CHEERS to the St. Clairsville Main Street Small Business Association for bringing some holiday cheer to the city with its Christmas in July event planned for this Saturday. It should be a merry time.

JEERS to Mother Nature for continuing to bring strong storms through the local region. The potential for flash flooding remains, along with other dangers.

CHEERS to Epworth Park and its annual Chautauqua Days celebration. The weekend events provided food, fun, shopping and activities for people of all ages. We hope it continues for many years to come.

JEERS to the oppressive heat that has many people suffering across the area. Remember that heat can cause health concerns, so remain hydrated and stick to the shade wherever you can.

CHEERS to all the participants — players, band and queens — in this weekend’s OVAC All-Star Game, which kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday at Wheeling Island Stadium.
