Watson sentenced to 22 years in prison
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — A Long Bottom woman was sentenced
to 22 years behind bars for
the assault and kidnapping of
another woman.
Brooke Watson, 30, of Long
Bottom, was sentenced on
charges from two separate
cases after entering a guilty
plea on Tuesday.
Watson was convicted of
Felonious Assault, a felony of
the second degree, and Kidnapping, a felony of the ﬁrst
degree, for an incident that
occurred on March 7, 2018.

Watson was additionally convicted of Illegal
Conveyance of Drugs onto
the Grounds of a Detention
Facility, a felony of the third
degree, and Possession of
Drugs (Heroin), a felony of
the ﬁfth degree, for an incident that occurred on March
28, 2017, in which Watson
was found in possession of
heroin and conveyed alprazolam into the Middleport Jail.
According to Prosecutor
James K. Stanley, on March 7,
2018, Watson was the “ringleader” of the assault, kidnapping and attempted murder
of a woman at a residence on

Bald Knob Stiversville Road
in Long Bottom.
“Watson assaulted the victim with the intent to cause
serious physical harm. Watson
then transported the victim,
who was blindfolded, from the
residence in a motor vehicle
to Forked Run State Park near
Reedsville, Ohio. The victim
was removed from the motor
vehicle, was forced to walk to
a cliff near the dam, and then
Nathan Grimm, Watson’s codefendant, pushed the victim
off the cliff with the intent to
kill her. The victim suffered
serious injuries but survived,”
stated Stanley.

Judge I. Carson Crow heard
arguments from Stanley and
defense attorney Michael
Huff on Thursday afternoon
regarding the sentencing of
Watson.
Stanley argued at length
for the maximum sentence on
each offense to run consecutive to each other for a total
of 23 years in prison.
Huff argued that Watson’s
sentence should be in the
same range to that of codefendant Nathan Grimm who
was sentenced to 15 years.
Huff argued that the statements of the defendants show
that Grimm was likely the one

to commit the “most serious”
of the offenses in pushing the
victim off the dam.
Crow asked both attorneys
if, after the victim was pushed
off the dam, anyone went
down to check on her. Both
said it did not appear that
anyone checked on the victim.
Judge Crow sentenced
Watson to 11 years in prison
for kidnapping, eight years in
prison for felonious assault,
three years in prison for
illegal conveyance of drugs
onto the grounds of a detention facility, and 12 months

which were the maximum sentences.
Judge Crow ordered the 12-month prison
sentence concurrent to the three-year prison sentence, which was ordered consecutive to the 11-year prison sentence and the
eight-year prison sentence for a total of 22
years in prison.
The victim was consulted regarding the
resolution in this matter and agreed with
the state’s recommendation.
“The victim is a very strong and brave
person,” Stanley said. “I am sorry this happened to her, but I am very thankful she
survived. Such crime will not be tolerated
in Meigs County. If you harm others, you
will go to prison for a long time.”
Stanley thanked the good samaritan
who aided the victim near the scene, the
Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources Division
of State Parks and Watercraft, the Middleport Police Department, the Racine Police
Department, the Meigs County Dog Warden, Meigs County EMS, MedFlight, the
Meigs County Victim Assistance Program,
and staff at the Meigs County Prosecuting
Attorney’s Ofﬁce for their assistance in
this matter.
Grimm was previously sentenced to
15 years in prison for kidnapping and
attempted murder. Merissa Starcher,
Watson’s second co-defendant, was also
charged with multiple felonies out of this
incident and awaits trial.

From events of WWII,
a certain story emerged
from the war in Europe.
The engineer of a train
was commissioned to
carry important documents with information
about enemy movements
and orders for troops 60
miles from one point of
a battlefront to another.
His wife and daughter
were on the train as well
as a certain number of
soldiers. The engineer

pushed the train as hard
as it would go. It perilously sped along the track.
Certain turns nearly
toppled the train. Straﬁng
from enemy planes nearly
destroyed the train. The
soldiers groaned at the
nearness of constant
disaster. During all the
tense moments, the
daughter was asked if she
was afraid. She replied,
“No. My father is at the
engine.” After reaching the destination, the
engineer walked back
to the coach his family
was in. Seeing her dad,
the daughter leaped into
his arms with a calm as
though nothing had ever
been in question. Our
Heavenly Father is always
“at the engine” during
our troubles.
There is that part of
the ocean called “the
cushion of the sea.” It is
where the sand and rocks
and ﬁsh life are never
disturbed despite the
turbulence that goes on
over it or around it. God
cushions our lives when
we let Him. God cushions
our troubles in life with
peace. “The eternal God
is your refuge and underneath are His everlasting
arms.”

County and is pastor of Hope
Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

Eagles, ’Does headed to districts
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

Scott Jones | OVP Sports

EHS senior Jasiah Brewer tees off during a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
contest on Aug. 7 at Cliffside Golf Course in Gallipolis, Ohio.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio —
Moving on in Meigs County.
The boys golf teams at
both Eastern and Southern
are headed back to the district level after qualifying out
of the Division III sectional
tournament held Wednesday
at the Jaycee Golf Course in
Ross County.
Both the Eagles and the
Tornadoes earned repeat
district berths with respective ﬁnishes of second and
third overall in the 11-team,
14-school ﬁeld.
Eastern claimed the run-

ner-up spot with a team tally
of 362, while Southern was
two shots back in third with
a ﬁnal score of 364.
Crooksville claimed the
D-3 sectional title by 18
shots, posting a winning tally
of 344. Waterford (389) and
Southeastern (399) claimed
the remaining two district
berths by rounding out the
top ﬁve.
The Eagles — who are
headed to their second
straight district tournament
and third in four years —
were led by Ryan Harbour,
who shot an 85.
John Harris was next with
an 89, followed by Kylee Toll-

iver with a 93. Jasiah Brewer
completed the team score
with a 95, while Nicholus
Durst also ﬁred a 105 for the
Green and White.
The Tornadoes — who
qualiﬁed for their third consecutive district and fourth in
ﬁve years — were paced by
Landen Hill with an 86.
Joey Weaver was next with
a 91, while Ryan Acree followed with a 93. Both Jensen
Anderson and Jarrett Hupp
shot identical rounds of 94
for the Purple and Gold.

Ohio State-Penn
State clash may
see plenty of points
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Saturday
night’s clash between No. 4 Ohio State and
No. 9 Penn State for Big Ten East supremacy
promises to be an offensively explosive affair.
The programs boast the two top scoring
offenses in the country through four games,
with Penn State averaging 55.5 points and the
Buckeyes right behind them at 54.5. They’re
also No. 1 and 2 in touchdowns with 31 for
Penn State and 29 for Ohio State.
It’s a good look for the Big Ten, which
hasn’t been able to claim the top two scoring
teams in the country this late in the season
in 28 years. The last time two Big Ten teams
played each other while holding down the top
two scoring spots was 1962, when No. 8 Wisconsin beat No. 1 Northwestern.
Ohio State and Penn State are likely to land
multiple punches during a raucous, nationally
televised “white-out” game at Beaver Stadium
. Las Vegas oddsmakers expect the game to be
one of the highest scoring in college football
this week, with a total of 71 points.
“This is going to be a 12-round heavyweight
ﬁght with a bunch of good, talented players on the ﬁeld and two teams with sound
schemes,” Penn State coach James Franklin
said this week. “There’s going to be plays
made. We just have to keep battling and keep
swinging and stay focused on the goal at
hand.”
Saquon Barkley is gone, so Miles Sanders is
getting the chance to be Penn State’s featured
back. He’s averaged nearly 124 yards per
game with ﬁve touchdowns. Veteran quarterback Trace McSorley has been an active part
of the ground attack, scoring six touchdowns
on top of eight passing.

Court in Mason, W.Va.

“We did a lot of stuff right,
but they still didn’t earn a lot
of their points, we gave them
to them,” VanMeter said.
“Whenever we decide to start
doing the fundamentals, staying low and getting our serves
in, we’ll start winning more
games, but as long as we learn
from it I’m okay.”
Wahama ﬁnished with a 38.4
side-out percentage, while
Miller earned a 40.0 side-out
percentage. Wahama had 16
aces and a 91.8 serve percentage, while Miller had a 91.9
serve percentage.
Victoria VanMatre led the
WHS service attack with 18
points, including seven aces.
Harley Roush was next with
14 points and two aces, followed by Alexis Mick with
nine points and three aces.
Gracie VanMeter ﬁnished with
eight points and four aces,
while Emma Gibbs chipped in
with two points.
Gibbs led the hosts at the
net with 10 kills and four
blocks. Mick had four kills in
the setback, VanMatre and
Roush each had three kills
and a block, while Hannah
Billups earned a pair of kills.
Lexi Layne posted one kill for

169-to-151.

Billups led the Wahama
defense with 23 of the team’s
74 digs.
The home side wasn’t a full
strength on Wednesday, missing a key part of the rotation
in Logan Eades.
“Tonight, we had one of
our senior middle hitters out,
and so we had a sophomore
standing in, and she’s kind of
learning on the ﬂy,” Coach
VanMeter said. “That hurt us
several times tonight, I think
that we could have pulled it
out. Not that the one that we
put in there isn’t a good hitter,
but her back row experience is
lacking.”
Taylor Hinkle led Miller
with 11 points, followed by
Josie Perani with eight. Josie
Crabtree and Brooke Dillenger
had seven points apiece,
Brooklyn Wilson added six
points, while Alaina Boyden
came up with ﬁve. Askya

visiting Nelsonville, on

2. In addition to four
offensive touchdowns, the
Marauders scored once
on defense and once on
special teams last Friday.
Ty Bartrum’s interception
return for a touchdown
last week was Meigs’ second defensive score of the
season.
3. The Buckeye offense

From page 6

On the Ohio State side, quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. has
16 touchdown passes — second
in the nation — without having played large chunks of the
second half because three of
the four games were blowouts.
He’s completing 75 percent of
his passes and has shown he
can throw into narrow windows
and rely on Ohio State’s experienced receivers to do the rest.
It also helps that he has one of
the country’s best running back
tandems behind him in J.K.
Dobbins and Mike Weber.
“With Haskins, it’s important just to try to make him as
uncomfortable as you can, get
someone in his face as often as
we can and make him get the
ball out earlier than he might
want to,” Penn State safety
Garrett Taylor said. “If we pressure him, we’re going to do
well.”
Ohio State coach Urban
Meyer has tried to deﬂect some
of the accolades being heaped
on Haskins, whose name is
starting to come up in Heisman
Trophy conversations.
“A quarterback is a production of the offensive line,
and they’ve been playing at a
very high level,” Meyer said.
“They’ve done a very good
job protecting Dwayne this
year. And other than (the
TCU game), we get our hands
on a ball, we usually catch it.
They’ve been very good at that.
Dwayne would be the ﬁrst one
to admit it.”
Penn State avoided an upset
from Appalachian State in its
opener, then routed Pittsburgh
and hung 63 points each on
Kent State and Illinois.
The Buckeyes scored 77
against Oregon State in the
ﬁrst week and blew out Rutgers before pulling away in the
second half for a 40-28 win
over then-No. 15 TCU. Last
week, Haskins did most of the
damage in the ﬁrst half before
Ohio State backed off the gas
and cruised to a 49-6 win over
Tulane.
Now comes the most important game on the schedule for
the offensively proliﬁc teams.
“Once we get our opportunities, we deﬁnitely have to connect and capitalize,” Ohio State
receiver Terry McLaurin said.
“We could get into a shootout.
We have to prepare for that.”

didn’t produce a touchdown last week, but
Walker Elliott found
the end zone twice for
NYHS, ﬁrst on a 98-yard
kickoff return, and later
on an 82-yard interception return.
4. The MHS offense
has thrown for 1,008
of its 1,513 yards this
season, along with 12 of
its 22 total touchdowns.
Through ﬁve games,
Meigs has completed

68-of-125 pass attempts,
with ﬁve interceptions.
5. The Marauders enter
Week 6 at 17th in the
Region 15 rankings, while
the Buckeyes are 23rd in
the Region 23 rankings.
Meigs is one of 15 teams
in its region that enter
the week below .500,
while NYHS is one of
four one-win teams in its
region.

MASON, W.Va. — They
didn’t come out with a win,
but the Lady Falcons have had
a couple of productive days to
start the week.
After taking defending
league champion Waterford
to ﬁve games on Tuesday, the
Wahama volleyball team fell
in ﬁve games to Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division
guest Miller on Wednesday at
Gary Clark Court in Mason
County.
On Wednesday, Wahama
(1-9, 1-9 TVC Hocking) scored
the ﬁrst three points in the
opening game and led by as
many as four points, at 7-3.
Miller — which improved
to 8-3 in the league — took
its ﬁrst lead of the night at
10-9, but WHS immediately
regained the advantage at
11-10.
The guests tied the game
at 11 and again at 12 before
taking the lead back at 13-12.
Wahama tied the game at
20, but MHS rattled off ﬁve
straight points to take the
25-20 win.
Miller took a 5-3 lead in the
second game, but the host
Lady Falcons scored the next
six points. The Purple and
Black regained the edge with
an 8-1 run, but Wahama scored
the next eight points and led
the rest of the way to a 25-17
victory, tying the match at 1-1.
The guests scored the
ﬁrst eight points of the third
game and led by as many as
13 points, at 21-8. Wahama
rattled off 11 straight points,
cutting the deﬁcit to two, but
Miller scored four in a row to
take the 25-19 go-ahead victory.
WHS charged out to a 7-2
lead in the fourth game, but
Miller fought back to take the
advantage at 15-14. Wahama
was back in front at 17-16, but
surrendered the next three
points and never led again.
Miller closed the matchclinching 25-20 victory with a
9-3 run.
Following the setback,
Wahama head coach Matt
VanMeter acknowledged his
team’s errors being a hurdle

Charlotte’s may be NASCAR’s race of the year
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) —
Charlotte Motor Speedway
already has a win for the buzz
it created by taking a bulldozer to its inﬁeld and building
something new to NASCAR.
Charlotte’s “roval” will
debut Sunday in a critical
playoff race — a track unlike
anything used before in NASCAR. It isn’t an oval or a road
course; rather, it’s a hybrid
that uses Charlotte’s existing
speedway along with a winding course through the inﬁeld.
Fans haven’t been this
excited for a race, for a track,
in forever. The 17-turn, 2.28mile course has a 35-foot
change in elevation and everything about it is a mystery
even after a handful of test
sessions.
It is a lurking monster on
the schedule that has terriﬁed
teams trying to guess what to
expect.
“You’re on pins and needles,

afraid you’re going to bust
your butt,” said Jimmie Johnson, an eight-time winner on
Charlotte’s oval.
That is an unsettling feeling
before an elimination race that
will cut four drivers from the
16-driver ﬁeld. Drivers didn’t
like it when Talladega Superspeedway was an elimination
race because the Alabama
track can be so unpredictable.
At least they could formulate a plan of attack at Talladega.
For the roval, no blueprint
exits.
Drivers ﬁgured out a shortcut during a test session in
July when they used an artiﬁcial chicane to cut time rather
than to slow their speeds.
NASCAR and Charlotte ofﬁcials have addressed that, but
other quirks may pop up as
soon as drivers hit the track
this week.
The roval has the potential

to be one of the most memorable NASCAR events in
decades, but it also could be a
disaster or a demolition derby
that makes professional race
car drivers look like comedic
amateurs. Still, the outcome
doesn’t matter — well, it does
for the four drivers who will
be bounced from the playoffs
— because this is already a
winning moment for NASCAR.
Speedway Motorsports
Inc., which owns the track,
was willing to try something
totally different. Racing at
1.5-mile speedways has lost a
lot of its luster, and NASCAR
has yet to hit on a rules package capable of creating whiteknuckled racing. So SMI
made a capital investment on
its own property and came up
with something unique in the
long history of the stock car
series.
They get bonus points,

too, for creating a wave of
panic among teams before the
event.
“I’m terriﬁed,” said Martin
Truex Jr. “I feel really bad for
the guys that are going to go
in there and have to do something. I think everybody is
scared to death of that place.”
The bottom four before
Charlotte are Clint Bowyer,
Johnson, Erik Jones and
Denny Hamlin, and they have
to tackle a track that appears
will be unforgiving and technical. The slightest error may
end in a wrecked race car.
NASCAR was at Richmond
Raceway last weekend for a
playoff race. Everybody talked
about the roval, even in regard
to what they had to do to at
Richmond. A good night at
Richmond eased the pressure
for Charlotte’s mystery track
— but those at the bottom
have no idea how to save their
season.

Mayfield brings brash edge to Browns

David Richard | AP file

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield’s confidence and fearlessness
are already rubbing off on his teammates as the rookie quarterback prepares to
make his first NFL start on Sunday at Oakland.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Baker Mayﬁeld dragged
more than a Heisman Trophy with him into the NFL.
There was other baggage,
including a well-earned
reputation as being cocky,
ﬁery, brash and over-thetop.
He hasn’t changed much.
And that’s what the
Browns love about their
rookie starting quarterback,
who didn’t need long to
ﬁrmly plant his own ﬂag in
Cleveland.
“He walk it,” receiver
Jarvis Landry said, “like he
talk it.”
As Mayﬁeld prepares to
make his ﬁrst pro start in
a few days at Oakland, his
conﬁdence isn’t the only
thing impressing teammates
eager to see if the No. 1
overall pick can build upon
his sensational debut last
week against the New York
Jets — a stunning performance that prompted coach
Hue Jackson to switch QBs.

While he is on the verge
of his ﬁrst visit to play in
front of the Raiders’ notoriously rowdy “Black Hole”,
Mayﬁeld is showing no fear
or signs of complacency.
The 23-year-old did
not speak to reporters on
Wednesday and the only
time he was seen in Cleveland’s locker room was to
grab the playbook out of his
locker.
“He’s been real focused,”
said left guard Joel Bitonio,
one of the team’s captains.
“He’s taken the lead in a few
meetings just because that’s
what the starting quarterback does.”
Sooner than the Browns
or anyone expected, Mayﬁeld has risen on the depth
chart and vaulted from highproﬁle backup and future
QB to the present one.
And while it may have
happened quickly, Mayﬁeld has shown since the
moment the Browns (1-1-1)
selected him he’d be pre-

pared for this moment.
He’s worked hard, shown
humility and remained supportive of Tyrod Taylor,
who remains in protocol
with a concussion that hastened his benching.
Before he was drafted,
Mayﬁeld drew comparisons
to Johnny Manziel, another
Heisman winner who
busted for the Browns. The
Mayﬁeld-Manziel similarities though, seem to start
and stop at their height.
“You hear people say,
‘Oh, he’s Johnny or he’s
this or he’s that,’ but since
I’ve known him he’s been
a great guy,” Bitonio said.
“He’s been in the building.
He’s a conﬁdent guy. I think
people see that as a little bit
of cockiness, but he’s just
conﬁdent in what he does
and he understands you put
in the work and he’s ready
to compete and he’s ready
to play.
“And that’s all you want
in a quarterback.”

Kirkpatrick, Jones to resume Alabama rivalry
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick got to see receiver
Julio Jones’ rare abilities
during practice at Alabama.
They’ve never gone
head-to-head in the NFL,
which is about to change
on Sunday in Atlanta
when they’re paired again
in a nostalgic rematch.
The Falcons made
Jones the sixth overall
pick in 2011, when he
left Alabama after his
junior season. Kirkpatrick was a year behind
him at Alabama, giving
him a chance to cover
him in practice. The
Bengals took Kirkpatrick
with the 17th overall pick

in 2012.
The Falcons (1-2)
and Bengals (2-1) have
played once while they
were both in the NFL.
The Bengals won 24-10
at Paul Brown Stadium
during the 2014 season,
when Kirkpatrick was on
special teams only. Jones
caught seven passes for
88 yards and a touchdown.
Kirkpatrick won’t be
assigned to Jones on Sunday, but he’ll likely wind
up covering him on some
plays, allowing them to
renew their one-on-one
history.
“I just know that
competitive nature me
and him had when I was

down there,” Kirkpatrick
said. “It’s like me and
A.J. (Green). Sometimes
me and A.J. are about to
kill each other in practice.”
The Bengals have
given up a lot of yards in
their ﬁrst three games,
facing offenses that
aren’t as highly ranked as
Atlanta’s. Andrew Luck
and Joe Flacco threw for
more than 300 yards each
in the Bengals’ opening
wins — late turnovers
made the difference.

It all happens here
The Ohio River meanders through
the valleys from the Appalachian
mountains in Pennsylvania to the
Great Mississippi.
Along this waterway is a vibrant
history of indians, settlers, explorers
and such. Today, the river is still
used for transportation of goods and
services, as we see the mammoth
barges making their way with large
quantities of coal and other products
each and every day. But there is
another economic boon from the
Ohio River-Tourism. Tourism has
become a big industry, especially for
the appalachian region we live in.
Small towns all along the the Ohio
River have made this body of water a
means to replace industry that once
stood on its shores.
From Marietta to Cincinnati,
festivals and events are held
throughout the year along the river,
including the Mothman Festival in
6 | Along the River | Fall 2018

Point Pleasant, W.Va., or River Days
in Portsmouth, which marks the
end of summer Labor Day weekend.
In addition to the great festivals,
tourists cannot miss the amazing
artwork that is displayed on the
floodwalls in Portsmouth and Point
Pleasant. These murals, which were
once, just plain boring concrete
walls have become a vibrant, colorful
history book of the local community.
Everything from the early days all
the way up to more recent accounts,
these murals take visitors step by
step through the pages of history.
No matter what your interest,
there is sure to be something this fall
for everyone. From the Bob Evans
Down on the Farm Festival in Rio
Grand to the Gallipolis in Lights in
Gallipolis, or Christmas Along the
River in Pomeroy. In Adams County,
don’t forget Jack Roush Days in
Manchester or the Wheat Ridge Olde

Thyme Herb Fair.While at the Herb
Fair on Oct. 13, don’t forget to drive
on up to the Fourth Annual Otway
Covered Bridge Festival in Scioto
County where there will be great
food and entertainment under one
of Ohio’s historical covered bridges
from the 1800s.
In Pike County, the long running
Beaver Oktoberfest will be held
in October with the First National
Bank Jingle Bell Luminary Parade in
Waverly which will be in November.
So basically within a short drive,
there is an event happening just
about every weekend this fall. Just
drive down the river, take in the
sights and enjoy the festivals and
events happening in our little valley
“Along The River”.

The Ariel
The Ariel, the historic opera house
in downtown Gallipolis, has become
ground zero for the performing arts
in Gallia County. In July of 2005, Ann
Carson Dater purchased the entire
complex containing the auditorium
and presented it to the community as
a permanent home for The Ohio Valley
Symphony and for use as a performing arts centre. The re-dedication of
the facility as The Ariel-Ann Carson
Dater Performing Arts Centre was
April 22, 2006. Home to the Ohio
Valley Symphony, the symphony
began its 29th season in September
2018. November 3 features violinist
Christina Nam performing the Korngold
Violin Concerto. The 15 year-old is
a veteran on the concert stage having already soloed with the Cleveland
and Cincinnati Orchestras. The OVS

paces under the direction of
Keitaro Harada, Associate
Conductor of the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra. Since
Korngold composed scores
for numerous ﬁlms, Maestro
Harada has chosen to program music from a number
of other movie scores such as
Sound of Music, Schindler’s
List, West Side Story,
Raiders of the Lost Ark and
more. Gallipolis resident
and Director of Orchestras
at Ohio University, Steven
Huang will lead The Ohio
Valley Symphony through
their holiday paces on Dec.

regarded as a sold out season
favorite.
The Nina and Pinta return
The Nina and Pinta are
returning to Gallipolis, after
10 years. The Gallia County
Convention and Visitors
Bureau announced that the
boats will be docked in town
from Nov. 2-7. The crew will
be providing guided tours for
groups and individuals from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
During the tour, guests will
be whisked back in time, surrounded by the design and
materials of the historic caravel. Being a ﬂoating museum, there are also exhibits
on each ship highlighting
the history of the Age of
Discovery, navigation of the
era, how the ships were built
and a taste of what life was
like over 500 years ago. The
Nina is a replica of the ship
on which Columbus sailed
across the Atlantic on his
three voyages of discovery to
the new world beginning in
1492. The Pinta was recently
built in Brazil to accompany
the Nina on all her travels.
She is a larger version of
the archetypal caravel and
offers large deck space for
walk-aboard tours. One can
book a tour anytime from 9-6
p.m. Each group has a tour

Gallipolis In Lights
Something special is
lighting the skies around
Gallipolis during the
holidays, making the season
brighter for all. The day
before Thanksgiving, the

Gallipolis City Park ﬁlls
with thousands of people
for an annual lighting
ceremony, which in
2017 included a surprise

thousands countdown to

of the holiday season. A local committee
of residents formed Gallipolis in Lights
with the sole aim of beautifying the town
for the holidays. The committee and a host
of volunteers work year-round preparing
for the following year’s event. And just
days before the lighting ceremony, those
volunteers can be seen hanging lights from
the many trees in the park. Well over 1,500
lighted balls - lights attached to a sphere
made of chicken wire - will hang from the
trees in Gallipolis City Park. There are 160
decorated Christmas trees, live Nativities
scenes throughout the season and an outdoor
audio system. There are also horse-drawn
carriage rides offered around Gallipolis City
Park during the lighting event. The display
runs from the day before Thanksgiving until
about New Year’s Day. Santa’s House is also set
up at the park, allowing the little ones a chance
to deliver their Christmas wish lists directly.

John Gee Black Historical Center is a cultural
and educational center to
insure the preservation of
tradition, culture, crafts,
music and art of the African
Americans in Southeastern
Ohio. The Lambert Lands

Memorial is dedicated to
30 ex-slaves freed by slave
holder Charles Lambert
Jr. of Bedford County, Virginia, in his last will and
testament. In 1843, the
group migrated northward,
crossed the Ohio River and
settled on 365.5 acres in
Morgan Township in Gallia County, Ohio. Gallia
County had more than one
major route for slaves to
escape from the southern
plantations in their quest
for freedom.
Our House Museum
was established in 1819
by Henry Cushing and his
sister Elizabeth Cushing
Foster. It was run as a tavern and inn to travelers.

travelers. Today, it is a place
to see living history. Points
of interest within the museum are General Lafayette’s

jacket that was left behind
during his visit in 1825, the
Summer Kitchen, the Tavern Room and artifacts in
the attic.
For those looking to
take a hike to take in those
autumn colors, literally,
check out these options:
Situated in the foothills
of Southeastern Ohio, Raccoon Creek County Park
is bordered on the north
by Raccoon Creek, the
stream formerly called “Etha
Petha,” the Shawnee word
for raccoon. To the south lie
hills and upland ﬁelds adjacent to the historic Popular
Knob. The park showcases
700 acres of both natural
areas and recreation facilities that afford visitors many
and varied leisure experiences year round. www.oomcintyreparkdistrict.org
The O.O. McIntyre Park
District operates several

outdoor parks across Gallia including Racoon Creek
County Park. Located at
518 Dan Jones Road, the
park features trails sprawled
across 700 acres of natural
and recreational land. Several trails start along Dan
Jones Road past the main
entrance to the park and
explore some of the land’s
more natural side. To learn
more, call the park district
ofﬁce at 740-446-4612.
The Gallia County
Hike and Bike Trail, open
to those on foot and on
bicycles, is set on an old
railroad track going from
Haskins Park in Gallipolis
to beyond Bidwell. The
trail is not contiguous and
is broken in several places,
including at the Ohio 160
and US 35 intersection. The
main portion of the trail,
which has free parking at
both ends, runs between

Bob McCormick Road and
Haskins Park and features a
smooth and level paved surface almost four miles long.
The most wild and yet
likely the most unused trails
in Gallia County are the
two trails located in Wayne
National Forest. At 15
miles, the Symmes Creek
and Morgan Sisters trails do
join together in the middle
and can be accessed from
Symmes Creek Road and
Pumpkintown Road, respectively.
For those looking to put
their paddles in the water
before winter arrives, check
out these options:
In Gallia County Racoon
Creek is the main destination for those wanting to get
out and paddle a kayak, however there is other locations.
Tycoon Lake east of Rio
Grande provides a large area
for paddlers not wanting to

go downstream and provides
easy access in and out of the
water.
If paddling downstream is
still your aim, but you want
an alternative to Racoon
Creek, Symmes Creek also
provides excellent views and
paddling while the water is
high, as do other small creeks
in Gallia. Symmes Creek is
about 75 miles long and runs
through the western portion of Gallia, giving prime
views of countryside farms
and some of Wayne National
Forest.
Swan Creek, which runs
near Swan Creek Road in the
southern portion of Gallia
also provides kayak enthusiasts a chance to get their
oars in the water.
For more information, visit the Gallia
County Convention and Visitors Bureau,
441 2nd Ave, Gallipolis, Ohio, 740-4466882, or at http://visitgallia.com/.

With its 800-seat amphitheater, historic ﬂood wall
murals and 900-foot dock for
vessels of any size, River-

front Park in Point Pleasant
is a “must see” when visiting the historic city along
the Ohio River. The park

Wall Murals, painted by
well-known artist, Robert
Dafford, can be viewed at
Riverfront Park, allowing visitors to witness the history
of Point Pleasant, including
a large sequence depicting
The Battle of Point Pleasant
on Oct. 10, 1774. The murals
portray the lives of the area’s
earliest residents, the Shawnee, as well as lives of those
Europeans who settled in
what was then Western Vir-

ginia. The murals, a project
which began in 2005, was
completed over ﬁve subsequent summers, costing
around $800,000. The paint,
which at the time cost $200 a
gallon, came from Germany
and had a 50-year guarantee
though it was proven to last
150 years.

�Welcome to Vinton County
Vinton County is known
as Ohio’s last frontier with
opportunities to explore,
relax and investigate.
Whether it’s touring covered bridges, visiting quilt
barns, hiking, biking, ﬁshing,
kayaking, camping, or taking
nature photographs, Vinton
County is the perfect place to
unplug and enjoy the scenery.
In addition to multiple state
parks and nature preserves,
visitors can encounter abandoned historical sites and
relics dating back to the early
1800s, hidden away among
the wooded hills of Ohio’s
least populated county.
Points of Interest
Lovers of the paranormal
ﬂock to explore the Moonville Tunnel. Legend had
it, a ghostly lantern can be
seen hovering though the
Moonville railway tunnel on
stormy nights. Moonville was
once a small, mining and railway town which was founding during the 1800’s iron
boom and then disappeared
around 150 years later. It’s
said the tunnel is haunted by
spirits, including a brakeman
who accidentally fell beneath
the wheels of a train.
The 16-mile Moonville
Rail Trail takes visitors
through the beautiful woodlands of southeast Ohio,
including Zaleski State
Forest; the communities of
Zaleski and Mineral; and
the Lake Hope State Park
wetland areas. The corridor
holds water on both sides of
the trail, creating a wetland
area that is home to numerous species of ﬂora and
fauna.
The Lake Hope Forest
Park was created in 1937 as
one of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt’s many Works

projects. It became Lake
Hope State Park in 1949.
The 2,983-acre park and the
nearby 26,824-acre Zaleski
State Forest still possess
remnants of the past - a
past that included a small
iron furnace community.
Contained within this area
are an old cemetery, an iron
furnace, and hints of a ghost
town still linger along the
trails, thick with trees and
wildlife. There are hiking
trails, backpacking trails,
and a 23-mile singletrack
bike trail that was chosen as
one of Ohio’s top mountain
biking trails by readers of
Mountain Bike Magazine.
There is also a dining lodge,
nature center, 66 cottages,
and over 180 camping sites.
The scenic 120-acre lake
provides opportunities to
boat, ﬁsh, and swim.
Lake Alma State Park
was originally constructed
as a private amusement
park in 1903. Although little
remains of the former recreational area, Lake Alma
38 | Along the River | Fall 2018

State Park is now 292 acres
of quiet lake and wooded
areas. The 60-acre lake
offers visitors boating, ﬁshing, a playground, and beach
area. There are also areas for
camping as well as hiking
trails and a paved bike path.
The Hope Furnace was
built over a century ago to
process iron ore from the
surrounding region. At the
time, it was a thriving industry in the county, employing
thousands to cut timber,
mine, and tend the furnaces.
Situated at the heart of
Ohio’s Hanging Rock iron
region, Lake Hope State Park
reﬂects the rich history of
much of Southeastern Ohio.
However, by around 1900
iron had been discovered
elsewhere and Southern
Ohio’s iron furnaces were
shut down. Like the Moonville Tunnel, the furnace has
its own reported paranormal
activity.
The Zaleski State Forest
is the second largest forest
in the system. The Zaleski

State Forest Backpack
Trail was established on the
forest to provide backpacking
opportunities as well as to
introduce some scenic and
historic aspects of the forest.
The main trail is a loop of
23.5 miles. There is also a
10-mile day loop trail.
Tar Hollow State Forest
is Ohio’s third largest state
forest, containing 16,354
acres. A 46-site primitive
horse camp is located at

the south end of the forest
on Poe Run Road. Latrines
are provided at the camp,
but electricity and drinking
water are not available. Radiating from the horse camp
are 33 miles of bridle trails.
All bridle trails are south of
