POMEROY — Cartoonist Jeff Nicholas returned to the Meigs County Public Library in Pomeroy on Wednesday as part of the annual summer reading program.

Nicholas presented a program themed “Dig It?.. Draw It,” to match the overall theme for the summer program which is “Dig in to Reading.”

He told stories using his art, and instructed those in attendance in creating their own cartoon art.

The summer reading program will continue next Wednesday with Jenny Ridenour of the Meigs County Soil and Water Conservation District will present about animals which dig and tunnel.

“Digging into Archaeology” will be the program on June 26 with Dawn Gagliano of Hocking College presenting the program. The program will be held at 2 p.m. at the Pomeroy Library.

Nancy the Turtle Lady will be at the Pomeroy Library on July 3. Programs will be held at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on that day. The morning program is recommended for those age preschool to second grade, with the afternoon program for those grade three and up. While there is recommended ages, anyone can attend either time.

Tom Sparrow the Space Painter will be the presenter on July 10. The program will begin at 2 p.m. at the Pomeroy Library.

The summer reading program is tentatively set to conclude on July 18 with the pool party at Syracuse Pool.

For details on any of the programs or to register, contact the Pomeroy Library at (740) 992-5813.

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.
