Much of the 15 item agenda of council business centered on ﬁlling recently vacated positions; Mayor Bryan Shank, Councilperson Ruth Spaun, and Village Administrator Joe Woodall tendered resignations in a prior meeting, while Building Inspector Clayton Taylor ﬁled his shortly after.

MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Health Department with assistance from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) conducted mosquito sampling in several areas of the county. These areas were selected based on complaints reported by citizens. Mosquito sampling is part of the health department’s new ‘Mosquito Surveillance and Control Plan’ and is used for the identiﬁcation of the mosquitoes and the testing for the mosquito-borne virus, West Nile Virus (WNV). Of the mosquito samples sent to the laboratory there were 6 out of 39 collections that tested positive with the West Nile Virus. Public health agencies ﬁrst detected WNV in Ohio in 2001. The virus has become native to Ohio and is present in every county in the state. Ohio has seen a drastic reduction in WNV cases since 2001. There were only 17 human cases reported last year. WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes are carriers (“vectors”) that become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to humans and other animals when they bite.

Grant to cover screenings for breast cancer Benefits area women in Mason, Meigs, Gallia Staff Report POINT PLEASANT — Pleasant Valley Hospital announces the Susan G. Komen of West Virginia has awarded a grant to the Center for Women’s Health at PVH. The grant will help women in the community by covering diagnostic testing costs for breast cancer as well as the cost for annual mammogram screenings, follow-up mammograms, copayments, mileage and hotel expenses. At the Center for Women’s Health at PVH, the grant from Komen will support an initiative that helps hundreds of women in the community defray costs associated with diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The program will involve covering charges for insurance co-pays, breast exams, mammogram screenings, follow-up mammograms, ultrasounds and stereotactic biopsies. “The highly specialized physicians and nurses at Pleasant Valley Hospital are focused on saving lives from this horrible disease, while at the same time establishing foundations that better the odds for future generations to survive breast cancer. We understand the importance of early detection, risk factors, and taking immediate action if anything is irregular. We want to make certain women in the community know we can provide them with immediate access to the services they need to detect breast cancer as early as possible and, if needed, face a diagnosis with the best possible medical and surgical care available,” stated Mohamed Alsharedi, MD, Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center oncologist and hematologist at PVH. Susan G. Komen is the world’s largest breast cancer organization, and Komen West Virginia is one of over a hundred afﬁliates on the front lines dedicated to ending breast cancer in their communities. Komen Afﬁliates fund innovative breast health programs that provide vitally needed breast cancer screening, medical supplies, ﬁnancial assistance (including emergency living expenses and insurance co-pays), as well as patient and family support. “At Komen West Virginia, we conducted a needs assessment of our community and discovered the need this grant meets. We are conﬁdent that through the Center for Women’s Health at PVH, hundreds of women in the community Pleasant Valley Hospital serves will have low-cost access to the care they need,” stated Dawn Holstein, grant chair, Susan G.

The most effective way to avoid West Nile virus or other mosquito-borne diseases is to prevent mosquito bites:Use insect repellents when you go outdoors. The most effective repellent includes the active ingredient diethyltoluamide (DEET). Wear long sleeves and pants from dusk through dawn when many mosquitoes are most active. Install or repair screens on windows and doors. The mosquito commonly known as the ‘Northern House Mosquito’ are the main carrier of WNV. Help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home by eliminating the places mosquitoes use to lay eggs. Old tires, aluminum cans, buckets, neglected bird baths, stagnant swimming pools and clogged rain gutters are only a few places around a home that will hold water long enough to breed hundreds or even thousands of mosquitoes. The peak mosquito season is from July through the ﬁrst freeze of the fall. The Meigs County Health Department is asking everyone to be vigilant about eliminating standing water around your home and to protect yourself from mos- quito bites by covering exposed skin or with the use a repellent. As part of the new Mosquito Surveillance and Control Plan, the health department will continue to sample for mosquitoes, conduct investigations to identify suspected mosquito breeding habitats, and implement control measures were necessary for the safety of the public.

There are 144 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 9, 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, a U.S. B-29 Superfortress code-named Bockscar dropped a nuclear device (“Fat Man”) over Nagasaki, killing an estimated 74,000 people. On this date: In 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden,” which described Thoreau’s experiences while living near Walden Pond in Massachusetts, was ﬁrst published. In 1902, Edward VII was crowned king of Britain following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria. In 1936, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics as the United States took ﬁrst place in the 400-meter relay. In 1942, British authorities in India arrested nationalist Mohandas K. Gandhi; he was released in 1944. In 1967, Ethel Le Neve, the mistress of notorious convicted wife killer Hawley Harvey Crippen, died in Croydon, England, at age 84. In 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally slain at Tate’s Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and a group of his followers were later convicted of the crime. In 1974, Vice President Gerald R. Ford became the nation’s 38th chief executive as President Richard Nixon’s resignation took effect. In 1982, a federal judge in Washington ordered John W. Hinckley Jr., who’d been acquitted of shooting President Ronald Reagan and three others by reason of insanity, committed to a mental hospital. In 1992, closing ceremonies were held for the Barcelona Summer Olympics, with the Uniﬁed Team of former Soviet republics winning 112 medals, the United States 108. In 1997, Haitian immigrant Abner Louima was brutalized in a Brooklyn, New York, stationhouse by Ofﬁcer Justin Volpe, who raped him with a broken broomstick. (Volpe was later sentenced to 30 years in prison.) An Amtrak train with more than 300 people aboard derailed on a bridge near Kingman, Arizona; 183 people were injured. In 2002, Oscar-winning actor and National Riﬂe Association president Charlton Heston, 78, revealed that doctors had told him he had symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s disease (Heston died in April 2008). Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hit his 600th homer, becoming the fourth major leaguer to reach the mark (the Pittsburgh Pirates won the game, 4-3.) In 2014, Michael Brown Jr., an unarmed 18-year-old black man, was shot to death by a police ofﬁcer following an altercation in Ferguson, Missouri; Brown’s death led to sometimes-violent protests in Ferguson and other U.S. cities. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush held a news conference in which he publicly prodded Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, his embattled war-on-terror partner, to hold free presidential elections, share intelligence and take “swift action” against terrorist leaders pinpointed in his country. China banned exports by two toy manufacturers whose products were subject to major recalls in the United States. David Beckham made his long-awaited Major League Soccer debut, entering in the 72nd minute of the Los Angeles Galaxy’s 1-0 loss to D.C. United. Five years ago: The United States began a landmark project to clean up dioxin left from Agent Orange at the site of a former U.S. air base in Danang in central Vietnam, 50 years after the defoliant was ﬁrst sprayed by American planes on Vietnam’s jungles to destroy enemy cover. At the London Games, Usain Bolt won the 200 meters in 19.32 seconds, making him the only man with two Olympic titles in that event. The U.S. women’s soccer team won the gold medal, avenging one of its most painful defeats with a 2-1 victory over Japan. Actor Al Freeman Jr., 81, died in Washington, D.C. Mel Stuart, 83, an award-winning ﬁlm documentarian who also directed “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” died in Los Angeles. One year ago: Gunﬁre broke out during a demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri, on the second anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, disrupting what had been a peaceful gathering but apparently wounding no one. House Speaker Paul Ryan defeated Paul Nehlen, a longshot Republican challenger praised by Donald Trump, in a Wisconsin congressional primary. At the Rio Games, Michael Phelps earned the 20th and 21st Olympic gold medals of his career as he won the 200-meter butterﬂy and anchored the United States to victory in the 4x200 freestyle relay. Katie Ledecky earned her second gold in Rio by winning the 200-meter freestyle. The U.S. women’s gymnastics team won gold for a second consecutive Olympics. Today’s Birthdays: Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Cousy is 89. Actress Cynthia Harris is 83. Tennis Hall of Famer Rod Laver is 79. THOUGHT FOR TODAY “The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.” — Edward John Phelps, American lawyer and diplomat (1822-1900) THEIR VIEW Internet has turned us into rage junkies Loving your curvy wife doesn’t make you a hero. But it shouldn’t make you a pariah either. Heidi RobStevens bie Tripp, Contributing a selfcolumnist described “TEDx speaker husband to a curvy goddess,” posted an online ode to his gorgeous wife, Sarah, and quickly won our collective contempt. “I love this woman and her curvy body,” he posted. “As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as ‘chubby’ or even ‘fat.’ Then, as I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very speciﬁc standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean) I realized how many men have bought into that lie.” He goes on, but you get the gist. The reaction was swift and predictable. A few outlets loved it and called it required reading. Others hated it. Reﬁnery 29 said it “reeks of the worst type of ‘male feminism.’” Twitter hopped in to do what Twitter does best: turn a thing into A Thing. “Good Morning America” ran a segment that boiled down to, essentially: Are we being too mean or the right amount of mean to this couple? On the one hand, ﬁne. The post was cringe-y. (“For me, there is nothing sexier than this woman right here: thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll, etc.”) On the other hand, really? We’re spending our days dragging a guy for his public display of affection? I wish I could ﬁnd our outrage meter and hit reset. We’re rage junkies. It’s not enough to roll our eyes at a thing we don’t like. We have to ﬁnd the thing and taunt it, tease it, torture it, like a bunch of bullies in a high school cafeteria. We’re like Oprah, but with scorn. “You get my scorn! You get my scorn! You get my scorn!” No infraction is small enough or utterly-inconsequential-to-our-lives enough to escape the rage. It’s not just self-congratulatory husbands we disparage. “Bachelorette” Rachel Lindsay watched a previously adoring Bachelor Nation turn on her Monday night when she chose a guy it didn’t like. Singer Ciara was roundly slammed for posting a photo of herself sliding down the Mutianyu Great Wall of China toboggan slide with her infant daughter. (“Has your attentionseeking narcissism as a couple affected your parenting decisions too?” one person tweeted at her. “This is ridiculous.”) I know, I know, don’t live so publicly if you don’t want the public weighing in. But are those really the only two options: Shut up, or shut up and take it? I can’t believe we aren’t better at this. I can’t believe we aren’t capable of glimpsing other people’s lives — love lives, social lives, parenting lives — and celebrating the stuff we like and shrugging off the stuff we don’t. I can’t believe how quickly we access our scorn. I can believe it, actually. I just don’t want to. The Atlantic pub- lished a sobering article this week about the damaging effects of too much screen time. It’s headlined, “Have smartphones destroyed a generation?” Yes, I want to answer. All of them. We wring our hands over teens who’d rather stare at their phones than do just about anything. “Rates of teen depression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011,” the Atlantic piece states. “It’s not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental-health crisis in decades. Much of this deterioration can be traced to their phones.” But what about the rest of us? Surely iGen doesn’t have a monopoly on deterioration. Besides, phones are just a vehicle. Twitter is just a medium. The petty mean streak is all us. It’s worth examining, I think, where we direct our outrage. It may be easier than ever to ﬂing scorn far and wide, but that doesn’t mean we should. Heidi Stevens is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Readers may email her at hstevens@ chicagotribune.com. THEIR VIEW Goodbye, Fitbit: Too clingy and always judging Dear Fitbit, I’m not sure quite how to put this. I really don’t want to hurt you. But I think we need Elise to take a Seyfried break. Contributing I know, columnist we haven’t been together long, but your degree of clinginess has been suffocating me. You literally never let go of my wrist, and every time I get an email or a text, you have to buzz like crazy and let me know. Well, guess what? I can check my own messages without being treated like Pavlov’s dog. And here’s another thing. You’re always judging, judging, judging. Sure, you give a little virtual cheer when I reach my daily goal, but I can tell you’re just being sarcastic. So what if I set my goal as 100 steps a day? It’s doable! Which is more than I can say about that ridiculous 10,000-steps goal that everybody else in the world seems to have! I can’t tell you how weird it is to be chatting with a friend late at night and have them suddenly get up and pace, because it’s quarter to midnight and they’re only at 9,000 steps. I ask you, and I ask you this sincerely, who the heck cares? There are lots of other facets to you, bells and whistles like totaling up my mileage, and even asking me about my sleep. What business is that of yours? The way I see it, unless I am sleepwalking, there is nothing about my nocturnal habits that should concern you. Let me have my space, for heaven’s sake! I have tried taking you off in the shower, at the beach, leaving you on my bedside table. But still you bug me, with regular email notiﬁcations about reaching (or more likely not reaching) my weekly goals. Sometimes I just want to do something drastic, like package you up and return you to Amazon. But something tells me you’d still ﬁnd a way to keep in contact. Worse, you might start sharing the intimate details of my daily slothfulness with your next owner! “Congratulations! You have reached your goal of 50,000 steps today! Elise Seyfried has yet to break 50! Don’t be like Elise Seyfried!” I realize that the simplest solution is to just let you wind down and not recharge you, but for some reason that feels like cheating. I need to be brave and face you, woman to piece of rubber with a battery in it, and tell you how I feel. So here goes: I feel guilty, 24/7, when I’m with you. Every time I sit down (which is, admittedly, most of the time), I am acutely aware that I “should” be up and moving. Listen, sweetheart, I am already plenty guilty about my eating habits and my sloppy housecleaning! I don’t need to get depressed about just taking a load off my feet. So let’s just agree to put a little distance (say, 10,000 steps) between us for a while. You can chill in a drawer, and I can live my slower-paced life without constant reminders that I should be doing better. What say I stop and smell the roses, and maybe you can relax too. I will gladly store you right next to my Jack Johnson CDs, and hopefully you can catch that vibe. I swear it will do you good. My dear Fitbit, let’s not say goodbye. Now, now, don’t cry! As Dorothy said to the Tin Man, “You’ll get all rusted!” You’ve just done what you were made to do, I get that. It’s not you, really. It’s me.

The 21st Century Cures initiative pumped $6.3 billion in funds across the country. Ohio received $26 million of that to be used by ADAMH boards and other state programs. Portman endorsed both sets of legislation. Shelton passed out lists of programs and provided additional information in regard to grant programs.

MASON, W. Va. — The Meigs Marauders made up themselves in “Maroon”, “White” and “Gold” on Monday among the green of Riverside Golf Course, as its “Maroon” six defeated Point Pleasant in a non-league dual golf match. The Marauder “Maroon” sixthsome —which consisted of arguably its top six boys players —downed Point Pleasant head-to-head 177-194. Meigs’ “junior varsity” players formed a full squad of six and shot 238, while four Lady Marauders managed a team score of 277. Ofﬁcially, the match was a dual between Meigs and Point Pleasant, which only has ﬁve golfers this season in the entire program. Both schools call Riverside Golf Course in Mason home this year. The top four scores count towards the team total, as Meigs’ top two players posted 40 or better —with all four of its counting cards showing 50 or below. Leading the “Maroon” unit was junior Wyatt Nicholson, who ﬁred a three-over-par 38 to capture match medalist honors. His “Maroon” teammate, senior Levi Chapman, chalked up a 40 for the medalist runnerup. All four teams were playing the Riverside par-35 back nine. Caleb Stanley with a 49 and Bobby Musser with a 50 rounded out the Meigs varsity counting scores. The Marauders’ two noncounting cards were a 53 from Bryce Swatzel and a 55 from Cole Arnott. Point Pleasant’s postings included Dylan Tayengco with a 45 and Bryce Tayengco with a 46, followed by Haley Pierson with a 50 and Colton Fridley with a 53. The non-counting card for the Black Knights was J.D. Leach, who joined the club this week, with an 81.

Tornadoes win season opener at MCGC By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY, Ohio — And they’re off. In the opening match of the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division golf season, the Tornadoes claimed 14-stroke victory over a ﬁve-team ﬁeld, moving to 4-0 in the league, on Monday afternoon at the Meigs County Golf Course. Southern compiled a total of 162 in the play six, count four format. Finishing second and now holding a 3-1 record was host Eastern with a total of 176. Wahama (2-2 TVC Hocking) claimed third with a total of 217, South Gallia (1-3) was next with 233, while Federal Hocking (0-4) placed ﬁfth with 244. Leading the way for Southern — which ﬁnished third in the league last fall — was match medalist Jonah Hoback, a senior who recorded a three-over-par round of 37. Next for Southern, two shots behind Hoback, was SHS junior Jarrett Hupp. Finishing third for the Purple and Gold and third overall was Jensen Anderson, with a six-over par 40. Rounding out South- ern’s total of 162 was Ryan Acree, with a round of 46. The Tornadoes potential tie-breaking scores were a 47 by Joey Weaver and a 49 by Trey Wood. Eastern — last season’s league runner-up — was led by junior Ryan Harbour, who recorded an eight-over-par round of 42. Next for the Eagles were Jasiah Brewer with a 43 and Nick Durst with a 45. Fourth for EHS, Kaleb Honaker rounded out the Eagles’ total with a 46. Also competing for the hosts, Garrett Chalfont recorded a 48 and John Harris ﬁred a 58. Wahama, which had just four golfers compete Monday, was led by senior Jace Heckaman with a 50. Next for the White Falcons, one shot back of Heckaman, was fellow WHS senior Anthony Ortiz. Carl Sayre posted a 56 for Wahama’s third score, while Kyher Bush rounded out the team total with a 60. South Gallia was led by senior Curtis Haner with a 10-over-par round of 46. The Rebels’ next score was a 59 by Dustin Bainter, followed by a 61 by Noah Spurlock. Layne Eastern’s Jasiah Brewer tees off on the par-5 eighth hole at the Meigs County Golf Course, in front of Southern’s Jarrett Hupp, on Monday. Ours capped off the SGHS total with a 67. Also playing for the Rebels, but not counting toward the team total were Madisyn Spurlock and Chloey Campbell with matching scores of 68.

Brandon Bond was next for the Lancers, carding a 62, while Taylor Coleman posted a 64 for the Maroon and Gold. Also competing, but not counting toward the FHHS total, Shane Fredrick shot a 67.

Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 PGA Championship to move to May in 2019 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Players are allowed to wear shorts during practice rounds at the PGA Championship. That won’t be necessary in two years when it moves to May. The PGA of America is moving its major championship to May for the ﬁrst time in 70 years when it goes to Bethpage Black on New York’s Long Island in 2019 as part of a longterm plan that involves a major shift in the golf calendar, including The Players Championship going back to its March date, The Associated Press has learned. Two ofﬁcials involved in the discussions say the PGA of America and PGA Tour will discuss details of the move as early as Tuesday at Quail Hollow Club, site of this year’s PGA Championship. They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the move has not been announced. The change has been in the works for four years, one ofﬁcial said. The catalyst behind the movement was golf’s return to the Olympics, along with the PGA Tour’s desire to wrap up its FedEx Cup before the NFL begins. The move to May also puts the PGA Championship in the middle of the major championship season — after the Masters, before the U.S. Open — instead of being stuck at the end in August when courses typically are softer because of the summer heat and sports fans have one eye turned toward football. Still to be determined is the how the rest of the PGA Tour schedule is constricted to ﬁnish around Labor Day. One ofﬁcial said the playoff event in Boston is likely to go away after 2018. Another ofﬁcial said one plan is for the Greenbrier Classic, typically held in July, to move to the fall. The PGA Championship has been in August since 1969 with two exceptions. Jack Nicklaus won in February 1971 when it was held at PGA National in South Florida, and last year it was held the ﬁnal weekend in July at Baltusrol ahead of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The PGA is scheduled for Harding Park in San Francisco in 2020, so there was always the possibility of moving to May during the next Olympic year. However, that would mean the PGA gets bounced around the calendar every four years. The PGA of America was interested in building continuity, and a move to May could energize what has been looked upon as the last of the four majors. That also would allow it to go to some areas that were deemed too hot for August, such as Texas, Florida and parts of the Southeast. It already has said the PGA Championship would return to Southern Hills in Tulsa before 2030. The last time it was held at Southern Hills, in 2007, temperatures topped 100 degrees. The move also could serve as a boost to golf courses around the country — the PGA of America has some 27,000 golf professionals — going into the heart of the season. But it also eliminates other parts of the country from hosting the PGA. One ofﬁcial said two traditional sites — Whistling Straits in Wisconsin and Hazeltine in Minnesota — would not be able to host the PGA Championship in May. Ofﬁcials feel comfortable with the weather and agronomy for Bethpage Black, and they are hopeful for good weather in 2023 for Oak Hill in Rochester, New York. The Players Championship, traditionally held in March two weeks before the Masters, moved to May in 2007 to get away from the biggest major of the year and create a sequence of big events through the summer. By going back to March, and creating space for the PGA Championship in May, it allows the tour to end its season around Labor Day instead of late September when the NFL is in full swing, and it keeps a strong sequence of events leading into the FedEx Cup playoffs. The PGA Championship celebrates its 100th anniversary next year, and it has a long history of moving around the calendar. The ﬁrst one was played in October in New York. Since then, it has been held in every month except for January, March and April. The last time it was played in May was 1949, when Sam Snead won at Hermitage Country Club in Virginia. Cutler comeback begins at Dolphins practice DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Jay Cutler woke up in his hotel room Tuesday morning and didn’t know where he was. Then the fog cleared, and he realized it was time to go back to work. The Miami Dolphins’ new quarterback practiced for the ﬁrst time since December, marking the start of his comeback from a brief retirement. Rust removal included 11-on-11 drills and one- on-one conversations as he learns the names of teammates. When the workout ended, the 34-year-old Cutler said he had no second thoughts about deciding to renew his working relationship with coach Adam Gase and return for another season. “It felt right,” Cutler said. “Going into work and getting here and going through the motions of the practice, it felt good. I told Adam thanks for bringing me in. It’s fun to be back out here.” Cutler, who parted with the Chicago Bears in March, agreed to delay his ﬂedgling network TV career when he signed a $10 million, one-year contract with Miami. He’s expected to start in place of Ryan Tannehill, who is out with a knee injury likely to sideline him for the entire season.
