She has kept in touch, providing a recent account: “Just a few days ago, I was working on both COLUMBUS — One of the joys of an Ohio spring is hearing a wild turkey gobble. Beginning in April, hunters have the chance to experience this phenomenon up close when turkey hunting seasons open, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s 2022 youth wild turkey hunting season is Saturday, April 9, and Sunday, April 10. Following the youth season, Ohio is divided into two zones for the remainder of spring hunting: a south zone, which opens to hunters on Saturday, April 23, and a northeast zone, which opens to hunters on Saturday, April 30. “The spring wild turkey hunting season is one of Ohio’s most exciting times to be afield, and we anticipate that 50,000 licensed hunters will participate this year,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. “As a reminder, the 2022 spring season limit is one gobbler for all hunters.” Ohio hunters harvested 14,546 wild turkeys during the 2021 spring season. Included in that total are the 1,463 turkeys checked during the two-day youth season. Eastern and southern counties typically record the highest number of harvested birds. The top 10 counties in 2021 were: Columbiana (454), Belmont (444), Meigs (437), Tuscarawas (417), Jefferson (408), Monroe (408), Ashtabula (401), Washington (398), Guernsey (378) and Muskingum (373). The upcoming youth-only turkey season is for those with a valid youth hunting license and turkey permit. Youth hunters are required to be accompanied by a nonhunting adult, 18 years of age or older. Hunting hours during the two-day youth season are 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset. Wild turkeys were extirpated in Ohio by 1904 and were reintroduced in the 1950s by the Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s first modern day turkey season opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked See TURKEY | 8 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, March 31, 2022 GALLIA, MEIGS COMMUNITY BRIEFS Editor’s Note: Gallia Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

The Black Knights (3-3) trailed 2-0 after a half-inning and were down 8-7 following a 5-run explosion by the Bison in the top of the fifth, but the hosts countered with four straight scores over the next two frames while building an 11-8 cushion through six complete. BHS plated two runs on an error that left a runner at third with nobody out, but Point Pleasant dodged the bullet by recording back-to-back outs.

The Lady Falcons (6-0) drew first blood in Tuesday’s ballgame, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first. The scoring got started when Lauren Noble hit a single to center field, bringing Mikie Lieving home. Noble got home herself after Kalyn Christian grounded out at first, giving the senior ample time to advance home. After the Scarlet and Silver got a run at the top of the second, the White and Red responded right back with three runs of their own. However, the Lady Knights got a total of five unanswered runs in the third and fourth innings to take a 6-5 lead. The Lady Falcons were able to bring a runner home in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game up once more. After Cabell Midland notched three more runs in the sixth, Noble hit a leadoff home run to left field to cut into the road team’s lead. Down 10-7 in the final inning of regulation, Noble hit a sac-fly ball to bring home Payton Staats. With two outs, Morgan Christian hit a ground ball, but the Lady Knights commited an error, allowing the junior to reach first base safely. The confusion also allowed Lieving and Amber Wolfe to reach home, forcing Tuesday’s ballgame into extra innings. After spending the first two extra innings deadlocked, Cabell Midland scored two runs at the top of the 10th. However, Wolfe hit a clutch 2-run homer to tie the game once again. The winning play came in the bottom of the 12th, when Noble hit a single to center field, allowing Lieving and Wolfe to score. The Lady Falcons outhit the Lady Knights 21-20. Leading the White and Red in hits was Noble with six. Behind her was Lieving with five. Also scoring hits for Wahama were Wolfe with three, Emma Knapp with three, Morgan with one, Kalyn with one, Staats with one and Bailee Bumgarner with one. Lieving led her team in runs with six while Noble led in RBIs with the same number. Leading the Lady Knights in hits was Olivia Bell with five.

The Lady Knights (3-2) mustered only three hits, but the hosts managed to keep thing within striking distance for the better part of the contest. The Lady Indians plated two runs in the top of the third and added two more in the top of the sixth before erupting for three more scores in the seventh to complete the shutout. SHS outhit Point Pleasant by a 10-3 overall margin and committed Meigs falls at Fairland, 7-3 PROCTORVILLE, Ohio — Good things don’t always come in threes. A pair of 3-run outbursts in the second and fifth frames ultimately allowed host Fairland to claim a 7-3 victory over the Meigs softball team Tuesday night. The Lady Marauders (0-1) rallied to tie things up at three after a 3-run eruption of their own in the top of the fourth, but the guests were held scoreless the rest of the way. The Lady Dragons added an insurance run in the seventh to wrap up the 4-run outcome. FHS outhit Meigs by an 11-3 overall margin and also committed all three errors in the game. Delana Wright, Mallory Adams and Hailey Roberts had a hit apiece for MHS, with Adams driving in all three RBIs and scoring once as well. Wright and Mara Hall also scored a run each in the setback. Jess Workman suffered the loss after surrendering six runs (six earned), 10 hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while striking out five. Salyer, Shepherd, Dehart, Bell and Lyon paced Fairland with two hits apiece. Salyer and Dehart also knocked in two RBIs each, with Shepherd and Salyer also hitting a home run apiece. Salyer was the winning pitcher after allowing three unearned runs and one hit over four innings while fanning five. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. �NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, March 31, 2022 7 Federal judges in Ohio question viability of May 3 state primary (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN The following vehicle(s) will be available for public sale on Friday, April 01, 2022 at Dave's Supreme Auto Sales LLC, 1393 Jackson Pike Gallipolis, OH 45631, at 1:00 pm.

Republicans in the Legislature have insisted on maintaining the May 3 date, even though that means a delayed contest for legislative districts whose lines are still undetermined. A group of GOP voters has asked a federal court to order one of the unconstitutional maps to be used for those contests, setting up Wednesday’s broader debate about YEAR-ROUND N COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A federal court panel pressed top Ohio elections officials on Wednesday for help determining whether to delay the state’s May 3 primary over redistricting chaos that has engulfed the state and left both congressional and state legislative lines unresolved. The primary, one of the first high-profile nominating contests of the year, is in limbo after the state Supreme Court ruled repeatedly that maps drawn by the Republican-dominated Ohio Redistricting Commission were unconstitutional. BACKED BY A �NEWS 8 Thursday, March 31, 2022 Daily Sentinel Russia bombs areas where it pledged to scale back By Nebi Qena and Yuras Karmanau Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine — Russian forces bombarded areas around Kyiv and another city just hours after pledging to scale back operations in those zones to promote trust between the two sides, Ukrainian authorities said Wednesday. The shelling — and intensified Russian attacks on other parts of the country — tempered optimism about any progress in the talks aimed at ending the punishing war. The Russian military’s announcement Tuesday that it would de-escalate near the capital and the northern city of Chernihiv to “increase mutual trust and create conditions for further negotiations” was met with deep suspicion from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the West. Soon after, Ukrainian officials reported that Russian shelling hit homes, stores, libraries and other civilian sites in and around Chernihiv and on the outskirts of Kyiv. Russian troops also stepped up their attacks around the eastern city of Izyum and the eastern Donetsk region, after redeploying units from other areas, the Ukrainian side said. Olexander Lomako, secretary of the Chernihiv city council, said the Russian announcement turned out to be “a complete lie.” “At night they didn’t decrease, but vice versa increased the intensity of military action,” Lomako said. Five weeks into the invasion that has left thousands dead on both sides, the number of Ukrainians fleeing the country topped a staggering 4 million, half of them children, according to the United Nations. “I do not know if we can Jobless From page 1 private service-providing sector increased 80,600 as gains in leisure and hospitality (+42,100); trade, transportation, and utilities (+22,400); professional and business services (+15,100); other services (+7,300); financial activities (+3,400); Turkey From page 1 12 birds.

That is why we cannot go back to Kharkiv.” In other developments: —U.S. President Joe Biden announced an additional $500 million in aid for Ukraine. In a call with Biden, Zelenskyy said peace will be achieved only when Ukrainian forces have a “strong position on the battlefield,” according to the Ukrainian leader’s website. —U.S. intelligence officials have determined that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about the poor performance of Moscow’s forces in Ukraine, according to a U.S. official. —The German government said it received assurances from Russia that European companies won’t have to pay for Russian gas in rubles.

At a round of talks held Tuesday in Istanbul, the faint outlines of a possible peace agreement seemed to emerge when the Ukrainian delegation offered a framework under which the country would declare itself neutral — dropping its bid to join NATO, as Moscow has long demanded — in return for security guarantees from a group of other nations. Top Russian officials reacted positively, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saying Wednesday that Ukraine’s willingness to accept neutrality and look outside NATO for security represents “significant progress,” according to Russian news agencies. After the Kremlin’s announcement that it would scale back some of its military operations, Zelenskyy reacted by saying that when dealing with the Russians, “you can trust only concrete results.” That assessment was echoed by Biden and by British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, who noted suspicions that Russia intends to regroup and attack again. The skepticism appeared well-founded on Wednesday. Oleksandr Pavliuk, head of the Kyiv region military administration, said Russian shells targeted residential areas and civilian infrastructure in the Bucha, Brovary and Vyshhorod regions around the capital. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the military also targeted fuel depots in two towns in central Ukraine with airlaunched long-range cruise missiles. And Russian forces hit a Ukrainian special forces headquarters in the southern Mykolaiv region, he said, and two ammunition depots in the Donetsk region. With at least one GOP vote, Jackson likely to be confirmed By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press WASHINGTON — Maine Sen. Susan Collins said Wednesday she will vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, giving Democrats at least one Republican vote and all but assuring that Jackson will become the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. Collins met with Jackson a second time this week after four days of hearings last week and said Wednesday that “she possesses the experience, qualifications and integrity to serve as an associate justice on the Supreme Court.” “I will, therefore, vote to confirm her to this position,” Collins said. Collins’ support gives Democrats at least a one-vote cushion in the 50-50 Senate and likely saves them from having to use Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote to confirm President Joe Biden’s pick. Senate Democratic leaders are pushing toward a Senate Judiciary Committee vote on the nomination Monday and a final Senate vote to confirm Jackson late next week. Biden called Collins on Wednesday to thank her after her announcement, according to the senator’s office. The president had called her at least three times before the hearings, part of a larger push to win a bipartisan vote for his historic pick. Jackson, who would replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, would be the third Black justice, after Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, and the sixth woman. She would also be the first former public defender on the court. It is expected that all 50 Democrats will support her, though one notable moderate Democrat, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, hasn’t yet said how she will vote. Collins was the most likely Republican to support Jackson, and she has a history of voting for Supreme Court nominees picked by presidents of both parties, as well as other judicial nominations. The only Supreme Court nominee she’s voted against since her election in the mid-1990s is Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was nominated by thenPresident Donald Trump after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the weeks before Trump’s election defeat to Biden in 2020. Collins, who was up for reelection that year, said she voted against Barrett because of the accelerated six-week timeline. “It’s not a comment on her,” Collins said of Barrett at the time. In her statement supporting Jackson, the Maine senator said she doesn’t expect that she will always agree with Jackson’s decisions.
