In cooperation with the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office, Gallia County sheriff’s deputies arrested Chafin and Barry June 19 at a home in Clay Township. Two females were also taken in custody at the time and later released. Evidence was reportedly located at the Clay Township residence that tied both men to the robberies. “We are very pleased to have prosecuted both Chafin and Barry for their involvement in these robberies last summer,” Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins said. “These prison sentences send a clear signal that law enforcement takes these cases seriously and that we will prosecute to the fullest extent permitted under the law.” Adkins said the work of the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, along with detectives from the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office, provided all of the heavy lifting in resolving the case. “Detectives and law enforcement officers from these agencies worked tirelessly to track down the individuals responsible for the multiple robberies and to gather strong evidence which led to these guilty pleas,” he said. “We also thank the local businesses and their employees who were affected by the criminal actions of this defendant. We appreciate your cooperation as we diligently pursued criminal prosecution in conjunction with Scioto County.” Reach Michael Johnson at (740) 446-2342 ext. 2103, or on Twitter @OhioEditorMike.

Bicentennial Celebration Church commemorates 200th anniversary By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Two centuries later and it’s still going strong. On Sunday, First Presbyterian Church of Gallipolis, located on 51 State St., celebrates its 200th anniversary. Founded March 15, 1815, the church has the distinction of being the first organized Religious Society in Gallipolis Township. Pastor Timothy Lvoma emphasized that it is extremely special to church members that the anniversary falls on a Sunday. “This anniversary worship service is our first event in a year-long celebration,” he said. The past 200 years includes a great deal of change, and First Presbyterian Church is a reflection of Gallipolis history. From the church founding to present day, the congregation and building have gone through remodeling, reorganization, social change, cholera epidemics, and the Civil War.

It took a broad approach to defining public records with a strong presumption that almost all records kept by government would be open to citizens. The law was exactly two paragraphs long. It contained only a few exceptions. How times change. Ohio attorney Breanne Parcels noted in a 2012 article called “Bring Back the Bite” in the University of Dayton Law Review that today’s statute “has ballooned to ten standard 8 ½ by 11 ½ inch pages.” Today, it’s even longer. With the recent addition of new secrecy to the lethal injection process, we now have 29 enumerated exceptions plus 100 or more peppered throughout the Ohio statutes. The definition of what is a “government record” also has gotten narrower since 1963, and something Dennis can’t be an open record if it isn’t a Hetzel public record. The same problem For Ohio Valley applies to our open meetings laws, Publishing as the definition of “open to the public” keeps getting tighter. In other words, a vast amount of government activity in Ohio is invisible to citizens, and the trend shows no sign of changing beyond some refreshing exceptions. How did this happen? I think that’s a good question to ponder during Sunshine Week, an annual, national effort to promote open government. The answer is pretty obvious: Despite the stirring words about the “presumption of openness” that remain in our statutes, our officials frequently give greater weight to reasons to keep matters secret. For example, in recent years the Ohio Supreme Court has made it nearly impossible to do the following: š�9ebb[Yj�Wjjehd[o�\[[i�_d�W�fkXb_Y�h[YehZi�YWi["� even if you’re right and the government broke the law. š�9^Wbb[d][�j^[�]el[hdc[djÉi�YbW_c�j^Wj�_j�medÉj� give you records because your request is “overly broad.” š�=e�je�W�]el[hdc[dj�c[[j_d]�\eh�Æ_d\ehcWtion gathering” or “fact finding” unless the body decides it’s OK for you to be there. š�I[[�Yh_c_dWb�YWi[�Òb[i�e\�Ybei[Z�YWi[i�kdb[ii� the defendant is deceased – which doesn’t help someone much if they have been wrongfully convicted. š�=[j�if[dZ_d]�Z[jW_b�\hec�gkWi_#fkXb_Y�W][dcies or privatized services that handle vast amounts of public money. To be fair, in some cases the courts have dealt with language that could be improved. That is where legislative will comes into play. The digital age also creates both problems and opportunities that couldn’t be anticipated in 1963. Just last week, Kent State University provided an example of how officials exploit these trends to hide information that common sense says should be public. The Akron Beacon-Journal reported that KSU is paying marketing consultants $101,750 for marketing and promotional services. According to the newspaper, Kent essentially ceded its responsibility for open records to a Philadelphia consulting firm by agreeing in a contract that the school would notify the company of any records request, and that the firm would be able to redact any “proprietary” information under a trade secrets exemption. Irony alert: One of the blacked-out items was the amount of time the company wanted to redact items. Other so-called “trade secrets” include travel costs. Kent State’s appropriate answer should have been this during the negotiation: “We take seriously our responsibilities under the law as a public university, so we will be seeking other bidders who are more concerned about public transparency.” Well, let’s close on a positive note. For example, State Treasurer Josh Mandel has unveiled a website, OhioCheckbook.com, which might be the best effort in America to help citizens track state government spending at a detailed level. State Auditor Dave Yost has announced a program to help citizens dealing with denials of records requests. In many cases, his office will issue a ruling without you having to hire a lawyer and go to court. This is a major development that levels the playing field for citizens and builds on a free mediation program for local disputes offered by Attorney General Mike DeWine. You can learn more at Yost’s website, OhioAuditor.gov. Those examples are good news, but they should be more than refreshing exceptions. As fate would have it, legislators have a great opportunity right now by injecting real transparency into how Ohio’s charter schools are spending nearly $1 billion in public money. Please consider telling them that. Hetzel is the executive director of the Ohio Newspaper Association and president of the Ohio Coalition for Open Government in Columbus.

Records indicate communion was suspended the preaching of the gospel and there are no recorded trustee meetings. However, a confirmed cholera epidemic led to the suspension of services from September 1850 through May 1852. It is well documented that cholera affected the Ohio River Valley from 1832 through the 1870s before contaminated water was identified as the cause. Cholera epidemics subsided with the introduction of sewage systems that ensured clean water supplies. A schism developed in the church in 1837 over interpretation of Calvinism, frontier mission work and slavery. This resulted in the division of the Presbyterian Church, both nationally and locally, along Northern and Southern philosophies during the Civil War. The issue was not resolved within the Presbyterian Church until 1869. An indication of the First Presbyterian Church of Gal- LOCAL STOCKS AEP (NYSE) — 55.31 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 24.43 Ashland Inc.

Member SIPC. Sunday Times-Sentinel lipolis’ stance on slavery was the inclusion of a person of color in 1847. The records read, ”after examination upon his scriptural knowledge and personal religious experience, he was baptized and received full communion of the church.” The Presbyterian Social Circle of Gallipolis was the first women’s group in the church. Organized in 1856 as a sewing circle, their purpose was to “raise money to defray debts of the church.” The women preferred cotton for their sewing projects, especially for what they called “fancy-work,” and used it for crocheting, tatting, and making aprons and napkins. During the Civil War, the scarcity of cotton caused a rise in fabric prices, and the women abandoned “fancywork.” Turning to quilts as projects, they began using available scraps and homespun cloth, and referred to their work as “the pleasure of sewing patches.” As was the custom, men and women parted at the church doors upon entry, and the original front design of the church included separate doors. When this practice changed, the two doors were eliminated during a remodeling in 1868 and replaced with one door. In 1870, church trustees issued a formal resolution recognizing women’s contributions to the church. The resolution allowed a committee of five women to “… advise with the five church trustees (men) and assist them in managing the affairs of the church.” Women served on committees after that time, but could not be elected to the role of elder until 1936, when the constitution of the national church was amended to permit the ordination of women. In 1973, the church saw Courtesy photo Pen and ink drawing of First Presbyterian Church of Gallipolis as it appears today. the full inclusion of women when husband-and-wife ordained ministers served the church as pastor and associate pastor. During the 1868 renovation, a bell tower was constructed. The church bell had an important role in communication for the community. The bell was used as a call to worship, tolled as horse-drawn funeral hearses took church members to their final resting places, and as a fire alarm for the township. Other interesting facts from the church history:Gas chandeliers replaced candles and oil lamps in 1881, and electric lights were installed in 1932. Women’s Missionary Society minutes from 1926 state that they were “heartily in favor of the 18th Amendment of the U.S Constitution and opposed to any modification that would lessen its influence or effectiveness.” Boy Scouts of American Troop 2, organized in 1912, is the second-oldest Boy Scout Troop in the nation.

Gallia Academy senior Cole Tawney had his storied grappling career coming to an improbable end Thursday at the 78th annual OHSAA Division II Wrestling Championships being held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University in Franklin County. Tawney — who was making his program-best third appearance at the state meet — didn’t advance past the first day of events for the first time in his career after finishing 0-2 with a pair of decision losses. Senior Devin Rogers of Springfield Northwestern posted an 8-3 decision in the opening 126-pound bout, then senior Paul Petras of Parma Padua Franciscan outlasted Tawney by a 3-1 count in quadruple overtime during the opening consolation match. Tawney — who finishes with a career mark of 6-7 overall at state — never led in points during either of his final two prep contests. He trailed 3-0 in his opening match and scored his only point against Petras with less than a minute remaining in the third period. Tawney, trailing 1-0 late in his second bout, was given a free point after Petras allowed him up, tying the score at one. The move was also a calculated gamble as Petras did not want to surrender a reversal and fall behind 2-1 in the waning moments. Tied at 1-all through three Gallia Academy senior Cole Tawney, middle, is joined by his father and GAHS assistant coach Doug Tawney, left, and GAHS head coach Scott Stanley, right, for a photo in the upper level of the Jerome Schottenstein Center Thursday during the 2015 OHSAA Division II Wrestling Championships in Columbus, Ohio. overtime sessions, Petras elected to start in the down position during the fourth extra frame. Petras gradually got to his feet, scored a reversal and ended the match with a 3-1 decision. It was a bittersweet ending for the four-time district qualifier and three-time Southeastern Ohio Athletic League champion, who entered the weekend tied with Brandon Taylor (2009-12) for the program’s all-time lead in wins with 177. But, as the two-time All-Ohio grappler noted afterwards, Tawney ultimately has no complaints about his career while wearing the Blue and White. “It’s been really good to be a part of the Gallia Academy Blue Devil wrestling program.

Registration for the event starts at 12:30 p.m., and both boys and girls will compete in separate divisions based on age. The competitions range from ages 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14, based on the participant’s age as of July 17, 2015. All participants must show proof of age and must also fill out a waiver/registration form prior to the event. No metal spikes are allowed at the event. For more information, contact Brett Bostic at 740-4416022 or by email at cityrec@gallipoliscity.com Tawney From Page 1B freshman with some really good senior examples, which really helped me in learning what it took to get to this point,” Tawney said. “Being a three-time state qualifier is something that I’m very proud of in my career and I have several people in this program to thank for that. I also hope that someone in the future has learned as much from me and that they get to experience this moment too. “Even though things didn’t work out the way that I had hoped this weekend, I still cannot think of any other way that I would want to go out. I left everything on the mat at the state tournament, the rest just didn’t work out for me today.” Tawney — who was fifth as a sophomore at 120 pounds while also placing eighth last winter at 126 pounds — finishes his senior season with a 44-6 overall mark. Tawney is the only two-time podium finisher in GAHS history and also set the school record for pinfalls in a career with 119. Tawney is expected to continue his wrestling career at the collegiate level, although he is currently weighing all of his options before making such a commitment. The one thing he was sure of, as of Thursday, is that his legacy at Gallia Academy is secure — and there to be tested by all the future Blue Devils. “I know some of the younger guys are already eyeing some of my records, and I am okay with that. I hope they get there for the sake of the program,” Tawney said. “I also plan on continuing my wrestling career at college, but I don’t know exactly where just yet. It does help to know that this isn’t my last day of matches.” It was the sixth straight postseason in which GAHS had at least one wrestler qualify for the Division II state tournament, but Thursday marked the only time during that six-year run that the Blue Devils didn’t come away with any team points at the event. Afterwards, third-year GAHS coach Scott Stanley didn’t show much concern about having the state scoring streak come to an end, but was rather left thinking about his heart-broken senior. Stanley, however, wanted everyone to remember that even with the disappointing day, it was still a piece of positive history for Gallia Academy wrestling. “It’s disappointing for Cole going 0-2 this weekend, but there is nothing disappointing about this for the program. It’s tough to get to state, regardless of what school your with or how many times you’ve been here before,” Stanley said. “Cole has been here more than anybody in the history of this program and I’m nothing but proud of him. He’s been a great leader and role model for the underclassmen and he owns just about every record in this program, so he should be proud. “We’ve been very fortunate to get here six years in a row now, but we will need someone to step up and become the next Cole Tawney. We did have six other wrestlers at districts this year, so the program should have a chance at seven next March.” Tawney is joined by Taylor and Ben Doolittle as the only repeat state qualifiers in Blue Devil history. Jeptha Robinson, Tommy Saunders, Dustin Winters, Jared Gravely, Zack Tackett, Matt Watts and current sophomore Jared Stevens have also appeared at the state meet once apiece, giving GAHS a total of 10 state qualifiers. Taylor is still the Blue Devils’ highest placer at the state tournament after finishing third at 170 pounds in the 2012 Division II tournament.

Lemon awards at the Flexible Pavements of Ohio’s 2015 Ohio Asphalt Expo March 3 in Columbus. Pictured, from left, are Joe Gulley, of Shelly Co., Adam Foshee, of Shelly Co., Brett Boothe, Gallia County engineer, Jeff Barnes, of Shelly Co, Cary Schrader, of Shelly Co., and Jay Hansen, executive vice president of the National Asphalt Pavement Association. Gallia road project earns national award Staff Report COLUMBUS — The Gallia County Engineer’s Office and the Shelly Co. were recognized for outstanding performances in the construction field following a road improvements project on Gallia County roads. The Gallia County Engineer’s Office and the Shelly Co. received the 2014 Larry H. Lemon Quality in Construction Award for excellence in construction of an asphalt pavement from the National Asphalt Pavement Association for the County Road 35 — better known in Gallia County as Jackson Pike — Improvements Project. The award was announced at a ceremony during the association’s 60th annual meeting in Marco Island, Fla., and presented to Gallia County Engineer Brett Boothe and Shelly Co. on March 3 at Flexible Pavements of Ohio’s 2015 Ohio Asphalt Expo in Columbus. The Larry H. Lemon Quality in Construction Award recognizes the 10 highest-scoring projects submitted nationally for a Quality in Construction Award in the General Paving (less than 50,000 tons) category. The award is sponsored by Asphalt Contractor magazine. “As an industry, asphalt pavement producers have devoted a great deal of time and effort determining the best practices necessary to construct long-lasting, high-quality asphalt pavements that offer the durable performance pavement owners and the public value. This award compares nominated pavements against best practices and standards, and honor those that exemplify excellence in construction standards,” William C. Ensor III, 2014 chairman of the NAPA Board of Directors, said. Six of the 10 Larry H. Lemon awards were awarded to projects in Ohio. The County Road 35 (Jackson Pike) Improvement Project was the only county road project in Ohio to earn the 2014 Larry H. Lemon award. “It is an honor to have one of the top 10 quality road resurfacing projects in the nation on a county road in Gallia County,” Boothe said. “Congratulations to the Shelly Co. and Gallia County Engineer’s Office staff for a successful project that will serve the Gallia County community for years to come.” The award was for the work on Gallia County Road 35. This stretch of road has more than 10,000 users a day and endures heavy, repeated truck traffic. The old pavement contained severe rutting along both eastbound and westbound lanes. Several commercial and retail businesses are also located on this portion of Jackson Pike. After some minor rehabilitation, two layers of a new pavement with increased friction were laid to help reduce skid on the asphalt surface. The asphalt base course’s average density was 94.4, while the surface course achieved an average density of 94.6. The “Superpave Mix Design” was specified to eliminate future rutting and to provide a long service life. Projects submitted for a Quality in Construction Award are evaluated by pavement engineers at the National Center for Asphalt Technology who assign each project a numerical score based on how well the contractor met specifications and achieved density on the finished pavement. The Larry Lemon Award honors the 10 highestscoring projects, as determined in the NCAT review. The award is named after Larry Lemon, of Haskell Lemon Construction in Oklahoma City. Lemon served faithfully on the awards committee for 18 years before serving as chairman of the board in 2010 prior to his retirement. Lemon was instrumental in the creation of the rating system for the Quality in Construction Awards, which require qualitative analysis using data and test results to determine the winners. The City of Point Pleasant has applied for a $10,000 grant from the Mason County Community Foundation for historic preservation needs at Pioneer Cemetery along Viand Street. A committee is forming to discuss those needs and how to make any sort of improvements while keeping the historic integrity of the cemetery intact. The grant focuses on repairing the wrought iron fencing contained within the cemetery which houses graves dating back to the early 1800s. The cemetery includes the graves of those who fought in the Revolutionary War, as well as the grave of Dr. Jesse Bennett, who performed the first cesarean operation in America in 1794. Bennett was also a colonel in the Virginia militia. At this week’s city council meeting, Mayor Brian Billings and City Clerk Amber Tatterson told council that when city officials receive tourists seeking to explore Point Pleasant, one of the first questions often asked is where the cemeteries are located. With this grant, it’s hoped Point Pleasant’s oldest cemetery can receive some TLC by enhancing, not disrupting, any history. The city welcomes feedback on how to accomplish this and those who wish to serve on the committee to make improvements to Pioneer Cemetery.
