Where the peonies grow By Lorna Hart Special to OVP POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Tucked away in the rolling hills near Point Pleasant is a quintessential family farm, complete with a peach orchard, bee hives, greenhouse, a quilt painted on the barn and those peonies. The barn is on the West Virginia Quilt Trail, and was the focal point for visitors until this spring, when a sea of colorful blooming peonies now rivals it for attention. The farm is affectionately called The Ponderosa, and according to Debbie Cottrill Hilbert, the name was coined by their father Charles Cottrill when he purchased the property in the 1970’s. “Dad always called it The Ponderosa,” Hilbert said of the 70-acre farm. “We grew up here and each of his seven children inherited a part of it. We still refer to the farm by that name. For several years we had a very successful peach orchard, but many of the trees died, and the late freeze damaged much of the crop, so we aren’t certain if there will be many peaches this year.” Lorna Hart | Courtesy Hidden amid the blooming peonies is See PEONIES | 8 Hermie, the canine guardian of the property. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Tuesday, June 15, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing JEANNINE MARIE CUNNINGHAM OBITUARIES WILLIAM E. ‘BILL’ CARTER Ohio; Arnold GALLIPOLIS (Margie) Evans, — Jeannine Marie Carter, G.

They The agency wouldn’t are the ﬁrst J&J vaccines specify the size of those batches or why they can’t from Bayview approved for use. be used, but a person The FDA said if any of familiar with the decision told The Associated Press the vaccine is exported, J&J and Emergent must allow the agency to share information about the manufacture of those batches conﬁdentially with regulators in other countries. The FDA statement implied that the batches didn’t meet all of the agency’s manufacturing quality standards. “This review has been taking place while Emergent BioSolutions prepares to resume manufacturing operations with corrective actions to ensure compliance with the FDA’s” manufacturing requirements, Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement. The agency said the vaccines are “critically needed,” given the current public health emergency, and that it made the decisions after reviewing records and the results of quality testing. The FDA, however, stopped short of allowing the plant to restart vaccine production. The agency said it was working through issues there with J&J and Emergent BioSolutions management. Emergent is one of several J&J contractors that produce its one-shot vaccine in bulk. The concentrated vaccine then is shipped to other factories for ﬁnal steps, including diluting them to the correct strength, putting them in vials and packaging them up. Roughly 100 million doses made from bulk vaccine produced at Emergent’s factory, including those just approved for use, had been set aside for additional review by FDA staff after factory employees accidentally contaminated an earlier batch. That contamination led the FDA to shut down the factory in mid-April and send in a team of inspectors. They spent a week going through the factory and reviewing security camera footage that showed employees carelessly handling vaccine materials. The inspectors reported unsanitary conditions, poorly trained employees and other problems. The lapses have hampered J&J’s efforts to be a major player in vaccinating people, particularly in remote areas and poor countries, given that it’s the only drugmaker with an authorized vaccine that only requires one dose and standard refrigeration. It’s also cheaper than some other vaccines. The productions problems have forced J&J to import millions of doses from its factory in the Netherlands to the U.S. and to miss supply commitments. Emergent’s factory had a history of FDA citations for problems including mold, dirty walls and ﬂoors, poorly trained employees and an inadequate strategy to prevent contamination, yet it was given a huge role in COVID-19 vaccine production by the Trump administration. Emergent was handed a lucrative contract to make many millions of COVID-19 vaccines for both J&J and AstraZeneca at the Bayview factory. Emergent’s chief executive has blamed the contamination and other problems on the complexity of scaling up the factory in just months to make two different vaccines. The Biden administration is working to ﬁnd a different American manufacturing partner for the British drugmaker, which has yet to request authorization to distribute it in the U.S. In US, Pride Month festivities muted by political setbacks By David Crary conﬁrming medical treatments, like hormones and puberty blockers, that greatly reduce the risk of It’s Pride Month, and suicide in trans youth. gay Americans should “Our opponents have have a lot to celebrate: A been absolutely shamenew president who has less in their attacks on pledged to advocate for LGBTQ people, an easing transgender people,” said Kevin Jennings, CEO of of a pandemic that has disrupted their communal the LGBTQ-rights group Lambda Legal. activism, and increasing “We know that trans public acceptance of their young people are most basic rights, including marginalized and vulrecord-high support for nerable students in our same-sex marriage. schools — being bullied, Instead, the mood is harassed, mistreated,” somewhat bleak.

Amid the disappointment, Pride festivities are proceeding, but many have been subject to downsizing, postponement and – in some cases — controversy. The Pride parades in San Francisco and Los Angeles have been canceled for a second year in a row, due to uncertainty about COVID-19 restrictions. Organizers are offering smaller in-person events this month. Philadelphia has scrapped its large-scale parade; there are plans for a festival instead on Sept. 4. Chicago’s parade has been rescheduled for Oct. 3. In New York, most events for NYC Pride will take place virtually, as they did last year, though some in-person activities are planned. NYC Pride organizers incurred some criticism last month after banning police and other law enforcement personnel from marching in uniform in the annual parade until at least 2025 and asking that on-duty ofﬁcers keep a block away from the celebration. The Gay Ofﬁcers Action League said it was disheartened by the decision. Some recent developments have encouraged the LGBTQ community – the overturning of a Trump administration ban on transgender people joining the military; the ground-breaking appointments of Pete Buttigieg, who is gay, as transportation secretary, and Dr. Rachel Levine, who is transgender, as assistant secretary of health. And this week, Gallup reported that 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage, the highest number since Gallup began polling on the topic in 1996, when support was at 27%. But to many activists, these developments are offset by setbacks to transgender rights. Amy Allen, mother of a 14-year-old transgender boy in the suburbs of Nashville, said her family is dismayed by the multiple anti-trans bills winning approval in Tennessee – including one exposing public schools to lawsuits if they let transgender students use multi-person bathrooms or locker rooms that don’t reﬂect their sex at birth. ’We’ve done a pretty good job within our family of really supporting him,” Allen said of her son, Adam. “ Then to have this new layer of the legislation — having to think how that could directly affect his day-to-day life just adds more anxiety.” It’s worrisome enough, Allen said, that she and her husband – who have roots in the Northeast – are considering relocating there if Adam’s situation worsens.

In April, we did May numbers … If that trend continues, then we hit June with July numbers, which July is typically our best month our $360,000 month, we expect to maybe see that continue.” The city no longer just collects coins out of meters. There are parking lot terminals that take debit and credit cards and a mobile app called ParkMobile that allows drivers to stop their cars and pay with a click on their smart phone, ofﬁcials said. More traditional ways of measuring tourism are also up in Myrtle Beach. The Chamber of Commerce said hotel occupancy rates are up this summer compared to 2019.

A particular disappointment for activists is the NCCA, which – despite calls for it to take punitive action – located some of this year’s regional softball and baseball tournament games in states that enacted bans on transgender girls’ sports participation. It’s a sharp contrast to the NCAA’s stance ﬁve years ago, when it refused to hold championship events in North Carolina for several months after its legislature passed a bill restricting transgender people’s use of bathrooms in public facilities.

See POST 39 | 7 Lady Knights place 4th in AA meet Cottrill wins shot put, discus crowns; Wood captures high jump title By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A record-setting day … even if it didn’t go perfect. The Point Pleasant girls came away with a program-best three event championships and seven podium ﬁnishes at the 2021 WVSSAC Class AA track and ﬁeld meet held Thursday and Friday at Laidley Field on the campus of the University of Charleston. The Lady Knights had two individuals come away with the three state titles, including a pair from junior Addy Cottrill in both the shot put and discus ﬁnals. Classmate Elicia Wood also notched her ﬁrst career state crown by winning the high jump ﬁnal. Overall, PPHS placed fourth in the Class AA girls meet with 50.5 points. Winﬁeld won the double-A title with 159 points, while North Marion was second out of 23 scoring teams with 55 points. Cottrill — who repeated as state champion in the shot put — joined only Aislyn Hayman (2017) in winning a pair of state championships at the same meet, with both accomplishing the feats in the shot put and discus events. Cottrill also surpassed both Hayman and Alea Hipes for the most individual state titles in a career for a Lady Knight in track and ﬁeld. Cottrill posted a winning heave of 133 feet, 9 inches in the discus and also recorded a victorious throw of 38 feet, one-quarter inch in the shot put. After her record-setting day, Cottrill spoke about the feelings of everything that made the day what was … and what it could mean moving forward. “I felt a lot of pressure coming in as a defending champion in one and as the top qualiﬁer in both, but it has turned into a very exciting and overwhelming day. It’s still a really nice feeling to be a state champion,” Cottrill said. “We’ve never had a three-time state champion in a single girls event and hopefully I’ll be back to defend both of these next year. I have room to improve and I am looking forward to the challenge ahead, but I’m also going to enjoy this moment now. This is a very exciting day for me and my family.” Wood — the lone 4-event qualiﬁer for the Lady Knights this past week — had an assortment of See KNIGHTS | 6 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday, June 15 Softball Man at Wahama, 6 p.m. Parkersburg Post 15, 6 p.m. * — indicates an if necessary third game in the series.

Wood started her day by winning the high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 2 inches. Wood placed third in the same event in 2019 as a freshman, which coincided with teammate Samantha Saunders claiming the high jump crown that spring. Wood stumbled over the ﬁnal obstacle in the 300m hurdles race and was disqualiﬁed for a hurdle violation, then missed out on the 100m hurdles state title by 0.14 seconds with a runner-up effort of 15.95 seconds. Wood joined Skyla Hall, Kendall Connolly and Katelynn Smith in ﬁnishing third in the 4x102.5m shuttle hurdles relay with a mark of 1:10.55. Wood acknowledged that it wasn’t her best day of competition … but it was a day that she was willing to enjoy nonetheless. “It’s deﬁnitely a good feeling to be a state champion, especially since it was the one that I wanted the most coming into the meet. I’ve worked all season for this one and the high jump is my favorite event,” Wood said. “There were some things about the day that could have gone better, but I have another year and at the end of the day … I am a state champion. It’s been a good day.” Kayla Butler ended placing third in the shot put ﬁnal with a throw of 33 feet, 8.25 inches. Hall tied for sixth in the pole vault ﬁnal with a height of 8 feet even. Hall, Smith, Ella Hunt and Brooke Warner just missed the podium in the 4x100m relay with a seventh place time of 54.59 seconds.

The plants were grown in the greenhouse from bare root specimens. Bud is a botanist, and owner of Pro Scape, LLC in Charleston, W.Va. He spends a large portion of his time at the farm, and in addition to the peonies, raised tomato plants for Bob’s Market.

Hermie, the canine guardian of the property, emerges from the ﬁeld. His job is to keep rabbits and deer away from the crop. Hilbert said Hermie recently lost his longtime companion, but has continued to do the job well on his own. “He takes his job very seriously,” Hilbert said. “We really don’t have any problems with deer or rabbits destroying our plants.” “The peonies are so beautiful and fresh, we are hoping some of the local ﬂower shops will be interested once they see the quality of the ﬂowers and the extensive varieties,” Hilbert said. “And we do sell the blossoms to visitors who want bouquets to take home.” The farm is located at 11735 Ripley Road, Point Pleasant.
