25 masters — with 13 students
earning multiple degrees.

But one member of the
graduating class stood out as
Student Senate President Brittany Piccone became the first

for the honor and challenged
each of her fellow graduates
to follow their heart.
“I encourage you all … as
you begin job searching or
continuing education, or
any other decision you have
to make, pick the path that
will truly make you happy,”

Piccone said. “You may not
be the richest person in the
world, but you will love what
you do and that will make
all the difference. I congratulate everyone today on your
achievement; it is no small
feat to graduate from college.
I wish you all the best of luck
and hope you remember your
experience at Rio Grande as

Making good choices

Meigs approves
resolution
to repair roads
By Lindsay Kriz

lkriz@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners on Thursday approved a resolution from Meigs
County Engineer Gene Triplett, who advised the
commissioners to declare an emergency due to the
slippage because of recent rains on the county’s
roads.
Those roads include C10, Carpenter Hill; C18,
Kingsbury; C32 Eagle Ridge; and C38 Flood Road.
According to the commissioners, Triplett
stressed the importance of those particular roads
to the county highway system and that their continuing deterioration warranted immediate repair.
The trio also approved preliminary legislation
for the highway department, which authorizes
Triplett complete a county guardrail project.
The court of appeals will be paid out of a line
item in the budget totaling $2,025.61. According to Commissioner Randy Smith, each county
in the state is required by law to pay the court of
appeals. Last year’s money for the payment was
rolled over to this year, but wasn’t enough for the
payment, causing the need for the appropriation
increase.
The men approved a subordination agreement
that allows Ohio Valley Bank to be the primary
mortgage holder for Brenda Leslie’s CHIP property in the amount of $62,300. Another subordination agreement was approved for Quicken
Loans’ Lien to be the primary mortgage holder for
Carolee Richards’ CHIP property in the amount of
$60,500.
Jacob Hoback was hired as a temporary intern
for the summer, retroactive to April 6 with no
official end date decided upon yet. The commissioners also received bituminous bids and referred
them to the county engineer. Members also
approved a request from Ron Adkins, executive
director of the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services,
to appoint Michael Struble, of Syracuse, to the
board. Struble will fill the expired term of Sally
Ball, which ends June 30. His first term appointment will last from July 1, 2015 through June 30,
2019.
The men also wanted to remind the community
about the prayer event at 3 p.m. Sunday, in which
people will gather around the courthouse and pray
for the office holders and employees of the building.
Smith also announced that a group called the
“Meigs County Home Rule Committee” has left
a copy of a petition for submission of a proposed
county charter to possibly be put on a future ballot. The first line of the petition reads “We, the
people of the County of Meigs, by this Charter
secure the right of all County residents to participate in local government, which right is presently
unavailable to residents under the statutory form
of County government.”
The rest of the charter can be read in the commissioners’ office. Smith said the copy in the
office can’t be signed as it’s only a copy.
Lastly, the commissioners announced that
they can no longer afford to help pay for summer
festivals. Smith explained that in the past, the
commissioners had extra money from the Community Improvement Corporation to help fund
community projects. The CIC owns a building that
they are leasing to AEP, which is where the extra
money came from. However, this year the building is in need of repair, so any lease money from
AEP will go into repairs instead of coming to the
commissioners in the form of extra money for the
community.
The next commissioners meeting will be 11 a.m.
May 7.

States are 65 or older. By 2035, the U.S. Census
Bureau projects this number will double, which
makes improving the quality of life for older
Americans even more important as we look to the
future. It is Social Security’s priority to provide a
safety net for older Americans. You can learn more
about Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov.
The main reason Social Security was established 80 years ago was to help older Americans.
For many older Americans, Social Security
benefits are their only source of retirement
income. Social Security payments continue for
life and are adjusted to keep pace with inflation.
The American Association of Retired Persons
(AARP) estimates that these benefits help keep
35 percent of older Americans out of poverty.
A great tool for people of all ages is the my
Social Security account. With a personalized my
Social Security account, you can:

Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount and join
the millions of people who have already created
accounts to help them plan for retirement.
This May also marks the 50th anniversary of the
Older Americans Act. Congress passed the Act
in 1965 in response to a lack of community social
services for older persons. Medicare, in effect
since July 1, 1966, will also celebrate its 50th anniversary soon. Medicare provides health insurance
to more than 42 million Americans age 65 and
older. If you aren’t familiar with the four parts of
Medicare, they are:
�FWhj�7��^eif_jWb�_dikhWdY[�0�&gt;eif_jWb�_dikhance helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or

Forest Service hopes to create wildlife habitats
Public hearing set for May 26 for
Buckeye Habitat Improvement Project
NELSONVILLE — The
Wayne National Forest’s
Ironton Ranger District is
seeking public comments
by May 26 on a proposal
that is intended to create
diverse wildlife habitats
within the project area,
while supporting local
economies.
The Buckeye Habitat
Improvement Project is
in the general area east
of State Route 93, west
of SR 141, north of Aid
and south of Oak Hill.
Symmes Creek flows
through the project area.
This location is within
Jackson, Gallia and Lawrence Counties. The project area is 54,970 acres
and includes an estimated
25,986 acres of national
forest system land and
28,983 acres of non-NFS
land, though habitat
improvement activities
would not occur on nonNFS.
A portion of the Vesuvius Horse Trail is within
the southwest part of
the project area and the
Symmes Creek-Morgan
Sisters Hiking Trail is
within the northern part
of the project area.

The purpose of this
project is to create
diverse wildlife habitats
by:Creating early successional hardwood forests;
Creating early successional native pine forests;
Creating herbaceous or
herbaceous/shrub habitat;
Improving forest
health;
Restoring and maintaining oak-hickory forest;
Enhancing wildlife and
plant micro-habitats; and
Improving fire regime
condition class (FRCC).
In southeast Ohio, oakhickory forests, native
pine forests and early
successional forests (i.e.
young, brushy forests)
play an integral role in
native ecosystems, providing food and shelter
for a variety of plants and
animals. Oaks native to
this region support moer
than 500 species of moths
and butterflies. Oakhickory forests provide
nuts that make up the
primary fall and winter
food for various wildlife
species such as blue jay,
wood duck, raccoon,
black bear, deer, turkey
and bobwhite.

Native pine forests supply nesting and foraging
areas for many bird and
small mammal species
and provide thermal
cover for wildlife particularly during adverse
winter conditions. Early
successional forests are
characterized by thick
brush and young trees.
They are an important
habitat for approximately
35 percent of the land
animals that are known to
occur on the WNF.
During the winter
of 2003, an ice storm
occurred over a fourstate region. In Ohio,
the area including the
IRD was heavily hit with
11-23 inches of snow and
ice. This ice storm had
far-reaching impacts to
forests; initially breaking
crowns and subsequently
triggering the onset of
forest insects and disease
that continue to degrade
forest health. The proposed action includes timber harvest treatments to
regenerate forests, create
grassy/shrubby openings
within forests, or thin
forests; and non-harvest
treatments to foster

conditions favorable for
oaks, hickories and native
pines. Prescribed fire, herbicides and road construction would be included.
The project would be
implemented over many
years (10-20 years).
Detailed information about the project
proposal, including an
interactive project map,
is available on the project
webpage found at:
http://www.fs.usda.gov/
projects/wayne/landmanagement/projects

If approved, the project
will contain requirements
necessary to ensure full
compliance with laws,
regulations, policies and
the Forest Plan direction.
Public comments can
be made to Patrick Mercer at the IRD, 6518 State
Route 93, Pedro, Ohio,
by May, 26, specifically
stating that they are in
reference to the scoping
period for the Buckeye
Habitat Improvement
Project. For comments to
be considered, they must

directly relate to the proposed action to a resource
impact. Include your
name, current physical
mailing address, phone
number and signature or
other verification of identity with your comments.
People may also call
to discuss this project at
(740) 534-6500 during
normal business hours (8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday) or submit
comments electronically

By Bryan Walters

River Valley junior Ashley Gilmore (2) swings at a pitch during an April 27 TVC
Ohio softball contest against Meigs in Rocksprings, Ohio. Gilmore had a two-run
home in the seventh inning Friday against Athens in an 11-8 setback.

CHESHIRE, Ohio — A slow
start was ultimately too much
for the River Valley softball
team to overcome Friday night
following an 11-8 setback to
visiting Athens in a Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division
matchup in Gallia County.
The Lady Raiders (9-12,
3-8 TVC Ohio) fell behind 7-0
after a half inning of play, but
the hosts kept battling the rest
of the way by outscoring the
Lady Bulldogs (6-14, 5-6) by
an 8-4 margin. Unfortunately
for RVHS, the early hole was
simply too much to climb out
of.
The Lady Raiders plated two

runs in the third to close to
within 7-2, but AHS answered
with three runs in the top of
the fifth to extend its lead
out to 10-2. RVHS plated two
runs in each of the next three
innings and Athens tacked on
an insurance run in the sixth to
wrap up the three-run triumph.
The Lady Bulldogs outhit
the hosts by a 10-5 overall
margin and committed six of
the eight errors in the contest.
The Lady Raiders stranded
seven runners on base, while
the guests left six on the bags.
Athens also claimed a season
sweep after posting a 7-6 win
at home back on April 15.
Ashley Gilmore took the loss
after surrendering 11 runs, 10
hits and six walks over seven

innings while fanning two.
Kat Kontel was the winner
after allowing eight runs, five
hits and four walks over seven
frames while striking out five.
Chelsea Copley led RVHS
with two hits and three RBIs,
followed by Gilmore, Amanda
Eddy and Alexis Hurt with
a safety apiece. Gilmore also
had a two-run homer in the
seventh to drive in two RBIs,
while Eddy led the hosts with
two runs scored.
Kontel and Carey each hit
home runs en route to leading
Athens. Carey had three hits
and three RBIs for the victors,
while Kontel produced four
RBIs and two safeties.

Marauders
fend off NY, 2-0
By Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

NELSONVILLE, Ohio
— One night after knocking Alexander out of the
league lead with a 6-5 victory, the Meigs baseball
team followed things up
Thursday by claiming
a season sweep of host
Nelsonville-York with a
2-0 decision in a Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division
matchup in Athens County.
The visiting Marauders
(9-7, 8-2 TVC Ohio) picked
up their third straight victory and remained tied
with AHS for second place
in the standings. MHS also
posted an 11-1 win over the
Buckeyes (7-6, 5-5) in the
previous matchup back on
April 23 in Rocksprings.
NYHS outhit the guests
by a 6-4 overall margin and
committed the only error
of the game, but the final
outcome came down to
taking advantage of limited
opportunities. The Buckeyes stranded six runners
on base, while the Maraud-

ers left four on the bags.
Nelsonville-York had four
hits and four runners left
on base through two scoreless innings of play, then
MHS took a permanent
lead in the top of the third
after Christian Mattox
walked and later scored
on an RBI-single by Ray
Johnson.
Johnson later singled and
scored in the fifth following an RBI-single by Chase
Whitlatch, which wrapped
up the 2-0 decision.
Cameron Mattox was
the winning pitcher of
record after allowing six
hits and striking out seven
over five innings of work.
Dobbs suffered the setback
after allowing two earned
runs, four hits and one
walk over seven frames
while fanning four.
Johnson led Meigs with
two hits, followed by Whitlatch and Luke Musser with
a safety apiece. Tompkins
led NYHS with two hits.

Miller Falcons
sweep Southern
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

HEMLOCK, Ohio — So close, but yet so far away.
The Miller baseball team claimed it’s second one-run
victory over Southern in the past four days, as the Falcons
earned a 5-4 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division win,
Thursday in Perry County.
The Tornadoes (7-11, 4-9 TVC Hocking), who have lost
four straight games, pushed across one run in the top of the
first inning as sophomore Blake Johnson drew a walk, stole
a base and scored on a passed ball.
Miller (8-7, 7-7) tied the game with a run in the bottom
of the second, and the Falcons claimed a 3-1 after posting a
run in both the third and fourth innings. Southern stormed
to a 4-3 lead with a three run fifth inning, highlighted by a
two-run single by SHS senior Jack Lemley.
The Southern lead was short-lived however, as a two-run
double by Garrett Bartley gave the Falcons a 5-4 lead in the
bottom of the sixth. The Tornadoes managed just one hit
over the final two frames and Miller claimed the 5-4 victory.
Dakota Wilson earned the pitching victory for MHS,
striking out three and allowing one unearned run on two
hits and a walk in three frames. Miller starting pitcher,
Chris Gamble surrendered three runs, one earned, on three
hits and two walks, while striking out nine in four innings.
SHS sophomore Trey Pickens suffered the setback, after
striking out five and allowing five runs, three earned, on

Lemley led the Purple and Gold at the plate with a
double, a single and two RBI, while Clayton Wood doubled.
Pickens and Garrett Wolfe both singled, Johnson scored a

base. Bartley doubled and drove in two runs, Tylor Newman singled and drove in one run, while Cole Geil singled
and scored once. Austin Doughty scored once and stole a
base, while Gamble scored once in the win.

at Eastern.

Tawney signs with SCC wrestling

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports

Gallia Academy wrestling standout Cole Tawney signed his letter of intent to join the St. Catherine College Patriots next season on
Tuesday at the GAHS media conference center. “This is a big deal for me. Wrestling in college is what I’ve always wanted to do, it
just makes it a lot better that I’m going to be debt-free when I’m done,” Tawney said. “Now I’m ready to start training for my goal
of a national title.” Tawney, who is tied for GAHS record with 177 wins, is the only Blue Devil grappler to reach the OHSAA state
tournament three times. “I’m very proud of Cole for signing with St. Catherine,” Blue Devils wrestling coach Scott Stanley said. “He’s
a hard worker, he takes time to help others and he’s always taken time in the off season to work on his wrestling. He’s strived for this
for years, he works hard and he deserves it.” Tawney, who has been named All-Ohio twice in his career, finished his senior campaign
with a record of 44-6. He is the only two-time state podium finisher at GAHS and holds the school record for pinfalls at 119. St.
Catherine is a member of the Mid-South Conference and sent three grapplers to the NAIA National Championships in 2015. Cole
currently holds a 2.9 grade point average and will major in Education at SCC. Pictured above, sitting in front from left, are Morgan

Lady

Eagles shut
down Lady Cats

By Bryan Walters

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — A mercy rule win
with a cherry on top.
The Eastern softball team earned its seventh
straight victory Thursday night, defeating Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Waterford
10-0 in five innings, thanks in part to a no-hitter
thrown by sophomore Jess Coleman.
The Lady Eagles (14-1, 13-0 TVC Hocking)
scored twice in the second inning, breaking the
scoreless tie. Eastern added four runs in the third
frame and four more fifth to seal the 10-0 win.
Coleman threw five no-hit, shutout innings,
striking out eight, walking three and hitting one
batter. Jordan Taylor suffered the setback for
Waterford (3-12, 3-9), striking out one and allowing 10 runs on six hits and three walks.
Abbie Hawley led the EHS offense with two
doubles, a single and a run scored, while Sydney
Cook added a double, a single and three runs
scored. Jourdin Griffin singled and scored twice,
Katlyn Barber added two runs, while Hannah Bailey and Alia Hayes both scored once.
The Lady Eagles also defeated WHS on April
22, by a 16-0 count in Washington County. EHS
returns to action on Monday when Southern
visits Tuppers Plains. Eastern is now 7-0 at home
this season.

CHESHIRE, Ohio — A
tough start led to a rough
outcome for the River Valley
softball team Thursday night
during a 13-3 setback to visiting Alexander in a Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio Division
matchup in Gallia County.
The Lady Raiders (9-11,
3-7 TVC Ohio) trailed 7-0
after one inning and were
down 9-0 through two complete, but the hosts finally
broke into the scoring column in the third after Chelsea Copley singled and later
scored on an error.
The Lady Spartans (17-1,
9-0), however, scored four
more times in the fourth
to secure a commanding
13-1 cushion. Cori Williams
produced a two-RBI single
that plated Copley and Tyler
George in the bottom of the
fifth, which ultimately wrapped
up the mercy rule setback.
Alexander outhit the hosts
by an 8-6 overall margin and
committed two of the seven
errors in the contest. Both
teams also stranded six runners on base.
Kendall Meeks was the
winning pitcher of record
after allowing three runs, six
hits and zero walks over five
innings while striking out six.
Ashley Gilmore took the loss
after surrendering 13 runs,
eight hits and six walks over
five frames while fanning one.
Copley and Katie Mares led
RVHS with two hits apiece, followed by Williams and Gilmore
with a safety each. Williams
had two RBIs and Copley
scored twice in the setback.
Mace and Howery led the
Lady Spartans with two hits
apiece, followed by Meeks,
Howard and Daugherty with
a safety each. Meeks led the
guests with three RBIs following a three-run homer in
the first, while Trout scored
three times in the triumph.
Alexander also claimed a
season sweep after posting an
11-0 decision at AHS back on
April 28.

Grace Edwards signs with Saints softball

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports

After staring on the diamond for four seasons at Eastern, Grace Edwards signed her letter of intent recently to join the Mercyhurst North East Saints next
season. “After playing softball all year, every year since seventh grade, this feels like a big accomplishment,” Edwards said. “It’s helped a lot having the coaches
that I’ve had, they have believed in me and pushed me. It’s kept my head straight and looking forward to the collegiate level.” Grace has helped the Lady Eagles
to three straight district appearances as a pitcher, a shortstop and an outfielder, while also playing with the USSSA Pride West Virginia 18-and-under squad in
the offseason. Edwards played in the Queen of the Diamonds Showcase South at Winthrop University and also represented the southeast district at the All-Ohio
underclass tournament. Grace has been named All-TVC and All-District multiple times and has played on the EHS golf team for four seasons. “I’ve always wanted
to go to a small school,” Edwards said. “When I got up there it had a good feel, the team’s great, the school’s great and I just feel like it’ll be a good fit for me.”
Mercyhurst North East is a Region III NJCAA school located in North East, Pennsylvania. Grace, who is ranked 13th in the senior class at EHS with a 3.4 GPA, will
major in Hospitality Management. Pictured above are Grace (center) with her parents Dan (left) and Angie (right).

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — Still in the
hunt.
The Gallia Academy baseball team
picked up its sixth straight win and
remained one game back of the league
leaders Wednesday night following an
8-0 victory over host Portsmouth in
a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League
matchup in Scioto County.
The visiting Blue Devils (12-3, 4-2

SEOAL champs — stayed within striking distance of current league leaders
Jackson and Warren after picking up a
season sweep of the Trojans. GAHS also
posted a 3-1 win over Portsmouth (1-5
SEOAL) at home back on April 21 — the
first of four straight SEOAL wins.
The Blue Devils claimed an early lead
in the first after Seth Wills delivered a
two-RBI single that plated both Kole
Carter and Anthony Sipple, making it
2-0 through one complete. Sipple later
scored in the third following a groundout
by Eric Sheets, which gave the guests a
3-0 cushion through three full frames.
Gallia Academy followed by sending
eight batters to the plate in the fourth,
which led to three runs on three hits and
two walks — making it a 6-0 contest
after four complete. The guests added
a run in each of the fifth and seventh
frames, which ultimately wrapped up the
eight-run triumph.
GAHS outhit the hosts by an 11-5 overall margin, while the Trojans committed
the only error of the game. PHS stranded
a dozen runners on base, while the Blue
Devils left 11 on the bags.
Carter was the winning pitcher of
record after allowing zero runs, four
hits and six walks over six innings while
striking out five. Williams took the
loss after surrendering seven runs (six
earned), eight hits and five walks over
four frames while fanning two.
Wills led Gallia Academy with three
hits and three RBIs, followed by Sipple
with two hits and three runs scored.
Sheets, Matt Bailey, Josh Davis, Eric
Ward, Ryan Terry and Marcus Moore also
had a safety apiece for the victors. Sheets
also drove in two RBIs and Carter crossed
home plate twice for the Blue and White.
Johnson led PHS with two hits, while
Mullins, Mullins and Gibson also had a
safety apiece in the setback.

Bright Beginnings Unit at
Pleasant Valley Hospital,
it still shines in its own

Bright Beginnings is
a special unit that cares

is based upon a similar

Hospital established with
protocols developed by
Dr. Sean Loudin.
Glen Washington, chief
executive officer of PVH,
was a part of the development of CHH’s program
and said Loudin realized
the specialized care these
infants required. Known
as the facility for women
and children’s services,
CHH has a 35-bed neonatal intensive care unit and
10-bed pediatric intensive
care unit and as such,
many infants born with
a chemical dependency
were shifted to the facility for treatment, though
it was discovered these
infants don’t necessarily thrive in a traditional
intensive care unit.

model is what PVH’s

Agnes Enrico-Simon and

“Babies born with
addiction have difficulties

Washington said. “They

and the influence of commercialization, this music
developed into what became

then into the more refined
“country” because of its
long appeal to those of rural

Although modernization
has caused the traditional

Many folk still cling to the
older sounds exemplified
by the “raw” traditionalists and the neo-traditional
bluegrass style that emerged
in the 1940s. From the earliest recording artists, such
as the Tweedy Brothers

Learning River
history with
the Fout sisters
By Donald Lambert

elambert@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT — History museums give
people a look into the past, but rarely do these
museums give people the chance to look into their
own personal history.
Since its doors opened in 2003, the Point Pleasant
River Museum is the only museum in West Virginia
that focuses on river life and commercial enterprise
on the Ohio and Kanawha rivers.
However, the River Museum also gives area locals
a chance to connect with their own past and, in
some cases, give some much needed closure to past
events.
And two people who work there, Ruth and Martha
Fout, help make those connections.
“[The museum] means different things to different people,” Ruth Fout, the museum’s administrative
assistant, said.
The Fout sisters, while from Mason County, originally weren’t heavily involved with the museum.
Ruth worked for Goodyear/Shell Chemicals/M&amp;G
Polymers for 28 years. After she had lost her job
there, Ruth was hired to work at the museum in
2004 on a temporary basis as a transcriptionist on
the senior program. Martha originally started at the
museum as a volunteer worker and then eventually
got hired on full-time around the same time Ruth
started.
Fast-forward a short time later and Ruth works
alongside Jack Fowler, executive director for the
museum, to work with the community to gather
materials for the museum, mostly through donations
from families.
Meanwhile, Martha works as the special projects
coordinator and also operates the gift shop. She also
does genealogy for folks whose relatives worked for
riverboats and lived along the river. Martha said her
love of history and having family in the area for 200
years has been a big help in her job.
The Fout sisters said that the most interesting
part of their job is the wide variety of people who
come into the museum. Ruth said the museum averages about 7,000 visitors a year, from the U.S. to as
far as China. The museum allows for functions, such
as birthday parties, to take place at the museum and
are often home to school tours and organizational
meetings. While the museum is only open from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3
p.m. Saturdays and 1-5 p.m. Sundays, the Fouts have
often allowed some of these functions to continue
past closing time.
“We’ve kept the museum open late on occasions if
there’s a party still going,” Ruth said.
While the museum serves as a place to celebrate
the accomplishments of people on and along the
Ohio and Kanawha rivers, it also serves as a place
of healing and remembrance. Ruth recalled a story
of a man searching for a riverboat. The story goes
that the man’s wife was named after a riverboat that
would come to the area. After his wife passed away,
the man asked the museum for any information or
any pictures of the boat his wife was named after.
While she couldn’t find any pictures of the boat,
Ruth was able to find measurements of the boat and
the husband felt content.
“That information, he felt, was enough for him to
move on,” Ruth said.
The Fout sisters’ connection to the museum,
and to the Point Pleasant area, became stronger
when they became involved with a project based
around the Silver Bridge collapse. In 2011, Professor Stephan Bullard and student Bridget Gromek
from the University of Hartford in Hartford, Conn.,
approached the Fout sisters to help write a book
about the Silver Bridge collapse. The Fouts then
began to gather materials and help do interviews
with people who were in the area or had loved ones
involved in the bridge’s collapse in December 1967
that claimed 46 lives.
According to the Fouts, their book, The Silver
Bridge Collapse of 1967, is the highest-selling book
in Arcadia, the book’s publisher, history since it
came out in 2012.
While the Fout sisters have done a lot of work in
their 11-year run with the museum, their work has
not gone unnoticed by the community.
“We’ve received Christmas cards, Easter baskets
and other gifts from the community over the years
as thanks for the work we do,” Martha said.
Whether it’s gathering items for a steamboat exhibit, giving a school tour or looking up a boat captain’s
information for a loved one, the Fout sisters continue
to provide a look at the history of this area with a
sense of love, respect and pride for their home.

the church bells at 3:15 p.m. April 9
in honor of the 150th anniversary
of the Appomattox Court House

Americans as the symbolic end of
the war. Fourteen American Civil

another 10 veterans from other
American-related conflicts. Both
men are members of the local
chapter of the Sons of Union

educational part of the
Bright Beginnings program helps decrease those
risks, as well as helps
the parents connect with
resources regarding their
own issues and recovery.
However, in West Virginia — and in Mason
County, in particular —
there is a very real need
for those resources where
some addicts are literally
dying while waiting for a
bed in a recovery facility.
Though the situation
isn’t perfect, there is now
a bassinet waiting where
there once was none in
Mason County.
Maybe hope and light
are the same thing after
all, at least in the all
important beginning.
There is no longer an
option to stay in the dark.
