REV. MARVIN L. SALLEE
VINTON — Rev. Marvin L. Sallee, 78, Vinton,
Ohio, passed away Monday, April 19, 2021 at
his home surrounded by
his family.
He was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia
on August 13, 1942 to
the late Virgil and Grace
Powers Sallee. He married Ethel May Edman
Sallee and often referred
to her as his “bride” in
the 56 years they were
married. She always
served in the ministry
alongside of her husband. She preceded his
death on July 20, 2019.
Marvin was a lifetime
minister. He started his
ministry at Good Hope
Baptist Church followed
by Newport Baptist,
Lawrence Baptist and
Deucher Baptist and
Vinton Baptist Church.
He was active in his
community serving on
the Vinton Village Council, United Way, Gallia
County Senior Citizens
Center, Gallia County
Council on Aging and
Chaplain at Holzer
Medical Center. He was
named the Ohio Mission Person of the Year
in 1997. Marvin had a
great love for Gospel
Music. He was referred
to by some as the “Singing Preacher.” He spent
many years traveling in
West Virginia and Ohio
spreading the message
of the gospel in song.
Marvin had a love for
people that was genuine.
He had a way of making everyone feel as if
they have mattered. He
had a vision to reach
his community with the
Hope that is found in
the message of Jesus
Christ; calling out to the
broken, the lost, those
entrapped in the chains
of addiction, and the
hurting, “punching holes
in the darkness”; he was
fully devoted to this and
it became his life’s work

for the Glory of God.
Those left to cherish his memory are his
children, son, Brian
(Rachel) Sallee, Vinton,
and three daughters:
Debbie (Keith) Eleam,
Becky (Chester) Hess
and Sarah (Eric) Thornton, all of Vinton; ten
grandchildren: Kimberly
Sallee, Aaron Sallee,
Abbie Eleam, Beverly
Hess, Andrew Eleam,
Cameron Hess, Allison
Hess, Kaden Thornton,
Landyn Hess and Kolton
Thornton; siblings, Clayton Sallee, Union Grove,
Wisconsin, Robert Sallee, Salisbury, North
Carolina, Melinda Sallee, Gallipolis, Ohio and
Paul (Crystal) Sallee,
Coolville, Ohio,.
In addition to his
parents and his wife,
Marvin was preceded
in death by an infant
daughter, Beverly Sallee,
brother, Richard Sallee,
sister, Marlene Palmer,
infant brother, Ronald
Eugene Sallee and infant
sister, Mary Virginia
Sallee.
Funeral service will be
held 1 p.m., Friday, April
23, 2021 at the Elizabeth
Chapel Church, Gallipolis. Burial will follow at
Vinton Memorial Cemetery, Vinton. Family
and friends may call at
the church on Thursday
from 5 – 8 p.m.
PLEASE NOTE: To
respect the safety of the
family and in accordance
with CDC Regulations
and current COVID-19
pandemic protocol, face
coverings are required,
and social distancing is
requested in the church
during visitation and
funeral services. We
respectfully ask that visitors not linger during
the visitation hours. We
and the family thank you
for this consideration.

White Falcons oust Hannan, 94-27
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

MASON, W.Va. — They say it’s
tough to beat a team three times in
a season… but they didn’t tell the
White Falcons.
The second-seeded Wahama
boys basketball team — which
topped Hannan 87-30 on March
20, and 89-48 on April 4 — defeated the third-seeded Wildcats again
in the Class A Region IV, Section 2
semiﬁnal on Tuesday at Gary Clark
Court, this time by a 94-27 tally.
Wahama (6-11) was up 30-4 a
quarter into play, with an 11-to1 advantage in ﬁeld goals in the
opening stanza. A 24-to-3 second
quarter gave the White Falcons a
54-7 halftime edge.
The Wildcats (1-11) had their
best quarter with 13 points in the
third. However, Wahama tallied 20
and headed into the ﬁnale on top
74-20.
The Red and White capped off
the 94-27 victory with a 20-to-7
fourth quarter.
In the win, WHS shot 37-of80 (46.3 percent) from the ﬁeld,

including 8-of-25 (36 percent) from
beyond the arc. Four of Hannan’s
nine ﬁeld goals came from threepoint range. At the foul line, the
hosts were 12-for-17 (70.6 percent)
and the guests hit 5-of-10 (50 percent).
WHS won the turnover battle by
a 35-to-7 count. Wahama recorded
21 defensive rebounds, 16 offensive
boards, 20 assists, and 23 steals.

Wahama sophomore Josiah
Lloyd hit a game-best three triples
and led all-scorers with 24 points.
Bryce Zuspan came up with 15
points and ﬁve assists, while Ethan
Gray claimed 12 points, and teamhighs of eight rebounds and six
steals. Alex Hardwick was next
with 10 points, followed by Sawyer VanMatre with nine. William
McCallister and Harrison PankoShields scored eight each, Isaac
Roush chipped in with ﬁve points
and a team-best six assists, while
Michael VanMatre rounded out the
winning tally with three points.
Logan Barker led the guests with
10 points. Brady Edmunds and

RedStorm softball marches past Saints
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

CRESTVIEW HILLS,
Ky. — Kayla Slutz had
a tie-breaking hit in the
seventh inning of game
one, while the junior duo
of Kenzie Cremeens and
Taylor Webb beat up on
Thomas More University
pitching in game two
as the University of Rio

Grande swept a non-conference softball doubleheader from the Saints,
Monday afternoon, at
Thomas More Field.
The RedStorm posted a
6-3 victory in the opener
and cruised to a 12-3
triumph in the nightcap,
pushing their overall
record to 31-12.
Thomas More, a
member of the NAIA’s

Mid-South Conference,
slipped to 17-22 as a
result of the sweep.
The Saints rallied from
a 3-0 deﬁcit in game one
with a three-run fourth
inning rally, but Rio
regained the lead for good
thanks to Slutz’s seventh
inning heroics.
Freshman Cierra Clark
(Plain City, OH) was hit
by a pitch to begin the

rally, while a one-out
single by freshman Caitlyn Brisker (Oak Hill,
OH) and subsequent walk
to Webb (Willow Wood,
OH) loaded the bases.
One out later, Slutz — a
senior from Navarre, Ohio
— lined a bases-clearing
double to the gap in rightcenter for a 6-3 lead.

Publishers of 125 newspapers

similar lawsuits Monday, according to Editor &amp; Publisher.
The companies have been
subject to antitrust claims in the
past, including a 2020 investigatory report by the U.S. House of
Representatives Judiciary Committee, which looked at the effect
Facebook and Google have had
on the newspaper industry.
In one instance, the lawsuit
describes an alleged scheme
between Facebook and Google
in which the companies agreed
to avoid competing with one
another in 2018, along with other

alleged conﬂicts of interest and
monopolizing behaviors that
publishers claim have disrupted
their business models and forced
more newspapers to move their
content behind paywalls.
“There is no longer a competitive market in which newspapers
can fairly compete for online
advertising revenue,” the suit
claims. “Google has vertically
integrated itself, through hundreds of mergers and acquisitions, to enable domain over all
sellers, buyers and middlemen in
the marketplace. It has absorbed
the market internally and consumed most of the revenue.”

and a two-run double by Oldaker. Federal Hocking got a run
back in the ﬁfth, but an RBI

but left the potential gametying run at the plate. Brayden

in 6.2 innings, striking out ﬁve.
Oldaker struck out the game’s
ﬁnal batter, picking up the
save. Wes Carpenter struck out

eight and took the loss in ﬁve
innings for Federal Hocking.
Oldaker led Eastern’s offense,

On February 19, 2021, Ohio Power and Light, LLC. filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of
the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the
Robert C. Byrd Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project to be
located on the Ohio River, near the Town of Gallipolis, in Gallia
County, Ohio, and Mason County, West Virginia. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder
to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon
lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express
permission.
The proposed project would utilize the impoundment formed by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers R. C. Byrd Locks and Dam
and consist of the following: (1) a new 150-foot-long by
250-foot-wide concrete-walled intake/forebay structure; (2) a
new 250-foot-wide by 170-foot-long concrete powerhouse
containing four 5.75-megawatt (MW) pit turbine-generators for
a total project capacity of 21.1 MW; (3) a new 300-foot-long by
300-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a new 60-foot-long by 60-foot-wide
substation; (5) a new 2.41-mile-long, 138-kilovolt transmission
line.; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual
generation of the Robert C. Byrd Lock and Dam Hydroelectric

MU researchers study wastewater for SARS-CoV-2
Staff Report

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
— Members of the Marshall University research
community have looked
to an unusual outlet to
supplement the battle
against the SARS-CoV-2
virus, which causes
COVID-19.
According to a news
release from the university, starting in the fall
of 2020, a collaboration
of Marshall programs
began working together
to collect and test campus wastewater for the
SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Dr. Chuck Somerville,
the dean of the College
Science, was among
a group of Marshall
University employees
that became aware of a
program being used at
municipalities across the
country that would test
municipal wastewater as
a predictor for clinical
outbreaks of the disease.
The idea was that if a
residence hall waste
stream tests positive for
Sars-Cov 2, campus safety could monitor those
facilities.
From there, a plan
was hatched. Travis

Bailey, director of the
physical plant, could collect the samples; David
Neff, a technician in the
chemistry department,
could prep the samples
for ampliﬁcation; and
Dr. Daniel Brazeau, an
associate professor in
the School Medicine
and School of Pharmacy, and Jason Chute,
DNA technical leader in
forensic science, both
had the equipment and
experience to perform
the genetic testing of the
samples. Sampling started in October of 2020 for
the project.
Autosamplers were set
up to collect samples in
the morning. Samples
were taken back to the
lab and run through puriﬁcation to remove chemicals. Sars-Cov-2 RNA was
isolated by the Forensic
Science center. Prepared
samples were then taken
to the School of Pharmacy for detection of
Sar-Cov-2 using standard
CDC guidelines.
The project is already
paying dividends in the
surveillance of the virus
and as a teaching opportunity in state-of-the-art
genetic testing proce-

Ohio Democrats unveil
legislative gun control proposals
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Democrats in the Ohio House have
unveiled several gun control proposals including universal background checks for gun purchases
and so-called “red ﬂag” laws allowing for the temporary removal of
weapons from individuals deemed
a risk to themselves or others.
Other Democratic proposals
would require safe and secure storage of ﬁrearms in homes with children, with a tax credit provided
for those buying safety locks, and
would also allow local communities to once again approve their
own gun control measures.
“Ohioans have spoken loudly
and clearly that we need to do
something to end gun violence,”
Akron Democrat Emilia Strong
Sykes, the House minority leader,
said Monday in introducing the
proposals.
She said gun violence has gone

Somerville said. “Institutions will know where

The proposals face an uphill
climb in a Republican-dominated
Legislature where GOP lawmakers
have pushed recently to ease many
weapons restrictions.
In January, Republican Gov.
Mike DeWine signed into law a
bill expanding the so-called “stand

“if that person is in a place in
which the person lawfully has a
right to be.”
DeWine signed the bill despite
expressing disappointment that
lawmakers didn’t add measures he
sought since the Dayton shooting
that would toughen background
checks and boost penalties for felons committing new crimes with
guns.

TODAY

that we’re talking about
in class, Young said. “It
lines up very well with
the learning environment.”
The other students
involved in the project
are Cyrus Falsaﬁ, a
senior, and Tabby Collins, a junior. Somerville
says collecting data in
this kind of system can
allow for institutions to
prepare ahead of time
before a surge can over-

dures. Students have
been brought into the
project in several ways
from lab work to recordkeeping and methods
development. Among the
students participating in
the lab work is Holden
Young, a freshman from
Huntington, who works
in the lab.
“It’s a great opportunity, to be able to be a
part of the project and
learn hands on things

“We would like to have
a system that not only
provides information on
this pandemic, but helps
the state manage the
next emerging infectious
disease,” Somerville said.
After running samples
for a few months on a
small-scale level, the
Marshall team was
contacted by the West
Virginia Department
of Health and Human
Resources (WV DHHR)
to collaborate on a larger
project of surveillance
monitoring at the state
level. The WV DHHR is
seeking funding for the
project. The hope is to
create a program that
could give lead time for
the state to prepare for
surges in cases.
According to the news
release, the project has
been valuable in helping
the team to learn how
to conduct this type of
research quickly and
accurately. The project is
still in the developmental stage and ofﬁcials
continue to work with
biosafety ofﬁcials on how
the research can be conducted safely.
