For instance, the controversy began with the deaths of an entire herd of cattle, yet the company is so far refusing to provide EPArequested testing of local cattle, locally grown produce, and many other sets of environmental monitoring data promised more than a decade ago. C8, also known as PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid, was detected in local drinking water supplies in 2001 and 2002. The discovery led to a class action lawsuit against DuPont brought by local water consumers who feared health effects from exposure to the manmade surfactant. As a result of the class action lawsuit settlement, an independent panel of epidemiologists known as the C8 Science Panel determined after several years An extensive paper trail reveals that DuPont promised to fill in data gaps identified by the EPA as early as 2003, then repeatedly failed to deliver the requested information. of study that C8 exposure is linked to pre-eclampsia, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, and kidney and testicular cancer. Dozens of area residents who have fallen ill are in the process of filing personal injury claims against the com- pany, which will be handled as multi-district litigation in federal court. This week, Cincinnati attorney Robert Bilott, who was the lead attorney for the class in the groundbreaking C8 suit, is urging the US EPA to force DuPont to provide the promised monitoring in order to “address ongoing threats to human health and the environment”. Prior to the class action lawsuit, Bilott represented the Tennant family — a Washington, West Virginia family of farmers who lost their entire herd of 280 cattle to a mysterious wasting disease. His investigation into the cattle deaths led to the discovery of C8, or PFOA, in local water supplies including Belpre, Tuppers Plains, Little Hocking See ISSUES ‌| 5 Wanted: Safe homes for area foster kids Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com Swing and swaying to the music of “Bye, Bye Birdie” are from the left, seated, Hannah King, Rachel Payne and Alyssa Cremeans, and standing, Karlie Hall, Keanna Robinson, McKenzie Whobrey, Makenzie Greene and Odessa Jacks. ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ comedy coming POMEROY — The musical comedy, “Bye Bye Birdie,” will be presented by the MHS Drama Club at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Meigs High School auditorium.

Martin met with Council at its Monday night meeting and explained his plan for a $100,000 renovation. He discussed some of the structural issues which he said would have to be addressed, the need for checking the drainage system which is in place to be sure it would drain rain water, the need for walkways and fencing around the pool, and possibly bracing of the structure which would be required. He indicated he would do the work involved in the conversion. On display was a large drawing on hardboard showing the proposed design for a skate park “as it would look like from the air,” he said. He added that before anything was done, the public would have to be given the opportunity to contribute ideas for the design. Martin agreed with village officials that it would take a lot of support in the community, but reminded officials that by converting it into a skate park that would “make it a community monument.” He added that it would take a massive amount of money to remove the old structure. Martin described skating as a positive, individual sport which he felt would appeal to many, but also agreed that community interest would have to be determined before work on such a project could be started. As for funding to support the project, he mentioned the Tony Hawk Fund and several other grants that might be available. Mayor Michael Gerlach suggested to Martin that he come up with a list of possible grant opportunities. He also said that an engineer would have Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel to come in and check out the stability Mayor Michael Gerlach displays Brewce Martin’s design for building a skate park in the Middleport swimming pool. of some parts of the structure. �Thursday, April 11, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com May 6 deadline approaching for flood recovery assistance Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com WASHINGTON D.C. — Small businesses in nine southeast Ohio counties will now have access to federal resources to offset losses as a result of excessive rain and flooding that occurred between May 2 and May 4, 2012.

A preliminary hearing has been set for 9 a.m. on April 15 in the municipal courtroom. Following the preliminary hearing, it is expected that this case will be bound over to the Gallia County Common Pleas Court where it will be heard by a grand jury. Hively is currently being held in the Gallia County Jail. He has retained defense attorney Charles Knight as counsel. �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Thursday, April 11, 2013 Cold War thinking The absurdity of ‘universal’ is very dangerous gun background checks Peter G. Cohen The people who brought you to the very cusp of nuclear war in the Cold War want the US to keep doing so. Well, some of them do. Others don’t. The American people need to think about this and insist on a solution. We should be moving past those insane risks toward a world that is sustainable, not just a bluff-and-hope flirtation with The End. Claiming “Obama’s ‘nuclear zero’ rhetoric is dangerous,” four very distinguished defense experts have warned of the dangers of pursuing nuclear disarmament. In their March 29, 2013 opinion-editorial for The Washington Post, Douglas Feith, Frank Gaffney, James Lyons and James Woolsey write that they believe that by saying U.S. policy is to create a world without nuclear weapons, Obama is emboldening our enemies and causing our friends to consider building their own nuclear weapons. In fact, they believe that all efforts at reducing the nuclear threat and the missiles, planes and submarines to deliver them weaken the “nuclear umbrella” that reassures our allies of our readiness to provide a nuclear deterrent for their safety. Among others signatories of an open letter to President Obama, they urge that we “modernize all three legs of the Triad; ensure the safety and deterrent effectiveness of the weapons with which they are equipped; and restore the critical industrial base that supports these forces.” The problem with the ideas of these Cold War Warriors is that they are attempting to apply the strategies of the past to the present without facing the profound changes that have taken place in the world. Here are just four changes or developments in the last 60 years or so that Feith and friends should consider, some of which are well noted by the other experienced insiders who advocate progress toward zero nuclear weapons (e.g. Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, Sam Nunn, William J. Perry): 1. As China, Russia and many others have developed their own economies, our relative position in the world is declining. Our effort to maintain the world’s most expensive military in a time of national debt and a stagnant economy is exhausting our treasury and causing the neglect of urgently needed investments at home, a policy that threatens the future of the United States. 2. This is not 1950. The nations for which we provide a nuclear umbrella are now quite capable of developing their own regional defenses. Even with the best international cooperation, signing a nuclear weapons convention and achieving a nuke-free world will take decades to complete. This gives the “umbrella nations” adequate time to strengthen their conventional arms and build regional defense arrangements. 3. Climate change threatens the whole world with droughts, floods, fires, violent storms and rising seas.

We now know that even a relatively modest nuclear exchange would create a cloud of debris that would circle the Earth and distribute radioactive fallout around the world. The nations of the world are becoming aware of this threat and protesting the terrible risk to all life created by the nine nuclear weapons nations. The world is not made more secure by maintaining any level of nuclear weapons. The U.S., with the world’s greatest conventional forces, is in the best position to lead the way toward nuclear abolition. By outlawing and reducing these weapons, we tell the world that we are concerned and working to preserve life on Earth. There is still a long way to go and many challenges to be overcome. As we negotiate the step-bystep process of a Nuclear Weapons Convention and their worldwide abolition, we free our energies and imagination from the sinful incineration of human beings to their preservation in a complex and changing world.

Sheldon Richman Those who favor “universal” background checks on gun buyers make some ridiculous arguments. For example, opponents correctly point out that gun buyers with criminal intent will always find channels that require no background check. Gunrunning is among the oldest professions, and the black market will always be with us. Thus the promise of universal background checks — even if that were a legitimate government activity — is a fraud, because universality can’t possibly be achieved. Supporters, however, challenge this argument by contending that it proves too much: If requiring background checks is futile as a crime-fighting measure, they ask, why should we have laws against murder, rape, battery and robbery? Those laws will never stop everyone from committing a crime, so what’s the point? This argument is flawed. Let’s remember that the background-check requirement is intended, prophylactically, to keep guns out of the hands of those who would do harm to others. In contrast, the prohibition against murder and other forms of aggression is intended, retrospectively, to legitimate the apprehension and prosecution of people who have committed offenses against person and property. Yes, deterrence is also intended, but the main objective is to permit action after the fact. Supporters of background checks may respond that a “universal” requirement would permit the government to go after those who have used guns aggressively. But this argument has no force whatever, simply because if someone commits aggression with a gun, the government already has grounds to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrator. What value is there in being able to charge a suspected mass murderer with illegal possession of a gun, as well? The practical argument for mandated background checks depends solely on its potential for keeping guns out of the hands of those who would use them to commit crimes. (However, it would not have stopped Adam Lanza in Newtown or other mass murderers.) On that ground the argument fails, because people with criminal intent will find ways to buy guns that do not require a check. Proponents of background checks seem to think that a government decree will dry up the black market. But why would it? Sales will go on beyond the gov- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Out of sight, out of government control. Proponents also mock those who predict that so-called universal background checks will lead to gun registration and confiscation. But this is not an outlandish fear. (The ACLU shares it.) Since guns will continue to be bought and sold without background checks, a national registry is the likely next step in the crusade to deter such transfers. The civil-liberties implications are harrowing. Thus the case against mandating “universal” background checks withstands scrutiny. This measure would not keep criminally minded people from acquiring guns, but it would give a false sense of security to the public by promising something they cannot deliver. What will the public, which favors background checks, call for after the next atrocity? A total prohibition on guns and confiscation? While it wouldn’t prevent crime, a background-check law could impede persons without criminal intent from obtaining firearms for self-defense. Many law-abiding people don’t buy a gun until they’ve been threatened — a woman by her estranged husband, for example — and they will be reluctant to buy one outside the law. (Someone with a conviction for a felony drug charge or other victimless crime cannot legally possess a gun. Why such people should be barred from an effective means of self-defense is a mystery that ought to be explained.) This criticism of so-called universal background checks demonstrates the futility of the proposal. A more specifically moral (and libertarian) criticism is that mere possession of a firearm entails no aggression whatever, regardless of a person’s background, and therefore should not be prohibited. Government may not properly interfere with someone because he might commit a crime. (Of course businesses owners have a right to deny entry to people with guns — just as gun owners have a right to patronize other businesses.) But, some will say, isn’t a requirement for background checks worthwhile if it might save one innocent life? And what if the requirement might cost one innocent life? Is one innocent life more valuable than another? Sheldon Richman is vice president and editor at The Future of Freedom Foundation (www.fff.org) in Fairfax, Va.

More money for schools is in. A sales tax on services is out. Those are among dozens of judgment calls contained in an Ohio House rewrite of the two-year state budget introduced Tuesday. The Republican-led chamber’s answer to GOP Gov. John Kasich’s spending blueprint spends about $2 billion less while retaining a 7 percent permanent income-tax reduction statewide and removing tax increases on professional services and drilling. Kasich has proposed a two-year budget plan of about $63.2 billion, beginning July 1. The House’s $1.5 billion income-tax reduction over two years is less than the 20 percent Kasich had originally proposed, and excludes the governor’s proposed small-business tax cut. “We just couldn’t get that done in this time frame and be comfortable with it,” said House Finance Chairman Ron Amstutz, who described a host of Kasich proposals that have been removed from the bill for lack of time to explore them. The House dropped the Kasich’s plans to extend Medicaid coverage to thousands more low-income Ohioans under President Barack Obama’s federal health care overhaul. Roughly 366,000 Ohio residents would be eligible for health coverage under the Medicaid expansion beginning in 2014. The state would see $13 billion from the federal government over the next seven years to cover those newly eligible. Instead, representatives added $100 million over the two-year period to mental health and addiction services. Asked whether the amount was sufficient to provide care to those who needed it, Amstutz said, “We don’t know the answer to that.” The House bill directs other government funds to The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com the needy, Amstutz said, including $150 million more for job services and readiness and $6 million more for job co-ops and internships. A provision added to Tuesday’s bill also would effectively de-fund Planned Parenthood. Abortion rights groups fought the same move last session and vowed to work to defeat it again. The House will hold hearings on the new version this week, and more changes could come before lawmakers vote on the bill. The Senate then would take up the measure. On education, the House bill increases state aid school districts get for each student. Kasich’s education budget proposed spending $15.1 billion on K-12 education over the next two years, boosting funds to districts that are lagging behind in property values and household incomes. The proposal prompted an outcry by superintendents who said it delivered big increases to some wealthy districts and no new dollars to some poor ones. The House plan caps district funding increases to 6 percent a year and adds new money to meet a state mandate that students must know how to read before leaving third grade. Tweaks to Kasich’s formula — including an increase in per-pupil funding from roughly $5,000 to $5,700 — distribute the money more fairly across the state, Amstutz said. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor remains committed to advancing his proposals and is encouraged by the progress so far. As for the removal of Medicaid expansion, Nichols said in an emailed statement, “It’s clear that support isn’t there right now among House Republicans to extend Medicaid coverage, but it’s the right decision for Ohio. Not doing so will hurt our economy, make Obamacare’s impacts worse and hurt vulnerable Ohioans who need care.” House Speaker William Batchelder said lawmakers weren’t willing to go forward with expansion with so much uncertainty from Washington about the law’s regulations. Plus, he said, his caucus was divided on how best to address the extension of Medicaid coverage. Of the 60 House Republicans, Batchelder said 20 indicated their willingness to do something, 20 wanted to know more before their vote could be counted either way and 20 “might shoot themselves before they voted for it.” Batchelder said the House would continue to work with the Senate and the Kasich administration on the issue, with the hope that clearer instructions from Washington may arrive before Ohio’s June 30 budget deadline. Rep. Vernon Sykes, top Democrat on the House budget-writing panel, said Democrats were disappointed that extended Medicaid coverage wasn’t included in the bill. “We’re hopeful that this is not the end of this proposal, that there still would be some further consideration of the Medicaid expansion,” Sykes said. The Medicaid expansion is one of the key components of the federal Affordable Care Act. Of the nearly 30 million people expected to gain insurance coverage under the law, about half would get it from the expansion. Many Republican lawmakers are averse to Democrat Obama’s health overhaul and resistant to expanding government programs. A leader in a conservative movement to take over the state’s Republican Party told state lawmakers a vote on extending Medicaid could hurt the party and their chances in 2014 elections. Republican Rep. Barbara Sears said she didn’t want Medicaid expansion removed from the bill, and thought it could have been structured in a way to meet the state’s needs. But, she told reporters, “It’s tainted because it’s under the Affordable Care Act.” ally and internationally, and explore the perspectives of victims and perpetrators.

WV DJCS Post office retreats on eliminating Saturday mail WASHINGTON (AP) — The financially beleaguered Postal Service backpedaled on its plan to end Saturday mail delivery, conceding Wednesday that its gamble to compel congressional approval had failed. With limited options for saving money, the governing board said the agency should reopen negotiations with unions to lower labor costs and consider raising mail prices. Yet the board also said it’s not possible for the Postal Service to meet its goals for reduced spending without altering the delivery schedule. Delaying “responsible changes,” the board said, only makes it more likely that the Postal Service “may become a burden” to taxpayers. Congressional reaction was mixed, mirroring differences that have stalled a needed postal overhaul for some time. Some lawmakers had urged the agency to forge ahead with its plan, while others had said it lacked the legal authority to do so. The Postal Service said in February that it planned to switch to five-day-a-week deliveries beginning in August for everything except packages as a way to hold down losses. That announcement was risky. The agency was asking Congress to drop from spending legislation the longtime ban on five-day-only delivery. Congress did not do that when it passed a spending measure last month. “By including restrictive language … Congress has prohibited implementation of a new national delivery schedule for mail and package,” according to the board. Disappointed but not wanting to disregard the law, the board directed the Postal Service to delay putting in place the new delivery schedule until Congress passes legislation that gives the agency “the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule.” The board made the decision in a closed meeting Tuesday. “This is good news for rural communities, businesses, seniors, veterans and others who depend on consistent and timely delivery of the mail,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. But GOP Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, bemoaned the decision to back away from a “delivery schedule that polling indicates the American people understand and support.” Postal officials said that to restore the service to long-term financial stability, the agency must have the flexibility to reduce costs and come up with new revenues. “It is not possible for the Postal Service to meet significant cost reduction goals without changing its delivery schedule — any rational analysis of our current finan- cial condition and business options leads to this conclusion,” the board statement said. An independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control. It lost nearly $16 billion last year — $11.1 billion of that due to a 2006 law Congress passed forcing it to pay into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. “Given these extreme circumstances and the worsening financial condition of the Postal Service, the board has directed management to seek a reopening of negotiations with the postal unions and consultations with management associations to lower total workforce costs, and to take administrative actions necessary to reduce costs,” according to the statement. It offered no giving further details. It said the board also asked management to look at further options to raise revenues, including a rate increase. The Postal Service already is executing a major restructuring throughout its retail, delivery and mail processing operations. Since 2006, it has reduced annual costs by approximately $15 billion, cut its workforce by 193,000 or 28 percent, and consolidated more than 200 mail processing locations. The idea to cut Saturday mail but keep six-day package delivery — a plan Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe estimated could save $2 billion — played up the agency’s strong point. Its package service is growing as more people buy things online, while the volume of letters sent has slumped with increased use of email and other internet services. Over the past several years, the Postal Service also has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages. It repeatedly but unsuccessfully appealed to Congress to approve the move and to free it from the advance health payments. The Senate last year passed a bill that would have stopped the Postal Service from eliminating Saturday service for at least two years and required it to try two years of aggressive cost cutting instead. The House didn’t pass a bill. In dire straits, the agency acted on its own on the Saturday issue. Issa said the reversal “significantly undercuts the credibility of postal officials who have told Congress that they were prepared defy political pressure and make difficult but necessary cuts.” Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., a leader on postal issues, said he hoped Congress would pass new legislation to address the agency’s problems. Ohio gov to continue fight for Medicaid expansion COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Wednesday he will continue to fight for extending Medicaid coverage under the federal health care law, a day after his fellow Republicans removed the proposal from the state budget. Kasich told reporters he doesn’t take it personally that GOP leaders in the Ohio House dropped the expansion from the two-year budget proposal for the fiscal term beginning July 1. “I just profoundly disagree,” he said. “I couldn’t state my position any clearer on this.” The GOP-led House unveiled its rewrite of the budget Tuesday, dropping plans to extend the federal-state program for the poor and disabled to cover more residents. Under the new federal law, states can opt out of an expanded Medicaid. If the state chooses an expanded program, roughly 366,000 Ohioans would be eligible for health coverage, beginning in 2014. In addition, the state would see $13 billion from the federal government over the next seven years to cover those newly eligible. Kasich in February proposed going forward with expansion, contending that it was the way for the state to recapture Ohio taxpayers’ federal money to provide medical care for those who were most vulnerable. “I want Ohio tax dollars to come back here to deal with Ohio’s problems,” the governor repeated on Wednesday.

Yet, more than a decade after the deadly controversy came to light, in many ways the extent of the contamination remains unknown. The impact on local cattle, hens, milk, eggs and produce remains largely unmeasured. Bilott’s correspondence to EPA says that DuPont’s monitoring information is full of holes. An extensive paper trail reveals that DuPont promised to fill in data gaps identified by the EPA as early as 2003, then repeatedly failed to deliver the requested information. By means of a voluntary regulatory process, EPA hoped to gain insight into some of C8’s more elusive properties — such as the chemical’s capacity to travel in the environment, as well as the extent to which local game and produce had become contaminated. Yet, many of these questions remain unanswered. Specifically, Bilott says there are problems with DuPont’s inadequate evaluation of air emissions from landfills, failure to take air and other samples more than two miles from the plant, failure to consider air emissions from the LIttle Hocking Service Center, failure to sample surface water other than the Ohio River, failure to sample farm ponds, failure to sample the Ohio River at least 90 miles downstream of the Washington Works plant, failure to sample domestically produced milk and eggs, failure to sample farm produce or homegrown produce, failure to sample locally produced meat and failure to sample fish and game animals. Bilott describes the lack of monitoring of locally raised cattle “a particularly vivid example of DuPont’s continued recalcitrance.” “Thus, after having been on notice of the need to evaluate PFOA exposures in West Virginia cattle impacted from the Washington Works plant for more than ten years, DuPont ultimately refused to collect a single sample from even a single cow anywhere in the entire state of West Virginia,” Bilott said. The one cattle sample submitted by DuPont for analysis was from an Ohio cow located five miles from the plant and was muscle tissue — not the type of blood, liver or kidney sample expressly requested by the US EPA and US Department of Agriculture in order to properly assess beef exposures. Yet, according to a final monitoring report submitted to EPA in November 2012, DuPont considers the data provided to be “sufficient” to fully address the questions raised and to proceed with the risk assessment. In light of the circumstances, Bilott says the EPA should force DuPont to comply with formal enforcement or legal action. In the meanwhile, with the very passage of time, important pieces of the C8 puzzle are being lost to degradation. DuPont reports a significant reduction of C8 emissions from the Washington Works plant, which presumably would translate into reduced concentrations of exposure in the environment, flora and fauna. “DuPont’s empty promises in this regard allowed it to very effectively delay and thwart the collection and analysis of important PFOA monitoring data for more than a decade — long enough that much of the data no longer exists and the ability to detect the true levels of exposure have diminished,” Bilott said. He said the agency should not tolerate such manipulation of the regulatory system. “After stringing US EPA and the interested parties along for more than a decade on empty promises of ‘voluntary’ data productions that would satisfy outstanding PFOA monitoring data needs. it has become clear that DuPont will not provide such data unless and until forced to do so through appropriate legal action,” Bilott said. �The Daily Sentinel THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 2013 Sports mdssports@civitasmedia.com Lady Tornadoes topple Meigs, 10-8 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs softball team had its fivegame winning streak come to an end Tuesday night during a 10-8 setback to visiting Southern in a non-conference matchup in Meigs County. The Lady Tornadoes (4-3) led 3-0 after a half-inning of play, but the host Lady Marauders (6-3) rallied with six straight runs to secure a 6-3 advantage through two complete innings. SHS, however, answered with four runs in the top of the fourth to claim a small 7-6 edge. MHS countered with a run in its half of the fourth to pull even at seven-all, but was never closer the rest of the way. Southern won the fifth frame by a 2-1 count for a 9-8 edge, then added an insurance run in the seventh to wrap up the two-run decision. Autumn Porter was the winning pitcher of record after allowing eight earned runs, 11 hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out four. Brook Andrus took the loss af- ter surrendering three runs (two earned), three hits and two walks over three innings of relief while fanning three. Kyrie Swann and Darien Diddle led SHS with three hits apiece, followed by Maggie Cummins with two safeties. Porter, Ali Deem, Baylee Hupp and Hannah Hill also had a hit each in the triumph. Diddle drove in a game- high five RBIs and Swann scored four times for the guests. Allyson Davis paced Meigs with three hits, followed by Andrus, Tess Phelps and Ariel Ellis with two safeties apiece. Harley Fox and Destinee Blackwell each added a hit in the setback as well. Fox drove in a team-high two RBIs, while Andrus scored three times for the hosts.

Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — It’s simple math, really. The Gallia Academy baseball team added good defense, better offense and stellar pitching together Tuesday night to equal up to a 10-1 victory over visiting Rock Hill in a non-conference matchup at Bob Eastman Field in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (8-0) never trailed in the contest, as the hosts jumped out to a 6-0 advantage through five innings of play. That offensive support was more than enough for starter Jimmy Clagg, who limited the Redmen (5-2) to just one earned run, four hits and four walks over seven frames to pick up the dominat- ing complete-game decision. GAHS outhit Rock Hill by a sizable 13-4 overall margin and committed only one error in the contest, compared to three mistakes by the guests. The Blue Devils left nine runners stranded on base, while RHHS stranded eight on the bags. Gallia Academy led 4-0 after an inning of play, then the hosts tacked on a run apiece in the third and fifth frames to take a 6-0 edge after five complete. Rock Hill finally cracked into the scoring column in the top of the sixth to cut its deficit down to five, but GAHS answered with four runs in its half of the sixth to wrap up the nine-run decision. Clagg fanned six in his winning decision, while Levi Wilds was saddled with the loss after sur- rendering six runs (all earned), nine hits and four walks over five innings of work. Aaron Dalton allowed four runs (all earned), four hits and three walks over an inning of relief. GAHS did not strikeout once in the triumph. Clagg led the hosts with four hits, followed by John Faro with three safeties. Gustin Graham and Gage Childers were next with two hits apiece, while Justin Bailey and Cody Russell each had a safety for the Blue and White. Clagg drove in a game-high three RBIs, while Faro scored four runs in the decision. Dalton, Jonah Cox, Jonathan Joseph and Evan Morris had a hit apiece for the guests. Morris had the team’s lone RBI when he drove in Laden Delawder in the sixth. CENTENARY, Ohio — The Gallia Academy softball team handed visiting Rock Hill its first loss of the 2013 season Tuesday night during a 6-4 victory in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The host Blue Angels (6-3) trailed briefly in the contest, as the Redwomen (7-1) plated a run in the top of the first for an early 1-0 advantage. GAHS countered with a run of its own in the bottom half of the first, then erupted for five runs in the third and fourth frames to secure a commanding 6-1 edge after four complete. Rock Hill — which outhit the Blue Angels by a 10-8 overall margin — tried to make a comeback in its final at-bat, as the guests rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh to cut its deficit down to two runs. RHHS had the tying run at the plate in Kaci Russell with two outs in the inning, but Russell grounded out to the pitcher to wrap up the two-run Gallia Academy triumph. Violet Pelfrey was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four runs, 10 hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out eight.

Lady Knights slip past Wahama, 10-5 Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A late rally pushes Point Pleasant past Wahama. The Lady Knights scored seven runs in their final at bat to earn the 10-5 win over Mason County foe Wahama Tuesday night. PPHS (8-5) fired the opening salvo with a pair of runs in the home half of the second, including a solo homerun by senior Kaci Riffle. The Lady Falcons (6-6) answered with four runs in the top of the third inning, aided by a pair of Point Pleasant errors. PPHS managed to get one run back in the bottom of the third and trimmed the WHS lead to 4-3. After both teams combine for just one base runner through the fourth and fifth frames the Lady Knights rallied in the bottom of the sixth. Seven runs on six hits and two free passes gave PPHS just what it was looking for and the 10-4 lead headed into the seventh. Wahama manufactured one run in the seventh but couldn’t complete the comeback and the Lady Knights won 10-5. Madison Barker earned the win for the Lady Knights after throwing a complete game in which she allowed five runs on six hits. Barker didn’t walk a batter, while she struck out six. Kelsey Billups suffered the loss after giving up nine runs on 11 hits in 6.1 innings of work. Billups struck out two batters, while walking one. Allison Holley threw .2 innings in relief and gave up one run on three hits. Point Pleasant’s offense was paced by Bekah Daarst with three hits, followed by Josie Fisher, Kaitlin Liptrap and Megan Davis with two hits each. Makinley Higginbotham, Karissa Cochran, Kaci Riffle and Sarah Hussell each finished with one hit for the Lady Knights. Liptrap, Fisher and Riffle each scored two runs, while Higginbotham, Cochran, Davis and Hussell each scored once. Riffle had the game’s lone home run, Fisher had a triple, while Liptrap, Davis and Fisher each had a double. Bailey Hicks led the Wahama offense with two hits, followed by Billups, Rachel Roque, Shalyn Greer and Darian Weaver with one hit each. Hicks’ double in the seventh was the lone extra-base hit for WHS. Weaver scored a pair of runs for the Lady Falcons, while Roque, Hicks and Billups each scored once.

A partner could be quite the opposite. You might not be sure what to do. Listen to this person’s woes, but don’t enable him or her. If you are single, you become very possessive when relating to a specific person. Is it you, or is it the other party? Remember, you cannot change anyone. If you are attached, the two of you juggle your finances fairly well. You will reach your mutual goal in the near future. TAURUS is stubborn. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Follow your intuition. A moneymaking idea of yours might have tremendous value. Try it out on several trusted friends who will take turns playing devil’s advocate. You want their feedback, even if it is negative. You can make adjustments later. Tonight: Indulge a little. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A friend who might be artistic or just unreliable might play a significant role in what goes on. Remain confident, and don’t lose sight of your goals. A partner or an associate pushes you hard and could become controlling. Is this jealousy? Tonight: You make the call. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Understand that something is going on behind the scenes. You might fear the worst, but try to remain optimistic. You easily can balance a situation. A partner might be uptight about money. A change in how you handle funds could relax this person. Tonight: Get some R and R. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might be questioning what is happening within your immediate circle. Friends surround you, and they seem to support you. A creative venture or a matter involving a loved one could go south. Know that this, too, will change. Tonight: Where the fun is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others observe you a little too closely for your comfort. You might wonder if you could do something offbeat without being noticed. Let go of a controlling situation. The only way to win is to not play. A family member’s negativity could irritate you. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance — you need to speak to this person. Avoid all assumptions until you do. Someone could seem aloof, but this behavior is not intentional; he or she is preoccupied with something else. Tonight: Wherever there is good music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You discover the power of two. You often push very hard to achieve certain results. If you teamed up with someone, the process would be easier and just as successful, if not more successful. Use care with spending, and count your change. Tonight: Talk and visit with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to try something different. You also might not be sure which way to go with a loved one. Please note your detachment. People certainly will not react the same way they would if you were your usual smiling self. Tonight: Go with a friend’s suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Stay level-headed and focused. You could be amazed at what you can accomplish while others dillydally around. Be more expressive and open with a co-worker or close friend. You will see a different side emerge in this person as a result. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your creativity emerges, and it attracts many people. Your interest in a situation allows greater give-and-take. If a friend cops an attitude, ignore his or her unpleasant mood. Share a great idea with a friend, get some feedback and then go for it. Tonight: Play the night away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH If you could work from home, would you? You just might get an opportunity to try this out. If you are OK having no one but yourself around, it just might work. A boss or an older friend seems off-kilter. Reach out to this person to find out what’s going on. Tonight: Order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Make and return calls in the morning. A message initially could disappoint you, but in the long run, it will give you the space to do what you want. A family member lets you know how much he or she adores you. Enjoy the moment. Tonight: Out and about at a favorite haunt.
