This opportunity has been the greatest professional experience of my life, and I am incredibly proud of the work my colleagues and I have been able to accomplish to improve the lives of those in need and to give a voice to those who oftentimes feel voiceless. I have often said education is the pathway out of poverty, and I believe that sentiment is just as true today as it was when I began my career in the legislature. For several years now, I have worked to reform state education policy as a means to address the hurdles that unduly burden students living in Ohio’s urban and rural communities. Now I believe it is time for me to take on the challenge of bringing about meaningful educational reform on a more local, community-based level.” “That is why I am honored to have been selected as the next president at the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College,” continued Smith. “Since 1876, these distinguished institutions have offered critical educational programs to the people of Southeast Ohio and continue to stand as beacons of strength and opportunity for our region. I look forward to joining them See RESIGNS | 3 Coalition creates suicide prevention committee By Kayla Hawthorne Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — The Meigs County Community Prevention Coalition created a suicide prevention subcommittee during its meeting on Wednesday afternoon. The subcommittee, which will be chaired by Meg Dunfee, comes after the concern of increases in suicide death in Meigs County in recent months. Dunfee is a concerned citizen of the county and comes from a family that has dealt with the loss of loved ones to suicide. The subcommittee wants to work with local agencies to create resources that can reduce the risk of suicide. The suicide prevention group will begin meeting soon and the date and time will be announced later. The coalition welcomed guest speaker Tracy Plouck from Ohio University. Plouck works for a health alliance to be a resource for communities in mental health and addition. The alliance builds relationships with local governments and agencies to provide trainings and resources. The resources available to local organizations include research and quality improvement; health education and workforce development; policy analysis and development; and coalition development training and maintenance. In the committee reports, the coalition agreed to dissolve the long-standing sub-committees— including the program committee and outreach committee. The coalition decided that in the coming months they will create new sub-committees that are focused on events and ideas—such as the Fair Prevention Day. In August, the coalition said they had a “Lunch and Learn” event on Sept. 26 for businesses to receive training on Narcan. The event is being rescheduled for November, according to Courtney Midkiff with the Meigs County Health Department. The health department will provide a 15 minute training for anyone who is interested. After completing the training, the health department will give the trainee a supply of Narcan to use in case of emergencies.

If you could trade places with anyone you want, who would you choose? Maybe a movie star or famous athlete? Maybe you’d choose someAnn one from your Moody favorite band or Contributing a homeless percolumnist son that begs by the side of the road? “Wait a minute,” you are probably thinking. “Who would dream of changing places with a homeless person who begs beside the road?” Well, it might not be what a person would wish for, but that is exactly what one person got in our Bible lesson today. It is the story of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16: 19-31. There once was a rich man, expensively dressed in clothes of the latest fashion. He lived in a beautiful house and ate the very best food. A poor man named Lazarus, all covered with sores, had been put outside the door of the rich man’s house. All he wanted was a meal from scraps off the rich man’s table. Dogs that passed by him stopped and licked his sores. Do you think the rich man ever offered to share the food from his table? Did he ever stop to offer Lazarus one of his nice suit of clothes that he didn’t wear anymore? No way! He passed by Lazarus as if he wasn’t even there. Finally, Lazarus died and was carried by angels up into Heaven to be with Abraham. There he enjoyed all of the comforts that he never knew when he was on earth. He was happier than you can imagine. The rich man also died and was buried. Well, the place where the rich man went was really hot. (I am sure you can guess where that was!) He was miserable. The rich man looked up into Heaven and saw Abraham with Lazarus standing by his side. He cried out, “Father Abraham, send Lazarus down and let him dip his ﬁnger in water to cool my tongue.” Abraham answered, “Don’t forget that when you were living, you had all your good things and Lazarus had nothing. You never tried to help him or acknowledge him. Now he is well cared for, and you are in great pain. And besides, there is a deep ditch between us, and no one from either side can cross over.” Even though he didn’t have very much when he was on earth, Lazarus trusted in God to take care of him. That is what God did. He sent his angels to take Lazarus to Heaven. The rich man, on the other hand, didn’t think he needed anyone. He sure didn’t need God. He had everything that he needed. At least, that is what he thought then. There is an important lesson to be learned from the story of the rich man and Lazarus. You and I choose where we will place our trust. We can trust in God, or we can trust in ourselves. If we put our trust in the wrong thing, we will ﬁnd ourselves wishing that we could trade places. Let’s say a prayer together. Father, we trust in Your unfailing love; our hearts rejoice in Your salvation. Please help us to always believe in You and help others who are less fortunate that we are. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

After an introduction of “And when they had sung praise, the author describes a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” (Mark 14:26 his distress (v. 5), acknowledges that God is on his side ESV). (v. 6-7), recognizes the LORD What were they singing on as his refuge (v. 8-9), and such an occasion? Well, that’s worships God for helping him where Psalm 118 comes into succeed despite the enemies play. that had surrounded him (v. My commentary explains, 10-13). “The following psalms, 113Then, he says, “The LORD 118, are identiﬁed by ancient Jewish tradition as a sequence is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. for us in religious festivals, Glad songs of salvation are in particularly at the Passover the tents of the righteous: ‘The meal.

And when And only those who are righI read Psalm 118, this makes teous may enter (v. 19-20). perfect sense. Now, pay attention to Psalm 118 is a congregawhat the psalmist says next: tional hymn. It’s liturgical in “I thank you that you have nature and made for more answered me and have become than one voice. It begins, my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! …” (v. 21- 26 ESV). These verses are full of depth, imagery, and power. And Jesus Christ is deﬁnitely present. So are we. Let me show you. Remember, Psalm 118 was sung during Passover. Scholars believe that Jesus and His disciples followed this tradition by singing it at the conclusion of their Passover meal in Mark 14. The Passover festival can be traced back to Exodus 12 when God had the Israelites mark their doorposts with lamb blood in order to escape the LORD’s wrath on Pharaoh. You see, Jesus has become our Passover lamb. By His shed blood on the cross, God “passes over” our sin and offers us mercy and grace. Psalm 118 is the story of God’s salvation through the perfect Passover lamb—Jesus Christ. Jesus sang about Himself and His people as He joined with His disciples in song after the Passover meal. You see, He experienced distress in Gethsemane shortly after singing (Mark 14:34). But He acknowledged the Father on His side and took refuge in Him (v. 36). And despite the enemies who surrounded Him and killed Him on a cross, Jesus claimed victory over death and made a way for God’s people to enter the “gates of righteousness”— Christ Himself. After all, Jesus claims, “‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No ones comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6 ESV). He is our Passover lamb. He is the rejected stone that is now our cornerstone (Psalm 118:22; Acts 4:11). And copying the words of the psalmist in Psalm 118, the Israelites sing, “‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Mark 11:9 ESV) as Jesus enters Jerusalem shortly before Passover. Who knew that a psalm written hundreds upon hundreds of years before the coming of Christ would include such detail and power? Who knew that Jesus would later sing that hymn about Himself and our redemption? The hymn Jesus sang with His disciples is the hymn we sing today. One of praise and redemption. It’s a song of life defeating death. All because of Jesus, the Lamb of God. “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!” (Psalm 118:29 ESV).

With their looking, they carefully contemplated the Lord, who He was, and what He was going to do. Furthermore, the writer of the Book of Hebrews wrote, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and ﬁnisher of our faith…” “Looking” means to “look away from one thing so as to see another; to concentrate the gaze upon.” To concentrate the gaze upon requires that we take the time to take a good look. Too many times, however, we are concentrating upon the materialistic matters of life. At other times we are concentrating upon the problematic matters of life. All the while, we miss out on the blessings of the spiritual depths of Jesus Christ when we do not take the time to take a good look at Him. The Lord is very special, and He presents Himself to us as such. We should be mindful not to overlook Him. In the mean time, I gave Terry a happy birthday card with a dollar bill in it.

JACKSON, Ohio — New course. Old hat. After three consecutive advancements out of the Chillicothe Jaycees meet, the Southern golf team notched its fourth straight district berth on Wednesday at the 2019 Division III sectional tournament held at Franklin Valley Golf Club in the Apple City. The Tornadoes placed third as a team for a second consecutive postseason, doing so with a ﬁnal tally of 381 in the 4-count, 18-hole format. Belpre won the D-3 sec- tional championship with a ﬁnal score of 373, ﬁnishing ﬁve shots ahead of runner-up South Webster and its 378. Besides SHS, BHS and SWHS, Waterford (388) and Federal Hocking (402) also qualiﬁed for districts with top ﬁve ﬁnishes as teams. Hunter Dutiel of Miller and Andrew Smith of South Webster shared medalist honors with identical rounds of 6-over par 77. Dutiel was also joined by teammate Trey Hettich (92), Andrew Cochenour (89) of Pike Eastern, Ryan Payne (91) of Ironton Saint Joseph, and Jake Sites (93) of Coal Grove as the individual qualiﬁers for the D-3 district tournament. Joey Weaver led the Purple and Gold with a 90, followed by Jacob Milliron and Landen Hill with respective efforts of 94 and 95. Tanner Lisle completed the Tornado tally with a 102, with David Shaver also carding a 109. Eastern had its season come to an end after placing seventh out of 11 scoring teams with a 416. Ethan Short led the Eagles with a 100, followed by Nicholas Durst with a 101 and Colton McDaniel with a 107.

With fans applauding his every mention, the Hall of Fame broadcaster called his ﬁnal Cincinnati Reds game Thursday, ending a 46-year career that’s featured so many big stars and historic moments — Hank Aaron, the Big Red Machine, Pete Rose — and more than a few verbal tiffs with fans and players who weren’t exactly endeared to his tell-it-like-it-is style. He went out in style. Brennaman popped into the press box to shake writers’ hands before a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, already showing emotion in quicklytearing eyes. He recounted a touching phone call from Joe Girardi as he drove to the ballpark. “A tough day,” Brennaman said. “I’ve cried three times already.” The Reds billed it as a “Marty Party” and borrowed a favorite phrase from former broadcast partner Joe Nuxhall, declaring that “this one belongs to Marty.” At the end of yet another tough season — the Reds’ sixth straight with a losing record — the voice that so many Cincinnati fans equate with baseball became the soundtrack to the ﬁnal home game of not only a season but a career. The Reds distributed commemorative transistor radios so fans in the stands could hear that voice call a Reds game one last time . Brennaman is more comfortable being heard rather than seen, as is a broadcaster’s role. Not today. Fans stood and cheered when the mayor declared it Marty Brennaman Day during pregame festivities on the ﬁeld. The 77-year-old Brennaman then headed for the broadcast booth and the microphone — his frequent companion for nearly a half-century — for the same play-by-play call that’s as familiar as a ﬁrst pitch. He and color commentator Jeff Brantley didn’t ignore the focus of the day, but neither did they dwell on it. When Brennaman noted that it felt hotter than the announced 74 degrees at the ﬁrst pitch, Brantley said: “Could be the stress.” See MARTY | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Sept. 27 Football Portsmouth at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Manchester at Hannan, 7 p.m. Eastern at South Gallia, 7:30 Meigs at River Valley, 7:30 Belpre at Southern, 7:30 Federal Hocking at Wahama, 7:30 Volleyball Ohio Valley Christian at Wood County, 6 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Volleyball at Carlow, 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 College Football Cincinnati at Marshall, 5 p.m. Volleyball Point Pleasant at Greenbrier East Invite, TBA Soccer Nicholas County at Point Pleasant girls, 11 a.m. Robert C.

Eastern took the lead with 1:12 left in last week’s contest, but fell to Waterford by a 24-19 count for a second straight setback. SGHS dropped a 45-0 decision at Trimble last week, with the Tomcats leading 35-0 a quarter into play. Trimble is the lone common opponent for these teams so far this season, with THS blanking EHS by a 48-0 count in Week 3. ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com Week 5 of the high school football season kicks off in both Ohio and West Virginia this weekend, and there are six contests going on from within the Ohio Valley Publishing area. All six local contests are at home venues, given that two matchups — Meigs at River Valley and Eastern at South Gallia — are head-to-head bouts. Gallia Academy welcomes Portsmouth in a battle of unbeatens, while Southern hosts Belpre. Wahama takes on Federal Hocking at Bachtel Stadium and Hannan hosts Manchester in a battle of winless teams. Point Pleasant is off this weekend after canceling its game against YouthBuild. Here’s a brief look at all of the Week 5 football games from the OVP area. All of the contests are slated for Friday night. Meigs Marauders (1-3, 0-1 TVC Ohio) at River Valley Raiders (0-4, 0-1) Meigs has won 15 straight head-to-head meetings with the Raiders, including a 45-28 the last time they met in Bidwell, on Sept. 22, 2017. The last time River Valley defeated Meigs was Sept. 5, 2003 in Cheshire. In the 15 meet- Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Southern sophomore Will Wickline (18) brings down Wahama senior Abram Pauley during the Tornadoes’ 58-22 victory on Sept. 13 in Racine, Ohio. ings since then, MHS has outscored the Raiders by a 598-to-236 margin. The Marauders are 22-3 alltime against the Raiders. The Maroon and Gold won last year’s meeting by a 42-21 tally in Rocksprings after leading 42-7 in the contest. With their Week 4 20-0 loss to Vinton County, the Marauders have been shut out twice this year for the ﬁrst time since 2010. With a 51-18 setback to Nelsonville-York last week, the Raiders have dropped four straight to start the season since 2013. The 18 points scored by the Silver and Black a week ago are their most since last season’s meeting with the Marauders. Both teams have already face Gallia Academy this fall, with Meigs falling 24-0 and the Raiders on the wrong end of a 38-0 tally. Eastern Eagles (2-2, 0-2 TVC Hocking) at South Gallia Rebels (1-3, 1-2) In all-time meetings between EHS and SGHS, the Eagles hold an 14-6 edge with a 596-to-315 scoring advantage. Eastern is 6-4 all-time at South Gallia, including a 40-20 the last time the teams clashed in Mercerville, on Sept. 22, 2017. With last year’s 14-13 win, the Eagles have won four straight against the Red and Gold. Last season’s bout Belpre Golden Eagles (2-2, 2-1 TVC Hocking) at Southern Tornadoes (4-0, 3-0) Southern holds a 5-4 edge over Belpre since the Golden Eagles joined the TVC Hocking prior to the 2010 season. The last time the Golden Eagles were in Racine, Southern won by a 41-14 count on Sept. 22, 2017. Belpre’s 55-41 win in last season’s meeting ended the Tornadoes two-game win streak in the series. To this point in the season, Belpre and Southern share two common opponents in Miller and Wahama. BHS defeated MHS 42-7 in Week 3 and then topped WHS 49-22 last Friday, while SHS claimed a 58-22 victory over the White Falcons in Week 3, and a 39-18 See PREVIEWS | 7 �SPORTS/TELEVISION Daily Sentinel Friday, September 27, 2019 7 ‘GameDay’ visit bolsters Nebraska project LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — With nary a conference championship since 1999, and now on its ﬁfth coach since Tom Osborne’s teams ruled the mid-1990s, Nebraska has been an afterthought in college football most of the last two decades. This week, the Cornhuskers (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) are front and center again. Their game against No. 5 Ohio State (4-0, 1-0) on Saturday night was always going to be a big one. Add a visit from ESPN’s “College GameDay” show in the morning, and it’s become huge. “This is a good opportunity to highlight our program, the direction the program is going, the improvement we have made, the path that we are on,” second-year coach Scott Frost said. “It’s going to be great to get national attention here in Lincoln.” Yes, if Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso show up on campus, chances are your team is playing in the top game of the week. The party starts early. Crowds congregate behind and around the set from 9 a.m. to noon EDT holding signs with messages supporting their team, taking a shot at the opponent or maybe asking people at home to send money for beer. The folks cheer or boo depending on what they hear — or which mascot head Corso puts on when he predicts the winner of the host school’s game. A favorite segment features a “guest picker,” typically a celebrity with ties to the school or area who joins the panel in predicting winners of the day’s key games. The atmosphere, to say the least, is raucous. And, for that week’s host, it’s akin to a threehour advertisement aimed at prospective recruits. Saturday marks the 317th time GameDay has originated from a campus. It’s the seventh visit to Nebraska, but the ﬁrst since 2007. “This is Nebraska. This is bigtime college football,” quarterback Marty From page 6 Brennaman then launched into describing each batter the same way he has for decades — name, stats, how they’re trending. When Aristides Aquino homered inside the left ﬁeld foul pole in the bottom of the ﬁrst, Brennaman described it this way: “If it’s fair, it’s good. And it is, and it is.” Fans were hoping the home team would win so Adrian Martinez said. “I’m excited that College GameDay’s back here this Saturday, and that’s the way it should be again.” Ohio State has hosted the show 18 times, most of any school. Alabama is next, at 13, followed by Michigan, Florida and LSU, at 12 each. Ohio State this week will tie Alabama with 45 appearances in the featured game. The GameDay crew, including people in front of and behind the cameras, decides mostly by committee where they will go each week, coordinating producer Drew Gallagher said. Lincoln was selected around midnight last Saturday, shortly after the Cornhuskers came from behind to win at Illinois. Had Nebraska lost, GameDay might have gone elsewhere, though the fact Ohio State is coming to town weighed in Lincoln’s favor. “With Ohio State right now, there’s a little bit of curiosity, especially with Justin Fields,” Gallagher said. “He hasn’t really been tested in a road environment like this. This has also been the kind of game over the several years that Ohio State has struggled in. Factor it all in — the scene, Lincoln on a Saturday night — and it was a pretty easy decision.” ESPN during the offseason maps out possible GameDay sites for the ﬁrst month of the season. Schools receive letters outlining how much space would be needed, along with other requirements. Gallagher said he’s never heard of a school not wanting GameDay to come. Fan bases often lobby for a visit through social media campaigns, and schools themselves sometimes ask. Nebraska was notiﬁed last week it was a candidate. GameDay’s visit comes the morning after new basketball coach Fred Hoiberg holds a public scrimmage followed by a performance by rapper Rick Ross. Some of the football and basketball programs’ top recruiting prospects they could hear Brennaman’s familiar line after a victory: “And this one belongs to the Reds.” The Brewers had won the ﬁrst two games of Brennaman’s ﬁnal series. The Reds’ voice since 1974, Brennaman intended to quietly retire after the season. He agreed to a farewell season that would allow fans and teams to show their appreciation and celebrate a career with so many calls: Aaron’s 714th homer that tied Babe Ruth, three World after carding a 124.

Listening to those games was the most important thing in my life. It was 3 hours of escape. He made it really matter.” FRIDAY EVENING 29 (FREE) The New137Wayne’s Place N 2 Ave will be visiting. ESPN no longer estimates onsite GameDay attendance. A number is hard to lock down because it’s not a ticketed event and people come and go. The highest reported attendance was 18,000 at Missouri in 2010, hours before the Tigers upset third-ranked Oklahoma. Average viewership across ESPN’s platforms is just under 2 million through four shows this year. According to Omaha-based Universal Information Services, which measures the impact of media mentions, the GameDay appearance at Georgia last week generated an estimated $1.3 million in publicity value through local and national broadcast mentions (the ﬁgure didn’t account for the threehour show itself). Publicity value is the estimated cost of promotion, based on advertising rates across TV and radio platforms, that would produce an equal amount of exposure. The buzz here has been high. Two days after the Lincoln visit was announced, the publicity value already had matched the $1.3 million produced in a full week for the Georgia stop. “A lot of this stuff is for the fans. People eat it up,” Frost said. That’s true, and something not to be minimized. The fan base that started selling out games in 1962, and continues to do so despite the program’s recent struggles, has become one of the Huskers’ biggest talking points in the absence of signiﬁcant wins or championships. A scene where thousands of people in red gather around the GameDay set sends a message to prospects. GameDay’s visit also shows Frost’s work has not gone unnoticed. “If we weren’t improving and getting better and going in a really good direction that was obvious to a lot of people,” he said, “we wouldn’t have those guys on ESPN coming to town.” Series titles and Rose’s record-setting hit No. 4,192 among the most memorable.

The Wildcats have their ﬁrst 3-0 start since 2015, and that season they lost their fourth game in a Big 12 opener at Stillwater to begin a six-game losing streak. But K-State takes the Big 12’s top defense (256 total yards and 12.7 points per game allowed) into its ﬁrst conference game under new coach Chris Klieman on Saturday. Oklahoma State will provide a big test. The Cowboys average 534 total yards and 44.5 points a game with Big 12 rushing leader Chuba Hubbard and top receiver Tylan Wallace. Texas was able to hold Hubbard (160.5 yards rushing per game) and Wallace (118.3 yards receiving per game) well below their season averages in a 36-30 win to open conference play last weekend. K-State, coming off an open date after winning at SEC team Mississippi State, has won the last two meetings against the Cowboys. By Eric Olson and an 84-yarder to Deshaunte Jones (6.7 catches per game). The Bears, who didn’t play a Power Five opponent in non-conference play, gave up only 146 yards passing per game. They are the only Big 12 team that hasn’t allowed a passing TD. Game of the week No. 5 Ohio State at Nebraska The Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0) look every bit a contender for the College Football Playoff. Their playoff bids the past two years ended because of losses to unranked Big Ten West opponents. Nebraska (3-1, 1-0) is still looking for its ﬁrst statement win under second-year coach Scott Frost, and this would be a doozy. Nebraska played the Buckeyes within ﬁve points in Columbus last year, so intimidation shouldn’t be an issue at home — even though the Buckeyes have outscored their ﬁrst four opponents by an average of 54-9. Inside the numbers Sixth-ranked Oklahoma (3-0) looks to become the sixth FBS program to reach 900 wins when it hosts Texas Tech (2-1) in the Big 12 opener for both teams. … The four-time defending Big 12 champion Sooners have won six consecutive conference openers, and 10 of 11. … TCU (2-1) is 40-15 in regular season games after a loss in coach Gary Patterson’s 19 seasons. The Horned Frogs are home against Kansas (2-2, 0-1). … Texas and West Virginia, the only teams with conference wins, both have open dates. Best matchup Indiana pass offense vs. Michigan State pass defense The decision on which player Indiana starts at quarterback, Peyton Ramsey or Michael Penix Jr., might not come until game time. Ramsey, the most accurate passer in program history, began the season as the backup but has started the last two games in place of the injured Penix. The Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1) have completed 68 percent of their attempts for an average of 308 yards per game. The No. 25 Spartans (3-1, 1-0) are allowing just 5.4 yards per pass attempt and picked off three passes against Long shot Texas Tech, without injured Big 12 passing leader Alan Bowman, goes to sixth-ranked Oklahoma as a nearly fourtouchdown underdog.

Loveday, a two-time all-district and All-OVC performer during his freshman and sophomore seasons with the Blue Devils, transferred to Huntington Prep midway through his junior campaign after helping GAHS accumulate a 39-16 record during his time in the Blue and White. The 7-foot center averaged 13.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.3 blocks over his 2-plus seasons with the Blue Devils. Zach is the son of Billy and Sam Loveday of Bidwell, Ohio. Daily Sentinel CINCINNATI — The carpeting in the Brewers’ clubhouse was still damp from all the bubbly and beer sprayed around the place only a dozen hours earlier. No matter. With a chance for an even bigger celebration ahead, Milwaukee locked in and kept on winning. It’s going to be an interesting weekend in the NL Central. Orlando Arcia doubled with the bases loaded, and the Brewers shook off the ﬁzz from their playoffs-clinching celebration to close on the division lead Thursday, beating the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 for their seventh straight victory . The Brewers earned at least a wild card with a 9-2 win on Wednesday night, dousing each other in the clubhouse afterward. Little more than 12 hours after the empty bottles and cans were cleared away, Milwaukee focused on an even bigger prize. “We made it so it’s a big weekend in Denver,” manager Craig Counsell said. Milwaukee moved within one game of the idle Cardinals for ﬁrst place heading into the ﬁnal weekend, the same status as a year ago when the Brewers also were a game out with three to play. They caught the Cubs and then beat them at Wrigley Field in a onegame tiebreaker for the division title. Milwaukee concludes with three games at Coors Field against the team it swept in the playoffs last year before losing to the Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. The Cardinals host the Cubs. “We’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing,” Counsell said “We need some help. It’s an uphill climb with three games to go, but we’ve given ourselves a chance. To get it to one game with three to play, you feel like you deﬁnitely put some heat on the Cardinals.” Just like last year, the Brewers have used a sizzling September in their race toward the top. Despite losing 2018 NL MVP Christian Yelich to a broken kneecap, the Brewers have won 18 of 20 and have the best September record in the majors at 20-4. Their seven-game winning streak matches their longest this season. West Virginia staring at tough October after 3-1 start By John Raby The Associated Press OH-70146972 West Virginia coach Neal Brown has little time to gloat about a winning record and what went right in the initial third of the season with the toughest part of the schedule just ahead. How well the young Mountaineers play in October will help determine whether they’ll become bowl eligible under their ﬁrst-year coach. It’s time to buckle in for what could be a rough ride. “We’ve got to play considerably better to win as we continue through our league,” Brown said. West Virginia (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) has this weekend off before hosting No. 11 Texas (3-1, 1-0) on Oct. 5. After facing Iowa State at home the following week, the Mountaineers travel to No. 6 Oklahoma on Oct. 19. Brown is giving his players four days off this week. With the little time he does have with them, he wants to teach them a lesson on staying focused. He said his players had too much swagger after a Sept. 14 win over North Carolina State and it showed with less than crisp practices before a close win Saturday at Kansas. “I’m going to say hey, listen. Here’s the deal,” Brown said. “We won the game. We were fortunate. I’m proud of you for winning the game and this is why we won the game. But this is also why we didn’t play our best. If we continue at this rate, we’re not going to be successful with the rest of our season. We got away with these mistakes in this game but we’re not going to continue to do that. And here’s where we’ve got to get better. “It starts with our preparation. It starts with our practice habits.” The stats sheet shows plenty of room for improvement. The Mountaineers are last in the Big 12 in scoring, total yards and Brown seems to have sorted out some of the offense’s underlying problems — ones that could crop back up at any time.

In 2012, the Merry’s added the Old Mill Craft Brewery and Hop yard specializing in small batch craft beers. “We grow our own hops.

We also make homemade root beer soda based on Tim’s great grandmother’s recipe, the ﬂavor is very much reminiscent of root beer from an old fashioned soda shop,” Lisa continued. “During the summer months many customers enjoy our homemade root beer ﬂoats. Our homemade root beer is also available for sale at the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.” It was that family connection that ﬁrst gave the Merrys the inspiration to open a winery.

This year marks Meigs County’s 200th birthday and the celebrations and events began in January and continue throughout the calendar year. Formed in 1819 from portions of Gallia and Athens counties, Meigs County was named in honor of former governor Return Jonathan Meigs Jr. On Jan. 21, 1819, the Ohio government authorized the creation of Meigs County. It was a few months later in April 1819, that the ﬁrst county government meeting was held, according to journal entries kept at the commissioner ofﬁce. In the Meigs County Historical Society newsletter, MCHS President James K. Stanley states, “According to Hardesty’s Historical & Geographical Encyclopedia Illustrated, on January 21, 1819, the Ohio ‘General Assembly passed an act to erect the county of Meigs’ — which was created from part of Athens and Gallia Counties — and The Pioneer History of Meigs County Ohio states that Meigs County was formed on April 1, 1819, the ﬁrst county ofﬁ- cials were elected on April 5, 1819, and newly-elected county commissioners conducted the county’s ﬁrst ofﬁcial meeting on April 30, 1819.” The County’s ﬁrst Courthouse, which still stands today, was constructed in 1823 in Chester. The courthouse served as the seat of county government until 1840. By June 1841, the county seat had been moved to Pomeroy, in a building where Trinity Church is now located on Lynn Street. The current courthouse opened in 1850, and is unique in that it has ground ﬂoor entrance on all three levels. Several events and celebra- Front Paige Outﬁtters 112 West Main Street Pomeroy, OH 740-992-0777 16 | Along the River | Fall 2019 tions are being planned for 2019 to commemorate the anniversary.

One maker will be placed in each of the county’s 12 townships, the ﬁrst being in Salisbury Township. For more on upcoming unveilings, see the calendar of events for Meigs County in this magazine.

River front fun One of the most notable attractions in Scioto County are the Floodwall Murals. Spanning over 2,000 feet, the murals in Portsmouth have become a popular attraction for visitors and tourists. Progress on the murals continues to be made, with new additions and touch-ups being added frequently.

The project runs the length of the historic district and includes over 55 different scenes. In 1992, the planning stages of the Flood wall Mural Project began with the formation of an ad hoc committee, which later registered as a nonprofit organization – Portsmouth Murals, Inc. (PMI). Robert Dafford, an internationally known muralist from Lafayette, Louisiana, was contracted for the project. The ﬁrst mural was completed in 1993. The murals are arranged chronologically 26 | Along the River | Fall 2019 from east to west, starting with the depiction of the Mound Builders. If you’d like to see the murals for yourself, follow the green mural signs posted in the city on Washington Street (Rt. 23 South) leading to the murals on Front Street.

OVP File Photo Battle Days held each October in Point Pleasant, West Virgina. The art of tourism Though not everyone may have known the late Bob Roach of Letart, West Virginia, they most certainly knew his work. Roach, who died in 2015, was an artisan when it came to stainless steel with his unique pieces known around the world, particularly the famed Mothman statue that sits in Gunn Park in downtown Point Pleasant. Roach’s steel statues also appear in an impressive family of historical ﬁgures in Point Pleasant’s Riverfront Park. His sculpture of Jesus Christ also ended up at Heights United Methodist Church on North Main Street in Point Pleasant. Even more of his work appears in his native Bend Area at the New Haven Fire Department and Wahama Junior/Senior High School in Mason, West Virginia. Back in the early 2000’s, Charles 28 | Along the River | Fall 2019 Humphreys of Main Street Point Pleasant had the idea for the Mothman statue. “I went to see Bob Roach because I knew he could make it and he’d been a buddy of mine for years,” Humphreys said. “At ﬁrst he wasn’t too interested in a creature, but after I talked to him a little, he agreed to make it. The ﬁrst two pieces he brought to me to show me were the (statue’s) feet, from there on out I went to see him (as the statue progressed).” Humphreys said a lot of research went into ﬁguring out just what Mothman might look like, with Roach very much a part of that process and then it became about his talent taking over. “He could do about anything, especially with metal and built that with stainless steel … it’ll be here a thousand years unless someone throws it in the river and even then it’ll still be here another thousand years down there,” Humphreys said about the statue and how it was meant to last. This partnership with Humphreys led to Roach sculpting the historical ﬁgures at Riverfront Park, including Chief Cornstalk, Col. Lewis, Daniel Boone, Mad Anne Bailey and Lord Dunmore, all of which are connected to the history of not only Point Pleasant, but Mason County and the Ohio Valley. “All of those statues economically add to Point Pleasant,” Humphreys said. “Every day there are people out there taking pictures with them and you’ve got to give Bob a lot of credit. He was good at what he did and it was so unique.” Humphreys pointed out the sculptures were not prefabricated or molded, they �were all made by hand and as Humphreys pointed out, “that makes a difference.” Humphreys said when Roach was alive, he seemed “deﬁnitely surprised” by the reception his Mothman statue received around the globe. “Neither of us thought it would grow into what it is, but I knew it would make a difference in Point Pleasant. I knew people would come to see it,” Humphreys said. And come to see it, they have. On any given day, no matter the temperature or weather conditions, someone is taking a photo with Point Pleasant’s most infamous resident. Story by Beth Sergent.

The murals portray the lives of the area’s earliest residents, the Shawnee, as well as lives of those Europeans who settled in what was then Western Virginia. The murals, a project which began in 2005, was completed over ﬁve subsequent summers, costing around $800,000. The paint, which at the time cost $200 a gallon, came from Germany and had a 50-year guarantee though it was proven to last 150 years. �Good health begins with great primary care Primary care physicians and nurse practitioners at Pleasant Valley Hospital are here to help people of all ages manage acute and chronic illnesses.
