The group met Thursday in the Gallipolis Municipal to discuss coming business for the 2016 holiday season — seven months before unveiling their lighting creations in Gallipolis City Park. For the last few years, the group has promoted and constructed light displays in Gallipolis City Park in an attempt to relive holiday experiences many in the community enjoyed as children. Typically, the event features a lighting ceremony in November. The group has taken to hosting a 5K walk and run in May. This year’s 5K event is slated for 7 p.m. May 14. Participants can expect to see lighting and glow displays. The course begins and ends at Gallipolis City Park, wandering First Avenue, Sycamore Street and Vine Street before ending back at the park. An “after-glow” party is anticipated to be held at a local business following the race. More than 400 people pre-registered last year for the “Electric Run” and an additional 100 registered on-site before the race. Traditionally, the race is the group’s largest fundraiser of the year. Last year, Mikayla Edelmann won and was clocked at 21 minutes, 26 seconds. Ethan Hersman won the men’s race with a 17:51 clocking. Gallipolis in Lights started as a series of conversations over social media websites. Gallipolis residents felt that the city, at one point, had become less festive with lighting displays around the holiday season, so individuals banded together to launch the light displays. The organization brought itself together in the winter of 2013 to spread Dean Wright | Times-Sentinel Co-chair Shari Rocchi is seen discussing business with fellow Gallipolis in Lights members Thursday evening in the Gallipolis Municipal Building. displays across Gallipolis City Park and hang “light balls” in trees. The idea for the ornament was made popular in Greensboro, N.C., but was quickly adopted to suit Gallipolis’ needs. Individuals skillfully wrap chicken wire, or some other similar fencing material, into a sphere. Christmas lights, or everpopular LED fixtures, are laced through the wire and then hung on a tree. When done properly, a group of light balls seen in the dark may remind one of a minisolar system hung throughout a back yard or park. The organization has hung about 1,000 lighted balls in the past and is talking about 300 more for the coming season. The group is currently searching for sponsors and volunteers for the upcoming 5K run. According to past information from group member Randy Finney, the group raised more than $35,000 in its lightdecorating mission last year. Dean Wright can be reached at (740) 446-2342, Ext. 2103. GALLIPOLIS — Bossard Memorial Library of Gallia County is offering up a new service for its patrons — a “Book-a-Bike” bicycle lending program. Made possible by a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, awarded by the State Library of Ohio, this program, with an initial fleet of 10 bikes, will officially launch April 19 to library card holders. “Bossard Library strives to meet the educational, recreational and entertainment needs of those in our community,” noted Debbie Saunders, library director. “The goals of this program are three-fold. Primarily, this program will provide patrons with the unique opportunity to borrow a bicycle for riding in town, particularly on Gallia County’s Rails to Trails bike path, which is accessible to patrons by following the Book-a-Bike signage from the library’s Spruce Street location to the bike path, just minutes away. “Secondly, this program will provide patrons with opportunities to be educated on the importance of regular exercise for a healthy body and mind, as well as bicycle safety. Lastly, families can spend quality time together while enjoying a bike ride as they explore the great outdoors. When patrons visit the library to borrow a bike, we hope to see them borrow books as well.” To borrow equipment, a user must have a goodstanding Bossard Library card, be at least 18 years of age and complete a lending agreement. Bicycles may be borrowed for up to three hours at a time.

Next Pay It Forward recipients chosen endoscopy services By Dr. Arthur Fine Pleasant Valley Hospital Pleasant Valley Hospital is dedicated to offering more services at a greater convenience for our patients. That’s why we’re proud to now offer endoscopy services on Saturdays. It’s likely that you’re already familiar with colonoscopies, which locate ulcers, tumors, inflammation, and bleeding in the large intestine. An esophagastroduodenoscopy (EDG) follows a similar procedure, but it allows your physician to view the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. Both methods use an endoscope — a flexible fiber optic tube that has a light and camera attached to it — to view the digestive tract. This is done to look for abnormalities and during that time your physician can remove abnormal growths and protect you from cancers. “Scopes are done for diagnostic purposes,” said Dr. Arthur Fine, MD. “We look mostly at the issues that may be causing pain, heartburn, chest pain, and we even look for anemia.” While an endoscopy is an outpatient procedure, it does require fasting and the assistance of a friend or family member to drive home afterward. That’s what makes Saturday appointments so beneficial to patients. Once completed, you’ll be able to return to normal activities immediately. At PVH, we’re working diligently to expand our services in order to meet the health needs of the community. Finding ways to help you stay at your best makes our entire community richer.

We are proud to say that we’ve been helping people with disabilities for over 25 years. We also want you to see and hear from the people who rely on Social Security disability benefits to not just survive, but thrive, as active members of our communities. Our Faces and Facts of Disability website highlights the real life stories of people who have disabilities. The newest person we are featuring on our Faces and Facts of Disability website is Lynne Parks. She is an artist from Baltimore, Maryland. First diagnosed with metastatic fibrosarcoma at age 14, she has lived with this illness for nearly 35 years. It started in her face and moved to different parts of her body, including her abdomen and leg. She also has various tumors on her shoulder and arm. Inflammatory responses, infections, and new tumors are complications that Lynne deals with every day. “Because of the tumors, I have limited use of my left arm,” Lynne said. “I have weakness in my legs. There’s fatigue because my immune system has taken such a big hit from the cancer and the cancer treatments. I get sick all the time. There might be a day that I can be at home and resting and I’ll try to make the best of it. I’ll wake up, fix breakfast and eat, and that takes a while because of my physical limitations, but also because of my first tumor that was in my face.” Having been helped by Social Security, Lynne tries to help others. “I’m also helping people who have issues learn to cope with them, because they see in me someone as a role model, essentially. Life without Social Security benefits, it’s a horror story, because I imagine myself on the streets.” The disability benefits Lynne receives are a crucial resource for her quality of life. Our disability programs continue to be a mainstay in the lives of many people — people just like you. Social Security disability beneficiaries are among the most severely impaired people in the country. It’s something that can happen to anyone when least expected. We invite you to learn the facts about the disability insurance program, and see and hear these stories of hardship and perseverance at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityfacts.

As we commemorate Earth Day on April 22, we are called upon to recommit to protecting our planet to ensure that the human species and our fellow beings will have a long-term future. Founded in 1970, Earth Day is an internationally celebrated day, honoring the natural systems of the planet, and a day of action in support of climate protection. The commemoration was first proposed by two different people, peace activist John McConnell, who created the iconic Earth Flag, and Senator Gaylord Nelson. In an era of climate crisis, Earth Day reminds us of the urgency and importance of transforming our way of life … today! One resource for this is to reimagine these times as an epochal period of great change, one that many people are calling the Great Turning. The Great Turning is a phrase popularized by many people, including Joanna Macy and David Korten, that describes our current time period as a massive shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization. We may not make this transition in time to prevent catastrophic climate change … but billions of people around the globe are engaged in the three types of actions that support the Great Turning. These three types of actions are: Holding actions to slow the destruction of human-based systems on the Earth and other beings. These activities include all the political, legislative, and legal work required to reduce the destruction, as well as direct actions—blockades, boycotts, civil disobedience, and other forms of noncooperation and nonviolent intervention. These are important to stop the worst of the destruction, but they are not enough on their own; they must be supported by: Creating new systems that support a life-affirming society, including local agriculture, reducing meat consumption, switching to renewable energy, creating mass transit systems, watershed protection and restoration, cooperative housing and ecovillages. And, to support the movement toward these visionary goals, it is also necessary to engage in a … Shifting beliefs away from old concepts of domination, separateness, greed and destruction. We must move towards new understandings of interconnection, general and living systems theory, deep ecology, cooperation, and collaboration. The three dimensions of the Great Turning are equally vital. Look around your community and notice how many people are engaged in one or several aspects of this work. Question your own participation — how do you contribute? What more could you engage in? What excites and intrigues you? For the Great Turning to be successful, we need all hands on deck! How will you be a part of this historic moment? Author/activist Rivera Sun, syndicated by PeaceVoice, is an author and programs coordinator for Campaign Nonviolence. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Sunday, April 17, the 108th day of 2016. There are 258 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 17, 1961, some 1,500 CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an attempt to topple Fidel Castro, whose forces crushed the incursion by the third day. On this date: In 1492, a contract was signed by Christopher Columbus and a representative of Spain’s King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, giving Columbus a commission to seek a westward ocean passage to Asia. In 1861, the Virginia State Convention voted to secede from the Union. In 1905, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Lochner v. New York, struck down, 5-4, a New York State law limiting the number of hours that bakers could be made to work. (This ruling was effectively overturned in 1937 by the high court’s West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish decision.) In 1924, the motion picture studio MetroGoldwyn-Mayer was founded, the result of a merger of Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures, and the Louis B. Mayer Co. In 1937, Daffy Duck made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated cartoon “Porky’s Duck Hunt,” directed by Tex Avery. In 1941, Yugoslavia surrendered to Germany during World War II. In 1964, Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock became the first woman to complete a solo airplane trip around the world as she returned to Columbus, Ohio, after 29 1/2 days in her Cessna 180. Ford Motor Co. unveiled the Mustang at the New York World’s Fair. The first game was played at New York’s Shea Stadium; the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Mets, 4-3. In 1970, Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert splashed down safely in the Pacific, four days after a ruptured oxygen tank crippled their spacecraft while en route to the moon. In 1975, Cambodia’s five-year war ended as the capital Phnom Penh fell to the Khmer Rouge, which instituted brutal, radical policies that claimed an estimated 1.7 million lives until the regime was overthrown in 1979. In 1984, an 11-day police siege began at Libya’s embassy in London when an unidentified shooter inside the building fired on a crowd of protesters, killing police officer Yvonne Fletcher. (The Libyans in the embassy were eventually allowed to leave the country as Britain and Libya severed relations.) Today’s Birthdays: Actor David Bradley is 74. Composer-musician Jan Hammer is 68.

The Blue Angels, which have now lost four of their past five games, fell to 5-6 overall — and an even 3-3 in their first season in the OVC. Rock Hill hammered out 14 hits against Gallia Academy pitcher Hunter Copley, scoring twice in the second inning followed by three runs in the third and finally five in the fourth. The Redwomen led 10-0 entering the bottom of the fifth, with the 10-run mercy rule ready to be enforced, but the Blue Angels avoided that — and the shutout — by scoring all three of their runs. Both teams committed three errors, and Gallia Academy benefited from two of those by Rock Hill in the fifth. Allie Jo Clagg and Makenzie Barr both reached on errors, sandwiched around a Paxton Roberts single. Clagg scored when Barr reached, then Copley scored Roberts and Barr with a two-run double to make it 10-3. Rock Hill hurler Jill Hairston held the Blue Angels to only six hits, including a pair of singles by Shelby Long. Besides Copley’s double and Roberts’ single, Jenna Meadows and Carley Shriver secured hits as well. Hairston walked one while striking out seven, going the distance in the circle along with Copley. Copley walked one with one strikeout, as Riann Keating went a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI to lead the Redwomen. The Blue Angels returned home, and returned to Southeastern Ohio Athletic League action, on Friday with Warren.

Other Raiders winning in field events were Ty VanSickle in the shot put (40-feet, two inches) and Eric Weber in the discus throw (111-feet and nine inches). River Valley also won three of four individual distance events, with Jacob Kemper claiming the 1,600m run (4:57), Garrett Young taking the 3,200m run (11 minutes), and Caleb McKnight winning the 400m dash (59.11 seconds). pboggs@civitasmedia.com Gallia Academy’s Grace Hoffman, left, takes the baton from teammate Erin Lincoln during the girls 4x200m relay as part of Tuesday’s Gallia County track and field meet. Dayton Hardway of the Raiders won the 200m dash (25.65 seconds), while River Valley was also victorious in the 4x100m relay (47.75 seconds). Gallia Academy mounted most of its success in the other three relays — winning the 4x800m (8:56), the 4x200m (1:40.3) and the 4x400m (3:48). The Blue Devils’ only individual wins were Isaiah Lester in the 800m run (2:07) and Kaleb Crisenbery in the high jump (five-feet six-inches). On the girls side, Mary Watts was a triple winner for Gallia Academy, capped off by capturing the high jump with a leap of an even five-feet. Watts, a distance specialist, swept the 1,600m (5:39) and 800m (2:39) runs before opting not to run in the 3,200m. That event was won instead by the Blue Angels’ Mesa Polcyn. Madi Oiler amassed a double win in the two hurdles races (17.08 in the 100m hurdles and 48.83 in the 300m hurdles), as Grace Martin gained the win in the long jump (14-feet, 4 1/4-inches). The Blue Angels’ only other win was in the 4x200m relay, which featured Martin, Oiler, Jamie Canfield and Erin Lincoln. They ran the two-lap sprint in a minute and 55 seconds. The Lady Raiders won the other three relays — running 11:34 in the 4x800m, 57.89 seconds in the 4x100m, and finally 4:28 in the 4x400m. Brianna McGuire was River Valley’s only individual event winner, throwing 88-feet and two inches in the discus.

That’s because, for the third consecutive contest, the Eagles enforced the mercy rule — and rallied to roll the Miller Falcons 16-6 on Thursday in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tilt. But, unlike its back-to-back 10-0 blankings of Federal Hocking (April 8) and Belpre (April 12), Eastern allowed all six of Miller’s runs in the opening inning — before erupting for the final 16. The Eagles are now 7-4, and 6-2 in the TVC-Hocking, while Miller fell to 1-6 both ways. Eastern scored single points in the first, fourth and final frames, sandwiched around a seven-run outburst in the second — and a six-run eruption in the fourth. The game was called following the fifth. As the entire Miller batting order saw the plate in the opening inning, the Falcons combined four hits, two walks and two Eastern errors for their six runs. Garrett Bartley capped the spree, off Eastern pitcher Josh Brewer, with a double. But Brewer gained control and settled down from there, shutting out the Falcons the rest of the way. He walked two batters to lead off the second, but came back for all three outs — including a pair of strikeouts, part of nine Ks overall. He struck out the Falcons for all three outs in the third, sandwiched around an error, a hit and a walk. Brewer retired the side 1-2-3 in the fourth, then struck out three Falcons in the last, as Bartley singled. All dozen of Eastern’s hits were singles, as Ethen Richmond led the way with three — while Kaleb Hill and Nate Durst dialed in for two. Brewer, Austin Coleman, Owen Arix, Cameron Richmond and Jesse Morris each mustered singles. The Eagles ended the game in the fifth, when Hill led off with his third single — and scored two batters later on an Ethen Richmond sacrifice fly. Coleman and Hill had three runs scored, as Brewer, Durst, Dillon Swatzel and Ethen Richmond registered two apiece. Morris and Arix added one run each. The Eagles return home, and return to TVC-Hocking action, on Monday against South Gallia.

Cameron Richmond also allowed three hits and fanned two in an inning of relief work. Smith led Southern with three hits, followed by Harmon and Wolfe with a pair of safeties apiece. Drummer, Pickens, Johnson, Wood, Miller and Clark also had a hit each for the victors. Both Richmonds, Hill and Swatzel had a hit apiece for the guests. Southern salvaged a season split with the Eagles after dropping an 11-3 decision at EHS back on March 29. The Tornadoes have now won two straight and four of their last five overall, while EHS had a three-game winning streak snapped. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. CENTENARY — It’s hard to win if you don’t score. The Gallia Academy baseball team was held scoreless Friday night, as Southeastern Ohio Athletic League guest Warren claimed a 3-0 win, at Eastman Ball Field. The Blue Devils (7-6, 1-3 SEOAL) had their best chance to score in the bottom of the fourth inning, but committed two outs in scoring position to let WHS (6-5, 3-1) escape the inning unscathed. Warren scored the first runs of the game in the top of the fifth inning, as Jake Davis singled home Trace Schafer and Drew Huffman, with two outs. WHS added another run in the top of the sixth inning, when Huffman singled home Schafer. The Blue Devils loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth inning but failed to score as the Warriors got a fly-out to end the inning. After a leadoff single to start the bottom of the seventh, GAHS had three straight ground-outs to end the game, allowing Warren to take the 3-0 decision. Tanner Neal earned the pitching victory for the Warriors, allowing nine hits, while striking out one batter in a complete game shutout. GAHS junior Jeremy Brumfield was the losing pitcher of record, after striking out one and allowing three earned runs on nine hits and two walks. Gallia Academy senior Eric Ward was 2-for-4 at the plate to lead the hosts, while Brumfield, Kole Carter, Anthony Sipple, Ryan Terry, John Stout, Josh Faro and Braden Simms each had one single in the setback. Huffman was 2-for-3 with one run scored and one RBI to lead the Warriors, while Schafer was 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Davis was 1-for-4 with two runs batted in for WHS, while Neal, Brice Gandee, Chase Weihl and Trace Congleton each singled once. Congleton had the game’s lone stolen base in the second inning. Warren also defeated the Blue Devils on April 5, by a 6-5 count in Vincent. WHS left nine runners on base in the win, while Gallia Academy stranded 10 runners. Both teams committed one error in the tilt. The Blue Devils faced Coal Grove in Ohio Valley Conference action on Saturday, and will return to the diamond on Monday, when Ironton visits Eastman Ball Field.

That’s because, despite deadlocked with the visiting River Valley Raiders 2-2 in the fourth inning, the Marauders sent 12 batters to the plate in the frame — and ultimately came away with a 12-2 mercy-rule win at Dreams Field. Meigs scored single runs in the first and third innings, then exploded for seven runs on eight hits in the fourth to essentially put the game out of reach. The Marauders cleaned up in the fifth for the 10-run mercy rule, plating the final three runs on five hits for the 12-2 final. The win was the second consecutive for the Marauders, as Thursday’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division makeup matchup moved Meigs’ marks to 9-2 and 5-1 in the league. Meigs still trails TVCOhio leader Alexander (5-0), as Alexander and Wellston (3-1 TVC-Ohio) were scheduled to play in the division on Friday.

Perhaps that’s why they were just a bit flat for Thursday, as the Raiders scored once in their opening at-bat — as the result of two Marauder errors. Sydney Little led off and scored the game’s opening run. Meigs matched that in the bottom of the first, when Devyn Oliver led off by reaching on a Raider error before scoring. After a scoreless second, the Marauders moved ahead 2-1 — thanks to a leadoff single by Taylor Swartz, another Raider error, and an RBIgroundout by Sadie Fox. River Valley forged the 2-2 tie in the fourth — when Ashley Gilmore led off with a single, stole second, advanced on a groundout, and then scored on a single by Cori Williams. After that, it was all Marauders with the final 10 runs, as they finished with 15 hits off Gilmore. Swartz and Danielle Morris led the way with three hits, as Swartz posted a pair of doubles, including a three-run twobagger in the fourth. Alliyah Pullins, who walked in the opening inning, and Katie Gilkey gained two hits apiece — as Pullins ripped a tworun triple and Gilkey an RBI-single in the fifth. Morgan Lodwick doubled, as Oliver, Fox, Bre Colburn and Peyton Rowe all singled — with Swartz scoring three times and Oliver and Pullins twice. Colburn was also hit by a Gilmore pitch in the fourth. Lodwick went the distance for the pitching victory, allowing only four hits including a second-inning double by Williams. Little landed a single in the third, as Lodwick’s only strikeouts came on all three outs in the second. She did not walk a batter, retired the side 1-2-3 in the fifth, and saw the minimum three Raiders in the third. She faced four Raiders apiece in the opening two cantos, before facing five Raiders in the fourth. River Valley, which visited Vinton County on Friday, fell to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in the TVC-Ohio with the loss. The Marauders begin the second half of league action on Monday at Athens. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Blue Devils drop 2 tennis matches By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com They say that all good things must come to an end. For the Gallia Academy High School tennis team, its lengthy winning streak in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League ran into an “Ironmen” wall on Thursday. The Blue Devils — the three-time defending SEOAL champion — had its 28-match league win steak snapped by the Jackson Ironmen, as Jackson defeated Gallia Academy 4-1 at Jackson’s YMCA Courts. The loss actually marked the second in as many days for the Blue Devils, which fell against visiting Wheelersburg 3-2 in a non-league duel on Wednesday. But prior to Thursday, the Blue Devils last lost in league play on April 23, 2012 — when Portsmouth beat them 3-2 en route to winning that season’s conference championship (2012). Gallia Academy is now 3-2 on the season, and 1-1 in the SEOAL. Jackson is 2-0 in the league, as Gallia Academy (April 4) and Jackson (April 11) both had league matches against Athens postponed in the past two weeks. Athens is 1-0 in the SEOAL, thanks to its 3-2 triumph over Logan on Thursday. The Bulldogs’ makeup matchups against Jackson (April 26) and Gallia Academy (April 27) are set for the end of this month, as Logan has played all three of its matches — and is 0-3. Against the Ironmen, Gallia Academy’s only victory was junior Miles Cornwell at second singles. He swept Evan Coyan 6-1, 6-1. Jackson junior Connor Radune blanked Adriana Wilcoxon at first singles (6-0, 6-0), while Austin Evans swept the Blue Devils’ Dekota Metzler at third singles 6-1, 6-3. The Ironmen also swept the two doubles encounters, including Celeste Stiltner and Christian Stepp at second doubles over Olivia Meadows and Katie Carpenter (6-1, 6-1). At first doubles, Caden Southard and Travis Stevens of Jackson won a three-set contest over Gallia Academy’s Pierce Wilcoxon and MiKayla Edelmann. The Blue Devil duo won the first set 7-5, but dropped the final two sets by identical 6-4 scores. On Wednesday with Wheelersburg, Gallia Academy swept the second and third singles matches in straight sets. Cornwell swept Zach Colley at second singles 6-3, 6-4, while Adriana Wilcoxon claimed a 6-0, 6-1 win over the Pirates’ Isaac Mullins. In a three-set first singles bout, Drew Jackson of Wheelersburg outlasted Pierce Wilcoxon 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. The Pirates rolled to wins in the two doubles tilts, as Zack Jordan and Ben Allen blanked Metzler and Meadows at first (6-0, 6-0). Tait Nelson and Seth Pertuset swept Edelmann and Jenelle Stevens at second doubles 6-1, 6-1. Gallia Academy returns home, and returns to SEOAL action, against Athens on Monday.

The Rebels scored their lone run of the game in the bottom of the fifth, and Wahama claimed the 17-1 win.

Christian Mattox, Kaileb Sheets and Chase Whitlatch led off with doubles, followed by Bartrum with an RBI-single. Sheets drove in Mattox and Whitlatch scored Sheets, as Layne Acree also singled for the fifth straight hit. The Marauders rapped out a dozen hits off Ragan, who also walked two and struck out four in going the distance on the mound. Mattox and Whitlatch singled and scored in the opening inning, as Mattox had a two-out single to score Luke Musser — who reached on an error — in the second. Whitlatch led off the third with a walk, then scored on an RBI-single by Bartrum. In the fourth, K.J. Tracy, Sheets and Whitlatch all singled — with Sheets driving in Tracy for the 5-0 lead. Musser also reached on a walk in the sixth. Meanwhile, Bartrum was on cruise control on the pitcher’s mound, striking out a dozen Raiders — including for all three outs in the first inning and for two outs apiece in the second, third and fifth. He retired the Raiders 1-2-3 in the second and fifth frames, and faced the minimum three in the fourth and last. He faced four Raiders apiece in the first and third, scattering only three hits in gaining the complete-game win. Besides the baserunners in the sixth, Bainter reached on the Marauders’ only error in the first, followed by singles by Ragan in the third, Austin Ragan in the fourth, and finally Bailey Rhodes in the seventh. 60650860 �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, April 17, 2016 s Section C Dutch seeks war hero photos Courtesy photo AT LEFT, Pfc.

Ohio Valley men among memorialized U.S. soldiers killed during WWII By Joshua Keeran jkeeran@civitasmedia.com Former President John F. Kennedy once said, “The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it.” While the families of American soldiers who have died in defense of freedom throughout the world know too well the harsh reality behind Kennedy’s famous words, there are foreign nations like the Netherlands where the locals continue to pay their respects to those men and women in the U.S. military who gave the ultimate sacrifice over seven decades ago so they could live in freedom. Ever since the people of the Netherlands were freed from Nazi Germany occupation on May 5, 1945, by Allied Forces, the Dutch have been paying their respects to the American soldiers who died in nearby battles during World War II by adopting their grave or name on the Tablets of the Missing at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial. Located in the Dutch city of Margraten, the permanent American military cemetery is overseen by the American Battle Monuments Commission, an agency of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government. The cemetery contains 8,301 graves and a Tablets of the Missing memorial, which contains the names of 1,722 American soldiers missing in action. Three of those Margraten graves contains the remains of Ohio Valley natives Pvt. Lawrence I. Fellure, of Gallia County, Ohio; Pfc. George M. Gillilan of Meigs County, Ohio; and 2nd Lt. Monroe J. Lehmann, of Mason County, W.Va. Fellure served with the 119th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division and was killed in action Nov. 28, 1944, near Inden/Altdorf, Germany. He was awarded a Purple Heart. Gillilan was with the 273rd Infantry Regiment, 69th Infantry Division when he was killed in action April 18, 1945, in Germany. He was awarded a Purple Heart. Lehman was with the 67th Armored Regiment, 2nd Battalion, F Co., when he was killed in action Nov. 16, 1944 near Beggendorf-Baesweiler, Germany. The Fields of Honor website states Lehman was killed when an armor-piercing shell hit his tank at a range of 300 yards. Dutchman Sebastiaan Vonk is one of the thousands of residents of the Netherlands who currently adopts one or more of the 10,023 graves and/or names located in the cemetery. He adopted his first grave at the age of 13. “Ever since the end of WWII, people have adopted the graves of these men WANTED: PHOTOS OF OHIO VALLEY SOLDIERS The website is currently looking for photos of the following Ohio Valley soldiers buried in Margraten, The Netherlands, and HenriChapelle and Ardenne in Belgium: 2nd Lt. Monroe J. Lehmann, of Mason County, W.Va.; Pfc. George M. Gillilan, of Meigs County; Pvt. Alfred R. McCarley, of Gallia County; Pfc. Ray A. Wolfe, of Meigs County; and Pvt. William J. Freeman Jr., of Meigs County. If someone has a photo or more information about any of the aforementioned Ohio Valley soldiers, email info@ fieldsofhonor-database.com. and women out of a deeply heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices that they made for our freedom,” Vonk said. “They truly are our liberators and heroes.” Vonk added the “Adopt-AGrave” program, which was founded in 1945 by Dutch citizens, currently has a waiting list of 300 Dutch wishing to adopt a grave or name in the Margraten cemetery. “As part of adopting the grave, many visit the graves regularly to bring flowers,” he said. “Moreover, many have conducted research on the soldier whose grave they have adopted, hoping to learn more about them. It was, and it is, not uncommon that adopters correspond with the soldiers’ families. In fact, transatlantic friendships between families that began just after the war continue to exist today in some cases.” Unfortunately, many adopters have been unable to locate the one thing in particular they’ve sought out to find — a photograph of the American soldier who died so the Netherlands could be liberated. Vonk has been helping his fellow Dutchmen put a face to the name of the soldier they’ve adopted through the Fields of Honor Database, a website he developed in 2007 at the age of 14 to collect and display information and photographs of the nearly 24,000 American soldiers buried in Margraten and two other American military cemeteries in Belgium (Ardennes and HenriChapelle). The Faces of Margraten tribute born To mark the 70th anniversary of the Netherlands’ liberation from Nazi Germany occupation, a Dutch nonprofit known as the Foundation United Adopters American War Graves, which Vonk serves as chairman of and helped found in 2011, put together the first Faces of Photos courtesy of Sebastiaan Vonk ABOVE, pictured is an overhead look at the inaugural The Faces of Margraten tribute held in May 2015 at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial located in Margraten, Netherlands. BELOW, pictured walking around the graves of U.S. soldiers buried in the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten, Netherlands, are some of the estimated 25,000 people who visited the cemetery in May 2015 for the inaugural The Faces of Margraten tribute. Margraten event in May 2015. Leading up to the tribute, which was attended by 25,000 people, the foundation called on volunteers to help find photographs of the soldiers buried or memorialized in Margraten that had yet to be found and posted to the Fields of Honor Database. With the help of countless volunteers, the foundation was able to locate photographs for 3,300 of the 10,000-plus soldiers. From May 2-5, 2015, these photographs were placed beside the graves and in front of the Tablets of the Missing at the cemetery. “For the first time in 70 years, our liberators were literally given a face, and not just on the Internet,” Vonk said. “The 3,300 photos were testimony to many individual lives that were lost during the war.” With the second annual The Faces of Margraten tribute scheduled to take place May 1-5, the race is on to find additional photographs to put even more faces to the names. “We expect to have 4,000 photos on display this year,” Vonk said. “Soldiers’ families continue to contact us with additional photos, and we have been able to successfully reach out to other families through the U.S. media. “It is just very important for us that we get the word out about this project, and I would like to call on everyone to help spread the word. We have 4,000 faces now, but sadly, 6,000 are still missing,” he added.

For families unsure if their loved one is buried in Margraten, they can search cemetery records by visiting www.fieldsofhonor-database. com. The website also contains information for American soldiers buried in Belgium at the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery as well as at Ardennes American Cemetery. According to the database, the following soldiers with ties to the Ohio Valley are buried in Belgium: Pvt. Alfred R. McCarley (Gallia, buried in Henri-Chapelle), Pvt. Royce E. Meacham (Gallia, buried in Henri-Chapelle), Pfc. Ray A. Wolfe (Meigs, buried in HenriChapelle), Pvt. William J. Freeman Jr. (Meigs, buried in Henri-Chapelle), Pfc. Donald V. Peck (Mason, buried in HenriChapelle). McCarley, of Huntington Township, was 25 and serving with the 22nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Battalion, K Co., when he was killed in action Nov. 26, 1944 in the vicinity of Grosshau, Germany. He was awarded a Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster. Meachem, born in Erie County, Pa., but whose hometown is listed as Gallia County, Ohio, was with the 83rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Armored Division when he died of his wounds (DOW) on Dec. 25, 1944, in Belgium. He was awarded a Purple Heart and was a chiropractor before his enlistment. See HERO | 2C �LOCAL 2C Sunday, April 17, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel How taxpayer dollars fund public health in Meigs Co.

MASON, W.Va. — Wahama High School social studies teacher Catherine Hamm has been named the StewartJohnson V.F.W. Post 9926 “Teacher of the Year.” Hamm was presented a certificate by the Mason post and will be honored again at the V.F.W. Loyalty Day in May. In making the presentation, V.F.W. member Ray Varian cited the increase in patriotism shown by the Bend Area students over the past few years and credited Hamm with helping to make that happen. “We have seen increased participation in our ‘Patriot’s Pen’ and ‘Voice of Democracy’ competitions in the high school,” Varian said. “Mrs. Hamm has also helped build up these programs.” Hamm has taught at Wahama since 2008. A self-proclaimed “military brat,” the teacher said she once won her own school’s “Voice of Democracy” contest. Hamm’s parents are retired U.S. Marine CW4 William Adkins and wife, Sara. Her husband is retired U.S. Marine CSM Barry Hamm, so she is well aware of the sacrifices military personnel and their families make. “I’ve always been very Photo courtesy of Mindy Kearns Catherine Hamm, social studies instructor at Wahama High School, has been named the StewartJohnson V.F.W. Post 9926 “Teacher of the Year.” At the Bend Area school since 2008, Hamm was cited for instilling patriotism among the students, as well as increasing participation in V.F.W. programs. Pictured with Hamm is V.F.W. member Ray Varian, who presented her with a certificate. Hamm will also be recognized at the Loyalty Day in May. proud of being a military brat because of the opportunity to be part of an incredible legacy of service, honor and sacrifice,” Hamm said. She added duty is very important to her and she hopes to instill that quality in her students. Hamm recently established a Rho Kappa organization in the school, which is an honor society for top social studies students. “I want them to understand that we represent something greater than ourselves — that our legacy means we have a higher standard to uphold,” she said. “Wahama students are very patriotic and have great respect for our veterans and service men and women.” Hamm stated when it comes to the V.F.W. programs, she tells the students to write from the heart. She said she talks to them about the service and sacrifice of the military, and what it means to be a good citizen. “In the end, I tell them to write from the heart,” Hamm said. “Write about the feeling they get when they say the Pledge of Allegiance or see someone in uniform. I encourage them to think about all the patriots who came before them and the belief those great men and women had in their country.” Hamm said she is humbled to receive the honor from the veterans, and added they provide opportunities for the students, as well as creating a connection. She stated the V.F.W. programs are great opportunities for writing and public speaking, but also so much more. “It will help develop citizenship traits and love of country,” Hamm said. “Those are qualities that benefit our students, our community and, most of all, our country.” Mindy Kearns is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing who lives in Mason County, W.Va.
