The Southern Local Board of Education unanimously voted to establish the Southern Local School District Hall of Fame in 2013. The purpose of the Southern Local School District Hall of Fame is to recognize Southern Local School District graduates, employees, and major contributors who have distinguished themselves by their individual contributions in scholarship, athletics, career, community service, and or society as a whole. Individuals can be nominated by anyone, but must be approved by the selection committee. The committee voted on and conﬁrmed two candidates for both 2021 and 2022. Due to available space, and to provide each class with an opportunity to be featured, today’s edition features biographies from the Class of 2022, with the biographies from the Class of 2021 featured in a previous edition. The Class of 2022 as provided by Southern Local: Marvin Hill A 1967 graduate of Southern High School, after high school, Hill attended Career Academy Technical College in Washington, D.C. He started his career in 1968 as a dental lab tech in Columbus. In 1972, he opened Hill’s Dental Lab in Middleport. It was later moved to a space within Hill’s Automotive so he could oversee the work and production of both businesses. The dental lab was in business for 40 years serving many area dentists. As a young adult, he was actively involved in youth sports by coaching and ofﬁciating Racine Elementary basketball and coaching summer baseball for his son Andy’s teams. In 1978, he bought a 1956 T bird and restored it, which led to the desire to improve upon his skills and restore many more t birds. During this time, he showed his own cars, which caught the eye of many people who desired to have their cars restored. This led to the formation of Hill’s Classic Cars and Restoration in 1985. Having started out restoring 55-57 Thunderbirds, he grew his restoration business to the level where he needed a constant supply of 1955, 1956, and 1957 NOS and reproduction parts for his Thunderbirds. With the demand for parts being driven by the ongoing success of the restoration business, it was only a matter of time until Hill’s Automotive took over as a parts distributor for 55-57 Thunderbirds in 2003. Quality, experience, and award winning are just a few of the words that customers associate with Hills Automotive. The success of these businesses is credited to the hard work of the 15 employees. They have restored and sold cars from England, Germany, and all over the continental United States. Besides Thunderbirds, Hill’s Classic Cars and Automotive have been highly recognized for a variety of other accomplishments. They restored a 1926 Harley JD with a sidecar which is in a museum in Rockford, Illinois. They restored a 1938 Cadillac Convertible Coupe, which won the Cadillac Grand Nationals and Best Cadillac in the AACA, which was then featured on the cover page of AACA magazine. His shop also restored a 1971 Charger 440 six pack that was featured on the cover of Mopar Muscle magazine, and a 1958 Edsel station wagon See SOUTHERN | 10 AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Wednesday, March 23, 2022 s 50¢ Lucas speaks to students Photos by Brittany Hively | OVP Former NBA player, ranking 4th in NBA history with a career average of 15.6 rebounds per game, spoke to South Gallia Middle and High School students about the importance of education and how it’s impacted his own life. Former NBA star promotes education at Gallia Middle/High School By Brittany Hively bhively@aimmediamidwest.com CROWN CITY — Said to be one of the best basketball players of all-time, Jerry Lucas is now living his passion as he travels the country speaking on education. Known as Dr. Memory, Lucas — who now resides in Gallia County — recently visited South Gallia Middle/High School to share his passion with students. Lucas said his mind was always busy — counting cracks in sidewalks, number of things on hallways, eventually spelling and rearranging letters into different orders — something that was “absolutely useless.” “But it kept my mind reappear in out mind by just thinking. Now that is totally out of our control, we can’t stop.” Lucas asked the students not to see a zebra in their mind, then stating it was “too late, you already saw it.” The turning point, Lucas said, was when his fourth grade teacher taught the class the names of the Great Lakes. “Our teacher said, ‘Today class, I’m going South Gallia Middle and High School students had the opportunity to teach you the Great to meet with Jerry Lucas after hearing about his trick to education.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Natural Areas and Preserves will track this year’s wildﬂower show with the weekly Bloom Report every Friday through mid-May, beginning on March 25. “Spring blooms in a beautiful way across Ohio, as wildﬂowers make their annual debut,” ODNR Director Mary Mertz said. “Taking a walk in some of our wooded areas over the next few months is a great way to see the colorful blossoms and enjoy the outdoors.” Often known as spring ephemerals, woodland spring wildﬂowers are awoken by the warming temperatures and longer days. With varying tem- Ohio Department of Natural Resources | Courtesy Pictured here is the bloodroot. peratures and rainfall in any given year you never know what display Ohio will see. Many spend the winter as bulbs and begin to pierce the thawed soil as early as March, ﬂower and set to seed, then senesce and go dormant all before summer, hence their ‘ephemeral’ moniker, the press release from ODNR stated. Ohio’s spring wildﬂower displays can be seen in our forests and woodland habitats, beginning in the south and later blooming in the northern part of the state. They take advantage of the abundant sunlight reaching the forest ﬂoor prior to the canopy leafing back out. Once the forest ﬂoor darkens with shade the displays wane signiﬁcantly. While most woods in Ohio contain at least a few native spring wildﬂowers, the best displays and showcases are found in older, more undisturbed locations away from urban areas. The centuries of leaf and wood decay make for rich soil that beneﬁts our ﬁrst bloomers, according to the release.

Junior Hunter Lilly drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the top of the sixth inning, ultimately allowing Haydn Scott to come home with the eventual-game winner as the Point Pleasant baseball team notched its ﬁrst win of 2022 with a 3-2 decision over host Ravenswood in a nonconference matchup Monday night. The Big Blacks (1-1) found themselves in a quick 2-0 deﬁcit after an inning of play, but the guests rallied with two runs in the top of the second to knot things up at 2-all. After 3-plus scoreless innings of baseball, PPHS caught its big break in the sixth as Scott delivered a 1-out single and Zach Jordan followed with a 2-out single to put Scott in scoring position. Brylan Williamson drew a 4-pitch walk to load the bases, then Lilly watched a 3-2 pitch miss the zone before trotting down to ﬁrst base while acquiring the easiest of RBIs for a 3-2 edge. The Red Devils went down in order in both the sixth and seventh frames, with Williamson going the full seven innings and fanning the ﬁnal ﬁve batters en route to the complete-game victory. Williamson allowed only two hits and no earned runs while walking one and striking out 13. The Big Blacks outhit RHS by a 6-2 overall margin and also committed the only error of the contest. Bennett led the Ravenswood half of the ﬁrst off with a single and Taylor was hit by a pitch, then an error allowed Bennett to come home for a quick 1-0 cushion.

Robert Dutton Award winner for 2022. He is the ﬁrst wrestler from this Mason County school to win the award which is given annually to the best wrestler in the Mountain State. Raike will receive the award at the 75th Victory Awards Dinner scheduled May 1 at Embassy Suites in Charleston. “He’s very deserving,” Big Blacks coach John Bonecutter said. “The kid the last four years has been an amazing kid.” “That’s awesome,” Raike said. “To be honest I didn’t think I could win it. I knew there’s a lot of good wrestlers in the state. To be the ﬁrst from Point Pleasant to win is something else. It’s never been easy.” Raike and teammate Justin Bartee became the program’s second and third four-time state champs when they won titles in the 75th West Virginia State High School Wrestling Tournament at Mountain Health Arena in Huntington. Bartee won at 145 pounds and Raike at 160 and voted Class AA’s outstanding wrestler. Bonecutter got the Dix Manning Coaching Award for leading the Big Blacks to a record four-peat as state champion. They won six of seven title matches and racked up 233 points to 116.5 for runner-up Fairmont Senior. Rusty Maness (200811) was the ﬁrst four-time state champion at Point Pleasant. Bonecutter sensed Raike would become a force on the mat as early as his freshman season. “He’s always been good,” Bonecutter said. “Even his freshman year, I thought this kid would win four state titles. Last summer he made an amazing jump and may be one of the best kids ever out of West Virginia.” Actually, Raike is part of 11 state championship teams when you throw in the three straight West Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Derek Raike has his hand lifted in the air after capturing his fourth individual state championship in the 160-pound division of the 2022 WVSSAC Class AA-A Championships held on Saturday, March 5, at Mountain Health Arena in Huntington, W.Va. Virginia State Team Dual titles the Big Blacks won starting in 2020. Other individual honors include NHSCA All-American, Greco All-American and two-time Disney AllAmerican. His senior year mark was 47-2 and career-record 170-5. And there’s one last state record Raike is associated with. He scored 118 points out of a possible 120 in his four state tournament wins. That ties him with Josh Humphreys, who won state titles at three different schools over four years (2015-18). He now competes at Lehigh University. A wrestler can score a maximum of 30 points in a state tournament if they pin all their opponents. “He only left two points on the table,” Bonecutter said. “Simply amazing.” Raike has signed to wrestle at Ohio University, a Mid-American Conference member. The Bobcats had two at-large selections for the NCAA Tournament held May 17-19 in Detroit. “The kid’s a beast. Ohio University got a good one,” Bonecutter said. Raike called the 202122 campaign a “dream season.” The losses came in two big-time events at 152 then. He was third in the Ironman and lost in the semiﬁnals in the Powerade Tournament. “I didn’t expect to go on and do as well I as I did,” Raike said, referring to the Powerade event where he got injured and had to default twice. “I went out to prove myself all the time. You don’t overlook anyone. Ohio University has a good program. It’s the next level. I’m excited and can’t wait to get started.” Bonecutter has been around Raike ever since his days as a physical education teacher in elementary school. “You always worry,” Bonecutter said. “Turned out pretty good for him.” Bartee ﬁnished second in the Dutton Award voting. Ian Bush (182) of Class A state champ Cameron and state champion Gage Wright of Parkersburg South (170) also got votes. “To ﬁnish one-two says something,” Bonecutter said. “I told them at the start try to enjoy the season. They got used to winning.” Raike and Bartee are the 23rd and 24th of the Mountain State’s fourtime state champion club. Before Raike, Anthony Jeffers (2008) was the only Point Pleasant wrestler named Most Outstanding Wrestler in Class AA-A. Bartee actually dropped down two weight classes this season and ﬁnished 38-7 and 152-10 for his career. He’s a commit to Davis & Elkins College. Point Pleasant is now one of three programs in West Virginia to produce a trio of four-time state champs. The others are Spencer and Parkersburg South.

India, Stephenson need to carry more of the load for Reds By Gary Schatz I have one year under my belt. I still have to prove myself. All I can do is get better at my game. “I want to be more consistent at the plate and improve my stolen bases,” said India, who was the seventh overall pick in the 2018 draft out of the University of Florida. “I just need to work and get better every day. I will pick a routine and stick to it.” Stephenson also found success in his ﬁrst full season. A ﬁrst-round draft pick in 2015, he made his major league debut in 2020, hitting a home run in his ﬁrst at-bat. Last spring he came to camp trying to stick as a backup catcher behind Tucker Barnhart. Stephenson not only ﬁlled that role, he established himself as a middle-of-the-lineup hitter to the point that the Reds played him at ﬁrst base to get his bat in the lineup, spelling Joey Votto. His batted .286 with 21 doubles and 10 homers and instilled so much conﬁdence that the Reds traded Barnhart to the Detroit Tigers. “I am working on the catching position,” Stephenson said. “I’m working on my catching stance and getting in better position. Other than that, I’m just trying to have fun and make some adjustments, nothing major.” Associated Press GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Jonathan India exceeded expectations by winning the Reds’ second base job and then National League Rookie of the Year. Rookie Tyler Stephenson last season showed that he could be Cincinnati’s everyday catcher. Both will try to avoid a sophomore letdown while being asked to carry more of the load in the Reds offense in 2022. After being stuck at the alternate site during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, India came to camp in 2021 to prove himself. He won the starting job at second base in spring training while providing the Reds’ offense with a reliablelead off hitter. On May 8, India’s batting average dipped to a season-low .208. But then he took off, ﬂirting with the .300 mark and showing surprising power with 21 home runs after hitting 17 in two minor league seasons. He ﬁnished .269/.376/.409 with 57 extra base hits and a team-leading 12 stolen bases. The 25-year-old India knows he has much more work to do. “I don’t consider myself established yet,” he said. “I want to improve as a player.

The Wahama softball team put together a pair of 1-run and 3-run innings at the plate and ultimately surrendered only two hits Monday night during an 8-0 victory over host Buffalo in a non-conference matchup in Putnam County. The Lady Falcons (2-0) took a permanent 1-0 lead in the top of the ﬁrst after a Lauren Noble sacriﬁce ﬂy allowed Mikie Lieving to score. WHS tacked on three runs in the third and added three more in the ﬁfth for a 7-0 cushion, then completed things with an insurance run in the seventh. Wahama outhit the Lady Bison by a 6-2 overall margin. BHS produced both of its hits in the bottom of the ﬁrst and also committed all four of the errors in the contest. Lieving went the distance for WHS, allowing two hits and no walks over seven frames while striking out 18. Only one BHS runner reached safely after the ﬁrst inning as Affolter was hit by a pitch with one out in the seventh. Lieving led the guests with three hits and four runs scores while also driving in a single run. Noble was next with two hits and a game-high three RBIs, while Amber Wolfe added a safety and drove in two runs. Elissa Hoffman and Bailee Bumgarner also scored a run apiece for the victors, while Emma Knapp had an RBI as well. Affolter had a double in the ﬁrst that followed a 2-out single by Darnley, but both were stranded in scoring position. Wahama splits DH with Tyler MASON, W.Va. — Not the desired result, but an even start to the season nonetheless. The Wahama baseball team dropped its season opener and avenged that setback just a few hours later on Saturday following split with Tyler Consolidated in the Little Kanawha Conference openers for both programs at Claﬂin Stadium. TCHS rolled to a 5-0 victory in Game 1 as Ty Walton struck out 16 and tossed a 7-inning nohitter to start the year. The Silver Knights produced just ﬁve hits and committed the only error, but also beneﬁted from four walks and two hit batsmen. Ethan Gray drew a pair of walks for the White Falcons (1-1, 1-1 LKC), who managed only four baserunners in the contest. Trey Ohlinger and Zach Fields also received a free pass apiece. The White Falcons more than bounced back in Game 2 as the Red and White erupted for 11 hits in a 14-2 mercy-rule victory that lasted ﬁve innings. WHS led 5-2 after an inning of play, then tacked on four runs in the fourth and another ﬁve scores in the ﬁfth to complete the 12-run outcome. Wahama outhit Tyler Consolidated by a hefty 11-2 overall margin and also beneﬁtted from seven TCHS errors in the contest. Gray and Nathan Manuel paced WHS with three hits and three runs scores apiece, while Ohlinger added two hits and two runs scored. The trio also drove in two RBIs each. Fields, Bryce Zuspan and Hayden Lloyd recorded a safety apiece as well for the victors. Fields and Lloyd also drove in two RBIs each, with Zuspan knocking in a run as well. Zuspan was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two runs (both earned), two hits and six walks over 3.1 innings while striking out ﬁve. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

He gave no details. The Western ofﬁcial, though, said that there were no signs Moscow was ready to compromise. In the last update from Mariupol ofﬁcials, they said March 15 that at least 2,300 people had died in the siege. But there are fears the toll could be much higher. Airstrikes over the past week devastated a theater and an art school where many civilians were taking shelter. Thousands have managed to ﬂee Mariupol, where the bombardment has cut off electricity, water and food supplies and severed communication with the outside world. The city council said Tuesday that more than 1,100 people who had escaped the siege were in a convoy of buses heading to a city northwest of Mariupol.

Still, not all experts are equally concerned about a BA.2-related rise in U.S. cases. Dr. James Musser, head of genomic medicine and infectious diseases at Houston Methodist, said the variant has so far only caused about 1% to 3% of cases in his medical system. Cases there have usually tracked closely with what’s happening in the U.K. He called BA.2 “something we’re keeping an eye on,” but said, “I’m not losing sleep” over it. 46° 30° Murray City 69/46 McArthur 71/46 Very High Primary: juniper, elm, maple Mold: 132 Moderate Chillicothe 70/46 SUNDAY 43° 27° Cloudy and cooler Logan 70/46 ant has gained ground, scientists say, is that it’s about 30% more contagious than the original omicron. In rare cases, research shows it can sicken people even if they’ve already had an omicron infection — although it doesn’t seem to cause more severe disease. Vaccines appear just as effective against both types of omicron, but breakthrough infections are possible. And experts point out that vaccination rates are lower in the U.S. than the U.K. About 74% of those 12 and older are fully vaccinated in the U.S, compared with 86% in the U.K. SATURDAY 48° 37° Shown is today’s weather.

Keri Althoff, a researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, cautioned that CDC case counts underestimate the true numbers because some people are no longer getting tested and others are testing at home and not reporting the results.

They have a relaxation of some restrictions such as indoor masking and there’s a waning of immunity” from vaccines and past infections. In the U.S., the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows overall COVID-19 cases have been trending down.

While some Republicans have complained that Jackson was defending terrorists, she noted that defenders don’t pick their clients and are “standing up for the constitutional value of representation.” Jackson said she continued to represent one client in private practice because her ﬁrm happened to be assigned his case. She appeared taken aback during further questioning on her detainee work from Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who asked why she would have called former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and former President George W. Bush “war criminals” in a legal ﬁling. “It seems so out of character for you,” Cornyn said. �NEWS 10 Wednesday, March 23, 2022 Ohio mapmakers to Lucas meet on 4th set of Lucas said the teacher the class imagine statehouse districts had the Great Lakes and then imagine homes floating all over the lakes and then that HOMES is the lakes — Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior. “And I thought to myself, I’ll never forget that,” Lucas recalled. “But the next thought that went through my mind gave me, I didn’t know it at the time, but the purpose and meaning of my life. I thought to myself, what if I could picture everything I needed to learn.” From then on, Lucas has spent his time “giving identities to everything that’s intangible and abstract.” Lucas said he did this with everything he needed to learn, becoming a “phenomenal student” by the time he reached Ohio State University. During the same time, Lucas started basketball, playing only 15 seconds his first season. “I decided I want to be a good basketball player and I realized there was only one way to do that,” Lucas said. “And that was to work. It was to dedicate myself to do things that were necessary to be a good basketball player.” Lucas said his mind had been involved in everything he had ever done in life, including sports, and including basketball. “Before that next summer started, I would lie in bed prior to going to sleep, I thought about shooting,” Lucas said. “I developed techniques in my own mind, I developed an acronym that U was going to follow every time I shot a ball.” The acronym, DAD — direction, arc and distance — became the start of Lucas’ practicing where he said he shot 5,000 shots every single day that summer. “I never shot a shot without a purpose in itself,” Lucas said. “I had a purpose for what I was doing and I was thinking about what I was doing and after a period of time, I became a really good shooter. I got to the point then when making a shot, really, was too easy.” Lucas said he then switched things up, practicing pinpointing his shots and missing shots to see where they would land and other skills. Lucas would eventually become one of the best rebounders of all time, with a career average of 15.6 rebounds per game. Lucas said his heart has always been in education and word got around about his studying techniques. During his time at Ohio State University, he was approached by Woody Hayes, football coach, to assist one of his players with studying for a test. “All I did was developed a picture for the term and develop pictures for the meaning and put the two together,” Lucas said. “Every time he thought of the term, he saw the answer.” The student Lucas assisted did so well on the test that his professor thought he cheated, needing the student to come in and take the test again. “If you can picture intangibles and make them tangible, learning is simple and easy,” Lucas said. Lucas released a book in 1974, The Memory Book: The classic guide to improving your memory at work, at school and at play. He has now authored more than 60 books on memory and learning and is widely known for his expertise in memory. Lucas said he does not have a unique skill or ability, he just knows how to use a skill that we all have. Since his retirement from the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1974, Lucas has devoted his time to education — hiring an artist to help illustrate the pictures he has made for intangible objects and creating Dr. Memory’s University, an educational website to help students learn. “Learning by repetition has never been and never will be any fun,” Lucas said. “But that’s all we’ve ever known. I realized to change the beginning, I had to know more about those beginning subjects.” For the next five years, Lucas said he read hundreds and hundreds of textbooks, taking copious amounts of notes, staying up from 3 a.m. to midnight every day. Dr. Memory’s University includes pictures Lucas made for “tens of thousands of pictures” from planets to spelling to English to math and more. Lucas said his website is currently in 2D and needs to be in 3D. He is currently working with Gov. Mike DeWine and the Department of Education to bring the website up-to-date and ready for use. “I’m excited that I’ve done something that’s going to make a difference,” Lucas said. “My whole life, I had the opportunity to become a multimillionaire several times in my life, and I could care less.” Lucas said many tried to get him to stay with the NBA. “I said the purpose of my life is to change education in America,” Lucas said. Lucas said he could talk forever about education and he cannot wait to offer his website to students. One thing Lucas said he is excited to do is offer the service to students in Ohio for two years, free of charge and that the program will be available nationwide. “It works. It’s simple. It’s fun. People who have seen it are amazed and it will spread across America,” Lucas said. Lucas allowed students to ask any questions they may have about basketball, memory or his education plan. Dylan asked if Lucas still read most of the night. “I did that for 40 years. I sleep about five hours a night,” Lucas said. “I still get up every day, excited to enjoy work. [About] getting three hours of sleep a night, I prayed about it. I said, Lord, you gotta help me. I never got tired.” Phil asked what brought Lucas to Gallia County. “I’ve been here about two years. I love it,” Lucas said. “I absolutely love it. When COVID started, I was concerned, so I called some friends down here and I said I want to come stay for awhile. And I came and loved it, like it so much that I stayed.” Lucas said he will need to travel with the development of his website, but hopes to come back to Gallia County when it is complete. Ellen asked if Lucas regretted not going into education. Lucas said he majored in marketing, but did not know why. He said he never took an education class. Lucas said he is excited to help others. “I’m excited my life is going to be meaningful,” Lucas said. © 2022, Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. ters. She loved teaching to music and movement. Former students still mention Mickey Mouse Disco and learning the alphabet through singing and dancing. She loved instilling school spirit into her students. She loved making “shakers” with Ms. Jean and Ms. Romaine so each child would have one for the Homecoming parades and always made sure that each child had on a purple or gold shirt to show their spirit while watching the parade. She retired in 1999 from a teaching career that lasted 30 1/2 years. At Southern, she coached high school volleyball for 13 years (Fall 1980-Fall 1992). Her teams had 3 SVAC titles (1981-1983) and 4 sectional titles (1982-1984 and 1988). The Fall 1982 Volleyball Team had a record of 20-2. Her teams were a favorite among officials as the players were skilled, knowledgeable, focused and talented. The girls were respectful and always displayed good sportsmanship. Her teams were often victorious over larger schools. When former players speak of her, they always say she encouraged them to do their very best to compete for their school and to make the school and community proud. She would study her opponents so she could prepare her teams to perform their best. She was always so passionate about teaching the game and winning and this spilled over to her athletes. She would study the rules and plays and made sure her team was aware of the correct way to execute the plan. You could say she was a perfectionist and knew every aspect of the game. Her high expectations were doable because of the preparation she put into every aspect of the game. She would take Southern volleyball teams to OU volleyball games to encourage them to strive harder and to know that there was always something to learn. She never demanded respect but she earned it. She was proud that she was able to coach her daughters, Wendy, Tricia, and Megan. She always stressed to her teams that we “live as a team and we play as a team.” Her teams were a family. They dressed exactly alike on the way to a game, during a game, and after a game. She always wanted something special for her athletes so she started holding formal banquets for them at the Meigs Inn. This was a very important celebration to end the season. She was so proud of the relationships she built with those girls. Former players, Tonja, Mel, and Cindy said that she was a joy to play for and that once in a while they could get away with calling her “Suz”. They said she gave her players the best possible chance to succeed and cared for her players on and off the court, and that she wasn’t just trying to mold her players to be good volleyball players, she was molding them to be good people. A formal official, Lois Harkins said she wanted her players to succeed in all aspects of their lives. She took the challenge to equal the playing field for girls in high school sports. Although volleyball was her passion and her coaching career was successful, an exciting time was when she coached softball for one year, 1981-82. This team was SVAC League, Sectional, and District Champions. After her coaching career ended, she knew she could not give up sports completely so she decided to become an official. She was a registered OHSAA volleyball official for 13 years and a registered OHSAA basketball official for 7 years. After retiring from teaching, she volunteered with the Meigs County Retired Senior Volunteer program for 6 years, Tricia’s third graders at Letart Elementary and then at Southern Elementary. She also worked for Darrell Norris Greenhouses as a payroll clerk for 12 years. She loved and supported the Southern Tornadoes from the time she moved to Racine until she became ill in the fall of 2017. Some of her favorite memories include cheering on the Southern basketball tournament teams at Meigs HS, Chillicothe HS, and the Convo, and also the 1980 and 1982 Southern Basketball State Tournament Teams at St. John’s Arena. She loved her time making signs with friends and helping to place them all along the tournament trail. She loved cheering on her grandchildren. At one time, she was cheering on grandchildren in 4 different school districts. She cheered for all of their teams and wanted them to win, but her heart was always with the Tornadoes. She loved her basketball seat up at the top with the Salser/ Hunter family as she cheered for Taylor and Trey’s teams. She was a member of the Middleport Heath Methodist Church where she sang in the choir, the Meigs County Retired Teachers Association, the Ohio University Bobcats Club “Jan’s Fans”, the Middleport Alumni Association, and the Alpha Mu Beta Sorority. She enjoyed spending time with family, cheering for the Bobcats, Buckeyes, or Reds and working in her yard. She passed away in January 2018 at 70 years old.
