VINTON — When Flem and Donna DeWittMeade purchased the small, white block house next
to the old Vinton Mill property, which they already
owned, the plans were to turn it into storage.
“Somehow, we ended up taking it to the ground and
building a new structure,” Donna DeWitt-Meade said.
“After that, things just snowballed. We weren’t sure
what we wanted to do with the house at that time. We
put the cedar siding on and the windows in the house,
landscaped, and built the pergola and decks to make it
visually aesthetic on the outside. For quite a while, the
inside remained pretty much an empty shell.”
A friend of the family helped them decide to
move forward with a retreat.
“Mary Lanier, of Vinton, had a niece from Florida
visiting her in the fall of 2013. She told Mary to tell us
that if the cottage was finished next year in October, she
wanted to rent it for the entire week of the Bob Evans
Farm Festival (and she did),” Donna said. “So, I credit
Mary Lanier and Susan Juarez as the push behind us
deciding to finish the inside, to make it a bed and breakfast of sorts, and to officially become a business.”

MIDDLEPORT —
When her second cousin
needed multiple blood
transfusions after a Gallia County car accident,
Kathy Baker’s blood knew
she needed to donate her
blood.
“I had to go to Huntington and give him my
blood,” she said. “They
kept me filled up extra so
that I could give it. They
gave me certain things to
eat — iron and that kind
of stuff — to build it up.”
Baker’s blood saved her
second cousin’s life, and
after a nine-week coma
he woke up the day his
daughter turned 1 year
old.
Since then, Baker has
continued to donate
blood in the Ohio Valley,
including Monday’s blood
drive at the Middleport
Church of Christ.
Jeanne Baer, sponsor of
the blood drive, said the
church holds two blood
drives a year: one in July
and another in December.
More than the expected
14 donors showed up,

although some cancelled
due to the Flu virus going
around, Baer said as she
donated blood herself.
According to Red
Cross volunteer Teresa
Atkinson, of Parkersburg,
W.Va., before anyone is
cleared to give blood,
they must complete a
mini-physical, which
checks factors like blood
pressure, pulse, temperature and iron levels. With
a 15-minute physical, a
15-minute donation time
and 15 minutes of paperwork, the entire process
only takes about 45 minutes to an hour, she said.
Donors can be as young
as 16 with a parent’s permission, must weigh 110
pounds and can donate
up to 470 millileters of
blood.
“That could save up to
two lives,” she said.
After the blood drive is
finished, the blood is sent
to a Johnstown, Pa., lab
and the blood is readied
and shipped back. Donors
will also receive a card that
tells them their blood type.
Baer said the Red Cross
loves it when she donates
blood, as her B-negative

“If you donate blood
(to) somebody in your
family that you know,
either immediately or
otherwise, or even if
your friends, if there’s a

need for blood you can
donate and save several
lives doing so,” Baer said.
“And it’s a worthwhile
thing to do.”

PIKETON — Workers cleaning up a Cold Warera uranium plant in southern Ohio say the cancellation of hundreds of layoffs is a welcome reprieve
but doesn’t halt an undercurrent of uncertainty
created by the project’s unusual funding structure.
Even before Congress recently approved extra
federal funding that averts those job losses, workers grateful to avoid layoffs at the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant this holiday season
had turned their worries to next fall. The current
fiscal year ends then, and they anticipate they’ll
again be fighting for funding.
The Piketon project run by the U.S. Department
of Energy receives government appropriations but
at times has drawn 60 percent or more of its funding from uranium transfers, creating uncertainty
as officials plan work without knowing when and
how prices will fluctuate.
Dips in uranium prices can create a scramble
to cover any shortfall in the expected cleanup
budget, as happened in recent months before Congress allotted $209 million for the project. That’s
less than project officials sought but enough to get
by without major cuts.
The process left project leaders, local governments, union officials, lawmakers and employees
frustrated and united in a push for more money.
“There’s small communities of DOE sites
that basically helped this country through the
Cold War era … and now we’re dealing with the
legacy of it and it’s like a problem they don’t
really want to address,” said Alex Watts, of
Wheelersburg, who has worked at the project
since 2008.
“We just don’t understand as workers why we
have to beg every year to keep doing the job
that we’re doing,” he said.
The facility roughly 60 miles south of Columbus
produced enriched uranium until 2001. Decontamination and decommissioning work to pave
the way for possible redevelopment employs more
than 1,800 people, providing some of the bestpaying jobs in a pocket of high unemployment.
Some workers, especially those with little
seniority, worry those jobs could disappear without much notice.
Watts, 30, said he and his wife have put off moving and remodeling and avoided some major purchases because they weren’t sure they could cover
the costs.
Greg Collier, of Jackson, said he’s higher up the
seniority list, having worked at the site in various
jobs since 1988, except for one lengthy layoff. But
he said he still finds it tough to plan for the future.
“It weighs on your mind: Am I going to have
a job tomorrow? Am I going to have a job next
year?” the 59-year-old Collier said. He’s among the
workers who want the government to more directly fund the project, rather than relying on uranium
barter funding.

THEIR VIEW

Middle-class
retirees
deserve better
The devastating pension reform crammed into
the omnibus spending bill that will likely soon
become law would allow pension trustees to slash
the benefits of retired workers and cut future
benefits for a shrinking pool of middle-income
employees.
These people were and are the backbone of
our nation’s economy. They drive trucks, mine
coal, haul bricks and bag groceries. Corporations
have been weaseling out of guarantees for future
retirees for years, but promises to current retirees
generally have been sacrosanct.
Most of these employees contributed what was
expected of them over their working lifetimes and
retired — or hope to — with a well-earned nest
egg.
The plans that will be affected are known as
multiemployer pension plans. They typically
involve union workers who are allowed to accrue
benefits while changing employers, with each
employer contributing to the plan.
About 1,400 such plans currently cover about 10
million workers, and most of the plans are solvent.
Between 150 and 200 of them, covering roughly
1.5 million workers, are not. They could run out
of funds within the next 20 years, according to the
Pension Rights Center.
It’s those pension plans that the legislation aims
to benefit. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.,
an agency set up 40 years ago to guarantee those
pensions, says it may run out of money to pay
them in 2018, and is certain to be broke by 2025.
Hence the emergency. While it is important to
help prevent these plans from becoming insolvent,
pension advocates say the deal Congress worked
out in haste and then attached to the $1.1 trillion
budget bill funding all of government is the wrong
way to do it.
That politicians are willing to eviscerate labor
law safeguards that have been in place since 1974
under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act, known by its acronym, ERISA, is a sign of
what little value they place on the futures of the
hard-working men and women of Main Street.
Because the plans generally benefit union members, they are not popular with congressional
Republicans. Union political influence has been
waning for years and some of the plans — such as
the Central States Teamsters fund — have a history that includes legendary levels of corruption.
Even though that was generations ago, it’s enough
to give cover to grandstanding lawmakers who
want to look like they have a legitimate reason to
vote against older, middle-class workers.
Selling out these workers is the wrong message
to send to future retirees. The baby boomers now
retiring may be the last generation of Americans
to leave work assured of adequate income in old
age. It’s not just the 1 percent who deserve security.

Cottage
From Page 1

The location was named
“Meade-Me-at-the Dam” Bed
&amp; Breakfast, with an added
“You Make Both!” to let
potential visitors know it is
not your usual Bed &amp; Breakfast. Donna points out that it
is not a bed and bathroom in
someone else’s home.
“Those renting the
cottage will find a fully
equipped kitchen, but they
will have to make their
own breakfast (and their
own bed),” Donna said.
However, she emphasizes
that guests do have the
entire cottage to themselves during their stay
with all of the amenities
both inside and out to
enjoy. Interior and exterior amenities and a list of
items that guests should
plan to bring can be found
on their website.
“My husband and I find
that we like the idea of
doing short-term rentals. It
allows us to also enjoy sitting around the fire under
the pergola and to share
the amazing view from the
upper or lower deck when
the cottage is not being occupied. The sound of the water
rolling over the dam is just
so peaceful and relaxing.”
In the living room area,
visitors will find a painting,
depicting the area when
the mill and building were
still there.
“Eleanor Davis was a
local artist, who painted
many scenes in the area
and she used to display her
paintings for sale at the
Bob Evan’s Farm Festival.
As a young girl, I had seen
a painting of the Vinton
Mill and Dam on display
there and had fallen in love
with it. Doris Harder, of
Ewington, had this same
painting and knew how
much I loved it. When she
passed away, she left the
Vinton Mill and Dam painting to me,” Donna said.
“Since then, it has always
had a prominent place in
my home, but I felt that it
somehow belonged at the
cottage when we finished
it. You can see it located
over the one-of-a-kind
horseshoe bar (made by
local woodworker and
craftsman Gary McClaskey of Vinton) in the living
room/kitchen area and
it does really look like it
belongs there. The painting was made in 1970
and shows the little white
block house (which is
now the cottage) and the
Vinton Mill (where the
pergola/fire pit area and
the lower deck are now
located) and the Vinton
Dam as it appeared then.”
It is that atmosphere,
with the upper deck
overlooking Raccoon
Creek and the lower deck
overlooking the small dam
with the remnants of the
old mill at your back that
makes Raccoon Creek
“Meade-Me-at-the-Dam”
Bed &amp; Breakfast a perfect
and relaxing getaway, of
which several patrons have
already taken advantage.
Comments from their
satisfaction surveys
include:
“Everything was perfect!”
“The location of the dam
made for a very relaxing
visit. Sitting on the porch
and listening to the water
was nice.” (Richard and
Susan Juarez, of Florida)
“It was absolutely beauti-

ful!” “The bathroom was
amazing!” “We loved the
deck and hearing the water
below.” (Honeymoon couple Stephen and Lindsey
Roderick, of Gallipolis)
“Our stay here was very
enjoyable. It allowed us to
spend time with family in a
very relaxed and wonderful
atmosphere.” (Victor and
Liz Korycki of New York)
“The extra amenities
made it very nice. The
most wonderful part is
that it is close to home,
but has the feel of a vacation (feeling of seclusion
and very picturesque).
Everything was beautiful
and the firefly display was
especially nice! WOW!”
(anniversary couple,
Christian and Stephanie
Scott, of Gallipolis)
Kevin Kelly, in his
Facebook review, said, “A

and welcoming home away
from home, it offers luxury

style. The cottage has
everything that the modern day traveler looks for
in overnight accommodations. From completely
outfitted kitchen, stocked
firepit, and locally handmade bath products. One
could begin to think that
this little cottage is a huge
treasure.”
The cottage is situated
along the 114-mile long
stream of Raccoon Creek
and it is both peaceful
and private. Guests can
explore the area by canoe,
kayak, cycling or fishing
with their own equipment.

Point rallies past Tigers, 63-60
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. —
Better late than never.
A 22-16 fourth quarter surge ultimately allowed the Point Pleasant boys
basketball team to claim a hard-fought
63-60 victory over visiting Shady
Spring Saturday night in a non-conference matchup in Mason County.
The Big Blacks (3-4) trailed 44-41
headed into the finale, but the hosts
rallied over the final eight minutes to
secure their first two-game winning
streak of the young season while also
improving to 3-1 in home contests.

allowed PPHS to overcome a twopossession deficit at the break.
The Big Blacks took a small 9-8
lead after eight minutes of play, but
the Tigers (3-3) countered with a
21-16 second quarter run to secure
a 29-25 edge at the break. Point
Pleasant followed with a small
16-15 spurt in the third canto to
close the gap down to three points
entering the fourth.
Yates was 5-of-6 at the free throw
line down the stretch for Point,
while SSHS hit only 1-of-3 charity
tosses in the fourth quarter. PPHS
also hit seven trifectas in the contest, compared to four by the guests.
Workman led the hosts with 16
points, followed by Yates with 15
and Cody Sroufe with nine markers.
Brian Gibbs was next with eight
points, while Trey Tucker and Brad-

ley Gibbs respectively chipped in
six and five markers.
Austin Liptrap contributed three
points to the winning cause and
Brandon Henderson rounded out
the scoring with one point. PPHS
was 14-of-17 at the free throw line
for 82 percent.
Tyler Bond paced Shady Spring
with a game-high 18 points, followed by Steven Chhabra with 16
points and Jon Sawyers with 12
markers. Sawyers scored nine of his
dozen points before halftime.
Josh Snyder and Nate Williams were
next with five and four points, while
Keith Sexton and Joe Keller respectively rounded things out with three

Blue Devils win Coaches Corner Classic
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

CENTENARY, Ohio — Three
out of five isn’t too shabby either.
Host Gallia Academy picked up
its third team championship in
four years Saturday during the fifth
annual Coaches Corner Classic
wrestling tournament held on the
campus of GAHS in Gallia County.
The Blue Devils avenged last
year’s three-point loss to Vinton
County by earning eight top-two
efforts on their way to 72-point victory over the 17-team field — the
largest number of schools in the
event’s brief history.
Gallia Academy — which led the
2014 tournament with four individual champions — posted a team
tally of 349.5 points, followed by
the runner-up Vikings with 277.5
points. Caldwell (258.5), Zane
Trace (191.5) and Warren (190.0)
rounded out the top-five efforts,
while River Valley (145.0) and
Meigs (82.0) respectively placed
ninth and 14th overall.
Jared Stevens (106), Caleb
Greenlee (113), Kyle Greenlee
(120) and Cole Tawney (126) each
went unbeaten while claiming their
respective weight class titles for
the hosts. Tawney also scored his
150th career win and 100th career
pin during a match with Travis
Smith earlier in the day.
Those four champions allowed
GAHS to finish one crown ahead of
Warren, which earned three individual titles at the event. Meigs,
Caldwell, Bishop Fenwick, Unioto,
Jackson, Marietta and VCHS also
scored a champion apiece in the
different weight classes.
The Blue Devils also had four
top-four efforts at the event, all of
which led to runner-up finishes.
Kaleb Crisenberry (145), Hunter
Jacks (160), Ryan Terry (170) and
Justin Reynolds (182) each came

away with second place in their
respective divisions.
Daylen Neece earned the
Marauders’ lone crown by going
unbeaten in the 220-pound weight
class. Trae Hood also scored fourth
place for MHS in the 195 division.
RVHS was led by Brandon Cornell, who finished second overall
in the 152-pound weight class. Jeremiah Dobbins was also fourth for
the Raiders at 126 pounds.
The 72-point margin of victory

by Gallia Academy was the second
largest in the history of the Coaches Corner Classic. GAHS posted
an 84-point triumph in 2011 and
also earned a 47-point win in 2012.
Logan won the inaugural tournament in 2010 by 39 points.

How and why the Verta Loc works so well
The spine is a complex machine with 30
small bones and miles of nerves and even the
smallest of problems can cause intense pain.
Millions of seniors suffer from herniated
discs, degenerative discs, sciatica, osteoarthritis and chronic lower back pain.
The Verta Loc is manufactured to provide
firm, even pressure and
direct support to the
lower back. It also helps
prevent painful unintentional movements,
and helps the discs absorb shock so your back
works the way it was
originally designed.
Best of all, the Verta
Loc is simple to put
on and take off and extremely comfortable to
wear.
Your Verta Loc will be shipped straight to
your home
To keep costs down and to streamline and
speed up the Medicare qualification process,
you can get your Verta Loc Back Brace with a
simple and free phone call to The Back Pain
Resource Center. Upon approval of your order, your Verta Loc
will be shipped directly to your home by
well-known distributor One Source Medical Supply.

by Medicare and private insurance for all qualifying seniors.
The specialists at The Back Pain
Resource Center are only on call

no cost.
