Returning home

“How it (the luncheon got started),
I brought up to one of my deacons
that I would be praying for them
because I grew up in that area,” said
Cheshire Baptist Pastor Jim Williams.
“I graduated from East Bank High
School and one of the guys there was
a year ahead of me in school … I’m
friends with one of the guys who is
doing better now. His name is Billy
Hypes and I’ve known him for 35
years. I have good ties there and
I’d just been praying for them. Our
church does fundraisers on a regular
basis for people in need and it was
suggested we do a fundraiser.”
A free-will offering will be taken
with the meal and all money raised
will go to assisting the families and
ﬁreﬁghters of Pratt.

A Cincinnati Fire Department medic administers Naloxone to a
man Nov. 2, 2017, while responding to a possible overdose report

methamphetamine and cocaine, often in mixtures with synthetic
opioids, are fueling rocketing overdose death tolls in states such
as Ohio, one of the nation’s hardest hit during the opioid crisis.

to the national rises in

States as different as
New Hampshire, West

The problem is particularly acute in Ohio,
where overdose death

IN BRIEF

Gloria Allred to represent 3
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Women’s rights
attorney Gloria Allred has agreed to represent
three women who lost eggs when an Ohio fertility
clinic storage tank malfunctioned.
Allred said at a news conference in Cleveland on
Monday that her clients are cancer survivors who
delayed chemotherapy to undergo fertility treatments at the clinic run by University Hospitals.
She says mistreatment of women is wrong anytime, but especially in such an intimate and personal part of life.

THEIR VIEW

The Parable of the
(Expletive Deleted)
Comfort Dog
My Dear Fellow Passenger,
May I say something honest to you, traveler to
traveler, friend to friend?
Your (expletive deleted) emotional support animal is driving me (expletive deleted) nuts.
Those words sprang to my mind a few days ago
as I boarded a small plane — two toddler-sized
seats on each side — and squeezed past the man
on the aisle, aiming for my refuge at the window.
The man was tall, ﬁt, 50-ish and cradling a large
bag which, I realized in dismay the moment I sat
down, contained a dog.
I have many fantasies of the kind
of person I’d like to be. I wish I were
a sailor, but I get nauseated on a
Mary
Schmich boat. I wish I were a fabulous cook,
Contributing but even my best pasta dish is only
passable. I am an amazing singer, but
columnist
only when no one’s listening.
And in my fantasies I’m the kind of
tender-hearted person who would coo at a brighteyed, wet-nosed little dog in the airplane seat
beside me.
Instead, I was mentally cursing.
I tried to convince myself that perhaps this man
really, truly, deeply needed the dog for this ﬂight
— in my fantasies, I am compassionate — but my
mind ﬁxed on all the bad things I’d heard about
comfort pets on airplanes.
You know: the possums and snakes traveling
under the guise of emotional support, the urinating and defecating of these non-human travelers,
the yapping and the whining, the lunging and the
growling, the licking and the drooling, the downright fraud that some passengers perpetrate just
because they think it would be nice to take a trip
with Tabby or Fido.
Was it on this airline that a dog bit a neighboring passenger in the face? From eavesdropping on
my neighbor’s conversation with another passenger, I learned the animal in 6B was named Sugar.
In my fantasies, I am not a person capable of harboring ill will toward a dog named Sugar.
And yet, as I felt Sugar’s doggy breath on my
elbow, I began silently composing a screed about
the abuse of the comfort-pet policy, hoping my
objections would join the growing body of such
vital public service journalism.
I was debating how to phrase my opening line
— could I use a curse word? — when the dog
owner spoke.
“Drugs kicked in just in time,” he said.
Whose drugs? His? Maybe he could share. Two
and a half hours in sealed, cramped, airborne
quarters next to a man and his dog called for a
sedative.
Before I could clarify the drug situation, my
neighbor went on. A while ago, he said, his precious golden retriever had died, and he’d been
sad. He’d sworn he wouldn’t get another one, but
a buddy of his, a breeder, had one pup left. When
offered, he couldn’t say no.
I glanced at the container, which by now had
been stowed beneath the seat in front of him. It
squirmed slightly. Was the puppy growing?
In my fantasies, by the time we landed, Sugar
would be taller than I am. And yet something
strange had started to happen. As the man talked,
I felt my crankiness soften, almost imperceptibly,
like a frozen stick of butter sitting on top of a
warm oven.
The man told me that he’d had a ﬁve-week outof-town vacation planned for a while and didn’t
feel right leaving the puppy with someone else for
that long, so he’d fed Sugar a prescribed amount
of phenobarbital and was hoping for a peaceful
ﬂight.
As we ﬂew over Kentucky and Pennsylvania, we
kept talking. The man mentioned that he’d married into a big Catholic family. He talked about his
kids. He told me about his sister-in-law, who had
joined a religious order at the age of 65, after her
boyfriend, a paraplegic, died.
By then, that stick of butter that was my heart
had turned to mush. I didn’t even mind — well,
not much — when he pulled Sugar out of the container and passed her to a passenger across the
aisle. And that’s why I call this story “The Parable
of the (Expletive Deleted) Comfort Dog”: Sometimes all it takes is some pleasant conversation,
the trading of a few life details, to make you realize that the enemy is your friend.
Even though I’d still prefer to travel dog-free.

Meigs, Wahama
split softball
doubleheader
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

HARTFORD, W.Va. — An even keel.
The Wahama softball team handed visiting
Meigs its ﬁrst loss in the opener, then the Lady
Marauders returned the favor in a doubleheader
night-cap on Saturday following scores of 9-5 and
17-6 in a pair of non-conference contests in Mason
County.
The Lady Falcons (3-1) twice had to rally in the
opener before using a big ﬁve-run ﬁfth to eventually cruise to a four-run win, but the hosts saw
their winning streak come to an end in the ﬁnale
as Meigs (2-1) scored three runs in four of the
ﬁve frames while leading wire-to-wire in the ﬁveinning outcome.
MHS started things on a good note as Taylor
Swartz led the game off with a double and later
scored on a pair of passed balls for a quick 1-0
cushion.
Ciera Older scored on a Peyton Rowe single for
a 2-0 cushion, then Breanna Zirkle scored on an
Alyssa Smith ﬁelder’s choice that gave Meigs its
largest lead of the game at 3-0.
Emily VanMatre singled home Hannah Rose
in the bottom of the ﬁrst to cut the deﬁcit down
to 3-1, then Emma Gibbs scored on an error and
Emily VanMatre came home on an Alexis Mick
ﬁelder’s choice in the third — allowing WHS to tie
things up at three.
Rowe singled home both Swartz and Older with
one away in the ﬁfth, allowing Meigs to reclaim
the lead at 5-3.
The Red and White, however, sent nine batters
to the plate in their half of the ﬁfth, which yielded
ﬁve runs on four hits, two ﬁelder’s choices and an
error.
Lauren Eades singled home Grace Maddox with
two away to close the deﬁcit down to one, then
Hannah Rose doubled home both Kailyn Alison
and Eades for a permanent lead at 6-5.

runs in bunches for the
Blue Devils, but just not
enough.
The Gallia Academy
baseball team scored a
dozen runs, but a threerun home run by Westfall in the ﬁfth inning
provided the difference
in a 14-12 setback on
Saturday in Pickaway
County.
The visiting Blue Devils (1-1) opened the top
of the ﬁrst inning with
a 1-0 advantage, but the
Mustangs countered
with a run in the bottom
of the frame to knot the
score at 1-1.
The seesaw exchange
of runs persisted in
the second inning as
the Blue and White
leaped to a 4-1 lead in
the top half — as John
Stout, Dylan Smith, and
Morgan Stanley each
score runs — but WHS
answered in its half to
take a 5-4 advantage.
The Mustangs
extended their lead in
the bottom of the third
frame, as they scored
ﬁve runs on ﬁve hits to
take a 10-4 lead midway
through the contest.
GAHS rallied in the

top of the ﬁfth inning, as
they sent ten batters to
the plate and manufactured six runs on three
hits to knot the game at
10-all.
The Mustangs
regained the lead in
the bottom of the ﬁfth
frame, as a three-run
home run by Sam Frazier helped the hosts
score four runs on four
hits and take a 14-10
lead.
The Blue and White
added two additional
runs in the top half of
the seventh inning,
but Westfall stiﬂed the
visitors hopes of a comeback in the ﬁnale to ear
a two-run victory.
GAHS combined for
eight hits in the contest,
as WHS pounded out 13
safeties. The Blue and
White committed two
errors, while Westfall
had four miscues.
Starting pitcher
Braden Simms pitched
just one inning, as he
faced 11 batters and
allowed ﬁve runs, three
hits and three walks.
Kaden Thomas provided
two and two-thirds of
relief and allowed ﬁve
unearned runs, ﬁve hits
and one base on balls.
Andrew Toler pitched
one-third inning of relief
four runs on four hits

with a walk. Cole Davis

totals for Gallia Academy with two innings of
work, as he surrendered
zero runs on one hit
with three strikeouts.

the winning pitcher
of record, as he he
appeared in two innings
of relief and surrendered
two runs, one hit, four
walks and three strikeouts. Luke Blackburn

OAK HILL, Ohio —
Finally off and running.
The Gallia Academy
softball team had to
wait a week for its
season opener, but the
Blue Angels made the
most of that long-awaited start after posting
wins of 9-7 and 14-8 in
a non-conference doubleheader against host
Oak Hill on Saturday in

The Blue Angels (2-0)
trailed 3-2 after an

two-run outcome.

outhit OHHS by a 14-7
overall margin, but committed four of the ﬁve

RBI in the ﬁnale as her
two-out single in the
second brought home
Meadows for a 1-0 cushion.

tacked on three runs
in the third thanks to a
bases-clearing double
with two away, then
added another three
runs in the fourth to
establish a commanding
7-0 cushion.
The Lady Oaks rallied to score six of the

game while closing to
within 7-6 through six
complete, but Meadows

added two runs in
the bottom half of the
seventh before ultimately running out of
outs, allowing the Blue
Angels to wrap up the
twin-bill sweep.

18-14 overall margin
