Memorial Day parade By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The Meigs Marauder Band will be going to Washington, D.C., to participate in the annual National Memorial Day Parade as a representative of the state of Ohio, thanks to a personal nomination from Congressman Bill Johnson. The invitation came after Dan Halliburton, representative of Congressman Bill Johnson, heard the Maraud- ers perform at the grand opening ceremony of the new Farmers Bank building on Main Street in Pomeroy last summer. He contacted Johnson and upon his recommendation, the Meigs Marauder Band, directed by Toney Dingess, was given the invitation to participate. The event, presented by Boeing, is a three-hour parade that passes alongside the National Mall, moving down historic Constitution Avenue from 7th Street to 17th Street before a crowd of several hundred thousand street spectators. The parade consists of selected marching bands and veteran’s units from each of the 50 states, musical ensembles from each branch of the military, large heliumfilled balloons and specialty units, floats and VIP’s. More than 10,000 participants take part in the parade each year.

The third annual event has been set for Saturday, May 24, with proceeds going to the Wahama weight room expansion project, according to Jodie Roush, organizer of the event. The cycling circuit Annual bike race planned By Mindy Kearns Special to The Register PPRnews@civitasmedia.com NEW HAVEN — Cyclists in the tri-state area are gearing up for the Wahama High School Athletics’ third annual Bike Race/Ride, set for Saturday, May 24, in New Haven. According to organizer Jodie Roush, more than 40 racers have pre-registered for the event so far. The race will begin at the New Haven Ball Fields on Layne Street, with check-in at 7:30 a.m. Starting time for the race is 8:30 a.m. Registration is $25 and a free T-shirt is guaranteed for all participants registered by May 14. Proceeds from this year’s race will go to Wahama’s weight room fundraiser. “The first year (of the race), the money went to the athletic boosters and last year it was used in the school’s athletic fund,” Roush said. “This year, we are renovating our weight room and have opted to have the money used for this endeavor.” Roush said the event is a 10/20 mile course. Any racer that completes the first lap in less than 35 minutes will complete a second lap. Awards will be presented in 24 different age, gender and novelty categories. For anyone wanting to catch a glimpse of the cyclists, the course will begin at the ball fields, travel Layne Street to Rt. 62, then left at the Church of God. The racers will proceed to Gun Club Road, then left onto Broad Run Road. From there, cyclists will turn left at the AEP Sporn Plant, return on Rt. 62 south to the Church of God, and finish at the ball fields. Roush said helmets are “highly recommended.” Motorists are urged to use extreme caution on these roads while the race is in progress. When asked why Roush chose a bike race/ride to raise funds for the school’s athletic program, he Participants in the 2013 Wahama High School Athletics’ Bike Race/ Ride are pictured above along the New Haven route. Over 40 cyclists have already registered for the third annual event to be held Saturday, May 24. Awards will be presented in 24 different age, gender and novelty categories. explained, “Cycling in the tristate area has grown exponentially over the past few years, due largely to social media connecting riders through groups such as Velo Gallia (a local cycling club).” Roush continued, “There are plenty of running events and triathlons locally, however there were very few cycling events when we started the race/ride in 2012. Since then our race has expanded and other events have emerged in the tri-state area.” Registration forms and additional information can be found by logging on to Wahama’s website at www.edline.net/pages/ Wahama_High_School. Donations are also being accepted at the school for the weight room expansion. A committee for the project has been established and consists of Dave Barr, chairman; Roush; Principal Kenny Bond; Vice Principal Missy VanMeter; Paul Hesson; and Heath Hesson. GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Veterans Service Commission is preparing for Memorial Day and will be featuring a distinguished World War II veteran as this year’s parade marshal and Herbert guest speaker Heilbrun during the annual Gallipolis Memorial Day Parade. Lt. Herbert Heilbrun, a native of Cincinnati, served during World War II as a B-17 pilot who flew 35 combat missions, logging a total of 261 combat hours over Nazi Germany. For his service, Heilbrun was awarded five Major Battle Stars, four Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Heilbrun was also, more recently, honored, along with one of his fellow airmen, by the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations for their efforts on educating the public on war, and, specifically, interracial understanding. This honor was the result of some research completed by Heilbrun some 50 years after his service when he learned that his bomber squadron had been escorted and protected for most of his missions by P-51 Mustangs that See CEREMONY | A3 Chamber members hear Holzer ER progress report By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A report on the progress of the Holzer Medical Emergency Center under construction in the Rocksprings area near Meigs High School was given at this week’s meeting of the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Gregory Mickunas, employed by the Holzer Health System, is a specialist in emergency medicine and has been working closely with the development of the emergency treatment facility being erected on a lot adjacent to the building now housing the Meigs County EMS. The speaker described the Holzer Center as a 24-hour facility that has a tentative date of Oct. 7 for completion, with an actual opening for its role of emergency care slated for early November. He said the location is central to hospitals making transporting by the EMS available within an hour to regional primary care centers. Dr. Bob Holm will be the medical director of the new facility. The EMS helipad to be constructed for bringing in patients with the Holzer facility on site will mean immediate treatment can be given, and as Dr. Mickunas pointed out, “there are many advantages to that in emergency situations.” Charlene Hoeflich | Sunday Times-Sentinel He mentioned his conversations Construction is moving right along on the Meigs Holzer Emergency Center located near the new building housing the See PROGRESS | A3 Meigs EMS in the Rock Springs Area. �&@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Page A2 LîSunday Times Sentinel Sunday, May 18, 2014 #6:8Dî�@F?EJ �2==:2î�@F?EJî�@>>F?:EJî�2=6?52C �@>>F?:EJî�2=6?52C Monday, May 19 HUNTINGTON TWP. — Huntington Township trustees will meet at 7 p.m. at the township garage.

Watergate conspirator, Magruder, dies Band COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jeb Stuart Magruder, a Watergate conspiratorturned-minister who claimed in later years to have heard President Richard Nixon order the infamous break-in, has died. He was 79. Magruder died May 11 in Danbury, Connecticut, Hull Funeral Service director Jeff Hull said Friday. Magruder, a businessman when he began working for the Republican president, later became a minister, serving in California, Ohio and Kentucky. He also served as a church fundraising consultant. He spent seven months in prison for lying about the involvement of Nixon’s re-election committee in the 1972 break-in at Washington’s Watergate complex, which eventually led to the president’s resignation. In a 2008 interview, Magruder told The Associated Press he was at peace with his place in history. The interview came after he pleaded guilty to reckless operation of a motor vehicle following a 2007 car crash. “I don’t worry about Watergate, I don’t worry about news articles,” Magruder said. “I go to the court, I’m going to be in the paper — I know that.” Magruder, who moved to suburban Columbus in 2003, served as Nixon’s deputy campaign director, an aide to Nixon Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman and deputy communications director at the White House. Magruder said in 2003 that he was meeting with John Mitchell, the former attorney general running the Nixon re-election campaign, when he heard the president tell Mitchell to go ahead with the plan to From Page A1 Jefferson Memorial last April and Dingess said there were no plans to travel again for at least another four years, However, after the invitation was received and the event was researched by Dingess and the MHS Band Boosters, the decision was made to accept the invitation and take the marching band back to the nation’s capitol. “This is a two-night, three-day trip with plenty of educational opportunities to see the nation’s capitol up close and personal ” See MAGRUDER | A6 Dingess said. He noted that one highlight of the trip will be attending the National Symphony’s Memorial Day Concert on Sunday evening on the grounds of the Capitol, which is followed by a giant fireworks display. He added that the cost of this trip is $385 to $450 per participant, and noted that there are still several students who are trying to get money together to pay their fees. Dingess said that anyone in the community who would like to donate to help the Marauders get to the National Memorial Day Parade can do so by either mailing their donation to The Meigs High School Band, Meigs High School, 42091 Pomeroy Pike, Pomeroy OH 45769; by seeing Dingess in person; or dropping off a donation at Clark’s Jewelry Store on Court Street in Pomeroy.

According to the Harvard Foundation, Heilbrun later researched military records and learned that one of the planes that had escorted him safely on his missions had been flown by Airman John H. Leahr, a man who shared Heilbrun’s hometown. In effort to express his gratitude to the men who protected his squadron, Heilbrun later met the surviving members of the 332nd Squadron at an annual meeting of the Tuskegee Airmen — a group that included Leahr. The two men later discovered that they were not only from the same town, but had also attended class together, even appearing side-by-side in a third-grade class photograph. After Heilbrun and Leahr, who became fast friends, acknowledged that it had been racial segregation that had kept them apart for so many years, they made a vow that they would share their story with America in an effort to improve interracial understanding. From that time on, the two men have traveled around the country speaking to young and old about their World War II experiences. The History Channel and NBC News later reported on this remarkable story, and the Harvard Foundation — a group that honors individuals, programs and activities that promote interracial and intercultural awareness and understanding — took note, contacting Heilbrun and Leahr and recognizing them for their efforts. Thanks in large part to the protection of the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Squadron, Heilbrun’s bomber group all made it home safely, unlike so many other bomber squadrons in World War II.

Is hashtagging one’s indignation about some outrage abroad an exercise in moral narcissism or a worthy new way of standing up to bad guys? The answer seems rather simple. It depends on whether you have the power to do something about the outrage in question. If you do, as in the case of the Obama administration watching Russia’s slow-motion dismemberment of Ukraine, it’s simply embarrassing when the State Department spokeswoman tweets the hashtag #UnitedForUkraine. That is nothing but preening, a visual recapitulation of her boss’s rhetorical fatuousness when he sternly warns that if the rape of this U.S. friend continues, we are prepared to consider standing together with the “international community” to decry such indecorous behavior — or some such. When a superpower, with multiple means at its disposal, reverts to rhetorical emptiness and hashtag activism, it has betrayed both its impotence and indifference. But if you’re an individual citizen without power, if you lack access to media, drones or special forces, then hashtagging your solidarity with the aggrieved is a fine gesture and perhaps even more. The mass tweet is, after all, just the cyber equivalent of the mass petition. And people don’t sneer at petitions. Historically, they’ve been a way for individuals, famous or anonymous, to make their views known and, by weight of number, influence authorities who, in democratic societies, might respond to such expressions of popular sentiment. The hashtag campaign for the Nigerian girls — originated in Nigeria by Nigerians — was meant to do exactly that: pressure the Nigerian government to more seriously respond to the kidnapping. It has already had this effect. And attention from abroad has helped magnify the pressure. As always, however, we tend to romanticize the power of the tweet. For a while, Twitter (and other social media) was seen as a game changer that would empower the masses and invert the age-old relationship between the ruler and ruled. This is mostly rubbish. Yes, the tweet improves upon the mass petition because tweets contain an instant return address that allows for mass mobilization. People can be summoned to gather together somewhere — Tahrir Square, for example. At which point, alas, the age-old dynam- ics of power take hold. If the tyrant, brandishing guns and tanks, is cruel and determined enough, your tweets will mean nothing. Try it at Tahrir or Tiananmen, in Damascus or Tehran. They will shoot and torture you, then maybe even let you keep your precious smartphone. Michelle Obama’s tweeting #BringBackOurGirls for the nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists poses an interesting case of the semiofficial tweet. This was no exercise in vanity. She does advise the man who does deploy the forces, and who in this case provided serious concrete support — intelligence, reconnaissance, on-the-ground advisers — to help fight the evil. What was peculiar about her tweet, however, was its uniqueness: It’s the first time she’s expressed herself so personally and publicly about a foreign crisis. And she was nicely candid about the reason: “In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters.” The identity of the victims here — young, black and female — undoubtedly helps explain the worldwide reaction. Two months earlier, Boko Haram had raided a Christian school and, after segregating the boys, brutally murdered 59 of them. That elicited no hashtag campaign against Boko Haram. Nor was there any through the previous years of Boko Haram depredations — razing Christian churches, burning schools, killing infidels of all ages. Nonetheless, selective outrage is not necessarily hypocrisy. There are a million good causes in the world, and one cannot be devoted to all of them. People naturally gravitate to those closest to their heart. Thus last week’s unlikely sight: a group of congresswomen holding a news conference demanding immediate U.S. action — including the possible use of drones — against Boko Haram. These were members, like Sheila Jackson Lee, not heretofore known for hawkish anti-jihadist sentiments. No matter. People find their own causes. Their sincerity is to be credited and their commitment welcomed. The American post-9/11 response to murderous jihadism has often been characterized, not least by our own president, as both excessive and morally suspect. There is a palpable weariness with the entire enterprise. Good, therefore, that new constituencies for whom jihadism and imposed Shariah law ranked low among their urgent concerns should now be awakening to the principal barbarism of our time. Trending now (once again): anti-jihadism, aka the War on Terror. Chris Christie’s presidential prospects are sagging — and it has nothing to do with those steel cables spanning the Hudson River. The sprawling controversy, which began with bridge lane closures in Fort Lee, N.J., to punish a political foe, has given the governor a reputation for running New Jersey in a vindictive and even thuggish manner. But this would hurt him less in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries than the loss of the central rationale for his potential candidacy: that he returned New Jersey to fiscal health. CBS News’ Bob Schieffer, assigned to interview Christie onstage Wednesday at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s annual “fiscal summit” in Washington, laid out the bad news: $807 million budget shortfall; downgrades by credit-rating agencies; worry that the state can’t pay its pension obligations; and slow job growth. “Not so long ago, people were talking about the New Jersey miracle,” the genial newsman said. “Now suddenly the news is not so good about New Jersey.” Christie did what any strong leader would do when presented with such facts: He blamed the economists. “They overestimated our revenue,” he said. “When I asked them, ‘How could you be so wrong?’” he added, “they said, ‘We just missed it.’ You know, the great thing about economists is that’s all they have to say: ‘Governor, I’m sorry, we missed it.’ Yeah, I’m sure you are, but I’m the one who has to fix your miss.” It was eerily similar to Christie’s response to the bridge controversy: He was blameless. His staff let him down. And what about the $1.6 billion pension-plan payment the state may not be able to make? Christie couldn’t blame the economists — so he blamed his predecessors. “A billion of it is for the unaccrued liability that my predecessors didn’t pay for increased benefits,” he explained. “Christie Whitman, Jim McGreevey, Dick Codey, Jon Corzine made no pension payments. None. Zero.” This was not helping Christie’s image as a straight shooter. “Bob keeps asking me these questions as if I’m actually going to answer them,” the governor said when Schieffer had the nerve to inquire about how Christie would pay the pension liability. “You’re ruining my reputation.” It was bad luck that Christie’s fiscal crisis had climaxed just as he gave a highly billed address to the fiscal summit. But for the governor, the bad luck keeps coming. The speaker immediately preceding Christie was Bill Clinton, who was folksy and funny as he rebutted questions raised about his wife’s health by Karl Rove. PBS’ Gwen Ifill, Clinton’s interviewer, asked about the suggestion by “Dr. Rove” that Hillary Rodham Clinton had suffered a brain injury. “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” the former president joked. “First they said she faked her concussion, and now they say she’s auditioning for a part on ‘The Walking Dead.’” Clinton had a few more lines prepared: “Now they say she’s really got brain damage. If she does, I must be in really tough shape because she’s still quicker than I am.” Six months ago, Christie and Hillary Clinton were in strong positions to be their respective parties’ 2016 standard bearers. But the divergence in fortunes since then could be seen in the postures and presentations of the governor and the former president Wednesday. Clinton, legs crossed, chin on fist, seemed to be enjoying himself as he defended his wife’s handling of the Benghazi attacks as secretary of state. “Hillary did what she should have done,” the former commander in chief said, floating a possible counterattack: “Most Americans don’t even know how many American diplomatic personnel were killed when President Bush was president.” Christie, by contrast, sat gripping the armrests, his feet planted on the floor, frequently straightening his tie. When Schieffer asked about “Bridgegate,” Christie suddenly became interested in his coffee mug, holding it upside down to show that it was empty. “It’s a prop, obviously,” Christie said. What impact would the bridge flap have on his political future? “I think it will have none because I didn’t do anything,” Christie said, blaming the “circus” of Washington. “A couple of staff people do something that they shouldn’t have done, I fire them, and all of a sudden this becomes the biggest story in the country for a couple of months,” he said, “because I guess you guys weren’t doing anything else down here.” Christie dismissed the bridge as “a footnote,” and he returned to the topic of New Jersey’s finances. “My future is going to be based upon the record” of his fiscal management, he said. That’s the problem. Lyndon B. Johnson’s bifurcated legacy By George Will Standing on his presidential limousine, Lyndon Johnson, campaigning in Providence, R.I., in Septem- ber 1964, bellowed through a bullhorn: “We’re in favor of a lot of things and we’re against mighty few.” This was a synopsis of what he had said four months earlier.

It would end poverty and racial injustice, “but that is just the beginning.” It would “rebuild the entire urban United States” while fending off “boredom and restlessness,” slaking “the hunger for community” and enhancing “the meaning of our lives” — all by assembling “the best thought and the broadest knowledge.” In 1964, 76 percent of Americans trusted government to do the right thing “just about always or most of the time “; today, 19 percent do. The former number is one reason Johnson did so much; the latter is one consequence of his doing so. Barry Goldwater, Johnson’s 1964 opponent who assumed that Americans would vote to have a third president in 14 months, suffered a landslide defeat. After voters rebuked FDR in 1938 for attempting to “pack” the Supreme Court, Republicans and Southern Democrats prevented any liberal legislating majority in Congress until 1965. That year, however, when 68 senators and 295 representatives were Democrats, Johnson was unfettered. He remains, regarding government’s role, much the most consequential 20thcentury president. Indeed, the American Enterprise Institute’s Nicholas Eberstadt, in his measured new booklet “The Great Society at Fifty: The Triumph and the Tragedy,” says LBJ, more than FDR, “profoundly recast the common understanding of the ends of governance.” When Johnson became president in 1963, Social Security was America’s only nationwide social program. His programs and those they subsequently legitimated put the nation on the path to the present, in which changed social norms — dependency on government has been destigmatized — have changed America’s national character. Between 1959 and 1966 — before the War on Poverty was implemented — the percentage of Americans living in poverty plunged by about one-third, from 22.4 to 14.7, slightly lower than in 2012. But, Eberstadt cautions, the poverty rate is “incorrigibly misleading” because government transfer payments have made income levels and consumption levels significantly different. Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, disability payments, heating assistance and other entitlements have, Eberstadt says, made income “a poor predictor of spending power for lower-income groups.” Stark material de- privation is now rare: “By 2011 … average per capita housing space for people in poverty was higher than the U.S. average for 1980. … [Many] appliances were more common in officially impoverished homes in 2011 than in the typical American home of 1980. … DVD players, personal computers, and home Internet access are now typical in them — amenities not even the richest U.S. households could avail themselves of at the start of the War on Poverty.” But the institutionalization of anti-poverty policy has been, Eberstadt says carefully, “attended” by the dramatic spread of a “tangle of pathologies.” Daniel Patrick Moynihan coined that phrase in his 1965 report calling attention to family disintegration among African-Americans. The tangle, which now ensnares all races and ethnicities, includes welfare dependency and “flight from work.” Twenty-nine percent of Americans — about 47 percent of blacks and 48 percent of Hispanics — live in households receiving means-tested benefits. And “the proportion of men 20 and older who are employed has dramatically and almost steadily dropped since the start of the War on Poverty, falling from 80.6 percent in January 1964 to 67.6 percent 50 years later.” Because work — independence, self-reliance — is essential to the culture of freedom, ominous developments have coincided with Great Society policies: For every adult man ages 20 to 64 who is between jobs and looking for work, more than three are neither working nor seeking work, a trend that began with the Great Society. And what Eberstadt calls “the earthquake that shook family structure in the era of expansive anti-poverty policies” has seen out-of-wedlock births increase from 7.7 percent in 1965 to more than 40 percent in 2012, including 72 percent of black babies. LBJ’s starkly bifurcated legacy includes the triumphant Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 — and the tragic aftermath of much of his other works. Eberstadt asks: Is it “simply a coincidence” that male flight from work and family breakdown have coincided with Great Society policies, and that dependence on government is more widespread and perhaps more habitual than ever? Goldwater’s insistent 1964 question is increasingly pertinent: “What’s happening to this country of ours?” �Sunday, May 18, 2014 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î�� Obituaries PIEDMONT, Calif. — Jim Rood, 70, a resident of Piedmont, Calif., since 1976, passed away Monday, May 5, 2014, after living with prostate cancer for nearly 11 years. In the spring 2003, Jim was diagnosed with a faulty heart valve, and shortly afterwards with prostate cancer. It seemed like a good time to retire, which he did. After being treated for more than 10 years by Dr. Ari Baron and his incredible staff, as well as the team at UCSF, Jim died quietly at home. Born James Stephen Rood on Oct. 29, 1943, in Charleston, W.Va., he was the second son of the former Irene Lee, of Charleston, and Ernest Livingston Rood, of Gallipolis. Livingston was off fighting the war in the South Pacific while Jim’s mother was living in Gallipolis, raising Jim and his older brother Larry, with the help of the boys’ grandmother, great-aunt and great-uncle. At the end of the war, the marriage was ended by divorce, with the boys remaining in Gallipolis to be raised by their mother, grandmother, great-aunt and great-uncle. This is Jim’s story in his own words: “Gallipolis during the mid-century was, in many ways, an idyllic place to grow up. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River and surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains, the scenery was often staggeringly beautiful, as were its inhabitants, often open and generous in a manner simply not found today. Summers were spent water skiing and fishing on the knowingly polluted river, winters sleighing and otherwise terrorizing the other neighborhood children with snowballs. “But all was not just a little slice of Harper Lee growing up at Grandmother’s house. First was the matter of money, which seemed to appear magically and in quantity whenever needed, although no one worked or had any visible source of income. The family did own and operate a small grocery store, at which no one seemed to shop, but would, from time to time, disappear into the back regions to appear later with a paper bag, cash in hand, smile on face. “Of course, I was far too young at the time to understand the nature of the little transactions. It was not until much later that I discovered that the family business was not what some otherwise upright citizens would have considered proper and which relied heavily on a system of signals from law enforcement officials that the feds were due any day to make one of their tedious raids. So, everyone was happy, not least the participants in the whole scheme. “In the autumn of 1961 — after graduating from Gallia Academy in Gallipolis — I enrolled in what was to be seven years of education at Ohio State: four years of liberal arts, interrupted by a stint at the Sorbonne in Paris, and three years of law school. Of those years, the time spent at the Sorbonne was the best in all respects. If the time spent at OSU seemed hopelessly sophisticated following a childhood in Appalachia, the months spent in Paris were what such sojourns had always been meant to be: a wash of French sophistication applied to an otherwise willing apprentice. “It was during the period following Europe that I be- came great friends with the Darnbrough family of Gallipolis. We had all known each other since childhood, of course, but it was then that our friendship developed into that of my second family. I spent every school holiday at their big, welcoming house, and their friends became my own. “Law school was otherwise forgettable. Easy to enter in those days, my one good memory lasting to this day is that I met and became engaged to Lorie, who lived in the apartment next door. After an unforgettable courtship, we were married in the fall of 1969, followed by a honeymoon in Paris, which was like slipping back into a comfortable, yet glamorous pair of old shoes. We remained in Columbus for the next six months, then moved to San Francisco in April 1970. We moved west on a first-class train, perhaps one of the last ones of its type to operate west of the Mississippi. “We both immediately got jobs — Lorie in a private school in the Avenues and I at Bancroft-Whitney Co., a legal publishing company in the city. Lorie remained in her job until shortly after Amy’s birth, I for several years, when I resigned to work for the Wine Institute. While none of these jobs offered a lot in the matter of professional growth, they did yield solid and lasting friendships, many of which continue to this day. “The four years spent living on Nob Hill across from the Mark Hopkins were, quite simply, four of the best ever by a newly-married couple. We spent evenings out for dinner, went to shows and concerts, as well as the inevitable weekends in Carmel and Tahoe. On July 7, 1974, Amy was born at Children’s Hospital in San Francisco and we moved to two different apartments in the Richmond District. In 1976, we moved to Piedmont, where we remain today. On June 30, 1978, our son Jeff was born. “In 1976, I resigned from the Wine Institute and joined the California Public Utilities Commission, where I remained until retirement in 2002. I also continued my 25-year career as an outside editor with Bancroft-Whitney until the same year. As with all my employment, the joy lay not with the work itself, but in the warm personal attachments made. “One of the accomplishments of which I was most proud was as a member of the board of directors of Chanticleer, the worldrenowned San Francisco Men’s Singing Ensemble. But by far the biggest single accomplishment was watching my children, Amy and Jeff, grow athletically, academically and musically, thanks to their own talents and willingness to work.” Jim is survived by Lorie, his wife of 45 years; two children, Amy McKenzie and husband, Tom, of Piedmont, and Jeff and wife, Jackie, of Madison, Wis.; four grandchildren, Scottie and Nate McKenzie and Weston and Wylie Rood; brother Larry and his wife, Jean, of Fairfax. Va.; and several nieces and cousins. A memorial service will be 11 a.m. Friday, May 23, 2014, at Piedmont Community Church, 400 Highland Ave., in Piedmont. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Jim’s name to Citizens Highly Interested in Music Education, which supports music, drama and dance in Piedmont.

Ohio unemployment sees big drop to 5.7% COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s unemployment rate dropped in April to 5.7 percent, the lowest level in more than six years, the state reported Friday in news that continued to play into the governor’s race. The rate, which was down from 6.1 percent in March, is the lowest since the same rate in February 2008. Ohio’s rate remains below the national figure, which fell to 6.3 percent in April from 6.7 percent in March, according to the Department of Job and Family Services. Ohio’s nonfarm wage and salary employment increased 12,600 over the month, from 5,285,000 in March to 5,297,600 in April, the agency said. The number of unemployed workers in Ohio in April was 328,000, down 26,000 from 354,000 in March. The state said an increase of 2,100 manufacturing jobs exceeded a loss of 900 construction jobs. Jobs in trade, transportation and utilities were up by 6,200, with declines of 2,800 in educational and health services. Mining and logging jobs remained unchanged from March. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald said the figures disguise the fact 14,000 people stopped looking for work during April. “Ohioans are not only having a hard time finding jobs, they are simply giving up hope of ever finding work,” FitzGerald said in a statement. People stop looking for jobs for a variety of reasons, including discouragement, retirement, returning to school or deciding to stay home with children, said family services spokesman Benjamin Johnson.

(AP) — Aero-Smith Inc. has bought a former aircraft assembly plant in the Eastern Regional Airport’s business park at a foreclosure auction. Aero-Smith, the fixed based operator at the airport, submitted the winning bid of $435,000 during the auction Thursday on the steps of the Berkeley County Courthouse in Martinsburg, The Journal reported. Under the sale’s terms, Aero-Smith will have to pay delinquent personal property taxes owed by the plant’s former owner, Aviation Solutions. Aero-Smith President George Smith declined to discuss plans for the property, which includes 62,000 square feet of hangar and office space and has direct access to the airport’s airstrip. “The economy got me — I tried,” Aviation Solutions president and founder Jason told the newspaper. “I’m happy Aero-Smith got it. It will be good for the airport and the community. I hope they’re able to do something with it.” Tiger Aircraft opened the plant and produced four-seat general aviation airplanes from 2001 to 2006. Tiger declared bankruptcy in 2007. Kuhn bought the plant in February 2011 and had planned to manufacture aircraft parts and offer aircraft maintenance and repair at the facility. The West Virginia Economic Development Authority had authorized Aviation Solutions to issue up to $3.2 million in bonds for the operation. The land on which the building sits is owned by the Eastern Regional Airport Authority. In 2013, the airport authority declared Aviation Solutions in default on the land-lease payments and began legal proceedings to foreclose on the property. Aviation Solutions currently owes $57,000 in delinquent land-lease payments to the authority. Wesbanco Bank Inc., the bond holder, will pay the delinquent land-lease payments with proceeds from the foreclosure sale. The 2013 taxes amount to $40,115.30, according to the Sheriff’s Tax Office, as well as penalties and interest that accumulate on a daily basis. Aero-Smith will have to pay the back taxes, according to the terms of the sale. Currently, Aviation Solutions owes $57,000 in delinquent land-lease payments to the Airport Authority. The authority had declared the company in default last year and began legal proceedings to foreclose on the property. In the land-lease agreement, the Airport Authority can assume ownership of the building if the company defaults on the agreement. CINCINNATI (AP) — The Ohio company owned by a fugitive treasure hunter is fighting to gain control over recently recovered gold from a ship that sank off the South Carolina coast in 1857 in one of the worst maritime disasters in U.S. history, arguing that the Florida company now salvaging the sunken treasure from the shipwreck is trespassing. In documents filed in federal court on Thursday, ColumbusAmerica Discovery Group, Inc. argues that it has the exclusive rights to the sunken SS Central America and asks a judge to grant them custody of any recently recovered gold. The company is owned by Tommy Thompson, the Ohio shipwreck enthusiast who led the 1987 expedition that found the Central America and recovered gold that later sold for $50 million to $60 million. He was later sued by investors who paid $12.7 million to fund the expedition but never saw any returns. Thompson has been a wanted fugitive since August 2012, after he failed to show up for a key court hearing. Last month and with the approval of an Ohio judge, deep-sea divers with Tampa, Florida-based Odyssey Marine Exploration returned to the shipwreck and began recovering gold under a contract with the court-appointed receiver over Thompson’s former company, Recovery Limited Partnership. Columbus-America and its current president, Milt Butterworth, are now fighting to gain control over any recently recovered gold, stop the ongoing expedition and conduct any future AP Photo This 1989 file photo shows gold bars and coins from the S.S. Central America, a mail steamship, which sunk in a hurricane in 1857, about 160 miles off the North Carolina coast. Columbus-America Discovery Group, owned by fugitive treasure hunter Tommy Thompson, argues in a Thursday filing that it has the exclusive rights to the treasure from the shipwreck. trips to recover the gold. The company claims it did the bulk of the work in 1987 to recover gold on the initial expedition and was granted a permanent injunction in 1989 enjoining anyone else from recovering gold from the Central America. James Chapman, the attorney who represents Recovery Limited Partnership, argued in a Wednesday court filing that the company — not Columbus-America Discovery Group — footed the entire $30.4 million it took to recover the gold over a four-year period, that Columbus-America was formed solely to act as RLP’s agent, and that the permanent injunction clearly was awarded for the benefit of the investors of the initial expedition, who own RLP. Chapman described ColumbusAmerica as an “insolvent company wholly owned and controlled by a criminal fugitive.” “Completion of the salvage of the Central America after so many years is accompanied by the obligation to do so in a transparent fashion and with the public interest in mind,” Chapman wrote, arguing that the current expedition fulfills that goal. Mike Lorz, a spokesman for Columbus-America, said the company is solvent and argued that it is better suited for the recovery effort He said the last he spoke with Thompson was three years ago and that the company is now acting independently of him. AP Photo Jeb Stuart Magruder, an aide to President Nixon who spent seven months in prison for his role in covering up the 1972 break-in at Washington’s Watergate complex, died Sunday due to complications from a stroke. He was 79. Magruder From Page A3 break into the Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate office building. Magruder previously had gone no further than saying that Mitchell approved the plan to get into the Democrats’ office and bug the telephone of the party chairman, Larry O’Brien. He made his claims in a PBS documentary and an Associated Press interview. He said he met with Mitchell on March 30, 1972, and discussed a break-in plan by G. Gordon Liddy, a former FBI agent who was finance counsel at the re-election committee. Mitchell asked Magruder to call Haldeman to see “if this is really necessary.” Haldeman said it was, Magruder said, and then asked to speak to Mitchell. The two men talked, and then “the president gets on the line,” Magruder said. Magruder said he could hear Nixon tell Mitchell, “John, … we need to get the information on Larry O’Brien, and the only way we can do that is through Liddy’s plan. And you need to do that.” Historians dismiss the notion as unlikely, saying there was no evidence Nixon directly ordered the break-in. Magruder stuck to his guns in the 2008 AP interview, saying historians had it wrong. He became a born-again Christian after Watergate, an experience he described in his 1978 biography, “From Power to Peace.” “All the earthly supports I had ever known had given way, and when I saw how flimsy they were I understood why they had never been able to make me happy,” he wrote. “The missing ingredient in my life was Jesus Christ and a personal relationship with him.” Magruder, who was born in New York City on Nov. 5, 1934, held sales and management jobs at several companies, including paper company Crown Zellerbach and Jewel Food Stores. He also became active in Republican politics. He received a master’s degree in divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1981, then worked at a Presbyterian church in California, First Community Church in suburban Columbus and First Presbyterian Church, a 200-year-old parish in Lexington, Kentucky. But he could never fully leave the scandal behind. In 1988, Dana Rinehart, then Columbus mayor, appointed Magruder head of a city ethics commission and charged him to lead a yearlong honesty campaign. An ethics commission “headed by none other than (are you ready America?) Jeb Stuart Magruder,” quipped Time magazine. At Dallas-based RSI-Ketchum, a church fundraising consulting group, Magruder shielded his Watergate reputation at first, but later opened up because of people’s interest in it, said Jim Keith, the company’s former senior vice president. “He finally grew where he was open enough to be able to talk with them about it,” Keith, now retired in Dallas, said Friday. Magruder had new struggles in retirement. Besides the 2007 crash — when accident investigators concluded he had a stroke — he pleaded no contest in 2003 to disorderly conduct after police in the Columbus suburb of Grandview found him passed out on a sidewalk. Despite his problems, Magruder continued to advocate doing the right thing in retirement. He told The Columbus Dispatch in 2003 that Americans should work for moral change by helping the homeless or working with Habitat for Humanity. In his 1974 book, “An American Life: One Man’s Road to Watergate,” Magruder blamed his role in the scandal on ambition and losing sight of an ethical compass. “Instead of applying our private morality to public affairs, we accepted the President’s standards of political behavior, and the results were tragic for him and for us,” he wrote. �Sunday Times-Sentinel SPORTS SUNDAY, MAY 18, 2014 mdsports@civitasmedia.com B1 Eastern rolls past Lady Jeeps, 21-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern softball team captured its sixth straight sectional title in convincing fashion Thursday night following a 21-0 victory in five innings over visiting South Webster in a Division IV sectional final at Don Jackson Field in Meigs County. The top-seeded Lady Eagles (22-2) had minimal trouble in earning their sixth consecutive trip to districts as the hosts had nine different players pound out 17 hits in the mercy-rule decision. EHS junior Grace Edwards also tossed a majority of a nohitter and allowed only two Lady Jeeps to reach base. Eastern sent 11 batters to the plate in the first inning, which resulted in eight runs on five hits, three errors and two walks. EHS followed by sending 13 batters to the plate in the second which netted another nine runs for a commanding 17-0 cushion after two complete. SWHS managed its first baserunner of the night with two outs in the third after Hill reached on an error, but was ultimately left stranded on base. Mysser was also hit by a pitch to start the fourth but was picked off trying to steal. Eastern sent nine batters to the plate in its half of the fourth, which resulted in four runs on four hits, a walk and an error — making it a 21-0 contest headed into the fifth. South Webster went down in order, allowing the Lady Eagles to move on. Eastern — which now has 19 sectional titles overall — will face Portsmouth Clay in the district semifinals at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Minford High School. Edwards was the winning pitcher of record and struck out seven over four innings of work. Jess Coleman struck out two in an inning of relief.

The Gallia Academy baseball team trailed 10-6 through three innings of play Thursday night but the Blue Devils chipped away and managed to take the 11-10 victory in nine innings, earning the sectional title. Two hits and two errors helped the visiting Falcons to a pair runs in the top of the first inning but the Blue Devils had an answer. Four Minford errors along with three hits and a walk propelled Gallia Academy into a 6-2 lead through one inning. After a scoreless second frame Minford struck big in the third inning with eight runs, highlighted by a two-run double by Alley. The Blue Devils began its slow comeback as Gage Childers tripled home Ty Warnimont in the fourth inning, trimming the lead to 10-7. A Warnimont sacrifice fly in the brought home Kole Carter in the fifth, while Eric Ward brought home Justin Sizemore with a Gallia Academy senior Gage Childers (4) slides into third pinch hit single in the sixth, cutting the deficit to one.

Logan wins SEOAL All-Sports Trophy By Craig Dunn Special to OVP By sweeping the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League season’s final two events — the boys and girls track and field meets — Logan High School earned its first SEOAL William E. (Bill) Thomas All-Sports Trophy in six years. Logan, which was in third place in the AST standings heading into the May 13 track and field meets at Gallia Academy High School, was able to leapfrog both Gallipolis and Jackson to take the trophy. Warren High School had won the last two titles and, prior to that, Marietta had won three-straight championships. The trophy will thus leave Washington County for the first time since Logan possessed it following the 2007-08 school year. Logan led the All-Sports Trophy standings after the conclusion of the fall and winter seasons, but dropped into third place after Jackson won the league softball title, Gallipolis claimed the boys tennis crown, and Jackson and Gallipolis shared the baseball championship. LHS thus finishes with 39.5 points — earning 10 huge points for the sweep in track — followed by Gal- lipolis (37.5), Warren (36), Jackson (33.5) and Portsmouth (18.5). Logan, Gallipolis, Warren and Jackson all had a chance to win the All-Sports Trophy heading into the boys and girls track meets. Any of the four schools — even fourth-place Warren, which was only 1.5 points out of first place — would have won the AST by sweeping the track championships. Gallipolis and Jackson (30.5) were in front entering the track meets, followed by Logan (29.5) and Warren (29).

Maynard has a total of 66.5 points after the latest round, which puts him four points ahead of current runner-up Carl Cline (62.5). Charlie Hargraves (57.5) and Dale Miller (57.0) are currently third and fourth, respectively, in the league standings. A total of 73 players took part in Tuesday’s round, which made 19 points possible with 16 foursomes and a trio of three-man squads. The quartet of Bobby Walker, Jay Rees, Randall Thornhill and Dale Miller, and the foursome of Roger Putney, Tom McNeely, Don Ramsey and Claude Profitt posted matching winning scores of 9-under par 61. There was also a tie for third place between the teams of Fred Pyles, Rick Handley, James Casey and Tom Fisher and Ken Whited, Carl Cline, Charlie Paxton and Haskel Jones. Both foursomes fired matching scores of 7-under par 63. The closest to the pin winners were Mitch Mace on the ninth hole and Bobby Walker on No. 14.

SOUTH POINT, Ohio — Just a little too late. The River Valley baseball team scored five times in the top of the seventh, but that late rally ultimately wasn’t enough to prolong the postseason Wednesday night following a 6-5 setback to host South Point in a Division III sectional semifinal in Lawrence County. The 15th-seeded Raiders never led in the contest, but the guests battled consistently through four innings en route to a 1-0 deficit. The second-seeded Pointers, however, plated four runs in the fifth to establish a comfortable 5-0 edge, then tacked on an insurance run in the sixth for a six-run cushion headed into the finale. RVHS got one-out singles from Cody Lee and Tim Kemper, then Lee scored on a single by Mike Williams to make it a 6-1 contest. Austin Barber singled and an error allowed both Kemper and Williams to score, cutting the lead in half at 6-3. Errors allowed River Valley to score two more times to pull to within 6-5 and the guests had the bases loaded with two outs, but Tyler Cline inadvertently got caught in a run down between third and home. Cline was tagged out to end the game, allowing SPHS to survive and advance on to the sectional final.

Allison — a three-time SEOAL champion in track and a two-time state podium finisher in indoor track — spoke about what drove him to choose being a Crusader and how his prep years as a Blue Devil have prepared him for this newest endeavour. “They have a nice campus and some top-notch facilities up there, so having that to work with was really appealing for the next four years. I have had some of the best coaches during my high school career at Gallia Academy because they are always interested in what I’m doing and putting me in situations where I can succeed.” Allison — who also earned special mention honors on the 2013 AP Southeast District football team — plans on majoring in Nursing and is the son of Mark and Amy Allison of Centenary. Seated in front, from left, are Amy, Logan and Mark Allison. Standing in back are GAHS assistant coach Nate Hall, GAHS head coach Paul Close and GAHS athletic director Brent Simms. SEOAL From Page B1 All-Sports Trophy points are determined on a 5-4-3-21 basis in sports where all five schools field full teams. In other sports, points are determined as to how many teams competed for the title, with fractional points awarded in case of ties. With five full-time conference members, at least four schools must field a team, or at least register a team score, for points to count in a particular sport. Since Warren doesn’t have boys tennis, for example, those points were determined on a 4-3-2-1 basis. Points scored by Athens, an associate member of the league in tennis and soccer, do not count and positioning points are determined by how the SEOAL schools rank. Portsmouth leaves the SEOAL for the Ohio Valley Conference after the 2014-15 school year, but officials from Gallia Academy, Jackson, Logan and Warren high schools have already announced that they will remain together as, beginning in 2015-16, a four-team league. Athens (boys and girls soccer and boys and girls tennis) and Alexander (boys and girls soccer) high schools are currently associate members and are eligible to win league championships and earn all-league honors for their athletes. As mentioned, however, their positioning points do not count in the All-Sports Trophy standings. The SEOAL, one of the longest-running prep conferences in the state, was formed by William E. (Bill) Thomas of Wellston in 1925 and began competition with a boys track meet that spring, with 1925-26 being the first full season of conference competition. Following are the 2013-14 season point breakdowns: Final standings: 1, Logan 39.5. 2, Gallipolis 37.5. 3, Warren 36. 4, Jackson 33.5. 5, Portsmouth 18.5. Fall sports: Logan 15, Jackson 13, Warren 12, Gallipolis 11, Portsmouth 4. Winter sports: Warren 10, Logan 9.5, Gallipolis 8, Jackson 7, Portsmouth 5.5. Spring sports: Gallipolis 18.5, Logan 15, Warren 14, Jackson 13.5, Portsmouth 9. Boys: Logan 26, Gallipolis 23.5, Warren 21.5, Jackson 19.5, Portsmouth 14.5. Girls: Warren 14.5, Gallipolis and Jackson 14, Logan 13.5, Portsmouth 4. Championships: Logan 5 (football, golf, girls cross country*, boys track and girls track); Gallipolis 4 (volleyball, wrestling, co-baseball and boys tennis); Jackson 4 (girls soccer*, girls basketball, softball and co-baseball); Warren 3 (boys soccer, boys cross country* and co-boys basketball); Portsmouth 1 (co-boys basketball); Athens 1 (girls tennis*). *—Recognized as league champion but sport does not count in the All-Sports Trophy standings due to not enough schools participating or not registering a team score.

Hutton, a 5-foot-9 sprinter, and Rowe, a 5-foot-2 sprinter, are both currently in the process of closing out their respective prep careers for head coach Michael Kennedy’s Marauders. Hutton has competed in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dash events for MHS. His top time in each of the three events came during his sophomore year. He has run, primarily, in the 100 this spring. “I’m thankful for all the support that my team and my family have shown me,” Hutton said. “I’m extremely honored to have the opportunity to continue my career with the RedStorm next year. It’s something I’ve thought about since I was about six years old - when I first started running.” Rowe has competed in the 100-meter dash and the long jump this spring, while also taking part in the 200-meter dash and the 100-meter hurdles during her prep career. Her top showing of 14-0 in the long jump came earlier this year. “Having this opportunity is something I’ve dreamed about since I was in the fifth grade,” said Rowe. “I’m thankful, honored, excited and extremely nervous.” For Rowe, the signing was an example of her own self-assessment being proven wrong. “My coach, my best friend and my fellow track- Submitted photo | URG Athletics Meigs High School track and field standouts Jordan Hutton and Adrianna Rowe are joined by family, coaches and adminstrators as they sign to continue their respective careers at the University of Rio Grande. Sitting, from left, are Adrianna Rowe, Rio Grande coach Steve Gruenberg and Jordan Hutton; Standing in back are Dreama English, Meigs High track coach Mike Kennedy, Meigs High School principal Steve Ohlinger, Chris Hutton and Shelly Adams. sters always encouraged me to go for it,’ she said. “I always thought I wouldn’t be good enough, but with their help and support, it helped me strive to be the best I could be.” Rowe, who plans to major in Nursing, picked Rio Grande over the Univer- sity of Charleston. “Adrianna is full of excitement and passion for her sport and has a great attitude,” said Gruenberg. “I think that with the proper training and great teammates around her that she’ll develop into a good runner and jumper for us.” Hutton, who also garnered interest from Augusta (Ky.) College and Bluffton University, pointed toward two specific factors in his decision to sign with the RedStorm. “I really like the direction that the program is headed in,” said Hutton, who plans to major in Radiology. “And I also love the university.” “Jordan is a great kid who will develop once he gets here,” Gruenberg said. “I believe that with his strength from football that he’ll be able to become a good sprinter. I’m excited to have his work ethic on the team and I believe that it’ll be contagious.” Both signees admitted that there are portions of their craft that need improvement, but added that they’re ready to get the process started. “I need to work on my block starts, but I think I’ll bring a lot of heart and hard work to the program,” Hutton said. “My ultimate goal is to make it to nationals.” “I can get better with my form in the long jump, my ability to pace myself and my block starts,” said Rowe. “I’ve got a little bit of a sassy attitude, but I want to have fun and support my teammates. I just want to get better, to win and to help my team.” Hutton is the son of Shelly Adams and Chris Hutton of Rutland, Ohio. Rowe is the daughter of Cindy and Anthony Rowe of Pomeroy. �?îE96î@A6? By Jim Freeman In The Open To quote Yogi Berra, “the future ain’t what it used to be.” Growing up when I did, the popular vision of what the future held involved cities on the moon and flying cars, neither of which has come to pass, but I never imagined the real future would be symbolized by an object a little larger than a pack of cards with the ability to put the whole world at our fingertips. Ultimately we’re all going to have to decide for ourselves whether technology is improving or ruining outdoor pastimes like hunting and fishing; I assume it’s a question that came up the first time homo erectus attached a sharp rock to a stick and used it to clobber some unsuspecting Pleistocene critter. I recently got a new smartphone, a move I had been resisting until my “dinosaur” cell phone finally died. Up to that point, my experience with smartphones was pretty much limited to asking my wife to look at the weather radar or to find the cheapest nearby gas station. For some of you, particularly the younger crowd, this column comes a couple of years too late, but for some us just getting used to the technology it can be a little overwhelming. After a little familiarization I began downloading apps for bird identification, weather, stargazing and other outdoor related things. As my oldest daughter put it, I actually managed to make an iPhone 5 “uncool.” Success! I have this discussion with other hunters recently, and fishermen too, where they have posted photos of their trophies or their children’s trophies and catches on social media directly from the field, sharing them with all their friends and family in seconds. In most cases they have checked their deer or turkey from also right there in the field. On a more serious note, your phone can also alert you to the approach of dangerous weather, summon help if you are lost or injured, or even let your friends and family know precisely where you are. A quick search of the internet revealed smartphone apps that can do all of the following: Identify some strange bird you just saw. Predict the best times for hunting and fishing. Help you practice calling for waterfowl, wild turkey or predators. Record your hunts and save data for statistical analysis. Get tips from a survival manual. Assist you with marksmanship and calculate bullet trajectory. Look at maps and aerial photographs of your hunting areas or even track your hunting buddies. Find places to fish and check reports and reviews. Find the closest or cheapest gas station. Check out places to eat and read reviews. Read your favorite hunting and fishing magazine or chat with friends if you get bored. Find a Geocache. The list is literally endless. For the record I haven’t actually tested all of these apps (who has time for that?) but they are out there and all of this power is at your fingertips… that is, if you have signal or if your battery doesn’t die. Of course you can buy hunting and fishing licenses and tags and check your game on a smartphone, and take a photo of your license and keep it on your phone so that if you lose it you can print out another. The paper copy of hunting and fishing licenses may soon be obsolete, but for now Ohio Revised Code still requires you to carry your printed license(s) on your person while hunting and/or fishing. A smartphone literally takes the place of several commonly carried items: a phone, watch, computer, camera, etc. From a safety point of view, make sure you carry your phone on your person instead of in a bag or pack - it doesn’t do you any good if it is still up in a tree while you are sprawled out on the ground below after a fall, also invest in a good case and perhaps a portable power pack for recharges afield. I will leave it up to you to decide if it is a good thing to literally carry the world in your pocket with you when you are hunting or fishing, but one thing for sure is that it isn’t going away.

Both Wahama and Hannan had at least one competitor advance to the state level, with the Lady Wildcats being the only one of the four track programs to not qualify an athlete to Laidley Field. WHS had eight individuals make it in eight different events, while the Wildcats had one athlete make it in two separate contests. The White Falcons qualified in six events, three of which were at-large bids in relays. Austin Juelfs was third and qualified in the long jump with a leap of 19 feet, 1.75 inches. Ian Kapp earned an at-large bid in the 3200m run with a sixth-place time of 10:50.82, while Johnnie Ohlinger also advanced with a sixth-place effort in the 800m run (2:10.97). The foursome of Juelfs, Jacob Ryan, Jarred Nutter and Wesley Jones placed fifth in the 4x100m relay with a time of 48.54 seconds, while the quartet of Nutter, Ryan, Anthony Howard and Michael Hendricks placed sixth in the 4x400m relay (3:50.22). The 4x800m squad of Ohlinger, Hendricks, Howard and Ian Kapp also qualified for state with a sixth-place finish of 9:09.40. Hannan had a double-qualifier in Zack Killingsworth, who finished second in the shot put (44-9.5) and sixth in the discus (119-9). Doddridge County won the Class A Region 4 boys title with 147 points, followed by runner-up Buffalo with 115 points. Wahama (22) and Hannan (11) respectively placed seventh and ninth in the 11-team field. Karson Tolliver was the lone female to advance to state for WHS as she placed fourth in the 200m dash (28.10) and fourth in the long jump (14-5.5). Williamstown won the Region 4 girls crown with 170 points, followed by runner-up Doddridge County with 129 points. The Lady Falcons were eighth out of eight teams with 10 points.

The White Falcons (16-9) didn’t allow a run in their second straight matchup against the Red Devils, who dropped an 18-0 decision on Tuesday in the first postseason meeting. Calhoun County (7-17) defeated Hannan twice to reach the second matchup with WHS. Wahama scored twice in the first and four more times in the second to take a 6-0 lead after two complete, then both teams simply posted zeroes on the scoreboard the rest of the way — allowing the White Falcons to move on to regional play. Wahama will travel to Buffalo on Monday, May 26, for a regional semifinal matchup at 6 p.m. A pair of CCHS errors allowed WHS to get Kane Roush and Wyatt Zuspan aboard safely in the first, then Wesley Harrison lifted a sacrifice fly to center that allowed Roush to score — giving the hosts an early 1-0 lead. Brent Larck followed with a two-out single that plated Zuspan for a 2-0 edge. Demetrius Serevicz led the second off with a walk, then Garret Miller launched a two-run home run to left center for a 4-0 cushion. After making consecutive outs, Hunter Bradley followed with a solo shot to left field for a 5-0 advantage, then back-to-back doubles by Zuspan and Harrison resulted in a 6-0 edge. Both teams had six hits apiece in the contest, with Calhoun County committing two of the three errors in the contest. The Red Devils stranded nine runners on base while the hosts left just four on the bags. Bradley, Zuspan, Harrison, Larck, Serevicz and Miller each had a hit for the victors, with Harrison leading the way with two RBIs. Zuspan also scored twice for the White Falcons. Miller was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two hits and one walk over three innings while striking out seven. Zuspan worked four innings of relief and allowed four hits and two walks while fanning three. Starcher and Ritchie paced CCHS with two hits apiece, while Fulks and Moore added a safety apiece. Moore suffered the setback after allowing four earned runs and two walks over six frames while striking out five. Generals even things up with Point, 12-2 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Two down, one to go. Visiting Winfield pulled even in its bestof-3 series with the Point Pleasant baseball team Thursday night following a 12-2 victory in five innings during a Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 contest held at PPHS in Mason County. The Generals (10-20) never trailed in the contest as the guests stormed out to a 4-2 lead one inning in and ultimately never looked back. WHS added another run in the second and five more in the third for a sizable 10-2 edge, then tacked on two more scores in the fifth to wrap up the mercy-rule decision. The host Big Blacks (16-10) were outhit by a 12-7 overall margin and also committed all three errors in the contest. PPHS stranded 10 runners on base while WHS left eight on the bags. Alex Somerville suffered the setback after surrendering 10 runs (six earned), eight hits and two walks over three innings while striking out two. Casey Frye was the winning pitcher of record after allowing just three walks over five frames while fanning three. Somerville, Cody Sockwell, Austen Toler, Evan Potter, Levi Russell, Abe Stearns and Bruce McDermitt each had a hit in the setback. Potter and Russell drove in an RBI apiece, while Potter and Somerville scored a run apiece. Jordan Clark, John Bellomy, Bryan Bosley and Derek Whiteside led Winfield with two hits apiece. Bosley drove in a teamhigh four RBIs and Bellomy added three RBIs to the winning cause.

Now. We know just where to start. Youth baseball. No more children playing all through the year, with hardly a break between seasons. No more youngsters throwing sliders and splitters and all sorts of pitches that put too much stress on their still-developing arms. And certainly no more high schoolers dishing up 194 pitches in a single game. With baseball in the midst of what looks increasingly like an epidemic of elbow injuries and Tommy John surgeries, it’s time for someone to acknowledge that a big part of the problem can surely be traced to our overworked kids. They are enduring far too much wear and tear on their immature bodies — their arms especially — in a misguided quest to make it to the big leagues. Those few who do make it often pay a heavy price. “Most of the major leaguers and minor leaguers that come into our practice with liga- ment problems,” says Dr. James Andrews, who has performed countless Tommy John operations over his long career, “if you take a good, close look at their histories, a large part of them link back to some minor injury as a kid. “It started in youth baseball. That’s the real culprit.” The major league brass is so concerned that it plans to hold a summit in New York next week, bringing in experts such as Andrews to figure out why so many of the game’s top hurlers have been stricken with this devastating injury, some for the second time. The Atlanta Braves probably qualify for a Tommy John BOGO, considering they’ve already sent three pitchers (Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy and Cory Gearrin) to the operating table this year, and are still hoping for the return of reliever Jonny Venters, who underwent the procedure last year. Medlen, Beachy and Venters all have two Tommy Johns on their medical charts — and none has celebrated his 30th birthday. The biggest blow yet occurred down in Miami, where Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, just 21 and perhaps the most gifted young pitcher in the game, was headed to surgery Friday to have his elbow ligament replaced. It will be at least a year before we see him on the mound again. Well, enough’s enough. While it won’t be of help to this generation of big leaguers, whose damage is already done, maybe those who are just getting started on their baseball careers won’t have to endure so much pain. Already, Little League and other youth baseball organizations have instituted well-intentioned rules to limit pitch counts and reduce the stress on a young player’s arm. But more drastic steps are needed, especially for those moving into their teenage years. That’s when the best players often compete for both their high schools and elite travel teams, the games stretching from spring to summer and on through the fall, all while mom and dad are doling out big bucks to pay for private lessons on the side. Andrews recommends that all young pitchers should take at least two months off each year, and he says three or four months would be even better. Unfortunately for many of these kids, there’s no such thing as an off season. “The professional ranks protect their pitchers a lot better than they do in the high schools,” Andrews says. No kidding. In Rochester, Washington, prep pitcher Dylan Fosnacht threw 194 pitches over 14 scoreless innings in a district tournament game this week. It’s a feat that might’ve been celebrated in an earlier era, but should be raising nothing but red flags in light of what’s happening in the big leagues. The state high school association says the outlandish feat was within its rules. Ridiculous. The coach defended leaving his starter in the game, saying he checked with Fosnacht before every inning and he didn’t seem to be tiring. Talk about passing the buck. And Fosnacht took issue with anyone who wanted to blame his coach or parents for endangering his health. Which is to be expected, since the teen became an instant social media sensation. “People need to chill,” Fosnacht wrote on Twitter, which meant he could at least still raise his arm to type out a message. But Tommy John — yep, the Tommy John, the one who first had a ligament replaced in his elbow and wound up with an operation that will forever bear his name — says the problem starts at home. Like Andrews and others in the medical profession, John subscribes to the theory that many of these elbow injuries can be traced back to playing too much ball at too young an age. While he says any coach who would let a high school pitcher throw nearly 200 pitches in a game deserves to be fired, he puts ultimate blame on the parents. “The parents get built into the idea that little junior is going to get pitching lessons from the guy who pitched minor league baseball, who’s going to get paid two, three grand a winter, and he comes down twice a week and works on his pitching and all this,” John says. “He should be working on his strength playing basketball, playing football, playing lacrosse, playing something other than throwing a baseball. “It won’t make him better. It will just increase his chances of down the road of having Tommy John surgery.” Browns release inconsistent WR Greg Little Plan From Page B5 rendition of the competitive-balance plan will work “because it looks at how schools secure the enrollment of their students participating in interscholastic athletics.” Enrollment has been the only factor in deciding a team’s division in tournament play. Now where athletes’ parents reside and each athlete’s educational-system history will also be considered. The new rule applies only to boys’ football, soccer, basketball and baseball and girls’ soccer, volleyball, basketball and softball. OHSAA member schools passed 14 revisions to the organizing body’s bylaws. High school principals had between May 1 and May 15 to cast their ballots, with one issue before the seventh- and eighth-grade principals. A simple majority is required to adopt the proposal. One, making it mandatory for schools to return a ballot, ended in a virtual tie. The totals will be recounted next week. Ballots were mailed to 820 high schools, with 737 voting (including one ballot that was declared invalid). RENT IT CLEVELAND (AP) — In a switch, Greg Little was dropped by the Browns. The inconsistent wide receiver, whose flashes of excellence were often overshadowed by crucial drops and off-the-field drama, was released on Friday. The 24-year-old Little became expendable after Cleveland added veteran wide receivers Miles Austin and Earl Bennett to its roster on Thursday. Those moves were made for insurance in case Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon is suspended by the league for failing another drug test for marijuana. Gordon was suspended for the first two games last season, but led the league with 1,646 yards receiving. Last week, Browns general manager Ray Farmer said he believed Little could improve. “The young man’s talented,” Farmer said during the NFL draft. “The question mark would then fall onto can he be consistent and do the things that he has physically demonstrated he can do at times. If he continues to do those things and add a level of consistency, the difference between being good and great is consistency. “When a guy shows you he can do anything, he shows you he can jump up and make the one-handed catch, he shows you he can break a tackle, the question then is can he repeatedly do that over and over again. That’s the difference between being average or marginal and good or great.” Little’s departure ends a sometimes turbulent three-year run for him in Cleveland.

And while he produced — he led the team in receptions in 2011 and 2012 — the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Little let too many passes slip from his hands and he had his share of other non-football issues. Last season, Little vowed to act more responsibly after it was revealed that he crashed his car driving 127 mph — more than 70 mph over the legal speed limit. He called his actions “mindless.” Little was cited for drag racing and he expressed remorse for putting his life, and the life of a passenger in his expensive car, in danger. Little was reprimanded by thencoach Rob Chudzinski, who did not reveal his punishment. �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, MAY 18, 2014 ALONG THE RIVER Photo courtesy of Getty Images FAMILY FEATURES W hen it comes to offering specialized, one-on-one support and niche product offerings, nothing beats shopping with a locally-owned small business. In a recent survey fielded by The UPS Store to get the pulse of business in America, 94 percent of consumers believe that supporting small companies within their community is important. The survey also found that consumers are increasingly willing to spend more money and travel further out of their way to shop with a small business. “We know that small businesses are a vital part of our neighborhoods and our entire economy,” said Tim Davis, president of The UPS Store. “Small business owners, from startups to wellestablished neighborhood businesses, have the ability to make a big impact within their community and beyond.” As an entrepreneur, you may wonder how you can cash in on this rising popularity and expand your own enterprise to reach these quality-seeking customers. Here are a few ways to make a big impact with your small business: 1. Go above and beyond for customers While it seems companies keep getting bigger, instances of excellent customer service seem to be dwindling. Due to this widespread lack of quality, many individuals are choosing to support small business when it comes to obtaining what they need. Small companies have the unique opportunity to provide one-on-one attention to their customers. Those who excel at enticing and serving customers set themselves apart from the competition. 2. Get involved in your community Some of the best marketing you can provide your small company is with involvement in philanthropic efforts in your local community. Though restricted budgets cause some small businesses to keep charity to a minimum, there are a variety of other meaningful ways to show your organization’s generosity. Give your time to charitable causes related to your field. For example, if you sell pet products, offer to volunteer at a local animal shelter. Or, if your field is architecture, get your company involved in organizations that build homes for families in need. If you have employees, encourage them to also help out. Sponsor a company-wide volunteer event at a local food pantry or offer paid time off for such charitable endeavors. 3. Make products and services stand out As a small business owner, you have the advantage over big box stores who lack specialized knowledge. Offer your customer base a niche product or service that can’t be found elsewhere. Give them quality, both in the product and customer support, and your business will reap the rewards of happy, repeat customers and word-of-mouth promotion. If you offer several products, but find that most customers want only one or two offerings, focus on increasing the quality on that area of business. 4. Share your knowledge through education and mentorship As a small business owner, you offer those within your community a unique background and expertise. One of the easiest ways to give back is by educating eager minds interested in your field. Whether lecturing at the local college or getting involved in a mentorship program, presenting yourself as a respected colleague not only sheds a positive light on your company, it also helps you build relationships. These relationships can be informal or you can team up with an organization like SCORE to volunteer as a mentor. For more information, visit www.score.org. 5. Expand your reach through technology Social media allows small businesses to reach a global population like never before. Start small with just one social media outlet and then build on your presence from there. If you have a marketing team, ask that they maintain the account, or hire an outside consultant. Your website is also a powerful tool, so make sure it reflects your business in the way you want to be portrayed. Regularly update your site to keep it current with the changing times. Also, make sure your website is optimized so more people looking for your unique products and services can easily find you.

Meigs County residents interested in applying should make an appointment with Carrie Crislip, NRCS district conservationist for Meigs County, at 740-9926646 to start the application process. To receive consideration for funding this year, application must be made by June 20, 2014 according to a news release. Ohio NRCS state conservationist Terry Cosby announced that $500,000 from the Ohio NRCS EQIP budget has been set aside for pasture and farmstead improvements in Adams, Athens, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Scioto and Vinton counties. The conservation practices selected for this program do more than improve pasture quality and protect the region’s soil and water resources.

The 7,600 farms in the 10-county area average about 140 acres each, adding up to more than 1 million acres of farmland. Water draining from this land carries sediment and nutrients from pastures to the Ohio River, eventually ending up in the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River. The conservation practices offered through the Southern Ohio Appalachian EQIP help prevent this from happening. Grazing animals can cause erosion problems, especially when the ground is wet and when the animals are contained near the farmstead in colder weather. Conservation practices such as heavy-use area protection and designated reinforced stream crossings prevent erosion and keep animals safer. Developing watering areas within the pasture helps with grazing management, as does constructing firm access roads between pastures. Portable fencing makes rotational grazing easier and allows pastures to regrow, improving the quality of pasture forages while also protecting the soil from exposure due to overgrazing. All of these conservation practices used together as part of a prescribed grazing system plan facilitates grazing management, with the added benefit of healthier animals and healthier land. The NRCS conservationist working with the farmer will develop a conservation plan based on the farmer’s goals. Applicants selected to participate in the Southern Ohio Appalachian EQIP will receive payments from NRCS that cover a part of the cost of implementing the conservation practices they choose to include in their conservation plan.

The company recently relocated from Louisville, Ky., to a tiny twostory building sandwiched between the former Stone & Thomas department store and the AT&T building. It’s a little reminiscent of the house from the “Stuart Little” movies. But it’s the perfect home for a company whose unofficial motto is “Stay cozy.” Kin Ship Goods produces a line of light-hearted home goods and apparel that have been featured in Country Living Magazine and websites like Apartment Therapy, Design Sponge and ModCloth. Their most popular item is a Tshirt featuring a silhouette of a cat’s head, overlaid with the slogan “Ask me about my cat.” “That’s what pays the rent,” she said. The company’s other products are similarly ebullient. The secondmost popular design depicts a kitten reading a book. Another design features a mountain sunrise, and another sports the faux-profane catchphrase “What the Cuss?” There’s a baby romper that boasts “Too young for coffee but still going strong.” Co-founders Dan Davis, 30, and Hillary Harrison, 33, started Kin Ship Goods in 2009, while they were both working at an art gallery. Davis was a longtime screen printer and Harrison worked as the gallery’s purchasing agent. “We said ‘Let’s just make our own stuff,’” Davis said. The operation started small, with Davis printing shirts in a spare bedroom. But then Kin Ship Goods was featured on the front page of Etsy, an online marketplace for crafters and artists.

Former student-run store in Wheeling reaps profits By Shelley Hanson WHEELING, W.Va. — Most of the 88 investors in the Madison General Store at Madison Elementary School probably forgot they purchased stock in the business in 1987. But since the studentrun store closed three years ago it is now time to liquidate the stock, said Rosemary Anderson, a retired mathematics teacher who started the program. Investors, who included teachers, school administrators and parents, purchased one share of stock for $1. Now that one share is worth $10, Anderson said. She plans to send letters to the stockholders letting them know they have money coming back to them if they want it. The account holds $2,748. “It was a huge adventure. The kids loved it and it provided a service. It gave them a lot opportunity to work with money and retail,” she said. The idea for the store came about after the students had questions about the stock market at that time. To help them learn about how stocks work, Anderson and the students consulted with a local broker, Ken Baber, who advised them to do a two-week limited stock sale. The Madison General Store also received a business license and paid taxes to the state of West Virginia. The students took turns working the store and received 25 cents a day to do so. They ordered the inventory, which consisted of about $1,000 in school supplies. They had a board of directors. They had rules and punishments related to shoplifting. They wrapped the coins collected in the cash register and took them to the nearby WesBanco bank for deposit. available for viewing feature interior design by Laura Davis McCutcheon, of David McCutcheon Interiors, and each condo sale comes with 20 complimentary hours of interior design work by McCutcheon. “The two-bedroom unit is the more formal of the two because, in my experience, my clients like that more formal, traditional experience,” McCutcheon said. “This one is transitional — a mix of traditional and modern elements. We have a double-sided (gas) fireplace in the two-bedroom units so you can experience that on both the living room and dining room side.” The living room features an optional 10-foot-long wet bar upgrade in lieu of closet space. “A lot of our potential buyers have really enjoyed seeing that because they will be entertaining a lot in these spaces,” McCutcheon said. The hallways are Americans with Disabilities Act accessible, thus wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. “It’s been a real selling perk,” Barth noted. “Because it is an older crowd interested in these condos for the price point that they are at. We understand that. A lot of people are attracted to it because once they make this move they don’t need to go anywhere else. It’s wheelchair accessible, it’s accessible at any hour of the day, you have people around and help around and the hotel services.” The units that face the river will give condo owners a ringside, if elevated, seat to the weekly summertime Live on the Levee music series down on ground level at Haddad Riverfront Park. “You have a live free concert every May through August, every year, out front,” Barth said. Each unit comes with two parking spaces, one on the ground floor and one in the hotel garage, and the finished units feature a wide variety of closet space. “A lot of the potential buyers are moving from larger spaces and they are downsizing to get into these units,” McCutcheon said. “So, I wanted to provide a lot of closet space so they could keep quite a few things they didn’t want to get rid of quite just yet.” The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register Orders came flooding in, and the business eventually became steady enough for Davis and Harrison to quit their other jobs and devote their full attention to Kin Ship. The couple began talking about moving to West Virginia three years ago. “The timing felt right,” Harrison said. She was raised in Sissonville but moved away as soon as she gradu- ated from high school. “I knew the whole time I grew up here I was going to leave when I turned 18,” she said. But the mountains kept calling her home. Davis, who was born in Germany but raised in Louisville, Ky., visited Charleston with Harrison and found he liked the area, too. “I like that it’s big, but it doesn’t feel big,” he said. Condos From Page C2 The spaces vary slightly, with higher ceilings on the 12th floor and small balconies. “With the Sheraton being a hotel, for a small fee, (residents) be able to use all hotel amenities, from room service and the pool, to the workout facility and the airport shuttle. “So, if you’re ready to downsize, stop worrying about yard work, like to travel, be able to lock and leave, then this is a prime example of what you can move down to and still have a home and the luxury feel that someone might want,” Barth said.
