Rodgers, 81 David Ross $2.00 SUNDAY, JULY 28, 2013 Vol. 47, No. 29 Gallia pair to serve prison time for meth Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — A duo arrested early this year for allegedly manufacturing methamphetamine at their Georges Creek home in the vicinity of two small children have now both been sentenced to prison in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County. Aaron A. L. Fitzpatrick, 19, Gallipolis, was sentenced on Wednesday to serve a prison term of four years after pleading guilty to the illegal manufacture of meth, a felony of the first degree. Mary C. Marcum, 33, Gallipolis, who was arrested along with Fitzpatrick after methamphetaminerelated items were located in the home by deputies, was sentenced late last month to a total of 10 years of imprisonment after she was found guilty by a jury of the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. According to the police report filed with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office, deputies had responded to the residence located at 1962 Georges Creek Road during the early morning hours of January 31 to in- vestigate a citizen tip concerning the possibility of methamphetamine being produced in the home. After being given permission to search the home by Marcum, deputies reportedly discovered three “one-pot” containers used in the production of methamphetamine in a trash bag located on the front porch of the residence. The bag was reportedly located approximately 15-20 feet where two children, ages 11 and nine years, were sleeping, according to the report.

See DEADLINE | A2 NEG participants focus on Raccoon Creek Megan Daines Special to the Sunday Times-Sentinel GDTnews@civitasmedia.com GALLIA COUNTY — Although funding for the National Emergency Grants may be coming to a close soon, if it is not extended, the program is moving forward with full force. At the present time, both the wind crew and the flood crew are focusing on cleaning the debris from Raccoon Creek. The wind crew is diligently removing debris in Vinton, Ohio. They are making their way south along Raccoon Creek, where they will meet up with the flood crew, who are working near Cora Mill Road. This joint effort is an attempt to do as much as possible to clean up debris left behind from the wind storm from 2012 and the flood of 2011, before the scheduled end date of the grants. According to wind crew monitor Worthy Stover, the efforts of the NEG along the Raccoon Creek will hopefully be twofold. “We started at the Vinton Community Park where we cleaned the creek bank of brush and debris. It was pretty bad, and people could not fish from the banks or enjoy the view of the creek. We cleaned from the park to the bridge on Route 160 in Vinton.

Member SIPC. O’Bleness welcomes new Emergency Services and Critical Care director NEG From Page A1 we will be working on property along the banks of the Raccoon,” Stover stated. “By removing storm debris from the creek it will make it more visible and safer for canoeing and kayaking, all the while reducing log jams that increase flooding. I believe that when we are done, people will see the beauty of the Raccoon Creek and will hopefully want to use it for recreational purposes. In turn, this interest that people will show in the Raccoon will help boost tourism in Gallia County.” Stover, who avidly enjoys the outdoors, says that Raccoon Creek is one of the most scenic creeks to canoe or kayak in Ohio. Verna Easter, a resident of the Vinton area for 40 years, was greatly pleased with the work of the NEG participants in Vinton. “They are marvelous! I cannot say enough good things about the work that the NEG participants have done at the Vinton Community Park. My husband kept telling me to go look at the park, and I am so glad that I did because after seeing the work of the participants I could see why he was so enthused,” said Easter. “The creek is very beautiful and the park is much cleaner now. It looks the best that Sunday, July 28, 2013 I have seen it in 40 years of living in Vinton!” she added excitedly. Many other residents of the Vinton community and surrounding areas are noticing the work of the NEG participants. However, it is hard work to get Raccoon Creek to look like a park when the participants are finished. It takes many hours of weed eating brush, picking up trash, and cutting up logs and fallen trees to clean up an area. While the goal of the NEG is to clean the debris that has been left behind from the program related storms, the overall effect is that the natural beauty of Gallia County is revealed. One of the largest and most dangerous obstacles that the participants face are the logs and debris stuck in the middle of the creek. To assist with this safely, Safe-All-LandClearing (SALC), a Gallia County business, has been contracted to extract the debris from the middle of the creek. SALC then relocates the logs to where the NEG participants can safely work on them and remove the debris from the site. Preserving the environment is a very important factor when removing the logs. According the guidelines of the grant, SALC is only supposed to CPAP/BIPAP EQUIPMENT Equipment and Supplies Respironics & Resmed ����� � ���� � �������� ������ � �� �� Stop in for FREE Pressure Check 60430741 Family OXYGEN & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT “Faces You Recognize, Service You Deserve” Locally Owned & Operated ��� ���� ������������������������ ���������� 60430046 remove logs that are protruding from the water. While there are many logs under the water, those logs provide a habitat to the many fish and reptiles that live in the waterways of Gallia County. “One of our main goals when removing these logs is to preserve the environment. Several areas that we have worked on are host to an abundant amount of both plant and animal wildlife, so it is crucial that the participants and contractors (such as SALC) know about conservation,” stated NEG Project Manager Mike Daines. “I am very pleased with the work that the participants have done at OOMPD,” Daines said. “They worked really hard to make it a place where people will want to go to relax and to enjoy the outdoors. OOMPD offers Gallia County and our surrounding areas many outdoor recreational opportunities and now, thanks to the NEG, people can enjoy the park even more.” The NEG participants finished cleaning up debris in the stretch of Raccoon Creek that goes through the OOMPD a few weeks ago. The OOMPD is a 700acre park that is open to the public. The park offers six shelter houses that can be used for family gatherings, parties or reunions, several miles of hiking trails, a scenic bike trail around the park, soccer and softball fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas and the beautiful Raccoon Creek to canoe or kayak. This is a wonderful time of year to get out and enjoy the outdoors, so if you want to see the work that NEG is doing to make Gallia County beautiful, go to the OOMPD for the day to discover this Gallia County treasure for yourself. Whatever you do, be sure to enjoy nature by taking only memories and pictures. Also, don’t forget to show the utmost respect for nature by not disturbing the habitat by littering or removing living things from their natural place.

Meth From Page A1 Also reportedly discovered at the home were several “precursor” ingredients commonly used in the production of the drug, including sulfuric acid, sodium chloride, a lithium battery and pseudoephedrine. Marcum and Fitzpatrick were both later indicted on identical charges of illegally manufacturing methamphetamine and pleaded not guilty to the charge in their respective arraignment hearings before Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans in February. Marcum, who was released from the Gallia County Jail on a $5,000, 10 percent bond following her arraignment hearing, maintained her innocence throughout legal proceedings in this case, appearing for a jury trial in mid-June. Following nearly two days of testimony, Marcum was found guilty of the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine — an offense committed in the vicinity of juveniles — on June 11 after a jury deliberated for approximately an hour and half. She was subsequently sentenced to a 10-year prison term. Fitzpatrick, who remained in the Gallia County Jail following his arrest on January 31, was released on a $10,000, 10 percent bond posted by Marcum on March 28.

Despite a subsequent motion filed and signed by both the prosecution and defense counsel on May 31 — a request to lift the warrant as the defendant had been in contact with his attorney — the warrant for Fitzpatrick’s arrest remained active until his arrest on June 24 by a trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol. His bond was subsequently revoked by the court and was set at $100,000, 10 percent. A proposed guilty plea was later filed in this case in mid-July and during a plea and sentencing hearing on July 24, Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty to the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine and was sentenced to a mandatory four years in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. He was given jail time credit in the amount of 88 days, along with future custody days awaiting transportation to a state prison. Fitzpatrick’s operator’s license was also suspended for a period of six months and he was ordered to pay a mandatory fine of $10,000 and pay the costs of prosecution. Marcum, who was also ordered to pay a fine in the amount of $10,000 in relation to her case, was given credit for 17 days served. She is currently incarcerated in the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville, Ohio, and according to documents filed with the Gallia County Clerk of Courts, an appeal in this case has been filed with the Fourth District Court of Appeals. �Sunday, July 28, 2013 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D �2==:2î�@ î�@>>F?:EJî�2=6?52C Events Thursday, August 1 GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Farmers’ Market, 3-7 p.m., behind the Medical Shoppe on Jackson Pike next to the Gallia County Fairgrounds.

Police arrest Spain train crash driver as suspect kilometers (2.5 miles) before reaching a dangerous bend that train drivers had been told to respect. “Four kilometers before the accident happened he already had warnings that he had to begin slowing his speed, because as soon as he exits the tunnel he needs to be traveling at 80 kilometers per hour,” Ferre said. At the scene, hundreds of onlookers watched as crews used a crane Friday to hoist smashed and burned-up cars onto flat-bed trucks to cart them away. The shattered front engine had been tipped back upright but remained resting beside the tracks, just yards (meters) from the passage of resumed train traffic. Grieving families gathered for funerals near the site of the crash in Santiago de Compostela, a site of Catholic pilgrimage that had been preparing to celebrate its most revered saint, James, but those annual festivities were canceled Thursday. Police lowered the death toll Friday to 78 as forensic scientists matched body parts. They previously had identified 80 dead. Amo was officially arrested Thursday night in the hospital. Photographs indicated he suffered a head wound in the crash. Jaime Iglesias, police chief of Spain’s northwest Galicia region, said Amo would be questioned “as a suspect for a crime linked to the cause of the accident.” When asked, Iglesias described Amo’s alleged offense as “recklessness.” He declined to elaborate. The driver is being guarded by police and has yet to be interviewed. That might be delayed because of his medical treatment, Iglesias said. Renfe said Amo is a 30year employee of the state train company, who became an assistant driver in 2000 and a fully qualified driver in 2003.

Celebrating 65 years. 60432223 SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain (AP) — Spanish police said Friday they have arrested the driver of the train that sped through a curve and toppled over, killing 78 people, and plan to question him over suspected reckless driving. As blame increasingly fell on the still-hospitalized driver over Spain’s deadliest railway crash in decades, authorities located the train’s so-called “black box” that is expected to shed further light on the disaster’s cause. Investigators said they would seek evidence of failings by Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, the 52-yearold driver, as well as the train’s internal speedregulation systems in the Wednesday derailment. The chief of the train operator, Renfe, defended the driver Friday, lauding what it called his exhaustive experience. But the country’s railway agency, Adif, noted that the driver should have started slowing the train long before reaching the disastrous turn. In an interview with The Associated Press, an American passenger injured on the train said he saw on a TV monitor screen inside his car that the train was traveling 194 kph (121 mph) seconds before the crash — far above the 80 kph (50 mph) speed limit on the curve where it derailed. The passenger, 18-year-old Stephen Ward, said the train appeared to have accelerated, not decelerated.

I emphasize “local” because the newspaper captures local events (not just repeat of world news) like no other media. The newspaper never loses the local connection.

Over the course of the last few months, and this last weekend in particular, a large group of local individuals set a sterling example concerning the power of volunteerism by donating their time and effort to an event known as the Hoops Project. The event was a 3- on-3 basketball tournament held on First Avenue that attracted 65 teams from Gallia County and points far beyond. The goals of the Hoop Project were to promote the Gallipolis Downtown Area, provide a family friendly event for everyone to enjoy and to increase awareness of the Digital River Project. To suggest they succeeded on all fronts would be an epic understatement. The Staff, Management and Owners of Courtside [Bar and Grill] would like to thank all those responsible for taking an idea and turning it into an ex- tremely well run event that was enjoyed by everyone who attended. In spite of challenging weather conditions, players who played in age brackets ranging from small children to adults were treated to a world-class tournament and a festival-like atmosphere that provided many activities off the courts for both big and little people to enjoy. Most importantly, this group of volunteers achieved their goals and quite effectively showcased the beauty of the Gallipolis downtown area. Having had the opportunity to talk with many who were in attendance, we can confirm, without question, that your efforts were both appreciated and enjoyed. Thanks again to the Board of Directors of the Digital River Project, the organizers of the Digital Hoop Project and to the many volunteers who donated time and effort. When it comes to setting an example for selflessness in doing the right things for the right reasons, you have set the bar very high. Your influence on this community is acknowledged and appreciated.

His “pivot” will be for naught, however, as long as he continues to ignore two important points: first, government is a major squanderer of scarce resources, and second, its regulations are impediments to saving and investment. We live in a world of scarcity. At any given time our ends outnumber the means to achieve them. Hence we economize so that we can achieve as many of our ends as possible. Resources, labor, and time devoted to one purpose can’t also be used for other purposes, and the alternative forgone is the true cost of any action. We individually choose among competing ends after assessing the trade-offs, because we don’t want inadvertently to give up something we prefer in exchange for something we don’t value as much. The marketplace, when it’s free of government privilege and regulation, lets us accomplish this to a remarkable degree. In doing so, it raises our living standards and creates an orderly environment, thanks to the price system, which coordinates and facilitates our plans. Government throws this process out of whack. When politicians forcibly extract resources from us (through taxation) and borrow, they leave us less with which we can improve our lives through entrepreneurship, business formation, and the like. But, you may ask, aren’t the politicians’ projects worthwhile? Actually, many government projects are of zero value or worse. The costly global empire is beyond useless: it endangers us. Other projects might be useful, but — and this is key — we can’t be sure, because they are not subject to the market test. If a private entrepreneur acquires resources in a quest for profit, she must create value for consumers or she will fail. The market’s profitand-loss test will see to that. That test is administered by countless millions of consumers who are free to take or leave what the entrepreneur offers. This test is relayed back to the investors who lend money to entrepreneurs for productive ventures. They know that if the entrepreneur fails, they will also suffer losses. So they must scrutinize projects in terms of their potential, ultimately, to please free consumers. The upshot is that consumers’ uncoerced actions signal (through prices and profit/loss) what pleases them and what does not. Suppliers must pay heed or face bankruptcy. This explains why markets, when not burdened by government privileges and arbitrary rules, work so well to raise living standards. Note how government projects differ essentially from market projects. Politicians and bureaucrats obtain their money through force, not consensual mutual exchange. (What happens if you tell the IRS you don’t want to purchase its “services”?) Even the money obtained through voluntary loans is expected to be repaid with the taxpayers’ money. It’s taxation all the way down. Moreover, government “services” are not offered in a competitive market where consumers are free to take them or leave them. Since we’re forced to pay a monopoly provider regardless of whether we want the “services,” at the point of delivery they appear to be free. You can’t opt out of paying for “free public schools” even if you don’t want to use them. Everyone pays into Social Security, a (meager) pension plan, under threat of force. In other words, government services are not true services in the market sense because they face no market test from consumers free to withhold their money without penalty. The market test assures that bad trade-offs are avoided, or at least quickly corrected if they are made. If steel is being used to make one product when consumers are demanding something else, the competitive entrepreneurial process sees to it that steel will be redirected. No corresponding process exists in the political realm. It contains no incentives to look out for the consumers’ welfare. Instead, we have political theater and value destruction. This would be bad enough, but it’s actually worse. What government does with the stolen resources typically makes it harder for us to use the remaining resources productively. Uncertainty about future taxation and regulation, for example, increases the risk of investment and hence reduces it. An indispensable prerequisite of economic well-being is humility on the part of politicians. How about it, President Obama? Sheldon Richman is vice president and editor at The Future of Freedom Foundation in Fairfax, Va. (www.fff.org). Low minimum wage undermines economy Jon Cooper As a business owner who runs a manufacturing company with 150 employees, I strongly support increasing the federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at just $7.25 an hour since July 24, 2009. It will provide concrete benefits to businesses and will strengthen our overall economy. Fair wages are part of the formula for success at my company, Spectronics Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of ultraviolet equipment and fluorescent materials. Raising the minimum wage will help America succeed as well. Consumer spending drives about 70 percent of our nation’s economy. And wages drive consumer spending. The single biggest problem faced by small businesses today is weak consumer demand. Increasing the minimum wage is a great way to spur economic growth by jump-starting consumer spending. It will allow workers to buy essentials they can’t afford now, and most of the money they spend will go right back into local businesses. That’s also good for our tax base. A higher minimum wage will also result in lower employee turnover. Turnover costs money, and reducing turnover means lower costs for hiring and training new workers. In addition, higher wages bring increased productivity. Employers who invest in their workforce have employees who are more invested in the company and in satisfying its customers. At my company, nearly 71 percent of employees have been with us for over ten years. Compare that to low-paying chains with continual turnover or the local retail store where one of my daughters worked for a year. She and many of her co-workers were paid minimum wage, and she saw that the biggest problem they faced was high turnover.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A University of Pittsburgh medical researcher charged with fatally poisoning his neurologist wife with cyanide will face an extradition hearing next week in West Virginia. Dr. Robert Ferrante, 64, was jailed without bond after his arrest Thursday night in Beckley, W.Va. State police stopped him there after Pittsburgh police had flown flew to St. Augustine, Fla., to arrest him, only to learn he had already left. Authorities haven’t said why Ferrante was in Florida. Defense attorney William Difenderfer said Ferrante wasn’t fleeing police and was simply stopped while driving back to Pennsylvania to surrender on a criminal homicide charge. Allegheny County prosecutors accused Difenderfer of tipping off Ferrante so he could avoid arrest. But Difenderfer said he simply contacted Ferrante at dawn Thursday and told him to surrender in Pittsburgh once the attorney learned police had an arrest warrant for Ferrante. Through Difenderfer, Ferrante has denied poisoning 41-year-old Dr. Autumn Klein in April. Kristen Keller, the prosecuting attorney in Raleigh County, W.Va., said Ferrante is due in court there on Monday afternoon.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The man who imprisoned three women in his home, subjecting them to a decade of rapes and beatings, pleaded guilty Friday to 937 counts in a deal to avoid the death penalty. Ariel Castro told the judge he was addicted pornography, had a “sexual problem” and had been a sexual abuse victim himself long ago. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors recommended Castro be sentenced to life without parole plus 1,000 years. Castro, 53, said he understood that he would never get out of prison, saying he expected he was “going to get the book thrown at me.” He later added, “I knew that when I first spoke to the FBI agent when I first got arrested.” Castro, wearing glasses for the first time in court, was far more interactive than in previous court appearances when he mostly kept his head down and eyes closed. He answered the judge’s questions in a clear, intelligible voice, saying he understood the proceedings and that he would never be released from prison. Castro, who was born in Puerto Rico, said he could read and understand English well but had trouble with comprehension. “My addiction to pornography and my sexual problem has really taken a toll on my mind.” He later said he had been a sexual abuse victim as a child, but the judge cut him off. Near the end of the 2 1/2-hour hearing, the judge accepted the pleas and declared Castro guilty. Sentencing was set for Thursday. The deal comes more than a month after a statement issued on behalf of the women said they were “hopeful for a just and prompt resolution” and had “great faith in the prosecutor’s office and the court.” Castro had been scheduled for trial Aug. 5 on a 977-count indictment, but 40 counts were dropped as part of the plea deal. The indictment included two counts of aggravated murder related to accusations that he punched and starved one woman until she miscarried. The former school bus driver also was charged with hundreds of counts of kidnapping and rape, plus assault and other counts. He was accused of repeatedly restraining the women, sometimes chaining them to a pole in a basement, to a bedroom heater or inside a van. The charges alleged Cas- tro assaulted one woman with a vacuum cord around her neck when she tried to escape. The sticking point on a plea deal had been whether the prosecutor would rule out the death penalty. Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Blaise Thomas said he wants to make sure Castro will never see the girl he fathered with one of his victims. Chief Prosecutor Tim McGinty also says the county will use over $20,000 seized from Castro to tear down his house within a month. McGinty said the plan is to also tear down two abandoned houses next door and acquire a vacant lot for a park. McGinty rejected attempts by Castro to portray himself a victim of a sex addiction. “He’s a coward and he’s nowhere near the truth,” McGinty said. “He’s in his own world and it’s not a world of regret and remorse. He feels sorry for one person and one person only — himself.” The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Each said they had accepted a ride from Castro, who remained friends with the family of one of the women and even attended vigils over the years marking her disappearance. The women escaped Castro’s house May 6 when one of them kicked out part of a door and called to neighbors for help. Castro was arrested within hours and has remained behind bars. News that Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight had been found alive electrified the Cleveland area, where two of them were household names after years of searches, publicity and vigils. But elation soon turned to shock as allegations about their treatment began to emerge. Castro fathered a 6-year-old daughter with Berry, authorities said. They allege that on the day the child was born, Christmas 2006, Castro raped one of the other women, who had helped deliver the baby. Berry told authorities that she, her child and the other women never saw a doctor during their captivity. Knight said her five pregnancies ended after Castro starved and repeatedly punched her. The Associated Press does not usually identify people who may be victims of sexual assault, but the names of the three women were widely circulated after they disappeared, and they appeared in an online video thanking the public for its support. The judge read their names in court Friday as the hearing was carried live on national cable news. Since their rescue, the women have sought to stay out of sight and have appealed for privacy.

Answers depend on question...B2 A fresh look at a smelly subject: road kill Jim Freeman In The Open Running or bicycling along the roads here in southeastern Ohio it is obvious that, for much of our wildlife, our highways are actually die-ways. In fact, I wish I had a dollar for every bird or snake I have found flattened along the road. I would be a wealthy man, and if nothing else my running and bike would at least pay for itself. While hitting a deer or larger animal is no fun for motorists, our smaller critters like box turtles, birds and small mammals fare poorly against automobiles and trucks, which is something wildlife lovers have been bemoaning for approximately the past 100 years. For drivers, roadkill is mainly a smelly nuisance, but for wildlife biologists roadkill represents an opportunity for research. That’s because highways don’t move around a lot and offer a consistent source of fresh test subjects, at least for abundant species. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife began conducting roadkill surveys in March, April, July and August for furbearers and small game populations in 1979. These surveys allowed the division to monitor changes in population size, which also influenced harvest recommendations. Those earlier surveys encompassed a wider range of species including raccoons, muskrats, foxes, opossums, striped skunks, mink, woodchucks, cottontail rabbits and tree squirrels, but in 2003 the surveys were limited to spring and to four species: raccoons, opossums, skunks and woodchucks. There are 49 40-mile survey routes throughout the state that are driven three times during March and again in April providing at least seven days between surveys. Researchers slowly cruise the routes in the morning carefully keeping a tally of all the freshly flattened raccoons, squished opossums, smelly skunks and ground ‘chucks they find. While it might seem distasteful, the results are calculated into a roadkill rate (number of roadkills per 1,000 miles) in four regions (lake plain, till plain, glaciated and unglaciated) as well as a statewide average, then the results are compared to past years’ results to help determine population trends for the four species. In the event that you are keeping score, this spring a motorist driving 1,000 miles in Ohio could reasonably expect to find 33 raccoons, 41.5 opossums, 14.5 skunks and 7.7 woodchucks splatted along our highways. Based on this research and compared to previous years, raccoons have exhibited an increasing trend in all regions of the See ROAD KILL | B2 Chip Wood | submitted photo Elicia Wood of Point Pleasant prepares to make a throw in the shot put event of the triathlon in the 9-10 year old division at the 2013 USA Track and Field Junior Olympic championships.

Fifth Kiwanis Juniors tournament completed Staff Report GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The fifth annual Kiwanis Juniors golf tournament was held on Thursday, July 11, at Cliffside Golf Club in Gallia County. Excellent golf was again on display from numerous kids ranging from ages seven to 18 on a soggy course from recent rains. Prior to the start of play, tournament co-founder Charles ‘Foxy’ Grant was honored and a Kiwanis Juniors at Cliffside golf towel was presented to his wife Gladys. Kiwanis International is about kids, and the Kiwanis Club of Gallipolis came on board as the title sponsor of this event in 2009. Many kids have found enjoyment in this annual event, thanks to Kiwanis and many other fine sponsors. In the 10-and-under age group, seven-year old Cameron Phillips of Portsmouth fired a 39 from the 100-, 150- and 200yard tee boxes, depending on par (3-5) for the hole. Eight-year old Leith Hamid of Gallipolis was the runner-up with a 45, while Caden McComas of Ona finished third with a 47. Hitting off the red tees, Jasiah Brewer came away with top honors in the 11-12 year old division after firing a 52. Brewer had twice finished second and placed third once in previous Kiwanis tournaments. Hitting from the blue tees, Dares Hamid of Gallipolis won the 13-15 division with an 80 over 18 holes. It was the fourth championship for Hamid over the last five years at this event. Logan Sheets of Bidwell was second with an 88. The featured event of the day was the 16-18 division, which saw a familiar face in the winner’s circle. Rob Canady capped his Kiwanis career with a 76, giving him a three-stroke victory over the field. Canady has won three titles in four tries at Kiwanis and also owns the low-score rounds in both the 13-15 division (74) and the 16-18 division (73). Drew Oxley of Chesapeake was second with a 79, while Gus Slone placed third in the division. Oxley previously won the 2011 title in the 13-15 division.

CHICAGO (AP) — Nebraska has won at least nine games in each of the last five seasons. Only Alabama, Boise State and Oregon can say the same. The Cornhuskers have won four AP national championships. Their honor roll includes three Heisman Trophy winners. They play in front of packed houses every week, often on national television. So coach Bo Pelini isn’t too fond of those questions about the Big Ten versus the Southeastern Conference. “I guarantee there are a lot of teams in the SEC that aren’t Alabama that wish they were Nebraska, that wish they were Michigan, wish they were Ohio State,” Pelini said Thursday at Big Ten media days, “so don’t talk to me about the SEC. Talk to me about, let’s compare specific programs. “The whole SEC isn’t Alabama, isn’t LSU and isn’t Georgia. Every year is different.” Like it or not, right now the comparison point for the major college football conferences is the powerful SEC, and the business is quite good in the home of Nick Saban, Les Miles and Mark Richt. The Crimson Tide trounced Notre Dame 42-14 in the BCS championship last January, earning the SEC’s seventh consecu- tive national title. Newcomer Texas A&M (Cotton), South Carolina (Outback), Georgia (Capital One) and Mississippi (BBVA Compass) helped the SEC to a 6-3 bowl record, the highest win total for any conference. The SEC won two of its three bowl matchups against the Big Ten, with the lone loss going to Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl against — gasp — Northwestern. The improving Wildcats, once one of the Big Ten’s worst programs, beat the Bulldogs 34-20 for their first bowl victory since 1949 and one of two for the conference’s seven bowl teams. Looking back a bit further, the strength of the SEC compared to the Big Ten is a more slight advantage. The SEC is 21-16 against the Big Ten since 2003, according to STATS. “There’s definitely some programs that stand out in the SEC. There’s definitely some programs that stand out in the Big Ten,” said Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, who threw for 76 yards and rushed for 74 in the bowl win. “It’s hard to compare conference to conference but we have a lot of tradition. We’ve done a lot of good things academically and athletically, so that’s some- thing to be proud of.” It’s crystal clear which conference is the NFL’s favorite. The SEC produced an astounding 63 selections in the April draft, more than double the next highest total of 31 for the ACC. The Big Ten had 22 selections. So on the eve of the 2013 season, it looks as if everyone is looking up at the SEC. And Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz has an idea why. “We’ve had fast guys in our conference. We’ve had a lot of skill players get drafted throughout the years,” he said. “But if you just study recruiting, I mean I think of the population swing right now to California, the South, warm weather states. “There’s differences, and there’s a lot of ways to be effective and to be successful and you have to figure out what’s best for you at your school or conference and then just try to maximize it.” While high school football is strong in the South, some of the traditional recruiting corridors for the Big Ten aren’t what they used to be. “When you go out and recruit now, I remember northeast Ohio, Western PA, still great football, fantastic football, but a perfect example (is) where I’m from,” said Urban Meyer, Kyle Robertson | Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer and Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (5) celebrate a 17-16 win over Michigan State Spartans, while singing Carmen Ohio, at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan, Saturday, September 29, 2012. dried up a little bit,” he said. Meyer and the Buckeyes could have the best chance this year of ending the SEC’s run of national championships. Quarterback Braxton Miller leads a strong group of returning players on offense, and the defense also should be solid.

Contrariwise, woodchucks are showing a decline in numbers, which may be attributed to increased pest control and to the arrival and subsequent increase of coyotes in Ohio. Incidentally this backs up my casual observations and observations from others that woodchucks are being found in fewer numbers. The study of roadkill doesn’t stop with the little animals. Roadkill in larger species such as whitetail deer help researchers conduct fetal surveys and search for diseases like chronic wasting disease in the herd, or to help monitor the spread of Ohio’s endangered wildlife like bobcats or black bears. Coupled with other surveys, like the annual bowhunter survey, counting roadkill helps complete the picture of the status of Ohio’s wildlife.

Green has a bruised knee, forcing him to miss several days of practice. Green hurt his left knee near the end of Cincinnati’s first training camp practice on Thursday, twisting his leg as he planted to try to make a sideline catch. Green said an MRI that found no structural damage. At first, he feared that it was a significant injury. A trainer examined the knee, and Green got up and walked off the field. “It was (frightening) for me,” Green said. “I felt it, but everything felt intact. I got up and walked off, so it’s fine.” Coach Marvin Lewis said Green will miss at least the weekend practices, when the Bengals put on pads for the first time. Lewis said Green suffered a bruise inside the knee. Cornerback Terence Newman was covering Green on a deep pass along the sideline that drifted out of bounds. Newman gave Green a light push as he tried to get away from him. Green planted his left foot awkwardly, hurting his knee. “I saw that the ball was going to sail out of bounds so I tried to pull up and just go behind him,” Newman said. “But he’s the type of receiver that tries to make every single catch possible. So I just kept on running and I came back and saw him on the ground. I didn’t know what happened to him. “It was a scary moment, for sure. That’s one of those guys that if he threw up on the sideline, I’m nervous. Now I’m seeing him grab his knee, so I’m really nervous. Sounds like he’s going to be good, though, so that was a breath of fresh air.” Players stopped and watched Green get his knee examined on the sideline. “It’s awful no matter who it is,” offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. “When it’s A.J., it kind of takes the wind out of everybody. It was silent there for a few seconds.” Green said he won’t change his all-out style in practice. “That’s how I’m programmed,” he said. “That’s what I know.” The River Valley football program recently completed its 2013 Youth Football Camp that was held at RVHS in Bidwell. The young campers received instruction from the Raiders coaching staff, who put the boys through several stations of learning techniques and fundamentals essential to the game. Close to 40 campers took part in the event, and each participant received a t-shirt for attending the camp.

The Ohio race was the first for NASCAR on a dirt track since Sept. 30 1970. Some drivers in Indianapolis for this weekend’s Brickyard race were talking Friday about a possible Sprint Cup se- ries race at the track — someday. Clint Bowyer, who is second in the Sprint Cup Series standings, was part of the broadcast of Wednesday night’s event on Speed TV. A part of him wanted to be in Eldora racing. “Basically, I was stuck in a cage in there in the Hollywood Hotel with my world racing out there and it was really hard to sit there and watch,” he said. “I thought the racing was good. Everybody was thinking, ‘Man, why is the track so dry-slick?’ It led to good racing.” Jeff Gordon watched every minute of it, too. Dale Earnhardt Jr. tried. He was on his way to New York and didn’t get to see the finish.

He’s still got that cannon right arm, the one that made the New York Yankees draft him and enabled him to throw 75 touchdown passes at Oklahoma State. Outwardly, Brandon Weeden looks the same. But he’s no longer a wide-eyed NFL rookie. And as Weeden enters his second pro season, he’s got experience, an offense catered to his strengths and a brand new outlook. Cleveland’s quarterback says he’s a changed man. “I feel like a completely different player,” he said. The Browns have their fingers crossed that Weeden, who was both efficient and erratic last season, can develop into the long-term starter he was projected to be when the club selected the 29-yearold with the No. 22 overall pick in 2012. Weeden showed signs of being that guy last year, just not enough of them. He passed for 3,385 yards — a franchise rookie record — with 14 touchdowns, but there were too many moments when the game seemed to be moving much faster than Weeden, who may have been unfairly judged as part of an elite rookie QB class headlined by Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson and Ryan Tannehill. Weeden was held to a standard he wasn’t quite ready to reach. However, Weeden believes he grew from last year and is eager to show the Browns — and prove to some skeptical Cleveland fans — that he’s ready to take a major step forward. “It’s knowing what to expect,” Weeden said earlier this week. “I didn’t know anyone in the locker room (last year). I didn’t know the routine. There are just so many unknowns. Now I’ve been in it for a year, and I know how the weekly routine goes, and I’ve got myself into a routine.” Weeden seems to have the backing of Cleveland’s new coaching staff and an overhauled front office that didn’t draft him. Although first-year coach Rob Chudzinski has not yet named Weeden his starter, the rifle-armed QB opened training camp with a leg up on Jason Campbell and Brian Hoyer, two experienced veterans who give the Browns quality depth in case Weeden falls on his face. So far, he’s standing tall. It’s his starting job to lose. The Browns have been impressed with the way Weeden immersed himself into learning Chudzinski’s complex offense, which should better allow him to spread the ball around the field to his receivers. There was a perception last season that Weeden, who played four seasons of minor league baseball before going to college, wasn’t a great student or hard worker. But that hasn’t been an issue whatsoever as Weeden has shown a strong desire to improve and to lead. The Browns have spent months evaluating Weeden, and to this point, he’s passed every test. “He has worked real hard and he’s done everything that they’ve asked him to do,” CEO Joe Banner said. “He’s got obviously a lot more work, but he’s gotten in here and he’s gotten a chance to progress on the mental aspect of the position, so I think everyone is encouraged on how hard he’s working and how bad it seems he wants to do well.” Weeden’s first day of training camp didn’t start so well. He looked tentative on some early passes, forcing the ball into tight spots — one of his issues last year. But he settled in, and before long, Weeden was threading completions all over the field, hooking up on long passes to wide receivers Greg Little, Davone Bess and Josh Gordon. “I’m going to go out there with confidence,” he said. “I’m not going to be timid. I’m going to go out there and play hard and leave it on the line and take the chances I did and always have. I’m going to throw the ball and throw the ball in tight windows and trust my arm. It’s hard to play this position when you are aiming throws and second-guessing throws. You have to play aggressive and be aggressive at all times.” The change in Weeden has been noticeable to his teammates. “Brandon’s a workhorse,” running back Trent Richardson said. “I had no problem with Brandon last year and I have no problem with him this year. All the guys are comfortable with him. He’s trusting us. He’s trusting himself. He’s making throws. He’s making corrections, and that first year was our first year. We put that behind us. We’re not going to look back at that. “This year’s a whole other year. Brandon, man, he’s fresh. He’s ready to go. He’s got that arm going and he’s bat- Brandon Weeden tling at the same time.” Norv Turner agrees. Cleveland’s new offensive coordinator, who has a proven track record of developing young QBs, has been impressed by Weeden’s growth and sees his potential. Turner reeled off a list of quarterbacks — Jim Everett, Gus Frerotte, Trent Green, Brad Johnson — who blossomed under his tutelage and he feels Weeden may one day be added to that list. Turner said Weeden’s ability to make a big leap in his second year depends on a variety of factors. “It’s totally based on No. 1, the guy, and then the situation he was in,” Turner said, “and so many people get caught up in where a guy is. A lot of it depends on the situation he’s put in, the offensive line, the playmakers around him, how good a defensive football team you have. There’s so many things that go into it. But I think Brandon is fortunate, he’s had the experience of starting 15 games in this league, that’s a plus when you start working with a player who hasn’t played a lot. And then I think he’s taken to what we’re doing. “I expect him to play at a high level.” -$��îC@@<:6Dî=:ñîG:6H6CD9:A�î2EE6?52?46�îD2=6D NEW YORK (AP) — Midway through their first WNBA season, Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins are already leaving their mark. And not only on the court. They are helping the league boost viewership, attendance and merchandise sales. “I think we’ve seen that they’ve had an impact on the game and the league,” WNBA President Laurel Richie said. Television household ratings have doubled on ESPN2 as compared with last season. The three rookies were all featured in a Memorial Day doubleheader to start the season, and the game pitting Griner against Delle Donne drew the league’s highest regular-season ratings in nine years. “A lot of people are tuning in and watching our games and coming to our games,” Griner said. “When I go into a sports bar some of the people I wouldn’t think would watch women’s basketball are there watching. … There’s definitely more awareness.” That awareness is carrying over to stores. There’s been a 60426323 huge upswing in sales of merchandise this season, with Chicago, Phoenix and Tulsa leading the way. The Shock are No. 1 in the league in sales at the WNBA online store in no small part due to Diggins despite not being able to buy her signature headbands there. To no surprise, the three rookies are the league’s top selling jerseys, with Griner No. 1. The 6-foot-8 Phoenix Mercury star was used to seeing fans wear her No. 42 — in honor of Jackie Robinson — in college at Baylor. But, in keeping with NCAA rules, her name wasn’t on them. Now that she’s a pro, she looks in the stands and sees young girls wearing jerseys with her name on the back. 60432165 �Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, JULY 28, 2013 ALONG THE RIVER C1 Chester Shade Day Festival honors tradition Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com CHESTER — Despite the rainy weather on Saturday afternoon, dozens turned out for the annual Chester Shade Day festival. The event featured something for all ages, with games, contests and competitions, foods and history.

Each program has its own unique theme, including “The County Fair”, “Mother’s Day”, and “Springtime and Planting”, to name a few. Each month, the Bossard Library Bi-Folkal team visits five area facilities including Abbyshire Place, Holzer Assisted Living, Holzer Senior Care, Senior Resource Center, and Arbors to present this special programming.

Excessive barking when he was left alone in the yard earned the terrier mix his return trip in 2000. But he was soon re-adopted by Robin Robertson Starr, the chief executive officer of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whose family loved him unconditionally and never left him alone again. “He is one of the most beloved pets of my whole life, my dog that I adore with all of my heart,” Starr said of the 16-year-old pooch. Many shelter workers do all they can to find the right fit the first time. They use sleepovers, “Meet Your Match” surveys, satisfaction guarantees, foster programs and TV spotlights on pets. Despite a rigorous approval process, there will always be bad matches. And sometimes, that works out just fine. The average shelter gets about 10 percent of its adoptees back, according to the SPCA. Shelter workers don’t want owners or pets to suffer from a mismatch and with fewer shelters killing unwanted animals, it’s easier on the conscience to return a pet that doesn’t work out. People return pets for a wide variety of legitimate reasons— including allergies, loss of a job, a death in the family — and plenty of questionable ones. There was the beagle that sniffed grass too hard, the dog who loved too much and the pooch who didn’t match the sofa. “We do have some wacky reasons because there are a number of wacky people out there, but the vast majority of people are very sincere and committed about adoptions,” Starr said. A few months ago, Leah Morgan and her family, including 4-year-old black Lab mix Olive, spent time at Wayside Waifs in Grandview, Mo., before deciding to adopt a 9-month-old mutt named Bloo. The shelter said the previous owners could not afford him, but other problems surfaced once they got him home. Bloo destroyed the blinds, the carpet, chewed through the wood trim, and shredded his ball and other toys into confetti. When put in a kennel, he urinated and acted out. He growled at everyone in the house, including her 8- and 13-year-old children. “I was on edge, constantly worried that he would bite somebody,” said Morgan, who owns a yoga studio. So she took him back. “I felt a little guilty, of course,” she said. “Even after a week, you have an emotional attachment. I think he can be a good dog, I just can’t be the one to make that happen.” “We might feel like we failed,” said Dr. Emily Weiss, vice president of shelter research and development for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “But we appreciate that somebody cared enough to bring them back. We want the experience of living with an animal to be a good one for both parties.” Future owners are told if an animal has been returned and why. Pets returned for behavior or aggression problems might be offered to a rescue organization for rehab, said Jan Selder, director of field operations for Los Angeles Animal Services. If the dog or cat needs socialization, it might be sent to a foster home. But if the problem was not the fault of the animal, such as owner allergies or, say, clashing color schemes, it will immediately be offered for re-adoption. Returns are even fair game on the popular adopt-a-pet segments on local TV in Los Angeles. A kitten named Bridget was adopted July 6 and returned July 10. The family said they didn’t know she would require so much attention. On July 10, Selder took Bridget to KNBC-TV and told her story. The kitty had a new home that afternoon. Every shelter writes its own return policy. While most want them back, some require them back if things don’t work out. Shelters like Hillside SPCA in Pottsville, Pa., extend their policies for life. Pets have been returned after a decade in a loving home because the owner passes away, enters a nursing home or assisted living center, said the shelter’s humane police officer Janine Choplick said. Shelter workers said there was no limit to the number of times they would take an animal back. Sam, an 85-pound blood and basset hound mix with 6-inch legs and serious health problems, was returned six times to the Richmond shelter. Even a basset rescue returned the dog.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The familiar exteriors of astronauts’ space suits often hide all of the ingenuity and mechanics that are built inside the suits, which were first imagined as “wearable spacecraft.” Now a new art exhibit, “Suited for Space,” opening Friday at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, highlights the creativity behind the suits that allowed humans to explore the moon and aspire to fly farther from Earth. X-ray images and photographs show the suits in intricate detail, said space history curator Cathleen Lewis. The museum’s X-rays are the first such images ever created to study, conserve and research the nation’s space suits. “You don’t realize what a complex machine these are,” Lewis said. But the X-rays of Alan Shepard’s Apollo space suit and a 1960s prototype “allow visitors to see beyond what is visible to the naked eye, through the protective layers of the suit to see the substructures that are embedded inside.” The exhibition traces the evolution of the space suit from the early high-altitude test flight suits of the 1930s to the dawn of the space age with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle missions. While technology drove much of the suit design to maintain an airtight barrier to the vacuum of space and to protect from solar radiation, fashion aesthetics of the time also played a role, Lewis said. The original Mer- cury seven astronaut suits were unique from all others with a silvery coating to introduce America’s space explorers to the world. “NASA had a demand to create the astronauts into a whole new corps, a non-military corps. So here was an opportunity to dress them in a new uniform … that evokes sensibilities of that Buck Rogers imagination,” she said. “All of these guys, the engineers, they grew up on science fiction. They fed it with their ideas, and they were consumers of it at the same time.” Curators are working to find ways to preserve space suits because some materials are decomposing, discoloring or becoming rigid some 50 years after they were created. The space suit show is travel- ing to 10 cities through 2015, moving next to Tampa, Fla., Philadelphia and Seattle. Two companion exhibits at the National Air and Space Museum also highlight 50 artworks of about 550 new items added to the Smithsonian’s growing space art collection over the past decade. They include portraits of astronomer Carl Sagan and astrophysicist Neal deGrasse Tyson, and a photograph of first female shuttle commander Eileen Collins by photographer Annie Leibovitz. The museum’s art collection includes 7,000 paintings, drawings, prints, posters and sculptures. Curators have been working to add more contemporary and conceptual art over the past 10 years. Albert Watson, a photographer known for his portraits of celebrities, such as Steve Jobs, and of fashion, took a break in 1990 to photograph space suits and other artifacts. More recently, he donated two large-scale photographs of an Apollo glove and boot to the museum. Watson said he was captivated by the thought of suits that traveled in space and came back covered with moon dust. “When you deal with celebrities every day or super models every day and fashion people every day, there is always a nice escape to go into still life,” he said. “As a child, I loved science fiction. I always remember arguing with my father about rocket ships. He said man will never go into space, he said, because what goes up must come down.” �Sunday, 28, 28, 2013 SUNDAYJuly , JULY 2013 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS Sunday Times Sentinel Lî� 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, July 29, 2013: This year you might feel conflicted about your choices. A situation involving a roommate or family member often leaves you feeling insecure. It is good to evaluate but not undermine yourself. You have good judgment. If you are single, you have a natural magnetism that mixes well with the fun personality of a Leo, and you will have many admirers as a result. Choosing the right person could take time. If you are attached, you have many different areas where you differ from your significant other. Don’t argue — just understand that you are different and respect your differences. TAURUS can be loyal but stubborn. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to clarify what is happening financially with a partner or close friend. You could feel stressed out by what you see and/ or hear, but you will be able to move forward because of a general sense of well-being. Others appreciate your actions. Tonight: Your treat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The summer often carries a lot of tension for you. Right now, you could feel forced in a certain direction. Your friends or someone close to you will prove to be a very positive force. This person supports you in your ventures and your attitude about living. Tonight: As you like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot on your mind, yet you might not be sure of your choices. A wise investment could come through for you. A partner won’t be supportive of your needs. In fact, this person might toss what you ask for right back in your face. Tonight: Choose your company with care. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are more upbeat than you have been in a while. During a meeting, you’ll wonder why everyone is being so positive. You see a situation in a different light than many. It would be wise to share your vision and explain your rationale step by step. Tonight: Where people are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take a stand, if you must. You could feel pressured by a commitment involving business or your community. You also might feel burdened by domestic matters that require your fulltime attention. Trust that your instincts will be right on. Follow them. Tonight: Till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll want to understand all aspects of an issue, as well as what the different parties involved think about it. A meeting will prove enlightening, and it could help direct you toward the appropriate path. One person could be defensive and difficult. Tonight: Be impulsive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not be sure how to dissolve a group discussion of a topic effectively. Count on your resourcefulness; you will come up with many solutions after the fact. Do not push a partner too hard about an invitation involving the two of you. Tonight: Let off steam by taking a walk. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone feels challenged by you, so be ready to take a stand. It is not an issue of the quality of your work or ideas; rather, this person feeds off making you look foolish. Don’t worry — others see through his or her game. Tonight: Say “yes,” and go along with the program. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be taken aback by someone’s good fortune, which also could impact you. Understand what is expected, and deliver just that. Luck will come to you, as long as you don’t become sarcastic. If you do, you won’t believe what you could trigger. Tonight: Off to the gym. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be juggling a lot, but you can get through it. Tap into your creativity in order to eliminate what is no longer necessary. Your ingenuity could save the day. Be careful with someone whose temper could trigger you over nothing. Tonight: Catch up with a loved one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will find it intuitive and natural to stay close to home. If you have a home-based business, it will be easier. Be careful with electronic devices and machinery, as your mind might be elsewhere, and you could have an accident. Tonight: Adapt to someone else’s mood. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot on your mind. It would be wise to start sharing your thoughts with others, especially when they are relevant to them. You will feel less pressured as a result. A child could be unusually difficult, and a new flirtation might be touchy. Tonight: Pretend it is Friday night.

The night before the group met at Nybble’s Café for an informal gathering. President Gordon Cherrington led the business meeting and a memorial, A Fallen Limb, was presented by Henny Evans in honor of past members. Cherrington gave a presentation of what it would have been like to have lived 86 years ago … his current age. It was an eye opener to many. Historian Henny Evans presented history on the Bruce tribe. Bruce was one of the 16 children who came to Gallia County in 1805. Unlike the other children who stayed here or in nearby Jackson County, Bruce left for Galesburg, Illinois about 1840. Bruce and wife Rachel Haptonstall had 11 children and left many descendants in Illinois. Other branches of the family also moved to Illinois and the families always stayed in touch sometimes attending the Ohio reunions. Evans also shared a letter written in 1862 from Jefferson Cherrington in which he spoke of the tragedy of the Civil War and the widows it was leaving. He also doctored but only his own family and he believed in the benefits of bonsai tea and lots and lots of cold water which he used to cure his son of typhoid fever. Attending from Thomas’ tribe were Margaret Black of Oak Hill, Greg and Kay Irvin, of Jackson; John’s tribe: Roy Weed of St. Augustine, FL and Charles Weed of Ponte Vedra, FL, Renee and David Grooms of Logan; William’s tribe: Melinda Hill of Troy, MI, John Lloyd of Houston, Susan Vogel and Katie Wright of Rock Hill, NC; Susannah’s tribe: Virginia Harder of Vinton, Clement’s tribe: Gordon and Violet Cherrington of Sturgis, MI, Mary Lanier of Vinton, Lynn Knoble of Ada; Bruce’s tribe: Bill Cherrington of San Francisco and Ethel Cherrington of Galesburg; Pennel’s tribe: Beth Cherrington, Henny and Dean Evans, Tom and Tom Moulton, Libby, Molly and Abby Fitzwater, David and Jenny Evans, all of Gallipolis. Guest Ernestine Polsley also was welcomed. Officers elected were Gordon Cherrington, Pres., Don Lindemann and Mel Heritage, Vice Pres., Renee Grooms, Secretary and Henny Evans, Treasurer and Historian. The next reunion will be held the third Sunday in July 2014. All joined hands and sang “Blest Be the Ties that Bind.” #4�F:C6î56D46?52?EDî 82E96Cî7@CîC6F?:@?

In February, Carnival’s ship Triumph was left without power in the Gulf of Mexico after an engine room fire. Thousands of passengers en- dured squalid conditions while the ship was towed to Mobile, Ala. “We really seriously put our guests in an uncomfortable position and that bothers us a great deal,” Carnival Cruise Lines President Gerald Cahill acknowledged during the hearing before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. He said Carnival is working to add more emergency generators to its two dozen ships as well as to install newer sprinkler systems. Adam Goldstein, president of Royal Caribbean International, also testified before the committee. In May, a fire onboard Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas cut short a cruise from Baltimore to the Bahamas. The ship was able to sail under its own power to Freeport. POMEROY — Cathy Cultice Lentes of Middleport recently graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the Solstice Low-Residency Creative Writing Program of Pine Manor College of Chestnut Hills, Ma. Lentes was one of seven students to complete the program and graduate in ceremonies where the 2012 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Walter Dean Myers, a critically acclaimed author of over 100 books for young people, delivered the commencement speech. Lentes who was the class speaker and completed her creative thesis, The Orange Umbrella & Other Stories and Poems which included picture books and poetry for children, delivered a lecture on “The Wild Thing in All of Us: An Morgan Lentes Evolutionary Look at the Power of Story.” A reception was held following the graduation ceremony to honor the students. Pine Manor College emphasizes an inclusive, community-building approach to liberal arts education. The Solstice MFA in Creative Writing reflects the College’s overall mission by creating a supportive, welcoming environment in which writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to take creative risks. Their goal is to instill in students an appreciation for the value of community-building and community service, and see engagement with the literary arts not only as a means to personal fulfill- Cathy Lentes ment but also as an instrument for real cultural change. Lentes has been writing stories and poetry for many years and has been the recipient of many awards for her work. Meanwhile, her daughter, Morgan, 22, graduated this year from Ohio University with a broadcast journalism degree from Scripps School of Journalism and accepted a job reporting at WYMT Mountain News in Hazard, Ky. She was recently named co-anchor of the 6 p.m. news and will be handling that in addition to her regular reporting duties. While at OU, Morgan anchored on WOUB and interned on the Today Show NBC where she assisted reporters and producers. Starting high school later may help sleepy teens NEW YORK (AP) — Quinn Cooney of Mill Creek, Wash., is excited about starting high school in September, but she’s not looking forward to waking up at 5:30 a.m. to arrive on time. Classes for ninthgraders start at 7:30 a.m., 45 minutes earlier than they did in middle school. “I think it is going to be harder to get up,” said Quinn, 13. “I do think it is better to start early so that we can be finished early and do things after school, but I am worried that if I have a boring class for my first period that it will be hard to stay awake.” Decades of sleep research have confirmed what parents know: It’s hard for teenagers to wake up early. Some high schools have adopted late starts around 8:30 a.m. to improve attendance and performance. But other districts say it’s too complicated to shift schedules because of logistics involving buses and after-school activities. About 40 percent of U.S. public high schools open before 8 a.m., according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, with just 15 percent starting 8:30 a.m. or later. In districts where early starts are necessary because the same bus does multiple runs for high school, middle school and elementary students, teens often get the early shift. That’s the case in Anne Arundel County, Md., where public high schools start at 7:17 a.m. and buses start running at 5:50 a.m. Lisa Rodvien taught high school there, in Annapolis, and says attendance at her firstperiod classes was “as low as 50 percent or below.” Among those who showed up, “I would definitely see three or four kids with their heads down. You walk over to them to wake them up and get them to sit up, and you see that they’re exhausted.” Earlier this year, Anne Arundel school officials laid out options for delaying start times to anywhere from 7:32 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. along with potential complications, such as additional costs if buses are added, child care issues where late-day schedules might prevent teens from picking up younger siblings after school, and implications for teams if they end up playing in the dark. Bob Mosier, spokesman for Anne Arundel schools, said no decisions have been made. But the focus on logistics is frustrating for Heather Macintosh, spokeswoman for a national organization called Start School Later that’s headquartered in Annapolis. “What is the priority?” she said. “It should be education, health and safety. All the other stuff may not be perfect — you may have to have your violin lesson before school or install lights on your field (for sports) — but it will work itself out.” Megan Kuhfeld, a graduate student at the University of California-Los Angeles who’s been studying late-start debates since she was an undergrad at Duke University in North Carolina, surveyed some 35 districts that switched to later starts and found most were glad they’d made the switch. Not only did students benefit, for the most part, but “the things people had feared — how transportation would be affected, how sports would be affected — became the new normal and people adjusted,” she said. But Kuhfeld knows firsthand the pros and cons of late-start high schools, having attended one in Chapel Hill, N.C. “I enjoyed waking up later than everyone in the area next to me where there were early start times,” she said, but as a member of the ten- nis team, she had to miss sixth and seventh period classes to compete at other schools. In junior and senior year, that meant AP classes had to be made up. “It was hard to balance everything,” she said. “I’d get home at 8 p.m. and hadn’t had dinner yet.” Still, advocates say several studies show the benefits of late start schools outweigh the drawbacks. In 1996, high school start times in Edina, Minn., changed from 7:20 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The change improved attendance, decreased tardiness and left kids more alert, better prepared and even less depressed and less likely to visit school nurses, according to studies led by Kyla Wahlstrom, director of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota. By the end of the first year, 92 percent of Edina parents also said they preferred the later start, Wahlstrom said. Following Edina’s lead, Minneapolis, with an urban, low-income population that was very different from Edina’s affluent suburban kids, also decided to delay public high school start times, from 7:15 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. A five-year study there showed the new schedule “statistically improved graduation rates because kids who had been sleeping through their first hour were not short on credits,” Wahlstrom said. “When kids were short on credits, they would say, ‘I’m going to drop out of school.’” Today Minneapolis high schools start between 7:56 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., but none have gone back to 7:15 a.m. The National Sleep Foundation says Wahlstrom’s study of Minnesota schools demonstrates that “changing to later start times is beneficial.” Other studies published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine suggest late school starts may even reduce teen driving accidents, presumably because kids are less drowsy. A study from 2007-2008 found “significantly” higher teen crash rates in Virginia Beach, Va., than in a similar district in nearby Chesapeake where classes started 75 to 80 minutes later. A similar study in the late 1990s found crash rates for teen drivers dropped 16.5 percent in a Kentucky district after high school openings went from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Despite studies documenting good results for late starts, other concerns often carry the day. When a late start was proposed in Columbia, Mo., in the late 1990s, people understood the sleep issues, but “there were lots of other pragmatic concerns,” recalled Harris Cooper, a school board member at the time. “No. 1 was after-school activities, especially athletics and whether or not it meant that student athletes would end up having to leave school earlier and miss academic work.” And since buses there ran double routes, elementary schools would have had to take the early opening shift. “Parents of the younger kids complained that in winter, it meant their 6-year-old would have to stand out in the dark and cold an hour earlier,” said Cooper, who now teaches at Duke, where Kuhfeld was one of his students. “You don’t think about these things as a school board member until you have a mother come up and say, ‘I don’t want my 6-year-old standing out in the dark in December.’” Parents also worried that first-graders eating breakfast before boarding the bus at 7 would be hungry for lunch by 10. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
