Children's Services Board Vice President Kent Shawver was the first to address the commission about the current fiscal status of the agency. Although Shawver said that they are not "out of the woods'' yet, he is pleased with the fiscal progress they have made. "As far as having money, things are looking better, obviously," Shawver said. "We are very pleased with the way things have been coming." According to Shawver, ·the agency currently has approximately $75,000 . In September. other bills will draw down the funding to $61 .000 until the month of November.

The Pomeroy Fire Department is proposing the second fire station on Nye Avenue which will cost around $400-$450,000 to build - this price includes the land (though nothing has been purchased at this point) with the bulk of the interior work done by firefighters. In addition, the Pomeroy Fire Department is proposing financing needed upgrades at Station One on Butternut Avenue which is nearly 40 years old. The department is also hoping to refinance the debt on Pumper One. All three projects are estimated to cost a total of around $700,000 and Musser said the fire department wants to consolidate the debt to ultimately save money. Payments (likely made in one annual payment) would be made on this debt with existing fire protection levies that total four mills, all of which come up for renewal at different times. Musser estimated the three projects, if financed, could be paid off in 20 years. "We can make this work," Musser said. Both Musser and Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar stressed it would only work out if they are satisfied with the site. There have been questions raised about possible contamination on the site due to manufacturing done there years ago. Musser said he has spoken with the Ohio Department of Transportation which had done core sampling at the site when installing a culvert a few years ago. Musser said. he. was tol~ there was some conta~matton but 1t was remo-:ed an~ fill ~1rt was. place~. Mu~ser satd d~sptt~ thts, the vtllage IS havmg an engmeenng firm look at the site to confirm there is no contamination. "We want to make certain this is a good site,'' Musser stressed. As to the question why Pomeroy doesn't build on to the existing station, Blaettnar said he did look into that but was told it would be more expensive to attach a new addition on to Station One than to ~uy the property on. Nye Avenue and bmld the ~ew, baste stru~ture. Blaettnar al~o pomted out, by havmg_a second stat10n at Nye Avenue, this expands Pomeroy's coverage area. Other advantages to a second station, according to Blaettnar, are: the possible achievement of a Class. Three ratino-b which is a "rarity for this part of Ohio;" lowering of insurance rates for busi- . nesses, though he said homeowners could al$o see a slight drop as well; the second station could house equipment . from Station One should Station One be flooded. , . . At l~st week s pubhc meetmg, several restdents expressed concerns over fire hydrants in the village which aren't working and wanted to know why money wasn't being spent to replace or repair them. Musser said the fire hydrants do not fall under the fire department's jurisdiction when it comes to replacement and repair - that falls to the water department and cannot be paid for with frre department funds. The village is currently seeki g a . n grant to replace an~ repatr ~he hyd:ants.

This will be the 34th year of operation for OVCS. The school serves students from the MasonGallia-Meigs area, providing an academically excellent, distinctively Christian education for Pre-K4 through 12th grade. O'Donnell said OVCS will begin the year with a new band instructor, Dave Phillips. Phillips served as the instrumental music teacher and band director for the Gallipolis City School District for several years. He has also served as the director of bands at the University of Rio Grande. In addition to a wealth of experience, Phillips brings great energy and enthusiasm to his classes, O'Donnell said. O'Donnell said OVCS will also launch its new Pre-K4 program this fall. The program will place emphasis on academic learning, group learning skills, early spiritual development, and the growth of interpersonal relationships within Christian community. The OVCS Pre-K4 program will focus on concepts and processes, using small group instruction, interactive learning, and active manipulation of relevant, concrete materials to build a solid foundation for academics within a context of meaningful activity, according to O'Donnell. Children will be encouraged to ask questions, experiment, make choices, and pro- pose solutions. In so doing, they will learn to assume responsibility for their own actions and feelings, and they will gain confidence in acting on their knowledge of the Bible and of their physical and social worlds. OVCS was started in 1977 as a nondenominational Christian educational ministry of First Baptist Church in Gallipolis. Over the years, the school has earned a reputation for its academically excellent, distinctively Christian education, O'Donnell said. The school is comprised of parents, students and teachers who are all committed to a Christ-centered education that will prepare young people not merely to be successful, but to be used by God for eternal significance in whatever vocation they select, he added. OVCS currently serves students from more than 30 area churches. Ohio Valley Christian School maintains a firm policy prohibiting discrimination against any race, color, or national and ethnic origin, admitting all students to the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally available to students at the schools. In addition, the school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions policies, financial aid programs, and athletic and other school programs. Nor does the school discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in hiring of either certified or noncertified personnel. Walters said Gallia County residents have been extremely generous in their support of United Way over the years, donating more than $1.5 million to assist UWGCsupported agencies. Walters said all funds raised locally benefit the Gallia County agencies UWGC serves. . Additionally, Walters said, an untold number of man hours has been donated for the benefit of those agencies. In fact, she said United Way has changed its focus from fundraising to seeking out volunteers to assist the agencies it supports. "We're hoping to get more people involved in hands-on work with our agencies," she said. "As you know, the economy · is not the greatest right now and our donations are down about half of what they used to be and many just can't afford to give their money, but if they have time available, we like to say that their time is worth about $20$30 an hour that those agencies don't have to pay for. So if they can volunteer time, that's as valuable as donating their money." Walters said the group has worked to keep operating expenses at a minimum over the years. U.S. Bank in Gallipolis has assisted by donating office space. Walters said anyone interested in becoming a United Way volunteer can contact her at 4469303 or e-mail uwgc_online@yahoo.co m.

Moore stated that 75 percent of the children currently in their care are in pennanent placement. In other words, the--a-gency has permanent custody or pending permanent custody of those children and is working to find adoptive care for those · children. According to Moore, the permanent placement of these chi!dren is beneficial for all parties involved. "That really is a posi tive thing as far as it demonstrates that when take kids in custody work really hard on to reunify them 'ly by directing the issues of concern and getting those kids back home where they belong. if at all possible," Moore said. "These kids that are in permanent custody were j\.l..'it in situations that were so significant that we had no choice but to seek a permanent ~olution so they did not have . to return to that home." Moore also reported that Children's Services is keeping placement costs low and is working with families and relatives to correct the issue of concern and get the children back home. Moore enthusiastically commended the foster parents in the community who graciously open their homes to foster children. Moore believes that almost every child currently in permanent placement will be adopted. "We have great foster parents in this community who are there for our kids and who are willing. not just to provide shortterm care. but some of them are going to say, 'until they are 18, we will keep them as one of our own,"' Moore said. Moore also told the comnusswn that his agency is working on finding Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding that will cover the cost of school clothes and supplies for the children in their care. That funding would take another fiscal burden off of the agency. Children's Services Fiscal Officer Summer Martyn spoke about the outstanding way in which the Gallia Co. Children Services Board has recently worked to allocate funding and keep their agency in a fiscally advantageous situation. "Statewide, as a general rule. children's services boards go over their SCPA (State Child Protective) allocation, which is their most important fund source," Martyn said. "Our children service's board has only went over by $4,000, which is one of the lowest numbers in the state." Martyn also reported that, in order to cover this overage, the board found another source of fund• ing through a contract with Woodland Centers that had not been considered previously. This source of funding more than covered the overage and actually provided extra funding. Martyn commended the board for their diligence and hard work. ''I really think they have done great things,.. Martyn said. "There were. counties that were hundreds of thousands of dollars q.ver this allocation and our county almost broke even and had a fund source to cover that.''

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Consumer prices rise after 3 straight declines BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER ASSOCIATED PRESS A rise in the cost of gas drove consumer prices up last month by the most in nearly a· year, but overall inflation remained tame. The Consumer Price Index. the ·government's most closely watched infla~ion measure. increased 0.3 percent in July. the Labor Department said. That followed three months of declines. Pushing the index up was a 4.6 percent increase in the price of gas. Excluding volatile food and energy prices. the so-called "core" price index increased 0.1 percent in July. Over the past year, core consumer prices rose 0.9 percent - the slowest pace in 44 years. One small benefit of the weak economy is !hat it is keeping prices in check. Consumers are spending cautiously and sav.ing more, which makes it harder for companies to raise prices. But low prices have not been enougp to boost the recovery. A separate report Friday showed that retail sales rose modestly in July. but that was mostly due to higher auto and gasoline purchases. Outside those categories, most other retailers saw their sales fall. Tame inflation allows the Federal Reserve to keep the key interest rate it controls at a record low of nearly zero percent in an effort to bolster economic growth. The Fed usually fights rising inflation by raising rates. And the first increase in overall prices in four months is likely to ease concerns about deflation. which some Fed officials had raised in recent weeks. Deflation is a widespread and prolonged drop in the price of goods, real estate and stocks. It also reduces wages and makes it harder to pay off debts. • The U.S.'s last serious case of def1ation was during the Great Depression. Most economists don't believe deflation will happen. But they are watching consumer prices closely for any signs of it. The July rise in core prices was driven partly by a 0.1 percent increase in the cost of housing, which accounts for about 40 percent of the core index. The Labor Department relies heavily on rents to calculate that cost. As the weak hohsing market causes more people to rent rather than buy homes. economists say rents could rise in coming months.' That would push up the core consumer price index and reduce the risk of det1ation. If rents rise sharply, that could distort the core price index by raising it even as the prices of other goods fall. So far there's little sign of that taking place. Last month the prices of other goods also rose slightly. such as clothing and automobiles. Higher energy costs accounted for about twothirds of the increase in consumer prices. Energy prices rose 2.6 percent in July, the first increase since January. Gas price~ jumped 4.6 percent and household gas and electricity prices also rose. Food prices dipped in July as the cost of fruits and vegetables fell by the most in five years. Cereal and baked goods prices also declined. Food costs will likely move higher in coming months as recent increases in the price of wheat and other grains impact the index. ~unbap \!Ctmes -~·enttnel ReaOOr Servioes Correction Polley Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

'227 21 Bv JASON DITZ ANTIWAR.COM On Saturday a number of American and European humanitarian volunteers were killed in a senseless attack by apparently Taliban-linked forces. As people the world over struggle to make sense of this. the Obama Administration was quick to capitalize on the killings as vindication for their general narrative of the Afghan War. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. for instance. declared that the killings "show exactly what the Taliban stands against: a future of peace. freedom, opportunity. and openness.'' A number of other officials express similar sentiments. while taking it upon themselves to laud the aid group. But while there is surely no harm in cheering the International Assistance Mission (lAM). and the attack against their volunteers should absolutely be condemned, the administration's shameless attempt to tap into sympathy for the victims to build support for their war is no small part of why aid workers in Afghanistan are finding themselves in the line of fire. The lAM did not, after all, invade Afghanistan in .200 I with the US-led occupation force: they were already there. Indeed, the organization says they have been operating in the nation since 1966. meaning they were there during the monarchy. duri"ng the failed Soviet occupation, during the Taliban's clommance of the nation and now. for the past nine years. under the US-domin<Jted regime. 'I hat is 44 years of admirable service in Afghanistan, but the group is only recently finding itself a target. This is because. as the Obama Administration· couched the war in in~reasingly humanitarian tenns, \Vestern organizations like lAM are' increasingly seen <ts auxiliaries of the occupation forces. Such a policy isn't necessarily new. and we saw the Bush Administration go even farther in the wake of the brief Russo Georgian War in August 2008, in which the Pentagon fonnally milItarized all humanitarian aid operations in Georgia, to the outraE.e of the chilian aid groups on the ground. But the risk in that short term case was fairly limited compared to the nine year long occupation of Af~hanistan; where the administrati(m and its partners endlessly try to combat rising public opposition to the war with claim::. that the war is about exactly the so11 of humanitarian services groups like lAM arc providing. Is it any wonder lAM ends up painted unfairly as pm1 of the war, or that aflcgations •>f proselytizing. :t common Taliban <Jllegation levied toward • the foreign troops, is cropping up now. 44 years later? fhe Afghan War is not, and never has been, <1 humanitarian endeavor. And while it may -perhaps b~ understandable that the admini..;tration is desperately trying to paint it as such in a vain attempt to justify an inereasmgly unjustifiabk war, it is unfair fo1 the president to try to rescue lm. failed foreign policy at the cost of putting private mel org~nization.;; and their volunteers in harms way.

With nine starters back on defense and running back Noel Devine returning behind a veteran off€nsive line, the Mountaineers are looking to regain Big East bragging rights after a two-year hiatus. First, West Virginia must endure the bumps that come with breaking in yet another new starting quarterback. the third in Stewart's three seasons as coach. "We have a lot of potential. but we sure have a long way to go:' Stewart said. Bumps are becoming a common theme in the Mountaineer camp with the regular season still a few weeks away. This month, the NCAA cited West Virginia for five major and one secondary rules violations from 2005 to 2009 involving noncoaching staff working in coaching roles with players. The latter two years came under Stewart's watch. "That is not on our mind," Stewart said. "This football team, Jed by Bill Stewart, our staff and seniors. is going to concentrate on the 2010 season with full effort. We will not talk about it anymore." If that wasn't enougl). some players wore lightweight shoulder pads during the first two days of practice, even though NCAA rules stipulate shoulder pads couldn't be worn until the third day. WVU plans to selfreport the violation. It's not the way anyone in Morgantown, W.Va., hoped the season would start, especially if Stewart wants to impress new athletic director Oliver Luck, who took over in July. Luck pledged his full support for Stewart in the earlier NCAA probe but also indicates he wants to take time to review the entire footbal1 program. Despite going 18-8 in two seasons, Stewart is the lowest-paid coach in the Big East. He's entering the third year of a six-year contract signed in September 2008 that pays him $900,000 this season. Stewart' has yet to receive a contract extension. Winning would help. West Virginia fans became spoiled with five shared or outright Big East titles under Rodriguez - and none since he left in December 2007. Stewart's detractors became more numerous· last year · when the offense struggled behind Jarrett Brown. Now, it turns to the unknown quarterback Geno Smith played in five games as a freshman. completing 65 percent of his passes for 309 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He missed spring practice while recovering from a broken foot that required surgery. ·'Geno is out there to prove himself,'' Stewart said. "Geno Smith is every bit of a competitor that we have ever had. I believe that all quarterbacks are that type of men. but I would put him at the top of the list." Smith needs to ~tay healthy for no reason other than two freshmen are competing for the backup job. At least he has Devine to take away some of the pressure. Devine rushed for 1,465 yards as a junior. He's fifth on the school's career rushing list and needs 1.784 yard<; to overtake Avon Cobourne. who set the school record of 5.164 yards from 1999-2002. Despite four of five starters back on the line, Stewart doesn't want to overwork the 180-pound Devine and will try to get the ball to Jock Sanders, who led the team a year ago with 72 catches for 688 yards and three TDs. Both Devine and Sanders - who needs 55 catches to become the school's all-time leading receiver decided against entering the NFL draft in April and return·ed for their senior seasons. Beyond the pair, there aren't many big-time ball handlers. Fullback Ryan Clarke ran for 250 yards last year. while Brad Starks is the only other returning wide receiver with more than 20 catches. Others who could become targets . for Smith include sopho- · more Tavon Austin and two of Smith's high school teammates. redshirt freshman Stedman Bailey and freshman Ivan McCartney. The Mountaineers, who averaged just 12 points per game after halftime a year ago. may have to rely on a veter~:tn defense until Smith becomes established. The 3-3-5 defense that had a Big East-best 17 interceptions returns nine starters. The lone departures were filled by senior Anthony Leonard (23 tackles) at linebacker and freshman Terence Garvin at safety. The 6-3 Garvin adds wingspan in a sec. ondary that al_rea_dy includes 6-5 JUnlor Robert Sands. who had five interceptions to lead the conference despite being stripped of his starting safety spot for the first four games. Scooter Berry, Chris Neild and Julian Miller anchor the I i ne and junior college transfer Bruce Irvin should help out with the pass rush. Going unbeaten at home f<.>r the second straight year may be asking a bit much from the Mountaineers. who previously ,did it in 1993. But they do play five of their first seven games at home and the toughest early lest w1ll come Sept. 25 at LS U. This year's Backyard Brawl at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field could determine the league ·s BCS representative if the Mountaineers can get past Cinciilnati for the first time since 2007. "This is my senior year,'' Devine said. "af1d I'm just try'ing to enjoy everything anu embrace it all."

(AP} Alicia Sacramone got the high five from Bela. Rebecca Bross got the love from everyone else. One of America's best veterans kept her comeback on track and one of the country's top up-andcomers started on what looks like an inevitable road to a national title rsday night. ross, the 17-year-old king for her first U.S. gymnastics championship. scored 60.4 points in qualifying to open a big, 2.2-point lead over Mattie Larson. Sacramonc. the 22year-old hoping for a return trip to the Olympics, did nice work on her beam routine and both her vaults and had none other than Bela Karolyi leaning down from press row to let her know about it. ''I'm not sure what he said. but I saw the hand and I said, 'Yeah, I've got to give him the high five.'" said Sacramone, who scored 14.85 on beam and led the field with marks of 15.35 and 15.65 on her vaults. These days, it's Karolyi's wife, Martha. o makes all the big isions, though both oss and Sacramone certainly have to be considered contenders to ' represent the United States at the London i Games. which are less than two years away. Also in that mix is Bridget Sloan, the defending world and national champiOi· But she's limited to one event. the balance beam. while she nurses an old ankle injury and a newer one to her shoulder. After pacing around for more than 90 minutes. she took to the beam. but promptly fell off. She scored a 13.15 and will get another chance in finals Saturday night. ··A lot of people were. saying. 'That was hard that you had a long waii. · but that's no excuse," Sloan said. "You've gotta do what you've gotta do. Those things happen. I was kind of happy 1 got it out of the way:· Had Sloan been healthy. she would've been the only realistic challenger for Bross, and even that might have been a push. If there was any fiaw in her evening it was some less-than-perfect landings on her floor exercise. where she scored a 14.75. But even that was forgivable considering the way she slammed her feet solidly into the beam after her tricks. making that piece of equipment look as spacious as the noor. She scored a 15.5 there to set the tone for the evening. "I'm pretty happy with how I did today," Bross said. "I just want to be able to go out there and do the exact same thing I did today. Clean thin~s up on the floor a little btt. Other than that. I just want to do the same and show my best.'' Bross is trying to continue a mini-dynasty for her coa(h, Valeri Liukin, whose daughter, Nastia, is the defending Olympic champion and was on hand Thursday night doing TV commentary. Where Nastia was all grace and • fluid lines, sometimes looking effortless. Bross makes you know she's working for it. But that determination seems to prevent mistakes before they happen. On her bars dismount, she was wobbling. but somehow had the grit to keep her feet in place and avoid a big deduction. Same thing when she was offline on one of her tumbling passes on the floor, but cemented her feet just inside the boundary to avoid another mistake. "She's very tough," Valeri Liukin said. "She's been injured many times, she's pulled it through many times. She's my 'Dude.' She's something. Tough. What can I say'? Very tough. Maybe she got it from Nastia.'' She's got a ways to go before thai comparison can be made, but all the pieces are there. A big step. for Bross would be closing out a major meet. She had leads at last year's biggest meets, but let them slip away, en route to third at nationals and second at worlds. "I don't think about it,'' Bross said. "I just try my best. As long as I do my best and try my hardest, I can't control what the judges give me or where I finish.'' If she repeats her opening-night performance. she' Jl finish in first. If she slips, the secondplace gymnast, Larson, showed some championship-worthy stuff. She put on a fluid, musical show on floor for a score of 15 - the highest of the night there - and whipped through her bars routine for a 14.65. In third place is Alexandra Raisman. who trains with Sacramone, followed by Chelsea Davis. ' Vanessa Zamarripa. who is shooting for the 2012 Olympics while also competing for UCLA. put some nice dance in her floor routine and was in seventh place. Nobody, though. was better than Bross.

Cueto accepts suspension CINCIKNATJ (AP) Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto will not appeal the sevengame suspension he was handed by Major League Baseball for hts role in a brawl with the St. Louis Cardinals, though second baseman Brandon Phillips wasn't quite as agreeable. Phillips. whose description of the Cardinals as "whiners" helped touch off the melee, said he pluns to appeal the fine handed to htm. "I think Johnny Cueto should appeal. too,'' Phillips said. ''Why not'? There's nothing wrong with that. It could go down." Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker, who also received a two-game suspension that he started serving Friday, said he discussed Cueto's options with the pitcher, his agent and general manager Walt Jocketty·.

Wis. (AP) - Tiger lJoods ate breakfast three times before he teed <lff in the first round of the PGA Championship. It was time for dinner when his · second round began Friday. Bubba Watson walked off Whistling Straits atop the leaderboard after opening with a 6R. lie \vaited 30 hours for his next shot. And then there's Nick Watney. ''1 was talking with my caddie this afternoon. and we were talking about something that happened this morning,'' he said. "But we both thought it was yesterday. So it's been a long da);· I'll have no trouble sleeping tonight and wake up tomorrow and see where we're at." Not much is clear in the final major of the year. At least not yet. 'After two days - but not two full rounds Matt Kuchar was atop the leaderboard after another rock-solid round on a soft course. He nt'arly holed out from the 13th fairway again during a ~tretch of three straight birdies that led to a 3-under 69. Kuchar was at 8runder 136. one shot ahead of Watney. who had a 68. ".Not too much trouble to report in two rounds." said Kuchar, explaining the key to success in just about any major. The only trouble was sleep. Kuchar woke up at 4 a.m. to get to the course and resume his second round at 7 a.m. But while it was clear on the practice range. it was soon tough to sec the clubhouse 200 yards away. and players had to wait 2'? hours to start. Kw:har made birdie on his first hole - the sixth - to take the lead, finished up his 67, had a quick lunch and played the second round. ''Sitting around right now. it's nice to be done,'' said Kuchar. who left the course about 12 hours after he arrived. Woods finally teed off at 5:45 p.m., leaving him enough time to play six holes and make six pars. Only they sure wcrcn 't routine. He had to scramble for par off a cart path. out or grass up to his knees and from a grassy knoll that made it tough for him to keep his balance. After the siren sounded to suspend play, Woods opted to finish the sixth hole. He chipped out of deep grass below the green and left himself a 5-foot birdie putt that spun 270 degrees around the cup and sent him home somber. "Had to hang in there. and did a good job with that." Woods. who remained at I umlt:r. told a PGA official. The fog played havoc on the starting times.

Carnival rides are going into place on the midway, exhibitors and concessionaires are hustling about getting ready for a busy week. animals are filling last week's empty stalls, harness horse racing practice is underway on the track, and buildings unoccupied for months are being filled with things for fairgoer'> to buy, to be educated about, to be checked for. or to just ljoy watching. The 20 lO Meigs County Junior and Senior Fair moves into full swing tonight at 5 p.m. and then continues from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day through Saturday with barely a pause in the action. As this !47th run of the fair begins, let's reflect on the history of fam in Meigs County. It was in 1851 when the Meigs County Agricultural Society staged its first fair on Oct. 28 , 1851. in Middleport. It was a one-day event which consisted of exhibiting all kinds of animals along with some domestic arts and manufactured articles, according t<? historian Margaret Parker who researched old newspapers to piece together the history. Meigs County pioneer industrialist V.B. Horton gave the opening address at that first fair, which was described in The Democrat (newspaper) as attended by a "large and intelligent crowd." The second annual fair of the Meigs County Agricultural Society was held at the Rock Springs Hotel on Sept. 30, 1852. and the category of exhibits for premiums was expanded to include fruit and flowers. poultry and plows. But the following year the exposition was moved back to Middleport and "fancy articles" made their debut in the exhibitlineup. A major change took place in 1855 when the fair went from one day to two days. That year's fair was the first event to be held at what was described as a irgrounds located in the Rock Springs communi.. New to the program was the female equestrian ing match and there was an admission charge of 10 cents to get onto the grounds. In 1858 a concert ball and fireworks were added and with 'increased participation in the fair. the managers decided more space was needed. The next year the fair \vas moved to Racine to allow the fairgrounds at Rock Springs to be expanded. Progress was slow and in 1860 the fair was still being held in Racine. A newspaper article that summer reported that "Owing to the stringency in money matters, the absorption of the public mind in the destiny of the country (Civil War times) and the apparent small interest taken in the matter by the agricultural and manufacturing community, the Board of Directors of the Meigs County Agricultural Association decided to abandon the holding of a fair in the fall of 1861." Because of the "continuing exciting state of the country, and the interest taken by tfie people in their country's cause," the Meigs County Fair was not held in 1862 and probably not in 1863 or 1864. The next recorded M~igs County fair took place in 1865 and that year horse racing was added to the fair program. The first part of the Rock Springs Fairgrounds, 10 acres, was purchased in 1868 from Leonard and Jane Carleton for $1,500 by the Meigs County Agricultural Society. A second tract was secured from the Salisbury School Board in 1889, and that same year n additional small tract was deeded to the Society by me Carleton. The next fair was held on the fairground's hill where the scene was described in a newspaper as being held under sheds and on tables. "Outside of the sheds upon tables there was a creditable display of grain and vegetables. Beyond and under the trees were sewing machines and improved agricultural implements, and scattered about were refreshment stands, wheels of fortune, tin-type galleries, snake shows, striking machines, shoot in and ball throwing galleries, and other devices to catch pennies, too numerous to mention. However, that which attracted the most attention was the trials of speed on the race track." In 1889, the race track was enlarged from a onethird to one-half mile tract. A grandstand was built in time for the September 1890 fair. It was described as "easily seating one thousand persons and commanding an entire view of the race course. A back view of the grandstand is as attractive as the front. It consists of hash stalls whose counters bristle with ham sandwiches, ginger bread, and birch beer." reported the Meigs County Tribune. Because af the debt the Meigs County Agriculture Society incurred by improvements to the fairgrounds, no fairs were held in 1895 or 1896. By 1900 all that had changed and fairs were resumed. It was that year that a "baby show.. (what we now call a pretty baby contest) hailed at the time as the "event of the day. to e women at least" was added to the annu~l schedule f evens. As the years passed, attendance and participation grew and so did the debt for the construction of the curved grandstand and other improvenients and expenses. Litigation followed and a judgment was levied. That resulted in canceling fairs in 1915, 1916 and L917. But the fair returned in 1918 and that year's ladies features went from just a baby show to a beauty con-. test and hitching contests. Fairs continued as the Agriculture Society struggled with financial problems but in 1940 a suit calling for the dissolution of the Meigs County Agricultural Society was filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. In September 1941, the Agricultural Society was dissolved, and the, property was transferred to Meigs County. CharleneHoeflichlphoto The grandstand at the Rock Springs Fairground is unique among all others in Ohio in that it curves with the racetrack. Designed as a half-moon on the first turn in the mid-1880s by Lore Davis, it was listed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1983. CharleneHoeflichlphoto This log cabin, constructed in 1829, was moved piece by piece and reconstructed on the fairgrounds in 1987 It has two rooms with a stone fireplace and is filled with period furnishings. During fair week special displays and activities highlight the history of Meigs County. File photo Horse racing was introduced into the Meigs County Fair schedule about 1865, and has been a part of every fair since. This year's 149th fair will feature a full racing program beginning at noon on Saturday, Aug. 21. Meanwhile, a new society had been formed and in 1941 held a two-day fair at the Pythian Park in Middleport. Because of World War t I no full-fledged fairs were held in 1942, 1943 or 1944 although 4-H judging did take place, and members' items were exhibited. After a four-year absence. the fair returned to Rock Springs in 1945, where it has been held annually every since. A Junior Fair Board was organized in 1946 and remains active. In 1963. the centennial of the Meigs County Fair was celebrated. recognizing the fact that this was the lOOth fair held. The years since have seen tremendous growth, both in exhibits and participa- tion, as well as structures. • Since 1851. Meigs County has had fairs 147 times in three locations. Middleport: Racine. and Rock Springs. The fair has grown from a one-day event to the current six-days. It has seen many changes over the years - from development on expanded acreage, to the construction of many new buildings. to the expansion of entertainment. to broader educational and recognition features. to camping facilities and reserved parking. Year after year the Fair Board members· goal is to make things not only bigger but better and more enjoyable for those attending. This year will not disappoint. �PageC2. iunbap ~imes -ientinel Sunday, August 15, 2010 VFW donation Williams hired at Holzer Clinic GALLIPOLIS - Chauntelle Williams has recently been hired by Holzer Clinic-Sycamore Branch as a medical receptionist.

Sent to me by Beth Shaver was a clipping from her father's scrapbook written by the late Roy Cross about the church as it was about to celebrate its centennial in 1968. The reporter talked to Mr. and Mrs. Porter Midkiff, both 86 at the time and the oldest members of the congregation. They reflected on the early days of the church when buggies and horses crowded into the church yard and the people went to ~orship services conducted in an atmosphere of simplicity ...

Recently Mary Goodwin Bartels of the Twin Cities' area in Michigan, daughter of Norma Goodwin who operated a flower shop on Second Street in Pomeroy for many years, sent along some newspaper clippings, one of which is about her employment at the TNT plant in Point Pleasant during World War II. She w·orked there as a chemist testing TNT samples until .her mar-" riage to Bill Bartels and the subsequent move to Michigan. Now 87 and a widow, Mary spends her time dancing with the Fancy Dancers troupe and teaching seniors and others craft techniques.

The single rose displayed in a vase reminds us of the families and loved ones of our comrades in arms who keep faith while awaiting their return. The red ribbon tied so prominently on the vase is reminiscent of the red ribbon worn on the lapel and breasts of th01,1sands who bear witness to their unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting for our missing. A slice of lemon is on the plate ... to reminds us of their bitter fate. There is a salt upon the bread plate ... symbolic of the family's tears as they wait.

HMC observes month, offers classes GALLIPOLIS Holzer Medical Center announces the observance of Augusl as Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The week of Aug. 1-7 of each year is World Breastfeeding Awareness Week. Each year, this time has been designated to increase awareness and promote the benefits of breastfeeding for the infant, mother and the entire family. This year's theme is "Breastfeeding - Just 10 Steps - The Baby Friendly Way.'' These steps are keys that help henlthcare systems and community groups support mothers in starting out right and continuing to breastfeed longer. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and then continued breastfeeding with age appropriate foods for the first year.. , • . . . Accordmg to Cheryl Frazier, RN. IBCLC. Certified Lactation Consultant at Holzer Medical Center's Maternity and Family Center in Gallipolis. "consistent support is a key issue to ensure successful breastfeeding not only from family members, but also from professionals and the public.'' The 10 Steps start: Prenatally with infonning all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding. continues with ass1st~1ce in the hospital for newbarns' first Jatchon in t,he first 112 hour of age. room' ing in, no other fluids unless medically necessary and on through consistent instructions breastfeeding/pumping and storage, and postnatally I through c~ntinued support and education from the pediatrician, the obstetrician, Lactation Consultant. I and support groups. such as La Leche league. Laws have been passed to support breastfeeding mothers in the work place as well as in public. Jn March 20 I 0, amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 included "reasonable employee break time" and a place that was "not the bathroom" to express milk for a child till age I. Studies have shown that breastfeeding your baby can decrease the risk of SlDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), less allergies. and gives protection against infections to all babies. but especially for premature infants. Frazier adds that breast milk is designed to meet the specific needs of an infant. as the · breast milk of a mother who has given birth to a preterm infant is fonnulated for pre-tem1 growth needs. Babies born prematnrely miss out on the transplacental delivery of calcium, iron and immunoglobulins that occurs during the third trimester. The only way premature infants can receive the crucial immunoglobulins is through breast milk. A mother who breastfeeds can rest assured that she is providing for her child milk that was dcsignedf specifically for her infant. • Holzer Medical Center offers breastfeeding classes the third Tuesday of every month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Hospital's Education and Conference Center. For more information, or if you have questions about breastfeeding, call the Holzer Medical Center Maternity and Family Center at (740) 4465030. i �Page(~4 iunba~ ~imes -ientinel Sunday, August 15, 2010 Hill-Burnett wedding Bryan Cromley and Jennifer Wellington ffillington- c romley engagement Mr. and Mrs. Donald H.

The author spent four years talking with the mayor, prosecutor and doctor about the meth problem. He also interviewed meth addicts and traffickers. One shocking fact was that a version of meth, Benzedrine, was used heavily by both Na.li and Allied troops during World War II. It was long regarded as a "beneficial drug" because it helped workers (and soldiers) stay awake for long periods of time. . One of the biggest traffickers in the Midwest was Linda Arnold, sister of Tom Arnold of the Roseanne show. Many of the folks making meth did so to supplement their income after meat packing plants closed or were· sold, and their wages were cut significantly. Meth is made with ephedrine. The ephedrine processing plants were in Germany, China, India and the Czech Republic. We missed our chance to prohibit the importation of this damaging drug due to heavy lobbying of Congress by the pharmaceutical industry. Meth addiction affects men and women in equal numbers. It is very,debilitating to the body. ·One fellow in Montana tried to combat his state's meth epidemic by purchasing billboards showing meth addicts before and after they used the drug.

Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times/MCT · ~ 1 1 LOS ANGELES - Lauren Frodennan had all the right moves on "So You Think You Can Dance:· Viewer votes awarded the 18-year-old recent high school gradttate from Phoenix the title of "America's Favorite Dancer'' and the $250,000 grand prize. Frodennan bested 18· year-old runner-up Kent Boyd of Wapakoneta, Ohio, and 19-year-old third-place finisher Robert Roldan of Thousand Oaks, Calif.. on the Fox dancing contest's live finale Thursday. "I have been working my whole life for something like this,'' Froderman said. The bubbly contemporary jazz dancer was best known for her ability to pick up other styles, effortlessly taking on hip-hop, ballroom and Hollywood routine:. throughout tht: seventh season. She also deftly tackled a wardrobe malfunctiOn - a dangly broken dress strap - while perfom1ing a Broadway number during the third week of competition. Before Froderman 's crowning, the fmale featured perfonnances from dance troop Quest Crew, 7-yearold tap dancer Luke Spring and a duet between hiphop dancer Stephen "tWitch'' Boss and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. The former ''American Idol" judge held her own in the fast-pumping. therapy-themed routine set to "Outta Your Mind" by Lil' Jon an. LMFAO. . "As a joke, I said this would be fun to do," said DeGeneres. The seventh season was plagued with injuries that forced a few dancers out of the competition. It also introduced several switch-ups to the fonnat. including narrowing the finalist field from 20 to ll dancers. adding past contestants as partners and replacing screaming ballroom maestro Mary Murphy on the judging panel with cool choreographer Mia Michaels.

Growers visit backyards in cities BY SHEILA MULROONEY ELDRED FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Anders Gurda hops off his bike at various backyards in Minneapolis, ~rabs his garden tool,s and starts weedmg. When he's done checking for garden pests. adjusting the irrigation system and harvesting the vegetables (which he puts in the home's refrigerator or cooler), he cycles to his next plot and starts over. He's an urban backyard farmer. one of a growing breed throughout the country thanks to programs like Minnesota's Backyard Harvest. "It's like having a CSA (communitysupported agriculture program) in your own backyard, and you're supporting a farmer without a fann," Gurda said. The goal of Backyard Harvest, said coordinator Krista Leraas, is to encourage the growing of local foods. The group. under the nonprofit umbrella organization Permaculture Research Institute. is in its second year. Although it is rare in operating as ' a nonprofit, dozens of programs with similar missions have sprung up around the country and worldwide. . In Portland. Ore., a group called Your Backyard Fanner began in 2006 when Donna Smith and Robyn Streeter were growing weary of. driving through the city's outskirts looking for affordable land to farm . The thought struck them: "Why aren't we bringing food to the people?" T hey drove back to the city and printed out flyers advertising. their fam1ing services in urban neighborhoods. By the time they got home, they had ll messages inquiring about Your Backyard Farmer. That's the most advertising they· ve ever had to do. ~ast-forward four years: Your Backyatd Farmer is thriving with 58 backyarCl farms - and a waiting list for 2011. At least 27 other programs around the country and 15 abroad have consulted with Smith and Streeter. People ~ove the program for its convenience. the food's freshness and the ability tO ~ F ustomize. Smith said. "People could choose what they wanted - every single fam1 is different,'' Smith said. "Typical yards include tomatoes, peppers. eggplants, and people thought it was pretty cool to have those in ) ur own yard. Then everybody started going. I'll try arugula or adicchio. We have 42 vegetables, and they can Choose them all or just a few. If you don't like it \ve'll pull it out of the ground." • In many backyard-fanning programs, homeowners can choose from a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, and can choose full service (a fanner plants. maintains and harvests the garden) or a consulting service (the farn1er t~aches the homeowner how to maintain the garden so the homeowner can take over the next year) . Fanners may also give advice on how to use, cook and store the produce. Prices depend on the growing season an.d the square footage. In Minneapolis. pnces average around $1 .250 for the season. or aboi1t $11-$13 per square foot. and in Portland, prices start at $ 1,675 per season. Services are often available only in certain neighborhoods to redt.:ce the fanners' commutes. The programs often focus on sustain-· ability and organic foods. The ultimate goal, ~aid Leraas, is to create urban homesteads where people raise chickens, reuse rainwater and keep honeybees. for example. in addition to gardening. "We're spokespeople, pushing the local foods movement just by being there," said Gurda. Urban gardens carry challenges: carting tools and materials from yard to yard. working in confined spaces that can make it harder to organize plants, using soil that is sometimes contaminated with lead. The work is often seasonal. For the farmers, however. the rewards4often go beyond money. Smith and Streeter have made enough from Your Backyard Farmer to support themselves. but Gurda works three other jobs to support his part-time work as a farmer. "There's a disconnect here. It feeds the soul. but doesn't add much heft to your bank account." he said. "No one does it to get rich. We do it because it feels good. It makes sense. It's a statement that speaks not only to our dedication to good food for all people but it addresses our land ethic. our sense of priority. or moral code, our need to do sumt::Lhing of positive consequence.'' Gurda works l 0 to 15 hours a week for Backyard Harvest: farming fulltime, he said. would be his dream job. ..The best days are when I'm just finishing seeding as the sun is setting, or get to watch a spring thunderstorm roll in as I'm thinning the beets,'' he said. ··And I feel pretty damn lucky to be able to make a living doing this." HEAtJTHV PLATE: Consider fruit at the dinner table BY JIM ROMANOFF FORTHEASSOCIATED PRESS It If you found hard to get the t1ve daily; servings of produce you,' ve been told for years y,ou need. you'll probably find it even harder to get the nine serving experts now suggest. But adding a fruit chutney or compote to your dinner plate - rather than just over a dessert - can help nudge you along. Chutneys and compotes are both good choices , especially between seasons when fruits aren 't necessarily at their best. Both types of sauces usuaily are cooked. .which means that even if the fruits aren't that sweet. any sugars they do have will concentrate, and the resulting ·flavors will be much more intense. Compotes can be made with fresh or dried fruit, which usually is .left c hunky and baked or simmered in a light syrup. It can be served as a side or topping to a savory entree, such as chicken or pork. · A chutney is a condi,~ne nt made with fruits. vegetables or legumes. They can vary in texture, be s weet or sour. and range in spiciness from mild to very hot. Chutney can be made from a mixture of raw ingredients, but the most familiar versions. such as mango chutney. are · cooked and consist of a fruit or vegetable. sugar, vinegar and spices. This recipe for sauteed chicken breasts with s tra wherry-blueberry chutney is a delicious example of adding fruit sauces to your dinner plate. Early spring strawberries (whidl may not be their ripest) are cooked with intensely flavored. sweet dried blueberries. chopped red onion and spicy fresh ginger to create a sweet and savory sauce that complements chicken. pork or beef. If you like. substitute fresh rhubarb for the strawberries to create a more bracing chutney. ••• CHICKEN BREASTS .

EXTENSION CORNER Have you seen waving pink trumpet blooms in your flower bed or nearby abandoned home-sites that seem to have appeared from no-where? These flowering lilies, better known as Magic Lilies, Surprise Lilies. Naked Ladies or in botanical circles as Lycoris squamigera belong to the Amaryllis family. The foliage is missing at this time as it strap like leaves emerge in the spring like daffodil plants but do not bloom until late July and August. Like daffodils, Magic Lily foliage produces carbohydrates in the spring and stores these nutrients in a bulb several inches under the ground. When summer comes the Magic Lily bloom stalk emerges mysteriously without any plant foliage into full bloom. pink flowers. Foliage won't emerge until next spring. However, now is a time in which they can be tnoved into another flower bed. Dig deep to lift up both the bulb and root system of the plant. If there are· multiple bulbs· in one clump separate the bulbs into individual bulbs and replant them six to ten. inches apart and eight inches in depth. Mark your efforts, as you don't want to disturb them when you are planting other items in the flower bed. ••• There is still time to plant a fall vegetable garden. Check your left over seed packets for vegetables that like cool. weather. Lettuce, broccoli. fall cabbage. beets, radishes, collard greens, peas and spinach are just a few items that can be planted now and harvested yet this fall season. For those near the Ohio River perhaps even a few 50 day bush beans may mature before a heavy frost arrives. Have you ever wanted to grow your own garlic? Fall is ·the time to plant the individual cloves of garlic so they establish themsci ves (root into the soil) before winter weather returns. They will be harvested next spring. If you are interested in constructing cold frames, high tunnels or even a greenhouse to continue to grow vegetables and greens into the early winter check out the Master Gardener booth at the Meigs County Fair in the T hompsonRoush Building. Basic facts heets will be available there and at our o ffice. • •• Plan on attending this week the 147th Meigs County Fair.
