MIDDLEPORT — A new storage building is under construction at the corner of Park and Page Streets in Middleport to house several pieces of specialized equipment to be used for cleaning and maintaining the new sewer lines which have been installed in the village.

The cost for the construction of the new building and the equipment is a part of the original $7.5 million sewer project funded with grant money and forgiven loans awarded to the village.

The 30x46 foot building being constructed by the general contractor on the sewer line project is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.

Equipment which has already arrived includes a large leaf sweeper truck for use in cleaning out areas filled with debris and reaching into places where brushes can’t go, according to Faymon Roberts, village solicitor. He added that the goal is to keep leaves and other debris from getting into and clogging up the sewer lines and obstructing the flow of water or other content.

A fascinating piece of the new equipment coming to the village at no cost is an outfit which includes a snake with a camera on the end which can be inserted into a sewer line to locate where there is a clog obstructing the flow of water. Whatever the camera in the sewer line picks up is projected onto a screen which gives village employees a location which they can confirm with another separate piece of equipment. This eliminates having to dig up a large section of the street to locate a clog to having only to disturb a small portion to reach and remove whatever is causing the problem.

The purpose of the new building, which will be dry and heated, is for storage of the village’s new equipment which is a part of taking care of the new sewer system.

In addition two large generators are coming for the sewer lift stations, along with a jet vac to do sewer cleaning and track hoe equi9ment.

While funding for some of the equipment was written into the original grant, other pieces are being paid for through some money saved by the construction money as the project moved forward.

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.
