information on the scenario for their role in the
mock disaster.
EMS, fire fighters, the
Red Cross, EMA and
many others were to
play out the situation as
if it were a real disaster
which they were responding to.
The hazardous materials emergency drill was
conducted by the Meigs
County Emergency
Management Agency
and Local Emergency
Preparedness Committee to test the skills and
knowledge of local agen-
cies should there be a
real emergency.
“This year’s drill was
held at the Meigs County
Fairgrounds and involved
a truck which was hauling chlorine cylinders
crashing near a crowd of
people,” stated a release
regarding the drill.

THEIR VIEW
POW survived
hell, and became
an inspiration
By Kevin Ferris
Contributing columnist
Air Force Maj. Leo Thorsness waited more than six
years for the Medal of Honor he was awarded for his
actions over North Vietnam on April 19, 1967.
On that day, Thorsness and his wingman had successfully taken out two surface-to-air missile sites. But
the second plane was hit by antiaircraft fire. The crew
ejected, and when an MiG-17 took aim at the descending
parachutes, Thorsness turned his F-105 on the enemy jet
and destroyed it with his gatling gun.
After a midair refueling, Thorsness returned to the
area where the crew had landed safely, although in enemy
territory. Now there were four MiGs. Outnumbered,
almost out of ammo, and the target of a missile barrage
from below, Thorsness engaged. He took down a second
MiG and drove off the rest. Again dangerously low on
fuel, he saved another crew by allowing them to refuel
from a nearby tanker while he, from 35,000 feet, essentially glided to the Udorn Royal Thai Air Base 70 miles
away, his engines shutting down just as they landed.
Lt. Col. Thorsness received his medal from President
Richard Nixon during a White House ceremony on Oct.
19, 1973. With him were his wife, his daughter, and his
mom, brother, and sister.
The reason for the long delay? Just 11 days after saving the lives of the parachuting crew, Thorsness was himself shot down by an air-to-air missile from a MiG.
“It was the beginning of an ordeal that would brutalize
me,” he wrote in “Surviving Hell,” “and, paradoxically
for anyone who didn’t share the unique experience of
the POWs, also allow me to become a better and fuller
person.”
He would spend the next six years as a POW, enduring
torture — they broke his back — solitary confinement,
and malnutrition. Yet the horrific conditions did not
break his spirit, nor that of his fellow Americans. The
North Vietnamese had their bodies, but not their minds
or their souls. They inspired each other to resist, and
came to appreciate their country even more.
At one point, Thorsness had used a rusty nail to painstakingly drill a small hole through the mortar of his cell
wall. Spotting a guard outside led him to reflect on the
many opportunities he’d been granted just by being born
an American.
“Here I was, locked in a grimy, tiny five-by-six-foot
cell, and he was walking around unrestrained outside,”
Thorsness wrote. “But I knew I was the lucky one. In my
35 years of freedom, I have had a better, fuller life and
had done and seen more than he ever would. A thought
stuck in my mind that never left me in the years I was a
prisoner: If I die now, I am way ahead of the game.”
Later in his captivity, when he was among the POWs
moved from smaller cells to one holding 42 men, the
Americans decided to hold a church service on their
first Sunday together. But when they gathered at one
end of the long rectangular cell, guards burst in, refusing
permission for any large gatherings and unequivocally
forbidding any kind of worship service.
The Americans backed down then, but devised a plan
to push back the following Sunday. That day they again
all gathered at one end of the cell, and guards rushed in.
The senior ranking officer, Ned Shuman, explained that
they would hold a 10-minute service and then disperse.
“As expected,” Thorsness wrote, “they grabbed Ned and
hauled him off … for torture.”
But that did not end of the matter.
“The second ranking man … walked to the center of
the cell and in a clear firm voice said, ‘Gentlemen,’ our
signal to stand, ‘the Lord’s Prayer,’” Thorsness continued. “We got about halfway through the prayer, when the
guards grabbed (him) and hauled him out the door.”
The third ranking man then stood. “Gentlemen, the
Lord’s Prayer.” They got as far as “Thy Kingdom come”
before he was dragged away.
The number four man rose.
“I have never heard five or six words of the Lord’s
Prayer — as far as we got before they seized him —
recited so loudly, or so reverently,” Thorsness wrote.
“The guards were now hitting POWs with gun butts and
the cell was in chaos.”
The fifth man, too, was taken out mid-prayer, but this
time all the guards left with him. When the sixth man
stood to lead them, the Americans were able to complete
the prayer.
“Five courageous officers were tortured, but I think
they believed it was worth it,” Thorsness wrote. “From
that Sunday on until we came home, we held a church
service. We won. They lost. Forty-two men in prison
pajamas followed Ned’s lead. I know I will never see a
better example of pure raw leadership or ever pray with a
better sense of the meaning of the words.”
Leo Thorsness, 85, died on May 2, survived by his
wife of 64 years, Gaylee, his daughter Dawn, and two
grandchildren. Like many of his fellow POWs, he made
the most of his life after liberation. The better and fuller
person he’d become was unfailingly good-humored, loyal
and a source of inspiration.
The humor came through in the way he spoke about
life after captivity: “If the doorknob is on the inside, it’s a
good day.”
The inspiration took many forms, but is clear from this
motto he often shared — one he more than lived up to:
“Do what’s right, and help others. If people live by
those words, their life is going to be OK.”

Hummingbirds
are a summer
time favorite
One of the most-loved
birds in our area, and
everywhere actually, is
the hummingbird.
There are over 300
different species of hummingbirds around the
world, and dozens of species in North America,
but here in Ohio and
West Virginia the most
common is
the RubyThroated
Hummingbird, or
Archilochus
colubris.
When someone says
In the
“hummingOpen
bird,” that’s
Jim
the species
Freeman
that comes
to mind.
The Ruby-Throated
Hummingbird weighs less
than an ounce, and if you
have ever watched them
in action you know that
they can fly forwards,
backwards, and hover
in midair, then zip away
just as quickly as they
appeared – they can
reportedly fly as fast as
60 miles an hour. Hummingbirds are the only
bird species that can fly
backwards.
To me one hummingbird pretty much looks
like another; they move
too fast for my eyes to
discern much in the way
of details, but I do enjoy
watching them flying
about, usually announced
by the humming sound
which gives them their
name.
According to the Ohio
Division of Wildlife, the
Ruby-Throated Hummingbird nests in trees, generally those at the edge
of the woods or other
openings, such as along
a wooded stream side. If
you are able to locate the
tiny nest, which is the
size of half an English
walnut shell, you may
well find nests in the
same area in future years.
Hummingbirds are
polygamous breeders,
meaning they do not form
pairs that mate for life.
Peak breeding activity
occurs in June and July,
and young are hatched in
the same months, as the
two eggs are only incubated for 14-16 days. The
young leave the nest just
20-22 day after hatching.
Usually two broods are
produced in a year.
Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds spend the
summer in eastern North
America including well
up into Canada, in the
fall they migrate south
to Central America, as
far south as Panama, and

Meigs senior Danielle Morris hits the game-winning two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, in Saturday’s sectional final at Dreams Field.
Lady Marauders edge Waverly, 2-1 for sectional title
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio —
The Lady Marauders were held
to just one hit, but it came at
the right time and proved to be
all they needed.
The second-seeded Meigs
softball team seized a 2-1 victory over third-seeded Waverly,
in Saturday’s Division II sectional final at Dreams Field
in Meigs County, thanks to a
two-run double by MHS senior
Danielle Morris, with two
outs in the bottom of the sixth
inning.
Meigs (20-3) — which gave
up the first run of the game in
the top of the fourth inning —
had just two base runners over
the first five inning, as Morris
and Breanna Zirkle both drew
walks.
The Lady Marauders’ third
baserunner of the game was
Ciera Older, who led off the
sixth inning with a base on
balls. The next batter, MHS
senior Devyn Oliver grounded
to the Waverly (16-11) shortstop, who got the lead runner
at second base, but couldn’t
turn the double play.
“Because of her speed they
didn’t get her at first,” thirdyear MHS head coach Bryan
Swann said of Oliver, who also
competes as one of the top
sprinters on the Meigs track
and field team. “It was a sure
double play that they didn’t get
and it turned out to be a big
play in the game.”
After a strikeout for the
second out of the inning, MHS
senior Alliyah Pullins worked
the count full, before drawing a walk. After a timeout by
Waverly, Oliver and Pullins
advanced to third and second
base respectively on a double
steal.
“I was borderline on doing it,
I was probably going to back
off from doing it, and (Oliver)
came to me and said lets do
it,” Swann said of the double
steal play. “Of course she is one
of the faster kids on the team
and that made the difference in
the game.”
With both runners in scoring position, Morris, the MHS
cleanup batter, came through
with the team’s only hit of the
day, a line drive double to left
centerfield. Oliver’s run tied
the game and Pullins scored
the game-winning run on Morris’ hit.
“It was just huge,” Swann
said of Morris’ game-winning
double. “We struggled against
this pitcher. We talked all year
about stepping up during big
times. In pregame ‘Eye of the
Tiger’ came on, when (Morris) got up to bat I pulled my
sunglasses up and said ‘See
it? The Eye of the Tiger’. She
stepped up and did her thing.”
Waverly hit back-to-back
two out singles in the seventh
inning, but Pullins struck out
the next batter to strand the
potential game-tying run at
second base and seal the 2-1
MHS freshman Breanna Zirkle throws to first base during the Lady Marauders’
2-1 win over Waverly, on Saturday in Rocksprings.
MHS victory.
“I’ve talked all week that they
had a good pitcher, their pitcher is signed with Ball State,
and we had to keep it close
to give ourselves a chance,”
Swann said. “I’m just happy for
these kids. That’s the kind of
pressure that we’ve needed to
feel all year, we felt it and we
came through.”
Pullins was the winning
pitcher of record in a complete
game for hosts, striking out
two and allowing one earned
run, on four hits and one hit

Wahama senior Philip Hoffman delivers a pitch
during the White Falcons’ 10-0 loss at Ravenswood,
in the Class A Region IV, Section 1 tournament, on
Saturday.
RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. — Give the Red
Devils their due, they did something no
team in Class A has done since 2014.
The back-to-back Class A state champion Wahama baseball team — which was
seeded third in this year’s Region 4, Section 1 tournament — has been eliminated
from the postseason, as top-seeded host
Ravenswood claimed a 10-0 victory in five
innings, on Saturday at Wright Field in
Jackson County.
Ravenswood (20-7) — which is 3-0 in
so far this postseason, outscoring teams
by a 34-1 clip — scored the game-winning
run with two outs in the bottom of the
first inning, when Chase Swain blasted a
solo home run.
After a scoreless second frame, RHS
added two runs with two outs in the third
inning, as Nathan Curtis doubled home
Stephen Dawson and Nic Taylor.
A two-run single by Dawson highlighted a four-run fourth inning for the hosts,
extending the margin on the scoreboard
to 7-0. With two outs in the bottom of the
fifth, the Red Devils scored three runs to
cap off the 10-0 mercy rule win.
The winning pitcher of record for RHS
was Curtis, who tossed a complete game
no-hitter. Curtis struck out eight batters,
walked two and hit one.
WHS senior and Marshall University
signee Philip Hoffman — who hurt his
knee on a sliding play in Friday’s WHS
win — took the loss in four innings on
the mound, striking out four batters,
while allowing seven earned runs, on six
hits and five walks.
Nyles Riggs pitched the fifth inning for
the White Falcons, striking out two and
allowing three earned runs, on two hits
and two walks.
Taylor led the Ravenswood offense,
going 3-for-4 with a double, two bunt
singles, two runs scored and one RBI.
Swain hit a home run in his only at-bat, as
the RHS junior was walked in his other

Wahama slips past Crusaders, 8-7
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
MASON, W.Va. — It
dosen’t have to be pretty,
just survive and advance.
The Wahama baseball
team claimed a hardfought 8-7 victory over
visiting Parkersburg Catholic, in a Class A Region
4, Section 1 elimination
game on Friday in Mason
County.
The Crusaders (8-13)
— who had won back-toback elimination games
headed into Friday —
took a 2-0 lead in with
two outs in the opening
inning, as Bryce Moore
doubled home Ryan Roedersheimer and Ty Strum.
PCSH retired Wahama
(18-10) in order in the
bottom of the first and the
guests added to their lead
in the top of the second
frame, as Joel Stophel and
Isaac Walters both scored
on an error.
“After the first inning
we were down two runs
and that didn’t seem to
bother them any,” WHS
head coach Tom Cullen said after the game.
“Then when we got down
four runs, it put a little
more pressure on them.
Give Parkersburg Catholic
credit, they hit the ball.”
The White Falcons
loaded the bases with no
outs in the bottom of the
second, but a double play
and a groundout to the
pitcher allowed Parkersburg Catholic to escape
the frame unscathed.
A one-out double gave
the guests two runners
in scoring position in the
top of the third, but a
strikeout and a groundout
to the pitcher ended the
frame.
Wahama began its fight
back with no outs in the
bottom of the third, as
Nyles Riggs scored on an
error, Colton Arrington
scored on a double steal,
and David Hendrick
scored on a single by
Philip Hoffman.
“We lost a big opportu-

nity when we hit into the
double play with the bases
loaded,” Cullen said of the
second inning. “When we
got those three runs, it
gave us a little more confidence, it was a lot tighter
game and we had a shot.”
After a scoreless fourth
inning for both sides, the
Red and White completed
their comeback in the bottom of the fifth.
With no outs in the
frame, Hendrick singled
home Arrington, tying
the game at four. Wahama
took the lead, at 6-4, as
Hoffman and Jacob Fisher
scored on a bases loaded
error.
Still with no outs in
the frame, Dalton Kearns
scored on a bases loaded
walk to give WHS a 7-4
lead. What appeared to
be a sacrifice fly on the
next at-bat, turned in to
a doubled play, as the
White Falcon baserunner
was called out for leaving
the base early.
A 1-to-3 groundout on
the next at-bat allowed
PCHS to escape before
more damage was done.
The Crusaders got one
run back in the top of the
sixth, as Logan Plummer
scored from second base,
on a passed ball.
Wahama pushed its lead
back to three runs, at 8-5
in the bottom of sixth,
as Wyatt Edwards came

Nobody doesn’t like
hummingbirds. Which is
convenient because the
hummingbird is one species that can definitely
benefit from the presence
of humans, especially
humans who plant nectarrich flowering species
or put out hummingbird
feeders.
Every fall I get several phone calls about
when people should put
out or take down their
hummingbird feeders;
a general rule of thumb
for our area is put them
out by tax day (April 15)
and leave them up until
the middle of October,
or about two weeks after
you see the last one.
Some people think that
keeping your feeders out
will prevent the hummingbirds from migrating
south, that isn’t the case,
in fact they need that nectar for the trip. My advice
is to not be in a hurry to
take them down, just keep
an eye on your feeders
and when they stop coming, give them another
week or two, then take
them down. Also, don’t
use the colored hummingbird nectar; sugar water
with one part sugar to
four or five parts of water
will work just fine.
Gardeners can also
plant flowers that hummingbirds like; generally
red, orange or bright pink
tubular flowers are great
sources of nectar for hummingbirds.
Did you know that
hummingbirds don’t only
drink nectar? They also
eat small insects they
catch on flowers or in the
air – those ants at your
hummingbird feeder can
also be hummingbird
snacks
Even as small and fast
as they are, they do have
predators. Hummingbird
predators include domestic and feral cats, accidental car strikes, SharpShinned Hawks, even
praying mantises and
large fish, and sometimes
even plants like cockleburs. Of course snakes
and other critters can rob
hummingbird nests.
A wildlife urban legend
states that Ruby-Throated
Hummingbirds ride on
the backs of geese during
migration while another
one claims that they don’t
have feet! Other people
think their bills are like
hollow straws while they
are actually just long, thin
bills.
In short, there are plenty of wonderful things to
know about hummingbirds without having to
make things up.

walks in the top of the
seventh loaded the bases
for the guests. After a
flyout back to the pitcher,
Plummer singled home
two runs, pulling the
Crusaders within one run,
at 8-7. However, with runners at the corners, Riggs
struck out the next batter
for WHS and sealed the
8-7 victory.
“It wasn’t pretty, but it
was a win,” Cullen said.
“It means we get to play
at least one more game in
the tournament, and we’re
not done yet.”
Kearns struck out five
batters and earned the
pitching victory in 5.1
innings on the mound
for Wahama. The White
Falcon starter allowed
five runs, two earned,
on seven hits and three
walks.
Antonio Serevicz
pitched one inning of
relief, allowing two
earned runs and a trio of
walks. Riggs earned the
save, pitching the final .2
innings, while striking out
one, walking one and surrendering one hit.
Sturm suffered the
setback in five innings of
work for PCHS, allowing
seven runs, six earned,
on eight hits, six walks,
and a hit batter, while
striking out one. Moore
pitched the final frame for
the guests, allowing one
unearned run, while walking one and hitting one
batter.
Hoffman and Jared
Oliver each had two hits
to lead the WHS offense,
with Hoffman scoring
once and driving in
one run. Tanner Smith
doubled once and drove
in one run, Arrington
singled once and scored
twice, Hendrick added
a single, a run scored
and an RBI, while Riggs
singled once and scored
once.
Kearns, Edwards and
Firsher each scored a run
in the win, with Kearns
also contributing an RBI.
Plummer and Jeb Boice
led the guests with two
hits apiece. Plummer
and Moore both had
two RBIs, while Stophel
and Walters each scored
twice.
Wahama committed
four errors and left seven
runners on base, while
Parkersburg Catholic had
three errors and stranded
11 runners.
The White Falcons
swept the Crusaders in
the regular season, winning 12-2 in the season

Truex finally wins at
Kansas Speedway
after late restart
GA runners-up in OVC track meet
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr.
finally ended his string of rotten luck at Kansas
Speedway.
Danica Patrick was left to rue more bad luck of her
own.
Truex pulled away from Ryan Blaney and Kevin
Harvick on a late restart Saturday night, winning the
NASCAR Cup Series race that he seemed to dominate every year without reaching victory lane.
“They’re all so special, honestly. These races are
so hard to win,” said Truex, who had a fluke tire
change problem rob him of the win after leading 172
laps last year. “Any of those restarts I could have
gotten beat on. You never know what’s going to happen.”
Brad Keselowski made a pass on the final lap to
take second, followed by Harvick and Blaney.
Kyle Busch rounded out the top five after winning
the Truck Series race Friday night.
“We were really good all day and just never had a
chance to show it,” Keselowski said. “Every time we
had a chance to pass cars and cycle up front, something happened, which was a real bummer.
“Toward the end we made some runs and made
the most of it.”
The race was halted with 67 laps to go when a broken brake rotor turned Joey Logano’s car into Patrick, sending her hard into the fence in the first turn.
Aric Almirola had nowhere to go and slammed
into Logano, the force of the impact lifting his car
into the air.
Logano and Patrick were treated and released
from the infield care center, while Almirola was airlifted to the University of Kansas Medical Center.
He was conscious and alert.
“I hope Aric is OK. He’s definitely feeling the
worst of everybody,” Patrick said. “NASCAR does
everything it can to make it safe for everybody but
these things happen. One of these times, these accidents aren’t going to be good for me. They’re all big.
I’ve been fortunate so far.”
When it comes to escaping accidents unharmed.
But Patrick has had very little fortune on the track,
crashing out of the last four races and failing to finish five times this season.
“Just out of nowhere. Everything was fine and
then it took a hard one,” Logano said. “I hate that
I’m the part of it that started it. I don’t know what I
could have done.”
The race tied a track record with 15 cautions, and
the last of them for a spin involving Jimmie Johnson
bunched up the field with two laps to go.
Truex dove to the bottom and roared from the rest
of the field, ensuring there would be no more misfortune for him at Kansas.
It was Truex’s ninth career win and second this
season.
He also won at Las Vegas.
“I felt like if I could get out front on those restarts,
I was OK,” Truex said. “If I came out second or
third, it took me a long time to get around guys.”

drove in two more, including Chasity Adams in the
fifth to make it 9-3.
“We started off slow,
left a lot of girls on base

Jenna’s (Meadows) home
run helped pick the girls

That’s because, on Saturday at the annual Ohio
Valley Conference track
and field meet at Gallia
Academy High School,
the host Blue Devils and
Blue Angels earned runner-up finishes to team
champion Fairland.
The Blue Angels, also
the runner-up to Fairland
in GAHS’ first OVC meet
a year ago, only placed
behind the Dragons by a
mere four points.
Gallia Academy
amassed 138 points to
Fairland’s 142, and in
fact captured a halfdozen individual event
championships —and
were runner-up in four
others.
The Dragons, despite
winning only the high
jump (Allie Marshall)
and discus throw (Jackie
Wagner), did utilize
their depth to nudge the
hosts.
On the boys side, the
Blue Devils did improve
from fifth-place last season, gaining 110 points
while winning four
events and taking second
in three others.
The Dragons rolled
up 148 points, as Portsmouth placed third with
98 — while Rock Hill
and Coal Grove tied for
fourth with 74.
Chesapeake placed
sixth with 64 and South
Point seventh with 61,
while Ironton ended up
eighth with 31.
For the girls, Coal
Grove (89.5) clipped
Portsmouth (88) for
third, while Ironton
(69), Rock Hill (54.5),
Chesapeake (48) and
South Point (28) rounded out the eight clubs.
The Blue Angels
opened the day with win-

the shot put.
Shipley also won the
400m dash and long
jump en route to winning
meet medalist honors for
the girls.
For the Blue Devil
boys, they won the meetopening 4x800m and the
meet-ending 4x400m.
The distance relay unit
of juniors Zac Bokal,
Caleb Greenlee and Kyle
Greenlee and senior
anchor Kaleb Crisenbery
completed the race in
eight minutes and 39
seconds.
The 4x400m group ran
its race in exactly 3:38,
as Bokal was joined by
seniors Isaiah Lester and
Dylan Nunn and fellow
junior Ezra Blain.
Crisenbery, in two
minutes and five seconds, won the 800m run
and Blain — in 43-and-ahalf seconds —won the
300m hurdles.
Crisenbery (4:46) was
the runner-up to Fairland’s Bryce Day in the
1,600m run, while Lester
was second in both the
400m (53.04) and 200m
(23.34) dashes.
