Scott Williams who will be publishing an upcoming Oscar Odd (O.O.) McIntyre biography. At 7:30 p.m. that evening, a special concert honoring McIntyre is planned. In addition to a performance featuring tenor and Gallia native Philip Armstrong, The Ohio Valley Symphony will perform Meredith Willson’s O.O McIntyre Suite. After a search of almost 30 years, Lora Lynn Snow, founder and executive director of the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre, discovered the original orchestral parts of the suite. The performance on April 22 will feature a new arrangement by Tim Berens, the principle arranger for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. McIntyre, who was raised in Gallipolis by his grandmother, overcame great personal and professional challenges to become the highest-paid and most-read columnist of the early 20th century. In his column, “New York Day by Day,” and in national magazines like Cosmopolitan and Life, McIntyre captured a city undergoing great transition and innovation in communication, politics, art and entertainment. His unconventional writing style, which frequently invoked his small-town roots, endeared him to readers across the country. McIntyre, who died in 1938 at the age of 54, was close friends with many of the leading personalities of the day, including writers Edna Ferber, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerqald; entertainers Fred Astaire, Florenz Ziegfeld Jr., Billie Burke and Will Rogers; composers George Gershwin and Meredith Willson; actors Rudolph Valentino and Charlie Chaplin, and many others. “Odd McIntyre was incredibly proud of the town in which he grew up, and he often mentioned Gallipolis in his columns and articles,” said Williams, who is the chief operating officer of the Newseum in Washington, D.C. “I can think of no better place to celebrate his life, career, and love of Ohio than in the theater where he first worked and was first exposed to the arts.” According to Williams, McIntyre worked at the Ariel Theatre as a young boy before going on to become a household name in pop culture reporting. The first performance of the O.O. McIntyre Suite was by Paul Whiteman’s orchestra in 1934. Whiteman was the bandleader of one of the most popular dance bands in the U.S. during the 1920s and 2930s. At Whiteman’s request, Willson composed an additional movement titled “Sunday Night in Gallipolis.” Willson also composed the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musicals “The Music Man” and “The Unsinkable Molly See ODD | 4A Dean Wright | Daily Tribune Holzer Medical Center celebrated National Wear Red Day with visitors having a balloon launch in memory of those who have battled or survived heart disease. Holzer raises awareness of heart disease By Dean Wright deanwright@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Medical Center celebrated National Wear Red Day on Jackson Pike Friday afternoon with a testimonial and balloon launch to observe efforts to spread awareness of those who have combated heart disease and strokes. Holzer Health System Executive Vice President Chief Nursing Officer Stephen Doyle welcomed visitors to the Holzer Medical Center lobby. “We are here today to observe National Wear Red Day,” said Doyle. “It happens every year to raise awareness about heart disease. Today is the 15th anniversary of National Wear Red Day. We have made great strides in the awareness and education of heart disease here in the system. However, there is still work to do.” See RED | 4A Quilts providing a piece of comfort By Jessica Marcum Special to the Sentinel MEIGS COUNTY — It is easy to find comfort in the smallest things: a cup of coffee, a chat with a good friend, a book, a warm blanket. For some people in West Virginia, these sorts of comforts are rare. Following the devastating floods in June of last year, many people lost their homes, belongings, and tangible memories, such as photos. They lost family heirlooms that were physical ties to their families’ histories. While the photographs and heirlooms cannot be replaced, other necessities can be. New comforts can be found and enjoyed, especially in the chill and damp that is normally part of an Appalachian winter. Two women in Meigs County have found a way to send some cozy comfort to some of the vic- Jessica Marcum | Courtesy Darlene Mills made a Raggedy Ann and Andy doll quilt to give to a child. tims of the June flooding, along with people closer to home. Minnie Thornton and her daughter Darlene Mills have made quilts all of their lives, although Thornton no longer quilts. Her eyesight has grown worse as she has grown older, making it harder for her to see to do the work. Mills continues the tradition, though, and made several quilts to give as gifts over the holidays in addition to many more that ended up being taken to Charleston by her sister Donna Fink. Fink works at CAMC. One of her coworkers was in contact with a family who had lost their home in June. Fink and her other coworkers adopted the family for Christmas, and part of the gifts sent down was a quilt for each family member. Each quilt is different, although it uses the same basic pattern, with differences in fabric type, length, and pattern. Quilts for children feature beloved animated characters and bright colors, while baby quilts use the typically pastel color schemes that have been popular for decades. Larger, adult-size quilts use nature scenes featuring wolves or deer, or feature Native Americans and landscapes.

Many of his days were spent working on projects in his workshop with family, friends, and neighbors, challenging others to a round of Cornhole or Wii bowling, supporting various charities, and attending mass.

Oral history has him residing in Gallipolis in 1818 and tax records show him first there in 1822. Gee owned and lived on land that was physically bordering a slave state and despite all the restraints put upon blacks during the time of slavery, he managed to prosper and thrive. The most extraordinary aspect of John Gee’s life, more than his busi- ness acumen, his building skills and his entrepreneurship, was the fact that he was known conductor of the Underground Railroad! He was a successful business and family man during the day, yet at night he risked everything to assist untold numbers of desperate African Americans escape the bondage and terrors of slavery. Gee died in 1865 just one month after the end of the Civil War.

Quilts have not only been sent to flood victims, but Thornton and Mills have also sent quilts to a church in Gallipolis, to be distributed to the homeless. The week of January 22, at least fifteen quilts were sent out to be distributed to those who were in need of them, and Mills says as long as the need is there, she will donate what she makes. She had originally intended to sell them. However, when she learned of the need for donations, she said that the Lord put it on her heart to send her quilts, instead of selling them. She would still like to, but making sure others have some warmth this winter was more important. “Everyone can make a difference,” Thornton says.

Chief Executive Officer Saed Mohseni did a good job of quickly responding to queries and concerns, noting no jobs will be lost, this year’s festival will be held the second weekKevin end in October as always, and the Kelly Bob Evans Farm where it’s staged Contributing remains a company asset. columnist The restaurants are to be sold to private equity firm Golden Gate Capital, but the team based at BEF headquarters in New Albany will continue to manage them and the food product line. “There is no financial issue with the organization,” Mohseni said. “If anything, there is a tremendous amount of opportunity for both of the brands going forward.” By going forward, and keeping the company alive and profitable, we can be reassured that BEF will remain a presence and vital employer in the communities they serve. We understand that in the highly competitive environment of the diningout market there is ebb and flow, with the ebb sometimes resulting “It would be a in the closing of ressupreme irony if BEF, taurants to maintain which began life more costs. But within the place of its origin, and than six decades hopefully elsewhere, ago in Gallia County, the BEF brand commands a certain loywould be deprived alty we hope corporate of the name and its will respect. impact on the local Gallia County is economy.” the home to two of its restaurants as well as the farm, one of the premier tourist attractions in the area. Gallia, as well as our surrounding counties, cannot absorb further job losses given the closing of the Gallipolis Kmart, reportedly by the end of March. Conclusion of American Electric Power’s sale of the Gavin Power Plant to Lightstone Generation LLC this past week has fueled further uncertainty about jobs that we hope the new owners can allay in future meetings with the leadership of Gallia and Meigs counties. It would be a supreme irony if BEF, which began life more than six decades ago in Gallia County, would be deprived of the name and its impact on the local economy. Mohseni’s statement that the current number of BEF restaurants, including those in Gallipolis, Rio Grande and Mason, W.Va., will be maintained offers some relief. That’s a commitment we all hope will continue to be fulfilled. At the same time, we look for the Bob Evans Farm to remain a factor in the company’s plans. The staff are doing things to make the site more than a celebration of life “down on the farm” with, for example, the scheduling of concerts by prominent names on the touring circuit. Both the farm and the festival that bears the company founder’s name are important marketing tools for BEF, with the product on display and ready to go not only in the restaurant but in the tents as well. The museum in The Homestead behind the restaurant offers a fascinating look at how the firm began and what it became. We should also mention that the festival is a major fund-raiser for numerous local groups, from the Gallipolis Rotary Club to student organizations from the University of Rio Grande. The connection between the farm and the university — stretching back to a time when students worked their way through school via the farm — remains strong, no more so during the three days of the festival. “Greeks, athletes and clubs set up booths offering everything from ice cream to hot dogs,” I wrote for the 1990 edition of The Grandion, the Rio Grande yearbook, “while a number of students work in booths set up by Bob Evans and other entrepreneurs, dispensing cold drinks, direction and information with ease to festival-goers.” The passage of time since that observation’s publication has not eroded its truth. There’s an even richer history of business and personalities connected to Bob Evans Farms that testifies to the longstanding local link between the company and the public. We wish BEF the best in its endeavors to stay viable in its business, to continue operating its current enterprises and remain a part of our daily routine in the tri-county area. This strain of hope was apparent in Mohseni’s comments about the ownership change when he said, “What’s ironic about this, we’re going back to where Bob Evans got started, which is selling sausage … After 60 years, we’re back to where we got started.” Kevin Kelly, who was affiliated with Ohio Valley Publishing for 21 years, resides in Vinton, Ohio. THEIR VIEW The growing transparency movement As Treasurer of Ohio, I believe taxpayers have a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent. All too often, we the people aren’t able to follow our money once we write a check to city hall, the state capital or Washington D.C. I’m a believer in making government small and people big. As someone who sees his boss as the 11.5 million people of Ohio, I am all about power to the people. This past December, OhioCheckbook.com turned two. Since the site’s launch on December 2, 2014, over $560 billion of state spending over the past nine fiscal years is online and at the fingers of anyone with an internet connection.

Roosevelt “Men do not desire to be rich, but to be richer than other men.” — John Stuart Mill, English philosopher and economist (1806-1873). proposed increasing the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices; the proposal, which failed in Congress, drew accusations that Roosevelt was attempting to “pack” the nation’s highest court.

In 1994, white separatist Byron De La Beckwith was convicted in Jackson, Mississippi, of murdering civil rights leader Medgar Evers in 1963, and was immediately sentenced to life in prison. (Beckwith died Jan. 21, 2001 at age 80.) Sixty-eight people were killed when a mortar shell exploded in a marketplace in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush unveiled a $2.9 trillion budget which proposed a big spending increase for the Pentagon while pinching domestic programs. NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak was arrested in Orlando, Florida, accused of trying to kidnap a rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot. (Nowak was sentenced in 2009 to a year of probation in the altercation after pleading guilty to burglary charges; she was drummed out of the astronaut corps as well as the U.S. Navy.) Five years ago: Josh Powell, long identified as a person of interest in the 2009 disappearance of his wife, Susan, set fire to his home in Graham, Washington, killing himself and his two sons, 7-year-old Charles and 5-year-old Braden, who had been brought there by a social worker for a supervised visit. Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a lastminute score to beat New England 21-17 for New York’s fourth NFL title in Super Bowl XLVI (46).

That’s because the Lady Wildcats won their 50th consecutive Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division girls basketball tilt — squashing Southern 67-13. And, aside from a scoreless final quarter by both clubs, the Wildcats went off on the host Tornadoes. Waterford won the opening period 18-2, then upped the advantage to 42-6 at halftime — thanks to a 24-4 second stanza. In the third frame, the Wildcats — ranked fifth in this week’s Division IV Associated Press statewide poll — whipped past the Tornadoes 25-7, as neither squad scored a single point in the final canto. With the win, Waterford won at least a share of its third straight TVC-Hocking championship — and improved its perfect league record to 14-0. The Lady Wildcats raised their overall mark to 16-2, while Southern slipped to 9-9 —and 6-7 in the TVC-Hocking. Waterford also completed the season sweep of Southern, winning the initial meeting 58-19. The Wildcats shot a sizzling 55-percent from the field (28-of-51), dished out 19 assists, and collected 18 steals with 18 blocked shots. In addition, Waterford only committed five turnovers. The Wildcats held a massive 28-5 advantage in total field goals, and shut Southern out in three-pointers 6-0. Only four Lady Tornadoes scored —paced by Faith Teaford and Jaiden Roberts with four points apiece. Teaford tallied a pair of baskets, while Roberts had one with 2-of-4 free throws. Baylee Wolfe, with a bucket and a foul shot, and Lauren Lavender — on a field goal — rounded out the Southern scoring. Alli Kern paced the Wildcats with 16 points — on six field goals and two made free throws. She also led the guests in rebounds (nine), assists (five), steals (four) and blocks (seven). Megan Ball, on five field goals and a freebie, added 13 points. Both Ball and Kern canned a pair of threes. The Tornadoes return home, and return to TVC-Hocking Division action, on Monday night against Trimble.

Visiting Vinton County made a 14-7 surge over the final 5:22 of the first quarter and eventually made that early lead last Friday night following a thrilling 60-59 decision over the Meigs boys basketball team in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contest at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium in Meigs County. The Marauders (10-8, 5-3 TVC Ohio) never led in the contest, but the hosts managed to overcome an early deficit by tying things up at five-all following a Luke Musser basket at the 5:38 mark of the opening period. The Vikings (16-1, 8-1) hit four consecutive trifectas and six of their first eight field goal attempts en route to building a 16-7 edge, but MHS countered with five consecutive points to MERCERVILLE, Ohio — The Tornadoes’ defense was the key. Southern’s offense then took the wheel after that. Simply put, the Tornadoes stormed into “MercerVegas” on Friday night — and rolled the host South Gallia Rebels 65-43 in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division boys basketball tilt. Southern never trailed, stymied South Gallia to a mere three points in the opening quarter, and kept pulling away until it led 64-37 with only a minute and 38 seconds remaining. The Tornadoes staked a 41-15 advantage at the 3:35 mark of the third period, then withstood a 13-2 Rebel run over the next 3:45 — with nine unanswered points in an early minute-and-a-half in the fourth frame. The closest the Rebels got was a 2-2 tie only a minute and 20 seconds in, on a Josh Henry basket, as their only other first-period point was a Caleb Henry free throw with 1:54 remaining. Southern gained the lead on back-to-back three-pointers by Blake Johnson and Tylar Blevins to make it 8-2, and the Tornadoes never let the lead dip below five the rest of the way. In fact, after leading 12-3 at the first quarter’s end, the Tornadoes — thanks to 10 unanswered points in a span of two minutes and three seconds —led 27-9 with 52 seconds to play in the opening half. Southern held a double-digit advantage for the contest’s final 18 minutes and 40 seconds. With the win, the Purple and Gold raised its record to 8-9 — and 7-5 in the TVC-Hocking. And, the secret behind Southern’s success on Friday night was its defense. The young Rebels had been improving all year, but have been known to struggle offensively this season. “We felt like this would be a tough game, because South Gallia has been playing better. The key was how we played defensively, especially in that first half,” said Southern coach Jeff Caldwell. “We were making them shoot some tough shots and only giving them one shot. We did a nice job on defensive rebounding as well. We were having trouble scoring ourselves in the first half, so we needed to play good defense at that time.” With the defense doing the job, the Tornado offense heated up behind Blevins and Crenson Rogers. Both players posted nine total field goals, as Blevins bagged a gamehigh 22 points — while Rogers recorded 19. Blevins bucketed seven two-pointers and two of the Tornadoes’ three threes, as Southern amassed 27 field goals — compared to only 16 for South Gallia. Blevins also made 2-of-3 free throws, as his old-fashioned three-point play pushed the margin to 61-36. “We’ve been working hard on our defense. Sometimes we struggle to score the ball at times, but tonight our defense keyed our offense,” said Caldwell. “We started hitting some shots and did a nice job of getting the ball inside to Crenson (Rogers). He finished well, and Tylar Blevins played a real nice game for us. Hopefully, we can build on this and continue to get better every game.” All of the Tornadoes played on Friday, and only three did not reach the scoring column.

By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com SOUTH POINT, Ohio — Too much offense to keep up with. The South Point girls basketball team poured in 31 field goals, including seven trifectas, as the Lady Pointers rolled to a 73-33 victory over Ohio Valley Conference guest Gallia Academy, on Thursday night in Lawrence County. The Blue Angels (7-11, 3-8 OVC) trailed by just seven points, at 18-11, eight minutes into play, but South Point (11-6, 7-3) pushed its lead to 16 points, at 36-20, by halftime. SPHS outscored Gallia Academy 20-to-8 in the third quarter and 17-to-8 in the fourth, capping off the 73-33 Lady Pointers win. The Blue Angels were led by Hunter Copley and Adrienne Jenkins with nine points apiece. Next for GAHS was Abby Cremeans with seven points, followed by Carly Shriver with four, Kimberly Edelmann with three and Jenelle Stevens with one point. South Point was led Kate Mundy and Elisha Spencer with 11 points each, followed by Brooklyn Badgett and Abbey Hannah with 10 apiece. Emilee Whitt and Emilee Carey both scored eight points, Ashley Perkey chipped in with five, while Maddy Khounlavong and Madison Kearns each contributed four points. Leah Lawson rounded out the SPHS scoring with two points in the win. GAHS will have a chance to avenge this setback on Wednesday, when the Lady Pointers visit Centenary. After a non-conference tilt with River Valley on Saturday, the Blue Angels will resume league play on Monday, at Fairland. SPHS met with the Lady Dragons on Friday, and will return to the court on Monday, at Ironton. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Rebels From page 1B McNickle netted five points apiece, followed by four apiece from Weston Thorla and Trey Pickens. Johnson’s triple, Kody Greene’s basket, and Alex VanMeter’s fourth-quarter free throw rounded out the Southern scoring. Caleb Henry, on four field goals and 5-of-12 free throws, paced the Rebels with 13 points. Josh Henry, on four field goals and 2-of-2 freebies, added 11. Eli Ellis scored seven points —on a pair of twos and a fourth-quarter trey. Austin Stapleton sank a pair of trifectas for six points, as Josh Henry canned the club’s other three — with all four of South Gallia three-balls coming in the final stanza. Curtis Haner had a pair of second-quarter buckets, and Joey Woodall — with a third-period field goal — rounded out the Rebels. South Gallia dipped to 3-14 — and 2-10 in the TVCHocking. The Rebels returned home, and returned to nonleague action on Saturday night, against Symmes Valley.

The Vikings never tracked down the ball after it went through the net, allowing the remaining few seconds to tick away while preserving the narrow one-point triumph. The Marauders dominated the stat sheet in a variety of ways, with the main difference coming from a 38-20 overall advantage on the glass — including a 20-6 edge in offensive caroms. Both teams valued possessions as each squad committed nine turnovers. It was a tough outcome to an otherwise gutsy performance, and MHS coach Ed Fry acknowledged as much following the game. His biggest problem with the night was trying to find the one that got away, because he thought his troops did everything it needed to get out this one with a victory. “I told the kids in the locker room that we have nothing to hang our heads about. Our defense started to wear on them a little bit as the night (50 percent) and Belpre was 9-of13 (69.2 percent). EHS senior Jett Facemyer led all scorers with 27 points, 15 of which came in the fourth quarter. Kaleb Hill and Garrett Barringer both scored six points for the Green, White and Gold, Jeremiah Martindale chipped in with four points and five assists, while Sharp Facemyer added three points and four assists. Corbett Catlett marked two points and a game-best 11 rebounds for Eastern. Catlett, Hill and Sharp Facemyer each had a steal for the Eagle defense, while Martindale blocked a shot. Sprague led Belpre with 12 points, followed by Logan Adams with nine and Deijon Bedgood with eight. Brandon Simoniette scored six points for the Orange and Black, while Mythius Houghton added five points and teamhighs of five rebounds and four assists. The Golden Eagle scoring was rounded out by Ryan Simoniette with four points and Nate Godfrey with three. Adams led the Belpre defense with four steals, while Sprague and Ryan Simoniette each blocked a shot. The season series between these teams is now even at one game apiece, as BHS defeated Eastern on December 20, by a 74-58 count, in Belpre. After a non-conference trip to Green on Saturday, the Green, White and Gold will resume TVC Hocking play on Tuesday, when South Gallia visits ‘The Nest. Belpre returns home next, as the Golden Eagles host Trimble, on Tuesday.

We can certainly look back and find where we could have got another point or two throughout the course of the night, but it just wasn’t meant to be for some reason. “I will say I am happy with the way that we played because it’s the best that we’ve played in a while. The guys did everything that we asked them to do to win this one, it just didn’t happen. Hopefully we can bottle this effort up and take it with us heading into the next few weeks.” Meigs connected on 21-of59 field goal attempts for 36 percent, including a 7-of-19 effort from behind the arc for 37 percent. The hosts were also 8-of-12 at the free throw line for 67 percent. Musser led MHS with a game-high 19 points, followed by Mattox with 14 points and Kennedy with a double-double effort of 11 points and 11 rebounds. Zach Bartrum was next with seven markers, while Dillon Mahr and Weston Baer respectively rounded things out with six points and two points. Bartrum also hauled in eight rebounds in the setback. The Vikings netted 20-of-39 shot attempts for 51 percent, including an 8-of-18 effort from behind the arc for 44 percent. VCHS also made 12-of-20 charity tosses for 60 percent, including a 7-of-10 effort in the final eight minutes. Naylen Yates led the guests with 14 points and Jones contributed 12 markers, while Tristan Bartoe and Jake Speakman each chipped in 10 points. Damron also had eight points for the victors. Eli Griffith was next with four points and Nevan Yates completed the scoring with two markers. Jones hauled in a team-best five caroms and Griffith also grabbed four boards. The Vikings — who currently own a one-game lead on Athens in the league standings — secured a season sweep of MHS after posting a 64-56 decision in McArthur back on January 13. Meigs has now dropped two straight decisions and VCHS just picked up its fourth consecutive triumph.

The Eastern girls basketball team held Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Belpre to just two points over the final five minutes of play, as the hosting Lady Eagles escaped with a 39-37 victory, on Thursday night in Meigs County. Eastern (17-3, 13-2 TVC Hocking) scored seven of the first eight points, and the hosts held a six point lead, at 13-7, by the end of the first quarter. EHS opened the second period with a three-pointer, but Belpre (15-5, 12-3) responded with a 7-0 run to cut its deficit to two points, at 16-14. However, Eastern ended the half with a 6-3 run and a 22-17 lead. The hosts were held to just seven points in the third quarter, as the visiting Lady Golden Eagles trimmed the EHS lead back to two points, at 29-27, by the end of the period. Belpre took its first lead of the game 20 seconds into the fourth quarter, on a Cheyenne Barker three-pointer. Eastern regained the lead just one minute later, when Alyson Bailey hit a layup to give the hosts a 31-30 edge. The guests tied the game at 31, 33 and 35, but never regained the advantage. Eastern scored four of the final six points of the game, sealing the 39-37 victory. “A championship team, a winning team, they’re going to come in day in and day out, high two steals.

We started that second quarter, and our zone is our best defense, and we try to stay in it to keep girls out of foul trouble. But Meigs started hitting shots and it just killed us,” said River Valley coach Stephen Roderick. “They brought a little more pressure, and sometimes it’s easier to play good defense when you’re hitting shots. They come at you a little bit harder and do things a little more aggressively. Our girls turned the ball over a bit more as a result.” All of the Lady Marauders played — and only two failed to reach the scoring column. Madison Fields, on seven total field goals and a third-quarter free throw, paced Meigs and all scorers with 17 points. She and Noble, who along with Hendricks had nine points apiece, knocked in two treys. “Maddie Fields stepped up. She’s been shooting the ball well.

Rounding out the remainder of the Marauders were Danni Morris (seven points), Alli Hatfield (six points), Betzing (five points), Devin Humphreys (four points), Courtney Jones (three points), Lydia Edwards (one basket), Taylor Swartz (one basket) and Jacynda Glover (one free throw).

A little more than 80 years ago that was the case along the Ohio River. As of this writing, the Ohio River level at the Racine Locks and Dam was at 16 feet deep, meaning the level in Pomeroy was approximately 19 feet. In late January 1937, the river was more than 50 feet deeper than that in spots throughout the region. The great flood of 1937 saw the highest recorded river crest in Gallipolis at 69.60 feet, narrowly beating the 1913 flood which saw a crest of 67.90 feet. In Pomeroy and Point Pleasant, the 1937 flood was the second highest crests recorded. In Pomeroy it was 67.8 feet, one foot lower than the 1913 flood, while in Point Pleasant it was 62.70 feet, .10 feet lower than the 1913 flood.

TVMA (5:30) Photo courtesy of Jordan Pickens, Meigs County Historical Society Flood From page 1C used by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and radio operators for communication. This was the only communication in or out, relaying information about weather conditions and when help was coming as telegraph and phone lines were down and there was no rail transportation. In addition to Ohio State Highway Patrol, a network of professional radio operators and ham radio operators that assisted with getting the message out. The resilience of the people is what Pickens said stood out most to him about the flooding in 1937. The flood caused businesses to bankrupt, and took homes and possessions from people who already had very little in the great depression, but they battled back and rebuilt. The widespread flooding along the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Illinois, prompted steps to be taken to help prevent future flooding. Reservoirs were constructed and dams were ultimately built along the river. Additional photos from 1937, along with a photo project undertaken by John Scott’s daughter and granddaughter, Mary Wise and Jennifer Harrison, on the 75th anniversary of the flood can be found on the Meigs County Historical Society Facebook page or on display at the museum in Pomeroy through March. �COMICS Sunday Times-Sentinel BLONDIE Sunday, February 5, 2017 3C By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Dave Green 9 4 5 2 1 7 6 8 4 2 5 7 9 6 8 2 3 8 7 5 3 7 7 9 9 4 1 6 RHYMES WITH ORANGE By Hilary Price Difficulty Level Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane TV AND INTERNET OVER 190 CHANNELS TV & INTERNET 54 $ 94 LIMITED TIME PRICING FREE SAME DAY INSTALLATION BUNDLE HIGH SPEED INTERNET (WHERE AVAILABLE) 3 MONTHS OF PREMIUM CHANNELS OVER 50 CHANNELS: (installed and billed separately) CALL TODAY & SAVE UP TO 50%!
