Forfeiture check
delivered to
Gallia prosecutor
By Dean Wright
deanwright@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — Executive Director of Ohio
Organized Crime Investigations Commission
Rocky Nelson delivered the latest check for Gallia’s law enforcement trust fund Thursday while
discussing ways to assist Gallia law enforcement
through its resources.
According to Gallia Prosecutor Jason Holdren,
The Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Major
Crimes Task Force of Gallia-Meigs Counties was
started in September 2013. To date, the agency
has seized around half a million dollars in assets,
narcotics and cash that has been put back into law
enforcement efforts and resources.
Holdren said Nelson and he became better
acquainted Thursday as they discussed the services and resources the commission could use to
help Gallia and Meigs. Holdren said the commission is typically more secretive about its work than
typical law enforcement in the hopes of giving it
an edge against offenders.
“You note the name is major crimes,” said Holdren. “Most people think the task force just busts
drug cases, but that isn’t necessarily all they do.”
As an example, the task force recently made
arrests in mid-January in a reported prostitution
case in Gallipolis. The task force also assisted
in recent investigations into the death of a man
which has lead to tampering with evidence and
abuse of a corpse charges brought against three
suspects.
As part of the major crimes task force, the Gallia Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce says it wants to make good
on a campaign promise by putting some of the
money gathered in the law enforcement trust fund
and put it towards education efforts for youth in
the region. Holdren said he would like to invite
a nationally known ﬁgure to the area to discuss
with youth the dangers of drugs and their consequences.
The law enforcement trust fund is made up of
funds collected from the forfeitures of drug cases
and the like. Funds have previously been used to
buy police cruisers as well as training and other

POMEROY, Ohio — From the

Valley Publishing’s “Cutest Pet,”

Otis the court house cat has come
a long way.
Otis showed up at the Meigs
County Courthouse last fall, hanging around the sheriff’s ofﬁce, the
auditor’s ofﬁce and making stops at
Sonny’s on Main Street in Pomeroy
from time to time.
Maryann Parsons, a deputy auditor at the court house, said Otis
would visit the sheriff’s ofﬁce quite

a bit as a stray and Sheriff Keith
Wood actually named him after the
beloved Andy Grifﬁth Show character who would make his home in
Mayberry’s jail, at will.
Parsons said the auditor’s ofﬁce

GALLIA COUNTY — Sheriff
Matt Champlin has announced that
deputies from the Gallia County
Sheriff’s Ofﬁce recovered a stolen
John Deere Tractor that was taken
from Bridgeport Equipment earlier
this week. In addition, deputies
located what is being described as
an alleged, indoor marijuana growing operation.
“I am happy to announce that we
have located and returned the tractor to its rightful owner and that
one person was taken into custody
during the execution of the warrant,” stated Champlin.
Champlin then stated that while
deputies were serving a search
warrant related to the theft, on
Creek Road, just outside of the
Village of Vinton, deputies located
an alleged, active indoor marijuana growing operation. Also seized

County Sheriff’s Deputies.

in the search warrant was drug
paraphernalia, cultivation tools
and other possible drugs of abuse.
Gallia County Prosecutor, Jason
Holdren, is being consulted in
reference to the charges that the
suspect(s) will face.
“This was an elaborate operation that was producing illegal
drugs that pollutes our community. This type of crime breeds
and feeds other criminal activity;

like theft, robbery and assaults,”
commented Champlin. “I would
also like to thank the honest,
hardworking people of our area
for their tips and their continued
trust and support of our local law
enforcement agencies as we battle
on the frontline of the war on
drugs.”
No further details had been
released on the suspect(s) as of
press time.

Ohio Valley history
War comes to Point Pleasant
By Chris Rizer
Special to OVP

Bossard Library Director Debbie Saunders (left) stands with Ohio State Representative Ryan Smith
(R-Bidwell).

Smith honored as
champion for libraries
Staff Report

COLUMBUS — State Representative Ryan Smith (R-Bidwell) Wednesday received the Andrew Carnegie
Award from the Ohio Library Council
during the organization’s legislative
luncheon.
The Andrew Carnegie Award is presented to a government ofﬁcial who
has exhibited outstanding support of
public libraries and their efforts to
assure quality public library services
to all Ohioans.
“It was an honor to receive the
Carnegie Award from the Ohio Library
Council and to spend some time

with Debbie Saunders from the Gallia County Library, whose innovative
programs are providing services like
mobile Wi-Fi hotspots and educational
opportunities to citizens young and old
in Southeast Ohio,” said Smith.
Smith serves as the Chairman of the
House Finance Committee and represents the 93rd House District, which
includes Jackson and Gallia counties,
as well as portions of Lawrence and
Vinton counties.
The award is named after Andrew
Carnegie, who spent much of his
wealth on establishing thousands of
public libraries in the United States,
including 105 in Ohio.

It’s March 30, 1863, and the
Victor No. 2 just arrived in Point
Pleasant riddled with bullet holes.
To everyone’s horror, Cpt. Ford
reports that this damage was caused
by Confederate cavalry under the
command of General Albert Jenkins, and that one of his crew has
been killed. To make matters worse,
those Confederate soldiers, 400
strong, are now advancing towards
town. Rather than stay in town
and get caught in the crossﬁre,
many citizens cross to Gallipolis
for protection. Defending the town
would be left to Company E. of the
13th W.V. Infantry, numbering 60
men and commanded by Cpt. J.D.
Carter.
The next morning, Cpt. Carter
found his camp nearly surrounded,
and quickly ordered his men to
barricade themselves within the
courthouse. Fire was exchanged in
the street as the Union retreated,
and remaining Unionists began to
ﬂee across the river. Jenkins, in true
fashion, allowed his men to ﬁre on
the unarmed women and children.
Luckily, no bullets found their mark.
Soon realizing that he could not
force his way into the courthouse,
Jenkins attempted to negotiate with
Carter. Finding that there were still
a few Confederate sympathizers in
the town, he sent them to the courthouse with an ultimatum: surrender,
or the town will burn. Three times,
Carter sent them away and continued to ﬁght.
By 3 p.m., the Confederates had
set a bakery, a stable, and some
corncribs ablaze. On the other side
of the river, the Trumbull Guards
and 100 soldiers from the Gallipolis
Hospital Camp had taken up arms
and were preparing to join the ﬁght.
If not for the reluctance of a Government Quartermaster on board
the Victor No. 2, they may have
arrived in time for the battle. As the
record stands, they arrived just as
Jenkins began his retreat.
In a later editorial to The Weekly
Register, Carter writes, “And I will

take this occasion to thank the soldiers
and citizens of Gallipolis who did come
to our relief. I thank you gentlemen,
soldiers and citizens in the name of
Company E, 13th Va. V.I., and will say,
also, if ever you get into trouble we will
not be slow to your rescue. We know
that your will was good to come to our
assistance sooner; but we know you had
no means to cross the river, unless you
had swam it.”
By the time the battle was over, the
Confederates faced 20 killed, 25 wounded, and 27 captured. In sharp contrast,
the Union soldiers had only 2 killed, 1
wounded, and 13 captured. However,
there was one additional death.
Major Andrew Chapman Waggener,
a veteran of the War of 1812, owned
a farm on the outskirts of Point Pleasant. Upon hearing of the Confederate
army’s approach, he rode towards town
on horseback to speak with the Union
soldiers. Satisﬁed with their defense,
he began his ride home. During his
trip, he came upon some rebels, one of
which tried to take hold of his horse.
The old veteran, rather than part with
his beloved horse, hit the young soldier
with his cane. He was then mercilessly
shot and his horse taken.
In an editorial to the Wheeling
Intelligencer titled “Albert G.
Jenkins,” an anonymous Kanawha
Valley citizen writes, “If anything
had been wanting to render the
name heading this article perfectly
odious and disgusting to mankind,
that lack has been fully supplied by
the inhuman and diabolical murder
of the venerable and heroic Andrew
Waggoner, of Mason County, on

This is not the only article which
refers to Jenkins in such a malicious
manner. Others refer to him as a
coward, horse thief, murderer, and in
the Gallipolis Journal, a “renowned
freebooter and robber.” It seems that
very few in our region had a high
opinion of General Jenkins, especially
after the murder of Major Waggener.

THEIR VIEW

Conductor’s
kindness eased
my broken heart
It was the kind of crying nobody
should see, especially in a public
place. I was on the late afternoon
train out of London to Cambridge,
heartbroken because my ﬁrst real relationship was ending. (“I can’t do this
anymore,” the medical
Gina
student told me as we

Contributing “When you lived here it

was one thing, but this
is impossible.”)
Taking a seat in the last row of the
almost-empty last carriage, I shoved
myself as close as possible to the
window. I could feel that my face was
raw and red from acidic tears and
now looking at myself in the train’s
window, I could see that my eyes
were crimson-rimmed with eyelids as
white, puffy and thin as the skin on a
mushroom.
What I couldn’t understand was
that it was simply an ordinary Sunday
for everybody else in all the towns
and villages we were passing. People
would be reading the last of the newspapers, doing laundry or washing up
after a big meal, but for me the world
changed.
I kept my head turned to the window so that nobody could witness my
shame and panic, but when the conductor came by to take my ticket and
saw my expression, he sat down.
I was 22; he was probably 65, or 50,
or maybe just 45. All I knew was that
he was clearly a man whose days of
crying in public, or even sitting next
to girls who cried in public, seemed
long past. Efﬁcient, professional,
courteous, at ﬁrst glance you wouldn’t
have thought he was the type who’d
check on an unhappy, bedraggled girl.
But that’s precisely what he did. In
a way that was not typical for many
of the English people who I’d met,
he took the seat next to mine and
asked, in a straightforward manner as
if merely seeking information: “Dear
miss, are you quite all right?” I swear
it was the word “dear” that got me. I
looked up and because of his kindness
— although the tears came to my eyes
again — for the ﬁrst time in hours I
stopped crying.
Once I started talking, I kept talking. I explained how the most important relationship in my life was unraveling. I told him about how I’d bought
a one-way plane ticket to England the
year before, expecting never to return
to the states because I’d found a boy
out of a fairy tale. I told him that I’d
learned to stop believing in love after
my mother died years ago but that I
had believed in it again, and now it
was being taken away.
Finally, when I stopped to blow my
nose in a tattered piece of tissue, he
spoke. “You’ve got your life in front
of you and plenty of time to make it
a good one,” he said in businesslike
manner. “Better to learn what can’t
be ﬁxed than hold onto useless bits
and bobs.” Then he rose, accepted my
ticket and resumed doing his ofﬁcial
job.
In the 38 years since that Sunday
afternoon, I have indeed made a good
life, although it hasn’t always been
an easy one. I found true and lasting love, discovered the work I was
meant to do and created a community
of friends more comforting and wise
than I could have imagined when I
was a girl.
But there’s one thing I wish I could
have done, and that’s to thank the
conductor on that train. His patient,
sincere and yet disinterested concern
for another human being who was
clearly in pain made a irrevocable
imprint on my life and changed it for
the better.
I felt alone and hopeless before our
brief conversation. Afterward, I felt as
if the future might not be as miserable
as I thought. It didn’t take nearly as
much as I thought it would to give me
hope.
I still owe that man a debt of gratitude. I bet you owe someone that kind
of debt too. If it can’t be repaid personally, it must be dispersed outward.
Every gesture toward someone in
pain, lost or who needs help, is a way
to pass those thanks along.

At the same time, Bob Evans Farm’s
status as a primary tourist stop in
southern Ohio is a natural for instruction in that industry, if Rio Grande
would be interested in offering such a
course of study. As Hocking College
has its own motor lodge to serve as
practical experience in hospitality,
the farm under URG/RGCC’s guidance is ideal for tourism training
given its standing assets that include
a museum, outdoor venue and space
for concerts and events, as it currently
serves for the annual Gallia County
Emancipation Proclamation observation. Only a suggestion, and another
option to consider if the university is
successful in its quest.
All of this is speculation for now,
although we wish Rio Grande the
best in its talks with BEF. Seeing
the Big Kmart sign come down after
the Gallipolis store’s March 26 closing is a signiﬁcant reminder of the
need for regional economic development of some kind, and utilizing Bob
Evans Farm’s resources to do so is a
major ingredient of what our area can
offer. Don’t overlook its usefulness in
improving the local economy.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Sunday, April 2, the 92nd
day of 2017. There are 273 days left
in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow
Wilson asked Congress to declare
war against Germany, saying,
“The world must be made safe for
democracy.” (Congress declared
war four days later.)
On this date:
In 1792, Congress passed the

In 1865, Confederate President
Jefferson Davis and most of his
Cabinet fled the Confederate
capital of Richmond, Virginia,
because of advancing Union forces.
In 1932, aviator Charles A.
Lindbergh and John F. Condon went
to a cemetery in The Bronx, New
York, where Condon turned over
$50,000 to a man in exchange for
Lindbergh’s kidnapped son. (The
child, who was not returned, was
found dead the following month.)
In 1942, Glenn Miller and his

Coaches Phil Jackson and Roy

Williams were among those named
to the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Five years ago: A gunman killed
seven people at Oikos University,

where the cat was injured, it was
recently decided to keep him in
the auditor’s ofﬁce as an “ofﬁce
cat,” with visitation to the sheriff’s ofﬁce. There’s to be no more
“catting around” and so far, the
arrangement is working.
Parsons said Otis has a bed
made from a box lid, toys in the
auditor’s ofﬁce and plenty of
food. He also likes to sleep in any
available ofﬁce chairs.
“He’s got it made,” Parsons
said. “He’s loving every minute
of it.”

Of course, this isn’t the ﬁrst
time the Meigs County Court
House employees have taken a
stray under their wings. Several
years ago, several ofﬁces cared
for Shaggy, the collie-mix who
ended up being the grand marshal
for Pomeroy’s Christmas Parade,
and became an unofﬁcial door
greeter for The Daily Sentinel.
Employees in the auditor’s ofﬁce
purchased Shaggy a dog bed and
gave her all the cheese she could
handle - a trait she and Otis share.
“We call him Shaggy Jr. sometimes because he loves cheese,”
Parsons said.
Having an ofﬁce cat is also good
for the employees, with Parsons
explaining, the cat makes any kind

of day, well, better.
The staff at the auditor’s ofﬁce
decided to enter Otis into OVP’s
recent “cutest pets” contest
because they felt he was too cute
not to win. In a ﬁeld of 46 contestants, including other cats, dogs
and one pig, Otis got 58 votes,
enough to win the $50 prize which
Parsons said will be used to buy cat
food.
The sponsor of this year’s contest was River Bend Animal Clinic,
Gallipolis.
Also, ﬁnd Otis on his very own
Facebook page by searching “Mr.
Otis.”

Lady Marauders roll Blue Angels
By Paul Boggs
:,911=Ľ-3@3&gt;+=7/.3+L-97

CENTENARY, Ohio — Like
spring weather, sometimes it
takes a while to warm up.
But that’s exactly what the
Meigs High School softball
squad did on Thursday.
Against Gallia Academy, the
visiting Marauders amassed all
11 of their runs in three of the
ﬁnal four innings — and totaled
20 hits in their 11-4 non-league
victory over the host Blue
Angels.
With the win, Meigs raised its

record
to 2-1, while Gallia AcadMeigs’ Peyton Rowe (4) slides into home plate as Gallia Academy catcher

back basehits by Devyn Oliver
and Taylor Swartz, Meigs failed
to produce a single baserunner in its next nine at-bats —
against Gallia Academy pitcher
Hunter Copley.
But the Marauders erupted
after a leadoff walk to Swartz in
the fourth, as they scored three
runs on ﬁve consecutive basehits to break a scoreless tie.
Then, holding a 3-2 advantage
following ﬁve, Meigs mustered
three more markers on a pair of
hits and two Blue Angel errors
in the sixth.
In the seventh, the ﬂoodgates
before Thursday night’s rainfall
completely opened — as the
Maroon and Gold went off for

ﬁve runs on their ﬁnal nine hits.
In the ﬁfth, Swartz and Alliyah Pullins posted singles, but
were stranded at second and
ﬁrst.
Nevertheless, the 11 runs
with nine earned and 20 hits off
Copley — combined with three
GAHS errors —were more than
enough for Meigs pitcher Maddison Woodyard to work with.
Both hurlers tossed complete
games, but Woodyard only
allowed two earned runs on
eight hits with three strikeouts.
Woodyard retired the Blue
Angels 1-2-3 in the ﬁrst and

White Falcons
stunned by
Belpre, 13-12
By Alex Hawley
+2+A6/CĽ-3@3&gt;+=7/.3+L-97

BELPRE, Ohio — There’s nothing quite like an
upset with a dramatic ﬁnish.
The Wahama baseball team dropped a 13-12
decision — on a two-out walk-off home run — to
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Belpre, on Thursday evening at Civitan Park.
Belpre (2-3, 1-2 TVC Hocking) — which
dropped its ﬁrst two league games of the season
by matching 10-0 counts — took a 4-0 lead in the
bottom of the opening inning.
The White Falcons (1-3, 0-2) — who have now
lost three straight games — got three runs back
in the top of the second, but the Orange and Black
extended their lead to 6-3 in the bottom of the
inning.
Wahama tallied ﬁve runs in the top of the third
inning, giving the guests an 8-6 advantage on the
scoreboard. Belpre tied the game at eight in the
bottom of the third, but WHS reestablished its
lead, at 9-8, in the top of the fourth.
The White Falcons pushed across an insurance
run in the top of the ﬁfth, but gave the run right
back in the bottom of the frame.
After a scoreless sixth frame for both sides,
Wahama pushed its advantage to 12-9 with two
runs in the top of the seventh inning. However,
Belpre scored four times in the bottom of the seventh — with the ﬁnal three runs scoring on Isaac
Tullius’ walk-off home run — giving the Golden
Eagles a 13-12 victory over the back-to-back-toback league champs.

Marauders down Blue Devils, 6-2
By Paul Boggs
:,911=Ľ-3@3&gt;+=7/.3+L-97

CENTENARY, Ohio — By scoring four runs early, then escaping
some stressful situations late, the
Meigs Marauders managed to fend
off the hard-charging Gallia Academy Blue Devils.
As a result, this time, the
Marauders were on the right end of
a 6-2 score.
That’s because Meigs, spearheaded by four ﬁrst-inning markers,
captured a 6-2 non-league baseball
victory over the host Blue Devils
on Thursday.
The Marauders made the Blue
Devils pay for a pair of early errors,
jumping out to a 4-0 lead —which
held up until the fourth frame.
Gallia Academy then scored
single runs in the bottom of the
fourth and ﬁfth, but left the bases
loaded in the fourth —followed by
two runners in scoring position
with one out in the ﬁfth.
Meigs managed single runs itself
in the top of the sixth and seventh,
extending the four-run advantage
again to 6-2, then once again
stranding the bases full of Blue
Devils.
With the tying run at the plate,
Marauder relief pitcher K.J. Tracy
tallied his ﬁnal strikeout to end the
game.
Thus, with the win, Meigs —two
days after losing at Waterford 6-2
—raised its record to 3-1.
The Marauders opened the season with shutout victories over
Southern (8-0) and Jackson (2-0).
Gallia Academy, conversely, suffered its ﬁrst defeat to fall to 2-1.
Meigs, which outhit the Blue
Devils 9-4, stranded 11 baserunners —but that was one fewer than
the Blue Devils’ dozen.

Matt Gilkey and Tracy combined
to pitch almost the same amount
of time, and overcame four walks
apiece.
“I’m really happy with Matt
Gilkey and K.J. Tracy. This was
their ﬁrst pitching appearance this
year, and both of them did a great
job for us. We had a lot of opportunities to score runs, and I think
the more games we play, the more
we will be able to execute better,”
said Meigs coach Brent Bissell.
“I’m happy overall, because a win
against a good program like Gallia
Academy is a good win.”
That win was fueled by a fast
start.
Against Gallia Academy starting pitcher Jeremy Brumﬁeld, the
Marauders combined a leadoff
walk, two errors, a pair of ﬁelder’s
choices, and a pair of RBI-singles
by Gilkey and Christian Mattox for
their four runs.
Wesley Smith, Tyler Williams,
Luke Musser and Mattox all
scored, as Musser drove in Smith
for the ﬁrst point on a ﬁelder’s
choice.
The 4-0 advantage aided the
freshman Gilkey, who only allowed
three baserunners through the
opening three frames.
Braden Simms in the ﬁrst and
Quinton Yarger in the third both
walked, sandwiched around a
second-stanza single by Cole Davis.
“Those four runs in the ﬁrst
(inning) were huge, especially with
a freshman (Gilkey) on the mound.
It helped to give him a little bit of
a cushion,” said Bissell. “Then we
just tell our kids to throw strikes
and let the defense play. We were
able to make most of the plays
when they hit the ball. That’s all
you can ask out of your pitchers
and defense.”

Gilkey worked the opening three
and one-third innings, striking out
two batters in the third — while
facing four Blue Devils apiece in
each of those ﬁrst three.
He allowed his only run in the
fourth, when Gallia Academy’s
John Stout scored after being hit
by a pitch, stealing second and
advancing to third on an error,
then scoring on Josh Faro’s sacriﬁce ﬂy.
Gilkey was relieved after hitting
Brody Thomas with a pitch, then
walking Davis and intentionally
walking Adam Sickels.
Tracy came in — and retired the
ﬁnal two batters to escape the jam.
In the ﬁfth, the Blue Devils sliced
the deﬁcit in half to 4-2 —when
Simms walked, stole third, and
scored on an error.
Stout then reached on an error
and Faro singled, but Tracy got the
ﬁnal two outs again —including
another strikeout.
Tracy tossed the ﬁnal three and
two-thirds, allowing only an earned
run on three hits with three Ks.
His ﬁnal strikeout came on the
ﬁnal at-bat —after Stout singled,
Thomas reached on a ﬁelder’s
choice, and Davis walked to load
the bases.
The Blue Devils’ only other hit
was a Dylan Smith single in the
sixth.
Gallia Academy’s approach of
“small ball” never played much of a
role on Thursday.
“We had a couple of errors in
the ﬁrst (inning) thanks to very
poor defense. We spotted them
four runs. Then we gave ourselves
a chance, but we couldn’t get a
big hit. We left the bases loaded
twice,” said GAHS coach Rich

batters apiece in the second and third.
The only Gallia Academy hits until the
ﬁfth were a Kimberly Edelmann double in
the second, and a leadoff single in the third
by Allie Jo Clagg.
Edelmann doubled again to lead off the
ﬁfth, then Clagg plated her with an RBIsingle.
In between, Carly Shriver singled, as Copley crossed Clagg with an RBI-basehit.
In the seventh, Shriver walked to lead off,
as Ryleigh Caldwell reached on an error.
Alex Barnes then singled Shriver home,
before Jenna Meadows — who singled in
the sixth — brought in Caldwell for the 11-4
ﬁnal.
Swartz, Pullins, Bre Zirkle and Peyton
Rowe racked up three hits apiece for Meigs,
as Rowe recorded a seventh-inning double.
Danielle Morris, Morgan Lodwick and Bre
Colburn collected two hits apiece, as Colburn, Zirkle, Lodwick and Rowe registered
one RBI.
Woodyard added a hit and one RBI, as
Oliver’s sacriﬁce ﬂies to left in the sixth and
seventh drove in runs.
Both clubs have league tilts on Monday,

around. We just didn’t get it tonight. And we
were never in the situation where we could
make our short game factor into the game.”
However, leadoff walks to the Marauders
— by Gallia Academy reliever Kaden Thomas — resulted in their ﬁnal two runs.
In the sixth, Michael Kesterson led off
with a walk, then scored with two outs three
batters later by Zach Helton.
In the seventh, Mattox drew a leadoff
free pass, then crossed for the ﬁnal run two
batters later on an RBI-groundout by Isaiah
Fish.
Mattox, Musser and Helton had two
hits apiece for the Marauders, as Musser
doubled in the ﬁfth while Williams doubled
in the second.
Briar Wolfe, with a single in the ﬁfth, was
the only other basehit for Meigs.
Thomas walked Tracy twice in the ﬁnal
two frames, as Stout recorded the ﬁnal
Marauder out in the seventh.
Brumﬁeld pitched the ﬁrst ﬁve innings for
the Blue and White, as he was charged with
the pitching loss.
He allowed three earned runs on eight hits
and two walks with ﬁve strikeouts.
The Marauders, already without Cody
Bartrum and Layne Acree with seasonending injuries, lost standout pitcher Chase
Whitlatch with a shoulder injury in the
sixth.
He left the game after being inserted as
a pinch-runner, as his status was unknown
immediately afterwards.

Flying squirrels are
much more common
than you think
If you ask someone to identify the most common squirrel species in Ohio, most people would
probably tell you it is the familiar gray squirrel
– commonly seen in towns and
suburbs, in parks and anywhere
else there are trees around.
While gray squirrels are certainly
common, they aren’t the most common squirrel species in Ohio. That
distinction belongs to the secretive
Southern Flying Squirrel (GlaucoIn the
mys Volans), at least according to
Open
the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
Jim
The Southern Flying Squirrel
Freeman
is found throughout the eastern
United States, from Florida north
to Quebec, and from central Texas eastwards.
Its home is in mixed deciduous woods, although
as a youngster I encountered them in southern
pine forests.
They are much smaller than their gray and fox
squirrel cousins, and their fur is an olive-brown
on top with white underneath. They breed twice
a year, in the spring and fall, with two to six
young per litter.
Flying squirrels came to my attention recently
when a friend of mine was evicting what she
thought to be starlings out of an old birdhouse,
and was surprised when a ﬂying squirrel stuck
its head out of the hole. She said it looked to
see what was going on, and then sprang away.
She does not like European Starlings, but she
was totally cool with the ﬂying squirrel living
in the box, although she hoped that she did not
frighten it into moving away.
My own experiences with ﬂying squirrels
usually involved disturbing a den of them, then
watching them pop out of a hollow tree, scattering to neighboring trees, then quickly disappearing. They spring from tree to tree, usually zip
around to the other side of the trunk, scamper
up the tree, and repeat the process until they get
to where they are going.
There are a probably a few things you don’t
know about the ﬂying squirrel.
One. They are pretty much everywhere, probably all around you, but they are largely nocturnal
(unless disturbed) and very secretive. You will
rarely ever know that they are around.
Two. Unlike the aviator helmet-wearing Rocket J. “Rocky” Squirrel, from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, real ﬂying squirrels do not actually
ﬂy, rather they glide using ﬂaps of loose skin
called “gliding membranes” that stretch from
their wrists to their ankles. When they stretch
out their arms and legs, this membrane gives
them added lift. The closest human analogy to
this is the wingsuit worn by adventure seeking
skydivers. Since they don’t actually ﬂy, ﬂying
squirrels have to quickly triangulate the distance
from tree to tree before springing off.
Three. Although ﬂying squirrels are quick
and graceful in the air, they are clumsy on the
ground and vulnerable to predators, which
include snakes, birds of prey, raccoons and other
animals. In areas close to humans, domestic
house cats can be especially dangerous.
Four. Flying squirrels are very social animals
and dens of 24 or more are not unheard of, especially in the winter. Congregating like this allows
them conserve energy by sharing warmth.
Five (and this one is really cool). Relic populations of Northern Flying Squirrels still live
in isolated clusters in the highest elevations in
West Virginia. According to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, the subspecies was separated
from the main species when the ice sheets receded about 10,000 years ago. The West Virginia
subspecies of the Northern Flying Squirrel was
in danger of extinction as recently as the 1980s,
but populations have recovered and stabilized
since then.
Six. Flying squirrels will eat pretty much anything. Although they will typically eat nuts and
acorns, other things are on their menu as well:
seeds, fruit, small animals and birds, carrion,
and even mushrooms and other fungi.
So even though you may rarely see them, if
you live around the woods chances are that you
have more than a few ﬂying squirrels as neighbors.

Conservation District. He can be contacted weekdays at 740-9924282 or at jim.freeman@oh.nacdnet.net

Point unlucky against Irish, 18-10
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The
Big Blacks practically doubled their
run production this season on Thursday night. Unfortunately, they also
surrendered the most runs they’ve
given up since the 2014 campaign.
The Point Pleasant baseball team
reached double digits for the ﬁrst
time this spring, but visiting Charleston Catholic never trailed while rolling to an 18-10 victory on Thursday
during a non-conference matchup in
Mason County.
The Big Blacks (1-6) dropped their
third consecutive overall decision,
but the hosts increased their seasonal
run production from 11 scores in six
games to 21 runs in seven outings
after a 10-hit performance against the
Irish.
CCHS, however, pounded out 21 hits
against four Point hurlers — with six of
those safeties coming in the pivotal second frame that saw the guests plate ﬁve
runs while turning a three-all contest
into a permanent 8-3 advantage.

Point Pleasant shortstop Hunter Blain waits on
a force out throw at second base as Charleston
Catholic’s Nick Wentz (5) tries to slide in safely
during the second inning of Thursday night’s
baseball contest in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

PPHS answered with two runs in
the home half of the second to close
to within 8-5, but the Red and Black
were ultimately never closer the rest
of the way.
The Irish (6-1) increased their lead
to 12-8 through ﬁve complete, then
scored six straight runs over the next
two frames to take their largest lead
of the night at 18-8 midway through
the seventh.
Point Pleasant answered with two
runs in its ﬁnal at-bat, but the hosts

eventually ran out of chances in the
eight-run setback.
Both teams produced two home runs
apiece and also committed ﬁve errors
each in the contest. CCHS stranded 10
runners on base, while the Big Blacks
left only four on the bags.
Brendan Lanham was the winning
pitcher of record for the Irish after
allowing eight runs (four earned), eight
hits and one walk over ﬁve innings
while striking out ﬁve. Levi Mitchell
took the loss after surrendering eight
earned runs, nine hits and one walk
over 1.2 frames of work.
Tucker Mayes and Abe Stearns led
PPHS with two hits apiece, with each
player also producing a long-ball in the
loss. Mayes hit a three-run shot to rightcenter in the ﬁrst and Stearns added a
three-run blast to left-center in the ﬁfth.
Josh Wamsley, Alec Smith, Miles Williams, Austin Richardson, Hunter Blain
and Carter Smith also had a safety
apiece for the hosts.
Mayes led PPHS with four RBIs and
Stearns knocked in three runs. Williams
and Richardson also accounted for an
RBI each.

Smith, Williams and Mayes each
scored twice, while Wamsley, Mitchell,
Stearns and Blain also touched home
plate one time apiece.
Brandon Combs led CCHS with
four hits, followed by Luke McKown,
Michael Martin, John Hufford and
Dominic Martin with three safeties
apiece. Trae Swisher — who had a tworun homer in the second and a threerun bomb in the ﬁfth — joined Thomas
Blaydes with two hits each, while
Parker Ross also added a safety.
Swisher led the guests with ﬁve RBIs
and joined Blaydes with three runs
scored. Michael Martin and Dominic
Martin also drove in four RBIs and
three RBIs, respectively.
The 18 Charleston Catholic runs were
the most given up by a Point Pleasant
team since a 20-9 setback to visiting
Logan back on April 5, 2014.
The Big Blacks return to action Saturday when they travel to Nitro High
School for a 3 p.m. contest against
Greenbrier East.

GALLIPOLIS — With an upcoming program to be featured at the Ariel-Ann Carson
Dater Performing Arts Centre April 22 to
be held in honor of Gallipolis native O.O.
McIntyre as one of pop culture’s ﬁrst reporters, we at Ohio Valley Publishing went back
through our archive to see where the Sunday
Times-Sentinel started in celebration of local
journalism history.
This copy originally ran in the Oct. 15,
1990 bicentennial collector’s edition of the
Gallipolis Daily Tribune.
Since 1818, Gallipolis and Gallia County
have had 18 newspapers. Only two have survived.
One is the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, founded in 1893. The other is the weekly Sunday
Times-Sentinel which began as The Gallia
Times on June 1, 1898.
Although the Sunday Times-Sentinel
turned 25 on Feb. 6 this year, Gallipolis and
Gallia County have had a weekly “Times”
publication for 92 consecutive years. The
Sunday Times-Sentinel was born Feb. 6,
1966, a combination of the Saturday Gallia
Times, Gallipolis and Saturday Daily Sentinel, Pomeroy.
As of Oct. 14, a “Times” has been published 4,799 consecutive weeks for Gallia
Countians since that ﬁrst issue in 1898. The
Times was co-founded by J.W. Booton (18331917) and Arthur Harding (1871-1930) and
was ﬁrst published on the corner of Locust
St., and Second Ave., current ofﬁce of the
Wood Insurance Agency, Inc.
The weekly has survived many changes of
base (six) four major wars, six different ownerships and 10 editors.
The late Harry R. Hurn, third editor, said
“The Gallia Times was unquestionably called
‘Child of Destiny.’” Continued Hern, who
died on April 30, 1961, “It made its debut
into an already overcrowded and highly competitive ﬁeld and has survived them all.”
The Tribune, Journal and Bulletin were
ﬁrmly established, ably edited, supplemented
by Vinton Leader and Gallia County News.
The infant newcomer was received with no
great acclaim by either the public or press.
Most prosperous years (before World War
II) were in 1920-21, when it was housed
in the Universalist Church, now the site of
Elliott’s Union 76, 447 Second Ave. The
Journal had absorbed the Vinton Leader, and
the Bulletin took over both, these merged
with the Gallia Times. That increased circulation to 3,500. (Note — During World War
II, circulation jumped over the 6,000 mark.
Today, approximately 13,000 subscribe to
the weekliy which now serves the Tri-County
area.
During the paste nine decades, the Times
had never ventured far from its origination
point — 32 Locust St. It has been located in
the Park Building twice, now the law ofﬁce
of Atty. David T Evans. 456 Second Avenue;
The Ecker Block, now part of Saunders
Insurance Co., 439 Second Avenue and law
ofﬁces of Atty. Douglas M. Cowles; Gallipolis Daily Tribune ofﬁce, 425 Second Avenue,
from 1942-67, now home of The French City
Press and its current Gallipolis location, 825
Third Avenue.
Only six editors served during the ﬁrst 55
years of publication, Harding and Booton,
the co-founders, were the ﬁrst. Harding
became a sole editor in 1899. In 1904, Harry
Royal Hurn began what has roved to be the
longest tenure of editorship in the paper’s
history — 34 years. He relinquished that
post in 1938. Charles Barnet held the job
four years, until Jim Porter became editor in
1942. Coell Wetherholt became the publisher.
Porter remained editor until Aug. 1, 1953.
Within the next six years, the Times had four
different editors, and one acting editor. They
were: Vic Sherow, Brian MacNamara, Fred
Read, Dwight C. Wetherholt and John Glancy
(acting editor in 1958-59). Present editor is
Hobart Wilson Jr.
The Times was published on Thursday for
a number of years before switching to Saturday on Jan. 12, 1946.
The Weekly received statewide ratings
under Jim Porter’s leadership in 1949, 1950,
and 1951 by the Ohio Newspaper Association’s weekly newspaper show.

Attendees were told about
the status of the Meigs County

priority areas being addressed
include substance abuse, maternal and child health, workforce
development, chronic disease
and healthy behaviors. Execution of the ﬁve-year plan, which
currently is being ﬁnalized and
will be posted on the MCHD’s
website, will be a collaborative
effort of numerous partners
throughout the County.
With no other business to be
