POMEROY — A month set aside to recognize those who serve their counties and communities was recognized during Thursday’s Meigs County Commissioner meeting. April is National County Government Month. The national theme for 2018 is “Serving the Underserved.” A proclamation approved by the commissioners noted that the nation’s 3,069 counties serve more than 300 million people, providing essential services, including providing health care, administering justice, keeping communities safe and creating economic opportunities. “Meigs County and all counties take pride in their responsibility to protect and enhance the health, welfare and safety of its residents in efﬁcient and cost-effective ways,” read a portion of the proclamation. “Meigs County elected ofﬁcials and employees work very hard for the people they serve, often doing so in an under-resourced, understaffed and underfunded environment.” In other business, Clerk/Grants See COUNTY | 7A MCHD releases annual report By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Health Department provides numerous services to residents across the county each year, and 2017 was no exception.

If someone was attempting to walk off with their property, they should tell someone to stop. King encouraged clients that the best way to avoid trouble was to not be there and to walk or run from it. “It’s about helping learn where boundaries are,” said Price. “I’ve never done a program like this,” said King. “I viewed it as a challenge and we said ‘How are we going to do it?’ So, what we did was talk about self-protection, and once we identiﬁed that avenue, it just ﬂowed. We ﬁgured we’d start at the basics and talk about what’s good and bad and then move into situational awareness. We talk about ways to protect yourself and cover up, like the wall or the turtle shell (techniques).” “They feel empowered after he leaves,” said Price. “I get to see the effects for the next few weeks where they are two inches taller.

Richmond’s “progress reﬂects that the juvenile system has accomplished exactly what it is supposed to in this case — rehabilitation,” state public defenders Brooke Burns and Katherine Sato argued in a March 19 court ﬁling. The 2012 case drew international attention because of the role of social media publicizing the assault, initial allegations of a cover-up by local authorities and frustration that more football players weren’t charged. Last year, Youngstown State sidelined Richmond after getting backlash about his playing football. After Richmond sued, a settlement with the university allowed him to stay on the active roster.

Pastor, family enter pleas TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A pastor and two family members accused by police of robbing a Sunday school teacher at gunpoint at their Ohio church have pleaded no contest to reduced charges. The Blade reports 50-yearold The Rev. Anthony Morris of Toledo’s St. Paul’s AME Zion Church entered a plea Thursday to misdemeanor assault. His wife, 46-year-old Zelda Morris, entered a plea to criminal endangering and their 18-year-old daughter, Kamali, to disorderly conduct. The three faced aggravated robbery charges after police said Zelda Morris took items from the teacher’s purse during a confrontation in February. Defense attorney Neil McElroy says the pastor’s wife and daughter only fought with the victim, and the pastor pulled the gun to break it up. Anthony and Zelda Morris could receive six months in jail during sentencing May 21. Officers never left cruiser CINCINNATI (AP) — Newly released police body cam footage shows ofﬁcers staying in their cruiser as they searched for an Ohio teenager who became trapped in the back of a minivan and called 911 for help but died. Cincinnati ofﬁcials are trying to determine how the two ofﬁcers failed to ﬁnd high school student Kyle Plush last week after he made two 911 calls from inside the minivan begging for help and providing a dispatcher with a description and location of the minivan in a school parking lot. The video was released Friday and shows three minutes of the ofﬁcers’ search. Records show ofﬁcers were at the school for about 11 minutes.

The show will be ongoing until the end of May. Thornton stated, “The name of my show is, ‘West Virginia: A Day and a Night,’ which features my landscape photography from around the state of West Virginia. Part of the emphasis of the show is on my night sky photography, which is what I’m most known for. I’m doing things that no other photographer in the state is doing and presenting views that not many have seen before.” Thornton shared he has approximately 50 framed photos ranging in price from $100 to $500, matted prints of all sizes will be starting at $10 a piece, and a limited number of West Virginia night sky themed calendars will be available which Thornton has been making for the last two years. Thornton is native to Point Pleasant, living in the city for 20 years. He currently resides in Huntington. “My ﬁrst gallery show was with the Gallery at 409, where I displayed about a dozen pieces with four other artists during an exhibit about two Courtesy Artist Jesse Thornton’s show will run through the end of May, the reception is set for Thursday, April 26 from 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. years ago,” said Thornton.

Thornton stated, “I had no thoughts or intention of putting my work on display or entering the art world at all, but I discovered I had a knack for composition and I enjoyed challenging myself to get better and better. I was also fascinated by the technical aspects of the camera and enjoyed pushing the limits of what I could do with low light photography, capturing things like the Milky Way against a night time landscape in more detail than we can see with the naked eye.

I am also a Rutland Village Council Member. In case you have not heard, Rutland Village has “New Management”. Most of the former Council and the Mayor resigned late last year leaving the town with no leadership and no direction. That plus other issues had caused Rutland to be on the verge of insolvency. The following residents have come forward to lead. Current Council Members and Staff are:Cliff Kennedy — President of Council and also recently retired from Meigs Local Schools; Duane Rick Bolin — lifelong resident of Weber Rutland Village and also recently Contributing retired; columnist Steve Jenkins — who has lived in Rutland for many years and has valuable previous experience on Council; Kimberly Willford — lifelong resident of the Village and active resident; Lowell Vance — former Mayor who has volunteered to stay on till the new council gets This new council, going; along with our Duane Weber — Mayor, have all come lifelong resident and together to put previous Council Member. service above self and decided to serve.

This new council, along with our Mayor, have all come together to put service above self and decided to serve. We are dedicated to turning things around in the town after years of neglect, mismanagement, apathy and theft by some former employees. Our goal is to make Rutland a great place to live…a place of community and families taking pride in their hometown. But we recognize we have a long way to go to get there and ask for your help and patience. We are currently going through records(the ones we can ﬁnd anyway) and trying to get organized and get a clearer picture of the many matters the Village is dealing with. We are determined that from this point forward, things will be done the correct way! We are also determined to be good stewards of the Village ﬁnances. With that being said, for various reasons leading up to this point, the town has very limited funds at present and limited income sources coming in to work with as well. Property taxes, a portion of the County Sales Tax, a permissive license plate fee and ﬁnes are about the only income revenues we have. In short, we need your help. As they say, we are all in this together and we are a community. Volunteer, get involved, help your neighbor, etc. We welcome your ideas on ways to make Rutland a better place, especially ways to increase revenue. It could be as simple as paying your property taxes. There are many properties in the Village that are delinquent and our portion of those taxes could make a huge difference in us being able to provide services back to the town. We have talked about having a sponsorship program where we could have a framed board recognizing those that have given ﬁnancially to the Village…possibly at different levels of giving. Another idea is to ask for “pledges” in which residents would agree to make a monthly dollar amount, such as $10 to $20 a month. Please let us know what you think. Any comments will be appreciated. There is a yellow “drop box” outside of the Civic Center where you can drop off any ideasyou may have (anonymously if you like) or you can contact any council member or village ofﬁcial. One idea we have come up with is to have a Rutland Community Yard and Craft Sale June 1 and 2. The Civic Center will be for craft vendors and craft spaces are available for $25 each. The James Vennari Park will be featuring the yard sales and spaces there will be available for $10 each.

To be fair, though, this writer can count himself among them and therefore shouldn’t be so critical of our collective lack of knowledge over how it operates.

The increase brought the salaries closer in line to that of other counties.

Fishing has always been a tradition in Gallia County, and rural America as a whole, as it’s a past time suitable for people of all ages and walks of life. “Fishing is Gallia County is a very important outdoor recreational activity for a lot of families, it creates a lot of good memories that folks spend time with their loved ones in the outdoors,” said Roy Rucker, State Wildlife Ofﬁcer for Gallia County. Ohio offers a free ﬁshing weekend annually to help promote the activity and expose it to Ohio residents who have never put a line in the water. The free ﬁshing days, May 6-7, are open to Ohio residents only. West Virginia will hold their free ﬁshing weekend on June 9-10, for West Virginia Residents. In Gallia County there are several public access ﬁshing spots; Tycoon Lake, Racoon Creek, Symmes Creek, Kenton (Pumpkintown) Lake, and of course the Ohio River. Anglers have the opportunity to catch a variety of ﬁsh, although many focus on catﬁsh and sunﬁsh (bass) species. “Due to our unseasonably cold weather, the bite for crappie has been delayed and is just now really starting to pick up,” said Rucker. “As the weather is going to warm up through this weekend and into next week, the bite is going to be really good.” Crappie are a type of sunﬁsh, the same as bluegill, largemouth Bass, pumkinheads, and others. The prefer slow moving waters with good vegetation for food and shelter. In Gallia, Tycoon like is an excellent location for sunﬁsh. They can also be found in larger pools along rivers and streams with good shelter. One popular species to go after in the spring time is hybrid striped bass on the Ohio. ”April and May provide an excellent opportunity to tackle the hard ﬁghting hybrid striped bass in the Ohio river. These ﬁsh congregate in the tail waters of dams and can be caught on a variety of baits from jigs and swim baits to live minnows,” said Rucker. “The ﬁshing access below the R.C. Byrd Dam provides excellent opportunities for the hybrid stripped bass when the river levels are normal.” “Catﬁshing has been popular for a long time in Gallia County,” said Rucker. “People are ﬁshing day and night right now for cats.” In Gallia County there are several main species of catﬁsh; blue, shovelhead, channel, and ﬂatheads. The most popular spot for catﬁshing is at the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam on the WHERE TO FISH In Gallia County there are several public access fishing spots; Tycoon Lake, Racoon Creek, Symmes Creek, Kenton (Pumpkintown) Lake, and of course the Ohio River. File photo Fishing is a favorite past time Photos by Morgan McKinniss | OVP in Gallia County with several fishing locations to choose The Gallipolis Parkfront is a regular and easy access fishing spot for advanced anglers and those wanting to learn the sport. In the river several different kind of fish can be caught depending on location and weather. The river is a popular place to catch catfish, bass, striped from. hybrid bass, walleye and sauger, and possibly muskie. Ohio shore. Catﬁsh can be found along many of the other waters in Gallia County, particularly Raccoon Creek. While the land surrounding Raccoon Creek is predominately private land, Bob Evans Farm and Tycoon are public access. Symmes Creek is a largely public ﬁshing stream in Wayne National Forest that is good for sunﬁsh and bass. There is no improved access to the creek, but it can be reached anywhere in Wayne Forrest. The Ohio River has several public access points including Crown City Wildlife area, the Butler Access Boat Ramp, Byrd Locks and Dam, Gallipolis Parkfront, and the Cheshire access area. “The state record for catﬁsh in Ohio is nearly 100 pounds. A ﬁsh that big has a mouth as wide as a human torso,” explained Rucker. It is not uncommon for local residents to catch catﬁsh around 60 pounds at the Byrd dam. “I really want to encourage people to take their kids ﬁshing. It is a fun family activity, and readily accessible for everyone,” said Rucker. Many of the waters in Gallia County have ﬁsh that can be easily caught with night crawlers and a simple hook and bobber set up. Licenses are only required in public waters and for persons 16 years of age and older, although there are ponds available to the public that do not require licenses. Bob Evans Farm has a public access pond, and the Rio Grande Reservoir is also considered private land: both of which offer excellent bass ﬁshing. It is important for residents to obey property laws and regulations when ﬁshing. “There are many places along the Raccoon Creek that are popular ﬁshing holes, but many are private land and individuals need to get permission to ﬁsh there,” explained Rucker. “The public should also check the regulations and guidelines from the ODNR or by visiting wildohio.gov to learn more.” Reach Morgan McKinniss at 740-446-2342 ext 2108 or mmckinniss@civitasmedia.com There are many places along Raccoon Creek that are public land. There is substantial frontage at McIntyre Park, and some at Bob Evans Farm. In Raccoon Creek anglers can expect to find channel cats, smallmouth bass, some large mouth, and blue cats in deeper waters. Shovelhead cats are not uncommon either. Remember to get permission to access the creek from private property. Kenton Lake is not as well known as other lakes around Gallia County. It is smaller, but still very accessible for small boats. It is favorable to largemouth bass, shovelhead catfish, bluegill and crappie. Bob Evans Shelterhouse Pond is also an excellent place to take the family without the need for a license. It is small and home to crappie and some largemouth bass, and maybe a few catfish. Symmes Creek is farther out in the county, and is smaller than Raccoon. It is a faster moving stream and is popular for smallmouth bass, other sunfish, and small catfish in the deeper pools, such as under this bridge. �LOCAL/TELEVISION Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, April 22, 2018 7A GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS Veterans Appreciation Dinner jazz classics such as “Evergeen,” and some new works, such as the event’s title song.

Champ Eagles vs. Atlanta to open season NEW YORK (AP) — Super Bowl champion Philadelphia will host Atlanta to kick off the 2018 NFL season on Thursday night, Sept. 6. Green Bay hosts Chicago in the ﬁrst Sunday night matchup on Sept. 9, while the Monday nighters on opening weekend feature the New York Jets at Detroit, followed by the Los Angeles Rams at Oakland. The Eagles also will play at England’s home of soccer when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8 at Wembley Stadium. That’s one of four international games. The other match at Wembley will be the previous week with the Los Angeles Chargers hosting the Tennessee Titans. Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, also in London, will be the site for a Raiders home game on Oct. 14 against Seattle. For the third straight year, the NFL will stage a game in Mexico City: the Rams will host Kansas City in a Week 11 Monday night game. Thanksgiving will provide a feast of divisional games. The traditional doubleheader in Detroit and Dallas has the Lions playing the Bears, followed by the Redskins at the Cowboys. At night, it will be Atlanta visiting New Orleans. Other intriguing matchups include Cleveland, which lost all 16 games last season, hosting archrival Pittsburgh on opening day; New England at Jacksonville in a rematch of the AFC title game in Week 2; the Eagles and Vikings in an NFC championship game redux in Philly on Oct. 7; and the Steelers vs. Patriots in Pittsburgh in Week 15. “We like to open at home in front of our great fans and this will be the second season in a row we do it against the Steel- ers,” Browns coach Hue Jackson said. “We start with the best in our division.” Fox, which will do 11 Thursday night games, begins its package in Week 4 with the Vikings at the Rams. Those contests also will be televised by NFL Network and in Spanish on Fox Deportes. NFL Network has seven exclusive broadcasts. Flexible scheduling in which a Sunday afternoon game can be switched to the evening because it is a better matchup than the previously planned game will be in use for Weeks 11-17. But two Sundays in Weeks 5-10 also can have a game ﬂexed to night. In a new twist, ﬂex scheduling will be used for Saturday games in Weeks 15 and 16. In Week 15, two games will be played on Saturday, Dec. 15: Houston at the New York Jets and Cleveland at Denver, with game times of 4:30 p.m. EST and 8:20 p.m. EST to be determined.

Start times for Saturday games for Week 15 and 16 will be announced no later than following Week 8, with the contests not chosen for Saturday to be played on Sunday on the 16th weekend. “We knew who our opponents would be, and that we would play seven games against teams that were in the playoffs last year, including two against the Super Bowl champions, so we knew it is going to be a challenging schedule,” said Pat Shurmur, preparing for his ﬁrst season as Giants coach. “I don’t see anything remarkable about the schedule, but it is very challenging.” �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, April 22, 2018 5B Point’s Tucker Mayes signs with WVSU By Alex Hawley quickly.

He likes to tackle, he likes to hit, he can get in there and do those things, and he’s a kid that enjoys the sport. I know he’s going to try to do baseball too, so it’ll be interesting to see how it all turns out. Doing one sport in college is a lot, two is a chore.” Mayes — who’ll likely be a tightend for the Yellow Jackets — will be looking to make a smooth transition from his high school offense to the one he’ll be working in at WVSU. “They run kind of a spread, sort of like we do,” Mayes said. “They have a tightend that can go out as a wide receiver, or back as a halfback, so I’m going to be all over the ﬁeld.” On the baseball ﬁeld at WVSU, Mayes will look to play third base or outﬁeld, while continuing to improve his power hitting game. Mayes is currently in his third season of varsity baseball at PPHS, and — at the time of his signing — has helped the Big Blacks to 32 victories in his career. West Virginia State is an NCAA Division II school that competes in the Mountain East Conference. Located in Insti- tute, W.Va. WVSU is less than an hour drive for many PPHS fans looking to follow Mayes’ college career. “The whole coaching staff at Point Pleasant, baseball and football, have taught me everything I know,” Mayes said. “They didn’t let me slack, that’s for sure. My parents put me in a lot of extra workouts and extra instruction just to get to this point.” Tucker also noted the role that former PPHS player and current Yellow Jacket, Dakotah Booth, played in getting him to West Virginia State. “He’s one of the biggest reasons I’m going down there,” Mayes said of Booth. “He mentioned my name to the coaches, they looked me up, and I ﬁnally started talking to them. Coach got a hold of their coach and we went down for a meeting. They told me I could come down and play for them. Every time I’ve been down there everybody’s been really nice. The classrooms are really nice and I think that’s going to help me a lot.” Mayes — who holds a 3.2 grade-point-average at PPHS — will be a Business major at WVSU.

Point Pleasant’s Jacob Bryant inks with WVSU football By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — One year of experience proved to be enough. Point Pleasant senior Jacob Bryant, who came out for the Big Blacks football team for the ﬁrst time as a senior, signed his National Letter of Intent on Sunday, committing to join the West Virginia State University football team next fall. “Whenever I was a little kid, I really wanted to play football, but soccer season was at the same time and I didn’t have the chance to do both,” said Bryant. “I tried football this last year and really liked it, now I’m really excited, I think it’s going to be a whole new atmosphere. It’s a really nice college, my mom went there when she was younger, and she wanted me to go. They have really experience coaches, they’re good people.” In his only season of football, Bryant helped the Big Blacks to an 9-3 record and a ﬁrst round playoff win. In the regular season, Bryant was 53-of61 on point-after-touchdown kicks, and he went Alex Hawley|OVP Sports On Sunday at PPJSHS, senior Jacob Bryant signed his National Letter of Intent to join the West Virginia State football team. Sitting in the front row, from left, are Lonnie Bryant, Jacob Bryant and Pam Bryant. Standing in the back are PPHS assistant coach Daniel Tench, assistant coach Matt Cottrill, head coach David Darst, assistant coach Dave Withrow and assistant coach Terry Rollins. on to make all-11 extra point tries in the postseason. Bryant also hit a pair of ﬁeld goals, one in the regular season and one in the second round of the playoffs. PPHS 11-year head coach David Darst noted the sky is the limit once Bryant gets to the next level. “He came in this year as a ﬁrst-year kicker and really did a great job for us,” said Darst. “In just that one year, he ended up in the top-5 as far as extra points and ﬁeld goals in Point Pleasant history. On top of that, he played soccer during football season. He got better all-year long, we started to teach him how to do different kicks on kickoffs, and he became a really nice kicker for us. “I think once he got in here with us, he really fell in love with football. He came to me and said ‘Coach, I’d really like to go on’. He went up and kicked at West Virginia State, and they loved him. I think he’s one of those kids who will get better and better. Actually getting to kick everyday and not worry about soccer, I think he’ll have a pretty good future.” Bryant credits Coach Darst, as well as Big Blacks assistant coach Daniel Tench and athletic trainer Gabe Roush as Browns GM Dorsey keeping draft plans private BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns general manager John Dorsey is old-school cool, from his wardrobe to keeping his plans for the upcoming NFL draft private. He’s not tipping his hand. “You know,” Dorsey said, “a man once told me: Don’t show all your cards at once.” Dorsey kept things close to the vest — or in his case, a white-andorange team sweat shirt — on Thursday during a mandatory pre-draft news conference in which he sidestepped any ques- tions about which quarterback he’s considering with the No. 1 overall pick. For months, Cleveland fans have debated whether the team should select Southern Cal’s Sam Darnold or Wyoming’s Josh Allen or UCLA’s Josh Rosen or Oklahoma’s Baker Mayﬁeld. Asked point blank, if he had made up his mind, Dorsey scrambled like a QB being blitzed. “You know what?” he said. “I’m a guy of processes. I’m a guy of structure. I’m a guy of systems and I’m a crea- ture of habit. I’ve done it for 20-some years. But where we are in the process right now, I think the draft is seven days away. But I’m very conﬁdent in where we are in the process moving forward.” And so it went for nearly 30 minutes as Dorsey, who was hired in December to ﬁx a franchise mired in losing, offered few clues on what he intends to do with either of his ﬁrst-round picks. The Browns also own the No. 4 selection. The team is expected to draft a quarterback ﬁrst, but Dorsey said he’s leaving his options — including a trade — open and that he’s even considered using the ﬁrst pick on Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, considered by some draft experts to be the top overall talent in this year’s player pool. “Why wouldn’t I?” Dorsey said when asked about Barkley, who dazzled pro personnel at the combine. “The guy’s a really good football player. Absolutely. You can’t have enough of them on your team.” major factors in helping him to reach the next level of football. “It was in the summertime last year, Coach Darst told me he needed a kicker,” Bryant said. “I played soccer, so he had me go out and try with a football. Coach Tench also helped me a good bit, showing me where to kick. Our medical trainer here, Gabe Roush, helped me a lot throwing balls back.” Bryant noted that one of his fondest memories of his ﬁrst football season as the Big Blacks’ backand-forth 56-54 loss to Mingo Central in the season opener. “The ﬁrst game, I thought I was going to have to kick a ﬁeld goal to try and win it, ” Bryant said. “Alec Smith scored for me, and I didn’t have to kick it.” Bryant will be joining a Yellow Jackets team that competes in the Mountain East Conference and NCAA Division II. West Virginia State is located in Institute, W.Va. less than an hour drive from OVB Track and Field in Point Pleasant. While focused on placekicking, Bryant may also try punting at West Virginia State. “I’ve been out to West Virginia State twice to practice with them,” said Bryant. “I go out on our ﬁeld, Coach allows us to go out there and kick to get ready.” Bryant — who holds a 3.5 grade-point-average at PPHS — plans to major in either Biology or Business at WVSU. As a four-year member of the PPHS soccer team, Bryant has helped the Red, Black and White to a 31-49-2 record. In his sophomore season of soccer, he was an academic letterman. As a wrestler for Point Pleasant, Bryant was 18-6 as a junior and 28-21 as a senior, ending both seasons at the state tournament. Bryant wrestled at 138 pounds as a junior and moved up to the 170pound weight class as a senior. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2100.

I confess that I haven’t turkey hunted in a while, but I do go out before sunrise and listen for the birds, and it is an amazing time to be out in the woods. About 45 minutes before sunrise the woods come alive as all of the songbirds announce the coming of the dawn, for a brief time the day-bird and night-bird calls are combined as you can hear owls and whippoorwill calls blended with the calls of wood thrushes, cardinals and towhees.
