Basketball League Buys Former Middle School
By Wayne Allen
Common Staff Writer
Thanks to a donation
from Maycel Clark the West
Portsmouth Youth Basketball Association was able to
purchase the former Washington-Nile Middle School,
13th street in West Portsmouth, and turn it into the
West Portsmouth Youth
Sports Complex.
“In 2007 we started the
Basketball Association, to
create a traveling basketball
team. We created the association so we could raise
money, to help offset the
cost so kids could travel and
play basketball throughout
the tri-state.” said Scott Davis, President of the West
Portsmouth Youth Basketball Association. “For years
we’ve been designing buildings and looking for places
to have a basketball facility.”
Davis said when the for-
mer middle school became
available it was what the
association needed in a facility.
The building was sold
on public auction by the
Washington-Nile
School
District. At the time it was
purchased by Bobby Evans.
“When he bought the
facility he donated the
football complex to our association. At the same time
we asked to see if we could
lease the gym for our basketball team to plat. At the
time we did not want anything else but the gym,” Davis said. “After he had done
some work on the building,
he came to us and offered
to sell us the building,” Davis said. “That’s when we
started brainstorming ideas
on how we could come up
with the necessary funding
to buy the building.”
He said the purchase was
for the parking lot because

Riffe Elected Chairman,
Progress Made On Budget
By Wayne Allen
Common Staff Writer
Scioto County ended 2011
out of deficit in the General
Fund. At a recent organizational meeting Commissioner Skip Riffe was elected
Chairman and Tom Reiser
was elected Vice Chairman.
According to Scioto County Auditor David Green at
the end of 2011 the cash balance of the counties general
fund was $362, 095.72.
“We had outstanding encumbrances of $494, 867.22.
That means offices have set
aside money for obligations.
So that leaves us with a negative $132, 771.50,” Green
said.
The commissioners in
December passed a threemonth appropriation budget.
Because the county’s current financial recovery plan
expires Dec. 31, the commissioners could only pass
this temporary budget. They
will be able to pass a permanent budget once the Scioto
County Financial Planning
and Supervision Commission passed a new recovery
plan.
The commissioners started 2010 with a deficit of
$2.093 million in the general
fund. By the end of 2010 they
were able to cut the general
fund debt to $893,716.
In 2010, several county
offices instituted furlough
days on their employees. In
some offices employees were
Skip Riffe
asked to take as many as 22
days without pay.
According to tax records, the county took in
$10,252,517 in permissive
sales tax for 2011, which
was $395, 517 over original
estimates.
As Chairman Riffe said
he plans to keep business as
usual for the county.
“The primary focus is
going to be getting out of
finical emergency. We have a
few economic development
projects we are working on
including Infra-Metals which
is now off the ground,” Riffe
said. “We will continue perusing opportunities any
economic development opportunities that will present
them selves. Beyond that we
are going to run things business as usual and hopefully
that will be good business.”
The commissioners chose
to keep their regular meeting dates and times at Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30
a.m.
owned the football complex.
“That’s when we got
hocked up with Maycel
Clark of the Clark Foundation. We told her our plans
and everything we wanted
to do for the kids of the area
and she donated the money
so we could purchase the
building,” Davis said.
The association purchased the building for
$60,000.
“Even though we are the
Basketball Association the
vision now is far beyond
basketball,” said Todd
Book, West Portsmouth
Youth Basketball Association board member. “We are
talking soccer and football.
We have the facilities now
to help the kinds in the area
play these sports.”
Davis said there is an endless amount of possibilities
on where the association
can go now that they own a
facility.
Book said the facility is
available for rent by outside
groups.
“This is an asset to the
people of Scioto County,
weather it’s getting their
baseball team warmed up
before spring. We’re in serious discussions about putting in an indoor driving
range to help area golfers,”
Book said.
Davis said the association
will be conducting a number of fundraisers through-
out the year to help raise
money that will keep the
facility open.

ASC Riders Down For Year
By Wayne Allen
Common Staff Writer
Larry Mullins, Coordinator of Access Scioto County (ASC) is reporting the number of riders in 2011 was
down compared to years past. Mullins
attributes the loss to the economy and
the loss of contracts.
“Our total passengers for 2011 was
41,512. In 2010 we had 46,000 passengers. The last few years we have
been way down,” Mullins said. “In
2008 we had 92,000 riders and it has
steadily fallen ever since we lost our
contract with job and family services
along with all of the cutbacks we had
to make.”
He said ASC is doing O.K. budget
wise so far this year and finished 2011
with a budget surplus.
Mullins said no shows are a big issue for ASC. “In 2011 we had 1,221
no shows. In 2010 we had nearly
1,400 no shows. In 2000 we had 6,000
no shows, so there is progress being
made,” Mullins said.
Recently Mullins asked the Commissioners to provide $5,000 to serve
as a local match to state and federal
funding.
Mullins said ASC has not received
any funds from the county since 2000.
“In our local certification they
(ODOT) have asked us to have a local match this year of $5,253. In the
grant agreement they (commissioners) have to sign off that that amount
is available, if we need it,” said Larry
Mullins, ASC coordinator. “Hopefully
we will not need that money. In order
to get the hundreds of thousands of
dollars from the federal (government)
we have to say that if it comes down
to this, then that local money would
be there, too.”
Mullins said the commissioners
have agreed to provide the local money if necessary.

Baseball Banquet Held
Legion Helps Veteran
With Funeral
By Wayne Allen
Common Staff Writer
When James Gasaway a
Vietnam War Veteran died
in 2008 he had no family
and no money for a funeral
so, when Gassaway was cremated his remains were donated to American Legion
Post 471 of Portsmouth.
The legion has raised the
necessary to hold a funeral
for Gasaway.
“We’ve had his ashes
since 2008, because we
could not come up with the
records to verify his status
as a Vietnam War Veteran,
to have him properly buried,” said Mike Bell Vice
Commander for American
Legion Post 471. “Here in
the last month, with the
help of (State Representative Dr.) Terry Johnson’s
office we got that done. I
sent the information over
to the Kentucky Veterans
Cemetery North East and
they approved him being
buried there. This has been
four years in the making, to
have him at his final resting
place.”
Bell said Roberson Funeral Home in South Shore
has volunteered to take his
remains to the cemetery.
Gasaway was buried on
Friday, January 13th. Members of the legion riders
helped to escort Gasaway to
his final resting place.

Warnock Moves To Part Time Status
Bill Warnock, General
Manager of the Community
Common, will be moving
to part time status starting
this month.
Bill has a long and successful record in the newspaper business and community leadership, starting
out in ad sales with the
Portsmouth Times in 1970.
He moved up to become ad
manager and later started
the Community Common,
which eventually became a
Heartland publication.
“I have been very blessed
to have had the opportunity
to do a job I love so much
Bill Warnock
in my hometown,” Warnock
said.
Bill has expressed an
interest in slowing down,
although we know he will
remain as active as ever
now that his new status will
give him more time to follow his favorite football and
baseball teams and to spend
more time with his family.
“We’re happy he will stay
on at the Community Common to maintain some of his
major accounts and remain
involved in community activities,” commented Times
Publisher John Clark.
In November Warnock
announced his Republican
candidacy for the office of
Scioto County Recorder.
Dr. Khoury begins new
procedure at SOMC
General Vascular Surgeon
Dr. Thomas Khoury is now
offering a new procedure,
Radiofrequency Esophageal
Ablation, at Southern Ohio
Medical Center. This minimally invasive procedure
treats Barrett’s Esophagus,
a disorder that can lead to
dysplasia and even increase
the risk of esophageal cancer.
Dr. Khoury is the only
physician in the area offering this procedure.
Barrett’s esophagus is a
condition in which the lower cells of the esophagus become damaged, often as the
result of repeated exposure
to stomach acid. Barrett¹s
esophagus is most frequently diagnosed in people with long-term gastro
esophageal reflux disease
(GERD), also commonly
known as ‘reflux,’ which is
a chronic regurgitation of
stomach acid into the lower
Esophagus.

Brown Announces Nomination Of 4 Southeast
Ohio Seniors To U.S. Military Service Academies
Nominees Include Students from Athens, Gallia,
Washington, and Scioto Counties
WASHINGTON, D.C. –
Four southeast Ohio high
school seniors are being
nominated to attend U.S.
Military Service Academies. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today
announced his nomination
of students from Athens,
Gallia, Washington, and
Scioto Counties. A full list
of southeast Ohio nominees is provided below.
“Ohio schools are training leaders for the next
generation of military personnel. I am honored to
nominate these outstanding students for our prestigious U.S. Military Service
Academies,” said Brown.
“These Ohioans embody
the integrity and courage
needed to represent well
and uphold the values of
our nation. I am grateful
for their dedication to serving our country.”
Each year, Brown nominates up to ten students
for each service academy
requiring
congressional
recommendations. These
include the Air Force Acad-
emy, the Naval Academy,
the Military Academy at
West Point, and the Merchant Marine Academy.
The nominations are
based on the recommendation of a Service Academy Selection Advisory
Committee assembled by
Brown. This committee,
comprised of former academy graduates, parents of
academy attendees, and
community leaders from
throughout the state, conducted rigorous interviews
before selecting the final
candidates.
Brown used the Competitive Nominations Process
and nominated ten candidates for each academy slot
available. A nomination
does not guarantee acceptance into a service academy. The Academy’s Admissions Board ultimately
decides who receives an
appointment.
Nominations from Scioto
county are Nathaniel DeCamp of South Webster to
West Point Academy.
Thomas Khoury
geal Ablation treats the
condition by removing the
damaged cells.
“This is a complete therapy for Barrett’s, which also
includes stopping the reflux
by surgically correcting the
hiatal hernia or weak lower
esophageal sphincter,” Dr.
Khoury said. “So we kill
the Barrett’s and stop the
reflux.
“The procedure is very
minimally invasive and very
superficial,” Dr. Khoury
added. “We basically heat
the tissue of the esophagus and kill the damaged
cells. The treatment takes
between 30 and 40 minutes
to do, and then the patient
goes on with his or her life.”
Patients generally need
to go through between one
to three treatments. During the treatment, an endoscope with a small balloon
attached to it is inserted
into the esophagus. Controlled energy from radio
waves is then delivered
through the balloon, burning the damaged cells with
which it makes contact.
“Patients that have these
abnormal cells are at risk
of developing esophageal
cancer. Our goal is to address that risk by eliminating those cells,” Dr. Khoury
said.
Over 90 percent of patients, in most trials, have
experienced complete Barrett’s eradication after undergoing treatment.

How Bout’ This Weather?
By Steve Hayes
While it seems in a weather sense that the last year
has produced everything in
the book minus the raining
of toads, is what we have
experienced so far really all
that extreme? The wonderful thing about weather is
the fact that memories are
short while statistics are
cold, hard, and long. Even
on that note, weather data
as we have known officially
decreed from the National
Weather Service has only
been around for just over
a hundred seasons. If the
entire history of the world
was condensed into just
one year, the official ledger
from the skies would be less
than a second in time. That
leaves a whole lot of ground
to cover even before the
Weather Channel’s attempt
to scare us all to death with
“Storm Stories.” Let’s take
a look at some of weathers
most honest and extreme
situations.
You think we’ve had rain
here this spring; the official
record for rainfall in one
minute belongs to Unionville, Maryland on July 4th
1956. In just 60 seconds the
town received 1.23 inches of
rain. Our condolences must
go out to the tuba player in
that parade. Can you imagine 12 inches in just an
hour? That record belongs
to the town of Holt, Missouri that received that official amount of rain on June
22, 1947. As we sometimes
like to say, “If you don’t like
the weather, just wait a minute.” While a somewhat and
overused humorous expression, don’t be too quick to
pull the trigger on that one
in Spearfish, South Dakota.
Spearfish holds the world’s
official record for temperature change and it is truly
amazing. On January 22nd,
1943 at about 7:30 am, the
outside surface temperature
was -4 degrees. At 7:32 am
the temperature had suddenly risen to + 48 degrees.
That is a two minute rise
of 52 plus degrees that still
stands as an all time world
record. By 9:00 am that
same morning it was up
to 54 degrees. By the time
they were probably ready to
send the school back buses
out, the temperature suddenly again plummeted. It
took only 27 minutes for it
to again fall to -4 degrees.
No true scientific reason
has ever been given for the
phenomena that gave the
city of Spearfish both world
records both coming and
going. My soul cries out for
the early morning DJ who
was on duty at the station
for that one.
How would you have
loved to had the copyright
for the phrase, “Hot enough
for ya?’ in Marblebar, Australia beginning October
31st through April 7th back
in 1924. The city located in
the Western side of the land
down under experienced a
mere 160 continuous days
of over 100 degrees. Even
before the excuse of “it’s a
dry heat,” I pity the aspiring spin doctor who may
have attempted to market
that test phrase under those
conditions.
Winters around our area
have recently gone from
mild to frigid. Not meaning
to sound like my grandpa,
but I still remember those
days of multiple inches of
snow when my mother put
on my “snow pants” and
made me walk to school in
blizzard –like conditions. It
was just accepted and I did
survive. To put in more historical perspective, it was
1978 that saw almost 33
inches of fluff lock us all in
our tracks beginning on the
17th of January. While still
considered around here the
“storm of all storms”, many
of the worst snow storms
in history happened in Chicago. Nothing even today
could match the legendary
“Blizzard of Chicago” that
occurred in 1918. Beginning in mid- January, snow
fell for 22 straight days that
resulted in 54 inches of
snow and a record that still
stands today. Adding to the
disaster even worse was the
fact that this was the time
before plows or even snow
pants were invented.
As we witness the devastation that this year’s spring
tornados have ushered in,
our hearts and thoughts go
out to the many that lost
their lives as well as families who now have nothing. Alabama, Missouri,
Kansas, and all the twisters that have rumbled with
deadly violence through
“tornado alley” force us
again to think the unthinkable; could it happen here?
It did in 1968 as the region
experienced a killer tornado
that came across the Ohio
River late in the afternoon
to devastate part of Wheelersburg and has left everlasting scares ever since. As
bad as the headlines are this
year with outbreaks that
will most likely go down as
history’s worst, the single
day record for tornado
outbreaks in our country
is still very much close to
home. On April 11th, 1965
in was Palm Sunday when
temperatures climbed into
the 80’s in Elkhart, Indiana.
A cold front was bearing
down on the pre-mature
high heat and the explosion
was volatile. On this day
250 people would die and
over 1500 would be injured.
The lasting impression is
an extremely rare “double
funnel” tornado that ripped
through many parts of Indiana. The 1974 outbreak
was also one for the NOAA
records books. On April 3rd
an outbreak of 140 tornados over 13 States created
hell on earth and perhaps
the only level 6 tornado in
history of recorded weather
that destroyed Xenia, Ohio.
Meteorologists estimate the
wind speed at 318 mph and
that puts it into an elite status all by itself.
As this big ball of dirt
and water sails through
space while spinning at
over 1000 miles an hour,
we never really know what
natural forces are out there
waiting to knock our everyday routines into a sense of
helplessness. I should have
known something different
was in order this winter
weather as the last time I
saw a caterpillar crossing
the road, he had traded in
his traditional wool for a
speedo and thongs!
Girl Scout cookie program
kicks off January 14
It’s Girl Scout cookie time and Girl Scouts everywhere
are asking, “What can a cookie do?”
Troops in Girl Scouts of
Ohio’s Heartland Council
will find out as they begin
selling eight varieties of delicious Girl Scout cookies,
including the newest addition to the cookie line up
– “Savannah Smiles” beginning Saturday, January 14.
The
program
runs
through March 25. Troops
will deliver cookies, and
take additional orders
February 27 – March 25.
Cookie booths will open
beginning Friday, March 2
and end March 25.
This year’s new cookie,
“Savannah Smiles,” was
whipped up to commemorate the Girl Scouts 100th
anniversary, which is officially March 12, 2012. It’s a
crisp lemon wedge cookie,
dusted with powdered sugar and bursting with zesty
flavor. Its name is a nod
to Savannah, Georgia, the
birthplace of Girl Scouts
Founder Juliette Gordon
Low, and a reminder to
smile as you enjoy these
lemony treats. Cookie
favorites Thin Mints,
Samoas, Trefoils, DoSiDos, Tagalongs, Thank U
Berry Munchs, and Dulce
de Leches round out the
eight varieties. Cookies are
$3.50 a box, and $42 for a
case.
The theme of this year’s
cookie program is: “What
can a cookie do? – More
than you can see!” It reminds girls that they have
the power to do anything
they set their minds to.
Customers will have the
power to find nearby cookie booths with help from
the Official Girl Scouts of
USA Cookie Locator app
again this year. Introduced
last cookie season, the free
app helps iPhone and Android users locate cookie
booths throughout the
council’s 30-counties. The
app uses the smartphone’s
GPS to read a customer’s
location and show nearby
cookie sales. The app also
offers cookie sale data
from around the country,
including the start and end
of local cookie seasons to
specific locations of sales.
Users can cast their vote
for their favorite cookies,
too, and post their picks
on Facebook and Twitter,
among other interactive
features.
With every cookie purchase, more than half of the
proceeds stay in the local
Girl Scout council to help
provide resources needed
to support Girl Scouting
within Ohio’s Heartland
Council. Another portion
goes directly to the Girl
Scout troop. An additional
portion also goes directly
to the baker to pay for the
cookies. The council does
not donate money to any
other organization.
Cookie lovers can also
buy the council’s special
centennial cookie cookbook — Cookie Creations:
Celebrating 100 Years of
Girl Scouting. Full-color
and spiral-bound, it includes more than 100 recipes featuring Girl Scout
cookies. The cookbooks
will be available exclusively at the council’s five
resources, which are located in Columbus, Chillicothe, Marion, Mansfield
and Zanesville. Visit www.
gsooh.org for more details.
Ohio’s Heartland Council
will keep the Girl Scouts’
100th anniversary celebration going, as it hosts Girl
Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland
Forever Green Centennial
Celebration beginning at 6
p.m. March 2, 2012 at The
Ohio State University’s Archie Griffin Ballroom. For
more information about
the evening cocktail re-
ception and dinner event,

Celebrating 40 Years of
Service to Our Community!
By Pamela K. Matura
Executive Director, Area Agency on
Aging District 7
2012 is an exciting year
for our Agency as we celebrate 40 years of service
to our district! What a great
way to kick-off our year of
celebration with covering
that very topic for our January Monthly Column. We
have so much to share about
our Agency and the 40
years that we have been in
existence that we will have
to split the topic over the
next couple months! This
month, we’ll discuss some
of the history of the Area
Agency on Aging District 7
(AAA7) and program development over the years.
It all began here in 1972
when Rio Grande College
in Rio Grande, Ohio, was
selected to sponsor one of
only four model projects in
Ohio that were funded by
the US Administration on
Aging to focus on the ways
and means to assist older
adults living within the district. The Area-Wide Model
Project developed social
services, such as transportation, and information and referral, for older
Americans in four counties,
including Gallia, Jackson,
Meigs and Vinton. Grants
from the federally-legislated Older Americans Act
(OAA) of 1965 and related
amendments provided the
funding for services, and
agency operations were later expanded to ten counties
including Adams, Brown,
Gallia, Highland, Jackson,
Pamela Matura
Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Meigs County was later included as a
part of the Area Agency on
Aging District 8. Today, the
AAA7 is one of twelve Area
Agencies on Aging throughout the state of Ohio.
Program growth in the
Agency occurred throughout the years. In 1978, we
added the Regional LongTerm Care Ombudsman
Program, a service mandated in the OAA that receives, investigates and acts
on complaints by older individuals and their families
who are residents of longterm care facilities, and advocates for the well-being
of such individuals. We also
added the responsibility
of the Nutrition Program,
funded through the Older
Americans Act, to provide
congregate dining opportunities and home-delivered
meals through a network of
dining sites and rural routes
throughout our ten counties.
In 1990, the largest expansion of services took
place when the AAA7 be-
came the administrative
agency for the PASSPORT
Medicaid Waiver program.
This program, which provides in-home services to
older adults age 60 and over
who medically qualify for
nursing home placement
and meet specific financial
eligibility requirements, includes in-home, case-managed services such as personal care, home-delivered
meals, medical transportation, adult day care, emergency response systems,
and durable medical equipment. The AAA7 currently
offers this program through
the traditional method or
self-directed option.
In February’s Column,
we’ll cover some of the other services that were added
over the years as well as
recent projects and activities our Agency is currently
working on.
Our Agency is dedicated
to providing a number of
services and assistance to
our community. Unfortunately, many people are
unaware of the valuable resources that are available to
them. By making a simple
phone call to our Agency
at 1-800-582-7277, you can
learn more about the resources that are available in
your community that support a safe and independent
living environment for you
or someone you know. We
have trained nurses and social workers ready to answer
your questions and help you
determine what options and
resources are available to
meet your needs.
