The brick building located next to the Meigs County Courthouse on Second Street in Pomeroy was constructed in the late 1800s following destruction by fire in 1894 according to previous reports. The facility was home to the jail until it was closed in October 2002 by then-Sheriff Ralph Trussell. The jail was reopened in May 2006 following 16-months of renovations completed after then-Sheriff Robert Beegle took office. When the facility re-opened in 2006, it was able to serve as a minimum-risk facility which could hold up to 10 prisoners overnight. The facility does not house female prisoners.

The AAA7 provides services in the following Ohio counties: Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton.

Initial visits to an individual’s home to discuss long-term care options and resources are always scheduled by a community individual through a call directly to the AAA7. The AAA7 provides the following advice: • Do not allow anyone in your home if the individual cannot provide proper identification such as an employee name badge. If the individual claims they are from the Area Agency on Aging, but it does not appear they are or they cannot provide the proper identification, please feel comfortable in calling our Agency to confirm — the Agency can be reached Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. by calling 1-800-582-7277. • AAA7 staff that visit homes for assessments gather personal information for referral purposes and will provide the consumer with a release of information form for signature and an AAA7 Statement of Privacy Practices. • As mentioned previously, AAA7 staff will not show up See IMPOSTERS ‌| A3 �Sunday, May 5, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A2 PVH en’s Health enhances our ability to deliver care and ultimately improve health outcomes and reduce disparities for many women who find it a challenge to come to multiple appointments,” stated Tom Schauer, chief executive officer.

It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR practice guidelines and technical standards, following a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and the medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the physicians and staff, image quality, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality of care provided to their patients. Suresh K.

We are among a limited number of hospitals in the tri-state area holding the highest level of accreditation in image quality and patient safety.” “The decision to build the center was, in large part, due to our recognizing that women in the area need a specialized center that can provide timely services,” stated Connie Davis, senior director of ancillary services. “Women are responsible for balancing the needs of their home and growing families, and some women about six weeks beginning in mid-March following the suicide of an inmate. During that time — as prisoners were housed in the Middleport Jail and Washington County Jail — work was completed to fix the plumbing in the jail and other items which needed to be corrected. Wood said that through limited funds and donations, the jail now has a new camera system, fresh paint, a working shower, toilet and sink, and changes in the cells. The cells previously had two bunks in each of the five cells to house 10 inmates. Now, the upper bunks have been removed, leaving the lower bunks. The jail can hold five prisoners overnight in the facility. Unlike before the renovations, there is a restroom facility located in one corner of the jail. Before there had been toilets in each cell, with many plumbing issues related to it. The remainder of the building, which includes offices for the sheriff, deputies and office personnel, has also received a face lift in the past few months. Painting was completed in the offices and is now being done on some of the outside areas. The floors in the office were also replaced, and electrical repairs have been completed.

Wood also noted that, at some point, the sheriff’s office must look at the infrastructure of the building and its stability for the future. He added that the cost of housing prisoners outside of the county may outweigh the cost of a new jail facility for the county in the future. It is estimated that the county spends up $20,000 to $30,000 each month to house prisoners in other facilities including the Middleport Jail and Washington County Jail. Experience Counts ...

Member SIPC. Bank talks financial education to students POMEROY — Over 500 tri-county elementary students heard recently from Farmers Bank employees about the importance of saving as part of the ABA Education Foundation’s Teach Children to Save program, a national campaign of volunteer bankers who help young people develop lifelong savings habits. “Some children know more about Julius Caesar and volcanoes than they do about budgeting and balancing a checkbook,” explains Paul Reed, President and CEO of Farmers Bank. “So while schools prepare students for real world success, Farmers Bank focuses on helping young kids develop skills for financial success.” The Teach Children to Save program uses lessons that bring together reallife lessons and classroom learning, incorporating hands-on scenarios and children’s experiences to help them understand the basic principles of using money wisely. Lessons explore saving, budgeting, prioritizing and more. Farmers Bank encourages parents to extend financial lessons to the home. Here are some tips for parents to raise money-smart kids: • Set the example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a careful spender and an active saver. Children tend to imitate their parents’ personal finance habits. • Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money. Encourage them to ask you questions, and be prepared to answer them – even the tough ones. • Explain the difference between needs and wants, the value of saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so. • Open a savings account at your local bank for your children and take them with you to make deposits so they can learn how to be hands-on in their money management. • As your kids get older, give them responsibility over how they spend their money. The ABA Education Foundation, a nonprofit subsidiary of the American Bankers Association, provides financial education programs and resources that help bankers make their communities better. The foundation’s signature programs, Teach Children to Save (April) and Get Smart About Credit (October) allow bankers to connect with students for financial education.

Offender From Page A1 Additionally, in a 2005 Cuyahoga County case, Lendway pleaded guilty in 2007 to failing to verify his current address as required through the sex offender registry and he was subsequently placed on two years of community control. In Gallia County, Lendway was indicted in 2009 for possessing one Endocet tablet on September 28, 2008, and was subsequently ordered in February 2010 to serve 11 months in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for the offense. Judicial release was later granted in this case as, through plea negotiations, the prosecution agreed to Lendway’s release after he had served a total of 90 days in a state prison. Lendway was subsequently placed on community control for a two-year period. On June 29, 2012, Lendway’s probation was extended an additional three years as he had, according to court documents, failed to make his office visits, pay his court costs and supervisory fee. Earlier this year, a journal entry filed in the defendant’s case in January issues a warrant for Lendway’s arrest for alleged violations of community control as the defendant has absconded supervision.

Our town has several. One in particular I would categorize more like a celebrity than just a character. Rodney Bonecutter, aka Speedy, is the sort of fellow that you might fear when you first see him. However, looks can be deceiving, you know. Yes, he’s different. Regardless of weather conditions, he wears a camouflage army jacket and hat. When he walks down the street he looks like a man on a mission as he quickly darts down the sidewalk (hence the nickname Speedy) and he is careful not to step on cracks. When he reaches his destination, which is usually the corner of Sixth and Viand Streets, he raises his imaginary “Elephant Gun” and begins to shoot cars which he claims are wild animals. When you speak to Rodney you may notice that he looks at the ground or maybe he doesn’t speak back to you, but you shouldn’t take it personally. I have known him for 17 years and he just started speaking directly to me eight years ago. Rodney is a shy fellow and is very cautious of others he doesn’t know. Once he gets to know you, you will be surprised to find that underneath that Great White Hunter Exterior he is a sweet, kind soul with a great sense of humor. He has a childlike voice and an enthusiasm for life much like a young kid. He loves camo, candy, Christmas presents and elephant hunting.

Page A4 Sunday, May 5, 2013 Letters to the Editor: Reader shakes head at power of NRA Dear Editor, Like The National Rifle Association, many parts of the entertainment industry and the legislative body are driven by money and power. It does not seem to matter in these modern times the damage all are causing on our civilization. The long arms of the NRA are more powerful than the Presidency, 90 percent of the American people and those leaders in Washington that want sensible gun control. It seems the government is no longer for the people, it is for the NRA. The “gun control bill” failed in the Senate on April 17, 2013. This was a slap in the face to all the parents that have lost children in gun violence and those that survived senseless shootings. The shame in the failure to put forward a reasonable “gun control bill” in the Senate exist in the votes made by those senators that are more concern about the NRA than the American people. Alfred Waddell West Dennis, MA Lessons learned from Willow Island? Dear Editor, Exactly 35 years ago this week, West Virginia suffered the largest construction accident in American history when 51 lives were lost in a scaffolding collapse at the Willow Island power plant north of Parkersburg. The loss of these fathers, sons and brothers is compounded by the fact it was a totally preventable tragedy caused by unsafe working conditions. These men should still be celebrating anniversaries with their wives and birthdays with their families. Instead their families gather to mourn 35 years passing without them. “Workers’ Memorial Day” in West Virginia took place on April 28. This year, the ceremony was held in the shadows of the Willow Island memorial to commemorate the tragedy. A bell tolled 51 times for the Willow Island workers, then it rung out 22 more times to remember the West Virginians who lost their lives on the job last year. Sadly, “Workers’ Memorial Day” is an annual event due to all the work-related deaths that occur every single year in our state. In the past five years, 254 workplace fatalities have occurred in West Virginia, and the majority of those deaths were preventable. While that astounding figure is totally unacceptable, even one death is too many. It’s time West Virginia starts taking effective measures to prevent the tragic and needless loss of workers’ lives. Real action, in the form of workplace safety legislation, needs to be taken before another Workers’ Memorial Day comes to pass. Just this past month, a handful of legislators were able to vote down a simple bill intended to require a 10-hour safety training program for construction workers on certain public works projects. Del. Scott Cadle (R-Mason) was one of those politicians. Politicians need to be held accountable for their actions to block meaningful safety measures. You can do your part to make safety a priority by making sure you only vote for elected officials who act rather than talk. We don’t want to listen to the mournful bells tolling for yet more workers’ lives needlessly lost.

When visiting high schools I talk to students about the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18, as well as the circumstances prompting its ratification in 1971. The Vietnam War was underway and although 18-year-olds could not vote, they were drafted to serve in the military. The 26th Amendment enfranchised 11.4 million 18- to 20-year-olds who wanted to have a say in our democracy and on issues that were impacting their lives. Forty years later, the right to vote at 18 is a given, but how it became a right is often forgotten. Grads Vote tries to change that. If young adults want their voices heard, voting is the way we express ourselves in a democracy. While they may not have to worry about being drafted into war today, issues like the national debt, and how America confronts it will impact their lives and the lives of their families. As I have visited with thousands of high school students around Ohio, I have great confidence they will rise to the occasion as our future leaders; but we can help them prepare to meet this challenge. I encourage all parents, friends and family of graduating seniors this year to take the time to explain the importance of exercising their right to vote and making it a priority for life.

The Gallia Academy baseball team defeated visiting Point Pleasant 6-1 Friday night, marking the first time in GAHS history baseball teams have won 20 games in back to back seasons. Point Pleasant (18-11) junior Alex Somerville singled and later scored to put the Big Blacks up 1-0. The Blue Devils answered in the home half of the first when Ty Warnimont scored on the Gustin Graham RBI. GAHS gained the lead in the second frame when Gage Childers singled home Bobby Dunlap. The Blue Devils broke the game open in the third inning when John Faro, Justin Bailey and Brady Curry each scored. Graham scored an insurance run in the sixth inning on the Bailey single and GAHS led 6-1. Point Pleasant couldn’t answer and fell to Gallia Academy for the second time this season. Graham earned the victory for the Blue and White after giving up just one unearned run on four hits. Graham walked four and struck out seven in six innings of work. Kole Cater fin- ished the game for GAHS and he allowed one hit. Somerville suffered the setback for PPHS after surrendering five runs, four earned, on six hits and five walks.

The Eastern baseball team pounded out 13 hits over six innings and also received a pitching gem from starter Brandon Coleman Friday night during a 10-0 mercy-rule victory over visiting Miller in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Meigs County. The Eagles (13-3, 9-3 TVC Hocking) picked up their third straight victory and have also won eight of their last nine decisions overall. The hosts also claimed a season sweep of the Falcons (6-12, 4-10) after posting a 5-2 win in Corning back on April 15. EHS led 3-0 after an inning of play, then doubled that advantage by scoring a run in the second and two more in the third for a 6-0 cushion through three complete.

The Southern baseball team secured its first-ever repeat as TriValley Conference Hocking Division outright champions Friday night following a 5-4 victory over visiting Trimble at Star Mill Park in Meigs County. The Tornadoes (19-4, 14-0 TVC Hocking) captured the program’s 10th conference title in school history and the fifth TVC Hocking crown since joining the league back in the fall of 1993. The hosts also extended their current league winning streak to 34 consecutive decisions while earning their first repeat title since the 1982-83 campaigns — when SHS was a member of the SVAC. Southern, however, had to do a bit of work to make that piece of history a reality, as the Tomcats (11-6, 6-6) outhit the hosts by a small 10-9 overall margin and led 1-0 after a half-inning of play. The Tornadoes countered with three runs in their half of the first and never looked back, as the Purple and Gold added a run apiece in the third and fourth frames to claim a 5-1 advantage through four complete. THS mustered three runs in the top of the fifth to close the deficit down to a single run at 5-4, but the guests never came closer the rest of the way — despite some quality opportunities. Trimble had a potential tying run thrown out at the plate for the third out in the sixth, then left runners stranded at first and second in the seventh. Southern claimed a season sweep of the Tomcats with the hard-fought decision, despite committing two of the three errors in the contest. SHS posted a 7-2 win in Glouster during the first matchup back on April 15. Adam Pape was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four runs, eight hits and seven walks over six innings while striking out nine. Colten Walters worked an inning of relief and allowed two hits while picking up the successful save opportunity. Jacob Kish suffered the setback after surrendering five runs, nine hits and four walks over six frames while fanning three. Chandler Drummer and Brandon Moodispaugh led SHS with two hits apiece, followed by Walters, Hunter Johnson, Trenton Deem, Danny Ramthun and Tom Ramthun with a safety each. Danny Damthun drove in a team-high two RBIs, while Walters, Pape and Moodispaugh also added an RBI each. Johnson scored twice for the victors, and Walters, Drummer and Danny Ramthun each added a run as well. Austin Downs, Andrew Losey and Konner Standley paced THS with two hits each, followed by Kish, Sikorski, Caullen Langford and John Vaido with a safety apiece. Standley drove in a teambest two RBIs in the setback. Southern also won TVC Hocking titles in 1994, 1997 and 2007. It is the third outright league championship for SHS coach Ryan Lemley in his 11 seasons with the program. River Valley Lady Raiders sweep Southern Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CHESHIRE, Ohio — A pair of wins and history in the process. The River Valley softball team earned an 11-6 victory over Southern in a game suspended from April 16th and an 8-7 triumph over the Lady Tornadoes, giving the Lady Raiders a program record 13 wins on the season.

River Valley rallied for a quartet of runs in the fourth inning to expand its lead to 9-4. SHS got one run back in the home half the inning and trimmed another away in the fifth.

The Wahama baseball team fell to 0-5 against Meigs County opposition this season following a 4-3 setback to host Eastern in nine innings Thursday night during a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Meigs County. The White Falcons (1311, 10-4 TVC Hocking) dropped their second consecutive extra-inning decision in Meigs County this year, as the guests suffered an eight-inning 4-3 loss at Southern back on April 1. That contest — like the one Thursday night with the Eagles — also ended in defeat after a bases-loaded walk allowed the game-winning run to come homeward. Eastern (12-3, 8-3) outhit the guests by a 13-6 overall margin and each squad committed one error in the contest. Each starter also went the distance in the nine-inning affair. EHS took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third after Ethan Nottingham led off the frame with a single, then Joey Scowden singled Nottingham home for a 1-0 advantage. Derick Powell tripled home Scowden one batter later to give the hosts a 2-0 cushion. Wahama countered with three runs in the top of the fourth, giving the guests their only lead of the night. Wesley Harrison and Garrett Miller each provided singles, then Austin Cole was hit by a pitch to load the bases with two outs. Harrison scored on a passed ball to make it a 2-1 game, Jared Nutter tripled to plate both Miller and Cole for a 3-2 edge. Eastern answered with a run in its half of the fourth after Max Carnahan singled home Christian Speelman, tying the game at three-all through four complete. The score remained that way until the bottom of the ninth, as Eastern starting pitcher Tim Elam came to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the inning. With a 3-1 count, Elam watched ball-four pass — which allowed Powell to score the game-clinching run. Eastern, with the decision, claimed a season sweep of the White Falcons after posting a 9-4 decision at WHS back on April 10. Wahama was also swept by Southern this year and dropped a 5-4 decision to visiting Meigs in a non-conference matchup back on April 16. Elam was the winning pitcher of record after allowing three runs, six hits and two walks over nine innings while striking out eight. Hunter Bradley took the toughluck loss after surrendering four runs, 13 hits and six walks over 8.2 frames while fanning four. Nottingham led the Eagles with three hits, followed by Scowden and Powell with two safeties apiece. Carnahan, Zack Scowden, Brandon Coleman and Kyle Young also added a hit each to the winning cause.

Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B6 Lady Eagles sweep Lady Falcons, 12-0 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern softball team had little trouble with visiting Miller Friday night during a 12-0 mercy-rule victory in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at Don Jackson Field. The Lady Eagles (11-9, 10-2 TVC Hocking) out hit the winless Lady Falcons (0-16, 0-14) by a sizable 13-2 overall margin and played an error-free contest, while MHS committed four errors in the setback. EHS also claimed a season sweep of Miller after earning a 25-1 victory in Corning back on April 15. Eastern led 3-0 after an inning of play and were ahead 7-0 through two complete, then the hosts tacked on five runs in the bottom of the third to take a 12-0 cushion after three full frames. That offensive support was more than enough for starter Grace Edwards, who fanned a dozen and walked zero over five innings en route to the winning decision. Only Ali Bray figured Edwards out, producing both Miller hits — a double in the first and a single in the fourth. MHS had just two baserunners in the setback. Kiki Osborne and Erin Swatzel led the hosts with three hits apiece, followed by Amber Moodispaugh and Hannah Hawley with two hits each. Jourdan Griffin, Morgan Barringer and Paige Cline also had a hit each for the victors. Moodispaugh had a team-best five RBIs, followed by Osborne with four RBIs. Griffin and Tori Goble also drove in a run apiece for the victors. Cline scored three runs for the Lady Eagles, followed by Goble, Osborne, Swatzel and Hawley with two runs scored each. Edwards also crossed home plate once in the triumph. West suffered the loss for the Lady Falcons after surrendering 12 runs, 13 hits and six walks over four frames while striking out two.

Coleman was the winning pitcher of record after allowing three hits and zero walks over six frames while striking out four. Newman BAXTER’S suffered the loss for Miller, which had only three baserunners in the setback — none of which advanced past second base. MHS also committed one of the three errors in the contest. Coleman led the hosts with three hits and four RBIs, followed by Nottingham, Zack Scowden, Max Carnahan and Tyler Morris with two safeties apiece. Derick Powell and Christian Speelman also added a hit each to the winning cause. Kyle Young had two RBIs for the victors, while Carnahan, Powell, Speelman and Joey Scowden added an RBI apiece.

Lindsay Lohan enters rehab at Betty Ford Center LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan has checked into a rehab and will not face a probation violation for leaving another treatment facility after a few minutes, a prosecutor said Friday. Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White said he has received confirmation that Lohan has checked in to a rehab facility and he is satisfied with her location. He declined to say where Lohan is receiving treatment, but a source close to the actress who was not authorized to speak publicly said she has checked in to the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The “Liz & Dick” star is required to spend 90 days in rehab as part of a plea deal in a misdemeanor case filed after a June car accident. Lohan has also re-hired longtime attorney Shawn Holley to handle her case. White said he was in contact with Holley on Thursday evening after hours of uncertainty about the actress’ whereabouts. Attorney Mark Jay Heller told a judge during a hearing Thursday that Lohan had checked in to a different rehab facility, but the starlet left it after a few minutes. White was given several days to investigate that facility, which a state official said was not licensed to perform residential drug or alcohol rehab treatment. He said Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney will be updated on Lohan’s location, but that it may not require a formal hearing. Lohan’s sentence called for her to spend three months at a lockdown rehab facility and also receive 18 months of psychotherapy to avoid a return to jail. She pleaded no contest in March to lying to police and reckless driving. Lohan has spent time at Betty Ford before. She served another mandatory rehab sentence at the treatment center, although her stay there was not without drama. Lohan, 26, got into an altercation with a rehab worker and within weeks of her release was charged with taking a necklace from a Los Angeles jewelry store without permission. Russ Patrick, a spokesman for Betty Ford, said he could not confirm Lohan had returned to the facility, which is a licensed treatment hospital founded in 1982 and has treated numerous celebrities. Lohan remains on probation in the theft case. Holley has represented Lohan throughout numerous court proceedings, but the actress opted to have Heller, a lawyer from New York unversed in California law, represent her in recent months.

Submitted by Tracy Winters, Gallia County 4-H Educator Music City mourns country legend George Jones NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — For a guy who sang so many sad songs, George Jones left behind a lot of laughs. There was more humor than sadness at Jones’ funeral Thursday at the Grand Ole Opry House as thousands gathered in Nashville — some arriving hours before sunrise — to pay their respects to the man whose voice has defined country music for more than half a century. Friend after friend related stories of Jones’ kindness, his love for his widow, Nancy, who’s credited with helping him survive his personal demons later in life, and the funny little moments that will stick with them always. Barbara Mandrell remembered the kindnesses he gave a scared 13-yearold girl just getting her start in the business. Former first lady Laura Bush remembered dumping quarter after quarter into the jukebox to hear “The Race Is On.” Wynonna Judd remembered his perfect hair and his friendship. And Vince Gill remembered the man who gave him the nickname “Sweet Pea,” a moniker he wasn’t sure he liked at first but now treasures. “The great thing is every time someone calls me Sweet Pea, I’ll get to think about him,” Gill said before earning a standing ovation for his rendition of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” with Patty Loveless. The nearly 3-hour memorial was attended by several major country stars and political figures. Nancy Jones sat flanked by Bush and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam spoke, as did former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. CBS host Bob Schieffer recalled a 2009 interview with Jones where the singer’s true personality seemed to show through. “I came away feeling his whole life was a surprise to him and he never quite believed any of it,” Schieffer said. Each of the stars who performed had a personal connection to Jones. Randy Travis, who was anointed a traditional country voice by Jones, sang “Amazing Grace,” a song Jones had once put his own personal stamp upon. “When I heard him do this song, it literally gave me chills,” Travis said. Paisley remembered Jones allowing him to house his first horse on the Jones family farm and the visits the two would have, then sang “Me & Jesus.” Kid Rock asked Nancy Jones to imagine Jones was actually singing as he performed “Best of Me,” before checking himself to the delight of the crowd. “I know that’s a huge (leap of) imagination,” Kid Rock said with an embarrassed smile. “Unshaven, long-haired confused country hip-hop rock ‘n’ roller trying to sing George Jones.” But it may have been Charlie Daniels who summed up Jones best in a long, beautifully rendered tribute. He noted Jones was probably the most imitated country singer of all time. “George Jones’ voice was a rowdy Saturday night uproar at a back-street beer joint, the heartbroken wail of the one who wakes up to find the other side of the bed empty, the far-off lonesome whistle of the midnight train, the look in the eyes of a young bride as that ring is placed on her finger, the memories of a half-asleep old man dreaming about the good old days,” Daniels said. “Lost love, lost innocence, good and bad memories, and experiences that are just too much for a human being to deal with. He sang for us all, the non-stop partiers, the guys who are alone and the girl done wrong, the puppy lovers, the extrovert, the introvert and the guy at the end of the bar who never seems to go home … George had a song for everybody.” The funeral was broadcast live on cable music television channels CMT and GAC and — in a nod to simpler times when Jones was at his biggest — on all local television networks. The Beaumont, Texas, native was in the midst of a farewell tour that was to have wrapped up with an all-star salute in November in Nashville when he died. He postponed two performances two weeks ago and entered the hospital with a fever and irregular blood pressure. He’d been ill off and on over the previous year. Jones’ pure, matchless baritone defined the sound of country music for a half century, and his death brought universal reaction from the music community and fans. Known for hits like “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes,” ”White Lightning” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” which Alan Jackson used to close the memorial, Jones had No. 1s in four decades from the 1950s to the 1980s and “Possum” remained a popular figure in Music City until his death. “Brother George taught us how to sing with a broken heart,” Gill said. Paisley said even though Jones has passed on, his legacy is still there, ready to inspire. He urged young viewers who might be tuning in to check out Jones’ music. “You must be thinking, ‘Boy, they’re making a ruckus,’” Paisley said. “I would encourage you if you don’t know him, go find him now. Go buy his records and see what all this ruckus is about because it’s worth it.” �Sunday, May 5, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Sunday, May 5, 2013 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Comics BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, May 6, 2013: This year you open up to new concepts.

PepsiCo pulls Mountain Dew ad after criticism NEW YORK (AP) — PepsiCo is once again learning the risks of celebrity partnerships after an ad for Mountain Dew was criticized for portraying racial stereotypes and making light of violence toward women. The soda and snack food company said it immediately pulled the 60-second spot after learning that people found it offensive. The ad was part of a series developed by AfricanAmerican rapper Tyler, The Creator, and depicted a battered white woman on crutches being urged to identify a suspect out of a lineup of black men. A goat character known as Felicia is included in the lineup and makes threatening comments to the woman, such as “Ya better not snitch on a playa” and “Keep ya mouth shut.” The woman eventually screams “I can’t do this, no no no!” and runs away. The word “do” is in apparent reference to the soft drink’s “Dew It” slogan. Mountain Dew, known for its neon color and high caffeine content, is generally marketed to younger men and sometimes attempts to have edgier ads. But the controversy over its latest spot illustrates the fine line that companies must walk when trying to be hip. In fact, Mountain Dew also was criticized recently because of its endorsement deal with Lil Wayne, whose rap lyrics compared a rough sex act to the tortuous death of Emmett Till, a black teen who was murdered in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman. Last month, Reebok also ended its relationship with Rick Ross after he rapped about giving a woman a drug to have his way with her. Laura Ries, president of Ries & Ries, a marketing firm based in Atlanta, said companies that want the “street cred” of a celebrity may end up losing control of the message they want to convey. If PepsiCo had created an ad for Mountain Dew, for example, she said it might not have been considered edgy or cool. But by handing over control to a celebrity, she said the company ran the risk of having an ad that wasn’t appropriate. PepsiCo Inc., based in Purchase, N.Y., said it understood how the ad could be offensive. “We apologize for this video and take full responsibility,” the company said in an updated statement late Wednesday afternoon. “We have removed it from all Mountain Dew channels and Tyler is removing it from his channels as well.” Jen Ryan, a spokeswoman for PepsiCo, said the company learned from its consumer relations team on Tuesday that people found the ad offensive. She declined to explain the approval process for the ad but said it was never meant to run on TV. Tyler, the Creator’s raps have been criticized for being misogynistic and homophobic at times but he has also expressed support for the singer Frank Ocean, who revealed he was bisexual. Management of Odd Future, the hip-hop collective led by Tyler, the Creator, issued a statement apologizing to anyone offended but said the ad was taken out of context. It noted the men in ad’s lineup are Tyler’s friends and Odd Future members. The artist “absolutely never intended to spark a controversy about race,” the statement said. “It was simply an, again, admittedly absurd story that was never meant to be taken seriously.” Six things to ask before booking a summer vacation NEW YORK (AP) — It’s May. Memorial Day and the end of the school year are in sight. Suddenly, you’re thinking about a summer vacation. A little advance planning — and some insider tips — can save you a lot of money. Whether you’re booking airfare, a car rental or a hotel room, there are questions you should ask first. AIR TRAVEL Q: When is the best time to buy airfare? A: There is no overarching rule, but generally the sweet spot for buying is four to six weeks before you travel. Prices are highest eight to 10 weeks and two to three weeks in advance. However, start your search earlier, if possible. Learn what fares tend to be on a route so you can jump on a deal when one appears. Timing it right can save a family hundreds of dollars. And remember, with most fares you now have 24 hours to cancel for any reason. Use that to your advantage. Q: Is it worth paying for extras such as more legroom, access to shorter security lines and early boarding? A: There are a number of variables to consider here, including the length of your flight — and your legs. The airline and time of day can also matter. You can buy your way to the front of a security line. United, for examples, charges $9 for the privilege. But first consider the time you’re flying. At lunchtime on a Tuesday, the airport is probably empty anyway. However, if you’re leaving Orlando or Las Vegas on a Sunday, the fee could be money well spent. Boarding early improves your chances of finding overhead space. But that’s about it. If you don’t have a carry-on bag, then save the money — typically $10 each way. Only on Southwest — which doesn’t assign seats — is there an additional advantage: being first to pick where to sit. Then there’s legroom. JetBlue charges extra for seats in the front of the plane with more legroom. But its standard seats already have three inches more legroom than a similar seat on United. “Preferred seats” on American Airlines start at $4 and climb to $99, depending on the length of a flight. But there isn’t extra space — you’re just nearer the front. Use sites like SeatGuru.com and SeatExpert.com to review specific seats. RENTAL CARS Q: Do I need rental car insurance? A: The rental firms sell collision damage waiver (CDW) insurance for up to $25 extra a day. It offers protection from theft, vandalism or other damage. It’s a major source of revenue. Decide whether you need this insurance long before you get to the counter.

Riverbend Arts Council hosts gardening program Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@mydailysentinel.com MIDDLEPORT — The joy of gardening along with the trials and tribulations of getting it right was the theme of a program presented by John Marra, WSAZ agriculture specialist, in a question and answer forum hosted by the Riverbend Art Council. Included in the discussion was everything from pruning to pesticides, from deer deterrents to determining planting locations to coordinating colors to the surroundings. He advised that anything that blooms before June needs to be pruned right after the last bloom falls, and said that “if you don’t control the growth of the shrub by pruning it, it will soon control you.” He specifically mentioned lilacs, wisteria, rhododendron and azaleas as plants that thrive after being pruned. As for fertilizer use, Marra stressed lime as the best to control acidity in the soil and recommended the use of pellets as the best bet because it reacts on soil twice as fast as hydrated lime which can be toxic. For pesticides, he advised the importance of identifying the pest before applying a pesticide and don’t use one unless you really have to. “Tomatoes need lime for good growth,” he said noting that now is the time to set tomato plant out in the garden. Varieties were discussed and Marra said his favorite if any one which has “mountain” in the name. Beefsteak was also mentioned. As for “suckering” always use a sharp knife was his recommendation. Mulch with long and large pieces is best to use because it keeps the cats in the neighborhood from thinking it’s a little box, while holding the moisture in the soil. As for insecticide, the end of July is the best time and to kill honeysuckle and poison Ivy, he recommended Round-Up. “Most people go to a nursery to buy plants without knowing where they’re going to plant something and that’s a bad idea,” he said. He recommended that before jumping in and buying a lot of things and then going home and wondering where you’re going to plant what, that you determine colors which fit into the environment and where you are going to plant what being sure it fits into the landscaping. To deter deer damage to plants, he suggested stretching a fishing line around the plot. In appreciation Mary Wise, president of the Riverbend Art Council, presented a floral painting by Rochelle McClure to the speaker. Several area businesses displayed flowers and gardening materials, a variety of door prizes relating to gardening were awarded., and refreshments were served to the hundred or so residents attending the free community program. Photos by Charlene Hoeflich WSAZ agriculture specialist John Marra talks on achieving gardening success. Refreshments were served by Art Council members at the allfree gardening event. Report shows persistence of TV violence NEW YORK (AP) — Violence, gore and gunplay were staples on prime-time television even in the most sensitive period directly following the Newtown school shooting. A study of 392 prime-time scripted programs on broadcast networks shown during the month following Vice President Joe Biden’s January meeting with entertainment industry executives on the topic revealed that 193 had some incident of violence, according to the Parents Television Council. Some are cartoonish — quite literally, with Homer strangling Bart for mouthing off on “The Simpsons” — but there is plenty of gunplay, stabbings and beat-downs. Here’s a sample of the incidents captured by the PTC between Jan. 11 and Feb. 11: —A character on ABC’s “Body of Proof” says he dreams of ripping a woman’s brain out while she’s still alive, but he’s shot as he’s about to stick a hook up her nose. Then he’s pushed off a balcony and killed. —A woman on Fox’s “The Following” jams an ice pick into her eye. —A prison riot episode of CBS’ “Hawaii Five-O” includes one man trying to kill someone in a laundry room press, a man snapping someone’s neck with his legs and a man injected with something that causes a violent convulsion. —A man threatens hospital workers on NBC’s “Chicago Fire” with a gun before he’s disabled with a Taser. —A gun fight on ABC’s “Last Resort” is ignited by one man stabbing another in the abdomen with a screwdriver. —A man on CBS’ “Criminal Minds” is shot dead by the FBI as he tries to cut the eyelids off a gallery owner’s face. —Two characters on Fox’s “Bones” wake to find a corpse hanging from the canopy above their bed, dripping blood onto them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
