During their 2½ years in prison for his role investigation, police in a gas station robbery last learned that a silver September.

During the lis. course of the robbery, the man had pushed the store owner. The robbery occurred Sept. michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com That man was later apprehended and identified as Harris. The Gallia County Prosecutor’s Office presented the case against Harris to the grand jury in October, and Harris was indicted shortly thereafter. Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins said the Ohio Legislature, via House Bill 86 in 2011, reduced the maximum prison term for third-degree felonies from five years to three years. “We believe that the nearmaximum prison term in this case is justified by the actions of this defendant,” Adkins said. Assistant Prosecutor Eric Mulford said city police should be commended for their work on the case, which made it much easier for the prosecutor’s office to get a conviction. “The investigation in this case by the Gallipolis City Police was exemplary and allowed our office to secure a conviction, as well as ensure that this defendant serve significant time in a state prison,” he said. Assistant Prosecutor Britt Wiseman added that the robbery was most likely fueled by drug addiction. “Residents of Gallia County are tired of the burglaries and robberies. Drug addiction is no excuse for placing the wellbeing and safety of law-abiding citizens at risk,” he said. “We will continue to pursue cases just like this one to the fullest extent allowed by Ohio law.” As part of his sentence, Harris, upon his release, is to have no contact with the gas station or its owners. During sentencing, he was credited with 90 days already served due to his incarceration since the incident. Reach Michael Johnson at 740-446-2342, ext. 2102, or on Twitter @OhioEditorMike. Program sign-up is now available Staff report OHIO VALLEY — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting new applications for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program from Ohio farmers and non-industrial private forest land owners who want to improve the natural resources on their land. Applications received by Jan. 16 will be considered for funding this fiscal year. A conservation plan created by the NRCS local conservationist and the EQIP applicant provides a foundation for the EQIP application. The conservation plan includes the natural resource concerns on the land under consideration, the conservation practices that will improve or enhance natural resources on that land, the schedule for carrying out the conservation practices in the plan, and the cost of the conservation practices. For example, soil erosion caused by water leaving a bare field may negatively impact both soil and water quality. A conservation plan addressing these natural resource concerns documents the location and extent of this concern and the conservation practice or practices the farmer choses to put in place to improve soil and water quality. Several conservation practices used together as a management system provide more environmental benefits than a single conservation practice. In this example, the farmer may elect to use a no-till planting system to minimize soil erosion, plant a cover crop to improve soil quality, and use drainage water management structures to control subsurface drainage and improve water quality. Ohio NRCS received reduced funding for EQIP this year which will intensify the competition for application selection. Since EQIP is a voluntary program, an applicant may select to do as much or as little as they chose to address their natural resource issues. However, applications with multiple conservation practices provide a greater environmental benefit, increasing an application’s chance for selection. EQIP applications with conservation plans containing multiple conservation practices used in a system will outcompete applications without robust conservation plans. Submitted photos Joshua LaBello, owner of Eny Ink Tattoo, adds to his client Garrett Counts’ tattoo sleeve. LaBello will soon work on covering the scars of three winners of his scar-cover up tattoo contest, which he began taking submissions for last month. A new year, a new tattoo Artist conducts cover-up contest By April Jaynes ajaynes@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — When local tattoo artist Joshua LaBello, owner of Envy Ink Tattoo, implemented a “Bad Tattoo” cover-up contest for a chance to win a free tattoo, he didn’t expect the emotional submissions he received. That’s when he knew he wanted to take it a step further. LaBello, a self-taught artist with a history in comic book art and writing, recently hosted a scar cover-up contest, in which individuals submitted stories and photos of physical scars resulting from surgeries, accidents, self-harm, cancer interventions and other incidents in hopes of receiving a free tattoo to cover them up. The stories behind the scars and the reasons individuals wanted them covered were compelling and deeply personal — similar to the “Bad Tattoo” cover-up contest stories — LaBello said. Pictured is the finished product of the winner of LaBello’s “bad tattoo” cover-up contest, which was initially a tattoo of an ancient maze design. LaBello held the “Bad Tattoo” contest a few months ago and was inspired to conduct a scar-cover up tattoo contest after hearing unexpected, compelling personal stories behind the See CONTEST | 5A “bad tattoo” submissions.

COLUMBUS — Four people, all children, have died from the flu this season as hospitalizations for the illness continue to rise, the Ohio Health Department said Friday. Data released Friday shows 1,598 flu-related hospitalizations Dec. 28 through Jan. 4. That’s a 55 percent jump from a week earlier and brings the season total to 4,487. It’s also a huge increase from the same week a year ago, when the department reported just 833 flu hospitalizations. The figures were a little higher in 2012, with 1,922 hospitalizations, but still far below the current figures. Ohio’s east-central region had the most hospitalizations last week with 461, followed by 289 in the southwest and 279 in the northeast. Cuyahoga County, the state’s most populous county, accounts for more than one in five of every flu hospitalization this season with 1,028, followed by Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati, with 427, and Franklin County, home to Columbus, with 395. The state reported two new flu deaths: a 4-month-old boy in Cincinnati — the date wasn’t yet available — and a 2-year-old girl in Allen County on Dec. 27. Those followed the death of a 16-year-old boy in Licking County last month and a 15-year-old girl in Ironton in southern Ohio in November.

We Racine, Ohio THEIR VIEW Another attack on notion of free society Wednesday’s events in Paris are a horrifying reminder of the true nature of radical Islam; namely, that it is a belief system irreconcilable with the principles of a free society. Three gunmen stormed into the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine famous in France, and opened fire. As of this writing, a dozen victims are dead, and several others are injured. Footage aired on French television showed the assailants boasting, “We have avenged Prophet Muhammad. We have killed Charlie Hebdo.” The magazine was almost certainly targeted because of its history of printing caricatures of Muhammad that many Muslims found offensive. This is far from the first time that perceived offenses against Islam have spurred violent reprisals. In 2004, the Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam after making a film critical of the faith. Islamists threatened similar violence against the creators of the television show “South Park” in 2010 for portraying Muhammad on the program. Their message is consistent: If you value your life, criticizing our faith is off-limits. In an age of heightened sensitivity, it’s no surprise that aggrieved Muslims find sympathy from some Western elites. Whether the underlying material is truly offensive, however, is immaterial. Participation in a liberal society means taking your lumps when you’re criticized. It’s perfectly fine to be outraged. It’s never justifiable to turn to violence. Freedom of speech and of the press cannot endure if the threat of revenge is sufficient to impose self-censorship. That was our position when a group of hackers attempted to stymie release of the film “The Interview,” and it is our position now that Islamists are trying to use the specter of murder to deter any slights against their faith. No society can remain free if it consistently genuflects to its loudest, most-violent critics. Already, some media outlets are censoring the Charlie Hebdo cartoons in a capitulation to the terrorists’ demands. That’s misguided. Before the attacks, there was a plausible argument to be made that the illustrations were in questionable taste and did not deserve any public amplification. Now, however, they’re an essential part of this tragic story. The murderers ought not to be able to dictate the terms on which their crimes are discussed in the media. For whatever missteps the media may be making, everyday people seem to understand the stakes with much greater clarity. As night fell Wednesday in Paris, crowds gathered in the streets under the rallying cry “Je Suis Charlie” — “I am Charlie.” We are, too. And so are all those who believe that a free society is worth defending — and that its attackers are worth defeating. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register.

THEIR VIEW Motivation from an unlikely source By Daris Howard For Ohio Valley Publishing I started out the year well, determined to lose weight. I worked out every morning for quite a while, and barely saw the weight drop, though I could tell I was putting on more muscle. Then, as usually happens, there came a week when I was burning the candle at both ends, and trying to squeeze out one more minute for exercise was absolutely impossible. After having missed one week, it was easier to exercise fewer days the next week, and fewer the next, and soon I had given up altogether. Every once in a while I would give a halfhearted try at restarting, but it never lasted. And then came Christmas time. With all of the candies, cookies, and cakes, I watched my weight start to climb again. The calves that we raise can gain a couple of pounds per day, and I told my wife that I could best them any day of the week. It was also during this holiday season that I made the determination to visit people I hadn’t seen in some time. One couple, the Masters, had lived in our community for many years. When they did, I had visited them quite often. But I hadn’t seen them for over a year because they had moved into an assisted living center. I drove the 20 miles to town through the falling snow. I went inside the living center and found the main hall packed with at least a hundred people. Probably every resident was there, and most of them had family visiting. I decided that I would just say a brief hello to the Masters and come back another day. I asked the young lady at the information desk if she knew where they were. She pointed to a small table in the center of the room. Mr. and Mrs. Masters were sitting alone playing checkers. As I turned toward them, the young lady called after me. “There are a couple of things you will want to know. Mr. Masters is nearly blind, and he is almost totally deaf, so you will have to speak loudly.” I thanked her and made my way over to their table. “Hi,” I said to them. “Do you remember me?” “What?” Mr. Masters said in a voice that echoed across the room, causing everyone else in the hall to grow quiet. “It’s me, Daris Howard,” I shouted at the same volume, feeling embarrassed as everyone turned to look at me. “So how’s life?” “My wife is right there,” Mr. Masters said, pointing across the table. People around the room started to giggle as I yelled louder. “So, do you like living here?” “No, thanks,” Mr. Masters said. “We don’t drink beer. But you can if you want to.” I don’t drink alcohol, but I decided it wasn’t worth belaboring the point, so I tried another subject. “So, do they have good food?” I yelled. “Of course I’m in a good mood,” Mr. Masters yelled back. “It’s Christmas time.” I decided to give it one more try. As loud as I could, I asked, “So how’s life treating you?” “Well of course not,” Mr. Masters said, indignantly. “What ever gave you the idea that my wife was beating me. I never lose at checkers.” I just shook my head and sighed. “Happy holidays,” I said, as I turned to leave. I had only gone about 10 feet when I heard Mr. Masters yell to his wife, “Who did he say he was?” “That’s Daris Howard,” she yelled back. He must have been used to her voice tone because he immediately understood. He shook his head. “You’ve got to be kidding!” he yelled. “Wow! He has gotten fat! It must be all of the beer he’s drinking.” As everyone in the hall burst into laughter, I hurried outside to my car with a renewed dedication to restart my exercise program.

There are 354 days left in the year.

In 1942, Japan declared war against the Netherlands, the same day that Imperial Japanese forces invaded the Dutch East Indies. In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued “Smoking and Health,” a report which concluded that “cigarette smoking contributes substantially to mortality from certain specific diseases and to the overall death rate.” In 1965, the Beach Boys recorded their version of “Do You Wanna Dance?” by Bobby Freeman at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood. In 1977, France set off an international uproar by releasing Abu Daoud, a PLO official behind the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

About 45 percent of Ohioans got flu vaccinations last flu season, not enough to create what health officials refer to as “herd immunity,” or enough vaccinations to protect though who haven’t been vaccinated, Dershem said. That percentage would be around 80 percent, she said. Several hospitals around Ohio have asked people with flu symptoms to stay away to avoid sickening patients and staff.

We pressured ourselves and didn’t handle it very well, so that’s something we need to work on.” The Lady Tornadoes were led by Faith Teaford with 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Jansen Wolfe with 11 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks.

Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams of Texas and Oklahoma linebacker Brian Bosworth were also selected to the latest Hall of Fame class of 15 players and two coaches announced Friday by the National Football Foundation. Tressel was nominated by Youngstown State, where he won four Division I-AA national titles and is now the president of the university. His greatest fame, however, came at Ohio State, where he was 106-22 in 10 seasons, including a national championship in 2002. Twelve victories from the 2010 season were vacated by the NCAA because of rules violations by Tressel and Ohio State players. He was forced to resign after the 2010 season after he withheld information from the school and NCAA about possible violations by some of his players, who traded memora- bilia and equipment for tattoos. The NCAA imposed a five-year show cause order on Tressel that would open up a school to possible sanctions if it hired him as a coach. That order ends September 2016. “I am forever indebted to the outstanding student-athletes and coaches that have made this moment possible,” Tressel said in a statement released through Youngstown State, where he is now the university president. Tressel’s father, who went 155-52-6 at Baldwin-Wallace from 1958-73, was inducted in 1996 “To join the same hall of fame that my father, Dr. Lee J. Tressel, is already a member, is so, so meaningful,” Tressel said. Tressel also coached 15 seasons at Youngstown State, winning four Division I-AA national titles. He is the only coach to win national championship at both levels of Division I. He was named president of Youngstown State on May 9, 2014. Snyder orchestrated one of the greatest turnarounds in col- lege football history at Kansas State, which had lost more football games than any program when he took over in 1989. He turned the Wildcats into a Big 12 power and a national title contender with seven double-digit victory seasons in a span of nine years. He retired after the 2005 season, but returned in 2009 and has not had a losing season since. In 23 seasons with Kansas State, Snyder is 187-94-1. He was eligible for induction while still active because he turned 75 last year. Kansas State finished 9-4 this season, wrapping up with 40-35 Alamo Bowl loss to UCLA. “I’m awfully grateful that the voting took place before the bowl game,” Snyder said, humbly. Williams won the Heisman in 1998 and left Texas as the leading career rusher in FBS with 6,279 yards. He currently ranks second behind Wisconsin’s Ron Dayne. Bosworth was a two-time Butkus Award winner (1985 and 1986) as the nation’s best linebacker, helping the Sooners win three straight Big Eight titles and the 1985 national title. At a news conference Friday with Snyder and fellow inductees Lincoln Kennedy of Washington and Bob Breunig of Arizona State, Bosworth said he was overwhelmed when he found out he had been elected. “The honor itself to be inducted into the great Hall of Fame for college football, to be included into a fraternity that shows the players, all the years that they played, the passion that the played, it took my breath away,” Bosworth said. Bosworth was also one of the most controversial characters in college football history. He billed himself as The Boz, wore his hair in Mohawk style and was an outspoken critic of the NCAA. He was suspended from what would have been his last college game — the 1987 Orange Bowl — for failing a test for performance-enhancing drugs. Standing on the sideline during that game against Arkansas in Miami, Bosworth wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “National Communists Against Athletes.” He later co-authored a tell-all book that accused Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer of running a program plagued by drug use and misbehavior by players. The other players selected by the NFF to the Hall of Fame were: — Nebraska linebacker Trev Alberts — Millsaps defensive end Sean Brewer from Division III — Pittsburgh offensive tackle Ruben Brown — Florida split end Wes Chandler — Notre Dame split end Thom Gatewood — Yale running back Dick Jauron — Michigan state halfback Clinton Jones — Michigan running back Rob Lytle — Marshall quarterback Michael Payton — Texas Tech linebacker Zach Thomas — Kentucky defensive lineman Art Still The last Hall of Fame class will be inducted Dec. 8 at the NFF’s awards dinner in New York. Adolphus Washington gears up to face former teammate By Jim Naveau jnaveau@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — When Ohio State defensive lineman Adolphus Washington and Oregon wide receiver Dwayne Stanford were teammates at Cincinnati Taft High School, they repeatedly expressed a desire to continue playing together in college. That talk of a package deal struck fear into the hearts of some people who followed Ohio State recruiting because they worried the address on that package might be Eugene, Oregon, not Columbus. But Washington says there was nothing to worry about. He knew all along he was going to Ohio State, even when Stanford took a last-minute visit to Oregon and BEGINNING SATURDAY JANUARY 10, 2015 RIVERVALLEY HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER 3"7&/4800% �87�r������������� & COPLIN MEMORIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER &-*;"#&5) �87�r������������� 4"563%":�)0634���".�m������1.�r�&7&3:�4"563%":� NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY WIRT COUNTY HEALTH SERVICES ASSOCIATION decided it was the place for him. “A week before we were going to commit, Oregon came to our practice every day that week. He (Oregon wide receivers coach Scott Frost )was talking to me and Dwayne every day. He asked if we wanted to take a visit. I told him, ‘No thank you, I’m fine.’ Dwayne was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll go.’ He just kept trying to get me to go. I didn’t want to cloud my mind. I already knew what I was going to do,” Washington said as he and Ohio State prepared to go against Oregon in Monday night’s national championship game. “I said, ‘’Naw, I’m good.’ I knew where I wanted to go. I talked to (Dwayne) the whole time 60557354 Let’s Talk About he was at his visit. That Sunday morning he flew back I knew that’s where he was going. He said he loved it out there. He had a ball.” Washington and Stanford announced their verbal commitments in November of 2011. When Urban Meyer was hired, he tried to get Stanford to join Washington at OSU but the wide receivers decided to stay with Oregon. Washington, a junior, is one of the reasons OSU’s defensive line is in the conversation as one of the best in the country. He has 9.5 tackles for losses, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Stanford, a redshirt sophomore, is Oregon’s No. 3 receiver with 39 catches for 578 yards and 6 touchdowns. They played football at Taft for former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Mike Martin and were part of a dominating basketball team that won the Division III state championship in 2011 with a 26-1 record. The two became friends even before they got to Taft and continue to be close, even from 2,500 miles apart. Their friendship dates back to the fourth grade in AAU basketball. “We played AAU and used to do a lot of traveling together. We were with each other 365 days a year,” Washington said. “We talk every day. Every day,” he said. “He actually texted me dur- Don Speck | Civitas Media Ohio State’s Adolphus Washington (92) and Joey Bosa (97) sack Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner during a Nov. 29 game. ing the (Alabama) game. When I looked at the message, it was from like 45 minutes (earlier). Every game he texts me during the game to let me know what I’m doing and what I’m not doing. The last message I got from him was, ‘See you in Dallas.’ ” Washington says he was disappointed he couldn’t get Stanford into scarlet and gray. “It was a disappointment for me, but at the same time I was happy for him. At the end of the day, he had to make his own decision and that’s what he chose to go with. No hard feelings. I still love him. Basically he is my brother,” he said. “If it wasn’t for the Oregon coach coming to that practice, he would have been here, I’m telling you that. When we came on our visit (to Ohio State), we both loved it. We both said we wanted to come here. Once that Oregon coach came, it was pretty much over.” But friendship only goes so far with a national championship on the line. Asked if he would be hesitant to hit Stanford, Washington said, “No, because that’s what I want to do. It’s exactly what I want to do.” Contact Jim Naveau at 419993-2087 or on Twitter at @ Lima_Naveau.

The South Gallia girls basketball team stormed out to an early 13-0 advantage and led all but 1:56 of regulation, but visiting Trimble ultimately rallied back to claim a 35-33 victory Thursday night in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The Lady Rebels (3-9, 1-7 TVC Hocking) never trailed in the opening half after hitting five of their first seven shots en route to a 13-0 edge with 2:47 remaining in the first canto. The Lady Tomcats — who missed their first seven shot attempts while committing four turnovers before scoring — finally broke into the scoring column after Sydney Hardy drained a trifecta with 1:07 left, making it a 13-3 contest after eight minutes of play. THS (3-9, 3-5) started the second canto with consecutive trifectas by Hardy and Morgan Azbell to close to within 13-9 at the 6:20 mark, but the hosts answered with a small 6-5 run the rest of the way to claim a 19-14 advantage at the break. SGHS owned a 16-8 edge in rebounding at the half, but Trimble had a 6-4 lead on the offensive glass. The Lady Rebels also committed 10 of the 16 turnovers made in the opening 16 minutes of play. The Lady Tomcats claimed their first lead of the night with 6:20 remaining in the third after back-to-back threepointers by Hardy made it a 20-19 contest, but Mikayla Poling followed with an old-fashioned three-pointer at the 6:03 mark — which sparked an 8-3 run that gave the hosts a 27-23 edge headed into the finale.

Spears followed by sinking two more freebies with 1:33 remaining for a 30-29 edge, and THS never trailed again. The Lady Tomcats claimed their biggest lead at 34-30 with 10.1 seconds left, but Poling drilled a trifecta from the top of the key with five seconds left to close to within 34-33. Spears made 1-of-2 free throws with 3.5 seconds remaining, then SGHS advanced the ball to midcourt and called timeout with 1.3 ticks left in regulation. The ball ended up being inbounded to Carrie Watson at the top of the perimeter, but her desperation shot at the buzzer was blocked by Kymberly Williams — allowing THS to complete the comeback while also snapping the Lady Rebels’ two-game winning streak.

Advertiser Contact Publication Run Date Tudor’s Biscuit World Leah Towler 304.722.3511 x248 Point Pleasant Register — 5.02” x 6” Sat 1/10 Who’s Ohio State’s MVP? Probably not who you think gibles which make him invaluable. After all, he’s only the Buckeyes’ ninth-leading receiver with 15 catches, 11th-leading rusher with a single carry for nine yards and tied for 10th (with Dontre Wilson, who broke his foot and missed the last seven games) in scoring with three touchdowns. “There’s a lot of things I can do on the football field,” said Spencer, the son of a former Ohio State captain, standout running back Tim Spencer, now an assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “I just try to do everything I can when I’m out there, whether it’s block or throw something or catch something, I try to do it to the best of my ability. I guess the best of my ability is sometimes kind of cool.” Spencer proved his importance in the Buckeyes’ 42-35 Sugar Bowl win over Alabama. If he didn’t do what he did on three plays, Ohio State might well be home stewing over what might have been instead of gearing up for the biggest game in college football. With just 12 seconds left in the half and the Buckeyes trailing 14-13, Spencer took a pitch, pulled up and fired a perfect spiral into the end zone where Michael Thomas made a leaping catch while barely planting one foot inbounds for the touchdown. Alabama had pinned the Buckeyes at their own 15 and the tide, literally, had turned with 3:24 left in the game. Clinging to a 34-28 lead, Ohio State was struggling to just make a first down. Then Elliott took a pitch around left end and turned the corner just as Spencer wiped out two prospective tacklers with a crunching block. The 85-yard touchdown run allowed the Buckeyes, back on their heels, to regain their footing. “He took two guys out and there’s not one person in this facility that’s shocked that he did that,” Meyer said. Then, after Alabama scored with just under 2 minutes left to pull within a touchdown, Spencer leaped high to snag the onside kick and control it. That virtually booked Ohio State’s ticket for the first CFP title game. Others might be surprised with the esteem showered on Spencer. But not his teammates. “You turn on the film and he doesn’t get targeted a ton (on passes), doesn’t have the most touchdowns on the team, most receptions, most yards or whatever,” said linebacker Joshua Perry. “But (he makes) great special teams plays, clutch plays when we need them, great leadership, selfless player. When you have a guy as talented as him who does all those things even though he’s not getting the stats that he wants, that’s why he’s the MVP.” Open until 7PM at our Mason location. 1 Hot Dog Combo 1 Hot Dog topped the way you like, served with fries and a regular drink. 4 $ 00 Not valid with other offers, coupons or discounts.

It’s got to be quarterback-sacker Joey Bosa, right? Or maybe leading rusher Ezekiel Elliott, who’s collected more than 1,600 yards in a breakout season? Or even a quarterback, maybe J.T. Barrett, who led the charge all season before getting hurt, or Cardale Jones, who’s pulled a Lou Gehrig since taking over the last two games? Yet coach Urban Meyer’s choice isn’t among the top six on the team in any major statistic. Give up? According to Meyer, there’s no question that the most important Buckeye heading into Monday night’s national championship game against Oregon is senior guiding light Evan Spencer. “He’s the MVP of our team,” Meyer said earlier this week, allowing no wiggle room for anyone else. “He’s the leader of our team. He’s the guy that, at the right time, I’ll probably make an executive decision and make him a captain.” He does not have numbers that’ll wow opponents or impress pro scouts.

So over the past 10 years or so, I have been reading about or listening to accounts of black vultures here in Ohio, but hadn’t actually seen any (until the past two years), and wondered if I would be able to differentiate between them and our familiar turkey vultures. All I can say is that when you see them, you’ll know. Particularly if that experience involves seeing literally hundreds of them flocking the hillsides, roof tops and trees of a small, Ohio River village – which I will get back to in a moment. The black vulture, to bring you up to speed, is not necessarily an invasive species. It is native to North America but we are at the northern end of its range, which seems to have been expanding somewhat over the past 50 years or so. In that respect, it is more like the coyote (or the armadillo, which we may see around here in the next 20 years or so – remember you read it here first). The black vulture, like the familiar turkey vulture, is a large bird. The turkey vulture is a little larger, but not so much that it is obvious to the casual observer. The black vulture is black or mostly black, while the turkey vulture is actually more of a dark brown. In flight the black vulture has shorter wings, white wingtips, and a smaller, abbreviated tail. Up close is where the difference is obvious; the black vulture has a black or dark gray head and dark beak, while the turkey vulture has the familiar red head and yellowish beak. Lately the Union Avenue neighborhood in Pomeroy has been covered with hundreds of roosting black vultures, roosting in the trees and along the tops of roofs, resulting in more than a few phone calls and complaints. Last weekend Ohio Wildlife Officer Chris Gilkey and I spent an hour or so checking out the scene and even fired a few noise-making “shell crackers” to disperse them temporarily. Residents actually have a reason to be concerned, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service. Large groups of vultures (both turkey and black) may roost or occupy woodlots near people’s homes, damaging homes and commercial buildings by tearing window caulking, roof shingles, vent seals, rubber roof liners, and pool covers. They can even damage vehicles by scratching paint, removing rubber seals and wipers, and ripping vinyl covers and tops. Vultures can also create health and safety concerns due to accumulations of feces and regurgitations on house roofs and office buildings, while the smell is also offensive. Black vultures are also known to be predatory in nature. It’s like they are saying, “To heck with waiting for something to die, let’s go kill something!” They may attack and kill calves, lambs, piglets and other weak animals, but that is another concern. Although they aren’t considered migratory, they may go for short distances in cold weather near the northern end of their range. Hopefully the cold weather of the past few days encouraged them to move to warmer climes. All vultures are protected under federal migratory bird laws, so you can’t kill or harm them, but neighbors can still mobilize and harass them where they roost, eventually making them decide to go somewhere more peaceful. Tactics involve using noisemakers, harassing them with lasers and spotlights at dusk, and installing physical barriers (monofilament lines along roof ridges) to discourage them from roosting. In some cases permits can be issued to kill one or more, and the bodies hung up or displayed in effigy to frighten other vultures. Despite the nuisance that they cause, it is important to remember that these scavengers occupy an important niche in our ecosystem and provide a valuable service. It is just that sometimes we want them to occupy it elsewhere. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

OVCS tames Wildcats, 78-42 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ASHTON, W.Va. — Thorough, from start to finish. The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team shot 56 percent from the field and had all 10 players reach the scoring column Friday night during a 78-42 victory over host Hannan in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. The visiting Defenders (12-1) trailed only 20 seconds in the contest and hit 10 of its first 14 shot attempts en route to a 27-7 advantage a little over a minute into the second quarter. The Wildcats (2-7) were never closer than 13 points the rest of the way, allowing OVCS to secure its sixth straight victory with the 36-point decision. HHS — which has now lost two straight — claimed its only lead of the night following a trifecta from Tyler Burns at the 5:54 mark of the opening period, which gave the Wildcats a 3-2 edge. Ohio Valley Christian followed with nine straight points as part of a 19-4 charge, which allowed the guests to secure a 21-7 cushion after eight minutes of play. OVCS — which went more than nine minutes without a turnover to start the game — opened the second stanza with a 6-0 run for a 20-point lead with 6:50 remaining, but the Wildcats countered with a 7-0 surge to close to within 27-14 with 4:44 left in the half. The Defenders, however, capped a 10-0 run at the 2:52 mark after Austin Ragan gave the guests their largest lead of the first half at 37-14. Hannan closed the second period on a small 6-4 spurt to enter halftime trailing 41-20. Ohio Valley Christian made 14-of-24 field goal attempts and had seven turnovers in the first half, compared to 10 giveaways and a 7-of-26 effort from the floor for HHS. The guests also owned a slim 15-14 rebounding advantage, but Hannan did claim an 8-4 edge on the offensive glass before the break. The Wildcats were never closer than their 21-point intermission deficit in the second half, and the Defenders started the third with a 15-7 run to take their largest lead of the period at 56-27 with 2:20 remaining. Hannan closed the third period on a 5-2 run to pull to within 58-32 headed into the finale. The hosts made a 5-2 run to close back to within 23 points (60-37) with 6:39 left, but OVCS closed regulation with an 18-5 surge to wrap up the 36-point outcome — which ultimately proved to be the largest lead of the night. Ohio Valley Christian connected on 30-of-54 field goal attempts overall, including a 4-of-9 effort from three-point range for 44 percent. The guests also committed 13 turnovers in the win, compared to 15 miscues by HHS. Austin Ragan led the Defenders with a gamehigh 19 points, followed by Marshall Hood with 15 points and a game-best 10 OVCS senior Evan Bowman (11) dribbles down the lane during the first half of Friday night’s boys basketball contest against Hannan in Ashton, W.Va. rebounds. Evan Bowman was next with nine points, while Justin Beaver and Zach Long respectively added eight and seven markers to the winning cause. Dillon Ragan chipped in six points and Elijah McDonald had five markers, followed by Danny Ballantyne and Josh McDonald with four and three points. Michael Gruber also had two points to wrap up the scoring for OVCS, which went 14-of17 at the free throw line for 82 percent. The Wildcats sank 16-of-69 shot attempts for 23 percent, including an 8-of-38 effort from behind the arc for 21 percent. The hosts outrebounded OVCS by a 34-33 overall margin, which included a 17-4 edge on the offensive glass. Corey Hudnall and Tyler Burns both paced HHS with 14 points apiece, followed by Jared Lunsford and Charles Mayes with six and four markers respectively. Lunsford paced the hosts with eight rebounds and Hudnall also hauled in seven caroms. Malachi Kade and Josh McCoy rounded out the Wildcat tally with two points apiece. Hannan was 2-of-5 at the charity stripe for 40 percent. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

Ducks still favored, now by only 6, over Buckeyes DALLAS (AP) — Oregon, first listed as a 7-point favorite over Ohio State by the Glantz-Culver line in Monday’s national championship game, is now favored by just 6 points. The Ducks (13-1) and Buckeyes (13-1) meet in AT&T Stadium in the inaugural College Football Playoff title game. Led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota, high-scoring Oregon was the higher rated team at No. 2 when the four playoff teams were announced on Dec. 7. The Buckeyes, who have relied on third-string quarterback Cardale Jones due to injuries, were No. 4. But they upended top-ranked Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl. Oregon was established as a 7-point favorite largely off its 59-20 dismantling of unbeaten defending national champion Florida State in the Rose Bowl. Blue Jackets extend goalie Bobrovsky for 4 more years COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets signed goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to a four-year, $29.7 million contract extension through the 2018-19 season. The 26-year-old Bobrovsky, the 2013 Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL’s top goalie, has a record of 68-41-13 with a 2.34 goals-against average, .924 save percentage and 10 shutouts in 123 games since being acquired from Philadelphia for second- and thirdround picks in the 2012 draft and a fourth-round pick in 2013. “We believe he’s only going to improve,” Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said before the team’s game against Toronto on Friday night. “Obviously, it’s ultimately it’s up to the player to prove that he’s worth the contract that he gets. That’s the way we operate, we operate on giving them the futures and that’s how we evaluate these players every day, but we believe with his hard work and dedication he’s going to be one of the top goalies in this league for a long time.” Bobrovsky, who is 15-10-2 with a 2.75 goals-against average, .917 save percentage and one shutout in 27 games this season, is seen as a cornerstone of the franchise. ”Bob is a great example of a guy that really puts in the work every day: how he prepares for practice, how he prepares for every game,” Kekalainen said. “He’s a good example in the locker room and off the ice and on the ice the way he is as a professional. That’s the type of leader we want on our team and that’s why we’ve locked up all these core players.” Tomcats assists, nine steals, four blocks, 18 turnovers and 10 fouls.

The workshop will be noon to 2 p.m. Jan. 20 at the Mason County Courthouse Annex, located at 525 Viand St., Point Pleasant, and is open to any registered nonprofit that is interested in learning more about United Way of the River Cities’ grant-funding process. United Way is a nonprofit organization that supports programs and strategies that address critical issues in the areas of education, income, health and Safety-Net Services via fundraising, grant writing and partnerships, according to the agency’s website. Director of Community Impact Andrea Roy said the agency is making an effort to hold more workshops in community locations, and that the workshops serve to give attendees an overview of the application process, provide grant writing tips and answer any questions that organization’s may have. “We’re going to go through the application. We’ll give people tips to write a competitive grant proposal, answer any questions and make sure that people are completely clear on the kind of supporting information that they need to submit with their application,” she said. Potential applicants must provide services in one or more of United Way’s service area of Cabell, Wayne, Lincoln and Mason counties in West Virginia, and Lawrence County, Ohio, and the letter of intent process will open Jan. 26 and end Feb. 23. This year, United Way is only accepting applications for Safety-Net Services, which Roy said are for organizations that provide services such as emergency shelter, food and clothing pantries, baby pantries, prescription medication assistance, utilities assistance or other basic needs. “The organization itself doesn’t have to do only Safety-Net type work, but they do need to have a program that helps people with basic needs and kind of emerges in crisis situations,” she said. Roy said that next year United Way will take applications for both Safety-Net Services and Impact grants, which are for more long-term programs. “Our other grant process, Impact grants, are for programs that are designed to address some of the critical needs that we’re trying to work on in the community, and because they’re typically more complex with a more complicated outcome, we decided a couple years ago to move those to a two-year funding cycle so organizations would have a greater time-line to demonstrate the impact that they’re program is having,” she said. “(For instance,) if there’s a clothing bank that’s giving out clothing, their outcome is going to be that they clothed 50 people — whereas some of the impact programs are more long-term, like youth mentoring.” Registration for the workshop is required. Individuals interested in attending the Mason County applicant workshop, or individuals who would like further information about another information session, can contact Andrea Roy at andrea.roy@unitedwayrivercities or (304) 523-8929 ext. 107.

Submitted photo Gary Coleman, from left, and Margaret Parker hold a canvas recently raffled off by the museum, while Jordan Pickens holds an account ledger of the Pomeroy Organ Company that was recently donated to the museum. Historical Society receives artifacts Staff report POMEROY — The Meigs County Historical Society was recently given several different items of local history: two display cases and an account ledger from the Pomeroy Organ Company. The display cases were donated by Fred and Catina Werry of Unique Antiques. “With these display cases, we will be able to have more of our great local history items on display at the Foster-Jenkinson Cabin at the Meigs County Fair this coming August,” Jordan Pickens, a Historical Society trustee, said. Rodney Pullins also donated an account ledger from the Pomeroy Organ Company. “The earliest entry in the accounts ledger dates to 1903 and continues into the 1930s,” Pickens said. “The Pomeroy Organ Company went out of business due to the 1913 flood and all of the records that we know of were lost in the flood, so there is some investigating into the ledger to be done.” Recently, the museum has begun its annual membership drive. A contest was done, and whoever renewed their membership or became a new member would be entered into a drawing of a panoramic canvas of Pomeroy. The canvas was donated by Gary Coleman of Coleman Photography. Coleman is the treasurer of the Historical Society. The winner of the canvass was Gayann Clay of Chester. “We had anywhere from 125 to 150 entries so far this year” Coleman said. It isn’t too late to become a member, an individual membership is $15, a family membership is $25, a business membership is $100 and a lifetime membership is $200. Becoming a member gives you access to the Meigs County Museum, the quarterly newsletter, ‘Meigs Historian,’ voting in selecting trustees as well as a chance to become a trustee. Membership lasts until Dec. 31, 2015. “Members do not have to be residents of Meigs County,” Pickens said. “We have members all over the state and all over the country.” The Meigs County Historical Society is a nonprofit and exists to further historical education in Meigs County. To this end, it maintains a museum for collecting, preserving and interpreting archival materials and artifacts indigenous to Meigs Count, encourages histor- ical research, issues publications, sponsors displays, symposia and special events, is concerned with the preservation of historical buildings and sites and raises such funds needed to carry on the day-to-day operations and purposes of the society. The museum also offers Meigs County family research. Research requests must be mailed to Meigs County Historical Society, P.O. Box 145, Pomeroy, OH 45769.

Bill Johnson announces service nominations MARIETTA — U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson announced U.S. Service Academy nominations from Ohio’s 6th Congressional District. From Gallia County, Katherine Mares of River Valley High School, was nominated by Johnson for the U.S. Air Force Academy, while Gallia Academy High School’s Stephen Wilson was nominated by the congressman for the United States Military Academy. Bryon Lord, of Jackson High School, was nominated for the U.S. Air Force Academy. “I am pleased to announce the nomination of 15 outstanding young Ohioans to one of the United States service academies as members of the Class of 2019,” Johnson said. “As with the students I have interviewed in past years, this group left me with a great deal of confidence and optimism in the future of our military leadership. I am confident these nominees will represent their families, communities, schools, and Ohio with both honor and distinction. I wish all of these young men and women the best as they continue through the final stages of the appointment process, and if accepted by the service academy of their choice, they will receive a top-quality education and be prepared for successful careers as military officers and beyond.” Johnson was assisted in the nomination process by a five member, non-partisan, volunteer 6th Congressional District Service Academy Nomination Board. The board conducted interviews with applicants in November at Zane State College in Cambridge. After applications and test scores were reviewed by Johnson and the entire board, 15 students from eastern and southeastern Ohio were recommended for nomination. The applicants still must meet the requirements of each individual service academy. Each academy will make the final decision on who receives an appointment of admission for fall 2015. Johnson entered the U.S. Air Force in 1973 and retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1999 after a distinguished military career of more than 26 years. At the same time that BWC is supporting a healthy Ohio economy, we know that improving the system involves much more than dollar savings for employers. Ohio workers deserve safe workplaces and a strong, helping hand when onthe-job injuries do occur. That’s why we designated 2014 the year of safety, and got busy strengthening our commitment to safe workplaces and helping employers prevent costly accidents. First, we extended the tripling of our popular Safety Intervention Grant Program — for a total of $15 million per year — for an additional two years as part of Another Billion Back. Second, BWC is leading the way in workplace safety with several new and innovative safety initiatives also included in the Another Billion Back plan. These include a number of new programs that will ultimately enhance the safety, health and wellness of Ohio’s workforce including the expansion of the Safety Council Program to incorporate health and wellness and additional training for firefighters to improve their safety, preparedness and response time during emergencies. While these new initiatives and all of our safety services are helping employers prevent costly accidents and have played a significant role in reducing new claims, BWC understands on the job injuries do happen and we are a partner in helping Ohio workers recover so they can return to their families and communities. In 2014, we convened a landmark Health Care Summit with stakeholders from all areas to begin meaningful discussions about a more injured worker-focused approach to workers’ compensation care. Participants at the week-long summit included labor and attorney reps, employers, providers, managed care organizations and BWC executives. The insights of all involved were crucial to establishing a plan for improving care. We’ll continue this conversation in the coming year, and work to implement suggestions to improve quality and better coordinate care for claimants at risk of poor outcomes. We anticipate 2015 will be equally eventful and challenging as last year. Looking forward, BWC is changing the way we conduct business with Ohio employers. We’ve been working on our move to prospective billing and those efforts will be evident in the year to come. Changing the way we’ve done business after more than a century in operation is a challenging yet exciting opportunity. This step forward will provide a number of benefits to our customers, including further premium reductions and more flexible payment options for employers, as well as reduced fraud. The move also includes $1.2 billion in transition credits to Ohio employers to help ease the conversion to prospective billing. On the care side, our “year of safety” did not end on Dec. 31; safe workplaces are at the very heart of BWC’s mission, and will remain an ongoing priority. Quality care and supporting the health of Ohio’s workforce will also continue at the forefront of our work at BWC. I’m eager to welcome the new year and build upon our successes in moving the system forward.

Although they had no second thoughts, the couples’ toes were chilly as they gathered with a hundred of their closest friends and family members at the South Charleston Memorial Ice Arena to join in holy matrimony. It was an end-of-the-year celebration unlike any other. “We originally thought about getting married in a church and doing a reception in Huntington,” said Donahoe, 20. But those plans changed after Rappold, 26, jokingly suggested they get married on ice. Donahoe originally laughed at the idea, Rappold said prior to the ceremony, as he overlooked the rink that had been converted into a provisional wedding hall. When guests arrived at the arena, they discovered half of the ice covered with mats that weren’t quite thick enough to fend off the chill from the frozen surface below their feet, dressed up aluminum chairs and music playing on a system normally used for calling out hockey players’ names.

A relative of Donahoe, who served as their wedding planner, was tasked with figuring out the logistics of using half an ice rink as both the wedding site and reception hall. Rappold asked a college friend to sit in the announcer’s booth — in between penalty boxes — and DJ the evening. The couple first met four years ago when Rappold’s mother, Heidi, suggested they become skating partners. Heidi Rappold had been Donahoe’s figure skating coach since she was very young. Although he was fearful of what his hockey friends might say, Rappold gave it a try. What began as a pair skating partnership blossomed into a relationship that was centered around their love for the ice.
