David Hill, president of David R. Hill Inc., operates a significant number of oil and gas producing wells throughout Ohio. He is also past chairman of the Board for Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program and recipient of the Oilfield Patriot Award. He began the presentation by giving a history of gas wells in Ohio He said over time there have been 275,774 wells drilled in Ohio for oil and gas. He explained hydraulic fracking and the various methods used in gas extraction, including vertical, horizontal and class II injection. A map of current wells shows the majority are in western Ohio in an area know as Utica Shale. “There are currently 64,398 wells in production,” he said, “and studies across Ohio show we are sitting on huge reserves.” The Utica Shale underlies much of the northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada. It was first described in 1842 as an outcrop east of the city of Utica, N.Y., by pioneering American geologist Ebenezer Emmons. According to Hill, Class II injection wells provide for the safe, reliable and environmentally sound disposal of wastewater generated from oil and gas operation and production. He said they (oil and gas industry) are regulated by the EPA, Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, and Ohio regulations that meet or exceed the construction and operational requirements of the EPA, “Meigs County is sitting on the western edge of the largest oil reserves in the world,” he said. “Why hasn’t there been more drilling in Meigs County,” an audience member asked. Hill explained that the reserves in Meigs County are shallow, and as a result there isn’t enough pressure to extract the oil and gas using current technology.

Michael Johnson | Times-Sentinel Santa spent a portion of Friday morning and early afternoon standing in the Third Avenue drive-thru side of Ohio Valley Bank in Gallipolis. Santa greeted every drive-up customer with a bag filled with candy and a magnetic chip clip sponsored by the bank. Despite the sunny weather and mild temperatures — as of 1 p.m. Friday, it was 65 degrees — Santa said he would much rather perspire as he recalled last year when he stood “in the rain, sleet and snow” for a few hours and was “chilled to the bone.” Temperatures on Sunday are predicted to reach possible record-breaking temperatures in lower to mid-70s across the Ohio Valley. Meigs farmers’ market returns in 2016 By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Health Department’s farmers’ market at Alligator Jacks was such a success during its first year that it’s returning in 2016. It is funded through Creating Healthy Communities through the Ohio Department of Health, as well as Together on Diabetes through Marshall University. Laura Cleland, grant coordinator with the department, said that next year the market will be returning May 15 through Aug. 14. This year, Cleland said the market began July 19 and lasted until Oct. 25, but that next year it will stay between the summer months, as festivals and school events mean lower numbers in the fall. This year the market was from noon to 4 p.m., but will be pushed back to between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for next year’s market.

It affects children and adults and 1 out of 26 people in the United States will suffer with this disorder in their lifetimes. It’s epilepsy. Despite these facts, it’s a disease that is often misunderstood. To understand epilepsy, it’s best to first understand seizures. A seizure occurs when the normal electrical brain function is interrupted. Most people recognize them as the presence of muscle convulsions and loss of consciousness. However, it’s important to know that staring spells and minimal twitching of one body part may also be a sign of a seizure. Meanwhile, epilepsy is more than seizures alone; epilepsy is a seizure disorder. It’s diagnosed when a person has had two or more seizures that were not caused by a known medical condition — like a crash from low blood sugar. In other words, just because a person has had a seizure, it doesn’t mean he or she has epilepsy. In children, issues with high fevers, brain injuries, certain infections like meningitis, malformations during the development of the brain, and tumors can lead to pediatric epilepsy. Pediatric epilepsy may be outgrown and can easily be controlled with medications. On the other hand, adults with genetic factors, strokes, and other types of brain injuries and conditions may have chronic issues with epilepsy. One-third of people living with this disorder may not have a treatment available to help. For the rest, it can also be controlled with mediations. Fortunately, the Neurology Center at Pleasant Valley Hospital is skilled at helping patients better understand how to manage living with this disorder. We are the only team in the area that can diagnose and treat both children and adults who may be suffering from epilepsy. We have state-of-the-art technology that we use to test for, diagnose, monitor, and treat this disorder. For instance, diagnosing epilepsy may be complex due to the extensive types of seizures and the number of reasons they may be occurring in the first place. But we are skilled at testing brain activity through simple electroencephalograms (EEGs) and looking at CT and MRI scans to see if there are tumors or malformations on the brain. If necessary, a PET scan or other brain monitoring devices can help us search for greater underlying issues. We’ll also help you take the necessary steps to provide the appropriate medical care for epilepsy at any age. If a tumor or malformation is present, treatment may require surgery and you can trust that our skilled team of surgeons has the experience you need to treat and prevent further problems. Often, antiepileptic medications alone can help suppress the activity in the brain that causes seizures. Whatever your needs may be, we’re here to treat you with a practical, problem-solving approach that will help you live a safe and normal life. It’s our goal to give you the clinical excellence and comprehensive care that will keep Point Pleasant and the tri-county area as healthy as possible. We’re proud to be here serving the community we love in this way. Dr. Alvaro Gutierrez specializes in neurology and neurophysiology at Pleasant Valley Hospital. based on technical job knowledge and ability, enthusiastic work attitude, teamwork, and prompt and courteous response to the public’s requests for information and assistance.

President candidate, GOP front-runner, multibillionaire and reality TV star Donald Trump is touting a proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. This comes on the heels of the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings that have been linked to terrorism, and the Paris attacks that killed 130 people and injures scores more. Trump proposes to ban Muslims, including would-be immigrants, students, tourists and other visitors, from entering the country. In Trumps own words, “We have no choice but to do this. We have people that want to blow up our buildings, our cities. We have to figure out what’s going on.” Michael He’s right. We need to figure out Johnson what’s going on … in the minds Editor, Ohio of Americans who would actually Valley News support such a notion – including Trump himself. Many people have gone so far as to compare Trump’s plan to that of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s World War II policy that oversaw the forcible detainment and confinement of people with Japanese, German and Italian descent. These people were held in internment camps sprinkled throughout the Western U.S. Others say the plan echoes that of another WWII leader, who started by systematically branding people of the Jewish faith as enemies of the state. That, ultimately, led to the deaths of 6 million Jews in concentration camps. It was Adolph Hitler’s so-called “final solution.” To me, Trump’s plan is closely reminiscent of the Red Scare of the early and mid-20th century. The Red Scare occurred when the government promoted a fear of Communism that spread widely through the population. It first happened in 1919-20 when the federal government began rounding up and departing hundreds of immigrants with radical political views. This initial “scare” was caused by fears of subversion by Communists (defined by its historic connection with the color red) in the United States immediately on the heels of the 1917 Russian (Bolshevik) Revolution. The second round, known as “McCarthyism,” occurred in the late 1940s when U.S. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy stirred up anti-communist ideas known as “The Red Menace.” People were afraid of being associated with communists or labeled as communists themselves. Those who were considered communist sympathizers often found themselves blacklisted — or placed on a list that prevented them from getting jobs. The House Un-American Activities Committee – yes, there was such a thing – led by McCarthy, investigated allegations of subversive elements (Soviet spies) in the government and the Hollywood film industry. People such as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover equated any kind of protest with communist subversion, including civil rights demonstrations led by Martin Luther King Jr., who was also labeled a communist. Absurd, right? It was a climate of fear and repression, which is exactly what Trump is promoting. He’s leading the charge by preying on the fears of the American people. It’s a tried-and-true political tactic that has worked in the past. And it’s working again! Do we not give a double-take to the Middle Eastern man carrying a backpack, or one who wears the traditional keffiyeh (wrapped turban or loosely draped)? Do we not eye the woman wearing an abaya (black cloak) or hijab (headscarf) with a bit more attention? The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in regard to religion, clearly states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Throughout our history, people have fled foreign lands to escape various forms of repression – including religious persecution – for the promise and constitutional guarantee that the same won’t happen in the U.S. We can’t allow the banning of Muslims to occur in the U.S. By doing do, we’re opening a can of worms that will be difficult to close. A government that is allowed to shut down mosques simply because they are mosques can shut down Bible studies simply because they are Bible studies. A government that can close the border to all Muslims simply on the basis of their religious beliefs can do the same to evangelical Christians, and a government that can issue ID badges for all Muslims because they are Muslims can, in the fullness of time, demand the same for Christians. If you ban one religion, you can ban them all. One always leads to the other. Reach Michael Johnson at 740-446-2342, ext. 2102, or on Twitter @ OhioEditorMike.

These are matters that, ideally, would be wrestled through the legislative process. Instead, they’re up to the Court. Congress these days is failing to assert its responsibilities under the Constitution — it is far from being the co-equal branch our Founders envisioned. And many of its members agree. They don’t believe the institution they serve is doing its job — they’d point, for instance, to immigration reform, which Speaker Paul Ryan recently announced the House would not even touch next year, despite the pressing need. Here is an issue practically begging for rolled-up sleeves on Capitol Hill. Yet instead of action, they get a congressional schedule that sends members back to their districts for most of the year. Which may be the most distressing part of it all. Instead of being concerned enough about Congress’s weakness and inactivity to take action, its leaders, at least, appear to believe that many of the toughest issues on the national agenda are beyond their capability to resolve.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 13, 1937, the Chinese city of Nanjing fell to Japanese forces; what followed was a massacre of war prisoners, soldiers and citizens. (China maintains as many as 300,000 people died; Japan says the toll was far less.) On this date: In 1642, Dutch navigator Abel Tasman sighted present-day New Zealand. In 1769, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire received its charter. In 1862, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside launched futile attacks against entrenched Con- federate soldiers during the Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg; the soundly defeated Northern troops withdrew two days later. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson arrived in France, becoming the first chief executive to visit Europe while in office. In 1928, George Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” had its premiere at Carnegie Hall in New York. In 1944, during World War II, the light cruiser USS Nashville was badly damaged in a Japanese kamikaze attack off Negros Island in the Philippines that claimed 133 lives. In 1962, the United States launched Relay 1, a communications satellite which retransmitted television, telephone and digital signals. In 1974, Malta became a republic. George Harrison visited the White House, where he met President Gerald R. Ford. Today’s Birthdays: Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz is 95. Actor-comedian Dick Van Dyke is 90.

The issue of the disposal of waste was addressed, and he said there are efforts under way to remove the brine and recycle the water. “The salt that is left could be used on winter roads,” he said, “and the water (can be used) in commercial applications.” According to Hill, Ohio has some of the highest standards in the U.S. in regard to allowable radiation rates for disposal in landfills. He emphasized that radiation occurs naturally in rocks and that there are detectors that monitor waste as it is brought into the landfill. “If everything is all right, then it goes into the landfill. If it does not meet the specifications, then the material is transported to a safe site in Utah,” he said. When asked about the likelihood of a rupture in pipelines transporting oil or gas, Hill presented a photo tour of a disposal facility. Regarding the possible danger of seismic activity A: Fairbanks.

When the final buzzer goes off, that’s all that matters. Lady Rebels fall to Eastern, 47-32 By Donald Lambert elambert@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — A rough night for the visiting team. Laura Pullins scored a game-high 24 points while leading the Eastern girls basketball team to a 47-32 victory over visiting South Gallia in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup on Thursday night in Meigs County. The Lady Eagles (2-1, 2-1 TVC Hocking) used their size advantage early on, and the Lady Rebels (0-4, 0-2) struggled to come up with an answer. The home team started off the contest on a 5-0 run from Laura Pullins. Ashley Northup netted South Gallia its first points of the game with a shot from three-point range at 5:25 mark in the first quarter. Madison Williams hit a shot from beyond the arc with 5:02 left in the quarter. Pullins took control of the Eastern offense, scoring on 10-of-11 of the Lady Eagles’ possessions. Olivia Hornsby connected with a last second lay-up for the Red and Gold, but Eastern lead 18-9 after the first period. South Gallia’s shooting continued to struggle in the second quarter. The visitors missed on all 10 scoring opportunities in the period. Pullins helped the Green and Gold pull away with a three at the 6:31 mark, while Elizabeth Collins connected with a bucket with 4:18 left in the half. Williams hit two free throws to give Eastern a 25-9 lead at the break. Donald Lambert | OVP Sports Eastern freshman Alyson Bailey (24) makes a pass during the Lady Eagles’ 47-32 win over South Gallia on Thursday night in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. While both teams had the same number of rebounds in the first half, the Lady Eagles had the 13-6 rebound advantage over the Lady Rebels. The Green and Gold were also successful at the free throw line, going 5-of-7 from the charity stripe in the first half of play. After an Eastern bucket early in the third quarter, Mikayla Poling brought the South Gallia offense back to life with a lay-up at the 6:06 mark. The Lady Rebels continued to gain confidence by going on a 7-0 run late in the third period. Pullins and Kelsey Casto’s back-to-back scores gave the Lady Eagles a 36-21 lead heading into the final quarter. Both teams traded baskets throughout the fourth period. After an Eastern basket, Erin Evans hit the first of two threes in the quarter at the 6:29 mark. Rebecca Pullins added a three of her own for Eastern with 4:33 left in the game. Poling’s five points in the quarter — all of which were free throws — weren’t enough to get the Lady Rebels back in the contest. The Lady Eagles shot 19-of-53 from the field (36 percent) — while also going 8-for-11 from the foul line. The Lady Rebels finished the game shooting 10-of-40 field goals (25 percent) and 5-of-12 from the charity stripe. Following Laura Pullins in the Eastern scoring column, Williams finished with eight points and Collins had six points. Rebecca Pullins had three points, while Casto, Maddy Kuhn and Alyson Bailey each contributed two points for the Lady Eagles. “They came out play- ing better than we have been,” Eastern coach John Burdette said. “During the second half, we resorted back to what we were doing. You get more tired and you don’t do the right things. We gotta keep working and getting better.” Evans led the Lady Rebels with 12 points, followed by Poling with nine points. Northup had seven points, while Hornsby finished with four points for the Red and Gold. “In the second half, we started taking care of the ball and taking good shots,” South Gallia coach Corey Small said. “At halftime, I told them that a bad shot leads to an easy lay-up for them. We picked up the defense in the second half and played better defense.” Both squads will meet again on Jan. 21 in Mercerville and return to action Monday.

Curtis finished with six points, while Catlett and Wyatt Bissell contributed two points and one point respectively for the Green and Gold. “Not to take anything from Wahama, but we simply choked that game away tonight,” Eastern coach Jeremy Hill said. “We simply didn’t play and execute. The boys are going to have to learn to start listening a little bit better, but I don’t want to take anything away from Wahama. The kids played hard and they wanted to battle. I think, in the end, we started to play not to lose the game, instead of playing to win the game.” Both squads will meet again on Jan. 22 in Tuppers Plains.

The visiting Lady Defenders (1-3) led 4-3 after eight minutes of play, but the Lady Lions answered with a nearly 3-to-1 offensive output in the second frame — and that 11-point swing allowed the hosts to secure a 20-10 cushion at the break. OVCS — behind eight points from Katie Bradley — made a 17-13 third quarter surge to close to within 33-27, but the Lady Lions closed regulation with a 14-7 run to wrap up the 13-point outcome. Bradley led the Lady Defenders with 10 points, followed by Rachel Sargent and Kristen Durst with nine markers apiece. Ashley Childers and Emily Childers rounded things out with respective tallies of four and two points. OVCS was a perfect 4-of-4 at the free throw line, all of which came in the first half. Sargent had team-highs of 10 rebounds and seven blocks, while Emily Childers came away with four steals. Bradley and Ashley Childers also hauled in six caroms apiece in the setback. Holly Edwards paced TVCS with a game-high 24 points, with 19 of those coming through the middle cantos. Emily Hatfield was next with 12 markers, while Paige Williams and Katie Lucas completed the scoring with seven points and four points respectively.

It should definitely be a pretty good holiday break for everyone involved.” Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2101.

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports 2015 OVP Super-25 Football Team By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — It’s back … and Point Pleasant pretty much owned it. After a six-year absence, Ohio Valley Publishing is glad to welcome back a former area tradition with the announcement of the 2015 OVP Super 25 Football Team. Only players on programs within Gallia, Mason and Meigs counties were eligible for consideration, and the selections were made by the three full-time sports writers at our trio of local daily publications — The Daily Sentinel, Gallipolis Daily Tribune and Point Pleasant Register. The selection process was based on overall contributions to each individual’s’s team — whether it be on offense, defense or special teams — and how those efforts impacted outcomes on Friday night. This area “all-star” squad was also assembled to reward and acknowledge some of our finest local athletes for another memorable season of high school football. There were 11 offensive players and 11 defensive players chosen, as well as three all-purpose choices for players that just did a little bit of everything well. A player of the year was chosen on each of side of the ball and a coach of the year was also honored by OVP. In all, the overall goal for the selection committee was to come away with the tri-county’s 25 best football players. There were also several very good football players who did not make this list, though all were given consideration. We’ll start this list, however, by announcing that ninth-year Point coach Dave Darst and fifth-year River Valley coach Jerrod Sparling shared OVP Super 25 Coach of the Year honors. Darst guided PPHS to its eighth consecutive postseason, while Sparling led the Raiders to their first playoff berth in the school’s 24 years of existence.

Point Pleasant amassed 730 points, 5,009 rushing yards and 6,594 all-purpose yards in 13 games, which led to a 12-1 overall mark and the program’s third-ever state semifinal appearance. The Big Blacks also fell to eventual Class AAA state champion Wheeling Park (35-14) in their lone setback. Point Pleasant led the OVP area with 10 overall selections, which included nine players to go along with Coach Darst. A third of those young men were also honored with player of the year honors.

Mitchell also led PPHS in receiving with 15 catches for 213 yards and four scores.

Evans thanked Sandy Bledsoe, who created the certificates, Debra Leonard for producing the program booklet, and Richard James for contributing gourds used in the banquets decorations. Also attending the gala were District OGS Rep. Don Clark and his wife, Chris Clark, and Larry Patrick and wife, Christy, of Jackson County. Evans gave an update on the year’s events, including new entries to the website. She asked for volunteer writers for the 24-page quarterly newsletter and noted the group’s membership has continued to grow. Future publications will include Patriot Pioneers by Anna Simmerman. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Century Family certificate to Helen McNealey West, who was born in Gallia County in 1915. To qualify for Century Families, the person must have ancestors in Gallia County between 1861 and 100 years prior to the current year — in this case 1915. Upon receiving the certificate, McNealey West became Gallia County Genealogy Society’s first living member. The Society officials consider having a living member a unusual opportunity and were honored to have her personally accept the Century Family certificate.
