Poultry show
ban lifted
By Gary Brock
gbrock@civitasmedia.com

REYNOLDSBURG — The order from the Ohio
Department of Agriculture banning all bird shows
in the state was lifted Thursday.
Put in place more than seven months ago by
Director David Daniels in reaction to the outbreak
across the United States of the Highly Pathogenic
Avian Inﬂuenza (avian ﬂu) that was killing poultry
by the millions, the order resulted in the cancellation
of all county fair poultry shows this past summer as
well as the Ohio State Fair poultry shows.
There were no reports of the avian ﬂu in Ohio
since the outbreak was ﬁrst reported on the West
Coast Dec. 19, 2014. The disease then spread
rapidly to Midwest states such as Iowa and
Wisconsin, and almost 50 million birds had to be
destroyed. In reaction, the state announced the
ban June 2.
The news was welcomed by OSU Extension
agents in the Ohio Valley, particularly in Meigs
and Gallia counties.
“We are excited to be able to have poultry again
at the 2016 Meigs County Fair. Our exhibitors and
supporters did an outstanding job dealing with
the challenges of the ban in 2015 and we hope that
they will continue to put what they have learned
about biosecurity and disease spread to good use
to help prevent issues from reoccurring,” Michelle
Stumbo, 4-H Youth Development Extension
Educator and director for Meigs County, said.
“We are still recommending that youth take a
non-poultry project in 2016 in case the ban would

Fire department receives donations
By Lorna Hart
lhart@civitasmedia.com

RACINE — Checks were presented to the Racine Volunteer Fire
Department on Tuesday during
their annual Christmas party. Food
and drinks for the party were provided by Bethany Sonshine Circle.
Racine Area Community Organization, the Sonshine Circle and
Star Mill Park Board donated
$200 each to the department. The
checks were presented by Katherine Hart, a member of the three
organizations.
Racine Mayor Scott Hill, also
a volunteer ﬁreﬁghter, spoke on
behalf of the ﬁreﬁghters when he
said they were appreciative of the
food and funds.
“’It’s a Wonderful Life’ in
Racine,” Hill said. “We appreciate
the generosity of these groups. We
are a volunteer organization and
without the support of the community we would have a very difﬁcult
time procuring the funds needed to
equip our department.”
He went on to say that not only
is the community supportive with
monetary donations, they receive
support in other areas as well, such
as the annual Halloween party held
at the station and Fourth of July
barbecue.
“Racine is a place where people

donate their time, as well as their
resources to community projects,”
he said. “We know how much the
community supports us, and as a
volunteer ﬁreﬁghter, it is good to
know.”
The donating bodies are active in
other aspects of the community’s
efforts to improve the area and the
people around them.
RACO has provided matching
funds for grants received by Racine
village that have added playground
equipment, a score board at the

RACINE — The Bethany United
Methodist Church Sonshine Circle is
wrapping up a busy year. Members met
in December with Kathryn Hart calling the group to order and reading,”
Reﬂected Light.”
The group has been working on their
noodle-making fundraiser, card mailings
and preparing “Necessity Baskets.”
One of the group’s popular projects are the annual Necessity Basket.
Instead of a gift exchange, members
donate items for the baskets, which
they then assembled. The baskets will
be delivered to area seniors in need,
providing them with necessities such
as paper towels, shampoo, detergents,
cleaners and hygiene items. Jackie
White and Kathy McDaniel will be
delivering the 30 baskets were prepared
by the Circle.
The secretary’s report was given by
secretary pro tem Marilyn Cooper, who
read a thank-you note from Rick Crow.
It was announced the Sonshine Circle
noodle crew made $900 proﬁt from
their recent production and sales.
A monthly donation was made to the
MCCOA. The Circle has sent 30 gray
t-shirts so far to the Chillicothe VA.
Hart offered to assist anyone in the
group that might be interested in taking
an angel from the Angel Tree at Overbrook Rehabilitation Center.
Greeting cards totaling almost 100
were purchased by Shirley Beegle. The
cards were signed and sent during the
meeting.
The Sonshine Circle discussed plans
to host a yard sale in February. A date
will be set at a later meeting.

right now, however, we
are planning to have an
outstanding Poultry Show
in 2016.”
Jeff Moore, Gallia
County’s agriculture and
natural resources educator,
agreed.
“We realize that, at
any point, if (the state
health department) starts
seeing cases again that the
shows will be banned,” he
said. “We look forward to
having (poultry shows)
back. A lot of kids like to
show their poultry.”
Along those lines, if
another outbreak develops,
the ban could be back in
place, cautioned Darke
County OSU Extension
Educator Sam Custer.
“The industry is just
so large here in Ohio, I
don’t think the state would
hesitate to put the ban in
place again if there was
another outbreak.”
On Nov. 18, the World
Organization for Animal
Health (known as the
OIE) issued its ﬁnal report
on the deadly avian ﬂu
outbreaks which declared
that the outbreaks in all
affected states are now
ﬁnal, closed, and resolved.
This now makes the
United States free of avian

being.
But Custer said Ohio
poultry producers and
exhibitors still need to take
precautions.
To that end, he and
Dr. Mohamed El-Gazzar,
Ohio State University
Extension’s poultry
veterinarian, will be
developing a bio-hazard
program with information
on detection and
prevention of avian ﬂu.
“I met with Dr.
El-Gazzar Tuesday night

the next couple of weeks,
making sure that people
are well aware of what they
need to do to protect their
birds,” Custer said.
“We don’t have an
outbreak currently, but
if you see something
suspicious, we will have
numbers available for
people to call immediately.
Our goal is to get
these (pamphlets and
recommendations) out to
any place where people
will be buying poultry —
poultry suppliers, feed
stores and so on — so
that not only junior fair
members but anyone
purchasing birds from
any supplier can have
access to the bio-security
information.”
Custer said he supports
the timing of the state
lifting the order Thursday.
“It is important for the
young people, the young
exhibitors wanting to
show their birds.” He said
many junior exhibitors
would now be starting the
process of showing their
poultry at the fairs next
year.
Moore concurred that
the timing of the news was
good for Ohio agricultural
groups, especially 4-H.
“The 4-H clubs are
starting to get active
again and the kids begin
selecting their projects
after Jan. 1,” he said. “This
was good timing.”
In lifting the ban
Thursday, Daniels
said it was originally

intended to remain in
place until April 2016.
In the announcement,
Daniels said that while
the intention is to allow
bird exhibitions to be held
next year, an outbreak in
Ohio or nearby states may
require the reinstatement
or even an extension of the
ban.
“I would like to extend
a sincere thank you to
OSU Extension and
the youth exhibitors
for their understanding
and to their advisers for
turning this unfortunate
outbreak into an important
educational moment.
As I traveled around
the state this summer,
I was overwhelmed
with the maturity
and understanding of
the disappointed but
supportive young people
I spoke with who were
unable to bring their
poultry projects to the fair.
It’s a real testament to the
strength and importance
our 4H and FFA programs
in Ohio,” said Daniels in
the news release.
Ohio is the second
largest egg producer in
the country and home to
28 million laying chickens,
12 million broilers, 8.5
million pullets and 2
million turkeys. Ohio’s
egg, chicken and turkey
farms create more than
14,600 jobs and contribute
$2.3 billion to the state’s
economy.

other fundraising ideas which will be
presented at January’s meeting.
Members are asked to bring food
items and gloves and winter hats to
January’s meeting for donation to the
Meigs Veterans Outreach Center.
The group will be donating $200.00
for refreshments to the Racine Fire
Department for their Christmas party.
“The Night Before Christmas, the
Soldier” and “Christmas Visitor” was
read by Hart and the group sang Silent
Night and Jingle Bells.
The door prizes for the evening were
won by Debbie Morris, Denise Holman,
Evelyn Foreman and Kathy McDaniel.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. in the church’s fellowship room. Members are to arrive at
6:30 p.m. for card signing.

Jesus still draws gaze of those who seek truth
The coming of Jesus was,
in more ways than one, an
invasion of radiance that still
shocks the cosmos with the
brilliance of inﬁnite, holy love.
Just as surely as a star lit the
night sky, irresistibly drawing
the gaze of those who sought
truth and led them to worship Jesus, His life and love
today draw the gaze of those
who even now crave and seek
truth. The love and holiness
that shone through His life
were beacons to a heart-hungry
people who had been locked
away from the mercies of God.
His mercy and fairness lit His
countenance so that when
people looked upon His face,
they beheld the luminance of
the Lord of light.
“Behold My servant, whom I
uphold, My Chosen, in Whom
My soul delights,” said the
Lord of His Son hundreds of

who had himself been counted

tells a man nothing about events

had been looking for a particular
type of star to fulﬁll a prophecy
about the divine king of the
Jews, then their behavior makes
good sense. This is admittedly a
matter of some speculation.
What is not speculation is the
prophecy of Micah, kept by the
Jews as sacred Scripture. This
prophecy was the guide responsible for leading the wise men
from Jerusalem to Bethlehem.
God pointedly told mankind
where His Son would be born,
and the Jews knew this prophecy and they shared it with the
wise men. For their part, the
wise men believed the word of
God, and so headed out in the
right direction.
God wanted men to ﬁnd His

Bulldogs
bite River
Valley, 72-37
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com

THE PLAINS — One skid is over,
the other continues on.
The River Valley and Athens boys
basketball teams faced off Tuesday
night in McAfee Gymnasium, both
entering play with lengthy losing
skids. It was the host Bulldogs, who
had lost four games in a row, that
emerged with the 72-37 victory, while
handing the Raiders their seventh
straight setback.
Athens (1-4, 1-2 TVC Ohio) outscored the Raiders (1-7, 0-3) 16-to-9
in the opening stanza, and the hosts
expanded the lead to 30-22 by halftime.
After the break the AHS offense
found its groove, scoring 22 points
in the third period and pushing the
advantage to 52-31 headed into the
fourth. River Valley was held to just
six points over the final eight minutes
as Athens cruised to a 72-37 victory.
RVHS junior Jacob Dovenbarger led
the Silver and Black with 11 points,
nine rebounds, three steals and four
blocks, while Dustin Barber and Jarrett McCarley scored eight and seven
points respectively. Mark Wray posted
four points, Kirk Morrow had three
points and a team-best two assists,
while Dayton Hardway and Wyatt
Newman rounded out the Raider scoring with two points apiece.
River Valley shot 6-of-10 (60 percent) from the free throw line and
14-of-56 (25 percent) from the field,
including 3-of-16 (18.8 percent) from
beyond the arc. As a team the Raiders marked 29 rebounds, five assists,
four steals, five blocks, 11 fouls and 17
turnovers.
Griffin Lutz led the Bulldogs with 33
points, 13 rebounds, five assists and
two blocks, while Dalton Cozart made
Athens’ only two trifectas and finished
with 12 points. Zacciah Saltzman and
Logan Maxfield both scored eight
points, Nick Lutz and Brody Ball each
added four, while Robert Dickelman
rounded out the AHS scoring with
three points.
The hosts were 8-of-10 (80 percent)
from the charity stripe, 31-of-63 (49.2
percent) from the field and 2-of-14
(14.3 percent) from three-point range.
As a team the Green and Gold had 44
rebounds, 14 assists, 11 steals, five
blocks, 15 fouls and 11 turnovers.
The Raiders will try to flip the script
on February 2, when Athens visits
Bidwell. River Valley will look to get
back on track Friday night when undefeated Meigs travels to Gallia County.

six Big Blacks.
PPHS, which ﬁnished 12-1, earned
two ﬁrst team selections on the offensive side of the ball, while landing
one defensive second team spot, two
special honorable mentions and one

yards and four touchdowns. The Big
Blacks senior also threw for 202 yards
and two scores this fall, while returning ﬁve punts for touchdowns. On

yards and 84 scores this fall.
Point Pleasant junior Grant Safford
earned a defensive utility spot after
recording 109 tackles and recovering
four fumbles. On offense Safford ran
for 1,584 yards and 21 scores on 156
carries, while grabbing four passes for
76 yards and one touchdown.
Point Pleasant’s two special honorable mention spots went to seniors
Tannor Hill and Cody McDaniel. Hill,
a defensive end on defense and tight
end on offense, recorded 69 tackles,
16.5 for a loss, 2.5 sacks, while blocking two punts and causing two turnovers. On offense Hill caught one pass
for a 20 yard touchdown. McDaniel, a
linebacker and running back, led the
PPHS defense with 145 tackles to go
with three interceptions. On offense
McDaniel, who was an honorable
mention selection last year, ran seven
times for 79 yards and two touchdowns, while catching ﬁve passes for
73 yards and one score.
Point Pleasant junior kicker Jason
Schultz was named honorable mention after making 89 extra point kicks
and three ﬁeld goals in 13 games for

guests, 39-14, in a torrid
fourth quarter uprising.
St. Catharine overcame
an early 11-4 deﬁcit
to take a 13-point second quarter lead and
stretched its cushion to
as many as 20 points,
68-48, following a threepointer by Cora Moore
with 2:47 remaining in
the third quarter.
Then the comeback
began.
Bonar scored six
points in a 9-1 Rio run to
close out the quarter and
pull the RedStorm within
69-57 heading to the
ﬁnal stanza.
The RedStorm kept
rolling with 14 of the
ﬁrst 15 points in the
fourth quarter and
grabbed a 71-70 lead

- their ﬁrst advantage
since a 19-18 edge with
9:49 remaining in the
ﬁrst half - following a
pair of free throws by
freshman Jaida Carter
(New Philadelphia, OH)
with 6:27 left in the
game.
The Patriots reeled off
ﬁve straight points to
regain a four-point cushion, but Rio responded
with 13 of the next 15
points and took the lead
for good, 78-77, on a
conventional three-point
play by Carter with 4:08
left.
St. Catharine got no
closer than four points
the rest of the way and
Rio’s largest lead was the
ﬁnal margin of victory.
The RedStorm, who
shot 60 percent from
the ﬂoor in the second

half (21-for-35), actually
sealed the win at the free
throw line, going 16-for18 at the charity stripe in
the ﬁnal quarter.
In addition to Bonar,
four other players
reached double ﬁgures in
the win for Rio.
Senior Harley Adler
(Burton, OH) had 18
points - including 14 in
the second half - to go
along with a team-high
seven rebounds and two
blocked shots. Carter
scored 17 points - including 13 after the intermission, junior Sharday
Baines (East Cleveland,
OH) had 13 points and
a game-high six assists
and junior Aly Herren
(Mason, OH) netted 10
points.
Moore led a quartet
of double-digit scorers
