Two arrested on meth charges at county line
Staff Report

TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

MIDDLEPORT — Two women were arrested following the
discovery of a four-pot methamphetamine lab on Thursday
evening on Story’s Run near the
Meigs/Gallia County line.
Meigs County Sheriff Keith
O. Wood reports deputies located a four pot methamphetamine at 38028 Story’s Run
Road in Middleport, arresting
the home owner and a second

women at the residence.
Deputies at the scene arrested the home owner, Norma J.

Both subjects are being
charged with illegally manufacturing methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree. Other
charges are pending in the case
according to the Sheriff.
Ratliff has a prior conviction
from Meigs County Common
Pleas Court from charges stemming from a 2007 methamphet-

amine lab at the same residence.
Hamilton also had an active
warrant from Gallia County in a
case involving illegally manufacturing methamphetamine. She
was arrested last August along
with two other individuals at a
residence on Story’s Run in Gallia County. She was indicted on
one count of illegal manufacture
of drugs, a felony of the first
degree, and was scheduled to
stand trial last month, but did
not appear for a scheduled status
conference hearing on June 3 ac-

cording to court records. At that
time, a warrant was issued for
her arrest in the case.
Assisting on the scene was the
Middleport Fire Department.
Neutralization of the methamphetamine lab was completed by the
Middleport Police Department.
This is the second methamphetamine lab investigated by
the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office in the past week.

vision. Knowing and working with Pam for 23 years,
it was very meaningful for
me to have the opportunity to present her with this
very special award that
recognizes her work over
the years and what she has
contributed to the aging
network in Ohio. I have
had people tell me they are
better people for having
known Pam Matura.”
Matura has been Executive Director of the Area
Agency on Aging District
7 since 1989. Prior to,
she was Superintendent
for the Gallipolis Developmental Center (GDC)
from 1985-1989. She
earned her bachelor’s degree in Social Work from
Rio Grande College and
her master’s degree in
Health Science from the
University of Florida. In
addition, she has a specialist certificate in Gerontology from the University of Florida, as well
as a number of other certifications and licensures.
Matura has 24 years of
experience at the Area
Agency on Aging and 15
years of experience specific to developmental disabilities. Matura credits
the talented staff and individuals she has worked
with over the years for
the achievements and successes she has been able to

share with them as a part
of her leadership roles.
Examples of some of her
“favorite” leadership milestones include the establishment in the 1980s of a
GDC regional diagnostic
evaluation center for individuals with developmental disabilities, which was
the first of its kind and is
used by Ohio’s county probate judges; and also while
at GDC, the purchase of
Smeltzer’s
Greenhouse
and Garden Center in Gallipolis in the 1980s, which
was transformed into “Riverview Productions,” a
program developed to provide work opportunities
for GDC residents with
developmental disabilities
in order to sustain meaningful employment.
During her years at
AAA7, Matura recalls the
implementation of the
PASSPORT program in
1990, which allows older
adults with a nursing
home level of care to remain in their homes and
receive services from a variety of community agencies with whom the AAA7
contracts. Currently, there
are around 4,000 individuals being served through
PASSPORT in the AAA7’s
ten counties, making it
one of the largest rural
programs of its kind in the
nation, with the program
having helped create and/
or expand the Agency’s
118 service providers in

the AAA7’s 10-county
district. Currently, the
Agency has an overall budget of approximately $52
million with 140 directline staff at AAA7 offices
in Adams County (West
Union), Gallia County
(Rio Grande), Pike County (Waverly) and Scioto
County (Wheelersburg).
Services, provided directly through the AAA7, or
through contracted community providers include,
but are not limited to: information, referral and assistance; personal care and
homemaking; respite care;
adult day care; assisted
living; caregiver support;
case management; home
repair;
transportation;
home-delivered
meals;
community-center
meal
programs; and linkage to
community services.
In addition, Matura
recalls the ten years the
Agency expanded its mission with the Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Case Management Program, which provided helpful assistance for
individuals with HIV who
needed to connect with important resources and services in the community. At
the time, no other agency
was doing this type of service, and the AAA7 agreed
to assist until the capacity
of other more appropriate
agencies could be developed so that individuals
in southern Ohio would
not go without services or

JULY 25 &amp; 26

have to drive to urban areas for the services.
Currently, Matura is
proud of the work the
Agency has achieved with
the
recently-launched
federal Veteran’s Self-Directed Program. Through
the program, AAA7 care
managers help veterans
of all ages, who live with
physical and psychological conditions, connect
with resources in the
community in order to
live safely and independently at home. One of
only 26 like programs in
the nation, after only one
year of operation, the
partnership the AAA7
has with the Ohio Regional VA Medical Center
in Chillicothe is currently
the largest rural program
of its kind and the third
largest in the nation.
Matura, again, goes back
to the notion that there is
no “I” in “team” and that
the successes she has been
able to be a part of are really an extension of the hard
work and dedication of the
fabulous individuals she
has had the opportunity
to work with, lead, mentor and collaborate with.
She was very honored to
receive the award from
OAGE and thankful for all
the opportunities and relationships in her career that
have helped her achieve a
lifetime of experiences.
Matura resides in Gallipolis with her husband,
Ray, a sociology professor
at the University of Rio
Grande. She has two children, Meagan (Matura)
Barnes and Ryan Matura;
son-in-law, Chris Barnes;
daughter-in-law, Stephanie (Hager) Matura; and
grandson, Nick Barnes.

Q&amp;A: Latest health law
fight: Battle of mandates
Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar,
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — If businesses get
an extra year to meet a new health care
mandate, why not everybody else?
Republicans, seizing on the White
House delay for employers, are demanding that the Obama administration give
individual Americans an equal break.
But the White House says that’s just a
thinly disguised gambit for dismantling
the entire health care overhaul.
What to believe?
“If businesses can get relief from
Obamacare, the rest of America ought
to be able to get relief as well,” declares
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
“A delay in the individual mandate
is repeal by another name,” responds
White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri. She described
it as a political attempt to sabotage
health care for the uninsured.
The battle of the mandates is the
latest clash in the long-running political fight over health care — a
fight that’s far from over.
Under President Barack Obama’s big
overhaul, most people will be required to
have insurance starting next Jan. 1, and
larger businesses were supposed to offer
affordable health care to their employees
who average 30 hours of work a week.
Here are some questions and answers
in the aftermath of the administration’s
sudden delay of the employer mandate:
Q: So what are the law’s mandates?
A: One is for individuals and another
for employers. The individual requirement takes effect in 2014; the employer
mandate has been delayed until 2015.
Under the health care law, virtually
all Americans must carry medical insurance, either through an employer or a
government program, or by buying their
own policies. Most people are unaffected
because they already have coverage.
Q: If you don’t have it, how do
you get it?
Middle-class individuals and families
with no access to job-based health insurance will be able to buy subsidized private coverage through new markets that
open Oct. 1. Low-income people will be
steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it.
Those who remain uninsured will face
fines that start small — as little as $95 in
2014 — but build up over time. There
are exceptions for financial hardship and
other circumstances.
Q: And what about businesses?
A: The employer mandate applies to
companies with 50 or more workers.
They could face fines for not providing
coverage, and also if their plan is deemed

unaffordable under the law.
According to the Kaiser Family
Foundation, 95 percent of employers
with 50 or more workers already offer health benefits. Nonetheless, it’s a
big issue for small businesses that are
growing, and for companies that employ lots of low-wage workers not currently offered health insurance.
Q: If the administration delays one
mandate, why not the other?
A: Actually, the two mandates are
in the law for different reasons and
purposes. Delaying the individual requirement, which has survived a Supreme Court challenge, would have a
much bigger impact.
It serves as a stiff nudge to get as many
Americans as possible into the insurance
pool. The premiums of healthy people
are needed to offset the cost of covering
people in poor health who currently can
be excluded by insurers.
“It’s what’s going to keep the insurance markets from collapsing once we
open the door to people with pre-existing conditions,” said Timothy Jost,
a law professor at Washington and Lee
University in Virginia who supports
the health overhaul. Starting Jan. 1,
insurers are barred from turning away
people in poor health.
The employer mandate was designed as a guard rail, to deter
employers from dropping coverage
and shifting workers to taxpayersubsidized programs. It’s expected
to play only a supporting role in
the expansion of coverage to millions of uninsured people.
Q: What’s the impact of delaying the
employer requirement?
A: The administration says it will give
more time to work out the rules in a way
that’s fair to businesses. Reporting requirements that would allow the Internal
Revenue Service to enforce the mandate
turned out to be extremely complicated.
Among the problems is that businesses
have to keep track of employees’ hours
in a different way. Business groups were
relieved to have another year.
However, the delay could also raise
government costs and leave some workers uninsured.
Taxpayers would wind up paying
more because some workers will get coverage through the new insurance marketplaces instead of through employers,
and they’ll be entitled to new tax credits
to help with premiums.
Q: Why are Republicans objecting to
a delay in a law they’ve been trying to
repeal?
A: Democrats say the answer is clear:
politics.

CIA let 9/11 prisoner
design vacuum cleaner
Adam Goldman

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Confined to the basement of
a CIA secret prison in Romania about a decade ago,
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the admitted mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, asked his jailers
whether he could embark
on an unusual project:
Would the spy agency allow Mohammed, who had
earned his bachelor’s in
mechanical engineering, to
design a vacuum cleaner?
The agency officer
in charge of the prison
called CIA headquarters
and a manager approved
the request, a former senior CIA official told The
Associated Press.
Mohammed had endured the most brutal of
the CIA’s harsh interrogation methods and had confessed to a career of atrocities. But the agency had
no long-term plan for him.
Someday, he might prove
useful again. Perhaps, he’d
even stand trial one day.
And for that, he’d need
to be sane.
“We didn’t want them
to go nuts,” the former
senior CIA official said,
one of several who spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not
authorized to talk about
the now-shuttered CIA
prisons or Mohammed’s
interest in vacuums.
So, using schematics
from the Internet as his
guide, Mohammed began
re-engineering one of the
most mundane of household appliances.
That the CIA may be in
possession of the world’s
most highly classified
vacuum cleaner blueprints
is but one peculiar, lasting
byproduct of the controversial U.S. detention and
interrogation program.
By the CIA’s own account,
the
program’s
methods were “designed
to psychologically ‘dislocate’” people. But once interrogations stopped, the
agency had to try to undo

the psychological damage
inflicted on the detainees.
In Romania, the prison
provided books for detainees to read. Mohammed,
former officials said, enjoyed the Harry Potter series. The CIA apparently
succeeded in keeping him
sane. He appears to be in
good health, according to
military records.
Others haven’t fared as
well. Accused al-Qaida terrorists Ramzi Binalshibh
and Abd al-Nashiri, who
were also locked up in
Poland and Romania with
Mohammed, have had
mental issues. Al-Nashiri
suffers from depression
and post-traumatic stress
disorder. Binalshibh is being treated for schizophrenia with a slew of anti-psychotic medications.
“Any type of prolonged
isolation in custody —
much less the settings described in the press — have
been known to have a severe impact on the mental
condition of the detainee,”
said Thomas Durkin, Binalshibh’s former civilian
lawyer. Durkin declined to
discuss Binalshibh’s case.
Mohammed was subjected to harsh interrogations
in Poland. Agency officers
and contractors forced
him to stay awake for 180
hours, according to a CIA
inspector general’s report.
He also underwent 183 instances of waterboarding,
or simulated drowning.
After the CIA prison in
Poland was closed in September 2003, Mohammed
was moved to Bucharest,
to a black site code-named
“Britelite.” Soon the CIA was
trying to find ways to entertain Mohammed as his intelligence value diminished.
The prison had a debriefing room, where Mohammed, who saw himself
as something of a professor, held “office hours,” as
he told CIA officers. While
chained to the floor, Mohammed would lecture the
CIA officers on his path
to jihad, his childhood
and family. Tea and cook-

ies were served.
Along with the other five
detainees at the prison in
Bucharest, Mohammed was
given assignments about
his knowledge of al-Qaida,
or “homework,” as CIA officers called it. He was given
Snickers candy bars as rewards for his studiousness.
Though
Mohammed
enjoyed the Harry Potter
books, they were a source
of frustration for the CIA officers at the prison. For security reasons, after a prisoner finished a book, they
tediously checked every
page to ensure detainees
weren’t passing messages.
They once caught detainees trying to hide a
message in a book warning one another not to talk
about Osama bin Laden’s
courier. The courier would
later lead the CIA to bin
Laden’s compound in
Pakistan, where U.S. Navy
SEALs killed him in 2011.
Mohammed graduated
from North Carolina A&amp;T
State University with a
degree in mechanical engineering in 1986. It’s not
clear whether Mohammed
was interested in designing
a better vacuum or had ulterior motives. He might have
intended to use the plans to
conceal secret information
or trick his jailers.
In Graham Greene’s spy
thriller “Our Man in Havana,” a vacuum salesman
in Cuba agrees to work for
MI6, the British spy service. He dupes the British
into believing his vacuum
designs are military installations. The AP was unable to determine whether
Mohammed ever read the
famous novel.
It remains a mystery
how far Mohammed
got with his designs or
whether the plans still exist. The secret CIA prison
in Romania was shuttered
in early 2006 and Mohammed was transferred later
that year to Guantanamo
Bay Naval Base prison,
where he remains. It’s unlikely he was able to take his
appliance plans to Cuba.

Hundreds of new charges
filed in Ohio kidnap case
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The man accused of
holding three women captive in his Cleveland home
for about a decade was charged Friday with hundreds
of additional counts covering the entire time period of
the alleged imprisonment.
The 977-count indictment against Ariel Castro includes charges of rape and kidnapping and two counts
of aggravated murder on accusations that Castro
starved and punched one of the women while she was
pregnant until she miscarried.
The indictment does not include charges that could
carry a death sentence, but Cuyahoga County Prosecutor
Tim McGinty said he is still reserving that option.
Castro, 53, is charged with kidnapping the three
women and holding them captive — sometimes restrained in chains — along with a 6-year-old girl he
fathered with one of them.
Castro pleaded not guilty to an earlier 329-count indictment. A message was left with his attorney Friday seeking comment on the new charges.

Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano resigning
gress over how — or if
— that overhaul will be

The most frequent
contact by most Americans is with the department’s Transportation
Security Administration
screeners at airports.
But its charter is much
broader: It comprises
agencies that protect
the president, respond
to disasters and enforce
immigration laws as well
as secure air travel. It
includes the Secret Service, the Coast Guard,
the Federal Emergency
Management
Agency,
Immigration and Cus-

toms Enforcement and
Customs and Border Protection as well as TSA.
Like the department
Napolitano
has
run
since the beginning of
the Obama administration, the University of
California system is a
giant, multilayered organization, though with
a far different mission.
Her appointment, which
still must be confirmed
by the system’s board
of regents, could triple
Napolitano’s salary from
$199,700 to around
$600,000. She said she
would stay on as secretary until early September.

It is not clear whom
Obama may be considering to replace her.
Sen. Charles Schumer,
D-N.Y., said Friday he
wants to Obama to nominate New York Police
Department
Commissioner Ray Kelly.
Unlike the University
of California school system, which dates to the
1860s, the Homeland Security Department is just
a decade old and at times
has seemed in search of a
clear mission.

Jr. in a shallow grave

Riverside County prosecutors have also asked
for a court hearing to determine whether the halfbrother should be tried as

an adult, said John Hall, a
spokesman for the district
attorney’s office.
The Associated Press is

Initial reports from the

his nickname, “JuJu.”
His father, however,

To get in shape for fall, consider a 5K race
Jim Freeman
In The Open

If you want to get into shape for
fall hunting, or if you have been
pondering a more active lifestyle,
consider running or walking in a
5K race as your first goal.
Although I can’t find the information to back it up, I would
say the five kilometer race (or
just “5K” to most people) is easily the most common race in the
country; they are held almost
everywhere – at all times of the

year – and they are generally affordable compared to their longer brethren, and almost anyone
can do it with only some modest
preparation and conditioning.
Later on in this column I will
be pointing out some of the upcoming area races.
So just what is a 5K race? If
you don’t grasp kilometers, it
is a distance just slightly less
than 3.11 miles (or 16,404.2
feet). In Ohio it is the distance
high school cross-country runners run every weekend in the

fall. It is a distance long enough
to test one’s cardio-respiratory
endurance, but short enough
that it doesn’t require a lot of
time to complete the event or a
lengthy recovery period.
Conveniently enough it is also
the distance of the Pomeroy
Walking Path from the parking
lot downtown, to the end of the
path near Nye Avenue and back.
For experienced runners or
walkers it might be “just” a 5K,
but for newbies the distance can
seem daunting. You can do it. It

isn’t an impossible or inconceivable distance, and at practically
every event you will see people
walking it with baby strollers,
little kids or jogging it with their
dogs – or “holding hands and
singing Kumbaya” as I like to
joke. In a good-sized race, chances are there is someone like you
participating (and if there aren’t
that just gives you more chances
for age-group awards).
Five-K racing is for everybody,
men and women. In fact, in 2011
women made up 57 percent of

the participants in 5K races (according to Running USA) and
even outnumber the guys in 10K
(6.2 miles) and half-marathon
(roughly 21K, or 13.1 miles) races. The marathon (26.2 miles)
is the exception with more men
than women. The typical 5K runner is a 32-year-old woman, who
completes the race in average
time of 34:09, while the typical
male is about 34 years old and
will finish around 28 minutes.

Brad Keselowski is back on
top of NASCAR.
Well, for a race, at least.
But he’s quickly running out of time to make
it back to the Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship and defend his
series championship.
His first pole of the season might give his season the boost he needs
to become a contender.
Keselowski turned a lap

at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Keselowski won only
his third career pole and
first since 2011. With
eight races left until the
12-driver Chase field is
set, Keselowski is winless and sitting in an uncomfortable 13th place in
the points standings.
“There is a sense of urgency but not a sense of

Nease leads Riverside
Seniors after two weeks

Lemley took the head coaching
job in 2003 and has amassed 175
wins, second-most in school history behind Mick Winebrenner with
201. The Tornadoes have won
seven district titles, three Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
championships and has finished as
regional runners-up twice during
Lemley’s tenure.
“All that success is attributed
to hard work, not just from the
time that I put in — but the kids
as well,” said Lemley. “I think the
work ethic of the kids here is unparalleled when it comes to baseball and that is what caused the
continued success.”
Lemley was named Coach of the
Year in the TVC Hocking three
times, the most recent coming
this past season, and Coach of the
Year in the Southeast District four
times, most recently in 2012. His

2012 baseball team set a school
record with a 27-1 record and an
undefeated regular season.
Lemley acquired some great
achievements and memories during his time with the Purple and
Gold, and he still bares a big smile
when reflecting on some of those
better moments.
“In 2010 we beat Tuscarawas
Central Catholic in the regional
semifinal,” Lemley said. “The article from that game is framed at
my house, ‘Tornadoes shut out
TCC, advance to regional final’.
That game stands out to me as our
signature win in my 11 years.”
Lemley also noted that the

Andrew Dorn finishes strong to win Ohio Amateur
CANTON, Ohio (AP) —
Coastal Carolina University’s
golf team had a little competition
between the players this past
season: Whoever had the best
final four holes in each tournament was the winner.
Andrew Dorn brought that
little game to the Ohio Amateur
on Friday.
Dorn trailed by as many as
three shots early, then overtook
Michael Bernard on the 14th
hole before adding clinching
birdies on the two closing holes
to etch his name on the same
trophy that includes Arnold
Palmer, John Cook, Ben Curtis
and Frank Stranahan.
“I take pride in the last four
holes,” the West Chester native
said after capping a 2-over-par
73 that left him with a two-stroke
victory at Brookside Country
Club. “I really tried to focus even
harder than I had all day on the
last four holes, especially knowing how close it was going to be.”
Dorn trailed Bernard, the
2010 winner of the Ohio Am
and an Ohio State sophomore,
by three shots after the seventh
hole. He pulled even with a par
on the 11th hole and took the

lead by rolling in a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 14th.
Clinging to a one-shot lead,
he gave himself some breathing room by birdieing the final holes. He blasted out of a
greenside bunker to 6 feet and
hit the putt at 17, then pounded
a 3-iron to reach the green in
two shots at 18 before taking
two putts, the last from 2 feet.
Dorn, who will be a junior
with the Chanticleers this fall,
followed rounds of 66 and 69 to
finish at 5-under 208.
He didn’t come into the day trying to be a birdie machine. With
the course drying out after heavy
rains that shortened the tournament from 72 to 54 holes, and
with treacherous pin placements
all over the place, he knew he’d
have to play for par and pick his
spots to go for anything better.
“I was just trying to hang
in there,” the former Moeller
High School player said. “I
knew scores were going to be
higher today, with the pin locations and the course in general.
It got harder as the tournament
went on. I just figured if I could
just hang in there, and with
two par 5s to finish, no matter

what, even if I was a couple of
shots back I could easily make
that up on the last two. I had to
keep myself calm and stay patient out there because birdies
were pretty rare.”
There were only two subpar
rounds and one even-par score of
the 65 competitors on Friday.
West Union’s Corey Richmond, the leader after the
first round with a 63 and coleader heading into the final
18 holes, sagged to a 76 and
was tied for second with Akron’s Dan Belden (71).
Richmond, a native of West
Union who will be a senior at
Northern Kentucky, held at least
a share of the lead from Tuesday
at noon until things unraveled
on holes 5 through 8. He went
double-bogey, double-bogey, bogey and bogey there and could
never make up ground.
“I just had that rough stretch
where I went 6 over on four
holes,” he said. “Other than that
I was 1 under the rest of the day
but just couldn’t get it figured
out on those four holes.”
He hooked his drive into the
creek along the fifth fairway. Then
his chip from just off the sixth

green ran down the huge ramp in
the middle of the green before he
three-putted from 60 feet.
The third member of the final group, Bernard, appeared
to have grabbed the tournament by the throat when he
rammed in an uphill 55-footer
on that same green.
But on the eighth hole he
hit his drive to the right and
laid up into a bunker. His third
shot on the par-4 sailed a good
30 yards long and he settled
for double-bogey.
Still, he regrouped and
hung on to the lead until he
bogeyed six holes in a row, 1116, on the way to a 79 that left
him alone in sixth place, five
shots behind Dorn.
“Honestly, today I felt confident, I felt comfortable out
there,” said Bernard, who became the youngest Ohio Am
winner three years ago when
he was just 16. “I wasn’t hitting terrible shots. It’s just that
everything was bad enough to
get me into trouble.”
Playing two groups in
front of the final threesome,
Belden birdied the 10th, 11th
and 12th holes to get into the

thick of things but faltered
down the stretch.
“Unfortunately, I hit bad tee
shots on 15 and 16 and made
a couple of bogeys and I didn’t
birdie 17,” he said. “I gave myself
a shot. It’s been a while. It was
fun to get back into contention.”
Zanesville’s Chase Wilson
(High Point University) shot a 74
and was along in fourth at 211.
Next came Westfield Center’s
Parker Hewit (Bowling Green),
who also shot a 74, at 212.
Dorn has had quite a week.
He captured the prestigious
North &amp; South — one of the
biggest amateur prizes in the
country — on Saturday in Pinehurst, N.C. Then he added the
state’s top prize for amateurs —
also on a Donald Ross course.
“I played really well last week,”
he said. “I drove straight home,
got home on Saturday evening
and then left on Monday morning for this. I was just trying to
carry it over.”
He did that. Particularly down
the stretch.
Gallipolis
native
Mike
Haynes missed the final cut after rounds of 76 and 85 led to
a two-day tally of 161.

AP Sports Briefs
COLUMBUS,
Ohio
(AP) — The prosecutor’s
office in Columbus says a
former Ohio State football
player previously caught
up in the school’s memorabilia scandal has been indicted on felony drug and
weapons charges.
The Franklin County
prosecutor said 26-year-old
former Buckeyes receiver
Ray Small was indicted
this week on felony drug
possession and trafficking charges that included
firearms
specifications.
Records showed he was in
jail Friday but not give attorney information.
Authorities said the
grand jury indictments
stemmed from an April

search of Small’s Columbus apartment that yielded
heroin and oxycodone, as
well as a semi-automatic
handgun and assault rifle.
Small played at OSU
from 2006 to 2009 was one
of several players involved
in a high-profile football
memorabilia scandal. He
also was indicted earlier
this year on drug charges
in Meigs County.

Renovation planned
for Kentucky
hoops arena

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)
— Rupp Arena’s latest
proposed makeover will
make it a stand-alone facility that state and local
officials hope will reinvent
downtown.
Kentucky Gov. Steve
Beshear, Mayor Jim Gray

and officials from Lexington Center on Wednesday
announced a renovation
plan that will separate the
37-year-old home of Kentucky men’s basketball
from the adjoining convention center, which will be
expanded 100,000 square
feet. Lexington Center
Board chairman Brent Rice
said a funding plan will be
finalized within 45 days.
Rupp’s 23,500-seat capacity will remain but adds
chair-back seats to the upper deck, expanded concourses and a new centerhanging scoreboard.
Seattle-based NBBJ is
the architect while Hunt
Construction Group of
Indianapolis will handle
renovation of the facility it
originally built.
The project is expected

NASCAR issues
no penalties
for roof flaps

DAYTONA
BEACH,
Fla. (AP) — NASCAR has
declined to penalize the 31
cars that failed inspection
in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series at Daytona.
NASCAR confiscated the
teams’ roof flaps, which are
designed to keep cars on
the ground during spins
and wrecks at high speeds,
for further inspection.
Thirty-one cars, including 16 in the Sprint Cup

Series, failed inspection
before Thursday’s practices at Daytona International Speedway.
NASCAR vice president
of competition Robin Pem-

berton says the “functionality and safety aspects
of the roof flaps were not
compromised and the on
track competition would
not be impacted.”

Penn State’s board authorizes Sandusky settlements
UNIONTOWN,
Pa.
(AP) — Penn State
could soon be paying out
millions of dollars to victims of former assistant
football coach Jerry Sandusky after disclosing
Friday it had tentative
agreements with some of
the young men who say
he sexually abused them.

The school does not
plan to comment on specifics until the deals are
made final, which could
happen in the coming
weeks. University president Rodney Erickson
called getting approval for
settlement offers “another
important step toward the
resolution of claims from

Sandusky’s victims.”
“As we have previously
said, the university intends
to deal with these individuals in a fair and expeditious
manner, with due regard to
their privacy,” Erickson
said in a statement issued
after the university’s Board
of Trustees approved a settlement resolution.

Sandusky, 69, was convicted a year ago of 45
counts of child sexual
abuse, including violent attacks on boys inside school
facilities. He is serving a
30- to 60-year prison term
and maintains he was
wrongfully convicted. He
is pursuing appeals.
More than 30 claimants
have come forward with
sexual abuse allegations
involving the longtime assistant to late coach Joe
Paterno. The deals will be
limited to a range of dollar
values and subject to final
approval by a committee
empowered by the board
to handle the claims. A
university
spokesman
said the school plans to
release the total amount it
pays to settle lawsuit but
will not provide amounts
for individual cases.
Sandusky’s arrest in November 2011 touched off a
massive scandal that led to
the dismissal of Paterno,
then Division I football’s
winningest coach, along
with criminal charges
against other high-ranking
school officials and ultimately NCAA sanctions
that included stripping Paterno of 111 victories.
Board chairman Keith
Masser said it was part
of getting past the scandal and the collateral
damage it has done to
the university.
“We’re just chipping
away at getting these issues
behind us,” Masser said.
Legal experts say the
“value” of a child sexual
abuse claims depends on
several factors, including
the victim’s age and the
nature and frequency of
the abuse. Many details
about the Sandusky abuse
claims have not been made
public, but other molestation cases suggest Penn
State may have to pay
hundreds of thousands of
dollars, up to several million, to reach settlements.
Ira Lubert, the trustee who chairs the Committee on Legal and

Jerry Sandusky, center, is escorted from his sentencing at the
Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte on Tuesday, October
9, 2012. Sandusky, maintaining his innocence, was sentenced
Tuesday to at least 30 years in prison, effectively a life sentence, in the child sexual abuse scandal that brought shame
to Penn State and led to coach Joe Paterno’s downfall.

Compliance, told the
board that “tentative
settlements have been
reached on a number of
existing claims” without detailing how many
have settled, how many
remain and how much
money — individually
or in the aggregate —
might be involved.
Lubert said his committee was empowered to
authorize the settlements
itself, but thought it was
important that the trustees approved the move in a
public meeting. The trustees voted unanimously to
make the settlement offers.
The committee was
briefed in detail on the
proposed settlements during a June 25 executive
session and another such
meeting Friday morning,
before the trustees met
publicly at Penn StateFayette, a satellite campus
near Uniontown, about 40
miles south of Pittsburgh.
Harrisburg
attorney
Chuck Schmidt said his
client was one who expects to finish a deal
based on terms provided
by the university over the
past week. He said only
confidentiality provisions
remain to be ironed out.
“We have an offer, and
we have, basically, an

agreement with the client to accept the offer,”
Schmidt said.
Schmidt’s client, who
filed a lawsuit that has
been on hold, was not
among those who testified
at Sandusky’s trial.
The firm of Feinberg
Rozen LLP has been helping the university reach the
settlements. It brokered
mass litigation settlements
stemming from incidents
as varied as the September
11 terrorist attacks to the
BP oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico and the Virginia
Tech shooting massacre.
Friday marked one
year since the release of
a university-funded report about its handling
of the Sandusky scandal
that was highly critical
of the actions by Paterno,
former president Graham
Spanier and former administrators Tim Curley
and Gary Schultz.
Spanier, Curley and
Schultz await a July 29 preliminary hearing on criminal charges over an alleged
cover up of complaints
about Sandusky. All three
men deny the allegations.
Spanier remains a faculty member on leave, while
athletic director Curley
and vice president Schultz
have retired. Paterno died
last year of lung cancer.

The Daily News reported
that Smith, who had said

that he would likely attend if

Smith initially caused some
confusion when he responded with a “no comment”
when asked if he would attend. He later explained he
hadn’t heard of “Jets West”

MLB has spent most of the
year investigating about 20 players for their links to Biogenesis
of America, including A-Rod
and Braun, both former MVPs.
Miami New Times reported in
January that the closed Florida
anti-aging clinic had distributed
banned performance-enhancing
drugs to major leaguers.
Lawyers for the commissioner’s office have been interviewing players and many, including
Braun, have refused to answer
questions about their dealings
with Biogenesis, the three people
said. Braun was interviewed in

for a first offense, 100 games for
a second and a lifetime ban for a
third. Among the players linked
to Biogenesis, Toronto’s Melky
Cabrera, Oakland’s Bartolo Colon
and San Diego’s Yasmani Grandal
have served 50-game penalties following positive testosterone tests.
The drug agreement specifies
that if a suspension for a first PED
offense is challenged by the union,
the violation is not made public
unless the penalty is sustained in
arbitration. However, discipline
for second and third offenses are
announced and served while the
grievance is litigated.

late June, and Rodriguez is scheduled to be interviewed Friday.
Braun and Rodriguez have
said they didn’t do anything that
merits discipline.
The players’ refusal to respond
to MLB’s questions were first
reported by ESPN and the New
York Daily News.
MLB hopes to complete the
player interviews in mid-July but
is not sure whether it will meet
that schedule. Management then
will have to decide what discipline it intends to impose.
Baseball’s joint drug agreement
calls for a 50-game suspension

Commemorating the Civil War sesquicentennial
Remembering the Battle
of Buffington Island
Charlene Hoeflich

choeflich@civitasmedia.com

PORTLAND — History
will come alive Saturday as a
weekend commemoration of
the Civil War sesquicentennial
gets under way in Portland
on the very ground where the
only significant battle of the
Civil War in Ohio took place
on July 19, 1863.
This year’s 150th anniversary observance will provide an
opportunity for a new generation to discover the role Ohioans played in the war — “this
mighty scourge which changed
life in Ohio” as Abraham Lincoln described it.
For many years memorial observances have been held at the
site of the Buffington Island Memorial Park in remembrance of
the Union and Confederate soldiers who fought and died there.
In recent years there have
been major reenactments of that
battle by Confederate and Union
reenactors. However, this year’s
event scheduled for next Saturday and Sunday will take a different turn. The emphasis will
not be on battle re-enactments,
although a few skirmishes may
take place, but on creating a
free educational event which
will include a living history with
demonstrations on the lifestyle
experienced by the Union and
Confederate cavalry at that time.
“The focus for the weekend
will be on the soldiers and the
civilians’ experiences during
Morgan’s raid,” said Karen Hassel of the Ohio Historical Society who has been working with
local groups on planning the
event. “The weekend activities,”
she added, “are geared for families to experience what it might
have been like to live in southeast Ohio when Confederate and
Union troops descended upon
the quiet rural area.”
Reenactors will be arriving on
Friday and setting up their camp
sites for the weekend in the area
of the Buffington Island Memorial Park. Activities there will get
underway on Saturday morning
with the dedication of the Heritage Trail which marks the path
taken by Morgan and his men
across southern Ohio and into
the Portland community.
The trail, only recently completed, is marked with 56 38x36
inch interpretive signs each
telling a story of happenings as
Morgan’s troops moved across
the state causing destruction
and stealing horses and provisions along the way.
Eleven of those large markers
are in Meigs County at the sites
of Confederate and Union encounters. In addition there are
81 directional signs in the county
which mark the trail traveled by
Morgan and his men to guide
those traveling the Heritage Trail.
The opening ceremony to
include the Heritage Trail
dedication will be held at 11
a.m. Saturday. Speakers will
be a representative of the Ohio
Historical Society along with a
representative from the office
of Gov. John Kasich, Representative Debbie Phillips and Senator Lou Gentile, and Reenac-

tor Edd Sharp of the Heritage
Trail Commission.
At 11:30 a.m. the traditional
memorial service for Union
and Confederate soldiers who
died in the Battle of Buffington Island will be conducted
by Cabot Blessing 126 Camp
and Benjamin Fearing Camp
2, Sons of the Union Veterans,
along with the Auxiliary to the
Ohio Department, with Jim
Oiler coordinating that service.
Wreaths will be laid at the base
of the monument in the park
and there will be a gun salute in
tribute to those who lost their
lives on the battlefield.
At 3 p.m., a special memorial
service honoring Union Major
Daniel McCook of the Fighting
McCooks and recognition of descendants of Meigs Countians in
Union regiments who fought in
the Battle of Buffington Island
will take place at the McCook
monument at Portland. The Ohio
Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the
United States will be hosting a
wreath-laying ceremony at the
Ohio Historical Society monument in a re-dedication ceremony.
Meanwhile, 45-minute wagon
rides over the battlefield will begin and continue throughout the
afternoon. Aboard will be a narrator describing events as they
occurred 150 years ago as the
wagon moves along.
All day Saturday and Sunday
following a morning worship
service in the park, living history
demonstrations will be held by
the reenactors in the park area
where they will be camping for
the weekend. This will include
daily living skills such as cooking,
lots of interaction with visitors
about the hard times of war, and
games and activities for children,
like drills with wooden guns.
The Portland Community
Center Museum will be open to
the public for viewing of its collection of Civil War artifacts. On
display there for the weekend
will be two Civil War flags, one
which was flown at Buffington
Island during the battle in 1863,
and another which was carried
by a unit which fought in the battle. They will be brought in from
the Ohio Historical Society collection for display over the weekend at the Portland museum.
At the Meigs Museum in
Pomeroy, there will be period
artifacts on display including the
voting ballots of Meigs County
soldiers from the 1864 election.
The Museum will be open from
1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday for viewing the exhibit featuring the
encapsulated ballots from the
presidential election where the
candidates were Abraham Lincoln, the Union (Republican)
candidate, and George McClellan, the Democrat.
The restored Chester Courthouse, built in 1828 and its
companion building, the Chester
Academy, will also be displaying
artifacts and written materials
from Civil War days. The Chester Post Office will be offering
the 150th Anniversary Civil War
Commemorative Stamp all day,
and from 7 to 9:30 p.m. there will
be a Civil War ball under the big
tent on the Chester Commons.

by the Ohio Historical Society for the commemoration. One of the flags flew over Buffington Island during the
battle, the other was carried by a regiment in battle.

SNP: My fight for bipolar Extension Corner
awareness and action
Jodi Hobbs

Mother, home educator and advocate for two special needs/autistic children

“Mom, can you look at the braille
work I’ve done and tell me what you
use to get it to raise? I heard the most
amazing phrase on Numb3rs! ‘Zombie
with a gun. Waiting for words that will
never come.’” This is what my 8-yearold Bipolar/LHON/ADD/Anxiety/Possible Aspergers but no one can ever
agree/Pediatric Migraines with aura
daughter (Bipolar Girl) greets me
with as she bounces into my room.
She hands me index cards that she has
carefully written letters on and above
them a very painstakingly copied series
of braille dots from a list she printed
off the Internet. An interesting set of
behaviors from one 8-year-old child, I
know. I explained to her that to make
it actual braille, we would need an
expensive braille labeler. Last week, I
walked past her doing a word find with
the word HIPPOPOTAMUS. She had
written down ‘mus’, as a word. I tried
correcting her, and she informed me
it was Latin for mouse. I looked it up.
She’s right. As to her fascination with
“Numb3rs”, she gets very OCD about
TV and books. She insists on sciencefiction or crime-dramas that feature extremely smart male figures, like Charlie
the math prodigy in “Numb3rs” or Dr.
Rush in “Stargate Universe”. Then she
talks about them incessantly and drives
all of us in the house stark-raving mad
(most of us are already there, but still!).
Bipolar Girl has Leber’s Hereditary
Optic Neuropathy (LHON). She’s lost
enough of her sight to be classified visually impaired. We’re currently training
one service-dog-in-training that we rescued from the local shelter, Tinkerbelle,
a black lab mix sweeter than molasses.
The children and myself all qualify for
a service animal. So it’s uncertain who
this point who will benefit most from
Tinkerbelle and who will benefit from
near future dog/puppy choices. We
wish to train them very close together.
I also believe the dog has lifted the depression and doom atmosphere began
by the beginning of The Divorce.
I’m also not sure whether the animal
will better serve her as a traditional service animal (depending on how her experimental vision treatment, Idebenone,
continues to work long-term) and the
fact her bipolarism is extremely strong.
When she’s in the moment - she puts
that little girl with the spinning head in
the Exorcist to shame. Evil. Stress is her
main button. State standardized testing
this year made her suicidal. I’ll tackle
that issue in another post.
I’ve said all these words, but realize I
haven’t really described my daughter at
all. She’s extremely intelligent according to standardized testing and has
huge blue eyes framed by black lashes
as big as paint brushes. She started
struggling somewhere between ages
five and six with depression and rapid
mood swings. She started throwing
herself on the floor, banging her head
and pulling out her hair to cope with
the stress while she begged me for help.
She loves poetry. At six, she made me
buy her a $35 hard-backed volume that
I knew I’d regret. I never did, she reads
it frequently to this day. I love her more
than life itself. It would be an honor to
take a bullet for her.
I fear that my beautiful, passionate
daughter who is now beginning to write

Aurora with her favorite painting in front
of blooming pink roses in May 2013.

her own poetry is being ignored by the
world. Bipolarism just doesn’t get the
press other disorders do, but I assure
you — it’s terribly disabling and terrifying. You are trapped in a brain full
of negativity and depression, unable to
understand or figure out how to help
yourself. Many adult bipolar patients are
misdiagnosed for years, sometimes decades. Even childhood patients who fit
the profile usually are diagnosed with an
“Unspecified Mood Disorder”, because
many experts in the field feel hesitant to
rush to a bipolar diagnosis. It terrifies
me to watch her rapidly-cycling between
hysterical giggles and throwing household items across the room screaming
like a mythical creature. I’ll spend the
rest of my life fighting for my daughter’s quality of care and a cure for this
insidious disease. I won’t allow her to
fall into it’s black pit and never return.
The suicide rate for bipolarism is 20
percent. My daughter won’t be the one
in five who succumb.
Please support my calls that more
attention, research and money be put
towards Bipolar research, both adult
and pediatric. Contact your local and
national representatives in legislature
to let them know this terrible disease
has destroyed the life of too many beautiful, bright-eyed children for too long.
Call and write letters. Start Internet petitions. Let’s raise a little hell, people!

Singer Randy Travis recovering from brain surgery
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country
music stars and fans joined together to
urge prayers for Randy Travis overnight as
he recovered from brain surgery following
a stroke at a Texas hospital.
Travis remained in critical condition after surgery Thursday morning to relieve
pressure on his brain, publicist Kirt Webster said. The 54-year-old Grammy Awardwinning singer had been improving while
being treated for heart failure caused by a
viral infection when he had the stroke.
Steady concern for Travis, a popular
and pivotal figure in country music,
turned to active support as stars like
Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum and
Martina McBride and the Grand Ole
Opry used Twitter to join Webster’s call
for prayers. Hundreds of users reached
out using the hashtag PrayforRandy.
“We’re all pulling for you Randy,” Brad
Paisley said via Twitter.
The setback occurred hours after
doctors said Travis was showing signs
of improvement since the start of treatment Sunday for congestive heart failure and the insertion of a pump to help
his heart increase blood flow.
His doctors said Wednesday in a
video statement that his heart problem
stemmed from an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus, but they have
not released any information since.
Infections, both viral and bacterial,
may start elsewhere in the body but
sometimes can affect the heart, either
because the infection itself spreads or

because immune cells that are fighting it
enter the heart and cause inflammation.
About 20 different viruses, including the
flu, can lead to this so-called myocarditis,
and there’s no way to predict who is at particular risk, said Dr. Justine Lachmann of
Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola,
N.Y. When younger people develop heart
failure, it’s usually for this reason.
Most people recover from myocarditis, but a small number rapidly develop
life-threatening illness — experiencing a domino effect as the inflammation weakens the heart muscle, leading
to congestive heart failure, in which
the heart can’t pump properly. Doctors
treat them with supportive care, trying to allow the heart muscle to rest
and recover, sometimes by inserting
devices such as the one Travis received
to help the heart pump.
His heart problems in turn led to the
stroke and can cause other complications.
It was not clear what kind of stroke Travis suffered. The most common type of
stroke is caused by a blood clot that travels to the brain. The other kind happens
when a blood vessel in the head bursts or
leaks. Stroke patients who get treatment
quickly are usually given a drug to dissolve the clot that caused the stroke.
Drs. William Gray and Michael Mack
of the Baylor Health Care System in
Texas described Travis’ condition and
hospitalization for the first time in a video statement earlier Wednesday, noting
his condition had stabilized and he had
“shown signs of improvement.”

Stop frying eggs, Death
Valley officials say
DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK,
Calif. (AP) — It gets so hot in Death Valley that you can fry an egg with sun power.
That’s what one Death Valley National
Park employee did last week, when she
took a frying pan to the pavement and
posted the video online.
Park visitors park were quick to imitate her, but they didn’t use skillets and
left gooey messes. The park then issued

a plea on its Facebook page to crack
down on the egg-frying fiasco.
Death Valley highs have been hovering
around 120 degrees, and on Wednesday
the park marked the 100th anniversary of
the world’s hottest day on record — 134
degrees — set there in 1913.
Park rangers say the egg frying has
since stopped due to rain and clouds that
have rolled across Death Valley.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday,
July 15, 2013:
This year you might experience
some tension. Finding effective ways of
handling stress can make a big difference. This year is unusually fortunate
for you, as you are in the first year of a
new luck cycle. You will feel the expansion and optimism that comes with it.
If you are single, you are entering a
period where you could meet someone
very important to your life history. Your
social life also could be very active. If
you are attached, your sweetie can’t
help but respond to your upbeat mood.
You enter a very special period as a
couple. LIBRA weighs the pros and
cons of emotional situations.
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)
HHH You might be touchy, and you
could turn sarcastic at the drop of a
hat. If you feel that mood coming on,
back off for everyone’s sake. It’s better
not to say anything at all rather than
something hurtful. Be willing to share
your feelings. Tonight: Decide what is
best for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Staying mellow could be a
challenge, as someone’s agitated
mood seems to be directed at you. Let
this person’s words fall to the wayside;
do not give him or her the power to
hurt you. You might enjoy getting into
a favorite pastime. Tonight: Schedule
a massage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Take advantage of an
unexpected opportunity that heads in
from out of left field. You might want
to think through a response, but you
could lose this opportunity if you do.
Be that spontaneous person everyone
loves. Tonight: Tap into your creativity
around others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Understand what is happening within your immediate circle of
friends. Listen to news more openly,
and know that you need to honor a
change. Question what has been happening within yourself, too. You could
be dealing with more stress than you
realize. Tonight: Order in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Let communication flow
naturally. Your ability to get past a
problem reflects your ingenuity and
your ability to find answers. Make sure
that you are on the same page with
new people you meet. Express your
caring, and a friend will beam. Tonight:
Follow the crowds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH The topic of your finances
keeps coming up. Be prepared to have
a disagreement or two with others,
but not to the point where you might
have to buy someone a peace offering. Indulge yourself, and take a break
from the volatility. Tonight: Do some
shopping on the way home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You beam, and others
respond. You might wonder how to
get past a restriction. Communication
won’t alleviate the issue right now, so
you’ll want to wait a day or two. By
remaining positive, you will help others
develop a positive reaction. Tonight:
All smiles.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HH Know when the odds are
stacked against you. You will discover
that you are best off doing research
or running errands, rather than getting
involved in interpersonal work. Think
through an issue one more time. Err
on the side of caution. Tonight: See
what your friends are up to.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH Meetings, friends and people
in general dominate this day. A child
could surprise you with a spontaneous
reaction. If you are single, you could
be taken aback by a person who might
show up unexpectedly today. Open
up to someone whom you care about.
Tonight: Off to a game.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HH Just when you think everything
finally is mellow, you might discover
that the opposite is true. How much
more chaos can you handle? Figure
out what is going on behind the
scenes. Perhaps you need to detach
more, especially if you take the lead.
Tonight: A must appearance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Your perspective might be
needed. Unless you see an opening,
keep your opinions and thoughts to
yourself. You easily could be misunderstood if you are not careful. Refuse
to get involved with whatever is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Go
anywhere you want.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You will be full of fun and
high energy. Your ability to deal with
a problem comes forward. A partner
could feel overwhelmed. You also
might get some flak for a decision
you’ve made that upsets this person.
Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight:
Break bread with a loved one.

of the program makes it possible
for bright students to work at an
accelerated pace, study topics in
depth, and explore subjects that
are not usually available to students their age. By participating

in CTY, students also have the
opportunity to forge friendships
with students from around the
world who share their interests.
CTY Summer Programs are offered at 24 sites, for Johns Hopkins
University in the east to Stanford
University in the west. The center offers two kinds of summer programs,
residential and day programs.

write and discuss a variety of genres
including poems, short stories, and
essays. This course brings together
students and instructors who, as
experienced writers themselves,
serve as mentors to guide students

through the process of creative writing. Through this process of writing,
critiquing and revising, students develop confidence in their own writing and creative powers.
Kennedy qualified for CTY Summer Programs by participating in
CTY’s Annual Talent Search, which
accepts applications from early September through May. During the Talent Search, advanced young learners
take above-grade level tests designed
for older students as a means of gaining insight into their abilities.

Hasselbeck exits ‘The View’ with no hard feelings
NEW YORK (AP) —
Elisabeth Hasselbeck left
“The View” after a decade
on Wednesday, showing no
hard feelings toward her
colleagues even though her
political views made for
some awkward and heated
exchanges on the daytime
chat fest over the years.
Her exit came less than 24
hours after it was announced

that Hasselbeck will join
Fox News Channel and the
“Fox &amp; Friends” morning
show in September.
Fellow cast member Joy
Behar joked about Hasselbeck being a “fish out
of water” on the Fox show,
which is popular with conservatives. Hasselbeck, who
appeared at the Republican
National Convention in

2008, usually found herself outnumbered on “The
View” when she offered conservative political opinions.
On Wednesday, she
thanked the show’s executive producer, Bill Geddie,
for challenging her and telling her to “never be fearful
of voicing my opinion.”
Hasselbeck
warmly
thanked all of her col-

leagues. She said she
calculated that she spent
some 3,000 days working
with show creator Barbara
Walters, an experience that
was like a master’s class in
communications and journalism. She said Whoopi
Goldberg was as loving as
she was talented and that
she had “an insane amount
of respect” for Behar.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Shane Krogen has no
trouble finding retirees willing to spend a week in the wilderness grubbing out rocks and swinging a pick or shovel
to bring a hiking trail back up to national standards.
The hard part is getting the U.S. Forest Service to
come up with a few thousand dollars to buy the volunteers a T-shirt and feed them well, which is all it takes
to keep them coming back for more.
“The Forest Service will fund us when they can, if
they’ve got the dollars,” said Krogen, executive director
of the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew in Clovis, Calif.
“It’s just a matter of their budgets being cut drastically.”
A government watchdog agency has found that hiking
trails on national forests suffer from a $314 million backlog in maintenance, with only a quarter of the 158,000
miles of trails meeting national quality standards.
“The Forest Service has more miles of trail than it has
been able to maintain, resulting in a persistent maintenance backlog with a range of negative effects,” said the
report from the Government Accountability Office.
Annual funding has lagged far behind the need. In
2012, for example, trails needed $523.7 million for maintenance, operations and capital improvements, according
to the report, yet received only $81.9 million. The gap in
2006 was similar, with $509.1 million of need, but only
$74.2 million in funding.
The report adds that the Forest Service relies heavily
on volunteers to maintain trails, but does not take full
advantage of them. While the Forest Service manual sets
a goal of using volunteers, the agency has not established
that as an expectation of trails managers, and training on
working with volunteers is limited.
In 2012, the equivalent of 667 volunteers working fulltime did $26 million worth of work, the report said. The
volunteer effort was equivalent to the 667 full-time Forest
Service employees working on trails.
The national system of recreational fees does little to
fill the funding gap. The Forest Service told Congress last
month it collects $66 million a year, mostly from campgrounds, cabins and picnic areas. The law authorizing the
fee expires in December 2014.
Jim Furnish is a retired Forest Service deputy chief
for the forest system. He says the problem goes back
decades, and results from the Forest Service and Congress making recreation a low priority, with a low
level of risk when the work doesn’t get done.
