A NATIONWIDE movement that got its start April 15, the federal income tax filing date, has been revived as folks from far and wide traveled to Harrison County. Pictured, center from left, are Cadiz area residents Louise Adams, LeeAnna Mikesell and Louis Puskarich. The tea party rally, hailed as a non-partisan event, was held in front of the county courthouse. The success of the April events led organizers from Belmont, Jefferson, Carroll, Guernsey, Tuscarawas and Harrison counties to host the Thursday evening rally where tea bags were distributed to the nearly 150 people in attendance and petitions were signed. Speakers shared their displeasure with current leaders and such topics as financial bailouts, stimulus funding, taxation and gun control. A similar event has been planned for Saturday in Wheeling on the steps of WesBanco Arena at 3:30 p.m. See images at cu.timesleaderonline.com.

Bud Em loves cheap thrills, or simply: Give us your "junque"
Fri, July 3, 2009 @ 12:47PM
IT’S BUD Em’s favorite time of year - Yard Sale Season! She is a true Yard Sale Diva! It’s a fact that some of her most prized possessions cost as little as a dime. But make no mistake - there is a science behind it. At least that’s what she says. The process begins early in the week as she scours the classified ads looking for what she thinks sound like worthy sales. The term “worthy sale” is subjective, of course. It just depends on what you’re looking for. Next she maps out her course planning stops in the most logical order. Finally, she rises early - sometimes she is able to convince her daughter to go and other times the child refuses be roused - and sets off an another treasure hunt. Sometimes she comes home with an armload of goodies, and other times she arrives empty handed. It’s all just a big game of chance.

Patriotic Movies
Tue, June 30, 2009 @ 11:15AM
Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Macaroni Salad.....Fireworks.....then what? If you're like me there's nothing better on the Fourth of July than ending the holiday with an All-American night.....pop some popcorn and watch a movie. Here are some patriotic movies to choose from to help celebrate America's birthday. Independence Day: Will Smith leads the military to victory against hostile aliens on what else...Independence Day. You'll get some laughs from Jeff Goldblum. Not to mention my personal favorite, Harry Connick Jr. has a small role in the film! The Patriot: Very, and I mean very, loosely based on historical fact, but an entertaining flick none-the-less. Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) is forced to join the American Revolution to save his farm and family. Plus, his son is played by the late Heath Ledger. Check out one of his star making roles. Patton: This one is definitely on here for my Dad.

Be true to your school
Wed, July 1, 2009 @ 7:43PM
Talk about stepping up to the plate -- you have to love the passion of an Antioch College alumni group. The Yellow Springs-based institution closed a year ago due to a sea of red ink and declining enrollment among other factors. However, Antioch may gain a new lease on life. The alumni group called -- the Antioch College Continuation Corp. -- is purchasing the defunct-school for $6 million. I am impressed an alumni organization can boast $6 million in assets. I am also impressed that it is willing to put it all on the line on a long shot. Some other hoops need to be jumped through before the group can finalize the deal by its Aug. 31 goal. Should the deal come to fruition, it will take the alumni group two years to get Antioch back up and running. I don't know how this will ultimately play out, but you have to be pulling for a group like the Antioch College Continuation Corp. I would say this is personification of school pr.

With a heavy heart
Mon, June 29, 2009 @ 6:17PM
Dear Friends, My mother, Alice Palmer, known to many as Nona, died Sunday evening at 9:05 PM with her family at her side in. She suffered a second heart attack early last Wednesday and the damage to her heart was too severe. Thanks for all your prayers. Alice May Palmer, 83, of Dennison, O., passed away on Sunday, June 28, 2009 at Aultman Hospital in Canton, O., following a lengthy illness. Born May 4, 1926 in Uhrichsville, O., she was a daughter of the late Anthony and Edith (Gebelin) Visintainer. Alice grew up in the Twin City area and was the Clay Queen in 1950. She was a graduate of St. Mary’s High School in Dennison in the class of 1944 and had been looking forward to joining her classmates at their sixty-fifth reunion in August. In her younger years, she worked at the former United Bank in Uhrichsville, as well as for the 250 Truckstop for a number of years. On October 30, 1957, Alice married William Wesley Palmer who survives he.

Summer Fun
Tue, June 30, 2009 @ 10:52AM
The calendar flips to July Wednesday and with that people are thinking about Fourth of July activities, Jamboree in the Hills, Italian Festival for sure-fire bets for entertainment. Me however, I am looking ahead to the latter portion of July for the 64th annual Rudy Mumley OVAC All-Star Charity Football Classic. The game is once again slated for Wheeling Island Stadium with a 7:15 p.m. kickoff. The Ohio squad vs. the West Virginia squad, the McDonald's OVAC Band, the OVAC All-Star Cheerleaders, the Queen of Queens, the OVAC extravaganza has something for everyone. The sports lover, the music lover, the pageant lover there's something for you. While it's great to see our recent high school graduates shine one last time in the Ohio Valley before they depart for their lives and careers, it's also time to donate to charity. Proceeds of the event go to the Shriners Hospital.
