Anyone who met Bill would know instantly that details mattered to him. Beyond his work as a machinist, which undoubtedly equipped him with all the tools to care about details, when recalling his trip to pick up Dolores for their ﬁrst date, Bill couldn’t help but tell the story with the make, model, and color of every car he passed along the way. Bill’s neighbors could probably tell you the exact minute he picked up his mail on a daily basis and his family loved to laugh about the ﬁve cereals he ate, in order, every morning. He had a knack for detailed story-telling and always enjoyed a good joke – always stopping short of a line he shouldn’t cross but certainly knowing that the possibility made it all the more humorous. Additionally, Bill will be remembered by those that knew him as a man who very sincerely wanted to enjoy the company of and not be a burden to his family. He was a very caring man and always put the needs of those around him as his top priority. Calling hours for Bill will be Monday, November 8, 2021 from noon to 1 p.m. with a funeral service to follow at Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy, Ohio with Pastor Al Hartson ofﬁciating.

Either at home or at work we generate a lot of waste. According to the US EPA, every citizen generates an average of almost ﬁve pounds of trash per day. Can you imagine the public health crisis if there was no plan for waste management? Knowing the importance of it all, the Ohio General Assembly modernized the solid waste regulations in 1988. Their legislation created a comprehensive waste management planning process. The goals of the new legislation were to reduce the amount of waste generated and dispose of, to ensure the existing landﬁlls have the capacity to operate into the future, and privately owned or to reduce Ohio’s managed landﬁlls, overall dependence recycling programs on landﬁlls.

The Meigs County Commissioners utilized the sheriff’s funding to operate a litter collection program that has picked up litter along roads throughout the county since 2014. Finally, a waste management plan would not be successful without widespread collection from the services of many private waste haulers. Local health departments typically register or maintain a list of haulers operating in the county. The Meigs County Health Depart- lection company. The program consists of multiple drop-off locations for recyclable materials in each of the counties in the district. The cities of Jackson and Gallipolis offer curb-side recycling. These recyclable materials are transported to a material recovery facility in Dayton, Columbus or Chillicothe for sorting and processing. The recycling programs assist in reducing waste ﬂow to landﬁlls. Ohio’s statewide goal is to reduce or recycle at least 25% of all the solid waste generated. The GJMV district has managed to only achieve about 12% in comparison to the states goal. Funding for the GJMV district comes from fees collected at the point of disposal. These funds ment currently has registered 13 waste hauling companies. The future of waste management continues to evolve with new statewide goals and solid waste regulations that focus on reducing the dependency on landﬁlls, increasing recycling opportunities for residents, and meeting the 25% goal for reducing the amount of waste generated.

That is the name the Shawnee Confederacy knew him by. We know him by a different name, Chief Cornstalk. Little is known of Cornstalk’s early life. It is suspected that he was born in either Pennsylvania or Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley about 1720, before the Shawnee were forced west into Ohio. According to later sources, his father was the head of the Chalahgawtha (Chillicothe) Shawnee, and his mother was the daughter of the Mekoche Shawnee chief, making Cornstalk a powerful ﬁgure from birth. The ﬁrst recorded mention of Cornstalk is his participation in the French & Indian War. Cornstalk, chief since his father’s passing, sided with the French to prevent British expansion and led raids against the Virginia frontier. It is said that he personally led the raid that committed the Kerr’s Creek Massacre in 1759, the worst in Virginia during the war. After the British victory in the war, the Shaw- this deal.

They looked to Cornstalk. Cornstalk, like Washington, was a born leader and master strategist. When his spies informed him that Dunmore had split his army, leading one down the Ohio while Lewis came up the Kanawha, he knew that he could never let them meet. One had to be destroyed, and he knew Lewis would be vulnerable at Point Pleasant. We often forget, Cornstalk came within a hair of actually destroying Lewis’ army. In the opening shots of the battle, Colonel Lewis and Colonel Fleming both fell mortally wounded, the battle lines collapsed, and the Virginians were pushed back to within yards of the encampment at the Point. A few more yards and the Virginians would have had nowhere to go. It would have been absolute destruction.

A Virginian is killed while out hunting, and the militiamen reacted by murdering the only other Native Americans nearby, despite their innocence. The murderers were never brought to justice, and the loss of Cornstalk’s voice of moderation led to the Ohio tribes allying with the British, costing untold thousands of casualties that could have been prevented. Cornstalk was quietly buried outside Fort Randolph in the aftermath of his murder. This grave was discovered during road work in the 1840s and moved to the courthouse grounds, then moved again to TuEndie-Wei in 1954 during construction of the new courthouse.

The battle ended in a stalemate, and Cornstalk knew more reinforcements under Colonel Christian would arrive in the night. The only option left open was to retreat and fortify their towns at Chillicothe. Again, unfortunately for Cornstalk, Dunmore beat them there. He was now stuck between two Virginian armies, with double the men he had, better weapons, and more supplies. Stuck between complete destruction and, well, complete destruction, he saw one option to save the lives of his people. In the Treaty of Camp Charlotte, he pledged total and complete surrender and agreed to never again wage war against the Virginians. Fast forward three years.

Pomeroy Merchant President and Front Paige Outﬁtters owner Paige Cleek said everything came together to make the day a good one for merchants and shoppers alike. “It was a perfect day in so many ways,” Cleek said. “I think I speak for all the merchants in saying this was a phenomenal day for all of us. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and there were even more shoppers than anticipated.” Cleek said people were waiting in line when the shops opened at 9 a.m. on Friday. “We are already full into the Christmas season; people seem to be shopping early this year,” Cleek said. “We were busy from beginning to end. It was unbelievable, people were waiting in line for stores to open, and they were there until after closing. I still had people in my store after I closed at 9 p.m.” She said it was also good to see “out of towners” — a sign that the shops are bringing in new customers. “This town has a lot to offer,” she said. “We are friendly with a large variety of quality merchandise, we have excellent local craftmanship, recognizable brands, and also buy from smaller business, so there are items you might not have seen before, all in this small river town. We love our local customers, but we also want Pomeroy to be a destination point for people from out of town, a place where people want to make the trip to come and shop, have lunch or a cup of coffee, meet with friends, and make new ones.” When asked if the current supply chain issues have been a problem, Cleek shared that there have been some concerns, but mostly with the bigger brands. “We are all suffering a bit with supplies, but because we are small business owners, we can shift gears,” she said. “Speaking for myself, if I can’t get what I ordered from one place, I can ﬁnd a small resource business to ﬁll in the gap for things we are not getting.

Thousands more fans packed the mixedentertainment complex outside the stadium. The Braves were lured to Cobb County by tax incentives and the ability to build a complex of dining, shopping, apartments and entertainment adjacent to the new stadium, which opened in 2017. McGuirk said he thought “there were well more than a million people” overall. “This city has lost its mind and it’s so wonderful to be a part of it,” McGuirk said. The Braves clinched the World Series by beating the Houston Astros 7-0 in Game 6 on Tuesday night. Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson, a native of Marietta in suburban Atlanta, had a hometown perspective on the fans’ 26-year wait to celebrate another championship. “This city has been wanting a championship for a long time,” Swanson said. “It’s just so cool they let schools out.

Hamlin led the Cup standings for 22 consecutive weeks but lost the regular-season championship to Larson over the ﬁnal three weeks. Larson returned from a suspension last season for using a racial slur and won a series-high nine races. He had only six career wins in his previous six full seasons. Truex has four wins and Elliott and Hamlin both won twice this season. The pandemic forced NASCAR to streamline its schedule and most race weekends in 2020 were turned into one-day events. That continued in 2021 with only Phoenix and seven other race weekends -- mostly new tracks and Daytona 500 weekend — having scheduled practice sessions.

Steve Phelps, NASCAR’s president, said Friday the top motorsports series in the United States does not want to be associated with politics “on the left or the right.” Phelps also said NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel wearing a black “Let’s go, Brandon” shirt alongside NASCAR’s trademarked color bars. “We will pursue whoever (is using logos) and get that stuff,” Phelps said. “That’s not OK. It’s not OK that you’re using our trademarks illegally, regardless of whether we agree with what the position is.” Brandon Brown won Joshua Bessex | AP A sign reading “Let’s go Brandon” is displayed on the railing in the first half of a college football game between Boston College and Syracuse in Syracuse, N.Y., last month. Critics of President Joe Biden have come up with the cryptic new phrase to insult the Democratic president. NASCAR announced Friday that it will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. his ﬁrst career NASCAR race in October in Alabama, and the Talladega Superspeedway crowd at the Xﬁnity Series race chanted “F--- Joe Biden” during Brown’s interview. It was not clear if NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast, who was wearing a headset, could hear what the crowd was saying during the interview, and she incorrectly told Brown the fans were cheering “Let’s go, Brandon.” The phrase has become a rallying cry for Biden’s critics, and “Let’s go, Brandon” is now conservative code for the original vulgar chant. “It’s an unfortunate situation and I feel for Brandon, I feel for Kelli,” Phelps said. “I think unfortunately it speaks to the state of where we are as a country. We do not want to associate ourselves with politics, the left or the right.” That’s a reversal on NASCAR’s long history of allowing political candidates to use its races as campaign stops.

Drivers and their families posed for selﬁes with Trump ahead of the race, and in early 2016 reigning Cup champion Chase Elliott was among a handful of drivers who attended a Georgia rally with then-NASCAR chairman Brian France in support of Trump. Several in the group, including NASCAR’s most popular driver, spoke on stage. NASCAR also took aggressive positions on social justice issues in 2020 during a nationwide racial reckoning following the death of George Floyd. NASCAR banned the display of the Confederate ﬂag at its events at the request of Bubba Wallace, its only Black fulltime driver. Wallace wore an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt on pit road and ran with a Black Lives Matter paint scheme in one race.

He loved the Atlanta Braves and I am so very, very happy to see these young men who have picked up the mantle and carried it on.” Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos, unable to attend Game 6 because he tested positive for COVID-19, spoke at the ceremony from a luxury suite and said “Flags ﬂy forever, 2021 will ﬂy forever!” Fans at the stadium were encouraged by broadcaster Joe Simpson to participate in the controversial tomahawk chop chant.

Saturday, November 6, 2021 11 IN BRIEF Domi in COVID protocol, Blue Jackets now lose Laine COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets will be without key forwards Patrik Laine and Max Domi for Saturday’s game against Colorado. The Blue Jackets said Friday that the 23-year-old Laine will miss four to six weeks with an oblique strain. He got hurt during Wednesday overtime win at Colorado. Domi was put into quarantine after testing positive for the coronavirus on Sunday. The test result came in after the Blue Jackets’ overtime win at New Jersey, so Domi was left behind for quarantine there. Laine is second on the team in scoring with three goals and seven assists. The 26-year-old Domi has had some tough luck. He had shoulder surgery in the offseason and then then missed four games this season with a fractured rib. He has a goal and three assists. It’s not clear when Domi could return. Kevin Stenlund was called up from the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters to take his spot. The 9-6-3 Blue Jackets open a four-game homestand against the 9-4-4 Avalanche at Nationwide Arena. NYC Marathon returns after pandemic pause NEW YORK (AP) — Gary Muhrcke was an amateur when he became the ﬁrst runner to cross the ﬁnish line at a New York City Marathon, and none of the 54 men who followed him were pros, either. Which isn’t to say they weren’t serious. “They turned the clock off at 3:59,” he recalled this week. A limited ﬁeld of 33,000 runners will jog off the Verrazzano Bridge and wind its way toward Central Park on Sunday as the 26.2-mile race returns after being wiped out in 2020 by the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers shrank the ﬁeld by nearly 40% and are requiring runners be vaccinated or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the race. Spectators will be encouraged to maintain social distancing, and some race-adjacent entertainment elements will be scaled back to accommodate that. Dusty Baker gets contract from Houston Astros HOUSTON (AP) — Dusty Baker will return as manager of the Houston Astros for a third season after agreeing to a one-year contract with the AL champions. Baker took over from AJ Hinch, who was suspended by MLB for his role in the team’s sign stealing and then ﬁred. The Astros lost to Tampa Bay in the 2020 AL Championship Series and to Atlanta in this year’s six-game World Series. “We have an exciting future here -- and present,” Baker said Friday. “I just had some unﬁnished business to take care of, but we’re close. We’re getting better every year.” The 72-year-old Baker has never won a World Series title as a manager. He has 1,987 regularseason wins as a manager. Baker said he has enjoyed his time in Houston, even adapting to the team’s focus on analytics. Giants’ injured Barkley off COVID list, but will sit EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.. (AP) — New York Giants injured running back Saquon Barkley and starting safety Xavier McKinney were taken off the COVID-19 list Friday. Barkley has missed the past three games with a sprained ankle sustained on Oct. 10 against Dallas. He will not play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders at MetLife Stadium because of the injury. McKinney, who missed the last two days of practice while in the COVID protocol, practiced fully Friday and is expected to play in the Giants’ ﬁnal game before their bye week. Both players were placed on the COVID list on Wednesday after twice testing positive. The Giants subsequently found out the testing company was reporting many false positives and started using a more advanced test to conﬁrm for the virus. The team said linebacker Lorenzo Carter (ankle), defensive back Nate Ebner (ankle) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quad) also will not play against the AFC West-leading Raiders (5-2). Las Vegas did not rule out any players returning from its bye week.

Throughout the season, every player improved his running time under the guidance of Coach Tim Prange. The team recently completed a successful season, winning seven of the nine contests they entered. Highlights include ﬁrst place ﬁnishes at the Vinton County Invitational (10 teams), Belpre Invitational (12 teams) and a third place ﬁnish at the Patty Forgery Invitational at Rio Grande (19 teams). They capped the season by ﬁnishing second to River Valley at the TVC Championships. Coach Prange said, “I was happy with the effort made by all the runners that came out for cross country this year. I am looking forward to watching them compete in high school.” At Wellston, Southern claimed the win over eight teams: South Webster, River Valley, Athens, Vinton County, Alexander, Nelsonville-York, and Huntington Ross. As in this instance, Southern was the smallest school in the meet; something they faced nearly everywhere they competed. At Wellston, Reed Brinager placed third in a ﬁeld of seventy-two, while Wyatt Smith was fourth, Andre Chandler seventh, Noah Leachman 13th, while Cohen Roush, and Caden Hupp ﬁnished in the top twenty-ﬁve at 22nd and 23rd. Southern claimed the win at the Vinton County Invitational over South Webster and Warren Local. Completing the ﬁnish were St. Mary’s, Athens, Jackson, NelsonvilleYork, Vinton County and Waverly. Brinager’s ﬁfth was best for Southern with Chandler 6th, and Leachman 9th. Smith, Roush, Hupp, Landen Smith, and Murphy Dunfee had good runs. At Fort Frye Southern won over Warren, Shenandoah, Fort Frye, Buckeye Trail, and Morgan Local. Warren’s Spencer Rehl bested Southern’s Reed Brinager by a small margin 12:16:1 to 12:32:9. Chandler, Leachman, and Fort Frye’s Caleb Schaad rounded Maintenance, service workers strike at WVa hospital HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Maintenance and service union workers at a West Virginia hospital went on strike Wednesday after their contract expired. About 1,000 members of the the Service Employees International Union District 1999 walked off the job at noon at Cabell Huntington Hospital, one of the largest employers in Huntington. In a statement, union district secretarytreasurer Joyce Gibson said hospital ofﬁcials “have repeatedly made it clear that they value proﬁts over workers and patients.” Cabell Huntington Chief Operating Ofﬁcer Tim Martin said the hospital was disappoint- ed that workers rejected a wage and beneﬁts offer. The hospital’s offer included 3% average annual wage increases, increased shift differentials, an enhanced uniform allowance and continued automatic annual contributions to eligible employees’ retirement accounts. Service employees also were asked to begin paying health insurance premiums. Under the hospital’s latest offer, it would have contributed more than 90% of health care costs for employees and their dependents. Martin said replacement service workers are now assisting with daily hospital operations. Murphy Dunfee, Jacob Wickline, Kase Nelson, and Caden Hupp scored well enough for Southern to gain a podium ﬁnish at third. Andre Chandler was the top runner in a ﬁeld of forty-nine pacing Southern to the win at Alexander. Reed Brinager was second, joining Warren’s Spencer Rehl on the podium. It was Southern, Warren, Athens, and Nelsonville-York rounding out the top four.

The district is funded by the Meigs Depot and continuing straight through to Point Pleasant and the Ohio state line. Completion of the massive project was made possible through Gov. Justice’s $2.8 billion Roads to Prosperity highway construction and maintenance program. The program, addressing roads and bridges all over the Mountain State, is the most aggressive highway construction program in West Virginia history. Gov. Justice kicked off the US Route 35 project back in 2019. County Board of Commissioners, and county funds are supplemented by funding from the Ohio Department of Agriculture and other partnering agencies. All of Ohio’s 88 counties have an SWCD. The Meigs SWCD ofﬁce is in Pomeroy at 113 East Memorial Drive. People wanting more information about district programs including equipment rentals may call 740-992-4282 or visit www.meigsswcd.com.

The project included 10 new bridges and a new interchange where US Route 35 meets WV 869. The project required a completely new alignment for the highway. Work crews moved approximately 16.8 million cubic yards of earth, laid more than 73,000 tons of asphalt, and put in more than 38,000 feet of drainage pipe for the project.
