Dayton honors diplomat in peace accords Drug thefts get DAYTON (AP) — The city of Dayton will honor the longtime diplomat who brokered an international peace agreement worked out in the southwest Ohio city with a plaza dedicated to his memory. The city has approved construction of the plaza in memory of Richard C. Holbrooke, The Dayton Daily News reported. The project comes as Dayton prepares to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1995 Dayton peace accords on Bosnia. Holbrooke brokered the agreement worked out in talks at the WrightPatterson Air Force Base near Dayton. The accord stopped a war between Bosnian, Croat and Serb forces in the Balkans of Southeastern Europe. City ofﬁcials have approved construction of the plaza to be built along the Richard C. Holbrooke Memorial bridge. Keith Steeber, a Dayton civil engineer, says the roughly circular plaza will have a 60-foot diameter and enough room for 15 to 20 people. Dayton City Commissioner Matt Joseph said the plaza will likely be dedicated in November and is expected to include plaques with historical information and the ﬂags of the United States and Bosnia-Herzegovina. “It’s going to be a small, relatively simple memorial plaza, remembering Ambassador Holbrooke’s contributions, his wonderful career and also the fact that he negotiated the peace accord here in Dayton,” Joseph said. Event committees are meeting and nailing down locations and logistics for the communitywide celebration of the accords, Joseph said. The Mayor of Sarajevo, Ivo Komsic, is expected to be on hand for a Nov. 17 dinner hosted by the Dayton Council on World Affairs and the Sister Cities organization. Holbrooke died after aortic surgery in December 2010. His widow, Kati Marton, is expected to be at the dedication. No new charge for Ohio escapee on lam COLUMBUS (AP) — A man who disappeared from a northern Ohio prison camp in 1959 while serving time for manslaughter and was found this year in Florida won’t face new escape-related charges in his home state, a prosecutor said. Erie County Prosecutor Kevin Baxter said he decided not to pursue any escape charges for Frank Freshwaters after considering his existing sentence, potential legal limitations and what little evidence might exist to build a case against him in the decades-old escape. All that’s left is really old records, Baxter said. The 79-year-old widower from Akron could face up to 20 years on his original charge, and that allows for “sufﬁcient penalty” if the parole board and prisons department see ﬁt to make Freshwaters serve that time, the prosecutor said. “He’s serving his sentence, and I just think it might be a duplication of resources” to prosecute him again, Baxter said. Freshwaters was imprisoned in 1959 after hitting a man with a vehicle and violating probation. He wasn’t charged when he disappeared from a Sandusky prison camp or years later when he was found in 1975 in St. Albans, West Virginia, Baxter said. Records show then-Gov. Arch Moore Jr. concluded Freshwaters had been rehabilitated during his years as a fugitive living in West Virginia, and he refused to extradite the escapee from that state. Authorities didn’t track him down again until early May, when investigators say they found Freshwaters living off Social Security beneﬁts under an alias at a weathered trailer in rural Brevard County, near Florida’s east coast. He has been held at a prison facility in southwest Ohio and is awaiting the parole board’s decision about his possible release. The board, which had his ﬁrst parole hearing last month, wanted more information about him and referred the case for additional review with no decision expected for several weeks. Prison ofﬁcials have said that Freshwaters declined interview requests from media and that any documentation submitted for the board’s closed hearing isn’t being released. increased scrutiny NEW MIAMI (AP) — Police in a southwest Ohio village are balking at ﬁling prescription drug theft reports because of skepticism about their authenticity. New Miami Police Chief Dan Gilbert tells the Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News the department has seen too many fraudulent ones ﬁled by drug abusers and dealers, who then take police reports to doctors or pharmacies to get more drugs in the village of 2,200 people. “We don’t want to be a part of the pipeline putting more drugs on the streets,” Gilbert said. New Miami resident Cleta Leugers said she was surprised to be rebuffed when she called to report that her anxiety medication had been stolen. “They told me they didn’t take reports because there was so much drug activity,” she said. “I don’t think that’s right.” Leugers blamed boys who cleaned her house for taking her pills. Gilbert said there were some questions about her account, so he decided against making a report. Other departments in Butler County agree there is more scrutiny of prescription drug theft reports. The county north of Cincinnati has been struggling with drug abuse, especially deaths from heroin. Ofﬁcers in Middletown and Hamilton say detectives handle drug theft investigations. If the case seems suspicious, they can take steps to check drug history including with a database that tracks prescription histories. The Ohio Automatic Rx Reporting System (OARRS) was established through the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy and is available to prescribers, pharmacists and law enforcement ofﬁcers. Ofﬁcials say it is a tool to help health care professionals provide better treatment while quickly identifying drug-seeking behaviors. Police in Fairﬁeld say they have given people a form to have the pharmacist ﬁll out that includes a check on their prescription history. They can then bring the form back for a police report. “We don’t get many back,” police spokesman Doug Day said. AP Exclusive: Drilling boom means more harmful waste spills By John Flesher AP Environmental Writer CROSSROADS, N.M. — Carl Johnson and son Justin are third- and fourth-generation ranchers who for decades have battled oilﬁeld companies that left a patchwork of barren earth where the men graze cattle in the high plains of New Mexico. Blunt and profane, they stroll across a 1 1/2-acre patch of sandy soil — lifeless, save for a scattering of stunted weeds. Five years ago, a broken pipe soaked the land with as much as 420,000 gallons of oilﬁeld wastewater — a salty and potentially toxic drilling byproduct that can quickly turn fertile land into a dead zone. The leaked brine killed every sprig of grama and bluestem grasses and shinnery shrubs it touched. For the Johnsons, the spill is among dozens that have taken a heavy toll: a landscape pockmarked with spots where livestock can no longer graze, legal fees running into the tens of thousands and worries about the safety of the area’s underground aquifer. “If we lose our water, that ruins our ranch,” Justin Johnson said. “That’s the end of the story.” Their plight illustrates a largely overlooked side effect of oil and gas production that has worsened with the past decade’s drilling boom: spills of wastewater that foul the land, kill wildlife and threaten freshwater supplies. An Associated Press analysis of data from leading oil- and gas-producing states found more than 180 million gallons of wastewater spilled from 2009 to 2014 in incidents involving ruptured pipes, overﬂowing storage tanks and other mishaps or even deliberate dumping. There were some 21,651 individual spills. And these numbers are incomplete because many releases go unreported. Though oil spills tend to get more attention, wastewater spills can be more damaging. And in seven of the 11 states the AP examined, the amount of wastewater released was at least twice that of oil discharged. Spilled oil, however unsightly, over time is absorbed by minerals in the soil or degraded by microbes. Not so with the wastewater — also known as brine, produced water or saltwater. Unless thoroughly cleansed, a costly and time-consuming process, salt-saturated land dries up. Trees die. Crops cannot take root. “Oil spills may look bad, but we know how to clean them up and ... return the land to a productive state,” said Kerry Sublette, a University of Tulsa environmental engineer and specialist in treating the despoiled landscapes. “Brine spills are much more difﬁcult.” In addition to the extreme salinity, the ﬂuids often contain heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury, plus radioactivity. Even smaller discharges affecting an acre or two gradually add up for landowners — “death by a thousand bee stings,” said Don Shriber of Farmington, New Mexico, a cattleman who wrangled with an oil company over damage. For animals, the results can be fatal. Ranchers, including Melvin Reed of Shidler, Oklahoma, said they have lost cattle that lapped up the liquids or ate tainted grass. “They get real thin. It messes them up,” Reed said. “Sometimes you just have to shoot them.” The AP obtained data from regulatory agencies in Texas, North Dakota, California, Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, Utah and Montana — states that account for more than 90 percent of the nation’s onshore oil production. Ofﬁcials in ninth-ranking oil producer Louisiana and second- ranking gas producer Pennsylvania said they could not provide comprehensive spill data. The spill total increased each year, along with oil and gas production. In 2009, there were 2,470 reported spills in the 11 states; by 2014, the total was 4,643. The amount of wastewater spilled doubled from 21.1 million gallons in 2009 to 43 million in 2013 before dipping to 37.6 million last year.

Commission — and pretty much everyone else — last week when it was announced that not only will the Lakin Correctional Center in West Columbia retain its all-female population (thus retaining jobs), but the state is exploring ways to add additional prison space to house female prisoners. The news is welcome to many in the Ohio Valley who are employed at the correctional facility for women. There had been, for the last several months, talk of swapping the all-female population with an all-male population. Lakin’s female population – about 500 prisoners — would have been transferred to the Sugar Grove Naval Facility in Pendleton County in the eastern panhandle region of the state. After exploring several options, including moving the female inmates to Sugar Grove and the West Virginia National Guard facility in Point Pleasant, West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin opted to keep Lakin as-is, as well as proposing additional space for the inmates in Mason County. Tomblin’s ofﬁce said proposed upgrades and operating costs at Sugar Grove would cost far more than those at Lakin. All of this bodes well for not only Mason County, but all of the Ohio Valley as it means the possibility of additional jobs and local tax income. Gov. Tomblin should be commended for performing his due diligence and exploring all possible options and, above all, keeping and adding jobs to the local economy. Lakin employs people from all across the tricounty region, including Gallia and Meigs counties in Ohio. While there was never a threat of job loss at the facility, the prospect of watching over an all-male population has its challenges. Corrections ofﬁcers are trained to handle both female and male prisoners, but the latter has a reputation for being much more violent. Still, female inmates also present security challenges and corrections ofﬁcers must be no less vigilant with them as they would be with male inmates. And that brings us to the issue of salaries for corrections ofﬁcers. In West Virginia, the starting salary is $22,000 – about $15,000 less than that of federal corrections ofﬁcers. It costs the state about $25,000 to care for one inmate in its prison system, which is a few thousand dollars more than some correctional ofﬁcers are paid annually working to care for those inmates. It’s been reported by our newspapers that some corrections ofﬁcers work second jobs. Their salaries qualify them for medical cards, food stamps and HUD housing. Let’s hope the state addresses this issue next on its agenda. Being a corrections ofﬁcers is a dangerous job. Worrying about putting food on the table is a distraction they don’t need. — Michael Johnson The Daily Sentinel Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

These papers are “merely a shadow of the past when each municipality was well covered.” This isn’t an indictment of the media in New Jersey. Every U.S. newsroom is under pressure to do more with less, and delivering that extra load in a 24-hour news cycle can come at the expense of quality public-service journalism. Another loss: the capacity to cultivate the sources journalists need to cover vital local stories. Local journalism is at its best when it’s community-driven. The News Voices project is about listening to what New Jersey residents have to say about their information needs — and bringing journalists to the table to hear those voices. By teaming up with reporters, members of the public can advocate for the kind of reliable, credible, and timely information they require. We aim to create something that doesn’t yet exist: a constituency for the news. And by that I mean a constituency that not only consumes the news but also advocates for its future.

However, many arborists were able to start a new generation of trees from this famous tree. In the 1930s Eileen Buck, a teacher at Letart Falls Elementary, obtained one of these offshoots and planted it on the school playground. The tree is still there today. There has been a request to mark the tree with a memorial tablet. The project will need more study, and former students of the school are welcome to comment on the project.

River Valley, Southern and South Gallia were all present at the event, with each school competing in both the boys and girls races. RVHS, however, was the only program that had enough runners for a team score in each of the varsity competitions. The Lady Raiders placed third out of four teams with 62 points, finishing ahead of only Meadowbrook (99). Marietta (36) edged the host Lady Warriors (39) by three points for the girls team championship. RVHS sophomore Kenzie Baker defeated 40 other competitors by ﬁnishing ﬁrst with a winning time of 21:56.6, posting the only sub-22-minute mark in the girls race. Leanne Hively (25:43.4) was next for the Lady Raiders in 17th place, while Bailey Hollingsworth (26:37.5) and Julia Nutter (26:54.7) respectively ﬁnished 20th and 23rd. Hannah Nutter rounded out the team tally by ﬁnishing 25th with a mark of 27:24.3. Josie Jones (28:08.7) and Natosha Ranking (29:50.8) were also 28th and 34th for the Lady Raiders.

Mallory Johnson (29:04.6), Kathryn Matson (29:07.3) and Sailer Warden (32:15.8) respectively placed 30th, 31st and 37th for the Lady Tornadoes. Warren won the boys team title with 45 points, edging the runner-up Raiders (47) by two spots. Marietta (69), Southern (79) and Trimble (106) rounded out the ﬁve-team ﬁeld. Cray Sistrunk of Belpre beat 71 other runners to win the individual title with a time of 16:51.1. Jacob Kemper paced RVHS with a ﬁfth place ﬁnish of 18:11.4, followed by Chance Gillman (18:53.8) and Nathaniel Abbott (19:04.2) with respective efforts of ninth and 12th. Garrett Young (19:12.1) and George Rickett (19:59.1) rounded out the Raider tally by placing 13th and 17th.

(AP) — Braxton Miller has clearly found a new home at wide receiver, and No. 1 Ohio State has found another dangerous weapon. Not what the rest of the college football world wanted to hear. Miller scored two touchdowns — one on a 54-yard catch-and-run where he had to tip-toe down the sideline, the other on an electrifying 53-yard run — and the star-studded Buckeyes began their title defense with a 42-24 victory over Virginia Tech on Monday night. “I really would have preferred that third quarterback be over competing for a quarterback job rather than out there as an athlete,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said as the Hokies fell to 0-9 against teams ranked No. 1. “I thought he was pretty special.” Miller made a diving 24-yard reception for his ﬁrst catch since moving to wide receiver, and he only got better as the night wore on. His touchdowns came after the Hokies had taken a 17-14 lead into halftime, the long run including a spin move that left defenders falling down. Wide receiver Michael Thomas watched it happen, and said he thought: “There he goes. That’s Braxton.” Miller said he set the defenders up for the spin Steve Helber | AP Ohio State safety Tyvis Powell (23) intercepts a ball in front of move, which allowed him to run free to the end zone.

The visiting Gallia Academy soccer team beat Ohio Valley Christian 5-2 to secure its ﬁrst win of the season on Saturday in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (1-3) dominated the ﬁrst half of competition, while the host Defenders (1-2-2) didn’t leave without putting up a bit of a ﬁght. The Blue and White leapt out to an early lead after senior Hunter Bennett netted a goal in the second minute of the contest. Ten minutes later, Isaiah Lester scored another goal, with an assist from Logan Carpenter, to go up 2-0. Carpenter scored a goal of his own at the 22nd minute to help the Blue Devils go up 3-0. Senior Zach Johnson booted a goal in the 27th minute to give the visitors a 4-0 advantage going into halftime. Carpenter added another goal in the 46th minute of the match to put the Blue Devils up 5-0, but the home team wasn’t ready to give in yet. Micah Sanders netted the Defenders’ ﬁrst goal of the match at the 75th minute. In the 79th minute, Justin Beaver scored thanks to a long punt from Marshall Hood to put another goal on the board for the Blue and Gold. GAHS led in both shots and shots on goal with 31 and 24 respectively. OVC managed to get 14 shots and eight shots on goal. Dekota Metzger had six saves for the Blue Devils, while Marshall Hood had 19 saves for the Defenders. Gallia Academy had a 5-2 advantage on corner kicks.

Apply At 1113 Washington St. Ravenswood, WV 26164 Daily Sentinel SEC lands 10 teams in AP Top 25 NEW YORK (AP) — The Southeastern Conference has a record 10 teams ranked in the ﬁrst Associated Press college football poll of the regular season. Ohio State remained a unanimous No. 1 after pulling away 42-24 at Virginia Tech on Monday night. The SEC already held the record for most teams from one conference in the Top 25 with eight, a mark it matched in the preseason. After the conference went 12-1 to open the season, No. 16 Texas A&M and No. 25 Mississippi State moved into the poll to go with the eight teams already there. Alabama moved up a spot to No. 2. The rest of the SEC roll call is: No. 6 Auburn, No. 10 Georgia, No. 14 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi, No. 18 Arkansas, No. 20 Missouri and No. 23 Tennessee. POLL POINTS The SEC has been dominating the AP poll in recent years and has had eight ranked teams six times in the regular season and three times in the preseason. The Big Ten and the Atlantic Coast conference have each had a high of seven teams ranked in the AP Top 25. The Big Ten has done it ﬁve times. The ACC has had seven twice. The Pac-12’s high for ranked teams is six, including in this season’s preseason poll and last season’s ﬁnal rankings. The most ranked teams the Big 12 has ever had in the AP Top 25 is six, which happened for three weeks in 2011. DROPPED OUT Teams dropping out of the rankings were Arizona State and Stanford, part of a lackluster 7-5 start to the season for the Pac-12. Wisconsin also dropped out of the rankings after losing to Alabama. STEPPING IN On the bright side of the Pac-12’s opening weekend, Utah moved into the rankings at No. 24 with its victory against Michigan in coach Jim Harbaugh’s debut with the Wolverines. RANKED MATCHUPS IN WEEK 2 — No. 8 Oregon at No. 5 Michigan State. For the second straight season, Ducks-Spartans is a Top-10 matchup that could give the winner a major boost to its playoff resume. — No. 14 LSU at No. 25 Mississippi State. The Tigers get no tuneup after their opener against McNeese State was cancelled because of lightning. — No. 19 Oklahoma at No. 23 Tennessee.

The former Heisman Trophy winner has toned down his partying, but it remains to be seen if he can stay in the pocket on the ﬁeld. Cleveland is banking on an improved defense to keep games close, but a lack of proven offensive playmakers will make it tough to win. The Browns are sporting new uniforms with nine color combinations of brown, orange and white, but their record probably won’t look much different.

DLE: The Browns ranked last in the league in rushing defense, a deﬁciency they hope to ﬁx with the arrival of rookie nose tackle Danny Shelton, a 340-pound run stuffer who has exceeded expectations. Shelton has shown an ability to tie up two blockers at a time, which should allow linebackers Karlos Dansby and Chris Kirksey to rack up some tackles. Defensive lineman Desmond Bryant could be poised for a breakout year. JOHNNY COME LATELY: Manziel was slowed by a sore right elbow — a problem he’s had since college — during the ﬁnal three weeks of the preseason, but the Browns were encouraged by his progress during training camp and the commitment he’s displayed to improve. If McCown struggles or gets hurt, Manziel will get another chance to prove he belongs. So far, he’s looked mostly lost.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, September 9, 2015 Associated Press West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was talking about things his team needs to clean up on offense, defense and special teams. Bill Snyder spoke about Kansas State leaving a lot to be desired in its opener. Holgorsen and Snyder are the Big 12 coaches whose teams opened the season with shutout victories, and among eight of the 10 who are 1-0 in 2015. Welcome to Week 2, the time of the season when most coaches look for their teams to make their biggest improvement — between the ﬁrst and second games. For the ﬁrst time since 2010, every Big 12 team is playing on each of the ﬁrst two weekends of the season. “It doesn’t matter who you play, in Week 2, you’re going to be searching for improvement,” Holgorsen said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “It may not have affected the game on speciﬁc things, but there’s still plenty of things we need to look at to get better.” The Mountaineers, after a 44-0 opener over Georgia Southern, stay home to play FCS team Liberty on Saturday. Kansas State goes to TexasSan Antonio after a 34-0 win over South Dakota. “Collectively, across the board, we just made an awful lot, an inordinate amount of mistakes,” Snyder said. Kansas lost coach David Beaty’s debut after a late bobbled snap prevented an attempt at a long tying ﬁeld goal. Texas opened its second season under Charlie Strong with an embarrassing 38-3 loss at Notre Dame. “The whole effort, we could have played much better, expected to play better,” said Strong, whose team will try to rebound in the home opener against Rice. “We’re just a better football team than we showed.” Also from the Big 12 coaches conference call: ENOUGH PLAYERS: Beaty has about 20 fewer scholarship players at Kansas than the NCAA limit of 85, but said that is no excuse after a 41-38 loss to South Dakota State. Buckeyes From Page 6 “I deﬁnitely did. I set them up,” he said. “I acted like I was looking straight but I seen them out of the corner of my eye.” And Miller wasn’t alone in turning heads.

Punt, Pass, Kick Competition GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Gallipolis Recre- Ezekiel Elliott was virtually untouched in breaking off an 80-yard run and gained 122 yards on just 11 carries. But it was Miller who stood out most. The Big Ten offensive player of the year as a quarter- back in 2012 and 2013, Miller missed last season with an injury to his right throwing shoulder. When he was slow to heal, he removed himself from the three-way quarterback battle. “”This kid’s all about the right stuff and I’m honored to coach him again for a fourth year. I love this guy,” coach Urban Meyer said. The Buckeyes avenged a 35-21 home loss to Virginia Tech last season and earned their 14th straight win overall. The Hokies, meanwhile, lost more than the game, with quarterback Michael Brewer shelved by a broken left collarbone that stalled any hope of a comeback. Trainer Mike Goforth said Brewer will have surgery Tuesday and set the recovery time at “four to six weeks, maybe as many as eight.” The Hokies trailed ation Department will be hosting a local competition of the NFL Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition. The competition will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, at Memorial Field. Pre-registration will begin at 1:30 p.m. The event is free and open to boys and girls ages 6-15 years old. The age will be determined as of Dec. 31, 2015. Boys and girls will compete in separate divisions. Players must have tennis shoes. No cleats (rubber or metal) or bare feet are allowed.

Local winners will compete at a sectional event. The winners of the sectional events will have their score tallied against other state winners to determine if they compete before a Bengals’ NFL Football game.

Motley did lead one late touchdown drive, hitting Isaiah Ford from 17 yards, but by then it was long over. “I feel for Michael,” Beamer said. “You’re talking about a guy who puts so much into it … and then after one play he’s done for a while.” And the Hokies just couldn’t stop Miller and Co. in the second half. Miller ﬁrst had the 54-yard touchdown reception where he nearly stepped out of bounds and tight-roped along the sideline, erasing a 17-14 halftime deﬁcit. Then he had the spin move that Jones said let him know, “he’s back.” The run made it 28-17 with 2:05 left in the third. “I love that spin move,” Meyer said. Jones added a 10-yard TD run in the fourth, and Barrett, who started for Ohio State until he was injured late in the season last year, threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Thomas with 8:14 remaining. The Buckeyes got off to a fast start, but the Hokies battled back. Curtis Samuel made a great adjustment to haul in a 24-yard touchdown reception from Jones, and Elliott’s run made it 14-0. Virginia Tech responded with 17 straight points. Sam Rogers took a short pass from Brewer 51 yards for the Hokies’ ﬁrst touchdown. Virginia Tech then used an interception to set up a ﬁeld goal and a fumbled punt to set up a go-ahead touchdown 15 seconds before halftime on Brewer’s second touchdown pass. 60576582 By Stephen Hawkins KIAC recognizes URG duo Check out the ﬁve-day forecast on the weather page or online at Mydailytribune.com Mydailyregister.com Mydailysentinel.com brought to you by Let’s Talk 60603786 Coaches looking for teams to improve in Week 2 Daily Sentinel About Your GOALS www.fbsc.com 740-992-2136 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
