By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — As the holiday season starts to close, a question of what to do with real Christmas trees after the holidays arises within households. Scott Barnitz, co-owner of Bob’s Market and Greenhouses, shared one popular way to dispose of the trees is to sink them into a lake or pond. One beneﬁt to this is the tree makes a perfect spot for the ﬁsh in the water source to spawn said Barnitz. Sinking old Christmas trees can help make a ﬁsh habitat better. Barnitz commented local farmers will dispose of trees into their lakes and/or ponds. According to the Pick Your Own Christmas Tree website, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and West Virginia Division of Natural Resources typically hosts a tree recycling event in Charleston after the new year. Over the years, thousands of live trees have been collected and sunk into lakes and ponds across West Virginia to improve ﬁsh habitats. The trees make a better quality of life for the existing ﬁsh while serving as a ﬁsh attractant. The DEP’s Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan (REAP) program coordinates with this tree recycling effort. Other options for Christmas tree disposal explained Barnitz is individuals who have access to a wood chipper could turn the tree See TREE | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, December 26, 2018 Daily Sentinel LANE OBITUARIES MEIGS BRIEFS SANDRA FLOCCARI GALLIPOLIS — James Gary “Gunner” Lane, 76, of Gallipolis, died Monday December 17, 2018 in eral nieces and nephews.

Trump: ‘I can’t tell you when’ gov’t will reopen By Darlene Superville Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that parts of the federal government will stay closed until Democrats agree to put up more walls along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter criminal elements. He said he’s open to calling the wall something else as long as he ends up with an actual wall. In a Christmas Day appearance in the Oval Ofﬁce, Trump issued a lengthy defense of his desire for a wall, saying it’s the only way to stop drugs and human trafﬁckers from entering the country. In a nod to the political stakes he’s facing, Trump said he wants the wall by “election time” in 2020. The promise of a border wall was a central component of Trump’s presidential campaign. “I can’t tell you when the government’s going NOTICE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY The Meigs County Department of Job and Family Services, Meigs County Children Services Division, Meigs County Child Support Division and the Ohio Means Jobs Center have a new telephone system effective December 18, 2018.

Donations to the National Park Service have allowed the National Christmas Tree to be open during the partial government shutdown. to be open. I can tell you it’s not going to be open until we have a wall or fence, whatever they’d like to call it,” Trump said, referring to Democrats who staunchly oppose walling off the border. “I’ll call it whatever they want, but it’s all the same thing,” he told reporters after participating in a holiday video conference with representatives from all ﬁve branches of the military stationed in Alaska, Bahrain, Guam and Qatar. Trump argued that drug ﬂows and human trafﬁcking can only be stopped by a wall. “We can’t do it without a barrier. We can’t do it without a wall,” he said. “The only way you’re going to do it is to have a physical barrier, meaning a wall. And if you don’t have that then we’re just not opening” the government. Democrats oppose spending money on a wall, preferring instead to pump the dollars into fencing, technology and other means of controlling access to the border. Trump argued that Democrats oppose a wall only because he is for one. The stalemate over how much to spend and how to spend it caused the partial government shutdown that began Saturday following a lapse in funding for departments and agencies that make up about 25 percent of the government. Some 800,000 government workers are affect- ed. Many are on the job but must wait until after the shutdown to be paid again. Trump claimed that many of these workers “have said to me and communicated, ‘stay out until you get the funding for the wall.’ These federal workers want the wall. The only one that doesn’t want the wall are the Democrats.” Trump didn’t say how he’s hearing from federal workers, excluding those he appointed to their jobs or who work with him in the White House. But many rank-and-ﬁle workers have gone to social media with stories of the ﬁnancial hardship they expect to face because of the shutdown, now in its fourth day. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leaders of Congress, said Trump “wanted the shutdown, but he seems not to know how to get himself out it.” Trump had said he’d be “proud” to shut down the government in a ﬁght over the wall. He also had said Mexico would pay for the wall. Mexico has refused. Trump followed up on a Monday tweet in which he said he “just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas.” Neither the White House nor the Department of Homeland Security responded to followup questions, despite repeated requests.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell harshly condemned North Korea for “barbaric mistreatment” of Warmbier in agreeing Monday with his family that the isolated nation should be held liable for his death last year. She awarded punitive damages and payments covering medical expenses, economic loss and pain and suffering to Fred and Cindy Warmbier, who alleged that their son had been held hostage and tortured. Warmbier was a University of Virginia student who was visiting North Korea with a tour group when he was arrested and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in March 2016 on suspicion of stealing a propaganda poster. He died in June 2017, shortly after he returned to the U.S. in a coma and showing apparent signs of torture while in custody. In holding North Korean responsible, Howell said the government had seized Warmbier for “use as a pawn in that totalitarian state’s global shenanigans and face-off with the United States.” “Before Otto traveled with a tour group on a ﬁve-day trip to North Korea, he was a healthy, athletic stu- Associated Press HOUSTON — An 8-year-old boy from Guatemala died in government custody in New Mexico early Tuesday, U.S. immigration authorities said, marking the second death of an immigrant child in detention this month. The death came during an ongoing dispute over border security and with a partial government shutdown underway over President Donald Trump’s request for border wall funding. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the boy showed “signs of potential illness” on Monday and was taken with his father to a hospital in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where he was diagnosed with a Frank Franklin II | AP file Fred Warmbier, right, and Cindy Warmbier, parents of Otto Warmbier, wait for a meeting in May at the United Nations headquarters. A federal judge has ordered North Korea to pay more than $500 million in their wrongful death suit they filed by for their son, Otto Warmbier, an American college student who died shortly after being released from that country. dent of economics and business in his junior year at the University of Virginia, with ‘big dreams’ and both the smarts and people skills to make him his high school class salutatorian, homecoming king, and prom king,” the judge wrote. “He was blind, deaf, and brain dead when North Korea turned him over to U.S. government ofﬁcials for his ﬁnal trip home.” The arrest and death of Warmbier came during a time of heightened tension between the U.S. and North Korea over the country’s nuclear weapons program. President Donald Trump held a ﬁrst-of-its-kind summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in June 2018 and plans another next year. The judgment may be mostly a symbolic victory since North Korea has yet to respond to any of the allegations in court and there’s no practical mechanism to force it do so. But the family may nonetheless be able to recoup damages through a Justice Department-administered fund for victims of state-sponsored acts of terrorism, and may look to seize other assets held by the country outside of North Korea. Fred and Cindy Warmbier, who are from a suburb of Cincinnati, said they were thankful the court found the government of Kim Jong Un “legally and morally” responsible for their son’s death. “We put ourselves and our family through the ordeal of a lawsuit and public trial because we promised Otto that we will never rest until we have justice for him,” they said in a statement. “Today’s thoughtful opinion by Chief Judge Howell is a signiﬁcant step on our journey.” The lawsuit, ﬁled in April, describes in horriﬁc detail the physical abuse Warmbier endured in North Korean custody, recounting how his parents were “stunned to see his condition” when they boarded a plane to see him upon arrival in the U.S. cold and a fever. The boy was prescribed amoxicillin and Ibuprofen and released Monday afternoon after being held 90 minutes for observation, the agency said. The boy was returned to the hospital Monday evening with nausea and vomiting and died there just after midnight, CBP said. CBP has not yet conﬁrmed when or where the father and son entered the United States or how long they were detained, saying only in its statement that the boy had been “previously apprehended” by its agents. The agency said the cause of the boy’s death has not been determined and that it has notiﬁed the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general and the Guatemalan government. A 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died earlier this month after being apprehended by border agents in New Mexico. The body of the girl, Jakelin Caal, was returned to her family’s remote village Monday for burial Tuesday. The White House referred questions about the latest case to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CBP’s parent agency. CBP ofﬁcers and the Border Patrol remain on the job despite the shutdown. According to Guatemala’s foreign ministry, the father and son entered the U.S. at El Paso, Texas, on Dec. 18, then were taken to the Border Patrol’s Alamogordo station Sunday. Alamogordo is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) from El Paso. 3OHDVDQW�9DOOH\ +RVSLWDO� 5REHUW�7D\HQJFR��0' ,QWHUQDO�0HGLFLQH ;WfZZfg 7KH�DUHD·V�&0$�50$��&1$��/31��51��5HVSLUDWRU\�7KHUDSLVWV�DQG�3K\VLFDO�7KHUDSLVWV�DUH�HQFRXUDJHG�WR�FRQVLGHU� MRLQLQJ�WKH�PDQ\�SHRSOH�ZKRVH�ZRUN�LV�LPSURYLQJ�WKH�OLYHV� RI�RXU�SDWLHQWV�DW�3OHDVDQW�9DOOH\�+RVSLWDO��,I�\RX�DUH�D�QHZ� JUDGXDWH�RU�D�VHDVRQHG�PHGLFDO�SURIHVVLRQDO��ZH�ZRXOG�OLNH� WR�PHHW�\RX� %HQHÀW�3DFNDJH�+LJKOLJKWV� �7XLWLRQ�DVVLVWDQFH�RSSRUWXQLW\�DIWHU�RQH�\HDU�ZRUN�FRPPLWPHQW� SWISHER & LOHSE PHARMACY �)5((�HPSOR\HH�:HOOQHVV�&HQWHU�PHPEHUVKLS� �*HW�RQH�RI�WKH�DUHD·V�PRVW�FRVW�HIIHFWLYH�KHDOWK��GHQWDO�DQG� 740-992-2955 636 EAST MAIN STREET POMEROY, OH 45769 www.ThePharmacy4u.com ��YLVLRQ�LQVXUDQFH�SURJUDPV� ZLWK�ÁH[LEOH�VSHQGLQJ�DFFRXQW�DYDLODEOH �$)/$&�LV�DOVR�DYDLODEOH 60731384 �)XOO�WLPH�VWDII�FDQ�HDUQ�WZR�ZHHNV�RI�YDFDWLRQ�DQG�VLFN�WLPH� ��RII�GXULQJ�WKH�ÀUVW�\HDU� VWDUWV�DFFUXLQJ�LPPHGLDWHO\ ��SDLG�KROLGD\V� ��GD\V�DUH�ÁRDWLQJ��WR�XVH�DQ\WLPH�GXULQJ�WKH�\HDU �(PSOR\HH�UHWLUHPHQW�SODQV�� D �DQG�� E �)5((�OLIH�LQVXUDQFH�WKDW�HTXDOV�DQQXDO�VDODU\ �(PSOR\HH�DVVLVWDQFH�SURJUDP� �1XPHURXV�VWDII�DSSUHFLDWLRQ�HYHQWV�WKURXJKRXW�WKH�\HDU +263,7$/�$1'�1(:�6:,1*�%('�352*5$0 �/31V�DQG�51V�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�KDYH�D�:9�OLFHQVH 1856,1*�$1'�5(+$%,/,7$7,21�&(17(5 �51V�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�KDYH�D�:9�OLFHQVH�DQG�ORQJ�WHUP�FDUH� ��H[SHULHQFH�LV�SUHIHUUHG �&1$V�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�KDYH�D�:9�FHUWLÀFDWLRQ �/HDG�3K\VLFDO�7KHUDSLVW�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�KDYH�D�%6�LQ�3K\VLFDO ��7KHUDS\��JUDGXDWH�OHYHO��IURP�DQ�DFFUHGLWHG�LQVWLWXWLRQ�DQG�RQH�WR ��WKUHH�\HDUV�H[SHULHQFH�DV�D�3K\VLFDO�7KHUDSLVW� 3+<6,&,$1�2)),&(6�$1'�(;35(66�&$5( �&0$�50$�DQG�/31�SRVLWLRQV�DUH�DYDLODEOH�DW�SK\VLFLDQ�RIÀFHV� ��DQG�([SUHVV�&DUH� Vote for your favorite photo �3K\VLFLDQ�RIÀFHV�RIIHU�JHQHURXV�VFKHGXOHV�0RQGD\�WKURXJK�)ULGD\ �([SUHVV�&DUH�VFKHGXOHV�DUH�DYDLODEOH��GD\V�D�ZHHN �&0$V�50$�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�EH�FHUWLÀHG�RU�UHJLVWHUHG �/31V�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�KDYH�D�:9�OLFHQVH �/31V�DW�([SUHVV�&DUH�DUH�UHTXLUHG�WR�KDYH�:9�DQG�2+�OLFHQVH 5(63,5$725<�7+(5$3< 5HVSLUDWRU\�7KHUDS\�LV�VHHNLQJ�D�5HVSLUDWRU\�7KHUDSLVW�IRU�WKHLU� Vote on any of our websites. www. mydailysentinel.com www.mydailytribune.com www.mydailyregister.com Voting will be from 12/25 thru 1/5 �5HVSLUDWRU\�7KHUDSLVWV�DUH�UHTXLUHG�KDYH�D�:9�OLFHQVH��UHJLVWHUHG� ��UHVSLUDWRU\�WKHUDSLVW�LV�SUHIHUUHG�DQG�D�JUDGXDWH�RI�D�DQ�DSSURYHG�� UHVSLUDWRU\�FDUH�SURJUDP OH-70097060 OH-70096678 ��KRXU�QLJKW�VKLIW�SRVLWLRQ )RU�PRUH�LQIRUPDWLRQ��SOHDVH�FRQWDFW�� -HDQQLH�+LFNPDQ�DW��RU�VHQG�UHVXPH� WR�MKLFNPDQ#SYDOOH\�RUJ�� 9DOOH\�'ULYH��3RLQW�3OHDVDQW��:9��SYDOOH\�RUJ�� Opinion 4 Wednesday, December 26, 2018 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW It’s the most wonderful time of the year Coloring book, crayons and pegs from the Battleship game strewn across the green shag carpet, smell of turkey roasting and Andy Williams singing, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” were as integral to my childhood holiday experience as was sitting on Santa’s lap and getting sick from eating too much chocolate walnut fudge.

I did too, before holiday to-do lists developed into a longer trail of chores than names on Santa’s “Good Kid” List. During the holidays when I was a kid, December was synonymous with freedom and fun. With any luck my sister and I would get to sleep in because snow was in the forecast and when it snowed back then, it snowed a foot and the snow plowing was slower than snail mail. Pam and I would mosey into the kitchen for some orange juice. We’d pour Alpha Bits cereal onto the table and play our version of Scrabble. I’d take time to squeeze the soldier nutcracker and break open a fresh walnut, meticulously digging the metal pick into the shell and retrieving the tiniest edible fragment. Friends would scurry over, prompting us to hurry and dress and get outside to build a snowman. By night-fall, one of the many kids running around inside would wind the plastic white organ that would start playing an instrumental “Silent Night,” while grandma yelled for someone to ﬂip the switch that lit each window candle in the entire three-story house. Then Grandpa would head to the basement to turn the lights on the humongous star prominently mounted to the attic window. I didn’t really plan to have fun back then. At least I don’t remember it that way. Seeking enjoyment seemed effortless like sledding down-hill, but now I ﬁnd the need to chisel time into my schedule to have fun. This chiseling takes effort and determination just like picking for walnuts. Fun doesn’t fall from the ﬁlament and into the lap of every adult who needs it. Nope. Fun takes a bit of work, or shall we say, ingenious planning, but the sweetness of indulging in your holiday, your way, just may be worth the effort. You may need to re-evaluate your preconceived notion about what a holiday “used to” or “should” look like. You may ﬁnd your revamped version less time-consuming and more enjoyable than you could’ve predicted. You may ﬁnd the tiny pop-up tree that makes Charlie Brown’s look like the one at Rockefeller Center is easy and ornate enough to put a smile on your face. You may decide that the bakery cookies are far less messy and no less tasty than the ones you’d spend hours making — hours you may want to spend sipping tea and reading that novel that’s been stuffed in your drawer or taking a brisk walk through the park lined with tree lights dancing to a holiday music. Whether it’s searching for that awesome evergreen in the brisk 20-degree weather or jumping the red-eye ﬂight to the beach that’s calling to you this holiday, my wish for you is that you do your holiday, your way. As for me — at least one night — I’ll be drinking thick eggnog and blasting Mariah Carey while I dance around my living room, my ﬁngers sticky from chocolate covered cherries. I’ll be traveling and reading and hugging as many friends and family as I can get my sticky hands on. My way is loud and yummy! Michele Zirkle is a published author, life coach and energy healer.

Her reply was that it was where the interurban used to be. Perhaps my curiosity was solved with that answer and so I never asked what the interurban was. It was many years later that I discovered it was a most useful little vehicle which ran on tracks very much like a train, serving several communities. If you drive on North Detroit going past Shawnee Park in Xenia you will see the raised bed of “where the interurban used to be.” Rail transportation was available for those traveling longer distances, but for those traveling short distances between towns, a horse and buggy was the usual means of transportation. The interurban, as it was widely known, consisted of a single railroadtype car which ran on rails similar to tracks of the steam engine and railroad cars. The advantage was that it was a single, self-contained car which ran on electricity. Each car was complete with passenger seats and some storage space for parcels, propelled by its own power. The car was driven by a motorman and sometimes also a conductor. This was a blessing for those who wanted to travel between cities with some ease and minimal expense. The double-ended, self-propelled coaches could achieve a speed of 40 to 50 miles per hour between stops. The little train did not have to have First car leaves a place to turn court house, around.

At ﬁrst furnished free of charge their experiments were to the Fifth street line. rather privately done, but in time, as they perfected their invention, they were pleased when folks arrived via the interurban to watch their progress. Perhaps some of those folks would be interested in ﬂying lessons. In 1902 the newspaper reported that the Xenia and Wilmington Traction Line was proposed to run from Xenia to Wilmington as well as Springﬁeld to Washington Court House via Clifton, Cedarville and Jamestown. There was to be a spur connecting New Jasper to Jamestown. Charles Orr of Cleveland was the individual who was eager to have this particular line opened. He reported that options had been secured for the entire right-of-way with the exception of closing a few gaps which he assured would be taken care of quickly. There was also some question of the route for the exact course to get into Xenia; but he was conﬁdent that this would be settled quickly and the traction line would be completed quickly. This type of transportation was a blessing for those who lived one community, but worked in another. One lady was a telephone operator in Xenia rode the transit regularly from her home in Oldtown. Others in nearby communities used the transit line to go to and from work. Joan Baxter is a local resident and long-time local columnist.

If you have not, you are not alone. For those younger folks here in southeastern Ohio who have never experienced the heart-stopping thrill of ﬂushing a ruffed grouse in the wild, the Ruffed Grouse is a member of the order Galliformes, or chickenlike birds, which includes such birds as the Bobwhite Quail, Wild Turkey, or Sage Hen. Size-wise it falls in In the between the grouse and turkey. Open It is non-migratory, and when Jim predators are near, it will remain Freeman motionless, practically invisible, until the predator is top of it before taking explosively to the air. There are few experiences in the wild that compare. The ruffed grouse is also known for the “drumming” sound that the male makes when seeking a mate in the spring. He will sit (usually) on a log, known as a drumming log, and make a chuff-chuff-chuff sound with his wings that starts slowly and builds in speed before stopping – to me it sounds like someone trying to start an old John Deere tractor. As a species, the ruffed grouse inhabits a vast area stretching from western Alaska, east to Newfoundland, incorporating most of Canada except for the Arctic tundra. In the United States its range includes New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the upper Midwest, northern Rocky Mountains, Cascades, and ﬁnally the Appalachians, which comprise the far southernmost part of its range. It is more of a northern bird, more at home in the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska than the hardwood, deciduous forests of the eastern US and Appalachians. Unfortunately, ruffed grouse have been disappearing from our southern Ohio landscape for the past 35 years (sort of following the path taken by Ohio’s once-plentiful Bobwhite Quail – which is more of a southern species). A graphic version of the Ohio Ruffed Grouse Drumming Index looks like a steep hill peaking See GROUSE | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Dec. 27 Boys Basketball Southern at Ravenswood, 6 p.m. Girls Basketball River Valley at Oak Hill, 6 p.m. South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 6 p.m. Point Pleasant at Sissonville Holiday Tournament, TBA Friday, Dec. 28 Boys Basketball Gallia Academy at Logan, 6 p.m. South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 6 p.m. Wahama at Wirt Tournament, TBA Meigs at River City Classic, TBA Point Pleasant at Savannah Tournament, TBA Girls Basketball Wellston at Southern, 6 p.m. Eastern at Waterford, 6 p.m. Meigs at River City Classic, TBA Point Pleasant at Sissonville Holiday Tournament, TBA Wrestling Point Pleasant at Wheeling Park Duals, TBA Saturday, Dec. 29 Boys Basketball South Gallia at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Wahama at Wirt Tournament, TBA Meigs at River City Classic, TBA Point Pleasant at Savannah Tournament, TBA Girls Basketball South Gallia at Ohio Valley Christian, 3 p.m. Meigs at River City Classic, TBA Hannan at Green, 2 p.m. Wrestling Eastern, Meigs, Wahama, River Valley, South Gallia at Gallia Academy Skyline Bowling, 10 a.m. Point Pleasant at Wheeling Park Duals, TBA Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Eastern sophomore Olivia Barber (20) dribbles in between Lady Titans Ava Hassel (left) and Katie Dettwiller (right), during Notre Dame’s 56-33 victory on Saturday in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.

Bengals end last, adding intrigue to Lewis’ fate CINCINNATI (AP) — A lackluster showing in Cleveland consigned the Bengals to last place for only the second time in coach Marvin Lewis’ 16 seasons and added another twist to Cincinnati’s futile and fan-alienating season. A 26-18 loss locked Cincinnati (6-9) into last place in the AFC North for the ﬁrst time since 2010 and raised more questions about whether Lewis will get a 17th chance with the franchise that’s lost games and fans at an alarming rate. “I don’t know,” end Carlos Dunlap said, when asked about Lewis’ fate. “A lot of things happen. Everybody is making business decisions.” Not so much in Cincinnati. Owner Mike Brown has ignored fans’ demands for change while keeping head coaches around. During the 1990s, he extended Dave Shula’s contract while he was in the midst of losing 50 games faster than any coach in NFL history. He’s repeatedly rewarded Lewis with more chances even though he has yet to win a playoff game. The loss in Cleveland stripped away one of the justiﬁcations Brown used last year for keeping Lewis around. The Bengals got blown out by the Bears and Vikings in consecutive weeks, but rallied to beat the Lions and the Ravens in the last two games. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Grouse From page 6 in 1980 and 1982, with more than 40 drummers heard per 100 stops, then dramatically plummeting to the present day with only two or three heard per 100 stops. What happened? Why the big decline? The standard answer when someone asks what happened to our grouse is the same answer they get if they ask about the quail: the habitat changed. Here in southeastern Ohio the habitat has slowly changed over the years from quail habitat to grouse habitat, and then from grouse habitat to turkey. Habitat is almost always the key factor in wildlife survival: in short, no habitat – no birds. I have heard some people blame wild turkeys for the decline in ruffed grouse; there is no doubt that wild turkeys have thrived while ruffed grouse have declined, but it isn’t the turkeys’ fault – they have simply been the winners in the habitat game. But perhaps habitat isn’t the entire story. Realistically it is hard to discount grouse predators such as house cats, coyotes, and now bobcats. However, know that the grouse have existed and thrived on this continent for countless millennia with both coyotes and bobcats, along with numerous avian predators – so predators alone aren’t enough to eliminate grouse from our landscape. So, besides the change in habitat, and possibly the presence of predators, what other factors may be affecting grouse populations? Consider disease. In places like Pennsylvania, where the Ruffed Grouse is the state bird and there is grouse habitat, hunters there have been seeing far fewer grouse. One suspect: West Nile Disease. One study by the Pennsylvania Game Commission (with assistance from Pennsylvania’s grouse hunters) showed ruffed grouse were able to contract WND and that up to 40 percent of birds died from the disease outright while only 10 percent would be able to live in the outdoors. For a species on the edge, a disease could represent the tipping point. There aren’t many grouse hunters out there these days; although a season exists most grouse hunters go somewhere else to pursue wild birds. Grouse season, like quail season, I feel is more of a “place holder” saving that spot on the calendar in case the populations ever return (versus establishing or reestablishing a season along with all the political drama that entails). Throughout their range the ruffed grouse is doing well, but even where they are plentiful, grouse populations go in cycles, and hunting seems to have little effect on the cycle according to researchers. Restoring ruffed grouse to southern Ohio is a daunting challenge, even with the assistance of sportsmen like the Ruffed Grouse Society. For one thing, southeastern Ohio was always at the southern edge of grouse habitat, so even though they may have been relatively plentiful when the habitat was present, it was never in the heart of grouse territory. Remember that grouse are non-migratory, so even if you build they habitat, they won’t come – at least not anytime soon. You can’t just change the game regulations and expect extra birds to come ﬂying into their new homes the following spring. They are also notoriously hard to pen-raise, and expensive at that, so traditional relocation of birds is not feasible. Maybe the days of experiencing grouse are over in southeastern Ohio. I hope I am wrong, but it really isn’t looking too hot for the ruffed grouse. However, just a few generations ago people here said the same thing about the whitetail deer, wild turkey, and bobcats – but it may take a lot of hard work and dedicated sportsmen to make it happen.
