Dave Sigman, Legion commander, said the organization donates to many groups and events throughout the year, especially if it beneﬁts youth. Little leagues, schools, ﬁre departments, and the Town of New Haven are among donation recipients. The Legion normally holds two American Red Cross blood drives each year. The group also supports fundraisers for those with serious illnesses. Together, the V.F.W. and Legion join to place wreaths on veteran monuments and hold services on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Over 900 small American ﬂags are placed on veteran graves yearly by the groups, and rites were performed at over 45 military funerals last year. Both help veterans with claims and the process of obtaining Veterans Administration healthcare. They also join for ﬂag raising ceremonies at each Wahama ballgame, and hold a Veterans Day program for students at New Haven Elementary School yearly. The V.F.W. meets the sec- ond and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. Ofﬁcers include Milford Mowrey, commander; Varian, senior vice commander; Randy VanMeter, junior vice commander; Bob Caruthers, quartermaster; and Danny Harbour, adjutant. The Legion meets the second Wednesday of each month at 8 p.m. Ofﬁcers there are Sigman, commander; Darrell Petry, ﬁrst vice commander; Clyde Weaver, second vice commander; Denver R. Gibbs, adjutant; Ronnie D. Roush, ﬁnancial ofﬁcer; Ralph Ross, chaplain; Danny F. Roush, sergeantat-arms; Roy Shinn, judge adjutant; and Jaron Cundiff, historian. Both organizations are accepting new members. �38.C��/+<8=�3=�+�0<//6+8-/�A<3>/<�09<� �239�&+66/C� ?,63=2381�A29�63@/=�38� �+=98��9?8>C�+8.�-+8�,/�</+-2/.�+>� 738.C5/+<8�Ľ29>7+36L-97L Jim’s Farm Equipment Inc.

Ernest Bush was not concerned at the time about receiving recognition for his service, but rather returning home to Meigs County following his service. On Oct. 29, 2016, more than 70 years after separating from active duty, Bush ﬁnally received his Purple Heart award. A native of Racine, Bush graduated from Racine High School in 1940, and married Flossie Manuel on Aug. 10, 1940. On Sept. 28, 1942, Bush joined the U.S. Army and was separated from active duty on Dec. 11, 1945. Bush was stationed with the 106th Calvary Squadron deployed in Normandy, Northern France, in February 1944 where he earned his Purple Heart. The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the United States armed forces who are “wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action,” according to the Military Order of the Purple Heart website. It is speciﬁcally a combat decoration. The Purple Heart is one of the most recognized and respected awards, as well as being one of the nation’s oldest, said Mick Williams who Cpl. Ernest Bush receives his Purple Heart from his brother and fellow World War II veteran Charles Bush. spoke during the ceremony for Bush. In addition to the Purple Heart, Bush has received six awards for his military service during World War II. His awards include the Good Con- duct Medal, American Campaign Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and Triple Bronze Star, World War II Victory Medal, Honorable Service Lapel Button for World War II, and the Marksman Badge and Carbine Bar. After returning to Racine following his military service, Bush worked at Letart Falls Cemetery and Landmark Feed Company, where he retired. He is currently a resident of Overbrook Nursing Home in Middleport where the Purple Heart ceremony took place. Bush’s niece Peggy Gibbs told those at the ceremony that when spending time with “Uncle Ernie” he would talk about his time in the war and told stories, including those about Normandy Beach, recalling the information “like it was last week.” Gibbs recalled having asked Bush if he was scared during his service to which he replied “you would have been crazy not to be scared.” Bush is the son of the late Constance and Roy Bush, who saw ﬁve of their sons serve in the military. Charles Bush, Ernest’s brother, recalled their father having told the story that he had an experience with the Lord at the very time Ernest Bush was wounded in Normandy. He said their father told them he knew someone in his family had been injured and asked God to send someone to carry them off the battleﬁeld because he could not be there to do so himself. Veterans organizations assisting in the ceremony were American Legion Posts 39, 602, 128 ad 140, VFW Posts 9053 and 9926, DAV Post 53. Also acknowledged at the ceremony were other veterans currently residing at Overbrook, including, Melvin Drummond, Charles Hoffman, Tom Anderson, Shirley Miller, Elizabeth Pickens, Warren Stearns, Ross Warren, Carl Weimann and Keith Woods. #+<+2��+A6/Cl#/8>38/6 Numerous veterans, friends and family members were in attendance for the ceremony.

Epling is a Mason County Commissioner, former Mason County Magistrate and Circuit Clerk, and a past National Commander of the American Legion - because of the latter, he still gets Christmas cards from The White House each year, no matter who is in it. Like his father and uncle before him, Epling is also a veteran, and when he was 18 years old, he received his draft notice, deciding to go ahead and enlist. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps and was sent to Vietnam shortly after enlisting in 1968. At ﬁrst, he was part of a reactionary force whose duty was to ﬂy into hot spots on helicopters to assist fellow soldiers who needed help. Then, he was sent to the Third Battalion 7th Marines ground unit in 1969, though it was a fateful day in March of that year that has affected the rest of his life, but it didn’t deﬁne it. Epling remembers March 15, 1969 very well. He said he and his unit were ambushed when a bomb operated with some kind of remote control device went off. “When I got to it, they (the enemy) blew it,” Epling said, saying he remembers being thrown “up” and then coming down. “I knew what was going on the whole time,” he explained, saying he remembers being medevaced to a ﬁeld hospital for treatment and didn’t lose track of time until the lights came on in the operating room. That fateful March day, there were two men killed and two more Help Right Here At Home Mesothelioma • Lung Cancer Wrongful Death nd 740-992-6368 200 E. 2 �6WUHHW�3RPHUR\��2+�Ř�WHQODZ#VXGGHQOLQNPDLO�FRP Miles Epling wounded in the ambush. When Epling awoke from those operating room lights, he said he could only see one set of toes under the sheet - a nurse then explained to him that they’d taken part of his leg. From there, he was sent to the USS Repose which was a ﬂoating hospital ship. While on the vessel, he was relieved to ﬁnd a familiar face, Bob Chapman, a Navy corpsman from Mason County. The two had worked together at Tiny’s grocery store in Kanauga, Ohio. It is a small world after all (even for two boys from Mason County) and perhaps there are no coincidences? One day Epling said he saw Chapman approaching with the chaplain and he knew it wasn’t good. He was told they would need to take his other leg. “Having someone there I knew from home helped,” Epling said “Someone from home made it a little better… you felt like you’d be alright. Bob, he’s the guy who saved my life. I probably wouldn’t have made it, if he wasn’t there.” Chapman has since passed away. Epling then went from Japan to a Naval hospital in Philadelphia where he was to learn how to walk again. It was here he received his “legs” again and said, when he put them on and stood for the ﬁrst time, he felt as tall as a “building.” He remembered there was a nurse at the hospital who practiced tough love and would “push us down” and tell those around the other amputees “don’t help him up…you’ve got to learn how to fall”…and get back up.

In contrast, while Epling was recuperating, he constantly received cards and letters from the entire county for support, something those from the larger cities didn’t quite grasp but could appreciate. “I can’t tell you how much that meant to me,” he said about hearing from people back home. Epling returned home to Mason County in 1969, a 19-year old who didn’t feel disabled in his head at a time when people with disabilities were misunderstood, to say the least. He went to college and then on to serving in public ofﬁce in Mason County and with the American Legion, where he remains the Commander of Post #23 in Point Pleasant. As for what it means to be a veteran in 2016, Epling said he’s bothered by the fact so many people don’t realize the country is still at war. “We’re at war today but how many people realize it?” He asked. “That bothers me. I say a prayer everyday for them (soldiers).” Epling said, though they are not physically there anymore, he can still feel his toes because the nerve endings remain, like memories and days in March. “It’s been an honor serving my country and county. I guess I’d do it again,” Epling supposed. “I’m still alive. A lot of my friends can’t say that. �9?<>/=C Miles Epling, a past National Commander of the American Legion, continues to speak across the state of West Virginia and beyond in support of veterans. �/>2�#/<1/8>l"/13=>/< Mason County Commissioner Miles Epling, pictured in the forefront, places his hand over his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance at a recent Mason County Commission meeting. u o Y k Than ans r e t e V HAFFELT’S MILL OUTLET, INC.

Deem joined the Army National Guard in 1983 while still in high school as he was working to ﬁgure out how to pay for college. He explained that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, as well as other relatives who had served in the armed forces. Deem’s father worked full-time for the National Guard and was in the Army at one time. “I kind of looked up to him and wanted to follow in his footsteps,” Deem said. Deem initially enlisted for six years with the National Guard unit out of Logan, Ohio, in ari defense artillery as a mechanic. Advancing up the ranks, Deem became an E6 Staff Sgt. When his six years were up he elected to sign another enlistment, this time in McConnlesville, Ohio as the Logan unit disbanded. After 11 years with the National Guard, Deem decided he wanted to further his education, ﬁnding out that through the West Virginia National Guard he could go to Marshall. Deem enlisted in the 3664th Maintenance Company out of Point Pleasant, W.Va. It was with that unit that he was deployed to Iraq in 2003 for a year. In 2006, Deem retired from the National Guard with 23 years of service. During his time with the National ‘I wanted to do that service.

And my son, Taylor, enlisted for four years in the Air Force.’ Tony Deem Guard, Deem traveled to locations across the United States and the world, including Luxenburg, Germany, a brief stop in Ireland, California and working in the command center during Hurricane Katrina. “Everything I did was basically to try and prove myself,” said Deem, adding that he retired as a Sgt. 1st Class, E7. “Back in my day, I graduated in 1984, there was 17 of us that went into the service,” said Deem of his graduating class. “Back then you were either going to college or the service or if you were fortunate you had a job.” “I wanted to do that service. My dad was in the service, my grandpa was in the service, my uncles. It had been in our family. And my son, Taylor, enlisted for four years in the Air Force,” said Deem of the family’s military tradition. “That was everything,” said Deem of his son enlisting in the military. “That was just a proud moment for me because another generation following in the footsteps of the one before.” The military is also where Deem met his wife, Wendy. “The ﬁrst female in an air defense artillery unit I met in Logan and that’s my wife. She was a hawk mis- Tony Deem is pictured holding letters he received during his tour in Iraq.

I just feel it’s important because you give back. That’s a hefty price tag sometimes,” said Deem. “Discipline, you learn your limits of things you didn’t think you could do that you can do.” “The one thing that I always take from it is that someone can have total authority over you and you have to respect it,” said Deem of serving in the military. “I think that’s one of the problems with our world today is we don’t respect authority.” Deem said his service had went full circle as when he ﬁrst joined the National Guard he spent six months at Fort Dix, N.J., including his 18th birthday, and Fort Dix was the location where his unit went before going to Iraq. Over his 23 years there were many changes along the way, from training to war tactics. In 1983 it was still based more on Vietnam, the training months and weekends were less controlled, more social gathering and you would do some training, explained Deem. Toward the end of his time in the National Guard the training weekends became more intense, with the National Guard expected to be fully integrated into the military and able to perform as the Army and other branches would. “The idea used to be that you go stateside and when an army unit would go overseas you would take over their base while that unit was deployed. It changed. You were not ﬁlling, you were going. Working side by side you were just another branch, another piece of the puzzle,” said Deem of the role of the National Guard. While things were different from the era in which Deem served and the one in which his father had been active duty, there was one thing that was the same. “My dad, when he was active duty, he served with the Big Red 1, 1st Infantry. Just so happened when I was in Iraq that’s who we fell under was the 1st Infantry,” said Deem.

In 2004-2005, Freeman deployed to Iraq as a platoon sergeant with what was then the Army’s C Company, 463rd Engineer Combat Battalion. Many in the area may also know Freeman as a wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District and a weekly contributor to The Sunday TimesSentinel with is outdoor column In the Open. When it came time to work on this edition, A Salute to Veterans, I knew each of us at the Ohio Valley Publishing papers would write stories about veterans in the area and their time in the military and since then. And while those stories are here too, this is not one of those. I recently asked Freeman to take time to reﬂect on what it means to be a Veteran in today’s world, not only for himself, but for those he served alongside, those who served before and have since served. I want to start by saying that I don’t consider myself a typical veteran ‘I will just say that I wouldn’t do it again for a million dollars, but I wouldn’t trade my memories for anything.’ Jim Freeman of the post-9/11 era. For one thing I am a bit older than most of them; I was 40-years-old during most of the year I spent as a platoon sergeant in Iraq — my soldiers were in some cases were barely half my age. Being a veteran, what does Freeman see when looking at today’s veterans. For one thing, you won’t see them hanging around with the vets down at the VFW or American Legion. There are some, to be sure, but most of them do not associate with other veterans other than their own battle buddies. That may be because the newer generation of veterans represent a much smaller percentage of the general population than those veterans of previous wars. I have read that something like one-half of one percent of all people in this country serve in the armed forces. I am sure that percentage is higher in some places, lower in others. All of today’s veterans were volunteers. This makes it easier for the general population to disregard their concerns since, after all, they volunteered for it — never minding that for many of these young people the military was their only opportunity to escape poverty. Today’s veteran is probably the best educated of any veteran in history. Very few people in today’s military do not have a high school diploma or the equivalent. Today’s veteran is far more likely to be a member of the National Guard or military reserves. The military today greatly depends on its reserve components for jobs that were once done by active duty service members. The biggest difference is that active, full-time military members return from a deployment to a base or post that offers the resources to assist newly returning veterans with their adjustment to “normal” life, and they go through the readjustment process with their battle buddies. Reserve component service members may get a small welcome home at the reserve center before being released to their families to cope on their own. That beings said, Freeman explained that going to war is a lot easier than coming back from war.

Over the course of a year I watched young men turn into old men; you could see it in their eyes, in the way they carried themselves. You can even see it in the photos I took. You don’t come back the same person, and that is probably the toughest part. I think most veterans expect to fall right back into their old routines, and it just doesn’t happen. You are someone else now, and until you accept that and learn to be the new you, it is going to be tough. Every single day in this country, somewhere around 20 to 22 veterans take their own lives. This is a national disgrace. Whatever we are doing to help these people isn’t working, and it is time to put politics and special interests aside to come up with meaningful solutions to helping these people readjust to a society that really doesn’t know what to do with them. In my county the Veterans Service Ofﬁce doesn’t even have a home. This is the ofﬁce that is dedicated to helping those people who have sacriﬁced the most for our country. It is small, underfunded, understaffed and underpaid — and we aren’t alone. If we as a nation or state paid even a little bit more to take care of the people who gave their youths and energy to this country, especially compared to what we pay those people who have contributed or sacriﬁced nothing, we probably wouldn’t have this problem. But they volunteered right? There has been no Valley Forge moment for most of today’s veterans, no Bastogne or Bataan Death March, but on the other hand, the nation has sent the same soldiers to war, over and over again, creating what is essentially a perpetual warrior class that gets remembered twice a year. I was reading the other day about a man who was killed in action on his 14th tour of duty. Since a tour is roughly six months, and a deployment is usually two tours, that means this guy was probably in his seventh actual year of war. This doesn’t count the time spent training and preparing, which was probably another seven years or more. The tempo: some soldiers were in combat literally every single day. There are no lines in today’s battleﬁeld, the line is essentially the wire that separates you from them. In 2005, my platoon was outside of the wire practically every day – not every single soldier, but at least some of them. Most of have heard the expression “If I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand.” That is true. In war, you have your buddy’s back. It is hard and stressful, but you make bonds that last a lifetime. I told my guys that we would be brothers forever. Having each other’s backs doesn’t end when you get your discharge papers. I tell today’s veterans to get involved, join a veterans organization, even if all you do is pay your dues, because I guarantee that most politicians in this country aren’t looking out for you. I will just say that I wouldn’t do it again for a million dollars, but I wouldn’t trade my memories for anything.

Ron Wroblewski joined the United States Marine Corps on April 10, 1963 and served as a ﬁeld radio operator in the Vietnam War until ﬁnishing his service time on October 4, 1966. That has not stopped him from serving his fellow veterans however. Wroblewski was born in Charleston, W.Va., but graduated from Gallia Academy High School. He married Cheryl Ann Salisbury, who would take his last name, and they would share three sons, one daughter and eight grandchildren. Wroblewski was awarded with a Lifetime Distinguished Veteran Award in June for his years of service in setting up veterans’ appreciation events as well as other activities. While having received many awards through his service, Wroblewski may be best known for his leadership roles in veterans’ organizations. Wroblewski has served as the founder and president of the West Virginia Marine Corps Coordinating Council, founder and president of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 949, commander of VFW Post 1064 and general chairman of the Veterans Committee for Civic Improvement. “From the time I was In honor of all Veterans...

Wroblewski was known for being a chief organizer of veterans appreciation events. Wroblewski would eventually start a campaign to get a U.S. Navy ship named after the only living Medal of Honor recipient in West Virginia - Hershel “Woody” Williams. Wroblewski would contact the Secretary of the U.S. Navy as well as send communications to the West Virginia Congressional Delegation. Wroblewski would petition veteran and civic organizations to send support for the cause. On January 14, 2016 in Charleston, W.Va. supporters attended a ceremony where it was announced that the USNS Hershel Williams was going to be launched in San Diego, Calif., in 2017. Wroblewski said he started getting more involved with veterans organizations around the mid-1990s. He knew Ron Wroblewski the 50th anniversary of World War II was coming and checked around various areas in Huntington, W.Va. and had heard little interest, according to him, that an event be put together to memorialize the occasion. “I kept thinking we can’t just ignore this,” said Wroblewski. “We can’t just ignore this. This is a signiﬁcant date. September 2, 1995 was 50 years from the date the (Japanese) signed the surrender on the USS Missouri.” Wroblewsi would approach an organization called the Veterans Committee for Civic Improvement and share his concern. The group appointed him as chairman of the memorial efforts. “That’s how I got started,” said Wroblewski. “They threw me in the deep end and things just kind of continued from there.” Wroblewski said he had around six to seven weeks to work on his event ideas. Wroblewski said, at the time, he and his colleagues were eventually able to organize the largest military memorial parade in Huntington. �/+8�'<312>�-+8�,/�</+-2/.�+>� � �[ [ M�/B>L� �� L Thank You!!!

Learning to lead By Dean Wright ./+8A<312>Ľ-3@3>+=7/.3+L-97 GALLIPOLIS — It is well known that the United States military supports post secondary education efforts through the GI Bill as well as teaching enlisting people a variety of schools ranging from not only how to operate weaponry but also how to handle high tech communication gear as well as advanced watercraft piloting. However, some would argue the most sought after skill in today’s job market is leadership. First Sgt. Don Walker has made a life of learning and implementing the skill of leadership since he ﬁrst joined the U.S. Army in 1990 when he was 20 years old. He ﬁrst served as a Watercraft Operator and retired in 2010 after serving 20 years in the military. Walker served two tours in Iraq. From 2010 to 2014, he served as a civilian ofﬁcer with the federal government. After being a watercraft operator, Walker would eventually go to battle staff school and take blue force tracker training and would serve as a battle captain and oversee convoy travel during the war in Iraq. Walker would take advantage of the military’s training and schooling opportunities and earn a Master’s Certiﬁcate in Biometric Identity Management from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., and then go on toe earn his Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security from the American Military University. Walker currently resides with his wife Jennifer and their family in Gallipolis. Walker is originally from Virginia Beach, Va. He would eventually follow his wife back to her native home of Gallia County when he retired from government work. Walker currently works with his ‘That’s what leading is. It’s influencing people to do things that they didn’t think they could do personally.’ Don Walker wife as part of their business Osmosis Marketing Solutions as a consultant for private businesses. He currently serves as a contractor with Rocket VII Interactive as its Director of Growth Strategy and Development. “I used to lead 200 soldiers on a daily basis for several years,” said Walker. “That’s all marketing and sales is. It’s inﬂuencing people. That’s what leading is. It’s inﬂuencing people to do things that they didn’t think they could do personally.” Walker said he believes the most valuable skill he learned in the military was leadership. Walker said he believes leadership is part talent and part natural talent. “To be able to lead people and inﬂuence them above and beyond their own capabilities, that’s what a leader does,” Walker said. “You should believe in (people). People can have a fear over anything. They fear when they have to do something out of their comfort zone. It’s about getting people passed that initial fear. You have to read people and listen to them. You guide them and counsel them. I used to have to counsel soldiers. You talk to them and get an idea of where they come from. We used to do that every 30 days, counsel soldiers, so over time you would learn about them and know the inside of them and help them move passed their fears.” Walker said at the end of the day leadership is “about helping people believe in themselves.” �/+8�'<312>�-+8�,/�</+-2/.�+>�� [ [ M�/B>L� �� L SFS TRUCK SALES 2150 Eastern Ave Gallipolis, OH 45631 Thank You Veterans For Your Service Manufacturer of Pro Haul Dumpbodies Complete Line of Light and Heavy Duty Truck Parts Repairs on All Makes of Trucks and Trailers Chrome Accessories (740) 446-0351 60689531 60689310 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
