Lighting up the park with ‘Gallipolis In Lights’

Refuge
Church
moving to
Pomeroy
By Sarah Hawley

Dean Wright | Times-Sentinel

Gallipolis in Lights is officially plugged in for the Christmas season. The lighting ceremony was held this week in Gallipolis City Park with holiday entertainment as
well as hot chocolate and cookies to get visitors into the Christmas spirit. This year, the public decorated the park with over 125 Christmas trees which were decorated
around a sponsor’s choosing. Roughly 1300 light balls have been hung on City Park trees this year in comparison to last year’s 1000. More on this year’s light display

Miss Ohio USA looks back

Wise recounts a memorable year in the life
By Beth Sergent
bsergent@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — For Megan
Wise, 2016 will be an unforgettable year.
It all began last November
when she was crowned Miss
Ohio USA and that amazing
year recently ended on the
same stage where it all began.
A native of Gallia County,
Wise is a graduate of Gallia
Academy and the University of
Rio Grande. She also teaches at
Meigs Elementary School and
has family in Mason County,
where she also attends church.
Her story touches the entire
tri-county and anyone who has
pursued a dream despite disappointment.
By 2015, Wise had previously
competed in the Miss Ohio
USA competition nine times,
starting when she was 18 in the

“teen” category and then moving up to the “miss” division
where, over the last few years
prior to winning, she had been
ﬁrst runner-up and second runner-up multiple times. She was
so close so many times, only to
come up short. Last year was
her ﬁnal year of eligibility and
after a tough second runner-up
ﬁnish the prior year, she wasn’t
sure if she’d attempt one more
try but she did and ﬁnally took
home the big prize last year.
Looking back over her memorable year, Ohio Valley Publishing sat down with Wise for
a question and answer session
with the following result.
Q: Tell us some favorite memories
from your year of being Miss Ohio
USA.
A: Throughout this past
year, I was able to experience
many wonderful appearances,

POMEROY — The
Refuge Church will soon
have a location of its
own to call home, as
the church prepares to
move to Pomeroy from
Cheshire.
Pastor Jordan Bradford
and several others have
been working on the new
location after the church
purchased the former G
and J Auto Parts building
on West Second Street.
Bradford explained the
church had started a campaign last year with looking to build in the future.
They recently found
out they would need to
move from the location
they had been leasing

which also housed the
headquarters for Freedom

they would need to move

the Lord said they would

OHIO VALLEY — Deer season
begins on Monday as area hunters prepare to take to the woods in
search of that perfect buck.
According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR),
deer hunting is an extremely popular
activity for sportsmen statewide, and
Ohio’s white-tailed deer continue to
provide hunters across the state with
excellent opportunities for success as
they head out into the ﬁeld.
Ohio’s deer-gun season opens
Monday, Nov. 28. Hunting remains
the most effective management tool
for maintaining Ohio’s healthy deer
population.

Wildlife Hotline
Hunters and others who have questions about hunting can contact the
ODNR Division of Wildlife toll-free
at 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543). The
white-tailed deer-gun hunting seasons occur at a time when Ohio hunters may have last-minute questions,
and the ODNR Division of Wildlife
will be available to assist. Special call
center hours include: 8 a.m.-7 p.m.,
Monday, Nov. 28, to Friday, Dec. 2,
and 12-5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, for
deer-gun season.

NEW YORK — Shoppers were on the hunt
for deals and were at the
stores for entertainment
Friday as malls opened
for what is still one of the
busiest days of the year,
even as the start of the
holiday season edges ever
earlier.
Julie Singewald’s Black
Friday started at 4 a.m.
at a Twin Cities outlet
mall. By 6 a.m., she and
her two teenagers made
it to the Mall of America
in Bloomington, Minnesota. Singewald said she
was merely the vehicle
— “and sometimes the
credit card” — as her
daughters worked on
their shopping lists.
Increasingly, the
44-year-old is doing more
of her shopping online.
“I’m a point-and-click
person,” she said. “If it
were up to me, I would be
in my pajamas and on my
computer at home.”
Black Friday, the day
after Thanksgiving, used
to launch the holiday season, but the competition
to grab customers ﬁrst is
keen. Stores like Macy’s,
Walmart, Target and
more were open Thursday evening in what they
hope will be a new holiday tradition as they try
to ﬁght off competition
from online juggernaut
Amazon.

THEIR VIEW

The next
day and the
last word
On Thanksgiving, I “crossed the river” and
spent the holiday with my “Ohio relatives,” eating turkey on Second Avenue in Gallipolis. There
were people there I’ve known my
entire life, as well as complete strangers. Since it was my day off, I didn’t
bother asking questions about the
identities or purpose of the strangers
around the dessert table.
Getting a day off as a reporter

mistakes from time to
time but I assure you,
we know it when it happens. We get a feeling in
our gut similar to tripping in public before a large
audience. We strive to never feel that again. As my
former editor Stephanie Filson described it, sometimes, “we choke on the humanity of it all” in the
process of getting the news out.
A person who taught me to get the news
out, was a person who also taught me about
the “humanity of it all.” The late Brian J. Reed,
long-time staff writer for The Daily Sentinel and
Sunday Times-Sentinel, passed away ﬁve years
ago this month. Though he had health issues, his
passing was unexpected at the time and left us
all feeling as though the universe had tripped in
public, though there was no way to correct it. I
keep a piece Brian wrote on my desk that reminds
me to always look to the next day, despite any mistakes, despite the triumphs of the story everyone
is reading on Tuesday, or the ordinary Wednesday
edition.
About a year before he died, Brian had scribbled
a favorite quote on a piece of paper and stuck it on
the wall of his ofﬁce in The Daily Sentinel. It was
by Albert Camus who wrote that, in the depths of
winter he ﬁnally learned there lay within him an
“invincible summer.”
I thought the quote was intriguing at the time
but I never asked Brian to elaborate on what it
meant to him, though clearly it meant something.
A year after he died, a mutual friend messaged me
a column Brian had written about that quote and
more. Contained within it was the reminder to
keep looking ahead, despite evidence to the contrary and no matter the season. He wrote it two
months before he died from complications of heart
disease at 44 years old. I’ll end my column with a
portion of it here as a reminder of the humanity
of it all, the next day and the next edition. By the
way, I’m sure Brian would appreciate having the
last word.
“As this summer turns to autumn, I face frightening uncertainties. The quotation is still on the
wall, and I’m beginning to understand why I put
it there. It was for the same reason I made certain changes, why I uncharacteristically pursued
unlikely new friendships just because they seemed
right, why I worked harder to be myself, but kinder, and to forgive more.
It was to prepare for what was ahead a year
later. And here I am.

myself today that regardless of what the calendar

Be ‘Ohio Proud,’ shop
local for the holidays
Dear Editor:
‘Tis the season when family and friends gather
together to eat, give thanks and celebrate the holidays. As you begin your holiday shopping and event
planning, I encourage you to buy gifts and supplies
within your community which support the diversity
and quality of Ohio’s locally made and grown products.
When you buy local, you are supporting our state’s
businesses and farmers while keeping your hard
earned dollars in the community where you live,
work and play. Every dollar spent on Ohio products
reinvests in your local economy and allows local businesses to grow and hire more of your friends and
neighbors for quality jobs.
Buying local not only ensures that your hometown
economy remains strong, but that downtown shopping districts and Main Streets stay vibrant and

unique. In turn, local vendors help us ﬁnd thoughtful,
one-of-a-kind gifts for our loved ones.
Many specialty retailers focus on Ohio-made or
-grown products and gifts. If you live in an area with
a limited selection, large retailers carry many of these
items as well. From fresh food, wine and baked goods
to crafts, artisan soaps and lotions, you will likely ﬁnd
Ohio products in each aisle of your favorite grocery
store.
Programs like the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s “Ohio Proud” program are designed to draw
consumers’ attention to products that are made,
grown or processed in Ohio. Our website, ohioproud.
org, lets you learn more about Ohio Proud products
and where to buy them. Looking for Ohio Proud and
other locally made products is a great way to tackle
your holiday shopping list while giving back to your
local community.
For information on Ohio Proud products and companies, visit www.ohioproud.org

Q: What opportunities
has being Miss Ohio USA
provided you?
A: Being Miss Ohio
USA served as an opportunity for me to spread a
message throughout my
community, the state, and
even the nation about
how important it is to
believe in yourself and
to never give up on your
goals. But I also was able
to experience a unique bit
of limelight because of the
title. I was signed to New
View Modeling and Talent agency where I have
walked in runway shows
and have been featured
in commercial advertisements for major brands
such as Farouk Systems
&amp; Chi Hair care, Chinese
Laundry, Sherri Hill, Luli
Fama Swimwear, and Saks
5th Avenue, Escada.
I also had the opportunity to be a guest speaker
on many morning television and radio talk shows
throughout Ohio as well
as being a headline fea-

ture on E News, Access
Hollywood, and Cosmopolitan.
I was also a Top 15
Semiﬁnalist at Miss USA
where I had the opportunity to grace the stage
in a swimsuit live on Fox
in front of over 6 million
viewers from around the
world.
Q: What are your future
plans?
A: One of the most
powerful things about
having a title is having
the ability to impact the
people around you and
I tried to never miss
an opportunity to do
so. During my 52-week
reign as Miss Ohio USA,
I made over 45 event
appearances in addition
to a 3-week stay in Las

and young adults, to learn skills
that are needed in everyday
life which they may not have
learned previously.
Bradford explained that the
church is non-denominational
and that everything they do
goes on the motto, “Loving
God, Loving People, Serving
the World.”
Along those lines, Bradford
explained that the name of the
church is representative of the
church being a refuge for all
people. Bradford added that
when people ﬁrst come to the
church is is like they are coming home and nothing outside
of that matters.
The ﬁrst service at the new
location is set for 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, with a Sunday
service at 10:30 a.m. on the
11th.

Ohio State
rolls past
Marshall,
111-70
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Marc
Loving scored 20 points and grabbed
14 rebounds to lead Ohio State to a
111-70 win over Marshall on Friday
night.
Jae’Sean Tate added 20 points,
and Kam Williams made ﬁve 3-pointers and ﬁnished with 17 points for
the Buckeyes (6-0). Trevor Thompson scored a season-high 15 points,
and Micah Potter had 12 points and
12 rebounds for Ohio State.
For the second game in a row, Loving was the key to a scoring barrage
by the Buckeyes. After failing to
produce a double-digit scoring line
in the ﬁrst three games, Loving has
combined for 39 points in his last
two outings.
“Offense was something that we
really wanted to polish up on,” Loving said. “Throughout the season so
far, we really created our identity on
the defensive end, so just picking up
our pace and moving the ball from
one side of the ﬂoor really opened
up the court today.”
Rebounding was a large factor for
the dominating performance of the
Buckeyes, and Loving and Potter did
their respective parts on the glass to
keep Ohio State ahead.
After losing the opening tip and
trailing following an opening three,
smothering defense and fast-paced
offense gave the Buckeyes the edge
in the end. The Buckeyes pulled
down 27 offensive rebounds and
forced 15 turnovers, all while scoring
61 points in the ﬁrst half, their most
since 1991.
Jon Elmore scored 14 of his
season-high 25 points in the ﬁrst
half for Marshall (4-1), which played
without center Ryan Taylor who
was ejected Monday against Jackson
State. Austin Loop added 15 points.
The Thundering Herd shot 13 of
40 on 3-point attempts.
“I don’t know if whether our kids
were tired or just got lost in headlights,” coach Dan D’Antoni said.
“We seemed a lot slower than we
have been playing. I don’t want to
take anything away from Ohio State.
They’ve got some great players and
they played extremely well.”
Ohio State trailed brieﬂy after
Loop hit a quick shot to start the
game before stretching out to a 12-7
lead four minutes into the ﬁrst half.
A 13-0 run gave the Buckeyes a
38-14 lead with nine minutes left in
the half.
The Buckeyes’ defensive scheme
allowed Thompson to capitalize on
open looks at the hoop. “The biggest
thing was when I saw the guy rotate,
I would just ﬁnd the next body and
seal him,” Thompson said. “My
teammates were doing a good job of
ﬁnding and I was doing a good job of
sealing.”

Big Blacks dominate 2016 gridiron selections
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
Once again, Point Pleasant
produced a dominant 2016
football campaign.
And once again, the Big
Blacks secured a lot of honors for their brilliance on the
gridiron.
Point Pleasant led the
tri-county area after having
nine players and a total of 10
people chosen to the Ohio
Valley Publishing Super 25
Football Team for the 2016
football season.
Only players on programs
within Gallia, Mason and
Meigs counties were eligible
for consideration, and the
selections were made by the
three full-time sports writers at our trio of local daily
publications — The Daily
Sentinel, Gallipolis Daily
Tribune and Point Pleasant
Register.
The selection process was
based on overall contributions to each individual’s
team — whether it be on
offense, defense or special
teams — and how those
efforts impacted outcomes
on Friday night. This area
“all-star” squad was also
assembled to reward and
acknowledge some of our
ﬁnest local athletes for
another memorable season
of high school football.
There were 11 offensive
players and 11 defensive
players chosen, as well as a
kicker and two all-purpose
choices for players that just
did a little bit of everything
well. A player of the year
was chosen on each of side
of the ball and a coach of the
year was also honored by
OVP.
In all, the overall goal for
the selection committee
was to come away with the
tri-county’s 25 best football
players. There were also several very good football players who did not make this
list, though all were given
consideration.
We’ll start this list,
however, by announcing
that 10th-year Point Pleasant coach Dave Darst was
named as the OVP Super
25 Coach of the Year. Darst

shared the same honors with
RVHS coach Jerrod Sparling
last year.
Only PPHS (11-1) and
Southern (8-3) enjoyed
playoff berths this past fall,
while River Valley was the
only other OVP area squad
to produce a winning campaign at 6-4.
Meigs and Eastern both
ﬁnished the year 4-6, while
Hannan went 2-7 and
Wahama ended the year 2-8.
Gallia Academy also ﬁnished
1-9 overall.
All nine programs had at
least one player selected to
the OVP Super 25 squad,
but the Big Blacks led the
charge with their nine selections — which included
three of the ﬁve repeaters
from last fall.
The Tornadoes were next
in line with ﬁve choices, followed by the Raiders with
three picks and both the
Marauders and Eagles with
two selections apiece.
The Rebels, Wildcats,
White Falcons and Blue Devils all had one player named
to the OVP Super 25 Team
as well.
Senior linebacker Grant
Safford — who was selected
as a running back on the
2015 OVP Super 25 Team
— was named the 2016
defensive player of the year
after pacing a unit that
allowed just a shade over
16 points per game and
ﬁnished the year plus-17 in
turnover differential.
No individual defensive
statistics were available for
Safford as of press time.
Safford also rushed for over
1,700 yards in his ﬁnal year
with the program.
Sophomore quarterback
Cason Payne earned the
2016 offensive player of the
year honors after becoming the ﬁrst PPHS player
to amass both 1,000 yards
passing and rushing in the
same regular season.
Payne ﬁnished his historic
year with 1,237 rushing
yards and 16 touchdowns on
146 carries while also completing 93-of-167 passes for
1,586 yards, 16 touchdowns
and only three interceptions.
Payne, however, was named
to the team as an all-purpose

Point Pleasant sophomore Cason Payne (7) breaks a long run in front of
senior teammate Seth Stewart (50) during the Big Blacks’ three-point
victory over North Marion, on November 11, at OVB Track and Field.

Pittsburgh pounds
Luck-less Colts, 28-7
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers’ fast start created big
expectations.
A midseason swoon put all those
hopes in jeopardy.
Now, with two straight double-digit
wins, the Steelers ﬁnd themselves with
momentum as they try to charge back
into the playoff hunt.
“We know it’s time for us to roll our
sleeves up and show our identity, put
our will on display, and ﬁnd a way to do
what we desire to do,” receiver Antonio
Brown said after catching three touchdown passes in Thursday night’s 28-7
victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
What they’ve been doing is dominating.
Following Sunday’s 15-point victory
at Cleveland, all the Steelers did was
score touchdowns on their ﬁrst three
possessions, come up with two goalline stands on defense and extend their
winning streak over the Colts to four
straight — the last three by a combined
score of 124-51.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
didn’t have to throw much but was efﬁcient when he did, ﬁnishing 14 of 20 for
221 yards with three TD passes. Brown
only had ﬁve receptions for 91 yards,
but the two he had in the ﬁrst half broke
open the game and the ﬁnal one, with
5:30 to play, sealed the win. Le’Veon
Bell ran 23 times for 120 yards and
another score.
The defense picked off two passes
and had three more sacks, giving the
Steelers 11 in the last eight quarter.
That’s Pittsburgh football — and the
timing couldn’t be better.
“Good win for us on a short week on

Michael Conroy | AP

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger takes a bite out of a turkey
leg following the team’s NFL football game
against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday in
Indianapolis. Pittsburgh won 28-7.

the road,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “We
don’t take it for granted, we appreciate
it, but it was much needed.”
Especially in a game that pitted two
teams trying to ﬁght their way back
into the postseason chase.
Indy (5-6) was looking for its third
straight win despite playing without
Andrew Luck (concussion).
Pittsburgh, which was 4-1 before four
straight losses, wanted to prove that the
win over the Browns was not merely an
aberration.
And while the Colts were playing
short-handed, Pittsburgh’s victory could
go a long way in determining whether
the Steelers can hold onto or expand
their tenuous ½-game lead in the AFC
North.
“I think we were just the better team
today. We did a good job with scoring
points,” Brown said. “Defense put up
some great stops, they had two turnovers on defense. Those are the things
that produce a winning outcome.”

Bengals-Ravens: Rivals meet
Sunday in battle for survival
BALTIMORE (AP) — When the
Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore
Ravens face each other this late in the
season, the matchup usually involves
two teams vying for a high seed in
postseason play.
The situation will be quite different
on Sunday.
This time, it’s about survival.
The Ravens (5-5) need a victory to
remain in ﬁrst place in the lackluster AFC North. With games at New
England, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
still on the schedule, Baltimore can
ill afford to drop below .500 with ﬁve
weeks to go.
“Everyone knows what lies ahead
of us. You deﬁnitely want to win all
your home games,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “That is when you
have your best edge, your best chance
to win. You take care of your home
games and you split on the road, and

it pretty much takes care of itself.
These are not only big games, they
are monumental.”
The stakes are even higher for
Cincinnati (3-6-1). With a loss Sunday, the Bengals can pretty much bid
farewell to their run of ﬁve straight
playoff appearances.
“Really for us, to salvage our season
and make it worth something for us,
we need to take this opportunity to go
on the road and win a big game,” left
tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “If we
can do that, we’ll have a chance.”
Cincinnati had the same mindset
last Sunday at home against Buffalo.
But a season-ending injury to running
back Giovani Bernard (torn ACL) and
a severe hamstring injury to receiver
A.J. Green contributed heavily to a
16-12 defeat.

Durable Eli, Giants set to face winless Browns
But, hey, who’s counting?
“I don’t really know how to take
that,” Manning said earlier this
week when told about the stunning
disparity as the Giants (7-3) prepared
to visit the Browns (0-11), whose
quarterback carousel has been
whizzing at a record rate in 2016.
On Sunday, quarterback Josh
McCown returns to Cleveland’s
starting lineup, replacing rookie Cody
Kessler who sustained his second
concussion in less than a month last
week and is only playing this season
because the Browns can’t protect any
of their quarterbacks.
They’ve started three and Cleveland
has used six QBs in 2016 if you
include wide receiver Terrelle Pryor,
who started nine games as Oakland’s
quarterback in 2013 before changing
positions to salvage his career.

unnecessary hits. I want to be out
there each and every week for my
team, for my ownership and coaches
and try to put us in a situation to win
each game.”
Here are some other things to note
as the Browns try to end the worst
start in their 66-year history:
BE CAREFUL: The Giants have
never faced a team as bad as the
Browns — record-wise.
New York hasn’t played a 0-11 team
in its rich history. The closest was a
matchup with a 0-10 Dallas team on
Dec. 4, 1960, a game that ended in a
31-31 tie. The Giants are 9-3 against
teams 0-4 or worse since the 1970
merger.
Still, New York coach Ben McAdoo
has been preaching to his team the
importance of not taking the Browns
lightly.

has only made things more

coach Hue Jackson, who was already
strapped with an inexperienced roster
and has been forced to adjust on the
ﬂy.
For now, Jackson can only dream of
stability.
“He is out there all the time,”
Jackson said while praising Manning’s
toughness, timing and accountability.
“That is what gives you a chance to
be 7-3.”
As expected, Manning downplayed
his steadiness and spread around the
praise for his permanence to others
the same way he dissects a defense.
“I obviously give credit to my
offensive line and running backs,
receivers getting open quickly,” he
said. “I try not to hang back there

CLEVELAND (AP) — Eli Manning
has started 194 consecutive games for
the New York Giants, a remarkable
run of durability that has kept them
relevant for more than a decade.
At this point, the Cleveland Browns
would settle for one QB making it
through a full game.
Since making his ﬁrst start on Nov.
21, 2004, Manning has not missed a
game, the longest streak among active
NFL players — at any position — and
the third-longest for a quarterback in
league history. Only Brett Favre (294)
and Manning’s older brother, Peyton
(227), have been as sturdy behind
center.
Let’s compare that to the Browns,
who have gone through 21 starting
QBs over the same span.
In their game notes, the Giants
erroneously stated the Browns have
used 24 starters in Manning’s era.

Ohio State’s Urban Meyer, Florida girl share special bond
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Eleven-year-old Kate Amato
has a smile that lights up a
room. Urban Meyer vouched
for that.
“Gorgeous,” Meyer said.
She’s also stolen his heart.
That was evidenced by the
Ohio State coach taking time
out of his week preparing
for Saturday’s game with
Michigan to ﬂip through

several pictures on his phone
of them together. Some
were taken at Nationwide
Children’s Hospital last
week.
Kate, from Jacksonville
Beach, Florida, was there
to continue treatment for
cancer — rhabdomyosarcoma,
an aggressive form that
attacks skeletal muscle tissue
primarily. She was in her

third round of treatment for
the disease that ﬁrst showed
up two years ago.
Meyer met her while both
attended the Tim Tebow
Foundation function in
Florida last year. Florida
State offensive line coach
Rick Trickett befriended her,
too, and when he found out a
couple of months ago she’d be
in Columbus for treatments,

he encouraged Meyer to ”
‘take care of my girl,’ ” Meyer
said.
Over the weeks he had
Kate and her mother, Lisa,
over for lunch at the Woody
Hayes Athletic Center, they
visited practice a few times,
and Meyer visited her at the
hospital. Meyer took gifts, but
more importantly, her mother
said, he took the time.

“We’ve been exposed to
quite a few pretty amazing
people in the last couple of
years since she’s been sick,
but in the context of it, you
just really don’t care. It’s
like, ‘Hi, nice to meet you,’
but it doesn’t really affect you
in the same way it otherwise
would probably,” Lisa Amato
said Wednesday after she and
Kate returned home.

Love, Irving lead Cavs to 128-90 rout of Mavericks
CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James pulled down
a full-court pass from Kevin Love, threw down a dunk
and gave the touchdown signal on his way up the
court.
Times are good for the defending NBA champions.
Love scored 27 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and
the Cleveland Cavaliers led by as many as 45 points
in a 128-90 rout of the Dallas Mavericks on Friday
night.
Love hit seven 3-pointers while Irving, who made

his ﬁrst 10 shots, scored 19 points in the ﬁrst quarter. Irving’s big quarter came two nights after Love
scored an NBA-record 34 in the ﬁrst against Portland.
James, playing in his 1,000th regular-season game,
had 19 points and 11 assists. The game’s signature
moment came when Love found James streaking
down the right side of the court for the play that
thrilled the crowd.
“I’ve been in that position quite a lot,” said James,
who played wide receiver in high school. “Kev’s been

small towns have their fair
share of issues. But, bigger
cities come with things like
heavy trafﬁc, high cost of
living, crime, social disconnectedness and noise. Lots of
noise.
The novelty of the bright
lights, shopping districts and
endless restaurant options
quickly wore thin. Living and
working in this type of environment made me yearn for
the quiet, familiar comfort of
the little Ohio River town I
had left behind.
Often in need of a break
from the busy lifestyle I had
adapted to, trips home to Gallia County became my escape.
When I needed to slow down
and recharge my batteries, I

came back to the place where
people I passed on the street
smiled and called me by name.
The place where a simple trip
to the local grocer turned into
a long overdue class reunion. I
was home, but only temporarily.
No matter where I lived,
worked or traveled, Gallia
County was always at the center of my heart and mind. If I
wasn’t home for a visit, I was
thinking about going home for
a visit. While my colleagues
displayed framed photos of
themselves and their families
vacationing in exotic places,
my desk was decorated with
ﬂeur-de-lis and pictures of my
children standing near the
Bandstand. I may have left

home, but home never left me.
In 2013, my family and I
returned to Gallia County.
Three years later, we are
happy, thriving, thankful and
proud to share this wonderful
little community with kind,
caring, involved citizens.
Of all the places I have lived
and visited over the years,
only one is worthy of being
called home. It is where I was
raised, where I met and married my husband and where
the majority of my history and
memories reside.
There really is no place like
it…

A woman’s fight against abnormal cells found during annual exam
It’s frightening as a woman
to be told by your doctor that
abnormal cells have been found
during your annual exam.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have
to be frightening thanks to a
loop electrosurgical excision
procedure (LEEP). This
procedure is used to diagnose
and treat abnormal conditions
in a woman’s body.

Dr. Fri
Mofor-Eta
Contributing
columnist

Here’s how it works: using a
wire loop that’s heated by an
electric current, your physician
is able to remove any abnormal
cells and tissues and send them
to the lab for testing. When
these tissues are removed, the
procedure then allows healthy
tissue to grow. In fact, in 90
percent of cases, LEEP will cure
the problem altogether.

LEEP is a quick, mostly painless
outpatient procedure. You’ll notice
that the procedure itself is much like
an annual Pap test, and may in fact
be done while you are getting your
annual exam. However, because tissue
samples are cut away, you’ll want to
limit your activity and avoid certain
activities for up to a month.
Pleasant Valley Hospital is
dedicated to providing state-of-the-art

obstetric and gynecologic care to all
women in our wonderful community.
That’s why we encourage you to get
annual pelvic exams so any issues
with your reproductive health can
be tackled before they become a real
problem. And we offer LEEP services
to ensure your needs are truly being
met. We’re here to keep you at your
best, so schedule an appointment
today at 304-857-6503.
