ODOT officials say the closure is only for 12 hours. The truck accident on Sept. 16 cause plenty of traffic woes when the arm of a backhoe on the back of a truck struck the last beam of the overpass. The truck was headed north on Ohio 7 at the time of the accident. When the impact occurred, ODOT officials said hydraulic lines on the backhoe were severed and hydraulic fluid spilled onto Ohio 7. Bridge inspectors closed the bridge as a safety precaution while they evaluated the strength of the damaged beam. No injuries were reported in the incident. For folks traveling southbound, use Ohio 735 to U.S. 35, then over to Ohio 160 back to Ohio 7. For those traveling northbound, use Ohio 160 to U.S. 35, then to Ohio 735 and back to Ohio 7.

Three arrested in meth lab bust By Donald Lambert elambert@civitasmedia.com RACINE — Three people have been arrested following a bust at a suspected methamphetamine lab in Meigs County. Terri L. Carmichael, 57, of Racine; Mark W. Russell, 42, of Portland; and Susan G. Evans, 42, of Portland, were arrested Wednesday after Meigs County deputies received information that methamphetamine was allegedly being produced at a residence on Bucktown Road in Racine. Deputies obtained a search warrant for the property and, upon arrival at the residence, Russell allegedly discovered Carmichael, Russell and Evans using methamphetamine. All three were then taken into custody and searched, at which time a loaded handgun and suspected methamphetamine was discovered on Russell, according to police. During a search of the residence and vehicles, two suspected one-pot methamphetamine labs were Evans located, as well as numerous chemicals to produce methamphetamine. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office was assisted on the scene by the Middleport Police Department, Racine Volunteer Fire Department and Meigs County Emergency Medical Services. Carmichael and Evans are currently being held at the Middleport Jail on Carmichael charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and possessing chemicals to produce methamphetamine. Russell is also being held at the Middleport Jail on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine, possessing chemicals to produce methamphetamine, and possessing a firearm under disability. Sheriff Keith O. Wood said deputies have been locating discarded one-pot methamphetamine labs along roadways in Meigs County. Wood also said the department was in the process of cracking down on labs around the area. Wood said if citizens spot any type of suspicious bottle or devices to contact the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office at 740-992-3371. — NEWS Obituaries: 2A Opinion: 4A Weather: 6A — SPORTS Basketball: 1B Schedule: 1B — FEATURES Television: 4B Classifieds: 5B Comics: 3C JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Middleport begins sewer cleanup By Donald Lambert elambert@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — Middleport’s sewers are getting a much needed cleaning, according to Mayor Michael Gerlach. Gerlach said Friday that water sediment had started blocking off Middleport’s sewers until they became clogged, causing problems for residents. The sediment had been building because of decades of neglect. The Village of Middleport had been discussing a solution for their sewer problems for many months. The solution came in the form of a sewer vacuum from O’Brien JVLT, thanks to a grant the village had been able to obtain with no additional cost to the village. Previously, the only way to try to correct the issue was to use a “jetter,” a device that blows highpressure water at a blockage. The issue then became that the jetter would just move the blockage to another location and not resolve the problem. “Removing the debris corrects the problem,” Gerlach said. “It increases the capacity of our sewer system and insures proper flows.” Gerlach said the vacuuming would make it possible to then run a sewage camera in and locate other issues that may need corrected whenever those issues would come up. “To have a contractor come in and clean the village’s sewers would cost thousands a day,” Gerlach said. Gerlach said the vacumming work would take place on Park and High streets.

Williams applied and got one of the kits from the West Virginia allotment. It included a total of 10,000 blocks. Williams added the Lego Club will be a yearround program and could even be expanded by adding extra days, if needed. “This is our starting point,” she said. “We’ll see where it goes from there.” Following each club meeting, the childrens’ creations will be displayed on top of the book shelves, out of reach, for about three weeks.

It is under the direction of Rachel Proffitt, and those participating will take home their large painting on canvas at the end of the evening. The first class will be held at the New Haven library on Tuesday, Feb. 10. According to Pam Thompson, library director, that class has already reached capacity simply by word of mouth. “We were looking for programming and wanted to get more adults involved,” Thompson said. “This is way beyond what we expected.” See PROGRAMS | 3A �LOCAL 2A Sunday, January 25, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel OBITUARIES DEATH NOTICES DOROTHY LUCILLE DAY POMEROY — Dorothy Lucille Day, 83, of Pomeroy, passed away Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015.

OSU sets tuition rate for new students Programs From Page 1A The director said the class maximum is 35 participants, and although the first one is filled, another one is already on the schedule for March. Registration for the second class will open soon. Thompson said the program will be offered until summer, when it will break until fall. The cost is $35, which includes all materials. She said the library is not making a profit from the classes, but simply paying for the materials. Thompson also said if interest is shown, a class might be offered at the Point Pleasant location. Those attending the classes are invited to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, and the library will also provide some light refreshments. While the February picture to be painted was chosen by the library staff, Thompson said she will ask those participating in the first class for ideas on what to offer for March. For more information on library services and programs, call the Point Pleasant library at 304-6750894, or any of the branches at New Haven, Mason, or Hannan. president of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio. In addition, both Ohio Northern University and Ashland University announced huge cuts in tuition in 2013. The plan means new students next fall will pay $11,548 in tuition, compared with $10,748 paid by returning students whose tuition goes up 2 percent. The university says the bills would balance out over four years because students not paying the guaranteed rate would also pay $1,896 more over four years in extra fees not currently included in tuition. Those same fees are wrapped into the locked-in rate. Whether the plan offers a long-term deal for new students depends on the upcoming state budget and whether lawmakers keep a 2 percent cap, raise it or lower it. A mandate setting tuition increases below 2 percent would mean new Ohio University students would be locked in at higher rates than students at other schools. Trustee David Wol- WELCOME ATHENS (AP) — Ohio University trustees are softening the blow of hefty tuition and campus housing increases for new students next year by guaranteeing the rates won’t rise again during the students’ four years on campus. Tuition for new students would go up 5.1 percent under the plan, with increases of 5.3 percent for campus housing and 1.5 percent for meal plans. Total annual costs under the plan are $22,400, The Columbus Dispatch reported Friday. The deal is part of the university’s “Ohio Guarantee,” a four-year tuition freeze announced last year to help remove uncertainty over college costs. The guarantee is the first offered by one of the state’s 13 public colleges and universities, though some private colleges have similar guarantees, such as Hiram University in northeastern Ohio and the University of Dayton, the newspaper reported. Ohio University’s approach differs because it covers more than tuition. Capital, Ohio Christian, Otterbein and Wittenberg universities are among private schools with tuition freezes, said C. Todd Jones, fort questioned raising tuition so much when the university’s finances are relatively good. Several dozen students protested the guarantee and the plan to raise tuition by 2 percent for returning students. “We see a nauseating lack of effort to put accessibility in higher education as any kind of a priority,” said Megan Marzec, president of the OU Student Senate. The university has received about 18,800 applications, up a few hundred from this point last year, said president Roderick McDavis. HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall University’s health informatics program now offers a new accelerated master’s degree (AMD) which began this spring semester. Health informatics, an evolving specialization that links information technology, communication and health care, seeks to improve the quality and safety of patient care, according to the program’s director, Dr. Girmay Berhie. “We have partnered with the department of integrated science and technology (IST) to offer our accelerated master’s degree in health informatics,” Berhie said. “This new degree will provide these students the opportunity to graduate faster and earn a degree that can help them to get a job with a salary range from $60,000 to $125,000 a year.” Brian Morgan, chairman of the integrated science and technology department, said the partnership between the IST department and health informatics is the perfect collaboration for students who want to turn their skills into something marketable upon graduation. “Our department prides itself on being an applied program and the hands-on nature in which we structure our classes,” Morgan said. “This was a way to give students the same skills in five years instead of six years, which saves time and money. The AMD program is a win-win situation for everyone involved and we are happy to be a part of it.” Nikki Spence, 27, of West Hamlin, W.Va., is one of the first students to take advantage of the new accelerated master’s program. Spence said programs like these demonstrate the university’s commitment to providing educational opportunities that best fit students’ needs. “This partnership will definitely give Marshall an advantage over other institutions. With the cost of tuition and the growing concern of student debt, students want to graduate as early as possible while still receiving a quality education,” Spence said. “Students in IST will already be proficient in many key technology areas such as database, programming and web development. These skills will give them an advantage in upcoming health informatics courses, as well as add to their marketability later when searching for jobs.” To learn more about the programs and services offered through Marshall’s IST department, visit www.marshall.edu/isat.

We strive to resolve consumer complaints with a service-oriented approach and, every year, we identify the top 10 categories of complaints. Before I list 2014’s “top 10,” here are some examples of how we protected Ohio consumers: In Erie County, a used car dealership failed to deliver titles to consumers who purchased vehicles from them. My office filed a lawsuit against them, resulting in a judgment ordering the business to reimburse the state $37,455 and pay a $25,000 penalty. Mike A Monroe County consumer conDeWine tacted us after the flooring she had Ohio Attorney paid for came loose less than a year General after it was installed and the company refused to return and evaluate the problem. Within days of our office intervening, the company corrected the problem and the consumer was elated. “They came right out and fixed everything,” she said. “Without your help they would never have even returned a call to me.” A Mahoning County consumer paid $3,900 for what turned out to be shoddy asphalt repairs. We determined that the company’s contract did not comply with Ohio law. Within three weeks of filing a complaint, the consumer received a full refund and was grateful to our office for the speedy resolution. My office filed a lawsuit against a Cincinnatibased discount drug service that racked up numerous complaints and cost consumers — many of whom were elderly and low-income — thousands of dollars by making unauthorized debits to their bank accounts. Sometimes we help safeguard Ohio consumers by cooperating with other states and the federal government to enforce consumer and antitrust laws. For example, after my office spearheaded an investigation into claims that Sirius XM Radio engaged in misleading advertising and billing practices, Ohio, 44 additional states, and the District of Columbia accepted a $3.8 million settlement from the corporation. In another case, Ohio, the remaining 49 states, and the District of Columbia reached a $105 million settlement with AT&T Mobility LLC to resolve allegations that consumers’ cell phone bills had been subjected to the “mobile cramming” of unauthorized charges. While we respond to consumer complaints and react when they’re victimized, we also try to empower consumers with the knowledge and the tools they need to protect themselves. For example, we created the Attorney General’s Used Car Buyer Checklist to help consumers determine facts about a dealer’s reputation, a vehicle’s history and condition, how to review a written contract, and tips on car repairs. In addition, we conduct hundreds of workshops every year to inform Ohioans about their rights as consumers, warn them about scams, and build awareness and cooperation to combat fraud. As I mentioned, we analyzed all the consumer complaints we received during 2014. Among those we fielded last year, the top 10 categories were:Motor vehicles Collections, credit reporting, or financial services Household goods or property improvement Internet, phone, or TV services Professional services Shopping, food, or beverages Do Not Call violations Identity theft Health and beauty Utilities Whether a conflict between an Ohio consumer and a business is a local dispute or crosses state lines, my office will work to help resolve the issue.

THEIR VIEW Preserving improvements essential The past year has seen the most dramatic shift in decades in health care coverage for Ohioans and the role of hospitals in our local communities. As a member of the Ohio Hospital Association, I saw Dr. C. firsthand how providing Meyer health coverage for an addi- For the Register tional 451,000 Ohioans through Medicaid in 2014 is impacting the ability of working people to stay healthy and on the job. It also means Ohio hospitals, as the direct employer of more than 240,000 Ohioans, are able to sustain their community mission of improving the health of local residents while providing 24/7 care and responding to every disaster or new illness. We can’t afford to go back. Health care coverage means better health and better economic security for all of us. In this new year, preserving Medicaid coverage for hardworking Ohioans who have incomes too low to buy private insurance is key to keeping our state moving forward. Having coverage keeps employees at work and improves productivity. Access to earlier treatments and preventive care lowers the overall cost of health care for all Ohioans. At Holzer, we are committed to providing care to those individuals who have health coverage through Medicaid. Across our state, hospitals provide an important economic catalyst for their communities. Hospital jobs require a wide spectrum of skills and offer higher average pay scales than other industries. The health care field, including hospitals, contributes to the economic stability and viability of communities and stimulates demand for goods and services produced by other businesses. Ohio hospitals generated more than $24.1 billion in economic activity through annual wages, salaries and benefits for direct, indirect and induced employment. Hospitals are the backbone of the state’s health care sector, employing nearly 33 percent of Ohio’s health care workers and making up 39 percent of the health care sector’s annual payroll. In fact, 10 of the top 25 employers in Ohio are hospitals or health systems. Regionally, Southeast Ohio hospitals directly employ more than 15,000 workers and indirectly generate more than 6,000 additional jobs with a total impact of $1.1 billion. At Holzer Health System we employ 2,500 health care workers and provide our region with an annual payroll of $180 million. Ohio has made great strides in securing health care coverage for its citizens, which is keeping families healthy and workers on the job. Preserving Ohio’s recent Medicaid improvements is essential to our state’s continued prosperity. By Dr. Christopher Meyer is CEO and chairman of the Holzer Health System Board of Governors. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Sunday, Jan. 25, the 25th day of 2015. There are 340 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 25, 1915, America’s first official transcontinental telephone call took place as Alexander Graham Bell, who was in New York, spoke to his former assistant, Thomas Watson, who was in San Francisco, over a line set up by American Telephone & Telegraph. On this date: In 1533, England’s King Henry VIII secretly married his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who later gave birth to Elizabeth I. In 1890, reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) of the New York World completed a round-theworld journey in 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes. The United Mine Workers of America was founded in Columbus, Ohio. In 1915, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Coppage v. Kansas, upheld the right of employers to bar employees from belonging to labor unions by making them sign a “yellow dog contract.” In 1924, the first Winter Olympic Games opened in Chamonix, France. In 1945, the World War II Battle of the Bulge ended as German forces were pushed back to their original positions.

The Southern girls basketball team forced 25 turnovers and allowed just three field goals Thursday night as the Purple and Gold rolled to a 54-12 victory over TriValley Conference Hocking Division host South Gallia. The Lady Tornadoes (12-3, 9-2 TVC Hocking) forced 10 first quarter turnovers and stormed to an 11-4 lead through eight minutes of play. Southern held the Lady Rebels (4-10, 2-8) scoreless in the second period and the Purple and Gold cruised to a 33-4 halftime lead. Southern expanded the lead to 47-7 by the end of the third quarter and scored the first five points of the fourth to push the lead to a game-high 45 points. South Gallia marked its first field goal since the 1:50 mark of the first quarter with 50 seconds remaining in the game, but Southern claimed the 54-12 victory.

See LADIES | 4B Raiders outlast Gallia Academy, 52-42 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — The battle inside was ultimately decided away from the basket. The River Valley boys basketball team held visiting Gallia Academy to 19 percent shooting in the second half while also converting 10-of-12 fourth quarter free throws Friday night en route to a 52-42 victory in a non-conference matchup of Gallia County programs. There were three ties and a dozen lead changes in the contest, and each team held a lead at some point in each of the four quarters of play. The host Raiders (8-6), however, captured the lead permanently after Tyler Twyman hit a basket with 7:25 left for a 40-39 edge. That bucket sparked a 14-3 charge over the final seven-plus minutes of regulation, and the Blue Devils (3-13) mustered only one point over the final 4:33 as the Silver and Black went on to claim the 10-point triumph. It was River Valley’s first win over GAHS since January 21, 2012, which ended up being by a 62-54 count in Centenary. The Blue and White prevailed over RVHS in the two meetings since, prior to Friday night. As is the case in any rivalry, the win proved to be important for bragging rights and building confidence. For first-year RVHS coach Jeremy Peck, however, the victory signified a little bit more — a true sign of real growth in his ball club. “When we’ve played Gallia Academy in the past, we seem to get what we call the blue flu. We shut down and show weakness, usually our nerves getting the best of us,” Peck said. “Tonight, we believed and kept battling and never backed down, mainly because these kids wanted this one. “We’ve talked about this one all week, about staying focused on the task at hand when the tough times come.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound center gave the hosts fits after scoring 15 points in the first half alone, which kept the Blue Devils in contention as RVHS led 30-27 at halftime. Neither team led by more than two possessions in the opening 16 minutes of play, as River Valley captured the biggest lead of the first half at 12-6 with 3:58 left in the first canto. Gallia Academy, however, responded with a 9-0 charge to end the period with a 15-12 edge. Jarrell scored 12 seconds into the second stanza to give the guests their largest lead of the game at 17-12, but the Raiders answered with an 8-2 run to take a 20-19 lead with 4:42 remaining until the break. The hosts went on to extend their cushion out to 25-20 and 30-25, but Jarrell scored the final first half points with 57 seconds left — making it a one-possession game at intermission. Neither team led by more than three points in the third quarter, and the Blue Devils made a 10-4 run to claim a 37-34 edge with 2:25 left after a basket by Mike Putney. Justin Rusk, however, answered with a bucket 17 seconds later — which allowed the hosts to pull to within one (37-36) headed into the finale. Jarrell was held scoreless in the fourth, and the lead changed hands three times in a 35-second span to start the period. Twyman’s basket at the 7:25 mark put RVHS ahead for good and led to a mini 5-0 run that gave the hosts a 43-39 cushion with 6:05 remaining. Putney ended a threeminute scoreless drought for GAHS with a basket at the 4:34 mark, which allowed the guests to close to within 43-41. The Blue Devils, however, were never closer and went nearly four minutes without scoring again. River Valley would hit 7-of-8 free throws over the final 1:19, which turned a 45-41 cushion into a morecomfortable 52-42 advantage with 20.1 seconds left in regulation. Neither team scored the rest of the way, wrapping up the double-digit outcome. Jarrell — who finished the game with 17 points and four rebounds — was held without a field goal over the final 16:56 of the contest, most of which could be attributed to a change in strategy during halftime. “We didn’t front him in the first half, and that decision was my mistake, but we made the change to front him in the second See RAIDERS | 5B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, January 25, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel OVCS tops Lady Knights, 43-33 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — It’s not how you start something, but rather how you finish it.

A little TLC helps Pomeroy’s Mulberry Pond thrive By Jim Freeman In The Open One person can make a difference, but first someone has to care. A case in point is Mulberry Pond in Pomeroy, which for the past 10 years has benefitted under the watchful care and attention of Jim Smith, Middleport. I don’t know much about the history of Mulberry Pond (or Beech Grove Cemetery Pond as Jim says it is officially named) located along Mulberry Avenue in Pomeroy. However, it is visible in aerial photos of the area taken in 1959, so I would guess that it is about 60 years old or just a bit younger. More recently, many will recall that during the summer, the pond was nothing but a mess of green vegetation, totally covering the surface; not the sort of place you would want to fish, and definitely not a place where one would choose to spend quality time with the family. About 10 years ago, Jim entered into the story. He was living at The Maples in Pomeroy and he just wanted to be able to fish and enjoy the pond, which was literally a stone’s throw from the apartments. Smith explored all around the pond as well as upstream from it and found that many of the drains and culverts supplying the pond with water were full of debris and vegetation, and then worked with a local agency to get them reestablished. With a more reliable supply of fresh water, the algae took care of itself. Over the years he has worked with numerous officials including three Pomeroy mayors and two village clerks, and he has found them all to be supportive of his work on the pond. With their collaborative efforts and help from grants, local businesses and private donors, funding has come in for a variety of improvements. Those improvements include boardwalks, picnic tables, benches, a grill, trash cans, a parking lot, fencing and signs. It is not unusual to see families there at the pond when it is nice outside, fishing or eating on the picnic tables. The pond has also been the site of several fishing derbies and field trips. Jim is a common sight at the pond, and he frequently talks with visitors, who come from all over to visit or fish. Sometimes he takes photos of youngsters with their catches, hears many stories about the pond, and receives a good amount of justly deserved thanks for turning a former eyesore into something positive in the community. “I have accomplished my goals,” Smith says, adding that he told former Mayor John Musser that he wanted it fixed up for handicapped people and for families. Still he would like to see the boardwalk, or a gravel path extended around the entire pond, as well as additional benches for anglers, and a historical marker for Valentine B. Horton, an early industrialist of the Ohio River valley who is buried in the cemetery nearby. Now Jim feels that it is time to pass the torch to someone else who will look out for the pond as he has. This one-time eyesore has turned into a community asset mainly through his care, determi- nation, and yes, love. It happened with that pond, and it can happen with other things in our community as well – streams, roads, neighborhoods, parks – but first someone has to care, someone has to love them enough and then pass it along.

TV14 9 PM 9:30 10 PM tas and posted its third highest scoring output of the season, but that still wasn’t even close to enough firepower against visiting Wahama Thursday night during a 114-77 decision in a non-conference matchup of Mason County programs. The White Falcons (7-5) snapped a two-game losing skid in decisive fashion as the guests had all 11 players reach the scoring column while also posting at least 26 points in each of the four quarters of play. The Wildcats (3-10), conversely, mustered only 18 first half points before erupting for 59 points after the break. WHS got 11 points from Hunter Rose and had six different players score in the first quarter alone, which gave the guests a comfortable 28-10 cushion after eight minutes of play. Wahama followed with a 26-8 second period surge, which gave the Red and White a sizable 54-18 edge at the break. The defense completely disappeared in the second half, as both teams combined to score 64 points in the third stanza before finishing the final canto with 55 markers. There were also 18 successful three-pointers after halftime, 14 of which came from HHS. Wahama made a 34-30 run in the third for an 88-48 lead headed into the finale, then the guests made a 12-8 run over the opening 3:02 for a 100-56 edge. Rose hit a trifecta from the right wing at the 4:58 mark to get the White Falcons to the triple-digit mark. WHS claimed its largest lead of the night of 48 points after Rose hit a basket at the 4:15 mark for a 104-56 advantage. The Wildcats — who ultimately won the fourth quarter by a 29-26 margin — closed the final 3:52 of regulation with a 21-10 charge that wrapped up the 37-point outcome. Wahama had a halfdozen players reach double digits in scoring, led by Rose with 28 points. Noah Estep and Brent Larck were respectively next with 18 and 16 points, while Mason Hicks, Ryan Thomas and Philip Hoffman each contributed 10 markers.

All these guys had a role tonight and did it perfectly.” As for the rest, Gallia Academy netted just 5-of26 shot attempts in the second half — including a 1-of-15 floor effort in the finale. The Blue Devils missed their final 11 field goal tries and also came up empty on their final eight trifecta attempts. “Our execution just went bad in the fourth quarter, and I think the emotion of the game got to us down the stretch,” second-year GAHS coach Gary Harrison said afterwards. “We guarded the three well, but they really hurt us on dribble-drive for some easy shots. And honestly, we just didn’t make any shots when we needed them in the fourth quarter. “They didn’t really have an answer for Wes, but we didn’t really have anyone step up and make some outside shots to help free him up inside. Really, that has been an Achilles’ heel for us all year. We haven’t made the big shots outside when we’ve needed them.” The Raiders connected on 16-of-42 field goal attempts for 38 percent, including a 3-of-13 effort from three-point range for 23 percent. The hosts — who also missed their final eight trifecta attempts — committed only 10 turnovers, compared to 16 giveaways by Gallia Academy. Tyler Twyman led RVHS with a game-high 19 points, followed by Kirk Morrow with 15 points and Justin Rusk with nine markers. Rusk also hauled in a team-high nine rebounds for the victors. Jon Qualls and Jacob Dovenbarger also added five and four points respectively for the Raiders, who went 17-of-25 at the free throw line for 68 percent. Gallia Academy sank 17-of-55 shot attempts for 31 percent, which included a 1-of-11 effort from behind the arc for nine percent. The guests outrebounded the Raiders by a 34-27 overall margin, including an 11-5 edge on the offensive glass. Putney followed Jarrell with 15 points, followed by Alex White with four points and Devin Henry with three markers. Both Putney and White also hauled in 11 rebounds apiece to lead GAHS. Kole Carter wrapped up the Blue Devil tally with two markers.

Williams, who serves on the shelter’s board of directors along with Cabell County Commissioner Anne Yon and Wayne County Commissioner Bob Pasley by virtue of their elected positions, said under state law the facility is responsible for animal control, but for years has been criticized for its adoption rates and the number of animals that are euthanized. “It seems apparent there is a desire and a market for an organization that does more than (animal control),” said Wil- liams, who was named chair of the shelter’s board of directors at a meeting Jan. 14. At that meeting, board members briefly discussed the concept of becoming a no-kill shelter, concluding such a move would be impractical. “If we decided today to become a no-kill shelter, I don’t think it would be possible for us to reach that point for at least two years,” Williams said during an interview Jan. 15. “At the same time, it is very clear to me, as one member of the board, that we must do better. We’re light years away from where we were a few years ago, but nowhere close to where we need to be, in my opinion. “I think we need to start looking at the operation and solicit input and possibly proposals, if the rest of the board agrees with me, for public- private partnerships to not only provide animal control but the state-of-the-art services that the community demands.” According to statistics provided at the Jan. 14 meeting by new shelter director Scott Iseli, the shelter brought in 4,826 animals in 2014 — a high number that he attributes to an increased amount of feral cats in the city’s West End. The shelter was able to adopt out 1,377 dogs last year, while it was forced to put down 1,087. Of the 1,810 cats it took in, fewer than 200 were adopted. Iseli said the numbers are actually a significant improvement for the shelter, though the board asked to see figures from the past few years before declaring a positive trend. “The numbers will tell the story of where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going,” Williams said. “From that we can set some appropriate benchmarks.” The shelter has contracted a telemarketing firm to conduct fundraising efforts, much in the same vein as the Fraternal Order of Police and West Virginia Sheriff’s Association do. Williams said that strategy needs to be reviewed. “I’m not real comfortable with that,” he said. “Government agency soliciting causes me some concerns.” Iseli said he has noticed many of the fundraisers put on for the shelter seem to generate plenty of money, but the shelter doesn’t actually receive much of a cut. The board set a special meeting for 3:30 p.m. Feb. 3, at the Cabell County Courthouse to discuss fundraising protocols. The meeting was intentionally called four days before the shelter’s Adoption Celebration at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena on Saturday, Feb. 7. The event is hosted by Advocates for Saving Adoptable Pets. “We need to look at the fundraising efforts, how they’re conducted and how the money is designated,” Williams said. “I can guarantee you this has my full attention.” The shelter has been through a lot of ups and downs over the past four to five years. A past director was removed in 2012 when allegations surfaced involving mishandled money. That investigation is ongoing. That director’s replacement was let go this past summer, over reasons that were never fully disclosed. Iseli had been serving as interim director until receiving the job permanently earlier this month.

Farmers Market vendor training offered in Mason MASON COUNTY, W.Va. — “It’s a farmers market, and it sells things.” This is the extent of the information that most farmers market vendors have when they begin selling at market, according to Larry Lower, a market manager with more than 10 years experience at the Berkeley Springs Farmers Market. He is describing the lack of knowledge that most beginning vendors have when it comes to knowing what it takes to make a successful farmers market-based business work. According to Lower, despite the huge market that exists in West Virginia for locally grown food, about 50 percent of all potential new vendors would not make it through their first year without close mentorship or training. “Only about 10 percent of them have researched all the things that are necessary to become a successful vendor,” he said. “Many of them have unrealistic expectations about what selling at a farmers market is really like. They come with a product to sell, but have no knowledge of rules and regulations that are associated with selling that product.” This is the issue that the West Virginia Farmers Market Association (WVFMA) is trying to address with their New Vendor Launch Initiative. WVFMA is taking applications for this new training program designed to train and educate beginning farmers market vendors on the topics that are vital for their success. These topics include post-harvest handling, licensing and food safety requirements, marketing, visual merchandising, customer service and booth design, to name a few. “We have heard over and over again from our member markets about how important it is to have new vendors succeed during their first seasons selling at market,” said Kelly Crane, executive director of WVFMA. “Getting up to speed on all the information can be overwhelming and confusing without guidance and support. We are going to make sure those vendors thrive.” See TRAINING | 4C Courtesy photo Farmers Bank on Wednesday presented a $20,000 check to help support the Krodel Playground Project in Point Pleasant. Bank donates $20K to Krodel Park POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Farmers Bank on Wednesday presented a $20,000 check to help support the Krodel Playground Project in Point Pleasant. “Seeing individuals and businesses rally together to make this dream come true is exciting,” said Paul Reed, president and CEO of Farmers Bank. “The new playground will not only enrich our community, but it will also give our residents a beautiful setting to have fun and make memories.” Farmers Bank’s contribution will purchase “The Barn” portion of the playground. The Barn reflects the agricultural history of the area and “The new playground will not only enrich our community, but it will also give our residents a beautiful setting to have fun and make memories.” — Paul Reed President and CEO of Farmers Bank was designed for children ages 2-5. “The City of Point Pleasant is grateful to Farmers Bank for their recent donation to the Krodel Playground Project,” said Point Pleasant Mayor Brian Billings. “This was taken on by a great group of volunteer committee members who have done an excellent job with involving our local businesses and residents to make this a reality. The outpouring of support has been unbelievable and uplifting for our community and it will be enjoyed by all children for many years to come.” More information on the Krodel Playground Project can be found by following them on Facebook at facebook.com/krodelplayground. �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, January 25, 2015 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 By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green By Dave Green By Hilary Price 1/26 Difficulty Level Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane 1/26 6 8 7 5 4 3 2 9 1 4 6 8 2 3 1 5 7 9 3 2 5 6 7 9 1 4 8 7 9 1 4 5 8 3 6 2 1-800-697-0129 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.

Why do people think crochet art is of lower quality than other arts? So many people feel crochet is something done as a hobby, for therapy, or something in which you feel satisfaction, giving away and is looked on as an inexpensive gift that no one really wants but accepts. When they get tired of whatever the piece is, they put it in a yard sale, a Goodwill store, thrift store or any other place they can think of to get it out of their way, not imaging that person might stop by one of those places and see that gift “made from the heart,” laid out for $3 or less. To the one who made it, it can be heartbreaking. Certain projects should be kept as heirlooms, especially baby outfits or home décor projects. When they are put out, the pieces usually look terrible because most people don’t appreciate them or don’t know how to care for it for years to come. There are also better grades of yarn or thread that can be used to contribute to longer-lasting crochet pieces. There is so much love and work put into crochet art, whether given as a gift or sold. It is a slap in the face to see it thrown out in different places as if it doesn’t amount to anything. Not too long ago, a lady picked up an afghan at a yard sale that had a large hole in it, as well as a smaller hole. I believe she paid $3 for it and was wondering if it was worth repairing. It was knotty from have been incorrectly washed, but it was a beautiful stitch. The answer was, “Yes, it was worth repairing.” So I cleaned it up for her and repaired the holes. Crochet is beautiful when done by the right hands. It is an “old” art, taught in foreign countries, in schools to young girls so they would know how to do it. It is taught by mothers to their daughters. Does that tell you how much it should be cherished? Handmade items hold together much better than mass produced pieces, as they try to imitate handmade. They can imitate, but they can’t duplicate. Nice crocheted toys, dolls, etc., do not have pieces that pop off and are dangerous to children and can be swallowed. They are hypo-allergenic too. The cost may be a little more than you would want to pay, but at the same time you don’t hesitate to buy from a known or unknown company, paying even more for a similar item that doesn’t hold up well and is recalled after a few weeks. If you are willing to buy a duplicate piece and say it is “beautiful,” why not buy the real thing done with love and if everything is in order? Crochet is not low-quality trash. It is a talent that can be expressed in a lot of ways from fashion (clothing and jewelry), toys, home décor and more. It can be a hobby or a Business, but still remain “a masterpiece” of work just as other arts are considered to be. Karen Buffington is owner of Karen’s Korner Crochet Shop in Gallipolis.

The Small Business of the Year award went to Tuscany Cuccini, owned and operated by Chef Juan Francisco Ortiz.

In closing, Long thanked everyone for coming and encouraged attendees to continue to reach out to the chamber. “By all means, call us at the chamber. Let us know what we can do. Let us know how we can help,” he said. “That’s our goal: To get out to you this year and to try to educate you a little bit more about who we are and what we can do to help out.” Reach April Jaynes at (740) 446-2342 ext. 2108 or on Twitter @ajaynes_reports.

Training From Page 2C “These are the first steps to understanding what is needed to become a successful vendor, and the New Vendor Launch will cover these things, and more, in an extensive and comprehensible manner,” Lower said. Lower also said he believes this training will not only benefit the vendors themselves, but also the markets where those vendors will be selling their products. “By offering a training program like the New Vendor Launch, the WVFMA is taking the burden of mentoring and training new vendors off the back of the individual markets, and allowing the markets to focus on other projects that will support its growth,” he said. Participants must apply and be selected to attend a two-day training, which will be held in Charleston in April. This event will be hosted by the WVFMA in coordination with experts from WVU Extension Service, WV Department of Agriculture, WV Department of Health & Human Resources, the WV Food and Farm Coalition and others. This training will involve hosting a two-day New Vendor Launch “Boot Camp” to provide in-depth training for beginning vendors, as well as producing a written tool kit that will be made available to all West Virginia farmers markets and their vendors. Selected participants will also be paired with experienced mentors to help ensure their success, and both participants and mentors will receive funding to help offset travel costs and grow their businesses. The WVFMA is seeking applicants with 0-2 years of farmers market vendor experience. The full application is available at http://wvfarmers.org/new-vendor-launch. All applications must be submitted by Feb. 15.
