The Holzer legacy continues today. We practice Dr. Holzer, Sr., and Dr. Holzer, Jr.’s philosophy: ‘the patient is the center of all we do,’” Saunders said. “As our system continues to grow our services, we’ll remember the past, celebrate our present accomplishments and look forward to what the future holds. Officially, the entities are one Holzer family, as it was in the beginning, and, once again, today, we can say, ‘one dream, one team, one Holzer.’” T.

With minimal snow, very little flooding, no health epidemics, or other calamity, it has been a year in all three districts where the students were in session, for the most part, as scheduled. In fact, two of the districts report they still have calamity days remaining for use just in case something should come up that would necessitate closing the school. With all of the students out of school this week, Juvenile Judge Scott Powell describes it as “an opportunity for mischief to increase.” He spoke to the Meigs students about alcohol use and other mischief at a Friday afternoon assembly and encouraged them to stay away from the temptations of things that might result in unacceptable behavior — mentioning specifically drinking alcohol. Alcohol, even a little, can create problems, he said, adding that the responsibility lies with both the students and their parents. Judge Powell, using information from a flyer he is circulating on teen alcohol use, emphasized that “parents who host lose the most.” According to informa- tion on the flyer, Ohio law says, “Ohio parents cannot give alcohol to their teen’s friends under age 21, even in their own home, even with permission from the friends’ parents.” Also, the law says adults cannot knowingly allow a person under age 21, other than their own child, to remain in their home or on their property while consuming or possessing alcohol. It doesn’t matter who brought the alcohol or how the alcohol made it to the property. Just permitting it on the property can result in a charge and even arrest. Parents and other adults are held responsible for what is happening on their property, and according to the judge, for those who break the law, there are penalties which can include not only a fine but jail time. What parents can do to avoid problems, according to the flyer, is refuse to supply alcohol for anyone under 21, be at home when your teen has a party, make sure alcohol is not brought into the home or onto the property by one of the teens, communicate with other parents about not providing alcohol at events your child will be attending, and create alcohol-free opportunities and activities in the home so teens will feel welcome and have fun.

The Meals on Wheels program has a goal of $15,000 to help with expenses associated with delivering food around the county in the hotshot trucks. The Senior Center room was filled with people for the dinner which was followed by the cake auction conducted by Taylor. All 30 of the cakes were sold, and numerous donations were made to the programs during the evening. The drive kicked off on March 1 with basket games at the Senior Center raising over $4,000. Other fundraisers planned for this month include a second dinner by the Rivercity Sports Bar, and basket games by the Home National Bank at the Syracuse Community Center on April 19.

The merger will integrate two hospital locations in Gallipolis and Jackson; 15 clinic locations that reach the larger metropolitan locations in the region — Athens, Charleston and Huntington; multiple long-term care entities including senior care facilities and assisted living establishments in Jackson and Gallipolis; over 150 providers with over 30 medical specialities; and numerous joint efforts, including Holzer Center for Cancer Care, Holzer Cardiovascular institute, Holzer Weight Loss Solutions and Holzer Center for Joint Replacement. Together, the entities that now comprise Holzer Health System employ over 2,500 people who, united, will provide a range of services, including inpatient hospital services, outpatient clinic needs, cardiovascular and cancer services, orthopedic surgeries, weight loss needs, and will staff an entire division devoted to longterm care including hospice, home care, extra care, assisted living and senior care services. “This merger between our two organizations allows us to be stable, with a greater opportunity for growth in the community and allows us to get more health care services to our community. That, in turn, will create more jobs,” Saunders commented. “I just think we’re seeing a new leaf turned over in southern Ohio today.” Ohio Valley Forecast Sunday: A slight chance of showers after 9 a.m. Mostly sunny, with a high near 78.

Randy Hart receives degree from OSU Panel backs sharing studies of lab-made bird flu Contract POMEROY — Randy W. Hart, Jr., of Salem Center, son of Randy and Sherri Hart, graduated from the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University on March 17, earning a Masters of Arts degree in Public Policy and Management. He is now in his final year of law school at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. He says that his hope is to use his education to pursue his life-long dream of public service. He is currently a candidate for Meigs County Commissioner. Hart is a 2005 graduate of Meigs High School and graduated magna cum laude from Ohio University, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with a minor in Economics. Additionally, he is state licensed as a real estate sales agent and for the past six years has worked with Cleland Realty, Inc. of Pomeroy. NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. government’s biosecurity advisers said Friday they support publishing research studies showing how scientists made new easy-to-spread forms of bird flu because the studies, now revised, don’t reveal details bioterrorists could use. The decision could end a debate that began in December when the government took the unprecedented step of asking the scientists not to publicize all the details of their work. The research, by two scientific teams — one in Wisconsin, the other in the Netherlands — was funded by the United States. It was an effort to learn more about the potential threat from bird flu in Asia. The virus so far doesn’t spread easily among people. But the new lab-made viruses spread easily among ferrets, suggesting they would also spread among humans. Last year, after reviewing earlier versions of the papers, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity said publishing full details would be too risky. The federal government agreed. Scientists around the world debated the matter. Many argued that full publication would help scientists track dangerous mutations in natural bird flu viruses and test vaccines and treatments. On Friday, board members, meeting in Washington, announced they are satisfied with the revised papers. The panel’s advice now goes to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a decision. Ohio Briefs Filing: politics part of Ohio redistricting system COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State officials are arguing to the Ohio Supreme Court that politics are an inevitable and acceptable part of the process for drawing legislative lines. Officials including Gov. John Kasich and Senate President Thomas Niehaus say nothing in the state Constitution requires absolute neutrality when it comes to creating state House and Senate districts. The officials argued in a filing with the state Supreme Court Friday that Ohio has restrictions against politics being the exclusive force behind legislative lines. The state redraws legislative and congressional districts every 10 years to reflect population shifts identified in the U.S. census, and Republicans hold a 4-1 majority on the current Apportionment Board. Democrats sued on behalf of three dozen voters in January, saying the lines were gerrymandered to favor the GOP. Ohio governor signs historical documents law COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has signed into law a bill that requires students in grades 4-12 be taught the original texts of the state and U.S. constitutions, the Declaration of Independence and other documents. Proponents of the bill signed Friday said it was important for students to study the actual texts and not just summaries and analyses. The law, which takes effect in three months, would require high school end-of-course examinations in American history and American government, and at least 20 percent of the government exam would re- late to the documents by the 20132014 school year. Critics have included Democrats who say the documents are culturally narrow, failing to include texts such as the Bill of Rights, Emancipation Proclamation and Constitutional amendments that address women’s rights and civil rights. Regional bank has $5M for Ohio area storm aid CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal regional bank is offering $5 million to help reconstruction efforts in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee following tornadoes and severe storms this month. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati said Friday the funds can be used in counties that have been designated as disaster areas by federal or state agencies in the aftermath of the March 2 storms. Hundreds of homes were damaged in the region. In Ohio, the village of Moscow was hardest hit, and four people in southwest Ohio were killed. Applications for funds will begin May 1, with grants up to $20,000 for reconstruction and up to $20,000 for purchase of a new dwelling for those who were displaced. The FHLBank is a congressionally chartered wholesale regional bank supporting housing and economic development. Report: 313 sentenced to death in Ohio since 1981 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An annual report on Ohio’s capital punishment system says 313 defendants have been sentenced to death since the state’s death penalty law took effect in 1981, with 46 executions. The report says 16 inmates were spared by governors and another 22 died of natural causes while on death row. The report released Friday by Attorney General Mike DeWine also says eight inmates were ruled ineligible for execution because they were mentally disabled and eight were set for resentencing, which could include another death sentence. The report says 71 death sentences were thrown out by judges for reasons besides mental disability or resentencing. Ohio, with 146 men and one woman on death row, is in the midst of an unofficial execution moratorium while a federal judge reviews state lethal injection procedures. Rally held for Ohio man killed in shooting by guards DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Supporters of a man killed in a shooting by apartment security guards have rallied to protest the southwest Ohio shooting they want investigated as a hate crime. More than 50 people gathered outside a Dayton courthouse on Friday in support of 25-year-old Dante Price, who police say was fatally shot March 1 at an apartment complex. The Dayton Daily News reports that one of two guards says in a 911 call that they had to shoot at Price because he was trying to hit them with his vehicle. Federal officials are reviewing a request by the Dayton chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference that the Justice Department investigate. Price’s supporters want the guards charged. Dayton police have not released their report, saying they are still investigating. Target plans Ohio food distribution center WEST JEFFERSON, Ohio (AP) — Target Corp. says it’s building a new food distribution center in central Ohio that will employ up to 150 people when completed after construction begins this spring. The center will handle produce as well as refrigerated, frozen and packaged foods, part of the company’s move to add fresh foods to hundreds of stores around the country. The facility, bigger than seven football fields, will create about 250 construction jobs and 100 to 150 permanent jobs when it opens in West Jefferson about 20 miles west of Columbus. Target says it currently operates 37 distribution centers in the U.S. Report in Ohio mauling: bear was fed outside cage ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) — The final report on the 2010 mauling death of a caretaker killed at a northeast Ohio exotic animal compound says the victim apparently was feeding the bear outside the cage when he was attacked. According to The (Elyria) Chronicle-Telegram, the Lorain County sheriff’s report was released Thursday in the death of 24-year-old Brent Kandra. The original scenario described by authorities said he was killed after opening the cage for feeding. The death was ruled a workplace accident and the bear later was destroyed. Last year the owner was found dead and chained to his bed. The coroner’s office said he was asphyxiated in an apparent accident in what authorities called sexual role-playing. New details emerge on Ohio’s health plan COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state’s plan to streamline medical care for some of its sickest, most expensive and difficult to treat patients includes changes designed to eliminate unnecessary health tests, prevent medication errors and keep people healthier and out of emergency rooms. The proposal for those enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare could end up being a model for other states, said Ohio officials who drafted the plan. The officials are expected to send the details on Monday to the federal government, which must sign off on the changes. While the final details were still being worked out, state officials told The Associated Press on Friday that people who fall under the three-year pilot program would not see any immediate changes to their providers, though they could later. The target date for the plan to take effect is Jan. 1. There would be a transition period to the new managed care system, said Greg Moody, the director of the governor’s Office of Health Transformation. “It’s not so much changing the faces they see — the case worker and others who treat them in their homes — but trying to better coordinate the things they don’t see that may be out of whack,” Moody said in an interview. Beneficiaries are guaranteed the same nursing homes and case managers for the duration of the test run. Patients could keep their same primary care doctors and specialists for at least the first year. Otherwise, they would have to pick new physicians if those doctors weren’t in the new provider network. And highest-risk sick patients could keep their same doctors and visiting nurses for the first 90 days. Moody said the plan would not lock patients in to certain providers but give them a choice within the network. Choice was among the top concerns brought to state officials by those enrolled in the programs, as well as from advocate groups such the Ohio Olmstead Task Force, which monitors long-term care issues for people with disabilities. The group’s chair, Shelley Papenfuse, said she hopes to see more details Monday on how the state plans to ensure patients have the options they need. In particular, she wants beneficiaries in wheelchairs to be able to keep providers who meet their accessibility needs, such as adjustable examination tables or X-ray machines. Papenfuse said she had hoped the state would build into the proposal a requirement that there be a specific number of providers that meet those conditions. Without it, she said, “I think we could make it worse when we move over to the new system.” State officials said Friday there would be an adequate number of providers to meet the needs of those in wheelchairs. The federal Medicare program serves the elderly and disabled, while Medicaid provides coverage for the poor through state and federal funding. The two programs operate fairly independently of each other. Medicare generally helps pay for doctor and hospital visits, along with prescription drugs. Medicaid typically helps pay for long-term care, such as nursing homes, among other services. As a result of the lack of connection between the two programs, some patients are more costly to the system, Moody said. For instance, a patient could be discharged from a hospital to a nursing home instead of to a less expensive home-based care because the two programs aren’t talking to each other in the same setting. “For folks with the most complicated health conditions, the system is very fragmented and kind of works against them,” Moody said. “What we’re trying to do with this is get all of it organized together in a way that there’s a coherent benefit for Ohioans on both Medicare and Medicaid, so they don’t have to struggle to where to go.” Ohio is proposing a threeyear pilot program, beginning with those beneficiaries in seven mostly urban re- gions across the state. There are about 196,000 so-called fully enrolled “dual eligible” people in Ohio on both programs. They make up a small fraction of the 2.2 million people getting services through Medicaid but account for about 46 percent of Medicaid long-term care spending and 16 percent of behavior health service spending, state figures show. Oftentimes, they have multiple chronic conditions and require more extended care needs. Ohio officials are trying to address what they see as inefficiencies in the fee-forservice program. “We pay if you show up to the emergency department. We pay if you’re in to see the doc,” Moody said. “We don’t pay them to coordinate.” The state expects the proposed changes to provide savings, but officials don’t have an estimate on how much. Their proposal asks that the federal government evenly split with the state any Medicare savings it would recoup from the changes. From Page A1 nior varsity softball coach for the 2012 season.

Wahama baseball team rolls past Rebels, 17-1 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — The Wahama baseball team scored early and scored often Friday night during a 17-1 victory over host South Gallia in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The visiting White Falcons (3-5, 2-1 TVC Hocking) scored at least once in each of their five innings at the plate, which ultimately led to 17 consecutive runs for a 17-0 advantage headed into the bottom of the fifth. The Rebels (1-2, 1-2) managed one run in their final at-bat, but never came closer during the mercy-rule decision. WHS outhit the Rebels by a 13-5 margin, and the guests also made only one error in the triumph — compared to four miscues by South Gallia. Wahama led 1-0, 5-0, 7-0 and 9-0 after each of the four innings, then plated seven more scores in the top of the fifth. Zach Wamsley was the winning pitcher of record, allowing five hits and two walks over five frames while fanning three. Andrew Wood took the loss for SGHS after surrendering 10 runs, 11 hits and two walks over four innings while striking out one. Wamsley led the White Falcons with four hits, followed by Zac Warth, Kane Roush and Isaac Lee with two safeties apiece. Wyatt Zuspan, Wesley Harrison and Kevin Back closed things out with one hit each for the victors. Lee drove in a team-high three RBIs, while Wamsley scored a team-best three runs. Josh Cooper paced the hosts with two hits, followed by Cory Haner, Danny Matney and David Michael with one safety each. Matney, Wood and Alex Stapleton drove in one run apiece, while Michael scored the lone run for the Rebels.

The earliest forms of printing have been attributed to the early Mesopotamian civilization and, although the technology has advanced, it’s surprising the basics of those early methods are still the same — more than 5,000 years later. Our ancient relatives coated wooden cylinders with crude inks and rolled the wooden devices over stone slabs or cloth. The result was the first printed objects in history and possibly the first attempt at mass-production with predictable results. In the modern world, wooden cylinders have been replaced with machined stainless steel. Unlike the unsophisticated inks of the Mesopotamians, today’s inks are complex mixtures of grease and dyes designed for specific applications. And, of course, we no longer roll these cylinders over stone or cloth surfaces by hand. Complicated machines handle the movement of these large rollers over a thin sheet of paper. Our cousins from long ago probably couldn’t imagine the speed and precision used in modern printing. The press at the Tribune can crank out 30,000, 24page newspapers per hour with color on 16 pages. However, those prehistoric printers would likely smile at how closely what we do today resembles what they started all those years ago. Fast-forwarding to present day, what we have here in Gallipolis is a printing hub for Heartland Publications, the Tribune’s parent company. This facility produces as many as 12 publications from three states each night. Once these newspapers are printed and packaged, they’re shipped to West Virginia, Kentucky and across southern Ohio. To say the pace of work is fast and furious would be an understatement. The Tribune’s production staff prints an average of one million copies and burns through 45 tons of paper per month. What makes this all the more impressive is all this printing is done by three press operators. Today’s press operators have evolved at a lightening-quick pace during the past 15 years. What made a good pressman in the mid 1990s was a good set of mechanical skills and a keen eye for color. With the advance of the computer age, the skill set needed to succeed in the modern pressroom has changed. The prime candidate for a press position today needs to possess the same mechanical abilities and an eye for color, but now that operator needs to have computer skills in their tool box. Printing plates are no longer “burned” by using negatives and ultraviolet light. Now, electronic files are sent to a computer, which sends images to a “computer-to-plate” machine, or CTP. The CTP machine uses lasers to place the image on the plate with greater quality, speed and accuracy. Once the plates have been produced, they are placed on the press and, just like our Mesopotamian friends, rollers press ink onto the paper. This process continues over and over throughout the night until all the Stephanie Filson/photos The mailroom staff operates the inserting machine. Each month, this crew inserts more than half a million pieces into the various products printed at the Tribune’s production hub. Stephanie Filson/photos Press Operator Mike VanCooney watches as freshly printed papers roll out of the Tribune’s press folder. runs are completed. The mailroom takes over when the pressroom is finished. The term “mailroom” may be a bit misleading since these folks have little to do with postage and mail. The mailroom crew does have some minor postal duties, but their main function is to insert sales papers into the various publications. As you might imagine, keeping up with which sales papers go into which publication on a certain date can be confusing and quite a daunting task. It takes a highly organized effort to insure everything gets where it is intended to go. The mailroom at the Tribune inserts, on average, half a million pieces per month into the different publications printed at this production hub. Considering the machine used to do the inserting can only place five different pieces into one main piece at a speed of about 8,000 copies per hour, it’s easy to understand the challenge this group faces each day. The production staff is a unique group of people. The experience levels vary from several employees with more than 25 years at the Tribune, to people with only a few months under their belts. The broad range of skills needed in today’s production environment demands diversity among its people. The modern process is part science, part computer tech, part mechanic, part artist, and most importantly, all hard worker. Each department depends heavily on each member doing his or her job to the best of his or her ability — as the next task relies on the task before being done properly. The term “team” was never more appropriately used than when describing the Stephanie Filson/photos Head Pressman Henry Rayburn prepares a press unit for one of the many nightly runs moving through the Tribune’s pressroom.

So, as you look over the paper today, you see the diligent efforts of a group of people working largely behind the scenes to make sure your paper lands at your doorstep each morning. All this, thanks to some creative people from our past who gave us the key to the world’s most popular form of communication.

Katie Couric to guest-host ‘Good Morning America’ NEW YORK (AP) — Katie Couric helped start and perpetuate morning television’s most epic winning streak. Now she’ll try to break it. ABC announced Thursday that the former “Today” show anchor will be guest host next week on “Good Morning America,” the rival wake-up show that has been rising in the ratings. She will sub for the vacationing Robin Roberts for a week, teaming with George Stephanopoulos. Couric was co-host of “Today” in December 1995, when the NBC show’s streak began. “Today” has won every week in the ratings since then, 850 consecutive and counting, according to the Nielsen company. Yet frisky “GMA” has been making noise lately. Last week the ABC show was only 137,000 viewers behind “Today” (an average of 4.98 million to 4.84 million), the closest the two shows have been since 2008. “This has been one of the longest marathons of all time,” said Tom Cibrowski, senior executive producer in charge of “Good Morning America.” ”There will eventually be a time when the No. 1 spot turns over. We strive every day to take over the No. 1 position. We never stop working on that.” He’s not making any predictions about next week, but the curiosity factor of Couric in a new morning chair seems sure to pull in some viewers. Couric was co-host of NBC’s “Today” for 15 years before leaving the network in 2006. Before jumping to ABC last year, she was at CBS, where she anchored the “Evening News.” The winning streak has a big psychological impact in one of the most important parts of the day on television for the broadcast networks. Morning shows are hugely profitable at a time of declining viewership, and none has been more of a cash cow than “Today.” The closest “GMA” got to breaking the streak, in the spring of 2005, NBC fired the “Today” show executive producer and installed the current boss, Jim Bell. “You kind of wait for these times in morning television, when you get a team together that clicks,” Cibrowski said. “We have a team that is on fire. We have the big ‘C.’ We have the chemistry now.” NBC had no comment on Thursday. Privately, some at NBC suggest that ABC’s stronger prime-time lineup is helping “GMA,” particularly when the morning show takes advantage of it by featuring stories on “Dancing With the Stars,” for example. Last week, ABC was boosted by having actors from the hottest movie, “The Hunger Games,” on the show each day of the week. ABC’s best chance of ending the streak would likely come within the next two months. NBC televises the Olympic games from London this summer, and the Olympics traditionally give a boost to “Today.” “Today” is also awaiting a decision by its top anchor, Matt Lauer, on whether he wants to continue in the morning. Photo albums related to Nazi art theft unveiled DALLAS (AP) — Among the items U.S. soldiers seized from Adolf Hitler’s Bavarian Alps hideaway in the closing days of World War II were albums meticulously documenting an often forgotten Nazi crime — the massive pillaging of artwork and other cultural items as German troops marched through Europe. Two of those albums — one filled with photographs of works of art, the other with snapshots of furniture — were donated Tuesday to the U.S. National Archives, which now has custody of 43 albums in a set of what historians believe could be as high as 100. Robert M. Edsel, founder and president of the Dallas-based Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art, which announced the discovery of the two new albums at a news conference, called them “key pieces of evidence taken from a crime scene that were prized possessions of Adolf Hitler.” Relatives of the two soldiers who took the albums contacted the foundation, which has previously donated two other albums in the series to the National Archives. They had read stories in the media about foundation’s mission, which includes continuing the work of the Monuments Men, who helped Allied forces protect cultural treasures during World War II and helped return stolen items after the war. “We can only hope for more discoveries in the years to come,” U.S. Archivist David S. Ferriero said at the news conference. The Nazi agency Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg, or ERR, created the series of albums to document the items taken from across Europe. Of the 43 albums identified so far, 39 were discovered in May 1945 at Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. They were then used as evidence at the Nuremberg trials to document the Nazi looting before eventually going to the National Archives. In 2007, the Monuments Men donated two additional albums after they were found in the attic of the family of a U.S. soldier, though the foundation has retained possession of one of those for the last few years as a teaching tool. “I think there’s a lot more of them out there,” said Edsel, who noted that the albums were used as “shopping catalogs” for Hitler to select works of art for various museums.

Social Security Column All about disability By Marcus Geiger Disability is something most people do not like to think about. But if you’re not able to work because you have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death, you may be able to get Social Security disability benefits. Here’s what you need to know. You should apply for disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. It can take months to obtain all your medical records and process an application for disability benefits (three to five months, on average). Generally, the information we need includes: • Your Social Security number; • Your birth or baptismal certificate; • Names, addresses, and phone numbers of the doctors, caseworkers, hospitals, and clinics that took care of you, and dates of your visits; • Names and dosage of all the medicine you take; • Medical records from your doctors, therapists, hospitals, clinics, and caseworkers that you already have in your possession; • Laboratory and test results; • A summary of where you worked and the kind of work you did; and • A copy of your most recent W-2 Form (Wage and Tax Statement) or, if you are self-employed, your Federal tax return for the past year. IMPORTANT — Do not delay filing for disability benefits if you don’t have all the above information in your possession. Social Security will assist you in getting the necessary documents, including obtaining your medical records. The fastest and most convenient way to apply for disability is online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability. You can save your application as you go, so you can take a break at any time. If you prefer, you may call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213, to make an appointment to apply at your local Social Security office or to set up an appointment for someone to take your application over the phone. If you are approved for disability benefits, that doesn’t mean you’ll never return to work. Social Security has special rules called “work incentives” that allow you to test your ability to work. Learn more about disability benefits and take advantage of the helpful Disability Starter Kit at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability. Q: My spouse and I are divorcing. How will we divide our retirement accounts? A: The Supreme Court of Ohio has held that retirement benefits accumulated during a marriage are marital assets, and must be divided as part of an equitable division of property. Retirement benefits really represent deferred wages earned during the marriage that are being held for future distribution. Those assets may be vested, unvested or in payout status. “Equitable” division means this property is to be divided fairly between you. Q: What types of retirement benefits must be considered? A: Private plans offered through employers or accumulated by an individual and public plans offered through governmental, federal and state entities must be considered. Federal public plans include the Civil Service Retirement System, Federal Employees Retirement System, Federal Thrift Savings Plans, Railroad Retirement Benefits and Military Benefits, in addition to Social Security. In Ohio, state plans include the State Teachers Retirement System, Public Employees Retirement System, Police and Firemen Retirement System, and deferred compensation plans. Private plans provided by an employer may include 401(k) plans and defined benefit plans. A defined benefit plan pays a defined monthly benefit at retirement for a defined period or for the life of the plan participant. Plans created by individuals may include traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs or a self-employed retirement plan. The Internal Revenue Service’s rules and regulations govern individual plans as well as the amounts that can be contributed to all individual plans. Q: How are the values of retirement plans determined? A: Plans such as 401(k)s and IRAs are valued from the statements of invested funds. Most are invested in publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds or cash accounts. Plans that provide a monthly benefit at retirement must be valued by determining the present dollar value of the future benefit. You likely will need expert analysis and testimony to establish the present dollar value of those plans. Often, experts disagree about the calculation, including what portion of a plan is marital. Pre-marriage contributions and their appreciation since the marriage are not part of the marital asset to be divided. Q: How are retirement plans divided? A: Marital retirement benefits may be divided by segregating each plan individually. If there are several plans, both private and public, each spouse may receive one-half of the marital portion of each plan. Also each party may receive one or more of the individual plans with a transfer of some portion of a plan to equalize the total distribution. A third way of dividing benefits is to allow the plan participant to fully retain the benefit while awarding other assets of equal value, such as a marital home, to the other spouse. Tax implications must be considered when choosing this method. Q: How are plan ownership interests transferred? A: To transfer an interest in a state plan, Ohio’s Division of Property Order form must be approved by the divorce court. To transfer an interest in a federal “qualified” plan, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order must be approved by the divorce court and the plan administrator. IRAs that are not qualified plans can usually be transferred by a simple letter of instruction. When drafting transfer documents, one must consider whether or not plan benefits, such as survivorship rights, death benefits before retirement and cost of living adjustments, are to be provided to the non-plan participant. The documents also frequently contain a provision saying that each party is entitled to gains and losses on the divided account once the date of division is established, Q: What about our Social Security benefits? A: Social Security benefits cannot be divided in the same way as retirement plans, but divorce courts still must consider those benefits when making an equitable distribution of property. There is a difference of opinion as how to calculate the present values of future Social Security benefits, but there must be an offset of those benefits against the present value of a spouse’s public plan. If, for example, you have future public plan benefits, but no Social Security, and your spouse has Social Security but no public plan, then either the present value of your spouse’s actual Social Security benefits, or your hypothetical benefits as if you had participated in Social Security, will be offset against the present value of your public plan when making an equitable distribution. *** This “Law You Can Use” column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

Tonight: Your energy level calls the shots. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your ability to zero in on someone’s needs might amaze that person, but it also could make him or her uncomfortable. Do not let others become aware of your sensitivity. A meeting is very important. Listen well, as you could miss an important point. Tonight: Among the crowds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to approach a situation differently. Others are very aware of what you are doing and why. Be aware that you have little privacy at the present time, and make your decisions accordingly. Maintain your boundaries. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Everyone appreciates being the focus of one person’s attention. Note the immediate reaction of one-on-one relating. Do not forget a special person in your life. Consider an investment involving your home or property. Tonight: Dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Sometimes it’s best to let someone else run with the ball, especially if this person thinks he or she has a better idea than you. Remember, nothing can replace experience. Check in on an overindulgent family member. Tonight: Let a friend make the final call.

A judge on Thursday ended the long-running probation of the problem-prone actress in a 2007 drunken driving case after a string of violations, jail sentences and rehab stints. The 25-year-old actress will remain on informal probation for taking a necklace without permission last year, but will no longer have a probation officer or face travel restrictions and weekly shifts cleaning up at the morgue. Lohan, wearing a powder blue suit and black blouse, let out a sigh of relief as she left Judge Stephanie Sautner’s courtroom, possibly for the last time. “I just want to say thank you for being fair,” Lohan told the judge. “It’s really opened a lot of doors for me.” The judge said she wasn’t going to lecture the actress, but gave her some parting advice. “You need to live your life in a more mature way, stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work,” Sautner said. She reminded Lohan that she will remain on informal probation until May 2014 in the necklace case and could face up to 245 days in jail if she gets into trouble again. Still, the end of probation left Lohan looking relieved. She hugged her attorney, Shawn Holley, before leaving the courtroom, and was beaming by the time she walked past the rows of cameras waiting for her outside the courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport. engagement Thomas Long of New Haven, West Virginia, and Nancy Long of Sutton, West Virginia, are pleased to announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter, Courtney Michele Long of New Haven, to John Hudson Smith, V, of Hartford.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stealthily populating itself on TV menus, video-ondemand has quietly seeped into our homes, remaking movie distribution with little fanfare. Once an afterthought, VOD has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, reoriented release strategy and been seen as a panacea to an independent film world desperate for audiences. Films are commonly made available before theatrical release on VOD, (this week’s new hockey comedy “Goon,” starring Liev Schriber, has been on VOD for weeks, for example). Indie distributors have more to gain from experimenting with release schedules than the more cautious major studios that still depend on big box office. But the effect is there, too: Last month, “Bridesmaids” became the most popular VOD movie yet with 4.8 million rentals. But keeping up with the land rush to on-demand can be difficult. Movies no longer just arrive on Friday nights, accompanied by newspaper reviews and local listings. They can premiere anywhere and anytime. There are the cable operators, the enormous digital outlets like iTunes and Amazon, subscriptionbased streaming services like Netlfix and Hulu, and a steady parade of new startups and apps. At the recent South By Southwest Conference, Matt Harlock, director of the 2009 indie and VOD success story “American: The Bill Hicks Story,” had one striking bit of advice for filmmakers hoping to have their films top digital queues. “Make sure your film title begins with the letters A, B, C or D,” he said. “That’s not a joke.” But there’s an apparatus of movie discovery forming around video-on-demand that might better help viewers find movies and vice versa. The untamed wilds of VOD are steadily taking shape thanks to the efforts of industry leaders like Comcast, independent distributors like Magnolia Pictures, start-ups like Prescreen and even veteran film critics like Roger Ebert. It only seems fitting to click on each separately, in on-demand style. “THE TRAILBLAZER” Magnolia Pictures began experimenting with untraditional movie release windows as early as 2005, when it made Steven Soderbergh’s “Bubble” available in dayand-date release: in movie theaters and on DVD at the same time. But VOD quickly became evident as the more appealing option: There’s virtually no cost in digital transmission as opposed to manufacturing DVDs and shipping them. “A lot of it did come out of the gross inefficiency of the traditional independent film model,” says Eammon Bowles, president of Magnolia. As Magnolia was pushing into on-demand, many independent distributors were shuttering, squeezed out of a blockbuster-driven marketplace. For Magnolia, theatrical release is still the main way it gathers attention for films, even though, Bowles says, almost all of their films generate more money on VOD than in theaters. Theatrical release means audiences, critics and the industry take a film more seriously. Any cannibalizing of box office from VOD is a moot point, says Bowles. “There is a certain amount of business that people will just stay home and watch something rather than go to the theaters,” he says. “However, the amount of business you pick from people who are never going to be able to get to theaters — weren’t going to have the film playing within 300 miles of them — just so far outstrips any revenue you could potentially lose from the theatrical.” Bowles declines to theorize on what this could mean down the road, but grants that “marketing efforts are going to start focusing more on having people go get it engagement Scott and Becky Mahan, of Gallipolis, are pleased to announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter, Heather Renae Mahan, to Bradley Steven White, of Bidwell. White is the son of Darren and Tammy White of Richwood, Ohio. Mahan graduated from Gallia Academy in 2010. She is graduating from Rio Grande Community College this May with a degree in Radiologic Technology. She is currently employed with Bob Evans in Rio Grande, Ohio. White graduated from North Union High School in 2006. He graduated from the University of Rio Grande in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. He is also currently employed with Bob Evans in Rio Grande, Ohio. The couple will be wed at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at Kingdom Ministries Church, 839 Kerr Rd., Bidwell, Ohio. on-demand.” “We’re agnostic about where the money comes from,” says Bowles. “We don’t care. Basically, our philosophy is we want to make the film available for however the customer wants to purchase it.” As much as Bowles sings the praises of VOD, he keeps it in perspective. “People don’t buy delivery systems,” he says. “They buy movies.” “THE CRITIC” Some have begun covering on-demand releases with the same gusto generally reserved for theatrical releases. On Demand Weekly, launched in 2009 by two marketing executives, touts itself as the “first and only online publication and email newsletter dedicated to the rising VOD consumer market.” But perhaps no established voice has been more aggressive in leading viewers to on-demand movies than Ebert, the famed Chicago Sun-Times critic. An active social media participant on Twitter and Facebook, Ebert posts a “Streamer of the Day” pick. He also leads a group of six critics specializing in reviewing new on-demand releases. He calls them “The Demanders.” “We spend most of our space covering films that many readers won’t come close to seeing,” Ebert writes in an email. “We decided to pay more attention to films that are playing in their living rooms.” Ebert, long an advocate for the theatrical experience of moviegoing, hopes VOD draws in additional viewers. “I’m guardedly optimistic,” he says. “With VOD as with theatrical, it’s still a blockbuster world.” “THE HEAVY” Comcast, the nation’s largest cable provider, launched its VOD service in 2003. Including both movies and TV, Comcast’s Xfinity passed 20 billion views last May. When Comcast first began rolling it out, it took time just to familiarize view- ers with the concept. Matt Strauss, senior vice president of digital and emerging platforms at Comcast, says it took years to help customers used to pay-per-view realize that the large majority of Comcast’s VOD offerings are at no further cost to subscribers. Now, their system has partnerships with all the major studios, many indies and multiple festivals (including the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival). Movies previously windowed at 45-60 days after DVD release, now often arrive at the same time DVDs do. “We’ve reached a critical mass in both the subscriber who have on-demand and the amount of revenue being generated,” says Strauss. And so no one has more interest in promoting VOD releases than Comcast. One familiar way it does this is with a “Barker” channel dedicated to promoting ondemand choices. Studios frequently send their stars to the E! Entertainment studio to promote their ondemand releases. Film critic Leonard Maltin also helps curate films, grouping them in collections. Comcast is currently testing integration with Facebook on set boxes in some markets, and working to build a recommendation algorithm to steer viewers to films they might like, or ones suggested by their friends. “The trend seems to be we’re partnering earlier and earlier in the life cycle of a movie,” says Strauss. “That’s a trend we want to continue to help nurture.” It can be a touchy subject. Last year, an early “premium VOD” release plan from DirecTV (in partnership with most major studios) drew protests from movie theaters owners. Under that arrangement, films were available for about $30 just 60 days after theatrical opening. “THE START-UP” Many tech companies are also seeking to capitalize on the hunger for VOD.
