He says fellow veterans and their family members often stop to exchange thoughts or chat as he walks from town to town. “I don’t have to say much. They know what I’m doing,” he said. “It’s not what I can say that is really important, it’s listening. “It’s a difﬁcult subject to open up on,” he continued. “The number of young vets coming home (from Iraq and Afghanistan) has surpassed Vietnam, and 30 percent of Vietnam vets have PTSD.” While the number of diagnosed Vietnam veterans hovers in the aforementioned range, the lifetime incidence of PTSD symptoms in that group reaches 80 percent. Current U.S. military rates are around 20 percent diagnosed, but Vietnam-era veteran diagnoses increased over time.

The goal is to have the front part of the structure completed in time for the Sternwheel Festival, scheduled for Sept.15-17. A contract was approved for $45,000 to wash, prime, paint and make minor repairs. Gheen’s Painting Inc. of Long Bottom was given the go ahead to begin work. A motion was made by the commissioners to paint the dome of the courthouse gold, its current color. A selection will be made for the color to be used on the structure, all in agreement to keep it “as close to the current palette as possible.” Meigs County Board of Commissioners opened the Aug. 25 meeting with a prayer and Pledge of Allegance led by April Burnem. The commissioners moved to approve the payment of bills in the amount of $17,645.73 of a total of $3,828,440.98. Now and Thens were paid to Franklin County Engineer-K000K13 (County Highway Department) for $17,750 and to Asphalt MaterialsK500K12 (County Highway Department) for $48,366.43. The Meigs County Highway Department will begin Round 31 of the paving and bridge project after gaining approval from the commissioners for the purposed work as presented by the Department. The Rutland Sewer Project took another step forward when the endeavor to repair/install a new system was approved as a Capital Improvement project under the Ohio Public Works program. All three commissioners were in agreement that “this is a priority need for the public.” The commissioners had also moved ahead with a request for an engineer for the Rutland project. After interviewing three “excellent ﬁrms, all well qualiﬁed, the decision was to go with Triad.” The Meigs County Commissioners meet every Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Meigs County Courthouse. — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 — SPORTS Volleyball: 6 Golf: 6 Schedule: 6 — FEATURES Classified: 8 Comics: 9 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Senator lauds Imperial Electric expansion By Michael Johnson michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — News last week of Imperial Electric’s plans to expand its workforce and facilities spread quickly throughout Meigs County and the Ohio Valley. It even went as far as Capitol Hill. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, visited Imperial Electric Co. in Middleport on Tuesday to highlight the company’s recently announced expansion. During his visit, Brown met with company leadership and workers before taking a tour of the plant. Last week, Nidec Corp., Imperial Electric’s parent company, announced a $3.2 million investment in the Middleport plant to keep the facility open and to update aging equipment. “Nidec’s decision to expand Imperial Electric’s Middleport operations is a direct reﬂection of the strength of its Ohiobased workforce,” Brown said. “I’m committed to expanding publicprivate partnerships throughout the state that create opportunities for increased investment in VIDEO ON THE WEB Be sure to watch our video interview with U.S. Sen.

Mark Venoy, plant manager of the Middleport facility, said the company has already begun its expansion by adding 18 new employees. “At this time, we’ve more than doubled our employment here,” he said. “Most of those new employees have already been brought on board and training is ongoing.” Venoy also said local contractors and services will begin working on the physical aspects of the facility. He added that the U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, listens to Meigs County community leaders and business owners during a roundtable discussion Tuesday at Imperial Electric in Middleport. expansion of both jobs and facilities have provided a boost to the morale of the workforce. “The facility was an older facility and needed some attention,” he said. “(Nidec) plans to do some physical things to the facility, such as a new roof, paint and lighting, which will spruce up the place a lot. We have a lot of longtime employees here, those who have been with us 30 to 40 years. They’ve seen what’s happened here and it’s deﬁnitely improved morale.” Pradeep Sood, president of Nidec Corp.’s elevator and drive systems business platform, said the company is happy with its $3.2 million investment. “We’re already seeing beneﬁts of our strategy to modernize the Middleport facility, taking advantage of its central location and highly skilled workforce,” he said.

The 20-megawatt solar ﬁeld in Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio will surpass the 12-megawatt Wyandot Solar Farm in the north-central part of the state. Daryl Stockburger, Bowling Green’s assis- tant utilities director, said about 38 percent of the city’s energy will come from renewable sources once the solar project in complete. That’s up from its current level of about 12 percent. The Blade newspaper in Toledo reported that percentage is 1.5 percent across the state. The Bowling Green solar ﬁeld is the largest within an 80-megawatt project that will be spread across 26 sites that are mostly in Ohio, Stockburger said. “Ohio’s changing rapidly,” Luke Sulfridge, program director for OH SUN, a statewide group that promotes community solar projects. “This will be an interesting year.” The federal Environmental Protection Agency has said the average amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere every year is now more than 400 parts per mil- lion for the ﬁrst time in at least 800,000 years. The White House has promoted a mix of natural gas and renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions. Neocles Leontis, a chemistry professor at Bowling Green State University, said the big picture question is how much carbon dioxide emissions can be lowered. Climate change “is not a question of 20 years from now,” he said. “It’s happening right now.” ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Julia Schultz, Ext. 2104 jschultz@civitasmedia.com Visit us at 111 Court St., Pomeroy, OH, 45769 Periodical postage paid at Pomeroy, OH www.mydailysentinel.com POSTMASTER: Send address changes to The Daily Sentinel, 111 Court St., Pomeroy, OH, 45769. 60673213 �STATE Daily Sentinel Wednesday, August 31,2016 3 STATE BRIEFS the U.S. Marine Corps and received treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

In a federal student tax scam, victims are being told they’re in trouble with the govern ment and owe a debt. Another is leading stu dents to believe they’ve been awarded a grant Do your part! Recycle this newspaper! that they don’t have to pay back, but they have to cover a processing fee to claim it. The third scheme involves fake scholar ships that encourage applicants to send money upfront. “Unfortunately, scam mers have found a way to create fraudulent forms, websites, and marketing materials making claims to have ways to finance the cost of higher education at minimal or no cost,” Guile said. At Miami, students recently were alerted to a scam in which students were told they owed “student taxes” and could be arrested if they didn’t send money. Ohio Attorney Gen eral Mike DeWine has been warning students across Ohio about these scams and said people of all ages can be tar geted. “For a student with limited income, losing money to a con artist can be devastating,” DeWine said. fired 11 shots from an assault rifle and several more from a 9 mm handgun into the homes of the child and a neighbor in Youngstown. The court scheduled a Sept. 17, 2020 execution date for the 39-year-old Drummond. The execution’s likelihood is unclear since the state has struggled to find supplies of lethal injection drugs. Ohio court rules that immunity law covers non-medical help COLUMBUS (AP) — A divided Ohio Supreme Court says the state’s good Samaritan law applies to individuals trying to provide non-medical help in emergencies. The court ruled 4-3 Tuesday in favor of a man sued after his unsuccessful efforts to free another man whose leg was pinned between a truck and a loading dock in Fairfield. Dennis Carter lost his leg after Larry Reese, the man trying to help him, inadvertently caused the truck to roll back and crush Carter’s leg. Attorneys for Reese said he shouldn’t be held liable for the accident because Ohio’s good Samaritan law protects people trying to help in such circumstances. Justice Terrence O’Donnell, writing for the major ity, says the law applies to anyone providing emer gency care or treatment, not just health care profes sionals. OSU tells alumni clubs to fall in line By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS —Ohio State University is requir ing its roughly 150 alumni clubs and societies to keep mum when it comes to dis paraging comments about the school, or risk losing money and other perks it provides them. For the most part, they are signing on. The move comes two years after the school fired its marching band direc tor because of an internal investigation that found a “sexualized culture” in the band, prompting one of its most visible alumni groups to speak out publicly against the university and offer the fired employee public relations and legal help. The university says the band controversy isn’t con nected to the alumni group changes, which it says are stemming from a process that began months before Jonathan Waters’ firing in 2014. All but a handful of clubs have signed on, Andy Gurd, the university’s chief operating officer, said in an interview with The Associ ated Press. “Of course, individual members have every right to speak their minds as pri vate citizens,” Gurd said. “But when representing the university as officers of officially sanctioned organizations, they are serving as ambassadors for Ohio State, and the charter simply requires that they do so in alignment with Ohio State values and pri orities.” Such disparagement clauses are standard in trademark agreements, and they can require users of logos and other perks to give up some free speech protections, experts said. Still, Gary Leppla, a band alumnus and attorney for the TBDBITL Alumni Club — representing alumni of what fans know as The Best Damn Band in the Land — said he was “shocked and disappoint ed” when the club’s board of governors agreed last week to bring the proposal to its full membership this coming Friday. “We might not be allowed to march, we might not be allowed to carry on, we might be disassociated with the uni versity unless we take this loyalty oath,” Leppla said. The group, whose mem bers provide hundreds of public concerts each year, existed even before the university alumni association. It is indepen dently incorporated, has its own logo and owns the “TBDBITL” trademark, Leppla said. The band itself is widely acclaimed for its intricate and inven tive football halftime shows. U.S. colleges and uni versities have become much more aggressive in protecting their brands. Ohio State, with one of the nation’s top athletic programs, one of the big gest student bodies and a global alumni base of nearly half a million, has more to protect than most schools — a brand running into multiple billions of dollars. “It’s very competitive today for universities,” said Lewis Gould, a Phil adelphia-based trademark attorney. “They realize they have to prize and pro tect the reputations they have — which they do through their brand.” �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, August 31, 2016 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW How grandpa balanced a paint can, ice cream cone Grandpa and me and the hardware store made three. A hardware store trip with grandpa always started with a need for a gallon of paint or a certain sized screw and ended with a scoop or two of ice cream. I’d tag along knowing he would reward me with a cold treat if I was good. Good, meaning I didn’t knock over the glass jars that lined the shelves and I kept my lips zipped until old man Cross acknowledged me with a “Well, who do we have here?” like he’d never seen me before. If his wife was running the counter, she’d offer me a homemade hard tack candy from the bowl by the metal cash register that looked like a safe deposit box with numbers on large levers. I’d stroll the dimly light aisles scanning the cobwebbed shelves, the musty smell of damp wood emanating from the ﬂoor where the ceiling was dripping onto it. Michele The thought of that dusty place Z. Marcum Contributing with hand tools and motor parts makes my nose tingle with a sneeze Columnist … but, it also makes me want to run back through that slamming door and hug my grandpa’s neck and not because he bought me ice cream, but because he knew how to balance work with a little play. He knew we’d spend twice as long on a bench outside the ice cream shop as we’d spend inside that hardware store. He knew I didn’t relish accompanying him on such a chore, but that if he enticed me to go, he got to spend a splendid spot of time with me under the shade of a tree. Then grandpa, me and the tree made three. We could’ve made three — made memories inside a superstore, too, but somehow a store that size seems to dwarf the people in my picture. Besides, franchises that offered conglomerations of items from lipstick to turnips didn’t exist when grandpa was alive. You wanted paint or tools, you went to the hardware store. Needed buttons or material to sew a dress, you went to the fabric shop. Gas was only sold at the gas station, hair was only cut at the beauty shop or the kitchen table and ice cream was scooped at the ice cream parlor or an occasional Sunday social. Yes, it meant more buzzing around town, more stops to make, but the upside was when you asked for a yardstick, the clerk didn’t ask what you needed a stick in your yard for and why you couldn’t just break off a twig from your own tree. Employees not only knew the merchandise, they usually knew what you wanted when they saw you coming, just like your favorite waitress at the diner knew you were going to want your coffee with two creams, no sugar and poached eggs. Of course, there weren’t so many coffee choices that they needed to ﬁll an entire wall with the options, either. It was black and you dumped in the cream or sugar as you liked. Stores that specialize in speciﬁc items now are often called boutiques and the upcharge is such that you are tempted to shop the chain stores even if it takes you longer to navigate the mega-store and ﬁnd someone who knows, not only what you are searching for, but which aisle it’s in. I do like my sugar-free, decaf vanilla latte, but, hey, I’d gladly tinker back to a dusty day where bribes were cold and lazy trees provided shade — even if I only had bold or breakfast blend to choose from.

On this date: In 1881, the ﬁrst U.S. tennis championships (for men only) began in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1916, the musical revue “The Big Show,” featuring the song “Poor Butterﬂy” by Raymond Hubbell and John Golden, opened at New York’s Hippodrome. In 1939, the ﬁrst issue of Marvel Comics, featuring the Human Torch, was published by Timely Publications in New York. In 1941, the radio program “The Great Gildersleeve,” a spinoff from “Fibber McGee and Molly” starring Harold Peary, debuted on NBC. In 1954, Hurricane Carol hit the northeastern Atlantic states; Connecticut, Rhode Island and part of Massachusetts bore the brunt of the storm, which resulted in some 70 deaths. In 1965, the U.S. House of Representatives joined the Senate in voting to establish the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Today’s Birthdays: a watchful eye on politicians — what they do, what they say…and what they don’t do or say. They should serve not just the elites, but the underdogs and have-nots in society. The independence of our press was hard to win, and it’s vital that we sustain it. People must have sources they can rely on in order to make our system work. Our democracy needs well-informed citizens making decisions based on facts about both policies and politicians. This means that the model of the journalist that seems to be going out of fashion — reporters who were reasonably objective, independent of outside groups, and even independent of their company’s owners — is actually crucial to representative government. Curious, skeptical journalists who point out inconsistencies, draw attention to mistakes, call out misleading statements, and identify outright lies serve a larger purpose: they provide citizens what they need to know in order to be a good citizen, and public ofﬁcials what they need in order to do their work well. This is quite an ideal, especially in this age of economic turmoil within the media universe. But I don’t think it’s too much to hope that as the profession sorts out its future, it takes seriously its leadership role in advancing the public good, and doesn’t sacriﬁce its part in making representative democracy work properly. Lee Hamilton is a senior adviser for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government, a distinguished scholar in the IU School of Global and International Studies and a professor of practice in the IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

The local restaurants and the local hardware store all do better because people here are making a good wage. That’s why manufacturing is so important to our state.” In 2012, after Nidec Corp. acquired Imperial Electric, questions reportedly arose as to the value of investing in an outdated facility in southeastern Ohio — one that required a major overhaul in terms of equipment so that it could keep pace with Friday, Sept. 2 SALEM CENTER — Meigs County Pomona Grange will meet at 7:30 p.m. at Star Grange Hall, located three miles North of Salem Center on County Road 1.

Brown said he has been a strong supporter of American manufacturing. He authored the Revitalizing American Manufacturing and Innovation (RAMI) Act, which was signed into law in December 2014. The bill created a national network of manufacturing innovation made up of advanced manufacturing hubs to bring together industry, universities and community colleges, federal agencies, and all levels of government to leverage resources and spur innovation. Brown’s ofﬁce also hosts a series of manufacturing camps each summer to get a new generation of Ohioans interested in manufacturing jobs. 8 AM 2 PM 65° 85° HEALTH TODAY AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

Don’t overlook small game hunting. Deer and turkey hunting is a multi-million dollar industry in this country, with entire industries and organizations geared towards separating avid hunters from their hard-earned paychecks, and encouraging the pursuit of animals like white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and elk. These pastimes have put millions and millions of dollars into conservation funds and through the Pittman-Robertson Act, have funded numerous state wildlife agencies allowing the purchase of land and education programs that beneﬁt all wildlife species.

Everything you learn in the woods hunting small game can be applied to other types of hunting, from moving quietly and learning to pay attention to your surroundings. Six: the exercise you get cruising through the woods and ﬁelds, it just does a body good. Seven: the weather in September or October is usually pretty awesome, a little cool in the mornings and pleasant during the day, with plenty of daylight for afternoon hunts. Eight: Rediscover some of your old wild game recipes, or consult the internet for something new. Nine: with all of the different small game seasons going on, small game hunting can literally add months to your hunting season. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, small game hunting is a great way to introduce a youngster or a new hunter to the outdoors, to teach them the basics and to hunt safely. I’m not knocking big game hunting, but between new guns and bows, deer stands, trail cameras, hunting leases, permits and months and months of preparation, feeders and food plots, UTVs and pickup trucks, utility tractors and planters, not to mention all of the paraphernalia that goes along with it – bow and gun accessories, ammunition, etc. – all for the chance, just a chance, of harvesting that one special buck, it is easy to lose sight of what you really love about the outdoors. So leave all of those thoughts and distractions at home, leave the four-wheeler in the barn, grab some old clothes and ﬁll the pockets with shells and hit the woods. Take along a youngster or a new hunter. I promise you won’t regret it. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

Especially in games four and ﬁve. “We’re a young team and we missed 17 serves and 36 hits. We have to focus on getting our hits in and our serves in,” said ﬁrst-year head coach Sarah Wright. “We got down on ourselves when we had some mistakes and that cost us. I made some rotational errors, which I plan to ﬁx. We’re going to work on things tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday in practice and be ready to compete on Thursday.” As for Monday, the Rebels rallied from an 18-14 deﬁcit in the opening game to forge a 19-19 tie, as they then broke ties at 21-21 and 22-22 by scoring the ﬁnal ﬁve points. Olivia Hornsby had a pair of aces, sandwiched around a kill by Taylor Burnette to end the ﬁrst game. After leading 2-0 in game two on back-to-back Burnette aces, the Rebels scored just four more points the remainder of the set. But the Rebels returned from their second-set sleepwalk with an awakening in the third, leading the game until the Vikings went ahead 21-18 — before scoring four consecutive points to regain the cushion at 22-21. South Gallia did have the Vikings at set point 24-22, but a Rebel attack error — along with backto-back service aces by Symmes Valley’s Hannah Gates — put the Vikings back in front 25-24. An exchange of attack errors made it 26-25, as Rachal Colburn collected a thunderous kill for the Rebels to tie it once again at 26-26. Erin Evans ended the third, and pushed the Rebels ahead two games to one, with a jumping tip kill. However, with the tilt tied 16-16 in game four, South Gallia gave away too many serves and scoring opportunities on errors — amassing only 10 points the rest of the way. Hornsby had 13 service points to pace the Rebels, as Evans added eight along with seven assists and ﬁve kills. The sophomore middle hitter Colburn amounted a team-high six kills and two blocks, as Burnette served up a team-high four aces. Burnette was also an excellent 12-of-13 serving for 92-percent, and 50-of60 passing for 83-percent. Gates garnered 22 points with seven aces for the Vikings, while Cierra Ross set for 24 assists. Taylor Webb with 13 kills and Kinley Patterson with a dozen led the Lawrence Countians in kills. Webb also registered four blocks.
