AS THE OLD OHIO FLOWS...

Abigail Graves: Meigs County’s G.I. Nightingale
By Jordan Pickens
Special to the Sentinel

It’s said to be better
to be thought a fool and
keep your mouth closed
than to open it and erase
all doubt. That is certainly the case for the Washington State Senator who
made the remarks about
nurses playing cards for
most of their work day.
The blatant audacity and
falsity of this accusation
is astounding. These
comments have brought
me to this week’s article
about one of Meigs
County’s prominent
nurses, of whom many
do not know: Abigail B.
Graves, originally from
Downington.
Abigail was born to
Oscar and Mytra Graves,
and as a young woman
she joined the A.N.C.
(Army Nurse Corps) to
help serve her country
in World War I. She is
said to have “a record
of which any woman

would be proud.” As a
Lieutenant in the ANC,
Lt. Graves’ travel log during the First World War
included stents at Fort
Sam Houston in Texas,
Camp Beauregard in
Louisiana, Camp Shelly
in Mississippi, all in
1918. In 1919 Lt. Graves
was stationed in Fort
McPherson in Georgia
and Fort Thomas in Kentucky.
Then in 1920, Lt.
Graves was sent to
Coblentz, Germany. In
an interview that ran in
the former Meigs County
newspaper The Democrat, which was provided
to the newspaper by
Jeanette Ash, who was
a Senior in the Class of
1943 at Pomeroy High
School, Lt. Graves had
this to say about her tenure in Germany: “In the
ﬁrst occupation (November 1918) were men who
had been in France. In
two years most of these
had been replaced by

the regular Army. Our
casualties were ‘ﬂu’ and
pneumonia in winter,
and ‘pay-day’ battles.”
“In April 1921, three
nurses and myself took
a trip to Paris, Florence,
Rome, Naples and Nice.
On another trip we went
to England through
Belgium and Holland,
returning to Coblentz via
Vienna and Munich, after
seeing the Passion Play
in Oberammergau.”
“In May, 1922, I
returned to the U.S.A.
and after a 30-day furlough with relatives in
Ohio was stationed in
Fort Monroe in Virginia.
For three years I was on
duty at the Walter Reed
Hospital in Washington
D.C. and from there I was
sent to the Philippines
– the ﬁrst six months at
Corregidor, the remainder of the three years
at Sternberger Hospital
in Manila. During that
time, I visited the coastal
cities of Hong Kong,

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — A smiling and
upbeat Kim Jong Un
arrived Wednesday in
far-eastern Russia aboard
an armored train for a
much-anticipated summit
with Russian President
Vladimir Putin that
comes amid deadlocked
global diplomacy over
the North Korean leader’s nuclear program.
Both leaders have high
hopes for their ﬁrst oneon-one meeting: Kim
for a win after his failed
second summit with U.S.
President Donald Trump
and Putin for a chance to
raise Moscow’s clout in
the region and gain more
leverage with Washington.
Speaking to Russia’s
state-owned Rossiya-24,
Kim said he was hoping
for a “successful and useful” visit and would like
to discuss with Putin the
“settlement of the situation in the Korean Peninsula” as well as bilateral
ties with Russia.
It was Kim’s ﬁrst visit
to Russia as North Korean leader; his late father,
Kim Jong Il, visited Russia in 2011. The North
Korean leader evoked
his father’s “great love

He then traveled on to
the Russian Paciﬁc port
city of Vladivostok, the
site of Thursday’s summit, where he was greeted by a military orchestra as he stepped out of
his khaki-green armored
train. Dressed in a black
coat and clutching a
black fedora, he then got
into his personal limousine, which travels with
him, and drove away.
Putin’s foreign affairs
adviser, Yuri Ushakov,
told Russian media the
Putin-Kim summit would
focus on North Korea’s
nuclear program, noting
that Russia will seek to
“consolidate the positive
trends” stemming from
Trump’s meetings with
Kim.
In February, Kim’s
second summit with
Trump in Hanoi ended
without any agreement
because of disputes over
U.S.-led sanctions. There
have since been no publicly known high-level
contacts between the
U.S. and North Korea,
although both sides say
they are still open to a
third summit.
Kim wants the U.S.
to ease the sanctions to
reciprocate for some partial disarmament steps
he took last year. But the
U.S. maintains the sanctions will stay in place
until North Korea makes
more signiﬁcant denuclearization moves.

Some experts say Kim
could try to bolster his
country’s ties with Russia and China. Others
say it’s not clear how
big of a role Russia can
play in efforts to restart
the nuclear negotiations.
Still, the summit could
allow Putin to try to
increase his inﬂuence
in regional politics and
the standoff over North
Korea’s nuclear program.
“Kim wants to show
that he’s cooperating
with Russia too, rather
than looking to only the
U.S. and China. But I
think it’s not easy for
Russia and China to
provide North Korea
with practical assistance
that leads to the inﬂow
of dollars,” said Chon
Hyun-joon, a former
senior researcher at
the Korea Institute for
National Uniﬁcation in
Seoul.
North Korea has
increasingly expressed
frustration at the deadlocked negotiations.
Last week, North Korea
tested a new weapon
and demanded that U.S.
Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo be removed
from the nuclear talks.
Ushakov said the
Kremlin would try to
help “create preconditions and a favorable
atmosphere for reaching
solid agreements on the
problem of the Korean
Peninsula.”

‘Step Up for Women’ program
HUNTINGTON — Tammy
Jackson is the ﬁrst woman to
work on the shop ﬂoor of Huntington Steel in its 115-year
history. Previously, women had
only worked in the tool room or
the ofﬁce.
“They say I’m their prototype,” Jackson joked.
She is currently a saw cutter,
and enjoys getting her hands
dirty every day. She cuts custom
steel orders for customers and
operates an overhead crane to
move metal from place to place.
Before she started her job,
though, Jackson was part of
the ﬁrst Step Up for Women
Advanced Manufacturing PreApprenticeship in the summer
of 2016. This class was also
the ﬁrst all-women manufacturing pre-apprenticeship in the
country. The tuition-free Step
Up program prepares women
to work in manufacturing. Jackson learned important skills
that she uses in her new job
like shop safety and machinist
lingo. “Blueprint reading especially helped,” noted Jackson, “I
learned a lot from the instructors.”
Jackson and other women like
her received ten weeks of jobbased instruction. Step Up students get hands-on training in
manufacturing. They use mills
and lathes to machine products

“It’s physically demanding and
safety is huge – you’ve got to be
on your game, but I really enjoy
my work,” she said. As for her
next steps, she hopes to get a
welding certiﬁcate, “I’d love to
become a fabricator or run the
burn table. I’ve had to prove
myself, but I’ve never been
afraid of hard work.”

THEIR VIEW

Flying
the North
Atlantic
The late Harold Losey of Wilmington loved challenges. He and his wife, Lillian, opened Losey’s
Pharmacy located in Wilmington in 1964, and
designed the ﬁrst drive-thru pharmacy within the state of Ohio, where
customers could pick up prescriptions without leaving their cars.
Harold had his share of adventure,
too. He served as a corporal in the
United State Marine Corps during
World War II, and years later became
Pat
a well-respected leader in our comHaley
munity.
Contributing
Harold had a friend who had an
columnist
adventurous spirit, too — George
Bush. Not the late former president,
but a generous man who built an
extremely successful auto dealership and international truck leasing company in Wilmington.
Both Harold and George loved aviation. They
served together on the Clinton County Air Field
Board of Directors, so hearing from George was
not unusual. According to Harold, it was a warm
day in July when he received a telephone call from
George, his pal and ﬂying buddy.
“Can you get away for about three weeks later
this summer to take a trip?” George asked.
“Where to this time?” Harold responded.
“I would like to ﬂy the North Atlantic over to
Holland to see John,” referring to John Eisenberger, who George and Harold had met when John
came to the United States to learn to ﬂy. “Our trip
will take us from Clinton County to Holland and
back in my single-engine 1986 Beechcraft Bonanza,” George said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Harold admitted George’s desire to ﬂy across
the North Atlantic had his adrenalin pumping. He
headed home and asked his wife, Lil, if it was OK.
“Fine, as long as I don’t have to go,” she said.
The preparation for the trip was immense.
Both men had to undergo medical testing, ﬂight
instructions, navigation training, and instrument
certiﬁcation. George had installed a new GPS
in the plane, which at the time was cutting-edge
technology.
As one of the men said, “It’s good to know
where we are over the Atlantic Ocean.”
The two friends began to load their plane with
cooking utensils, matches in waterproof containers, a portable compass, an ax, ﬂexible saw blade,
ﬁshing equipment, mosquito protection, sleeping
bags, hunting riﬂe, six ﬂares, two gallons of water
and 10,000 calories of food per person.
Months of preparation, hard work and training
lay behind them. Greenland, Goose Bay, and hours
over the North Atlantic still lay ahead.
On Sept. 11, 1994, seven days before Harold’s
69th birthday, the journey began. The men were
surprised upon arrival at Clinton Field to discover
many friends and well-wishers standing along the
airstrip.
Harold and George squeezed into the tightlypacked Bonanza.
“I will be back in three weeks,” Harold told Lillian.
“You had better be back by then, because I need
you to help mow grass,” she said, as her eyes
welled up. She was proud of her husband, but
couldn’t help being apprehensive as well. It was a
long way from Wilmington to Europe in a small
plane.
The motor started and the heavily loaded aircraft strained as the crowd cheered, and the plane
gathered speed very slowly. The soft green grass
and trees gradually began to fade as the airplane
steadily climbed above the landmarks of Clinton
County and achieving ﬂying speed.
They were on their way.
Harold ﬂew the ﬁrst leg to Binghamton, N.Y,
then to Portland, Maine, and on to New Brunswick, Canada. It wasn’t long before they were
headed toward Goose Bay, Newfoundland, before
heading across the North Atlantic.
As the plane hovered over the Atlantic, it was
dark and cold. BANG! A bang like a riﬂe shot rang
out. According to Harold, he couldn’t see his own
face, but he said if he could have, it would have
been the same as George’s. It was terror time.
They remained in the air, thinking the problem
had resolved itself.
Ten minutes later, another loud bang occurred.
That time, George saw one of the gas tanks jump.
The ice had caused the tank to freeze and then it
expanded causing the loud bangs. They returned
to Goose Bay.
The next day George and Harold took off again,
heading back toward the ocean. That time the ice
formed quickly, and the air became thin. They
donned oxygen masks to ease their breathing and
settled in for the long journey to Holland. As they
passed Iceland they marveled as icebergs were
tossed against the rock walls.

Cracking eggs carefully from now on
The Easter bunny has
come and gone. If you
still have colored eggs
in your refrigerator, the
nutritional quality is deteriorating by the minute.
A week is the maximum
holding time for colored
eggs.
One of my favorite
Easter memories is about
hard-cooked eggs. About
10 years ago, I had two
cartons of eggs in my
refrigerator. I cooked one
dozen and returned them
to the original carton.
The day before Easter I
pulled them out of the
refrigerator to dye. I was
certain that I had decorated the hard-cooked eggs.
The pastel eggs added
festive color to the Easter
baskets and my dinner
table before returning to
the refrigerator within
two hours.
It is a fun Randall tradition that colored Easter

By Alex Hawley

MARIETTA, Ohio — The offensive day the
Lady Marauders had been waited for.
The Meigs softball team — which fell to Marietta by a 4-3 count on April 11 in Rocksprings —
avenged that setback with a season-high in runs
on Tuesday in Washington County, as the Maroon
and Gold defeated their non-conference host by an
18-4 tally.
After a scoreless ﬁrst inning, Meigs (9-12) broke
the scoreless tie as Jerrica Smith and Alyssa Smith
scored on back-to-back bases loaded walks. A tworun double by Ciera Older gave Meigs a 4-0 lead,
and then Taylor Swartz scored on a passed ball to
make the margin 5-0.
Older scored on an error before to give the
guests a 6-0 lead, and then after the ﬁrst out of
the inning, Katie Hawkins singled home Breanna
Zirkle to give the Maroon and Gold a 7-0 edge.
Marietta got one run back in the bottom of the
second, but Meigs scored four runs on three hits,
an error and a walk in the top of the third.
The Lady Marauders combined four hits and
four walks to score six times in the top of the
fourth, moving ahead 17-1. Swartz singled home
Jadyn Floyd for Meigs’ ﬁnal run in the top of the
ﬁfth inning.
The Lady Tigers came up with three runs in
the bottom of the ﬁfth, but couldn’t avoid the 18-4
mercy rule loss.
Alyssa Smith was the winning pitcher of record
in three innings for the Lady Marauders, allowing
four runs, three earned, on ﬁve hits and a walk,
while striking out four. Zirkle pitched the ﬁnal two
frames in shut out fashion, striking out two batters
and giving up three hits.
Rhylen Tucker took the loss in one inning of
work for the hosts, allowing seven runs, three
earned, on two hits and ﬁve walks. Rachel Schoﬁeld ﬁnished the game for the Orange and Black,

TVC Hocking softball contest in Mercerville, Ohio.

Southern avenges Lady Rebels
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— They ﬁnished what
they started.
The Southern softball
team built a 7-1 lead
through four innings
and ultimately held on
Tuesday night en route
to a 9-7 victory over host
South Gallia in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division matchup in
Gallia County.
The Lady Tornadoes
(6-11, 4-10 TVC Hocking) led wire-to-wire in
the seven-inning affair, as
the guests plated three
runs in the top of the
ﬁrst.
Abby Cummins singled
in Ally Shuler with the
eventual game-winning
run with two away in the
frame, then Emma Cooper — a courtesy runner
for Cummins — scored
on an Avery King single
to make it 2-0. King also
scored on an error that
allowed Baylee Grueser
to reach safely.
The Lady Rebels (3-13,

2-13) rallied back to
within two as Sydney St.
Clair scored on a two-out
error in the bottom of the
second, but the Purple
and Gold answered with
two runs in each of the
next two frames.
Grueser singled home
both Shuler and Cooper
with two away in the top
of the third, then Brooke
Crisp singled home Valerie Ritchart to start the
fourth. Crisp later came
home on a one-out single
by Shuler that increased
the lead out 7-1 after four
full frames.
With one out and the
bases loaded in the bottom of the ﬁfth, the Red
and Gold found a spark
as Chloe Payne grounded
into a ﬁelder’s choice that
allowed Makayla Waugh
to score. Gabby Spurlock
followed with a double
that plated both Hurlow
and Payne while trimming the deﬁcit down to
7-4.
Southern retaliated
with a run in the top of
the sixth as King received
a bases-loaded, two-out

walk that forced in Crisp
for an 8-4 edge.
Payne drove in both
St. Clair and Waugh with
a two-out single in the
bottom of the sixth, then
Hurlow scored on an
error that allowed Spurlock to reach safely while
trimming the deﬁcit
down to one.
Shuler tacked on an
insurance run in the
seventh with a two-out
single that plated Crisp
for a 9-7 edge. SGHS
had the tying run at the
plate with two outs in the
home half of the seventh,
but a ﬁelder’s choice putout at second ultimately
completed the outcome.
The Lady Tornadoes
salvaged a season split
with South Gallia after
dropping a 10-6 decision
at Star Mill Park back on
March 29.
The Lady Rebels outhit
the guests by a 12-9 overall margin and also committed four of the seven
errors in the contest.
Both teams stranded nine
runners on base.
Cummins was the win-

ning pitcher of record
after allowing three
earned runs, 12 hits and
one walk over seven
innings while striking out
three. Waugh took the
loss after surrendering
eight runs (six earned),
eight hits and ﬁve walks
over six frames while fanning ﬁve.
Shuler led SHS with
three hits and Cummins
added two safeties, followed by King, Grueser,
Ritchart and Crisp with
a hit each. Shuler, King
and Grueser each drove
in two RBIs apiece, while
Crisp scored three runs.
Hurlow paced the hosts
with three hits, followed
by Waugh, Madisyn Spurlock and Isabella Cochran
with two safeties each.
Payne, Gabby Spurlock
and Madison Lucas also
had a hit apiece in the
setback.
Payne drove in a teamhigh three RBIs, while
Waugh and Hurlow each
scored a pair of runs.

Marietta Tigers shut out Meigs, 9-0
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

MARIETTA, Ohio — An unfortunate feeling of déjà vu.
The Meigs baseball team was
held off the scoreboard and managed just four hits for the second
straight night, as non-conference
host Marietta picked up a 9-0 victory over the Maroon and Gold on
Tuesday.

Meigs (7-8) had its best chance
to score in the top of the ﬁrst
inning, but had a runner thrown
out trying to score and didn’t reach
third base again.
Marietta — which also defeated
the Marauders by a 6-5 count on
April 11 in Rocksprings — broke
the scoreless tie on Tuesday with
two runs in the bottom of the second.
After back-to-back scoreless

frames, the Tigers pushed three
runs across in the ﬁfth and four
more in the sixth, capping off the
9-0 win.
Michael Kesterson took the
pitching loss in a complete game
for Meigs, allowing nine runs, four
earned, on eight hits and three
walks, while striking out two.

the quarterback, saying
that in a way, Roethlisberger was dealing with
“52 kids” on the roster,
a challenge for some of
Roethlisberger’s teammates to take on a greater
role in the locker room.
Not that Roethlisberger
minds the responsibility.
He has been unapologetic in his approach
and unafraid to call out
himself and others when
the team fails to play to
the standard it has set for
itself during his largely
successful tenure.
Roethlisberger ﬂirted
with retirement after
the 2016 season but has

found a renewed sense
of energy in his mid-30s.
Having an offensive line
that has kept him upright
has certainly helped.
Roethlisberger has been
sacked an average of
20½ times over the last
four years — compared
with an average of 42
times per season between
2006-13 — due in part
to stellar play in front
of him and an approach
predicated on getting the
ball out faster while shying away from the “Ben
being Ben” stuff that led
to a mix of big plays and
big mistakes earlier in his
career.

Invigorated after
Game 7 win, Bruins
look to Blue Jackets
BOSTON (AP) — The Bruins needed performances from up and down their roster to
outlast the Toronto Maples Leafs in yet another
seven-game slugfest between the Original Six
franchises.
Boston will literally have just a day to enjoy
its 5-1 win over Toronto in Game 7 on Tuesday
night, with their Eastern Conference semiﬁnals
matchup with Columbus set to open at TD Garden on Thursday night.
But that’s just ﬁne with Bruins coach Bruce
Cassidy.
“I don’t mind the quick turnaround necessarily when you’re playing well,” Cassidy said. “Our
last two games we have played well. I thought
the start of this series we had time off, we
rested players. We had a couple of practices and
all of a sudden maybe it’s too much information.
I think they were overloading. This way they
won’t be able to get so (overloaded).”
Cassidy is giving his players the day off
Wednesday while his coaching staff breaks down
ﬁlm and puts together a game plan for the Blue
Jackets. The plan is to do just a morning review
with players Thursday before taking the ice for
Game 1 in the evening.
Though Boston has the home ice-advantage
in the series, the Bruins are expecting it to be
tough defend against a team that stunned a
Lightning team that tied an NHL record with 62
victories in the regular season.
Bruins fourth-line center Sean Kuraly, who
came up big with a goal and an assist in Game
7 against Toronto, is a Dublin, Ohio native and
well aware of the buzz Columbus has created
around his home state.
“They’re playing really well and probably one
of the hottest teams in the league right now
after taking down Tampa,” Kuraly said. “They’re
going to be a really tough team.”
Boston went 2-1-0 against the Blue Jackets in
the regular season with a 7-4 road loss back on
March 12, a 2-1 overtime win in Boston March
16 and 6-2 victory in Columbus on April 2.
“The good news is we saw them three times
late in the year. That’ll help with our preparation, should help with the players,” Cassidy said.
“We know they were physical against Tampa.
They came after them. They got key saves.
Power play was lights out. So, we got our hands
full. Listen, we’re looking forward. I think it’ll
be a good matchup for us. I think the teams are
similarly built, so it should be a good series.
Part of Cassidy’s optimism about the quick
turnaround stems from Boston’s health, which
he said may be better than it’s been at any point
this season.
Boston was also able to win in different ways
against Toronto.
Bruins got eight goals in the ﬁrst six games
from stars Brad Marchand (four), Patrice
Bergeron (two) and David Pastrnak (two). But
they relied on third- and fourth-liners Joakim
Nordstrom, Sean Kuraly and Marcus Johansson
to key their offense in Game 7.
Boston also has been efﬁcient on power plays,
going 7 for 16 (43 so far this postseason, while
allowing only one short-handed goal. Meanwhile, Boston’s defense has been able to stop
opponents’ chances, going 13 of 16 on penalty
kills (81%), including a crucial 2 for 2 in Game
7.
And perhaps most importantly, netminder
Tuukka Rask is playing some of his best hockey.
He had 30-plus saves four times against Toronto, including stopping 32 of 33 shot attempts in
Game in the series-deciding win.
“I personally felt good from the start of the
series. I felt pretty good all year, obviously the
workload hasn’t been too much so I feel fresh,”
Rask said. “It’s all about feeling conﬁdent,
preparing yourself the right way, trusting your
teammates. We battled hard all year and it
showed again today.”
Coupled with the fact that the Bruins had to
fend off elimination in Game 6 at Toronto to
force the Game 7 and it adds up to a lot of conﬁdence throughout their locker room.
“Relentless. Resilient. Whatever you want to
call it,” Bruins forward Charlie Coyle said.
