shooting incident involving an infant victim in Ohio Township.
OHIO TWP. — The

of Crown City, Ohio,
had been charged with
Attempted Aggravated
Murder and was being

bond in the Gallia Jail.
Ruane was identified by
officials as the child’s
mother. Shortly after the
press conference, it was
announced the child,
who had been transported to a Huntington-area
hospital, had died.
“It is unfortunate at
this time that we report
the victim in this investigation has succumbed
to the injuries she sustained,” a joint statement
from Champlin and Holdren, read. “As a result of
these new facts, we have
filed a charge of Aggravated Murder this afternoon in the Gallipolis
Municipal Court, against
the defendant Joyceann
Louise Ruane.”
Holdren later confirmed with Ohio Valley

Eastern BOE discusses reopening plan
Sept. 8 is first day for students
By Kayla Hawthorne
khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.
com
REEDSVILLE — The
Eastern Local Board of
Education met on Thursday evening and discussed the reentry plan
for the 2020-21 school
year.
District Supt. Steve
Ohlinger said a committee of 16 members,
mainly including school
administrators, submitted their suggested plan
to the board. After much
discussion and questions
to the committee, the
board asked for a few
changes to the plan and
some time to consider
the suggestions, according to Ohlinger.
The board also
amended the calendar to
change the start date for
students as Sept. 8.
The topics in the suggested plan included
remote learning options,
blended learning options
and a required mask
wearing policy.
There will be a remote
learning option for parents and students who
choose that route.
“We will have a remote
option for those parents
for those children who
might have a compromised immune system
or they’re just still a little
fearful to send their kids
back to school,” Ohlinger
said. “That will be taught
by our Eastern Local
teaching staff.”
Ohlinger said the
remote learning option
would not have to be
online and it does not
have to be completed
during traditional school
hours. The remote option
would allow students to
complete the work with
pencil and paper packs
as well as have virtual
“classrooms” with the
teachers. These “classrooms” would be through
Google, according to
Ohlinger, and could be
connected via a telephone.
In the suggested plan
submitted by the committed, students would
be in the school buildings
two days per week and
have three days of schooling at home. Ohlinger
said this arrangement
would give teachers time
to have Google meetings
with the remote learners.
Ohlinger said a
mask wearing policy is
required for the school.
In the plan, the committee had all ages of students and staff required
to wear masks.
The topic of food for
students when not in the
physical classroom was
discussed by the committee. Ohlinger said
nothing is final on the

Reenactors fire the cannon at the recent memorial service.
The history of ‘Morgan’s Raid’
Ohio’s only significant Civil War land battle
By Lorna Hart
Special to OVP
PORTLAND — During the annual memorial service at Buffington
Island Battlefield there
is a laying of wreaths,
the firing of cannons by
reenactors, introductions
and speeches, all in observance of the only major
battle of the Civil War to
take place on Ohio soil,
the battle that ended the
incursion of Brigadier
General John H. Morgan
and his troops.
Not only is the day
important in remembering the battle, it also
honors those who fought
on the battlefield, and in
the towns and villages
along Morgan’s route.
It helps us to remember
Ohio’s place in the conflict and the contribution
of people on both sides of
the Ohio River in abolishing slavery and defending
the Union at a time it was
being torn apart by conflicting values and ideals.
As taps played at the
conclusion of the solemn service, the coming
together of both Union
and Confederate representatives illustrates that
brothers and sisters who
became enemies could
become united once
again.
A brief history of Morgan’s Indiana-Ohio Raid:
Morgan and 2,500 Confederate cavalrymen and
artillerymen began their
march in Alexandria, Tennessee on June 11, 1863,
and in the following 25
days traveled 958 miles
before arriving at Buffington Island,where they
planned to cross the Ohio
River into Virginia.
Morgan’s instructions
were to divert Union forces away from the Confederate armies gathered in
Tennessee, and to stay in
Tennessee and Kentucky.
Having earlier expressed
a desire to continue, Morgan disobeyed orders and
crossed into Indiana and
then into Ohio, procuring
supplies by raiding stores
and home, and confiscating horses.
There were a few skirmishes and minor battles
along the way, but nothing to stop their progress
through Ohio until they
began to encounter more
Union militia. Word
spread that the Raiders
were coming, and townspeople began to prepare
to defend themselves,
making it more difficult
for the Raiders to replenish their supplies.
Morgan’s troops continued to push east, but
seemed to always be on
the lookout for a river
escape route.
Drums were used as communication for the telling of time and
duties in camp, and for communicating commands that guided the
actions of the troops on the march and during battles.
HISTORY IN
PLAIN SIGHT
- West Virginia become
a state June 20, 1863,
about a month before
Morgan’s Raid.
- Officially called
Morgan’s Indiana-Ohio
Raid.
- To many Confederates,
the expedition behind
enemy lines became
known as The Great Raid
of 1863.
- Northern newspapers
labeled it The Calico
Raid, in reference to
the raiders’ propensity
for procuring personal
goods from local stores
and houses.
Reenactors from Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War John Townsend Camp #108, Gen. Benjamin
Fearing Camp #2, SUVCW, Cadot-Blessing Camp #126, and Brooks-Grant Camp #7 participated in
Saturday’s memorial.
Reenactors mingled with the crowd following the service.
In “Morgan’s Raiders”
by Neil Elvick, it is noted
that military leaders
thought the force in Gallipolis was sufficient to prevent him from attempting
a crossing.
They were apparently
correct, as most of Morgan’s troops moved on.
A small contingency,
probably a foraging party,
came though the villages
of Vinton and Porter in
Gallia County and on into
Middleport in Meigs..
When the main party
arrived in Meigs, they
decided to cross the river
at Pomeroy into Mason
instead of journeying further upriver as planned.
Local militia from Gallia
and Meigs prepared for
their arrival by falling
trees and tearing up
bridges to block his path.
Militia were posted along
the route, and according
to “Pioneer History of
Meigs County” by James
M. Evans, “Near Pomeroy they (Morgan) made
a stand. For four or
five miles his road ran
through a ravine, with
occasional intersections
from hill roads. At all
these crossings he found
a local militia posted, and
from the hills above him
they made his passage
through the ravine a perfect running of the gaunt-

Unable to gain river
access at Pomeroy, Morgan continued toward
Portland, stopping
briefly in Chester while
his troops rested and he
searched for a guide.
Morgan and his troops,
tired from fighting and
riding, arrived at Buffington Island late in the day,
and decided to rest and
begin the crossing the
next morning. This pause
allowed pursuing cavalry
forces and gunboats to
join the Marietta Militia
that was in place guarding the ford.
A two hour battle
began at 5:30 am. Sensing defeat, Morgan, along
with about 1,100 men,
escaped while the rest of
his force surrendered.
He later attempted a
crossing near Reedsville
and Hockingport, across
from Belleville, West Virginia. He was again met
with Union forces and
gunboats, and forced to
turn west and then north.

Works leveled them. And
of course, those are not
the only ruins in what is
now the McClintic Wildlife Area.
All throughout
McClintic, the ruins
stand like West Virginia’s
version of Stonehenge.
The foundations of two
power plants, remnants of
a dozen TNT production
lines, concrete towers
that once supported two
dozen acid storage tanks,
104 igloos, and two enormous reservoirs on the
hill overlooking the plant
stand as a testament to
American engineering
capabilities during a time
when speed was essential.
With such fantastic and
historic ruins, wonderful fishing and kayaking
opportunities in over two
dozen ponds, hunting and
trapping opportunities,
the potential for miles of
hiking and biking opportunities in the hunting
off-season, and of course,
the Mothman legend, the
TNT
Area has some real
economic potential with
just a little bit of work in
camping and trail infrastructure. The public
has made it fairly clear
that this is something
with serious interest,
Company’s coal tipple.
That odd riverbank protrusion? That truly was
an early ice break, just
upriver from the Hartford
wharf. And those are only
the beginning.
The most extensive
salt ruins are just outside
of town, across Route
62 from Harvey Road.
Most people notice the
small brick ruins just off
the road, which was part
of the Lerner Bromine
Works associated with
the German Salt Furnace.
What fewer people notice
are the massive sandstone
block foundations and
terraces behind that small
building, which formed
the foundation of the
salt furnace itself. If one
didn’t know better, these
could easily be mistaken
for terraced gardens, like
those at the Mai Moore
Mansion.
That domed structure
in the woods? I’m sure
all of my readers know
that I was referring to
the “igloos,” but as overgrown as some of them
are, out-of-town visitors
who may not be familiar
with the TNT Area or

Last week was “an
American Parthenon.”
This idea of this week’s
article is along those
same lines, but in a slightly different direction.
House ruins, whether
those of a frontier homestead or massive plantation, are usually recognizable as a house. It’s quite
obvious that someone
once lived there, though
only a portion of it might
still be standing. And the
value of such a ruin lies in
its beauty and grace, its
picturesque qualities.
An industrial ruin is
a bit different, because
they’re usually unidentifiable unless you already
know what you’re seeing. A pile of sandstone
blocks in the middle of
town could have been the
foundation of a home, or
it could have been a salt
furnace. An odd bumpedout section of the riverbank could be natural,
or it could be an early
version of an ice pier,
like the concrete versions
later built at Middleport
and Gallipolis. A domed
structure in the woods,
if completely overgrown,
could easily be mistaken
for an Indian mound if
you weren’t familiar with
that particular area. If you
haven’t noticed yet, these
are all examples from
Mason County.
The Bend Area is
covered in the remnants
of the salt and coal
industries, and nowhere
is this more clear than
Hartford. That pile of
large sandstone blocks?
In the trailer park, there
is a large mound beneath
which is buried a large
pile of sandstone blocks.

but of course, the trick
is balancing that economic potential with
the responsibilities of
a Wildlife Management
Area.
Can it be done? It
seems like Bluestone
Lake WMA, with its
seven camping areas and
22 miles of hiking trails,
has been fairly successful. Granted, they have
Bluestone Lake and the
New River Gorge, but
we have the Ohio River,
Kanawha River, and in
my opinion, one of the
best downtowns between
Wheeling and Cincinnati!
Or, perhaps we
ought to take a page
from Beech Fork Lake?
Rather than develop the
WMA itself, perhaps the
answer is to develop a
neighboring parcel as a
full-fledged state park
with all of the usual amenities. Then, as fishing,
hunting, and kayaking
would remain the same,
the only change necessary to the WMA itself
would be to develop a
few hiking trails, which
benefits anglers and
hunters who need access
to the back country as
much as it would hikers and could be easily
accomplished simply by
bush-hogging the old
ordnance works roads.
Maybe the land around
the airport, currently
slated for industrial
development, could be
purchased and used for
this purpose? It’s just a
thought, anyhow.

White House, GOP at odds over jobless aid
By Lisa Mascaro
AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON — Negotiations over the next COVID-19
rescue bill were in flux Friday
after the White House floated
cutting an unemployment benefits boost to as little as $100
and President Donald Trump
turned to a new priority, adding
money to build a new FBI headquarters.
Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell sent senators
home, promising a Republican
proposal would be ready on
Monday. Outraged Democrats
warned that time is wasting
on GOP infighting as the virus
worsens, jobless aid expires and
the death toll rises.
“We call upon Leader McConnell to get serious,” said House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck
Schumer in a statement.
During a head-spinning week
of start-and-stop progress,
McConnell abruptly halted the
rollout of Republicans’ $1 trillion plan, which was supposed
to provide a counter-offer to
Democrats’ $3 trillion bill in an
opening bid for negotiations.
Plans shifted after Trump was
forced to abandon his push for
a payroll tax break, which his
party opposed, and the White
House turned to the new priorities.
As Republicans struggled, the
Andrew Harnik | AP
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, accompanied by Rep. Dan Kildee,
D-Mich., left, and Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., right, speaks at a news conference
Friday on Capitol Hill in Washington on the extension of federal unemployment
benefits.
nation’s infections topped 4 million, the number of deaths rose
this week by several thousands,
to nearly 145,000, and the $600
unemployment benefit boost for
millions of out-of-work Americans was put on track to expire.
As McConnell shuttered the
Senate, he promised to return
with “a strong, targeted piece of
legislation aimed directly at the
challenges we face right now.”
The GOP leader, who is up
for reelection in November
alongside Trump, dashed home
to Kentucky for an event with
the nation’s drug czar, Jim
Carroll, in part of Appalachia
confronting opioid addiction.
Kentucky has faced skyrocketing overdose deaths.
One sticking point for Republicans trying to resolve their dif-
ferences with the White House
is how to cut the $600 weekly
jobless benefit boost that is
expiring.
Republicans largely believe
the add-on, which had been
approved in an earlier aid bill, is
too robust and becoming a disincentive for returning to work.
In some situations, the boost
gives the unemployed more
money than if they were working. Under McConnell’s plan,
senators proposed cutting it
to $200 and then transitioning
over the next few months to a
new system more closely linked
to state’s own payment levels.
An administration official
granted anonymity to discuss
the private talks said the White
House viewed the Senate GOP’s
proposal as too “cumbersome”

and the $200 boost as too high.
A number of different solutions were being discussed, the
official said Thursday, including
dropping the add-on payment
to $100.
Democrats warned time is
running out. The benefit officially expires July 31, but due
to the way states process unemployment payments, the cutoff
was effectively Saturday.
Rep. Richie Neal, D-N.J., the
chairman of the House Ways
& Means Committee, said the
nation is on “the eve of an economic catastrophe.”
The U.S. registered its 18th
straight week of new jobless
claims topping 1 million, with
an unemployment rate at 11
percent, higher than during last
decade’s Great Recession. A
new AP-NORC poll said half of
Americans laid off now believe
their job will not return.
“People need the sustenance
of day-to-day life,” Neal said at
the Capitol. He said the extra
aid not only helps cash-strapped

MLB, players agree to expand playoffs to 16 teams
NEW YORK (AP) — Major
League Baseball and the players’ union agreed Thursday to
expand the playoffs from 10
teams to 16 for the pandemicdelayed season, a decision
that makes it likely teams with
losing records will reach the
postseason.
The agreement was reached
hours before the season opener
between the New York Yankees
and World Series champion
Washington Nationals. The
deal applied only for 2020 and
included a surprise benefiting
the Yankees the most: Collection of baseball’s luxury tax
will be suspended this year, a
person familiar with the details
told The Associated Press,
speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made.
Sixteen of the 30 teams will
advance to a best-of-three first
round: the first- and secondplace teams in every division
and the next two clubs by
winning percentage in each
league. Those winners move
on to the best-of-five Division
Series, where the usual format
resumes. The final four teams
are in best-of-seven League
Championship Series, and the
pennant winners meet in the
best-of-seven World Series.
“It’s such a unique season,
why not try a little something
different and make it as exciting as possible,” said Colorado
shortstop Trevor Story, whose
team has never won a World
Series title. “I know it’s going
to be such a sprint with the
60-game season; adding more
playoff teams will just add to
the fire and the excitement and
the fandom around the game.
Anything can happen in a
60-game season. I’m all for it.”
In each league, the division
winners will be seeded 1-3, the
second-place teams 4-6 and the
teams with the next two-best
records 7-8, which means up
to four teams in one division
could be in the postseason. The
first round pairings will be 1 vs.
8, 2-7, 3-6 and 4-5.
“This season will be a sprint
to a new format that will allow
more fans to experience playoff
baseball,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a
statement.
The higher seed in the first
round will host all games from
Sept. 29 to Oct. 2.
“For me personally, a little
less than ideal that there’s
not more weight given to the
division winners,” Gerrit Cole
said after winning his Yankees
debut, 4-1 at Nationals Park
in a game called in the sixth
inning because of rain.
Tiebreaker games, which
have produced famous home
runs by Bobby Thomson and
Bucky Dent, are eliminated.
Ties would be broken by headto-head record, followed by
better record within a team’s
division and record in the last
20 games within the division. If
still tied, the standard would be
last 21 games within a division,
then 22, etc.
Teams could finish the regular season with differing games
played; regular-season postponements would be made up
at the discretion of Manfred.
As part of the deal, MLB
agreed to guarantee a postseason pool that would be $50
million: $20 million if the first
round is played and $10 mil-
lion for each additional round.
The postseason pool usually
comprises ticket money from
the postseason, but baseball
anticipates playing the entire
year in empty ballparks due to
the coronavirus.
“The opportunity to add
playoff games in this alreadyabbreviated season makes
sense for fans, the league and
players,” union head Tony
Clark said in a statement. “We
hope it will result in highly
competitive pennant races as
well as exciting additional playoff games to the benefit of the
industry.”
ESPN was given rights to
seven of eight first-round series
and TBS the other for no
additional money as a makeup
for missed games. ESPN and

If college football is
played, will bowls
be salvaged, too?
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press
College football leaders are in the process of
piecing together plans for a regular season during
the COVID-19 pandemic.
If it is possible to play, everyone anticipates
there will be disruptions, added expenses and
loads of stress just to get through it.
So how motivated will schools be to tack on a
postseason game after all that? Especially one that
doesn’t determine a national title?
“You’ve got to think they’ll be such a heightened sensitivity to adding another opportunity
that doesn’t contribute to something else,” Notre
Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said. “I
imagine the top bowls will want to try and still do
it. But you’ve got to wonder if the schools will be
willing to play. You made it through the regular
season and now your going to add another event
that adds complexity and cost.”
There are more bowl games scheduled for the
coming season than ever before in major college
football: 42, not including the College Football
Playoff championship. Less than five months away
from bowl season, most of them don’t even have
a date locked in yet. If the regular season can be
saved, can the postseason be salvaged, too?
“I have yet to hear one thought on the part of
any of the conferences that they would have a
regular season and not have a postseason,” said
Nick Carparelli, the new executive director of the
Football Bowl Association.
At the top of the postseason hierarchy is the
playoff. The semifinals are scheduled to to be
played Jan. 1 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and te Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The
championship game is set for Jan. 11 at Hard Rock
Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
As of now, none of that has changed, CFP executive director Bill Hancock said.
“This is an event you can’t just pick up and easily move to a different time window,” Hancock
said.
Then there are the other New Year’s Six games.
The Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, is scheduled
for Dec. 30. The Peach Bowl in Atlanta is set for
early afternoon New Year’s Day, leading into the
semifinal games. The Fiesta Bowl in Glendale,
Arizona, and Orange Bowl in South Florida are
scheduled for Jan. 2.
Those games, along with the semifinals, are
part of 12-year, $5.6 billion media rights deal with
ESPN that pays about $470 million annually. Most
of the money ends up with the Power Five conferences, though some trickles down to FCS.
“We’re going to be as flexible as they need us to
be,” Peach Bowl chief executive officer Gary Stokan said. “If they need us to move back two weeks,
we’ll move back two weeks.”
Fiesta Bowl CEO Mike Nealy said bowls of all
shapes and sizes will need to be flexible this year.
“From our standpoint, we know that dates could
change,” said Nealy, whose organizing group also
runs the Cactus Bowl played at Chase Field in
Phoenix.
According the website FBSchedules.com, dates
and times have not been locked in yet for 31
major-college bowl games.
Those could start falling into place soon with
conferences expected to roll out new regular-season schedules as soon as next week. The Big Ten
and Pac-12 have already said they will play only
conference games.
The other Power Five conferences appear to
be moving toward playing mostly conference
games. That causes issues with the bowl selection process from the CFP down to the Cure
Bowl, which matches Group of Five teams in
Orlando, Florida.

Ohio is approaching
the 30-day countdown
for high school football.
West Virginia would be
doing the same if it were
not for COVID-19 pushing the start date back to
September.
With more than a
month left before kickoff,
it’s time to look at the
2020 schedules for each
program in the Ohio Valley Publishing area.
Wednesday will mark
the official 30-day countdown mark of the fall
gridiron season in Ohio,
while West Virginia’s
opening date has been
pushed back to the first
weekend of September
— which ends up being
Week 2 of the Ohio
schedule.
The Mountain State
was to originally start
the same time as Ohio,
but the coronavirus pandemic pushed everything
back one week.
Of the three Mason
County programs, only
Point Pleasant ended up
losing a game with the
schedule push-back. The
Big Blacks lost their season-opening contest at
Greenbrier East because
of the delay.
PPHS now has nine
games on the slate as it
had a scheduled bye in
Week 2, which is now the
season opener in West
Virginia. Point Pleasant
is still openly looking for
a Week 2 opponent, but

it is also prepared to play
a 9-game schedule.
Both Wahama and
Hannan lucked out in
having Week 1 byes
scheduled for the 2020
campaign, so both the
White Falcons and Wildcats have a full docket
of 10 games — with an
even blend of five home
and five road games.
The Big Blacks will
play five of their nine
regular season games in
the friendly confines of
Ohio Valley Bank Track
and Field, with their
season opener coming in
Week 3 against visiting
Gallia Academy.
Point Pleasant also
plays three straight home
games to start the year,
as well as four of their
first five overall, before
embarking on a 3-game
road trip before wrapping up the season at
home against Winfield.
Wahama — which
begins Little Kanawha
Conference play this
fall — opens the year
with three straight home
games, starting with a
non-conference matchup
with Southern on Sept.
4.
The White Falcons
also have non-conference
games at Hannan, at
Hundred and at Federal
Hocking … as well as
their traditional season
finale with visiting Buffalo in early November.
Hannan opens the
year hosting Parkersburg
Catholic and will play
four of its first five games
at home. The Wildcats
make their final home
appearance against Van
on Oct. 23 before closing
out the year with road
bouts with Manchester
and Tolsia.
Both Gallia Academy
and Eastern qualified
for the playoffs last year,
the only programs in the
OVP area to make the
postseason.
GAHS is practically
playing the same schedule as a year ago, with
the exception of playing
Western Brown in Week
2 this year instead of
River Valley.
The Blue Devils —
who have an even slate of
five home and five road
contests — open the year
with consecutive home
games against Meigs and
Western Brown before
traveling to Point Pleasant in Week 3 for the
first of three consecutive
road bouts.
River Valley has two
new opponents on its
schedule this fall, including the season opener
against visiting Piketon.
RVHS also hosts South
Point in Week 3.
The Raiders — who
have only nine games —
will play their first four
games at home and have
six of their nine contests
at the friendly confines of
Raider Field.
