Bound Book Store locatedat 10827 Chillicothe Pike inJackson. Olivia is a child on amission who is determined tohelp those in the communitywith a need. Her classmates atCLA made ornaments for thetree, as did students at theGood Shepherd WesleyanChurch.The tree went up last

Thursday, November 17, andalready they have achieved thenumber of blankets and biblesanticipated, but there are stillother items needed for the tree.Adult coats, gloves, hats,socks, scarves, non-perishablefood items, toothpaste andtoothbrushes, soap anddeodorant, are all still needed.

Olivia’s project has becomea family affair, with her fatherDavid, and brother Adam,helping out and supportingher in any way they can.Heaven Bound owner ArleneMusic is also supporting theproject by working with thefamily to make Olivia’s dreamcome true with a donation ofbibles, and for being the dropoff site for the needed items.The items gathered

between now and theDecember 14 distribution datehave been targeted to go to thesoup kitchen at the JacksonChristian Church located at102 Broadway Street inJackson. June indicated thatdepending on the number ofitems they receive and the sup-

port they get, Olivia’s projectcould possibly continue intoupcoming months, but forright now they are just lookingforward to the first distribu-tion day. Students from CLAwill also be at the soup kitchenon that date to help pass outitems and to sing a few songsfor those in attendance.Anyone who is unsure of

what to donate, so would pre-fer to make a monetary dona-tion can do so at HeavenBound. Just give the money toArlene or Kelly and tell them itis for Olivia’s Tree. They willdo the rest.For more information con-

you save time by research-ing ahead of time, you’ll alsosave money on gas by notdriving all over town.• Know retailers’ return

and exchange policies. Returnpolicies vary, so knowingahead of time whether or notyou will have to ship backreturns or exchanges or if youcan return them to the physicalstore in your area will help inthe long run.

On Black Friday• If you are looking for spe-

cific advertised items, take thecomplete ad with you so thatyou don’t end up in the wrongstore looking for a specificprice.• Shop safely! Watch your

personal belongings at alltimes including handbags andpurchases. The stores are notresponsible for any lost itemsso be careful, especially at theregister when you can get eas-ily distracted by the transac-tion itself.• Remember when gift

shopping you are buying forsomeone else’s wants andneeds, not your own. Decidingwhether you like a certain itemisn’t really the point… Thequestion is, will Great AuntMargaret like it? Having saidthat, don’t be afraid to take fulladvantage of holiday promo-tions you see on products youwould like yourself. Treatyourself to something nice!Save yourself the guess-

work and buy gift cards. Theyare a perfect way to let giftrecipients choose what theywant and a great way to stickto a budget.• When walking through

the mall or down Main Street,wear comfortable shoes. You’llbe walking on a lot of marble,concrete and tile. Make sureyou have water and snackswith you too, or stop for lunch.This will give you time to

check your list and prioritizethe rest of the time you havethat day.• When parking in a large

parking lot, make sure to keepall items in the trunk of the carand out of sight. It also helpsto park near a light if youknow you it will be dark by thetime you are done. Mentallylocate the nearest securityoffice or officers in case anemergency occurs you can eas-ily track down appropriatepersonnel.

After you’ve made yourpurchases

• Staple a gift receipt to themerchandise tag in case itneeds to be returned orexchanged. Keep your originalreceipts with any warrantypaperwork for the life of thewarranty.• Save yourself the

headache: let the charity groupat the mall wrap your gifts foryou. This will save you a lot oftime and free you up to doother things on your holidayto-do lists.• Get any packages you are

sending to people in the mailright away. Things are onlygoing to get busier from hereon out.Although many will be

shopping to their heart’s desireon Friday, Bridget Hopper ofJackson said on Facebook,would not be venturing to thecrowded stores filled withshoppers on a mission onBlack Friday saying, “Are youcrazy?”If you are not into the the

shopping of Black Friday, lookto Cyber Monday, where storesoffer deep discounts andsometimes free shipping foritems ordered online. Somesay it is a hassle free way to getyour hoilday gifts right fromyour own home via your inter-net connection.For more tips go to

2012 dog tags amongbusiness for

County CommissionersBY CANDICE WEDDINGTON

Times-Journal Writer

JACKSON—Several issues were discussed dur-ing Tuesday’s meeting of the Jackson CountyCommissioners.Jackson County Auditor Clyde Holdren said

that his office is preparing for the sale of 2012 dogtags, which will begin on Dec. 1. Although detailsabout the specific locations where tags can be pur-chased are not yet available, Holdren said that thelicenses will still cost $12 and are for dogs at leastthree months of age. A $60 kennel fee will becharged for up to five dogs, with a $2 additionalcharge for each animal after the first five.A mail-out will be sent on the 30th to remind

previous license holders to purchase their tags forthe new year. Tags will be available for purchasefrom Dec. 1 to Jan. 31 at a number of locationsthroughout the county. They can also be pur-chased online at www.doglicenses.us/ohio/jackson.On a different note, Holdren presented the

commissioners with a sales tax report for themonth of November. According to the report,Jackson County brought in $120,338.49 forNovember of this year, down $5,072.63 from lastNovember. After the first 11 months of the year,Jackson County is down a total of $11,021.31 from2010.The commissioners also approved a new fund,

Fund 102 Severance-General. According toCommissioner Jim Riepenhoff, the county pays100 percent of comp and vacation time and a per-centage of sick time, upon an employee’s retire-ment. This fund will be used to save money to paythose costs when employees retire, since manycounty employees have accrued a considerableamount of comp time.Jackson County Dog Warden Roy Williams sub-

mitted a report for the week of Saturday, Nov. 5through Thursday, Nov. 10. During that time,eight animals were adopted, seven were eutha-nized, one was euthanized due to injury or illness,and four remained at the pound. There were 25total animals at the pound, and he responded to102 calls.

Holiday Closings

A time to be thankfulThanksgiving is a unique American holi-

day. In keeping with its tradition, I think it isright and important to give thanks. We have alot to be concerned about, and there are manyAmericans currently going through toughtimes. Expressing gratitude does not meanthat we dismiss our concerns or forget aboutthose in need, but rather, take time to reflect onwhat we do have to be thankful of.First and foremost, I am very thankful to be

anAmerican. We are free to voice our opinionsand disagree without fear of persecution.Moreover, we can worship God freely, and weare able to go where we want to go. Freedomis not free, and we are so blessed to have menand women across the world fighting and pro-tecting our freedom, as well as all those whohave gone before them.Here in the 87th House District, I am thank-

ful to the voters who have given me theopportunity to serve them as their state repre-sentative. In addition, I have a strong appreci-ation for all the people in my life: family,friends, and all the communities that I serve,as well as my colleagues in the Ohio House.All 99 of my fellow state representatives aredifferent, but we share a common love for ourcountry and state. I also want to give thanks toall of the Americans who work hard to earn aliving, raise their families, and pay their taxes.They are truly the backbone of our nation.This Thanksgiving, I have a few of my own

personal observations. I am thankful for thelives of former Congressman Clarence Millerand my grandmother, Ruby Scites. They bothpassed this year, and they were great peoplewho influenced my life.Finally, I am grateful for all of the people

that are giving of themselves to ensure thatothers less fortunate have a brighterThanksgiving. For those who are in need, gra-ciously accept any help that someone maygive and understand that you also have some-thing to give in allowing yourself to receivehelp. Gratitude in itself is a gift. Frommy fam-ily to yours, I wish you all a safe and happyThanksgiving.Rep. Carey may be reached by calling (614)

This Sunday will be the firstSunday in Advent. Advent isfrom the Latin Adventus and isa word for coming. ForChristians it is about the com-ing of the Savior. For thosewho follow the church year,this is the beginning of thechurch year in the WesternChurch.

Contrary to some thought,Black Friday is not a necessityto be completed before we canmove on to Advent. And forchurch members, the seasonshould be more than if we can

sing Christmas music duringthis part of the church year.

In many families andchurches we find Advent cele-brated with an Advent wreaththat contains four candles, onefor each Sunday of Advent.Others mark the season withan Advent calendar that helpscount the days until Christmas.I have seen many creativeforms for such calendars.

Advent for Christiansshould be a season of prepara-tion. While we make manypreparations for Christmas, we

need to prepare our hearts toreceive the gift of the Christchild. The spirit of Advent canbe seen in the parable of thebridesmaids who are anxiouslyawaiting the coming of theBridegroom (Matt. 25). There isprofound joy at theBridegroom’s expected com-ing. And yet a warning of theneed for preparation echoesthrough the parable. But eventhen, the prayer of Advent isstill: Come, O Come,Emmanuel, and ransom cap-tive Israel!

The Apostle Paul said inScriptures in his last earthly tes-timony:

“I have fought a good fight,I have finished my course, Ihave kept the faith.” II Timothy4:7.

Writer’s Note: “The follow-ing is my personal concept ofbeing successful and winningin life from a Christian perspec-tive. We must as Christianbelievers by the grace of Godand our personal faith in theChrist of Calvary’s Cross, mak-ing reference specifically to Hisprecious atoning and redeem-ing shed Blood, fight backagainst the forces of evil in thissin-cursed world. We must notonly fight back but we mustalso overcome individually andpersonally through our faith inthe Christ of Calvary’s Cross.Bible references; I John 5:1a & 4-5, Rev. 12:11, Rev. 21:7-8. Be notdeceived my friend, we are astrue Christian believersengaged in spiritual warfarewith Satan the devil. Therefore,we are admonished throughand by the followingScriptures: Eph. 6:10-18a., James4:7, I Peter 5:8-11. “We are morethan conquerors throughChrist.” Romans 8:35-39.” J.R.

In regard to fighting backfrom a personal perspective: Asa Christian, I have for mayyears striven earnestly and dili-gently by the grace of God andthrough my personal faith inChrist to develop and maintaina positive attitude and outlookon life based exclusively on theHoly Scriptures. It’s not beeneasy for I’ve had to fight andfight hard in my efforts throughChrist to change a negative,defeatist attitude toward lifeinto a positive, optimistic one.The fight is not over, it is stillgoing on daily but I intend bythe grace of God through mypersonal faith in Jesus Christ toultimately win the battle. Mymind-set based on the grace ofGod, faith in Christ, iron-willeddetermination and undyingresolve is, “I can do all thingsthrough Christ which strength-eneth me.” Philippians 4:13. Godhas said it in His Word, Ibelieve it and that settles it forme personally. “I have hiddenGod’s Word in my heart, that Imight not sin against Him.”Psalm 119:11. “Christ is myLord.” Philippians 2:5-11.

Centuries ago, the GreekPhilosopher Plato stated: “Self-conquest is the greatest of allvictories.” As a Christian, I amof the belief that “self-conquestthrough personal faith in JesusChrist is the greatest of all vic-tories.” Life is tough but win-ners are tougher. One of themain reasons that I writewhether it be historically, philo-sophically or spiritually is forthe enjoyment of others andmyself. I believe we are eachone in this world to contributeand we cannot live rewardingand fulfilling lives withoutdoing so. Happiness comes onspiritual wings and we receiveit through giving. Helping andencouraging others gives usreason and purpose for ourexistence on this earth and it

carries its own reward.Someone has well stated,“People will never care howmuch we know until theyknow how much we care.”Someone else has said, “We cangive without loving but wecan’t love without giving.”Always remember, “God lovedand God gave.” John 3:16.

If through my writings, I canconsole hurts, ease pain or liftloads of care, then my writingswill have served their purposeand my life will not have beenlived in vain. If I can light a can-dle of hope in the breast of asoul who is helplessly adrift onthe great and stormy sea of lifeor bestow a rose as an act ofkindness upon someone who islonely and discouraged tryingto cheer them on, the it will beworth it all.

There are no insignificantpeople in this world; all havebeen created as a part of God’splan with purpose and reasonfor their existence. Regardlessof whoever, whatever or wher-ever you are, my friend, you aresomething special. Always doyour best and always be your-self, for you are unique. Thereis none other in the entire uni-verse just exactly like you.According to the HolyScriptures, God has created youand I for His exclusive pleasureand glory. Bible reference,Revelation 4:11. We have ourvery own individuality andpersonality in respect to beinggifted and talented thereforewe should never feel inferior toanyone for we are not.

I believe personally that suc-cess and winning in life can befound in overcoming and mas-tering one’s problems and diffi-culties and is not measured inone’s wealth or social standing.The Holy Bible confirms this:

“He that overcometh shallinherit all things; and I will behis God, and he shall be Myson.” Revelation 21:7.

(Note: This Scripture repre-sents both male and female, itspeaks to both genders.)

Winning through Christ isfor those individuals who byGod’s grace, dare fearlessly toaccept their lives as a continu-ous daily challenge, those whoanticipate with eagerness eachnew day as something to beconquered. Winners throughChrist must first through theirpersonal faith-believing seek toconquer or master the greatestobstacle they will ever facewhich is themselves. AChristian must of necessitymaster self or self will masterthem and this my friend is aScriptural fact. We can onlymaster ourself though theChrist of Calvary’s Cross.

Writer’s Note: “My prayer isthat God through the Christ ofCalvary’s Cross by means ofthe blessed Holy Spirit willanoint this writing and use it toglorify Himself in this old sin-cursed world and may it bedone in a great and mightyway. The Holy Bible says:“Whatsoever you do, do all tothe glory of God.” I Cor. 10:31b.J.R.……To be continued next week

NOTES

PRISONER OF WARLong ago they brought me here,

a prisoner of politics am I.A hunger within me yearns,

but nothing here to stop the burn.Many nights and many days,

no human voice has echoed myway.I wonder if my family knows,

dear God I pray they do not know!I hear the shells across the sky,

I see them light up the sky,But no one has rescued me.If I were ever set free I wonder

as thin as I am - brain washed too,Will my family, will society

accept me? Will the world andthey slay me?And not understand me and all

that I have gone through.Here in this very small cell,

here in this desolate land?Do they know what freedom

does really cost us all?This weakness of body and

mind; has my country forsaken

me?I feel tired, alone, hungry and

lost.I want to stand erect with

pride, but my knees buckle under-neath me.To be embraced tightly with

loving arms, if but one more timein my life.To chase away my fears in the

night, a warm blanket to break thecold,Food to end this growling in

my stomach.Hear out my lonely prayer

from this lonely lost soldier far, farfrom home.If you can but rescue me, come

for me. If you can not then bringme home so that my body will butrest, rest on holy Heavenly landagain.This is all that I but ask.

Diane McVey of DilesHearing Center is announcingthe creation of the DilesHospice Hearing Aid LoanProgram in cooperation withthe Appalachian CommunityVisiting Nurses Association,Hospice and Health Services,Inc. The staff of Diles HearingCenter will donate their servic-es to test and fit loaner hearingdevices for any patient in hos-pice care and referred byACVNA/HHS.The purpose of this new

program is to improve commu-nication between a hospicepatient and others includingspouse/partner, family mem-bers, friends and health profes-sionals providing hospiceand/or medical services. Oftena hearing loss prevents theenjoyment of conversations orlistening to music, etc. duringthis phase of life. ln addition,some medical treatments,including chemotherapy, candecrease hearing.Diane McVey is seeking

donation of hearing devices forthe program. She states thatoften our patient’s families askwhat they can do with adeceased spouse’s or parent’shearing devices. It is illegal tosell a hearing aid without alicense to fit hearing aids; there-fore, donation to this programmay help another person byfinding further use for the hear-ing aids. We are pleased toannounce that Mary and BillDiles of Athens have donatedthe first set of digital hearingdevices for the program.Information will be available inthe future at the www.dileshear-ing.com website.Anyone who has questions

about the Diles HospiceHearing Aid Loan Program orhearing loss assistance can callthe office located in Athens at740-594-3571 or toll free at 1-8OO- 237-7716. AppalachianCommunity Visiting NursesAssociation, Hospice andHealth Services, can be contact-ed at 740-594-8226 or 1-800-837-1112.

Making decisions abouthealth care coverage and yourinsurance needs are some of thetoughest and often most compli-cated choices Ohioans face.Those decisions are especiallyimportant for Medicare benefici-aries, who must consider manyoptions and what those optionsmean to household budgets.With Medicare’s Annual OpenEnrollment Period alreadyunderway and coming to an endin just a few weeks, it is time toreview and evaluate what bestmeets your needs.

Open enrollment started thisyear on Oct. 15, much earlierthan in past years, and will endon Dec. 7. Fortunately, the OhioDepartment of Insurance has aprogram designated to assistMedicare beneficiaries. TheOhio Senior Health Insurance

Information Program (OSHIIP)has been helping Medicareenrollees for nearly 20 years byproviding free and objectiveinformation. Our dedicated staffis standing by to walk youthrough all of your Medicarechoices and prescription drugoptions.

For example, Part D andMedicare Advantage plans canchange year-to-year in terms ofbenefits offered, provider net-works and premium costs.There are also programsdesigned to assist low incomeOhioans with prescription drugcosts and their Part B premiums,as well as Medigap Insurance,which covers gaps found in tra-ditional Medicare. Ultimately,there are a number of differentfactors Ohioans should keep inmind to determine what planbest meets their needs whilestaying within their budget.

Department of Insurance

staff and OSHIIP volunteershave been trained to providefree plan comparisons and pre-scription drug plan evaluationsto all Ohio Medicare beneficiar-ies. Our staff travels throughoutthe state to participate in eventsin every county during theopen enrollment period.Working with beneficiarieseach and every day, the successstories are countless and reflectthe passionate work of theDepartment on behalf of Ohioconsumers.

On a daily basis, consumersare reviewing their optionswith our counselors and find-ing ways to save money byswitching plans or making

adjustments that meet eachbeneficiary’s unique needs. Butnot every Medicare enrolleenecessarily needs to changeplans every year. To be confi-dent that this year’s plan is thebest coverage for you in 2012,we encourage all Medicare ben-eficiaries to compare theiroptions by contacting OSHIIPfor a free, personalized compar-ison report.

COLUMBUS – It might seem thatOhio State defensive tackle Johna-than Hankins would have more incen-tive to play against Michigan this Sat-urday than most of his teammates, but he says it’s not so.

Hankins, a 6-3, 335-pound sopho-more, played at Detroit Southeast-ern High School, around 40 minutes from Michigan Stadium, but never attracted serious recruiting attention from Michigan until late in his senior season at Southeastern.

He eventually got an offer from former Michigan footballcoach Rich Rodri-guez but turned it down to goto OSU.

There are no hard feelings, Hankins says.

“I’m happy here so I can’t be mad about it,” he said after a 20-14 Ohio State loss to Penn State on Saturday.

“They came to me at the end of my senior year and offered me a scholar-ship. But by that time I was commit-ted to Ohio State, my mind was made up.”

Revenge might not be on Hankins’ mind, but redemption appears to be a huge motivator for him and his teammates, heading into the Michigan game this Saturday in Ann Arbor.

Ohio State (6-5, 3-4 Big Ten) has won 10 games or more eight of the nine seasons before this one and has won at least a share of the Big Ten football championship six years in a row.

After going to BCS bowls eight of the last nine seasons, the Buckeyes’ bowl destination will be considerably less glitzy this time around.

So, beating Michigan (9-2, 5-2 Big Ten), as they have done every year since a 35-21 loss in 2003, can be the great healer, OSU’s players say.

“At a place like this in a bad season, throw it out the window because

you’ve got Michigan and people forgive you for some of that (if you beat Michigan). That’s how I’m looking at it. Let’s get this one,” center Michael Brewster said.Running back Dan Herron said,

“If we get that win up there, we can change a lot of things.”

Hankins said, “We’ve got to put this game behind us and focus on Michigan now. I don’t think it’s going to be too hard. It’s a tough loss but we’ve got the last game of the year against Michigan and we’re going to buckle down and get ready.”

Michigan tormented Ohio State during John Cooper’s 13 seasons as the Buckeyes’ coach. Even casual fans could identify 2-10-1 as the for-mer OSU coach’s record against the Buckeyes’ biggest rival.

But the rivalry took an abrupt turn in a different direction in Jim Tres-sel’s 10 seasons as OSU’s coach when the Buckeyes were 9-1 against the Wolverines, including seven wins in a row since Michigan’s last win in 2003 in Michigan Stadium.

Thanksgiving is upon us.Every year it seems to arrive allat once! (That may be a sign ofme getting older.)

I finally got my menuplanned and did my good shop-ping on Sunday, so I guess I’m asready as I can be.

My children aren’t cominghome, so I’ll spend my day withclose friends.

Suedell’s family can’t gettogether until Friday, so we willcelebrate then. That will give ustwo days of over-indulging ofgood food. When we step on ourscales on Saturday they will say,“One person at a time please!”

Thanksgiving always bringsa bit of sadness to our family, asmy brother, Danny Holtz, losthis life in the line of duty 24years ago on the day beforeThanksgiving.

Danny served on theWellston Fire Department formany years.

Danny was a hero and mypersonal hero. I had a great lovefor my brother. He was thought-ful, loving, and always had adeep care for his family and thecommunity, and he was barrelsof fun.

He is still greatly missed byEmma, Patty, Carolyn, Ron,Mandy, Carrie, me, and theWellston Fire Department.

Thanksgiving Day brings theMacy’s parade. We have alwaysenjoyed watching the parade ontelevision.

One of my favorites is theRadio City Rockettes. I lovewatching them dance. If Suedelland I would try kicking as highas those girls, we would be intraction for the rest of our lives,never to move again!

I also enjoy Santa making hisgrand appearance.

Several of us went toKingston Saturday night to

enjoy karaoke. The establish-ment had a pool table, and Ira“The Hustler” Crabtree wasbeaten fair and square by Kathy“Minnesota Fats” Fugett. Wewere all quite shocked that “TheHustler” finally lost a game, buthe took it very well.

We were all proud of ol’“Minnesota Fats.”

Arnold Tripp had somehealth problems last week andwas in the hospital. He is athome now.

We all wish Arnold a speedyrecovery. Please remember himin your prayers.

The Sleigh Bell Ball will beheld on Saturday, Dec. 3, at thememorial building in Jackson,from 7 to 11 p.m. We are all look-ing forward to the ball, as wehave been planning our eveningout for a couple of months. Itwill be a great time!

The biggest shopping dayever, “Black Friday,” is nearlyhere. I know many people havebeen studying the sale fliers,making their lists, and planningtheir strategies.

I wish them luck and safeshopping.

Birthday greetings go out toMandy, Dennis and MarcellaYoung.

I wish them a happy day andmany more!

There is no household hintthis week. Just enjoy your timewith family and friends, anddon’t worry about house clean-ing chores or clean-ups!

Happy Thanksgiving to all;we have so much to be thankfulfor and so many blessings tocount.

You can reach me at 120-AWest Second Street or drop anote in my mailbox with anynews you may have.

Always thank a veteran.God Bless America!

WELLSTON— They built itand people have most definite-ly come to Wellston City’s newfield of dreams. But this field ofdreams is not a baseball field,it’s a high school football field,and stadium brought back tolife, bringing life back to itseconomically struggling com-munity in the process.“Our community has been

plagued by fiscal emergency,burglary and drugs and thishas really brought back aninstilled pride in our commu-nity,” said Wellston schoolboard Vice President GretchenCrabtree.You might say Crabtree is

fittingly named as she is theone who planted the first seedfor Wellston’s field of dreams -a seed the entire communityeventually had a hand in culti-vating. It all began afterCrabtree, a member of OSBA’sSoutheast Region ExecutiveCommittee, received an emailin January from OSBASoutheast Regional ManagerPaul Mock.“Rob Delane, OSBA’s

deputy executive director,received a call from BradHebert of ESPN, who’s incharge of producing the ‘RISEUP’ television program,” Mocksaid. “Hebert needed to get anidea of what schools mightqualify for ‘RISE UP’ … I firedoff an email to all of my execu-tive committee members andtold them to give me names ofschools from their home dis-tricts that they thought wouldqualify. I forwarded those ontoHebert and told him goodluck, because there are a lot ofschool districts in this part ofthe state that could benefitfrom ESPN’s program.”ESPN’s TV series “RISE

UP” was in the process ofselecting four schools nation-wide to receive renovations oftheir athletic facilities. Theshow had already selectedEleanor McMain SecondarySchool in New Orleans, thefirst public school to re-openafter Hurricane Katrina, as thefirst renovation recipient.“RISE UP” producers contact-ed OSBA specifically lookingto choose a district in southeastOhio, at the request of co-hostand Ohio State football andNFL star Chris Spielman.When Crabtree receivedMock’s email, she quickly gotthe ball rolling.“I was so excited and

thrilled, so I typed out a longemail to Paul right awayexplaining why Wellstonshould be selected,” Crabtreesaid. “Superintendent (Karen)Boch went out in the snow andtook pictures (of the facilities),she submitted them, and onTuesday, received a phone callthat they’d be in town onThursday. Chris Spielman andthe crew came and the kidswere out of school, so they did-n’t have a clue.”Rays of hope help the

dream growESPN wanted to keep the

selection process secretbecause they didn’t want stu-dents to get their hopes up.After all, Wellston has facedblow after blow in recent years.The region has a long historyof plant closures and, in 2009,the state auditor declaredWellston to be in fiscal emer-gency. Money was so tight thatcity turned off its streetlights toreduce costs. Wellston schoolsfaced constant calamity daysbecause the city couldn’t affordto plow snow from the streetsand the district recycled athlet-ic uniforms every year to savemoney.Wellston’s stadium, C.H.

Jones Field, was built in 1935or 1936. Due to the dilapidatedcondition of the school’s track,located behind the field,Wellston stop hosting track

meets years ago.“We haven’t had a track

home meet since 1999,”Crabtree said. “But whenESPN came down and saw ourfootball facilities, they honedin on that. They kept reappear-ing and reappearing and itwasn’t until May that theyannounced their choice.”Celebrating the crop to

comeDuring an assembly on the

last day of school, studentswere told the good news bySpielman and Sheri Derrow,the wife of longtime WellstonHigh basketball and baseballcoach Jim Derrow, who diedunexpectedly on May 16 of aheart attack. Within a two-week time span, Derrow andphysical education teacherTony DeCastro passed away,leaving the district in a state ofmourning. DeCastro taught inthe district for 36 years beforehis retirement. He died after abattle with cancer.Derrow had been involved

with showing ESPN the facili-ties on Wellston’s campus. Henever got to see the renova-tions, which were completed injust one month and wereunveiled on Aug. 6. ESPNplaced a memorial decal andplaque in the school’s gym as atribute to Derrow.“I was not surprised, but

amazed at the number of peo-ple that came out to the‘reveal,’” said SuperintendentKaren Boch. “I would say therewere 1,500-2,000 people here.”Those who attended got to

see the totally redesigned andrenovated locker rooms,offices, film room, showerroom and weight room. Otherrenovations included improve-ments to the stadium, anasphalted walkway around thestadium, new sod on the fieldand a sprinkler and drainagesystem.“The old locker rooms I

think were the same for proba-bly 20 to 30 years or longer;this is a total change,” saidWellston Athletic Director JeffHendershott. “It’s unbeliev-able what they’ve done. It’sjust great for our student ath-letes to have a locker room asnice as it is now, they certainlydeserve it.”Support rains down from

the communityThe renovations didn’t cost

the district a dime. ESPNsolicited all of the funding andthe community generouslypitched in time and cash.“This whole project really is

about more than renovating afield, it’s about the communitycoming together and helpingeach other,” Boch said “Thereare so many donors that wedon’t even know, so to evensay thank you to just a few isnot fair.”ESPN videotaped every step

along the way and offered

another memorable bonus toWellston football players - atraining session with ChrisSpielman and former NFL andBuckeye star Eddie George.“It was definitely an awe-

some experience,” saidWellston High School defensiveback Noah Massie. “I grew upan Ohio State fan and still am.Those two have been role mod-els of mine for a really longtime.”ESPN focused on educating

the athletes on the importanceof proper nutrition, rest andoverall health. On Sept. 13,Wellston’s story aired as thefirst “RISE UP” episode of thenew season. Just a few days ear-lier, the Wellston GoldenRockets hosted their first homegame of the season on Sept. 9. Itwas an event the town willnever forget.“It’s surreal to think that I

will be playing on this newfield, then watching my kids orwhoever play on the same fieldthat I did,” said wide receiverDakota Brown.On this momentous occa-

sion, the alumni band joinedWellston’s marching band tomarch through the city to thestadium. It’s an old traditionthat had stoppedwhen the highschool relocated. But Crabtree,who plays alto in the alumniband, says the event presentedthe perfect opportunity to bringback a bit of old with the new.“Football Friday night is so

special in Wellston,” Crabtreesaid. “And, with the stadiumdowntown, it brings the com-munity together. They walk tothe field, they have theirgrandchildren, it’s totally afamily event and there’s just athrill in the air.”Reaping the seeds of labor

on the new field of dreams onthat special night, the womanwho planted the first seedwaspublicly acknowledged forher efforts. Crabtree wasawarded the Bob WaltonAward by the Big W FootballBoosters.Even though the Golden

Rockets were defeated by theGallia Blue Devils, they willstay on cloud nine for a whilefeeling like an angel hasblessed them. Maybe one did.One board member, takingimmediate actionwith one bigidea, spurred the communityinto action and changed thehistory of a city.“It’s just been an awesome

experience being a small com-munity and being put on themap by a national program,”said tight end BrandonShover. “This is definitely thebiggest thing to hit this citythat I can remember.”This article ran in the October

2011 editon of the Ohio SchoolBoards Association Journal andwas written by Crystal DavisHutchins Editor of the OSBAJournal.
