POMEROY — Local agricultural producers have until Friday, Jan. 15 to submit applications for Ohio’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to implement conservation practices on their land. This year, Meigs County farmers or ranchers can apply for the general EQIP program or for assistance under two special EQIP projects: Pasture Improvement and Oak Management. Administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, EQIP is a voluntary conservation program which helps producers make conservation work for them. NRCS provides agricultural producers with ﬁnancial resources and one-onone help to plan and implement improvements, or what NRCS calls conservation practices. Using these practices can lead to cleaner water and air, healthier soil and better wildlife habitat, all while improving agricultural operations. Through EQIP, you can voluntarily implement conservation practices, and NRCS co-invests in these practices with you. Together, NRCS and producers invest in solutions that conserve natural resources for the future while also improving agricultural operations, said Carrie Crislip, NRCS district conservationist for Meigs and Jackson counties. Over the past three ﬁscal years, nearly 50 Meigs County producers have received $291,000 in EQIP funding in the form of costshare payments. Financial assistance is now available in a variety of agricultural categories such as cropland, pasture operations, and organic. Several special projects are also available which address water quality, forestry management, improving pollinator populations and wildlife habitat, pasture improvements and many more. In addition to the regular EQIP signup, the Pasture Improvement Special Project funding is being See NRCS | 10 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, December 16, 2020 OBITUARIES PAULINE MAE (SHARP) MAYSE On December 14, 2020 at the age of 89, Pauline Mae (Sharp) Mayse went Beaver, Gallipolis, Ohio to be with the Lord due CIRCLEVILLE — and Vicki (Scott) Mash, to COVID Complications Vernon L.

O’Dells Case XX Knives Courtesy photo The U.S. Navy uniform of the late Frank Nathan Gillespie, pictured, was returned to his family. he moved to Florida.” When he realized that he didn’t have it in his possession, he was extremely grateful she had rescued it. They discussed how she could return the uniform to the family, and it was decided that since he would be passing it to his son Zachary, she could arrange to return it to him. Tennant said returning the uniform became very personal for her, “I don’t have anything from my father’s service in World War II. I knew how much it would mean to me to receive something from my father, it would mean the world to me.” Zachary Gillespie lives in Huron, Ohio, and Tennant said she considered driving there to deliver the uniform in person, but decided, along with Zachary, to mail it instead. “I would have made the drive, but with everything going on with COVID-19, we decided it was best just to mail it.” The uniform, which was indeed treasured and valued by the family, arrived at Zachary’s home in time for Veteran’s Day and the second anniversary of Frank Gillespie’s passing. So the question of how a vendor at the French City Flea Market came to purchase a well cared for Navy uniform at an estate sale had been answered: After Frank’s passing, the family hired an estate agent to liquidate the property, so it had gone with those items to the sale. Greg had no idea it was still in his father’s house when the estate agents picked up the contents, and would never have known what happened to it if Rhonda Tennant had not “rescued it” that day at the market. In memoriam: The obituary for Frank Nathan Gillespie, of Nitro, West Virginia, included that he was born Feb. 9, 1923 and died Nov. 8, 2018. He is buried at Cunningham Memorial Park, St. Albans, West Virginia. He was a graduate of Dunbar High School and Springﬁeld, MA College. While at Springﬁeld College, he was on the gymnastics team. During his college years he worked as a professional circus clown performing on the trampoline and as a juggler. He was also a member of the Barbershop Quartet at Morris Harvey College (University of Charleston) while working on his advanced degree in education. He was a science teacher in St. Albans and served as a counselor and vice principal of the new St. Albans High School and returned to the Junior High School as principal in 1962. Before entering education he worked in and remained involved in the UMCA, teaching, diving, and swimming at the Charleston YMCA. His work in youth programs continued the summer months, working at Tapawingo Farm Camp in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania with his wife Phyllis for over 18 years. His college studies were interrupted by World War II when he enlisted in the U.S.Navy Medical Corp. He served three years at the Medical Research Institute, National Naval Medical Center. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

My father and two brothers both served. As a teacher for over 40 years, I included a lot of patriotic activities throughout the year. I always made sure Veterans Day was covered in our activities. I think it is so important to honor and respect our veterans. To see this beautiful, vintage uniform discarded… I just couldn’t leave it, it seemed disrespectful that it should end up like that.” Veteran recognition is important to Tennant, a local educator and member of the Mason County Board of Education, who has received awards for her efforts including Veterans contributions in her classroom studies from groups on the local, state, and national level, including West Virginia Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year. After agreeing on a price of $20, Tennant took the uniform home along with the box it had been in when purchased by the vendor, who said he had obtained it at an estate sale. She continued to wonder about its history, so she posted a photo of the uniform on Facebook. “As soon as I posted the photo, my Facebook page exploded. There was an outpouring of, ‘You have got to ﬁnd who this belonged to and return it to the family.’” Tennant received some unexpected assistance; her friend Malynda Finley researched the name and found an obituary for Frank Nathan Gillespie who had passed away in 2018. This information enabled Finley to locate his gravesite. With the new information and the encouragement of her Facebook friends, Tennant located the soldier’s only son, Greg Gillespie, and gave him a call. “He was quite surprised when I called to tell him I had the uniform. It had been passed to him by his father, and he was certain he had taken it with him when Wednesday, December 16, 2020 3 GUN AUCTION LUGER GLOCK BROWNING S&W RUGER REMINGTON MILITARY SPRINGFIELD ASSAULT RIFLES THE FOLLOWING GUN COLLECTION WILL BE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER ALONG WITH THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS OF AMMO.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The guests saved their best for last. The Alexander girls basketball team led host Meigs by six points with just over a quarter to play in Monday’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division tilt at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, but the Lady Spartans ﬁnished the night with a 26-to11 run for a 69-48 win. After Alexander (2-0, 1-0 TVC Ohio) scored the opening bucket of the game, Meigs (2-2, 1-2) took its only lead of the night on a triple by Andrea Mahr 1:18 into play. AHS was back in front after a pair of free throws from Marlee Grinstead 17 seconds later, and after the hosts tied it at ﬁve, a foul shot by Kara Meeks gave the guests the lead for good with 4:24 left in the opening stanza. The Lady Spartans were up 16-8 by the end of the ﬁrst, and then started the second period with an 8-0 run. The Lady Marauders fought back to within eight points, at 29-21 with 2:21 left, but the Red and Black made the ﬁnal basket of the half and headed into the break on top 31-21. AHS scored the ﬁrst four points of the second half, before a 16-to-8 run got Meigs to within six points, at 43-37, with 24 seconds left in the third period. Alexander hit a two-pointer to close the third, and then scored eight points in a row to start the ﬁnale. MHS cut its deﬁcit back to single digits, at 53-44, with 4:23 left in regulation, but the Lady Spartans outscored the hosts 16-to-4 over the remainder, hitting 12-of-14 foul shots in the gameclinching run. In the 69-48 decision, AHS made 21-of-29 (72.4 percent) free throws, while Meigs went 10-for-12 (83.3 percent) at the charity stripe. The Lady Marauders were 17-of-56 (30.4 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 4-of-16 (25 percent) from three-point range, while See MEIGS | 9 Trojans pull away from RedStorm men By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Four players combined for all but four of visiting Taylor University’s entire point total as the Trojans pulled away for an 84-69 win over the University of Rio Grande, Monday evening, in non-conference men’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Taylor snapped a three-game losing slide, evening its record at 5-5 with the victory. Rio Grande, which suffered a second consecutive loss, slipped to 4-4. CJ Penha equaled a career-high with 27 points for the Trojans, while Jason Hubbard and Zach Baugher netted 20 points each and Vincent Miranda tossed in 13 in the winning effort. Baugher’s effort represented a new career-high. The game was a back-and-forth affair over the ﬁrst 12-1/2 minutes with one tie and eight lead changes, but Taylor - which had all ﬁve of its starters play 33 minutes or more - went in front to stay, 22-21, on a driving layup by Penha with 7:32 left in the ﬁrst half. The lead grew to 10 points in the waning seconds of the half, but Rio managed to chop the deﬁcit in half and closed the gap to 45-40 after an offensive rebound and putback by freshman Redeetris Richardson (Atlanta, GA) with 17:37 remaining in the game. The Trojans answered, though, by reeling off nine straight points - including back-to-back threepoint goals by Penha - and opening up a 14-point advantage, 54-40, following a free throw by Hubbard with 14:23 left to play. Rio Grande sliced the deﬁcit down to six points on two different occasions, the last of which came at 57-51 following a conventional three-point play by sophomore Miki Tadic (Hilversum, The Netherlands) with 12:18 remaining, but got no closer the rest of the way. Taylor’s largest lead of the night was 16 points, 77-61, after a three-pointer by Miranda with 6:24 left in the contest. The Trojans shot 53.6 percent overall (30-for56), while connecting on 11 three-pointers and out rebounding the RedStorm, 37-26. Hubbard and Miranda also grabbed nine rebounds each for Taylor, while Baugher handed out ﬁve assists. Freshman Andrew Shull (Milton, WV) led a quartet of double-digit scorers for Rio Grande with 17 points. Sophomore Shiloah Blevins (South Webster, OH) tossed in 16 points, while Tadic had 14 and junior Cam Harris (Amelia, VA) netted 13. Tadic also had a game-high three steals, while See RIO | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, Dec. 16 Girls Basketball Eastern at Marietta, 7:15 Thursday, Dec. 17 Girls Basketball Athens at River Valley, 7:30 South Gallia at Waterford, 7:30 Southern at Belpre, 6 p.m. Meigs at Nelsonville-York, 7:30 Friday, Dec. 18 Boys Basketball Meigs at Vinton County, 7:30 South Gallia at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Southern at Trimble, 7:30 Eastern at Belpre, 7:30 College Football UAB at Marshall, 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19 Boys Basketball Southern at Green, 7:30 Girls Basketball Southern at Waterford, noon Wrestling River Valley at Caledonia River Valley, 10 a.m. Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports South Gallia senior Kennedey Lambert (20) dribbles past a Belpre defender during the first half of Monday night’s TVC Hocking girls basketball game in Mercerville, Ohio.

ADVER TISE! �NEWS/WEATHER 10 Wednesday, December 16, 2020 Red Cross urges blood donation NRCS From page 1 offered to producers in 10 southern Ohio counties including Meigs County. Pastures are a predominant agricultural land use in Ohio’s hilly Appalachian region but pose speciﬁc conservation-related issues, Crislip said. Grazing livestock can cause erosion problems in pastures, especially when the ground is wet and when the animals are contained near the farmstead in colder weather. The Pasture Improvement Project will help farmers install conservation practices and manage their pastures in a way that improves the quality of the pasture and the health of grazing livestock, while also protecting natural resources. The conservation practices available through this project include access roads, watering facilities, livestock pipeline, fencing, heavy use area protection, stream crossings, and spring development. The second special project, the Oak Management Special Project is geared towards helping forest landowners interested in restoring their forests. NRCS uses EQIP to restore privately owned oak-hickory woodlands by providing ﬁnancial resources and one-on-one help to plan and implement improvements. Woodland owners in owners in Meigs County can receive both technical assistance from professional foresters and ﬁnancial assistance to implement conservation practices recommended by foresters using EQIP. Commonly used practices include grapevine control, control of invasive species, and tree plantings. To participate in USDA conservation programs, applicants should be farmers, or farm or forest landowners and meet eligibility criteria.
