During a special meeting of the Gallipolis City Commission on Tuesday, Gallipolis City Manager Randy Finney reported on the issue that will “fund infrastructure capital improvements by permitting the issuance of general obligation bonds.” “It’s basically a renewal and this funds all of our OPWC [Ohio Public Works Commission] projects, the Capital Improvement Grant we just got. It funds just about everything,” Finney said. “When we get money, it comes from this fund. So, we really need people to go out and vote for this. [Going out to vote] is really not going to impact them that much, but if we don’t get this passed, it could have some tremendous impacts on our funding down the road. There’s no question about it.” The bond will authorize the state to issue bonds and to financially assist with public infrastructure capital improvements for all local governments, including municipalities such as the city of Gallipolis.

Smith talked about the sign at a dedication ceremony at the Public Use Area below First Avenue in Gallipolis. Although the sign has been in place for several months, organizers had been waiting for warmer weather to conduct the ceremony. Supporters observe Arbor Day, dedicate riverfront sign By Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedial.com GALLIPOLIS — Arbor Day was celebrated by the citizens of Gallipolis on Friday morning as volunteers not only held the annual tree planting ceremony in the Gallipolis City Park, but also dedicated the new “Gallipolis” riverfront sign at the Public Use Area. Gallipolis has been a member of Tree City USA for 19 years and, as a program of the National Arbor Day Foundation, to comply with the standards of the program, Gallipolis must hold an Arbor Day observance each year. This year, a proclamation was read and a black gum tree, donated by the Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District, was planted on the State Street side of the city park. Following, the tree planting ceremonies, those in attendance traveled to the Public Use Area near the riverfront where the new “Gallipolis” sign was dedicated by organizers. Karen Smith, of the Gallipolis in Bloom committee, spoke concerning the conception of the riverfront sign as a means by which to allow those traveling by boat to know where they are on the Ohio River. Smith reported that, after hearing the suggestion for a sign from the America in Bloom judges during Gallipolis’ first year of competition in the program, the idea for a large riverfront sign was conceived, and it wasn’t until a generous donation from the Retail Merchant’s Security Committee POMEROY — The Meigs County Commissioners awarded a contract to Ron Evans Enterprises LLC for repair/replacement of private household sewage treatment systems in the the county in the amount of $20,398.95 at Thursday’s meeting. Two bids on the project were opened at the last meeting, the one from Ron Evans Enterprises and a second from Don Dunfee Excavating for $24,588. Since the low bidder was Evans Enterprises, the contract was awarded Thursday to that company. Funding for the work will come from the Ohio EPA and the work will be done on private households sewage treatment systems as per Meigs County Health Department specifications which were outlined in the bid documents. A final resolution was passed by the commissioners regarding the replacement of a bridge on County Road 2124, which is in Meigs County. It was noted that the county has no financial obligation in regard to the construction project. The director of transportation has requested to proceed with the highway improvement project. Funding for the year in the amount of $6,000 was approved for Meigs County Tourism, and the commissioners also approved $10,000 for the Meigs County Junior Fair Board to be used to enhance entertainment or other activities in hopes that it will increase attendance. Mary Ann Sorden, of the Chester-Shade Historical Association, met with the commissioners to request an increase in funding provided by the county for the expenses of operating the Chester Courthouse and Academy. It was reported that the county provides $1,000 every three months to the group. She reported that the group comes into the new year with a deficit in operational expenses. The commissioners asked for a written proposal from some member of the association, so they could further study the need and determine whether to increase the figure. Jim Stewart, who is president of the Chester-Shade Association, reported on some needed work at the fire station located on land adjacent to the Chester Courthouse and Academy property. He asked for assistance with work on the septic aerator motor and for moving a Dumpster. Commissioners Mike Bartrum and Randy Smith attended. Tim Ihle was unable to attend due to other business.

GALLIPOLIS — As the Ohio Department of Health continues to investigate a growing number of mumps and measles cases in Ohio, the Gallia County Health Department would like to remind community members that vaccinations are the most effective way to prevent illness from vaccine-preventable diseases. Mumps is a contagious disease that is spread person to person through the saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat of an infected person, usually when that person coughs, sneezes or talks. Mumps is best known for swelling of the cheeks and jaw that it causes, which is a result of swelling of the salivary glands. People who show symptoms usually recover after a week or two, but mumps can occasionally cause serious complications. The most common complication is inflammation of the testicles (orchitis) in males who have reached puberty; rarely does this lead to fertility problems. Other rare complications include: Inflammation of the brain and/or tissue covering the brain and spinal cord (encephalitis/meningitis); inflammation of the ovaries (oophoritis) and/or breasts (mastitis) in females who have reached puberty; and deafness.

(AP) — Some educators don’t have a problem with the West Virginia Board of Education conducting a national search for a new schools superintendent. They suggest viable candidates can be found within the state’s borders. Doddridge County Schools Superintendent Rick Coffman told The Exponent Telegram that a wish list for any candidate must include a strong educational background, an extensive resume and a high level of integrity. He said a West Virginian would know best how to run the state’s school system. “They would know our circumstances, our culture and our education system,” he said. Current state schools chief James Phares is retiring on June 30 at age 61 after serving in the position for 18 months. The state board announced April 1 it had hired an Iowa firm to conduct a national search for Phares’ replacement. Mark Manchin, who will take over as Harrison County’s schools superintendent on July 1 after serving as the state School Building Authority’s executive director, said someone from West Virginia will likely be a good fit for the job. “We have outstanding leaders from all over the state,” Manchin said. “I think your first look should be here. “If they come back and say they haven’t been able to find anyone here, I certainly would have no problem with them talking to somebody from outside.” Phares was Randolph County’s Happy Birthday in Heaven above, to a man that we all love.

Smart Spending: Get your groove on, on a budget By Mae Anderson Associated Press NEW YORK — As the air gets warmer and spring blossoms, the season of music festivals is upon us. From Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee in June to Lollapalooza in Chicago in August, music lovers across the country will soon begin to flocking to festivals, which can draw hundreds of thousands of fans. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and spend a bundle, on everything from tickets to accommodations to bottles of water. But with a little foresight, it’s easy to cut down on excess spending and enjoy the music and excitement without breaking the bank. BEFORE YOU GO: Tickets are usually pricey, but If you plan enough in advance, you can at least shave off a little money and buy with earlybird discounts. For cheaper rates, consider if you want to buy a day pass or two instead of a full festival pass. Camping is the cheapest lodging option of course. But if that isn’t an option, or if you prefer to stay at a hotel, book your hotel first, before your airfare, recommends Andrew Young, editorial director, North America of travel site Travelzoo. The cheapest hotel rooms book up quickly, and flights can be more flexible. Also make sure to check for a secondary airport in the region of the festival that might have cheaper fares. And if you have a day or two to spare for your vacation, come a day early and leave a day late, when airfare will likely be cheaper, Young says. The more information you have, the more likely you are to make smart spending choices. Download the festival’s own app as well as apps like Festival Ready, which includes navigation and weather forecasts. Yelp and travel apps like Travelzoo or Expedia can also help you find your way around or get last-minute discounts on spots around town. Carpooling is one of the best ways to save, Young says, and there are even some hidden benefits when festivals seek to reward carpoolers. At Coachella earlier this month, for example, carpoolers with four or more people in the car could print out a sign for their dashboard that said “Carpoolchella,” and were entered into a contest that could result in winning VIP tickets to Coachella for life and other prizes. Check with the festival you’re attending to see if it does anything similar. AT THE FESTIVAL: If you’re committed to saving cash, consider volunteering. That has the obvious advantage of getting you into the festival free, but make sure you consider the drawbacks, Young says. “Those lists often fill up quick, and depending on what’s involved, you may see the festival from a distance, but you may get a little bit of off time,” he says. “Whether you volunteer depends on what your willingness is to work during the festival.” The biggest money drain can be things that you could have brought if you’d just prepared in advance. Water is a big one. It can cost several dollars a bottle, and when you’re out all day in the scorching heat, that can add up. Bring your own water, or if the festival does not allow that, bring a water bottle or CamelBak. Most festivals are required to offer free drinkable water, though it might be well water that doesn’t taste the greatest. Bringing snacks if the festival allows that can save a lot of dough, too. And make sure you have essentials like sunscreen and a hat, so you don’t have to buy them at the festival at a markup. Young recommends buddying up with fellow festivalgoers and dividing up what to bring, so you don’t end up with seven bottles of sunscreen but no Band-Aids. Hemlock Grange hear all about bricks POMEROY — A history of branded bricks and a display of several made in southeastern Ohio was presented by Kim Romine at a recent meeting of Hemlock Grange. Romine noted that in the early 1900s, there were about 1,000 kinds of branded bricks available, some of which were made in the Bend Area. She said Nelsonville had five brick companies and that a brick made there was a first-prize winner at the World’s Fair in St. Louis in 1904. Both Middleport and Mason, W. Va. had brick companies. Romine had on display the many different types of branded bricks, including four made at the Middleport plant. Opal Dyer, deputy, conducted the annual inspection and gave the grange excellent remarks on degree work at the conclusion of the meeting. Members were reminded to continue their collection of pop tabs, used eye glasses and cases, used hearing aid batteries and Campbell soup labels. Rosalie Story, master, conducted the meeting and reminded members that there will be a pizza supper at 6:30 at the next meeting. It was also noted that the baking contest will take place May 1. The county winner will be selected at the Pamona Grange meeting May 2 at Racine. Adelle White, family relations chairperson, reported on upcoming contests. It was decided to buy new fencing for the Grange Fair exhibit. Support From Page A1 Projects that are funded through capital improvement projects include roads and bridges, waste water treatment systems, water supply systems, solid waste disposal facilities, storm water and sanitary collection, and storage and treatment facilities. “It’s something that we really need to get out to the public to make them aware that it is a big plus for us,” Finney said. “It takes care of all the water, sewer and capital improvements that we have to do. We need to make sure that everybody is aware of that and what’s going on with is and we need to get it passed.” If renewed, the amendment will take effect immediately and will allow the state to borrow, over the next decade, no more than $1.875 billion through the issuance of general obligation bonds — bonds that must be paid back within 30 years. Those who do no support Issue 1 argue that it will increase the state’s indebtedness to pay for public infrastructure capital improvement and will mean that all Ohio taxpayers will be paying interest on those bonds to cover these local government projects. Supporters of the amendment, however, state that Issue 1 will bring needed repairs to deteriorating roads, bridges and other facilities, while not increasing taxes. According to information provided on the Ohio Secretary of State’s website, the bipartisan-supported amendment will not increase taxes as “funds to repay project bonds are already built into state budget planning” and “Ohio’s strong finances and excellent bond ratings make Outbreaks of MMR — to get vaccinated. “Immunization is the most effective way to protect yourself and your family from vaccine-preventable diseases,” said Dr. Gerald E. Vallee, Gallia County health commissioner. “In addition, to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, such as mumps and measles, wash your hands often, cover your cough and stay home when you are ill.” The Gallia County Health Department supports the vaccine recommendations set forth by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These recommendations include vaccination schedules for when individuals (children and adults) should receive their vaccinations. To access the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended immunization schedules, visit: www. cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/index. html. The Gallia County Health Department encourages everyone to consult with their health care provider or health department if they have questions regarding their immunization status. For more information about mumps and measles, visit the ODH website at www. odh.ohio.gov, or call the health department at (740) 441-2018. From Page A1 To date the Ohio Department of Health has reported 271 cases of mumps in Ohio. Measles is a contagious respiratory disease caused by a virus. The disease of measles and the virus that causes it share the same name. The disease is also called rubeola. Measles virus normally grows in the cells that line the back of the throat and lungs. Measles causes fever, runny nose, cough and a rash all over the body. About one out of 10 children with measles also gets an ear infection, and up to one out of 20 gets pneumonia. About one out of 1,000 gets encephalitis, and one or two out of 1,000 will die. On Friday, 16 cases of measles were confirmed among Amish in the Knox County area of north-central Ohio.

The teeth-gnashing over who is “Latino” or “Hispanic” — and whether those designations constitute their own racial classification on census forms — will, hopefully, be far behind us. No more being incorrectly referred to as “Latin” or “Spanish” — one referencing ancient Rome, the other, either a native of Spain or the language. Neither accurately describes, say, a U.S.born citizen of Colombian descent. No more having to explain where your mom and dad are from, no more competition between Cubans and Dominicans or Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. Just any of the current U.S. Census racial classifications. There are those who fear such a future — one in which Hispanic identity isn’t codified in a census category that can be used to clonk non-Latinos over the head about potential voting power. But the rest of us will be fine with Hispanics being filtered out into the other racial classifications. Oh, there will be some who rebel, preferring to make a political statement about their personal identity. But globalization and intermarriage rates herald a time of no longer focusing on ethnic labels. Consider: People magazine just named actress Lupita Nyong’o, who won an Academy Award for her role in “12 Years a Slave,” as this year’s “Most Beautiful Woman.” I only found out she is Mexican because my mother — the Mexican in our Mexican/Ecuadorean/American family — told me, with more than a hint of national pride. Nyong’o was born in Mexico City, raised in Kenya and now lives in Brooklyn. Yes, technically, here in the U.S., she is Hispanic — she even speaks Spanish. But when she’s out being a wonderful role model to young women and talking about self-acceptance of her skin color and hair texture, she’s really speaking about the AfricanAmerican experience. And that’s great. Now take stand-up comedian Louis C.K. At the risk of offending the small slice of the population who fanatically prefers the term Caucasian, he’s white. Not widely known (and not that it should make any difference) is that though the comedian obviously gets most of his looks from his Irish mom, his father was born in Mexico and his father’s family still lives there. Louis C.K. himself has dual citizenship with Mexico. The color brown, so versatile, can go either way and it simply blends in as it gets mixed with the major races. My two cousins, like me, are U.S.-born, with parents each from Mexico and Ecuador. Look at our three families’ children, though, and you see three distinct races. My husband is white and so are my two sons. One cousin married a Filipina and has three sons who are, for all intents and purposes, Asian. My other cousin has two daughters who are African-American. We all love each other and aren’t hung up on what percentages are this or that or where we’re “really” from, or what the kids “really” are. In a few more years, as more and more Hispanics intermarry with people of other races, their ancestral distinctions will become like the Irish and Italians — important personally, but not on a census form or for social standing. Not everyone agrees, of course. In a paper recently making the rounds among Hispanics, Nicholas Vargas, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Dallas, argues that though some scholars predict Hispanics in the U.S. may soon be classified as white, much like Eastern European immigrant groups in the early 20th century, he doubts it. Though “some groups may be able to move up or down the white-imposed racial hierarchy,” Vargas believes that Hispanics are not always perceived as white by others and choose inaccurate racial labels depending on personal perception, and that “the recent and impending contentious debates over immigration and legality across the country may solidify even more the racial boundary between whites and Latina/os.” Maybe. Or maybe we should just hope the U.S. Census simplifies its labeling system. As for us, we should trust in the melting pot to do its historically excellent job of making such distinctions nothing more than background information. Affirmative action has opened doors for disadvantaged minorities and made this a fairer, more equal society. The Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts apparently wants no more of that. This week’s big ruling — upholding a Michigan state constitutional amendment that bans public universities from considering race in admissions — claims to leave affirmative action alive, if on life support. But the court’s opinion, ignoring precedent and denying reality, can only be read as an invitation for other states to follow suit. Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s thundering dissent should be required reading. She sees what the court is doing and isn’t afraid to call out her colleagues on the disingenuous claim that the ruling in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action is limited in scope. It has implications that go beyond college admissions to other areas, such as voting rights, where majorities seek to trample minority rights. By “rights,” I mean not affirmative action but the principle, upheld repeatedly by the court, that the political process should be a level playing field. In Michigan, with the high court’s blessing, anyone who wants to advocate for affirmative action is at a disadvantage. Instead of banning the policy outright — which would at least be honest — the court paints it with a bull’s-eye and strips it of defenses. The case involves the University of Michigan, my alma mater, by the way, which has spent nearly two decades trying to defend taking race into account, Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Such is the Supreme Court’s ruling this week on affirmative action. It upheld a Michigan referendum prohibiting the state from discriminating either for or against any citizen on the basis of race. The Schuette ruling is highly significant for two reasons: its lopsided majority of 6-2, including a crucial concurrence from liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, and, even more important, Breyer’s rationale. It couldn’t be simpler. “The Constitution foresees the ballot box, not the courts, as the normal instrument for resolving differences and debates about the merits of these programs.” Finally. After 36 years since the Bakke case, years of endless pettifoggery — parsing exactly how many spoonfuls of racial discrimination are permitted in exactly which circumstance — the court has its epiphany: Let the people decide. Not our business. We will not ban affirmative action. But we will not impose it, as the Schuette plaintiffs would have us do by ruling that no state is permitted to ban affirmative action. Eleven years ago, the court rejected an attempt to strike down affirmative action at the University of Michigan law school. The 2003 Grutter decision, as I wrote at the time, was “incoherent, disingenuous, intellectually muddled and morally con- Sunday Times Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers -+6�:9=>+1/�:+3.�+>��+663:963=L��/7,/<N�$2/��==9-3+>/.� </==M�>2/�'/=>� &3<1383+� </==��==9-3+>398M�+8.�>2/� master: Send address corrections to >2/��+663:963=��+36C�$<3,?8/M�� �$23<.� �@/8?/M��+663:963=M���� �L Subscription Rates �88?+6� �3@3>+=� :<3-/� 09<� $2/� #?8.+C�$37/=[#/8>38/6�3=�Ǎ� �L� 200 Main Street Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Sotomayor’s dissent recounts the long history of attempts by majorities to change the political process in order to deny racial and ethnic minorities the chance to achieve their goals. The court has recognized a duty to protect the process rights of minorities — until now, apparently. Once she dispenses with the other side’s legal arguments, the court’s first Hispanic justice — Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican descent — gets personal. Race matters, she writes, “for reasons that really are only skin deep, that cannot be discussed any other way, and that cannot be wished away.” She goes on, “Race matters to a young man’s view of society when he spends his teenage years watching others tense up as he passes, no matter the neighborhood where he grew up. Race matters to a young woman’s sense of self when she states her hometown, and then is pressed, ‘No, where are you really from?’ … Race matters because of the slights, the snickers, the silent judgments that reinforce that most crippling of thoughts: ‘I do not belong here.’” To young people of color, the Roberts court replies: Maybe you don’t.

The university is governed by an elected board of regents, some of whose members have campaigned on their views for or against affirmative action. Opponents of what they call “racial preferences” tried but failed to elect enough like-minded regents to end the practice, so they proposed an amendment to the state Constitution that says Michigan’s public universities “shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.” Voters approved the measure in 2006 by a wide margin. This may sound reasonable, even admirable, but here’s the problem: With the amendment, voters changed the political process in a way that unfairly burdens racial minorities. There was, after all, an existing process for influencing the university’s admissions policies. You could lobby the regents. You could run ads to pressure the board. You could campaign for board candidates who shared your views. You could run to become a regent yourself. You can still do any of these things if you want to want to influence the university’s admissions policies in any other way — if you want, say, more places reserved for “legacy” applicants who are the sons and daughters of alumni. But if you want to influence the board in favor of race-sensitive admissions, you have only one option: an onerous, expensive and almost surely futile attempt to amend the state Constitution yet again. As Sotomayor writes, “The effect Michael Johnson Content Manager fused” — and exactly what the country needed. The reasoning was a mess because, given the very wording of the Equal Protection Clause (and of the Civil Rights Act), justifying any kind of racial preference requires absurd, often comical linguistic contortions. As Justice Antonin Scalia put it in his Schuette concurrence, even the question is absurd: “Does the Equal Protection Clause … forbid what its text plainly requires?” (i.e., colorblindness). Indeed, over these four decades, how was “equal protection” transformed into a mandate for race discrimination? By morphing affirmative action into diversity and declaring diversity a state purpose important enough to justify racial preferences. This is pretty weak gruel when compared to the social harm inherent in discriminating by race: exacerbating group antagonisms, stigmatizing minority achievement and, as documented by Thomas Sowell, Stuart Taylor and many others, needlessly and tragically damaging promising minority students by turning them disproportionately into failures at institutions for which they are unprepared. So why did I celebrate the hopelessly muddled Grutter decision, which left affirmative action standing? Because much as I believe the harm of affirmative action outweighs the good, the courts are not the place to decide the question. At its core, affirmative action is an attempt — noble but terribly flawed, in my view — at racial restitution. The issue is too neuralgic, the history too troubled, the ramifications too deep to be decided on high by nine robes. As with all great national questions, the only path to an enduring, legitimate resolution is by the democratic process. That was the lesson of Roe v. Wade. It created a great societal rupture because, as Ruth Bader Ginsburg once explained, it “halted a political process that was moving in a reform direction and thereby, I believe, prolonged divisiveness and deferred stable settlement of the [abortion] issue.” It is never a good idea to take these profound political questions out of the political arena. Which is why the 2003 Grutter decision was right. Asked to abolish affirmative action — and thus remove it from the democratic process — the court said no. The implication? The people should decide. The people responded accordingly. Three years later, they crafted a referendum to abolish race consciousness in government action. It passed overwhelmingly, 58 percent to 42 percent. Schuette completes the circle by respecting the constitutionality of that democratic decision. As Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the controlling opinion: “This case is not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it.” And as Breyer wrote: “The Constitution permits, though it does not require … race-conscious programs.” Liberal as he is, Breyer could not accept the radical proposition of the Schuette plaintiffs that the Constitution demands — and cannot countenance a democratically voted abolition of — racial preferences. This gives us, finally, the basis for a new national consensus. Two-thirds of the court has just said to the nation: For those of you who wish to continue to judge by race, we’ll keep making Jesuitical distinctions to keep the discrimination from getting too obvious or outrageous. If, however, you wish to be rid of this baleful legacy and banish race preferences once and for all, do what Michigan did. You have our blessing. �Sunday, April 27, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î�� Obituaries SHERRIE LINN FENDERBOSCH GALLIPOLIS — Sherrie Linn Fenderbosch, 63, of Gallipolis, died Thursday, April 24, 2014, at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tenn.

(AP) — About 25 dead cats found in plastic bags hanging from trees in a New York suburb were apparently killed with blows to the head at various times over the past year, an investigator said Friday. Ernest Lungaro, director of enforcement at the Westchester County SPCA, said necropsies on three of the cats revealed blunt trauma to their skulls. “Pretty disturbing, smashing their heads in and displaying them like that,” he said. “We have found, in the past, cases where cats were poisoned, but we’ve never seen anything where they’re killing them this violently.” Lungaro said a baseball bat, two shovels and a metal pipe were found near the scene in a wooded area just off Overlook Terrace in Yonkers, about a mile and a half north of the Bronx. He said investigators were not yet sure that those items had been used in the killings. It also wasn’t known if the killings were the work of one or more people, he said. Either way, they are disturbing because of studies that indicate a link between the killings of animals and violence against people, Lungaro said. “The sheer number of cats that were killed with blunt trauma to the head, it’s pretty violent,” he said. Some of the cats were just skeletons and some had been dead only three days, Lungaro said. The necropsies were done on the most recently killed animals. The strange scene was discovered Thursday by a public works crew doing an annual cleanup. The SPCA was called in and counted 25 bodies, Lungaro said. “We assume there were probably more than that because raccoons or whatever wildlife probably got to a couple of them,” he said. He said the necropsies suggest the cats were killed before they were put into bags. Yonkers police and the SPCA are investigating. Lungaro said some people were being questioned but he would not say whether there was a suspect. He said there are many feral cats in the area and there has been some tension over feeding stations that some residents have established. “Some people get frustrated with the people who feed them,” he said. He said it was possible the dead cats were put in the trees “to taunt the people that are feeding the cats.” A Maryland organization called Alley Cat Allies, which supports neutering programs for feral cats, offered a $750 reward for information leading to an arrest Lungaro cautioned, however, that investigators had not yet established that the dead cats were feral. There has been no string of missing pets, he said, but “we are starting to get calls from people whose pets were lost.” -62E96Cî�92??6=îD6?5Dî�6EE6DîE@î492D6îE@C?25@6D By David Bauder Associated Press NEW YORK — The Weather Channel is sending meteorologist Mike Bettes back out to chase tornadoes less than a year after he was hurt when an Oklahoma storm sent his SUV tumbling, but this time from a safer vantage point. Bettes will hit the road starting Monday for “Tornado Week,” his network’s version of “Shark Week” that’s usually its biggest scheduled programming event of the year. So far, this year has been an historically quiet tornado season. “I was very hesitant as to whether I would get back out there,” Bettes said. “But time has passed, and time heals all wounds. My family has been supportive, my co-workers have been very supportive, and I’ve gotten a lot of messages from our viewers who have said, ‘Mike, get back on that horse. Tornadoes are in your blood.’” A tornado left him bleeding last May 31 in El Reno, Okla., when his chaser vehicle was caught in the wind. One of his cuts required stitches in his left hand, and he swallowed some glass, but his injuries and those of camera operator Brad Reynolds were considered minor. Driver Austin Anderson had a cracked sternum, five broken ribs and a broken cervical vertebra and required surgery. Bettes said he thought he would regret it if he didn’t get back on the road. It’s not for the thrill; he said it’s important to warn communities because some people don’t take the danger seriously until they see a storm. This year, though, he’ll keep a greater distance between himself and any tornado. “Being close isn’t always an advantage,” he said. “We have expensive cameras with telephoto lenses that can fill up an entire screen with a tornado. We don’t have to be right next to the tornado.” The Weather Channel also won’t chase tornadoes in metropolitan areas, like Oklahoma City. Regions with more density and traffic can make an escape more complicated if the storm takes a sudden turn, he said. Even while caught up in the tornado last year, his team’s mounted camera kept operating and the network aired the footage. It largely showed a black screen with audio of crashes until the camera came to rest with the picture sideways. “It made me a little sick to my stomach to watch it,” Bettes said. “I felt like I was watching my death.” “Tornado Week” will include a special about chasers caught up in the El Reno tornado. A new series, “Tornado Alley,” will premiere with storm footage, survivor tales and computer graphics to simulate actions of certain tornadoes (Monday, 9 p.m. EDT).

The Mustang School Board in suburban Oklahoma City voted this month to place the Museum of the Bible’s curriculum in its schools as an elective for a one-year trial after being assured that the intent is not to proselytize but to use the Bible to explain key principles in the arts and sciences. While the course does explain the inspiration behind famous works of art and holds a prism to historical events, it also endorses behavior for religious reasons and implies that bad things happen as a direct result of disregarding God’s rules. The Associated Press obtained a draft copy of the curriculum from the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma, which got it from the school district. The ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation say using the curriculum raises constitutional issues and want the school district to reconsider. The course is promoted by Green, the executive for the crafts store chain who is also a member of the Bible museum’s board. Green, who has said he wants the program in thousands of schools by 2017, declined to speak to the Associated Press. AP Photo This photo shows a textbook by the Museum of the Bible which will be used for a new elective course starting in Fall 2014 at the suburban Oklahoma City Mustang School District high school in Mustang, Okla. The curriculum, supported by Hobby Lobby chain president Steve Green and billed as a way to teach archaeology, history and the arts through Bible stories, also tells students God is always there in times of trouble and that sinners must “suffer the consequences” of disobeying. “This is not about a denomination, or a religion, it’s about a book,” Green told Mustang school board members last November. “We will not try to go down denominational, religioustype roads.” Among the topics covered by the curriculum are the role of religion in early America, discussing the New World as a haven for those seeking to escape religious persecution. It also talks about the role of religion in art, citing the role of patrons such as the Catholic church and wealthy families during the Renaissance. The book also uses popular culture, mentioning songs written by U2 that it says are based in the Psalms, to illustrate the Bible’s modern relevance. It does not name specific compositions. From the outset, the book describes God as eternal, “faithful and good,” ”full of love” and “an ever-present help in times of trouble.” “The first pages of the Bible spotlight God’s desire for justice and a just world,” the second chapter says, but adds, “When humanity ignores or disobeys his rules, it has to suffer the consequences.” The course also says people should rest on the Sabbath because God did so after six days of creation. Green’s stores, following the same principle, are closed on Sunday. Hobby Lobby and a sister company, the Mardel bookstore chain, also sued the federal government after the passage of the Affordable Care Act claiming that providing certain types of birth control to its workers would violate the religious freedom rights of the company’s owners. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on the case last month. Andrew Seidel, a lawyer with the Freedom From Religion Foundation, wrote to the Mustang district this week complaining that “negative aspects” of God, such as jealousy or punishing children for the actions of their parents, are not mentioned in the course. The book phrases contradictory questions and an- swers — such as references to the Israelites being slaves — in ways designed to favor Christianity, Seidel said. He said it also poses Christian thought as rhetorical questions, such as asking, “How do we know that the Bible’s historical narratives are reliable?” rather than, “Is the Bible historically accurate?” “They assume the answer in the question and stifle all scholarly discussion,” Seidel said. Dr. Mark Chancey, a professor of religious studies at Southern Methodist University who reviewed the curriculum at the AP’s request, said it lacked scholarly insight. “It’s more of a very basic background book,” he said, adding that he found the curriculum “full of land mines” and used scripture from only one tradition, evangelical Protestantism. The superintendent of Mustang schools, Sean McDaniel, said if the board believed the curriculum crossed a line it wouldn’t have approved the course. “We’re not asking kids to believe the stories,” McDaniel said. “This is a purely academic endeavor. If it turns into something beyond that, either we will correct it or we will get rid of it.” Brady Henderson, the legal director of the ACLU of Oklahoma and a Sunday school teacher, said the Green family’s goal is transparent and inappropriate. “They’ve been outspoken on this and one of their concerns with modern American life is that many biblical teachings aren’t taught enough,” Henderson said. “The deeper we get into it, the more red flags we see.” Arrest warrant issued for Ohio ex-deputy treasurer Nirva Dube, MD, Internal Medicine, Agnes A. Enrico-Simon, MD, Family Medicine/Pediatrics, and Christina Webb, MD, Family Medicine/Pediatrics Announcing the Group Practice of COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Prosecutors on Friday issued an arrest warrant for a former Ohio deputy treasurer who pleaded guilty in December to federal charges in a kickback scheme, after receiving information he violated terms of his release. Amer Ahmad, 39, faces up to 15 years in prison for bribery and conspiracy. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Columbus said that U.S. marshals were searching for Ahmad. Ahmad was released on bail until he could be sentenced but surrendered his passport. A message seeking comment was left with Ahmad’s attorney, Karl Schneider. Schneider filed a motion March 11 asking for more time to submit objections to a pre-sentence investigation report. “There are several issues and facts that need to be thoroughly reviewed and researched that are multifaceted and could have an effect on Ahmad’s ultimate sentence,” he said. U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson had given him until Tuesday. The arrest warrant unsealed by Watson on Friday listed Ahmad’s address in Chicago, where he served as comptroller under Mayor Rahm Emanuel until resigning in July. Court records indicate that between 2009 and January 2011, Ahmad, friend Mohammed Noure Alo, Cantonbased financial adviser Douglas E. Hampton and mortgage broker Joseph M. Chiavaroli conspired to use Ahmad’s position at the state treasurer’s office to enrich themselves and their businesses by securing lucrative state business. Ahmad funneled official broker services business from the state to Hampton in return for payments. Public documents later showed then-Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce, a Columbus Democrat, learned just after losing the 2010 election that Ahmad was under federal investigation yet proceeded to recommend him for the Chicago job. Boyce is now a member of the Ohio House. Pleasant Valley Hospital Primary Care Pleasant Valley Hospital is pleased to announce the opening of Pleasant Valley Hospital Primary Care.

Blue Devils clinch 4th straight SEOAL title By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — Some things are worth the wait. It took a dozen innings, but the Gallia Academy baseball team became the first program since league play started in 1941 to ever win four consecutive Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championships Friday night following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over visiting Portsmouth at Bob Eastman Ball Field in Gallia County. The host Blue Devils (10-3, 7-1 SEOAL) earned at least a share of the 2014 crown with their extrainnings triumph, but the Trojans (1-5 SEOAL) did everything in their power to prevent GAHS from making history at their expense. Both teams had 43 at-bats apiece in the contest and each squad left at least a dozen runners stranded on base in the 12-inning affair. PHS left 12 runners on the bags, while the hosts stranded 14 in the contest. The game was scoreless through four innings of play, then both squads broke into the scoring column with a run in the fifth — which led to the one-all tie that ensued throughout the evening. GAHS, however, caught its big break in the bottom of the 12th as the hosts loaded the bases without giving up an out. Gage Childers started the game-winning rally with a single, then advanced to second after Gustin Graham reached safely on an error. Anthony Sipple followed with a bloop single that loaded the bases, then Seth Wills smacked a fly ball to straight away centerfield for the only out of the frame. Childers tagged from third on the catch and slid safely into home plate for the game-clincher, which sparked a pile-on celebration for the Blue Devils. Jackson — which claimed an 11-0 win over Logan Friday night — is the only team that can still share this year’s SEOAL title with GAHS. The Ironmen (5-1 SEOAL) still have a home-and-home series to complete with Warren next week. Friday’s victory secured the fifth SEOAL championship for 11th-year Gallia Academy skipper Rich Corvin, as well as the program’s 14th overall. Only Athens, with 24, has more baseball championships in league history. Gallia Academy senior Gage Childers, middle, is swarmed by teammates after scoring the game-winning run in the 12th inning of Friday night’s 2-1 victory over visiting Portsmouth at Eastman Ball Field in Centenary, Ohio. Corvin spoke afterwards about the significance of this four-peat and how much effort went into making it a reality. He also shared nothing but praise for his counterparts from Scioto County. “Wins are wins, rather they go five innings, seven innings or 12 innings — and we’ll take them any way we can get them. There is no easy win for us because we get everybody’s best effort due to the success that we’ve had over the last few years,” Corvin said. “I do want to say that my hat goes off to those guys at Portsmouth because they were ready tonight and gave us everything they had.” See TITLE | B2 Eastern Lady Eagles edge Warren, 2-1 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — A pitchers duel with a little drama. The Eastern Lady Eagles scored with one out in the sixth and earned a 2-1 triumph over non-conference guest Warren, Thursday night at Don Jackson Softball Field. The Lady Warriors began the game with a bang, a leadoff solo homer by Murdock to take the 1-0 lead. The Lady Eagles countered in the bottom of the first when Grace Edwards connected with a solo homerun of her own to tie the game. The next four frames passed with out a run crossing the plate but Eastern senior Paige Cline changed that in the sixth inning when she singled and came home to score on Erin Swatzel’s double. Warren (14-1) was unable to answer in the top of the seventh and EHS took the 2-1 triumph. Grace Edwards earned the victory after allowing just one run on five hits, while walking none and striking out six. Higgins suffered the loss after pitching 5.1 innings and allowing two runs on four hits. Schaffer record the final two outs in the circle for the Lady Warriors. Erin Swatzel led the Green and Gold whit two hits, a double and a single, followed by Grace Edwards with a homerun and Paige Cline with a single. Cline and Edwards each scored in the game, while Swatzel and Edwards both scored. Lynch marked a pair of singles, for WHS, Murdock had a homerun, while Schaffer and Coffman both singles. Murdock marked the lone RBI and run scored. Eastern is now 5-1 in non-league games. �&@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Page B2 LîSunday Times Sentinel Sunday, April 27, 2014 Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports AT LEFT, Meigs starter Cameron Mattox (8) delivers a pitch during the fourth inning of Thursday night’s TVC Ohio baseball contest against Nelsonville-York in Rocksprings, Ohio.

Meigs countered with four runs in its half of the third to wrap up the scoring at its 11-run outcome. The Marauders outhit NYHS by a sizable 13-1 overall margin and neither team committed an error in the game. The Buckeyes stranded just two runners on after an inning of play and never looked back.

The Buckeyes (2-8, 1-4) broke Meigs then added an insurance run in the sixth for its biggest lead of the night at 9-0. The Lady Buckeyes (2-7, 0-5) rallied for a run in the top of the seventh when Patton scored on a single by Kelley, but the guests ultimately never came closer the rest of the way.

Gallia Academy countered in the bottom of the fifth with a one-out single from Matt Bailey, who then stole second and advanced to third on an overthrow. Childers lifted a fly ball to right center for the second out of the inning, but Bailey tagged and scored to knot things up at one after five complete. Portsmouth left runners in scoring position in every inning except the seventh, eighth and 10th frames, while the hosts stranded runners in scoring position in every inning except the third, eighth and 11th. GAHS also left the bases loaded with one out in the sixth. The Blue Devils — who are 36-4 in SEOAL play over the last four seasons — outhit the guests by an 11-8 overall margin and committed two errors in the contest, compared to three errors by the Trojans. Gustin Graham — a Miami of Ohio signee — was the winning pitcher of record after allowing no runs, four hits and two walks over seven innings of relief while striking out 13.

Williams led PHS with two hits and had an RBI, while Wedebrook, Poage, Sky Oliver, Hunter Gibson, Jacob Albrecht and Austin Mullins contributed a safety apiece in the setback. Poage scored the lone run for the guests. Corvin is proud to see how far his program has come in a little over a decade of work, but he also noted that the next two weeks can determine a lot in getting ready for the second season. The venerable mentor is hoping that his troops won’t rest now that they have at least a share of a league title in hand. “The year before I got here, this program didn’t win a league game. To think that we’ve won five (league titles) in the last 11 years and four in a row is remarkable. It’s off the charts,” Corvin said. “I’m really happy for these guys, particularly these seniors, for what they’ve been able to accomplish so far this season. “We’ll enjoy this one, but now we have to spend the rest of the regular season getting ourselves ready for the tournament. We can’t be content with what we’ve done just yet.” Besides the current run from 2011 until this spring, Gallia Academy also clinched SEOAL championships in 1941, 1945, 1949, 1954, 1955, 1959, 1967, 1969, 1985 and 2006. �Sunday, April 27, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� Swatzel commits to UPike By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com A key part of this year’s Division IV is trading in her green for UPike orange. Eastern senior Erin Swatzel signed her letter of intent Thursday at EHS to join the University of Pikeville women’s basketball team, next season. “I loved how small the campus was, everything was close together,” said Swatzel on why she chose UPike. “I met some of the teammates and they all got along really well and it kind of reminded me of how we got along.” Erin was one of five seniors on this season’s OHSAA Division IV Lady Eagles State Champion basketball team and was an All-Ohio honorable mention. “With recruiting I look for two things, work ethic and character, Erin has both,” said Pikeville coach Joanna McNamee. “On top of that she’s a great student, so for the University of Pikeville she’s going to be an asset and valued member of our family, both academically and athletically. I can’t wait to get her there and coach her.” Erin averaged 11 points per game this season and helped Eastern advance to its first state final, where she posted five points and six boards in a victorious effort. “Her shooting abilities have come a long way in one season and she’s a kid that just likes to learn,” Eastern head coach John Burdette said. “She’s going to be fine when she gets down there and gets acclimated to college life and gets it figured out that college is different than high school.” Along with her basketball success Erin has also been a part of three TVC Hocking championships in volleyball and one in softball. “Basketball’s always been my favorite,” said Erin. “Since I was in the fourth grade I’ve always looked forward to basketball season.” Four of the five starters on this year’s team will be playing basketball in college next season. “Being teammates with a division one athlete that’s going to Dayton, you learn Alex Hawley | OVP Sports what competitiveness is,” Swatzel said. “I Sitting in the front row from left, are UPike coach Joanna McNamee, Amy Swatzel, Erin Swatzel, think that playing with these girls, along Don Swatzel and Dillon Swatzel.

She plans on majoring in Biology at Pikeville. “I hope that playing here helps all of them,” Burdette said. 2147 Jackson Pike “Erin’s going to be going against a kid every night that’s 6-1 or 6-0 just like she did with Kate here at school. I think she’ll progress fine at college, she’s a good hard worker, I just hope we’ve prepared all of them to go on.” Gallia Auto Sales (740) 446-0724 2013 Dodge Charger 2013 Nissan Altima 2 Door Coupe 2.5S Factory Warranty! $ 2013 Ford Fusion SE Eco Boost, Factory Warranty! $ Factory Warranty! $ 19,400 18,500 17,800 Bank Financing Available 4RADE )N�S Welcome 2013 Chevy Malibu LTZ Leather, Factory Warranty! $ 20,400 Submitted Photo Sitting in the front from left, are Troy Rigsby, Angie Rigsby, Maddie Rigsby and Peyton Rigsby.

Maddie Rigsby signs with URG track A local track and field star will continue her career in the OVP area. Eastern senior Maddie Rigsby signed her letter of intent to join the University of Rio Grande next year, on April 3 in the EHS lobby. “I chose Rio Grande because it is close and I really like it there,” said Maddie. “It just feels like home.” Rigsby has competed at the OHSAA state track meet in seven events, four in her sophomore year and three in her junior year. Maddie’s best finish at Jesse Owens was this past year when she finished ninth in the high jump. “Mostly because I can work on it individually and get better there and still have a team,” said Rigsby on her decision to choose track and field. “I just like that its individual and team.” Maddie has also competed at the state level with the 2011 Lady Eagles volleyball state semifinalists, the 2013 Lady Eagles basketball state semifinalists and the 2014 Lady Eagles basketball state champions. “She’s a really good volleyball player and a really good basketball player so I’m just happy she chose track,” Eastern head coach Josh Fogle said. She’s been a leader, she has the school record in the high jump, 4x800m, 4x400m and 4x200m so yeah, she has been a tremendous athlete and big time leader.” Rigsby has been a part of nine TriValley Conference champion teams, three in volleyball, three in basketball and three in track. “Everyone here is competitive and good and I think that will help in the future,” Maddie said. “I’m used to competing against everyone here, who are pretty good, and everyone else we compete against are pretty good too.” She currently holds a 3.7 GPA at Eastern High School and is 13th in the senior class. In addition to joining the track and field team at URG, Maddie will major in nursing. Rio Grande is an NAIA school in the Mid-South Confer- BASKET GAMES ence. The RedStorm women’s track team took fifth in the MSC last year“I think she’ll do really well because now she’ll just be concentrating on track, whereas before she had those other sports” Fogle said. “Once she starts training for track year round she’ll see a big time improvement.” BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 60500821 Call us at: 740.992.2155 or 740.446.2342 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Moyers and Company NBC Nightly News NBC Nightly News ABC World News Nightly Business Report Eyewitness ABC World News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. News The Big Bang Two and a Theory Half Men BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. News 6 PM 6:30 MONDAY, APRIL 28 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Once the Gallia Academy softball team gained the lead Friday night, the Blue Angels never gave it back following a 4-3 victory over visiting Portsmouth in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League matchup at the Eastman Athletic Complex in Gallia County. The Blue Angels (9-8, 4-4 SEOAL) trailed 3-2 through three innings of play, but the hosts rallied with two runs in the bottom of the fourth to secure a lead that they would ultimately never relinquish. The triumph allowed GAHS to claim a season sweep of the Lady Trojans, who dropped a 10-3 decision at PHS back on April 14. Makenzie Barr delivered a one-out single to start the fourth, then later came around to score the tying run after Alex Brumfield tripled — making it a threeall contest. Brumfield scored one batter later following a single by Katie Ward, allowing the hosts to take their first and final lead of the night at 4-3. PHS (0-6 SEOAL) produced a baserunner in each of its final three at-bats, but ultimately left three runners stranded at first base over the final three innings of play. Both teams were tied at one after an inning of play, then Portsmouth took its biggest lead of the night after plating two runs in the third for a 3-1 edge. GAHS answered with a run in its half of the third to close to within 3-2 through three full frames. The Blue Angels outhit the guests by a 9-7 overall margin and left three runners stranded on base, compared to four by the Lady Trojans. Both teams also committed an error apiece in the contest. Violet Pelfrey was the winning pitcher of record after allowing three walks over seven innings while striking out nine, while Erica Seison suffered the tough-luck loss after surrendering one walk over six frames while fanning six. Pelfrey and Micah Curfman led Gallia Academy with two hits apiece, followed by Barr, Brumfield, Ward, Kendra Barnes and Maggie Westfall with a safety each. Westfall, Pelfrey, Brumfield and Ward each drove in a run, while Westfall, Barr, Brumfield and Curfman each scored once in the triumph. Keleigh Johnson, Gabby Guthrie and Peighton Williams each produced two hits in the setback, while Jada Jenkins also provided a hit for PHS.

Marshall’s Dan D’Antoni ready for college test CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick gave Dan D’Antoni his first college coaching job at age 66 with the message to make the Thundering Herd a winner again. Marshall has gone through seven coaches, among them Billy Donovan, since it last made the NCAA tournament in 1987. D’Antoni isn’t about to back down from the challenge at his alma mater, just as he scoffs at criticism over his age and lack of college coaching experience. The older brother of Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said he wanted to coach at Marshall ever since graduating in 1970. “This was my dream job,” D’Antoni said Friday in Huntington, a day after his hiring was announced. “I’m ready and willing to work to make this program succeed.” D’Antoni spent 30 years as a high school coach in South Carolina before serving nine years as an NBA assistant, including the last two with the Lakers. Both Mike and Dan D’Antoni played at Marshall. “When we were here, if I remember correctly, this was a basketball school,” Dan D’Antoni said. “I don’t know what happened when I left.” Hamrick spent four days attending Lakers’ games, practices and meetings. He said he offered both Mike and Dan D’Antoni the Marshall job but didn’t go into details, including whether Mike D’Antoni turned him down. “This job was offered to two people at the same time,” Hamrick said. “And I don’t think either one of them would have cared if the other one got the job. “It is a great honor for me personally to bring back a son of Marshall.

Call the Chamber at 740-446-0596 for me to bring a D’Antoni back to Marshall University. It’s where he belongs.” D’Antoni kept his audience at a news conference in stitches with his wit and scoffed at cynics who say he can’t relate to younger players because of his age. “That one really mystifies me,” D’Antoni said. “First of all, I have a 16-year-old daughter. And she’ll tell you I communicate real clear to her.” Hamrick said after watching D’Antoni work with the Lakers’ young talent and seeing his energetic approach to film sessions and meetings, “I said ‘wow. We’ve got something here.’” Aside from coaching Marshall’s freshman team after graduation, this is D’Antoni’s first true college job. Again, he took a humorous approach to criticism that he’s a risky choice. He pointed out the universal “wisdom” of basketball on the high school, college and professional levels. “I think you try to keep them from putting the ball in that basket and you try to put it in your basket,” he said. “And if you do, that’ll work on all three levels that I’ve been at.” D’Antoni replaces Tom Herrion, who resigned last month after an 11-22 season. Alex Hawley | OVP Sports PPHS sophomore Karissa Cocharn pitches against Huntington Friday night in Point Pleasant. Cochran earned two victories over the Lady Highlanders, including a complete game no-hitter. Lady Knights sweep Huntington in twinbill By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Good teams can find a number of ways to win games. The Point Pleasant softball team used defense to defeat non-conference guest Huntington by a 7-0 count in the first game of Friday nights’ twinbill, while the Lady Knights banked on the offense in game two and took the 9-6 victory. The Lady Knights (16-6) marked one run in the bottom of the first inning when Madison Barker drove in Makinley Higginbotham, and they added on in the bottom of the third when Karissa Cochran hit a two run homerun.Point Pleasant added four runs in the fifth frame and cruised to the 7-0 victory. Karissa Cochran threw a complete game no-hitter, allowing just one baserunner, via fourth inning error, and striking out 14 of the 22 batters she faced. Huntington’s Bre Clark suffered the loss after allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks in six innings, while striking out four. The PPHS offense was led by Cami Hesson with three hits, followed by Karissa Cochran with two hits, including a homerun. Rebekah Darst added a single in the victory. Hesson and Cochran each had two runs scored, while Higginbotham, Darst and Payton Fetty each had one run scored.

The Lady Knights finished with seven runs, six hits, one error and six left on base, while Huntington had no runs, no hits, three errors and one runner left on. In the second game the Lady Highlanders finally got things going and scored on a Maddie Howell RBI single in the top of the first. Point Pleasant answered in the bottom of the first with a solo homerun by Makinley Higginbotham. Hannah Taylor and Paige Metzger each scored to put HHS ahead in the top of the second but again PPHS had an answer. Rebekah Darst doubled to start off the Lady Knights’ second and scored on Madison Barker’s single. Michaela Cottrill singled home Barker to tie the game at 3-3. The Lady Knights pulled ahead in the bottom of the third when Higginbotham doubled home Hesson but Huntington answered in the top of the fourth with three runs, highlighted by a two-run triple by Morgan Sauyers. Point Pleasant rallied back to take the lead in the bottom of the fifth with three runs on three hits. PPHS got a couple of insurance runs in the sixth frame when Darst drove home Hesson and Higginbotham. HHS was sent away in order in the top of the seventh and the Lady Knights claimed the 9-6 victory. The winning pitcher was Karissa Cochran, who pitched three innings in relief and allowed just two hits, while striking out three. PPHS starter Madison Barker threw four innings in which she allowed six runs, four earned, on seven hits and a walk, while striking out three. Rachel Bias suffered the setback for HHS after allowing nine runs on 11 hits and five walks, while striking out five in six innings. The PPHS offense was led by Higginbotham and Darst with three hits each, followed by Barker with two. Hesson, Cochran and Cottrill each had one hit in the triumph. Higginbotham scored three times, Hesson and Darst each scored twice, while Cochran and Barker both crossed the plate once. Darst had a team-high three RBIs, Higginbotham and Barker each had two, while Hammond and Cottrill each had one run batted in. Barker, Darst and Cochran each had a stolen base in the win. Maddie Howell, Morgan Sauyers and Paige Metzger led the Green and Gold with two hits each, while Syd Sipple, Rachel Bias and Madison Haymaker each had one. Metzger and Hannah Taylor each scored twice, while Sauyers drove in two runs. The Lady Knights finished with nine runs, 11 hits, four errors and seven left on base, while HHS had six runs, nine hits, no errors and seven runners stranded.

Meigs Ikes Club hosts Youth Day By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmediacom CHESTER — There was plenty of fun under the sun for the 60 or so children attending the recent Meigs County Ikes Club Youth Day observance held on its 120-acre farm on Sugar Run Road in Chester Township. The Ikes have staged the event for the past three years with the assistance of several organizations, like the Department of Natural Resources, which not only brought in hunting and fishing specialists to work with the children, but also provided grant money to stage it. According to Ikes member Bob Beegle, probably the most popular activity of the day was exploring Sugar Run Creek. Jenny Ridenour, education specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District, arrived with rubber boots and dip nets for the kids who rolled up their pant legs, put on the boots, and waded right in. Crayfish and salamanders were the catch of the day for the excited kids standing in knee-high creek water. Butch Blankenship, Zach Barton and Chris Gilkey, wildlife officers for the Department of Natural Resources, and Chelsea Herrick, an outdoor skills specialist, handled the four archery stations where the children learned how to shoot to bows and arrows. All of the equipment was bought in by ODNR. Then there was firearm shooting, really popular with the kids. Again ODNR provided the guns and gave a lesson in safety before putting a guns in the hands of inexperienced children. They were given the opportunity to shoot a .22 rifle, a 41o shotgun and a 20-gauge shotgun. Several experienced trappers were present to display furs and traps, and talk about their sport. Dustin Caudill, Gallia County, District 6, deputy director for the Ohio Trappers Association, and Jim Bahl, the district director, handed out general information and answered questions about trapping. Wes Arbaugh, a local trapper, brought along hides to use in showing preparation. He demonstrated the scrapping and cleaning needed before a hide could be mounted on a board to dry. He had several pelts on display that had been prepared for sale and answered lots of questions from the youngsters about trapping animals. Parker Taxidermy displayed some mounted deer heads and showed the techniques involved in preparing a deer head for mounting on a board. Also on display were deer antlers from the collection of Pete Sisson. A representative of Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood’s office passed out information about safety and other issues dealing with incidents that require the services of a police officer. In addition to all the activities that were on-going all day, a free lunch prepared by D.A. Harris, the Ikes president, and the wives of Ikes, was served to everyone. All the children received Youth Day Tshirts and ODNR provided goodie bags for each one. Winners of archery equipment from ODNR went to Malachi Smith, Nathaniel Hysell and Ella Carleton. Youth Day is an annual April event hosted by the Meigs County Ikes that evolved from the Issac Walton League many years ago. Malachi Smith, Nathanel Hysell, and Ella Carleton were winners of the Ikes Club door prizes. Displaying furs and traps and answering questions about trapping and curing hides were, from the left, Dustin Caudill of the Ohio Trappers Association, Wes Arbaugh, a local trapper, and Jim Bahl, 7th district director of the OTA.

Emma Lucas killed the wild turkey on April 20. The bird weighed 24 pounds, which Bob Lucas said is more than half his daughter’s weight. She harvested the turkey with her youth model 410 shotgun. The adult male bird had a 10 1/2-inch beard with spurs 1 3/8 inches long. Along with hunting, Bob says his daughter has other interests/hobbies that include gymnastics, ballet and tap dancing, softball and playing with her sisters. Emma plans on taking the bird to a taxidermist. ":G6DE@4<î(6A@CE GALLIPOLIS — United Producers, Inc., livestock report of sales from April 24, 2014.

College of Medicine physician honored ATHENS, Ohio — Dr. Randall Longenecker, assistant dean for rural and underserved programs at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, has received a national award for his role in helping prepare medical students and residents for practice in rural areas. The National Rural Health Association presented its 2014 Outstanding Educator Award to Longenecker on April 24, during NRHA’s 37th Rural Health Conference in Las Vegas. The NRHA is a 21,000-member nonprofit organization that focuses on rural health issues. In bestowing the honor, the NRHA noted Longenecker’s work as a longtime rural physician, his efforts in bringing together students from all of Ohio’s medical schools for rural health retreats and his success in connecting students with opportunities for networking, leadership and advocacy through trips to the nation’s capital. Longenecker has spent the past 15 years helping to develop and imple- ment rural training programs, including developing and directing a rural training track residency program in West Liberty, Ohio. Through a grant from the federal Office of Rural Health Policy, he has helped create a network of medical education programs — the RTT Collaborative — aimed at sustaining health professions education in rural areas such as Appalachian Ohio. Since joining the Heritage College as its first assistant dean for rural and underserved programs in 2012, Longenecker has helped develop and oversee its Rural and Urban Scholars Pathways program, which prepares primary care physicians for practice in medically underserved settings, both rural and urban. Participants in the program complete rural and urban clinical experiences in underserved areas and receive individualized education planning. “Although I’ve received other awards for my work as a medical educator, this is the first time the award was initiated by students – and that’s ���î@S46CîEC2:?:?8 The FFA officers of Gallipolis FFA chapter recently attended the 2014 District Officer Training and Banquet at Waterford High School.

Earlier this month, Longenecker helped organize a gathering of about 70 medical educators in Athens whose goal was to develop healthcare strategies for underserved populations and create a sustainable rural physician workforce. “This was the first time that osteopathic and allopathic rural medical educators from around the nation have met to explore common ground, and at the same time share their unique perspectives in strategically growing a future rural workforce from that foundation,” Longenecker said. Funding for the Heritage College’s Office of Rural and Underserved Programs comes in part from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations’ transformational 2011 gift to the college. The $105 million gift supports Heritage College initiatives that enrich primary care medical education, enhance research that addresses our most pervasive health issues and improve community health.

The ranches say they are using draft horses, the diesels of the horse world, in ever greater numbers to make sure they don’t lose out on income from potential customers of any size who come out to get closer to the West of yesteryear. “Even though a person might be overweight, or, you know, heavier than the average American, it’s kind of nice we can provide a situation where they can ride with their family,” said wrangler T. James “Doc” Humphrey. Humphrey’s 10-gallon hat, goatee, black vest and spurs are a tourist favorite at Sombrero Ranches, east of Rocky Mountain National Park, where they have 20 draft horses, including Belgians and Percherons, and 25 draft horses mixes. Ranch operators say they began adding the bigger horses in the 1990s, but the pace has picked up AP Photo Tourist Christian Styles, right, and Katy Little, left, both of Des Moines, Iowa, ride at Sombrero Ranches riding stables in Estes Park, Colo. Styles is on Joker, a Belgian draft horse, while Little rides Dodge, a quarter horse. The outfit uses draft horses along with quarter horses for tourists. The bigger horses are better able to handle the mountainous terrain as well as heavy riders. Stables across the West are employing more of the larger draft horses to accommodate people who have gotten heavier in recent years. in recent years. Over the last 20 years, obesity has increased to more than a third of adults and about 17 percent of children age 2 to 19, according to federal statistics. “I think it’s wonderful that these people are looking to accommodate people of larger body size,” said Peggy Howell, spokeswoman for the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, adding that more businesses should be- come “size savvy.” “People of larger body size enjoy athletic activities just as much as people with what’s considered normal body size,” she said. Draft horses fell out of favor as machines took over pulling farm equipment in the mid-20th century, said Elaine Beardsley of the Ohio-based Percheron Horse Association of America. Registered Percherons reached a low of 86 in 1953, and are now at 1,000.
