Mattox brought several members of his staff to discuss a timeline for the completion, as well as payment options, for the project. sometime in May. Mattox guessed a groundbreaking would take place this year at some point, with completion of this phase of the project being Oct. 31, 2018 — this phase being actually moving earth and building the road. A separate contract will be advertised for paving the road, which could be done by 2019 or 2020. Mattox said the paving of the road was not included in this initial phase of construction bids because concrete and asphalt prices can fluctuate and to get a competitive price, WVDOH waited to advertise for this final aspect of the project. Cost estimates are $165 million to $170 million for the first phase of the project, which is the actual building of the road, and $60 million to $70 million for the paving phase. The road is being financed using the public private partnership legislation. One of Mattox’s staff members said it’s hoped contractors will be turning earth by June. Staffers also reiterated the road should be completely done in a four to five year time period. Reach Beth Sergent at 304-675-1333 or on Twitter @BSergentWrites. Board approves Meigs County produces four more Eagle Scouts resignation of volunteer coach By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com REEDSVILLE — Eastern Local School Board members accepted the resignation of Daniel Buckley as the volunteer junior high track coach for the 2014-2015 school year. Allie Rawson and Stephanie Thatcher were hired as substitute teachers for the rest of the school year. The board also approved pupil activity contracts for Daniel Buckley, paid co-assistant track coach; Alex Amos, paid co-assistant track coach; Tim Elam, volunteer assistant baseball coach; Cassidy Cleland, volunteer junior high assistant track coach; Jacob Parker, paid assistant baseball coach; and approved a supplemental contract for Jeremy Hill, junior varsity girls softball coach. Renee Whitley will be a student teacher for Betsy Jones, who teaches first grade, and Susan Tuttle will be a substitute nurse for the remainder of the year. The board denied Kenda Dunkle status as an open enrollment student, and approved the monetary increases for the following Eastern Local Board of Education scholarships: Valedictorian Scholarship, $550 per year; Salutatorian Scholarship, $450 per year; Green Scholarship, $425 per year for four years; and the White Scholarship, $350 per year for two years. The board also approved to set the per meeting compensation amount for board members back to $125 per meeting, and up to a maximum of 24 meetings per year. This amount would reflect the original amount the compensation was in 2010. The motion to lower the per meeting compensation was $145 (2010) and was passed 8-16 (2010). The next board meeting is set for Wednesday, March 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the elementary library conference room. Last year brought the awarding of four more Eagle Scouts to Meigs County.

COLUMBUS — Partnering with private businesses, offering sponsorships along highways and selling $1 billion in Ohio Turnpike bonds are among ways Gov. John Kasich’s administration has worked to boost transportation revenue amid lagging federal outlays. Government data reviewed by The Associated Press show Ohio’s spending from the federal highway trust fund fell nearly 8 percent from 2008 to 2013. The downward trend is widespread among states. Michael Leachman, director of state fiscal research at the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said both federal and state gas taxes are producing less revenue due to a combination of factors, including Americans driving more fuel-efficient vehicles and the tax not being adjusted for inflation for decades. “States are in a pickle,” Leachman said. “They’re not dealing with this in Congress, so states are having to figure out how they’re going to deal with it as best they can themselves.” Last year, Ohio launched the largest single roadway construction project in its modern history — the $429 million Portsmouth bypass — under the Ohio Department of Transportation’s first-ever publicprivate partnership. The department has said the unique business arrangement is allowing it to take advantage of current economic conditions and See PROJECT | 6A �LOCAL/STATE OBITUARIES CHRISTY SELENE MOORE FETTY ATHENS — Christy Selene Moore Fetty, 51, of Athens, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015.

Wright State University sorry about menu FAIRBORN, Ohio (AP) — The president of Wright State University and its dining services vendor have apologized for a Black History Month menu that featured fried chicken and collard greens. The menu screens at the Ohio school also offered mashed potatoes and cornbread under photos of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other black leaders. The Dayton Daily News reported that people circulated images of it on social media, calling it offensive and disrespectful. Fried chicken has long been associated with In Memory Of Ramona E. “Mona” Roush 1 1 Ye a r s s i n c e h e r p a s s i n g August 7, 1937 - February 22, 2015 Time cannot dim the face I loved, the voice I hear each day.

President David Hopkins sent an email Thursday asserting the university’s commitment to diversity and pledged to prevent a repeat. “I apologize to anyone hurt by the display,” Hopkins wrote. “To our credit, the menu was quickly removed. But the larger question remains: Why was it done? I will find out. We will take steps to prevent this kind of behavior occurring in the future.” Chartwells Higher Education Dining Service said it could have done a better job providing context for what was meant as “a cultural dining experience.” The company said in a statement that it tries to help celebrate national events on campus with “authentic and traditional cuisine. … In no way was the promotion associated with Black History Month meant to be insensitive.” Kimberly Barrett, the school’s vice president of multicultural affairs and community engagement, said she was pleased that the menu signs were removed. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, February 22, 2015 3A GALLIA CHURCH CALENDAR EVENTS SUNDAY, FEB. 22 GALLIPOLIS —Sunday School, Addison Freewill Baptist Church at 10 a.m., Sunday evening service at 6 p.m., with Pastor Rick Barcus preaching.

Thus, it’s time to step up military action against a violent cult of Islamic extremists that many Muslims say corrupts their faith — and which those of us in the West see as incompatible with civilization. Much of the world, including in the Middle East, has reacted with outrage at the latest atrocity. Now, it would be time for action, not only by us, but by all who believe this threat requires a resolute and unified response. That would include Muslims who live much closer to the threat than we do. “Now, make no mistake, this is a difficult mission and it will remain difficult for some time,” Obama told reporters last week. But, “Our coalition is on the offensive, ISIL is on the defensive and ISIL is going to lose.” That was appropriately tough talk from the president; but the U.S. needs more than lofty rhetoric — the first task ought to be correctly defining the threat. ISIS has many names — ISIL and Daesh among them — but under any label, as demonstrated by its actions, it is what it has shown the world: a group of ultraviolent Islamic radicals who appear to know nothing of human compassion or decency for those who don’t believe as they do. We understand the president, a man well acquainted with the tenets of Islam, might be reluctant to harshly describe this radical faction for fear of alienating more of Islam’s 1-plus billion practitioners. How often did we hear President George W. Bush declare that Islam is a “religion of peace?” But the American people need a clear understanding of who we are up against, and what their aims are. The president must understand the nation hungers for clarity on this matter. Yet while Obama needs to speak plainly about ISIS, we also recommend that he listen. By that, we mean listen to his military commanders. It was astonishing to learn that former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a combat veteran of Vietnam and former U.S. senator, was frozen out by Obama’s underlings when it came to deciding national security policy. Whoever heard of not having the secretary of defense involved in such decisions? That must stop, and we hope new Pentagon chief Ash Carter is assertive enough to explain the best way to move forward against ISIS. It’s unrealistic to think dislodging and defeating ISIS will not require troops. When it comes to that, we hope those who face the greatest and most immediate peril from this enemy will rise to the occasion. The president said we have a coalition that is on the march. Let’s make good use of it. Reprinted from the New Bern (N.C.) Sun Journal Sunday Times-Sentinel Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

Mike DeWine is Ohio Attorney General. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Sunday, Feb. 22, the 53rd day of 2015. There are 312 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony. On this date: In 1784, a U.S. merchant ship, the Empress of China, left New York for the Far East to trade goods with China. In 1862, Jefferson Davis, already the provisional president of the Confederacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term following his election in Nov. 1861. In 1865, Tennessee amended its constitution to abolish slavery. In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a naval task force sent on a round-theworld voyage by President Theodore Roosevelt, returned after more than a year at sea. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House as he addressed the country over 42 stations. In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House. In 1940, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was enthroned at age 4 in Lhasa, Tibet. In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty. In 1965, a new, color videotape version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein TV musical “Cinderella,” starring Lesley Ann Warren in the title role and Stuart Damon as the Prince, first aired on CBS. Former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 82, died in Washington, D.C. In 1974, Pakistan officially recognized Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan). In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, New York, as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1995, actor Ed Flanders, 60, died at his own hand in Denny, Calif. Ten years ago: A powerful earthquake struck central Iran, killing more than 600 people. A Virginia man was charged with plotting with al-Qaida to kill President George W. Bush. (Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was convicted on all counts in November 2005; he was sentenced to life in prison after a 30-year sentence was overturned.) Buckingham Palace said Queen Elizabeth II would not attend the civil marriage ceremony of her son Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles — but that her absence should not be interpreted as a snub.

Leachman said such programs are inventive but the cash they generate isn’t significant. The $850,000 a year in logo fees “would pay for about 3 feet of roadway,” he said. “The financing problems are severe and so these kind of ticky-tacky things can help, but they’re not going to solve the problem,” he said.

The Ironmen (3-18, 1-7) rallied with seven consecutive points to pull to within a point with 4:24 left in the opening canto, but the guests were ultimately never closer the rest of the way. GAHS ended the final 2:43 of the first period with a 10-4 spurt, which allowed the Blue and White to secure an 18-11 edge after eight minutes of play. Gallia Academy kept that momentum going forward after opening the second stanza with a 10-2 run over the first three minutes, giving the hosts their largest lead of the first half at 28-13 with 5:19 remaining. JHS answered with three straight points over the next 2:04 to close to within a dozen points, but the Blue Devils closed the half with a small 4-3 spurt to secure a 32-19 edge at the break. GAHS committed six turnovers and netted 13-of-31 shot attempts in the opening 16 minutes of play, compared to seven turnovers and a 6-of-28 floor performance by Jackson in that same span. The Blue Devils also owned a sizable 24-15 edge on From Page 1B McConaha was fifth in the 800-meter run (3:06.41), 60-meter hurdles (11.06) and high jump (1.40m), finishing fifth in the overall compe- tition as well with 2,109 points. Five other athletes representing Rio Grande also established new personal records while representing the RedStorm at the Dragon Open hosted by Tiffin University last Saturday. Freshman Katie Brown- “We’ll enjoy this one, but we also have to start getting ready for the third round with Jackson on Monday night. We both have a home win this year against one another, so we’ll go to a neutral site for the tournament to find out which team is truly better. Tonight won’t matter. What will matter is which team executes, makes shots and wants it more.” The ninth-seeded Blue Devils will face eighth-seeded Jackson on Monday night at Southeastern High School in a Division II sectional quarterfinal at 7 p.m. The winner will advance to the semifinals at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday night to take on top-seeded Unioto at SEHS. Gallia Academy had four players reach double figures and a total of seven players reached the scoring column. It was also only the second time this season that GAHS reached 60-or-more points in a game, with the other coming in an 82-73 loss at Point Pleasant back in December. The Blue Devils connected on 26-of-57 field goal attempts overall, which included a 5-of16 effort from three-point range for 31 percent. The hosts also outrebounded JHS by a sizable 47-27 overall margin, which included a slim 12-10 edge on the offensive glass. Devin Henry led GAHS with a game-high 17 points, followed by Alex White with a doubledouble effort of 15 points and 12 rebounds. Trevor McNeal was next with four trifectas for 12 points, while Mike Putney added 11 markers to the winning cause.

The guests also netted 7-of-13 charity tosses for 54 percent and committed 15 turnovers in the setback, compared to 18 miscues by Gallia Academy. Casey Walker paced JHS with 14 points, followed by Matt Faught with 11 points and Chandler Jenkins with eight markers and a team-high six rebounds.

The Red and White made one last charge to start the second half, going on a 14-10 run to close to within 42-33 with 3:10 remaining in the third. The guests, however, were never closer as the Blue Devils ended the period on a 12-3 surge to secure a comfortable 54-36 cushion headed into the finale. The Ironmen scored six straight points to start the fourth and pulled themselves back to within a dozen (54-42) with 5:56 remaining, but Alex White capped a 9-0 run with a basket at the 2:43 mark — giving GAHS its largest lead of the game at 63-42. JHS ended the game with a 7-3 run to wrap up the 17-point outcome. The win also allowed Gallia Academy to salvage a season split with Jackson after dropping a 43-40 overtime decision in the Apple City back on January 16. Seniors Joseph Sebastian, Mike Putney, Alex White, Trevor McNeal and Payton Halley were honored before the game for their collective years of hard work and dedication to the program. That quartet also had tears of joy rolling down their faces afterwards, a sight that truly stuck with second-year GAHS coach Gary Harrison following the game. “These kids have really worked hard since I got here two years ago, so to see them get to enjoy tonight the way they did — that was special,” Harrison said. “These guys don’t quit, which is a tribute to their character, and they came out tonight and played with emotion and heart.

The Purple and Gold have now won backto-back games by over 20 points and improve to 7-4 in Racine. This is the sixth time Eastern has surrendered 70 or more points this season and it is the largest setback of the season for the Green and Gold. EHS, which is now 0-11 away ‘The Nest”, has lost five straight games and 14 straight league games. The Tornadoes also defeated EHS on January 20, by a 46-37 count in Tuppers Plains. These teams will meet in the Division IV sectional semi-final at Meigs High School on Wednesday. “I expect a much tougher game come Wednesday, I know that much,” Caldwell said. “We just have to be prepared for anything, it’s tournament play and you have to come ready to play on the defensive end first and foremost. We’ll get back to practice and get ready but like I said, I know Eastern’s going to play is really hard on Wednesday night. We’re going to have to play really hard and play well.” Southern and Eastern last met in the postseason on February 26, 2013 when the Eagles claimed a 55-42 victory over the Tornadoes in the sectional final. The Tornadoes last defeated EHS in postseason play on March 14, 2009 in the District final, by a 47-43 count at the Convocation Center in Athens. “So now the question is ‘what are we going to do to prepare for Wednesday against the same ball club?’ We’re going to try to do the same things we did, but only do them better,” Hill said. “The factor for this ball club is the decision whether they’re going to play from time to time, and they don’t do that all the time.”Prior to the game Southern honored all its seniors on the boys and girls basketball teams, on the cheerleading squad and in the pep band as well as the EHS senior boys basketball players and cheerleaders.

Paid sick time bill introduced For OVP News CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Senate Minority Leader Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, and five of his fellow Democrats introduced legislation Friday creating the Earned Sick Time Act. Senate Bill 528 (SB 528) creates the Earned Sick Time Act in order to allow all employees to earn sick time at a rate of one hour per forty hours worked to be used in case of illness to themselves or a family member. “Over 225,000 hardworking West Virginians do not have access to a single earned sick day,” says Kessler. “They go to work in order to avoid having their pay docked, and people who come to work sick put their coworkers and customers at risk of infection. That’s wrong.” The purpose of the bill is to ensure that all workers in West Virginia can address their own health and safety needs and the health and safety needs of their families by requiring employers to provide a minimum amount of earned sick time, including time for the care of family member. Sen. Bob Beach (D-Monongalia), co-sponsor of the bill, says government officials advise us to stay home, or keep our children at home, during outbreaks; however, workers without paid sick days don’t have that option and we all risk getting sick as a result. “Enacting a paid sick leave policy would make West Virginia’s families stronger, our work places healthier and improve the well-being of all children,” says Beach. “No worker should ever have to choose between their job and their health, or the health of family members.” Bill sponsors include Senators Ron Miller (D-Greenbrier), Bill Laird (D-Fayette), Herb Snyder (D-Jefferson) and Jack Yost (D-Brooke). SB 528 has been referred to the Committees on Labor, Judiciary and Finance. This story was provided by the West Virginia Press Assocaition and its statwide story-sharing network. Arts scholarship available at Ohio University OHIO VALLEY — Local area students are given another scholarship opportunity to help further their education. Middleport resident John F. Fultz recently started an arts scholarship through the Ohio University Foundation for students in Meigs, Gallia and Mason counties. To qualify for the scholarship, students must maintain a 2.0 GPA through all four years of college and is renewable after each year. The current amount for the scholarship was not given, but Fultz said it could be upwards to $1,500. The scholarship was established in honor of Fultz and his wife, Marilyn, who have been frequent contributors to Ohio University in Athens. Fultz said that he had established the scholarship to help give students, especially those who don’t have high GPAs, more monetary options and opportunities to attend college. “I believe every student should have a chance to go to college, no matter how high their grades are,” Fultz said. The Ohio University Foundation provides scholarships and financial aid packages through “gifts” from generous donors.

Some projects will be your “original” work, just as a piece done in watercolor, acrylic or oil painting. Maybe you can’t design yet, but as time goes on you will be able to produce a beautiful piece of work that should be cherished for years. Designing a project in crochet art gives you a beautiful feeling because you know it is all your own. Crochet can go just as far as you want to take it in the field of “art,” but not everyone can do that. God gave us all gifts to express; not all the same ones. Just because I walk into a mechanic’s shop doesn’t make me a mechanic. The art of mechanics is someone else’s passion, not mine. My passion is the art of crochet. It’s not only for “a little old lady in a rocking chair”; it is for women of all ages to enjoy. Again, if everything is in order and our tools — hook, yarn and thread — are all made in the U.S.A., we can take pride in labeling a finished project, whether for sale or as a gift, as being “Made in the U.S.A.” Karen Buffington is a crochet artist who owns and operates Karen’s Korner Crochet Shop, 93 Pine St., Gallipolis. Marietta college features art exhibit MARIETTA — The Evergreen Arts & Humanities Series at Washington State Community College will conduct a spring art exhibit with its featured artist, Michelle Waters. Waters is a graduate of Akron University with a specialty in photography and printmaking. Her exhibit will be on display in the auditorium lobby and second floor hall gallery of the Arts & Sciences Building on WSCC’s campus. The official opening for her exhibit will be April 11, but the public is invited to view prior to that date. Waters has been photographing since she was 8 years old. She says of her choice in photography materials, “For quite a while, I’d been printing my images on photo paper, as it was the traditional way to go, but I found myself wanting to create something with more texture and energy than lab printed photographs could offer, so I searched and explored, and began to play with other options for printing — especially image transfers — onto a variety of different materials.” The Evergreen Arts Courtesy photos The Evergreen Arts & Humanities Series at Washington State Community College will conduct a spring art exhibit with these works by its featured artist, Michelle Waters. and Humanities Series is supported by the Ohio River Border Initiative, a joint project of the Ohio Arts Council and the West Virginia Commission on the Arts.
