MEIGS COUNTY — The new rest areas being constructed along U.S. 33 in Meigs County are nearly complete according to officials with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 10.

ODOT District 10 Public Information Officer Brenna Slavens said earlier this week that the rest areas should be open in the coming weeks.

“We are waiting to open them until after the water line upgrade project is completed,” said Slavens, estimating two to three weeks left on that project.

The official groundbreaking was held in late July, with work on the treatment plants constructed behind each rest area beginning soon after.

The rest areas closed in early September, with the old buildings being torn down soon after.

But work on modernizing the facilities began long before that time.

During the ground breaking ceremony, several officials spoke about the determination, hard work, and cooperation put forth by officials within the county and at the state level over the past several years.

Plans to modernize the rest area were announced by ODOT in February of this year.

The Meigs County rest areas were moved to the current locations in 1961, according to ODOT, after being located near Middleport beginning in 1938. Since 1961, the rest area has been updated once — in 1987.

The new facility will have running water and flush toilets, something that the current facility does not have.

At the groundbreaking, ODOT District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams said the facilities would be new while not taking away from the rustic look of the area. He added that the facility will look like it belongs in the wooded area it will be located in.

The project was awarded to D.V. Weber Construction, a local Meigs County contractor, in the amount of $444,799.

The rest area on Ohio 7 North in Kanauga was renovated as part of the 2010-11 plan by ODOT. According to the ODOT website, the rest area remains closed.

Slavens estimated that the rest areas on Ohio 7 may open by the first of the year.

MIDDLEPORT — A “Cafe Murder” a comedy/mystery where the audience gets to solve the crime, will be presented by the River City Players at 7 p.m. on Saturday in the Middleport Village Hall auditorium.

The RCP have assembled a comedic cast of veteran performers who Roger Gilmore describes as “having difficulty making it through the rehearsals because they are laughing to hard.”

“Café Murder” is a hilarious murder mystery-comedy for which the River City Players (RCP) Community Theater has assembled a killer (pun-intended) comedic cast. The cast list includes: Celia McCoy as an overbearing, hypochondriacal birthday girl, eldest of five sisters; Dixie Sayre her sister, an aging hippie, paranoid and quite inappropriate; Linda Warner, another sister who is a very proper conservative bank executive, intelligent, and sexually repressed; Jessica Holliday, another sister, self-absorbed, airhead “Valley Girl”; Janis Carnahan, the sister who is a long-haul trucker – rude, crude, and thinks she’s a dude; Gary Walker, a scattered, self-taught detective with a limited vocabulary; Mike Kennedy, an incompetent waiter; Tony Carnahan, a French chef for whom a great deal is lost in translation; and Roger Gilmore, a snooty maitre’d and owner of the restaurant. This talented group of RCP veterans promises to provide a real laugh riot, and you don’t want to miss the fun.

While this will not be a dinner theater presentation, appetizers and desserts will be served prior to and during the performance. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 with advance seating available through the Fabric Shop in Pomeroy or at the door. For more information, visit www.rivercityplayers.org, Facebook River City Players – Middleport, email rcp.showinfo@gmail.com or phone (740) 444-1595.

Mother Nature rains out Tri-County junior golfers

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young men and women playing in the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League are a hardy bunch. However, Mother Nature showed who the boss really was Thursday morning at the scheduled tournament to be played at the Cliffside Golf Course.

Actually, in spite of the heavy rains that fell early Thursday morning, the golf course was very playable and the young ones teed off at approximately 9:30 a.m.. About an hour later, the rains returned washing out the days play.

Thursday’s tournament has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 26, at the Cliffside Golf Course. All players who paid the entry fee for Thursday’s outing will not be charged to play on the 26th. Lunch, because it was available after the rain stopped play Thursday, will not be served on the 26th.

All other scheduled Tri-County Junior Golf Tournaments will be played as scheduled. Next week’s play will be at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with play starting at 8:50 a.m.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young men and women playing in the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League are a hardy bunch. However, Mother Nature showed who the boss really was Thursday morning at the scheduled tournament to be played at the Cliffside Golf Course.

Actually, in spite of the heavy rains that fell early Thursday morning, the golf course was very playable and the young ones teed off at approximately 9:30 a.m.. About an hour later, the rains returned washing out the days play.

Thursday’s tournament has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 26, at the Cliffside Golf Course. All players who paid the entry fee for Thursday’s outing will not be charged to play on the 26th. Lunch, because it was available after the rain stopped play Thursday, will not be served on the 26th.

All other scheduled Tri-County Junior Golf Tournaments will be played as scheduled. Next week’s play will be at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with play starting at 8:50 a.m.

MIDDLEPORT — A “Cafe Murder” a comedy/mystery where the audience gets to solve the crime, will be presented by the River City Players at 7 p.m. on Saturday in the Middleport Village Hall auditorium.

The RCP have assembled a comedic cast of veteran performers who Roger Gilmore describes as “having difficulty making it through the rehearsals because they are laughing to hard.”

“Café Murder” is a hilarious murder mystery-comedy for which the River City Players (RCP) Community Theater has assembled a killer (pun-intended) comedic cast. The cast list includes: Celia McCoy as an overbearing, hypochondriacal birthday girl, eldest of five sisters; Dixie Sayre her sister, an aging hippie, paranoid and quite inappropriate; Linda Warner, another sister who is a very proper conservative bank executive, intelligent, and sexually repressed; Jessica Holliday, another sister, self-absorbed, airhead “Valley Girl”; Janis Carnahan, the sister who is a long-haul trucker – rude, crude, and thinks she’s a dude; Gary Walker, a scattered, self-taught detective with a limited vocabulary; Mike Kennedy, an incompetent waiter; Tony Carnahan, a French chef for whom a great deal is lost in translation; and Roger Gilmore, a snooty maitre’d and owner of the restaurant. This talented group of RCP veterans promises to provide a real laugh riot, and you don’t want to miss the fun.

While this will not be a dinner theater presentation, appetizers and desserts will be served prior to and during the performance. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 with advance seating available through the Fabric Shop in Pomeroy or at the door.
