VA Clinic to expand hours, services
Amber Gillenwater

mdtnews@mydailytribune.com

GALLIPOLIS — After nearly
two years of the tireless promotion
and advocacy for increased health
care services at the Gallipolis VA
Clinic, local veterans groups and
members of the Gallia County Veterans Service Office were pleased
with the recent announcement of
the increase in hours at the clinic
in Gallipolis.

The Gallipolis VA Clinic was
opened in September 2010, following years of support from area
veterans groups, and was dedicated amid fanfare from local dignitaries a month later.
Since that time, the facility, located at 323A Upper River Road
behind the Super 8 Motel in Gallipolis, has remained a two-day-aweek facility and has been open
to area veterans only on Tuesday
and Thursday each week.

A recent announcement from
the VA Medical Center in Huntington, the parent agency of the
clinic, indicates that, beginning
next month, the Gallipolis location will be open an additional
two days per week and will be
accessible on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday.
“We are pleased that the time
has come to expand our operating hours and physical space at
the Gallipolis VA Clinic,” Edward

Seiler, director of the Huntington
VA Medical Center said in a recent
statement. “Beginning October 9,
2012, the clinic will be open four
days a week, from 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., to ensure that we are able
to meet the increased demand for
services in southern Ohio.”
Dick Moore, who serves on
the Gallia County Veterans Service Commission as the Disabled
American Veterans (DAV) representative, not only spoke of his

satisfaction with the recent announcement, but also the resolve
of the service commission to continue to push for more and better
local services for veterans at the
Gallipolis clinic.
“We are very happy, but we are
not stopping at four days a week,”
Moore said.
According to Moore, the initial
understanding between officials

Deputies responded to an alleged shooting on Friday morning at
a residence on Ohio 325 north of Rio Grande. According to Gallia
County Sheriff Joe Browning, the incident was the result of a
father-and-son, domestic violence-related situation. The shooting victim remains in Saint Mary’s Medical Center.

Fun times by the river
The annual Sternwheel Riverfest in
Pomeroy featured
something for
everyone during its
three-day run, as
people from around
the area enjoyed
good music, food,
crafts, games, rides
and cruises along
the Ohio River.
Sternwheelers
and other boats
from near and far
crowded around
the Pomeroy boat
dock area on Friday
afternoon, prior
to several bands
taking to the amphitheatre later in
the evening. Others
still enjoyed playing games, such as
popping the balloons with a dart to
win prizes, or riding
amusement rides.
From one end of
the parking lot to
the other, vendors
lined the way with
plenty of people
to browse as they

Father hospitalized
after allegedly
being shot by son

mdtnews@mydailytribune.com

RIO GRANDE — A domestic violence situation
led to a shooting on Friday
morning at a residence just
north of the Village of Rio
Grande in Gallia County.
According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning,
deputies were dispatched to
a residence in the 2600 series of Ohio 325 in Raccoon
Township at approximately
9:41 a.m. following the report of a domestic-violence
shooting.
Arrested at the scene was
Clinton C. Eads as a suspect
in this case. The victim,
Jerry S. Eads, the reported

father of the suspect, was
transported by Gallia County EMS to Saint Mary’s
Medical Center in Huntington, W.Va., for injuries sustained during the shooting.
Browning reported that
deputies secured the residence and later processed
the scene with the assistance of agents with the
Ohio Bureau of Criminal
Identification and Investigation.
Clinton C. Eads was detained, and, late of Friday
evening, Browning announced that the suspect
had been released based on
interview with investigators
and information provided
by the shooting victim.
The case is being referred
to the Gallia County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
As of press time, the victim remained in the care of
Saint Mary’s Medical Center.

College fair set for Tuesday
at Meigs High School
Sarah Hawley

shawley@heartlandpublications.com

ROCKSPRINGS — Nearly 40 colleges and universities
from seven states are scheduled to be on hand Tuesday for
the first college fair hosted by Meigs High School.
The college fair will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday in
the high school cafeteria. The event is open to anyone, but
will be focused on current high school juniors and seniors.
While it is hosted by Meigs High School, students from any
of the area high schools — including those in neighboring
counties — are welcome to attend.
Meigs High School Guidance Counselor Sara Will said
this will be the first college fair to be held at the school.
Will has previously conducted three college fairs at Jackson
High School, where she was the guidance counselor.
Similar college fairs are held annually at locations such as
Hocking College and in Marietta, but are often held during
the day. Will stated that with this college fair, taking place
in the evening, will allow for more parents to attend with
their children.
Students and parents will be able to speak with representatives from each school about the campus life, financial
aid, and educational information such as majors offered by
the school.
“This will be a good opportunity for students in the area
to see what schools are available to them, as well as the

before they become a painful reality.
Since we don’t know just when that
time will come, it’s prudent to set up directives or create living wills fairly early in adulthood, especially if you have
strong feelings about what you would
like loved ones and physicians to do
if you become incapacitated. This can
help avoid painful family divisions such
as the one you are going through. But
since you have lived with your mother
and feel confident that you know what
she would want you to do now, you
should not be afraid to continue to advocate for her staying at home at this
time.
While your brothers are well-meaning and aim to prolong your mother’s
life as long as possible, they may need
your help in looking at the quality-oflife issues that also are important. A
study recently published in the journal
Archives of Internal Medicine surveyed
400 terminal cancer patients and their
caregivers, and found that the most important factors in a peaceful end-of-life
experience were the guidance of a doctor who treated the whole patient, the
absence of heroic measures or those
designed solely to prolong life, and a
home setting as opposed to an institutional one. Your brothers may benefit
from some discussion on these achievable goals.

The Gallia County Veterans Service Office currently
provides transportation to
the Huntington facility each
Monday for veterans who
have been referred to the
VA hospital.
In a recent statement
issued by Deborah Brammer, public affairs offices
at the VA Medical Center
in Huntington, plans for
expanding the facility have
also been announced by VA
officials.
The renovations will include the addition of new
space for specialty care services that will be available
through Telehealth conferencing with providers at the
Huntington facility, according to Brammer.
In addition, an enrollment fair will be held at
the clinic on October 12,
2012, from 1 to 4 p.m. The
fair will offer area veterans

the opportunity to determine their eligibility for VA
health care. Veterans wishing to enroll should bring
their military discharge
papers (DD214). Flu shots
will also reportedly be available at this event.
For more information
about eligibility and enrollment, veterans may contact
the enrollment office at the
Huntington facility at (304)
429-6741, ext. 3459, 2490
or 2496 or toll free at (800)
824-8277.
To schedule an appointment at the Gallipolis VA
Clinic, veterans can contact
the clinic directly at (740)
446-3934.

From Page A1
with the Huntington VA
Medical Center and the local veterans service office
was that the limited hours
of operation would only be
a temporary arrangement.
“We opened the clinic
and we had the understanding that when we reached
so many members or clients there, that they would
open it more than two days
a week,” Moore explained.
And, while an exact number cannot be provided by
the VA in Huntington, it is
estimated that approximately 1,000 veterans from not
only Gallia, but also Meigs,
Mason and other surrounding counties have registered
for services at the Gallipolis
clinic location.
The influx of registered
veterans can attributed, in
part, to the relocation of the

Gallia County Veterans Service Office next to the clinic
last December.
The office had previously been located on Jackson Pike and the veterans
service officials decided
to make the move to spur
greater use of the VA clinic.
“We feel that moving our
veterans service office next
to the VA clinic has not only
helped our work load, but
we are able to serve veterans better right beside the
clinic,” Moore said.
The veterans service officers, in their new office
space, were quick to send
veterans receiving services
through their office who
were also seeking health
care information, next door
to the clinic — an effort
that payed off.
According to Moore, the
need for additional hours
at the two-day-a-week facil-

ity became very apparent

A mix of small school and larger

“Many students just look in the

Will. She emphasized that while

there are good options locally,
there are opportunities at schools
in other areas if students are made
aware of them.

Exhibit: Ordinary stuff
Recovery is possible,
used
for
extraordinary
but we must take action
Kim Miller

Director of Corporate Development
at Prestera Center

All around us in our communities,
people are in recovery from mental and/
or substance use disorders. They are
contributing to our businesses, connecting with their families, and giving
back to the community. But if we want
more people to join them on a path of
recovery, we need to take action — now.
Too many people are still unaware that
prevention works and that addiction is a
disease that responds well to treatment,
just like other treatable health problems
like diabetes and hypertension. We need
to work together to understand that addiction is another type of health care
problem, and we need to make recovery
the expectation.
I have had the pleasure of seeing
firsthand the benefits of recovery. Individuals who embrace recovery achieve
improved mental and physical health,
stronger relationships and a sense of
self-worth. Mental and substance use
disorders do not discriminate — they
affect people of all ethnicities, ages,
genders, geographic regions and socioeconomic levels. People need treatment
and treatment is effective. We can’t be
discouraged by the prevalence of these
problems, because help is available.
To further educate communities
about the pathways to recovery and to
support people in recovery, every September, people throughout the Nation
celebrate National Recovery Month, an

initiative sponsored by the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
Prestera Center is celebrating Recovery Month by holding a variety of
educational and entertaining events in
our treatment programs to honor individuals and families who are in longterm recovery. By spreading the word
about treatment and recovery, you send
a signal that embraces recovery and
supports those working in the field to
provide much-needed recovery services.
I urge local businesses, community
organizations, colleges, schools, administrators and government agencies
to get involved in celebrating Recovery
Month. Let people know that help is
available and treatment works. Prestera
Center has been confidentially providing treatment services in our community for the past 45 years. New clients
are welcome to drop in to begin their recovery journey at our service locations
Monday through Friday between 8 and
9 a.m. Prestera Center also offers crisis
on-call services through 1-800-642-3434
any time. Visit our website at www.prestera.org and “like” us on Facebook. We
hope you will join us in celebrating September as Recovery Month!
(Kim Miller has managed and
worked in addictions recovery programs for more than twenty years. She
has worked as a professional at Prestera Center for almost 23 years and is a
Master Addictions Counselor. )

Letter to the Editor:

Reader questions law
enforcement qualifications
Dear Editor,
I would like to know how a person
could have 30 years law enforcement
experience and never have been to the
police academy? How is that person going to know what the laws are, how to
investigate a crime and supervise other
officers? I think the position of sheriff,
who will be responsible for our entire
county, should at least have been to the
academy and have had real officer training. Just ask yourself this question, if
you are a victim of a crime, who would
you rather be on the case … a guy who
has been security in a plant for almost

30 years and who sometimes plays a
police officer or someone who was a
real officer with academy training, state
trooper experience and experience in
the field of womens corrections, juvenile services and K-9? The answer is a
simple one. I know who I would choose.

Bruce Schreiner
Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — At first glance, a new museum exhibit in Kentucky seems to be an assortment of ordinary stuff: a hammer, shoes, scientific
instruments. On closer inspection, these unassuming items achieved the extraordinary.
The collection at Western Kentucky University
features more than 140 common items used by luminaries in entertainment, politics, art, literature,
sports and science.
There’s equipment used by explorer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck of the Titanic; a
film splicer from documentarian Ken Burns’ editing room and dance shoes worn by Liza Minnelli
in a Tony Award-winning performance.
Other items include a hammer used by former
President Jimmy Carter to build Habitat for Humanity houses, Jay Leno’s desk microphone for
several years on “The Tonight Show” and lab
equipment used by Nobel Prize-winning scientists.
It’s a mish-mash of “ordinary tools that helped
define a nation’s greatness,” WKU President Gary
Ransdell said.
The permanent exhibit, called the “Instruments
of American Excellence Collection” — opens
Sept. 21 at the Kentucky Museum on Western’s
campus in Bowling Green.
The collection is the brainchild of Dan Murph, a
country songwriter who lives near the WKU campus and in Nashville, Tenn.
Murph, the collection chairman, hopes the exhibit inspires visitors to pursue their own lofty
ambitions.
“If the collection causes just one person to reevaluate their career path or dream bigger or come
up with a new idea or dare to try something they
always wanted to try, then the collection is a total
success,” he said.
Murph approached Ransdell nearly two years
ago with his idea for the exhibit. Soon, a small
group of students and administrators was working with Murph on compiling a list of noteworthy
people to contact for donated items to build the
collection.
It didn’t take long: Sculptor Raymond Kaskey
sent an old wooden mallet used in some of his
award-winning work. Then came another big
catch — equipment used by Ballard, the famed un-

derwater explorer, to help connect his command
center with deep sea robots.
“That’s the first item where we looked at each
other and realized, ‘OK this can work, this is possible,’” Murph said.
The response rate would be the envy of any
solicitor. About three-quarters of those contacted
have contributed, Ransdell said. The university
spent about $125,000 to renovate and prepare the
exhibit space.
Items range from scholarly to whimsical.
There’s a bound copy of the U.S. Constitution
that now-retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra
Day O’Connor kept in her chambers and lab tools
used by Roger D. Kornberg, who won the Nobel
Prize in chemistry.
There are clown props from Hunter “Patch”
Adams, a doctor and social activist who was portrayed in a movie by Robin Williams.
There’s a studio microphone used by Sam Phillips to record the early hits of Elvis Presley, Johnny
Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tenn. There’s a fiddle from Charlie Daniels,
a customized baton from Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart and ballet shoes worn by acclaimed ballerina Sara Mearns.
There’s a racket from tennis great Chris Evert,
a skateboard from Tony Hawk, a soccer shoe from
Mia Hamm and a golf club from Jack Nicklaus.
Murph’s favorite item, though, is from someone
who’s not a household name.
It’s an old pair of tennis shoes worn by awardwinning teacher Rafe Esquith, known for getting
extraordinary academic results from students at an
inner-city school. Esquith said he believes teachers
should always be on their feet tending to students.
“That kind of gave me goosebumps,” Murph
said.
Carter’s hammer looks like “it’s driven in 10,000
nails,” Murph said.
“It changed what is expected of presidents once
they leave office,” he said. “They are no longer allowed to sit down and write their memoirs until
the day they die. They are expected to get off the
couch now and make a difference in the world.”
The items signify the hard work that went into
their endeavors.
“Sometimes greatness can be achieved with the
simplest of instruments or tools, if you’ve got the
mind, the heart and the spirit to put those tools to
work,” Ransdell said.

MIDDLEPORT — In regard to the
Meigs Local School District bus accident Thursday morning in which the
bus, driven by Yvonne Moore, struck
a utility pole in Middleport, Dean Harris, transportation supervisor, said the
reference to Moore having been “released from driving a bus” following
an earlier accident, was inaccurate as
reported in The Daily Sentinel.
He said at the time of the other accident, which he thought took place in
May, she was off work for a few days
due to an injury, but that she drove “all
last year and this year.”

Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A5

The information in the story was
an apparent misunderstanding of
the word “re-employ” as used in the
agenda item at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education, which stated “we bring back
on the floor the tabled motion from
the August 28, 2012 board meeting
and re-employ Yvonne Moore as a bus
driver on a continuing contract as recommended by Dean Harris, Transportation Supervisor.” The board members voted unanimously to re-employ
Moore.

While eight year old Amber Heil of Langsville had
not even been born when the planes crashed into
the twin towers, she knows all about that 9/11 event
and the significant place it holds in American history.
Attending a class where her grandmother, Michelle
Musser, was teaching art techniques, Amber asked to
see more pictures taken that day so that she could
draw something. The painting she displays here was
the result of her work. Amber is a third grader at the
Mid-Valley Christian School in Middleport. This was
not her first painting project. She has decorated ornaments and gourds and drawn pictures in the past
under the direction of her artistic grandmother.

Eagles wallop Waterford, 39-6
Kevin Pierson
Special to OVP

WATERFORD, Ohio — When
the Eastern Eagles needed the big
plays, all they had to do was turn
to the ground game and there they
were.
Eastern racked up 392 yards
rushing on 44 carries and scored
five touchdowns on the ground
as the Eagles soared past Waterford 39-6 at Waterford Elementary
School Friday night.
The Eagles’ 392 yards rushing

was 313 more than Waterford
managed as a team, and both running back Ethan Nottingham and
quarterback Joey Scowden rushed
for more yards individually than
the Wildcats’ combined.
“We played well, but we’ve got
to get better. We had over 100
yards in penalties,” said Eastern
football coach David Tennant.
Penalties were about the only
thing the Eagles did wrong, as
they racked up 12 of them for 110
yards in the game.

Despite all those miscues, the
Eagles still put up 15 first downs
and outgained Waterford by a
488-113 margin, converting on
numerous third downs.
“Every time we had them third
and long, they made it. We didn’t
get any stops when we needed to
make stops,” said Waterford football coach Tom Tucker.
As good as the ground game
was, it still took a little while for
the Eagles to get going.
Eastern turned the ball over on

downs on its first possession, and
punted on the second, but then
tallied two touchdowns on the
next four plays to go ahead 13-0.
Scowden got the scoring started when he scampered in from
46 yards out with 3:01 to play in
the first quarter, and then Eastern turned to a little trickery on a
third and 14 at their own 44.
Facing the long third down,
Scowden completed a pass to
Max Carnahan, and Carnahan
flipped the ball to Nottingham,

who covered the remaining 56
yards to paydirt for a 13-0 Eagle
advantage with 18.1 seconds in
the first quarter.
Down 13-0, Waterford strung
together a long drive, as the Wildcats took more than eight minutes
off the clock. But with the ball situated at the Eastern 14, a pair of
penalties and a sack of sophomore
quarterback Joe Pugh doomed the
drive.
“Our kids played hard. We had a

Special to OVP

MASON WV — Kane
Roush, Zach Wamsley and
Trenton Gibbs all topped
the 100 yard rushing plateau for the Wahama White
Falcons Friday evening as
the White Falcons claimed
its fourth straight win of the
2012 football season following a 47-20 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
victory over the visiting Belpre Golden Eagles.
Roush ran for 149 yards
in only five carries while
scoring three times on the
evening for the undefeated
red and white. The junior
speedster tallied scoring
jaunts of 53 and 45 yards
in addition to returning a
kickoff 80 yards for another
score.
Wamsley also reached the

end zone on three occasions
with touchdown bursts of
six, 22 and seven yards. The
senior added a pair of point
after touchdown kicks as
well as a 25 yard field goal
to go with 117 yards rushing in 14 tries.
Not to be outdone quarterback Trenton Gibbs
recorded yet another outstanding outing with the
veteran signal caller running
for 111 yards in 12 attempts
in addition to completing
three of seven passes on
the night for 83 yards and a
touchdown.
The gridiron victory
moves the fifth ranked
White Falcons season record to 4-0 overall and 3-0
inside the TVC Hocking.

Blue Devils maul Marietta, 63-13
Bryan Walters

bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

MARIETTA, Ohio — Now this
you could call a statement game.
Gallia Academy amassed 524
yards of total offense and scored
49 points in the first half alone, all
while snapping a two-game losing
skid Friday night following a 6313 drubbing of host Marietta in a
Week 4 non-conference football
contest at Don Drumm Stadium in
Washington County.
The visiting Blue Devils (2-2)
never trailed in the contest and limited the Tigers (1-3) to just 26 rushing yards on the night, as GAHS
stormed out to leads of 14-0 and
21-7 after one period of play.
The Blue and White followed
with a 28-6 surge in the second
quarter for a commanding 49-13
cushion at the break, then held
MHS scoreless the rest of the way
while tacking on points in each
of the final two stanzas to secure
their largest margin of victory (50
points) during Mike Eddy’s fouryear tenure as head coach.
The Blue Devils had seven different players score at least one
touchdown in the contest, and the
defense forced four Marietta turnovers — including one that led to
a touchdown just before the half.
Dylan Saunders was also perfect on
nine extra-point kicks in the rout.
Wade Jarrell opened the flood
gates early in the first quarter, as
his 11-yard TD run at 8:42 gave
GAHS a 7-0 advantage. Luke Pullins increased the lead to 14-0 with
4:06 left in the quarter after hauling in a 41-yard scoring pass from
Wade Jarrell.

Marietta cut the deficit in half at
14-7 after Quinton Coffield caught
a 60-yard bomb from Anthony
Kimbrough with 3:41 left in the
opening period, but GAHS retaliated with a score 18 seconds later
after Ty Warnimont rumbled 74
yards to paydirt — giving the Blue
Devils a 21-7 edge after one quarter
of play.
Jarrell added his second rushing
touchdown of the night at the 9:02
mark of the second stanza, as his
27-yard run pushed the Devils’ lead
to 28-7. Jarrell then found Justin
Bailey on a 58-yard scoring pass
with 7:45 left in the half, allowing
the guests to increase their lead to
35-7.
Jarrell’s third and final rushing touchdown of the night came
on a 20-yard scamper with 5:33
left in the second canto, increasing the Devils’ advantage to 42-7.
Nick Clagg added the final first half
score for GAHS with 5:12 left after
picking up a fumble and rumbling
30 yards to paydirt for a sizable
49-7 cushion.
The Tigers completed the first
half scoring with 31 seconds left
before the intermission, as Chance
Wright hauled in a three-yard pass
from Kimbrough for a 49-13 halftime score. The hosts never came
closer the rest of the way.
Cody Russell had a one-yard TD
run with 35 seconds left in the third
quarter for a 56-13 edge, and Logan
Allison wrapped up the scoring on
a 28-yard TD run with 11:09 left in
regulation.
Gallia Academy amassed 338
rushing yards on 42 carries and
gained another 156 yards through
the air, while Marietta had 26

rushing yards on 10 attempts and
added another 248 yards through
the passing game for a total of 274
offensive yards. GAHS was flagged
nine times for 81 yards, while the
hosts were penalized 10 times for
76 yards.
Jarrell led the rushing attack
with 86 yards on nine carries, while
Warnimont added 78 yards on two
tries. Clagg had 55 yards on seven
attempts, followed by Pullins with
53 yards on nine totes. Allison had
four carries for 33 yards and Russell mustered three yards on five
rushes.
Jarrell finished the night 5-of-8
passing for 156 yards and two TDs,
while Bailey led the wideouts with
three catches for 87 yards. Pullins
hauled in one pass for 41 yards and
Seth Atkins had one catch for 28
yards. Reid Eastman also had two
interceptions for the guests.
Kimbrough led Marietta with 23
rushing yards on seven attempts
and also finished the night 24-of44 passing for 248 yards, including
two touchdowns and two interceptions. Wright led the MHS wideouts with 14 catches for 124 yards,
while Coffield had four grabs for 87
yards.
Gallia Academy — the only
SEOAL school to win in Week 4 —
has now won four straight against
MHS while improving to 22-4 alltime in the head-to-head series.
The Blue Devils return to Memorial Field next weekend for
a Week 5 non-conference game
against Vinton County. Kickoff is
scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Gallia Academy, Logan play to 1-1 draw
Craig Dunn
Special to OVP

LOGAN — A second-half goal enabled the Logan Chieftains to tie visiting Gallipolis 1-1 in a Southeastern
Ohio Athletic League soccer match
Thursday night in Logan Chieftain
Stadium.
Gallia Academy’s Zach Stewart
scored with 23:25 left in the first half
when the Blue Devils got a ball to the
end line and cut it back deep, where
Stewart was poised to score from 18
yards out to the back side of the goal.
Stewart “hit a great shot,” said Logan coach Ian Riddlebarger. “It was
disappointing, as they hadn’t really
threatened us and we had had the better of play. We continued to have more
of the ball but failed to generate any
real good shots on goal.”
It was more of the same in the second half as Riddlebarger noted the
Chiefs (1-3-2 overall, 0-1-2 SEOAL)

possessed and moved the ball very
well but had trouble converting.
“We possessed and moved… better
than I can think of too many Logan
teams doing,” Riddlebarger noted.
“The final third of the field was our
letdown. We tried to play through
balls but kept putting too much on the
pass, just like (against) Jackson.
“It’s a fast-moving field and kind of
tricky to put the proper weight on the
pass,’ he added of the Logan Chieftain
Stadium surface. “The guys are used
to grass at practice but we have to do
a better job of adjusting to playing on
turf.”
The Chieftains finally broke through
with 12:33 remaining when Gallia
Academy goalkeeper Alex Greer fell
down when pressured by Alex Keith
and Logan’s Peyton Quier was johnnyon-the-spot for the cleanup goal from
the top of the box.
Ninety seconds later, the Chiefs had
another great scoring chance when

the ball was played into the GAHS
6-yard box. The Blue Devils blocked a
couple shots and Zach Williams had a
point-blank attempt saved by a diving
Greer.
“There were a lot of things we did
well tonight, what we wanted to do,”
Riddlebarger noted. “You have to generate and convert scoring chances
(Logan had 16 shots, but only five
were on goal) to win in this game and
we aren’t doing enough of that.”
Logan goalkeeper Cody Wilson
played well and made four saves for
the Chiefs.
Kyle Cassady had a hat trick, scoring three goals in the Chiefs’ 7-0 junior varsity victory. Caleb Keck scored
twice and Riley McCabe and Nathan
Kudlapur both added one. Parker
Bungard (two), Keck, McCabe and
Charles Bowlby all added assists.

Blue Angels outlasts Logan

Centenary, Ohio — Back on
track.
The Gallia Academy volleyball team defeated Southeastern
Ohio Athletic League foe Logan
in three games Thursday night
to get back to its winning ways.
GAHS (7-1, 3-0 SEOAL)
won the first game 26-24 over

the Lady Chieftains (7-4, 1-2),
while taking the second game
31-29, and the third game 2517.
The Blue Angels were led in
scoring by Kendra Barnes, who
had 15 points on the night.
Kassie Shriver had 11 points
for Gallia Academy, while Haleigh Caldwell had nine points
and Bre West had eight. Mag-

gie Westfall and Riley Nibert
each finished with one point
to round out the GAHS scoring. Barnes had four aces for
the Gallia Academy, followed
by West, Caldwell and Shriver
with two apiece, and Westfall
with one.
Westfall led the Blue Angels
net attack with eight kills on
the night, followed by Nibert

with seven and West with six.
Caldwell finished with four kills
while Barnes finished with two
on the night. Chelsy Slone and
Micah Curfman each had one
kill for Gallia Academy. Nibert
finished with three blocks on
the night, while Westfall had
one.
West led the Blue Angels in
digs with 14 on the night, fol-

lowed by Westfall and Nibert
with eight apiece. Barnes had
five digs, Shriver had three,
Slone and Curfman each had
two, and Caldwell had one dig
for the victors. Shriver led
GAHS with 10 assists in the
triumph, followed by West with
six. Slone, Curfman and Nibert each had one assist on the
night.

Falcons
From Page B1
TVC Hocking Division
race.
Wahama got off to a
quick start by scoring
four times in the opening
period. Roush rambled
53 yards on the Falcons
first play from scrimmage before a short four
yard punt by the Golden
Eagles that appeared to
be partially blocked by
Colton Neal gave Wahama excellent field position on the Belpre 24

yard line. Three plays
later Wamsley bulled his
way in from six yards out
to give WHS an early 13-0
edge. Wamsley would
later add a 25 yard field
goal in the initial quarter
before Roush capped the
first period scoring for
the Bend Area team with
an electrifying 80 yard
kickoff return.
Belpre recorded its
lone touchdown of the
opening half late in the
first canto when quarterback Tavian Miller lofted

a 76 yard scoring pass to
Cody Martin. Jamie Miller kicked the point after
to cut the deficit to 16 at
23-7 after one stanza.
WHS added a pair of
scores in the second
quarter with Gibbs tossing a 35 yard touchdown
pass to Austin Cole prior to a 22 yard run by
Wamsley to make the
halftime score 35-7.
The two teams traded
touchdowns in the third
period with Wamsley
running seven yards for

a score before Belpre
countered with a 38 yard
pass from Miller to Nate
Teeters. Roush added
a 45 yard run midway
through the third quarter before Manney Tillius concluded the nights
scoring activity with a 51
yard run to paydirt.
Wahama
totaled
a
whopping 503 yards on
the night with 420 yards
coming on the ground
and another 83 through
the airways. The bend
area team piled up 21

first downs while losing
two of four fumbles.
After giving up 303
yards through the air last
week against Eastern the
White Falcon defensive
secondary allowed 217
yards and two touchdowns against the Golden Eagles. Belpre moved
the chains 13 times and
tallied 128 yards rushing for a net 345 yards
in total offense. The
Golden Eagles had one
pass picked off by Austin Jordan and received

a 14 carry, 105 yard
rushing effort by Manney Tillius while Miller
connected on 11 of 29
passes for 217 yards and
two scores.
Following a two game
home stand the White
Falcons will close out
the first half of the 2012
season next Friday with a
journey to league foe Waterford. Belpre hosts Federal Hocking in search of
its second win of the year
in its next grid encounter.

Leading by just a single
score, the Eagles took
advantage of Waterford’s
miscues to transform the
game.
Eastern took possession at their own 49 after
the kickoff return, and
moved down to the 20 before a pair of sacks and an
incomplete pass set up a
fourth-and-30.
Scowden then completed a pass to Nottingham
for 20 yards, and the Eagles benefited from a personal foul penalty against
Waterford to take a first
down at the 10. Scowden

then scampered into the
end zone on the next play
to set the halftime score,
19-6 in favor of Eastern.
After a first half that
was very competitive,
Eastern turned up the
heat in the second half,
allowing Waterford to run
just 14 plays from scrimmage in the second half,
excluding punts.
Gaining 110 yards in
the first half, the Wildcats
managed just three yards
of offense in the final two
quarters of play.
“We still thought coming into the second half if

we came out and made a
statement that first drive
we’d be okay,” Tucker
said.
Instead of a statement,
the Wildcats saw their
first drive of the second
half end quickly as Pugh’s
pass was intercepted by
Alex Amos, who recorded a pair of picks in the
game.
Eastern then covered
56 yards to score, with
Scowden connecting with
Nottingham on a 6-yard
touchdown pass with 9:02
in the third quarter.
A three-and-out by the
Wildcats, who did not
gain a first down in the
second half after a personal foul penalty against
Eastern on the first play
from scrimmage, gave the

ball back to the Eagles.
Five
plays
later,
Scowden recorded his
third rushing TD of the
game, this time from 23
yards out.
The final score of the
game came again via the
ground, with Scowden running in from 27 yards out
with 7:39 to play amidst
some tensions on the field.
On Scowden’s run, a minor fisticuff took place on
the field, with the officials
initially electing to eject a
pair of players, one each
from the Wildcats and Eagles.
Instead of the ejection,
the officials decided to
have the coaches remove
the players from the game,
thereby making them eligible to play next week.

Under Ohio High School
Athletic Association guidelines, any player ejected in
an athletic contest must sit
out the next two games,
or one game in football.
Following the brief
flaring of tempers, the
two teams reserve units
traded stalled drives,
with Eastern running out
the clock when Triston
Goodnite picked up seven
yards to push the ground
total to its final mark of
392 for the Eagles.
“We played well, but I
can’t wait until we start
doing the little things
right, because it’ll be really special,” Tennant said.

Eagle
From Page B1
lot of good plays, and then
we’d have an offsides or
we’d have a hold,” Tucker
lamented.
The Wildcats finally got on
the board with 1:51 to play
in the first half when Kyle
Miller intercepted a screen
pass by Eastern and gave Waterford the ball at the Eagles’
5-yard line. One play later,
Derek Brown gave the Wildcats’ their only score.
“That was a great play on
their part. You can’t take it
away from them,” Tennant
said.

Falcons soar past South Gallia, 26-16
bwalters@heartlandpublications.com

MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— Nothing covers up flaws
on a gridiron like a good
old-fashioned rushing attack.
Despite seven fumbles
and 110 yards in penalties,
visiting Miller churned out
244 of its 360 yards of total offense on the ground
Friday night en route to a
26-16 victory over South
Gallia during a Week 4 TriValley Conference Hocking
Division matchup of winless teams in Gallia County.
The Falcons (1-3, 1-2
TVC
Hocking)
found
themselves in an early 8-0
hole after a fumble led to
the Rebels’ only lead of
the night, but Miller responded with scores in
each quarter and 26 consecutive points en route to
a comfortable 26-8 cushion
midway through the fourth
period.
The host Rebels (0-4,
0-3) — who amassed only
84 of their 246 total yards
on the ground — finally
came up with their first
offensive touchdown with
3:05 left in regulation, but
South Gallia came no closer than the final 10-point
outcome the rest of the
way.
Miller — which ended
a four-game losing skid
against SGHS — forced
four turnovers and finished
plus-1 in turnover differen-

tial on the night, despite
being flagged 13 times
for 110 yards in penalties.
South Gallia — which recovered three MHS fumbles — was penalized five
times for 55 yards.
South Gallia fumbled
away its opening possession of the game, but the
Falcons returned the favor
on their opening drive
— as the guests marched
down to the SGHS 27-yard
line. Colton Pargeon had
the ball stripped away on
a third-and-2 attempt, and
the Rebels’ Brandon Campbell picked up the loose ball
and scampered 73 yards to
paydirt.
Campbell’s score — combined with a successful
Landon Hutchinson PAT
run — gave the hosts an
early 8-0 cushion with 7:27
left in the opening canto.
Miller, however, caught
a better bounce on its
next drive, as the Falcons
marched 62 yards in nine
plays for their first score.
Facing a second-and-goal
at the Rebel four, Kaleb
McKinniss took a handoff
and appeared to be headed
toward the goal line when
the ball popped out on the
ground. Nick Lanning fell
on the loose ball in the endzone with 3:39 left in the
first, allowing MHS to pull
within 8-6 after one quarter
of play.
South Gallia suffered a
loss of downs on its ensuing drive, which made it

down to the Miller 25-yard
line. Eleven plays and 75
yards later, the Falcons had
their first lead of the night
with 4:20 remaining in the
first half after Garrett Sinift
completed the drive with a
five-yard scoring run — giving the guests a 13-8 advantage at the intermission.
Kody McKinniss delivered the back-breaker on
the opening kickoff of the
second half, as the freshman
rumbled 79 yards down to
the Rebel six — setting up
a first-and-goal. Two plays
and six yards later, Pargeon
scored on a six-yard run
with 11:06 left in the period — giving Miller a 20-8
third-quarter lead.
Miller ate up significant
amounts of clock in the
second half by running the
football, and the final nail
in the coffin came with
5:55 left in regulation —
as Dustin Spencer bullied
his way in from six yards
out. Spencer’s run capped a
four-play, 43-yard drive that
gave MHS its biggest lead
of the night at 26-8.
Kane Hutchinson hauled
in a six-yard scoring pass
from Landon Hutchinson
with 3:05 remaining, and
the duo hooked up again
through the air on the
two-point conversion attempt — making it a 26-16
contest. The final scoring
drive of the night covered
72 yards in seven plays.
SGHS retained one last
possession with 1:21 re-

maining, but Miller’s Skylar Baker came up with an
interception with less than
30 seconds left in regulation. MHS took one snap,
went to a knee and started
celebrating their first win
of the 2012 campaign.
Miller claimed a 15-12
edge in first downs and
finished the night with
116 more yards offensively
than the hosts. Miller had
56 carries for 244 rushing
yards and added another
116 yards through the air,
while the Rebels had 26
rushes for 84 yards while
passing for another 246
yards.
Landon Hutchinson led
the Rebels ground game
with 45 yards on 18 attempts, while Ethan Spurlock added three totes for
30 yards. Jarred Northup
and Dakota Wroten each
had two carries for eight
yards and four yards, respectively.
Landon
Hutchinson
finished the night 13-of29 passing for 162 yards,
which included a touchdown and two interceptions. Shane Brumfield led
the wideouts with 72 yards
on two catches, while Northup had 42 yards on two
grabs. Kane Hutchinson
had three receptions for 31
yards, Spurlock hauled in four
passes for nine yards and Jared
Nolan had two grabs for eight
yards.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Hats off.
The Ohio Valley Christian soccer team
edged visiting Belpre Thursday night 3-2 in
Gallia County, thanks in large part to a hat
trick by senior Caleb McKitrick.
The Golden Eagles got things started in the
fifth minute with a goal form Dakota Hoffman,
but the Defenders (6-2-0) soon answered. Caleb McKitrick took a volley pass across the
box from Chance Burleson and put it in the
back of the net to tie the game up at the 14th
minute. At the 34th minute McKitrick netted
his second goal of the game, and yet again it
came off of Burleson’s assist. OVCS held the
2-1 advantage at halftime.
Just 15 minutes into the second half Hoffman drove down the field from the back line
and gave tied the game up at two apiece with
his second goal of the game. The Defenders
answered back quickly, when at the 58th minute McKitrick took the pass from Evan Bowman and placed his shot right over the goal
keeper and into the back of the net for his
third goal of the game. OVCS held on to win
3-2, improving to 6-2-0 on the season.
McKitrick had all three goals for the Defenders, while Burleson had two assists and
Evan Bowman had one. Goal keeper Marshall
Hood stopped six shots for the Defenders on
the night. Ohio Valley Christian had 14 shots
on goal and one corner kick in the contest.
Hoffman had both goals for the Golden Eagles, while goal keeper Ryan Epperly had 11
saves. Belpre had eight shots on goal and two
corner kicks on the night.

Pink heelsplitters and fat muckets.
If those names sound unfamiliar to
you, you might be surprised to find
they could literally be right beneath
your feet. Those are the names of
some of the freshwater mussel species recently reintroduced into Leading Creek.
The reintroduction project was
carried out by Dr. Tom Watters, who
is curator of molluscs at Ohio State
University and science director of
the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s
Freshwater Mollusc Conservation
Facility.
The species’ names might be a
little unflattering, and mussels aren’t
particularly racy or exciting, they
don’t make a lot of noise or cause any
problems, but while their lives are
generally spent entirely out of sight
and out of mind, they have a fascinating life process and are valuable indicator species used in determining the
health of a stream or body of water.
Dr. Watters (Isn’t that a perfect
name for someone who has devoted
his life to studying aquatic creatures?) will also be the guest speaker
at the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District’s annual meeting
banquet and election, which will be
held on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. at
Meigs High School .
Dr. Watters is a native of Beavercreek but by his description “at an
early age contracted the Jacques
Cousteau Syndrome and decided
marine mollusks were his calling.”

many people don’t care or even realize they are even there.
In addition to hearing Dr. Watters’ entertaining discussion of
mussels, attendees at the meeting
will elect two board members to the
Meigs SWCD Board of Supervisors
to serve terms commencing January, 2013. This year’s candidates are
Joe Bolin of Rutland, Kim Romine,
Pomeroy, and Adam Woirol, Langsville.
Voting will take place that night
6-7 p.m. Residents or landowners,
firms and corporations that own
land or occupy land in Meigs County and are 18 years of age or older
may vote for supervisor. A non-resident landowner, firm or corporation
must provide an affidavit of eligibility which includes designation of a
voting representative prior to casting a ballot.
There are three ways an eligible
voter can cast a ballot: at the annual
meeting, at the SWCD office from 8
a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 25, or via absentee ballot. Absentee ballots can
be requested at the Meigs SWCD office at 33101 Hiland Road, Pomeroy
OH and must be received no later
than Sept. 25.

He received his BS at the University
of Miami, Fla., his master’s degree at
the University of Rhode Island and
his Ph.D. at Ohio State University
but having returned to Ohio and, as
he explained, discovering a severe
lack of oceans he turned to freshwater and land mollusks.
He has authored two books, several book chapters and more than 40
papers in peer-reviewed journals. His
research interests include the biology
of freshwater mussels and zoogeography of Caribbean land snails.
Locally he has been involved in the
reintroduction of native mussels into
Leading Creek following the 1993
mine dewatering into that stream.
While I won’t disclose exactly
where the mussels were released,
the stocking process wasn’t exactly
what I had imagined. In my mind I
had pictured that we would gently
and carefully place them into prepared spots in the streambed where
they could settle into their new
homes, all safe and snug.
The process doesn’t work like
that; instead they were just unceremoniously plopped into place
where Dr. Watters assured us they
would burrow themselves into the
substrate.
Mussels are particularly vulnerable to changes in water quality and
aquatic habitat; unlike other aquatic
or semi-aquatic creatures they can’t
swim, run or fly away from pollution
or other changes. Many mussel species have gone extinct in the past
hundred years or so, but because
they are so quiet and unobtrusive,

POMEROY, Ohio —Playing
their best golf when it matters
most.
The Meigs golf team as it
defeated Vinton County and
Nelsonville-York in a tri match
Thursday at The Meigs County Golf Course.The match was
contested under the play six,
count four format, and was a
Tri-Valley Conference Ohio
Division match. The host Marauders shot a 173 on the day,
while Nelsonville-York posted

a 173 and Vinton County posted a 206.
Meigs was led by match medalist Treay McKinney, who posted
a season low round of 37 for the
Marauders. Chris Folmer and
Gage Gilkey both carded 45’s for
MHS while Taylor Rowe rounded out the team total with a 46.
Braden Spencer (47) and David

Buffalo outlasts field in quad match
Bob Blessing
Special to OVP

I have seen many, many
high school golf matches.
Never have I seen one that
developed like the one at
the Meadowlands Golf
Course in Buffalo Thursday evening.
The number one players from Buffalo, Wahama
and Point Pleasant traded
pars and a few birdies
during the entire match.
The end result was that
all three of the young
men shot a one under par
35 for the contest. Corey
Hoshor from Buffalo, Dakota Sisk of Wahama and
Point’s Erik Allbright all
had the lead at one time or

another, but none of them
would give in to the others. It was actually fitting
that all 3 shared medalist
honors for the contest.
Buffalo came out on top
for the match shooting a
team total of 162 in the
play 6, count 4 format.
Wahama was a close second shooting 166 while
Point Pleasant was just
another 2 strokes back
with a 168. River Valley
finished 4th with a total
of 184.
In addition to Hoshor’s
35, Buffalo received a fine
37 from Bradley Harris.
Blaik Caplinger added a
44 while Nick Whittington shot 46 to account for
the 4 scores that counted

Miscellaneous

for the winners. Tyler Sowards and Alex Rayburn
also played for Buffalo.
Dakota Sisk’s 35 was
his second sub 40 round
this week. He received
excellent support from
Caroline Thompson who
shot her career best round
of 40 This score brought
several comments from
opposing players that this
girl was not just another
pretty face. Samuel Gordon
turned in a solid 42 for the
day while Michael Hendricks, in spite of continued
putting woes, added a 49
to account for the 4 scores
that gave Wahama its final
tally. Benjamin Foreman
and Mason Hicks turned in
non counting scores for the

White Falcons.
Erik Allbright’s 35 was
supported by a 43 from
Denver Thomas. Kelsey
Allbright added a 44 with
Adam Thomas posting a
46 to account for the Big
Black’s total score. John
Rhea and Rett Lanier also
played for Point Pleasant.
River Valley was led by
a 42 from freshman Logan
Sheets. Dan Goodrich
shot 44. Both Jordan
Howell and Jacob Gilmore each contributed 49
to give River Valley their
total score. Zack Morris
and Cliff Chapman also
played for River Valley.

Cruising the Ohio
POMEROY — Many senior citizens, Rock Springs
Rehabilitation Center patients and Carleton School
and Workshop participants
were treated to a special
cruise on the Sternwheel
Ruble Friday afternoon as a
part of Riverfest.
The hour-long cruise gave
the participants not only a
look of the Bend area from
the center of the river but
also included entertainment
by humorous story tellers,
Donna Wilson and Suzanne
Holstein, also known as
“Granny Sue,” and musician, Jeff Seager. The artists are part of the River’s
Edge Program funded by the
Ohio River Border Initiative
through programming in
cooperation with the Ohio

ies) with sour bunch rot and the
content of the rotting fruit smells
strongly of vinegar. The berries
become off-color and begin to
shrink; this is not a dry rot and
berries may leak contents.
Powdery mildew infections and
insects such as grape berry moth
can predispose clusters to infection. Drosophila fruit flies (a.k.a.
vinegar flies, wine flies and pomace flies) can also spread the infection. Sour bunch rot appears to
be a complex of several organisms
including fungi, yeast and bacteria. There is no product specifically recommended for prevention of
sour bunch rot. However, prevention of other disease and insect
problems that can exacerbate sour
bunch rot problems is a recommended course of action. Infected
clusters should be destroyed as
incorporating them into the must
can lead to off flavors.”
***
The next few days are the last
days to reseed bare and dead
spots in the lawn. We have had
sufficient rainfall to see whether
a lawn is coming back from the
drought. Take care of re-seeding
quickly in order to take advantage
of the cool nights and warm days
of late summer and early fall.

Grass seed germinates best in
this type of weather and needs
to have sufficient time to grow
in the fall in order to be ready for
winter’s cold. In lawns containing
mostly Kentucky bluegrass, small
bare spots (sliver-dollar-size or
less) will likely fill in this fall as
growth resumes. In turf type tall
or fine fescue lawns (they don’t
spread by rhizomes) these spots
will not fill in and should be repaired by reseeding. Bare spots
that are not reseeded will quickly
be overtaken by weeds this fall
or early next spring by crabgrass
since there is no competition with
turf.
When renovating dead spots,
be sure to select the grass species that matches or blends with
what is already in the lawn. For instance, if one reseeds a Kentucky
bluegrass lawn (fine blades) with
a turf type tall fescue (thicker
blades and clump growing), one
will definitely notice the difference in the new areas and the rest
of the lawn.
In order for the new grass to
thrive (and not just survive)
make sure the seed is in contact
with soil and exposed to sunlight.
Maximum germination of turf
grass seed occurs when the seed

receives full-sun. In other words,
rake to remove dead plants and to
loosen the soil before depositing
seed.
Additionally, adequate moisture
is essential to ensure new seedling
survival; don’t let them dry out
during the establishment period.
A “starter” fertilizer should be
applied at the time of seeding or
shortly after seeding. Do not use a
fertilizer that is combined with a
weed control product, unless the
product is clearly labeled for use
on newly seeded lawns.

Exhibit: Ordinary stuff used for extraordinary
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — At
first glance, a new museum exhibit in Kentucky seems to be
an assortment of ordinary stuff:
a hammer, shoes, scientific instruments. On closer inspection, these unassuming items
achieved the extraordinary.
The collection at Western Kentucky University features more
than 140 common items used
by luminaries in entertainment,
politics, art, literature, sports
and science.
There’s equipment used by explorer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck of the Titanic;
a film splicer from documentarian Ken Burns’ editing room and
dance shoes worn by Liza Minnelli in a Tony Award-winning
performance.
Other items include a hammer
used by former President Jimmy
Carter to build Habitat for Humanity houses, Jay Leno’s desk
microphone for several years
on “The Tonight Show” and lab
equipment used by Nobel Prizewinning scientists.
It’s a mish-mash of “ordinary
tools that helped define a nation’s greatness,” WKU President Gary Ransdell said.
The permanent exhibit, called
the “Instruments of American
Excellence Collection” — opens
Sept. 21 at the Kentucky Museum on Western’s campus in
Bowling Green.
The collection is the brainchild
of Dan Murph, a country songwriter who lives near the WKU
campus and in Nashville, Tenn.
Murph, the collection chairman, hopes the exhibit inspires
visitors to pursue their own lofty
ambitions.
“If the collection causes just
one person to re-evaluate their

career path or dream bigger or
come up with a new idea or dare
to try something they always
wanted to try, then the collection
is a total success,” he said.
Murph approached Ransdell
nearly two years ago with his
idea for the exhibit. Soon, a
small group of students and administrators was working with
Murph on compiling a list of
noteworthy people to contact for
donated items to build the collection.
It didn’t take long: Sculptor
Raymond Kaskey sent an old
wooden mallet used in some of
his award-winning work. Then
came another big catch — equipment used by Ballard, the famed
underwater explorer, to help
connect his command center
with deep sea robots.
“That’s the first item where
we looked at each other and realized, ‘OK this can work, this is
possible,’” Murph said.
The response rate would be
the envy of any solicitor. About
three-quarters of those contacted have contributed, Ransdell
said. The university spent about
$125,000 to renovate and prepare the exhibit space.
Items range from scholarly to
whimsical.
There’s a bound copy of the
U.S. Constitution that nowretired Supreme Court Justice
Sandra Day O’Connor kept in
her chambers and lab tools used
by Roger D. Kornberg, who won
the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
There are clown props from
Hunter “Patch” Adams, a doctor and social activist who was
portrayed in a movie by Robin
Williams.
There’s a studio microphone
used by Sam Phillips to record

the early hits of Elvis Presley,
Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis at Sun Studio in Memphis,
Tenn. There’s a fiddle from Charlie Daniels, a customized baton
from Boston Pops conductor
Keith Lockhart and ballet shoes
worn by acclaimed ballerina Sara
Mearns.
There’s a racket from tennis
great Chris Evert, a skateboard
from Tony Hawk, a soccer shoe
from Mia Hamm and a golf club
from Jack Nicklaus.
Murph’s favorite item, though,
is from someone who’s not a
household name.
It’s an old pair of tennis shoes
worn by award-winning teacher
Rafe Esquith, known for getting
extraordinary academic results
from students at an inner-city
school. Esquith said he believes
teachers should always be on
their feet tending to students.
“That kind of gave me goosebumps,” Murph said.
Carter’s hammer looks like
“it’s driven in 10,000 nails,”
Murph said.
“It changed what is expected
of presidents once they leave
office,” he said. “They are no
longer allowed to sit down and
write their memoirs until the day
they die. They are expected to
get off the couch now and make
a difference in the world.”
The items signify the hard
work that went into their endeavors.
“Sometimes greatness can be
achieved with the simplest of instruments or tools, if you’ve got
the mind, the heart and the spirit to put those tools to work,”
Ransdell said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
Sept. 17, 2012:
This year you express your compassion, which you demonstrate through
your actions. You often will carry more
than your share of responsibilities, and
will handle them magnificently. The
result could be that others will want
you to accept more and more responsibility. Know when to say “no,” or you
might not have any free time this year.
If you are single, you could attract
someone who is emotionally unavailable. Take a full year before considering this bond seriously. If you are
attached, the two of you gain through
mini escapes from reality into your
own world. Try to take more weekends
away together. Try not to be possessive of LIBRA.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Defer to others, and you will
enjoy watching them deal with various issues that you face every day.
Hopefully, you will be appreciated
more as a result. Optimism surrounds
communication. Some of you will have
a long-awaited call come in. Tonight:
Go through your choices.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH An unexpected revelation
could encourage you to slow down.
Express your feelings with sensitivity,
and note the response you get. Your
sixth sense comes through, especially
with finances and your dealings with
others. Tonight: Work through a problem by getting some exercise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Where others seem to hit
a dead end, you naturally continue in
the right direction. Whether or not you
are aware of it, you are an endless
source of information and creativity to
many people. Rethink a problematic
situation with confidence. Tonight:
Whatever puts a smile on your face.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You juggle different concerns, especially involving your home
and domestic life. More often than
not, your concerns revolve around this
area of your life. Stop to get a token of
affection for a not-too-happy camper in
your life. Tonight: Chill at home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You share, and others
respond; however, there is no guarantee that you will like their answer. Be
ready to take a leap of faith and handle a personal matter. You might want
to reorganize your schedule in order to
deal with another issue. Tonight: Meet

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Be aware of your finances
and how much you need to spend.
Revise your budget, and be careful not to strap yourself too tight. A

how impressed he or she is with your
actions. Tonight: Take a risk, but do so
carefully.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You smile, and others find
your positive mood contagious. When
you reach out to have an important
discussion with someone, keep that
smile on your face. Do not feel as if a
problem cannot be solved. It can —
just not on your schedule. Tonight: Be
prepared to take a risk.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH The less said right now, the
better. You know the power of words,
and whether or not you are aware of
it, you are experiencing a change that
could transform your opinions. For
this reason, keep your thoughts and
judgments to yourself. Tonight: Vanish
while you can.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Meetings with groups and
individuals punctuate your day. You
gain through open conversation and
mutual respect. An opportunity comes
in the form of another person, and simply could walk right through your door.
Be careful with financial risks. Tonight:
Where your friends are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH A must appearance arises
again when in a leadership position.
You might wonder what would be the
best way to proceed. You laugh, and
someone responds. People naturally
seem to follow you. Others appreciate
your sense of responsibility and your
efforts. Tonight: Get errands done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Listen to your need to reach
out for someone at a distance. You
could feel very uncomfortable at first,
but ultimately you’ll feel much better.
Reveal your feelings. Remain cool
in your dealings, even if you need to
process a substantial change. Tonight:
Detach from a hot situation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Work with a key partner
directly; you could find the interaction
exciting. You might decide to change
the direction of an idea or project.
A family member or domestic issue
demands your attention, no matter
what you want to do. Tonight: With a
favorite person.

New players, new
approaches to ranking colleges
Justin Pope
AP Education Writer

U.S. News &amp; World
Report may still be the

Driving
Sales
When it comes to cars, nothing has more horsepower than
newspaper advertising to ignite consumers. Auto shoppers
absorb a great deal of information from a cornucopia of sources
but rely on newspapers to help them make a sound choice.

#1:

National dealership entry and exit polls conducted by CNW
Research asked consumers for the reason for visiting a dealership
on a particular day. Newspaper (print and online) was the number
one reason. At 56.8%, more consumers cite newspapers than all
other media combined.

Primary:

Local newspaper advertising (print and online) is
The Primary Source of information for consumers during the critical
last stages of the decision making process. 16.59% rely on newspaper advertising as the main source during the last two weeks before
buying. More than any other information source.

800-pound gorilla of college rankings. But with a
formula that rarely changes,
the latest edition — out
Wednesday — looks pretty
much the same as a decade
ago, with very few exceptions.
More interesting are a
pair of newer players to the
rankings game. Both have
shortcomings, but both produce a top-colleges list that
looks somewhat different
from the magazine’s (where
Princeton and Harvard
share the top spot, just like
last year). And neither relies on information provided
by the colleges themselves;
more and more schools have
been caught fudging the
numbers they give to U.S.
News.
More broadly, the new
players offer data intriguing
even to those who don’t buy
the idea that colleges can
be ranked like their football
teams.
The first, now in its second year, comes from a
company called Parchment.
com, whose main business
is serving as electronic middleman between students at
7,500 high schools and the
colleges where they send
transcripts. But through
a college search function,
the site has collected valuable and otherwise hard-tocome-by data: It knows the
names of the colleges where
200,000 students nationwide applied, got accepted,
and chose to attend.

Sternwheelers
and other boats
from near and far
crowded around
the Pomeroy boat
dock area on Friday
afternoon, prior
to several bands
taking to the amphitheater later in

Staff Report

GALLIPOLIS — After nearly two years of the tireless promotion
and advocacy for increased health care services at the Gallipolis VA
Clinic, local veterans groups and members of the Gallia County Veterans Service Office were pleased with the recent announcement of
the increase in hours at the clinic in Gallipolis.
The Gallipolis VA Clinic was opened in September 2010, following years of support from area veterans groups, and was dedicated
amid fanfare from local dignitaries a month later.
Since that time, the facility, located at 323A Upper River Road
behind the Super 8 Motel in Gallipolis, has remained a two-day-aweek facility and has been open to area veterans only on Tuesday
and Thursday each week.
A recent announcement from the VA Medical Center in Huntington, the parent agency of the clinic, indicates that, beginning next
month, the Gallipolis location will be open an additional two days
per week and will be accessible on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday.
“We are pleased that the time has come to expand our operating
hours and physical space at the Gallipolis VA Clinic,” Edward Seiler,
director of the Huntington VA Medical Center said in a recent statement. “Beginning October 9, 2012, the clinic will be open four days
a week, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to ensure that we are able to meet
the increased demand for services in southern Ohio.”
Dick Moore, who serves on the Gallia County Veterans Service
Commission as the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) representative, not only spoke of his satisfaction with the recent announcement, but also the resolve of the service commission to continue to
push for more and better local services for veterans at the Gallipolis
clinic.
“We are very happy, but we are not stopping at four days a week,”
Moore said.
According to Moore, the initial understanding between officials
with the Huntington VA Medical Center and the local veterans service office was that the limited hours of operation would only be a
temporary arrangement.
“We opened the clinic and we had the understanding that when
we reached so many members or clients there, that they would
open it more than two days a week,” Moore explained. And, while
an exact number cannot be provided by the VA in Huntington, it is
estimated that approximately 1,000 veterans from not only Gallia,
but also Meigs, Mason and other surrounding counties have registered for services at the Gallipolis clinic location.
The influx of registered veterans can attributed, in part, to the
relocation of the Gallia County Veterans Service Office next to the
clinic last December.
The office had previously been located on Jackson Pike and the
veterans service officials decided to make the move to spur greater
use of the VA clinic.
“We feel that moving our veterans service office next to the VA
clinic has not only helped our work load, but we are able to serve
veterans better right beside the clinic,” Moore said.
The veterans service officers, in their new office space, were
quick to send veterans receiving services through their office who
were also seeking health care information, next door to the clinic —
an effort that payed off.
According to Moore, the need for additional hours at the twoday-a-week facility became very apparent over time as the accumulation of patients meant longer waiting times for the many veterans
utilizing the facility.
“This is a blessing because there have been times that’s there’s
been a back log. They won’t turn anybody away on the two days a
week, but if you are walk-in, you have to wait, and that discourages
veterans. They don’t want to go back because they don’t know if
they will get waited on,” Moore said.
“If you open it up four days a week, it’s much better on the walkins, it’s much quicker to get an appointment with the doctor and
there will be a doctor in the office, on-call, four days a week,” he
said. The clinic will continue to provide primary care outpatient
services. Any patients requiring specialty services are referred to
the Huntington VA facility.
The Gallia County Veterans Service Office currently provides
transportation to the Huntington facility each Monday for veterans
who have been referred to the VA hospital.
In a recent statement issued by Deborah Brammer, public affairs
offices at the VA Medical Center in Huntington, plans for expanding the facility have also been announced by VA officials.
The renovations will include the addition of new space for specialty care services that will be available through Telehealth conferencing with providers at the Huntington facility, according to
Brammer.
In addition, an enrollment fair will be held at the clinic on October 12, 2012, from 1 to 4 p.m. The fair will offer area veterans the
opportunity to determine their eligibility for VA health care. Veterans wishing to enroll should bring their military discharge papers
(DD214). Flu shots will also reportedly be available at this event.
For more information about eligibility and enrollment, veterans
may contact the enrollment office at the Huntington facility at (304)
429-6741, ext. 3459, 2490 or 2496 or toll free at (800) 824-8277.
To schedule an appointment at the Gallipolis VA Clinic, veterans
can contact the clinic directly at (740) 446-3934.
For more information about services provided locally through
the county’s veterans service office, call (740) 446-2005.

APPLE GROVE — An Apple
Grove man has been arrested
for allegedly having a meth lab
in a car which he drove to flee
from law enforcement.
Bradley S. Kelly, 37, Apple
Grove, was arrested by Deputy
J. Ferrell with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department and
charged with fleeing in a vehicle
and operating or attempting to
operate a clandestine lab. Kelly
appeared before Mason County
Magistrate Cheryl Miller-Ross
who set his bond at $100,000.
As of Friday afternoon he remained in the custody of the
Western Regional Jail.
According to the criminal
complaint filed in magistrate
court, Ferrell observed Kelly
driving a green Plymouth Neon
on Jerry’s Run Rd. Ferrell said
the car had no MVI sticker
and expired registration which
prompted him to attempt to
pull Kelly over. The complaint
says Kelly did not comply and
accelerated, turning on to Tabnor Moore Rd. at a high rate
of speed. Ferrell said Kelly lost
control of the vehicle at times
and finally sped off the roadway
to the right, striking a tree after
a sharp curve.
Kelly and a passenger were
instructed to raise their hands
and exit the vehicle but the
complaint says Kelly climbed
through the window of the
driver’s side and began running
down the hillside. Ferrell stayed
behind to verify the passenger
was unarmed and this passenger then identified Kelly as being the driver according to the
complaint.
Materials consistent with a
meth lab were then found inside the vehicle. Lt. S. Greene,
a meth tech, was also called to
the scene to inspect the car. The
complaint doesn’t say if Kelly
was found soon afterwards or
exactly where he was taken into
custody.
A preliminary hearing in Kelly’s case has been scheduled for
11 a.m., Sept. 19.

MASON COUNTY —
In a continuing quest
to improve test scores
among Mason County
students, teachers have
been hard at work focusing more on problem areas and four schools have
met the state of West Virginia’s “Adequate Yearly
Progress” (AYP) requirements for the 2011-12
school year.
The four schools that
met AYP standards for
the 2011-12 school year
were Leon and Roosevelt Elementary Schools
and Wahama and Hannan Junior/Senior High
Schools. While some
teaching strategies may
differ among the elementary and high school
levels, there are several
programs and activities
principals have attributed
to the students’ improved
success on the West Virginia Educational Standards Test (WESTEST).
Among the many factors that contribute to
the success of students,
one that is very simple,
yet very important, is
attendance. Leon Elementary Principal Don
Bower said perhaps one
reason why they met AYP
standards was their 98.2
percent attendance last
school year. Bower also
mentioned that several
teachers at Leon come to
work early and stay late.
Bower also said they focused a lot on writing last
school year, using a program call “Four Square
Writing, since a portion
of the language arts tests
is writing.
While some may see
Leon Elementary as a
small country school with
several things working
against them, Bower said
that’s not the case.
“We’re not in the city,”
Bower said. “There are a
lot of things people could
use as excuses and they
don’t.”
Bower also discussed
a few areas in math that
Leon students still needed to improve on, such
as measurements. In order to address this need,
Bower said that Leon will
have a measurement day
once a month where students will focus on measuring items around them
and developing a concept
of inches and feet. Bower
also mentioned they will
have a day of conversion, where they focus on
converting metric measurements. Bower also
mentioned a way Leon is
working to improve social studies and writing
scores, stating they are
using writing prompts
on social studies topics, such as figures like
George Washington or
geography.
For Roosevelt Elementary, Principal Robin
Carter stated meeting
AYP standards last school
year was a combination
of efforts, particularly
emphasizing reading and
writing across the curriculum. Carter added
their efforts to bring several arts programs to the
school, in conjunction
with the French Art Colony in Gallipolis, Ohio,
was also a contributing
factor. Carter also said
Roosevelt has some coteaching in place with
special education and inclusion students.
Roosevelt Elementary
is also one West Virginia
school piloting a new program called the West Virginia Teacher Evaluation
System, which helps the
teachers develop goals
for the students and focuses more on student
learning.
When it comes to meeting AYP standards at the
high school level, in addition to focusing on reading and writing across

the curriculum, both
Wahama Principal Kenny
Bond and Hannan Principal Karen Oldham stated
their schools focused on
something called Professional Learning Communities (PLC). Bond and
Oldham both explained
that
PLC
meetings,
which are held twice a
month, allow the teachers to come together
and discuss the curriculum and to help identify
problem areas and at-risk
students. It was also stated the PLC’s bring the
teachers together so they
can discuss what topics have been covered in
what grade levels so they
can use that as a foundation that can be built
upon. Bower and Carter
also mentioned Leon and
Roosevelt also focus on
PLC’s to help improve
the student’s test scores.
Bond also discussed
another program that
helps students in the test
scores that is not necessarily focused on academics. Wahama is also holding meetings of SADD,
or Students Against Destructive Decisions, formerly Students Against
Drunk Driving. Bond
said this group also helps
students make good decisions in other areas of
their lives, which in turn
will also affect their behavior and academics.
Oldham also said that
Hannan students have a
bellringer in every class,
which is a question or a
problem for that class
that also focuses on math
and language arts. Oldham added that Hannan
also has several incentives and awards for the
students, including a
monthly block party, and
an end of the year trip to
Washington D.C.
In addition to meeting
AYP standards, Oldham
said the graduation rate
at Hannan also increased
from the 60 percentile
to the 80 percentile, and
there are also programs
to help students who
have dropped out earn
their GED.
“I’m very proud of the
staff and the students,”
Oldham said. “We’ve
worked really hard here
to show improvement
and progress in our students.”
While several other
schools in Mason County
did not meet AYP requirements, it was reported that test scores
for students overall are
improving. As previously
reported, nearly 25 percent of students in Mason
County showed improvement in mathematics,
a four percent increase
from the 2010-11 scores.
In reading/language arts,
24 percent of Mason
County students showed
improvement.
Percentage wise, it was stated
that 44 percent of Mason
County Schools met AYP
standards for the 2011-12
school year, which was a
22 percent increase from
the 2010-11 school year.
Superintendent
Suzanne Dickens also stated that Mason County’s
rating among other West
Virginia counties was
also improving. Out of 55
counties, Dickens stated
for the 2011-12 school
year, Mason County was
ranked 27 in Reading and
Language Arts and 32 in
Math. Mason County’s
2012 rating is an improvement from previous
ratings, as Dickens said
Mason County was 33rd
in 2011, 44th in 2010,
and 48th in 2009.

POMEROY — The Meigs Local School District will be receiving three new 72-passenger school buses next week which
are expected to be ready to add to the fleet already in operation late next week.
That was the report of Dean Harris, the district’s transportation director, at the Board of Education meeting Tuesday

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Sept.
21, 2012:
This year you focus on your domestic and personal life, though all aspects
are important. Excitement comes in
from a close friend or loved one who
is a walking jack-in-the-box; you never
know what will happen next. Hopefully,
you can deal with a little stress. Others
would like you to be more active, and
they will not hesitate to let you know. If
you are single, you will gain a sidekick.
Whether you let more than that develop is your call. If you are attached, the
two of you need to loosen up more
and enjoy the moment. SAGITTARIUS
loves to romp with you.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHHH Let your imagination lead
the way. Be ready to take off at the
drop of a hat. Others tap into your
ideas and use you as a resource. You
might want to break free, and perhaps
you’ll do just that. Maintain a high
level of detachment, or you could feel
drained. Tonight: Go for something
unique.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH You deal with others directly,
particularly a key person in your life.
You could enhance a financial option
through a discussion. A family member
lets you know how much you mean to
him or her. If there has been a rocky
element in your domestic life, attempt
to fix it. Tonight: Make it cozy.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Realize where you are
heading and defer to someone else.
You understand that not everything is
one way or the other. This realization
helps you to loosen up your relationships with some potentially difficult
people. Tonight: Play away.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You are one of the few
people whose focus is less on getting
into the weekend and more on completing errands and/or a project. For
those of you who are working Moon
Children, you will want to clear out your
desk. Think about being totally free this
weekend. Tonight: Only what you want.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH Allow more creativity
to come forward. Through a meeting, you’ll see many possibilities.
Opportunities arise from this group of
peers, especially through one person
who is unusually upbeat. You emanate
compassion and concern. How can
anyone resist you? Tonight: Start the
weekend right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Center yourself, and you will
open the door to many more opportunities. Someone in your personal life
— or someone who wants to become
a part of it — shares some deeper feelings. A friend you look up to also gives
you positive feedback. Tonight: Head
home early.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH How you say what you
think has much to do with the manner in which the words are received.
You, more than most other signs,
understand the art of diplomacy and
the need to use it in a difficult situation.
Touch base with a dear friend or loved
one. Tonight: To your favorite haunt.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You might want to reconsider an option that could encourage
less stress. In order for that to happen,
you’ll need to trust a partner or close
friend. A boss likes what he or she
sees. You likely will see the benefits
soon enough. Tonight: Allow someone
to treat you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH You are nearly unstoppable. A few associates also could have
a similar amount of energy pushing
them forward. Others seem ready to
jump in and make what you need happen. You might be toying with the idea
of taking a mini-vacation soon. Tonight:
Whatever you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Something is going on behind
the scenes. Rather than snoop around,
as others might expect you to do, just
go about your business as usual. You
will reverse the trend and make others
wonder what is going on. A friend or
loved one gives you a gift. Tonight: Not
everyone needs to know what you’re
thinking.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Meetings charge you with
enough energy to complete a project,
but a call from a friend also encourages you to take a bold step. You are the
sign of friendship, and you’re only too
pleased to go along with this person’s
suggestion. Tonight: Where people can
be found.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You might want to take that
extra step toward helping a special
person in your life. This person will be
very grateful, even if he or she does
not express the gratitude you might
like. Remember, everyone has a different style. Tonight: You are the lead
actor.
