The Southeastern Ohio Tourism and Business Expo County Tourism Convention in March at the University of Rio Grande was canceled due to the the Gallipolis Visitor center receiving too few registrations for the event. The same day that the local expo was to be scheduled, the Heartland expo was taking place in Tennessee. The Heartland expo is a large event that many of the visitor bureaus were going to attend instead. “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have the high numbers of exhibitors register like we have had in the past and instead of moving forward with the event we decided to push it to next year,” Assistant Director of the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau (GCCVB) Kaitlynn Halley said. “We wanted to look out for the community and the exhibitors that did register and decided that we did not want the people that did register for the expo to feel as if their time was being wasted.” The GCCVB has many projects on the way and is now preparing for an event in downtown Columbus at Trump takes charge, oath “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have the high numbers of exhibitors register like we have had in the past and instead of moving forward with the event we decided to push it to next year.” — Kaitlynn Halley, Assistant Director of the GCCVB the Greater Convention Center - the AAA Great Vacation Travel Convention.

Trump’s victory gives GOP control of both the White House and Congress By Julie Pace AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON — Pledging emphatically to empower America’s “forgotten men and women,” Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States Friday, taking command of a riven nation facing an unpredictable era under his assertive but untested leadership. Under cloudy, threat- ening skies at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, Trump painted a bleak picture of the America he now leads, declaring as he had throughout the election campaign that it is beset by crime, poverty and a lack of bold action.

Bush waves as he arrives at NRG Stadium before the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball semifinal game between Villanova and Oklahoma in Houston. Houston-area media are quoting former President George H.W. Bush's chief of staff as saying that Bush has been hospitalized in Houston. George H.W. Bush, wife remain hospitalized HOUSTON (AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, remained hospitalized in Houston on Friday, a family spokesman said. The 92-year-old former president is being treated for breathing difficulties stemming from pneumonia. He was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital last weekend for shortness of breath but was later moved to intensive care when physicians put in a breathing tube. He remained in intensive care on Friday, family spokesman Jim McGrath said. No other updates were immediately available, but McGrath said on Thursday that he was hopeful the nation’s 41st president could be discharged from the ICU in a few days. McGrath said former first lady Barbara Bush also remained hospitalized on Friday, after spending her second night at the hospital. The 91-yearold checked into the same hospital on Wednesday for treatment of bronchitis. She reported feeling much better on Thursday after receiving medication and rest. George H.W. Bush was hospitalized on Saturday and has been in the intensive care unit since Wednesday, relying on a ventilator to breathe. Removing the tube — a procedure known as extubation — would allow Bush to breathe on his own. He was struggling to breathe when he was admitted to the hospital Saturday. The couple received “an uplifting visit” from longtime friends former Secretary of State James Baker and his wife, Susan, who also live in Houston, McGrath said. President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama have sent their well wishes, via Twitter and a news conference, respectively. Former President Bill Clinton also tweeted: “41 and Barbara — thinking about you both and sending wishes for a speedy recovery. Love, 42.” Trump From page 1A divisiveness of last year’s campaign and the unpopularity of the incoming president compared to modern predecessors. Demonstrations unfolded at various security checkpoints near the Capitol as police helped ticket-holders get through. After the swearing-in, more protesters registered their rage in the streets of Washington. Police in riot gear deployed pepper spray and made numerous arrests after protesters smashed the windows of downtown businesses, denouncing capitalism and the new president. At least one vehicle was set afire. Short and pointed, Trump’s 16-minute address in the heart of Washington was a blistering rebuke of many who listened from privileged seats only feet away. Surrounded by men and women who have long filled the government’s corridors of power, the new president said that for too long, “a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” His predecessor, President Barack Obama, sat stoically as Trump pledged to push the country in a dramatically different direction. Trump’s victory gives Republicans control of both the White House and Congress — and all but ensures conservatives can quickly pick up a seat on the closely divided Supreme Court. Despite entering a time of Republican dominance, Trump made little mention of the party’s bedrock principles: small government, social conservativism and robust American leadership around the world. He left no doubt he considers himself the product of a movement — not a party. Trump declared his moment Patrick Semansky | AP Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States by Chief Justice John Roberts as Melania Trump and his family looks on during the 58th Presidential Inauguration at the U.S. Capitol in Washington Friday. a fulfillment of his campaign pledge to take a sledgehammer to Washington’s traditional ways, and he spoke directly to the alienated and disaffected. “What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people,” he said. “To all Americans in every city near and far, small and large from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again.” But the speech offered scant outreach to the millions who did not line up behind his candidacy. Trump’s call for restrictive immigration measures, religious screening of immigrants and his caustic campaign rhetoric about women and minorities angered millions. He did not directly address that opposition, instead offering a call to “speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.” While Trump did not detail policy proposals Friday, he did set a high bar for his presidency. The speech was full of the onetime showman’s lofty promises to bring back jobs, “completely” eradicate Islamic terrorism, and build new roads, bridges and airports. Despite Trump’s ominous portrait of America, he is taking the helm of a growing economy. Jobs have increased for a record 75 straight months, and the unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in December, close to a 9-year low. Yet Trump’s victory underscored that for many Americans, the recovery from the Great Recession has come slowly or not at all. His campaign tapped into seething anger in working class communities, particularly in the Midwest, that have watched factories shuttered and the certainty of a middle class life wiped away. Trump’s journey to the inauguration was as unlikely as any in recent U.S. history. He defied his party’s establishment and befuddled the news media. He used social media to dominate the national conversation and challenge conventions about political discourse. After years of Democratic control of the White House and deadlock in Washington, his was a blast of fresh air for millions. At 70, Trump is the oldest person to be sworn in as president, marking a generational step backward after two terms for Obama, one of the youngest presidents to serve as commander in chief. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, January 22, 2017 3A 60700595 �LOCAL 4A Sunday, January 22, 2017 Sunday Times-Sentinel GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS Editor’s Note: The Meigs and Gallia Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

Marchi had said the society previously was handing a little under 10 electric bills in its previous location as the building was built to hold several businesses. With few other rooms of the building being made use of by other organizations, the costs of heating and maintenance fell to the society. “The bills were just outrageous,” said Marchi. “We purchased that building in 2000.

Within a 24-hour period on Jan. 17, sheriff’s deputies mounted a raid on an alleged trafficking site, and then on a suspected meth lab. These incidents, along with two earlier searches at different locations, have occurred nearly Kevin three weeks since Champlin took Kelly office. Such action, resulting in Contributing arrests and seizure of drugs and columnist cash, is welcome news to a public that has become well aware of the influence and impact of drug addiction within its walls, and the level of crime it inspires. The moves go a long way toward making the community feel safer, in addition to getting illegal drugs and profits out of the wrong hands. Yet to those citizens who regularly see what addiction does to someone they know and care about, the raids conducted by the new sheriff, as well as those conducted by his predecessors and the joint drug task force serving the area, are an all-too-familiar result of an ongoing social problem. It’s also eye-opening “Removing the evidence to the product fueling amount of illegal addiction is one activity there thing, but salvaging appears to be in our someone from an midst. Okay, this overpowering need is may be not news to another matter that many of you, but the swift response of communities must local authorities is a address.” result of the public’s growing desire to take hold of this problem and make it significantly less the risk to life and property that it has become. Arrest and prosecution are a big part of the solution. Eradicating the drug problem in the tricounty area is no easy task for police and prosecutors given the resources at hand. The job they do to make drugs less accessible is time-consuming at best and dangerous at its worst when coping with criminals, some of whom are well-organized, armed and financed traffickers from Detroit and elsewhere. Therefore, public support of local efforts to drive away this element is vital by providing officers with as much useful information as possible on their activities. Requests for such tips from Champlin and other police agencies isn’t just a piece of boilerplate in the news releases they issue. They need your help desperately. But just as desperate are the victims of addiction seeking to escape its bondage. Without being too platitudinous, those willing to shrug off their habit for good must have the faith, inner strength and support of other folks that are a part of reaching the goal of clean living. Minimizing the depressing effects of factors leading to addiction — insecurity, loneliness, unemployment, hopelessness — are also key to recovery. This is where the work of therapists, counselors and mental health professionals are critical. These resources are in place locally and nearby, work well and are busy with court referrals. But what happens after treatment is over makes all the more necessary a halfway house, a residential center for recovering addicts to transition back into society free of drugs and chemical dependency. Such an idea was proposed for Gallipolis in 2003 but didn’t take off, even as awareness grew of painkiller addiction and how widespread it had become in Appalachia. Around the same time, a quick series of armed robberies in and around Gallipolis were the result of suspected opiate abuse. Passage of time and a higher crime rate attributable to the grip of addiction may prompt some reassessment of this proposal if the community’s desire to squelch drug usage and its effects is as great as it appears. Removing the product fueling addiction is one thing, but salvaging someone from an overpowering need is another matter that communities must address. It all takes money, of course, and lack of same on the local level makes it incumbent on our legislators and budget experts to find the resources to help treat addicts as well as put away the criminals. Breaking up drug operations is a message voters sent to leadership a few months ago and locally, we’re now seeing an answer to that concern. But we also have to think about addiction’s victims and what can be done to make their recovery a permanent condition.

THEIR VIEW Others should follow example The writing on the wall couldn’t have been clearer: protests outside every venue, empty seats inside and a seismic shift in the public’s attitude toward keeping animals in captivity and beating them until they perform. After years of stonewalling, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus finally acknowledged the message. A blatant animal exploiter since its inception almost 150 years ago, it announced this month that it’s going dark in May. For the animals in the circus, the final show can’t come soon enough. But if Ringling — whose trainers kept elephants in chains and beat them with bullhooks (heavy batons with a sharp steel hook on one end) and will keep whipping lions and tigers until the curtain falls — can acknowledge that the days of abusing animals are coming to an end, how long will it be before other circuses follow suit?

BIDWELL, Ohio — Bryan Drummond, during his postgame media interview following Friday night’s game, not only smiled — but knocked his fist on the wooden frame of his basketball office desk. “The guys (players) were trying to tell me to smile more in the locker-room,” said Drummond, the first-year River Valley boys basketball coach. But, Drummond indeed had to be happy about arguably the Raiders’ most complete performance of this season. That’s because host River Valley, in leading for the game’s final 25 minutes and 53 seconds, crafted a 64-38 blowout of the Nelsonville-York Buckeyes — in Friday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division tilt.

Meigs blasts Rockets, 76-44 All 11 Marauders score in TVC Ohio win By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — All 11 played … and all 11 scored. The Meigs boys basketball team had each of its 11 players reach the scoring column on Friday night in Meigs County as the Marauders rolled to a 76-44 victory over TriValley Conference Ohio Division guest Wellston. The Marauders (9-6, 4-1) — who never trailed in the game — led 16-to-12, eight minutes into play. Both offense picked up in the second stanza, as Meigs outscored the Golden Rockets (3-10, 1-5) by a 25-21 count, to make the MHS lead 41-33 at halftime. Meigs began the second half with an 8-0 run, pushing the advantage to 49-33. Wellston claimed five of the next seven points, but went scoreless for the rest of the third, as the Marauders pushed their lead to 62-38. The Marauder defense forced 12 turnovers and held WHS to just six points in the finale, and the Maroon and Gold cruised to a 76-44 victory. “It was a terrific team effort,” MHS head coach Ed Fry said. “(Wellston) really hurt us inside early, we adjusted our defense in the second half and I think that was a big part of us spurting out. The kids inside for them played really hard.” This was the Marauders’ first game at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium since December 20. “It’s good to be back,” Coach Fry said. “We had eight straight away games, the kids went 6-2, and the two were very hard-fought losses. That’s a good testimony to their resiliency. Down the stretch, fresh legs are important, so we’re giving a day off here-and-there and I think that really helped us tonight.” For the game, Meigs claimed a 35-to-33 rebounding advantage, with a 14-to-9 edge on the offensive glass. Wellston committed 30 turnovers in the setback, while Meigs gave the ball away 14 times. Meigs also held advantages in assists (18-to-12), steals (19to-8) and blocked shots (5-to-4). The Maroon and Gold were 28-of-70 (40 “It was a terrific team effort.(Wellston) really hurt us inside early, we adjusted our defense in the second half and I think that was a big part of us spurting out.

Meigs made 9-of-13 (69.2 percent) free throw attempts, while WHS was 2-of-5 (40 percent) from the line. The MHS offense was led by Christian Mattox, who sank five threepointers en route to 22 points.

We didn’t play well defensively either. We missed a lot of rebounds we should have had. It was an overall off night for us.” But, credit some of those Wildcat struggles for Wahama “playing better defense”. “We’re playing better defense. With that ‘diamond’ defense, we’re taking their best player and denying her the ball and the other four kids are in a diamond,” said Arnott. The White Falcons finished with a 14-5 edge in total field goals, as VanMatre scored six field goals and sank two free throws for 14 points. Rose recorded a dozen markers on five field goals, as Nena Hunt with two buckets and Gracie VanMeter with a thirdquarter free throw rounded out the Wahama scoring.

Hindered by scoring in single digits, including only five points apiece in three of the four quarters, host South Gallia lost to the Belpre Golden Eagles 42-19 on Thursday night in a girls basketball bout. Belpre outscored South Gallia 13-5 in the opening period, then amounted an 11-4 second-stanza advantage to lead 24-9 at halftime. Both teams tied 5-5 in the third frame, before the Golden Eagles got rolling again with another 13-5 output. With the loss, the Lady Rebels — playing their first tilt since Saturday’s (Jan. 14) 68-62 doubleovertime epic against River Valley, fell to 3-10. South Gallia, in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division, is now 1-9. Belpre, which defeated River Valley on Monday night in non-league, raised its record to 12-4 — and 9-2 in the league. For the Lady Rebels, Erin Evans landed a threepoint goal in the first quarter — to go along with a free throw apiece by Kiley Stapleton and Amaya Howell. Stapleton and Christine Griffith then scored single baskets in the second stanza. Griffith and Olivia Hornsby had buckets in the third frame —along with a free throw from Aaliyah Howell. Griffith then scored a field goal in the fourth quarter, as Amaya Howell made 3-of-4 foul shots. Cheyenne Barker, on six total field goals and 4-of-6 free throws, led the Lady Eagles and all scorers with 14 points. She sank two of the club’s four threes — with the other two triples by Trinidy King and Kyanna Ray.

That’s because visiting River Valley shot three times as fewer foul shots than did the Wellston Lady Rockets, as the Raiders suffered a 46-44 loss on Thursday night in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division girls basketball tilt. The Raiders raced out to a 15-8 advantage after the opening quarter, but the Golden Rockets returned the favor in the second period —winning the canto 15-7. Both teams tied the third frame at 13-13, while Wellston clipped the Raiders 10-9 in the final stanza to gain the season split. River Valley, in fact, won by a two-point 42-40 count on the Raiders’ home court on Dec. 8. While both clubs connected for 15 total field goals, including a 5-1 edge in three-pointers for the Raiders, the Golden Rockets amassed 31 free throws — compared to only 10 for River Valley. Wellston only made half of those freebies, but did mesh five more than the Raiders even attempted. The Silver and Black was whistled for 23 fouls, while only 14 were called against the hosts. Both squads struggled shooting and with turnovers — as River Valley was 15-of-58 (26-percent), while Wellston was 15-of-45 (33-percent).

Ironladies outlast Meigs, 48-43 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Lady Marauders simply went cold at the worst possible time. After shooting over 50 percent in the third quarter, the Meigs girls basketball team went just 1-of-11 from the field in final eight minutes, allowing non-conference guest Jackson to escape Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium with a 48-43 victory, on Thursday night. Jackson (8-8) never trailed in the first half, leading 12-4 at the end of the first quarter and 22-15 by the half. Meigs (6-7) —which hit 9-of-17 field goals in the third quarter — took its first lead of the game at 32-31, with 2:23 left in the third. Jackson tied the game at 32, but MHS ended the quarter with a 5-to-3 run and a 37-35 lead. The Lady Marauders pushed the lead to 39-35 with a pair of free throws, early in the fourth, but Jackson fought back to take a 40-39 lead, with 3:58 to play. The Ironladies led the rest of the way, using an 8-4 run to cap off the 48-43 win. “The fourth quarter has to be the money time, and unfortunately for us, we’re still not there yet,” first-year MHS head coach Jarrod Kasun Said. “We have to learn how to win close games like that. Give Jackson credit, (Rebekah) Green played well. We’ll just come out next time and try to do better.” JHS held a 38-25 rebounding advantage, including 10-to-5 on the offensive boards. The Lady Marauders committed 11 turnovers in the setback, while Jackson gave the ball away 15 times. Meigs also held a 13-to-5 assists advantage and a 9-to-8 edge in steals, but JHS blocked four shots, three more than MHS. For the game, the Lady Marauders shot 16-of-52 (30.8 percent), including 6-of-20 (30 percent). Meanwhile, Jackson was 12-of38 (31.6 percent) from the field, including 1-of-9 (11.1 percent). Meigs made 5-of-11 (45.5 percent) free throws, while Jackson was 23-of-36 (63.9 percent) from the line. The Ironladies made 14 of their first 15 free throw tries. “When you move the ball and our offense is moving fluidly, then you can make shots,” Coach Kasun said of his team’s third quarter. “We were hitting open people, we were confident with our shots, and when you’re confident the ball goes in. “We played well in stretches today,” Coach Kasun added. “You can’t come out in the first quarter and play the way we did, and you can’t end the way we did, and expect to win. Our girls didn’t quit and that’s all I can ask of them.” The Lady Marauders were led by sophomore Marissa Noble with 12 points, all of which came in the second half. Kassidy Betzing scored 11 points and dished out six assists, while Madison Hendricks chipped in with seven points. Madison Fields marked five points and five rebounds in the setback, while Devin Humphreys and Danielle Morris both scored four points, with Humphreys pulling in a teambest six rebounds. Fields led the MHS defense with four steals, while Betzing posted the lone blocked shot for the Maroon and Gold. JHS junior Rebekah Green led the victors with 28 points, on five field goals and an 18-of-22 performance from the free throw line. Green finished with a doubledouble, pulling in 11 rebounds, to go with team-highs of three assists and three steals. Deb Hill posted eight points and 13 rebounds for the Red and White, Amelia Davis added six points, while Emily Brown, Mariah Ridgeway and Olivia Carroll each chipped in with two points, with Carroll recording a game-best three rejections. Meigs will resume Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division play on Monday, when they visit Nelsonville-York. In total, MHS has four games scheduled next week, with three games in league play.

The Hannan boys basketball team had four players reach double digits and all 10 roster members reached the scoring column Thursday night during a 100-52 triumph over visiting Elk Valley Christian in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The Wildcats (4-8) snapped a two-game losing skid in style as the hosts scored at least 20 points in each quarter and had three players contribute at least 20 points apiece during the wire-to-wire victory. HHS — which hit 10 trifectas and made 37 total field goals — hurried out to a slim 20-14 edge after eight minutes of play, but Malachi Cade netted 10 of his 18 first half points during a 26-9 second quarter surge that resulted in a comfortable 46-23 cushion at the break. The Eagles were never closer the rest of the way as the Blue and White received 11 points from Dalton Coleman during a 26-14 third period surge that resulted in a 72-37 advantage headed into the finale. Justis Powers Cupp and Luke Tilka drilled back-to-back trifectas at the 3:31 mark of the fourth, completing a 13-5 run that resulted in an 85-42 edge. The Wildcats took their first 50-point lead at 97-46 as Logan Nibert converted a layup with 37 seconds left. Coleman nailed a topof-the-key three-pointer 20 seconds later that pushed the hosts over the century mark with a 100-49 edge. Hunter O’Connor drilled a threepointer with six seconds left in regulation to wrap up the 48-point outcome. After losing two players from the varsity roster earlier in the week, Hannan rebounded nicely to the adversity — particularly in the fact that two bench players scored the first points of their career. Given the situation, fourth-year HHS coach Ross Thornton couldn’t have been more thrilled with his squad’s performance as the Wildcats picked up their first season sweep of the winter. The Blue and White also claimed a much tougher 82-78 win at EVCS back on December 10. “We have to take this one in a certain context.

I’m proud of the guys, but we still have a lot of work to do.” The Wildcats — who have now won six consecutive decisions over the Eagles — scored the most points for a Thornton-led team since Hannan defeated visiting Hundred 90-70 back on February 8, 2014. Cade led the hosts with a gamehigh 27 points, followed by Coleman with 24 points and Corey Wellston’s only triple. The Blue and Gold attempted 11 treys. River Valley was guilty of 23 turnovers, compared to 20 for the Rockets.

No details for the football state championship games after 2018 have been finalized, but the OHSAA intends to return to Ohio Stadium in Columbus for the 2019 state championship games. OHSAA Baseball Pitch Count Regulation approved COLUMBUS, Ohio – Details for a nationallymandated pitch count restriction in high school baseball were approved Thursday by the Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors at its January meeting. Last year, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) informed all states that they were required to have a pitch count limit instead of a regulation based on innings pitched over a certain number of days. Previously in Ohio high school baseball, a pitcher could pitch up to 10 innings in a three-day span. Each state was tasked with determining its own regulation. The new OHSAA pitch count regulation calls for a maximum of 125 pitches permitted in a day, and contains several other details such as the number of days required between pitching appearances based on the number of pitches thrown. The regulation approved Thursday replaces OHSAA baseball regulation 1.7, which was approved last year and indicated that details for the pitch count regulation would be finalized in January. If a pitcher throws 30-or-less pitches in a day, they require zero days rest and are eligible to pitch later in another game on the same day. Rest required for 31-to-50 pitches in a day is one day, from 51-to-75 pitches is two days and from 76-to125 pitches is three days. If a pitcher throws at least 31 pitches in a game, he may not pitch in another game that day. If the daily pitch count is reached during an at bat, a pitcher may exceed the pitch count only to finish pitching to the current batter. At the end of each contest, coaches must submit pitcher data to a designated data collection system. Schools are required to keep pitch count data on all pitchers and make the data available to the OHSAA upon request. A team shall forfeit any victorious contest in which a player violates the pitch count regulation. All pitches thrown during a game that becomes suspended or interrupted — due to weather or darkness, for example — shall count toward the pitch count regulation. All pitches thrown in a scrimmage or preview shall count toward the pitch count regulation. �Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, January 22, 2017 5B Notices Rentals Miscellaneous Want To Buy NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

(AP) — Any coaches wanting to follow Jim Harbaugh’s lead and take a team off-campus just for practice to build their brand name and boost recruiting likely have missed that opportunity. The Power Five conferences voted Friday to stop coaches from taking teams off-campus during any vacation period outside a sport’s season for practice, a rule proposed after Harbaugh took his Michigan Wolverines to Florida last year. The rule passed by a 58-22 margin at the Power Five conferences’ third autonomy session at the NCAA convention and will take effect Aug. 1. The Big Ten voted 11-3 for the change. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel opposed the proposal before the vote and said he wasn’t surprised by the result. He also noted that the 15 student-athlete representatives from the Power 5 schools voted 11-4 against the rule change. “The voice of the students I think spoke clearly that they would enjoy the opportunity to experience and be able to train off campus during their breaks,” Manuel said. Manuel said Michigan had been waiting for this vote before deciding whether to hold an off- campus practice during spring break for a second straight year. Harbaugh did not immediately return messages left by The Associated Press. Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey also spoke for the rule change and noted the Pac-12 sponsored the proposal. The SEC voted 13-1 for the rule. Sankey said he was influenced by this group’s meeting last year where student-athletes asked officials to stop grabbing more time from them. He said allowing breaks to be used for practice seemed to be the wrong direction. “It’s as fundamental as that,” Sankey said. “It wasn’t about one institution. It wasn’t about some regional protection effort. It was very simply if we’re going to sit here and talk about trying to be attentive to the time expectations and managing those appropriately for studentathletes. We have to look at that type of out of season, off-campus, take a trip practice.” Asked why student-athletes vote against the proposal, Sankey said there was some miscommunication that all offcampus trips would be affected. Sankey said Vanderbilt recently took student-athletes to the National Museum of AfricanAmerican History and Culture, while the Ole Miss football team went to Haiti last year. Basketball teams regularly travel to Europe for exhibition games during the summer. “What we’re not causing to happen during those experiences is to put pads and a helmet on and go through a football practice to enjoy them,” Sankey said. The Power 5 conferences also approved other rule changes, including rules giving studentathletes time off to rest. They agreed to give students at least seven straight days off once their seasons end, at least 14 days free from athletic activities during the academic year and guaranteed eight hours of free time between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., which all passed unanimously. Students also get at least one day a week with no sports during the season. Previously, teams could use travel days to count as a day off with this change better protecting against travel days or other issues. Coaches and athletic directors also will have to develop time management plans with students given notice on scheduled activities, including any changes.

Beth Sergent | Register Local, living history 98-year old woman keeps store and history alive in West Columbia, W.Va. By Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com WEST COLUMBIA, W.Va. — “What would I do?” This was the answer 98-year old Josephine Kirby gave when asked “Why don’t you retire?” Kirby has been working at her family’s business, Fowler’s Grocery Store, in West Columbia, W.Va. her entire life and that business has been there for over 100 years, though it used to be on the “old road.” For those who don’t know “the old road” it was the former path of W.Va. 62 which used to sit closer to the Ohio River. Kirby tells the story of how the business was literally moved (building and all) in the 1940’s to follow the new path of W.Va. 62. In order to move Fowler’s Grocery Store, it had to cross the railroad tracks, with the family being threatened to be charged $100 per minute if it held up a train. Kirby laughs when saying they had just got it across the tracks when a train came through that day. Many days since, Fowler’s Grocery Store has sat in its spot, wedged between Tin Can Hollow Road and Lieving Road, selling everything from toilet paper to Reese’s Cups. Years ago, the store was also home to the West Columbia Post Office, where Kirby’s mother, May Fowler was the postmaster. Eventually, the need for more room would cause the post office to move out of the corner of the store to its own location. Kirby said her family came to West Columbia to be by “the road” and though “the road” still goes through West Columbia, times have changed. “This was a thriving town at one time…the population was over 3,000…I have the history,” Kirby said, explaining it was called the “best town” from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh in one of her history books. She remembers being young and walking to nearby Lakin, W.Va. to see variety shows put on by young men at the “Lakin Industrial School” and she recalled “boy, they put on good ones, too,” she said. She recalled those performances being a big community event and like most events, big or small, you walked to everything back then, including to school. “This was a thriving town at one time… the population was over 3,000…I have the history.” — Josephine Kirby Kirby is herself a graduate of Wahama High School. Kirby seems to be both a businesswoman and the keeper of the history of West Columbia, talking about another bygone era when the town was home to a mansion called “King’s Hill” owned then by a wealthy man from Pittsburgh. The home could be accessed by going up Tin Can Hollow Road. She said the man had a vineyard and inside a “big dance floor.” “People from New York, Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania, all came here in the summer for vacation,” she said, demonstrating that even the smallest of towns can have a big history, especially when there’s someone around like Kirby to keep it alive. Of course, just as the mansion and industrial school demonstrate, change comes to everything. She said customers used to be lined up in the mornings outside her grocery store, causing her family to open by 6 a.m. and the shelves were full, including a full meat case with people from Point Pleasant, W.Va. and New Haven, W.Va., driving to buy merchandise. The way people shop and where they shop can be fickle. Kirby talked about a conversation she had with her late sister concerning that very subject and the store that has become intertwined with her life. “I was complaining about business falling off..of course it would, because there’s a Walmart right up the road here, and she said, ‘Josephine, don’t quit, because if you do, what would you do? You’d go in the house and die. You don’t like to go no place and you don’t travel… have it for friendship.’ And that’s about all it is,” Kirby said, summing up the fellowship her store now brings to her, simply by keeping it open. Having a small town grocery store will likely not result in someone getting rich these days, WHERE IS FOWLER’S GROCERY STORE? Fowler’s Grocery Story is located along W.Va. 62, just south of Mason City and north of Point Pleasant in West Columbia, W.Va. The store sits between Tin Can Hollow Road and Lieving Road, south of the post office. It’s open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Saturday. Closed on Sunday. s�$2/�C/+<��9=/:238/��3<,C�A+=�,9<8P'99.<9A�'36=98� was president s��9=-9A�,/-+7/�>2/�-+:3>+6�90�"?==3+ s��<73=>3-/�=318/.M�/8.381�''�� s��366C��<+2+7�+8.��/6=98��+8./6+�,9<8 s�a$2/�"/.��+<98b�3=�=29>�.9A8�+8.�5366/. s�"/.�#9B�./0/+>�>2/��?,=�38�'9<6.�#/<3/= s��6��+:98/�1/>=�7+<<3/. s�%#��981</==�+::<9@/=��+C6312>�#+@381=�$37/ financially, but it makes Kirby rich in other ways. Her store is also practical for those in her community and it has anything someone could need to survive if they didn’t feel like driving out of West Columbia to get it. When asked if she has any favorite customers, she said: “I like them all. I love everybody and you know, I tell them I do.” Kirby greets her customers with a smile and a sincere disposition and says the “help of the Lord” keeps her going and “well, we (she and the Lord) just talk.” “I don’t know what I’d do without Him,” she continued. “When I go to bed, I say, Lord, help remind me what I done wrong today and He’ll tell me and (I realized) I owed a penny to a boy that lives on the old road. Next morning (I gave it back to him) and he said, ‘what’s this for?’ And I said, I owe it to you. I don’t want Saint Peter to say ‘oh no, we don’t want you to come in today because you owe somebody.’” Given her honesty regarding paying back the penny she owed, there’s no reason to doubt her when she says she reads her Bible every night, with her favorite passage being John 3:16. With “the Lord” and her customers who bring the world to her, Kirby seems to have what she needs. “I like to work” she said, even as she was using a cane to walk due to a hip replacement. “What do they (people who don’t work) do with their lives?” She wondered. That is something she has never had to know. Fowler’s Grocery Store is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Saturday. Closed on Sunday.

According to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Save Our Sight Program, “Up to 15 percent of preschool children have an eye or vision condition that, if not corrected, can result in reduced vision. Twenty-five percent of school-aged children have a vision Meigs problem, and up to Health 5 percent of children Matters have amblyopia (lazy Leanne eye).” Cunningham According to Prevent Blindness Ohio (PBO), nearly two million Ohioans are facing visual impairment and blindness in the 40+ population. Prevent Blindness Ohio’s motto is “You Only Get One Pair and No Spare.” This is very fitting because many vision problems and eye diseases are not reversible. The Meigs County Health Department (MCHD) has programs that help residents to access vision concerns. Probably the most utilized program is made possible by the agency Prevent Blindness Ohio (PBO). This program is for both children and adults and is income-based. Financial guidelines are at 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level for family size compared to yearly income: 1 = $23,760; 2 = $32,040; 3 = $40,320; 4 = $48,600; 5 = $56,880; 6 = LOOKING FOR VISION HELP?

(U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Federal Register, 1/28/16). This program helps residents with eye exams and glasses. Local eye doctors contract with PBO to provide these free exams and PBOapproved glasses. I would like to share a local success story written by Linda and George Kent after they received services through this program. “My husband and I needed our eyes examined, but didn’t know how. I saw a piece in the paper about helping people in need. I call the Health Department and talked to Leanne Cunningham. She got us appointments with Dr. Melanie Weese in Racine on May 13, 2016. Dr. Weese found that my husband had cataracts in both eyes. She sent us to Dr. Danielle Ortman in Athens Eye Physicians and Surgeons of Athens, Inc. She operated on both eyes. She said they were bad. He would’ve been blind in three months or so. We are so grateful for all everyone has done for us. You need your eyes. Thank you so much for all you have done. We had no other way to get our eyes done. Leanne made the eye doctors appointments for us. We got right in. She is a caring and passionate person in helping others. We are seniors.” The MCHD also has two other programs to assist with vision concerns. One program is for children and is funded through the Ohio Department of Health, which helps with transportation to/from vision appointments. Funding for this program is limited, so the service is first come, first serve. The final program we host is Children with Medical Handicaps, formerly BCMH. Also income-based, this program will help diagnose and treat certain eye problems. For more information on CMH, call Angie Rosler, RN at 740-992-6626.

The detritus of our daily lives — plastic, glass, metal and paper — makes its weekly trek to processing plants across the country. Much of it gets made into new versions of itself: Your empty corn tin might end up as your next bean can. Smelting brings glass jars back to life. Newsprint and wrapping come out of a pulpy stew as new paper. And the home decor industry, too, is finding inspiration for new furnishings in the recycling boom. Large furniture companies and smaller studios are either repurposing their own production waste, or sourcing discards and leftover materials to make new goods. It’s a smart way to offer sustainably produced products, encourage design R&D, and perhaps cut industrial disposal costs. Plastics are a significant part of this initiative. Ikea product developer Anna Granath, collaborating with the Stockholm, Sweden-based studio Form Us With Love, came up with a new covering material for a kitchen cabinet door made from processed plastic bottles, and the door itself is made of recycled, shredded wood. A rich matte, charcoal-hued finish belies the modest price of the Kungsbacka cabinetry. “Sustainability should be for many people, not just for those who can afford it,” says Granath. “Our ambition is to increase the share of recycled materials in our products.” Even the leftover plastic film used to wrap furniture palettes is ground into pellets, to make the Skrutt desk pad. Glass scraps and rejected pieces from one of Ikea’s suppliers are recycled into marbled vases. Created by Iina Vuorivirta, they’re part of Ikea’s PS 2017 accessories line. (www.ikea.com ) Emeco, a furniture maker in Hanover, Pennsylvania, teamed with designer Philippe Starck on the Broom chair, a sleek, comfortable stacking chair that’s made of 75 percent waste polypropylene and 15 percent reclaimed wood fiber. The name is a play on the chair’s origins. “Imagine”, says Starck, “a guy who takes a humble broom and starts to clean the workshop, and with this dust he makes new magic.” Emeco isn’t new to the recycled material/new furniture game. Their aluminum Navy chair, commissioned during World War II, has been made of recycled aluminum since the 1940s. The material withstood the rigors of warfare and sea air. The company has even collaborated with Coca-Cola to turn soda bottles into plastic versions of the chair. (www.emeco.net ) Ikea is premiering its own plastic and wood-fiber chair early this year. The Odger will come in a range of colors and wood finishes. Dutch designer Dirk Vander Kooij makes his Melting Pot dining tables out of discarded plastic toys, videotapes and computer parts. The heated components meld into abstract patterns, with no two tables being the same. Vander Kooij also recycles his test pieces and waste plastics, extruding them into new chairs, cabinetry and even music speakers, using an enormous industrial robot arm. He created the arm himself, and won the Dutch Design Award for it in 2011. Vander Kooij thinks we have a misplaced notion that plastics are only cheap and throwaway. In fact, transforming them can create new and enduring designs: “Recycled material is unique, and has a history that can literally be seen in the product,” he says. “That gives particular beauty and layering.” (www. dirkvanderkooij.com ) Another Netherlands-based designer, Tamara Orjola, found new life for discards from the timber industry. “There’s more to the tree than just wood; pine needles account for 20 to 30 percent of its mass,” she says. So she came up with the idea of cooking the needles into a material she calls “forest wool,” which can be made into biodegradable textiles and furniture.
